Before long, Zhang Liao arrived swiftly with a thousand Beiwei soldiers.

The soldiers of the Beiwei Army were the elite of the elite, much like the elite soldiers in the modern army who formed a team called "Old A".

Their strength lies in their versatile tactics, often involving multiple independent combat teams working closely together.

When fighting the enemy, seven or eight men would fire arrows when they were about a hundred paces away from the enemy, seven or eight men would shoot horses with short crossbows, and then they would slash with long swords, quickly charge, regroup, and charge again, thus killing a large number of enemy soldiers.

In the context of the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, this would actually be a combined arms brigade composed of various troop types, such as archers, crossbowmen, cavalry, swordsmen, spearmen, and sword and shield soldiers.

However, the Beiwei Army condensed these military branches into one army.

One person can be worth a hundred; when combined, their power is boundless.

Just like in a football match, it's undeniable that star players have strong individual abilities and can carry the team across the field.

However, no matter how strong you are, it's all for nothing if the other ten people don't cooperate.

The Beiwei Army, on the other hand, is composed of various military branches that work closely together, complementing each other's strengths to achieve invincibility.

They shared a similar approach with the Qi Family Army of later generations.

At the same time, the Yue Family Army, to which the Beiwei Army belonged, was in the same situation.

At its peak, Yue Fei's Yue Family Army numbered approximately 100,000 men and could be divided into twelve armies: the Vanguard Army, Rearguard Army, Left Army, Right Army, Central Army, Wandering Army, White-Treading Army, Vanguard Army, Victory Army, Enemy-Breaking Army, Navy, and Beiwei Army.

The Beiwei Army consisted of 8,000 cavalry and tens of thousands of infantry.

In modern terms, Yue Fei's army was an army group.

That's a bit of a tangent!

Currently, Zhang Liao is already familiar with the outstanding performance of the team that Liu Wei is commanding.

Whether in the siege of Guluo City, in open field battles, or in the raid on Sheyanze's Xiongnu camp last night, Zhang Liao has found a treasure and is gradually bringing out the power of the Beiwei Army.

Now Zhang Liao led a thousand Beiwei soldiers to Hengshan to cooperate with Liu Wei in annihilating the last Xiongnu force in Han territory. Facing less than two thousand Xiongnu cavalry, they naturally swept through the land with overwhelming force.

Before half an incense stick's time had passed, Zhang Liao and a thousand Beiwei soldiers had already reached the outer perimeter of the Xiongnu cavalry.

The Beiwei Army immediately divided into fifty combat units and launched an attack from behind the Xiongnu cavalry.

They moved in groups of twenty, like fifty wedges, and immediately drove themselves firmly into the formation of the Xiongnu cavalry.

Although the current Xiongnu cavalry are elites selected from Shi Tugu, they are also wearing iron armor and ring-pommel swords provided by Dong Zhuo.

However, their tactics cannot be changed in the short term.

Nomadic cavalry had a limited range of attack methods, often employing wolf pack tactics.

The cavalrymen, in large groups, rampaged like wolves.

Sometimes they would charge into battle, sometimes they would pull and fly like kites, using the cavalry's mobility to leave the infantry helpless.

This tactic was very effective against Han Chinese infantry.

However, when they encountered the Beiwei Army, a top-tier military force in the era of cold weapons, it was a clear case of being outmatched.

In no time, more than 1,500 Xiongnu cavalrymen had been cut into dozens of pieces.

What awaited them was a relentless process of being swallowed up, falling from their horses, and dying!

Meanwhile, Liu Wei, who was at the core of the encirclement, led his guard battalion and the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun in continuous attacks.

Caught between internal and external attacks, the Xiongnu cavalry dwindled in number and their morale plummeted.

It's not that they didn't try, but that the other side was too strong.

Now, not only is killing Liu Wei hopeless, but even escaping is a problem.

Shi Tu Gu, who was full of fighting spirit at the beginning, now has the intention to retreat.

It seems that Dong Zhuo of Bingzhou is also unreliable.

This led their tribe to surround and kill the Han prince, but they ended up getting themselves killed as well.

"withdraw!"

Shi Tugu whispered instructions to the soldiers beside him, and then led several dozen soldiers to break through the gaps in the Beiwei Army.

"This must be the Xiongnu leader, Shi Tu Gu! Wang Fangyi, Shen Lian, don't let him get away!"

Liu Wei immediately spotted a group of Xiongnu cavalrymen trying to escape and ordered them not to be let go.

This corpse, Tugu, fled from Yunzhong to Shangjun, and in just one or two months, he gathered so many people and so many followers.

If Liu Wei hadn't been passing through Shangjun on his way back to Luoyang, Shi Tugu and his tribe would probably have gradually grown stronger with Dong Zhuo's support.

By then, they will have become too powerful to control, and their interests will be closely tied to Dong Zhuo's. It will be quite troublesome to deal with them when they are finally dealt with.

Now that we can completely eradicate it, we definitely can't miss this opportunity.

If Dong Zhuo knew that Liu Wei had wiped out a portion of the Shi Tu Gu clan, he would be powerless to do anything about it.

After all, he had something to hide, and he agreed to He Jin's request to find the Xiongnu people to take action against Liu Wei.

Corpse-like bones must die!

"My lord, watch me!"

When Wang Fangyi heard Liu Wei say that Shi Tugu must not be let go, he immediately took out his bow and arrows and spurred his horse to chase after him!

"Yan University, you guys should go and help him!"

Liu Wei ordered the eighteen riders of Yanyun to provide cover.

At this moment, Shi Tugu was a hundred paces away from Liu Wei, and there were densely packed Xiongnu soldiers between them.

Wang Fangyi and the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun instantly carved a bloody path through the enemy lines.

Meanwhile, Corpse Bone had already left the battle.

At the same time, Zhang Liao also noticed the unusual movement of this small group of Xiongnu troops and immediately deduced that it was the location of the Xiongnu leader. He then took out his bow and arrows and gave chase.

Wang Fangyi and Zhang Liao approached the corpse-like bone from both sides, spotted an opening, and simultaneously drew their bows and arrows.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

The bow is drawn to its fullest extent, and the arrow flies like lightning.

Two arrows shot toward the corpse bone from different directions.

Shi Tu Gu sensed the murderous intent approaching in an instant and immediately lay prone on his horse.
