The Liaodong Iron Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 281 The Battle of Xianbei Five

Only now did He Lian realize that the Han army was definitely not the five thousand he had seen.If Cheng Lugui had been sent to act as the vanguard, at least the entire army would not have been wiped out.

"Han people are despicable!" He Lian, who had been silent for a long time, finally broke out. At this moment, his eyes were red, and he looked like he wanted to eat people.

"The combat power of the Han army is so powerful!" Cheng Lugui said, swallowing his saliva.

"Perhaps, only the personal soldiers of the Great Chanyu can fight against it." The leader beside him said in a low voice.

The corpses of the [-] army and the [-] vanguard army are in front of them, and there are three Jingguan. The whole scene makes all the Xianbei people fall into a crowd of inexplicable fear!
Under Helian's order, the remaining [-] Xianbei troops retreated five miles to the village, and then sent some people to clean up the battlefield, especially the three Jingguan.

Huo Yu was celebrating the achievements of Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Sun Ce and others when he was in the king's court of Khan Mountain.In this battle, [-] Xianbei vanguard troops were defeated, which completely hit the morale of Xianbei people.

"Everyone, drink this cup to the brim! Today's battle will destroy the hearts of the people!" Huo Yu stood up and proposed, and drank it down in one gulp after finishing his speech.

"Thank you, my lord (Jihou)!" Everyone in the tent stood up and replied.

"The big battle is imminent, so don't drink too much tonight. After the three cups, go back to the camp to rest. Tomorrow morning, the whole army will retreat to the south!" Looking at the expressions of everyone, Huo Yu said again.

"Promise!" The Youzhou general readily agreed, but Sun Ce showed surprise, and was stopped by Huang Gai when he was about to ask.

However, this series of actions was noticed by Huo Yu, and he said to Sun Ce with a smile, "Don't be alarmed, brother! This is the case of Youzhou military regulations! As for the southward retreat, we will know the reason in the future."

The so-called celebration banquet soon dissipated, and Sun Ce returned to the tent, still puzzled, frowning and saying nothing.

"My lord, are you thinking about the banquet?" Huang Gai looked at Sun Ce and asked.

"Youzhou's military regulations are strict, and we have seen it before. But why is this retreat to the south? Why not fight a decisive battle tomorrow after today's big victory? Or gather danger and defend?" Sun Ce expressed his confusion in one breath.

"My lord, the two military advisers of Marquis Ji are not extraordinary people. I think they must have been tampered with in the royal court of Danhan Mountain. The last general just checked carefully and found nothing!" Chen Pu added from the side.

"What do you want to do? A certain family thinks that the day of the decisive battle is not far away! Ji Hou led his troops to retreat south, which is likely to lure the enemy into deep! Isn't that what happened in today's battle?" Han Dang said after hearing the words.

"Hey! My father ordered me to read more military books, but now I see the Youzhou Army's fighting methods, it's too late to regret it!" Sun Ce sighed, holding his head.

"My lord has no brains, just invite a few more great sages in the future!" Huang Gai comforted.

Early the next morning, the Youzhou Army began an orderly retreat, and the entire [-]-strong army headed south in a mighty manner, as if the Xianbei people might not know about it.

On the way to the south, Guo Jia suddenly asked, "My lord, is this really the case?"

"En." Huo Yu nodded vigorously.

"That's [-] lives! I'm afraid it's against the peace of heaven to do so." Guo Jia sighed.

"Hahaha, what is Tianhe? Is it possible that I, the Han, should be massacred by foreigners! In recent years, how many people of the Han people have been killed by the Xianbei people? This time, this Marquis is going to let these foreigners pay for their blood!" Huo Yu loudly As he spoke, the soldiers beside him could hear him clearly.

"Hey! Anyway, this plan is also offered by Jia! If you lose your life, let's lose your life!" Guo Jia said with a long sigh, his lord is really merciless to foreigners.

"Feng Xiao, don't forget that you also have a share of loyalty!" Xi Zhicai said immediately.

"What are you arguing about! This is my general's order!" Huo Yu immediately said displeased.

To be honest, it's not clear to Huo Yu that this hurts peace.When he first became a teacher of Zuo Ci, he once warned Huo Yu not to cause too many killings.Today's Huo Yu has no other way, not to mention Xianbei this time, but also to let Goguryeo, Fuyu and other countries see Youzhou's military might.

"Report! Da Shanyu, the Youzhou army gave up on the big fanfare of Danhan Mountain and retreated to the south!" He Lian, who had just got up, heard the first good news of the day.

"Investigate again, we must have accurate information!" Helian has been calculated repeatedly by the Han army, and now Helian has begun to disbelieve the news that his scouts have detected!
Throughout the morning, scouts from the Xianbei camp came and went, busy.So far, Huo Yu led an army of [-] troops and indeed retreated southward.Now it's Helian's turn to commit a crime, to pursue or not to pursue?Although he has the advantage in soldiers and horses, Helian is hesitant.

After thinking twice, He Lian wisely decided to preserve his strength, but he did not order the army to enter Danhan Mountain.Helian, who has suffered several losses, still has some understanding of the usual tactics of the Han army.

That night, the entire Xianbei camp was brightly lit, and looked like it was ready for battle.However, nothing happened that night. It was not until the second day that the Xianbei scouts confirmed that Huo Yu was leading the army away, and He Lian's hanging heart swallowed back.

Without the threat of the Han army, He Lian immediately ordered the whole army to pull out the camp and rush to Danhanshan Wangting.When they arrived, He Lian wanted to cry, and Danhan Mountain was looted by the Han army.However, life still has to go on, so Helian ordered the entire army to be stationed.

"Chenglugui, you have worked so hard this time, drink this cup to the brim!" Wang Zhangnei and Lianju said drunkenly.

"Thank you, Shanyu." Cheng Lugui drank the wine in one gulp, he could feel the loss in Helian's heart.

At the foot of Danhan Mountain, the Xianbei people who had been paying attention to the south would never have imagined that a cavalry came quietly from the east.

"It's time to start, Junyi and Yunchang will wait and see!" Huang Zhong said coldly.

"No!" The two agreed at the same time and left.

"Command, raise the fire!"

The general order was conveyed quickly, and after a while, the entire east of Danhan Mountain was already in flames.The wolf riders took out the fire starters they had prepared in advance, poured various kinds of grease on them and lit them.The ground that had been tampered with in advance burned quickly, and in a short while, a burning fire field was formed.

He Lian and Cheng Lugui, who came out of the inquiry, frowned and said nothing as they watched the fire at the foot of the mountain.

"What do the Han people want to do?" He Lian asked after a moment of silence.

"Burning the Khan Mountain?" Cheng Lugui said casually.

"Not good!" He Lian was shocked at the moment, and stopped immediately after taking two steps, his frowning brows suddenly relaxed, and then he said with a smile: "The cunning Han people were almost fooled, and they actually wanted to lure our army to attack Then ambush!"

"Da Shan Yu is wise, the Han people are treacherous, why not wait until dawn to make a decision!" Cheng Lugui flattered him quietly!
"General, the Xianbei people didn't go down the mountain!" A Tianyu guard came to report to Huang Zhong.

"My lord, Ji Cheng, He Lian is afraid of being ambushed by our army, so he dare not go down the mountain at night so it's just right!" Huang Zhong said with a smile.
