Chapter 602 Xianbei Rebellion
Xueyue is one of the first lords to unite with Chu Tian. She has been secretly responsible for intelligence and generally will not easily find the legion commander.
If so, it means that an important change must have occurred.
"The Xianbei people in the central region Bu Dugen annexed the Xianbei tribes in Taiyuan County, Yanmen County and other places, with a population of more than 200,000 and secretly built iron tools. They thought we had not noticed it yet, but they still alarmed our Intelligence Department."
"Please ask two generals, one of whom, leads the troops of Bingzhou to suppress the Xianbei tribe in Budugen, and disperse their tribes everywhere, so that they cannot be unified. The other general is still stationed in Longcheng, Monan."
"This is the lord's military order."
Xueyue gave Chu Tian’s decision to Yue Fei and Cao Cao, asking them to suppress the Xianbei tribe in Bingzhou.
The Xianbei tribes seem very weak, but this is under the premise that their tribes are scattered. If they are allowed to become a unified kingdom, then the threat is no less than that of the Western Xia Kingdom.
Yue Fei and Cao Cao were not very worried about the Xianbei tribe. With their ability, recruiting Bingzhou troops should be enough to suppress the Xianbei tribes that tend to rebel.
"Maybe we can take advantage of this opportunity to suppress the Xianbei in Bingzhou to reorganize the order of Bingzhou and establish the majesty of the government. So which general is willing to send troops to surround the Xianbei tribe in heavy snow?"
Xueyue looked at Yue Fei and Cao Cao, no matter which one, she would easily deal with the Xianbei tribe.
"General Yue Fei will command the Bingzhou army. It is better to leave the matters of Bingzhou to General Yue Fei. As for me, Cao Mengde, guard the Monan for the general."
Cao Cao discovered that Chu Tian's status was far higher than him, and he was in a position that Cao Cao could not even reach.
The general was the second only official position in the Han Empire after the royal family, and he could no longer be higher.
"I requested to transfer the Heishan Legion stationed in Jizhou. They are good at mountain combat. If the Xianbei tribe hides in the mountains, the Heishan Legion can assist in the battle."
Yue Fei really wanted to deal with the Xianbei tribe, but he did not take it lightly. On the contrary, he believed that more troops should be dispatched.
"I'll ask my lord..."
Xueyue leaves.
Yue Fei was ready to go to the central Xianbei tribe and commanded some of the Bingzhou troops to station in Taiyuan County and Yanmen County.
In order to avoid alerting the enemy, we only declare to the outside world that normal troops and horses are mobilized.
At the junction of Taiyuan County and Yanmen County, the Budugen tribe and the Xianbei cavalry flags were waving.
A Xianbei leader raised his arms and stopped everyone's movements. All the Xianbei cavalry looked at this person: "The Xianbei tribe has always been in a state of division and has become a vassal of the Han Empire. The Xianbei tribe needs to become a kingdom and no longer rely on the empire's face!"
Bu Dugen was also impressed by this person's charm and decided to follow him.
The tribal system is no longer suitable for the Xianbei.
In Taiyuan County, Zhang Yan led the Heishan Army to Yanmen County to meet with the Weifeng Army stationed in Mayi.
Zhang Liao was from Mayi, Yanmen County and was familiar with the local terrain. He was transferred to Yanmen County by Yue Fei to gather to suppress the Xianbei tribes.
The mobilization of the mighty legion was discovered by the Xianbei people in Mayi area.
In Juzhu Mountain in Yanmen County, Zhang Yan led the Heishan Legion through this place and prepared to meet with Zhang Liao.
The Black Mountain Legion was originally a legion prepared for mountain combat, and it was also a legion established by Zhang Yan and other Black Mountain generals.
Zhang Yan led 100,000 Black Mountain troops to surrender to Chu Tian, and Chu Tian asked someone to select elite troops from them and form the Black Mountain Legion.
"The Xianbei...the weak Xianbei tribe dared to betray our Han Empire?"
Zhang Yan learned that his goal was to suppress the Xianbei tribe in Yanmen County, and scoffed at the Xianbei tribe's attempt to betray the Han Empire.
Zhang Yan did not think that the weak Xianbei tribe had the ability to betray the control of the Bingzhou government.
Although Yue Fei's main force of the Bingzhou Army was transferred to Monan, he could return to the army at any time.
Zhang Baiqi, Li Damu and other Black Mountain generals were all in Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Legion. They held spears or big swords and were majestic and had a force of over 70.
After becoming a military officer and soldier from the Black Mountain Army, these generals lived a good life.
A war eagle hovered over the Black Mountain Army, which stretched for twenty or thirty miles.
Zhang Yan rode a war horse and noticed this war eagle.
"Strange, how could the Iron Eagle Scout's cavalry be here? Are there Iron Eagle Scout's cavalry conveying important information?"
After Zhang Yan joined Chutian's camp, he knew the existence of the Iron Eagle Scout.
This is the war eagle of Mulan's special military Iron Eagle Scout. It is used to convey important information or combat situations in the wild, and is extremely useful.
Zhang Yan was just a little confused, but didn't care much, because this was a reconnaissance method used by his own cavalry.
There may be friendly forces nearby.
On a hillside of Juzhu Mountain, the war eagle fell down, but it fell on the shoulders of a Xianbei general.
"Defeat this legion, boost morale, sweep across Yanmen County and Taiyuan County, and the rest of the tribes will help us."
Xianbei generals commanded the Xianbei cavalry and launched an attack on Zhang Yan's Heishan Legion!
A team of Iron Eagle Scouts cavalry followed the Xianbei generals and galloped down from the hillside!
Xianbei cavalry hidden in Juzhu Mountain appeared, with more than tens of thousands, or even more!
"Cabinets, cavalry suspected to be enemies!"
A Black Mountain cavalry came back to report to Zhang Yan, Zhang Baiqi and others!
"Snatch the top of the mountain and defend with all your might!"
Zhang Yan has experienced many battles and has been active in the Heishan area, participating in the war between Zhao Long and Hu Ma, and also participating in the war between Zhao Long and Chu Tian. At this time, he knew that the enemy was very likely to be good at using cavalry tactics, so he ordered his army to occupy a hillside and resist the attacks from unknown cavalry!
The Black Mountain Legion had 40,000 people. Zhang Yan lacked the characteristics of governing the army and was difficult to command for a while. Some of the Black Mountain Army, which followed Zhang Yan, retreated smoothly to the mountain.
The army that stretched for 20 or 30 miles could not react in time. Thousands of people were in chaos, and tens of thousands of infantry located in the rear were gathering on the hillside where Zhang Yan was located.
"quick!"
Zhang Yan urged a group of Black Mountain generals under his command.
The general characteristics of the generals of the Black Mountain Army are that they have high military power, low command and intelligence. When they are about to fight, their reactions are far worse than those of Zhou Yafu and others. For a time, some of the troops fell into chaos.
The Black Mountain Legion had not taken shape, and the command ability of the general was quite average. Chu Tian regarded it as a legion that was considered to be used only when fighting in mountain terrain. At this time, it encountered an unprecedented attack!
"I just surrendered to the general, but I became like this. When I see the general again, how should I meet?"
Zhang Yan's palms were sweating.
Chu Tian attached great importance to him, so he appointed him as the commander of the Black Mountain Legion, commanding 40,000 troops, and basically no military supervisor was sent.
If the Heishan Legion was wiped out in the Yanmen Pass area, then Zhang Yan would let Chu Tian down on his trust in him.
"No matter what, guard the hillside here. Zhang Lei Gong, you lead a team of cavalry to Mayi to ask for reinforcements from the Zhang Liao army!"
Seeing that there seemed to be a water source on the hillside here, Zhang Yan could hold on for a while, so he sent a general from the Black Mountain Army to find Zhang Liao stationed in Mayi to ask for reinforcements, and he led the main force of the Black Mountain Army to defend Yu Juzhu Mountain!
The Black Mountain Legion has an additional bonus for combating mountain terrain, all thanks to Zhang Yan's characteristics.
Juzhu Mountain is not far from Mayi, and the enemy chose to launch an unexpected attack while Zhang Yan was relaxing.
The main force of the Black Mountain Army is mainly mountain infantry. If you spread your legs and escape, the cavalry that cannot run four legs will soon be caught up by the cavalry and then chopped and killed.
Using terrain to defend is an effective means for infantry to deal with cavalry.
The premise is that there is enough food, water, and... reinforcements.
The Xianbei cavalry came soon, and Bu Dugen led a team of Xianbei cavalry to attack the chaotic Zhang Baiqi troops!
Xianbei cavalry shot and killed the chaotic Zhang Baiqi troops with chaotic arrows!
Hundreds of Montenegro infantry lack effective command and are penetrated by arrows!
Then, the Xianbei cavalry replaced their spears and sabers and broke into the Black Mountain Army!
Low-level light infantry could not stop the assault of the Xianbei cavalry. Hundreds of light infantry were killed by the Xianbei cavalry with spears and sabers, and fell under the horse hooves of the Xianbei cavalry!
"Brothers, break through with me!"
The Black Mountain military general Zhang Baiqi waved his long sword and killed a Xianbei cavalry under his horse!
The Xianbei cavalry fell to the ground with a bang, and Zhang Baiqi was also a platinum-level general with force above 70!
Among the Black Mountain Army, Zhang Yan had the highest force, and then a group of platinum-level generals. Although their ability to command the legion was not very good, their force was barely acceptable.
"Kill him!"
The Xianbei master Bu Dugen discovered that Zhang Baiqi's counterattack was fierce and killed several Xianbei cavalry in succession, so he ordered the Xianbei cavalry to kill Zhang Baiqi.
The eastern barbarians have the smallest bonus, but they are also strengthened by 25%. The Xianbei cavalry's ability is enhanced. The low-level Black Mountain Army's light instigation was killed under the sabers and spears.
About a hundred Xianbei cavalrymen rushed towards Zhang Baiqi, intending to take Zhang Baiqi's life!
The Black Mountain Army guards beside Zhang Baiqi were of higher rank and more well-equipped than ordinary Black Mountain soldiers. They fought with Xianbei cavalry and fought against the two sides. In order to protect Zhang Baiqi, the Black Mountain Army guards kept falling beside Zhang Baiqi.
"General, Zhang Baiqi is surrounded by Xianbei cavalry!"
The Black Mountain Army general Li Damu was panicked when he saw Zhang Baiqi trapped in heavy siege on the hillside.
These Black Mountain military generals had a good relationship, but Zhang Baiqi was surrounded by Xianbei cavalry and died for a lifetime.
If someone goes to save him, he still has a little chance of life.
Otherwise, it's just a dead end!
"You guys, come with me to rescue Zhang Baiqi!"
Seeing that his former subordinates were in a tough battle, Zhang Yan went to rescue with a group of subordinates!
He only brought two generals and two hundred cavalry!
Zhang Yan jumped on his horse with a gun, led two hundred cavalrymen, and launched a charge from a high point!
Chapter completed!
