Chapter 244 Murong Yu's Choice
Murong Yu led [-] Xianbei mourners and returned to his camp in mighty force. When they arrived at the tribe, they saw that the Han army was distributing property and women in the square in the center of the tribe, and they couldn't help feeling angry for a while soaring.

"Kill! Kill the Han army and take back our own things!" Murong Yu shouted loudly, drawing out his scimitar.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" The Xianbei cavalry also gritted their teeth when they saw this, and rushed forward one after another. At this time, they clearly saw that the generals of the Han army obviously panicked after hearing the sound of killing , probably because the Han army didn't realize that they would come back so soon, so there was confusion after hearing the shouts of killing.

"Hmph, are you scared now? But it's too late, I must kill all of you intruders today to avenge this hatred!" The faces of the Xianbei cavalrymen all had cruel killing intent, imagining those hateful things in their minds. The scene of Han people dying by their swords.

However, not long after, the knights in the front row suddenly felt a sad cry from their horses, and then their horses ran around as if they were drunk.

"No, the horse's hoof must have been pierced." These Xianbei soldiers have lived on horseback since they were young, so they are naturally familiar with the nature of horses. Keep the horse balanced.

But how can things be so easy?Because the thorns and barbed thorns that Pei Yuanshao sowed were very dense, the horse stepped on another thorn or barbed thorns after running for a few steps, and the horse that was calmed down by the knight immediately ran away again.

But at this moment, there was only a sharp sound of piercing through the air, and the crossbowmen who had already hidden behind the gate of the village began to fire their arrows.

As a result, the chaotic cavalry formation became even more chaotic now. The knights on horseback often dodged the arrows, but couldn't control the running horses, and were thrown off their horses, and then were thrown around. The scurrying war horses trampled their tendons and fractured their bones. Those who died were fine, but those who could not die cried out in misery and received new injuries again and again; while those soldiers who controlled the horses could not avoid the bows and arrows, and were shot to death and wounded by the bows and arrows. , fell down one after another...

After finally breaking through the periphery and entering the tribe, these cavalry rushed towards the square in the middle one after another, but after running for a few steps, they suddenly felt light, and then fell sharply, only to realize that they had fallen. into a horse pit
Before they could issue a warning sound, they had already reached the bottom of the pit, and were stabbed bloody by the horse-rejecting guns and sharpened bamboo and wooden spears in the pit, and some unlucky soldiers were directly killed on the spot.

But sometimes it cannot be said that these soldiers who died immediately were not lucky, because those who did not die were even more miserable. They were seriously injured, but they still couldn't escape.

Not only that, because the horses behind could not hold their feet at all, the horses in the first two rows and the knights on the horses fell into the horse pit like dumplings, crushing the soldiers who fell in first. Hold on, those who were injured were naturally more seriously injured, some died directly, and some were still alive, and the screams were endless.

When all the horses stopped, they were unexpectedly hit by another round of arrows. Then they heard shouts. It turned out that Xian Yufu had sent five thousand cavalry at this time, came out from the back door, and attacked them from the left and right wings. attacked.

This team is different from other cavalry, they keep firing bows and arrows from a distance, but the accuracy and strength of the bows and arrows are still astonishing, the Xianbei knights have suffered heavy casualties before they come into contact with them.

"Retreat! Retreat!" Although Murong Yu was deeply unwilling, he knew that this time his side suffered heavy casualties. It is roughly estimated that nearly [-] knights have been lost. If he continues to fight hard, it is estimated that One's own side can wipe out the entire army, so no matter how unwilling they are, they have no choice but to retreat.

After retreating, there is still a glimmer of life. If not retreating, it is estimated that there will be no other way but death.

Murong Yu can be regarded as a generation of heroes. After weighing the pros and cons, he decisively led the army to retreat, no longer caring about the clansmen and property in the tribe.

And the facts also proved that Murong Yu's decision was correct, because less than half an hour after he led the army to leave, Liu He led the main force to arrive, and ordered to build a city here, garrison troops, and use this as a base to fight against the enemy. Liu He, who had already arrived at the foot of Bailang Mountain through Lu Longsai, attacked back and forth, broke through the Xianbei tribes in western Liaoxi, and completely expanded Liaoxi County into the territory of the Han Dynasty.

Of course, Murong Yu didn't know about the news that Liu He's army had arrived at Lingzhi. He was leading the army to bypass the Xianbei section of western Liaoning, and wanted to quietly cross the White Wolf Mountain and return to the Xianbei Prairie. There are still more than ten miles away from Bailang Mountain, and there is smoke and dust billowing in front of it, and the banners block out the sun, it seems that there is a war.

Murong Yu was startled when he saw this, and quickly sent people to inquire about the news, only then did he know that there was indeed a great battle near White Wolf Mountain, and what surprised him even more was that the two sides in the battle were Liu He's generals and Liaoxi Xianbei. The most powerful tribe, Duanbu, is said to have dispatched [-] cavalry this time, vowing to fight the opponent to the death.

"Are you sure it is Liu He's army that is fighting Duanbu?" Murong Yu, who heard the news, couldn't believe it, and asked the spies.

"My lord, it is indeed Liu He's army. According to the big screen, the leader of Liu He's side is Xu Huang. It is said that Xu Huang came out of Lulongsai and crossed the wild and uninhabited area of ​​our Xianbei grassland. It was only then that we came to the vicinity of White Wolf Mountain, and happened to meet the guards of Duanbu, and the two sides confronted each other, but the patience of both sides had reached the limit, and today finally started a decisive battle, my lord, what should we do? Shall we intervene in them? fight between them?"

"It's still not necessary." Murong Yu waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "Since Liu He dared to send this Xu Huang over, it proves that this Xu Huang is definitely not an ordinary person. What's the use? Take ten thousand steps back and say, even if we help Duanbu defeat Xu Huang, what good will it do us? Sooner or later, we will be annexed by Duanbu? If Duanbu loses, then we will be even worse. It’s a good deal, not only will you lose your troops, but you may also be completely wiped out here by Xu Huang.”

"But why can't we sit on the hill and watch the tigers fight, and wait until they are both injured before finding a way to clean up the mess? Maybe at that time, we will be able to annex the Duanbu in one fell swoop." Murong Jing asked from the side.

But Murong Yu shook his head and said: "How do you know that they must both lose? If one side wins completely, then we will have nothing. Besides, even if both sides really lose, do we still have a chance to annex Duanbu? We I have already lost my command branch, so it is estimated that Liu He's main force will catch up here soon, so what if we can annex Duanbu by then? Isn't it a doomsday situation?"

"Then where are we going?" Murong Jing asked with a sigh.

Murong Yu looked at Dongfang, and said after a while: "Liaodong, go to Gongsundu, but before we leave, let's grab some food and grass from Duanbu first, we can't go to Liaodong hungry, right?"
