Chapter 680 Changing Target

The cavalry squads divided into Pingzhou cavalry battalion chased and strangled small groups of Xianbei cavalry.

Tuoba Yu's horse was the first to be injured. At this moment, he had replaced his horse with an uninjured one. The other Xianbei cavalry who had not dispersed gathered around him to protect him.

The number of these Xianbei cavalry is about ten thousand.

As the saying goes, to capture the thief first capture the king.

Qin Sheng led eight thousand cavalry and faced Tuoba Yu.

The two sides came to a river beach and started fighting.

……

bandit!

Yama!

Brave and not afraid of death!

This is the impression of the Xianbei cavalry who encountered an ambush on the Pingzhou cavalry who pursued them.

There are cavalry in Pingzhou! this is nothing. But after Pingzhou's cavalry was divided into small groups, they actually had the momentum to suppress them. It was outrageous!

Lu Dayou and others did not think it was strange that they defeated the Xianbei cavalry, and they did not think about it. They had lived a life of licking blood from the edge of a knife.

They don't know what it means to be brave when they meet on a narrow road, but they know that when their lives are at stake, they can't give in. If they give in, they will die.

Two hours later, Tuoba Yu led his troops and rushed out through the hole that was finally opened.

Qin Sheng led his men and horses and pretended to pursue him. After chasing for a mile or two, he pretended that the horses were exhausted and stopped.

Zhui Feng neighed in dissatisfaction. Qin Sheng held the bloody red tassel gun in one hand and stroked its mane comfortingly with the other.

Qin Sheng knew very well that Tuoba Yu could not be killed at this time. If Tuoba Yu dies, Xianbei will be forced to fight with them in Pingzhou.

The main battle on Qin Sheng's side was over, and the other cavalry squads of the Jintai Army gradually returned.

Facing the soldiers who died and were injured in this battle, Qin Sheng was silent for a moment and then ordered people to take them back.

……

When Dugu Zhong retreated with the remaining seven or eight thousand soldiers and horses, he was always on guard against Yang Yingqin or the Sun Army's pursuit, but no, neither Yang Yingqin nor the Sun Army caught up.

He then guessed that the people in Pingzhou had lied just now, and that Pingzhou and Dali did not join forces to harm Xianbei.

If they really join forces, they will definitely not miss the opportunity to hunt them down.

When he returned with the remaining troops, he saw traces of fighting halfway along the road and guessed that their Xianbei reinforcements should have been ambushed.

The soldiers were ordered to be careful about ambush.

Houyi County

The news that Tuoba Yu and his 40,000 cavalrymen were ambushed and turned back halfway was reported to Tuoba Khan.

"Forty thousand cavalry were driven back in such a dejected state?" Tuoba Khan couldn't believe it.

"Where is Tuoba Yu?"

"The third prince is outside."

"Let him get in!"

As soon as he saw the disgraced Tuoba Yu, Tuoba Khan became furious, "Are you a pig? The army is setting off, why don't you order a small group to go ahead?"

Tuoba Yu lowered his head in embarrassment.

After a while, Tuoba Khan calmed down his anger and asked, "How many cavalry did the other side send out?"

"About twenty thousand?"

"Pingzhou's 20,000 new cavalrymen killed our Xianbei 40,000 old cavalrymen to pieces!" Tuoba Khan sneered, "You didn't even reach Jiumen County, but you lost 20,000 cavalrymen to Ben Khan. How good it is. ”

Others couldn't help but persuade him, "Kang, please calm down. Pingzhou is doing this out of spite."

"Khan, what now?"

When Tuoba Yu and others returned, the other 40,000 infantrymen had just assembled and were ready to set off. Now that something unexpected has happened, they will be waiting in place.

"Order Wei Chi Rui to lead 20,000 cavalry and 40,000 infantry to Jiumen County." Tuoba Khan knew very well that Dugu Zhong must be waiting for reinforcements.

At this moment, the messenger came to report, "General Dugu is back and returned with a great defeat."

Tuoba Khan closed his eyes and said, "Invite him in."

Later, when they learned the reason for Dugu Zhong's defeat, the entire Xianbei royal camp was silent. It can only be said that he lost the entire battle due to one careless move.

Then, they reported their losses. This time, they lost a total of more than 60,000 troops.

Everyone looked at each other. Xianbei had not suffered such a big loss for a long time. The last time they lost so many troops was in Yanmen.

"Khan, what should we do now?" Should we send troops to attack Jiumen County?

In the Xianbei King's tent, everyone looked at their superiors.

Tuoba Khan asked Dugu Zhong, "Have you found out the cause of the eldest prince's death?"

Dugu Zhong thought carefully and said, "It is certain that the eldest prince encountered an earthquake. I will eventually hear what Pingzhou revealed, and it seems that Pingzhou and Dali have joined forces..."

"Impossible." Tuoba Khan said flatly.

Dugu Zhong nodded, "Of course, this may also be a plan to alienate Pingzhou. In this regard, Dali is silent, neither admitting nor denying."

"No matter what, Pingzhou is one of the culprits after all." Tuoba Khan said quietly.

The people below all understood that the Khan wanted to continue attacking Jiumen County to avenge the eldest prince.

At this time, Tuobalian looked at this and that, and couldn't help but say, "Father, Dali is also the culprit, shall we fight Dali? Those who achieve great things should abandon their personal grudges."

Tuoba Khan slammed the table hard and cursed, "You bastard! The Pingzhou army killed your eldest brother!"

Tuobalian stopped talking. He thought to himself, there is no one who will not die in a war. Forget it, it's him who talks too much, and he will naturally turn around when he hits the wall.

Tuobalian now has rich experience in predicting the outcome of their Xianbei and Pingzhou battles.

"Khan calm down-"

The seventh prince withstood the Khan's anger and gave very pertinent opinions. The other generals present were naturally willing to speak out to protect him.

Finally, after discussion, everyone agreed that Yuchi Rui would lead an army of 60,000 people and march towards Jiumen County.

Tuoba Khan dared to send 110,000 troops to Jiumen County before, but now he can't.

There is a cavalry battalion in Pingzhou, and its strength is not weak.

Houyi County, where their Xianbei royal tent is stationed, also needs to leave enough troops.

This time, Yu Chirui walked very slowly. He sent a team of troops to explore the road ahead to ensure that there was no ambush.

In Jiumen County, after Dugu Zhong and Yang Yingqin led the remaining troops to leave, Sun Ming sent Muye to lead a team to meet Qin Sheng, and then let the others start working. First, they had to reinforce the entire city.

Materials such as cement were brought by Sun Ming and others when they came over, and they will come in handy.

There is strength in numbers. When Yu Chirui led the army to Jiumen County without any danger, what they saw was the city wall that had been heightened and widened again.

Yu Chirui:......

This time, Sun Jiajun and Jintai Army defended the city and did not engage in field battles with each other at all.

Yang Yingqin from Zhongshan City breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that Xianbei and Hepingzhou were facing each other again in Jiumen County.

Unfortunately, Xianbei's siege did not go smoothly.

The 60,000-strong army led by Yuchi Rui was unable to attack the Pingzhou army in Shangjiumen County for a long time.

"If everyone keeps holding on, the Xianbei army will retreat soon." This is how the generals of Pingzhou in Jiumen County encouraged their soldiers.

As long as they survive this wave, they will be able to live a good life in the future.

Yuchi Rui was unable to capture Jiumen County, and Tuoba Khan could not express his anger.

Under the persuasion of others, I had to consider adopting everyone's opinions and change the target.

Therefore, Yu Chirui was the first to receive the order and slowly withdraw his troops.

Watching the Xianbei army leave, bursts of cheers rang out in Jiumen County.

Then, Xianbei went south from Changshan and attacked Leping County in the name of "Dali and Pingzhou colluded to kill Tuoba Xun, and they wanted to avenge Prince Tuoba Xun."

In fact, they also suspected that this was a divorce plan by Pingzhou, but what did it have to do with it? It does not prevent them from using this excuse to attack Dali.

This was just right. Otherwise, Dali had just given them so many county towns in Changshan, and the two sides had tacitly suspended the war. It would have been hard for them to break up.
