The Bingzhou Army defeated Murong Xianbei in the first battle of the Northern Expedition and regained Shuofang County in one fell swoop. The morale of the army was greatly improved. After cleaning the battlefield, we learned that more than 80,000 Xianbei cavalry were beheaded in this battle, and only a thousand of our own were killed. This was another great victory. Lu Bu ordered the soldiers who died in the battle to be buried and registered in a register for future compensation for their relatives. The severed heads of Xianbei people were piled together to form a view in Beijing.

The Dugu, Tuoba, and Yuwen clans were also shocked when they heard the news that the Murong clan had been wiped out. With the same force, only 20,000 remnant soldiers fled back in less than an hour. None of the leaders and nobles of the Murong clan survived.

Ever since the hero Shanyu Tanshihuai unified all Xianbei tribes, the Xianbei cavalry has never suffered such a defeat. Even the Xiongnu, who have dominated the grasslands for hundreds of years, are no match for Xianbei. What kind of existence is this Han army? Could it be that they are all Avatar?

The three clan leaders were speechless at the moment. After a long while, Yu Wenqi broke the silence, "It seems that the combat power of this Han army is extraordinary. I'm afraid that our three major clans combined will not be able to defeat them." I have a plan for my opponent."

Tuoba Wei and Dugu Ba asked, "What's your plan? Tell it quickly, don't wait too long."

"The next target of the Han army's attack must be Yunzhong County. There is a place fifty miles away from Yunzhong County called Pocket Valley. It got its name because it is shaped like a pocket. We can set up an ambush there in advance and then make a surprise attack at night. At the Han army’s camp, we lured them into our army’s encirclement in the dark, and then encircled and annihilated the Han army.” Yu Wenqi explained that he had done a lot of research on the book “The Art of War” that the Han people were proud of.

Dugu Ba then recommended himself, "Leave it to me to attack the Han army at night. The Dugu people are all good horsemen and archers, and they can severely damage the Han army in the dark."

"Okay, since the leader of the Dugu tribe has taken on this important task, the matter of setting up an ambush will be left to my Yuwen and Tuoba tribes. As long as my three tribes work together, the Han army will be defeated." Yu Wenqi poured three bowls of mare's milk wine and talked with Dugu Ba , Tuoba Wei drank together.

In the Han army camp, Lu Bu discussed the next battle strategy with the generals. Both Hou Cheng and Song Xian advocated taking advantage of the victory to pursue the victory and capture Yunzhong County in one fell swoop.

Cao Xing put forward a different view, "Our army is all cavalry, which is good for field battles, not siege. We should compete with the Xianbei army on the plains."

Lu Bu also thought the same thing, but Xianbei had just experienced a major defeat, and he was afraid that there would not be a big battle between the two sides in a short time.

During the day, the battle was fierce and the soldiers were tired. Lu Bu ordered the slaughter of a hundred injured Xianbei horses, and improved the food for the soldiers. With the aroma of the horse meat under the bonfire, he sprinkled fine salt with it, and the state army had a delicious meal. Entered dreamland.

Lu Bu also took off his clothes and lay down on the bed. At this time, he was a little annoyed. If he had brought Wang Yi and Dong Yuan with him, the long night would not be so lonely. They were originally going to go out with the army, but because of Yan Danchen and Dong Yuan, When Yi You was happy, Lu Bu arranged for Wang Yi, Dong Yuan and Dong Bai to take care of him. I wonder if they are pregnant with a son? Lu Bu was thinking about what to name the child.

There was a lot of noise outside the camp, it was an enemy attack! Lu Bu reacted immediately, quickly put on his battle armor, took the Fangtian Huaji, and walked out of the tent. At this time, the Han army's camp was in a mess.

The Xianbei cavalry and the Bingzhou cavalry fought together. The combat power of this Xianbei cavalry was different from that of the daytime cavalry. Their cavalry and shooting skills were the same as those of the Bingzhou army. However, the Han army had the blessing of the three treasures of war horses, so it had a slight upper hand.

Lu Bu roared angrily, "What a damned bastard! You dare to touch Tai Sui's head!" After that, he mounted the red rabbit horse and charged into the Xianbei cavalry. Between the lightning and flint, hundreds of Xianbei cavalry appeared, each with a halberd. Beheaded.

Seeing Lu Bu's bravery, the Bingzhou army became high-spirited. In an instant, the attack and defense were reversed. The Xianbei cavalry was defeated and fled outside the camp.

Lu Bu shouted, "Chase! Don't let go of a wild dog!"

Tens of thousands of Bingzhou troops followed and pursued them, leaving only a few thousand to guard the camp. Lü Bu's cavalry was worth a thousand, and he charged into the defeated Xianbei army and killed hundreds more. At this time, a familiar voice came to my ears, it was the system, "Congratulations to the host for achieving the achievement of killing ten thousand people and successfully activating the battle soul function. From now on, every time one person is killed, they will become a battle soul. When the battle soul reaches 10,000, you can Summon the armies of the underworld.”

The army of the underworld is a good thing, but it is not easy to kill 10,000 people. After traveling here for ten years, I have only killed 10,000 people and activated the battle soul function. I'm afraid it will take another ten years to kill the next ten thousand people, but that doesn't matter. This chaotic world will be difficult to stabilize without taking several decades.

He who kills several people and runs rampant in one area is called a thief or a bandit; he who kills ten thousand people and goes all over the world is called a hero. What is goodness? What is evil? How to tell the difference clearly? My life is only fifty years, and my whole life is to be a great evil person in the eyes of the world and to do great good deeds.

Lu Bu was thinking as he waved the Fangtian painted halberd in his hand. Hundreds more Xianbei cavalry fell before his eyes. He heard the sound of the battle soul +1 system that kept ringing in his ears. Lu Bu became more and more courageous as he fought. The red rabbit horse saw its master. With the murderous intention aroused, he let go completely and galloped, leaving the Bingzhou cavalry behind.

Tuoba Wei and Yu Wenqi, who were ambushing in Hulu Valley, saw that Duguba's army had retreated into Hulu Valley, and behind them, they saw only one Han general pursuing them. They couldn't help but be shocked. One hundred thousand Xianbei warriors were defeated by just one person. .

Tuoba Wei was about to give the order to attack, but Yu Wenqi stopped him and said, "Wait a moment, the Han army hasn't arrived yet. Let's wait for them to kill for a while before we attack again."

After listening to Yu Wenqi's words, Tuoba Wei said, "Do you mean to sacrifice the Dugu clan?"

"Exactly, after the demise of the Dugu clan, we are the only two big clans left in Xianbei. We can have more people and a larger land, why not?" Yu Wenqi said coldly.

Tuoba Wei was tempted. Population and land were both good things. The grassland peoples originally had insufficient resources. One less tribe to allocate would mean that his tribe could get more benefits, so he ordered the tribes not to act rashly.

Seeing that there was no way ahead, Dugu Ba ordered all the troops to stop, only to find that Lu Bu was the only one chasing him, and the Han army did not follow. Dugu Ba panicked, and the hand holding the sword kept sweating. Lu Bu picked up his bow and arrow, one arrow at a time, and dozens of Xianbei cavalry fell down after being hit by arrows. At this time, the Bingzhou army also arrived.

In the narrow valley, the two sides started fighting. When Dugu Ba saw the warriors around him fall one after another, he looked up to the sky and cursed, "What are you still waiting for? Do you want to wait until my Dugu clan is destroyed before you are willing to take action!"

When Lu Bu heard Dugu Ba's cry, he knew he had been tricked. He shouted, "There is an ambush, withdraw your troops." But it was too late. Arrows rained down from the sky, and both Han and Xianbei people fell in a pool of blood. middle.

After a night of bloody fighting, Lu Bu returned to the camp. In this battle, the Bingzhou army suffered heavy losses. Thirty thousand people were buried in the Gourd Valley, thirty thousand were injured by arrows, and only twenty thousand were able to continue fighting.

But what made Lu Bu even more sad was that Hou Cheng, Song Xian, and Wei Xijun were killed in the battle, and Cao Xing was seriously injured. This was the second major defeat in his career, but it was more heartbreaking than the previous failure in the Yellow Turban campaign.

Lu Bu knelt down to everyone, "I am the only one to blame for the defeat of this battle. Thirty thousand Bingzhou princes were killed and thirty thousand injured. I'm sorry, brothers. Lu Bu is here to apologize to you." After saying this, he kowtowed to the crowd. Three heads.

The 20,000 people who were still standing were moved to tears when they saw Lu Bu kneeling down. It turned out that they were such important existences in their lord's heart. With such a lord, even if he died, it would not matter!

Lu Bu asked Wei Muyong to divide the 20,000 soldiers into two groups, and take turns guarding the camp to prevent Xianbei people from sneak attacks.

Then he came to the wounded barracks and saw Cao Xing, who was heavy with several arrows. Lu Bu felt heartbroken. Cao Xing opened his eyes and saw Lu Bu, and was about to stand up and salute. Lu Bu quickly asked him to lie down, held Cao Xing's hand and said, "In the past I, Lu Bu, have nothing, and I am what I am today with your support. We agreed to conquer the world together, but now Hou Cheng, Song Xian, and Xijun have left me, and you have been injured again. It is all my fault. I really wish it was me who died."

Cao Xing coughed a few times and said, "My lord, don't blame yourself. If I hadn't met my lord, I would have died ten years ago. This world can be without me, Cao Xing, and it cannot be without my lord. Only you can bring joy to the people." Come to An Ning, I am willing to die, and the generals will not resent the lord in the underworld. In the next life, I will fight for the lord." After saying that, he spit out a few mouthfuls of blood and closed his eyes.

"Cao Xing!" Lu Bu cried loudly. An hour later, Lu Bu called Wei Muyong with red eyes.

"Mu Yong, take the injured brothers back to Wuyuan and tell Gao Shun to take good care of these brothers," Lu Bu said.

"General, don't you go back to Wuyuan together?" Wei Muyong asked.

"I want to stay here to avenge my dead brothers!" Lu Bu almost shouted when he said this.

Wei Muyong knew that once Lu Bu made up his mind, he would not change it, so he slowly withdrew from the battlefield with 30,000 wounded soldiers and embarked on the road back to Wuyuan County.

At this time, Lu Bu already had a plan to break the city. He wanted to take the 20,000 elite soldiers left behind to massacre all the Xianbei people in Yunzhong County.
