Another Farewell on the Fifth Night (2)

Mengkeng is a loess gully in the east-west direction, 30 miles long, 1 mile wide, located in the south of Xiangfen County in Linfen City, Shanxi Province today, the east is next to the Qiao Mountain with an altitude of more than 1,000 meters, and the end of the west is the firewood wall where Yao Ping is located. If Yao Xing didn't want to be attacked by the Northern Wei army when he crossed the Fenshui, he could only choose this route.

The difference between the elevation of the high ground on both sides of this gully and Mengkeng is about 100 meters, although it is not convenient for marching, but the slope is not very large, which is just suitable for cavalry to ambush the slope and attack.

Tuoba Jue waited for Yao Xing's army to enter the middle of Mengkeng, and when Chai Bi was in sight, he let tens of thousands of elite horsemen charge from all directions. As soon as the charge passed, Yao Xing's army collapsed in an instant, and it was clear that the firewood wall was in sight, but it was difficult to advance an inch, so he had to turn around and flee, with countless casualties.

As for Chaibi, Yao Ping naturally heard the sound of killing on Mengkeng's side, but because he didn't know the situation outside, he didn't dare to rashly go out of the city to meet the Northern Wei army, which was actually small in number, and missed the opportunity.

At this point, even if the Later Qin army Yao Xing and Yao Ping could merge together, they would no longer be the opponents of the Northern Wei Dynasty. It's just that Yao Xing was still unwilling to be surrounded by the 40,000 army that was given to Tuoba Jue in vain, so he took the remnants back to the west bank of Fenshui and looked across the river from Chaibi.

Tuoba had already taken advantage of the situation to retrieve the Qianbi fortress and obtained enough baggage and grain and grass, so he was not in a hurry to attack again. After all, for the nomads, the population is far more scarce than the grain and grass, so he plans to drag down the Yao Pinghou Qin army, which is short of food and grass in Chaibi City.

The Dream Men of the East Sea Team continue to fart and chat every day with nothing to do, and when they come to this battle, they have only made a brief attack in Mengkeng once so far. Moreover, the nomadic way of fighting was carried out, and the battle lasted only half an hour. The Northern Wei army won cleanly, and the Later Qin army fled cleanly, without too much entanglement at all.

In this way, according to Xiaofeng, fortunately, he sent troops out of the city on Thursday night to fight with the Duzhou Mansion Army, otherwise his and Wuyang's skill proficiency would really be far away.

was dragged by Tuoba Jue like this, the time entered the tenth month of the lunar calendar, and Yao Ping, who was so hungry that he almost killed the horse, was finally ready to break through, but because he couldn't get in touch with Yao Xing on the other side of the Fenshui, he could only hope that his brothers would have a good enough tacit understanding.

However, in fact, their brothers did not have the expected tacit understanding, Yao Ping did not know that Yao Xing's strength was greatly damaged in the battle of Mengkeng, and he could not break through the Northern Wei defense line to rescue at all, and he thought that he was not Tuoba Jue's opponent, so he cowered and did not dare to take the initiative.

Late that night, he asked his soldiers to shout loudly on the city wall, posing as if they were ready to break through at any time, but there was no actual action.

Yao Xing on the other side heard the noise here, and also thought that his younger brother was about to break through, although he could no longer give strong support in action, but spiritual support was always possible, so he also let his soldiers cooperate with the flag and shout.

On this night, in the dream, the people heard the vigorous shouting and killing sound everywhere on both sides of the Fenshui, but they did not see a single enemy, and they were depressed all night.

At dawn, everyone found out that there was no rain at all last night, and everyone shouted hoarsely and there was no record of fighting. At this time, no matter how stupid Yao Ping was, he knew that Yao Xing was powerless to help him break through the siege, so he finally chose to commit suicide by throwing himself into the water.

The remnants of the more than 30,000 Later Qin troops in Chaibi City were leaderless at this time, and under the coercion and temptation of the envoys sent by Tuoba, they immediately decided to go out of the city and surrender. Anyway, there are not only Tuoba Xianbei people under Tuoba Jue, but also Dugu Huns, Helan Huns, mixed-race Tiefu people, and even Han people, so it is not bad plus some Later Qin and Qiang people, which can be regarded as inclusive and national unity.

However, in this harmonious environment, the dreamer found a scene that was not very happy - the South China Sea team appeared in the surrendered army.

The East China Sea team was able to find the opponent, and the South China Sea team naturally saw Sima Fuqiang and Huang Zhi and others standing side by side with the generals of the Northern Wei Dynasty. But there was no trace of panic on Jia Junshi's face, as if their South China Sea team was the victor.

I never thought that the South China Sea team would choose such a roundabout route to join the Northern Wei camp, although their status could not pose any threat to the East China Sea team, but in the same camp, there will be many more days of meeting in the future, and it is inevitable that some accidents and bumps will occur.

"They must be eliminated" Huang Zhi is rarely so decisive.

"That's certain, even if you violate the international convention for the slaughter of prisoners, you can't let these guys go" Zhang Wei expressed the same opinion, but there didn't seem to be such a thing as an international convention in this era, and it was quite easy for the East China Sea team to use their authority and position in the Northern Wei camp to get rid of the South China Sea team.

Sima Fuqiang didn't say a word, and took the two of them directly to discuss the matter with Tuoba, under the pretext that they had a grudge against the Nanhai team in the past.

"I'm afraid not," Tuoba Jue looked at the three people in front of him with a little apologetic, "If they are ordinary soldiers, forget it, but these people are here to surrender to us on behalf of the Qin army, except for Yao Ping, who has died, they are the most influential in this army." If I kill them, I am afraid that the Qiang people will resist to the death, and my Xianbei Erlang will have to increase many losses in vain. ”

The three stinkers of the East China Sea team frowned when they heard this, it seemed that they still underestimated the ability of Jia Junshi, and the South China Sea team was afraid that they had been in charge of the Hou Qin camp for some time and had become the second-in-command of this army in addition to Yao Ping. This time, they found the right time to join the Northern Wei camp as the leading generals, and they were regarded as people with guns in their hands, so they couldn't afford not to pay attention to them.

No matter how good the relationship between Sima Fuqiang and Tuoba Jue of the East China Sea team was, there was still a relationship between monarchs and ministers after all, and it was impossible for Emperor Daowu to let an army get out of control in order to take care of their emotions. After weighing it repeatedly, Tuoba Jue only comforted them a few words, saying that the East China Sea Team would always be above the South China Sea Team in his mind, but he could not give any operational support, let alone sit back and watch the East China Sea Team privately attack Jia Junshi and others.

Walking out of the Chinese army's tent, Huang Zhi saw from a distance that the Nanhai team was honestly waiting outside, but when they looked at him, their eyes were still full of provocation. Jia Junshi even took advantage of the fact that others were not paying attention, and secretly made a movement to wipe Huang Zhi's neck, which was extremely arrogant.

Huang Zhi, who had achieved a lot of benefits in previous encounters, naturally would not be provoked by the other party so easily, but he was also immediately vigilant, "What is the plan of the South China Sea team?" ”
