The follow-up of the matter was not as Duan She and Fuchen imagined, because with Cao Yi, five thousand elite soldiers, and His Majesty's pioneers, Duan's troops were nothing.

For ordinary people, Duan tribe is still a giant who can run side by side with the two major tribes of Murong and Yuwen. However, in the eyes of the Han people who are so well aware of the government system, Duan tribe is already unbearable. In front of the sage and in front of the official position, even if Duan She Fuchen gathered the backbone of Duan's family here, what is the use?

Duan She Fuchen was the position of the governor of Qingzhou and General Zhaowu, while Cao Yi was given the title of the general of the army! The height of the army was meaningless, and Cao Yi was also followed by the general of the army. The Later Han emperor Liu Yuan knew that Cao Yi was good at fighting, so he awarded the honor of the court festival. All the military and mausoleums and custody of the prefectures and counties they passed by obeyed his transfer arrangements.

Duan Shefuchen only learned about this news until he met Cao Yi in the conference hall. But Duan Shefuchen had just learned that it was too late. The general of the army arrived outside the city during the holiday. You didn't go out to greet him. Instead, you were waiting arrogantly in the city. Who would you do if you didn't? Cao Yi was not a person with a small temperament, but he was related to fame, honor and disgrace. Whether it was a literati or a martial artist, there was nothing he didn't care about.

It is inevitable to apologize, and it is natural to bow your head and accept it. Once a domineering person like Cao Yi rides on his head, you will never have any chance to turn over!

For the ethnic groups that depend on for survival outside the Great Wall, when entering the court, a qualified leader and an incompetent leader lead the ethnic group on a completely different path. When he saw Duan Shefuchen, Cao Yi was sure that this person was far inferior to Duan Wumuchen, not to mention how powerful the Duan tribe will be in the future.

Duan Lixuan, who was waiting on the east road, was destined to not see the arrival of the Later Han army. It was not because he had been killed by Zu Ti, but because Cao Yi completely overturned the combat plan set by Duan's troops.

"Does the enemy of Li Yang be left to Your Majesty?" He raised his foot and kicked Duan Shefuchen over the table that he used to issue orders in the past few days. Cao Yi slammed his foot on the table and said angrily. At that moment, more than twenty civil and military officials bowed their heads and said without saying anything, angry, ashamed, and confused, as if they were at a loss when they did something wrong and were scolded by their husbands.

Not only can he not seek credit in front of His Majesty, but he may also be disgusted by His Majesty for this. At this moment, Duan Piyan felt a little lucky. If it weren't for the appearance of a guy like Cao Yi, Duan She Fuchen would have been enough to lose everything he has now. To a certain extent, Duan She Fuchen should be grateful to Cao Yi.

But looking at the figure that bowed and lowered his head and trembled slightly, Duan Piyin knew that this man had lived like this for so many years. When he raised his head, this man had become the master of Duan's tribe. What does it mean now when facing Cao Yi's bowing?

"Duan Piqian!" Cao Yi's angry tone made people shudder, but his calm eyes made people know how terrible this guy is.

"The last one is here." For a moment, Duan Piqi ignored Cao Yi's strange gaze, and still straightened his body and walked into the middle of the hall, then bowed slightly and replied extremely smoothly.

Cao Yi seemed to see something, his tone was eased a little, but he still said sternly: "What are your judgments on the pseudo-Han military strength in the south?"

Everyone thought this way, Duan Piyun, the defeated general, but they didn't expect that Cao Yi's first goal to solicit opinions was the defeated general.

Duan Piqian's eyes flashed and he pondered for a long time. The civil and military officials on both sides were all dripping sweat. He thought to himself that this kid really didn't want to do it. He was defeated and was not punished. Facing the decisive Cao Yi, he was slow to do so. What's going to do?

"There are no more than 10,000 infantrymen, and there should be no cavalry." Duan Piyi said seriously word by word, with the expression on his face solemn and proud.

Cao Yi's eyes closed slightly, and then opened his eyes and said, "No cavalry? How many soldiers are there?"

"Yes, there are no cavalry, only tens of thousands of soldiers!" Duan Piyin said these words firmly again, affirmatively.

"Duan Shefuchen, what do you think the Han troops are? " Even the leader of Duan's army, the clan leader had to bow in front of the general who had a false ceremony.

The unceremonious words did not seem to stimulate the middle-aged man who had just ascended to the throne of the clan leader. Duan She Fuchen stepped out of the crowd as he was respectfully as before, and said lightly: "Returning to the general of the army, Duan thought that the Han soldiers were not satisfied with tens of thousands and had no cavalry."

Everyone was surprised that what the patriarch said was the same as Duan Pilun. In other words, at the moment of facing strong pressure, Duan Shefuchen, who had always rejected Duan Pilun, had already put down his figure, expressed his kindness with Duan Pilun, and made a vague statement.

"Your Majesty's army will arrive at noon tomorrow, and the enemy troops on the south road will not survive! I decided to rob the camp tonight, so you have any objections!" Cao Yi analyzed the battle strategy and knew that it was definitely a good opportunity to take action at the moment. The Han people had just retreated, and Duan She and Fuchen kept hiding. At this time, mobilizing heavy troops to attack the Han people will surely win a complete victory!

Everyone present followed Duan Shefuchen's head. Now the clan leader does not say anything or expresses his opinion. There is no other way except to obey. Everyone is more or less dissatisfied with Cao Yi's attitude, but Cao Yi's judgment on strategy is undoubtedly first-class, and this cannot be questioned at all.

...

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the trees are quiet.

The Hu people's horns resounded throughout the night sky, and dense torches formed a fire dragon, and rushed towards the Han army's position. Seeing this, the soldiers patrolling the night hurriedly warned. The Han army general Shao Xu and Qu Te suppressed their horror and led their troops out of the camp to meet the enemy.

But when the fireballs shone, Duan Piqin, a general of the Later Han Dynasty, immediately led more than a thousand Hu people to stand up. Although he was speechless, the provocation was very strong.

"This is the Hu general who was trapped in the battle before, and his bravery is different from ordinary people." Shao Xushou twisted his beard to observe the Hu man's momentum and said quietly.

"With the Ming army robbing the night camp, will Hu General ask for a fight?" Qu Te also asked about it with a gentle touch of horse hair.

When fighting at night, it is necessary to stop the enemy and cover up the sound of a sneak attack on the enemy. Such a big fanfare has a different effect. The Han army hid in various places, and the hundreds of cavalry in Duan Piqiu were just a brief taste, and they did not know the Han people's garrison. The so-called dark robbery camp did not have enough information at all.

But the open battle made the Han people worry a lot and did not dare to take it lightly. It suddenly exposed its military strength and saved the Hu people's efforts.

"The Ming army is in front and the hidden arrows are behind, so you must be careful." Shao Xu whispered, and his generals went to investigate whether there were any enemy troops approaching quietly.

"I'm hiking for half a day and finally willing to give my head!" Qu Te and Shao Xu were both generals from the Wei and Jin Dynasties. They had a very tacit understanding with each other. At this moment, they rushed forward and pointed at the enemy's formation and shouted.

Duan Piqian had a cold face and sneered: "What's wrong with a head-on battle?"

After saying that, the Hu soldiers stood in the left and right, and five thousand Later Han soldiers and horses surged out from behind. The array was neat and murderous intent was ruthless, like a strong wind and a huge wave, shocking the Han army!

"Cao Yi is here, and the pseudo-Han dares to fight!" Cao Yi, the general of the Later Han army, urged the horse to raise his sword, show his martial arts and power, and look down on the Han people.

Qu Te's eyes flashed and he murmured: "With such a strong soldier, the person who comes is not good..."

Shao Xu rode his horse and said furiously: "Beasts in clothes and animals claim to be honest!"

In an instant, arrows filled the sky, and drums and horns roared together!

Facing Shao Xu, a powerful soldier in the Later Han Dynasty, Qu Te did not dare to neglect and launch an offensive first! The three formations of crossbowmen were shooting together, gathering long-range firepower to attack the enemy as soon as possible!

The Han army in the forefront held a shield in one hand and drew a knife in the other, shouted in unison and strided forward!

Later, the spears were long and the spears were connected closely, and they were staring at the enemy on the other side. They could use only one step to help protect the comrades in front of them.

Facing different directions, teams of square formations of different sizes came to the sky. Cao Yi laughed to the sky. Five thousand elite soldiers of the Later Han Dynasty hit the small shield with swords and axes, and advanced with their heads raised, not afraid of the rain of arrows or death!

The loud roar made the Han army very irritated. The square formations of teams either first or later, either left or right, reached the huge formation of the Later Han Han, clearly visible to the naked eye, followed by ruthless crushing. The strict and tight Later Han army formation, with smooth and straight four-sided sections, the moment they contacted the Han army array, seemed to turn into dark ghost fires, jumping continuously, or like willow catkins that had been piled up for a long time and were suddenly subjected to external force, flying all over the sky.

The flames rolled wildly, and the Han army formation touched in the flashes turned into a melting state; the willow catkins flew and the hazy fall covered the square formation. The corpses were everywhere.

The Hu soldiers were like fire, and they were burned everywhere they passed, and the fighting spirit was like the wind, and the place they blew through was full of devastation.

The square formation of hundreds of people could hardly resist the attack of the Hu army and was slightly defeated. Even if several square formations at the same time, the formation of the Hu people was hit one after another, it would be useless.

Shao Xu's face was gloomy, the frequency and movements of Hu soldiers jumping and rushing, and the momentum and attitude of looking at death, were undoubtedly a strong army in the absolute sense! People like Cao Yi, who have such talents, are loyal to Hu Yi? This is to ask the former Wei State or the destroyed Jin State.

Shao Xu raised his sword and, as a general of Han, he had no reason to retreat.

Qu Te's jaw raised slightly, which is contempt and pride. He has been on the battlefield for twenty years and has made countless contributions. He cannot defeat the barbarians and fail to protect the country. This is the greatest insult to this powerful general! Only an opponent like Cao Yi can have the awareness of letting go, and only such a strong enemy can show his pride!

Qu Te is in a stern sword, the country is hatred and family is incompatible, and the Han and Hu are incompatible.

The previously defeated Han people retreated back to the Han army formation and rejoined the formation under the organization of generals and schools at all levels. The formation is an indispensable element on the battlefield. When scattered soldiers and roaming enemies with formations, they often get slaughtered on the spot if they fail to exert half of their combat effectiveness, and they don’t even have the strength to counterattack.

Therefore, when the Han army in the forefront is fighting fiercely, the subsequent soldiers will experience the so-called defeat when they see that the formation cannot be maintained. This defeat is not because they dare not fight, but on the contrary, it is a way to better fight and preserve their strength. Of course, this is just a decent statement, and it is an indisputable fact to be defeated.

The speed gradually accelerated, and thousands of elite Hu soldiers suddenly scattered their formations and rushed in different directions! In fact, they defeated several Han soldiers in one go, but the dense rain of arrows had already caused hundreds of casualties to the Hu people. After crushing the obstacles on the road ahead of the charge, how could Cao Yi let his soldiers continue to fight under the rain of arrows and under the threat of death?

"Kill!" Shao Xu urged the horse to swing the sword to urge the Han army to fight!

"Kill Hu!" Qu Te drove his horse out of the flank of the Han army and led his army to resist Duan Piqian's army that cooperated with Cao Yi to launch an attack.

The shouts of killing instantly filled the entire world, inspiring the fighting spirit of the soldiers and generals on both sides. A bloody close force unfolded under the reflection of the moonlight and the firelight!

...

Duan Shefuchen looked out from the city tower, not the battle on the South Road, but the return of his confidant general. The knight who sent the message to the scene still had not returned, which was beyond the time of traveling back and forth.

Cao Yi's five thousand elite troops went south to fight, and there were nearly two thousand soldiers and cavalrymen such as Duan Piyuan. This was not the whole of Liyang City, but it also made Liyang City a lot quieter. In fact, Duan She Fuchen felt that there was only a little angry in the city at the moment. Compared to Cao Yi's 5,000 elite troops who were so aggressive, he had a little more popularity when he entered the city, and it seemed that he could finally speak loudly.

"Cao Yi is arrogant. Even if these rats gain power for a while, they will never become great. The patriarch is patient for a while. When His Majesty's army arrives, he will definitely turn around." Duan Weihou comforted him respectfully. After following Duan Shefuchen for many years, he has long known the personality of this lord, but he is still worried that this lord will not be able to think about it.

After all, Duan Shefuchen was just one of the clans, but now he is the leader of the clan.

"You are right with Li Xuan. My Duan team is too much loss. Even a clown like Cao Yi dares to bully him. This is a shame that is difficult to erase! I will remember this, and you must also remember that one day he will receive the retribution he deserves. But before this, the branches of this clan cannot continue to consume internally."

Duan Shefuchen said tiredly, as if telling an extremely difficult thing. The forms of ethnic groups outside the Great Wall are incompatible with the court. Your Majesty will not allow such a huge group of forces to exist. The so-called official position and power are to turn countless ethnic groups into countless contradictions.

The old order has been disrupted. With the development and growth of the New Dynasty, who can go to the next level is not the status of the clan, but the achievements and official ranks of the New Dynasty.

The patriarch at this time was a completely different thing than the leaders outside the border, and what he was responsible for was even heavier.

Duan Weihou showed a bit of joy. Even if the clan cannot survive in its old form, it will eventually exist objectively. After Wu Du Zun's ambition has become a piece of waste paper after he devoted himself to the protection of the Huns. Perhaps the clan will gradually fade out of this history, but the same bloodline and background, the origins and habits behind him will be an indispensable part of the glory of the family in the future.

The talents in the suppression clan have long lost the meaning of consolidating their own status in the past. After understanding this, the section will definitely be able to go to a higher level!

"The clan leader understands, my Duan tribe will be able to cheer up!" Duan Weihou said enthusiastically.

"Well, when you meet Your Majesty, you should make contributions to this battle." Duan Shefuchen nodded slightly and expressed his attitude, but he could hear the sound of horse hooves in his ears.

"The great Han General Li Feng is here, and you will not surrender yet!" The roar from far to near made the Hu people in the city panic.

Duan Shefuchen couldn't hide the shock on his face, and pointed at the Han army within his sight and exclaimed: "How... how could it be a Han person!?"

Duan Weihou just felt the fat meat on his face jumping, and his fat and thick palms smeared his face angrily: "Li Xuan must have been harmed by this Zu Ti!"

"If you still don't offer the city within three sounds, don't blame me for the Han heavenly soldiers to seize the city!" The Han cavalry shouted under the city. The so-called three sounds were just a very short time.

"Shoot the arrow!" Duan Shefuchen was so angry that he shouted! His painstaking arrangements were destroyed by Cao Yi. Now his confidant general Duan Lixuan may die at the hands of the Han people. How could he not be heartbroken and angry!

The Hu people were terrified that the Han people's magical weapons came from the sky, but the arrows were sparse and dense, which also showed the results of their usual training. The Han army called three times in a row and retreated one after another, making a move to prepare to attack the city.

Without orders, Duan Weihou had already commanded soldiers to guard the city, holding a large shield and tightly guarding Duan She and Fuchen. The Hu people only practiced the tactics of defending the city and had no practical experience. Just imagine how to have tens of thousands of cavalry, how could they be trapped in the difficult situation of defending the city?

However, things are unpredictable, and the army returns north to rest, and the domestic granaries are limited, and the Hebei garrison is far less than usual. In addition, the Han army is unexpected, and the virtual and the real are complementary. For a time, the Hu people have the courage to fight to the death, but they are still frightened by the elusive Han army.

The fire outside the city suddenly went out, and the Han army hid in the night, leaving only the lights and torches at the top of Liyang City to protect the towering and solid city walls layer by layer.

The bowstrings were full, and the strong arrows were about to be launched, but only the sound of the Han army moving was heard, and no one was seen coming to attack!

With four eyes facing each other, Duan She Fuchen and Duan Weihou were suspicious and slapped the stone pillars in the building. Duan She Fuchen's face changed drastically: "The Han people are cunning and bluffing, and they will definitely go to the south to attack Cao Yi!"

Duan Weihou listened carefully to the Han people's footsteps had long disappeared from the south, and said with a serious expression: "Cao Yi is in charge of his own elite troops and needs a victory. Being attacked from both sides will definitely be a great defeat!"

"The arrogant people, the power of the false rituals and the responsibility of the army's defeat, will our Duan army harm this??" Duan Shefuchen almost saw that Cao Yi, who was defeated, put all the blame on him, and he could undoubtedly be blamed for letting Zu Ti take the Han army behind him.

"Li Xuan's revenge must be avenged. This battle must be rescued. Finally, the general leads his elite troops to come and asks the clan leader to firmly defend this city." Duan Weihou put down the big shield in his hand and knelt down and bowed.

"Just fight back the Han people, you can't fight hard."

"Abide by the order!"

The city gate was wide open, Duan Weihou held a big sword in his hand, and took the lead with one horse, and eight hundred iron cavalry followed him, all of whom were elite Duan’s troops!

The crescent moon is like a hook, still bright, and the dim starlight flashes faintly in the sky and river, appearing or appearing, and it is difficult to understand its position. The people on the ground have no time to care about each other and drive hard. The sound of horse hooves rolls and disperse at night, alarming birds and beasts and rippling people's hearts.

After chasing for more than ten miles in one breath, Duan Weihou's mind flashed with a flash of inspiration, and he suddenly felt frightened and strangled the war horse. The war horse was suddenly tightened, his front hooves were raised, and he stood up with a neigh.

In the dust flying, Duan Weihou shouted: "The Han people don't have this speed, retreat quickly!"

Amid the neighing of war horses, the sound of bowstrings sounded everywhere, and countless Han soldiers in the grass beside the road bent over and swung their swords and angrily killed the Hu people! There were also long spears and big swords to kill them while the chaos was in trouble, and for a moment, people were on the horse and overturned the dust.

Suddenly, when the Hu knights did not even stop their war horses, they were attacked by Han people. There were many collisions between them, and blood and flesh were squeezed like mud. Duan Weihou was heartbroken and furious. How could all the elite troops of Duan's army be destroyed in one go?
Chapter completed!
