Guda saw the danger of the current situation and did not want to take risks.
He felt that the strength of the Han army's cavalry was a bit unexpected. Perhaps the best thing to do at this time was to consider how to retreat rather than engage in a full-scale decisive battle with them.
In this situation, it was obvious that the Xianbei side was at a disadvantage.
But thinking of the fate of the unlucky man before, Guda did not dare to disobey Zhijianluoluo's order, so he could only bite the bullet and lead his troops forward.
"Behead one Han soldier and reward three sheep! Kill one Han general and reward three horses!"
In order to boost morale, Guda decided to use the strategy of generous rewards. As the saying goes, there must be brave men under heavy rewards. Guda believed that his generous rewards would definitely boost morale.
Indeed, large rewards can boost morale, but the absolute gap in strength is difficult to make up for.
The counterattack of Guda's group had not yet taken shape. Xu Huang's Han cavalry had already rushed in front of them. Xu Huang came from the side and penetrated directly into the flank of Guda's group. Guda's group was caught off guard and was attacked by Xu Huang. The troops were killed so many that they fell on their backs.
Guda tried to stop Xu Huang's attack and personally led his men to counterattack Xu Huang. As a result, the huge gap between the equipment of the Xianbei cavalry and the Han army was reflected. One by one, they were chopped off their horses, like ice hitting rocks. In an instant It was smashed to pieces.
Xu Huang, who really wanted to make a meritorious deed, saw a burly man not far away whose attire was obviously different from the others. He roared and rushed over with his spear pointed out. The cavalry guards opened the way for him. He moved forward bravely and stabbed the panicked big man off his horse with a spear.
Gu Da was stabbed to death by Xu Huang with a spear.
Zhijianluoluo never expected that Guda would be penetrated by the Han army before he could hold on for long, and the counterattack failed. At this moment, no matter how reluctant Zhijianluoluo was to admit it, he also realized that he might not be The opponent of this Han army cavalry.
Damn it, when did the Han army become so capable?
How did Tan Shihuai defeat such fierce tens of thousands of Han cavalry back then?
Despite this, Zhi Jian Luo Luo gritted his teeth and invested the most elite cavalry around him in an attempt to reverse the situation of the battle.
He cannot accept his failure.
Once it fails, everything is lost.
He still wanted to persist, but the Han army was too brave.
When he watched the army he had thrown in disappearing like a piece of urine into a river, his confidence collapsed. Seeing the Han cavalry coming like a tide, he panicked and was dominated by the desire to survive. his brain.
He didn't have time to think, turned around and fled on horseback, not caring about the lives of the Xianbei cavalry behind him who were still fighting hard.
Needless to say, there is no need to talk about the subsequent battle situation.
The Han army had a superiority in numbers and equipment. When they swarmed forward, the morale of the Xianbei people collapsed. They fled en masse and galloped desperately. Their riding skills were not used in fighting, but in escaping for their lives.
But Liu Bei was determined to make these bastards pay the price. He would not let them go and ordered them to be chased and beaten fiercely.
Liu Bei himself led his army in pursuit for more than half a day, changing three horses, chasing and killing all the way, and finally caught up with the burly man in extraordinary clothes, Zhijian Luoluo.
Leading Zhao, he chased at the front, and shot Zhi Jian Luo Luo off his horse with one arrow. When he got closer, he saw that this guy was still staring and breathing, and he was overjoyed. He was about to hit him with a knife, but when he saw Liu Bei coming over, after thinking about it, he decided to do this He told Liu Bei about the incident, and then handed his spear to Liu Bei.
"Won't you kill him yourself?"
Liu Bei looked at Qian Zhao with a smile.
Qianzhao also smiled and winked at Liu Bei.
"How can the reward I get for killing him be greater than the reward you get for killing him?"
Liu Bei looked at Qianzhao for a few times, then punched him in the chest with a smile.
"Good boy, you know how to please your superiors, you have a bright future!"
Qianzhao, who had obviously grown up, smiled even more happily.
With that said, Liu Bei rode forward and came to Zhi Jianluo Luo, who was lying on the ground, staring and gasping for breath. He looked down at the dying man, sneered, and pierced his eyes with a spear.
To such a defeated enemy, there is no need to say a word, just kill him.
Qianzhao immediately dismounted, drew out his Huanshou knife, cut off Zhijianluoluo's fat head, and handed it to Liu Bei.
Liu Bei held Zhijian Luoluo's head, which was still dripping with blood, high.
The soldiers who followed him in pursuit cheered loudly, praising Liu Bei's illustrious martial arts and glorious victory.
One day later, Liu Bei's army wiped out a few Xianbei cavalry who were scattered and looting in Jiuquan County. After sorting out the proceeds, they got about 20,000 good horses, and about 10,000 injured and dead horses.
The Xianbei people obtained more than 50,000 cattle and sheep as rations for the army, and the rest of the property they robbed also became the spoils of war for the Han army.
More than 5,000 men, women, and children who were captured by them and prepared to be used as slaves were also rescued by the Han army.
Pang De and Xu Huang made the greatest contribution in this battle and were praised by Liu Bei.
It is also worth mentioning that Cao Chun, a spirited young man who is currently serving as a junior officer under Xu Huang, was lucky enough to stab Guda's lieutenant to death with a spear and cut off his head, thus making a great contribution.
I have to say that the spirited young man is indeed quite capable.
In addition, there are many people who have made great military exploits.
Cao Chun's brother Cao Ren was unstoppable. He galloped on his horse, thrust out his spear, and stabbed to death Seduluo, a trusted general under Zhi Jian Luo Luo's command.
Not to be outdone, the brave general Cheng Pu led his troops to attack Zhi Jian Luo Luo's central army, almost breaking through the defense, and also hacked to death another fierce general under Z Jian Luo Luo's command for protection.
A village commander named Yan Xing performed well in the battle. In addition to killing a Xianbei general, he also captured another Xianbei general alive.
A military lord named Ma Teng performed outstandingly in the battle. He killed a Xianbei general and captured a flag used by Zhi Jian Luo Luo, which was majestic.
After the war, Liu Bei summoned these officers who had made military achievements and encouraged them face to face.
This was also the first time Liu Bei saw Yan Xing and Ma Teng.
Yan Xing's appearance is not outstanding, but he is tall and strong. At first glance, he is a fierce general.
Ma Teng is not as tall as Yan Xing, but he has a handsome appearance, a loud voice, and a strong body. He looks quite extraordinary.
Liu Bei was very happy, so he promoted the two of them to Army Sima. The two were overjoyed and thanked Liu Bei.
Subsequently, Liu Bei ordered the dead and injured horses to be disposed of according to the previous model, in order to increase the rations that the Han army could use for subsequent expeditions.
As for the more than 6,000 captured Xianbei cavalry, Liu Bei originally wanted to kill them all and use them to build a temple in Beijing to intimidate Xianbei, but Jia Xu dissuaded Liu Bei and made a suggestion.
"There are enough heads used to build the Jingguan. There are more than 10,000 heads now. There is not much meaning in continuing to kill. It is better to use these people as coolies. They are more useful alive than dead."
Liu Bei thought about it and felt that Jia Xu's suggestion made sense.
In order to promote agricultural production and cooperate with the construction of collective farms, Liangzhou currently has dozens of water conservancy project plans to be completed.
But most people are engaged in agricultural production and industrial production. He heard that the manpower available for mobilization in the state capital is very tight. Agricultural production requires a lot of manpower, and there is quite a labor shortage.
Therefore, instead of killing these people and giving them a happy life, it is better to let these people work as coolies and let them work until they die, which can reduce the burden of corvee for the people of Liangzhou, which can be regarded as making the best use of everything.
So Liu Bei accepted Jia Xu's suggestion.
He ordered more than 6,000 captured Xianbei men to be escorted back to Hanyang County. From Hanyang County, they began to work as coolies, repairing water conservancy projects, and made them work until they died, squeezing out their last remaining value.
Perhaps the light from the civilized world should also shine on the Xianbei people.
