In the blink of an eye, the canyon was covered with broken arms and branches, and blood and internal organs were flying everywhere. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

One by one, the Houyan people were smashed by rolling wood and stones, and the corpses were lying on the ground and trampled back and forth by the war horses, and the whole valley was like a Senluo hell.

The well-trained Houyan people, under the appeasement of the main general Zhang Chong, gradually stabilized their position.

The foot soldiers were surrounded by shields to cover the archers from counterattacking upwards.

Zhang Chong hid behind the shield, thought about it carefully, and felt that it was not possible to go on like this, and he had to rush out of the canyon immediately to survive.

He immediately shouted: "Where is the adjutant general? ”

I saw a blood-stained general come out, clenched his fists and said, "The end will be." ”

"Do you see the mountains on the left? It was garrisoned by the Western Yan, who attacked weakly. ”

"Ben will order you to take three hundred elites to attack the mountains here, and you must seize the commanding heights, otherwise you will come to see you."

"No, the last general will take the order, and if he can't take the ridge, the last general is willing to die to revenge."

After the adjutant general made a military order, he personally selected 300 elites, and regardless of the arrows and rolling stones that fell from the head, he desperately rushed up from the not too steep hillside on one side.

In order to cover the lieutenant general, Zhang Chong personally supervised the battle with his sword and organized archers to shoot arrows up to cover.

Although the rocks on the mountain were like rain, the arrows were like flying locusts, and the Houyan people who climbed the slope were killed and wounded, no one dared to take a step back.

It is said that Xiyan and Houyan were both built by Xianbei, but the performance of the armies of the two countries is completely different.

Unlike the weak Western Yan people, the Hou Yan people are really fierce.

Especially the three hundred elite dead soldiers, everyone wielded and slashed around with long knives, and none of the soldiers of Chaoxi Yan were killed one by one.

After some bloody fighting, the Houyan people finally broke through the Western Yan Front, which had a relatively weak defensive force.

In the fierce fighting, more than 160 people were killed and wounded by the 300 elites, and more than 120 people finally climbed the mountain.

Seeing that the Xiyan people were gradually unable to block the impact of Houyan, Wang Zhenwei had no choice but to order Gao Jinzhi and Xue Tong to bring 200 people each to support.

As soon as the Hexi Army joined the battle group, the offensive of the originally fierce Houyan Army suddenly stalled.

Seeing that the various units had surrounded the enemy, Wang Zhen immediately issued an order for a general attack.

After more than an hour, the coalition forces finally wiped out Zhang Chong's troops, among which Kuai En and Gao Jinzhi killed Zhang Chong and his lieutenant generals respectively.

Seeing that the enemy had been destroyed, Wang Zhenwei decisively ordered a retreat, and in an instant, the hill that was originally full of allied soldiers was completely withdrawn.

The valley, which had been noisy and restless just now, suddenly calmed down, leaving only a mess all over the ground, with armor, arrows, shields, broadswords, spears and other weapons scattered everywhere, blood scattered all over the valley, and human stumps and internal organs hanging on the branches.

When the Hexi Army first entered the land of Sanjin, although it won two battles and two victories, destroying more than 13,000 enemies, it could not play a decisive role in the entire battle situation.

After the war, although Murong You repeatedly asked Murong Yong for his life, he asked to transfer the Hexi Army south to participate in the war.

However, because Murong Yong was suspicious, he still did not completely let down his guard against Hexi, and the Jinyang crisis had been resolved, which made the situation slightly ease, so he rejected Murong Yong's friendship and only ordered Hexi reinforcements to temporarily stay in Jinyang and wait for the next instructions.

……

The victory of the Battle of Jinyang came to an end, and the news of the Hexi Army's entry into the Jin Dynasty to participate in the war spread all over the world.

Originally, Yao Chang thought that this was a great opportunity for Later Qin to raid Hexi, but this proposal was strongly opposed by Yin Wei.

"Your Majesty, on the battlefield in Hedong, there are only more than 10,000 Hexi troops in full battle."

"Compared with the powerful Hexi, this amount of troops is nothing at all, and it is far from affecting the security of the border in Hexi."

"There is no need to even mobilize other troops, just the Longyou garrison, which is enough for us to have a headache."

"Not to mention that without the support of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Great Qin alone will not be able to shake Hexi at all."

"In that case, why don't we join forces with the Northern Wei Dynasty to send troops together?"

"United Northern Wei? Hmph, if the minister's expectation is right, Tuoba Jue will definitely not agree to a sneak attack on Hexi at this time. ”

"Oh? Why is that? ”

"Then Tuoba Jue doesn't have a blood feud with Wei Shuo, how can he give up the opportunity in front of him?"

"Your Majesty doesn't know that for the Northern Wei Dynasty, it is far more important to keep Xiyan and prevent Houyan from annexing the land of the Three Jin Dynasty than to attack Hexi."

"Does the servant shoot mean that Tuoba Jue is worried that after Murong Chui destroys Western Yan, he will pose too much threat to the Northern Wei Dynasty?"

"This is natural, in fact, from the perspective of Hou Qin, it is far safer to be a neighbor with Murong Yong than to deal with Murong Chui."

After being reminded by Yin Wei, Yao Chang remembered that he only thought about attacking Hexi, but he forgot about the fierce tiger Murong Chui.

If you really want Murong Chui to occupy Hedong, who dares to guarantee that Houyan will not take advantage of the situation to enter the Guanzhong in the west?

"Oh, thanks to Aiqing's reminder, otherwise I would have almost missed a big event."

I have to say that Yin Wei guessed correctly, Tuoba Jue did not have the intention of sneaking into Hexi, and now all his energy is attracted by the changes in Hedong.

Through last year's attack on the Gaoche tribes, all the steppe tribes south of the Gobi surrendered to the Northern Wei Dynasty.

At this point, Tuoba Jue had defeated the strong neighbors of the steppe, greatly increased the national strength of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and became one of the most powerful regimes in the north, with the conditions to enter the Central Plains.

Tuoba knew that if he wanted to realize his dream of becoming the ruler of the Central Plains, he had to defeat Murong Chui and annex Houyan.

In the past, Yan was strong and Wei was weak, and the domestic situation was unstable at the beginning of the Tuoba clan's restoration, with frequent civil strife, and at the same time, there were strong enemies on all sides.

In addition, the two countries are worldly marriage states, so no matter what the considerations, Tuoba can only choose to be friendly with Houyan.

Recently, however, when the Northern Wei Dynasty lifted the threat from behind, the Later Yan had gradually transformed from an ally into a stumbling block to the further strength of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

With the growing strength of the country, the ambitious Tuoba Jue is unwilling to continue to submit to Houyan, and even has the heart to destroy Yan.

At the same time, Murong Chui also became jealous of the increasingly powerful Northern Wei Dynasty.

Although he had no intention of swallowing Wei, he still wanted to continue to control the Northern Wei Dynasty and make it a subordinate of the Later Yan Dynasty.

Now because the balance of power between the two sides has changed, the relationship between the two sides has become very delicate.

This time, Hou Yan suddenly sent troops to attack Western Yan, and he did not reveal the slightest to the Northern Wei in advance.

It wasn't until the outbreak of the war that Tuoba knew that the Houyan army had crossed the Taihang Mountain.

Forced by the name of the Wei-Yan Alliance, it was not easy for Tuoba to directly send troops to support Xiyan.

Therefore, he ordered the general Tuoba Qian to lead a large army into Pingcheng and slowly approached the border of Wei Yan in order to relieve the pressure on Western Yan.

It's just that Tuoba obviously underestimated Murong Chui's strength, first Jinyang was besieged, and then several counties in the north fell.

The rapid deterioration of the situation in the state made Tuoba anxious.

Just as Tuoba Jue was considering whether to break the alliance with Yan and send troops to save Yan, the news of the Hexi Army's large-scale entry into Jin suddenly came.

Knowing that Hexi had intervened in the war in the state, Tuoba Jue was relieved at once.

He had fought with Wei Shuo and knew that the Hexi army was powerful, so he naturally no longer worried about the situation in Xiyan.

As he expected, the Hexi Army quickly stabilized the situation in Bingzhou.

Just as Tuoba Jue continued to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, some generals and ministers of the Northern Wei Dynasty wrote letters one after another, asking for a sneak attack on Hexi.

Among them, the clan Tuoba Lie was the most active, because of the death of his brother, he hated Hexi to the core, and insisted on taking advantage of Hexi to attack Shuofang when Hexi was deep in Hedong.

Tuoba Lie's proposal was supported by some of the important ministers of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and everyone believed that it was an excellent opportunity to severely damage Hexi.

Fortunately, the Northern Wei Dynasty was not all short-sighted, and Xi Jin, Zhang Yan, Yan Feng, Xu Qian and others did not agree with this proposal.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what is the benefit of raiding Hexi at this time, in addition to letting Murong sit and reap the benefits?"

Facing Zhang Yan's questioning, Tuoba Lie was not to be outdone: "Why is there no benefit? The Northern Wei Dynasty just recaptured Shuofang! ”

"How dare the general boast that he will definitely be able to capture Shuofang?"

"It must be known that at present, the troops sent by Hexi to Bingzhou are only more than 10,000 people, and not a single soldier has been mobilized from the Shuofang garrison."

"Coupled with Li Wei and Cui Hao, who dares to guarantee that the raid will be successful?"

"Humph! It's not enough to just talk about it, but if you don't try it, how do you know that you can't beat Shuo Fang? ”

Seeing that Tuoba Lie was so stubborn, Zhang Yan suddenly felt a headache.

Tuoba Lie is a member of the clan, with a noble status and great power, he is a Han civil servant, even if he has Tuoba Jue's support behind him, it is not good to offend the other party too much.

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and said earnestly: "General, Yan knows that you hate the people of Hexi, and you can't wait to kill Guzang now." ”

"But you can't be emotional when considering the problem, and at the moment Hexi rescued Xiyan, in terms of interests, it is consistent with the Northern Wei Dynasty."

"In this case, not only should we not pull them back, but we should also support them openly and covertly."

"It's better to let Hexi and Houyan fight a lose-lose situation, so that we can reap the benefits."

"Well, Hong Long's words won my heart."

"Passing on the widow's order: No one shall give orders, and no one shall transfer a soldier to Shuofang without permission.
