Three Kingdoms: Jiuyuan Tiger

Chapter 404 Ambush

The first thing to deal with is the corpses of soldiers who died in battle.

These heroic souls must be returned to their hometowns for a dignified burial!

Although Lu Bu didn't explain the matter before he fell into a coma, how could Wang Meng ignore such important matters?
"Salute, send the heroic soul!" Wang Meng said loudly.

A group of soldiers who collected the corpses saluted solemnly, and watched the carriage full of former comrades-in-arms return to the city with tears in their eyes.

After confining the corpses of the Youzhou army, the corpses of the Xianbei cavalry also needed to be disposed of.

The way to dispose of these corpses is relatively simple and rough, just dig some deep pits, throw them in and fill them with soil, and you're done!

Not only the dead Xianbei cavalry were thrown into the pit, but also the Xianbei cavalry who were seriously injured and dying, half dead, also failed to escape.

But there is nothing wrong with Wang Meng's doing so. His own medical conditions are not developed, and the doctors are too busy to treat the wounded soldiers of the Youzhou Army. How can they have time to treat these Xianbei people?

After disposing of the corpses, Wang Meng sent people to clean up the weapons and equipment left on the battlefield. After cleaning, these trivial matters were basically completed.

Although the Xianbei people's smelting technology is not good, it doesn't delay to clean up the weapons they left behind. At worst, they just have to go back to the furnace and remake them.

……

Two flowers bloomed, each representing a branch. Generals Zhang Liao and Guan Yu received a letter from Wang Meng while they were marching towards the grassland.

When he saw the extra-large carrier pigeon, Zhang Liao's expression was obviously stunned. He had seen quite a few carrier pigeons before, but this was the first time he had seen such a large carrier pigeon!
After taking down the map and looking at it, Zhang Liao said happily to Guan Yu: "Brother Yun, the clouds in the sky are really scattered this time!"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Liao handed the animal skin map and letter to Guan Yu, and Guan Yu smiled unconsciously after reading it.

The two of them were still discussing where to deploy the ambush just now, now just follow the location marked by the military advisers to mobilize troops!

When stopping to rest and feed the horses, Zhang Liao and Guan Yu were not idle, and hurriedly called all the generals under their command to discuss matters.

Li Ji and Xu Shu became the main force in arranging combat missions, Xu Huang, Yu Chigong, and Tai Shici were on the sidelines to support them, and the rest of the generals were not at all like this.

Zhou Cang, Cao Xing, Hua Rong, Yang Qilang, Yang Zaixing, and Ta Dun, how could they do this kind of work.

"Brothers, let's talk about how to fight this battle!" Zhang Liao said.

"General Rong Rong, the Xianbei people returned in a big defeat, and only less than [-] of the [-] troops fled back. Even if the leaders of Xianbei summoned their own young and strong, it would be difficult to achieve anything. What we have to do now is to use the smallest The price is to wipe out Xianbei's remaining combat power," Xu Shu said.

"Brother Yuanzhi is right. At this time, the Xianbei people are like frightened birds, wanting to hide and not fight. The current strategy is to stop the Xianbei people from retreating, so that they cannot return to the tribe; if they do not stop the Xianbei people, then We can only design to force it to fight, and then destroy it in one fell swoop." Li Ji nodded.

After the discussion, Zhang Liao and Guan Yu decided to divide their troops into two groups. Guan Yu was responsible for intercepting the Xianbei people who fled back to the grassland, while Zhang Liao made two-handed preparations and set out to lure the Xianbei people to fight.

To lure the Xianbei people to fight, there must naturally be a goal. The goal Zhang Liao chose was the largest pasture on the Xianbei grassland.

The name of this ranch is "Hegu". The Hegu ranch is rich in water and grass, among which there are countless cattle and sheep, and the Xianbei people value it very much.

If the Hegu Ranch was used as bait, even if the Xianbei people had no intention of fighting, they would have to bite the bullet and fight this battle.

If the Xianbei people didn't keep the Hegu Ranch, it would be in line with Zhang Liao's wishes, and he would drive the tens of thousands of cattle and sheep back to Youzhou, and feel sorry for these Xianbei people!
Normally, the Xianbei people were very strict about the Hegu Ranch, and even built a city fortress to defend it, but this time Agu fought and took away most of the Xianbei's young and strong, and the defense of the Hegu Ranch was therefore empty.

In other words, Zhang Liao didn't need to spend too much effort to win the Hegu Ranch.

In a word, with the Hegu Ranch as bait, no matter whether the Xianbei sent troops or not, the Youzhou Army would remain invincible.

……

The leaders of Xianbei, who fled in a panic, put away their prejudice against each other. Like bereaved dogs, they knew that if there was another internal strife at this time, Xianbei would not be far from the day of being a famous family.

At this time, only four of the seven chiefs of Xianbei remained, namely Budugen, Fuluohan, Kebineng and Suli.

The three leaders Kuitou, Mi Jia, and Que Ji either died in the chaos or during the retreat.

The Budugens and the others seem amiable on the surface, but they have their own ghosts behind their backs.

The two brothers Bu Dugen and Fu Luohan naturally stood on one side, while Ke Bineng and Su Li, two lonely people, formed an alliance temporarily.

The more than [-] Xianbei cavalry were divided into two groups, one led by Bu Dugen and the other led by Ke Bineng.

Although the four of them were afraid of each other, they didn't fight with each other. At this time, everyone was a little wary and didn't dare to be too presumptuous.

If they hadn't experienced this big defeat, these four would have fought long ago!

The two routes predicted by Wang Meng and others were indeed the necessary retreat routes for Bu Dugen and others, but Ke Bineng put more thought into it and suggested a detour back to the grassland.

But Ke Bineng's kindness was regarded by Bu Dugen as the liver and lungs of a donkey, and Bu Dugen insisted on returning the same way. No matter how Ke Bineng tried to persuade him, it didn't work.

Seeing that Budugen was determined to seek death, Ke Bineng didn't bother to care about him.

In this way, more than [-] Xianbei cavalry parted ways, the two brothers Budugen and Fuluohan returned by the same route, and Ke Bineng and Suli returned to the tribe by detour.

After the battle in Jizhou was over, Brother Jin Yiwei rushed to the Xianbei Grassland non-stop, but because he was too hasty, Jin Yiwei only found traces of Budugen.

As for Ke Bineng, who changed his route, Jin Yiwei didn't find it. After all, Jin Yiwei's understanding of this grassland couldn't be compared with Ke Bineng. It was not easy to find Budugen's trace.

After hearing the news, Guan Yu immediately sent a letter to Zhang Liaoxiu with pigeons. The letter stated that Budugen only brought more than [-] soldiers and horses back according to the predetermined route, and the other [-] soldiers and horses were missing.

The two brothers Bu Dugen and Fu Luohan who stepped into the ambush circle only persisted in the ambush circle for less than half an hour.

Traps, bridles, and caltrops were all over the ground, and with the overwhelming rain of arrows, the more than ten thousand Xianbei cavalry had no strength to fight back.

In this ambush, Guan Yu did not accept the surrender of the Xianbei cavalry. the weapon!
So the [-] Bingzhou wolves kept raining arrows and didn't stop until they had shot all the arrows in their quiver.

Most of the Xianbei cavalry who died in the ambush circle were shot into sieves, and there were not a few Xianbei cavalry who died under their own horseshoes.

After briefly cleaning the battlefield on the periphery, Guan Yu immediately led his troops towards the Hegu Ranch, intending to join Zhang Liao and annihilate the remaining Xianbei cavalry in one fell swoop.

[It's the beginning of the month, ask my buddies for a monthly pass, thank you buddies! 】

　The second watch arrives!
