Chapter 1048 Farewell, Tuoba Liwei
"Khan, there is no hope of recapturing the Yinshan Pass, let's retreat east from the desert to Mobei."
Sima Yi persuaded him bitterly, and his tone was full of bitterness and helplessness.
Tuoba Li gritted his teeth slightly for a long time, and finally could only sigh helplessly, shouting: "Retreat, the whole army retreats east~~"
At the moment, Tuoba Liwei could only lead his defeated army and flee eastward.
At the same time, Tuoba Liwei sent people to the south, informing the soldiers and civilians who had escaped from Eagle City and were fleeing to the Yin Mountain Pass, driving their cattle and sheep, and taking their belongings, to meet in the east immediately, and flee across the desert to Mobei.
The Xianbei people fled wildly, Zhang Liao chased after him, chased him twenty miles away, and killed nearly 10,000 enemies before stopping.
When Zhang Liao led his 4,000 victorious cavalry back to Yinshan Pass, Su Zhe had already led 100,000 iron cavalry to rush over.
The iron horses are rolling, overwhelming, and the dust covers the sky.
Every soldier is murderous and comes with the belief that they will be killed.
When they arrived at the Yinshan Pass, they were surprised to find that none of the Xianbei people had fled, only corpses were left everywhere.
The soldiers of the Wei army, who were attacking by surprise, were strolling in the field, cleaning the battlefield and clearing the spoils.
"Did Zhang Wenyuan actually win a big battle?" Su Zhe restrained his horse and looked at the battlefield happily.
A moment later, Zhang Liao rushed to meet the saint.
As soon as they met, Zhang Liao arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is fortunate not to be dishonored, and he has guarded the Yinshan Pass for His Majesty!" ”
Su Zhe laughed, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Wen Yuan, you not only defended the Yin Mountain Pass, but also defeated Tuoba Liwei, you are meritorious!" ”
Zhang Liao said humbly: "If it weren't for Your Majesty taking the Eagle Land, disturbing the enemy's spiritual fighting spirit, and letting Hu Che'er come to report the news and ask the minister to launch a counterattack, the minister would not have been able to defeat Tuoba Liwei." ”
Su Zhe laughed loudly and laughed heartily.
Zhang Liao arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the ministers expect that Tuoba Liwei is cornered, and he will definitely choose to lead his troops to flee from the eastern desert to Mobei, we must take advantage of the fact that they have not yet entered the desert, and try to chase and kill as much as possible." ”
Su Zhe nodded happily, and pointed to the east with the horsewhip: "Pass the order, the whole army will go east, and follow me to chase the Xianbei people!" ”
The order was handed down, and 100,000 Wei army iron cavalry, divided into six routes, chased wildly in the direction of the desert.
The pursuit of the Wei army was too fast, dragging their families and mouths, and how could the Xianbei people, who were reluctant to carry cattle and sheep, escape the pursuit of the Wei army.
Soon, thousands of Xianbei people who had fallen behind were caught up by the Wei army's iron cavalry, and all of them were exterminated, regardless of the army and civilians.
The entire Monan grassland used to be a paradise for the Xianbei people, but now it has become a hell on earth for them.
The Wei army pursued and killed in the wilderness, nearly 1560,000 Xianbei soldiers and civilians were killed and wounded, and nearly 500,000 cattle and sheep were robbed by the Wei army.
The entire grassland was stained with blood, and the corpses left by the Xianbei people were everywhere.
The surviving Xianbei people fled all the way, for two days and two nights, and finally escaped to the edge of the desert.
At this moment, there are less than 40,000 soldiers and horses under Tuoba Liwei's command, and nearly 200,000 Xianbei herdsmen have also been killed, and less than 100,000 remains, and most of the millions of cattle and sheep have also been lost.
In this battle, the Xianbei people can be regarded as suffering a fatal blow, breaking their muscles and bones, and greatly hurting their vitality.
Tuoba Liwei immediately stepped into a sand dune, looked at his remaining subordinates, drove a few cattle and sheep, and silently walked into the sand waterfall, his face twisted with deep unwillingness.
Just a few months ago, he also sat on more than 100,000 Xian Tie Cavalry, trampled the entire Monan Grassland under his feet, and even said that he wanted to go south to compete with Su Zhe for the Central Plains and create a dynasty belonging to their Xianbei people.
He never dreamed that his ambitions would be easily shattered by Su Zhe in a few months.
The Monan grassland was lost, and the soldiers and horses that were damaged before and after were close to 100,000 iron horsemen.
Millions of cattle and sheep fell into the hands of the Wei army, and hundreds of thousands of herdsmen were killed or wounded.
From heaven to hell, completed in just a few months, Tuoba Liwei has experienced such ups and downs, how can he be calm.
"Could it be that I am really out of measure and against the will of heaven when I go against that thief?"
Tuobali looked up at the sky slightly, there had never been a moment in his life, and he had unprecedented doubts about what he had done.
"The Khan doesn't have to be discouraged, it's man-made, the Khan still has Mobei, and he hasn't lost yet."
Sima Yi on the side, but he still had no loss of confidence, and he was cheering for Tuobali.
"Zhongda, do you really think that there is still hope for Ben Khan?" Tuobali seemed to see a glimmer of light in his eyes.
"Please believe that Da Xianbei will have a chance." Sima Yi replied solemnly.
Tuobali breathed a sigh of relief, and a trace of arrogance barely ignited on his face, and said: "Ben Khan believes your words, go, let's go to Mobei, regroup, and he will fight with the Su thief again one day!" ”
Tuoba Liwei sighed no more, and turned his horse towards the depths of the desert.
Sima Yi did not leave with Tuoba Liwei on the grounds of staying and waiting for his family.
Looking at Tuobali's slightly distant figure, the corners of Sima Yi's mouth swept up with a hint of sarcasm, and he snorted coldly: "You are inferior to Liu Bei, Liu Bei can't fight with Su Thief, do you think you still have a chance." ”
"Uncle, what should we do now, are we really going to Mobei?" Sima Wang asked.
Sima Yi snorted coldly: "The destruction of Tuoba Liwei and the Xianbei people is a foregone conclusion, how can Uncle Wei take our Sima family to the funeral for their group of Hu people!" ”
"What does that uncle mean ......"
"Don't move for the time being, and after dark, quietly break away from the Xianbei people and move the clan to the east."
"To the east, where to go?"
"Goguryeo!"
……
Ten days later.
The northern edge of the desert.
Riding his horse up to the last sand dune, Tuobali's slightly battered face finally showed a smile of relief.
The desert has come to an end, and the vast grassland lies ahead, and the Mobei grassland has finally arrived.
Tuobali glanced back behind him, his tired soldiers and civilians were silently moving forward in the desert, and there was no end in sight to the team.
In the past ten days, I don't know how many people have been scattered, and I don't know how many cattle and sheep have died of thirst in the desert, which is another aggravation for them who have suffered heavy losses.
Tuoba Liwei was not discouraged and felt sorry for himself, he was already imagining a beautiful blueprint for his comeback.
"What about Sima Zhongda? Why haven't you seen him all this time? Tuoba Liwei then remembered that in the past ten days, he had not seen Sima Yi.
The aristocratic generals on the left and right looked around blankly, not knowing where Sima Yi had gone.
Suddenly, one of them said: "Returning to the Khan, I seem to see that Sima Yi took his whole clan to the east that night, and did not enter the desert at all. ”
"What!" Tuobali's face changed slightly.
