Unparalleled Concubine

…………

In the evening, three thousand cavalry set off from the camp one after another. Li Xin and Ye Mao led the way. Li Xin, who was sitting on a big horse, looked back at the three thousand soldiers behind him, and said in a deep voice, "This place is far away from beggars. Guibu, it’s only about fifty miles away, so you must arrive before midnight without delay!”

"Anyone you meet along the way, kill them on the spot!"

It was difficult to distinguish friend from foe at night, and there were probably many people from the Qigui tribe patrolling nearby at this time. As long as they met someone on the road, it was unlikely to kill the wrong person with a single knife.

After all, there is no nightlife in this era. If you wander around the grasslands without sleeping in the middle of the night, there must be something wrong.

Ye Mao was the first to nod in agreement, and shouted loudly: "Little general, obey the general's order!"

3000 people rushed towards the tribe of the Qigui tribe.

At about Haishi, 3000 people had already arrived near the Qigui tribe, but at this time, there were patrolling Xianbei people everywhere near the Qigui tribe. Bow, look around.

These prairie people have dealt with horses all their lives, and Jin people know how to listen to the ground. horses running on the meadow.

Therefore, even at night, the whereabouts of Li Xin and others cannot be concealed. Li Xin did not want to hide anything. !"

The [-] cavalry were all from the Forbidden Army. Although they were infantry before, they were very disciplined. After hearing Li Xin's order, they immediately rode their horses and rushed in the direction of the Qigui Department.

When encountering Qigui tribesmen holding torches along the way, they were all hacked and killed on the spot!

At the same time, the Qigui Department also began to fight back.

Regardless of the clansmen who were still on the outskirts, they began to bow and shoot arrows in the direction of Li Xin. Clusters of arrows rained down on Li Xin and others' team immediately, and many forbidden soldiers died under the arrows.

But after all, it is night, which is a huge weakening for the archers, and the formation of these forbidden troops is relatively scattered. After a few rounds of formation, they can only shoot down more than 100 people immediately. When these Xianbei people have to bend their bows again , Ye Mao, who took the lead, had already rushed in front of them!

Ye Mao held a spear in his hand, and with one sweep, several Xianbei men in their forties were thrown to the ground. Their bones were broken, their tendons were broken, and they did not know whether they were alive or dead!

Of course, there are not many strong men like Ye Mao, and most of the soldiers who rushed to the front of the Qigui army with him did not choose Ye Mao to do so. When they were more than ten meters away from the Qigui army, they stopped by coincidence Get down, and then take out a blue clay pot from your waist, light it with a torch, and throw it at the defense line of the Qigui Department headquarters from a distance!

Dozens of "Sky Thunder" exploded in the formation of the Qi Gui Department in an instant!

At this time, the remaining members of the Qigui Department were not young and strong. Most of them were young people in their 50th and [-]th years and seniors in their [-]s and [-]s. Their military qualities were generally not high. As soon as dozens of earth bombs exploded, the formation immediately became chaotic, and was blasted open by these dozens of sky thunders!

At this time, dozens of cavalry guards rushed into the camp of the Qigui Ministry along this opening!

Before coming, each of the [-] forbidden soldiers received a thunder from Li Xin. Although they couldn't shoot arrows on the horse, it was obviously not difficult to light the fire on the horse.

Ever since, in a moment, in the camp of the Qigui Department, there was a roar of thunder and thunder, and dozens of hundreds of thunders exploded in the headquarters of the Qigui Department!

So many thunders immediately set off open flames. From the moment the imperial army rushed into battle, the headquarters of the Qigui Department caught fire in no time. Many old people and children were injured by the thunder and lay on the ground crying!

Chapter 1008

The Xianbei people are nomadic people, and basically every household can herd horses and herd sheep. When they go to war, they usually ride the horses they have raised since they were young. Such horses can be used as war horses without training.

The racecourse is a place to raise horses on a large scale and train war horses. Because every household raises horses, Xianbei people do not need horse farms. In the first ten or twenty years, horse farms could only be set up in places with fertile water and grass, so as to increase the number of horses as soon as possible.

Now that more than 40 years have passed, the number of horses of the Xianbei people is already large enough, but the horse farms established decades ago have not been revoked. The four divisions of Yuwen each have horse farms, and the horse farms of the Qigui Department are relatively small, with only a few thousand horses. There are four or five horse farms in the Wang Tent of the headquarters, and a total of [-] to [-] horses are raised.

Taking advantage of the emptiness of the Qigui tribe, Li Xin dispersed the Qigui tribe's team with just one face-to-face, but the Qigui tribe is not a particularly small tribe. He still has 3000 to [-] tribesmen in the tribe. The soldiers who dispersed them, if they continued to fight, [-] people were not enough to see in front of these Xianbei people who had bows and crossbows in every family.

So after Li Xin took advantage, he immediately ordered to retreat.

Hundreds of sky thunders were thrown down, at least thousands of people in the Qigui Department were injured. This is not inside the pass. Inside the pass, there are spirits to sterilize and doctors to treat. Outside the pass, no matter what the wound is, you have to rely on your own body to fight it. , Even if it is scratched by the pottery fragments of Tianlei, it may lose its life due to tetanus.

Moreover, Li Xin ordered to set fires everywhere. It was already autumn and winter, and the fire would spread quickly. In this way, the casualties of the Qigui tribe might reach 2000 people, or even more.

More importantly, the young and strong men of the Qigui tribe have been transferred away by Yu Wenzhao. The tribal fighters who came out to fight Li Xin today are the last ones who can fight in the Qigui tribe. Except for these people, the rest Basically old and young.

The last remaining combat power of the Qigui Department was greatly damaged, and they would definitely think of calling back the ten thousand youths that Yu Wenzhao had transferred away...

Three thousand cavalry is a lot less, but it is not too much. It is still very flexible to retreat. Only half an hour after Li Xin gave the order, these cavalry were completely withdrawn from the Qigui Ministry. Led by the middle-aged man, they ran towards Qiguibu's horse farm.

At this time, it was already early morning, and the moonlight spread down, dimly illuminating the road ahead.

Ye Mao followed Li Xin on horseback, and sighed: "Master, we managed to get close to the Qigui Department, and we fought for more than half an hour. My hands didn't even warm up, so I withdrew. It's really uncomfortable. Good deal."

Ye Gongye glanced at Li Xin, and then continued: "Just now the defense line of the Qigui tribe was directly blasted by... the sky thunder, I will fight in, let alone beat the Qigui tribe to the point of annihilation, at least let them die A total of 2 people!"

Li Xin sat on the horse, looked back at Ye Mao, and said calmly: "It was only half an hour ago, and we lost three to four hundred lives at the Qigui tribe. Almost all of these Xianbei people are good at shooting. If we keep fighting, we will all become hedgehogs in a short time."

Ye Mao scratched his head and continued to ask: "Then what are we going to do at the racecourse?"

"Go get some food, and then rob the horses from the racecourse."

Speaking of this, Li Xin squinted his eyes and chuckled: "One beggar department is not enough, and next is the Helan department. If we can get rid of the Helan department again, there will be conflicts among the Yuwen departments. Yu Wenzhao will also withdraw from Jimen Pass ahead of schedule."

The total number of the Yuwen Ministry is only one million people. This time, Yu Wenzhao has assembled close to 20 troops near Jizhou, which is calculated based on a household of five, which means that each household has already dispatched one People go to war, this scale of conscription is absolutely impossible in the pass.

It is quite difficult to collect one out of ten, or even one in twenty.

The reason why the Yuwen Ministry was able to achieve this scale was because everyone did not have food to eat and had to go to Dajin to grab it; The department contributes.

But... that's where it ends.

Sooner or later, they will obediently exit Jimen Pass and return to the outside.

There is no way, tyrannical combat power may allow one side to win two wars in one war, but this kind of war that has risen to the level of national warfare will ultimately be fought not in combat power, but in population, national power and financial power.

These determine the extent to which the war can be fought and how long it will last.

With the current capabilities of the Yuwen tribes, after they take Jimen Pass, even if Da Jin does not make any resistance, they are just grabbing more food and people in northern Xinjiang, and they will naturally retreat outside the pass when they grab enough Digesting this wealth is unlikely to threaten the country and society of the Jin Dynasty.

It is also for this reason that the capital is not particularly interested in the situation in the northern border, because no matter whether it is the emperor of Weiyang Palace or the prime minister of Shangshutai, they all know that no matter how fierce the disturbance is in the north, it is nothing more than more deaths in the north Ordinary people cannot threaten the country and society of the Great Jin Dynasty.

And the rebel army in the southwest that can fight against the forbidden army is a real threat!

The chaos in the north can be sorted out slowly when you have free time in the future, but the situation in the southwest cannot be delayed for a day!

Of course, if the imperial court does not stop it, the Yuwen Department will grow rapidly after this incident. After that, if it can enter the customs frequently, ten or even decades later, the Yuwen Zhou who once rode the Central Plains will very likely be Repeat again.

Ye Mao followed behind Li Xin, frowning.

He said: "Uncle, the Helan tribe is the largest tribe other than Yuwenzhao's tent, let alone 3000 people, even if we have more than 1 people going together, it is unlikely to pose any threat to the Helan tribe... ..."

The Helan tribe is a large tribe with a population of close to 30. Although Yu Wenzhao has dispatched more than 3 strong people, the tribe still has tens of thousands of combat power. Li Xin wants to deal with the Helan tribe like he did with Yu Wenzhao , is almost impossible.

Li Xin rubbed his temples, and then slowly said: "Yu Wenzhao put in a lot of effort to take down Jimen Pass, and his king's account has at least 10 people, and now the king's account is extremely weak."

The Marquis of Jing'an said calmly while riding a horse: "Yu Wenzhao is a member of the royal family of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, but the Northern Zhou Dynasty has been exterminated for more than 40 years. Two, then there is no reason not to want to be the boss."

"If you grasp this idea, it will be easy to find a breakthrough. At most, the imperial court will give the Helan tribe a king."

The two walked and talked.
