Sichuan soldier Junyi, Huangxu led the Yan State to conquer the capital of Murong Li heard that Pei County was captured by the Jin army, three thousand defenders were exhausted, and the Jin army also had heavy cavalry equipped with armor and cavalry, which made Murong Li very surprised, although he had found out that the heavy cavalry of the Jin army was only three thousand, and his 30,000 heavy armored iron cavalry of Dayan could not be compared, but in Henan, only Murong Chen of Luyang and Fu Yan of Xuchang each had two thousand heavy cavalry, and at this time, Yuan Zhendu's ten thousand people in Shouzhou had captured Qi County and were marching towards Liang County under the order of Huan Wen. Will open the stone gate to pass the transport, Huan Wen personally led the elite division, like a bamboo, has captured Wanqiu, is approaching Xuchang, Murong Chen, Fu Yan is too busy to take care of themselves, naturally can not gallop to the Yellow Ruins, and Murong Li rushed across the river this time, only led 10,000 foot soldiers and light cavalry, obviously unable to be the enemy with the 60,000 Jin army with heavy cavalry, so Murong Li learned that Pei County was lost, and then urgently asked for help from Handdu

Yan Da Sima Murong Sheng received two requests for reinforcements from Murong Li, and hurriedly reported to the Yan lord Murong Barrier, and the Yan lord summoned the Taifu Murong Ping, Shangshu Ling Yanghu, the emperor Fu Zhen, the Zhongshu waiter Le Song and others to discuss, Le Song suggested asking Qin for help, if Fu Jian was willing to send troops to Huangguan, Huan Wen would suffer the enemy on his back, and the Jin army would be defeated

Taifu Murong commented on this: "But I lost a small Pei County, why am I so panicked!" Murong Xuangong (that is, Murong Ke) attacked Qin last year and returned in vain, but now he asks Qin for help, isn't it humiliating himself! Moreover, Fu Yonggu hates me Dayan Fang Yin because of the prophecy of the god of the Ximen Leopard Temple, I am afraid that he wants to take advantage of Huan Wen's attack on me to invade me and Xihe, how dare I hope that he will help! ”

Shang: "The rebellion of the four Fu of the Qin calendar, tired and sick, and at this time the situation in Yan and Jin is chaotic, how dare Qin dare to move troops without authorization, the old man expects that Fu Yonggu and Wang Jingluo will sit and watch my Dayan and Jin compete, and reap the benefits of the fisherman, today's plan, my Dayan must concentrate superior forces and fight a decisive battle with Huan Wen in Henan." Liwei Heshuo made Qin and Wu Erkou no longer dare to look at my Dayan. ”

Under the edict, Da Sima and King Le'an reduced the mobilization of 200,000 elite soldiers, entered Tun Mengyang, in order to prepare for Huan Wen, and with the heroic commander Xi Luo Teng as the vanguard, led the heavy armor iron cavalry fifty gallop to aid the Murong Li of Danyi, Xi Luo Teng is the first warrior of the Xianbei tribe, more than 20 years old, extremely powerful, can fight lions and tigers with bare hands, brave and peerless. When he was fifteen years old, he pacified Duan Liao with Murong Ke and Murong Chui brothers, and won every battle to deter Zhu Hu Yi

Xi Luo Teng led the troops day and night, March 23 Bingyin arrived at the north bank of the Yellow River in Yuanwu County, from Henan came to the news, the Jin army Huan Xi, Chen Caozhi led more than 40,000 people have approached the Yellow Ruins, Xi Luo Teng is not in a hurry, Danyi, Huangxu Murong Li, Murong Zhu also have nearly 30,000 people, can fight, even if the battle is unfavorable, it is not difficult to defend the city and wait for rescue, Xi Luo Teng is preparing to cross the river, while stepping up to explore the battle situation ahead, learned that Fu Yan, the general guarding Xuchang, encountered Tan Xuan, the forward general of Huan Wen in Yuanling Baiyan Slope, Defeated by Tan Xuan, Fu Yan retreated to Luyang, joined up with the Zhennan general Murong Chen, and held on to wait for help, Huan Wen was rushing to Yingchuan to meet Murong Chui who had surrendered

Huangxu was originally the dock fort of the Sun clan of the Chenliu clan, and the Sun family moved to Wuyang, Hebei Province after annexing the Yan State, this Huangxu dock fort became the military town of Junyi's periphery, and the 20,000 foot cavalry of the conquest of the metropolitan governor Murong Li and the 3,000 steps of Zhao Hong were guarding the Huangxu, and the Junyi city thirty miles away was in a horn situation, to block the Jin army's northward advance of the Huangxu Dock Fort through Chen Liusun's and Murong Zhu's many years of operation, the city wall is tall and strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and at this time there are no residents in the dock fort, all are Yan army, Huan Xi, When Chen Caozhi led his troops to arrive at the Huangxu Fort on the 24th, he inspected the terrain of the Wupu Fort and knew that it was not easy to capture the Huangxu

The next day, Tian Luo, the general of Longji, was ordered to test the siege, the city was heavily defended, and it was impossible to break through, but Zhao Hong, who was about to be in the country, did not move, and Crazy Xi summoned Chen Caozhi and others to ask for advice, Chen Caozhi said: "Zhao Hong has few soldiers, of course he does not dare to rebel without authorization for his own plans, and we should create a good opportunity for Zhao Hong to make a difference." ”

Xie Xuan said: "Mo Ruo bypassed the Yellow Ruins and went straight to the Danyi. Junyi's Murong Zhu's garrison is less than 10,000 people, and Murong Li thinks that our army will take Junyi first, and will definitely take the back road to counterattack our army, so the opportunity is coming. ”

Murong Li in the Huangxu Dock Fort heard that the Jin army bypassed the Huangxu and went north, and hesitated for a while, worried that this was the Jin army leading him out of battle, and worried that the Junyi soldiers thirty miles away were outnumbered and difficult to defend. At that time, he will fight a decisive battle with Wu Kou

Zhao Hong offered a plan: "Huan Wen's son Huan Xi, has never been accustomed to using soldiers, its mastermind Chen Caozhi, Xie Xuan's generation is a special Xuan Tan celebrities, since the northern offense, the road has been smooth, has not been strongly resisted, as our Yan army is contempt, arrogant and arrogant, will be lighter than prevention, the last general will dare to lead the headquarters to attack its back road, burn its weight, in order to frustrate its spirit. ”

Murong Li also felt that as the governor of the conquest of the capital, he was ordered to rescue Danyi, if he only held on, it would be too ineffective, and the town of Huangxu was moved to fight each other with Junyi, and now the Jin army was attacking Danyi with all his might, if he did not move, he was afraid of being impeached by the courtiers, Zhao Hong's plan was reasonable and could be adopted, and immediately ordered Zhao Hong to lead the troops out of the city, and he led his troops to respond to one

That Zhao Hong led the headquarters of the 3,000-step car out of the Huangxu Dock Fort, six or seven miles away from the fort, he summoned the military officials above the chief to speak, and before he could speak, he took the lead and cut off a Xianbei lieutenant beside him, and shouted loudly: "Zuda Sima Northern Expedition is invincible. The people's desire is that Zhao wants to return to his homeland today, all of you are Han, are you willing to follow Zhao to make meritorious contributions? ”

Then Zhao Hong's cronies shouted: "We swear to follow General Zhao to the death!" ”

The three thousand steps led by Zhao Hong were all his old troops when he was the protector of Nanyang in Jin, and at this time, when he saw that Zhao Hong beheaded the captain of Xianbei, he also knew that he had to follow Zhao Hong, so they all shouted and swore to follow General Zhao

Zhao Hong said loudly: "Most of the Jin army is in front, we will catch up with it, and join forces with it to counterattack Huangxu, and make this great achievement, and everyone will be rewarded." Immediately led the army to follow the trail of the Jin army

Beifu soldiers Liu Gaozhi, Su Cai, and Shen Chiqian led the headquarters to postpone, and saw the Yan army with black helmets and black armor chasing after them, and wanted to abandon the weight to lure the enemy according to the plan, and then the ambushes on both sides rose up to encircle and suppress, but saw that the Yan general shouted that it was Zhao Hong, and came to surrender

Chen Caozhi and the rebellious general Cai Guang led the troops in the Phoenix Valley, heard that Zhao Hong came to surrender, and was overjoyed, that is, to meet, Zhao Hong saw Chen Caozhi, his heart was determined, and immediately offered advice "Bully the dock fort, calculate the point according to its plan." The well burned several broken cars. Thick smoke billowing "Xiachuan can be seen, and then Zhao Hong led the troops in front, and the fierce generals Liu Jiaozhi, He Qian and Zhao Hong walked together, and Shen Chiqian, Su Qi, and Cai Guangled five thousand strong cars to tiptoe behind

Murong Li in the Huangxu Dock Fort saw the smoke rising to the sky outside Fengli in the west of the city, and thought that Zhao Hong was in the way. He led the troops out of the west gate of the dock fort to respond, but saw Zhao Hong leading his troops to rush back, saying that he had burned a large number of siege equipment of the Jin army, but the Jin army was about to chase after him, so he asked the governor to return to the city to hold on

Murong Li raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and saw that there were Jin army foot soldiers chasing after him from seven or eight miles away, and said with a sneer: "General Zhao has made meritorious service, please go back to the city, and see that this king will rush to kill for a while and break the enemy's spirit." ”

Displayed behind Murong Li is 10,000 light cavalry, and the Jin army chasing is a chariot, at most 10,000 people, what to fear, Murong Li decided to lead the army to kill, when most of the Jin army rushed, his cavalry relied on the horse to quickly retreat to the city, angry Huan Xi and Chen Caozhi

At the sound of an order, the halberds of the 10,000 cavalry of the Yan Army were held high, as if a steel forest had grown in vain. The sound of hooves was dull and chaotic at first, but gradually merged into a huge roar, and the earth seemed to be a huge war drum, and 10,000 Xianbei iron horsemen beat out a breathtaking drum, and a great battle was about to begin. The Jin army in front stopped advancing, and quickly assembled into a small phalanx, and the small phalanx formed a large phalanx, waiting for the formation

But at this moment, there was a commotion in the Huangxu Dock Fort behind Yan Jun, and Murong Li slowed down his horse and looked back, but saw that the West Gate was in chaos. The soldiers were scuffling, Murong Li also saw the opportunity very quickly, and immediately woke up to the fact that this was Zhao Hong's rebellion, and he was furious, that is, he led the army back, but Zhao Song, Liu Gaozhi, and He Qian's three thousand soldiers had already controlled the west gate of Wubao, and before Murong Li could kill, the city gate was closed first, and a rain of arrows shot down Murong Li knew that something was wrong, and he was about to go around to the north gate, but he saw that the Jin army behind him had already rushed to the north gate, and the Yan cavalry lost the advantage of adding a charge, and the response was hasty, first by the crossbow arrows poured by the Jin army disrupted the formation, and then by the Jin army one by one small phalanx. The cavalry fought separately, and it was inconvenient to move around the place where the Jin army was oppressed outside the west gate, and Zhao Hongbu on the city tower kept shooting arrows down, Murong Li knew that the defeat was decided, and led the army to the north, at this time, he did not plan to enter the city from the north gate, the west gate has been lost, the Jin army will flock in, and the Yellow Ruins will not be able to hold it, and now only rely on the action advantage of the cavalry, throw off the Jin army, and go to Danyi and Murong Zhu to converge

Duan Si and Ran Sheng's three thousand heavy cavalry blocked the way, and after a rush, Murong Li led the remnants to break through, and encountered Tian Luo and Wei Gan's infantry battle formation, Murong Li could not advance in the direction of Junyi, and only changed the route to the northwest, which threw off the Jin army. Count the soldiers, the dead die, and scatter. There are only about 1,000 horses left

Just as Murong Li was walking around the north of the city, Zhao Hong of the West Gate led a thousand foot cars out of the city according to Chen Caozhi's order, and the Yan army in the city was in charge of Zhuge Kan and Liu Liang. Zhao Hong led Liu Gaozhi, Su Kai, and Cai Guang to Danyi in a hurry, and rushed to Junyi City in an hour and a half, Zhao Hong reported that the Yellow Ruins had been breached, and he fought desperately to get out of the siege and ordered the city gate guards to open the door

Zhao Hong followed Murong to build a road to guard Danyi for several years, no one knew anyone, and the guard general did not wait to know Murong Zhu, so he opened the door to admit Zhao Hong inside, the ending can be imagined, Junyi fell, and Murong Zhu led more than 100 horsemen to flee in a hurry.

Within one day, the Jin army connected the two cities of Huangxu and Ruiyi. Killed tens of thousands of enemies, captured 5,000 enemies, obtained more than 2,000 war horses, and countless ordnance and staffs

60,000 Beifu soldiers from the 27th of the previous month from Zhangcheng, just one month, more than 700 miles, after three siege battles, although not many killed, but a lot of wounded soldiers, after the occupation of Danyi, Crazy Xi listened to Chen Caozhi, Huan Shixiu's advice, rest and recuperate, while appeasing the people, the army is selfless, while sending people to report to Yingchuan, waiting for the next order of Ji Wen.

Murong Li led the remnants of more than 2,000 cavalry to flee to the south bank of the Yellow River, just met the heroic commander Xi Luo Teng led the heavy cavalry to cross the river with 5,000 people, Yan did not pay attention to the navy, there were almost no large warships, so the transportation of troops across the river was also slow, and the five thousand heavy cavalry for three days and three nights could not all cross the river to the south, at this time, Murong Zhu of Danyi also led more than 100 horsemen to come in embarrassment, Xi Luo Teng heard that Huangxu and Junyi had fallen into the hands of the Jin army, and he couldn't help but sigh at the wrist, his heavy cavalry was conducive to a decisive battle, not conducive to the siege, and immediately ordered scouts to inquire to see if Junyi's Jin army advanced to the south bank, if so, He can ambush the troops, 5,000 heavy cavalry, when he can get a big victory, but that night the scouts reported, saying that the Jin army stayed in Junyi to rectify, and the governor of Xi Luoteng could not do anything, but led the army along the south bank of the Yellow River to the west, and joined Murong De, the king of Fanyang, who was stationed in Mengyang, and then, the 200,000 troops of the great Sima Murong Sheng would also enter Tun Mengyang

Murong De, the general of Zhengnan and the king of Fanyang, was very happy to learn that Luo Teng had led heavy cavalry to help, but he couldn't help but be shocked when he learned that Huangxu and Danyi had been lost. And here, Fu Yan of Xuchang and Murong Chen of Luyang were defeated by Huan Wen one after another, and they no longer dared to go out of the city to engage in the battle, so they only waited for reinforcements

Xi Luoteng said: "His Royal Highness King Fanyang, the young general is willing to lead the headquarters to save Xuchang, Wu Kou is menacing, and he will not defeat his front, thinking that my Dayan is uncarable." ”

Xi Luoteng was young and vigorous, and it was actually quite disrespectful to speak like this, Murong De loved his majesty, and he didn't blame him, so he immediately put wine for his heroism, and ordered Murong Zhu to lead three thousand foot soldiers to assist him in the battle.

Xi Luoteng's 5,000 heavy cavalry was in front and Murong Zhu's 3,000 infantry was behind, and he arrived at Yingchuan Changshe on the sixth day of the fourth month, and the 2,000 infantry of Li Shu, the general of the Wen Department, met him. Xi Luoteng's left and right hands each have a pole and eight halberds, only one face, Li Shu stabbed off the horse, the army was killed, most of the two thousand infantry of Li Shu's department were killed and wounded, and the rest fled to Ying's "county city."

Huan Wen Zhengying "learned that Huan Xi and Chen Cao had won a big victory, and had entered Tun Danyi, Huan Wen was overjoyed, and sent Zhu Xu and Di Yao to attack Xuchang and Tan Xuan to attack Luyang, and to make the best of Henan, to capture Haoyang, he crossed the river and approached Hancheng, but at this time he got the news that Li Shu had died in battle, which was the first setback suffered since the Northern Expedition, and the loss of 1,501 sergeants was lost

Huan Wen heard that Luo Teng was brave and asked Murong Trai, and Murong Trai said: "Xi Luo Teng is extremely brave, and the five thousand heavy cavalry led by him can all be used to fighting soldiers, and the Duke of Ming must not despise him." ”

Huan Wen asked, "Can Qing surrender for me?" ”

Murong Chui groaned: "The one who detains the traveler. It was supposed to be a blessing to serve Ming Gong, but this Xi Luoteng had an arrogant temperament and couldn't be convinced, and he was only frustrated (to be continued)
