Wei Ni

Chapter 144 Victory

After fighting fiercely for an hour, I suddenly saw the cavalry, both men and horses wearing heavy armor, rushing towards me. The feeling was indescribable.

That is the despair of a person who has already foreseen his own end.

It is a kind of despair without the power to resist.

Even if these Xianbei elite infantry were warriors whom Kirby had kindly trained, and who had suffered more than half of their casualties but still had high morale, everyone still felt depressed that there was no way to save the day.

Their hunch was right.

“Unprecedented!”

Accompanied by a loud shout from the Tiger Cavalry Commander, the five hundred Tiger Cavalry galloping at high speed lowered their spears and slammed into the Xianbei infantry formation from the weak spot on the left wing.

Suddenly, the neighing of war horses, the muffled grunt of human bodies being sent flying by heavily armored war horses, the shrill screams of being pierced by spears, and the sound of broken bones being trampled by the hoofs of giant horses dominated the battlefield; Red and black blood, white brains, black liver and intestines, and minced meat that had been trampled into the dust were spread all over the Sanggan River.

The tiger cavalry, with both men and horses in black armor, was as unstoppable as an arrow fed by the long wind. The wanton Xianbei infantry array ran rampant, constantly harvesting human lives, and also divided and destroyed the Xianbei array front.

The elite Xianbei infantrymen, who had been excited by the achievement of beheading the general and seizing the flag, now all had sad faces and no fighting spirit; the battle line, which had held out for an hour without giving an inch, finally fell apart.

And those warriors from various tribes who had just taken over to fill the front lines and fought fiercely were even more unbearable.

When they saw the heavily armored tiger cavalry charging towards them, some people stood stunned and in disbelief; some were so frightened and brave that they actually used their swords and spears to move forward instead of retreating, trying to use the mantis as a chariot; but more people followed suit. Due to the instinct of survival, they fled in panic in order to survive. There were also some who threw away their swords, spears and armor while escaping.

The battle formation collapsed so quickly and the soldiers fled so fiercely that even Dai Hua Langni, the young commander who had been privately instructed by Bu Dugen, had no chance to make a fuss.

Because at this time, the infantry of the Wei army had already seized the opportunity, and everyone bravely drove them back in order to reverse the enemy's formation.

If Dai Hua Langni dared to delay for a moment, he might not be pushed and trampled to death by his own army, but he would also be beheaded by the Wei army who followed closely behind.

"The bandit formation has been broken!"

"The Hulu army is defeated!"

The Wei army shouted loudly while chasing Xianbei's defeated troops.

It also made Kirby, who was watching the battle from a distance and had just driven his horse and his bodyguards for more than a hundred steps to go to the front line to inspire people in order to maintain the front line from being destroyed, couldn't help but close his eyes and sigh in vain.

Who could have expected that the Xianbei infantry, which had persisted for an hour without fear of death, would suffer a huge rout in an instant?

However, Kirby was able to open his eyes quickly.

Although his eyes were a little bloodshot and his clenched teeth were vaguely visible in his slightly trembling lips, it could be seen from his tenacious eyes that he had not given up.

He felt that his side still had a chance to turn the tide of the war.

It's just that the infantry array of nearly 30,000 people collapsed. The Xianbei coalition still had 70,000 to 80,000 cavalry. In the battle situation, his side still had a huge numerical advantage.

And among the Xianbei cavalry, about 40,000 are his direct descendants!
Yes, he had more than 100,000 horsemen at his peak. Even if he lost some in the early wars and deducted the necessary manpower to stay in the pastures and take care of women, children, cattle and sheep, he can still control 40,000 horsemen today. Come join this battle.

As long as the rangers from his direct line refused to retreat and led the rangers from other tribes to surround and strangle the Wei cavalry, the war would still develop towards the situation he expected.

He can still defeat the Wei army and help him crown the Xianbei Chanyu!

Anyway, in his mind, the three thousand elite infantry of the direct lineage and the warriors drawn from various tribes were consumables used to contain the Wei infantry, and they were sacrifices that had to be sacrificed for the final victory.

It would be a pity if it collapsed and was killed!

But as long as we win, it won’t be a pity at all!
"Somebody come!"

He took a deep breath and called loudly to the guards behind him, intending to have people go forward to deliver the order, asking all the rangers to make sure that before the Wei army drove their infantry to the rear, reorganized their vehicle formations, and moved to the rescue, he Qin Lang's thousands of riders were wiped out.

Even if they cannot be destroyed, they must be killed to the last ten or three.

For this reason, he was willing to pay the price of losing another 20,000 of his direct cavalry.

However, before he could finish giving orders to his personal guards, his words suddenly stopped and his eyes were cracked.

Because the various rangers he had high hopes for, the rangers who had an absolute numerical advantage and the absolute upper hand, actually gave up the opportunity at their fingertips and raced back to escape! That's right, the morale of the various rangers collapsed in an instant!

Just when the battlefield was filled with cheers for the Wei army to break through the Xianbei infantry array, those rangers felt that they had been defeated and there was no point in fighting anymore, so they followed the shameless escape in their bones and fled to their deaths.

The shortcomings of the loose tribal alliance system and the disunity of people suddenly broke out at this moment, directly crushing Kirby Neng's Xianbei Shanyu dream.

Am I defeated like this? !

Kirby, whose mouth was still open, looked at the battlefield filled with wolves and pigs in despair, with bitterness on the corners of his mouth.

"Sir, leave quickly!"

But his personal guards didn't care about this, and hurriedly pulled the horse's reins to lead him away from the battlefield.

As for Bu Dugen, who was not far from him before~
At this moment, the horse was galloping two hundred miles away.

At this point, the war came to a dramatic end. The Xianbei coalition was defeated undefeated while still having a huge advantage.

The Wei army gave up after chasing for only ten miles.

There is no way, there are too few cavalry.

Moreover, Qin Lang, who was about to be trapped before, was cautious again. He was suspicious of the Xianbei Rangers' sudden initiative to break out of the siege and run away, and did not pursue them in time.

However, the results were fruitful.

Nearly 30,000 Xianbei infantry escaped with less than 10,000 people.

In addition to the more than 7,000 people who were killed in battle or were pushed and trampled to death, there were still more than 16,000 people captured.

What is rare and valuable is that almost all the weapons and armor that Bi Gui, the governor of Bingzhou, lost in the defeat, and the weapons and armor that Kirby was able to accumulate in 20 years of hard work, were picked up by the Wei army.

This alone is enough to make up for the loss of national strength caused by the expedition from the north.

As the saying goes, "If you eat an enemy for one minute, you will be worth twenty for me."
More than 10,000 prisoners and thousands of weapons and armors were already a heavy blow to the thief chief Kirbineng.

Of course, the Wei army was not satisfied and returned.

After combing the battlefield, rescuing wounded soldiers, and urging soldiers from all ministries to return to camp, Qin Lang, who had been busy all night, could not afford to rest, so he walked alone in the dim light of the morning sun to find Tian Yu to discuss whether to move north to Pingcheng.

Well, he has chosen to forget about being irritated by Tian Yu.

But before the two of them could reach a conclusion, a group of Xianbei cavalry, "escorted" by the crossbows of Wei army scouts, abandoned their weapons and came to them on foot.

There were quite a few women and children in this group.

Several of them looked very familiar to Tian Yu.

It seemed like he had seen it before.

Soon, when the Xianbei people who were brought forward revealed their identities, Tian Yu remembered it.

These women and children are the children, wives, and concubines who have returned to the mud.

In his early years, when he was still at the frontier, he took Xie Guini, who had surrendered to Wei very early, to attack Kebineng several times, and he also personally entered the Xie Guini tribe to celebrate his achievements with banquets.

According to Xianbei customs, it is not considered rude to let the wife and children come out to meet guests.

The reason why they came was because of Xie Guini's sincerity in requesting to join the Wei State again.

Because Budugen is dead.

The enraged Kirby could kill it himself. (End of chapter)
