Chapter 228 Wuhuan Xianbei
When the battle in Qingzhou was in full swing, the more chaotic Youzhou in the north also had a more tragic battle.

Youzhou is the northernmost state in the Han territory.Outside of Youzhou is the prairie occupied by the Wuhuan in the west of Liaoning and the Xianbei in the east.

The grassland people live on nomads. In autumn, when the water source dries up and the pastures turn yellow, it is difficult for the Hu people to graze.

Their backward production methods are even more unsustainable in the cold winter.

Therefore, every autumn, the Hu people would go south to invade the border counties of the Han people, trying to snatch the grain and grass supplies for the winter from the Han people.

And Youzhou is the most serious place among them.

A few days ago, Changli County of Youzhou was once again invaded by the Hu army and was defeated. The prefect immediately asked the White Horse General Gongsun Zan for help.

Gongsun Zan was furious when he heard the news, and immediately ordered Shi Guanjing, General Yan Gang and others to stay behind in Youbeiping County and Liaoxi County.

This time it was the coalition forces of Wuhuan and Xianbei who attacked Changli County.

These two tribes are both nomads, and the law of the jungle on the grasslands is many times more cruel than that of the big men. There has long been a rift between the two tribes, but now they have nowhere to go. It is difficult for them alone to resist Gongsun Zan's attack, so they can only Let go of your hatred and join forces to invade.

On Wuhuan's side, the leader of the army was Tadun, the disciple of Lord Wuhuan Qiu Liju.

Tadun is a well-known fierce general among the Wuhuan clan. This time he led Nanlou, Su Buyan, Wuyan and other fierce generals with ten thousand elite troops. They were all excellent cavalry who could mount horses and shoot.

It was also not Tan Shihuai himself who led the army on the Xianbei side, but Kuokou Timur, a fierce general who has sprung up recently among the Xianbei people.

Kuo Kuo Temur was also the No.1 general when Dian Wei entered the army.

During this period of time, he grew and developed extremely fast. He is a well-known young general with both wisdom and courage in Xianbei in the east. Now he leads the Xianbei fierce general Yatu and [-] elite cavalry, and he is also stationed outside Changli County.

"General Wang, Gongsun Zan's white horse Yicong is coming now. It is said that there are [-] troops. Although there are [-] cavalry on both sides, we may not be his opponents."

Outside Changli County, where the Wuhuan and Xianbei armies camped, Tadun looked at Wang Baobao and said worriedly.

Kuo Kuo Timur loved the Han culture of the Central Plains since he was a child, so he gave himself a Han name called Wang Baobao.

Wang Baobao smiled and said disapprovingly: "Prince Tadun, why should you be so worried? I don't know how powerful Gongsun Zan's white horse righteousness is, especially since there are two big men named Zhao Yun and Fu Yanqing in his army. The fierce generals did not let me wait to suffer less. But today is different from the past, the Han people themselves are in civil turmoil, and our chance has come."

The Fu Yanqing that Wang Baobao was talking about was also a fierce general who had invaded by Dian Wei. Now he was serving as Zhao Yun's lieutenant general. The two teamed up to beat the Hu people to pieces, and they were very famous among the Hu people in Youzhou.

"What do you mean by that?" Tadun raised his eyes and immediately felt that Wang Baobao was hiding something from him.

"Prince Tudun only needs to know that our Xianbei and Wuhuan clans are not the only ones fighting Gongsun Zan this time. Our task is to attract Gongsun Zan's ten thousand white horse followers here. Naturally, there will be surprise soldiers to let us in." Gongsun Zan's rear is in chaos." Wang Baobao said slowly, picking up a glass of kumiss.

"Really? Then I'll wait to see what you mentioned as a surprise soldier. But our son of Wuhuan is suffering from idleness. Fuli County is not far ahead. Let's go to have fun first."

Tadun finished speaking.He didn't even listen to Wang Baobao's reply, so he led his subordinate Erlang to leave.

"Hmph, Qiu Liju's servant, isn't that all?" Wang Baobao put down his wine glass, looked at the back of Ta Dun leaving, his eyes were full of contempt.

"Prince, Wang Baobao must be hiding something from us. Why didn't the prince question him just now?" After Ta Dun led the army to leave, Su Puyan asked in confusion.

"Ask? Will he tell me if I ask?" Tadun reined in his horse, turned his head to look at Su Puyan and asked.

"It was not my wish to join hands with the Xianbei this time, and this Wang Baobao is as powerful and scheming as the Han. Food, wealth, beauties, and slaves for winter, and other things have nothing to do with us."

"As for Wang Baobao, he probably colluded with the Han people. The Han people have always been difficult to deal with. Wang Baobao wanted to take advantage of the Han people's infighting to gain some advantage, but he didn't know that the Han people were also using his soldiers to consume Gongsun Zan's strength."

Ta Dun looked at the gradually clear Fuli County in the distance, waved his horsewhip, and led the Wuhuan elite soldiers to surround it.

After Gongsun Zan led the troops to Changli County, he also had some doubts about the Hu people's siege but not attack. This was completely different from their previous style of grabbing all the time and searching hard. He had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Zilong, you and Marquis Guan lead three thousand white horses to test it out. I always feel that something bad is going to happen, and there may be a conspiracy hidden in it."

"My lord, don't worry, Guanhou and I will go back as soon as we go." Zhao Yun glanced at Fu Yanqing, and the two of them took the command and immediately went down to lead the troops to Fuli County.

"Han people, listen, this time we came here to borrow food, as long as you open the city gates and hand over the food and grass, we prince Tadun will let you go! Otherwise, it will be the same as usual, when the city is broken, it will be fun to slaughter the city! "

Outside Fuli County, Tadun has led troops to surround the small town.However, he did not rush to order the soldiers to attack the city, but took time to send people to call for surrender.

"Hmph, Hu Gou, don't be wishful thinking, fight if you want to fight, I, son of Youzhou, am I a man who is greedy for life and afraid of death..."

"Whoops~" A sharp arrow came through the air. Before the Han soldier could finish speaking, he was shot in the head and died.

Downstairs, Ta Dun was holding a strong bow in his hand, and the bowstring was still trembling. He curled his lips and said disdainfully: "The Han people's siege methods are just useless. Boys, kill me!"

"Kill!" Wuhuan soldiers all rode their horses forward, and began to swim around the city wall and shoot arrows.Immediately, a rain of arrows covering the sky and the sun filled the city.

The Hu people are all cavalry, not good at siege, and now they don't carry siege equipment.

However, when they attacked a small town like Fuli, they only needed to keep shooting arrows to achieve good results.

The rain of arrows came densely, and most of the soldiers of the Han army on the top of the city were shot to death in an instant. The walls of the city were full of sharp arrows that had penetrated deeply into the earth and rocks. The rain of arrows destroyed most of Fuli's defense in an instant.

"It's time to enter the city." Tadun put away his bow and arrow, held a big knife, and loudly ordered Su Puyan and others beside him.

"Boys, go to town and have fun!"
