The slope in the north is gentle, with some height differences of only a few hundred meters. The gentle slope extends towards the Mongolian Plateau, but to the south of the Yinshan Mountains, there is a direct fault-like drop of more than a thousand meters to connect with the Hetao Plain.
Therefore, it is not difficult to climb to the top of Yinshan Mountain from the north. What is difficult is how to get down from the top of the mountain to the Hetao Plain. Therefore, since ancient times, Yinshan Mountain has not provided many valley gaps for walking.
Following Tuoba Guoluo's orders, more and more barbarians gathered in front of the Yinshan Fortress. There were three to four hundred riders lined up in front of them, blocking the entire valley road tightly.
The mountain road that once allowed the barbarians to come and go has now been erected with a huge camp stuck in the middle, like a plug, blocking the way.
In the past, the nomadic people in the north passed through this intersection and headed south directly to plunder the property and population of the farming people during the autumn season.
Of course, this is not the only way to cross the Yin Mountains. There are other ways whether heading east or west, but this way is the best to take recently.
But now, this best road is blocked by the Han people.
Alan Yi and Lin Yinqin looked at the situation in front of them, looked at each other, and then remained silent.
People have factions. This exists no matter whether it is ancient or modern, farming or nomadic. Naturally, there are factions among the Xianbei tribe.
Tuoba Guoluo, a Xianbei force, actually had the upper hand in the entire Budugen territory. Of course, there were also some people in the east, such as Pilou, Po Liuhan and others, and some tribes, such as Nakri
Zhen is generally mainly attached to Po Liuhan.
Xiangbi Lou, Po Liuhan and others also obeyed King Bu Dugen, but regardless of the degree of favor they received and their control over the military situation, they were all inferior to Tuoba Guoluo.
Of course, the attitudes of these tribes towards the desire for these colorful worlds in the south are also different. Unlike the poor people in Mobei who are closer to the north, the attitudes of Tuoba Guoluo and Bu Dugen are basically the same.
Like but not greedy.
Because unlike those Mobei poor people in the north, the quality of life of Tuoba Guoluo and Bu Dugen is not bad, and is even better than that of ordinary Bingbei gentry. At least people like Tuoba Guoluo want to
There is no problem at all in eating meat, and this is not something that northern nobles can do every day.
Of course it is okay for Tuoba Guoluo to fight hard, but it depends on whether it is worth it...
Lin Yinqin and Alan Yi had spent a lot of time trying to figure out these things, and they had slowly figured them out.
To be honest, Lin Yinqin and Alan Yi have never been afraid of anyone in their lives. Even when they were teenagers, they were alone in hunting wolves with weapons and arrows to complete the ceremony of warriors.
Even when I fought with wolves in the dark night, holding the wolf's fangs with bloody wounds, and lying on the tree waiting for dawn, I was never afraid.
Since then, Lin Yinqin has grown up in battle after battle. Whenever a war comes, not only does he not feel afraid, but he is inexplicably excited. But now, whenever he sees the three-color flag, Lin Yinqin
Yinqin felt an inexplicable irritation in his chest, and then a burst of uneasiness.
This three-color Han military flag seemed to have left a shadow in Lin Yinqin's heart.
In fact, this march is also risky. Summer is coming soon. The war horses are obedient now, but once they start to go into heat, they cannot be controlled by humans...
If you really stay here for a long time, you will not only consume your son, but you may even lose a lot of war horses. If you go south and get a bloody head here in Yinshan this time, then the days in the future will be ruined.
It will definitely be even more difficult.
Could this Han army and horse really be his nemesis?
Lin Yinqin sat on the horse, looking at the fluttering three-color flag on the camp in front of him, silently guessing what kind of generals there would be in the camp, how many soldiers and horses there would be, and guessing what was going on between Binding and the North.
Earth, what exactly will these Han soldiers and horses do...
As for Alan Yi, his face was somewhat gloomy.
Although the Yinshan Yingzhai has not been fully constructed, and a section of the trench used to seal the mountain road is almost complete, the wall behind the trench is somewhat uneven, while the walls near the suspension bridge and the mountain are relatively complete.
, but there are two lower gaps in the middle, just like the two arcs of a long bow, which are concave downwards, which is a flaw that can be attacked...
At this moment, a Xianbei leader from Nakrizhen's army suddenly roared: "What are these Chinese dogs going to do!"
I saw a figure who looked like a Han general on the Yinshan camp, and suddenly asked someone to bring a lot of people up. Although he was far away, he could still tell that he looked like a Xianbei person based on what he was wearing...
Before the Xianbei people here could react, they saw the general above the camp wave his hand, and a row of heads fell from the wall, hit the bottom of the wall, and bounced twice on the ground.
, rolling around in a gurgling manner.
Then I saw those Han soldiers pushing the headless corpses under the camp wall, and then escorted a batch more, and then another batch of heads fell to the ground...
"Ahhhh..." a Xianbei man roared, "What are you waiting for? Go ahead and kill all these Han dogs! I, Podoluo, am willing to be the vanguard! Who will march with me!"
Immediately, several Xianbei heads roared, then pulled out their sabers and waved them in the air, venting their anger.
Krichen's troops were originally located to the north of Yinshan Xianbei, and they had some contact with the original Yinshan Xianbei. This time, they led their troops to march over the mountains and ridges to meet up. In fact, in addition to the so-called revenge for Yinshan Xianbei, they also did more
Most of them are based on the idea of first come first served. If the Han people here are defeated and driven away, then the people of the Krichen tribe will naturally move to this fertile Yinshan land...
The Krichen tribe is in the north of Yinshan Mountain and has basically never encountered any opponents. Even if there is some resistance, they are all smaller tribes than the Krichen tribe. Therefore, even if there is a war, it will be like a crushing force.
, it’s very simple. I haven’t encountered any decent opponents, let alone fought against Fei Qian’s current troops, so they are all arrogant. Now I suddenly see the Xianbei people being killed by the Han people in rows like sheep and dogs.
, how could they hold back, they all wanted to lead their troops out immediately, cross the gap in the camp that was as high as one person, and kill everyone!
However, the Huns brought by Lin Yinqin and Alan Yi were all silent with ugly expressions on their faces.
Most of the tribesmen brought by Linyinqin and Alanyi had either fought against the Han army before, or had heard from their companions. They knew why the tribes had suffered such heavy losses before. I originally thought that Mobei was the
The Xianbei people are the most tyrannical, and now it seems that these new Han people are also ruthless. They know everything about the situation in their tribe. When their integrity and vitality are severely damaged, they are now about to be caught between two powerful forces.
Among them, after this battle, it is probably an understatement to say that half of them were lost. The misery and tragedy of the future make people feel extremely sad when they think about the Huns' surrender.
Now Linyinqin and Alanyi no longer have the heroic spirit before. After being tortured repeatedly, the current tribe can only be regarded as a small tribe. For the nomadic people who follow the laws of the grassland, the strength of the tribe is the guarantee of status. Now
This little strength can no longer withstand consumption...
Seeing the Han people beheading the captured Xianbei people cleanly, they all knew that this was a demonstration by the Han people. Needless to say, there would definitely be a tough battle next, and the only remaining people of their own tribe were the surrounding ones. If it were a male
After they were all exhausted and dead, who knew how many malicious guys were hanging around outside the tribal tents in Xianbei all day long, just waiting for the opportunity to take a serious bite.
So there is no need for Lin Yinqin and Alan Yiduo to say anything, and there is no need to give any hints. Basically all the Xiongnu descendants have the same idea, just mix up if you can, and let your own people take a breath, don't
Go and die again...
But the more they feared, the more they grew. Seeing that the Han people could not reach or hit them for a while, the Xianbei people turned their heads and saw the Huns standing quietly and without any expression, and they immediately transferred their anger.
, when they saw Lin Yinqin and Alan Yi, both of them remained silent. The Xianbei people on the side looked down upon them, and even the words they spoke suddenly didn’t sound very nice...
"Hey, what the hell, don't they say you are brave? Look at what you look like now, you look like a stripped girl!"
"Last time you guys were defeated by Han dogs here, now is the time to restore your reputation! But now that Han dogs are right in front of you, you still dare not move one by one. Don't say anything like us in the future.
Warriors on the prairie!"
"Little King Tuoba really misjudged the wrong person. This time we go south, our troops should be the main force. It's useless to ask these weaklings to follow us!"
Linyinqin and Alanyi remained sullen and silent, while the Xianbei people spoke louder and louder, even booing, which did not give these Huns any dignity at all.
At this moment, Tuyuhun, the Xianbei general who was in charge of temperance and was present, saw that the situation was getting more and more chaotic, so he frowned and shouted: "Enough!"
Most Xianbei people eat more blood food than the Han people, and in a bitterly cold place, relatively speaking, people with larger bodies and more fat can withstand the cold better, so most of them have stronger bodies, and this is especially true for Tuyuhun.
At the moment, he looks like he is probably in his thirties, which is the most powerful age in life. His whole body is full of muscles, and he is more than half a head taller than ordinary Xianbei people. He is very hairy, and he really looks like a man.
A short-haired black bear.
Such a person is naturally very brave, so his prestige is naturally very high. He shouted, and the Xianbei people under his command quickly stopped talking and waited for Tuyuhun to speak one by one.
Tuyuhun ignored them, glanced around a few times with his cold eyes, and then said solemnly: "There is a gap on one side, no one can fight...Alanyi, if you send a thousand-man team, then Kili will also send a thousand-man team."
Once the team is formed, we can begin to attack the camp... Whether we are a hero on the grassland is not just a matter of words! We are fighting with swords and guns! I personally supervise the battle, but I want to see who is the real hero!"
"Okay!" Nakril shouted, slapping his chest, "Let's compare, no one in our tribe is a coward!"
Alanyi and Linyinqin looked at each other, then lowered their heads: "...obey the order."
……………………
About a hundred miles away from the leading troops of Tuyuhun, there was a small abandoned military fortress, and Tuoba Guoluo was marching here with the remaining troops.
This kind of small military fortress built in the north of Yinshan Mountain has a very limited area. At most, it can only accommodate a hundred-man garrison. In many cases, it only serves as a forward beacon warning. As for counterattack and frontal combat, that is
The Han people originally garrisoned the Yinshan Mountains behind.
These small military fortresses were built one after another as early as the Qin Dynasty, when General Meng Tian attacked the Xiongnu in the north. They were part of a strategic system that integrated offense and defense. Later, they were abandoned due to various reasons.
During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, it was rebuilt and repaired one after another and put into use.
However, with the passing of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, these military fortresses once again fell into disuse until today.
This military fortress is built with stone wall foundations, and then the soil is heavily tamped, and green bricks are laid on the outside. Basically, the craftsmanship of the Qin Dynasty in this era is still equivalent to the high standard, even if it is a hundred years old
Despite the wind and rain, there is still no problem with these solid walls, but the places where the green bricks have fallen off are seriously damaged...
Of course, there is no big problem in pitching a tent under it and using the stone wall to avoid wind and rain.
In the temporary camp, Tuoba Guoluo naturally couldn't pay too much attention to it. There was no such thing as exquisite barbecue. He just made a boiled meat in plain water. At most, it was just for Tuoba Guoluo's bowl.
Some seasonings and so on. As for other Xianbei people, of course they don't have such treatment.
Meat is quite good if you have a mouthful to eat it. These ordinary Xianbei soldiers don't understand at all what it means to eat fine food without getting tired of it. Therefore, even if the boiled meat is half-cooked and there is some semi-solidified blood when chewed, these Xianbei people
He didn't pay much attention to it, and still devoured it with great enthusiasm.
These Xianbei people are all stout men, and they make a lot of noise when chewing things. In addition, they slurp their mouths, suck blood, water and grease, and make unpleasant chewing sounds, accompanied by the smell of half-cooked mutton spreading in the air.
The fishy smell, mixed with the thick and incomparable rancid smell brought out by these Xianbei people who have not bathed for many years, is simply an unparalleled biochemical weapon in the world.
Tuoba Guoluo took a few bites of the half-cooked mutton with some seasoning, and then held the bowl without any appetite. He had been waiting for Bu Dugen's reply, although he generally had a plan for the battle in his mind.
, but for now, the troops sent out previously were just a feigned attack force to hide from others. Only after Bu Dugen's final decision comes will it truly represent the beginning of Tuoba Guoluo's military operation...
Tuoba Guoluo was speechless as he looked at the few pale white sheep bones that had been abandoned on the ground, with their flesh gnawed away and still stained with blood.
Attacking the Yinshan Fortress is like chewing a bone without any flesh. It is hard and immovable. Even if it is smashed to pieces, how much oil can be absorbed?
Yinshan Xianbei.
Damn Yinshan Xianbei.
Incompetent guys should die! They shouldn’t live in this world, and they shouldn’t pollute the pastures of Xianbei!
Revenge for the incompetent guy?
Hehehehe, are you thinking too much?
Now Xianbei's biggest enemy is not the Han people in Yinshan, or even the Han Dynasty in the Central Plains, but Kebineng in the northeast...
As for Ke Bineng, this guy obviously knows better about forbearance and planning than Du Genlai.
Now we are rushing here with our troops to avenge these stupid, incompetent, trash-like Yinshan Xianbei, and what is Kebi doing?
This guy is constantly annexing smaller grassland tribes to the east!
What does this look like? It's like we are gnawing bones, while the damn Kebineng is eating meat!
Tuoba Guoluo glanced at the guards who were devouring their food, then handed the cold wooden bowl to the guards beside him, and said calmly: "I'm not hungry now, you guys share these.
Bar……"
These personal guards were also honest people. They were not polite at all when they heard the words. They immediately came up and took the wooden bowls respectfully, and then gathered together to share the food.
Tuoba Guoluo felt that Bu Dugen did not have the temperament of a hero, but he had to follow Bu Dugen, because this was not something he could decide alone. At least within his tribe, there were still many people who would choose Bu Dugen.
Dugen worshiped like a god. Therefore, Tuoba Guoluo could only help Budugen as much as possible, so that the strength of the entire central Xianbei could compete with Kebineng's eastern Xianbei.
Tuoba Guoluo strolled out of this small military fortress that was half tilted, and then stood on the rock on the side of the mountain with his hands behind his back, the late night breeze blowing his robes.
I wish I could meet the Xianbei King Tan Shihuai!
Just as Tuoba Guoluo looked up at the sky and was galloping away, he heard the sound of horse hoofs in the distance. When he turned around, he saw several Xianbei knights coming on horseback. Looking at these knights
Tuoba Guoluo's heart moved at the sight of his vigorous skills on horseback.
Although the Xianbei people are all men on horseback, these strong men like iron towers are somewhat different. The long-tailed eagle feathers inserted in the bone rings on their heads are fluttering in the wind, indicating their identities.
This is Budugen’s personal guard!
Tuoba Guoluo couldn't help but smile. It seemed that King Bu Dugen had finally made a decision...
