Chapter 149 Lou is annoying
On March 14, 426, the Great Jin Dynasty, just 10 days after the battle with the three 10,000 teams of Wuheng Wangting, Liu Ji received bad news from Zhang Guihou in the county yamen in Chengyin City and sent a quick horse to deliver bad news.
A larger Loufan army came to the outside of Xishan Pass again, and the Loufan army's strength was likely to exceed 80,000 cavalry.
Liu Ji, who was shocked, quickly sent someone to send Le Yi, who was stationed in the city, and Su Lie and Wei Xiaokuan, who were stationed outside the city, to the county government to discuss how to deal with the sudden appearance of this army of Loufan.
Le Yi, Su Lie and Wei Xiaokuan learned that more than 80,000 Loufan troops were coming outside the Xishan Pass, and they couldn't help but smile bitterly. They had just driven away a hungry wolf, but now another evil tiger came, and they didn't even leave a few days for Chengyin County to recuperate.
Liu Ji smiled bitterly and said, "It may be that we destroyed more than 4,000 cavalrymen of the Loufan Cangxiong Tribe before. I was told by Loufan. Otherwise, Loufan would not have gathered a large cavalry army of such a large number and came outside the Xishan Pass. It was obviously targeting our Chengyin County!"
Le Yi said in a deep voice: "My lord, there is no other choice at this time. He can only fight against the Loufan army. He suggests that it is best to choose the battlefield at Xishankou. Xishankou is the entire Chengyin County. The only place where we can have a good geographical advantage, at least we can attack and retreat or defend!"
Su Lie also said with a serious look on his face: "Lou Prince, Brother Le's words are reasonable. Since the Loufan army has already approached Xishankou, we have no way out and can only fight to the death. The terrain of Xishankou is the most beneficial to us!"
Wei Xiaokuan said at this time: "Lord, although the Loufan army has more than 80,000 cavalry, we are not without a chance to win. As long as we can defend the Xishankou, we still have the chance to defeat this Loufan army!"
Liu Ji then gritted his teeth and said decisively to Le Yi: "Le Yi, Chengyin City only has you, an infantryman, Chengyin City must not make any mistakes!"
Le Yi nodded and said, "Don't worry, lord, as long as Le Yi has a breath, Chengyin City will never fall into the opponent!"
Then Liu Ji said to Su Lie and Wei Xiaokuan: "You two cavalrymen gathered together immediately and rushed to Xishankou with the general's guard and five infantrymen. We must arrive at Xishankou as soon as possible. We can only rely on Zhang Guihou's 1,500 people, and cannot stop Lou Fan's army."
On the afternoon of March 14, Liu Ji brought his army to Xishankou. In addition to the two cavalry brought from Chengyin City, five infantry and one guard, five cavalry from the ranch south of Xishankou were also brought by Liu Ji.
What made Liu Ji relieved was that the army of Lou Fan had not yet launched an attack on Zhang Guihou's troops at Xishankou. Lou Fan was building a camp about eight miles north of Xishankou.
The simple camp built by the Wuheng army was still there to the south of Xishankou, so Liu Ji led his troops to enter the camp directly.
The coalition forces of the two tribes of Loufan completed the construction of the camp more than ten miles north of the Xishankou in the evening of the 14th. The generals of the two tribes of Loufan then gathered in a felt bag and began to study how to fight against the Jin army in Chengyin County.
The generals of the Cangxiong tribe include the ten thousand-man captain Bilege, Erdemu and Enkel, and Jirit, who commanded five thousand-man teams in the name of the thousand-man captain.
The generals of the Qingyang tribe had three ten thousand men, namely Menglaen, Babuhe and Kada.
Bilege, the ten thousand men of the Cangxiong tribe, said to the three ten thousand men of the Qingyang tribe with a smile: "This time, under the order of the Right King, I led the three ten thousand men of the Cangxiong tribe, 5 thousand men of the Cangxiong tribe, as well as the 20,000 cavalry of the affiliated tribes of the Cangxiong tribe, totaling nearly 58,000 cavalry to attack Chengyin County with the Qingyang tribe. I wonder how many cavalry soldiers Le were sent by the Qingyang tribe of King Zuoyi this time?"
This time, the ten thousand men, Bilege, was appointed as the leading commander of the Cangxiong Tribe by Loufan's right wise king Morige, who was responsible for commanding more than 58,000 cavalrymen of the Cangxiong Tribe.
Some of the Cangxiong tribes have more than one thousand cavalry teams, so the Cangxiong tribe's troops have reached more than 58,000. If the Cangxiong tribe's thousand cavalry teams have exactly one thousand cavalry teams, then the Cangxiong tribe will only have 55,000 cavalrymen in Chengyin County this time.
Meng Lahn, the ten thousand men of Qingyang Tribe, immediately smiled and said to Bilege: "Bilg, my friend, this time our Qingyang Tribe has only sent three teams of 10,000 people, about 32,000 cavalry, but with the more than 58,000 cavalry of your Cangxiong Tribe, the total strength of our Loufan Alliance has exceeded 90,000. Not to mention flattening Chengyin County, there is no problem even if you flattening the entire Dai'an County."
The ten thousand men, Meng Laen, was appointed as the leader of the Qingyang tribe by Lou Fan, Zuoyi, Wang Haoburi.
Bilege, the ten thousand men of the Cangxiong tribe, shook his head and said, "Menglaen, don't you know? The three 10,000 teams of Wuheng Wangting were defeated by the Jin cavalry in Chengyin County outside the Xishankou, and more than half of them were lost. It is said that there are 100,000 Jin cavalry in Chengyin County. We must be careful next and don't repeat the mistakes of the three 10,000 teams of Wuheng Wangting Wangting!"
Meng Laen, the ten thousand men of the Qingyang tribe, said indifferently: "The total coalition of our two tribes is more than 90,000, and its strength is three times that of the three 10,000 teams of Wuheng Royal Court. If we follow the general's wishes, we don't need to build this camp here. We will directly break through the Xishan Pass and approach the Chengyin City. The Jin people did not build a city wall at the Xishan Pass, and they could not stop our 90,000 army at all!"
Bilege smiled and said, "It is better to be cautious. Even if the combat effectiveness of the Jin people is weak, there are still 100,000 troops. The coalition forces of our two tribes should test the reality of the Jin people's army here and be more appropriate."
Meng Laen said at this time: "To be honest, I don't think that the cavalry in Chengyin County can have 100,000 people. How many cavalry in Jin State in the entire four northern prefectures? Where can we transform 100,000 cavalry? Unless the imperial guards of Jin State go north, but if the imperial guards of Jin State go north, there is no news on the grassland with such a big move. This general thinks about the so-called 100,000 cavalry, maybe it was bragged by the Wuheng people for the sake of good looks!"
Bilege then said: "No matter whether the Jin army in Chengyin County has 100,000 cavalry, but if they can defeat the three 10,000 teams of Wuheng Royal Court, we must pay attention to them. If our coalition loses too much, it will be difficult for you and me to explain to the tribe."
