299 Battle in the Clouds
Tuoba Neighbors have made up their minds, and the various departments can be described as vigorous and resolute, but in less than a day of preparation, the three thousand elite horsemen are ready to go.
In fact, for the Xianbei tribes, whether it is a fine cavalry or a tribe, they all take horseback as their home, and they have long been accustomed to leaving as soon as they say, and with an order, the entire tribe will set off from camp, and it will only take two or three days of work.
From Jiuyuan to Yunzhong, the distance is only two hundred miles, three thousand Xianbei fine horses, galloping horses, if you are in a hurry, it will be a day's work, but Tuoba Lin considered that after leading the army to arrive in the clouds, there may be an unexpected outbreak of war, so he slowed down the march, and it took two days to rush to the wild dry water twenty miles outside the city in the clouds to join the shore of the Shaling Sea, and set up camp.
From beginning to end, he didn't communicate with the leader in the clouds, and it was clear that he was a posture of coming to watch.
Although the clouds are in the hands of the leader, the Xianbei people want to give up the elite cavalry like the Han people, and defend the city to the death, even if the leader wants to do this, the tribal leaders under his command will also attack it in groups and oppose it.
When he received the scout's report, Tuoba Lin's reaction was to smile indifferently.
Although before sending troops, he had said that the head of the department, and the Tuoba tribe, the same clan, but in fact, in the bottom of his heart, but this sentence as a big empty word, before in the king of the sandalwood Huai tent, as one of the western adults, but not less by the Tan Shi Huai led by the Xianbei Department of bullying, now, the Tan Shi Huai is dead, the part is split into several parts, his son and even entrenched in the Dan Khan Mountain is a part, the head of the head is another part.
If it weren't for the insight into the Han army's intentions and not limited to Yunzhong, he would have taken this opportunity to subdue the Xianbei tribes led by the leader.
For three days in a row, both armies did not move, and Tuoba Lin was really able to calm down. Every day, he only sent scouts to investigate, and he never even went out of the camp.
In the early morning of the fourth day, as soon as the sky was dark, Tuoba Lin got up as usual, and just wore his long hair and clothes, and went out of the tent.
The morning breeze in early autumn was a little cold, and Tuoba Lin felt very comfortable, as an old-school Xianbei tribesman, he was accustomed to the severe cold of Mobei. At one time, he was quite unaccustomed to the heat south of Yinshan.
Under the morning breeze, Tuoba Lin stood still with his hands behind his back, looking up at the clouds in the eastern sky, until a round of red sun erupted. He breathed a long sigh of satisfaction and stretched his waist, which was already a little stiff.
Since he got up. The sound of horses' hooves inside and outside the camp. It was the scouts who came out of the camp and returned to the camp, and when he was stunned to find the sound of horses' hooves coming straight towards him, he couldn't help but turn his head to look over.
A horse galloped forward, and only a dozen paces in front of him stopped the horse. When the knight raised his front hooves, he rolled off the horse's back, and stepped forward and said, "Report, the Han army pulled out the camp overnight." Missing! β
"What?!"
Tuoba Lin was taken aback, his eyes widened, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind, but it was difficult to explain why the Han army had such an unexpected move.
At this time, it is more critical to figure out, where did the Han army go? Is it to retreat to Shanan and Keiling, to bypass Baiqushui and attack Yunzhong from the side, or to bypass Shalinghai and attack Xianyang and even Jiuyuan?
The more Tuoba Lin thought about it, he was surprised in his heart, and he further thought that it was not until he led the army to arrive at the shore of Huangganshui and Shaling Sea that the Han army made such a response.
Just when Tuoba ordered all the scouts to swarm in all directions to investigate the movements of the Han army, in the Xianbei camp on the bank of the Baiqu River, the commander of the commander was also angry, and shouted to order the scouts to come out.
More than 10,000 Han soldiers disappeared without a trace under his nose, which made him feel a chill from the bottom of his heart, and he felt even more embarrassed.
This is in the clouds, but in his territory, he can know what is going on, but the disappearance of the Han army is tantamount to giving him a slap in the face, how not to make him feel embarrassed.
Time passed like an autumn breeze that kept blowing, and the head walked back and forth in the tent of the Chinese army, his heart became more and more irritable, and after two hours, when he was almost unable to control his anger, the scouts who had been scattered finally paid off.
Not only that, but the news of the return also lifted his spirits.
The Han army withdrew in such a hurry, it turned out that Meiji was suddenly attacked, and the Han army wanted to break away overnight so that they could rush back to deal with the aftermath.
Suddenly, from the irritability of not knowing the whereabouts of the Han army, to the ecstasy of hearing the news, the good news came too quickly at once, and the head felt very dizzy.
"Calm down, calm down!"
The head walked back and forth in the tent, and as he walked, he kept reminding himself to calm down, but he was so ecstatic that he couldn't calm down at all, so much so that he wanted to stretch out his hand and pat the door of his head, making a snapping sound.
After a long time, the leader finally calmed down from his ecstasy, and immediately roared like thunder, and urgently summoned the leaders of the various tribes to enter the account to discuss.
In fact, there is nothing to discuss about this matter, the Han army was attacked on the back road, and evacuated in a panic, if you don't catch up with him at this time, wouldn't it be a waste of opportunity to kill him?
Half an hour later, the first elite cavalry galloped out of the camp, crossed the knee-deep Baiqu water, followed the direction of the Han army's withdrawal, and chased after it in a hurry.
When Tuoba Lin learned of Kuitou's movements, he also received a warning from Kuitou: either join him to fight against the Han army, or stay away, otherwise, the consequences will be very serious.
With such a warning, with a sense of complacency in his hands, Tuoba Lin did not overreact, nor did he rashly lead the army to camp to keep up, but he still felt like he was falling into a fog when the Han army suddenly moved south.
It wasn't until sunset, when the leader had led his army away for a long time, that Tuoba Lin finally found out the reason, frowned and thought about it, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
The hasty evacuation of the Han army is really related to him, the so-called Meiji was attacked Yunyun, although the language is unknown, but if Meiji was really attacked, of course, it was attacked by the Tuoba Xianbei Department led by him.
However, in the blink of an eye, Tuoba Lin vetoed this idea again, and the commander of the Han army would not be stupid enough to use such a trick to deceive the leader, you know, between him and the leader, it is only dozens of miles apart, after learning about it, send someone to investigate, you can know whether the Tuoba Xianbei Department has sent people to attack Meiji.
Could it be the rebellion of the Xiongnu tribe of Meiji? Or is this a ruse by the Han army to lead the leader and lead his troops to chase down?
Tuoba Lin was alone in the big tent of the Chinese army, and after just pacing back and forth a few times, he was convinced that the leader had been tricked and was going to be unlucky.
As soon as he thought of this, Tuoba Neighbor could no longer sit still, and immediately summoned his own brothers, who had come with the army, and gave a few orders, that is, he personally led three hundred guards, each with three days' worth of dry food, and rode out of the camp.
When he left the camp, Tuoba Lin habitually looked up at the sky, and the approximate time had been determined.
A remnant sun has sunk into the depths of the grassland, and the clouds in the western sky, like several streamers, extend from the western sky to the overhead, without the afterglow of the sunset, gray and dim.
But just as Tuoba was about to withdraw his gaze, the clouds were dyed a layer of red in an instant, which was caused by the return of light after the sun had set on the ground.
Although he didn't care about the Kuitou's warning, he still had a fine cavalry in the camp by the barren water, which seemed to be specially guarded against him, so after leading the army out of the camp, he made a big circle along the Shaling Sea, and then turned southeast from the passage between the Shaling Sea and the big river.
After galloping for two or three hours, the sky was already dark, and the stars and moon shone on the vast grassland, which seemed exceptionally soft and quiet.
"Dashuai, look!"
While galloping, Tuoba Lin suddenly heard someone reminding him, and when he looked up, he saw a faint light in the distance in front of him on the left.
"Let's go!"
Tuoba Lin gave an order, turned his horse and galloped to the light in front of the left, and the three hundred guards immediately followed, and in the quiet night, the sound of hooves rumbled, breaking the silence of the moonlit night.
Half an hour of galloping, the original faint torch light, can be seen clearly at this moment, and just ahead, there is already a warning sound from the sentry scout, Tuoba Lin ignored it, and still led the army forward.
Just a few miles closer, there was the sound of rumbling horses' hooves ahead, and it was a pair of shadows, with their backs to the light of the torches, galloping towards them.
Tuoba stopped his horse, and three hundred guards skillfully stopped behind him, forming a formation that the Xianbei knights were best at, waiting for the arrival.
After a while, the galloping elite rider also stopped, and a horse stepped forward slowly, under the moonlight, Tuoba Lin couldn't see the other party's face clearly, but only by his figure, he guessed that the other party was very young.
"Who's coming?"
When Tuoba Lin heard how the other party asked, he urged him to take a few steps forward and asked, "Who are you?" β
The person on the other side was silent for a moment, and then he said "Huh" in some surprise, and suddenly said: "Oh, it turned out to be Tuoba Xianbei, what's the matter, did Tuoba send you to die?" β
Although there were still nearly ten miles away, in the night wind, Tuoba Lin still smelled a faint smell of blood, in such a place, so far away, the smell of blood was still so clear and audible, it can be imagined that in the light of the torches in front of them, how many Xianbei warriors shed blood.
In an instant, an irrepressible sadness swelled in Tuobalin's heart, tears welled up in his eyes, but his face was very cold, and he laughed sadly and angrily in the sky, and said: "Okay, good, if it is really a hero out of a young man, I have been crisscrossing the prairie for decades, and I never thought that I would see such a young hero today!" β
"You're Tuoba Neighbor?!"
The man on the other side was holding what seemed to be a spear, pointing straight at him and shouting loudly.
Tuoba Lin replied coldly: "I am Tuoba Lin, why, the young hero doesn't even dare to report his own name, but do you want to come to take the old man's head?" (To be continued......)
