The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 458 Chapter 457 West Wind (24)

God seems to have been taking care of Zhang Yan. The eight troops have not encountered any danger from the beginning to the end. I don't know whether Zhang Yan's plan is too rigorous or the Xianbei people's defense is too lax.

In short, the eight troops have all arrived at the designated location, and it is time for them to put on a good show.

The domes are densely arranged, and groups of Xianbei people sit by the campfire and enjoy the fun of their lives.

Suddenly, a dark round iron ball flew over from the night sky, and fell directly into a bonfire in front of a dome. More than 20 Xianbei people sitting around the bonfire looked at each other for a while, just as they were full of heart. Curious as if to see what happened, I only heard the sound of chichi burning in the campfire.

"boom!"

A huge explosion broke the tranquility of the night on the grassland, and like a thunderbolt from the blue, it opened the prelude to this big drama in the Xianbei camp.

The group of more than 20 Xianbei people sitting by the bonfire were instantly sent flying far away by the air waves generated by the explosion, and the fragments of the iron ball also flew towards their bodies quickly, which immediately made the group of people The flesh and blood were bloody, and even the bonfire was splashed by the sparks from the explosion, and the dome not far from the side suffered even more, and the bonfire was burned by the blown bonfire.

Before the rest of the Xianbei could react, a series of explosions sounded one after another. In the Xianbei camp at the foot of Jiluo Mountain, such huge explosions could be heard from all directions. Injured, and Qionglu suffered even more, and were burned by fire one after another.

But tonight, the westerly wind blew up on the grassland again. Under the blowing of the westerly wind, the burning dome gradually spread to all directions.

The sudden scene made the Xianbei people at a loss. Before everyone figured out what was going on, Zhang Yan and others launched an attack on the Xianbei people from eight different directions at the same time. Thunderbolt bombs were constantly thrown into the bonfire in the campfire, and the cavalrymen who rushed to the front all had hideous faces, and their eyes were full of murderous intent.

The chaos started suddenly, and the Xianbei people were caught off guard. Because it was difficult to distinguish at night, and they didn't know how many people were coming, some Xianbei people wanted to stop them, but they were killed by the cavalry rushing over.

For a while, the Xianbei people's camp was in chaos, with explosions and miserable cries everywhere. In addition, the fire spread everywhere, which made it more difficult for the Xianbei people to resist.

Since the Xianbei people are fighting against the coalition forces from the Western Regions in Jinwei Mountain area, they have taken away almost all the elite troops, leaving behind only some old and weak women and children. Although there is an army, facing such a chaotic scene, they all Time does not know what to do.

And Zhang Yan, Ma Chao, Tai Shici, Xu Chu, Pang De, Ma Dai, Wang Shuang, Yang Fu and others each commanded their subordinates, and launched a fierce attack on the Xianbei people according to the previously discussed strategy. If you resist, kill them all.

The flames of war quickly spread from the fringes of the Xianbei camp to Shan Yuting in the center. The Shan Yuri Deduction of the Xianbei people in the west led the army to Jinwei Mountain. The children, and the families of the rest of the Xianbei nobles.

Most of the guards responsible for guarding Shan Yuting were dispatched to patrol dozens of miles away, and there were only a thousand guards left. They quickly gathered together to protect Shan Yuting's people and moved to the north.

However, Tai Shici was leading the army from the north, and the force was unstoppable. Seeing this, the leader of the guard hurriedly changed his path, but no matter which direction he went, he would always see the enemy with fierce faces, and finally had to retreat In the court, and then decided to break out.

The guards changed their direction again, this time to the northwest, with 500 people in the front, 500 people in the back, and Shan Yuting's men were all in the middle, ready to break through.

However, they chose the wrong direction, and it was Ma Chao's soldiers and horses who rushed towards them from the northwest. Zhang Yan roughly expected the direction in which the Xianbei people might escape, so he placed all the elite cavalry in the west, north, and northwest directions. In the three directions, Xu Chu was in the west, Tai Shici was in the north, Ma Chao was in the northwest, Pang De was in the northeast, Wang Shuang was in the southwest, Ma Dai was in the east, Yang Fu was in the southeast, and Zhang Yan was in the south.

The guards who broke out happened to meet Ma Chao who came from the northwest. Ma Chao's subordinates were all elite members of the Ma family army, elite soldiers who had fought many battles.When the two armies met, the guards who broke out of the siege seemed to have bumped into the god of death. After a charge, they could not resist Ma Chao's attack at all. captive.

At the same time, the rest of the ministries were progressing smoothly. Although they also encountered a lot of resistance, they were all small and ungrouped troops. Facing the surprise attack of the army, they were all quickly killed.The people of the Xianbei fled one after another, in a panic.

After a night of fierce fighting, hundreds of thousands of Xianbei people were helpless in the face of Zhang Yan's attack of more than [-] people. The Xianbei camp in Jiluo Mountain was completely destroyed, and about [-] Xianbei corpses were lying in the camp. All the noble members of Yuting were captured. In addition, Zhang Yan and others also captured [-] Xianbei people, [-] horses, and tens of thousands of cattle and sheep. It can be said that they have gained a lot.

At Ping Ming, the patrol teams outside returned one after another. Facing Zhang Yan's army, they did not dare to fight, and finally fled to the northwest.

Zhang Yan didn't stay here for long, and drove the captive population, horses, cattle and sheep back quickly, for fear that the Xianbei people would organize an army later to fight against them.

However, Zhang Yan was worried too much. All the warriors of the Xianbei people went to the area around Jinwei Mountain, and those who remained were old and weak, women and children, and it was impossible to organize a decent army to fight against them.Otherwise, they would not have succeeded so easily last night.Those Xianbei people who escaped by chance all fled to the northwest. In the Yanran Mountain area further north, there is also the habitat they depend on for survival, and there are more than [-] people who stay there.
On the way back, everyone from Zhang Yan down was very happy, and no one was unhappy with the victory of this battle.

But there is only one exception, and that is Pang Tong.

Pang Tong frowned tightly on the way, his face was livid, and he seemed to have something on his mind, but he hesitated to speak.

He walked beside Zhang Yan, wanting to speak several times, but worried about disturbing Zhang Yan's mood.

Zhang Yan walked in front without paying attention to Pang Tong behind him. For him, this victory was very impressive, at least it was worthy of his hard work of traveling thousands of miles.

At this time, Pang Tong finally couldn't bear it anymore, and suddenly said to Zhang Yan: "His Royal Highness King Yan!"

Hearing Pang Tong's voice behind him, Zhang Yan asked, "Shi Yuan, what's the matter?"

Pang Tong said: "Our army attacked the Xianbei people by surprise and gained a lot. I should be happy. However, I have always had a doubt in my heart."

"What doubts?" Zhang Yan asked.

Pang Tong said: "Now that the Xianbei people are fighting against Hu Yanhui's coalition forces in Jinwei Mountain, why doesn't His Royal Highness take advantage of the victory and lead the victorious army to Jinwei Mountain, and join forces with Hu Yanhui's Western Region coalition forces to attack the Xianbei people together? What? In this way, the Xianbei people will be severely injured and their power will be weakened, so they will not be able to threaten the big man in the future."

Zhang Yandao: "Whether it's the Xianbei people or the Huns, their two armies confront each other, and who wins and who loses is closely related to us. I also want to lead the army to continue northward, but our strength is limited, so we can only accept it when we see it. If we want to completely eradicate the threat of the Xianbei people, we can't reach it with our current strength, but this victory can teach the Xianbei people a lesson, let them know that we big men are not easy to mess with, let them be honest with me The purpose of my western expedition this time is to clear up all obstacles on the Silk Road, and the elimination of the Xianbei people is secondary. Therefore, it is not so important to us for the time being who will win or lose between the Western Region coalition forces and the Xianbei people."

After listening to Pang Tong, he asked: "But if the Xianbei people are not eliminated, the frontier troubles cannot be stopped. If the Xianbei people defeat the Western Regions Allied Forces, they will turn around and deal with us in order to avenge Ji Luoshan. His Royal Highness Don't underestimate the power of revenge! If the Allied Forces of the Western Regions defeat the Xianbei people, then Hu Yanhui will lead his army eastward and compete with the Xianbei people for the supremacy of the prairie. In this way, the Xianbei people will have no time to deal with the big man Now, even if there is more hatred, Hu Yanhui wants to occupy the territory they live on, and if they want to drive them away completely, they will definitely deal with Hu Yanhui first, and then come to revenge. The subordinates think that if His Royal Highness King Yan If you don't seize this opportunity in time, once Hu Yanhui's coalition forces are defeated by the Xianbei people, then the Xianbei people will have no competitors on the grassland, and they will do their best to deal with us big men, and there may be continuous side troubles at that time. Now Although our army is small in number, they are all elite divisions. His Royal Highness King Yan only needs to send some troops to reach Jinwei Mountain, get in touch with Hu Yanhui, and tell them that the rear of the Xianbei people has been attacked by our big men, and they will inspire For the fighting spirit of the coalition forces in the Western Regions, let them fight bloody battles with the Xianbei people, and our army does not need to directly participate in the battle."

After Zhang Yan heard Pang Tong's words, he immediately reined in the horse and stopped on the side of the road. After thinking for a while, he felt that what Pang Tong said was not unreasonable.So he turned his head and glanced at Pang Tong, but saw that Pang Tong's eyes were full of hot gazes, which were expectant gazes.

"Shiyuan, if I send you to get in touch with Hu Yanhui and help Hu Yanhui defeat the Xianbei people, would you like to go?" Zhang Yan said suddenly.

After hearing this, Pang Tong clasped his fists decisively and said, "This subordinate is willing to serve you."
