Two days later, the two sides entered the seventh day of confrontation, and the tide of the battle really changed significantly.

It's just that this change made Yan Lishi and others completely fall into despair!

Not long after Xu You led his army to leave Luoyang, taking advantage of the darkness of the night, Ye Min and 20,000 Chifeng troops suddenly appeared in Yewang City north of the Yellow River, and launched a sneak attack on the 100,000 Wei troops stationed here.

Xi Fuling, the general of the left who had been prepared, ambushed in the high ground outside Yewang City, and when Ye Min arrived, he immediately launched an attack from the rear, and the Chifeng army was defeated, and 20,000 people fled to the ferry in a hurry, preparing to cross the river and return to Luoyang, but found that Xi Fuling had arranged for Shi Tian to lead 5,000 people to seal the river in advance, and in desperation, he could only go east along the Yellow River.

From discovering the movements of the defenders of Luoyang, to setting up an ambush on the high ground outside the city, and then sealing the Yellow River crossing, Xi Fuling had no last resort, and it was when he was complacent, and he did not doubt him, and led the main force of 30,000 elite people to chase after him. Who knew that as soon as he chased out more than ten miles, a raging fire burned behind him, and the location of the fire was the Yewang City where all the grain and grass were stored.

"Sound from east to west!"

Knowing the plan, Xi Fuling hurriedly ordered the troops to be collected, wanting to return to the Wild King City, after all, Changsun Sheng was still in the Wild King, if something went wrong, he couldn't afford it. The Chifeng army, which ran faster than a rabbit before, turned around and launched a counterattack, one by one like wolves and tigers, extremely brave, and their combat effectiveness soared a hundredfold, breaking through the Wei army's defense line almost instantly, and harvesting people's heads frantically in a disciplined manner.

Xi Fuling's subordinates are all the soldiers of the states and counties of Wei State, especially not good at night fighting, it is okay to fight a tailwind battle, and the headwind situation is not a little bit worse, he tried his best to reorganize the defense line, but the troops are like headless flies, the soldiers do not know the generals in the dark night, the generals do not know the soldiers, the establishment is chaotic, and it is really weak to return to the sky, so he had to take more than 100 guards and flee back to Yewang City on horseback.

There were still nearly 70,000 people there, although most of them were miscellaneous soldiers, but they had the advantage in numbers and were properly strategized, which was enough for him to turn defeat into victory!

Yewang City was taken advantage of by Tang Zhijian and Zhenhaidu, not only set fire to all the grain and grass, but also took advantage of the chaos to break into the camp in the north of the city, and only used 5,000 people to defeat the army of tens of thousands of people, and captured the eldest grandson Sheng who was drunk and asleep. When Xi Fuling finally escaped back, he looked around, there was fire everywhere, and the soldiers who were clinging to their heads completely lost their fighting spirit, and no matter how they called, they couldn't form the formation again, and even he himself was coerced by the chaotic soldiers to flee for his life to Shangdang County in the north.

Along the way, he met Shi Day, Shi Day's subordinates are mainly the fellow villagers of the Qi tribe, and the cohesion is very high, so there will be nearly 2,000 people who have not collapsed here. It all relied on these 2,000 people to lay the foundation, like a snowball, and when it was dawn, more than 40,000 people were gathered one after another, and then they found that they had arrived in Shencheng.

The city is a small city, the city is low, and it has no defensive value, but it is good to shelter from the wind and rain, and it can be used for the defeated soldiers to rest for a while. Before entering the city, the chasing soldiers behind him arrived, and after a battle, Xi Fuling was defeated again, and less than 30,000 of the more than 40,000 people who were finally gathered together escaped.

The city was then overcome, and fled north again, and the pursuers were like maggots attached to the bones, not hurrying, not slow, not slow, but always when they were exhausted and just about to catch their breath, they pounced and ate some of them. After five or six days, Xi Fuling had less than 20,000 troops at his disposal, and the rest were either killed and captured, or they couldn't stand this torture, so they simply threw away their armor and collapsed on the side of the road, giving up resistance directly.

Anyway, the Chu army is famous for treating prisoners preferentially, surrendering, at least you can drink saliva and eat a mouthful of food, and most importantly, you can sleep well!

Running like this day and night, not to mention that the pampered Xi Fuling couldn't stand it, and secretly didn't know how many times he scolded his mother, and even Shi Tian, who was rough-skinned and thick-skinned, collapsed:

Don't Chu people sleep or eat?

The animals at home are not so tolerant of roughness!

Zhenhai is not mentioned, it is a special operations force, the fifty-kilometer weight-bearing cross-country training has not stopped since the day the capital was built, although the training intensity of the Chifeng Army is not as great as that of Zhenhaidu, but compared to the Zhenshu soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty, it is still the ceiling that they can't see.

That's a lot more rough than an animal!

However, scolding and scolding, the escape had to continue, and the chasing soldiers behind him were like taking the long-lasting medicine of the secret tune of the Qinglou Painting Boat, and they couldn't stop at all. Along the Danshui River valley all the way to the north, Ye Min led the Chifeng army to win seven battles and seven victories, killing the enemy Yingye, and shocking Shangdang, Lingchuan, Gaodu, Hyunshi, Changping and many other cities fell one after another, and the soldiers pointed directly at the county governor of Shangdang County.

There are only 1,000 garrisons in Changzi County, and the rest are with Changsun Sheng and Xi Fuling, who have long been submerged in Yewang City.

Xi Fuling, who arrived at the eldest son, was completely dumbfounded, not only did he not have a force to replenish, but the empty city could hardly find food that could fill his belly, and he could already see the banner of the Chu army in the distance, he fell into deep despair, looking at the troops of less than 3,000 people under his command, ragged and exhausted, he really couldn't run, thinking about the mighty 100,000 army when he set out on the expedition, how majestic, he was bored for a while, he was about to draw his sword and kill himself, and was desperately captured by Shi Tian, and said: "General don't panic, go forward to retreat the enemy!" ”

Xi Fuling was stunned, thinking that he had heard something wrong, and said, "Retreat from the enemy? ”

"Yes!" Shi Tian said: "Please be patient for the time being, the left and right flags will be silenced, and it is strictly forbidden for any people to walk around the city, ambush soldiers on both sides of the city wall, and do not make noise...... Then give the order to open the gates......"

"Open the gates? Are you sure? ”

"General, there is no food and no soldiers in the city, it doesn't matter whether the city gate is closed or not, it is better to let the Jiexia try boldly, and you will be able to retreat from the enemy!"

Xi Fuling six gods have no owner, all according to Shi Day, he untied his armor casually, threw away the big knife, knelt naked, kowtowed three times, and resolutely walked to the city gate.

After a while, the Chu army arrived, the dust and smoke were billowing, the flag covered the sun, the momentum was incomparably huge, Xi Fuling and the tribes were hidden in the shadow of the city wall, all trembling, and the atmosphere did not dare to come out.

If Shi Tian's strategy fails, he will bear the brunt of death, but others can't escape, everyone is a grasshopper on a rope, life and death are up to the sky, and the atmosphere is depressed to the extreme.

Wang Shizhu's endurance finally reached the limit, he came from an ordinary Han family in Bingzhou, not a hereditary soldier of the Wei State, and lost his land after the death of his parents, and became a town soldier in Bingzhou in order to eat and survive. This time he went out with the army, chased by the elusive Chu army like a lost dog, for a few days and nights, endlessly, staying up to this point, his spirit completely collapsed, there seemed to be a voice in his mind tempting him, the corners of his lips and the tips of his eyes trembled violently, suddenly, he stood up, drew his knife and wanted to rush out of the city to fight, and was immediately covered by his teammates next to him and pressed to the ground.

Seeing that he was still struggling, as if he had fallen under an evil spell, lest he spoil Shi Tian's plan, Xi Fuling waved his hand in disgust, and the two guards immediately stepped forward and cut off Wang Shizhu's neck.

Blood spilled from his fingers and flowed all over the ground, Wang Shizhu looked at the sky greedily, and swallowed his last breath.

He was very afraid of death, but he would really die, but his heart was extremely peaceful and satisfied!

Perhaps the courage that remained in the bones was aroused by blood and death, but the Wei army went out, everyone held the swords and guns in their hands tightly, just waiting for Shi Tian's strategy to fail, the Chu army began to attack the city, and immediately rushed out, killing one is enough, killing two to earn!

I don't know how long it took, maybe only two or three quarters of an hour, maybe an hour or two later, Xi Fuling almost accepted the cruel fate that was coming, and suddenly heard a hoarse cry from the secret sentry left at the head of the city: "Chu army...... Retreated! ”

Xi Fuling was stunned for a while, and hurriedly led the crowd to the city gate, and saw Shi Tian standing in the doorway, his figure was so tall and majestic, and he said in a trembling voice: "The Chu army has really retreated."

Shi Tian replied seemingly calmly: "Relying on the general's divine might, the Chu people dare not attack the city......" In fact, his back was already sweating like rain.

Xi Fuling walked quickly past the stone day, poked his head and looked, there was no one outside the city, and he suddenly laughed excitedly, and said, "Okay! Good! Shi Day, you have made this great achievement, after returning to Beijing, I will guarantee your promotion and fortune! ”

Shi Tian thanked him again and again, he was born and died, and he retired from the enemy naked, isn't it just for the sake of being promoted and making a fortune?

When Xi Fuling and the others were fortunate to be freed from the nightmare, they didn't know that the Chu army that appeared outside the county seat of the eldest son was only more than 1,000 people, but it was just that the extra flags and deliberate dust created the illusion of strong troops, and Ye Min was not prepared to attack Changzhi at all.

Shangdang as the "spine of the world", the place where the soldiers fought four battles, the eldest son of the county seat is tall and strong, if the lord does not flee, Xi Fuling defends to the death, and the possibility of conquering is very small. Once the attack cannot be carried out for a long time, the Wei court will not sit idly by, and then send reinforcements to rescue, and then the victory or defeat will be unpredictable.

Therefore, Ye Min's real main force secretly crossed Changzi County and went to Licheng in the northeast, first deceived the city gate with the captured Wei army, and then Tang Zhijian painted a gourd in the same way and conquered Hukou Pass overnight.

Hukou Pass, a famous military place, the cliff path is dangerous, the two peaks are sandwiched, the shape is like the mouth of the pot, so it has this name. The mouth of the pot was closed in his hand, and Fukou, one of the eight Taihang Mountains, opened the door to the Chu army.

In the Taihang Eight Mountains, the Fukou Pass is the flattest, and it is also the most suitable for the action of the army, Ye Min went out of the Taihang Mountain in the east, and attacked the Fukou Pass located in the Drum Mountain, and the defenders on the pass thought they had seen a ghost.

In less than half an hour of fighting, the Fukou Pass, which is known as the dangerous pass of Jizhou, fell, and Ye Min captured Cixian County like lightning, approaching Santaizhuang more than ten miles northwest of Yecheng.

Yecheng is the base camp of Yuan Mulan's southward journey this time, and there are countless hoards of grain and grass, and if it falls, the Wei army will completely lose the possibility of turning around.

On the other hand, the Douxing led 20,000 men to the east by boat, and after several fierce battles, he successfully burned the river bridge connecting the two banks of the Yellow River in Baimajin, and then besieged the slipway day and night. It's just that the sliding platform guards are quite sophisticated, relying on the geographical advantage, so that the Taitai Douxing can't attack for a long time. However, the cruise of the Youdu military boats can be regarded as cutting off the connection between the slipway and Yecheng.

After receiving the emergency battle report from Yecheng and Huatai, Yan Lishi and others asked for help again, asking Yuan Mulan to withdraw his troops immediately and return to help Huatai and Yecheng.

"Your Highness is stubborn and self-serving, delaying the military plane, we can't wait!" Yan Lishi said to He Bayun.

He Bayun pondered again and again, and sighed: "Okay, I won't participate in your actions, but if you can do it, I won't object." ”

Yan Lishi is most worried about He Bayun, this old man's qualifications, prestige, and status are too high, without his consent, even if Yuan Mulan is trapped, he can't command the army.

"Okay, uncle, just sit and watch. Tonight, I'll march to war! ”
