Chapter Seventy-Two: The Battle Outside the Gate

Before dawn, the mission that was going back finally met the Jin ** team, which gathered 3,000 elite cavalry and 2,000 Mo sword troops to the north at Huangsha Pass.

The leader was actually Zhao Qi.

Zhao Qi handed Xie Shence a letter from Xie Yi. After Xie Shence read it, he finally confirmed the conjecture about the conspiracy in his heart. Sure enough, the emperor is sorry for them.

Damn the seemingly beautiful and pro-is a disguise! The whole mission going north is a conspiracy! Of course, the conspiracy is a little too much.

Xie Shence was very angry.

Xie Shence's heart was very blocked, and he felt that he was being used as a chess piece.

The emperor does not want to kiss. But the emperor sent a sufficiently large delegation north. Xie Shence will go through the experience, but that is only a fairly small possibility. This situation will only happen under the premise that Duan Xianbei will not make a move against the mission.

But Duan Xianbei made a move, and he shot recklessly. Then Xie Shence naturally can't go to the Xianbei Royal Court, and if he can't go to the Royal Court, he will still experience a fart!

The emperor is not playing a game, the emperor is playing a big vote!

Okay, this is Xie Shence's belly slander, if you don't understand, then I'll explain it to you.

Here's the thing:

About 20 years ago, Tuoba Rui came to the Jin capital as an envoy and formed a deep friendship with His Majesty the current Emperor, and then many stories happened during the period of sympathy. Many years later, one became Xianbei Da Dan Yu, and the other became the Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty. At some point, because of something, Xianbei Da Shan Yu asked Emperor Jin to do him a favor, and in return, Da Shan Yu could marry his daughter to Emperor Jin's son, and the two countries were reconciled, and he would not receive sword soldiers in his lifetime. Then Emperor Jin agreed.

That's the general story.

The crux of the story is Emperor Jin's help.

How did Emperor Jin help? Help the big single in the section department.

Why? Because the section is disobedient. But Da Shan Yu couldn't find a good reason to make a move on Duanbu, so he directed a scene with Emperor Jin.

How can it help? Duan Bu and the Xie family have a grudge against their son, so Emperor Jin sent the Xie family to swagger past the gate of Duan Bu, can Duan Bu still endure it? Can't stand it? Let's do it. However, once it starts, it will provoke disputes between the two countries, and when the time comes, it will be held accountable, whether it is Emperor Jin or Da Shan Yu, they will point the finger at Duanbu. Then, Tuoba Rui has a reason to clean up the section.

His Majesty the Emperor is really not an ordinary person, maybe Wen Taowu is not as good as the two brothers, but the yin and yang strategy is really brilliant, and he deserves to finally ascend to the throne.

Xie Shence sighed secretly, it was really a stroke of genius. This time, even grandpa shouldn't have seen through the tacit understanding between the two.

But what benefits can the Jin Kingdom get?

The benefits that Grandpa said about the Jin Kingdom to the Xianbei people are probably to help the Xianbei people, so what did the Xianbei people pay to compensate the Jin Kingdom? The emperor owes Da Shan Yu a favor to Brother Yu and helped him, and Da Shan Yu also has to show corresponding sincerity.

The mission and Yu Linwei had already withdrawn to Huangsha Pass in advance, and they were to write a performance at Tiemen Pass to present the emperor, waiting for the emperor's decree to be issued. One of the teams of Yulin rode fast horses to report the situation on the grassland to Huangsha Pass, so as to make a timely response.

And Xie Shence, Xie Shenwei and He Ruoque stayed with thirty iron guards. They have another task, and that is to be the queen of the palace.

The queen of the palace is a civilized statement, and the direct point is that since you have already torn your face with the Duanbu, let's do it!

So after two hours of rest, the three of them recovered some physical strength, and began to deploy battle plans with Zhao Qi and other officers.

Xie Shence saw that Xie Shenwei's eyes had flashed with excitement.

This time it was Zhao Qi who came, and he also brought Xie Yi's handwritten letter, Xie Shenwei naturally took the command of the command, and Xie Shence served as the dog-headed military advisor.

After lunch, Xie Shence basically finalized the battle plan.

The name of this place is Huluzui, as the name suggests, it is a relatively narrow area on the road, with a desert to the west, a mountain to the east, and a relatively small mountain in the middle, dividing the entire narrow road into two.

Xie Shence's battle plan will start from here. According to the intelligence brought back by the rangers of the Northwest Army, the Duan Department had dispatched nearly 20,000 iron cavalry to the south, divided into three routes, and rushed to Huangsha Pass with murderous spirit.

This place is only two days away from Huangsha Pass, and the cavalry can reach it in one day, so Xie Shence and Xie Shenwei decided to fight an ambush here.

5,000 ambushes and 20,000, if He Ruoque didn't know that the cavalry of the Duan Division was divided into three ways and that there was nothing to change in Xie Shence's plan, he would have wondered if the heads of the two brothers were caught by the door.

The sum of the three thousand elite cavalry and the two thousand Mo Dao is more than five thousand, because there is still some distance from Huangsha Pass, so the team also brought enough grain and grass to consume two days and four thousand war horses. Together with the auxiliaries, the total number reached six thousand. It's a field battle anyway, otherwise there will be more things to bring.

Pulling people up the hill in the belly of the gourd -- in fact, it can't be regarded as a hill, the hill with a radius of nearly seventy or eighty miles is really not small -- Xie Shenwei led two thousand three hundred elite horsemen into the mouth of the right gourd to look for the cavalry of the Duanbu.

Soon, near the end of the day, Xie Shenwei's more than 2,000 Northwest Army finally encountered 7,000 cavalry from the Duan Department ten miles away from Hulu's belly mountain.

The black-pressed cavalry covered the entire valley floor like ants, almost blocking the entire mouth of the right gourd. In the face of the Northwest Army, which was only one-third of its number, the huge numerical advantage made General Wanfuchang, who led the army of the Duan Division, very excited. He was the commander of the Duan Division, who had been fighting with the Northwest Army all the year round, and had a deep understanding of the terrifying combat effectiveness of the Northwest Army. Ten against ten, he is confident that the Xianbei cavalry can definitely win, one hundred against a hundred, maybe it can be a draw, but a thousand against a thousand, the victory or defeat is not something that can be reversed by individual combat effectiveness, and many thousand troops of the Xianbei cavalry were disabled by the same number of Northwest Army. However, seven thousand against two thousand, if he Duan Buda can't pat his chest and say that he won, then he can go home and herd sheep.

Xie Shenwei ran back without hesitation.

Duan Buda pursued without hesitation.

He knew that he hadn't caught up with the Jin envoy at this time, so that group of people was likely to have been picked up by the army on the border, but he didn't expect that the army would actually split a part of it to the palace, let alone be bumped into by himself at the mouth of the gourd.

Even if he failed to slaughter Xie Tu's nephew, it would be a great achievement to bring back two thousand heads.

There is no suspense in this kind of chase, and it usually only takes half an hour to catch up.

However, this is not a grassland, as soon as the two armies and auxiliaries meet, Xie Shenwei turned around and left, and after turning the corner of the mountain, they opened up a long distance. After Duan Buda turned the corner of the mountain, he found that the Northwest Army had already set up a formation.

Duan Buda was taken aback, and hurriedly ordered to stop advancing.

He wondered if there was an ambush ahead. Because the Northwest Army's basic tactic against the Xianbei cavalry was to wait for work, so when Duan Buda saw that the Northwest Army was no longer running away, he was naturally puzzled.

So when he was puzzled, Xie Shenwei led two thousand three hundred spirits to ride.

Duan Buda was shocked, but he did not lose his color, because even though he knew that his seven thousand cavalry had just stopped and could not suddenly accelerate to the top, and could only resist passively, and was in a disadvantageous position, he did not think that he could chisel through the cavalry phalanx of seven thousand people with two thousand light cavalry.

It's impossible!

Two thousand heavy cavalry is impossible! Not to mention a light ride!

No matter how fine the ride is, it is also a light ride. Even if Xie Tu led the army, it would be impossible to do it!

Therefore, he is ready to order the seven thousand cavalry to start charging, even if it can't maximize the advantage of the cavalry, it can also offset the inertia of some of the Northwest Army's war horses, as long as the Northwest Army can't chisel through the formation with a charge, then he can turn the Northwest Army trapped in his own phalanx and can't move into foot soldiers and kill all of them.

Just as he was about to speak, Duan Buda was stunned, because he found that the Northwest Army on the opposite side had actually begun to flee again.

This group of cowardly and timid Jin people! Is there still the dignity of being a warrior?

Duan Buda was furious, he felt that he had been teased by this group of Jin people, and he felt that the Jin people's pause just now was to confuse him and get precious time to rest. Of course, he didn't think that he was frightened by the Jin army's unusual behavior.

So the distance was opened up a little more.

After a quarter of an hour, the distance between the two armies had reached more than a mile. At this time, Xie Shenwei led the army to stop again. Facing the cavalry of the section head-on.

Duan Buda stopped again.

So Xie Shenwei led the army to launch a charge, and this time it was a real charge.

Duan Buda's face was overjoyed. He was sure that the remaining two cavalry had already passed through Hulu's belly mountain before him, and if the opposite Northwest Army fled south, it was likely that the other two cavalry would also find their tracks, and thus be surrounded and annihilated.

Although the loss of this army would be much smaller for him in that case, it was not his credit alone, so he was very grateful to the officer of the Northwest Army who had finally made up his mind to fight to the death on the other side, and gave him a great military merit. Beheading 2,000 Jin troops, this is an extremely rare achievement!

A certain family is going to make your head into a drinking vessel to commend you for your bravery.

Duan Buda thought in his heart.

So he also attacked.

Seven thousand Xianbei iron cavalry against two thousand three hundred Northwest Army!

A battle with a huge disparity in strength.

Indeed, as Duan Buda thought, even if it was more than 2,000 cavalry, it was unlikely that he would be able to cut through the thick formation of 7,000 people in one fell swoop, so he was not worried that he would fail, because this was no longer in his consideration.

Xie Shenwei was still used as an offensive arrow, pulling the formation into an awl, and met the seven thousand cavalry of Duan Xianbei.

One hundred meters.

Fifty meters.

Ten meters.

"Bump!"

The two armies finally collided!

When the first horse of the Xianbei cavalry passed by Xie Shenwei, the knight on the horse had already flown upside down, and knocked down a Xianbei cavalry behind, Xie Shenwei waved his halberd, overturned a cavalryman again, and rushed forward in a straight line without looking back. For a moment, the people behind him flipped on their backs, their severed limbs flying, and the screams and the creaking of severing limbs with knives merged into a bloody movement.

Xie Shenwei's more than 2,000 people passed through the 7,000 Xianbei cavalry formation.

Piercing and gouging are two different concepts, the former is just a normal one-round encounter, and the latter is a crushing kill.

Therefore, the Northwest Army to which Xie Shenwei belonged was only more than 1,500 people at this time.

Only one convergence will reduce the number of personnel by one-third. But it also fought out more than 1,000 Xianbei cavalry.

So Xie Shenwei led the rest of the people to continue to rush forward, and there was no intention of fighting the second round at all. Because fighting again is not courage, but death.

Seeing that the Northwest Army did not have the courage to fight again, Duan Buda wiped a blood-soaked war knife and shouted: "Catch up!" Kill them all! ”

Nearly 6,000 Xianbei cavalrymen rushed towards the right gourd mouth with sabers and screaming.
