Tuoba Tao's guess was really good. In the early morning of the second day, Helianchang monk Shu Hu Liwen personally led a total of 30,000 infantry and cavalry out of the city and went straight to the Wei army to kill.

Seeing that the Xia army was gaining momentum, the Wei army assembled and retreated. The army of Xia was divided into two routes, chasing and outflanking left and right, and the drums shook the sky, chasing for five or six miles. When the Wei army was about to turn back to fight the Xia army, there was a sudden wind and rain, and the yellow sand was flying, blowing towards the Northern Wei army from the direction of the Hu Xia army. The dust and sand covered the sky and the sun, so that the soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty could not open their eyes.

Qiyun followed closely behind Tuoba Tao, always paying attention to Lu Ying, taking care not to get separated.

Zhao Ni, a eunuch in the Northern Wei army, knew Shinto spells and said to Tuoba Tao: "Now the wind and rain are coming from the enemy's side, we are against the wind, and the enemy is downwind, which shows that the heavens will not help me." What's more, our soldiers are hungry and thirsty, and we hope that Your Majesty will avoid their sharpness for the time being, and then find an opportunity later. ”

Changsun Han and others all suggested: "The infantry and cavalry coalition of the Xia army is too strong and difficult to control, and our army is inferior, so it does not occupy the right time and place. Your Majesty, please withdraw your troops quickly! ”

Seeing this, Tuoba Tao was a little hesitant about whether to advance or retreat. Qiyun rode a horse to follow Tuoba Tao's left and right, she knew that Tuoba Tao's confidence in using troops was the most important at this time, and said to him: "Your Majesty, you said before that crisis is danger and there are opportunities in it. The Wei army went thousands of miles to fight just for today. At this time, even if you run, it will be too late. At this time, Helian Chang was greedy and reckless, and there was no successor army. The emperor can hide the elite soldiers, attack separately, lure the enemy deep, and make an unexpected surprise attack on them. It is windy and rainy, taking advantage of the favorable time and place, and the same can turn defeat into victory, how can it be determined that it is not conducive to combat by rigid routines! ”

Tuoba Tao listened and praised: "Rules are dead, but people are alive." You're absolutely right! That's it. So, he ordered the Wei army to divide the troops, and he led the troops in front to contain and tempt the Xia army. Divide the remaining main cavalry into two teams, and send Mo Chuan, Changsun Han and others to lead the main force to make a detour and attack the back of the Xia army.

The wind and rain are getting stronger and stronger, and there are too few frontal people in the Wei army. During the battle, Tuoba Tao's war horse was stabbed in the body with a spear by several Xia soldiers, and he was frightened and threw him off the horse. The situation was critical, Qiyun was about to rush over, and she heard Lu Ying's exclamation, and several Xia soldiers surrounded her. Qiyun gritted her teeth and rushed into the encirclement of Xia soldiers, dragging Lu Ying to her horse.

Qiyun was so anxious that she wiped the rain from her face and rushed in the direction of Tuobatao. In the wind and rain, he saw that Tuoba Tao was surrounded by the Xia cavalry, and was almost captured by the soldiers of the Xia Kingdom, and he was in danger. At this time, fortunately, Tuoba Qi came out from the side, shielded the enemy's attack on Tuoba Tao with his own body guard, and fought desperately and tried his best, and the soldiers besieging Xia were repulsed.

Hu Liwen ordered the whole army to fire arrows at Tuoba Tao and Tuoba Qi. Suddenly, arrows rained down, and the Wei army was shot a lot by arrows. The sound of wind and rain, swords and bowstrings, and screams mingled.

Qiyun dismounted, and the hand dance Changya fought side by side with Tuoba Tao and Tuoba Qi. Tuoba Tao and Tuoba Qi used swords to fight arrows, but the feather arrows were dense, and both of them were hit by several arrows, but fortunately they were wearing heavy armor to block most of the arrows.

At the critical moment, the Wei army that attacked behind arrived. The Xia army fell into the encirclement of the Wei army, and the army led by Hu Liwen was suddenly in chaos. Tuoba Tao took advantage of this opportunity, turned over and jumped on horseback, stabbed Hu Liwen directly, immediately stabbed him under his horse, and then routed more than a dozen cavalrymen. Tuobatao's hand was also shot by a stray arrow, but he still fought hard to kill the enemy. Xia's forces were encircled by the Wei army and nearly collapsed.

When the soldiers of the Xia army saw that the commander had been stabbed under his horse, they immediately fled in all directions. Tuoba Tao reorganized the team, took advantage of the victory to pursue, chased the remnants of the Xia State to the north of Tongwan City, killed the younger brother of the Xia King Helian Chang, Anan Gong Helian Man, and his nephew Helian Mengxun, and killed more than 10,000 soldiers.

Helian Chang, who supervised the battle in front of the battle, never expected that the Wei army would turn defeat into victory at this moment, and when he saw the Wei army coming, he had no time to run into the city, so he had to flee in the direction of Tianshui with hundreds of officials.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the defenders of the Xia Kingdom above the city tower immediately put away the drawbridge and closed the city gate. The Wei army chased to the city gate, and the Xia army archers on the city tower were in strict formation, and when they saw the Wei army attacking the city tower, they immediately shot arrows. The Wei army was forced to retreat under the attack of feathered arrows like locusts.

After a few days, the follow-up infantry of the Wei State, heavy grain and grass, and siege equipment all arrived. After the Wei army gathered, they concentrated their firepower and attacked Tongwancheng, but the city tower was tall and strong, and it was unbreakable. The Wei army carried out round after round of attacks, all of which returned with heavy losses. Tuoba Tao and his subordinates sighed at the tall and majestic city wall every day, not knowing when they would be able to take this world-famous Tongwan City.

On this day, Tuoba Tao led more than a dozen young relatives such as Tuoba Qi and An Jie to climb the hillside and survey the terrain. Suddenly, seeing a person in the distance, Wei Jun dressed up, rode his horse and galloped forward. Tuoba Tao and the others widened their eyes and followed the figure of the man.

Suddenly, An Jie shouted, "That person looks like Yunqing." Everyone looked closely, and sure enough, it was her.

Tuoba Tao saw that her direction was going to Tongwan City, secretly screamed "not good", took a war horse in his hand, jumped on his long legs, stepped on the horse, and was about to chase in the direction of Yunqing. When everyone saw this, they hurriedly stopped the horse's head, and some of them grabbed the reins, and they all stopped: "Your Majesty, don't." ”

Tuoba Tao pulled out his sword and said with a solemn expression: "The situation is in crisis, everyone will get out of the way!" How could I watch Yun Qing, who had been with me many times from death to life, into danger without helping. Will you love such an emperor? ”

Tuoba Qi and An Jie and the others looked at each other, only to let go of the reins, spread out to both sides, and let one out in the middle.

Tuoba Tao immediately rode his horse and whipped up, and quickly chased after Yunqing's figure. The generals looked at it in a daze for a while, and Tuoba Qi shouted: "Brothers, what are we still doing in a daze? Wherever the emperor goes, we will be there. Even if it is up the knife mountain and down the sea of fire, we are all together. ”

When the others heard this, they all turned over and galloped all the way behind Tuobatao. Gradually, Tuoba Tao caught up with Yunqing, facing the wind, and shouted loudly: "Yun'er, where are you going?" ”

Qiyun turned her head and saw that it was him, and said hurriedly: "Lu Ying was taken away by Xia Bing, just in front, I want to save her." Hearing this, Tuoba Tao looked up into the distance, and sure enough, he saw Lu Ying being taken captive by Xia Bing and running towards Tongwan City. Tuoba Tao saw it and wanted to bend his bow and arrow, but it was too late.

Those Xia soldiers held Lu Ying on their horses, tied their hands and feet, crossed the suspension bridge, and rushed into Tongwan City.

Seeing that the suspension bridge was about to rise, Qiyun was anxious when he saw this, and did not hesitate to ride his horse into Tongwan City. And Tuoba Tao and several of his young generals in the back also followed closely and galloped wildly, and the group entered Tongwan City.
