One of the strongest tribes in the Northern Di, King Zhelan, who started with thirteen sets of armor and seized the three states of Feng, Sheng and Yun in the southern part of the Daqing Mountains, made a timely and wise response after discovering that his army heading south had entered the encirclement set up by Dayin's Minister of War and Governor of Hedong Road.
In the early morning, four thousand cavalry were sent to intercept Dayin's two ambushes.
In King Zhelan's camp, they held their ground and waited for Dayin's troops to come out and attack.
Just when Fan Nan discovered that his ambush was exposed, and in a hurry he only left 2,000 people to guard the camp, and all 21,000 people left the camp to charge towards the Tatar camp, King Zhelan took the lead, wearing golden armor, and rushed out with nearly 4,000 cavalry.
Four thousand cavalrymen came sweeping in like a flood.
If the 21,000 Dayin soldiers retreated at this moment, it would be too late to assist the main camp in defense, so they had to meet the enemy on the spot.
The war broke out!
Outside Wu Zhou City, tens of thousands of people were fighting.
The sky was dark and the sun and moon had no light.
Fan Nan personally beat the drum in the camp to cheer on the troops.
Apart from trying his best to defeat the 4,000 Tatar cavalry in front of him when the Tatars were divided, he now had no way to retreat.
Twenty-one thousand Dayin soldiers against four thousand cavalrymen will take at least half a day to fight.
If the troops from Wuzhou City and the main camp were to send in more support, perhaps we could gain an advantage.
When two brave men meet on a narrow road, the braver one wins!
However, facing the fierce Tatar cavalry, the Dayin army was no longer the invincible army that made foreign races tremble two hundred years ago.
After hundreds of years, they have become corrupt, rotten, desolate, bloated, afraid of death, and lacking in blood!
They only held out for an hour before they could no longer hold on.
Zezhou Zhechongfu retreated, Qinzhou Zhechongfu retreated, Cizhou Zhechongfu retreated, Jiangzhou, Puzhou, Yizhou, Shizhou...
Eleven Zhechoufu fell like dominoes.
In the end, the soldiers ignored the orders and fled like a tide.
The battlefield was littered with the corpses of Dayin soldiers.
Corpses were everywhere and blood flowed like a river.
On the top of Wuzhou City, Sun Jizong and another captain watched helplessly as the Tatar cavalry penetrated and cut into Dayin's army, and fresh lives were lost one after another.
How dare they leave the city to help in the battle?
The Tatar cavalry had taken the initiative on the battlefield and quickly rushed into Dayin's camp.
The eight Zhechoufu and 16,000 ambush troops in Heituo Mountain and Hongtao Mountain were stopped by 4,000 Tatar cavalry respectively and could never come back!
Even if they arrived, they would not be able to turn the tide.
"Teacher, let's retreat!"
Yang Jian came running over covered in blood, pleading, "I'll cover your retreat. You lead your troops back to Shuozhou City first. We still have a chance to make a comeback!"
"It was I who was careless and underestimated the enemy, and acted on my own, leading to a grave mistake that resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands of soldiers on the battlefield! I will not leave!"
Fan Nan looked much older in an instant, with a stubborn look on his face, determined to live and die with his soldiers.
He must be held responsible for the failure of this war.
Even if he could return to the capital alive, he would definitely be impeached, dismissed from office, punished, or even beheaded.
"Fan Tong, take the teacher away quickly!" Yang Jian hurriedly signaled to Fan Tong.
Fan Tong and several other servants dragged Fan Nan away.
Seeing Fan Nan leave, Yang Jian looked tragic and heroic. He turned around and rushed towards the Tatar cavalry with the remaining 400 cavalrymen.
However, it was a one-way trip, and soon disappeared in the waves of Tatar cavalry.
When King Zhelan saw that Dayin's army had collapsed across the board, he led his cavalry in pursuit and pursued them all the way until he stopped at the city of Shuozhou.
Of the 23,000 main forces of Dayin Hedong Road and the troops of the twelve Zhechoufu, only 5,000 escaped back to Shuozhou. Countless soldiers were killed in battle, missing, or fled.
The two ambushes were intercepted by the Tatar cavalry and could not join the main force. They could only retreat back into the mountains and take a detour to another place.
The Heituo Mountain retreated all the way to Pianguan, and the Hongtao Mountain retreated all the way to Weizhou.
The four thousand Tatar cavalry naturally did not go into the mountains to pursue, but returned to join forces with King Zhelan.
King Zhelan left 2,000 soldiers to continue besieging Wuzhou City, and the remaining 7,000 soldiers surrounded Shuozhou.
At this point, the battle between Dayin and King Zhelan of the Northern Di ended with Dayin's crushing defeat.
......
now!
At the foot of the Daqing Mountains, a long team was marching quickly.
The leader was a handsome man with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and his expression was solemn.
He was surrounded by more than ten followers who were dressed in plain clothes on the outside but armored inside.
Following closely behind were more than 300 foreign men riding war horses.
These foreign men were wearing Tartar armor and felt hats.
At first glance, I thought they were three hundred armored Tartar cavalry.
Behind these cavalrymen were about 1,600 Dayin people.
They walked hurriedly, covered in dust, staring at the cold wind on the grassland, and walked quickly towards the southeast.
This group consisted of Zhao Muyun's Shidun Army, four Bai family bodyguards who had pledged their allegiance to Zhao Muyun, three hundred Wuhuan cavalrymen including Huan Naxue, and one thousand six hundred Dayin people who had just been rescued from the Tartars.
Most of the Dayin people who were captured by the Tartars as slaves had their homes destroyed, had no relatives, and were alone.
They all begged Zhao Muyun to take them in and take them back to Dayin.
Among these 1,600 Dayin people, there were actually 40 to 50 people like Lin Feng, who were also border soldiers from Yun, Sheng, Feng and Yin who were captured after being invaded by the Tartars.
Most of the remaining 1,500 Dayin people were strong and healthy.
Otherwise, he would not have been captured by the Tartars and forced to do hard labor like building a city.
Now we are behind the Tatars, and one more person means one more strength.
