Chapter 783: The Substitute Army Retreats
In the direction of Lukou City, the confrontation between the main force of the Jin army and the army of Yan was extremely tense, and in the direction of Bingzhou, the confrontation between the Xie Ai army and the army of Dai Guo also entered a white-hot stage, and the battle could be described as imminent.
At the same time, Wang Meng's legion, which had been reinforced from the direction of Guanzhong, also successfully inserted into the flank and rear of the Tuoba Shiyi Key Legion, but when it arrived at Yanjing Mountain, dozens of miles northwest of Yunzhong City, it was still discovered by the scouts of Daiguo.
Seeing that the main cavalry of the Jin army suddenly appeared in the northwest direction of Yunzhong City, the scouts of the Dai army were greatly surprised, and immediately rushed to Jinchang City, preparing to report the situation to Tuoba Shiyijian.
"Report, Wang, it's not good, the main cavalry of the Jin army has detoured back to the rear of our army." The proxy scout broke into the tent of the Chinese army in Tuoba Shiyijian, and reported in a panic.
When Tuoba Shi Yijian and the generals under his command heard this, they were all taken aback, they didn't understand what was going on, after all, the 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Xie Ai Legion were completely under their noses, how could they suddenly reach their flanks and rear.
"Don't panic, what the hell is going on, tell me in detail." Tuoba Wingkey asked loudly as he looked at the scout.
The scout hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, in Yanjing Mountain in the northwest, the villain found a cavalry of the Jin army, with 100,000 men and horses. After speaking, he looked at Tuoba Shi Yijian in a daze.
"What, 100,000 Jin army cavalry, how is this possible, you can see it clearly." One of the generals asked aloud, apparently not believing that this was true, and likewise, neither did Tuoba Shiyi Jian and the other generals under his command believe that this was true.
"Your Majesty, the villain has seen it with his own eyes. The 100,000 cavalry of the Jin army has entered Yanjing Mountain, and the banner covers the sun, which is not spectacular, which is absolutely not wrong. The scout affirmed.
Hearing this, Tuoba Shiyi Jian fell into deep thought, paused, and said softly: "The area around Yanjing Mountain is deserted, and if the main cavalry of the Jin army is hidden in Yanjing Mountain, it will pose a great threat to our army's rear road, but. The soldiers and horses under Xie Ai's command are all in Jiuyuan City. Where did the 100,000 Jin cavalry in Yanjing Mountain come from? After saying that, he fell into deep thought again.
"Your Majesty, will it be Wang Meng's army in the direction of Guanzhong." A representative general said loudly.
"Yes, Your Majesty. The Jin army is indeed a king on it. The scout shouted.
Tuoba Shi Wing Key heard this. Immediately shocked. In this way, Wang Meng's army in Guanzhong has been reinforced and merged in the direction of the state, and has successfully detoured to the vicinity of his own back road. This is extremely unfavorable for the Dai Guo army, thinking about it, a cold sweat broke out on the back of Tuoba Shi Yijian.
"Your Majesty, the Jin army is attacking from the north to the south, and our army's chances of victory are slim!" A representative of the army said in a low voice.
Tuoba Shiyi Jian roared angrily: "Xie Ai has never been able to hold out, this king thought that he was afraid of face-to-face confrontation with our army, but it turned out that he was actually waiting for Wang Meng's army to detour behind our army, it is really hateful!" ”
"Your Majesty, at this time, the Jin army Wang Meng's army is still dozens of miles away from Jinchang City, our army should immediately withdraw from Jinchang City and retreat to Shengle, so as to avoid falling into the encirclement of the Jin army on both sides." A representative general said calmly.
Hearing this, Tuoba Shi Yijian nodded, and said loudly: "The order is given, and the whole army and horses will immediately assemble and prepare to withdraw." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." The generals of the acting army replied loudly.
Subsequently, the generals of the various generations began to gather their own soldiers and prepare to withdraw to the capital Shengle.
The large-scale assembly of the Dai army camp and the packing of their bags naturally attracted the attention of the Jin army scouts, who immediately returned to Jiuyuan City as fast as they could after learning of this situation, and prepared to report to Xie Ai.
In the camp of Xie Ai's army in the direction of Jiuyuan City, the main general Xie Ai was calculating where Wang Meng's army might arrive and calculating the moment when his army would attack.
"It's almost time to get to the designated location." Xie Ai looked at the map in the big tent of the Chinese army and muttered to himself.
"General, what are you talking about, what is going on." Zhao Wu asked softly.
Xie Ai smiled and said: "The general is calculating the position where the 100,000 horses under General Wang arrived, if it is a qiē shun lì, now, the 100,000 cavalry of our army should have entered the flank and rear of the Dai army, and can launch a surprise attack on Tuoba's back at any time, so as to cooperate with the main army of our army to flank Tuoba Shi Yijian." ”
"Oh, that's a good thing! In this way, our army should also be prepared immediately so that it can attack at any time. Zhao Wu Zhengse said.
"Report, General, the army of Daiguo is packing up and seems to be withdrawing." At this moment, the scout rushed into Xie Ai's Chinese army tent and reported loudly.
Xie Ai was overjoyed when he heard this, he knew that the Daiguo army was in a hurry to withdraw, and he must have discovered the cavalry corps under Wang Meng's command, which means that the 100,000 main cavalry of Wang Meng's army should have arrived at the flank and rear of the Daiguo army, thus forming a substantial threat to the Daiguo army, and then forcing Tuoba Shi Yijian to withdraw immediately.
"The cavalry corps under General Wang's command should have arrived at the rear of the Daiguo army, and our army should attack immediately, and we must not let Tuoba Shi Yijian escape easily." Xie Ai said excitedly.
Zhang Hao, Zhao Wu, Yang An and other generals were all overjoyed when they heard the words, and all of them hugged their fists to receive orders and asked for orders to attack.
Xie Ai immediately ordered his generals to immediately lead their troops to set off and run in the direction of Jinchang City to pursue the main army of Daiguo who was trying to flee.
After a short period of preparation, the 20,000 cavalry under Zhang Hao took the lead in pursuing in the direction of Jinchang City, the charioteers under Yang An and the main infantry under Zhao Wu then marched, and Xie Ai personally led the 40,000 reserve army to set off finally to deal with the main army in front.
Just when Xie Ai's army launched a pursuit in the direction of Jinchang City, in the direction of Jinchang City, Tuoba Shi Yijian had already led the main army under his command and retreated in the direction of Shengle City.
In order to escape from the encirclement of the Jin army as much as possible, Tuoba Shiyi Jian issued an order to let the main army under his command run towards Shengle City as quickly as possible.
However, Tuoba Shi Yijian would never have dreamed that when the scouts under his command discovered Wang Meng's army and rode their horses to report, the soldiers of Wang Meng's army also discovered the scouts and told Wang Meng about the incident.
Wang Meng saw that the army under his command was discovered by the scouts of the army, and he felt bad in his heart, he knew that once Tuoba Shi Yijian discovered the 100,000 cavalry under his command, he would definitely immediately evacuate Jinchang City, so that he and Xie Ai's painstaking plan to encircle and annihilate was ruined, so Wang Meng immediately made a decision and immediately ordered that the cavalry corps under his command march to Yuanping City, dozens of miles north of Jinchang City, and asked the 20,000 cavalry in the front to abandon all heavy equipment and rush to Yuanping City as fast as possible, so as to jam the northward retreat road of Tuoba Shi Yikey.
Just when the scouts of the Dai army arrived and arrived in Jinchang City and reported to Tuoba Shi Yijian that Wang Meng's army had appeared in Yanjing Mountain, the 20,000 forwards of Wang Meng's army were not far from Yuanping City.
When Tuoba Shi Yijian personally led the main army under his command to retreat to the north, the 20,000 forward cavalry under Wang Meng had successfully raided and captured the original Ping City, captured all the materials of the Dai army in the city, and began to build city defenses, preparing to resist the attack of the main force of the Dai army.
Tuoba Shi Yijian led the main army under his command to retreat in the direction of Shengle City at the fastest speed, along the way, Tuoba Shi Yijian's mood was very low, after all, the 100,000 horses of the Jin army Xie Ai Legion were enough to give him a headache, and now, the 100,000 cavalry of Wang Meng's army came over with reinforcements, which made him feel difficult to deal with, and worried about the future of Daiguo.
Seeing that Tuoba Shiyijian's face was pale, a subordinate general clenched his fists and persuaded: "Your Majesty, Shengle City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, as long as our army withdraws into Shengle City, even if the Jin army has 200,000 horses, it will be useless." ”
Tuoba Shi Yijian looked at this general, and said softly: "Shengle City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the Jin army is naturally difficult to break, but the strength of the Jin army is getting stronger and stronger, which is not a good thing for my country!" After saying that, he fell into sorrow again.
"Report, Your Majesty, the big thing is not good, the original Pingcheng has been lost." At this moment, a scarred general rushed over and reported to Tuoba Shiyijian.
When Tuoba Shiyi Jian heard this, he was immediately shocked, and asked tremblingly: "Yuanping City is lost, how is this possible, isn't the cavalry of the Jin army still far away in Yanjing Mountain?" After speaking, he looked at the generals beside him in surprise.
The generals were also stunned, they couldn't believe that this was true, after all, this qiē happened so fast that they didn't have time to prepare.
"How many men and horses are there in the Jin army." One of the generals beside Tuoba Shiyi asked loudly.
"The Jin army has 20,000 cavalry, and when it arrived a few miles outside the west gate, the last general thought it was our soldiers, and when the Jin cavalry arrived at the city, our army was not well prepared, and within half an hour, the city was broken by the Jin cavalry." The general of the acting army, covered in blood, said loudly.
Hearing this, Tuoba Shiyi Jian sighed, because Yuanping City was in the rear of Jinchang City, therefore, he only sent a thousand soldiers to guard it, so that the Jin army took advantage of the loophole, but he would not have thought that the 100,000 cavalry of Wang Meng's army would suddenly reinforce and merge the state.
"Your Majesty, the Jin army has broken through Yuanping City and blocked the way for our army to retreat north, and our army must immediately recapture Yuanping City." A representative army general said loudly.
Tuoba Shi Yijian nodded, and said loudly: "Pass the order, the army will speed up and prepare to recapture Yuanping City." ”
Under the order of Tuoba Shi Yijian, the main force of 150,000 cavalry of Daiguo quickly killed in the direction of Yuanping City, preparing to immediately capture Yuanping City, so as to open the way to retreat north.
Soon, Tuoba Shiyi Jian and the 150,000 main cavalry under his command arrived outside the south gate of Yuanping City and prepared to attack the city.
"Your Majesty, the three armies are ready to attack the city at any time." Under the original Ping City, a representative army general said loudly. (To be continued......)
