Chapter six hundred and tenth one battle

On the morning of July 14, 432, the Great Jin Dynasty, near the Xianbei royal court north of the Yinle Mountains, two large-scale armies slowly pressed towards each other. One of them was the 1.8 million cavalry gathered by the Xianbei people, and the other was more than 3 million troops dominated by the Blao Army.

Early in the morning of July 14, after receiving the signs of attack by the Polu Army, the Xianbei Khan Murong Ke immediately gathered most of the troops of the Xianbei royal court and faced the Polu Army with superior troops without showing any weakness.

The Xianbei Khan Murong Ke couldn't do this. The Xianbei tribe and its affiliated armies were almost all cavalry. We could not let the cavalry give up their war horses and turn them into infantry, and then defend the Xianbei royal court to the death!

Therefore, the Xianbei Khan Murong Ke could only bite the bullet and choose to fight the Polu Army on the grassland near the Xianbei royal court.

At present, the Xianbei cavalry gathered in the Xianbei royal court and the cavalry of various affiliated tribes, including the young and old people who had just been recruited, have reached two million. This time, when facing the Polu Army, the Xianbei Khan Murong Ke did not bring out the 200,000 Xianbei cavalry, but stayed in the Xianbei royal court and acted as a reserve team.

After the army of both sides approached, generals from the Polu Army came to the two armies and called out to the Xianbei army, but the Xianbei people turned a blind eye to the generals of the Polu Army. The Xianbei Khan Murong Ke was not stupid. Fighting with the powerful generals of the Polu Army would only reduce their morale and cause the Xianbei people to lose several warriors with high martial arts. What's more, the generals who fought in the Polu Army gave the Xianbei Khan Murong Ke a very deep impression.

The general of the Polu Army who called out to the Xianbei tribe in front of the two armies was Li Cunxiao, the current number one general of the Polu Army. Li Cunxiao shouted to the Xianbei army for a long time, but unfortunately, no general of the Xianbei tribe dared to fight. At this time, the sound of gongs sounded in front of the Polu Army. Li Cunxiao curled his lips contemptuously at the Xianbei army in the distance, and then drove his horse back to the Polu Army's formation.

"Mr. Zhang, the Xianbei people dare not send anyone to fight with us! " Li Cunxiao shrugged and said to Zhang Liang.

Liu Ji was not in front of the Polu Army at this time. In this battle with the Xianbei people, Liu Ji appointed Zhang Liang as the commander of more than three million troops, but Liu Ji left alone with more than two hundred puppet bodyguards.

Zhang Liang smiled slightly and said, "It seems that the battle with the grassland coalition forces has spread the reputation of General Li Cunxiao all over the grassland. Since the Xianbei people dare not fight against generals, then we will send cavalry troops to launch an attack next!"

At this time, Li Mu asked for a fight and said, "Mr. Zhang, why not let Li Mu take the lead?"

At present, Li Mu was temporarily appointed by Liu Ji as the commander of more than 24,000 Han Dynasty Tiger Ben Army, Wang Jian was temporarily appointed as the commander of more than 18,000 Tang Dynasty Xuanjia soldiers, Bai Qi was temporarily appointed as the commander of more than 96,000 Wei martial soldiers, and Meng Tian was temporarily appointed as the commander of more than 35,000 soldiers in the trap camp.

Zhang Liang nodded and said, "Depending on the Xianbei people's posture, they will not take the initiative to launch an attack. General Li Mu, then we will leave the head of our Polu Army to you!"

Li Mu then led more than 24,000 Han Dynasty Tiger Ben Army to charge against the Xianbei army, and at least 30,000 cavalrymen soon came up to meet him.

When the cavalry on both sides fought together, the 30,000 Xianbei cavalry immediately fell into a disadvantage, and the Xianbei Khan Murong Ke had to send another 30,000 Xianbei cavalry to support him.

When Zhang Liang saw that tens of thousands of cavalry of the Xianbei tribe rushed out, he immediately asked Wang Jian to lead more than 18,000 Xuanjia soldiers of the Tang Dynasty to rush out.

Just like this, you sent a group of cavalry to launch a charge, and I immediately sent a group of cavalry to meet it. Not long after, there were more than 24,000 Han Dynasty Tiger Army, more than 18,000 Tang Dynasty Xuanjia soldiers, fifteen cavalry brigades of the grassland army, twelve cavalry brigades of the Beiting Legion, and 900,000 nomadic cavalry recruited from the Beiting Protectorate, fighting with the Xianbei cavalry.

In addition to infantry, the Polu Army also had three cavalry brigades of the grassland army, four cavalry brigades of the Beiting Legion and 800,000 nomadic cavalry recruited from the Beiting Protectorate. They still did not join the battlefield. However, the Xianbei people had sent 1.6 million Xianbei cavalry and cavalry of various affiliated tribes. The army left by the Xianbei Khan Murong Ke was only 200,000 Xianbei cavalry.

Fortunately, the nomadic cavalry of all races recruited by the Polu Army from the Beiting Protectorate were not strong in combat, which made the Xianbei people not suffer much on the battlefield at present. However, seeing that the Polu Army still had a large number of cavalry and infantry troops in the distance, and did not enter the battlefield, the Xianbei Khan Murong Ke immediately sent someone to transfer 200,000 elite cavalry in the Xianbei royal court to 150,000 people.

When the elite cavalry of the 150,000 Xianbei clans also left the Xianbei royal court and Liu Ji, who brought more than 200 puppet bodyguards, couldn't help but smile. At this time, Liu Ji, with more than 200 puppet bodyguards, had already gone around the north of the Xianbei royal court. The battlefield where the Polu Army and the Xianbei tribe were fighting fiercely was on the south of the Xianbei royal court.

Not long after, Liu Ji brought more than 200 puppet bodyguards to rush to the Xianbei royal court. After approaching the Xianbei royal court, a dense array of Wei martial soldiers suddenly appeared beside Liu Ji. It turned out that Liu Ji summoned all the 230,000 Wei martial soldiers reserved in the system.

Although there were still 50,000 elite Xianbei cavalry at this time, the 230,000 Wei martial soldiers appeared too suddenly, and there was no time for 50,000 Xianbei cavalry to react. When these Xianbei cavalry discovered that a large number of troops of defeating the enemy appeared on the east side of the royal court, the 230,000 Wei martial soldiers had already rushed into the Xianbei royal court under the leadership of Liu Ji and started a melee with the Xianbei cavalry.

Zhang Liang saw that as Liu Ji said, Liu Ji had secretly dispatched some elite troops to lurk north of the Xianbei royal court, and took advantage of the opportunity of the main force of the Polu Army fighting with the main force of the Xianbei tribe to attack the Xianbei royal court. Zhang Liang made a quick decision and immediately sent all three cavalry brigades of the Grassland Legion, four cavalry brigades of the Beiting Legion and 800,000 nomadic cavalry of all races recruited from the Beiting Protectorate to the battlefield.

The Xianbei Khan Murong Ke learned that a large number of infantry from the Polu Army had attacked the Xianbei royal court, and his body shook and almost landed the war horses. Murong Ke quickly asked another 150,000 Xianbei cavalry that had just been transferred from the royal court to return to the royal court to wipe out the infantry of the Polu Army. However, at this time, the more than one million cavalry troops that the Polu Army did not go to fight were all suppressed.

"Father Khan, what should I do? The cavalry troops of the Polu Army rushed up!" asked Murong Xiong, the left wise king of Xianbei, and asked anxiously.

The Xianbei Khan Murong Ke's face changed a few times, then gritted his teeth and said, "There is no need to let the 150,000 cavalry return to the royal court to support. All the Xianbei warriors will attack with the Khan. Whether our Xianbei people can continue to survive on the grassland depends on today's battle!"

Now there are 1.6 million Xianbei cavalry and cavalry of various affiliated tribes who have been put into the battlefield. Once this cavalry battle is defeated, it will be useless to eliminate the infantry of the Polu Army in the royal court now. The Xianbei royal court will eventually fall into the hands of the Polu Army. Only by winning this cavalry duel can the Xianbei people have the possibility of protecting the royal court.

Unfortunately, after the Xianbei Khan Murong Ke led 350,000 Xianbei cavalry to the battlefield, the situation on the battlefield soon became one side. After all, the number of cavalry on the Polu Army was much higher than that of the Xianbei people.

On the afternoon of July 14, the Xianbei royal court had been captured by Liu Ji and the Xianbei cavalry finally could not stand it. A large number of Xianbei cavalry and cavalry of various affiliated tribes began to flee in all directions. After the Xianbei Khan Murong Ke was shot to death by an arrow, the remaining millions of cavalry of the Xianbei tribe were completely destroyed.

Finally, the remaining cavalry of the Xianbei tribe and its affiliated tribes, led by the Xianbei Left King Murong Xiong, chose to surrender to the Polu Army and gathered two million cavalrymen, and was defeated by the Polu Army.

In this battle of the Xianbei royal court, nearly 800,000 people were killed in the Xianbei cavalry and the cavalry of each affiliated tribe, and more than 100,000 people fled in all directions. Almost one million and one hundred thousand surrendered to the Polu Army. The troops that the Polu Army, the grassland army and the Beiting army, lost a total of 150,000 people. As the main force, the Han Dynasty Tiger Ben Army and the Tang Dynasty Xuanjia soldiers also lost more than 10,000 people. The nomadic cavalry of various tribes recruited from the Beiting Protectorate's Mansion suffered the greatest losses, and the number of casualties alone exceeded 400,000. In addition, in the process of capturing the Xianbei royal court, the Wei State military soldiers also lost nearly 30,000 people.

It turned out that after Liu Ji summoned Lu Junyi, Wang Yansheng, Huang Ba and Gong Sui, the soul value in his hands was only more than 30,000. After this battle between the Xianbei royal court, Liu Ji's soul value in his hands had exceeded 1.43 million.

On the evening of July 14, in a huge felt bag in the Xianbei royal court, Liu Ji said to the Xianbei Left King Murong Xiong with a look of sad expression: "Murong Ke Khan died in the battlefield, and this Grand Governor was also very sad. After all, Murong Ke Khan was Xueer's father, and Xueer was the wife of this Grand Governor. Murong Ke Khan was also the father-in-law of this Grand Governor. If Xueer knew about the death of Murong Ke Khan, she would not know how sad it would be."

The Xianbei Left King Murong Xiong was not tied up at this time. He smiled bitterly and said, "When Father Khan wanted to join the grassland coalition again, I was very opposed to it. Unfortunately, Father Khan was very stubborn. Father Khan couldn't listen to others' words at all, otherwise we Xianbei people would not end up like this. Oh, I wonder what Governor Liu was going to deal with our Xianbei people?"

Liu Ji immediately said, "Zuo Xianwang, you and I are not outsiders. From Xueer, Zuo Xianwang is also the eldest brother-in-law of the Grand Governor. Since they are all family members, this Grand Governor will tell the truth. The Xianbei people must be loyal to the Grand Governor and the descendants of the Grand Governor for generations. The territory and population of the Xianbei people will be incorporated into the Beiting Protectorate of the Grand Governor. The Polu Army has the right to recruit young and strong men from the Xianbei people to join the army. In addition, this Grand Governor is preparing to let the Grand Governor succeed the position of the Grand Khan of the Xianbei people. I wonder what the Zuo Xianwang thinks?"

Zuo Xianwang Murong Xiong sighed, "Governor Liu, I and the Xianbei people no longer have the capital to bargain."

"Haha, this Grand Governor is willing to deal with people who are aware of the current affairs! Zuo Xianwang... No, Murong Xiong Khan, you have made the most strived for the Xianbei people!"

With the cooperation of Murong Xiong, the Xianbei tribe, the Polu Army began to attack everywhere, taking over all the tribes and troops of the Xianbei tribes. In addition, Liu Ji also sent several large armies to attack the territories of the Xianbei affiliated tribes.

Most of the troops of the various affiliated tribes of the Xianbei were drawn out by the late Xianbei Khan Murong Ke, which made the Polu Army's attack on the various affiliated tribes of the Xianbei. The Chilu people, Hexi people, Yuzhen people, Guhun people, Dingling people and the other eighteen small tribes all surrendered to the iron hoof of the Polu Army.

From the day the Polu Army occupied the Xianbei royal court, the various troops of the Polu Army had annexed thousands of tribes of the entire Xianbei tribe and various nomadic peoples who depended on the Xianbei, and obtained about 8.5 million square kilometers of grasslands, of which nearly 7 million square kilometers of grasslands belonged to the Xianbei people, and the remaining 1.5 million square kilometers of grasslands belonged to the Chilu people, Hexi people, Yuzhen people, Guhun people, Dingling people and the other eighteen small tribes.

The Xianbei people and their respective affiliated tribes had about 25 million, and they all fell into the hands of the Polu Army. The money and property harvested by the Polu Army was even more astronomical. In the royal court of the Xianbei people alone, the Polu Army seized 50 million taels of gold and 1.8 billion taels of silver.

The Xianbei people and the affiliated nomadic peoples combined with about 8.5 million square kilometers of grasslands were all merged into the Beiting Protectorate with a wave of their hand. The 8.5 million square kilometers of grasslands were divided into ten states and were named Xingzhou, Shunzhou, Huaizhou, Weizhou, Luozhou, Shenzhou, Cizhou, Qizhou, Zhaozhou and Baozhou by Liu Ji.

The Polu Army captured and collected Xianbei cavalry and the cavalry of each affiliated tribe of the Xianbei tribe, totaling more than 2.8 million. After removing the old and weak and the generals of each tribe, the Polu Army finally included two million Xianbei cavalry and the cavalry of each affiliated tribe of the Xianbei tribe into the system of the Polu Army, and these two million cavalry of each tribe were almost all incorporated into the grassland legion and Beiting legion of the Polu Army.
