At the same time, 10,000 elite soldiers led by Ni Luoyan were quickly pursuing Xue Wanche, who was responsible for luring the enemy. Ten thousand elite Tuyuhun soldiers led by Ni Luoyan were running towards the village step by step.
The good relationship between the Ni family and the Murong family began in the Han Dynasty and in Xianbei, Liaodong.
Mo Huba, the founding chief of Murong, Xianbei, followed his mother Qiu Jian and Sima Yi to attack the Gongsun family in Liaodong. Because of his meritorious service in the battle, he was named the King of Yi and was allowed to establish his country north of Jicheng (now Yixian County, Liao Province). Mo Huba saw that "the Yan Dynasty had many crowns, and they shook their crowns every step of the way", so he "pulled back his hair and attacked the crowns." Because "Buyao" and "Murong" have similar sounds, this Xianbei people simply adopted "Murong" as the name of their tribe and family.
Mo Huba was followed by Murong Muyan, and Murong Muyan was followed by Murong Shegui. Murong Shegui was named the Great Chanyu because he helped the Western Jin Dynasty fight. After Murong Shegui died in 283 AD, his younger brother Murong Nai usurped power and almost killed his successor nephew Murong Gui. However, Murong Gui was also a heroic leader. He succeeded his eldest brother Murong Tuyuhun. With the support of the people, the rebellion was put down. However, after Murong Gui secured his position, the two heroic brothers could no longer get along well with each other.
The official conflict between Murong Gui and Murong Tuyuhun was neither about money nor people and power, but about horses. The two horses bit and fought, causing Murong Gui's horse to be injured. Therefore, the aggrieved eldest brother of Murong Gui, the chief, said, "My ancestors were separated from each other, but why didn't they stay away from each other and let the horses fight?" This means that his father The family property has been divided, why can't you stay away? Why do they have to be close together, why do they have to fight with each other?
Murong Tuyuhun understood that there was something behind his words. He knew that Murong Gui was jealous of him, and hoped that he would stay away from him. He simply said, "A horse is an animal with ears. It is natural to fight. Why should you be angry at others? It's easy to be obedient. You should go away." It's thousands of miles away." Murong Tuyuhun kept his promise and took his troops and livestock that day to "move eighty miles a day."
A few days after his eldest brother ran away, Murong Gui regretted it and sent his uncle and Chang Shi Yinalou to lead people to chase him. However, Murong Tuyuhun understood that this kind of resentment would be difficult to resolve once it existed. If he went back this time, he would be in trouble in the future. He would definitely explode for various reasons, so he declined his uncle's offer to stay.
Moreover, Murong Tuyuhun was extremely stubborn. No matter how big and fertile the pastures he encountered on the way, as soon as he heard that he was not far away from his younger brother, he would continue to migrate until he reached the shore of the West Sea Lake. I heard that it was far more than ten thousand miles away. That’s where it stopped. But this has always been the activity territory of the Qiang and Di people in the northwest. Therefore, if the foreigner Murong Tuyuhun wanted to gain a foothold here, he could only use his sword to clear the way and carve out a large territory for himself.
During Murong Tuyuhun's long migration, many of Murong Tuyuhun's old subordinates left, but the Nishi ancestors pursued them to the end. Murong Tuyuhun naturally did not treat the Ni family badly and made it the second largest family.
Since then, the two families have been helping each other, communicating with each other, and marrying each other for generations to make the two families indistinguishable. Niluoyan's wife was a woman from the Murong royal family. He knew that this battle was related to Tuyuhun's life and death. As soon as he heard that the Sui army sneaking into the country had been exposed, he came to pursue it with an absolute advantage in strength. As long as he could kill this After the Sui Dynasty's extraordinary troops were wiped out, he and Murong Yong would be free to do more things. ....However, the Sui army in front was extremely hateful and kept running in circles with them. The two "big camps" that the scouts thought were fake. Moreover, they had been chasing forty or fifty miles from the camp since the morning, which made the whole army extremely angry and hated the hateful Sui army.
Niloyan was also furious at the enemy's cat-and-mouse game. He didn't believe that the Sui army could keep escaping like this. He waved his riding whip and shouted: "Warriors, they can't run for long, they can only run towards The main force is approaching, we must annihilate them all today, otherwise they will harm other armies."
"Da da da..." One of them rode two horses, and the spectacular scene of thousands of horses galloping shook the earth.
Niloyan led his soldiers to the edge of the formation in order to get the news of the Sui army from the scouts in time. Suddenly three blood-covered cavalry rushed from the side and the front. It was the scouts he sent out. They They encountered the Sui soldiers led by Zong Luohu, and most of them were hunted down, leaving only three of them to escape.
The cavalry on horseback reported loudly: "General, we have discovered the real camp of the Sui army. They are in a village more than ten miles ahead. Now there are 500 cavalry running towards us. It seems that they are here to respond. This Sui army.”
Niloyan was overjoyed and said loudly: "Warriors, the enemy who wants to destroy our home is right in front. Warriors, we are the masters here. Now the hateful Sui army has come to trample on our home. What do you think we should do?"
"kill!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
Scattered voices shouting for kill soon converged into one earth-shattering voice.
"Take out your bows and arrows and swords and let the enemy know that we are the best archers and warriors in Tuyuhun." Niloyan raised his short bow high and led the crowd forward.
Scouts kept coming to join them on the way, and as the previous scouts said, the Sui army's home base was in the village ahead, with a total strength of only two to three thousand people.
Niloyan's eyes revealed an excited smile.
In this battle, the Sui army will be destroyed.
Even the gods cannot save them.
About seven or eight miles further on, a group of Sui soldiers numbering several hundred were waiting in front. The Sui soldiers who had been running for their lives slowed down, walked westward on the side road, ran behind the army in front, changed to the empty horses left, and then became the rear army.
But the two together only amounted to about a thousand people; compared to the tens of thousands of Tuyuhun cavalry, which was so powerful, it was really pitiful. As the soldiers from both sides got closer and closer, they appeared in each other's field of vision bit by bit.
Facing this Sui army, Niluoyan slowly slowed down his horse with a look of doubt in his eyes, but he was more alert.
Yang Ji had already told them the power of the Sui Dynasty with his strength, and Yang Ji's power was also well known to everyone in Tuyuhun. Even though he was confident of victory now, facing this army, he defeated two of their armies in one day. The soldiers and horses of Liangzhou did not dare to be careless at all.
"Never mind!" Ni Luoyan wiped the snowflakes from his face. The snowflakes blowing in front of him made him squint his eyes, and thought to himself: "Even if they have a huge conspiracy, their military disadvantage is still there. There, as long as our troops don't get close for the time being, what can they do to me? However, the opponent's lineup is very loose. Could it be that they are prepared for our cavalry and archery? So they put together a strange formation. Although the idea is good, they just want to deal with my Tuyuhun warriors. The art of riding and shooting. That’s a bit too naive.”… Thinking of this, he played the bone flute on his neck and used the flute sound to direct the soldiers to fight.
As the bone flute sounded one after another, the three thousand-man troops, under the vigilance of Niloyan's bodyguard army, all put on spare auxiliary horses, then bypassed the front army, missing the formation with one front, facing Facing the Sui army on the opposite side.
As long as the soldiers on the front make a breakthrough or engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Sui army, the two wings will surround them and jointly encircle and annihilate the Sui army.
The cavalry arranged their lineups, took out their bows in unison, put the arrows in their mouths, and prepared for the first wave of shooting. The Sui cavalry on the opposite side gave up the speed advantage of the cavalry and advanced slowly step by step, seemingly preparing to engage in a bow and arrow battle with them.
Niloyan was completely relieved when he saw this. He suddenly played the bone flute, causing the cavalry soldiers in front to speed up and get closer and closer to each other.
Four hundred steps!
Three hundred steps!
Two hundred steps!
One hundred and ninety steps!
…
Close!
Looking at the motionless Sui soldiers, Niloyan's eyes flashed with blazing light.
From the founding of Tuyuhun to the present, more than 90% of the time of the Central Plains Dynasty has been in civil war. The war also caused many outstanding craftsmen in Liangzhou and Yongzhou to flee to Tuyuhun for refuge. The technology they brought allowed the development of Tuyuhun's weapons and equipment. . Today, the sharpest and longest-range crossbow in Tuyuhun is the bed crossbow that was unique to the Central Plains. The effective range of the cavalry bow used by the cavalry is about 120 steps. The range is shorter than the infantry's infantry bow, but the range of the bow is about 120 steps. The arm strength is relatively small, which also greatly increases the continuous shooting ability.
When the distance between the two sides reached about 130 steps, Niluoyan suddenly discovered that the Sui soldiers had taken out their well-strung crossbows.
Since the Qin Dynasty, the range of strong crossbows has been superior to that of bows and arrows. With the development of science and technology, the advantages of crossbows in battle have become more and more obvious. Li Ling of the Han Dynasty relied on the Han Dynasty's large yellow crossbow to defeat an enemy with a force of five thousand. The 100,000 Huns army even killed and wounded tens of thousands. Daxi Changru and Li Chong of the Sui Dynasty also used this method to kill countless enemies. In the end, no arrows were lost, and they were forced to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Turkic army.
Up to now, in the battles of the Sui army, crossbowmen have always been listed in the first battle order. When they are three hundred steps away from the enemy, they use fuyuan crossbows to shoot, and when they are closer, they use Zhangzhang crossbows with a shorter range. No matter how close you are, the horned crossbow will shoot, and within a hundred steps, the archers will shoot. These ruthless guys were attacked in one go on the battlefield, which was an all-round bombing.
"No!" He blurted out, and ordered with a chilling voice: "Disperse, disperse quickly!" But it was too late, only to see crossbow arrows flying through the air, and arrows flying across the sky were missing like locusts, and the air raids Come.
In an instant, hundreds of soldiers screamed and fell down in the Tuyuhun cavalry formation directly in front of the Sui army, making the middle of the cavalry formation instantly empty.
Niluoyan felt distressed, but was pleasantly surprised to find that the casualties were far less severe than he had imagined. After pondering for a moment, he realized that the Sui soldiers were not using the terrifying Fuyuan Crossbow, but a weapon that was far less powerful than the Fuyuan Crossbow. Zhang Nu, or horn bow crossbow. He immediately shouted loudly: "This is a single-shot crossbow, not very powerful. The front army speeds up and outflanks it."
He gave the order, and the Tuyuhun army immediately obeyed the order. However, the Sui army facing them turned their horses and retreated at a faster speed. Moreover, the soldiers of the Sui army cooperated with each other tacitly, and the two armies in front and behind each formed a combat system. The first echelon fired a wave of arrows, and the line was divided into two. They retreated in a roundabout way and formed a formation behind the rear army. In order to facilitate their escape , making the two armies look back to back. The rear army fired a wave of arrows and missed, and dispersed and formed again like the front army. ....At this time, both armies assumed the correct escape posture, with their horses' buttocks facing the Tuyuhun cavalry.
When the three thousand-man troops from Tuyuhun joined together, they were surrounded by a lonely man! In the process, the other side alternated several times, and the crossbow arrows were fired one after another, and they easily took away more than 500 of their soldiers.
When the Tuyuhun soldiers continued to pursue, the Sui soldiers never stopped. As they retreated, they skillfully drew their bows and loaded arrows on horseback, then twisted around, pulled the trigger, and fired the arrows.
The Sui army was small in number, but their riding skills were very good, and the range of their crossbows was far beyond them. It was these dozens of steps of range advantage that covered up all their shortcomings. They couldn't even kill a single Sui soldier, but the Sui soldiers killed more than 500 of their soldiers.
Ni Luoyan was shocked and angry. The Sui army actually used the same tactics as theirs. He had the urge to scream to the sky, vomit blood and scream. He knew the power of this tactic very well. Because of the distance, The advantage puts the beaten party in a passive situation forever.
However, his army pursued them for nearly two miles. After all, he forced the Sui army to unite into one army, and his army also broadened its appearance. As a result, the casualties caused by the Sui army gradually decreased, so he became angry. Then he ordered: "The front army will continue to pursue them, and send two more thousand-man troops to speed up, outflank them from the left and right, and shoot them to death."
"Quickly withdraw to the camp." Seeing that the enemy had changed their tactics, Zong Luohu had no choice but to give up this kite tactic. After all, the gap in military strength was there, and the installation of crossbow arrows was complicated and not as direct as that of bows and arrows. At this time, the enemy army finally closed the distance. If this continues, they will definitely not be able to escape the fate of being surrounded and annihilated.
However, this shooting, with seven to eight hundred results, also successfully angered Tuyuhun, which was a good start.
"Pursue the whole army!" Seeing the Sui army's decisive escape, Niluoyan ordered with great joy: "Annihilate them in the village."
