The World of Yellow Sky

In the west, a huge cavalry force composed of Qiang and Xianbei people is advancing rapidly towards the royal court.

All the Xiongnu tribes along the road had been wiped out. They had reached the east of Shuofang County and the northeast of Shang County, not far from Xihe County where the King's Court of the Huns was located.

Xu Bu's eyes were slightly darkened.

The mixed army of Qiang and Xianbei in the west is said to have 5 people.

The Yellow Turban Army in Yanmen County also has a scale of 2 people, and it has an elite force with armor and sharp blades.

Because of power struggles, a large number of Hun tribes were concentrated near the royal court, which also made the Southern Huns and Xu Bu's control over the periphery to a heinous level.

Now that Xu Bu received the military information, he discovered that the enemies of the Xiongnu had already come between the east, west and south.

The situation has exceeded Xu Bu's expectations.

Chapter 317 The Huns in the North

Xu Bu turned his gaze to the north.

Since armies appeared on the east, west, south, and south sides at the same time, he had reason to believe that there might also be a tribe waiting for the Huns in the north at this time, and they were even advancing towards the south.

Looking around, surrounded by all directions.

The Yellow Turban Army didn't want to leave a way out for the Huns.

At this time, in the east, west and south, the news of the Yellow Turban Army's three-way attack has also spread.

The transmission of the news was not stopped by Xu Buneng. Those tribes with a slightly larger scale all received news from within the tribe.

The Yellow Turban army was pressing down on the territory like a broken bamboo, and the news that they were approaching the royal court had already been known to them.

Some people even received more detailed news than Xu Bu.

Xu Bu stood silently in the palace.

He had only sat on the throne that supported Gutu Shanyu for a few days, so he was about to give up.

The enemy army is approaching the royal court, Xu Bu's rationality tells him that the royal court is doomed to be unable to hold on, and sticking to the royal court will only damage the Huns' military strength in vain.

Information about the attack on the Yellow Turban Army from Yanmen and Xihe counties was also sent to Xu Bu.

In Xu Bu's hands, the silk scroll seemed to weigh a thousand ounces.

Those well-ordered and well-trained heavy infantry have already proved in the battle of Taiyuan County that even the impact of tens of thousands of Hun cavalry is of no avail.

The more than 4000 white-robed cavalry from Xihe County made Xu Bu feel very troublesome.

That weird cavalry is far superior to the Huns' cavalry in both riding and shooting and melee combat.

They are equipped with solid armor, armed with strong bows and long spears, and their morale is even more frighteningly high.

The Xiaoqi Battalion in Yanmen County was even more brave, but the Huns who fought against it were all defeated and collapsed.

If it's just that, if it's just the Yellow Turban Army, Xu Bu thinks he can still handle it.

But just to the west, there is still a large Qiang cavalry and Xianbei cavalry approaching the direction of the royal court.

Although there is no news from the north.

But since the Yellow Turban Army can persuade the Qiang people in the west, it is impossible to guarantee that they will not persuade the Huns in the north. If there is an army waiting for them in the north.

Xu Bu didn't dare to think about it any more.

Unknowingly, the Xiongnu were already on the side of the cliff, and they were about to reach the verge of extermination, and they had reached the end of the road.

……

Zhongping five years, March [-]th.

The last Xiongnu trilogy staying in Meiji was also annihilated by the white robe army under the city of Meiji.

Under the command of Xu An, the Yellow Turban Army entered the royal court of the Huns, and the khaki-colored banner flew over the royal court of the Huns.

Although a large number of Huns were captured, there were also cattle, sheep and livestock.

But Xu An didn't have much joy of victory on his face.

Because the main force of the Huns has fled.

Xu Bu had fled with most of the Huns before the arrival of the Yellow Turban Army.

The Yellow Turban Army chased and lost the enemy.

No one can teach Xu An how to fight on the grassland and how to find the enemy.

Since the Han Empire failed to fight the Xianbei in the sixth year of Xiping (177), it lost a large number of experienced and skilled generals, and thus lost the courage to go out of the fortress.

Those generals and schools who surrendered to Xu An's command were basically young people who had no experience in fighting outside the fortress.

There is not much experience in fighting outside the Great Wall.

The suspicious array deliberately set up by the Huns disturbed Xu An's thoughts even more.

However, Xu An still knew the general direction of the Huns' escape.

If the Huns did not think about annihilating one of the four armies, then they had only one way to go.

That is the northwestern part of Bingzhou - Shuofang County.

The Liangzhou army's attack route was to cut in from the north of Shangjun, while Xu Huang's army attacked Yunzhong County according to the predetermined plan, cutting off the Xiongnu's intention to retreat eastward.

Shanggu Wuhuan also launched a fierce attack on the Huns in Wuyuan County a few days after the Yellow Turban Army attacked. The northern area of ​​Wuyuan County and the Huns' tribes have been defeated by Shanggu Wuhuan.

After all, man's calculation is not as good as heaven's calculation.

Xu An's plan of spreading the net on all sides and encircling all directions still allowed the Huns to seize a glimmer of life.

Shuofang County is the only weak point of this strategy.

The northern part of Shuofang County is the territory of the Xianbei people, and Xu An has no connection with the Xianbei people at all.

The Wuhuan and Liangzhou armies in Shanggu were unwilling to be the first target of the Xiongnu's attack, which made them all choose to delay the attack, and then proceeded to march after the Yellow Turban army launched an attack.

The consequence was that the Huns ran out of the gap.

However, this was also within Xu An's expectations.

Yan Zhong and Xu An had discussed this matter long ago.

The trapped beast is still fighting, not to mention the danger of extermination, the rabbit will bite people when it is anxious, not to mention the Southern Huns with tens of thousands of people who control strings.

In fact, it is common sense that the Liangzhou Army and Shanggu Wuhuan would not do their best.

Eliminating the Southern Xiongnu will not benefit the Liangzhou army. They only need to occupy part of the territory of Bingzhou to have a place and the Yellow Turban Army can teach.

There is no need to intercept a Southern Huns who are in a hurry to jump over the wall.

Now the main force of the Southern Huns, if they are all assembled, there will be nearly 10 people in total, and the counterattack of dying is not so easy to stop.

As long as the Liangzhou army gets their share, fulfilling the promise is enough.

And Nanlou also thought in the same way, expelling the Huns, taking down the habitats with abundant water and grass, and capturing those small and medium-sized tribes who had no time to escape, was enough.

There are only so many people in Shanggu Wuhuan, why should he fight to the death with the main force of the Xiongnu? What Xu An can give him is not worth such a sacrifice.

Xu An, who had considered this point long ago, also had a countermeasure for it.

Xu An didn't pin all his hopes on Shanggu Wuhuan and Liangzhou Army.

According to the intelligence of Yingwei Tiqi and the information of the subordinate tribe, Xu An also learned that a total of tens of thousands of Huns had gathered near the Southern Huns royal court, and two-thirds of them were young and strong. There are 7 to [-] people.

Xu An's revised plan was to gather cavalry troops and chase down the fleeing Southern Huns.

This is also the reason why Xu An expanded the cavalry part almost crazily.

There are 4000 people in the White Robe Army and 7000 people in the Xiaoqi Battalion.

During this period, craftsmen in Bingzhou worked almost day and night to forge weapons and armor.

The White Robe Army and the Xiaoqi Battalion are almost equipped with the best armor and the best weapons in the entire army.

Xu An also promoted horse riding in the army, and let the soldiers directly under his command learn to ride horses as much as possible. They don't need to be skilled in riding, as long as they can ride horses and march.

In this battle, Xu An gathered almost all the available horses in Bingzhou to serve as soldiers marching and as a logistical guarantee.

Under Xu Huang's order, the Xiaoqi Camp and the Ruishi Camp had already gone south and arrived at the royal court of the Southern Huns.

The Xiaoqi Battalion and the White Robe Army totaled [-] cavalry.

There are a total of more than 1 infantry in the three battalions, including the yellow angels, who can march on horseback.

Counting the personal guards of the generals and schools, there are more than [-] people in total.

The remaining soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army who could not ride horses were left behind to defend the occupied city together with the soldiers who were originally stationed on the front line of the Great Wall.

Since the southern Huns fled, some of them had to protect the old and weak, women and children, and some had to drive away cattle and sheep.

Then the remaining ones are at most twice as large as the Yellow Turban Army.

However, the Huns, who lacked weapons and strong bows and crossbows, could not defeat the Yellow Turban Army on the grassland with only twice as many troops.

This is something that has been proved in the battle of Taiyuan County.

Chapter 318 The Battle of the Desert

Bingzhou, the northwestern part of Shuofang County, and Qingyanze.

There are more than 2 Xiongnu old and weak women and children gathered here, as well as more than [-] Hun cavalry.

Getting closer to the border of Shuofang County, and closer to the landscape of the Xianbei people.

The Xiongnu not only had to guard against possible pursuers, but also the Xianbei people who might come out.

The vanguard of the Yellow Turbans had routed a rearguard he had left behind.

Xu Bu needs to make a final decision.

Just as Xu Bu thought, there were indeed people in the north, and they were cavalry from Wuhuan, probably Wuhuan from Shanggu County.

There are also some tribes attached to Xianbei, who came to take advantage of the fire to loot.

Many fleeing Xiongnu tribes along the road joined Xubu's team, but most of these people were old and weak, women and children, and most of the young and strong died in the battle.

Now under Xu Bu's command, including the Xiongnu cavalry who joined in later, he barely gathered [-] cavalry, but this also made him have to allocate more cavalry to protect these old and weak women and children.

And at the time of escaping, Xu Bu discovered a turning point in the matter.

This is why the Huns stayed near Qingyanze.

The Wuhuan people in the north and the Qiang people in the west seem to have only occupied part of the territory, so they did not take the initiative to advance.

This also allowed Xu Bu to see the situation clearly.

Although the Wuhuan people and the Qiang people are allies of the Yellow Turban Army, neither of these two families is willing to have a large-scale confrontation with the Huns, which will consume their military strength, and they have the mentality of preserving their strength.

Since there was no help from the Wuhuan and Qiang people, Xu Bu decided not to flee south.

The scouts of the Xiongnu who stayed behind reported that the pursuing army was only a cavalry army of the Yellow Turban Army, and when there were only more than [-] people, they strengthened Xu Bu's determination.

Beyond the boundary of Shuofang, there are Xianbei people.

The boundaries of the Xianbei people are destined not to stay for long. Although Xianbei is not as strong as it was when Tan Shihuai was in power, it is still not something the Huns can defeat.

The Huns could only keep fleeing to the west.

However, traveling to the west is destined to be a road of no return. I don't know how many people will be killed or injured along the way to find a place with rich water and grass.

It is even possible that the whole family died on the way to escape to the west.

As soon as Xu Bu took the position of the Xiongnu Shanyu, the Xiongnu tribe encountered a crisis of almost exterminating the clan, which also caused Xu Bu's prestige to be greatly lost, and all the Xiongnu tribes lost confidence in him.

There were even rumors that Xu Bu was the murderer behind the murder of his predecessor, Shanyu Qiangqu, because he had done such an angry thing these days, the heavens condemned him, and the wolf god was unwilling to favor the Huns any more.

On March [-]th, Xu Bu led a group of people to worship the ancestors of the Huns by the lakeside of Qingyanze.

Then more than [-] Hun cavalry were summoned by Xu Bu. They prayed to the sky and the wolf god together, and then headed eastward under Xu Bu's leadership.

They will face the ensuing [-] Yellow Turban Army in the east of Qingyan Lake.

On the banks of Qingyan Lake, more than a hundred thousand old and weak women and children of the Huns watched their warriors head east.

They all knew that this would be a battle that would determine the fate of the Huns, and even whether the Huns would survive.

The ancient ballads echoed outside Qingyanze and in the camp of the Huns.
