The three countries are very nuclear

Liu Yu agreed to surrender and was willing to go to recruit Wuhuan. Lin Chao also achieved his goal of going to Youzhou without bloodshed, and the first strategic goal was perfectly achieved.

Everyone understands the reason why soldiers are expensive and fast, so after only two days of rest in Ji County, Lin Chao invited Liu Yu to go north to persuade Wuhuan to surrender.

Although Wuhuan is a foreign race, there was a wave of southward migration in the early Eastern Han Dynasty.After this wave of southward migration, the original Wuhuan tribe outside the Great Wall was annexed by Xianbei.

After moving to the south, Wuhuan originally survived safely in the frontiers of Youzhou and Bingzhou, but the Han court immediately sent a general to protect Wuhuan Zhonglang to guard the north.

It is said to protect Wuhuan, but the actual job of this position is to monitor Wuhuan, prevent them from negotiating peace with Xianbei in the north, and at the same time contain Wuhuan's power.

Once Wuhuan has the intention to vote for Xianbei, the general who protects Wuhuan Zhonglang will take people to vote for Wuhuan, and after showing off his muscles, he will put all the blame on the Xianbei people.

Brothers and sisters of Wuhuan, have you seen that Xianbei is so cruel, not only killing your people, but also robbing your cattle and sheep.

With this kind of insect, how can we live a happy life?
The adults of Wuhuan tribes stared blankly at Wuhuan Zhonglang General, and the greasy slick on the corners of his mouth that he hadn't had time to wipe off, and immediately knelt down and shouted: "Zhonglang General Mingjian, the big man is our only embrace, Emperor Han!" It is the only sun on this land!
With more than 100 years of unremitting efforts to protect Wuhuan Zhonglang, the tribes of Wuhuan have died and been assimilated, and they have long lived up to their wildness and ferocity.

Now, the only Wuhuan that can organize a large-scale army is the tribe of Qiu Liju who lives in the east of Youbeiping County in Youzhou.

That is, in the fourth year of Zhongping, Qiu Liju, the master of Wuhuan who supported Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju's rebellion.

At that time, he sent his nephew Ta Dun to lead [-] Wuhuan cavalry to follow Zhang Chun, but he was severely beaten by Liu Bei in Zhongshan. In the end, he was the only one of the [-] cavalry to escape.

But now Qiu Liju has long since died, and his son Louban is too young to convince the public, so Tadun takes over the three departments and leads the whole Wuhuan.

The main goal of Liu Yu's trip to persuade Wuhuan to surrender this time is this tadun.

After hearing the news, Lin Chao couldn't help showing a smile.

It is quite interesting that the former defeated general has now become Master Wuhuan in a single leap.

Among the alien races in northern Xinjiang, only those who truly unified the grassland tribes and established a royal court are qualified to be called Shanyu.

A tribe of Wuhuan's size obviously does not have this qualification, so the leaders of the tribe are collectively called adults.

Although Tian Feng is not good at character, he is still reliable in his work. He said that the supply line can be established in two months, so he should not break his promise.

Calculating the time, it is now the end of March.The grain, grass, supplies and other supplies from Xuzhou will arrive in a month at most.

Therefore, before following Liu Yu to persuade Wuhuan to surrender, Lin Chao ordered all the generals and counselors in this expedition to take their positions.In the next month, he will intensify his training to fine-tune the tacit understanding between the generals and the soldiers.

Although there is not much room for the strategy of the war outside the Great Wall, Lin Chao still allocated all the three armies with masterminds.

Needless to say, Gao Shun and Xu Huang's journey, the judge was assigned as the military adviser.

For Zhang Liao and Lin Xi's journey, Xun You served as the military advisor.

In the end, Zhang Fei and Tai Shici led a heavy army, and Xin Ping served as the military adviser.

The remaining staff members were Jia Xu and Guo Jia, and they all followed Lin Chao in case of emergencies.

After everything was arranged properly, Lin Chao followed Liu Yu on the road to recruit Wuhuan.

For this recruitment, Lin Chao thinks that even if he can't be sure, at least I have an advantage.

But what Lin Chao didn't expect was that just after he left Guangyang County, he suddenly encountered an accident.

The Xianbei people... actually called first!
Yuyang County, Yuyang County.

Lin Chao and Liu Yu had just traveled [-] to [-] miles outside Yuyang County, when they suddenly saw bursts of dust and smoke rising from the horizon in the distance, and the violent and continuous sound of horseshoes made the surrounding ground shake.

Seeing this scene, Lin Chao's complexion changed slightly, and he turned to Liu Yu and asked, "Your envoy, is there any envoy's troops in the north of Yuyang County?"

Lin Chao thought that Lin Xi led an army to besiege the city two days ago, alarming Liu Yu's army outside, and now he was rushing over to protect Liu Yu.

But Liu Yu's answer at the next moment made Lin Chao stunned for a while.

I saw Liu Yu also looked confused, shook his head and said: "No, there is no deployment of troops in Yuyang County."

"Then whose team is this?"

Lin Chao asked with a puzzled face, and then thought of a bad possibility in his mind.

If it wasn't Liu Yu's army, it could only be Wuhuan or Xianbei's army!

It would be fine for the Wuhuan people, with Liu Yu here, the Wuhuan people would not dare to be presumptuous.

But if you meet the Xianbei people who went south to plunder...

Lin Chao turned his head and looked around him. Apart from the 2000 trapped soldiers led by Dian Wei, there were only [-] people accompanied by Liu Yu's general Yan Rou.

As for Lin Xi's [-] army, it was still hundreds of miles away.

At this time, Dian Wei, who had been guarding him all the time, suddenly said in a low voice: "Supervisor, listen to the sound of horseshoes, there are at least five or six thousand people coming!"

Five or six thousand cavalry?
Lin Chao frowned again and looked at the troops behind him. It seemed that there were only 3000 people in total, and most of them were infantry...

If this was really a tribe that the Xianbei people went south to plunder, they would probably be able to overthrow themselves with a single charge.

Then, there are only two choices left in front of him at this time.

One is running away.After leaving the 2000 people trapped in the camp and Liu Yu, it should not be a problem to escape by themselves.

Second...

Lin Chao didn't have time to think about it, so he pulled out his saber and held it high in his hand on the spot, shouting:
"Array, prepare to meet the enemy!"

At this time, most of the people were still staring at the dust and smoke in front of them, and it was not until Lin Chao's roar pulled them back from their stupefaction.

Dian Wei held up his two halberds and shouted sharply: "Trap into the camp, line up!"

Liu Yu also understood the seriousness of the situation at this moment, and ordered Yan Rou on the spot: "General Yan, quickly line up."

"only!"

Yan Rou agreed, and quickly ordered her subordinates to line up.

For a while, Dian Wei's camp and Yan Rou's troops quickly organized a defensive array within the center of Lin Chao and Liu Yu.

The trapped camp is in front, and Liu Yujun is behind.

Lin Chao and Liu Yu, on the other hand, held their breaths and stared at the dust and smoke in front of them, with a hint of worry in their eyes.

Of course, the camp is the elite among the elite, and Yan Rou's troops have been in northern Xinjiang for many years, and they are familiar with the fighting habits of foreign races.

But... the terrain here is extremely open, and the surroundings are endless plains.

In an encounter under such circumstances, no matter how elite the camp is, it is impossible to defeat cavalry that is several times larger than itself.

The clacking of horseshoes became louder and louder, and the dust and smoke from the dust in front of them became higher and higher, driving the hearts of everyone to beat faster and faster.

Lin Chao forced himself to calm down, and hurriedly asked Liu Yu: "Your Majesty has been in Youzhou for more than ten years, has he ever fought against a foreign race from Xianbei? How was the outcome?"

Liu Yu shook his head and said, "Although the barbarians go south to plunder every winter, there are three tribes of Wuhuan, but they have never confronted these barbarians head-on."

Hearing this, Lin Chao immediately understood what Liu Yu meant.

There are two pieces of information revealed by this sentence, one is that Liu Yu has hardly been in the battle in person, and the other is that with Wuhuan's power, he has been able to prevent Xianbei from invading south.

Combined with the battle between Zhongshan and Tadun more than ten years ago, Lin Chao has roughly estimated the combat power of Xianbei in his heart.

"Supervisor, here we come!"

Just when Lin Chao's thoughts were spinning thousands of times, Dian Wei let out a loud shout.

Lin Chao hurriedly looked around, and saw a large group of cavalry rushing out of the dust and smoke, all of them were dressed as barbarians, and each of them had a ferocious smile on their faces, holding a long spear-like weapon in their hands, It was Ma Yang.

"Your envoy, you are from Xianbei!"

Seeing this, Yan Rou hurriedly shouted.

With this shout, everyone's heart 'clicked', and the previous luck was gone.

Not Wuhuan, but Xianbei people, a big battle is inevitable.

"Supervisor, you go first, and I will end up with you in the end!"

Dian Wei quickly turned his head and shouted to Lin Chao.

"No, as the commander-in-chief, there is no reason to back down." Lin Chaoxian rejected Dianwei's proposal, and then said to Guo Jia, "Feng Xiao, you and Liu Shijun hurry up and find rescuers before coming back." .”

Lin Chao looked at the Xianbei cavalry in the distance, frowned and said.

No matter what, Liu Yu had to be taken away first, without him, there was no hope of recruiting Wuhuan.

"If you don't go, you go." Guo Jia shook his head decisively and said, "Zicu, as the commander-in-chief of the three armies, you should protect yourself first."

"Because XX is the commander-in-chief, staying here boosts morale even more. Stop talking nonsense, XX ordered you to take Liu Shijun and go first!"

Guo Jia still refused to leave. He gritted his teeth and said, "Zichu, you should go. If you encounter misfortune, how will this Northern Expedition proceed?"

"Guo Fengxiao, are you going to disobey orders?"

Seeing that the two were arguing, Jia Xu said weakly from the side: "How about... the three of us go together?"

As soon as this remark came out, Lin Chao and Guo Jia immediately glared at him.

Jia Wenhe, you bastard is so greedy for life and afraid of death!

At this time, the Xianbei cavalry in the distance also spotted this Han army, and their faces were stunned.

In the past, when they went south to plunder, it was only after a lot of burning and killing that the Han people reacted. Why was it so fast this time?
But when they saw that the number of the Han army was far smaller than their own, and most of them were infantry, the smiles on their faces became even crazier.

It's ridiculous that such a small number of people want to obstruct our hunting south!
The leader of this Xianbei army was a tall man in his 20s with a deep and long scar on the left side of his face.The smirk on his face, coupled with this scar, looked extremely terrifying under the noon sun.

This man's name is Cheng Lugui, and he is the younger brother of Su Li, the leader of the Xianbei tribe. This time he went south to plunder, and was appointed by Su Li as the vanguard general.

General Cheng Lugui held up the horse in his hand, and shouted: "Boys, go up and kill all these Han people. Their armor, weapons and food are all ours, kill!"

"Woooo..."

As soon as the Xianbei soldiers in a place of scarcity heard about the supplies and food, their eyes glowed green on the spot, they rushed forward screaming, and went straight to Lin Chao and others.

"Jun Ming, order someone to take Guo Fengxiao and Liu Shijun with him."

Seeing that the Xianbei people were getting closer, Lin Chao no longer entangled with Guo Jia, but directly ordered Dian Wei.

"As ordered!"

Dian Wei agreed, and then arranged for more than a dozen soldiers to protect Guo Jia and Liu Yu and leave first.

Seeing that Lin Chao had made up his mind, Guo Jia did not continue to insist, but solemnly said to Lin Chao: "Zi Chu, you must persist for a day, and in just one day, someone will definitely lead an army to rescue you .”

"Let's talk nonsense, let's go quickly." Lin Chao said to Liu Yu, "Your envoy is rich and precious, please step back first, and watch some beat up these barbarian thieves!"

At the critical moment, Liu Yu naturally distinguished the seriousness, nodded hurriedly and said: "Zichu take care, there is a Wuhuan tribe in Youbeiping less than a hundred miles away from here, and I will come to help you after I find a rescuer!"

With that said, Liu Yu stepped on the horse and departed from Guo Jia.

After the two left, Xianbei's cavalry had advanced to a distance of less than a thousand steps from Lin Chao, and the soldiers lined up at the front could even see the flashes of the sharp blades at both ends of the Xianbei cavalry's horses.

But they still looked resolute, unmoved, but quietly clenched the sword and shield in their hands to prepare for the upcoming battle.

When the war was about to break out, Lin Chao calmed down instead.

After nearly [-] years of fighting, I have been doing things behind, but now I have encountered barbarians unexpectedly, and I have fallen into a situation where I can't retreat. I have to sigh the wonder of fate.

"Hey, Lin Zichu, if you want to die, just why do you bring a..."

Jia Xu lamented while taking out his crossbow.

I just want to move rescuers, but I don't want to fight these barbarians to death!
Lin Zichu, when you die, you want to drag someone's back, right?
"Wen He's words are wrong. Although this battle is outnumbered, the barbarians may not win, and we may not lose..."

But Jia Xu didn't want to listen to Lin Chao's talk anymore, and continued to concentrate on checking the crossbow and arrows in his hand.

At this time, this thing is much more reliable than Lin Zichu's mouth.

"Bowman, let go!"

At this time, the Xianbei people had already rushed into the front of the formation by about [-] steps. Although Yan Rou had only [-] crossbowmen under his command, they were all used by him.

The rain of arrows shot by five hundred crossbowmen was not considered massive, but the poor Xianbei people, who only had a few pieces of rough leather armor made of cow and sheepskin, obviously couldn't stop the arrows, and there were nearly a hundred people on the spot. People were shot, and dozens of people fell down and fell off their horses.

Two hundred steps is almost the limit of the range of the bow and crossbow, and it is not the effective range.

Therefore, this round of projectiles only weakened the morale of the enemy army.

But were the Xianbei people frightened?
Absolutely not!

Although the arrows are terrifying, they are very clear about one thing when facing the Han troops who don't have many cavalry.

As long as you quickly pass through the rain of arrows of these Han Chinese, the remaining Han Chinese infantry will be lambs waiting to be slaughtered!
Therefore, this round of projectiles not only failed to deter the Xianbei people, but aroused their animal nature, making them not care about horsepower at all, and rushed faster.

boom!
Although he hadn't been on the battlefield in person in seven or eight years, Dian Wei's eyes suddenly became fierce as he watched the Xianbei people getting closer and closer, and the blood in his body heated up rapidly.

"Xianbei brats, come on!"
