Chapter 61: The Rise of Liu Bei


How could the Hun Huqi, who was dismounted and fighting, be the opponent of the black armored iron guards, the swordsmen and the heavy infantry with swords and shields?

Rows of Mo Dao, javelins used as short spears, thrust out from behind the horses, cutting open or piercing the bodies of the Huns.

Cold arrows were still fired from time to time from every corner, causing continuous casualties to the Huns.

Some brave Xiongnu warriors crossed the Juma, but were quickly killed by the black armored iron guards.

In the eyes of the Xuanjia Iron Guard, these Huns who were not on horseback were just meat on the chopping board, cutting them one by one without even a chance to fight back.

Seeing that something was wrong with the situation, Yuvrou was already beginning to wonder if this was a trap.

He decisively ordered: "Retreat quickly, we can no longer do this kind of unnecessary consumption."

The order was quickly conveyed to all ministries by fast horses.

After the Huns cavalry mounted their horses, they withdrew from the earth city with a roar.

There are also 7,000 iron cavalry stationed outside the city to guard the perimeter, as well as thousands of oxcarts preparing to transport the loot.

Humphrey was still unwilling to give up this operation now.

Launching this raid had consumed a lot of manpower and material resources from his tribe, and he had damaged at least two thousand cavalry so far.

He didn't want to pay this loss in vain.

Just when he was racking his brains to think of how to get the hard bone in front of him, a scout riding a Pegasus came to report: "Report to the Great Chanyu, a large group of cavalry from Lu Bu's army is galloping towards us from the north.

When I found out, It’s only ten miles away and probably less than five miles away now.”

Yufro's heart trembled.

He knew very well how powerful Lu Bu's Guaizi Ma and Iron Buddha were.

But he still maintained a calm expression and said: "Send my military order and the entire army will withdraw along the same route."

Humphrey's army began to withdraw to the northwest.

Now Humphrey could only pray to the immortal sky to protect Lu Bu's cavalry from turning around and intercepting them to the west.

If Lu Bu bit him, he would definitely not be able to escape unscathed, and at least the thousand-plus ox carts would be lost.

However, as soon as Humphrey retreated, more than a dozen mounted scouts sped out from the Tucheng and followed him from a distance.

There were two more cavalry heading towards the direction of the reinforcements.

The Ten Thousand Horses and Tigers and Horses who came to the rescue were commanded by Zhang Liao himself.

After receiving the letter from the carrier pigeon, they immediately set off from nearby Gaoping and galloped for nearly an hour, covering more than 40 miles.

In order to speed up, Zhang Liao ordered the kidnapping horse to go ahead, and the speed was faster.

The slow Iron Buddha followed behind.

After Zhang Liao received the report from the scouts in Tucheng, Mashi, he quickly changed direction and rushed towards Yu Fuluo's path.

In the end, the seven thousand kidnapper horses finally encountered Huvroud's large group of troops.

At this time, Yuvroud could only bite the bullet.

The battle soon began in full swing.

The cavalry from both sides began to attack each other, with horses roaring and neighing, and arrows flying back and forth.

Dust billows from the battlefield.

Zhang Liao brandished his sword and joined the battle group in person.

Generals Xia Houyuan and Yan Liang also mobilized their horses and led their subordinates to attack the Huns.

A Hu general swung his sword at Zhang Liao, but Zhang Liao blocked it with his sword pole.

He slashed horizontally and cut Zhang Liao in half.

His body was broken into two pieces and fell off his horse.

At this time, a Hun cavalry quietly rode up behind Zhang Liao, raised his saber and slashed at Zhang Liao's back.

A cold light passed by, and the Hun cavalry's head fell to the ground.

The owner of this knife is Yan Liang.

But Xia Houyuan stabbed randomly with his spear, stabbing and killing the Huns cavalry one after another.

Soon the three of them were covered in blood-stained shirts, and they killed not one hundred but fifty Huns.

At this time, the rumble of horse hooves came from the east again.

Humphrey, who was still watching the battle from behind, put his hands on the pergola and squinted his eyes, complaining in his heart.

It was the Tiefutu who had just arrived.

After three thousand iron pagodas were put into the battlefield, the situation immediately became clear.

It didn't take long for the Huns' cavalry to collapse.

The remaining more than 4,000 Huns fled in all directions like a flood after a dam broke.

Before that, Yuvluo had already started to escape, but Zhang Liao caught up with him, slapped his horse under the horse with a knife, and captured him alive.

The Huns and Hu cavalry who fled the Kaizi cavalry still pursued them closely, inflicting maximum damage on them.

The thousands of oxcarts and tribal slaves still left on the battlefield were captured by Zhang Liao.

When the sun was about to set below the horizon, the battle was completely over.

There were corpses everywhere on the battlefield.

The war horse that lost its owner could finally take a rest, ran to the side, and quietly gnawed on the vegetation on the ground that had not completely withered.

Zhang Liao's Huben cavalry also suffered heavy casualties in this battle, but for the Southern Huns, this battle was fatal.

Almost all the main force was annihilated, the great Chanyu was captured alive, and nearly 10,000 horses and thousands of cattle were lost.

There were five to six thousand slaves.

A week later, Zhang Liao escorted Fuluo back to Chang'an, and the remaining tribes of the Southern Huns surrendered again.

Lu Bu put all the high-ranking Xiongnu nobles under house arrest in Chang'an, and then dispersed most of the remaining tribal civilians and slaves and distributed them to various counties to cultivate and make a living.

Only a small number of them were mixed with the county soldiers from the border counties and continued to camp and graze in the Hetao area to provide military horses for Lu Bu's army.

At this point, the Southern Xiongnu rebellion in the Hetao area was completely put down.

The Huben Cavalry Division rested in Chang'an for two months.

After being replenished, they were transferred by Lu Bu to Dingxiang County, where General Ma Chao Pangde had been fighting with the Xianbei tribe for a long time.

Although they won more than they lost, Ma Chao's army, which lacked cavalry, also relied on Wubao and relied on mobile defense as its main method of annihilating the enemy.

Therefore, although it caused considerable losses to Xianbei's Kebi Neng Department, it was unable to cause a fatal blow to it.

In the early summer of the ninth year of Jian'an, the momentum of Cao's army's southern expedition was finally curbed.

Zhou Yu, on the orders of Sun Quan, led 30,000 Dongwu elite troops to garrison in Chibi, upstream of Xiakou.

The vanguard navy of Cao's army advancing eastward was defeated in the first battle with Zhou Yu on the river, and had to retreat to Wulin on the north bank of the upper reaches.

The two armies faced each other across the river for more than a month.

Liu Bei, who had 20,000 soldiers, finally sent 2,000 soldiers to assist Zhou Yu, and they were not under Zhou Yu's control.

Small-scale battles broke out between the Cao and Wu armies on the river many times, and the Soochow army won each time.

At this time, Cao Cao faced a bigger problem than the navy's inferior skills.

That is, the northern soldiers of Cao's army were not accustomed to the climate.

In the forest, more and more soldiers of Cao's army began to fall ill.

In autumn, these acclimatization turned into epidemics, and the entire battalion of Cao's soldiers was plagued by diseases.

Zhou Yu, who obtained this information through detailed operations, immediately launched a general offensive.

In order to allow Huang Gai, who was serving as a forward, to successfully attack Cao Jun's water camp, he also asked Huang Gai to feign surrender to Cao Cao.

Filled with kerosene, gunpowder, dry firewood, straw and other flammable materials, the fighting ship pretended to be a surrender ship and approached Cao Jun's water camp.

Then under the command of Huang Gai, regardless of Cao Jun's warning, he rushed towards Cao Jun's fleet docked in Wulin Port with arrows and flying rocks.

Fire quickly broke out in the port.

Zhou Yu's main force following behind landed and launched an assault on Cao's army camp in Wulin.

The demoralized 100,000-strong Wulin Cao army was soon completely defeated, and Cao Cao was forced to retreat to Xiangyang.

Then Zhou Yu's army began to sweep Cao's camp garrisons around Wulin.

The leaderless Cao army was defeated like a mountain, and the army of hundreds of thousands fell apart.

This is the famous Battle of Chibi.

There is only one biggest winner in this battle, Liu Bei and Liu Xuande.

After the war, he quickly took over the remaining four counties of Southern Jingzhou.

While the Battle of Chibi was going on, in the far north, Dingxiang County was merged with the state.

Ma Chao, who was reinforced by the Huben Cavalry Division, finally seized an opportunity, defeated the main force of Kebineng's army, and captured the heads of Kebineng and his brothers.

The remnants of Kebineng fled eastward and were no longer able to harass Bingzhou.

A new world structure finally began to take shape
