Although the Qiang kings Na Buli and Han Sui were killed, the cavalry under these two men died and surrendered.
After the war, counting and statistics showed that the number of cavalrymen killed by Na Buli, Han Sui and some Qiang tribes reached 8,000 in the battle, more than 13,000 people surrendered, and not too many escaped and disappeared without a trace.
The battle was over, but there was no need to clean up the bodies of the Qiang people.
Under Liu Cheng's order, the army just hurriedly cleaned the battlefield and escorted the prisoners to Longqi City.
The corpses of the Qiang people left behind on the battlefield will not bring any future troubles.
These corpses will be eaten clean by the scavenger vultures on the plateau.
The news that Buli was defeated and killed spread like the wind through the tribes of Xiqiang.
The tribes who originally wanted to send troops to help Buli immediately gave up the plan, and the tribal leaders who had sent troops on the road immediately withdrew with their troops.
After Na Buli's death, no Qiang tribe had the ability and confidence to confront the imperial court, and no tribal leader had the talent and prestige to bring all the tribes together to confront the imperial court.
One day later, Liu Cheng led his army to Longqi City with more than 13,000 Qiang prisoners.
Mo Gui in Longqi City was Na Buli's son.
He had three thousand men.
When he got Na Buli's defeat and died in battle, and Liu Cheng led his army to escort the prisoners, he immediately led all three thousand men out of the city.
Fight to the death with Liu Cheng.
The Qiang people are different from the Huns.
Due to factors such as the geographical environment and harsh climate in which they live, the Huns never consider escape or retreat as a shame.
They act with actual interests first.
Even if they kill their fathers and enemies, as long as it is beneficial to them , they will also give up revenge.
The Qiang people are different.
They have a violent temperament and often engage in large-scale killings and armed fights between tribes over trivial matters.
Mo Gui could not tolerate his father being killed by the imperial court.
When Liu Cheng led his army to escort the prisoners, Mo Gui was already waiting in formation outside the west city gate with 3,000 Qiang cavalry.
Liu Cheng pulled the horse and stopped.
The more than 10,000 troops behind him who had already formed a military formation also stopped advancing.
Behind the military formation, there were more than 10,000 soldiers and horses guarding the prisoners.
Liu Cheng rode on the back of a red rabbit and observed Mo Gui's Qiang cavalry.
They were the same as the Qiang cavalry who stayed with them.
Their formations and equipment were the same, and their spirit and energy were exactly the same.
There are only 3,000 people, so if you are careless, there is a possibility of being overturned by Mo Gui.
Liu Cheng observed for a while and said to Ma Teng: "Brother Shoucheng, should we follow etiquette and send someone to deliver a letter of surrender?"
Ma Teng cupped his fists and said, "Master Sikong is very particular about people.
Sending someone to send a letter to persuade you to surrender can show the majesty and etiquette of our great man.
If you don't send someone to deliver a letter to persuade you to surrender, no one can say anything wrong with you.
These Qiang people have repeatedly They have rebelled repeatedly and have no faith at all.
No matter how the court treats them, they will not be treated too harshly."
Liu Cheng smiled and said: "If a surrender letter can be used to avoid a sword battle, why would I not do it?
Where is Chen Qun?"
Chen Qun rode his horse over and cupped his hands and said, "The students are here."
Liu Cheng ordered: "Your literary talent is good.
You can write a letter of surrender to Mo Gui, the inseparable son, and send it to him."
"yes" A short table was brought over from the baggage team behind, and documents were delivered to the Four Treasures of the Study.
Chen Qun knelt down on the grass and wrote a letter of surrender as quickly as possible.
After writing, he handed it to Liu Cheng for review.
Liu Cheng was deeply satisfied after seeing it, and sent a soldier to gallop away on horseback holding a staff.
Liu Cheng looked at the Qiang army formation opposite and asked the generals around him: "Everyone, how do you think Mo Gui will choose whether to fight to the death with us or surrender?"

Pang De said: "According to the temperament of the Qiang people, the possibility of Mo Gui surrendering is very small.
If he surrenders, no one among the Qiang people will think highly of him.
However, it is not ruled out that he would choose to surrender for the sake of his own wealth and life, and to protect his family." " Yan Xing has lived in Xiliang since he was a child and has a good understanding of the customs and temperament of the Qiang people.
He said: "If we Han people were in this unfavorable situation, we would most likely choose to surrender.
Now they have completely lost their momentum.
We are at a disadvantage and our troops are only With one tenth of us, there is no possibility of victory at all.
As long as Mo Gui has some sense, he will not choose to attack the stone with an egg.
However, they are not Han people, but Qiang people.
They will not act according to the thinking of us Han people, but according to their thinking. way of thinking and acting” Over at the Qiang army formation, Mo Gui took the letter of surrender from the waiter.
He asked a minister next to him to read the content of the letter to him.
After hearing this, he became furious and snatched the letter of surrender and tore it into pieces. , drew out his scimitar and shouted: "Warriors of Xiqiang, we Qiang people have never known fear. , never afraid of death, anyone who wants to enslave and bully us, we will definitely rise up to resist, kill them, and let them shed the last drop of blood.
Two days ago, the Han people killed my father, and now they have killed the dragon again.
Qicheng, the bullying is on top of us, what do you want us to do?"
"Kill, kill, kill"
"Fight, fight, fight" The Qiang army making such a big noise was obviously noticed by the Han army.
Liu Cheng raised his eyebrows and said to the generals around him: "It seems that Mo Gui is unwilling to die until he reaches the Yellow River.
That's fine.
Let's cut him off."
The last arm destroyed his last hope.
Generals, who can take the order to kill Mo Gui on my behalf and defeat his army?"
"The last general is calling for battle."
Except for Ma Teng, almost all the other generals came out and shouted with fists in their hands.
Liu Cheng was very satisfied when he saw all the generals asking for battle.
He said: "We fought with Nabuli two days ago.
You generals should all know the tactics of the Qiang army.
The destructive power of their frontal assault is very powerful."
Yes, the tactics of the light cavalry of the imperial court are mainly based on mounted archery.
They are not very good at close combat, and they are somewhat disadvantaged in terms of weapons, so this battle is mainly dominated by the Xiliang army.
Brother Shoucheng has no objection."
When the generals of the imperial court heard what Liu Cheng said, they were stunned.
Since the Xiliang Army was to be dispatched, the general of the Xiliang Army should of course be the leader.
The generals of the imperial court then retreated to their original positions.
There was nothing wrong with Ma Teng.
Anyway, the Xiliang Army would be reorganized sooner or later, and it was impossible for him to command this army anymore.
So he clasped his fists and said, "What did Lord Sikong say?
Lord Sikong made it very clear.
Based on the current situation, Look, to deal with these Qiang cavalry, only the Xiliang cavalry is suitable.
I don’t know who Master Sikong wants to fight."
Liu Cheng looked at Ma Chao and Pang De and asked: "Meng Qi, Ling Ming, who dares to fight?"
The two men clasped their fists at the same time and said: "The last general is willing to lead people to fight."
Liu Cheng thought for a while and said to Pang De: "Lingming, please give this opportunity to Meng Qi.
Young people should get more experience.
Under the current circumstances, it is impossible for Mo Gui to make a comeback.
Let's use He came to sharpen the young generals and let them use their remaining energy, so that they don’t have to go to waste.
It’s a pity.”

Pang De smiled and clasped his fists and said: "What Master Sikong said is true, then give this opportunity to lead the army to Meng Qi, I will just wait and watch the battle from behind."
Liu Cheng nodded and shouted: "Ma Chao listens to the order and orders you to lead five thousand Xiliang soldiers to fight this time.
You must learn your lesson this time.
Two days ago, you were beaten back by the constant cavalry frontal assault.
You want to withstand the Xiqiang."
The cavalry's assault can only be countered with a tighter formation."
Ma Chao excitedly clasped his fists and agreed: "The last general will take orders."
Liu Cheng named him again: "Yan Xing, Zhang Xiu, you two will be Ma Chao's lieutenants."
The two men came out and said: "As you command" They all understood what Liu Cheng meant.
He wanted them to be Ma Chao's lieutenants because he wanted them to participate in more battles, feel the battlefield atmosphere, and increase combat and command experience.
There was also another meaning.
After all, Ma Chao was too young, only sixteen or seventeen years old.
When fighting, it is inevitable that they will be unable to control their emotions and forget their combat missions.
If this happens, they must remind Ma Chao in time.
The three people quickly made preparations.
The five thousand cavalry were quickly prepared and they selected five thousand people from the Chinese army.
These were all veterans of Ma Teng's men.
They had strong combat effectiveness and strong execution of military orders.
At this time, Mo Gui on the opposite side took the initiative to lead his army to attack.
When Liu Cheng saw it, he sighed: "It seems that Mo Gui is already determined to die."
Next to him, Liu Ye immediately held up his hands and said, "Sir, Mo Hui can't die.
He still led his army to attack even though he knew he would be defeated.
He wanted to use his death to inspire other Qiang people, so that they would share the same hatred and unite to fight against each other.
"The imperial court" Liu Cheng's heart skipped a beat, and he said with a serious face: "Yes, Mo Gui's life and death are small, but if his death is not conducive to our solution to the Xiqiang problem, it will be a loss more than the gain.
Go and tell Ma Chao quickly, it's too late, come here People, beat the drum and attack” "yes" "Dong, dong, dong" the drum sound sounded regularly and became more and more urgent.
When Ma Chao and others heard the sound of the drums, they immediately led their troops and rushed out, and quickly began to accelerate, accelerate, and accelerate again.
After Liu Cheng's reminder, Ma Chaoming's army formed an extremely dense formation this time.
He, Yan Xing, Zhang Xiu and others led the charge at the front of the army.
The rumble of horse hooves resounded on the battlefield, and the high-speed running of a large number of cavalry stirred up grass and dirt all over the sky.
Two black torrents were moving toward each other at high speed, and a huge bang-bang-bang crash was heard, accompanied by countless screams and neighs.
People flipped on their backs, blood splattered, and some people flew off their horses and fell to the ground, drowned by a large number of horse hooves. , some people were stabbed through the chest by spears, some were chopped into two pieces, and some collided with each other.
Both of them fell to the ground together with their horses and were trampled into pulp by the horses behind them.
This is a real head-to-head confrontation between flesh and blood, extremely brutal.
This is a confrontation of courage, courage and willpower.
This is a confrontation between equipment, weapons and war horses.
There is no trickery, but real strength.
After the front rows of both sides collided and fell to the ground, the people in the second row continued to step on the corpses of their companions to confront the enemy, wave after wave, until after seven or eight consecutive waves of confrontation, a large number of corpses piled up between the two sides.
Until then, both sides came to a complete stop.
A large number of troops from both sides rushed into the gap between the other side's military formations.
The military formations were disrupted in this series of confrontations.
They each looked for their opponents to fight each other.
The melee has begun.
There is me among you, and there is you among me
