Chapter 486: Encircling and Annihilating Tuobayi
The Wei people who were lucky enough to go ashore did not have the courage to turn back and fight, and fled in all directions, and the Wei people in the river, although they had no idea of escaping, could not even shoot arrows on the boat, and sometimes the boat swayed, and it was likely to be shaken into the water, which was also an important reason why the Wei people used the separation of men and horses, they were worried that the horses were not honest on the boat.
Another reason is that there are not so many boats, people and horses cross the river together, and they have to cross back and forth, but it is better to save trouble by going all at once, because of this, it has brought disaster to the Wei people!
Originally, according to Wei Feng's prediction, it would be very good to kill and injure a Wei army of 30,000 or 20,000, but the reality is even better than imagined, and the Wei people are doing a one-shot deal!
From noon to sunset, the slaughter lasted for three hours, the bath water had been dyed dark red, exuding a strong smell of blood, the river was covered with floating corpses and ship debris, and the calm water was slowly rushing towards Bai Yangze downstream, and the thousands of people who escaped by luck did not pursue, but salvaged the saddles and tried to collect the horses.
The Wei army of 50,000 people crossed the river, bringing with them all two horses, theoretically there were 100,000 war horses, but in the end, only more than 70,000 horses were received, and the rest were all scattered, and there was no way to recover them in a short time.
After hastily cleaning up, Xiang Mi ordered to abandon the ship, the whole army besieged Zhongshan, and launched an attack the next day, although the Wei people knew that the Jin army could only break the city to death, but there were only a few thousand defenders left in the city of Nuoda, and there were still a large number of people from the original Yan State in the city, and it was impossible for these people to be mobilized to participate in the defense of the city, in the evening. The city has finally been destroyed!
After Xiang Mi occupied the city gate, he launched a search and arrest operation overnight, and by the early morning of the next day, all the Wei men in the city were slaughtered!
After another three days, Xiang Mi divided his troops to the south, attacking the counties and important cities in Hebei, due to the annihilation of 50,000 elite cavalry, the strength of Wei in Hebei has been extremely empty, and the news that Zhongshan was broken has spread, the Wei people in various cities have fled. This also includes Ye and Changshan Zhending (Zhao Zilong's hometown. Zhengding County, Hebei Province), Xindu (now Jizhou City, Hebei Province), Xiangguo (now Xingtai) and other important cities, for a while, the Jin army in Hebei Province rolled in iron hooves, and the people opened the city gates one after another. Welcome the arrival of the Central Plains King!
On the same day that Xiang Mi divided his troops to attack the cities of Hebei. "What?" Tuoba Yi was stunned for a moment. There was a look of despair on his face, and the scout who came to report the news was trembling all over, as if the end was coming!
Tuobayi's worst fears still happened. 50,000 elite horsemen were ambushed on the water, only a few thousand people escaped, and Zhongshan also fell the next day, it can be expected that the fall of the whole territory of Hebei is only a matter of time, and the Kwantung that has just been obtained will also be fiercely attacked by the Qin State.
Only Hedong can barely survive in the Great Wei Kingdom, but with only a corner of Hedong, how long can it withstand the repeated attacks of Qin and Jin? He had a faint premonition that the Great Wei Kingdom was over, and the culprit of all this was himself!
"Zheng!" With a bang, Tuoba Yi pulled out his sword, and was about to wipe it off his neck, he had become the sinner of Tuoba Clan, and in just two battles, he had buried the national fortune of Tuoba Clan, even if he lived a moment longer, he felt ashamed!
"King Wei, no!" Changsun Fei grabbed Tuoba Yi's sword-holding hand and hurriedly persuaded.
Tuoba Yi's eyes were red, and he roared: "How can you be alone and have the face to live in the world? Lone remembers that you said before, if you lose Hebei, Lone will become the eternal sinner of the Tuoba clan, and you will no longer have the face to see my Tuoba clan's ancestors and ancestors, this is what you said, why do you want to stop Lone? You say, don't say that Lone killed you first! ”
"King Wei, please calm down!" The eldest grandson Fei persuaded sadly: "Although my Great Wei has suffered a big setback, but now there are more than 30,000 soldiers under your command, they are related to the life and death of the Tuoba clan, if you can break through and return to Hedong, the Tuoba clan still has a chance to recuperate according to Hedong, and even make a comeback!"
The Tuoba clan has lasted for thousands of years, ancient and long, and has always been tenacious, who is not able to achieve great things after Emperor Zhaocheng (Tuoba Shi Yiqian) and today's lord? Therefore, you have to keep the vitality of the Tuoba clan no matter what, if these more than 30,000 elites fall into Tianjin again, I'm afraid the Tuoba clan is really hopeless!
Your subordinates understand your feelings, and if you change your subordinates, you will not hesitate to die, but once you have an accident, your morale will inevitably fall, and the morale of the army will be scattered. ”
With a plop, the eldest grandson fell to his knees, and then, with a plopping sound, everyone in the tent knelt down.
Tuoba Yi's arms trembled obviously, his face was changed back and forth with shame and resentment, and it took a long time before the sword fell to the ground with a bang, as if he had lost all his strength, and waved his hand weakly: "Okay, the head of the lonely master will be temporarily sent, if you return to Pingcheng, you will return it to Your Majesty in time!" ”
"Swear to live and die with the king!" The kneeling generals suddenly shouted in unison, and a generous and tragic aura filled the entire camp!
Tuoba Yi felt the blood boiling all over his body, he had already put life and death out of the way, and his only mission was to preserve the vitality of the Great Wei Kingdom as much as possible!
'Huh? Tuoba Yi suddenly moved in his heart, looked out of the tent with cold eyes, and there was a sound of footsteps approaching quickly outside the tent, and after a while, a relative rushed in and said loudly: "King Wei, the Jin army in Tianjin has been dispatched and is about to attack!" ”
"Quick, go and have a look!" Tuoba Yi hurriedly stepped out.
Tuoba Yi's zigzag shape of three camps, Wei Feng personally led 30,000 horsemen to block the last two, and the other 10,000 horses cooperated with the Tianjin defenders to besiege Tuobayi's main camp, Tuoba Yi saw that thousands of baggage vehicles were pulled by horses and rolled in, around the camp is building a circular encirclement, extending extremely fast, has been surrounded by half, the car is divided into three, whenever the car stops at the predetermined position, the cavalry retreats a little, cooperates with each other, and actually gives people a seamless feeling.
The eldest grandson Fei hurriedly said: "King Wei, the encirclement of the Jin army has just been arranged, and the preparations must not be sufficient, you should immediately break through with cavalry, as long as you break his car formation, you should be able to go calmly, otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable!" ”
Tuoba Yi also understood that the stakes were very high, and shouted: "Order, kill all the craftsmen and maids, set fire to the camp, and within half an hour all the horses will come to converge and break through with Lone!" ”
"Yes!" A few pros quickly ran backwards.
Not long after, the three camps were rumbling with hooves, and the Wei soldiers slaughtered their own people like crazy, no matter what kind of concubines and maids, skilled craftsmen, as long as they were not combatants, they were stabbed in the head, and all of a sudden, the blood flowed in the camp!
Tuoba Yi learned a lesson, he would rather kill all these people than any of them fall into the hands of Wei Feng, the most important thing is that he is only 30% sure of breaking through, and then with non-combatants, 20% of the 30% will be reduced!
The shouting and killing gradually stopped, and the sky-high fire ignited in the camp again, and the billowing smoke spread to all sides, and Tuoba Yi anxiously looked at the cavalry who were rushing to converge.
Changsun Yi seemed to have thought of something, and asked, "King Wei, are we going to break through separately or specialize in one place?" ”
Tuoba Yi said without thinking: "The force of the split breakthrough will be dispersed, for the sake of today's plan, we can only concentrate on one place!" As he spoke, he shouted: "Brothers, the safety of Dawei is all related to you, and I hope that you will not retreat and move forward bravely!" Kill! ”
Tuoba Yi's sword was raised high, and the tidal wave of cavalry swarmed out to the right side of the lun, and the ground of more than 30,000 horsemen shook violently!
At this time, Wei Feng, when the fire in the camp was just rising, knew that Tuoba Yi must have the intention of concentrating on breaking through, so he divided the 30,000 cavalry into three, leaving 10,000 to guard in the back village, and the other 20,000 to the left and right, so that there were 15,000 cavalry on the left and right sides to assist the Tianjin defenders in defense, and he himself picked up a direction casually, which happened to be the right side!
Everyone stared closely at the direction where the Wei people were coming, and Wang Daolian suddenly asked: "General, it seems that you haven't seen Tuoba Yi, this person is likely to have mixed into the military formation, don't you want to take him down and force him to go to defend the king?" What would you do if you died in the chaos? ”
Wei Feng spread his hands: "There is no way, it can only be counted as his fate, the reason why I have always besieged and not attacked, is that I have not captured Tuoba Yi in one fell swoop, this person, it is easy to kill and difficult to capture alive, but there is news of Hebei's victory, I can't wait any longer, I learned that Hebei has been lost, Tuoba Yi will inevitably break through at any cost, forget it, look at the will of God, there is a precedent for Tuoba Yi in front, I am afraid that no one in the world dares to call King Wei!" ”
"Hmm!" Wang Daolian nodded.
As soon as Wei Feng's voice fell, the bowstring in front of him made a loud noise, and hundreds of stone bullets and giant arrows were splashed on the Wei people, who were scattered in a straggler line, which could not only avoid being hit by a concentrated blow and die a large area, but also effectively combine movement with assault.
On the long two-mile-long front, the lethality of stone bullets and giant arrows was indeed limited, but as the vanguard advanced, the Divine Arm Crossbow began to fire short arrows.
According to Wei Feng's instructions, Jiang Xuan only left more than 2,000 people to defend the city, and the remaining 12,000 troops were all pulled outside the city, 4,000 people in each of the left and right directions, except for the people who operated the ballistas, the crossbowmen on the right side were about 2,000 people, originally this manpower was not enough, but 15,000 more horsemen were different, including 10,000 crossbow cavalry, 12,000 crossbow crossbows were divided into two groups to fire, each time 6,000 short arrows, today's short arrows are no longer the original iron arrows, but steel arrows, penetration and hardness are more powerful!
The shining silver-gray light poured out, and the Wei army was also shot on his back when he was scattered in a straggler line, and the ground was full of human corpses and horse corpses.
The running speed slowed down, and under the intersecting blows of crossbow arrows, giant arrows and stone bullets, the mortality rate increased significantly, and with the increase in casualties, the range of strikes gradually became concentrated, which formed a vicious circle for the Wei people!
