Chapter 264: Attack

But how could Li Yue let them retreat so quickly? So Li Yue took out the simple megaphone he had made before, held it to his mouth, and shouted at the Xianbei army that was messing around below, "Xianbei warriors, your general Bahan is here. ”

After shouting a few times, someone finally heard the movement on the hill, looked up in the direction of the sound, and clearly saw that their general Bahan was tied to a tree on the cliff.

When one person saw it, more and more Xianbei soldiers saw it, and then Ba Yu and Hulun, who were in the lead, also saw General Bahan, who was tied to a tree on the mountain.

Of course, everyone also saw the small voice standing next to their general Bahan, the shout just now was made by the man, the figure, the shrill voice when shouting, it was clearly a woman, their general, was actually tied to the top of the mountain by a woman.

The Xianbei soldiers all had red eyes, and the retreat order originally issued by Hulun was a little useless, and many Xianbei soldiers rushed forward with red eyes, shouting in their mouths, "We want to save the general." ”

Ba Yu looked at the people led by Ming Wenli who were about to climb the trail at the top of the mountain, and said to Hulun on the side, "General Hulun, let's let the cavalry retreat one after another, and the infantry be careful, how about climbing up from the trail over there to save the general?" ”

Hulun looked at the Xianbei cavalry in front of him who were in a mess at the mouth of the valley, and then looked at General Bahan who was tied to the mountain, hesitated again and again, and finally couldn't resist the expectant gaze of the Xianbei soldiers, and nodded in response.

Seeing Hulun nodding, Ba Yu said to the Xianbei army who was still at the mouth of the valley and was about to retreat into the valley, "Come with me, advance carefully, go up from the mountain road over there, and save General Bahan." ”

Then the Xianbei army, which had stopped moving, entered the valley where Li Yue had set a trap.

Li Yue looked at General Bahan, who was looking anxious next to him, with a smile on his face, and said with a smile, "Xianbei is really all warriors, look, I know that there are traps in the valley, didn't I also come in." ”

Then General Bahan saw that Bahan and Hulun had entered the valley with all the Xianbei army, and went to the only steep mountain road on that side.

At this time, Hulun and Ba Yu led the infantry to the steep cliff path, and they did not encounter any more attacks or ambushes, Hulun, who had been very careful, breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Ba Yu on the side, "It seems that only hidden weapons and traps against cavalry have been set up in the valley." ”

Ba Yu also breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Everyone speed up, follow me up the mountain and go to General Bahan." ”

Li Yue smiled and said to General Bahan on the side, "It seems that you Xianbei warriors are all well-limbed and simple-minded, so you think there is no ambush?" Then why am I tying you General Bahan here to show off? Is it good-looking? ”

General Bahan's face was already flushed with anger at this time, how could he not know, there must be fraud in this, but he knows best, these Yanxi troops arrived here the night before yesterday, and they stayed here for a whole day and two nights, how could it be that trap? But at this time, he could only watch the Xianbei army step into this ambush circle.

It wasn't until Lin Xiao on the side came over and said to Li Yue, "Basically, they have all entered the valley, and there are almost two thousand cavalry outside. ”

Li Yue nodded and responded, "This valley is really good, the openings on both sides are not big, and it can actually accommodate sixty or seventy thousand people, I don't know how many people will be left in the Xianbei army after this time?" Get ready to get your hands dirty. ”

After speaking, Li Yue took the long flag behind him, stretched it out of the cliff, and waved it.

Then there were stones and wood on the top of the mountain, and they rumbled down the mountain, and the Xianbei army that was densely packed in the valley was a mess, because the Xianbei army was too dense, and those huge stones and wood fell down, and the Xianbei soldiers had nowhere to hide.

Hulun, who had already reached the steep mountain road, dodged the stones and wood thrown down from the mountain, and shouted down, "Archer, archers shoot arrows on both sides of the cliff." ”

At this time, in this situation, the only ones who can really come in handy are the Xianbei archers.

But the Xianbei archers were also in a hurry, and some of them shot a few arrows at the top of the mountain in a panic, shooting from the bottom of the mountain to the mountain, the distance and strength were not enough, but the Yanxi army on both sides was not painful and did not react, but the Xianbei archers exposed their positions, and then the waves of arrows on the mountain shot at the Xianbei archers.

The geographical advantage of the station, coupled with Li Yue's bow and crossbow, the range and strength are completely superior to the Xianbei primitive bow and arrow, the Xianbei army is too dense, and there is no need to deliberately aim, keep shooting in that direction, and the arrow will not miss.

And just when the Xianbei army was in chaos in the valley, on the mouths of the valleys on both sides, bundles of dry firewood could fall quickly, blocking the openings on both sides.

The more than 2,000 cavalry outside the valley were completely confused, what were they going to do? Hit the horse and rush in to save everyone? Impossible, completely useless. But if you don't save it, will you just watch it?

When they were in a dilemma, a sudden rain of arrows came at them from both sides, and those arrows hit the horses, and they instantly became a mess.

The valley on both sides was blocked with wood and bundles of oiled firewood.

"Withdraw, the rest of the valley retreats." Hulun shouted.

But this chaotic scene, Hulun roared for a long time and then did not move, and when his order finally reached the ears of the Xianbei army behind the valley, the valley mouth on both sides was already full of firewood and wood, and the rockets shot at those firewood, but the valley mouth on both sides had become a sea of fire, and there was no way out of the valley at all.

Li Yue stood on the cliff, accompanied General Bahan to see all this, and waited for the last wave of rocket attack to finish, Li Yue stretched out the flag again and waved, and said to Bahan, "We should also retreat, I don't know how many Xianbei troops will be left this time, and when will the remaining Xianbei army catch up with us?" ”

When Li Yue left this cliff, two soldiers went over, and at the same time escorted Bahan out of the cliff.

Li Yue took 20,000 people and dragged the 80,000 people of the Xianbei army around the border, and then the 80,000 people of the Xianbei army had become 40,000 people, but Li Yue's team still had 17,000 people.

The Yanxi army never fought head-on with the Xianbei army, always fought guerrilla with the Xianbei army, and the Xianbei army was empty of blood and anger, and was bound to fight to the death with the Yanbei army, but the Yanxi army always came in the shadows and did not give the Xianbei army a chance at all.

The Xianbei army has completely lost morale, depressed, and the grain and grass are about to run out, and they want to go to the border villages to rob them, but every time they go to the villages, they are empty villages, and there is nothing, but the Xianbei army is unwilling to retreat, they want to save General Bahan, every time General Bahan is close to them, but every time the rescue fails.

In the end, Hulun was very disappointed and said to Ba Yu, "Our Xianbei army of 300,000, now in addition to the 20,000 troops guarding Yanmen Pass, there are only 40,000 of us, let's withdraw to Yanmen Pass first." ”

Ba Yu looked at Hulun, "But the Khan said that General Bahan must be rescued." ”

Hulun sighed, "We were originally 80,000 people, and if this continues, I'm worried that we won't be able to keep these 40,000 people now." ”

When Li Yue heard that the Xianbei army had retreated to Yanmen Pass, she pursed her lips in disappointment and said, "Why did you withdraw now?" I still want to drag the other 40,000 Xianbei troops away. ”

Su Wu on the side said with a smile, "I'm afraid that we will be scared, what are we going to do now?" ”

Li Yue turned her head to look at Fourth Uncle Mingwenli and asked, "Fourth Uncle, how are the weapons in Linzi County?" ”

"Two batches of throwing trucks have already started to be transported there, and rockets and explosive barrels can also be transported to the border in the next two days." ”

Li Yue said, "That's the case, then let's chase after the victory, it just so happens that the Xianbei army at this time is when morale is low." ”

Ming Wenli nodded and responded, "Okay, then I'll take the cavalry back to Linzi County to ask General Zhou Xiao for instructions, and personally escort the rocket and the explosion barrel over." ”

Li Yue nodded and replied, "Fourth Uncle be careful on the road, by the way, escort Bahan to Linzi County, and then escort back to Yanjing, he really doesn't know Li Yun's whereabouts." ”

In fact, Li Yun's affairs in the Northern Regions are no longer a secret in Yanjing, but Yanxi's side knows that Li Yun disappeared when he went to attack the Xianbei camp, and he didn't think to ask Yanjing's person Li Yun's whereabouts, so Yanxi didn't know about this news.

This also led to Li Yue always thinking that Li Yun had gone to attack the Xianbei camp and disappeared, and it was very likely that he was captured by the Xianbei army, or infiltrated the Xianbei territory so he disappeared, so he took 20,000 people and advanced equipment, as if he was hanging, he laid down the Yanmen Pass, and kept advancing outside the Yanmen Pass, and Yan Shisan sat in Linzi County, sending grain, grass and weapons to Li Yue non-stop.

Li Yue led the Yanxi army, and it only took half a month to sweep through several large tribes on the Xianbei border, and there was a great posture of approaching the Xianbei royal capital.

Lin Xiao and Ming Wenli knew that Li Yue's radical purpose was that she was looking for Li Yun's whereabouts, and when she only arrived at one tribe, she would inquire or force them, but they found nothing.

Then the news finally reached Yanjing.

General Zhou Xiao originally wanted His Royal Highness the Thirteenth to escort the Xianbei General Bahan into Beijing, and also wanted to let His Highness the Thirteenth return to Beijing by the way. If something happens to His Royal Highness the Thirteenth at this border, I am afraid that not only will he not be protected, but it is estimated that he will also be able to affect the Zhou family.

But the thirteenth highness did not leave, and General Zhou Xiao had to send Su Jiayi to escort General Bahan back.

So Su Jiayi was also fortunate to be privately summoned by King Yan.

In King Yan's study, the eldest prince, General Zhou and Yan Jiu were summoned together at this time, and Wu Shangshu and the third prince were now completely lost to King Yan.
