Great Han Empire

Chapter 16 Rising Sun
The leader of the Changlu tribe, Queju, has a famous nickname in Xianbei: Changluzhu.It's not that he is fat, but that his character is as fierce as a wild boar.

Now he was sitting opposite Ke and smiling viciously.Ke lost the most, and lost very badly.He was also a famous general of the Xianbei Kingdom, and made great contributions to the unification of the Xianbei Kingdom.But one of the most failed things in his life was betraying Murong Feng for power and status.You can betray anyone, but you can't betray Murong Feng, the god of war in the hearts of Xianbei people.He was ridiculed by the entire Xianbei tribe.He Lian fulfilled his promise and made him one of the only three frontier officials in the country, Lord Xianbei in Central China.But since then, Xianbei has the most rebel tribes in the central region, accounting for more than half of the entire central tribe.

Now he was finally punished by Murong Feng.Although the Tiger tribe is a large tribe among the Xianbei tribes in central China, it only has [-] soldiers.Now Murong Feng has wiped out eight thousand.Master Xianbei in the central region will not be able to hold the position for a few days, but the most important thing is to keep the tens of thousands of young and old and women of the Tiger Tribe.Once Murong Feng wiped out the Tiger Tribe, all survivors will be slaves of the defeated tribe, and all tribal property will be divided up.The Tiger Tribe has since disappeared from the Xianbei land.

Ke Zui is asking Que Ju to lend a helping hand.Of course Que Ju agreed, they are relatives.But dear brothers, you must settle accounts clearly, and you must negotiate a good remuneration.The remuneration is very expensive, and Ke is the most unacceptable.Facing Que Ju's ugly face, he yelled like crazy: "We in the Tiger Tribe would rather die than accept your hypocrisy."

Que Ju laughed triumphantly.But then the smile froze on his face.Because over the entire Jutun sky, a shrill alarm horn sounded suddenly.When Ke Zui heard this voice, he shuddered involuntarily.

Que Ju looked at Ke Zui coldly, "Do you want revenge? Murong Feng is here."

Iron Wolf Gongsun Hu Duan Song and the other three rode horses and stood on the grass outside Jutun.

Jutun is a small plain. There used to be more than a dozen households from the Tiger Tribe, but now they have all fled to other places.Behind the small plain is a small hill.But when you walk in, you can see that it is 40 meters high and has a radius of two or three miles.Que Ju set up his camp at the foot of the mountain.

At this moment, neat pairs of cavalry ran out from the camp one after another, forming formations on the plain.Various horns sounded from every corner of the camp, indicating that the head of the army was frequently mobilizing the army and issuing instructions one after another.

"Iron Wolf, how do we attack?" Gongsun Hu turned to look at Iron Wolf and asked.

"We can't attack too early, lest we lose more. We can't be too late, we must disrupt the opponent's formation, so that the commander's cavalry can easily defeat them. So..." Iron Wolf looked up at the sky Sun, "Let's rest first."

"The commander-in-chief said that they arrived at about a little later in the afternoon, but he didn't say when they were late. What if they came all at once and we haven't attacked yet?" Gongsun Hu said hesitantly.

Iron Wolf ignored him, and steered his horse away.

"The commander-in-chief said, let us listen to Iron Wolf, we just listen to him." Duan Song smiled from the side.

Gongsun Hu made a grimace at Iron Wolf's back, "This kid has been a slave in Hudu for several years, and his temper is still not good." Then he said to Duan Song, "You don't know, he either scolded or beat Leopard. Yes, he is simply a thug, not like a commander in chief."

At noon, Murong Feng ordered the large army to rest in Yanwei Valley.The soldiers dismounted one after another, each looking for a place to eat, drink water, and feed the horses fodder.Organized, busy but not chaotic.Scouts flew back and forth.Apart from the occasional neighing of war horses and the clashing of weapons as soldiers walked about, there was no other sound in the entire Yanwei Valley.

The atmosphere in the skies over Kutun was very tense.The nameless little bird that flew through the sky from time to time didn't feel it, and still soared freely in mid-air, chirping cheerfully in its mouth, and the partners were entangled with each other, chasing each other and playing.In the dense grass, insects jump and walk through it from time to time.A few colorful butterflies flapped their colorful wings, light and elegant, and swayed on the tip of the green grass.

A big horse mouth suddenly breaks into the world of these colorful butterflies.The colorful butterflies scattered and fled in panic.The grass was immediately drawn into the horse's mouth.

Iron Wolf was riding on a horse, pointing at the enemy formation four hundred paces away, and to Gongsun Hu, Duan Song said, "I can't tell how many hands Queju has left. This kind of defense in depth looks weaker in the middle, but in fact, it's difficult to rebound." The strength is huge. The two wings are well protected and can be defended and attacked. Given the strength of the two armies, this kind of attrition war is really a huge loss."

Gongsun Hu said to Tie Lang, "I don't know whether Que Ju hides the main force on the left or right wing. Why don't I lead a thousand-man army to attack and kill Que Ju's army at the center. If he launches a strong rebound, the main force must join. You are here After confirmation, take the main force to attack it."

"That's the only way. If you don't find Queju's main force and entangle it, you won't be able to guarantee the general's plan of total annihilation. Master Duan led a thousand reserve troops to march in the formation. After discovering which of the enemy's left and right flanks moved to the central army first, Immediately blow the trumpet and tell me. Then I will lead the troops to attack the main force of the enemy army, and you will lead the troops to insert along Gongsun Hu's left and right sides, and continue to attack the central army and block the enemy's auxiliary flanks. Do you understand?"

Duan Song nodded.The three of them rode their horses and ran towards the troops that had already lined up neatly and were about to attack.

"Old Wolf, are the thousand tiger captive soldiers you brought with you placed in the assault team or in the assault team?"

"Of course they are in the assault team. They used to be members of a small tribe. They were reduced to slave soldiers after being wiped out by Ke Zui. Speaking of which, Ke Zui and Que Ju both had deep blood feuds. It is too late to be grateful for giving them this opportunity to take revenge. It turns out It was the soldiers of the Tiger Tribe that I let Goubang take away."

"Elf ghost." Gongsun Hu boasted with a smile.

Seeing the fiery red big eagle on the opposite side galloping out several fast horses one after another, they ran towards the left, right and rear of the team.Ke Zui raised his hand to signal to Que Ju, and blew the bull horn ready to fight.

Compared with Ke Zui, Que Ju's number of battles is very pitiful.But lack of experience in battle does not mean that he can't fight and won't use his advantage to win the battle.Ke Zui was defeated and fled to Queju's camp alone, and Queju warmly received him and comforted him in every possible way.He needs Ke Zui's combat experience, but also Ke Zui's tribe.Ke felt ashamed to go home, so he had to give it a go. If he helped Que Ju defeat Murong Feng, he would have some credit.If the king is merciful, it may not be possible to keep Hudu, the home of the Tiger tribe, as a place to live.

It has been two hours since the Changlu tribe's soldiers set off for the battlefield at noon.Under the September sun, the soldiers were sweating from the sun, cursing the leader viciously all the time in their hearts.But no one dared to move.Murong Feng's attack made Ke Zui remember military discipline deeply.Without strict military discipline, the only thing waiting for soldiers is death.A few soldiers try to offend them.As soon as he got off the horse, Ke Zui sent someone to kill him.

No one is allowed to move.

Hearing the sound of the enemy's trumpets, the soldiers' long-suppressed sulk finally burst out.

"Hoo hoo..., hoo hoo..., hoo hoo..."

Like a burst of thunder, it hit the open field heavily.The war horses under the roaring soldiers became restless one by one, or raised their heads and neighed, kicked their legs and growled, or shook their heads.The little bird flying in the air was frightened, and fled in all directions with a huff, without a trace in a blink of an eye.

Iron Wolf didn't seem to hear the roar of the soldiers of the Changlu tribe, and was still deploying troops step by step.The soldiers gradually arranged their formation according to the arrangement of the sound of the horn.Gongsun Hu led a thousand of the most powerful soldiers to the forefront.Iron Wolf is in the middle.Duan Song brought Murong Feng's banner and held the ground with a thousand soldiers.

The horn of progress finally sounded in anticipation.Murong Feng's army began to move slowly, and the speed gradually increased, and the sound of horseshoes gradually became denser from sparse.

Ke Zui quickly conveyed the instructions one by one.The messengers scattered away like birds in a cage whose windows were suddenly opened.The horn soldiers following Ke Zui immediately blew out the latest instructions in turn.

"The spearmen stepped forward, ready to intercept."

"Archers centered, ready to shoot."

"Order the cavalry of the Chinese army, prepare to block."

"Order the left and right wings and prepare to cover the central army with bows and arrows."

The Changlu tribe's army began to adjust nervously and orderly under the command of the horn.

The distance between the two sides is 420 steps (about [-] meters now).Duan Song's rear army stopped advancing.

Iron Wolf held up his saber and roared loudly, "Flying geese. Speed ​​up!" The sound of the loud horn stood out amidst the sound of horseshoes.

The galloping speed of the war horse suddenly accelerated.The dense sound of horseshoes immediately turned into a roar, and then it was like thunder, shaking the entire battlefield.

The huge team of 4000 people suddenly changed from Gongsun Hu to the head of the wild goose, and the adult characters quickly changed while running at high speed.The wild goose's head is getting longer and sharper.Looking from a distance, it looks like a sharp sword with a murderous look, ready to devour people at any time.But the thick bottom is like the hammer head of a hammer. It feels that as long as someone picks up the hammer handle, he will roar down like a tiger descending the mountain, smashing anything.

Ke Zui showed pain on his face as if he had been stabbed by this sharp sword.

He originally thought that Murong Feng would use a thousand troops to make a tentative attack, so he only ordered the Chinese army to press with all their strength.Now it seems he was wrong again.Murong Feng's four thousand troops pressed up together.Murong Feng's geese formation is specially used to tear through the enemy's defenses.Its goose head will drill into the enemy's heart inch by inch like a tenon until the enemy collapses.

He pulled out his saber vigorously, and roared with all his strength: "The left wing moves closer to the Chinese army, the right wing covers, the Chinese army strikes, and advance at full speed!"

He kicked the horse's belly hard, and the horse suffered pain and shot out like an arrow.The 1000 members of the Chinese army immediately wrapped him into the team and drowned him in the raging torrent.

Que Ju stood on the hill overlooking the entire battlefield.Seeing that Ke took the lead and killed him most desperately, he couldn't help but sighed regretfully, and said to a thin and big man standing beside him: "Ke is the craziest."

"He has no dignity, no power, no tribe, and only the last bit of courage left. If you die, you can die. Death on the battlefield is a worthy death."
