The east and south of the old city of Xianbei Royal Court are surrounded by Danhan Mountain, and the north and east sides are surrounded by Qiushui, forming a natural barrier, which is also the reason why the male lord of Xianbei chose this place as the royal court.
Of course, the main reason is that it is adjacent to the Han land, and Tanshi Huai refused to accept the title of Xianbei King given by the Han Emperor, in order to raise troops to the south one day and occupy the Central Plains in the south.
At the south gate of the royal court of Danhan Mountain, Gongsun Bai was wearing a snow-white battle robe, with a heavenly sword hanging from his waist, squinting his eyes and looking into the distance, with an anxious look on his face.
Beside him, in addition to Guo Jia, who had a hand-cranked feather fan and a light face, Zhao Yun, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, who had bright armor all over their bodies, stood with weapons in their hands, Yan Liang looked at the surroundings of the Danhan Mountain Royal Court with satisfaction, and secretly admired: "Mr.
Fengxiao is really a strange person, Danhan Mountain City is now impregnable, even if the Xianbei people have the ability to reach the sky, they will not think of crossing the thunder pool for half a step." ” After nearly two months of construction, the original dilapidated Danhan Mountain Royal Court has been strengthened a lot on the original foundation, and the city wall is as high as four zhang high and five zhang wide.
Outside the city of Danhan Mountain, there is no need to clear the wilderness, after hearing the arrival of the Gongsun Bai army, the surrounding Xianbei herdsmen have already fled with the tribe, and the surroundings are empty, only the vast grassland.
The Danhan Mountain Royal Court itself is even more built like an iron wall.
Once the enemy army rushes into the outer city, the defenders of the urn city will inevitably be forced out of the outer city by the defenders of the urn city with ten thousand arrows; Outside the city wall, a sheep and horse wall was built, the wall was three meters high, and the wall gate was staggered with the city wall; Before the sheep and horse wall was a moat five or six meters wide, the water was deep and the river was wide; In front of the moat was a ten-meter-wide array of repulsors; In front of the rejecting horse gun array, there is a trap three or four meters wide and more than two meters deep; Before the trap was a ten-meter antlers.
The urn city, the outer city wall, the sheep and horse wall, the moat, the horse gun array, the horse trap, the antler array, the seven blocking facilities are fully defended.
On the top of the city, in addition to the crossbow arrows on the arrow stacks, there are also bed crossbows and trebuchets, which can attack 200 meters away.
But Guo Jia knew that these were still not enough to stop the attack of more than 200,000 Xianbei troops, and the real first-line blocking place was on the banks of the Qiushui River.
Three or four fortifications were built along the banks of the Qiushui River, and there were enough tens of thousands of people to defend in the fortifications, and within the fortifications, it was Gongsun Bai's armor system that really had to assume the defensive function of the Wanjun Repeater.
Wan Jun repeater, the body size is three or four times larger than the ordinary repeater, and the strength of the crossbow arm is naturally two or three times stronger than the ordinary repeater, which is enough to inflict a deadly attack on the enemy within one hundred and fifty steps, and if it is within a hundred steps, it can reach the attack power of all men and horses.
What's even more terrifying is that the rate of fire of the Wanjun repeater, an ordinary repeater can only shoot ten arrows at a time, while a Wanjun repeater can shoot twenty arrows at a time.
Of course, such a crossbow weighing fifty or sixty catties could not be used for cavalry raids, but could only be used for positional warfare.
Guo Jia pinned the center of gravity of his defense on these Wanjun repeaters.
At this time, it is the autumn dry season, most of the water in the Qiushui River can only overflow the horse's knees, and the deep place can only flood the horse's belly, but if the Xianbei people want to cross the water, the speed will be greatly reduced, under that slow speed, coupled with the terrifying range and rate of fire of the Wanjun crossbow, the Qiushui River will become the burial place of the Xianbei people.
However, at this moment, Gongsun Bai frowned, and his heart was uneasy.
Obviously, the strength of the Xianbei people was far beyond his imagination, and he underestimated the strength of the Xianbei people at the beginning, and in his impression, Kebi could only have 100,000 soldiers and horses at most.
However, according to the pursuit of Zhao Yun and Wen Chou, the soldiers and horses on both sides were above 10,000 people, which means that Kebineng's soldiers and horses are at least more than 200,000, otherwise they will not be able to chase the stragglers and dispatch an army of 20,000 or 30,000, which is more than double the expected. 200,000 cavalry equipped with high bridge saddles and stirrups, what a terrifying cavalry, if the army is raised to the south and crisscross the Central Plains, I am afraid that the Hu rebellion will be hundreds of years earlier than in history.
The stirrup and the high bridge saddle are two sharp weapons, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry is unparalleled, without these two things, the cavalry is only a little stronger than the ordinary infantry, and the Xianbei people's bow and arrow and iron manufacturing is backward, no matter how brave the Xianbei people are, they can only run rampant in the Mobei grassland, occasionally go south to fight the grass valley, and never dare to go deep into the hinterland of the Central Plains.
And with the stirrups and the high bridge saddle, the Xianbei cavalry can ride the battlefield of the city, fight and shoot at will, and the impact of the cavalry on the infantry is deadly.
With the same combat effectiveness, a single charge of cavalry can kill the infantry in an instant, and even trample it directly without fighting.
Success is also stirrups, defeat is also stirrups At this moment, he deeply felt the crisis, and also felt the urgency of eliminating the strength of the Xianbei people, if the strength of the Xianbei people did not continue, the people of the entire Han land would usher in a catastrophe of annihilation.
"The lord doesn't have to worry, Feng Xiao has been ordered by the lord to send several scouts to Wuhuan and Liaodong for help, and the reinforcements should be able to arrive within a month."
Guo Jia beside him comforted.
Gongsun Bai frowned, and said with a worried face: "Ziqin has been back for three days, but there is no movement on Ziyi's side, I am worried that Ziyi and Mo Yunqi will be in danger." ” Zhao Yun hurriedly relieved: "I have sent a scout to report to Ziyi, I think Ziyi should bypass the enemy army in advance, but the war horse that Mo Yun rode is slightly inferior to the white horse Yicong, and the road will be a little slower." ” Boom Suddenly there was a terrible sound of horses chirping from below, followed by a commotion.
Gongsun Bai's face changed, and he shouted urgently: "Go down and have a look." ” Under the city, a group of white horses were in an uproar, surrounding two eight-foot-tall horses, looking very excited.
This is the war horse of the third king of the white horse righteousness The white horse is righteous, the people are on the horse, and the dead horse will run back, and it is obvious that Wang San has already left.
All the white horses have been fighting side by side for many years, and they are like brothers, so they naturally can't help but feel sad.
Just when Gongsun Bai was about to run down the city tower and rush out of the city, two more mournful screams were heard in the distance.
At this moment, the faces of Gongsun Bai, Zhao Yun and the others completely changed.
On the bank of the Qiushui River, five thousand white horses stood solemnly, silently looking at the commander in front.
Riding horses and standing in front of the team was none other than Sun Bai, the Duke of Wei of the Han Dynasty.
As the first ace army of Gongsun Bai, it is not the first time that Bai Ma Yicong has followed Gongsun Bai alone, but this time the difference is that there is no coach Zhao Yun.
The task they were ordered to go out this time was very simple, that is, to rescue Tai Shici and Mo Yunqi who were lost in the Mobei grassland.
Although surrounded by tens of thousands of enemy troops, it may be that Mo Yunqi has already been fierce and unlucky, but as long as there is still a glimmer of hope, Gongsun Bai will not give up.
Don't abandon, don't give up, this is a promise that the lord should have to the tribe, otherwise why let the thousands of brothers under his command go to work for you The river wind hunted, blowing the snow-white robe on Gongsun Bai's body and drumming endlessly, Gongsun Bai's crotch rode the flying blood horse, standing against the wind, with a look on his face like iron.
"Lord, Bai Mayi has always followed the last general for a long time, and it is important here, it is better to let the last general lead the army to help Ziyi, and the lord is here to hold on" Although he had been dissuaded many times, Zhao Yun still couldn't help but make one last effort, although Gongsun Bai's force was enough to be proud of the grassland and was invincible, but he still didn't worry that Gongsun Bai led the army into the grassland alone.
Gongsun Bai shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Whether Danhan Mountain can be defended or not is related to my Gongsun Bai, to your brothers, and even to the safety of the entire Han Dynasty, why don't I want to stick to this place, but the situation of Ziyi and the three thousand Moyun Riding brothers will be a little more dangerous, if I don't go, I'm afraid that many of the Moyun Riding Brothers will be seriously injured and die, so I can only bet on this."
Zhao Yun and the others couldn't argue, so they had to be silent.
Gongsun Bai turned his head leisurely, looked at Zhao Yun, Guo Jia, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and shouted: "I have the No. 1 think tank in the north here, the three most courageous tiger generals in the north here, the sharpest weapons in the world, the most powerful crossbow arrows, and the Qiu Shui and Dan Khan Mountain as barriers, can't I still hold the Xianbei Hulu?"
Zhao Yun and the other four people glanced at each other, and their pride arose, and they said loudly: "We will not disgrace our mission" Gongsun Bai nodded and shouted to the generals: "The matter of marching and fighting is mainly based on General Zhao, supplemented by two generals, Yan and Wen; Advice and advice, to filial piety, you must listen to the advice of filial piety, but also must be sincere unity, full cooperation" "Whoa" Gongsun Bai glanced at the four of them again, and said in a deep voice: "Ten days, at most ten days, I will lead the son back with righteousness" "May the Lord return in triumph" Gongsun Bai took a deep breath and said loudly: "The important place here depends on you."
After speaking, he turned around, and raised the dragon spear in his hand: "Go" The horn sounded, and thousands of white horses followed the purebred sweat and blood horse of the divine horse, crossed the Qiushui River, ran to the opposite bank, and then rolled away, disappearing into the grassland sky.
Woohoo A huge jade belt eagle soared back and forth in the air, and the whole sky was its cry, which seemed so loud and cheerful, and Wuliji, who returned to the grassland, looked particularly excited.

Sometimes he flew to the first two or three miles, and sometimes he flew back to hover on the heads of Liu Xie and others, and let out a chirp from time to time.
Behind it, thousands of horses galloped in the vast blue waves, and in this early autumn, although the weather has turned cold, the grass is luxuriant, and the horses galloping on the grassland seem to be particularly brisk.
Gongsun Bai was dressed in military uniform, holding a dragon spear in his hand, riding a bloody horse of a divine horse, and his whole body was murderous, like a god of war.
Behind him was the White Horse Servant, the fastest and most elite horseman in the world.
Everyone worked hard all the way, traveling hundreds of miles a day, and half a month had passed, and there was no news of Tai Shi Ci and Zhong Mo Yunqi, of course, the faster the march, the better, and if they could find them a day in advance, their chances of being killed would be one less point.
Oh Several chirps came from the sky, as if it were the voice of Uliji.
Gongsun Bai's face changed slightly, and he shouted: "Array, meet the enemy" After looking aimlessly for a few days, suddenly encountering a battle, all the soldiers were in high spirits, shouted in response, and followed Gongsun Bai to gallop forward.
There is still one more to be continued at 7 p.m
