Li Xin brought all the real foot soldiers this time, an army of 10,000 people, and after setting off from Sanshui County, he rushed to the southern foot of Niushou Mountain without stopping. The reason why Li Xin did this was because this place was the place where Liu Weichen was most likely to have variables on his way to the north.

The 10,000 army is slow, after all, it is moving forward in the mountains and forests, don't look at 10,000 people seems to be a lot, if it is really put in this big mountain, I am afraid it will be like a drop of water into the sea.

Worried that the situation of the battle would change, Li Xin led 3,000 men and horses to march in a hurry and rushed to this place first.

When Liu Weichen entered the mountains and forests before, in fact, he had just arrived here with the army, and it had not been more than an hour. If it is a little later, I am afraid that the two sides will meet in the mountains and forests. When the time comes, it will inevitably turn into a guerrilla war.

"Immediately send someone to inform Li Erhei and tell them to speed up their journey north! As for our words, we will immediately retreat, go around from the eastern side of the mountain to the north of Qingshan Gorge, and intercept Liu Weichen's army there! Li Xin looked at it for a while and ordered.

Soon, the soldiers who had come out of the woods retreated, and soon disappeared into the woods. At the same time, the heralds immediately rode in the direction of the county.

Li Erhei met the herald sent by Li Xin in the middle of the pursuit, and when he learned of the battle on the other side of the woods, he immediately ordered the whole army to speed up. At the same time, he also sent people to send a flag signal to Hu Tian on the other side, so that he could also speed up the march.

Thus, an operation to chase the dead and chase the north began. The Huashan army divided into several large armies and launched a pursuit of them from the directions that the various Huns might have passed.

It is said that Liu Weichen and others ran wildly all the way, and finally ran to the south of Qingshan Gorge without danger, which is located at the bend of the Yellow River, and the place where he crossed the river was in this area where the water is relatively gentle.

Seeing that the pontoon bridge on the river was still intact, and there was no figure of Huashan Army on the other side, Liu Weichen and others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

However, he was cunning by nature, and he didn't dare to let down his vigilance, especially after what had happened before, and he had raised his vigilance to the highest level.

"Immediately send someone to cross the river, investigate along the foot of the river bank and mountain, and check it out within a radius of thirty miles, to see if there is an ambush by the Huashan army!" After getting off the horse, Liu Weichen hurriedly sent a large number of scouts to cross the river to reconnoitre.

The other soldiers, after a night of running wildly, were already exhausted. was ambushed by Li Xin before, so that at this moment, it was the time when he was physically and mentally exhausted, and after hearing this order, he dismounted one after another, and lay down in a mess at the foot of the mountain on this shore.

"Report ..... Shan Yu, the big thing is not good! A large number of Huashan troops were found to be chasing after them, and it seemed that it was Li Erhei's soldiers and horses before! With a large number of tanks with you! Just as Liu Weichen was waiting for the news in front, the scout who was in charge of keeping an eye on the back suddenly ran back to report.

"What? How did it come so quickly? When Liu Weichen heard this, he sat up from the ground in surprise and said in surprise.

The little ones saw that their soldiers were sitting on the big carts, and they were marching forward on pack horses, which was not slow. Judging by their appearance, if there is another hour, I'm afraid they will chase here! The spy hurriedly replied.

"Hurry up, order the whole army to cross the river and destroy this pontoon bridge before the Huashan army catches up!" As soon as he heard this, Liu Weichen didn't dare to hesitate anymore and immediately ordered.

The Hun soldiers, who had already been like frightened birds, dared to stay when they heard the news, jumped on horseback, and rushed to the top of the pontoon bridge.

This will, they don't care if the scout on the other side has found anything, and if there is any risk over there. After all, as long as you are not an idiot~, you can understand that in such a place, if these people let the Huashan Army's car array be blocked, it will be a dead end.

Because the terrain here is narrower and narrower, except for the south is threatened by the Huashan army, the north and west are surrounded by the Yellow River, and the east is a steep cliff, which is simply a dead place.

On the contrary, the terrain on the opposite side is more open and flatter, which is more conducive to the use of the army in any case! This is also the reason why Liu Weichen has to cross the river first regardless of whether there is an ambush on the other side.

Originally, everyone was able to pass smoothly, but so many people crowded on the pontoon bridge that everyone wanted to cross the river first. As a result, many people were squeezed into the water by people and horses, and then they were directly washed away by the water of the Yellow River.

When Liu Weichen saw this scene, he was immediately furious.

"Bastard, it's still arguing at this moment, and when the Huashan Army arrives, we'll all be finished! Come one by one, everyone will move forward smoothly, if anyone dares to take the lead again, Ben Shan Yu will cut him! Liu Weichen ordered his soldiers to guard the bridge, showed his bright knife, and scolded.

Intimidated by his majesty, the scene was stabilized. However, although the back was smooth, it was still delayed for some time after all. So much so that when the Huns were about to retreat, they could already see the figure of the Huashan army chasing from the south from a distance.

"Hurry up, cut this pontoon bridge, don't let them chase after you!" After seeing this scene, Liu Weichen, who had just stepped on the shore, immediately shouted.

In the end, the pontoon bridge was destroyed by them. By the time Li Erhei and his people arrived, there was no longer a piece of the river.

"General, General Hu, they have already caught up, if nothing else, General Peng and their side should be almost there! What do we do now? A deputy staff general next to him saw that Hu Tian's army on the opposite side had already chased after him directly, so he asked.

"The order is to go down and build a pontoon bridge at once, and it must be built as soon as possible. We're going to cross the river to join General Hu and them! Li Erhei ordered.

"Yes, my subordinates will immediately mobilize manpower!"

While Li Erhei was busy making the pontoon bridge, Hu Tian and the others were still chasing Liu Weichen and the others with all their might.

The area where the Yellow River passes through the east of Helan Mountain is the famous Ningxia Plain, which is part of the Hetao Plain. Traditionally, the area around Yinchuan in Ningxia is known as the Xitao Plain.

Qingshan Gorge is located in the southern part of the Xitao Plain, and there are two bends on both sides of the Yellow River in this gorge. Because of the mountainous terrain on the east and west sides, the north-south road is relatively narrow. But after passing here, the terrain is much more open and flat.

And in such a place, if it is a big battle with a large number of cavalry, it is definitely not a good thing. Therefore, after Liu Weichen crossed the Yellow River, he did not stop for a moment and kept rushing north, until he left the valley, and then he was relieved.

"Shan Yu, there are a large number of Huashan troops chasing after you, how do we deal with it, please show Shan Yu!" Just after passing the area of Laojunliang in Jinshawan, the news from behind gradually increased.

"How many of them came?" Liu Weichen thought for a moment and asked.

"It doesn't seem like there are many, about 5,000 people!" The spy replied.

Hearing this number, Liu Weichen suddenly fell into thought.

With 8,000 cavalry in his hands, if he was dealing with 5,000 foot soldiers, he was basically holding a handle in his hand in the past, and he didn't have to worry about it at all. But if there is a car formation, the odds of winning are slim.

"Shan Yu, everyone has no intention of fighting again, let's hurry up and retreat north!" Seeing his expression, the people around him seemed to understand what he was thinking, and hurriedly persuaded him.

"That is, if we are dragged by the Huashan army, when the enemy army on the east bank crosses the river, we may not be able to run if we want to!"

"We don't have many soldiers and horses left, it's important to preserve our strength first!"

.......

Everyone has no will to fight, and their morale is especially low, and they don't want to fight anymore.

When Liu Weichen heard this, he saw the blank and frightened eyes of the soldiers around him, and he couldn't help but feel helpless in his heart, so he had to say: "That's it, let's withdraw the army immediately!" ”

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help cheering, and hurriedly continued to hurry. Only Liu Weichen was a little unwilling in his heart, after all, in his opinion, the five thousand centaurs seemed to be like fat to the mouth, and he couldn't put his mouth down, which was really uncomfortable!

"Don't worry, there are many small tribes that betrayed us in the first place, and some tribes who have never been loyal to us. We passed through these places on our way north, burned down their tents, and took back their women, cattle and sheep. In this way, we will not be completely rewarded when we go south this time! When a shrewd person next to him saw his appearance, he immediately knew what he was thinking, and hurriedly suggested.

Hearing this, Liu Weichen finally became happy. After all, the Northland Hu tribe has always been like this, and after failing here, they will be able to get it back on the other side.

This is also a reason why the grassland Hu people are always born again in the spring breeze, in addition to normal reproduction, there is also this naked ~ naked plunder, weakening others to strengthen their own tribe.

In order to get rid of Hu Tian's pursuit, Liu Weichen ordered the whole army to march at full speed, so that he would soon distance himself from Hu Tian and them.

Hu Tian was certainly in a hurry, but there was no better way to keep up. And just as the two sides were drifting apart, at this time, the 8,000 cavalry army led by Peng Lin and Yu Song had just left the mountain pass and appeared where Liu Weichen and the others had stayed before.

"Qi two generals, the Hun army has marched eastward from this place and approached the area around the old site of Fuping County! It's about fifty miles away from us now! "The scout who was sent out first rushed back at this time to report.
