"Lord Tuoba, give me some men and horses, and let me stop the Han army attacking from the rear for you." A leader stood up and said to Tuoba Shishu.

Tuoba Shishu bowed his head and was silent, just as the leader wanted to further persuade Tuoba Shishu, the next to him took a step forward and said to him: "The Khan's order has been transmitted, and the Khan ordered Lord Tuoba to withdraw his troops immediately, immediately return to the military camp on the front line to standby, and immediately carry out the order without delay." ”

"Retreat now? Wouldn't it be to let the Han people chase our rear team all the way to the front line, and choosing to retreat now is a decision made by idiots. Didn't they Han people say that they would not be subject to the orders of foreign monarchs, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and even the Khan can't completely control it! The leader was also a little anxious at this time and said to Tuoba Shishu.

"That's the Han Chinese! We are the people of the steppe! Do you think that the Khan will be able to forgive the sin of disrespect because of what you said about the Han people? If you wish, you can lead your own army to continue the battle here. Anyway, if you fail here, those Han people will cut off your head and go back to ask for credit; If you win, the Khan will cut off your head and pass it on to the three armies as an example. Or follow me and withdraw directly, so that the Han people can't hurt you, and the Khan can't hurt you, you decide for yourself. After Tuoba Shishu finished speaking to the leader in front of him, he turned around and commanded the army together with Philsher to start packing up the camp and preparing to retreat.

"It really needs to arrange some people to block the offensive of those Han people first. Or simply don't clean it up, anyway, the camp has been ignited by most of those Han people, and the rest of them are also a burden. Why don't we just take the army to the north, tear the encirclement of the Han people to the north, and then march east back to the camp. Seeing that the fire in the barracks was getting stronger and stronger, the people who forced to stop the fire kept retreating, and they also turned their heads to Tuoba Shishu and said.

"I don't want the food, supplies and weapons in these camps, but the camp is ruined, and even if I can return to the camp alive, then where do these people live? We can't let them just sleep in the wilderness, covering the floor. In that case, even if the Han people did not come to attack, these soldiers would be able to hang me on the camp gate and hang me. Tuoba Shi Shu shook his head and said to Philschu.

"It's okay, you can move the barracks on the front line a little south. When I led a team out to investigate, I found that there were several abandoned villages of Han Chinese in the south. It's not so much a village, but it's actually quite large. It should be no problem to squeeze these people a little. And if we don't want to be too crowded, there are a few villages to the east and a few to the southeast, and there is no damage when I go, so we can spread the army there. In short, only when people return alive can they use the solution. Hurry up and decide, those Han people are going to be killed soon! He raised his chin and pointed to Tuoba Shishu in the direction where the Han armies on the east and west were killed.

"Alas, this time it may be in vain again." Tuoba Shishu pretended to sigh, peeked at the leaders on both sides with his eyes, and then continued: "How can the Khan be confused at this time? Now retreat, our losses will definitely be not small. ”

At this time, he took a step forward and said, "Tuoba Shishu, you first lead the army to break through to the north, and leave me two thousand men, and I will cut off the rear for you." ”

"You can't, when I set out on the expedition, the Khan clearly told me that he would bring you back alive no matter what. You can't do this post-mortem work, where is the leader of the slave Yabi? Tuoba Shi Shu pulled him back, and then said to the leader in front of him.

"Lord Tuoba, I'm here, please tell me something." The leader of the Nuya Bibu hurriedly brought the horse to Tuoba Shishu, and said after immediately giving a deep salute to Tuoba Shishu.

"You take your own men and horses as a cover for the army behind your palace to break through to the north. If it is a critical time, you can choose to break through in the south, after all, once the army marches north, those Han troops will move their heavy troops to the north, and then the originally thick defense line in the south will become relatively fragile, and it will be safer for you to break through from there at that time. Tuoba Shishu took the hand of the leader of the slave Yabi tribe and said to him eagerly.

"Lord-sama, please rest assured. Those Han people can't help us, the work of the queen will be handed over to our slave Yabi to do, you can rest assured that you can follow the army and start quickly. After the leader of the Nuya Bibu nodded, he urged Tuoba Shishu to say.

"Tell the whole army to abandon all tents and other supplies, and only carry the horses to the north, immediately!" After Tuoba Shi Shu finished speaking, he fled north with the remnants of the army with Philosher.

"Chief of Staff, the Turks outside the city did not return to the camp to put out the fire. Instead, he set off directly and fled north. The military owl, who had been observing in the city, walked into the headquarters and said to Zhuang Fudi.

"Just order the army to chase them from afar, if you really want to fight, you can constantly harass the rear of the Turkic army, but remember not to fall in love with the war, and retreat with a small victory." Zhuang Fudi said to the military lord without raising his head, and at the same time muttered in a low voice: "These grassland barbarians don't know how to leave an army as the queen of the death squad." If you retreat with a large army like this, how many people can escape back? ”

The military lord originally turned around and was about to leave the headquarters, but after hearing Zhuang Fudi's words to himself, he remembered what he saw, turned to Zhuang Fudi and continued: "Report to the chief of staff, the Turks did leave a force of more than 2,000 people as the rear of the palace. Now it has been surrounded by the army led by Li Daren and General Zong. ”

When Zhuang Fudi heard this, he stood up with his eyes shining and said to the military lord: "Order all the troops to give up the pursuit of the Turkic army fleeing north, and concentrate my forces to annihilate all the troops behind this palace." After annihilating them all, you can steadily move towards the front line. Our command post will also be moved to the front line, ready for a decisive battle with the Turks. ”

With Zhuang Fudi's order, tens of thousands of Han Chinese troops who surrounded the Turkic army from the outside pounced like wolves. At that time, the army of the slave Yabi tribe who remained behind the palace was swallowed up with all the flesh and bones, and the leader of the slave Yabi tribe was also cut into several sections in the chaotic army array, and then the army marched towards the front line with the aftermath of victory.
