"Ah bang bang bang!"

Sure enough, at the moment when nearly ten thousand arrows of the Han cavalry fell one after another, hundreds of Xianbei cavalry were shot by the arrows, and immediately screamed again and again, and they turned their backs.Immediately afterwards, hundreds of enemy cavalry were tripped by the fallen horses in front, and the casualties increased rapidly. After a round of arrows, the Xianbei cavalry lost at least a thousand cavalry.

The reason is that the two years of fighting and training in the Huben Camp can definitely be called well-trained. Therefore, when Dianwei gave an order, the soldiers behind him could immediately respond and disperse.In contrast, although Yu Fuluo's army had many soldiers and horses, they belonged to different camps and got together temporarily.The barbarian iron cavalry is good at dealing with infantry who are not good at horse fighting, and they are even better at robbing houses. However, when they fight face to face with Xiliang iron cavalry, the gap between the two immediately becomes apparent. The barbarian army lacks unity. The disadvantages of training are obvious and cannot be concealed at all.

Xianbei's front charging iron cavalry was frustrated, which blocked the way forward for the cavalry who followed closely, the momentum of the charge dropped sharply, and the battle formation fell into chaos.Under the ebb and flow, the iron cavalry of the Huben camp rushed into the enemy's formation one after another, slashed and killed wantonly, digging a bloody path, and rushed into the rear of the Xianbei iron cavalry.

Just at this time, Zhang Liao led five thousand gold guards and cavalry to follow, and rushed into the enemy's line fiercely like a tiger.Since then, the [-] Han army cavalry has fought together with the [-] Xianbei cavalry, and the number alone is not much worse than the barbarian army. In addition, the offensive of the Xianbei cavalry has been frustrated, and it is already at a disadvantage.Therefore, the Jinyiwei iron cavalry is like a straw that crushes a camel. With an indomitable and brave attack, it tears apart the enemy's formation in the shortest possible time, and goes straight to the Xianbei rear formation. At this time, the Xianbei rear formation is actually where Yu Fuluo is. Chinese army.

However, the Chinese army led by Yu Fuluo himself is very strong, and it is also a war cavalry with more than [-] soldiers.This war cavalry is the Xiongnu iron cavalry led by the old king of the Southern Xiongnu, temporarily obeying Yu Fuluo's dispatch to defend the Chinese army.

Seeing that more than [-] Xianbei iron cavalry were broken into the battle formation by Han cavalry in an instant, with heavy casualties, they are now only twenty steps away from the Chinese army.In an instant, the old king of the Southern Xiongnu's expression changed drastically, his wrinkled cheeks were full of grooves, and his face was mournful, and his baggy eyelids jumped up and down.

"Shanyu, it seems that the information you received earlier was wrong. Who said that the Han army in Xiliang has been out of battle for a long time, their troops have been defeated, and their morale is low! Look at the situation in front of you. How can the Han army be so fierce? A little careless in battle?" The old king of the Southern Huns complained to Fu Luo with a straight face.

Looking at the situation in front of him, Yu Fuluo also frowned, his cheeks were slightly pale, and his eyes were filled with horror.In any case, he couldn't figure out why the Han army, which was afraid to fight in the city a month ago, turned out to be so powerful?

Especially the black armored cavalry who entered the army immediately after the Huben battalion.The most conspicuous thing is that this cavalry of the Han army is well-equipped, the horses are armored, and the soldiers are dressed in black armor. From head to toe, only a pair of eyes are exposed, and the rest are all wrapped in iron armor, even the nose is protected by iron armor.The weapons they carry are very good, all of them are Zhangwu long-handled war swords. They look like big swords, but they don't have the curvature of the back of a big sword. When you look closely, they look like big swords. They are sharpened on both sides. They can be used for both slashing and stabbing, which is extremely rare. strange weapons.

"What do you mean by this old uncle? Can we calmly withdraw from Liangzhou and return to the tribe?" Yu Fuluo asked back with a gloomy face, but he was worried that the respected uncle in the tribe beside him would be angry.

So he took a deep breath and explained in a low voice: "Old man should know that after Li Li from Xiliang sent troops to the border forcefully, for more than two years, our Southern Xiongnu tribe has never set foot in Han territory. In the past Every day when autumn comes, we will send troops to hunt in autumn, plunder Han counties and counties, and rob food, cloth and Han women to spend the winter, so as to strengthen the tribal strength.

However, in the past two years, my clan and I have never dared to set foot on the border of Xiliang, and we have never snatched a grain of food.What's more, the Han army guarding the border would send troops to plunder our southern Xiongnu tribes every month, and would frequently dispatch tens of thousands of cavalry to loot all within a hundred miles of the border, taking them away regardless of age. Slaves, young and strong men built official roads and cities for the Han people.Uncle, have I, the mighty Hun warrior, fallen to this level? "

Yu Fuluo told the story of the blood and tears of the Southern Huns in the past two years without any anger, and he spoke so eloquently that the old king of the Southern Huns blushed when he heard it, and he lowered his head in shame and dared not look at Fuluo directly.

Chapter 577

(Please ask for a guaranteed monthly ticket! Thank you book friend 121126 for your support, thank you!)

Under Yufulo's scorching gaze, the old king of the Xiongnu felt deeply ashamed, and many long-lost past events came to his mind.

Yu Fuluo calls him an old uncle, but in fact he is not Yu Fuluo's uncle, but the tribal chief who has the same roots as Yu Fuluo.

A few years ago, the Shanyu Qiangqu of the Southern Huns was killed, and it should have been due to Fu Luo's succession to the Chanyu throne.However, before Qiang Qu was killed, Yu Fuluo was dispatched to lead troops to help the Han court to destroy the Yellow Turban rebels, which delayed the opportunity and failed to rush back to the tribe while Qiang Qu was alive.After Qiang Qu's death, Marquis Xubu Gudu usurped the throne and inherited Shan Yu's position. Seeing that the situation was not going well, Yu Fuluo did not dare to return to the tribe rashly, so he was detained in Shangdang County to wait and see the changes.

The following year, Xubu Guduhou was killed, leaving Shanyu vacant. Yu Fuluo happily led his people back to the tribe, hoping to inherit Shanyu's throne and lead the Southern Xiongnu tribe.Unexpectedly, he was blocked by the nobles of various tribes, who recognized him as the Shanyu of the Southern Xiongnu, but refused to let him enter the tribal territory, thus forcing Yu Fuluo to return to Shangdang, join forces with the Baibo bandits, and plunder everywhere.

It has been many years since the incident, maybe Yu Fuluo still can't figure out why the tribal nobles don't let him return to the tribe, but the old king of the Southern Huns is very clear about this matter.Because Yu Fuluo could not inherit Shan Yu's position, although he was not the mastermind behind the scenes, he was also the biggest and most powerful accomplice hiding in the dark.

The whole thing was planned and implemented by Yu Fuluo's younger brother, Hu Chuquan.When Qiangqu was murdered, there was Huchuquan's shadow. At that time, he had a close relationship with Xubuguduhou. Tribal support and advocacy.I don't want to think that after Hou Bugudu carefully planned to get rid of Qiangqu, he turned against the guest and ascended to the position of Shanyu himself.Turn to hunt down Hu Chuquan.

Forced to do nothing, Hu Chuquan had no choice but to bend his knees, obeying Xu Bu Gudu as Shan Yu, and hibernating and waiting.In the following year, he united the nobles of various tribes to assassinate Xubugudu Hou, and succeeded in one fell swoop. Unexpectedly, at this time, Yu Fuluo would come back to inherit the Shanyu's position.This made Hu Chuquan feel aggrieved, but he was helpless, and he was afraid that Fu Luo would find out afterward that his father Qiang Qu's death was related to him.Therefore, he could only unite with the tribal nobles to unanimously oppose Fuluo's return, and exchange tribal power for the support of the patriarch.Such a good deed, the old king of the Southern Huns would naturally not refuse.Immediately readily agreed, and tried his best to prevent Yu Fuluo from returning to the tribe.

As a result, everything was as Hu Chuquan expected, the old king of the Southern Xiongnu came forward to unite the nobles of the tribes, and pushed Fuluo out.Not to return to the tribe.However, the nobles and patriarchs of various tribes also recognized that Yu Fuluo was the Shan Yu of the Southern Huns, but only in the name of Shan Yu.But there is no single right.that's all.Yu Fuluo wandered abroad in the name of the Southern Xiongnu Shanyu, relying on the original soldiers and horses in his hands to rob houses, and joined the Baibo bandits, and he has survived until now.

The reason why the old king of the Huns agreed to send troops to form an alliance with Yu Fuluo this time is, as Yu Fuluo said, since the two states of Sili and Xiliang were settled by Li Liping.Hundreds of thousands of troops from Xiliang entered the border, which caused the Southern Huns to live in poverty in the past two years, and their livelihoods were getting worse day by day.The most deadly thing is that the Xiliang Army has sent troops to plunder the Xiongnu tribe all year round.Once a tribe is captured by the Xiliang army, it will be looted, all people and animals will be taken away, and then it will be completely burned.

This is the coldest and most ruthless army the Southern Huns have encountered since the founding of the Han Dynasty. It is completely different from the Han court's policy of benevolence and softness towards the barbarian tribes.And this is exactly what the Southern Huns fear most. Once they lose the autumn hunting to plunder the Han territory, they will have no cloth to survive the cold winter, no food to survive the spring famine, and cannot survive.And the counties of Bingzhou had already been looted by them, and most of the people either fled to other counties or hid in cities.

Such a situation of strong walls and clear fields drove the 10 Huns in the South to a desperate situation. In the past two years, many people died of freezing and starvation. Now that autumn is coming, winter is not far away.This is the third winter. If the tribe can't get enough food and cloth, the number of tribesmen who died this winter will be several times that of last year. At least tens of thousands of tribesmen will not be able to survive this winter.

The old king of the Southern Xiongnu is the oldest, most senior, and most respected old patriarch among the tribes.Seeing that the survival of the tribe is so difficult, how can he just sit idly by?Otherwise, if this situation continues, in two or three years, the Southern Huns will be completely wiped out, and hundreds of thousands of people will starve to death.

So after receiving the secret letter from Yu Fuluo to jointly send troops, he was overjoyed immediately and mobilized more than [-] of the most elite warriors of the Southern Huns to send troops to Liangzhou.

At the beginning of the march, the coalition forces marched triumphantly all the way, attacking the city and pulling out the village without any disadvantage.This made the old Hun king overjoyed, and sent his soldiers to plunder the villages and towns. All useful things, good or bad, were snatched back. In the past month, the harvest was quite rich, and the looted supplies piled up like a mountain. Thousands of people.In addition to being overjoyed, the old king of the Xiongnu secretly marveled at the rapid development and population growth of Liangzhou in the past two years. Two years ago, the total population of Beidi County would not exceed 10. Most of the people have surplus food in their homes, and many of them also have good cloth and some loose money in their homes.

Because of this, this month's looting is enough for 10,000+ Huns to spend a winter.This is just the plunder of the old king of the Huns. As for how many good things the Xianbei tribe, the Qiang tribe and the Baibo thieves have robbed, he does not know.But right now the coalition forces are still fighting, and all supplies and women are being held in the rear camp. After the war is over, that is the time to truly share the fruits of victory.

"Hey!" With a sigh, the old king of the Xiongnu finally looked up at Fuluo, and said softly: "Shanyu, I have wronged you all these years, and all this is the fault of this old man. In my early years, I was too greedy for power, and I was greedy for power. If we welcome you back to the tribe as soon as possible to succeed Shan Yu, our court of the Huns will not be so weak."

While speaking, his eye sockets couldn't help getting moist, and two lines of old tears flowed down the gully on his cheeks, appearing extremely self-blaming.

Trying to calm himself down, the old Hun king choked up and said: "If you can win the plunder of Liangzhou this time, and if the old man is still alive, I will definitely support you to formally succeed Shan Yu and hand over all the troops and horses of the tribe to you. This old man will never break his promise, please believe,,, boom!"

Just as the old king of the Xiongnu uttered the last sentence, a small halberd that was more than a foot long suddenly shot obliquely.In an instant, Yu Fuluo, who had experienced battles for a long time, reacted extremely sensitively, and dodged to avoid it.However, his flash made the old king of the Xiongnu face each other directly. The halberd pierced through the chest of the old king of the Xiongnu in an instant.

"Pfft!" The moment the little halberd passed through his chest, the old king of the Xiongnu spat out blood, his pupils dilated rapidly, and the signs of life were rapidly draining from his body.

"You,,, that's all, it seems that the old man can't escape this test after all, he broke his promise!" The old king of the Xiongnu spat out blood and pointed at Yu Fuluo. up.After uttering the last sentence with difficulty, the old king of the Huns glared angrily, his body tilted and fell off the horse's back, and he fell off the horse and died.

"Uncle!" Yu Fuluo got off his horse and hugged the corpse of the old Hunnu king, crying out in pain, but saw the old Hunnu king staring at him with wide-eyed eyes, motionless, and bleeding from the corner of his mouth.

It is true that although the old king of the Huns died, his blood was still not cold, and after falling off the horse, he squeezed out the remaining blood stains choked in his throat.

However, this scene frightened Yu Fuluo, throwing away the body of the old Hun king, and retreated quickly, his face was pale, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Clang clang!"

Just as Yu Fuluo was in a daze, the soldiers guarding the old king of the Huns and his own soldiers rode forward, grabbed Dian Wei who was throwing the halberd and shot the old king of the Huns.It's a pity that they were not Dianwei's opponents, they seemed to be overthinking their strength, and they were beheaded by Dianwei as soon as they rushed up.Then, just as more than ten soldiers came to kill the generals, but seeing two fierce generals holding long-handled swords behind Dianwei, as the swords volleyed in the air, more than ten enemy soldiers were cut in half with a single knife. slumped.After that, the three of Dian and Wei joined forces and rushed straight to Yu Fuluo.

The two generals following Dian Wei were none other than Zhang Liao and Xu Chu.

Zhang Liao was ordered to break through the enemy's formation and attack the barbarian camp. If he wanted to break through the enemy's formation, he had to defeat Yu Fuluo's army first, otherwise he would not be able to escape.What's more, the ambush soldiers on the two wings have not yet entered the battlefield, so Zhang Liao can't leave right now.

As for Xu Chu, it was his first time to participate in such a battle, and he was very excited. He made the sword with nine rings so powerful that no one could stop it, killing all directions.Afterwards, he arrived first, killing the generals all the way, catching up with Dian Wei and Zhang Liao who were rushing to the front.So the three tiger generals killed the enemy side by side, and the more than [-] warrior knights behind them rushed and killed with high spirits. In less than half an hour, they killed the [-] Xianbei cavalry to pieces and ran for their lives.

It was precisely because of the cowardly escape of the Xianbei iron cavalry that the three of Dian Wei took advantage of the time when Yu Fuluo and the old king of the Huns were whispering together, and went straight to Yu Fuluo to kill the general.During the hacking and killing, Dian Wei wanted to throw a small halberd unexpectedly to kill Yu Fuluo, so that the barbarian army could be wiped out in one battle.Unexpectedly, Yu Fuluo is a man who has experienced many battles after all, and he is still very alert when talking to the old king of the Xiongnu. He dodges the little halberd at the first time, but exposes the old king of the Xiongnu to the flight path of the little halberd.Therefore, the Hun old king who was repenting and blaming himself became Yu Fuluo's scapegoat. He was hit by the small halberd right in the middle of his mouth, pierced through his chest, and died immediately.

"kill"

Just as Dian Wei, Zhang Liao, and Xu Chu three fiercely rushed to kill Yu Fuluo's personal soldiers and tried to kill Yu Fuluo, the shouts of killing resounded through the sky from behind the barbarian army.Immediately afterwards, Hu Che'er led [-] gold guard cavalry to kill the generals from behind the left wing of the barbarian army, while generals such as Cao Xing and Liang Xing led more than [-] county soldiers to attack the right wing of the barbarian army.In addition, Cao Xing's [-] crossbowmen occupied the western hillside, set up large bed crossbows, and shot and killed the barbarian cavalry.The archers of the bow and crossbow battalion did not fire random arrows, but targeted and precise shooting. Almost every arrow could take the life of a barbarian, and all arrows were shot in vain.

Chapter 578

Rumble kill!

An overwhelming sound of thundering and killing came into Fu Luo's ears, making his heart tremble, and he quickly regained his senses while trembling all over his body.

Looking up, I saw that the three Han generals were riding horses and raising their troops to slash and kill the personal guards under his command. Now they are only ten steps away from him, and they are about to kill them.Suddenly, Yu Fuluo's expression changed suddenly, he could no longer care about the old Hun who died in peace, he got up and got on his horse.Immediately, he reined in his horse and turned around, pulled the horse away without making a sound, as if he turned his head and ran away when he saw that the situation was not good.

At this moment, Yu Fuluo seemed to have forgotten that he was the commander-in-chief of the army, and he was entrusted with the lives of 10,000+ troops. The success or failure of the battle to capture Beidi County in Liangzhou depended on it.He even forgot that he himself was the initiator of this battle, and the reason why he joined forces with various ministries to invade Liangzhou was not just for looting, but also for a very important mission.

However, when all these beautiful original intentions collided with his own life, Yu Fuluo chose to run for his life without hesitation.In other words, saving his life is the first priority in his heart, and other things are irrelevant.

Therefore, when he felt that his life was threatened, his first reaction was not to lead the crowd to fight bravely, nor to try his best to save the defeat, but to rein in his horse and run for his life quickly.

At this time, Yu Fuluo no longer imagined that he could defeat the Xiliang army head-on, nor did he expect to capture Chiyang City, nor did he have the intention to avenge the old Hun king. The top priority before him was to escape for his life.

A small halberd can send the [-]-year-old Huns old king to hell. Who can guarantee that there will not be a second small halberd suddenly flying to snatch Yu Fuluo's life?

You must know that the old king of the Xiongnu is not an ordinary general of the Huns, nor is he a weak and incompetent old man, but the oldest and most respected tribal chief of the Southern Xiongnu tribe, whose status is equivalent to that of the Han Dynasty Zongzheng.This old guy was also one of the few warriors in the tribe when he was young, and he had a long-standing reputation in the entire Southern Huns tribe, and had gone through four generations of Xiongnu Shanyu.He is highly respected.

In addition, the old king of the Huns was also a key figure in Yu Fuluo's return to the territory of the Huns to succeed Shan Yu.As long as he can win his support, Yu Fuluo can justifiably inherit Shan Yu, take control of hundreds of thousands of southern Huns, take over 10,000+ tribes who control the strings, and become a powerful force not weaker than the princes of the Central Plains.Perhaps under the leadership of Yu Fuluo, the Southern Huns will have the opportunity to enter the Central Plains to further expand the Huns' territory in the future. At that time, he will become the most wise and powerful Shanyu of the Southern Huns in the past hundred years, and his name will last forever.

It's a pity that all this happened on the spot with the old king of the Huns.In the blink of an eye, Yu Fuluo's long-awaited return to the tribe and succession to Shanyu ran aground again, and he missed another great opportunity in vain.However, compared with his own life, these things are really insignificant, if he can't even save his life.What does Shan Yu have to do with him?
