Dahan: A 100-year-old veteran, I will build the strongest family

Chapter 50: Slaughter of Aliens, End

The night grew darker and soon it was already early morning.

At this time, there was no longer any bonfire in the entire Xianbei royal court, nor was there the sound of singing and dancing.

Even the Xianbei soldiers on the watchtowers set up outside the Xianbei royal court got up and took a nap.

The Xianbei Royal Court is a shining pearl on the grassland and the core of the Xianbei tribe. Its status is so important that ordinary people would not come here to make trouble. Therefore, the soldiers around the Xianbei Royal Court are wary of people with different personalities.

Li Hong waved to the generals.

Immediately, Huangfu Song, Xia Yu, Tian Yan, Zang Min, Li Li, Dian Wei, Xu Huang, Ji Ling, Yan Liang, Pan Feng, Zhang Fei, Yue Lu, Zhang He, Gao Lan and other generals surrounded them.

Seeing this, Li Hong gave the combat order without hesitation.

"In this battle, our goal is to burn down as many Xianbei royal courts as possible, and capture the Xianbei high-ranking officials in the core area of ​​the Xianbei royal court. Therefore, we will proceed in two steps."

"Huangfu Song and Xia Yu, you two will lead 5,000 cavalrymen to circle around the outer perimeter of the Xianbei royal court and set it on fire. I want to set the Xianbei royal court on fire. Also, disturb the livestock area of ​​the Xianbei royal court and drive the cattle, sheep and horses into the Xianbei royal court to cause even greater chaos!"

When Li Hong's words reached the ears of Huangfu Song and Xia Yu, their faces became serious and they bowed solemnly to Li Hong in response.

"Tian Yan and Zang Min, you two will lead Zhang Fei, Yue Lu, Zhang He, Gao Lan and other generals to lead 15,000 cavalry to attack everywhere. We must not let the large number of Xianbei cavalry gather together."

"Yes!" Tian Yan, Zang Min, Zhang Fei and other generals responded loudly.

Li Hong looked at Li Li, Dian Wei, Xu Huang, Ji Ling, Yan Liang and said in a deep voice:
"You will follow me and lead 10,000 cavalrymen to the core area of ​​the Xianbei royal court and capture as many Xianbei leaders alive as possible!"

"promise!"

Xu Huang, Ji Ling, Yan Liang and other generals were so excited that they couldn't help dancing with joy. They were really filled with excitement and relief.

Yes, at this moment, several generals were grateful in their hearts, grateful that they had joined the Li family and became generals of the Li family!
Li Hong obviously takes care of his own people.

How could the task of charging into the Xianbei core area and capturing the Xianbei leaders be compared to the task of killing the gathered Xianbei cavalry?

This is the Xianbei royal court.

There must be many generals of the Xianbei tribe and various Xianbei nobles among them.

As long as they can capture some Xianbei high-ranking officials in this battle, it will be a military achievement.

Zhang Fei, Yue Lu, Zhang He and others looked at Xu Huang, Ji Ling and Yan Liang with some envy, but there was nothing they could do.

Who made them think that the Li family was not their stage when they were recruited by the Li family?

Now, I can only watch with envy.

After all, Li Hongcai is the supreme commander.

After Li Hong made some arrangements, the generals immediately returned to their respective armies.

Li Hong took a deep breath, looked at the silent Xianbei royal court, and waved his hand.

Immediately, the elite soldiers who had been prepared rushed out and headed for the watchtower outside the Xianbei royal court.

Torches on the watchtower soon lit up.

Li Hong did not hesitate, leading his warhorse and holding his bloody halberd, he slowly walked towards the Xianbei royal court.

The rest of the soldiers also suppressed their excitement and led their horses towards the Xianbei royal court.

When he was three miles away from the Xianbei royal court, Li Hong no longer hesitated and jumped on his horse.

All the soldiers also mounted their horses in unison.

"Kill!" Li Hong raised the bloody halberd in his hand and rushed out quickly on the warhorse.

Rumble~
Thirty thousand Han troops immediately followed Li Hong to attack the Xianbei royal court.

After the cavalry started, their speed quickly increased.

Li Hong rode in the lead, looking at the approaching Xianbei royal court. He jumped on his horse, knocked off the barricades, and swung his bloody halberd. Two sleepy and surprised Xianbei soldiers were directly swept away. Li Hong's face flushed, and he shouted loudly: "Don't worry about anything else, follow me and kill directly in the core area of ​​the Xianbei royal court!"

"promise!"

"promise!"

Li Li, Xu Huang, Ji Ling and other generals responded one after another, waving their weapons, rushing to open the gate of the Xianbei royal court and the awakened Xianbei soldiers, and then charging into the Xianbei royal court in a mighty force.

The earth was shaking, and the entire Xianbei royal court was soon alarmed, and many people suddenly opened their eyes.

However, as soon as many Xianbei people stepped out of their tents, they were met with the butcher knives of the Han army led by Zhang Fei, Yue Lu, Zhang He and others.

Huangfu Song and Xia Yu led 5,000 cavalrymen and, regardless of anything, circled around the outer perimeter of the Xianbei royal court and began to set fire crazily.

The shouts and cries of killing echoed throughout the Xianbei royal court.

The core area of ​​the Xianbei royal court, the Chanyu royal tent, is luxurious and huge, with a golden roof. Inside, there are jewelry and ivory ornaments, jade, gold and silver decorations.

An old man with half-white hair on the bed suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes exuding a sharp, suspicious look. He pushed away the two beautiful women beside him and exclaimed, "The sound of horse hooves, this is the sound of a large-scale cavalry charge, what's going on?"

Tan Shihuai's surprised voice woke up the sleeping wife of the Chanyu.

Yes, this old man was none other than the Chanyu of the Xianbei tribe, Tan Shihuai.

He was also another powerful ruler of the grassland after Maodun, the Khan of the Xiongnu.

He established a royal court in Danhan Mountain, plundered the Han Dynasty to the south, resisted the Dingling to the north, repelled Buyeo to the east, attacked Wusun to the west, completely occupied the Xiongnu's homeland, and at one point invaded Wa. He intimidated all ethnic groups and established a vast grassland empire, becoming a powerful hero spanning the south and north of the desert.

"Chanyu, did this scare the horses in the pasture?"

The charming and attractive Shanyu's wife said in surprise.

After hearing the explanation from the Chanyu's wife, the sharp look of doubt in Tan Shihuai's eyes dissipated a little. Of course, there were many cattle, sheep, and horses in the royal court, and they were all stored in one place. It was not unheard of for large numbers of cattle, sheep, and horses to be frightened.

However, soon, Tan Shihuai's expression changed as he heard shouts and screams.

"No, this is the sound of killing. Damn it, who dares to invade my Xianbei royal court!"

Although Tan Shihuai was in his fifties or sixties, as the Chanyu, his power was still undiminished. Without caring about anything else, Tan Shihuai put on his clothes and rushed into the royal tent.

"Kill!"

Rumble~
A sharp shout and the sound of galloping horses came straight towards them.

Tan Shihuai saw it clearly. A huge cavalry, like an arrow shot from a bow, was heading straight for the core area of ​​the royal court.

"Chanyu, foreigners are invading, are you okay, Chanyu?"

A group of Xianbei generals immediately surrounded Tan Shihuai when they saw him.

Tan Shihuai is their belief.

"Gather my Xianbei men immediately and kill all these invading foreigners!" Tan Shihuai said angrily as he looked at the galloping and attacking army in the distance.

Someone immediately conveyed Tan Shihuai's order.

It's a pity that it's too late.

The Xianbei royal court looked very large.

However, with Li Hong personally leading the way, the 10,000 cavalrymen were unstoppable and broke through all the Xianbei people who blocked their way and crushed them all.

Because the Xianbei people had no time to react in a short period of time and could not launch any effective counterattack, Li Hong led 10,000 cavalrymen to launch a surprise attack directly to the core area of ​​the Xianbei royal court.

"Everyone, disperse and surround this area. Catch those you can catch, and kill those you can't. Don't let anyone escape!"

Li Hong was full of power, his gray hair moving even without wind.

"promise!"

Ji Ling, Yan Liang, and Xu Huang all agreed, and each led their cavalry to fight the Xianbei people who came out to block them. They drew a circle around the core area of ​​the Xianbei royal court, and finally surrounded the core area of ​​the Xianbei royal court amid the Xianbei people's shock and anger.

"Haha, okay, half of you will stay behind to guard and block the Xianbei people's attack, and the rest will follow me to capture people!" Li Hong was so happy that he couldn't help stroking his beard when he saw that the Han army quickly completed the encirclement.

The core area of ​​the Xianbei royal court is where the most important figures of the Xianbei tribe live.

For Li Hong, being able to win the battle made him happier than winning a great victory.

Of course, the reason why it was so smooth was that the Han army came so quickly and the surprise attack caught the foreign race off guard, and the Xianbei people had no time to react at all.

Even if they had weapons, they would not be able to stop their charge without war horses.

Li Hong looked back and saw that the entire Xianbei royal court was in chaos.

The raging fire had spread from the periphery to the depths of the Xianbei royal court.

Because most of the foreigners used wooden structures such as tents, felt houses, and thatched houses, the flames burned very fiercely.

Huangfu Song and his men were still setting fires crazily, and they even sent people to set fire to the livestock area on the side of the Xianbei royal court.

At this time, the sounds of horses, sheep, and cows could be heard throughout the sky, and they had begun to be driven towards the Xianbei royal court on a large scale.

Zhang Fei, Zhang He and other generals also divided themselves into several groups, each with thousands of cavalrymen, to charge and trample on the Xianbei people, destroying the groups of Xianbei people who were trying to gather.

It was a chaotic scene, with cries of killing, despair and screams ringing in the Xianbei royal court.

"Quick! Act before the sea of ​​fire arrives!"

The chaos in the Xianbei royal court made Li Hong's eyelids twitch. With such a mess, coupled with the fire coming from outside, one can imagine how many people in the Xianbei royal court with hundreds of thousands of people would survive.

Just as Li Hong led his men towards the core area.

Xianbei Chanyu Tan Shihuai, Xianbei Crown Prince He Lian and all the Xianbei generals and leaders in the royal court gathered together, looking at the Han army killing and looting in the distance, they were extremely angry and said:
"They are Han troops, damn Han people, they actually attacked my Xianbei royal court!"

The Xianbei Prince Helian said with some disbelief.

In He Lian's impression, the Han people have always been weak and allowed to be bullied by them.

Although Tan Shihuai said that the Han people were also very powerful hundreds of years ago.

Now seeing that the people who broke into the royal court were actually Han people, the Xianbei Prince Helian's eyes immediately turned red.

The Xianbei Chanyu Tan Shihuai and a number of Xianbei generals and leaders also looked livid. They did not understand why the Han army suddenly appeared in the royal court.

Isn’t the western leader Budugen leading a coalition force of 100,000 to plunder Yanmen?
Tan Shihuai and a group of Xianbei high-ranking officials did not know that because the Han army was equipped with iron hooves, they were able to attack the Xianbei royal court very quickly, and the remaining soldiers of Budugen who were defeated had no time to send news to the Xianbei royal court.

However, Tan Shihuai and a group of Xianbei high-ranking officials looked at the chaotic and fiery royal court and the raging Han army.

They understood that the most urgent task was to wipe out the Han army and put out the fire.

"All of you go and gather my Xianbei men to resist the Han army and put out the fire!" Tan Shihuai shouted again.

"Yes!" Immediately all the Xianbei high-ranking officials dispersed and went to gather people personally.

However, soon these Xianbei high-ranking officials retreated in panic.

"Chanyu, we can't get out. The Han army is arresting people everywhere. The surrounding area has been blocked by the Han army. The Han army will find this place soon. Let's protect Chanyu and fight our way out."

A Xianbei commander hurriedly said to Tan Shihuai.

"The Han army is so cruel!" When Tan Shihuai heard that the Han army had blocked the surroundings and were arresting people, he immediately understood the Han people's intentions and was filled with hatred.

However, Tan Shihuai is indeed a hero.

Noticing the shouts and cries of the Han army around him, he couldn't help but glance at the king's tent in the distance with regret. There were several of his sons and many beauties, who were sent from various tribes on the grassland and the Western Regions.

"Let's go! Fight their way out! We'll settle this account with the Han people slowly." Tan Shihuai gritted his teeth and held his son and Lian with one hand while speaking to the hundreds of generals who had gathered around.

Tan Shihuai immediately abandoned his family and prepared to escape.
The cold-hearted nature of the tyrant made Tan Shihuai realize that if he didn't go out, the situation would become even worse.

Only when he left would the Han people dare not go too far.

"I am Xu Huang, the military commander of the Han army. Put down your weapons and I will spare your lives!"

Tan Shihuai and other Xianbei high-ranking officials, led by hundreds of generals, killed dozens of Han soldiers. When they were about to escape, Xu Huang led hundreds of Han cavalry to block them.

Xu Huang looked suspiciously at the white-haired old man who was surrounded by hundreds of burly people, and shouted loudly.

"kill!"

A group of Xianbei generals holding scimitars immediately fought with Xu Huang and others.

As soon as the battle started, Xu Huang's expression changed. These Xianbei men were all extremely brave, but they were killed and forced to retreat step by step.

"The one who is protected by so many elite soldiers, he is Tan Shihuai!" Xu Huang looked at the old man with a sullen face, his eyes widened immediately, and he realized that this man should be the Xianbei Chanyu.

"Quick, call for reinforcements and tell them that we have found Tan Shihuai!" Xu Huang shouted loudly while fighting with a big axe in his hand.

"promise!"

When the surrounding Han soldiers heard that they had surrounded Tan Shihuai, they were also very excited.

Immediately, the Han army went to call for reinforcements.

"Tan Shihuai, where are you running to? I am Li Hong, do you still recognize me?"

Suddenly, a loud shout rang out, and Li Hong, covered in blood, holding a bloody halberd, came at high speed, with dozens of cavalrymen behind him.

After entering the core area of ​​the Xianbei royal court, Li Hong had been looking for Tan Shihuai, but the core area of ​​the Xianbei royal court was not small and he did not find him for a while.

Upon hearing what was happening here, Li Hong immediately understood that Tan Shihuai was trying to escape.

From a distance, Li Hong saw the gray-haired Tan Shihuai and was immediately delighted. He shouted without hesitation.

"Li Hong? Is it him? The old general from Yanmen!" When Tan Shihuai heard the shout, his heart skipped a beat and information about Li Hong emerged in his mind. He had had a lot of dealings with Li Hong when he was young.

Most of the time he suppressed Li Hong and made him retreat and dare not come out.

They are also old rivals.

"This veteran is still so strong?!" Tan Shihuai recognized Li Hong immediately when he saw him riding a horse. However, he was shocked when he saw Li Hong's mighty power.

"Get out of the way!" Li Hong galloped over on his horse and killed directly into the group of hundreds of Xianbei generals. His internal energy surged wildly, his strong energy emerged, and his bloody halberd swung. Immediately, the Xianbei generals, who seemed quite powerful in the eyes of the Han army, vomited blood and flew away like tofu.

"A peerless military commander, how is this possible!" The Xianbei Chanyu Tan Shihuai and a group of Xianbei high-ranking officials were stunned when they saw Li Hong bursting out with all his strength like a god of war.

Li Hong marched to the front of the Xianbei Chanyu Tan Shihuai with overwhelming force, and looked down at this tyrant who had stirred up the grassland for decades.

That night, the Han army first ravaged the Xianbei royal court, then cattle, sheep, and horses attacked and trampled it, and soon the entire Xianbei royal court was engulfed in flames, turning it into a sea of ​​fire.

Countless Xianbei people died in it!

When it was bright, the Han cavalry surrounding the Xianbei king's court finally stopped shooting at the Xianbei people who were escaping from the sea of ​​fire.

The Xianbei royal court, the shining pearl on the grassland, was burned down, killing countless Xianbei people.

The Han cavalry plundered and killed everywhere.

In addition to the hundreds of thousands of escaped slaves of various ethnic groups living in the periphery, there were also thousands of Xianbei high-ranking officials and their families captured by Li Hong in the core area.

There was no Xianbei left standing.

"Damn it, Han people, damn it, Han people, I, Tan Shihuai, will never coexist with you!"

Tan Shihuai and a group of Xianbei high-ranking officials knelt on the ground, looking at the burned royal court and the corpses of Xianbei people all over the ground, tears and blood flowing from their eyes, and roared with gritted teeth.

The Han army generals such as Zhang Fei, Yan Liang, Ji Ling, Dian Wei, etc., who looked rather embarrassed and exhausted, all showed happy and relieved expressions.

Even though they caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands of foreigners in the Xianbei royal court that night, they did not regret it, not at all. The reason was that these Xianbei people were soldiers as long as they mounted a horse, and at night any man, woman, old or young would suddenly attack and kill them.

Thinking of these damned foreigners who have been burning, killing, looting, killing Han people and robbing Han women in the border counties of the Han Dynasty for decades, they only feel happy. They deserve to be killed!
