On Bingyin in August of the 13th year of Yanxing, the Western Army once again took advantage of the night to leave camp. This night, the waning moon was still like a hook, but what was different from the last night was that the night sky was cloudless, and the stars were so bright that the dome curtain
It is slightly purple, so that people can actually see the shadows under their feet, which inexplicably gives the Westerners courage, as if there are twice or even three times as many colleagues walking with them.
According to the previous plan, the entire army was divided into two parts, one was the cavalry led by Liu Bei, and the other was the infantry led by Chen Chong. Chen Chong led the infantry first and did not cover up his tracks. The army held the battle with open fire, like a line in the dark night.
The fiery dragon followed the route of the last battle and walked from the south bank of Wenying Lake with great momentum. The Eastern scouts were shocked when they saw it, and they immediately galloped away to Dongying.
However, this was just a cover-up for the cavalry surprise attack.
After all the infantry troops left the camp, Liu Bei waited for a while. When the infantry team had dimmed, he personally rode his horse to the north. There was no need to blow trumpets or drums, all the knights were ready to go. As soon as Liu Bei moved, they would wave.
The whip followed closely, flowing out of the camp like a stream.
The cavalry did not hold their fire, and the team marched in four brisk columns. Under the guidance of Xinghan, they quietly swam across the Wuchuan Xin River in the north of the city, and then quickly entered a dense forest in Erquan on the north side of Wenying Lake.
Within a few miles, a majestic mountain suddenly rose from the ground, occupying the eyes of the Westerners. They saw that its north extended to the sky, and the end of the mountain was far away. Its majestic momentum was like an ancient giant, and they suddenly felt heartbroken.
Be in awe.
Liu Bei knew that he had arrived at the foot of Baishan Mountain, so he ordered the whole army to take a rest. While everyone was eating, he quickly summoned Duan Xuan and said: "When I campaigned in Guandong, Yanmen was under your jurisdiction. Later, you
After going to Kanto to fight fires for several years, do you still remember the dangerous terrain and dangerous roads on Baishan Mountain?"
Thirty thousand cavalry suddenly charged into the formation, and the momentum was difficult to cover up. Therefore, Chen Chong and Liu Bei planned to order Duan Yan to lead 4,000 light cavalry to approach and suddenly attack the camp. If successful, the army would follow and march into the formation. If not, they would use
As a sign of faith, the whole army went straight to the camp. This was what was said to Duan Yan before the war. Duan Yan was well prepared and said with a smile: "General, don't worry, although Duan Yan is old, he still knows the way!"<
/p>
When he said these words, Liu Bei suddenly remembered that Duan Yan was already in his sixties. But now Duan Yan is still energetic and his hair is still dark, just like his bright eyes.
After Duan Zhen's men gathered together, he picked a very narrow and steep road from the mountain that was covered with thorns. At first glance in the night, a few pale and ferocious rocks protruded from the shadow of the shrubs, which seemed completely impossible to walk.
But the Westerners rode their horses in and out, just like antelopes walking, and they could always find one or two places to stay when they were in poverty. The Westerners who stayed behind originally thought that they would walk for a long time, but unexpectedly, in just two-quarters of an hour, the light cavalry's
The back figure has completely melted into the mountains.
At this time, Liu Bei's army also began to continue climbing up. However, their direction was simply upward. Everyone bundled long silk bows, arrows, armors and other items together, carried them in groups, and wrapped the horse reins around their waists.
, and then climbed up the gap where the mountain stream rushed out, and walked forward. The higher they went, the sparser the trees were, and the wider the field of vision became. When they reached a mountain ridge full of gray rocks,
We stopped here, looking north and waiting for the signal.
I don't know how long it had passed, but a choking smell of burning straw drifted over. Someone shouted: "There's a fire in front, Duan Dudu is on the way!" Everyone hurriedly braced themselves to look, and saw three people on a hilltop opposite.
A fire was swaying and burning. On the slopes below the fire, a roaring and wailing sound could be heard, and the crows in the mountains flew up in overwhelming numbers, croaking in the air.
Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately ordered the horns to be blown. The soldiers immediately mounted their horses without lighting the torches, and then the afterglow of the stars rushed downwards, even though many people were scratched by branches and fell to the ground in the air.
, but more people took advantage of the situation and rushed into the Xianbei camp.
At this time, there was a blazing fire in the camp, accompanied by countless shouts of killing, as if a dark cloud rushed over, shouting at the Westerners who were killing them: "Kill the thieves! Kill the thieves!" Then arrows shot towards them like locusts.
The Xianbei people who rushed over shot them down like mowing grass. A smooth road was easily cleared, and Zhang Fei, Liu Bao, and Xu Huang's troops rushed in together.
The Western Army's attack was so smooth, of course, thanks to Duan Yan. When he led his troops to appear on the west side of the Xianbei camp, the Xianbei people were unprepared. Because of his sudden charge, he penetrated the entire camp, making the Xianbei people unprepared.
It was divided into three parts that could not be communicated. Later, Duan Xu burned two stables in the Xianbei camp. For a while, the unbridled horses were frightened by the fire, neighing and running wild in the camp. The Xianbei people around them were affected by it.
Disturbed, order has not been restored for a long time.
The Han army galloped back and forth, shuttling back and forth between the camps like a swimming dragon, while the Xianbei people around them were like schools of fish. If anyone tried to gather a crowd to resist, the Westerners would immediately mobilize heavy troops to besiege them and quickly defeat them, but
They did not pursue a deep pursuit. All the veterans knew that in this battle, the enemy was outnumbered and it was impossible to completely annihilate the opponent. As long as the entire Xianbei army remained in a state of disintegration, it would be enough to achieve the purpose of this battle.
Gradually, the Western cavalry was divided into six formations and rolled back and forth, killing the enemy when they encountered it. In order to save their lives, the stunned Xianbei people had no intention of fighting and fled one after another. At this time, Chang Xi's infantry also arrived at the right time.
They arrived, formed a strong formation like ants, and slowly advanced from south to north. Seeing this, the Xianbei people suddenly rolled back like a bead curtain, and the stream seemed to rush north.
Tuoba Liwei joined the battle last and fought with most of his troops for a while, but failed to win a few heads. This made him frustrated and he couldn't help but stand on his horse and thought to himself: I was originally a Shanyu of Tuoba Xianbei, but now I follow the generals.
The general has been a general for more than ten years but has not made any great achievements. How can he restore the country in the future?

Thinking of this, he found a high place and looked around at the changes in the situation in the Xianbei camp. It could be seen that among the Xianbei rebels, there was still a stable position on the mountainside in the northwest. There were about hundreds of Xianbei soldiers and generals there.
The baggage trailers in the middle formed a semicircle, and the horses were tied in the middle. Then they kept firing arrows at the Westerners while waving and shouting to the soldiers passing by.
Gradually, the collapsed crowd seemed to have a core. Even though most people still fled northward, many defeated soldiers gathered back together, and soon there were more than a thousand people. p>
Tuoba Liwei saw this and said to his entourage: "With such a chaotic situation, no one but nobles can gather troops. If we can capture them alive, this battle can be said to be a complete victory." So he ordered a hundred elite cavalry, drove Xianbei's defeated troops and headed towards
Run there.
And this is indeed where Kebineng's main formation is. Seeing that one hundred thousand troops were defeated overnight, Kebineng felt horrified and regretful in his heart. Then he sighed to Marquis Juluo: "The Westerners don't know how to repay me, but they force me to do so."
That's it!" But the matter has come to this, words are useless, all he can do is to gather the defeated troops.
At this time, Tuoba Liwei and his troops came over and marched into the formation without hesitation. Kebi Neng thought that he was surrounded by men, so he yelled and cursed: "Where did you come from, a blind man? People like this dare to come and die."
?" Then he named the two bravest generals around him, Kushangguan Puhui and Daxiwumuchen stepped forward to fight.
However, Tuoba Liwei was not afraid at all. He ordered his clan brothers Tuoba Gutu and Tuoba Shifei to ride forward and fight with the two cavalry. He led the crowd to the side with a big sword and killed those who wanted to come up to support.
The Xianbei soldiers were wiped out one by one. Since many Xianbei people were not wearing armor, Tuoba Liwei was able to swing his sword like flying, almost one at a time, and cut down more than a dozen people in a row, causing the Xianbei people to retreat continuously.
The Westerners behind saw them and drew their swords together and rushed forward to help. Tuoba Liwei became very murderous. No matter what he encountered, he would chop people or horses into pieces. There were dozens of them on the knife edge.
When he saw the gap, he stopped and put the tip of the knife down on the ground, leaning against the horse to catch his breath. The defeated soldiers around him who were trying to get closer to Kebineng saw Tuoba Liwei blocking the intersection, his whole body covered in blood splattered red,
He was glaring like a fierce god. Looking at the terrifying scene of dead bodies on the pillow, he was so frightened that he quickly walked away.
After fighting for a while, it was already dark, and a hazy mist rose between the sky and the earth. But there was light in the east. It was obvious that the sun had come out and it would be a sunny day. Many Xianbei people also fled to the north under the bright light.
Go. After all, the Xianbei people were outnumbered. After dawn, a large number of defeated troops had already broken out of the blockade, so that the Westerners could not meet them head-on. Therefore, Zhang Fei and Xu Huang took turns following and chasing and killing Xianbei corpses along the road.
, the casualties are countless.
Kebineng finally knew that the situation was over. The entanglement between Mingming and Tuoba Liwei had not yet concluded, but he could not stay here any longer. He rode on a red castrated stallion and found a shield to carry on his back.
Behind him, dozens of horsemen led by Ju Luohou gathered around him, and they all galloped towards the north. Someone shouted: "The bandit chief has broken through!" Some rode horses to chase him, or they scrambled to pick up arrows and shoot at him.
The loss was like a torrential rain, and the knights guarding the flanks fell from their horses like falling leaves.
The Xianbei knights who had not left, in order to cover Ke Bineng, fired arrows at the Westerners like crazy to attract the attention of the Westerners. The Westerners faced the arrow feathers, drew arrows and shot at each other. In just a few rounds, Yu built a trap and Ku humiliated him.
When the official returned, Da Xiwu, Muchen and others were all shot in vital parts and died.
At this point, it was already daybreak, and the fire in the Xianbei camp was gradually dying down. Liu Bei sat on a boulder to rest. He felt that the wound on his back was aching, but after drinking two sips of cold water, it felt better. So he stood up
Scanning the mountains: in the dark smoke, there are exhausted sergeants everywhere, layers of corpses, scattered and abandoned horses and armor, and nearly 10,000 Xianbei prisoners. It was impossible to concentrate for a while.
He breathed a sigh of relief. The first plan of the battle had been a great success, and the next step was to see whether Cao Cao was ambushed.
