The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 807
There are a total of [-] string-controlling people in Xianbei in the central part.

Xianbei in the east has assembled a total of [-] people who control strings, with a difference of [-] between the two sides.

However, in order to guard against the Ming army on the west side, Jian Man still left [-] cavalry as flank guards. In fact, the cavalry force of the Xianbei in the middle and the Xianbei in the east were evenly matched, and there was no overwhelming advantage.

It's just that from the beginning of the battle, it quickly turned to the central Xianbei.

The morale of the cavalry army of the Xianbei tribe in the central region is like a rainbow, and the soldiers are sharp. The Xianbei army in the east has suffered failures before, and then many of them are herdsmen who were temporarily recruited. So he was just a boy soldier.

In the protracted war between the Eastern and Central Xianbei, a large number of young and strong people died on the battlefield.

Ming Ting's intervention not only increased the intensity of the dispute between the two Xianbei in the East and Central, but also made the two Xianbei in a state of even power, which made the two Xianbei in the East and Central even worse.

In addition to the large number of casualties on the battlefield, due to the increasingly severe weather, the two Xianbei also suffered a lot of casualties due to white disasters in winter.

Since Taipingdao defeated Western Xianbei and completely established hegemony in Monan, the power of Central Xianbei could only gradually retreat to Mobei.

Most of the entire Monan area is controlled by the Taiping Road, and because of this, the Xianbei people have had extremely difficult winters in the past few years.

Although Jian Man had surrendered at that time, in winter, Xu An never allowed any Xianbei tribe to enter the Monan area controlled by the Yellow Turban Army.

Wars and famines caused heavy casualties in the two Xianbei tribes in the east and the middle. In the Tanshihuai period, they claimed to have millions of string-controllers. Now when the two sides add up, with all their strength, there are only less than [-] cavalry.

The Xianbei tribe, who used to be the overlord of the grasslands and dominated the land for thousands of miles, now counts the old and weak, women and children, and I am afraid that there are only more than a million people.

It has to be said that today's Xianbei is more than a little bit worse than the Xianbei under Tan Shihuai's command.

[-] riders sounds like a lot, but it's nothing more than a strong outsider.

It's just that Jian Man is still immersed in the dream of leading a large number of cavalry, and he is ignorant of it.

On the grassland, there is no systematic education, and the people who teach him are only a few of his elders.

He Lianbing was defeated and died, and he didn't have time to entrust his funeral.

Jian Man only has a shadow of Tanshihuai, but he doesn't have the ability of Tanshihuai, not even half of it.

He didn't know anything about the upcoming danger, his eyes and his attention were all on the south bank of Rao Leshui.

The south bank of Rao Leshui was filled with the sounds of Xianbei language.

The cavalry of Xianbei in the middle is constantly attacking the cavalry and camp of Xianbei in the east.

Although the leader tried his best to suppress it, he continued to command the cavalry of Xianbei in the east to counterattack and assist each other, temporarily stabilizing the army formation.

But the battlefield is only temporarily stabilized. As a veteran of the battlefield, the leader knows exactly how low the morale of the army under his command is now. A little carelessness may even lead to a disaster of the collapse of the entire army.

The offensive of the Xianbei army in the central area only attacked the central and western parts of the Rao Leshui River Basin, but did not attack the eastern part where the Wuhuan cavalry was stationed.

Kuitou asked Zhang Yang for reinforcements many times, but Zhang Yang always used the excuse that there were many Xianbei troops from the central region on the north bank, and he was worried about a surprise attack on the other side, so he refused to send troops.

It wasn't until the end that Zhang Yang sent a [-]-man cavalry team to support him, but he was still unable to command that [-]-man team, and only occasionally fought a few times at critical times.

Zhang Yang finally said that he also wanted to help the eastern Xianbei, but because of the problem of grassland competition, Shanggu Wuhuan and Sanjun Wuhuan were dissatisfied with the eastern Xianbei, so it was difficult to mobilize them, and it was not good to let them obey the leader's order. manage.

So I want the leader to give him the command of everyone and let him direct this battle. He promises that he will treat them equally whether they are Xianbei people or Wuhuan people.

The leader did not agree to Zhang Yang's request to hand over the command. Zhang Yang's request made him feel that Taipingdao seemed to be harboring evil intentions, so he still gritted his teeth and persisted.

The war lasted for another three days, and the central Xianbei was gradually increasing its troops to cross the south of the river, breaking through the defense lines set up by several leaders in a row.

The battle situation began to develop rapidly against the unfavorable situation of the Eastern Xianbei. At the most critical time, a team of elite cavalry from the Central Xianbei defeated the two cavalry formations of the Eastern Xianbei in succession, and went straight to the place where the leader was.

If Zhang Yang hadn't arrived in time with Wuhuan Qi, it might be unknown whether the leader is still alive.

For Zhang Yang not officially leading the Wuhuanqi to the battlefield until this time, although the leader was resentful in his heart, he still had to thank Zhang Yang for his rescue.

With Wuhuanqi joining the battlefield, the battlefield has also changed from a one-sided situation at the beginning to a balanced situation.

No matter how you say it, there are [-] Wuhuan cavalry. Excluding the [-] cavalry guarding the east, there are a total of [-] cavalry in the battlefields of the eastern and central regions. hope.

Although it was said before that the Ming army and the Wuhuan cavalry would participate in the battle, the Wuhuan cavalry never participated in the battle. Relying on themselves, they still felt that they could not win, and their morale was low.

However, the Ming army has no news at all. Ordinary Xianbei soldiers have no idea where the main force of the Ming army is at this time, whether it is really to the west of them, or whether it is really their ally. After all, they were fighting with the Ming army not long ago. fight.

The originally clear water of Rao Le Water has become extremely turbid. People step on horses and horses, and all the sand and rocks upstream are washed down, and are carried by the river to the east.

The flowing river was even tinged with blood, and corpses floated eastward along the water from time to time.

The two Xianbei tribes of the East and the Middle East have been fighting fiercely on the south bank of Rao Leshui for three days. Corpses are everywhere, blood flows like rivers, and a large number of soldiers are dying every second.

The confrontation between the two sides has reached a fever pitch, and even Zhang Yang's Wuhuanqi has suffered a lot of casualties.

The Xianbei in the central region fought and won victoriously. This is the time when the momentum is like a rainbow. Although the Xianbei in the east originally had [-] people, their courage has lost. Even if the Wuhuanqi joined them and gave them a little courage, they could not stop their downfall.

Xianbei's positions in the eastern part of the South Bank continued to be lost again, and casualties also increased linearly.

Standing on the high ground, Kuitou looked at the entangled cavalry formation not far away, feeling like a knife was twisting his heart.

In just three days, the cavalry under his command had suffered nearly [-] casualties.

If the fight continues like this, not to mention whether the army under his command can be suppressed from collapsing, even if it is suppressed, the Eastern Xianbei will be completely abolished.

He sent people to Lu Bu, who was hiding in the west, to send more than ten letters asking for support, but he didn't receive any news from all the letters asking for support, and all the news he got was only one sentence - the time has not come.

In the end, Lu Bu sent a reply letter saying that he would order to send troops when the time came, but now that the time has not come, let him not keep urging and affecting the development of the battle situation.

"Timing! Timing!"

Kuitou's heart was cold, he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and at the same time commanded the cavalry under his command to stabilize the front line.

There is indeed no problem with the performance of the Ming army, and Lu Bu's judgment is also correct. The Ming army only deliberately slackened the battle at the beginning, allowing the eastern Xianbei army to withstand the first wave of attacks from the central Xianbei army.

The first wave of large-scale attacks is often the real attack, and it is often the most lethal.

What the Ming army definitely wants is a Xianbei that is easy to control, not a Xianbei that develops and grows, and the leader knows this very well.

At the beginning, the Ming army wanted to use the central Xianbei to reduce the power of the eastern Xianbei.

However, the joining of Wuhuanqi later also proved that the Ming army was indeed helping, and did not have the mentality to continue to consume the strength of Xianbei in the east.

The anger in Kaitou's heart was actually towards the commanders and Wanchang of the Xianbei tribe in the east. First, many tribes in the north defected to Jianman, and then as the war progressed, more and more voices of opposition appeared in the army. Commander and Wan Chang also began to obey his military orders.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been so ruthlessly suppressed by the Xianbei army in the central region. Up to now, many of the people who died in the battle were from the tribes directly under the leader.

As night fell, the central Xianbei's offensive finally ceased. At this time, the central Xianbei had already occupied several major river crossings and established a firm foothold. Several important positions had been taken by the central Xianbei army, and even Jianman's The big flags have all moved to the north shore of Rao Leshui.

But the night was not peaceful.

At midnight, the Xianbei camp in the east was ablaze and riots broke out.

The central Xianbei army also launched an attack at this time. Fortunately, Zhang Yang led the Wuhuan cavalry to arrive in time, and the turmoil in the eastern Xianbei camp was quickly quelled, which disintegrated the central Xianbei army's attack.

There were traitors in the eastern Xianbei army, and several tribes wanted to rebel and join the enemy. They cooperated with the central Xianbei army, set fire to the camp, and even sent assassins to assassinate the leader.

The reason why the leader survived and immediately quelled the rebellion was because when the riot broke out, the leader secretly assembled the generals under his command, hoping that the generals would not listen to his orders, and the leader of the tribe would not listen to his orders. Kill them all, just in time for the rebellion.

By mistake, Kuitou escaped and stabilized the situation.

For Zhang Yang who came to help, Kuitou thanked him again and again, and sent a lot of treasures.

It's just that the leader was lucky, and didn't find something wrong with Zhang Yang's expression at all...

There was no time for the leader to catch his breath, and when the sun rose, the battle began again.

More central Xianbei cavalry flooded into the south bank, which also made the situation on the battlefield more difficult for the eastern Xianbei.

At this time, Jian Man mobilized another part of the army to guard against the Ming army in the west, and crossed the river to attack Xianbei in the east.

Just a little bit, just a little bit.

The Eastern Xianbei's cavalry formation seemed to be crumbling, and it was almost at its limit, and it was only a short distance away from completely defeating the Eastern Xianbei.

As long as the main force under Kuitou's command is defeated, all the other Xianbei tribes will submit to him, and when the two Xianbei tribes are unified, he will become the co-lord of Xianbei.

At that time, the Ming army had no reliable reinforcements in Mobei, and it was difficult to fight alone. Now that the Ming army has captured the land of Hebei in the Central Plains, the elite main force is all in the Central Plains, and it is impossible to deal with Mobei in a short time. The situation in the north is simply out of reach.

At that time, taking advantage of the time when the Ming army was unable to make a northern expedition, he could integrate the Xianbei tribes with peace of mind, and then take the opportunity to move eastward and take over the pastures occupied by Fuyu.

After reunification, Ding Ling in the north will not be able to stop their Xianbei people.

Then go west to unite Cheshi, Wusun and the two countries, and then put pressure on Ming Ting from three sides, and gradually take back the pasture in Monan.

That Xu'an sent people to the Western Regions to reset the Protectorate was already a serious threat to Che Shi and Wusun, and they should be able to successfully build an alliance.

In the newly established Wu'an County of Ming Court, there are still many Xianbei people who are forced to submit to Ming Court. When the time comes to attack there, they can gain a lot of troops.

Although Ming Ting won a big victory in the Central Plains, Jian Man knew that Han Ting still occupied the southern states and counties, and still had a lot of power. They could at least hold on for a while.

Han Ting must not be able to beat Ming Ting now, but as long as they delay time, he has a way to make Xianbei grow stronger again.

But the premise of everything is to defeat the leader now!

The offensive became more and more urgent, Jian Man raised his army, and the leader became ruthless. He took the soldiers under his command and stood in the front position. He knew that he must not retreat now, and he had to boost the morale of the soldiers under his command. , Hold this last line of defense.

After those tribal leaders and Wan Chang who were obedient and obedient were replaced, the execution power of Xianbei County in the east has been strengthened to a certain extent, at least there will be no more situations where friendly troops are in trouble.

And the leader's actions finally aroused the courage in the hearts of some eastern Xianbei cavalry.

Unable to attack for a long time, Jian Man became more and more anxious, and one reserve team after another was thrown into the battlefield by him, and even those defense units that were vigilant against the Ming army began to be withdrawn, and the military strength of Xianbei in the central part of the north bank was constantly declining.

The battle started in the early morning and continued into the afternoon.

There were fewer and fewer guards around the leader, and more and more banners of the Xianbei army in the central region appeared in front of his eyes, just when he was about to despair.

He found that the eyes of the originally ferocious cavalrymen of the Central Xianbei Army showed panic, and a strange atmosphere spread on the battlefield.

Several strands of thick smoke rose from the north bank, and then a huge noise came from the north bank.

The elite of the Ming army hiding in the west of Rao Leshui finally arrived at the battlefield at this time. They almost directly defeated the remaining [-] defenders and more than [-] reserves of the central Xianbei on the north bank of the central Xianbei.

The cavalry of the Ming army chose to attack without hesitation when the defense on the north bank was the weakest!
At the same time, at the foot of a mountain [-] miles north of Rao Leshui, the cavalry led by Yu Fuluo also discovered the whereabouts of the old and weak women and children of Xianbei in the central part.
