Chapter 653: The Fierce Liaodong Army
Accompanied by the sound of drums from the top of the city wall, the city gate opened wide, and a group of cavalrymen as fierce as wolves and tigers swarmed out and charged straight towards the Xianbei cavalry outside the city.
The Xianbei cavalry came from a long distance and originally wanted to plunder nearby villages and towns for food supplies, but they did not expect that defenses were well taken everywhere and they could not find any opportunity to take advantage of.
They had just arrived at the city and had no time to catch their breath when the cavalry in the city rushed out to charge.
Before these Xianbei cavalrymen were ready to line up to meet the enemy, Lu Cheng took the lead and charged straight into the middle.
Zhang Liao led 500 light cavalry and bypassed the Xianbei cavalry from the right. When the two sides approached, he fired round after round of arrows at the enemy.
Huang Hansheng was not familiar with the combat methods of the Liaodong cavalry. He just followed Lu Cheng not far away and broke into the enemy formation from the left. Wherever his long sword passed, no one could stop him.
When Huang Zhong was halfway through the fight, he looked up into the distance and saw that Lu Cheng had led the cavalry to break through the enemy formation and split the 3000 Xianbei cavalry into two.
Next, the cavalry continued to raid, cut, disperse, surround and strangle the enemy.
With Lu Cheng leading the team personally, and the two powerful generals Huang Zhong and Zhang Liao, the mere 3000 Xianbei cavalry were not enough to deliver food.
For a moment, the sounds of swords and guns clashing, the neighing of horses, and the sound of horse hooves mixed together to create a symphony on the battlefield.
The battle lasted less than half an hour. Except for a very few who escaped, the rest of the 3000 Xianbei cavalry either surrendered or were killed, leaving a pile of broken limbs on the ground.
"Clean up the battlefield, gather the horses, and return to the city."
In a surprise attack, more than 2000 war horses, more than 1500 weapons were seized, and more than Xianbei cavalry were captured, achieving a great victory.
The soldiers had just finished cleaning up the battlefield and returned to the city when they saw smoke and dust rising on the horizon again. The more than 30,000 Xianbei troops had finally arrived outside the city.
However, when the Xianbei leader led his troops to the outside of the city, he saw only corpses all over the ground. He quickly called a cavalryman who had just escaped and said, "Didn't you say they were still resisting? How did they fail so quickly?"
"Captain, I don't know either."
"You are incompetent, what use are you to? Kill you!"
"Chief, please spare me, Chief, please spare me!"
On the top of the city wall, Lu Cheng and the other soldiers looked at the scene outside the city and asked casually, "Do you know which tribes' flags are flying outside the city?"
"Reporting to the governor, this time the Xianbei united seven tribes, large and small. The largest of them is the Kebineng tribe, which sent 7 soldiers this time. There is also the Mohu tribe, which sent soldiers..."
At this time, the Xianbei in the north were also in chaos. There were the Liaodong Xianbei and the Liaoxi Xianbei close to Liaodong, and the Tuoba Xianbei in the north.
In addition to the Xianbei, there are also the Xiongnu, Qiang and other peoples in the northwest.
In the later period, the world was divided into three parts, Wei, Shu and Wu, and they often fought each other. But when facing foreign tribes, whether it was Wei in the north, Shu in the southwest, or Sun Wu in Jiangdong, they never failed.
Even Sun Quan sent troops to Yizhou and Hainan.
However, among these foreign tribes, the most difficult to deal with is probably Kebi Neng.
For the later Cao Wei, Kebi Neng was no easier to deal with than Shu Han and Dong Wu. When Cao Cao was in power, he sent Cao Zhang to deal with Kebi Neng.
Later, Cao Cao and Cao Pi died one after another. Ke Bineng contacted Shu Han in the south and formed an alliance to deal with Cao Wei together. He prepared to attack from both the north and the south and destroy the Wei Kingdom at that time.
It was not until Zhuge Liang's death that Cao Wei finally took action and sent assassins into the Xianbei tribe to kill Kebi Neng.
The fact that he was able to force Cao Wei to use assassins shows how much of a headache Ke Bineng was.
In addition to Kebi Neng, the Mohu tribe is not simple either. Although it is still relatively weak now, the Mohu tribe later changed its name to Murong clan and successively established five regimes: Former Yan, Later Yan, Southern Yan, Northern Yan, and Western Yan.
Murong Fu in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils is a descendant of the Murong clan of the State of Yan.
Lu Cheng thought for a moment, looking at the Xianbei army outside the city, planning the next battle.
At this moment, another general from the Xianbei army outside the city rode out on horseback, holding a mace, and came to the city to challenge.
Seeing this, Lu Cheng also laughed: "I didn't expect these barbarians from outside the Great Wall to have learned how to fight generals."
Huang Zhong immediately asked for battle: "Sir, I am willing to fight."
Zhang Liao also stood up immediately and said, "My lord, please let me go."
Lu Cheng nodded: "Then let Wenyuan go first, Hansheng rest for a while, it won't be too late to fight again."
As he spoke, Zhang Liao had already rushed to the city gate, opened the city gate, and rushed straight towards the enemy general.
The enemy general saw that the person coming out was a young general and was somewhat contemptuous of him. Just as the two sides passed each other, Zhang Liao swung his sword and the enemy general had just raised the mace in his hand when Zhang Liao chopped off his head.
After several months of military training, with the guidance of Lu Cheng, and the practice of martial arts with Zhao Yun, Taishi Ci and others, Zhang Liao has made great progress.
When the Xianbei leader saw Zhang Liao kill his general with one blow, he immediately looked around and asked, "Who will kill him?"
"I go!"
However, the second enemy general had just rushed in front of Zhang Liao when he was killed by Zhang Liao again in less than three rounds.
Immediately afterwards, the third and fourth enemy generals were killed one after another, and no one dared to fight for a while.
Zhang Liao jumped on his horse with a knife in hand, pointed it at the enemy, and said with great courage: "Who else dares to come and die?"
When this loud shout was heard, all the Xianbei generals were terrified.
The Xianbei leader had no choice but to order his troops to retreat three miles and set up camp.
At the same time, outside Wangping City, just north of Xiangping, Zhao Yun personally led the cavalry, with spears in hand, and rode his horse to kill his way through the enemy's formation.
The Xianbei leader was panicked and hurriedly ordered his men to stop Zhao Yun and tried to retreat and escape.
Zhao Yun saw this and rushed forward alone. Not long after, he had rushed in front of the Xianbei leader. With just one spear, he stabbed the Xianbei leader to death: "Those who surrender will be spared!"
In the northeast of Liaodong, after Taishi Ci led his army to defeat the Fuyu cavalry, he led a thousand cavalrymen directly into the territory of Fuyu.
In the evening, in the north of Changli City, the Xianbei cavalry were busy making fires, cooking, and building siege equipment.
In Changli City, the soldiers under Lu Cheng's command are ready to go.
Just when the enemy was having lunch, Lu Cheng once again led 2,000 cavalrymen to charge out. Together with Zhang Liao and Huang Zhong, they each led a team of troops and rushed straight towards the Xianbei camp like three arrows.
The Xianbei leaders never imagined that Lu Cheng would dare to attack their military camp of more than 2000 people with only cavalrymen.
The crude camp gate was pierced by Lu Cheng's shot and smashed to pieces with three shots. Huang Zhong and Zhang Liao followed closely behind and rushed into the enemy camp.
The Xianbei leader hurriedly ordered a battle. The coalition forces composed of several tribes were already in disarray and were unable to organize themselves when suddenly attacked. Some tribes wanted to retreat and reorganize their troops, but the retreat turned into an escape, which led to the escape of people from other tribes.
Amid the chaos, Lu Cheng had already kept his eyes on the Xianbei leader. Seeing that the leader was trying to escape with the help of the guards, Lu Cheng jumped off his horse and while in mid-air, he threw the spear in his hand forward with all his might.
The steel spear weighing dozens of kilograms was like a cannonball. With a sharp whistling sound, it crossed a distance of dozens of feet in the blink of an eye, penetrated the Xianbei leader unhindered, and nailed him and his horse to the ground.
"The leader is dead!"
The scream completely disrupted the already chaotic Xianbei camp. In order to escape, the Xianbei cavalry of various tribes trampled on each other, and the scene became a mess.
Amidst this chaos, Lu Cheng and his two companions charged back and forth in the camp, cutting the more than 30,000 soldiers into pieces and making them unable to take care of themselves.
At the same time, the infantry in the city had also rushed to the front of the Xianbei camp, and they were advancing forward in formation, striding forward like mountains.
The battle lasted from dusk until dark, and the Xianbei camp was completely defeated.
Although we were outnumbered, we had Lu Cheng, Huang Zhong, and Zhang Liao all working together, and it was like a king crushing a bronze warrior. They defeated the invading enemy in just one day and launched a hunt on the grassland...
