"Crack!"

The horsewhip hit a tribal leader hard on the shoulder, tearing the leader's sheepskin jacket to pieces.

The tip of the whip passed over his cheek with the sound of howling wind, and a red mark soon appeared on his cheek.

"Why don't you just rush over?!"

When chasing the defeated troops of the Mo Lu Hui tribe, instead of breaking through the enemy's rear as planned, they lost more than 200 cavalry and were driven back.

This made Tuoba Liwei, who had already been unable to hold back his anger, become furious. Without thinking, he took out his horsewhip and whipped it on the leader who came to return his life.

"Da Kehan, spare your life!"

The leader buried his head in the snow, not knowing whether he was afraid or feeling cold, "Dou Bin is very cunning. He has an ambush behind the defeated soldiers."

"We followed Kehan's orders to chase the defeated soldiers, but we didn't expect that we would be ambushed by them."

Unexpectedly, when Tuoba Liwei heard this, he became even more angry. He raised his whip and whipped the leader hard again:

"You mean to say that my military orders are wrong?"

"No, I don't dare, I don't dare..."

Hearing Tuoba Liwei's words, the leader's body shook even more.

Fortunately, Tuoba Dakehan didn't seem to pursue the crime of his gaffe, but asked:

"How many soldiers are in ambush?"

The capital city originally wanted to say Wanqi.

But this time, in addition to him, there were several people who came to recover this time and were lying behind him.

So he could only answer honestly:

"Even if there are not ten thousand cavalry, there are still six or seven thousand cavalry."

Six or seven thousand?

Recalling what Ku Xian reported, the reinforcements Dou Bin invited included five thousand Han troops.

Not bad at all.

After all, Tuoba Liwei can be regarded as someone who has led troops and fought in wars his whole life.

Naturally, we know how difficult it is to count the number of people on the opposite side in front of the formation - it is extremely difficult to estimate how many people are on the opposite side without being deceived by the enemy.

The art of war is a secret secret among military strategists.

"Go away, go away, reorganize your troops and horses, and listen to my orders at any time."

"If there is a next time, let's see if I don't beat you to death!"

Tuoba Liwei's riding crop whipped at the leaders lying on the ground indiscriminately.

Several people with more or less whip marks on their bodies retreated in embarrassment.

"Kehan, their defeat this time was not a crime of war, why should they be so angry?"

After everyone retreated, the black-clothed deacon said, "Although Dou Bin is old and no longer ambitious, he has been leading troops on expeditions all year round and has rich experience."

"In addition, there are Han troops to help, but Han wants to fight against them. How difficult it is."

After the defeated leaders, big and small, retreated, the angry look on Tuoba Liwei's face also dissipated:

"I am not as good as the deacon in planning strategies, but in driving the troops in front of the battle, the deacon is not as good as me!"

"These outsiders are not completely loyal to our Tuoba tribe. Otherwise, they would not have lost more than two hundred horses and would have taken the opportunity to retreat."

"If I don't punish them and make them fearful, I'm afraid they will lie about the military situation and exaggerate the enemy's situation in an attempt to escape responsibility."

"Not to mention that I will do my best in the subsequent battles."

The black-clothed deacon heard this and nodded slowly:

"Since Ke Han knows what's going on, I'm relieved."

Tuoba Li pointed his riding whip forward and sneered:

"The Wuluhui tribe has been defeated, and as I expected, the Han army formed a formation behind them. Firstly, it was to urge the Wuluhui tribe to advance, and secondly, it was to take advantage of the conflict between the two tribes and benefit from it.

"

"They have a good idea, but they don't know how to stop the surprise troops I sent out."

The deacon reminded:

"Kehan, Dou Bin may not be aware of Kehan's arrangements."

Tuoba Li smiled slightly: "Of course he knows, but doesn't he know that the weather is not as good as the right place, and the right place is not as good as the people."

Dou Bin recruited reinforcements from outside and betrayed him at such a time, which can barely be considered as taking advantage of the opportunity.

But he came in a hurry, appeared on the Tuoba tribe's territory, and gave himself a lot of time to gather all the tribes, but he allowed himself to take advantage of the favorable location and people.

Even if he knew that he would send surprise troops, how would he know from which direction they were coming?

Do we need to be on guard at all times?

Being on guard at every turn will lead to being unprepared at every turn.

The Luhui tribe would not be as good as the Tuoba tribe without the Luhui tribe - even if half of the warriors go to Southern Xia, it cannot be easily shaken without the Luhui tribe.

What Tuoba Liwei was worried about was the five thousand Han troops.

Now that the location of the Han army has been explored, the last big stone in my heart can already fall to the ground.

After listening to Tuoba Liwei's analysis, the black-clothed deacon couldn't help but agree.

Tuoba Kehan ​​was able to lead a small tribe to become the largest tribe in the grasslands. In addition to the help of his own tribe, his own talents were also considered outstanding.

"Then what's Kehan's next plan?"

"Dou Bin's defeat is no longer a cause for concern."

Tuoba Li sneered slightly, showing disdain and ridicule.

The Han people have always looked down upon the Hu people.

Dou Bin actually dared to collude with the Han people. How is this different from opening the door to a thief?

On weekdays, after claiming to be Fufeng Dou's family, he only clings to a famous family, promotes his identity, and deceives the ignorant people on the grassland.

Do you really think that the Han people will recognize you and look up to you?

How is it now?

Aren't they still driven like dogs by the Han army, working hard in front of the battle line?

Tuoba Liwei believed that if the Luhui tribe had not been forced forward, even if it was about to be defeated, it would never be as defeated as it is now.

"What we have to do now is to attract the attention of the Han army and wait for the opportunity."

As long as the sent surprise troops appear somewhere behind the battlefield, that is the best time.

"Someone is coming!"

"Ke Han?"

Tuoba Liwei did not hesitate at all and once again selected five peripheral tribes and asked them to continue to attack the Han army.

Compared with the Han army, the tribes outside the Tuoba tribe may have insufficient armor and crude weapons, but they are better in numbers.

Tuoba Liwei didn't expect them to really break through the Han army's formation - of course it would be best if they could - he just wanted them to tire out the Han army, and that would be considered as achieving his goal.

When the time comes, all they have to do is wait for the surprise troops to appear on their flanks, and then attack them from the front with elite troops. Why worry about winning?

There are sixty-eight tribes of Tuoba tribe alone with different surnames, that is, peripheral tribes.

Tuoba Liwei didn't believe that a mere five thousand Han soldiers could withstand the attacks of so many of them.

Of course, in addition to bringing down the Han army, Tuoba Liwei also had other ideas.

In addition to the eight major tribes with the same surname in Tuoba Xianbei, the remaining 68 tribes with different surnames can only be described as loose alliances.

The leaders of these tribes with different surnames still have great autonomy over their own tribes.

Therefore, there is still a long way to go before we can integrate these tribes with different surnames into the real Tuoba tribe.

In daily life, in addition to luring them for profit, we also need to capture them for fear.

At the same time, we must also pay attention to secretly limiting the strength of these tribes so that they cannot threaten Suo Tou's status.

At this time, it was a good opportunity to adjust their strength.

Just when Tuoba Li was fine-tuning his troops and sending generals to fight the Han army.

Several tribal leaders with whip marks on their faces were passing a certain camp dejectedly.

"Choo! Boom! Boom..."

There was a sound that made people feel sour.

Several people subconsciously followed the sound and saw that the door of King Karasuma's tent was wide open, and King Karasuma was sharpening his sword expressionlessly inside.
