With Xue Rengui and Zhang Liao attacking from the front and back, the Xianbei cavalry was completely defeated.
One Xianbei cavalryman after another was cut off their horses and fell into a pool of blood.
The surviving Xianbei cavalrymen had lost all will to fight. They only wanted to escape this purgatory as soon as possible.
In less than two hours, the battle ended.
Neither the Black Armor Army nor the Yanmen Army had the ability to chase after the Xianbei cavalry.
Thus, Liu Ye didn't give the order to pursue them, instead allowing the defeated Xianbei soldiers to flee.
It would be best if they could escape back to Tan Shihuai and bring their defeat to the entire Xianbei cavalry.
"Reporting to your highness, our army has won a great victory. The Xianbei army of twenty thousand, with the exception of a few who fled, has been wiped out according to your highness 'orders.”
"Our Yanmen garrison suffered around 600 casualties. The Mysterious Armored Army suffered no casualties, only a few of our brothers were lightly injured.”
Zhang Liao cupped his fists and reported to Liu Ye. His eyes were filled with respect.
It seemed that this King Zhao had not made any contributions in this battle.
However, it was Liu Ye who was able to cause such a huge defeat to the other party.
Liu Ye nodded his head in satisfaction. To be able to annihilate the enemy's 20,000 cavalry with such a small number of casualties was indeed a great victory.
Not long after, Zhangsun Wuji also brought good news to Liu Ye.
It turned out that just as the Xianbei army was preparing to attack Yanmen Pass, Zhangsun Wuji had also led the Yanmen guards to visit the aristocratic families that had colluded with the Xianbei.
Liu Ye had long had the intention of touching those fat pigs.
Since they had given Liu Ye a chance to make a move, Liu Ye would naturally grant them their wish.
After destroying the Wang Clan and the other large clans, he had once again provided Liu Ye with hundreds of thousands of dans of grain and millions of gold, making Liu Ye a nouveau riche in an instant.
"Although we have wiped out 20,000 Xianbei cavalry this time, Tan Shihuai still has 80,000 soldiers. They are still our enemies. Do you have any good ideas to break through?”
Although it was gratifying to destroy the 20,000 vanguard troops, Liu Ye understood that this was only the beginning.
The 80,000 troops behind him were his biggest problem.
Even though they had the Black Armored Army, they were at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers.
Zhangsun Wuji pondered for a moment before saying in a deep voice,"I have a way to deal with the Xianbei people, but this plan is too vicious. I'm afraid it will damage your reputation, so I don't dare to make a decision on my own.”
"To be kind to the enemy is to be cruel to yourself, let alone to these Xianbei people who do all kinds of evil.”
"As long as I can get rid of them, I won't hesitate to use any more vicious tactics.”
"However, this king would like to know what method you have to deal with him.”
Liu Ye, who had transmigrated from the future, naturally understood the chaos that occurred after the Jin Dynasty.
These Xianbei and other races invaded the territory of the Han Dynasty and treated the Han people like two-legged sheep. This was the most tragic era for the Han people.
Compared to the actions of those foreign races, whatever Liu Ye did to them was not excessive.
Hearing Liu Ye's words, Zhangsun Wuji did not continue to keep him in suspense. He nodded and said,"General Xue Rengui killed Tan Shihuai's younger brother Tan Shidan with an arrow. If we can hang his corpse outside Yanmen City, we can provoke Tan Shihuai.”
"Let's use He Jin's spy to open the gate of Yanmen and let the other party in. We can use the narrow terrain of Yanmen to close the gate and beat the dog.”
"Since you want to anger Tan Shihuai and even the Xianbei cavalry, why don't you go even further?"”
"Pass on my order. Cut off the heads of the twenty thousand Xianbei cavalrymen that were killed and build a temple in Yanmen. It will also show the world the glory of our Yanmen army.”
"Also, send someone to inform the Xianbei Tribe and the other tribes that anyone who dares to offend us will be killed no matter how far away they are.”
Zhangsun Wuji nodded repeatedly and boasted,""What a good person to offend our Great Han. Even if it's far away, he must be killed. Your Highness has great ambitions and will definitely be able to defeat the Xianbei army and raise the prestige of our Great Han.”
"Alright, stop flattering me. Hurry up and go prepare.”
Ignoring him, Zhangsun Wuji and Liu Ye turned to Zhang Liao and asked,"
"Oh right, General Wen Yuan, I've already ordered that Yanmen Prefecture has fourteen counties under its jurisdiction.”
"Also, send someone to Jinyang to ask for help.”
"It's been so long.”
Although he had Zhangsun Wuji's plan, Liu Ye still lacked troops. If he could send more troops at this time, it would increase Liu Ye's chances of winning.
Hearing this, Liu Ye cupped his hands and said," There is news from Bing Province. The governor of Bing Province, Ding Yuan, has heard that the Xianbei army has invaded the territory and has ordered the Bing Province army to be ready.”
"However, because the Bing Province army has just been mobilized, it will take time to mobilize the army at this time.”
"Provincial Governor Ding wants us to hold off the Xianbei army for ten days.”
Resist the Xianbei army for ten days?
" What is Ding Yuan planning?" Liu Ye sneered." Does he think I don't know?"”
"Ding Yuan thought that the Xianbei army would be able to break through Yanmen and kill me in ten days. He probably came to collect my corpse.”
"Let's not bother about the Bing Province matter. This king didn't expect him to support this king in the first place. As long as he doesn't cause trouble for this king, it's enough.”
"How many soldiers from the counties of Yanmen have come?”
Zhang Liao was stunned when he heard this, but he still cupped his hands and said,"Other than Mayi County Lieutenant Gao Shun and Guangwu County Lieutenant Chu Xiong who led 800 county soldiers to help, the other counties found various reasons to refuse to send troops.”
"Gao Shun?"
"Wen Yuan, what did you just say? Mayi County Lieutenant Gao Shun?”
Liu Ye turned pale with fright as he looked at Zhang Liao. Could this Gao Shun be the Gao Shun who had trained the Breaking Ranks Battalion?
