Five stars come out of the East, benefiting China!
This spectacle greatly inspired the 100,000 troops who had just left Liangzhou.
Although the Xiongnu Empire has dominated the northern grasslands for hundreds of years, shocking the countries in the Western Regions and intimidating the Southern Chen Dynasty, now Zhou Yi leads a hundred thousand black cavalry all the way westward along the Shule River. However, all the tribes and forces in the Xiongnu grasslands are No one noticed.
Karasuma Chanyu has become even more confident since he trained his new army at Iron Buddha.
When he learned that Chen Guo's Tiance general Zhou Yi had led an army of 200,000 people out of Wuwei Pass and captured Shanggu, Yuyang, and Youbeiping within half a month, Wuwan Shanyu not only lost his temper , but I feel that I finally have a decent opponent.
In Karasuma Shanyu's view, the first time he united with the Khitans to carve up the Chen State failed, this was entirely because of the backstab from the Khitans; the second time he united the Qiang and Di tribes to invade the Chen State also encountered a Waterloo, purely because of himself Met a group of pig teammates.
Now that he doesn't have the burdens of Khitan and Qiang Di, and he has an opponent like General Chen Guotiance and Zhou Yi, how can he not be excited and happy!
Wuwan Shanyu immediately mobilized the eighteen grassland tribes of King Juncheng, King Hulan, and King Beiliu, and a force of 400,000 to go to the east to support the endangered Zuoxian King's tribe.
King Zuoxian's tribe originally had 60,000 soldiers and horses, plus the 400,000 troops led by Karasuma Shanyu, the total number was 460,000.
Lin Zhenyuan, on the other hand, left 50,000 troops and horses on Wuwei Pass and the Great Wall, and now only has 150,000 available troops.
The number of Xiongnu was three times the number of people facing Lin Zhenyuan.
To make matters worse, Deng Tong, who was located in Yuyang, was lured deep into the army by a small force led by King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu. Deng Tong, who was already somewhat proud and complacent, immediately led 10,000 troops to pursue him.
Unexpectedly, Deng Tong led his army to pursue too deeply, and encountered a three-sided ambush by the Huns at Toktuo.
In this battle, King Juncheng's tribe and King Beiliu's tribe each sent 5,000 cavalry to attack from the southeast and southwest of Deng Tong's army.
The 5,000 iron pagoda heavy cavalry of the Xiongnu Chanyu confronted Deng Tong head-on.
Deng Tong has always been a big fan of his master Zhou Yi. He has always implemented Zhou Yi's tactical thinking of "if you are poor, you can use tactics to intersperse, and if you are rich, you can cover it with firepower".
It’s just that he doesn’t know how to dialectically analyze problems from a development perspective.
Facing the surging Xiongnu Iron Buddha heavy cavalry, Deng Tong still adopted the old routine and tactics of being covered with arrows and charging with cavalry.
Originally, one would have thought that the enemy would suffer at least heavy losses when encountering this wave of arrows.
But what surprised Deng Tong was that the rain of arrows that had been invincible before did not make any achievements at this moment, and no one of the cavalry charging from the front of the Huns was injured.
When the opponent got closer, Deng Tong discovered that not only the Huns' cavalry were wearing heavy armor, but even the horses were also covered in armor.
At this time, the cavalry from King Juncheng's tribe and King Beiliu's tribe also charged over from both wings.
Deng Tong also knew that it was not advisable to fight head-on with the iron pagoda, the enemy in front of him, so he immediately turned his troops and rushed towards the troops of King Juncheng of the Xiongnu.
Although the Iron Buddha of the Xiongnu was indeed powerful, these soldiers of Zhouyi were also well-trained, and they still tore a hole in the cavalry of King Juncheng's tribe while surrounded on three sides. Deng Tong himself also led 5,000 remaining soldiers towards the southeast direction and fled.
However, the nature of the Xiongnu is like a bloodthirsty wolf. How could Wuwan Shanyu let Deng Tong and the five thousand remnant soldiers escape in vain?
In fact, before this, Wuwan Chanyu had already asked Zuo Xianwang's troops to set up an ambush along the way Deng Tong fled to the southeast.
Deng Tong's troops, who had already experienced a big battle and had been running away all night, were already exhausted. When they met the cavalry of King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu, they were still no match for them.
This encounter was completely one-sided.
The Xiongnu Zuoxian King's troops were waiting for work and almost wiped out more than 5,000 remaining soldiers led by Deng Tong.
If his brothers hadn't fought for their lives, even Deng Tong would have died at the hands of King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu.
In the end, Deng Tong led more than ten wounded soldiers to defect to Lin Zhenyuan's main force, which had already captured Luntai.
Lin Zhenyuan, who was still feeling that the attack was going well in Luntai, suddenly became gloomy when he heard that Deng Tong's troops had lost nearly 10,000 troops.
"General Lin, the last general is incompetent. He is greedy for power and rushes forward, causing nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses to be lost. Only thirteen people and the last general escaped!"
Lin Zhenyuan was so angry that he couldn't speak. Both he and An Pinbai achieved small victories steadily. An Pinbai beheaded more than 600 Xiongnu heads in the formation, while he could only behead one Xiongnu head in the formation. More than 1,300 levels.
But Deng Tong was lucky. With the advantage of their steady and gradual victory, they actually sent a big wave of rhythm to the opponent.
Although Deng Tong's failure did not affect the overall situation, it greatly damaged the morale of the Weiwei Guards.
"General Lin, if you know that I will be responsible for the crime I committed this time, I will die! But before I die, I still want to tell you the information about the Huns!"
Although Lin Zhenyuan and Wu Laoliu were angry, they still listened patiently.
After learning that the Huns had heavy cavalry with men, horses, and armor, Lin Zhenyuan and Wu Laoliu admired Zhou Yi's foresight even more. No wonder Zhou Yi asked the Yongzhou Ordnance Institute to mass-produce the Eight Bulls that could shoot eight hundred steps before going on the expedition. Crossbow.
After Wuwan Shanyu killed nearly ten thousand soldiers and horses of Chen State through this formation, he felt extremely happy. The haze of the previous two attacks against Chen Guo was also swept away at this moment.
Karasuma Shanyu, who had a great victory, was already thinking about the day when he would completely defeat Zhou Yi.
When the time comes, Karasuma Chanyu is not going to kill Zhou Yi, but wants him to watch his subordinates die in front of him one by one.
After killing Zhou Yi's men, he used the heads of Zhou Yi's men to make wine cups, and asked him to pour wine and dance for him every day.
Karasuma Chanyu suddenly thought that the men who served the emperor in the Chen State seemed to have to undergo some kind of special castration punishment. Perhaps he could use it on Zhou Yi, the Tiance general of the Chen State, so that he could provide a life for his beloved concubine Otsuki. Que's humiliation was avenged.
Karasuma Chanyu fell asleep surrounded by several prairie beauties as he thought about it. He didn't know what kind of sweet dream Karasuma Chanyu had in his dream, but the smile on his face never disappeared.
The imagination is beautiful, but the reality is very skinny. After Zhou Yi and Wang Dachui led their troops from Liangzhou County, they crossed the Wuli Mountain, crossed the Yellow River, attacked the Chu Pu tribe, quickly killed King Chu Pu, crossed the Hunu River, fought for more than a thousand miles in six days, and defeated the Five Kingdoms of the Xiongnu. They defeated all the little kings in Hexi one after another like a raging force.
Even the path from Chen State to the Western Regions was opened up by Zhou Yi. Zhou Yi also called this route the Hexi Corridor.
