Chapter 322: Overwhelming Power [Subscription Request]

The rear army of the Western Xianbei was stationed in an area about 300 miles north of the Hexi Corridor.

Kuitou led the troops personally.

That night, after nightfall, he walked out of the royal tent and looked towards the south.

As the leader of the Western Xianbei, ruling over dozens of tribes, he also had good fortune and was in harmony with the world of the grassland.

When he looked towards the south, he suddenly felt a palpitation inexplicably.

Kuitou suddenly crossed his arms and made a whistle-like sound from his mouth.

In the night sky, there was also an eagle half a man's height swooping down.

The nomadic tribes on the grasslands have the earliest history of falconry.

They even have their own special "eagle language", which allows them to learn the message conveyed by the eagle by observing its flying posture in the sky.

The eagle is their best eye.

The sentinel eagle, Kuitou, was particularly strong and good at flying, and had made great contributions to him.

He blew a whistle and waved his arms, and the eagle flapped its wings and flew south to help him get the news!

The time when Kuitou releases the eagle is usually at the hour of Hai.

The eagle flew far away and arrived over Wushaoling after midnight.

Cao Cao was at the edge of the battlefield in Motuo City when he felt a sense of something and looked back at the night sky. It was because the nighthawk on which he placed his divine consciousness had spotted another hawk approaching and was lingering around.

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and looked at the eagle in the sky, then quickly looked away without making a sound.

The eagle observed in the air for a while, then turned around and flew back.

About an hour later, the eagle flew back to where Kuitou was stationed and landed above Kuitou's tent.

Kuitou's personal soldiers took out a prairie mouse to feed the eagle.

The eagle first blinded the prairie mouse's eyes and then began to enjoy the delicious meal.

When it tears at the prairie mice, it spreads its wings and makes frequent swooping movements, which are conveying eagle messages.

Kuitou walked out of the tent, observed the eagle's signal, and frowned slightly.

Eagle News told him that the vanguard troops he sent out were engaged in battle.

There was a war tonight!

This is one day earlier than the scheduled time.

What happened to cause the war to start early? !

If the situation changes and they need to take action early, Mo Ga will definitely pass the message back.

In other words, if a war breaks out at this time, it is likely that Moga's team will be attacked passively?

The Han army is coming... Kuitou made a quick judgment.

It turned out that the Han army attacked first... Kuitou paced back and forth and said, "Send a message to Na He, and ask him to lead the troops to advance southward. The Moga tribe may be under attack by the enemy, so ask Na He to provide support."

Before the guards went to pass on the message, Kui Tou added:
"Tell Na He that this Han army is very strong. It might be the same army that defeated the Eastern Xianbei. Don't underestimate the enemy."

After the messenger left, Kuitou looked at the sky.

It's approaching early morning.

The eagle took more than an hour and a half to go back and forth, and the distance was about three hundred miles. Even if they marched at a fast speed, it should be noon tomorrow when the rear army arrived.

Fifty miles south of Kuitou's central army, there was another vanguard army of the Western Xianbei, led by the general Na He.

He received an order from Kuitou to break camp overnight and advance southward to prepare to meet the Moga tribe.

Kui Tou thought for a long time in the big tent, and gave another order:

“Blow the trumpet and send a fast horse to inform all the tribes under our command.

The Han army came to our Western Xianbei and wanted to go to war with us.

Let all tribes be vigilant and not make the same mistake as when the Eastern Xianbei were attacked."

"Western Xianbei need more soldiers and horses to defeat the main force of the Han army. We need to mobilize warriors from all tribes to gather at my location. At the same time, we will send out a messenger eagle to inform the Central Xianbei and ask them if they are interested in hunting the Han army with us.

If we win this battle, I will share the spoils equally with all the major tribes!"

The imperial guards wrote down his series of orders and rushed out to pass them on.

early morning.

In the Western Xianbei king's tent, a giant war horn made of a string of ox horns was blown.

The sound of the horn was blowing in the wind, whistling in a low voice.

Many Xianbei scouts were also heading in all directions to mobilize the Western Xianbei tribes for war.

Kui Tou thought: "My elite Western Xianbei will defeat and tear the Han army to pieces."

……

Cao Cao rode into Motuo City.

The city is long and narrow in shape. It is a small city formed by building houses on both sides of a narrow mountain wall.

Cao Cao chose to attack the city because the terrain here would make it difficult for the more numerous side to exert its strength.

There is only one straight main street in the city, extending to the back.

At the end of the street, you will enter a gourd-shaped valley behind the city.

A large group of Xianbei and Qiang people, more than 20,000 people, were stationed in the valley in the rear.

The limit for the stone city ahead is five to six thousand people.

Therefore, when the Han army rushed in, as long as they rushed to the end of the street and blocked the entrance to the valley, they could maintain a contact surface of dozens of people, fight with the enemy, and restrict their deployment.

On the contrary, the army's heavy cavalry, which consisted of only 59 men, were not hindered in this terrain.

There were shouts and cries of killing everywhere in the city.

Dropped weapons and corpses can be seen everywhere.

Taishi Ci stood on top of a building and shot at the entire army of Xianbei people.

The ground after entering the city was thickly stained with blood.

Those were the traces of war left behind when Xu Chu led a large number of cavalry into the city.

Cao Cao sat down and the sound of his horse's hooves hit the ground.

Each Wei soldier had four horses, but Boss Cao had the fewest horses, only three.

But they are Red Hare, Yellow Claw and Jueying, all of them are thousand-mile horses, and they are in full formation.

On the other side, Yin was committing murders everywhere in the city. His claws, mouth, and neck were all stained with blood from killing enemies.

Suddenly, an arrow shot over. Yin knocked the arrow away with one claw, roared like a tiger, and pounced on the opponent.

Boom!

A wall inside the city collapsed.

Dian Wei walked out of the smoke and dust, and in the mansion behind him, there were corpses everywhere. In his hand was a human head, which was that of Xianbei deputy general Feilu.

After Moga was killed, his deputy general led troops to surround and kill Dian Wei.

Dian Wei held two halberds and fought in the house until this moment, when he came out.

His armor was scarlet, and his hair was still dripping with the enemy's blood.

Suddenly, Dian Wei let out a long whistle, went to join Xu Chu and other heavy cavalry, and took over the position of the vanguard of the heavy cavalry.

The entire heavy cavalry army immediately changed their strategy and no longer defended the entrance of the valley, but instead took the initiative to charge into the valley at the rear.

Who is the hero who can destroy cities and capture strongholds?
"Who dares to stop my Wei army, stop my Dian Wei, ah——"

Dian Wei's roar shook the valley, and with one halberd he smashed a Xianbei soldier who was charging at him.

Just as Cao Cao predicted, the allied forces were not determined to fight and retreated when they encountered difficulties.

From the very beginning, Hu'etuo adopted a retreat approach.

They were planning to attack the Hexi Corridor, but the Han army arrived first.

Hu'etuo asked his subordinates to deliver two women to Moga. The subordinates happened to run into Moga and were beaten to death by Dian Wei.

Hu'etuo was shocked to learn that Moga had died before the battle.

They had no idea about the important information, such as how many Han troops had entered the city and how many soldiers had arrived.

How could Hu'etuo dare to fight rashly?

When Moga's deputy general led his personal army to surround and kill Dian Wei, Hu'etuo's first reaction was to run.

He came out of the mansion and ran directly to the valley behind to join up with the army.

He chose Motuo City as his base and to station his troops, so this place would certainly not be a dead end.

At the back of the valley, there is a path leading to the outer mountain pass.

While Hu'etuo shouted for Moga to be killed and ordered the Xianbei soldiers to counterattack and resist the Han army, he hid behind under the protection of his own troops and observed the enemy and our situation.

If anything went wrong, he would be ready to retreat.

When they saw the heavy cavalry of the Wei army appear, the entire army covered their faces with heavy armor and their horses were also covered with thick armor. They charged into the Xianbei army like a torrent of wind and rain. Hu'etuo gave an order and was the first to escape from the mountain pass behind.

No one is more familiar with the terrain here than him.

The allied forces of the Qiang tribes immediately followed and fled to the back mountain pass.

Once defeat is certain, running away is contagious.

Due to the huge pressure brought by the Wei army, and the deaths of Moga and his deputy Feilu, the Xianbei soldiers soon began to consider retreating.

It's bright.

There were corpses everywhere in the valley.

Most of the Xianbei and Qiang troops fled and retreated.

The confrontation turned into a chase.

The Xianbei soldiers fled out of the valley and tried to gather in an open area to fight again, but were defeated twice by Dian Wei and Xu Chu, and finally began to flee in all directions.

Taishi Ci and Cao Hong, leading the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, focused their efforts on tracking down Hu'etuo and gave him chase.

Early in the morning.

When Taishi Ci returned to the camp, Hu'etuo had been captured alive with an arrow in his left shoulder and became a prisoner.

At that time, Cao Cao was sitting in the main hall of the stone fortress, with Dian Wei and Xu Chu on his left and right, their armors stained with blood.

Dian Wei washed his hands and ate the donkey meat pie he brought with him, regardless of the blood all over his body.

This is his habit. He seizes the time after the battle to replenish his physical strength and be ready to fight again at any time.

Xu Chu watched him eat, and took Yin and Rui with him, and asked Dian Wei for a cake each.

Four guys, get together to eat cake.

Two Han army generals, covered in blood, were eating bread with a tiger and a leopard in the hall where the corpses had not been cleared away yet... Hu'etuo, who was brought in, almost thought they were eating human flesh and was terrified.

He fell to his knees as his soldiers pushed him and said:
"Respected Han general, your divine power is as irresistible as the storm on the grassland... It is these Xianbei people who force us to serve them."

Without Cao Cao asking, Hu'e Tuo began to confess, pouring out the truth like a bamboo tube:

"The Xianbei people contacted me and asked me to contact the Nanshan Qiang south of the Hexi Corridor and start a war with them. We are ready to attack the Hexi Corridor from both the north and south ends at the same time and carry out looting."

"The Xianbei army is also in the rear and may come at any time. They want to avenge the Han army's conquest of the Eastern Xianbei.

I can contact the Nanshan Qiang hiding in the Qilian Mountains to the south of Hexi for you and ask them to stop attacking Hexi."

There was only one thing he wanted to express, which was that he was still useful and so don't kill him.

Cao Cao said calmly: "The Nanshan Qiang want to attack Hexi, let them come."

----

Na He received an order from Kui Tou last night to move out of camp and march his troops southwards to support Mo Ga.

By noon the next day, he led his troops and approached Motuo City.

On the way, he encountered several teams of Xianbei soldiers who were defeated by the Han army.

After approaching Motuo City, Na He sent out scouts to thoroughly explore the inside and outside of the city, as well as the valleys in front and behind. After making sure that there were no ambushes near or far, he entered the city himself.

The Wei army has withdrawn and the city is silent.

When Na He arrived at the stone fort in the center, he couldn't help but be shocked.

What greeted me was the strong smell of blood.

Hundreds of Xianbei corpses were scattered around the courtyard.

In one place in the inner courtyard, there are the Xianbei warrior Moga, whose face is collapsed and almost unrecognizable, and his deputy Feilu.

The rest of the corpses were their own soldiers.

Na He calmly moved forward to investigate.

Almost all the corpses were killed in one blow, killed by weapons such as spears or halberds.

Some of the corpses were twisted beyond recognition, as if they had been hit head-on and killed.

The cruelty of it was so shocking that even Na He, who was used to seeing life and death, felt terrified.

Judging from the tragic condition of the corpses, one man must have rushed in, killed Moga and Feilu, and then killed many elite Xianbei soldiers, most of them with one strike.

Who is so powerful!

Na He knew that the only person with such power was the legendary Xianbei warrior Afu Yu, who was regarded as a god-like existence!

Among the Han people, there are strong people of Afu Yu's level... Nahe's pupils contracted.

He turned his head and looked outside Motuo City.

Where did the Han army go after they raided here?
