The Nameless of the Common Clans

"King, the Han army appeared ahead and is looting the tribe!" Tadun was rushing back when the scout brought him some bad news.

The Han army looted the tribe again. This time, the Han army was too cruel! ? They were going to force the Wuhuan tribe to death!

"How many troops are there?" Tadun gritted his teeth secretly, but there was nothing he could do. Regret? Of course he did. If he had known that Chen Mo had so many powerful people under his command, he would never dare to provoke them casually. He would just let the Yuan brothers deal with them. Why did he have to get involved?

But now that things have come to this, regret is useless. There is no regret medicine in the world. What Tadun is really worried about now is that if the fight continues like this, will that little bastard Louban really hand himself over in exchange for peace with Wuhuan as Chen Mo said?

This is also the reason why Tadun led his troops back to help without saying a word after hearing that Chen Mo's troops appeared in Liucheng. Liucheng is Tadun's foundation. If Liucheng is lost, even if he is alive, he will not have any strength to compete with others.

This other person not only refers to Chen Mo, but also Louban, Su Puyan, Wuyan, Nanlou and other powerful figures of the Wuhuan tribe.

Why did Tadun give up the position of Chanyu? It was to compromise with these people to preserve the strength of Wuhuan. In Tadun's plan, Wuhuan will be a race comparable to the Xianbei in the era of Tan Shihuai, so he does not allow Wuhuan to split. This is why he is willing to give up the position of Chanyu. Now that the Xianbei has split and is declining, it may not be impossible for Wuhuan to replace the Xianbei and become the new generation of grassland overlords, but now, the appearance of Chen Mo has disrupted his plan. In any case, Chen Mo must be withdrawn before talking about other things.

"It shouldn't be too many." The scout was a little uncertain, after all, the two sides are now in a melee.

"Let's go and see!" Tadun snorted coldly. It's not far from Liucheng, so there is no need to rush. There are not many cavalry in the Han army. If this cavalry can be left behind, it will also be a great blow to the Han army.

Tadun brought not many soldiers this time, only more than 10,000, because the royal court wanted the right to command, and Tadun was also worried about the rear problems, so he only brought 10,000 warriors to help, but with these 10,000 soldiers, Tadun believed that as long as he didn't encounter someone like Lu Bu, it would be enough to deal with any enemy.

On the other side, the war in the Wuhuan tribe has ended, Pang De is cleaning the battlefield and getting supplies at the same time. If these cavalry rely on the food and grass supplies transported from the rear, the speed will be much slower, so Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Pang De, Zhang Ji, after leaving the pass, they all rely on the method of fighting to support their own men. Of course, this method of warfare is very unfriendly to the Wuhuan people, but what does it have to do with them?

"General, the scouts reported that a large number of Wuhuan cavalry appeared in the east!" A general came to Pang De and bowed.

"How many people?" Pang De frowned and asked.

"More than 10,000."

"More than 10,000..." Pang De frowned and ordered: "Notify all soldiers to throw away the extra things in their hands, set fire to this place, and prepare to retreat!"

"Retreat?" The lieutenant looked at Pang De in surprise: "Don't you want to fight?"

"The terrain here is open, and the enemy's advantage in manpower is equivalent to occupying the terrain. How to fight?" Pang De shook his head and frowned: "Go and pass the order!"

"Yes!"

The continuous war reports during this period have made many people a little inflated, thinking that the Wuhuan people are nothing special, but Pang De is not inflated. He calmly analyzed the reasons why Lu Bu, Ma Chao, and Zhao Yun were able to win. Lu Bu was able to win with fewer people, of course, because of Lu Bu's fierceness and good fighting, but more importantly, the terrain where Lu Bu was at that time, the Wuhuan people's manpower advantage could not be brought into play, and in terms of military discipline, there was no army around the Han Dynasty that could compare with the Han army in this regard, so they were defeated by Lu Bu taking advantage of the terrain.

If it was a different battlefield, and the enemy was not trying to force Lu Bu to death, Pang De believed that Lu Bu could break through, and even cause the enemy to be frustrated, but the price he paid would be heavy.

As for the battle between Zhao Yun and Ma Chao, Zhao Yun and Ma Chao succeeded because of their deliberate calculations and the terrain at that time was also not suitable for large-scale legionary operations. In addition, the rear army was attacked and eventually defeated, which made Zhao Yun and Ma Chao successful.

Of course, the enemy generals did not have absolute command over their own troops and their own command ability was not strong. This was not just a problem for the Wuhuan people. The Xianbei, the Xiongnu, or the Qiang people all had this problem. These grassland ethnic groups could be said to be soldiers for all the people, but they also lacked military literacy. If they encountered regular troops, they would be easily defeated, and it would not be easy for the defeated army to reorganize.

If the terrain allowed, Pang De would not mind winning with fewer troops, but now they were in an open and flat place. At this time, when encountering a large-scale enemy attack, the best way was not to fight head-on, but to temporarily avoid the sharp edge. If the enemy pursued them, they would find a suitable place to counterattack.

The troops assembled quickly, and the tents in the tribe were set on fire. Pang De led his men and horses and rushed out of the tribe directly, heading towards Liucheng. If the enemy pursued them, they would wait until they joined Zhao Yun and Ma Chao to fight again, and that would naturally be a different situation.

Tadun's attack was in vain, and he gritted his teeth at the burning tribe, but he could do nothing. They were all cavalry, and it was not easy to catch up, and they had to worry about whether the enemy had an ambush, so he had to lead his troops back to the city.

Liucheng was not so miserable. After all, no matter how powerful Zhao Yun and others were, they could not let the cavalry jump over the city wall to fight. However, they suffered a lot of casualties in the previous defeat. Originally, in order to prepare for the war, he forced the major tribes to move into Liucheng, so that there were 50,000 combat soldiers in Liucheng. He took 10,000 away and left 40,000. However, in the battle with Zhao Yun and Ma Chao, 10,000 were directly lost, which made Tadun almost unable to hold back and directly cut all the defenders.

In the end, Tadun held back. It was easy to cut these people, but next, he might not even have the people to command the troops.

"My king, the Han people were cunning. I was about to lead the army to surround Ma Chao. Who knew that there was another Zhao Yun who led his troops to hide behind the mountain. When I attacked, he attacked my rear army, which led to the defeat of the three armies." Several defenders stood under Tadun and said bitterly.

"How many troops are there outside the city now? Have you found out?" Tadun didn't want to mention this matter again. Once he mentioned it, he was so depressed that he wanted to kill someone. 30,000 troops were sent out, but they were defeated by a few thousand people from both sides. In the words of the Han people, this is simply a group of rabble. At the very least, they won't be defeated, right?

But it really happened.

"After Zhao Yun and Ma Chao, the enemy came with two more troops. Counting them, the enemy's strength should be close to 10,000." The general bowed and said.

10,000 people?

Tadun frowned and said, "Has Lu Bu arrived?"

"I haven't seen him." The generals shook their heads. If Lu Bu came, they couldn't fight.

"Send someone to the royal court to tell the Chanyu not to have any more luck. The Han people are coming to take revenge this time. If we can't beat them, even if I give my head to Chen Mo, they will not retreat. At this time, we should fight to the death with the Han people instead of begging for mercy." Tadun sat down a little depressed and said.

Louban, this little guy, can't accomplish anything. I shouldn't have given up the position of Chanyu for the sake of the overall situation.

At that time, a group of people was sent to inform the Wuhuan royal court.

"Send someone to Binhai to see if Su Puyan is still defeated, let him try to delay the Han army and don't let the two Han armies merge." After thinking about it, Tadun made another arrangement.

Although the Han cavalry fought fiercely here, Tadun knew very well that the main force of the Han people was Han Qiong's infantry on the other side of the coast. Now the cavalry and infantry were fighting separately, although it caused them a lot of trouble, but at least they could still cope with it. However, if the enemy cavalry and infantry were allowed to merge together, that would be a real disaster. Liucheng could stop the enemy's cavalry, but it would be difficult to stop the enemy's infantry attack, especially if the Han army's siege equipment was brought up, it would be absolutely a devastating blow to Liucheng.

One order after another was arranged, but soon, there was news that Su Puyan was defeated and died, and only Nanlou led the remnants of the army to escape back to the royal court. When this news came, Tadun felt confused, as if he was struck by lightning, and sat in his seat in silence.

"My king, the main force of the Han army is heading towards Liucheng!" A guard reminded.

"What is the reaction of the royal court?" Tadun said bitterly, the thing he was most worried about still happened.

"The people we sent have not returned yet, and there is no response." The general bowed.

No response is the response of the royal court. Lou Ban, that idiot, really thought that Chen Mo would let Wuhuan go if he handed himself over?

After a long silence, Tadun said coldly: "Send someone to tell Lou Ban that if he doesn't come, I will take all the troops in Liucheng to find him. Don't even think about offering me to survive!"

At this moment, Tadun's voice was icy cold. If he wanted to repel Chen Mo, he had to use all the power of the whole clan and leave himself here to fend for himself, and then expect Chen Mo to take the initiative to withdraw his troops after destroying him. It was pure wishful thinking.

But Lou Ban obviously didn't have this cognition. Tadun knew that it was impossible to convince Lou Ban by reasoning. In this case, he would use threats to tie Lou Ban to this warship. He would not be able to have a good life, and the other party would not have a good life. This is also the way most Wuhuan people and even grassland people do things. Only in this way can they pick up the swords in their hands and fight side by side with themselves.

"Yes!" The general agreed and turned away in a hurry.

Two days later, Lu Bu led more than 3,000 cavalrymen to the outside of Liucheng and joined Zhao Yun and others. Lu Bu's arrival made the people of Liucheng panic. After all, a person's reputation is like a tree's shadow. Lu Bu's fierce power during this period made the name of the flying general, which had faded, become famous again. Many guards were terrified on the city wall every day, as if Lu Bu might ride on the wall at any time.

At this time, Chen Mo arrived in Liucheng with his personal guards.
