Chapter 1010: Conspiracy
Tuobali's heart was slightly shocked, and when he looked up, he suddenly saw a sharp arrow, which was actually heading towards him.
The trajectory of the crossbow arrow was so close that he had no chance to dodge by lying on his stomach, so he had to abandon his mount and jump off the ground.
In the next moment, the crossbow arrow struck, piercing the neck of the war horse, and the poor beast let out a terrible neigh, and its huge body fell towards Tuobali.
Tuoba Li was slightly panicked, and hurriedly used his hands and feet at the same time, and crawled backwards.
Bang!
The dead horse crashed to the ground, and it was only a fraction of a minute away that it nearly hit his body.
Almost at the same time, there were screams of the same people around him, and several more soldiers were shot by crossbow arrows and pinned to the ground.
There were even three soldiers who were directly pierced by crossbow arrows and pierced into meat skewers, and their deaths were strange and terrifying.
In the Xianbei army, there were bursts of frightened shouts, and everyone subconsciously turned their horses back, wanting to escape from the range of the Wei army's arrows, for fear that if they shot from a long distance again, they would become the unlucky one.
"Khan, the range of this crossbow is too long, we can't stay here any longer, we have to withdraw from the range as soon as possible." Sima Yi leaned on his horse and yelled at him.
Tuobali gritted his teeth slightly, shocked and angry, and the word "unwilling" burned on his face.
Thinking that his army of more than 100,000 was coming, he originally wanted to approach Yunzhong City and declare his military strength to the Wei army, so as to show off his strength and severely damage the morale of the Wei army.
Unexpectedly, he did not show off his strength, but he was dismounted by the Wei army's bed crossbow, and even the king of the east was shot, and the morale of the army was seriously frustrated, and it was simply a loss of face.
Tuoba Li was slightly unwilling, but he was helpless, looking at the tragic picture of He Bazhu, he was afraid that if the Wei army had another round of long-range shooting, he would become the unlucky one.
"Retreat, the whole army retreats a thousand steps back and encamps!"
Tuoba Li didn't have time to think about it, jumped on a war horse, shouted and pulled the horse away.
The Khan was instigated, where did the Xianbei cavalry still have the courage to hold on to the death again, they turned their horses and fled, only afraid that if they were half a step slower, the terrifying arrows of the Wei army would attack again.
Woo woo ~ ~
The sound of breaking the wind rose again, and the crossbow arrows of the Wei army really attacked again.
With a miserable howl, more than a dozen soldiers, including men and horses, were tied into meat skewers and nailed to the ground.
Finally, after a wild run, the Xianbei people finally escaped within a thousand steps.
Tuoba Li was slightly afraid of being unsafe, so he simply fled more than 1,300 steps in one go, and it was not until Sima Yi stopped him and told him that the Wei army's crossbow arrows could not shoot farther, and he reined in his war horse.
Tuoba Li looked back slightly, only to see another round of crossbow arrows from the Wei army, and sure enough, it stopped at the range of a thousand steps, and failed to hurt the soldiers who retreated to a thousand steps away.
Finally safe, Tuobali was slightly relieved, glad that he had escaped.
Tuoba Licice regained his overlord bearing, looked back at Cloud City, his face burned with deep anger, and shouted: "Pass the order, the army will go down the city in a thousand steps, and besiege Cloud City to death for Ben Khan!" ”
Tuoba Li was slightly angry, but he was deeply jealous of the Wei army's bed crossbow, and did not dare to force the city to go down again, so he could only go down to the village a thousand steps away.
Cloudsdale.
The soldiers of the Wei army were already cheering, shouting at the retreating Xianbei people, showing off their might.
"This bed crossbow invented by Your Majesty is really amazing, and it can easily hit the morale of the Xianbei people." Zhang He, who witnessed the power of the bed crossbow for the first time, was amazed and amazed by the powerful crossbow machine next to him.
Zhang Ren said with a smile: "That's natural, the shield cavalry of the Ma family has seen it, this crossbow can even shoot through the silver shield of the shield cavalry!" ”
"Really!?" Zhang He was taken aback and couldn't help but gasp.
Just as Zhang He sighed and exclaimed, a black shadow in front of him shot into the city like a gale, and a person shouted: "Two generals Zhang, I'm Hu Che'er, let me enter the city quickly." ”
The two looked at it closely, and the person who came was indeed Hu Che'er.
"Isn't Hu Che'er following His Majesty to the west to conquer Shuofang, why did he come back again?" Zhang Ren and Zhang He glanced at each other, and the two hurriedly called for the city gate to be opened and the car to enter the city.
The city gate opened, and a moment later, Hu Che'er ascended to the top of the city like a gust of wind.
"Why did General Hu come to Yunzhong City, could it be that Your Majesty received an urgent report from us, gave up the crusade against the Huns, and planned to return to the army to deal with the Xianbei people?" Zhang Ren asked guessingly.
Hu Che'er sneered: "Then you don't know our Majesty's temperament, if he wants to destroy the Huns, how can he give up halfway." ”
"Then you're ...... again," Zhang He's eyes were suspicious.
"Don't worry, I'm coming back to deliver a message to you, Your Majesty has sent Zhang Xiu to lead five thousand elite cavalry back to help, and it will arrive tomorrow morning at the latest." Hu Che'er said with a smile.
Five thousand?
Erzhang frowned slightly, and seemed to be a little disappointed with this number.
Zhang Ren pointed to the outside of the city and said: "There are 150,000 Xianbei iron cavalry outside, and His Majesty only sent 5,000 cavalry back to help, which seems to be a little less." ”
"Five thousand is not small, in addition to bringing back five thousand cavalry, there is also this secret decree given to you by His Majesty, you will know it after you have seen it." Hu Che'er said and took out a secret decree and handed it to the second general.
Zhang Ren and Zhang He hurriedly took it over, opened it and examined it carefully, and then, their eyes lit up, and a trace of joy and relief appeared between their eyebrows.
"Your Majesty's plan is really wonderful, and you will be able to deceive that Tuoba Liwei!" Zhang Ren smiled convincingly.
Zhang He also nodded and said: "With this strategy, we can sit back and relax, and we don't dare to be presumptuous." ”
Hu Che'er laughed: "I brought this letter, it's not easy to come all the way, and the stomach is still hungry, don't the two generals have any ideas?" ”
"Let's go downtown, go down to the city and drink, good wine and good meat are full."
"Then you're welcome, haha~~"
The three of them talked and laughed, hooked their shoulders and went down to the city.
The Wei army inside the city was drinking wine and eating meat, and the Xianbei people outside the city were busy with the hot tide and besieged the city.
Within half a day's effort, the two large camps were set up in the direction of the north and east gates of Cloud City.
Tuoba Liwei told the soldiers to rest for the time being, and then continue to camp the next day, and set up camp at the second gate in the southwest to block the contact between Yunzhong City and the outside world.
The unexpected happened.
The next day, before dawn, Tuoba Liwei received an urgent report from the scout, claiming that in the west direction of Cloud City, dust and mist were rolling in, and it seemed that a large army was rushing towards him.
Tuoba Li was slightly taken aback, and hurriedly climbed the arrow tower and looked at it from a distance.
Soon, in the faint morning light, he saw the dust billowing from the west, covering the sky and the sun, and the momentum was immense, and it was clear that an army of tens of thousands was approaching.
Tuoba Li's face was slightly gloomy, and he muttered in surprise: "Could it be that Su Zhe actually gave up on destroying the Huns, and actually wanted to return to the division to fight with me?" ”
