When the court ministers of Qianjing were busy preparing to move the capital, the Battle of Tuyuhun began.

Just as Zhao Junsheng expected, the leaders of the various tribes of the party were also shrewd like ghosts, and they did not launch an attack on 25 March, when the agreed attack was launched, but waited for another five days before sending troops.

The small tribes are worried about being annexed by the big tribes, and the big tribes are also fighting the ideas of the small tribes, and they want the cavalry of the small tribes to be cannon fodder.

Mu Liyan, the king of Tuyuhun, had actually been guarding against the Qianjun, but Tuyuhun had no infantry and could not hold the pass and the city, so when he learned that the Qianjun had signs of sending troops, he ordered to shrink his forces and concentrate all his troops near the four cities of Xiping, Longqi City, Fuqi City, and Shudun City.

But what Mu Liyan never expected was that the party people in the valley in the south made a move to him, and as soon as they were dispatched, there were 20,000 cavalry, Tuyuhun had also fought with the party members before, but the party people had never sent so many cavalry, which was almost equal to all the tribes of the party were dispatched.

"King, the cadres have also sent troops!" A cavalryman ran into the tent and reported to Mulliyan.

"What, the cadres are also dispatched?" Mu Liyan's face changed drastically, "From which direction did they kill them?" ”

"They killed from two directions, 15,000 people from the direction of Jincheng and 20,000 people from Dadougu!"

Mu Liyan muttered to himself: "The great catastrophe of Tuyuhun is coming!" ”

The general Chili stood up and said: "King, now we are being attacked from three sides, it is very critical, we must find a way to break the enemy, whether it is the party members or the cadres, their advance speed is very fast, once they are beaten to the vicinity of Fuqi City to complete the siege, we will definitely be defeated!" ”

Mu Liyan pondered for a long time and asked, "Where are the cavalry of the party people now?" ”

"It should have crossed the Bayan Pass, and their direction of attack is Shudun City!"

Mu Liyan's eyes gradually became sharp, and he said with a cold face: "Instead of dividing troops to meet the cannibalization one by one, it is better to concentrate your forces to attack all the way first!" The Qianguo is strong, even if we defeat one of the Qianjun, they can send a steady stream of soldiers and horses, and it is not cost-effective to fight them, and in the end it is we who suffer! We will first concentrate our forces to defeat the party members, and then on this plateau and around the cadre army, this king will let them come and die as many as they want! After passing the order, the soldiers and horses of all departments quickly assembled, so that all the men, women and children in the city moved to Bailan to temporarily avoid the front of the army! ”

Chi Li was surprised: "King, Fu Qi City is my capital city of Tuguhun, and discarding the capital like this is a great blow to the morale of both the people and the Erlang!" ”

"I know, you go and give orders!"

"Yes!"

Two hours later, 30,000 Tuyuhun cavalry and 100,000 Tuyuhun men, women, and children gathered outside the city with their families.

Mu Liyan climbed to the tower of Fu Qi City, he held on to the wall and looked at the hundreds of thousands of people below and shouted: "Qianguo has sent troops to us, their soldiers have come to attack us in two ways, and the shameless party and people have also united to attack us, we must temporarily avoid the edge of the enemy army, today we give up Fu Qi City in order to survive, one day we will take it back!" ”

"Chili, you take 10,000 cavalry to protect men, women, and children and move to Bailan, and you can set off!"

"Yes, King!"

Chili led 10,000 cavalry to escort 100,000 Tuyuhun people to the southwest.

Soon after, Mulliyan set out with 20,000 cavalry to the southeast of Shudun City.

By the time Mu Liyan arrived at Shudun City with 20,000 cavalry, the 20,000 cavalry of the Dangxiang people were only a day's journey from here, and Shudun City had concentrated 10,000 Tuyuhun cavalry around it, and these people were preparing for battle.

Mu Liyan had 30,000 horses in his hands to command, but it was a pity that the Tuyuhun cavalry that remained in Longqi City and Xiping could not be quickly transferred back, and they had to protect the Tuyuhun herdsmen there to retreat, otherwise he would have gathered all his forces and had 50,000 horses.

"Great King, we have received news that our tribes in the south have been slaughtered by the Dangxiang people, and only a few of them have fled to Shudun City, according to the fleeing herdsmen, the Dangxiang people can arrive here before noon tomorrow at the latest!"

Mu Liyan ordered: "Send more sentinels to investigate, and we must find out the whereabouts of the party members!" ”

"Yes, King!"

Early the next morning, the Sentinels brought back the movement of the party cavalry, and they were advancing rapidly towards Shudun City, where they could arrive by noon.

Mu Liyan was actually not sure in his heart, the horses of the party members were all good horses, and they were very fast when they sprinted, and the party cavalry were all fearless of death when they were fighting, and they were extremely fierce, and there were few exchanges between the various tribes of the party on weekdays, so the party members were only a few thousand people at most, and dozens of people when they were few.

If there were only one or two tribes, Mu Liyan would have no pressure at all, but this time the party members seemed to be dispatched by the whole clan, and this battle was not easy to fight, and if it was not done well, the ship would capsize.

"King, don't we arrange our soldiers and horses outside the city to meet us?"

Mu Liyan waved his hand: "Don't worry, if we go out of the city now to set up a position, the sentry cavalry of the party people will definitely find out, and the party leaders will know that we are ready, they will definitely stop at a long distance from Shudun City, and then attack us when everyone is full of food and drink and rest." This king is doing this to paralyze them first, let them relax their vigilance, and when they get to the city, we will kill them again!" ”

After more than an hour, the sentry cavalry sent out by Mu Liyan came back with the news that the 20,000 horses of the Dangxiang people had arrived ten miles away, and there were still sentry horses of the Dangxiang people chasing after the Tuyuhun sentry horse.

Mu Liyan immediately ordered the 30,000 Tuyuhun cavalry in the city to prepare for an attack.

It didn't take long for a mighty party cavalry to gallop towards Shudun City, and the smoke and dust raised by the army after marching soared into the sky.

The sound of rumbling horses' hooves was like rolling thunder, and the whole earth trembled.

"They're coming, my lord!"

The people of the party were very skillful in horsemanship, the quality of their horses was very high, and they were all very good, and they began to organize their teams according to the tribal formation after arriving two miles outside the city.

Mu Liyan's eyes froze, he knew that this was the best time to attack, he didn't wait any longer, turned around and ran down the tower.

"King, everyone is ready!" A general reports.

Mu Liyan turned over his horse and waved his hand: "Order the other 20,000 people to open the east and west gates and attack from the left and right flanks!" ”

"Yes, King!"

Mu Liyan pointed ahead: "Open the city gates!" ”

The city gate creaked open, and Mu Liyan pulled out his scimitar and raised it above his head and slashed in the direction of the city gate: "Sons, kill me out, kill all those party barbarians, and charge with me!" ”

"Rush—"

"Woolulu—Woolulu······" The Tuyuhun cavalry screamed one by one, and followed Mu Liyan to rush out of the city gate in turn and kill the party members outside the city.

"Kill—" Mulliyan shouted as he whipped his scimitar as he beat his horse.

"Kill—" The Tuyuhun cavalry kept shouting.

The leaders of the party outside the city saw that the Tuyuhun people were actually killed at this time, and their faces changed greatly, and the leader of the Tuoba tribe, Tuoba Siqi, pulled out his scimitar and pointed forward: "I can't wait for the brigade to assemble, rush over for me, kill——"

"Kill—"

The Tuyuhun people have already made complete preparations, and the party members have just arrived, and their foothold is unstable, they have no psychological preparation to leave and start a war, but at this time, they can no longer help them, if they do not face the battle, it can only be a dead end.

"Puff puff ······" Mu Liyan sprinted quickly on his horse, and kept swinging his knife to slash and kill the party cavalry, the party people were fierce, as long as they had not fallen off their horses, they would fight back desperately.

The two sides entered a big melee, and Mu Liyan completely underestimated the strong fighting will and the spirit of the party members who were not afraid of death, although he waited for work, but the party people fought extremely tenaciously and desperately under the condition of physical and horse fatigue.

As the battle progressed, Mu Liyan's heart became colder and colder, and after the number of troops exceeded a certain number, the combat effectiveness of the party members increased significantly.

Fortunately, the Tuyuhun cavalry that came out of the east and west gates quickly attacked from the left and right flanks, suppressing the fierce momentum of the party members in one fell swoop, and the party members in front suffered heavy casualties, and there were faint signs of being unable to resist, but a large number of party cavalry in the rear joined to alleviate this situation.

The battle was fought very fiercely, from noon until dusk, with heavy losses on both sides, with the Mulliyan side losing more than 10,000 men, and the Dangxiang men hastily responding to the battle after a long march, and even so, their losses were less than those of the Tuyuhun people, who lost more than 7,000 men.

It's getting dark, the battle can't go on, it's easy to be injured by mistake in the fight of the black light, and no one on either side can help the other, and it is also a very tacit separation.

The Tuyuhun people retreated and returned to the city, while the party retreated and camped for thirty miles.

That night, Mu Liyan deeply felt the difficulty of the party cavalry, and if he continued to fight like this, he was afraid that the less than 20,000 people left of him would fight with the party members.

After careful consideration, Mu Liyan ordered the withdrawal of the army overnight, and less than 20,000 Tuyuhun cavalry withdrew to Bailan overnight under the leadership of Mu Liyan.

In fact, at this time, the party members could not be killed, they had gone through a long journey, both the knights and the horses were very tired, and they fought for another afternoon, and after camping, they were already too tired to move, and they still did not recover until the next day.

The sentinels soon brought the news that Muliyan had led his army to leave Shudun City, so the Dangxiang people entered Shudun City, and they divided the grain, cattle, sheep and other supplies that the Tuyuhun people had not had time to take with them.

The total loss of nearly 8,000 people in this battle was something that had never happened to the party before, because the casualties were so great that several tribal leaders refused to continue sending troops on this ground, and they needed to restore the rest of the people to physical strength and spirit.

Several of the chieftains advocated continuing the march, because according to the agreement with the Qianguo, whoever occupied the territory belonged to whomever would get it, and they could not pursue Muliyan, but they could seize more territory.

This suggestion was supported and approved by the other chiefs, and several leaders who had not planned to continue the march were reluctant to be robbed of the fat in their mouths, so they all agreed to continue the march.

And at this time, a sentry came to report: "Report to the leaders, the envoys sent by the Qianguo!" ”

The party leaders looked at each other: "Why did the envoys come so quickly?" What to do? ”
