I still say that, anyway, the welfare on both sides is pretty good, I just want to farm well, I don't want to care about it, and I don't care about any disputes among kings, princes, generals and ministers. Can you two decide the winner quickly, whoever wins will be our follower?
Chapter 192: There are Two Suns in the Sky
In November of the fifth year of Zhongping, Liu Zhuang's troops arrived at Shangai and continued with the old tactics, digging deep trenches and building high fortifications, deploying siege weapons, building strong camps, and fighting stupid battles. This tactic was old-fashioned but effective. It did not reveal any flaws, did not do anything fancy, and just fought head-on, relying on overwhelming strength to crush the enemy!
At the same time, Lu Bu was also supporting in the south. The fortress of Shangai was built on a three-way intersection, connected to Jingxing in the north, Jinyang, the heart of Taiyuan County in the east, and Shangdang County in the south. He fought along the road from the east. After meeting up with his best friend Zhang Yang, Lu Bu was launching a fierce attack to the south. At this moment, he had flattened Zhan County and continued to move north.
Both the central and southern routes went smoothly. Gao Huan in the north also led his men to attack the Qin people. It was not because of her incompetence or that the Black Mountain Army in the north was too strong. After all, Liu Zhuang was fighting the Black Mountain main force. It was simply because Yanmen County in the north was too far away. The central and southern routes had already started to destroy the city walls, and Gao Huan had just arrived in Yanmen County.
At this moment, Zhang Yan was also desperate. He dispatched soldiers from Youzhou and Jizhou to Shangai to fight. At the same time, he sent a group of bandits who were extremely good at surviving in the wild, with a large amount of food, to climb over the Taihang Mountains where there was no road at all to Guangmu City. He wanted to incite the local Black Mountain Army, cut off Liu Zhuang's retreat, and force them to retreat.
However, the local people had remained neutral under the welfare benefits of Liuzhuang. They neither agreed nor refused the Black Mountain Army, and provided these uncles with good food and drink. Then they said that they only wanted to farm and did not want to fight, which made Zhang Yan somewhat desperate and increased the danger level of Liuzhuang to the highest level.
He was not afraid of the aristocratic families in Youzhou and Jizhou. No matter how powerful they were, they would not treat the common people as human beings. Therefore, no matter how many times he failed, he could rely on the fighting methods he had summed up and make a comeback in another place. After obtaining land and food, the local people would even spontaneously cover the Black Mountain Army in battle.
However, as long as he was defeated by Liu Zhuang once, the local people would remain neutral or even side with Liu Zhuang, because people like Liu Zhuang who had climbed up from the bottom knew the importance of the people just like himself and would provide a lot of benefits.
For his own Montenegrin army, this kind of talent is the most terrifying.
After defeating Guangmu, Liu Zhuang had recovered all the land in Taiyuan County. He was now attacking Shangai, and the next one to be attacked was Jingxing, both of which were under the jurisdiction of the Jizhou Provincial Administration - Changshan State.
Although this is the eastern throat of the entire Bingzhou Prefecture, the Han Emperor deliberately cut out the key throats of various places and gave them to other prefectures in order to prevent local powers from splitting up. For example, the natural barrier of the Yellow River in Jizhou, the largest province in the world, is in the hands of Yanzhou and Qingzhou.
And the important Jingxing Road in Bingzhou is in the hands of Jizhou.
However, this splitting mechanism that can prevent local powers from splitting up has now completely gotten out of control. Shangai and Jingxing have fallen into the hands of the Black Mountain Army anyway. As long as I can take it back, it will be mine!
It is only November now, and he still has two months. If he continues at this pace, Liu Zhuang feels that he can retake Shangai and Jingxing before the New Year, and then disband the army and let everyone go back to celebrate the New Year.
At this moment, in order to appease the troops, Liu Zhuang also solemnly promised the entire army that the war would be over before New Year's Eve, so that everyone could return home with rich spoils and have a good New Year!
With Liu Zhuang's promise, the soldiers' morale was boosted again. A large number of Han troops, under the cover of a large number of siege weapons, began to attack the walls of Shangai City! Yuwen Tai dug three feet into the ground again, digging out a series of tunnels that extended in all directions. The sound of the giant marmot digging the tunnel was very small, and conventional reconnaissance methods could not predict it at all. Liu Zhuang even rode Tuoba Yun to the sky, occupying the advantage of the sky, and overlooking the entire battlefield with his double pupils, taking in the defensive deployment of the Black Mountain Army.
Zhang Yan suffered a complete defeat on the underground, ground and sky three-dimensional battlefields. He knew that he could not defeat Liu Zhuang head-on and could only pray that his allies would arrive soon.
Ten days later, just as Liu Zhuang led his army to defeat Shangai, which was on the verge of collapse and the western wall of Shangai changed hands several times, Murong Xianbei moved south.
A terrifying news came from the north. The Murong Xianbei, who had just moved south from the desert this year, occupied Dai County and parts of Yanmen, and established their capital in Pingcheng, launched a fierce attack on the last few strongholds of Yanmen County in the Pingcheng Basin after a short rest for a few months! The vanguard was Murong Chong, the eldest son of the Murong leader, and the famous Murong Jun, Murong Chui, Murong Ke and a group of brothers and sisters were behind. Yanmen prefect Guo Yan could no longer hold on and immediately asked Liu Zhuang for help.
Originally in Liu Zhuang's plan, Murong Xianbei could not attack southwards. Even if they did, it would be a feint to support the attack. There was no reason for them to launch a full-scale attack: You cooperated with the Xiongnu from March to August this year, fighting against the elite border troops of the Han Dynasty and occupying most of Yanmen County. Don't you need to rest? Don't you need to stabilize the rear? Do you really dare to launch a main attack again now? !
The person closest to Guo Wei was Gao Huan, the commander of the Northern Army, but she had only 10,000 troops. It was okay for her to fight against the Black Mountain Army of the Qin people, but it was definitely not enough to fight the Black Mountain Army while dividing her troops to attack others. She had to provide support.
Lu Bu and myself were attacking the Jingxing fortress group with all our might, preparing to take Jingxing into our possession. Neither of us could leave. All our resources were limited, and we had already used them all to attack the Black Mountain Army from three sides. We had no extra troops left.
At this moment, Liu Zhuang encountered a very difficult strategic choice.
Should he defend Yinguan and Loufan, the last two fortresses in the Pingcheng Basin, or seize Jingxingkou?
The next year, the Han emperor will pass away, and the world will be in chaos. The eighteen princes will fight against Dong Zhuo, and then the whole Jizhou will become Yuan Shao's territory. Although Yuan Shao was portrayed as a bad person in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, in fact Yuan Shao was very terrifying.
The Yuan family had three dukes in four generations. In the family history, there were four people who held the highest official positions in the Eastern Han Dynasty: Taiwei, Situ, and one of the Sikong.
The officials recommended by the Yuan family were not small clerks or minor officials, but they directly recruited people to the center of Luoyang, and the scope of their recommendation of filial and honest officials was the entire Han Empire! The fact that students and former officials were all over the world was by no means as simple as a sentence.
As the governor of Hedong, he promoted the noble families of Hedong and Bingzhou to serve as his clerks and minor officials, and married Guo from Yangqu. It took him five years to initially win the trust and loyalty of the noble families of Hedong and Bingzhou.
However, the Yuan family promoted young men from aristocratic families across the entire Han Empire, and had them come directly to Luoyang to serve as government officials or to hold important positions in local areas. The entire empire was filled with students and former officials of the Yuan family. Just as the young men from the aristocratic families in Hedong regarded themselves as their second masters, people all over the world regarded the Yuan family as their second masters.
There are two suns in the sky, and I am loyal to both Your Majesty and Lord Yuan.
Not only that, the Runan Yuan family has also been intermarried with the Hongnong Yang family, which also has three dukes for four generations, and other super aristocratic families for hundreds of years! The foundation is terrifying.
This super behemoth with disciples and followers all over the world is a true leader of a noble family. All the noble families of the Han Dynasty followed the lead of the Yuan family of Runan, and Yuan Shao inherited all the political heritage of the Yuan family.
Even after Yuan Shao was defeated in the Battle of Guandu, his strength still crushed Cao Cao. He could wait a few years and then go south to fight Guandu again. The Battle of Guandu was just a minor injury for Yuan Shao. He had such a strong foundation that he was not seriously injured at all.
If Yuan Shao had not died suddenly of illness, and his children had started a civil war to fight for the family inheritance, it is very likely that Yuan Shao rather than Cao Cao would have become the King of the North.
This level of monster is about to appear in the world's largest province, Jizhou, which has a population of six million and is four or five times the size of his own. If he doesn't take down such a critical place as Jingxing as soon as possible, reinforce it, manage it, and block his own eastern gate, he will have to fight Yuan Shao for supremacy in the north???
What's more, there is a strengthened Black Mountain Army in Jizhou that keeps harassing us. If I can't control Jingxing, the entire Taiyuan County will become a frontline battlefield. If they come to harass me again during the spring plowing next year, will I still be able to farm? Jingxing must be taken back as quickly as possible!

Chapter 193: Saving People and Losing Land
However, the Xianbei rebellion in Yanmen in the north cannot be ignored...
Liu Zhuang looked at the map. The Pingcheng Basin in the north of Yanmen had been destroyed, with only two cities left. However, all the farmlands under the jurisdiction of the two cities had been destroyed. The people in the county town were about to run out of food. If they insisted on maintaining the situation, they would even have to transport food for thousands of miles, across the 50-kilometer-long Hengshan Mountain Road, to transport food and grass to Yinguan and Loufan to supply food and drink to the two cities where all the surrounding rural areas and pastures had fallen.
In the end, Liu Zhuang made a difficult decision and handed over the command of the central army battlefield to Guo Huai. He gave her a death order, at all costs, to lead the army to continue to attack Shangai, and after joining forces with Lu Bu, to capture Jingxing. Jingxing must be controlled in his own hands!
He led these 2,400 personal soldiers and Zhang Liao's 2,500 troops to the north to meet up with Gao Huan, the commander of the northern army, and Guo Xun, the prefect of Yanmen!
There was no way to fight in the Pingcheng Basin. After Ding Yuan took away all the Han border troops, the entire Pingcheng Basin was wide open and there was no place to defend. It was only a matter of time before death, and there was no way to save themselves.
Now, they could only abandon the only two remaining cities of Loufan and Yinguan north of Hengshan Mountain and move the defense line southward to Guangwu-Fenyang line. Relying on the dangers of mountains and rivers in this generation, they would rebuild the defense and wait for an opportunity to counterattack.
We will try our best to take all the people with us, and immediately find ways to reclaim wasteland in the mainland. I will be responsible for all the food they provide after they migrate south!
As soon as Liu Zhuang came here, he witnessed how inhumane the local officials were when they relocated the people. He was also one of the victims and almost died on the way of relocation.
In order to prevent this from happening personally, he handed over the command of the central army to Guo Huai, and personally came to the north to supervise the battle with Tuoba Yun, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and other generals - because I had also been caught in the rain, so I wanted to hold an umbrella for everyone.
Besides, if the people survive but the land is lost, both the people and the land will survive; if the land survives but the people are lost, both the people and the land will be lost.
On the Shangai side, Liu Zhuang took a quarter of the army and secretly left under the cover of night.
After Guo Huai took over the command, he immediately ordered the remaining three quarters of the army to continue to attack Shangai! Yuwen Tai was elusive underground, and 15,000 Han soldiers were fighting wildly on the ground. A large number of Bingzhou's noble families gathered together and bombarded the Black Mountain Army's defense line with Confucianism. The overwhelming flaming fireballs broke the Black Mountain Army's long-range detection. The magic counterattacks all over the mountains suppressed the Huangtian believers' magic troops to silence, and they couldn't release any magic. Unfortunately, they didn't have the advantage of the sky.
But even without the air force, Guo Huai's military advantage was amazing enough. After another round of bombardment with Confucianism and crossbows, she directly sent Zhang He and Xu Huang to lead their heavy infantry to attack the Black Mountain Army's defense line from the city gates and the collapsed city walls. She also drove the siege tower to the collapsed city wall, allowing a large number of elite Han army archers to hide on top of the siege tower and shoot at the Black Mountain Army formation from a high position.
Under the cover of rain of arrows and magic spells, the two powerful generals Zhang He and Xu Huang worked together and almost simultaneously broke down the defenses of the Black Mountain Army. On November 20th of the fifth year of Zhongping, they successfully captured Shangai.
On November 23, the fifth year of Zhongping, Guo Huai imitated Liu Zhuang's policy towards Guangmu City, allowing the local people to choose neutrality in the struggle for the hearts and minds of the people between Liu Zhuang and Zhang Yan. After initially controlling the city, he joined forces with Lu Bu and launched a fierce attack on the final Jingxing Pass.
At this moment, Liu Zhuang also rushed to the northern war zone. In the north, Murong Xianbei used all the strength of the clan to launch two attacks on Loufan and Yinguan. The Black Mountain Army from the Qin direction became more rampant and violent after learning that their allies had joined the war. These three-pronged war gave Liu Zhuang a headache.
At this critical moment, Gao Huan, after obtaining the hard-earned position of commander-in-chief, also cherished this opportunity to show himself and helped Liu Zhuang solve the troubles along the way.
She first surrounded the Qin people, deployed siege towers, and began to smash the city walls with catapults. After a siege of about ten days, she retreated under the cover of night, leaving behind a large number of siege weapons, wooden chevaux de frise, pots and pans, and even gold and silver jewelry in the camp.
The next day, the Black Mountain Army, which had been tortured by the siege for more than ten days, found that the Han Army had retreated, and they also danced and cheered to celebrate - Great! Under the double attack of the Black Mountain Army and Murong Xianbei, the Han Army chose to attack Murong Xianbei first! We don't have to face such a powerful Han Army!
When they discovered that there were a lot of things in the Han army camp that were not taken away, especially several siege towers and catapults, which were very conspicuous, they immediately sent troops to transport these things back to the city and study the Han army's technology.
Everything was normal at first, but the Black Mountain Army, which was in charge of the transportation, found that the Han Army had retreated in a hurry last night, and there were a lot of treasures left in the camp, and a lot of baggage had not been moved away in time. They immediately became unable to move, so they picked up a large iron pot left by the Han Army, stuffed half a stone of grain, three pieces of cloth, and two strings of copper coins into it, then grabbed the handle of the large iron pot with both hands and dragged it into the city, leaving a long gully on the land behind them.
"Hey? Where did you get this thing???"
When he returned to the city, the other Black Mountain soldiers saw him and immediately asked questions in astonishment.
"In the camp outside! The Han army retreated in a hurry last night and didn't take many things with them! It is estimated that the Murong Xianbei in the north played a big trick on them! Maybe they directly broke through the Yin Pavilion and killed several high-ranking officials, causing the Han generals here to not care about so much and go directly to rescue Yanmen!"
The first Montenegrin soldier to return said happily.
"Hurry up! Get some carts ready! Go make some money in the Han army camp!"
The news that a large amount of supplies were left in the Han army camp spread quickly from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, spreading among the Black Mountain Army like a plague. In the early morning, only the troops dispatched by the local garrison were dismantling and transporting the Han army camp.
But in the morning, the entire Black Mountain Army, and even some civilians in the Qinren City, rushed out of the city to loot supplies in Gao Huan's camp. There was a lot of chaos and all their attention was focused on the supplies and treasures inside the camp.
The Black Mountain Army's military discipline was obviously no match for this kind of scene, and even the garrison commander came in person to snatch supplies - I have been exploited by local officials for thirty years, and my land was taken away from me. Now Zhang Yan has finally rescued me. I am really tired of being poor.
At this moment, Gao Huan personally led all his cavalry and rushed out from the nearby woodland like a nightmare! They caught them off guard! The galloping of thousands of horses made the earth tremble, and thousands of flags fluttered to block out the sun. The Han army roared in unison, and the Xianbei screamed like the roar of demons, frightening the enemy to death.
"Cavalry! Cavalry! Lots of cavalry!!!"
The general of the Qin people held half a piece of cloth in his left hand and a bag of grain in his right hand. He rushed into battle with several strings of copper coins hanging on his belt and the handle of his sword. He tried to pull out his sword several times but failed - the copper coins had entangled the sword and the belt together.
He finally pulled the knife out, but broke the rope that tied the coins together, and hundreds of five-zhu coins fell to the ground with a jingling sound.
The highest general of the Xianbei people was of such character, and his soldiers were not much better. By the time they saw Gao Huan leading a large number of mixed Han and Xianbei cavalry towards them, it was already too late.
When these farmers saw the Han army's iron cavalry approaching, their first reaction was not even to gather to fight, but to run around screaming. At this moment, these thousands of people did not look like an army, but rather like a bustling market. The moment they saw Gao Huan's overwhelming cavalry, they were already in an uproar.
"Support the Han Dynasty! Kill the traitors!"
Gao Huan flapped his wings as black as night and soared above the battlefield, letting the shadow of his wings cover the enemy's heads.
Behind her, thousands of cavalrymen marched in unison, their hooves flying, dust covering the sun, and the mighty Han cavalry were like a black torrent, moving with the force of rolling over mountains and overturning seas! The entire earth was trembling slightly under their hooves.
"Support the Han Dynasty! Kill the traitors!!!"
The soldiers roared like thunder. War horses, one meter five or six meters tall at the shoulder, neighed, galloped, and charged forward with roars. Their wide nostrils spewed out thick white mist. Their bright eyes flashed with fiery fighting spirit. The heavy cavalry in the front charged with lances to tear apart the enemy's formation, the heavy cavalry on both sides swung and tore apart the enemy's bodies with halberds, and the light cavalry in the middle and at the end covered the battle with arrows that covered the sky.
Before the two sides engaged in battle, the light cavalry began shooting feather arrows on the bumpy backs of their horses. The sky full of arrows was like a dark cloud pressing down on the sky, densely flying towards the enemy positions, making a creepy and piercing scream; then it turned into a downpour, dripping down on the heads of the enemy, shooting them to pieces and leaving blood splattered. The originally chaotic situation became even more chaotic!
At this moment, the leading heavy cavalry also roared and charged into the enemy group. Countless Black Mountain soldiers were pierced by long spears, countless soldiers were knocked away by war horses, and countless militiamen were crushed by horses' hooves! The halberd cavalry responsible for covering on both sides waved their halberds, slashing left and right, killing the Black Mountain army and making them stagger and collapse. The whole army, with an unstoppable momentum, smashed the chaotic formation of the Yellow Turbans head-on!
The cavalry's terrifying combat capability could exert 300% of its combat effectiveness when charging at the infantry, which had no formation due to fighting for spoils. It was as easy as taking something out of a bag to crush the enemy. After discovering that the front army was defeated by a round of cavalry charge, the Black Mountain army that was not affected by the cavalry began to flee directly into the city. A large number of militiamen crowded at the narrow entrance of the city gate, crying for their parents, and scrambling to get into the city. As a result, no one could get in, and the city gate couldn't be closed!
Gao Huan looked down from the sky and saw that the entire Black Mountain Army was like the Yellow River that had burst its banks, with densely packed soldiers running all over the place in a chaotic mess.
"Don't run! Anyone who retreats will die!"
Some Yellow Turban officers tried to reverse the situation, but if their fellow villagers really ran away from them, they themselves could not bear to do it. They believed that if they retreated, they would die. How could others care about them?
After smashing the enemy's formation, Gao Huan used flag signals in the sky to command a large number of cavalry to disperse in the crowd and launch an attack towards the positions of the large yellow flags. He pierced the enemy generals with long spears and chopped them into pieces with long halberds, and made the large yellow flags fall to the dust. It was like a scalpel, accurately eliminating the command system of the Black Mountain Army.
Not only that, a pair of cavalrymen rushed directly to the Qinren City, crushing the crowd along the way, seizing the city gate, hacking and killing along the way, crushing the corpses of hundreds of Black Mountain soldiers, and rushed directly into the city!
Therefore, when Liu Zhuang arrived at the northern war zone, the Yan people had already been captured by Gao Huan, and the head of the local defender was chopped off by her personally and hung at the city gate. The Black Mountain Army that invaded Yanmen County was completely defeated by Gao Huan. In view of the fact that a large number of Black Mountain Army were reinforcing Zhang Yan, the Black Mountain Army in Yanmen could no longer form combat effectiveness in a short period of time, and Liu Zhuang could concentrate all his efforts on fighting against the invading Murong Xianbei.
Chapter 194: The Widow Queen
On December 2, the fifth year of Zhongping, Liu Zhuang began the demolition work in Yanmen County. For this purpose, he levied a wave of corvee labor on the livestock of Yuwen Xianbei living in Taiyuan County and Xiutu Xiongnu living in Xihe County. He temporarily requisitioned a lot of their horses, wild boars, and squirrels, and used them with carriages urgently made by Han craftsmen to transport food and relocate 30,000 Han people from the two cities back to the safe interior.
Thanks to the two general attacks launched by Murong Xianbei this year like a madman, regardless of cost, the 30,000 Han people were eager to stay away from Murong Xianbei. Guo Wei also completely gave up the northern half of Yanmen County and agreed to withdraw to the safer south.
Liu Zhuang also promised everyone that the current retreat was only a temporary measure. From the moment Ding Yuan took away all the border troops, the Pingcheng Basin was doomed to fall. Not to mention me, the prefect of Hedong, even the Emperor of Han would not be able to save us.
But. I am here, pointing to the Luoshui River that runs through the Pingcheng Basin and swearing! One day, I will accumulate enough strength for us to fight back to Pingcheng and Mayi; even return to Dingxiang and Wuyuan, and take back our lost homeland! I will drive those Hu people who are unwilling to surrender to the north of Yinshan Mountain, leaving no one behind!
Liu Zhuang's oath barely saved the morale of the remaining soldiers in Yanmen, including Guo Yu, and restored some of their morale.
In this way, 10,000 people from Loufan went through the Fen River Basin, went south to Fenyang, and then turned into Jinyang.
The 20,000 people in Yinguan retreated to Guangwu through the Yinguan-Guangwu mountain pass in the Hengshan Mountains.
The retreat and demolition work in Yanmen was carried out in an orderly manner. Thanks to the four-year military farming system in Liuzhuang, three consecutive years of taxation, and the large number of livestock provided by two waves of naturalized Hu people, there were almost no cases of people starving to death on the migration route. The Han army even had enough energy to let the elderly and children sit in the carriages, and some young and middle-aged people who were not feeling well either rode or lay on the backs of these pack horses and wild boars. They slowly retreated southward at a speed of 15 kilometers a day, passing through this mountain road of about 50 kilometers.
If we march at this speed, it will only take four days to complete the retreat. The consumption of food and fodder for tens of thousands of livestock is too great, but compared with the lives of 30,000 civilians, it is nothing.
Generals such as Liu Zhuang, Gao Huan, and Zhang Liao led the army and personally guarded the rear. They waited until all the people had left before giving up the defense of Yinguan. The Loufan burned the two cities and all the baggage that could not be taken away, leaving no food for Murong Xianbei.
Faced with Liu Zhuang's tough move, Murong Xianbei was also a little confused. The treasures of Yinguan and Loufan counties were all stored in the two cities. You either burned them or took them away directly. Then what on earth was I going south for this time? ? ?
Seeing that Liu Zhuang was about to leave, Murong Chong, who was eager to establish his achievements and build up his prestige in the tribe, became anxious and immediately led his troops to pursue him!
After Liu Zhuang burned Yin Pavilion and retreated for just one hour, he found that the ground was shaking and dust was rising in the distant sky. Everything indicated that a large-scale cavalry was approaching. He was helpless and immediately ordered the entire army to stop retreating and line up in the mountain pass to meet the enemy!
The Han army immediately deployed in an orderly manner, and at the end of the narrow mountain pass that could only accommodate ten horses at the same time, they began a series of standard anti-cavalry measures: first, they sprinkled a layer of caltrops on the ground. These iron spikes on the four corners would cause bleeding if stepped on. Although they could not pierce the horse's hooves, if the warhorse stepped on the sharp spikes of the caltrops, it would definitely lose balance and might even cause the horse to fall on the caltrops and become a bloody mess.
Then they put up a layer of barricades made up of countless sharp wooden stakes and deer horns. If the cavalry dared to charge, they would crash into these dense and sharp wooden stakes and bleed.
Finally, the carriages were pulled out and placed on the third floor. Even if the Xianbei people were stubborn and could knock over the antlers and chevaux de frise, they would be hindered by these heavy carriages. A large number of shields were fixed on the north side of the carriages to form a shield wall. Then a large number of elite heavy armored infantrymen stood directly on the carriages. Under the cover of the shields, they took out crossbows and prepared to give the Xianbei people a head-on blow!
Liu Zhuang made all the arrangements, and then found that Murong Xianbei's army was rushing towards him. They were waving scarlet bloodthirsty flags. The brass totems on the flags looked a bit like skulls and rabbit ears.
The Murong centaurs who were at the forefront had pieces of terrifying brass armor growing out of their flesh and blood. These bloody brass armor had completely merged with the flesh and blood of the Khorne centaurs, and they were indistinguishable from each other! Horrifying words that were almost like the roars of wild beasts came out of the mouths of the Khorne centaurs. Liu Zhuang, Tuoba Yun, and Yuwen Tai had learned a lot of Xianbei language, and could barely understand it at this moment. The other party was shouting...
"Blood sacrifice to the Blood God! Skull sacrifice to the Skull Throne!!!"
"Be careful! Most of the older generation of warriors of the Tuoba Xianbei and Yuwen Xianbei were killed in the internal strife of the Xianbei after the death of Great Chanyu Tan Shihuai. Yuwen Tai and I both took the remaining assets of our fathers and redeveloped on the grassland, but the Murong Xianbei are different!
When Great Chanyu Tan Shihuai was in power, the Murong Xianbei were the most violent vanguard army under his command. The biggest characteristic of their clan was that they extremely worshipped the divine dog Ao Zun, which is Khorne in Chinese. Murong Jun, Murong Chui, Murong Ke, Murong Han and other half brothers and sisters all believed in Khorne and had extremely terrifying fighting power!
Especially Murong Chui, Murong Chui was the number one general under the command of the Great Chanyu Tan Shihuai, and he had been roaming the grassland for thirty years without being defeated!
Even the Great Chanyu Tan Shihuai was unable to defeat Murong Chui on the battlefield, and finally he married her through marriage and united with the Murong Xianbei, thus completing the unification of the Xianbei. Murong Chui was the wife of the previous Great Chanyu, which is the queen in Chinese.
And Murong Ke, after Murong Chui married away, became the most bloodthirsty and ruthless vanguard and the most valiant and skilled commander among the Murong Xianbei. "
Tuoba Yun said with some fear after seeing the flag of Murong Xianbei clearly.
Liu Zhuang nodded, and while he was on high alert, he was also daydreaming, oh, Murong Chui is a little widow in this world line, and a queen of the grassland.
When the vanguard of Murong Xianbei entered the canyon, they were a little confused when they saw the caltrops on the ground and the wooden barricades that stretched across the entire canyon. Several soldiers spread out more than 20 spare arrows like fans, tied them to spears with the feathers facing outwards, and made a few improvised brooms in an attempt to sweep away the dense caltrops that covered the canyon and clear a path for the army to charge.
