Five hundred and seventieth chapters disappear
Unfortunately, Yuan Shang's stable life in Youzhou was not long. In September of the seventh year of Tianyou, it was the time when the horses were fat. Zhou Yu sent Zhao Yun to lead more than 20,000 cavalry and 10,000 elite infantry in the Qingzhou camp. He was helped by the guide sent by the Wuhuan Qiao King of Liucheng and entered Youzhou.
Youzhou has a vast territory and sparse population, with eleven states and ninety counties. Due to the rise of Gongsun Du's power, it divided the counties such as Liaodong and Youbeiping. In fact, under the rule of Yuan Xi, it was still under the rule of Yuan Xi, but Liaoxi, Yuyang, Guangyang, Dai County, Shanggu, Zhuo County and other places, and was constantly harassed by the Hu tribe from the north. The people of Youzhou were in poverty. Many people moved east to Gongsun Du's territory. Half of the troops guarding Youzhou were destroyed in the Guandu battlefield. Therefore, Yuan Xi's available soldiers were no more than 30,000, and even fewer elite soldiers. Most of them were county and state soldiers who could barely defend the city. They had to face the Jiangdong Army with sufficient soldiers and food, which was really unbearable to fight.
Originally, the counselors around Zhou Yu still had differences on whether to advance to Youzhou quickly. The reason for those who advocated the suspension of the army was that Jizhou was first pacified and stabilized the situation in Jizhou first, and then Xutu Youzhou, Wuhuan, and Xianbei tribes. Jia Xu and several others insisted on advancing to Youzhou quickly, because the Yuan family had a great influence in Wuhuan and Xianbei tribes. Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi were very likely to get help from Wuhuan and Xianbei tribes and constantly harass Jizhou. Under such circumstances, Jizhou and even Qingzhou were still difficult to stabilize. Only by quickly sweeping away the remaining forces of the Yuan family, Hebei could be called stable.
Zhou Yu adopted Jia Xu's opinion and ordered Gao Shun to send elite cavalry from the Hurricane Battalion to quickly go north to Youzhou. With Zhao Yun's ability to command troops and the excellent equipment that Hurricane Battalion far surpassed the Hu tribe, Zhou Yu was very confident that he would win.
After obtaining Jizhou, the Jiangdong Army seized a large number of horses, so this time Zhao Yun sent troops, both cavalry and infantry could ride horses and rush on horseback. The infantry of the Jiangdong Army also practiced riding horses and marching on weekdays, so he did not delay the journey.
Zhao Yun's army marched day and night, and quickly captured Wuji City. Youzhou was shocked. Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang hurriedly sent envoys to find the leaders of various Wuhuan tribes, and used heavy metal to lure them. The Wuhuan tribes headed by Tadun sent troops one after another. Even the Wuhuan King, who was originally standing on the side of the Jiangdong Army, suddenly repented. After gaining the benefits of Yuan Xi, he also sent cavalry to try to attack Zhao Yun together. At the same time, Yuan Xi gathered all the troops he could control and prepared to encircle Wuji with the Wuhuan tribes.
The enemy's actions had long been spreading back the information in time. Faced with many situations of being attacked by the enemy, Zhao Yun made a quick decision and left Guanhai's Qingzhou Camp to guard Wuji City. He led the soldiers of Hurricane Camp to detour Xu Wushan, climbed the rugged path, and left Lulong Village. He traveled more than 500 miles, and went to Baitan, Pinggang, Xianbei Pavilion. He pointed to Liucheng eastward!
Two hundred miles away from Liucheng, the Wuhuan army found out and hurriedly sent a fast horse to inform all the troops. Tadun, Yuan Shang, and Yuan Xi hurriedly arrived with the Liaoxi Shanyu Louban and the Youbeiping Shanyu Aichen, and gathered the Wuhuan cavalry to fight. The two armies met at the foot of Bailang Mountain.
Bailang Mountain is one of the fortresses in Youzhou. On the watershed west of the main peak of the mountain, there is a huge white stone zodiac. It looks like a sheep from a distance, also like a white wolf and a white deer, so it is named.
Bailang Mountain is abrupt. The White Wolf Water flows obliquely, and there are plains around it, which is very suitable for cavalry to kill. Zhao Yun climbed to the top of Bailang Mountain and looked around. The black Wuhuan cavalry rushed from all directions like a tide. There are indeed a lot of numbers, but the equipment is really too poor. Only a few cavalry were wearing armor and had complete weapons. Many cavalry only wore animal fur robes, held rough wooden forks, and did not even have a bow and arrow!
A few sneers appeared on the corner of Zhao Yun's mouth, and pointed to the messy enemy formation at the foot of the mountain, and whispered to the left and right: "Although the enemy is large in number and poor in equipment, there is no structure in marching and formation. Today's great victory will definitely belong to us!"
After saying that, Zhao Yun ordered Xue Lan as the vanguard to lead three thousand elite cavalry, dive from the mountain, and he led the central army to follow closely, with the target of the strongest Tadun among the Wuhuan tribes!
As expected by Zhao Yun, under the powerful impact of Xue Lan's elite cavalry, the formation of the Wuhuan soldiers was suddenly in chaos! The whistling down of the Hurricane Camp elite cavalry shot out countless hand axes and guns, and with the help of rapid speed, they ruthlessly took the lives of thousands of Wuhuan people!
In a panic, Zhao Yun personally led more than 10,000 hurricane cavalry to enter like a storm! The sharp cavalry spear opened the chest of the Wuhuan knight in front, and blood shot in the sky. The sharp sabre swept across the sky like a whirlwind. The head of the Wuhuan knight rolled into dust in an instant!
Zhao Yun was still wearing a white military uniform, bright silver helmet, bright silver armor, white battle robe, a horn gun, and a white dragon horse under his crotch, like a white whirlwind! After rushing, his battle robe was covered with blood. Of course, they were all from the enemy.
After rushing through the enemy formation, Zhao Yun urged the white dragon horse under his crotch and accelerated toward the yellow flag where Tadun was! Behind him were hundreds of elite hurricane camps. Amid the rumbling horses, Tadun's face changed slightly, and then he cheered up and shouted his followers to come forward to block the situation.
The cavalry's charge is completed, and no one can stop it unless the walls are in front of him.
"Swoosh swish swish", a dense feather arrow shot out, which turned out to be the knights of the Jiangdong Army, who had always regarded as bad as horse fighting in the Wuhuan people, shot out accurate feather arrows on the rushing horse.
Under the sudden blow, hundreds of Tadun followed him and screamed and rushed forward to block the situation. Zhao Yun had already reached Tadun alone!
Tadun's force was very powerful in the Wuhuan tribes, but in front of Zhao Yun, he could not walk twenty rounds and was shot by Zhao Yun!
Two hours later, the foot of Bailang Mountain had returned to peace. Only the blood flowing in the White Wolf Water told the world how tragic the war just now was. In this battle, Zhao Yun defeated the coalition forces of various Wuhuan divisions with 20,000 Hurricane Camp elite cavalry. Three people died and Tadun. The leader of the Wuhuan tribe and the leader of the Wuhuan tribe and Tadun were killed. More than 30 small kings at all levels were killed and injured, and more than 30,000 Wuhuan soldiers were killed in battle!
Zhao Yun took advantage of the victory to capture Liucheng, an important Wuhuan town. After the war, Zhao Yun captured more than 200,000 surrendered to the Wuhuan tribes. At this point, the Wuhuan people had completely surrendered to the power of the Han army. The Wuhuan people in the five counties of Shanggu, Yuyang, Youbeiping, Liaoxi, and Liaodong would tremble as long as they heard the name of Zhao Zilong.
Without the support of the Wuhuan people, Youzhou was no longer in defense. Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang quickly brought their families and gold and silver and soft, and led their confidants to the prefect of Liaodong. Zhou Yu adopted Jia Xu's plan and did not order Zhao Yun to continue pursuing. The army stabilized the situation in Youzhou, and at the same time claimed to be waiting for Gongsun Kang to send Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang's head.
Sure enough, not long after, Gongsun Kang set up an ambush, killed Yuan Shang, Yuan Xi and the Liaodong Shanyu Supu Wan, and gave the head to Zhao Yun, expressing his intention to surrender. The senior officials of Bingzhou finally made up their minds to surrender to Zhou Yu, and Ji Qingyou and the four states were finally re-incorporated into the imperial palace.
The Yuan family, which had a reputation throughout the country, finally disappeared from Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, to Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, and Yuan Shang.
