The men and horses of Baywusun are all here in Tuoba Jiuxing. He and Tuoba Jiuxing were already one glory and one loss, and they went through hardships, and finally crawled back with a rolling belt, their bodies were extremely overdrawn, and they were half unconscious and half awake, and blood was pouring out of their mouths and noses. In the shouts of Duan Hanzhang and Tuoba Jiuxing, he opened his eyes and shouted with all his strength: "Little Wangye." Bao Lan's back was full of soldiers, and dozens of miles were stationed, and they stopped there and didn't come up, they were lying to us, they were lying to us. Let's get out of here. ”

Tuoba Jiuxing's face showed a little surprise.

Remove?

There are already more than 100,000 troops of Chen State near Gaonu, and there are more than 100,000 behind him.

Doesn't retreat mean defeat?

The high slaves who had hoarded a large amount of military resources were occupied by the Eastern Xia, and tens of thousands of troops on the Eastern Front faced a lack of food and clothing.

Tuoba Jiuxing couldn't help but look at Duan Hanzhang.

Duan Hanzhang had lost his face, his fingers were trembling, but he was still questioning: "Why is there no news?" With so many people stationed behind Bao Lan, why didn't there be any rumors? When did this start? Isn't Diao a hero and entered the Hanhai? ”

Bayi Usun shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.

Tuoba Jiuxing instructed Baya: "Hurry up and take Bayi Wusun Qianhu to rest." ”

Waiting for Baya to help Bayi Wusun go down, Tuoba Jiuxing walked around impatiently, he looked at Duan Hanzhang and sneered: "Dongxia is dying. How many people did he think he could come up with? If he presses the capital of the Eastern Xia Kingdom on top, he will definitely be able to win? No. It's fake, it's got to be fake. Does he think that our Tuoba descendants are all scared away? Can he still have an army of more than 300,000? ”

How many people were there in the Eastern Xia Kingdom? Tuoba Jiuxing didn't know, and Duan Hanzhang didn't know either.

Duan Hanzhang reminded: "You go and tell Tuoba Xiaopet, it doesn't make any sense for us to measure it here." Tuoba Jiuxing wanted to say something, but she had already pushed it from the side. Tuoba Jiuxing strode out. Duan Hanzhang kept sending him out of the tent and walked a hundred steps...... The two eyes rolled and said, "Only we know this news." You have to keep an eye on it, it's best to let Tuoba Owl pet yourself and go back overnight, we have to be prepared. ”

Tuoba Jiuxing wanted to ask her how to respond, but the words came to his mouth, but he swallowed it again, not that he didn't want to ask, but he came out, there were soldiers on both sides, and the news could not be easily heard.

Halfway through, he bumped into Tuoba's pet.

Tuoba Owl Pet came to him, and said excitedly: "The sky is already clear, and the ground can already march in the afternoon, my Abba sent someone to say that our army is all up, and the defeat of the Dongxia army will be tonight, and we want to cooperate with the attack." ”

He and Tuoba Jiuxing are brothers, and they are very casual with each other, and when they unexpectedly found that Tuoba Jiuxing was hesitating, they smashed him with his arm and asked him, "What's wrong with you?" ”

What can happen to Tuoba Jiuxing?

All that Tuoba Xiaopet said came up, referring to the hundreds of thousands of troops in Dongliang City, in this way, the entire army of more than 300,000 and Dongxia is about to fight, and Dongxia has 100,000 or 200,000 soldiers in Baolan, do you need to make a fuss? He said slowly: "The people I sent to Baolan braved the heavy rain to come back, saying that behind Baolan City was all the Eastern Xia army. I'm afraid that Uncle Heiyun doesn't know, and I originally wanted to tell you specifically. ”

After all, Tuoba Xiaopet stayed by Tuoba Heiyun's side, looking at the overall situation, and was immediately taken aback: "What did you say?" He dragged Tuoba Jiuxing and asked, "Walking back in the rain?" This was at least a few days ago, a few days ago, Bao Lan had an army of Eastern Xia? How is this possible? It shouldn't be. According to the number of his army, almost the two states of Dingxia have been exhausted, what? Can Diaxiao and Goshawk Bo Dalu still command the army in the east? ”

He had a sense of foreboding, turned his head and ran behind him. He ran, and Tuoba Jiuxing followed him at a gallop.

Tuoba Owl Pet found a war horse, jumped up, Tuoba Jiuxing how to let him go like this, it was already dark, this road and the Dongxia army dogs and teeth intertwined, in case there is a three long and two short, how to explain to the commander Tuoba Heiyun in the future, immediately went up to hold his reins and said: "Owl pet." It's already dark. I'll send someone else. Let the army escort, you stay, and join me in attacking in the opposite direction to attract the attention of Dongxia. ”

In order to forcibly keep Tuoba's pet, he shouted, "Yingluck." You take someone and go to join the Chinese army, and tell the prince of Tuoba Heiyun that there is an army hiding in Baolan City, let him be careful. ”

After a group of more than 100 horsemen galloped away, Tuoba Jiuxing sent a herald to gather the army, and Tuoba Xiao's pet stopped. He was dissatisfied with Tuoba Jiuxing's dispatch of heralds, and with his military qualities, he felt that as a general, he should pay attention to the dryness and wetness of the grass at any time, and once he could march, he should assemble the army in advance and prepare. He couldn't guess Tuoba Jiuxing, the reason why Tuoba Jiuxing didn't move was to grind more, but Bayi Wusun came back unexpectedly, which made him a little in a hurry.

Why did he blurt out that he was marching in the opposite direction, he didn't understand it himself, Tuoba was quiet, but his heart sank.

If Dongxia and Chen Guo win or lose in five or five, they will be evenly matched, and the war will be fought for many days, and he, a lone army, will go in the opposite direction, it is not a life to die.

The words have been spoken, what should I do?

The army gathered with torches, and the firelight had already illuminated the town and outside the town, Tuoba Jiuxing didn't care what he said to Tuoba Xiaopet to attract the attention of Dongxia, just trying to converge with the Chinese army, but he led the troops straight to the direction of Tuoba Heiyun's army, hoping to meet with hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops.

Tuoba Xiaopet will not question his words and deeds because he threw out a sentence, and he did not interfere with his response to the Chinese army. The two led the army all the way forward, but found that they rarely encountered the Dongxia army, and they only encountered a small unit, and they blindly fled when they met, and there was a town a few miles away, and there were no heavy troops stationed in Dongxia, and Tuoba Jiuxing was a little dizzy when he killed it, he was sure that this was a trap, and Dongxia was not so weak that he would give up the town without fighting.

He went to find Tuoba Owl Pet, Tuoba Owl Pet was also a little puzzled, the two of them discussed, and decided to let the soldiers rest, and first send rangers to investigate in all directions.

In the second half of the night, an army of two or three thousand people came out open, and when they came to see it, it was their own people, and the generals led by them had seen Tuoba Jiuxing and Tuoba Xiaopet, so they answered their questions: "Our army has been inserted, and it is approaching Gaonu, and their troops are concentrated in defending the city and assisting ......" He also introduced the situation and said: "Our army has an absolute advantage in numbers, and Marshal Heiyun led tens of thousands of people to besiege the king of Dongxia's Adi Axiao." He is half the pillar of the Eastern Xia Kingdom, as long as he is destroyed, the Eastern Xia will be defeated or peaceful. ”

The general also held a handwritten book in his hand, so that he could join Tuoba Jiuxing and Tuoba Xiaopet, and turn around to copy Di Axiao's back road together, everyone was excited, and immediately regrouped the soldiers and horses, and marched to the northeast while the night, and ran all the way for twenty or thirty miles, encountering a Dongxia army.

Although they were all carrying torches, Tuoba Jiuxing's army knew that they were facing the enemy, while the Dongxia on the opposite side did not know, and sent people to ask which army it was.

In this case, Tuoba Jiuxing has an absolute advantage, especially since he has more people than the other party.

As soon as he gave the order, the army divided into several groups and rushed towards this Eastern Xia army. This Eastern Xia army was caught off guard and suffered a big loss, but unlike the other small Eastern Xia troops encountered tonight, it stubbornly fought with them, and constantly contacted their own families and horses with one horn after another.

Tuoba Jiuxing is very relieved.

If the Black Cloud Princes are besieging Di Axiao, who can come to their aid?

He loudly encouraged the people around him and said: "Marshal Heiyun has besieged Dongxia Di Axiao, and all the sons and daughters will annihilate this stubborn enemy with me. ”

Facing the Dongxia army, he also surrendered like this: "Our Marshal Heiyun has led an army of 500,000 to surround Dongxia Di Axiao, if you don't surrender, you will burn with him." ”

The Eastern Xia army did suffer some impact, but the counterattack was more violent. They seemed to prefer to fight in the field, and the torches that had been lit disappeared with the fierce battle between the two sides, and the firelight was concentrated on Tuoba Jiuxing's side, and the other party took the opportunity to shoot arrows, causing considerable casualties to Tuoba Jiuxing...... Tuoba Jiuxing also hurriedly learned from the other party and let his team extinguish the torches, but in addition to protecting the baggage and the old and weak army, most of the troops pulled out and encircled each other, the generals and soldiers were scattered, the orders were not in place, and they would not spontaneously extinguish the torches, and in a moment, the other party reversed the situation, and a few brave Dongxia cavalry actually took advantage of the momentum and approached him.

After a few flashes of sparks, he knew that the bodies of several loyal and brave people around him had sunk and fallen from their horses.

His heart was on fire, but fear prevailed, and he turned around and left.

In the dark night, a man howled, and from a distance, he was seen waving his twin guns and shouting at himself: "Hedong Fan is all here, can the enemy general dare to fight with me?" ”

Of course, Tuoba Jiuxing would not turn around and fight him, but galloped out and let the warriors replenish themselves to fight in, and as soon as he looked up, he heard the horn of the rear army.

Then he knew that a small Dongxia army had outflanked him and attacked his old and weak and baggage. He was taken aback, and hurriedly led people up, went up to kill and retreat the enemy, and when he turned back, the situation on the battlefield was not good, and the Dongxia side had completely reversed the situation.

He cherished the army in his hand, he was unwilling to work hard, for fear of too many casualties, while calling the army to retreat, while leading the troops to cut off the entanglement of Dongxia, and then retreated.

The other side did not pursue either.

After withdrawing for several miles, he found a forest and got in, and Tuoba caught up with him and asked in disbelief: "Brother Jiuxing, how can you say that you will withdraw?" ”

Tuoba Jiuxing pretended to be profound: "We just withdrew, but we didn't leave, just stay here, send some rangers over, and be more familiar with the enemy's situation, and then we will kill back." ”

If that's the case, it's cunning.

Tuoba Owl also thought it was good, praised him twice, and the two ordered the army to rest for a while, and sent rangers to investigate.

When the sky was bright, only one of the rangers touched it back, and there was an arrow in his shoulder, and as soon as he came back, he dismounted his horse and said in fear: "Two little kings." The prairie is full of cowhide bags. The soldiers we attacked were looking at the cow leather bag......" Tuoba Jiuxing's expression changed, and he asked rhetorically: "Cow leather bag?" ”

He turned his head and asked Tuoba Owl Pet, "How can there be so many cowhide bags?" ”

Tuoba Xiaopet's face turned pale, and he said vaguely: "Soldiers are tied." The soldiers of Eastern Xia were bundled. He lifted the Ranger and exclaimed, "Do you see clearly?" How many can there be? ”

The Ranger pleaded hard, "It's not dawn yet, I can't see how many." Anyway, they're all lined up next to each other, neatly ......."

The sound of horns on all sides.

Tuoba Jiuxing was frightened, afraid of being surrounded, and eager to retreat, but before he could say anything, Tuoba said, "Brother." We led people to kill them, and these soldiers were also the military resources of Dongxia, whether it was unloaded by his cavalry or not, we killed them, so that his rear could not be pacified, and the losses were huge. ”

In order to coax him, Tuoba Jiuxing waved his hand and said, "You forgot that Brother Ah has a treasure on him, it's dawn now, you stay here, I'll go up and take a look." ”

He said that he would go, and he took out a flat metal box from the horse's pocket, took out an object, and began to observe, which was that he was afraid that before he arrived, he would meet the Dongxia soldiers, and after looking at it for a while, bypassing several waves of Dongxia soldiers, he came to a suitable observation site, a huge dirt slope at the end of a small river.

Choose here, look to the northeast, is today's battlefield, is also the ranger said that the soldiers are tied up, looking west, there is a river, suitable for camping.

I glanced at the northeast, except for the sporadic Dongxia soldiers sitting around, lighting a pile of green smoke, that is, the soldiers were bundled, the soldiers were bundled, each step was one, each step was one, often not far from the side of a soldier bundle, there would be a large number of carts, flatbed cars...... He felt a chill in his heart, didn't say a word, turned the direction to look, too far to see, but there were no military camps stationed on both sides of the river, and it was right to think about it, it was low-lying, and the weather was just fine, and it was not suitable to be stationed on both sides of the river.

After turning around again, he was taken aback, there was an army in Dongxia, but he didn't know if it was the army he encountered today.

They seemed to have discovered the traces of their own army, and they were showing a momentum of outflanking, and the nearest of them were only thirty or forty cavalry, and one of them turned his head, not knowing if he could see himself, he had already seen himself.

He immediately came down from the slope, and led people to his own men and horses to rest and gallop, arrived, without saying a word, gathered the army and left, he had tens of thousands of troops, how could he be said to go, the front walked, the back waist was beaten, this time the cavalry was braver than the enemy soldiers in the night, and there was more discipline, although there were only a few hundred people, but people should not be underestimated, they penetrated the waist, and followed more than a thousand troops in parallel.

Because the front army set out, the back waist was cut off, and the more than a thousand rear troops did not want to be entangled when they were attacked, so they desperately chased forward, and the army hung in a corner, following them to drive the attack, and after a while, it was an army of several hundred people...... Appearing from the other direction, they went to the front of the road, and they actually cooperated with each other and drove the more than 1,000 troops out of the marching ranks.

Tuoba Xiao was so angry that his intestines exploded, adding up to five or six hundred troops, he dared to attack tens of thousands of people, and he also cut off a piece from the back of the team, chasing them away like a prey, and wanted to eat the men and horses under the nose of the Chinese army, and he wanted to take people to rescue him several times, but he was dragged back by Tuoba Jiuxing.

Tuoba Jiuxing smiled bitterly and said: "Regardless of them, let's go, there are Eastern Xia troops in all directions, and if you take care of them at this time, you will fall into a heavy siege." ”

Tuoba Xiaopet said, "Brother." Don't you have clairvoyance, take it out and see, where is their main force hidden? Don't ...... them It's just that we see through and want to escape. ”

Tuoba Jiuxing asked people to urge the march, and found a slope again, ran up, Tuoba Xiaopet also followed, and the two took turns to observe on the top, but they couldn't find the main force of Dongxia.

The two were silent for a while, and Tuoba Jiuxing was afraid that he would insist on turning back and attacking those hundreds of people, so he took the first step and said, "Withdraw." Although there are no large numbers for the time being, I can see a lot of small troops under my nose, these armies are so scattered, can you say that there is no Dongxia army around? As long as we are entangled in them, the enemy will not immediately be able to see the direction of our withdrawal and intercept in front. ”

Tuoba Xiaopet didn't insist, but asked him about the situation of running to see the soldiers tied up.

Tuoba Jiuxing thought for a while, sighed and said: "In this battle at night, the prince of Heiyun is afraid that he will not be able to take advantage, there are Dongxia soldiers everywhere, all over the mountains, and there are not more than 100,000 horses and horses coming up, but also 50,000 or 60,000. Don't say more, let's go, taking advantage of the difficulty of the Eastern Xia army, we went straight to the cities and villages on the outskirts of Gaonu, and now only there is safety. ”

He came down and urged the army to go back with all his might, while he himself used clairvoyance to observe the enemy's situation everywhere, and when he saw that he was about to penetrate into the urban and rural belts, he saw a Dongxia army coming from west to east, so he had to curse resentfully, and led the army to the east to avoid this Dongxia army......

However, after walking more than ten miles, I saw the army of Eastern Xia coming up from east to west, and the banner of the phalanx was clearly visible.

He was helpless, and fled south like a risk, and as he walked, someone told him: "This is the edge of Gao Nu, and to the east, it is Liu Yu's territory." ”

At this juncture, he didn't dare to despise Liu Yu, so he said: "I don't know if Liu Yu sent troops to cooperate with Dongxia, I remember that there is a town further south, you can station it first, take a little rest, cook, and wait for the situation to be found out before making plans." Facing Tuoba and Tuoba's pet, he said as if to give an explanation: "Send people to the west to liaison, if our army takes the cities and villages around Gaonu, we will flank the Eastern Xia army with them...... You tell me? ”

Tuoba Xiaopet looked sluggish, and said: "The Eastern Xia soldiers will go from west to east for a while, and from east to west for a while, what are you going to do?" Disrupted? All disrupted on both sides? ”
