The distance from Heyang South City to Kim Yong City is not too far, and in order to deal with all kinds of sudden variables and be able to reinforce all sides in time, Zhu Hunyuan has always kept an elite cavalry ready to enter the battle at any time.

When he knew the enemy's movements at this time, even if Zhu Hunyuan gave the order to attack, but in order to avoid this being a suspicious tactic and neglected the other, Zhu Hunyuan did not attack in person this time, but only ordered his cronies to lead his troops to go, and ordered that no matter what happens, he must bite this enemy cavalry to the death, and do not let it go to all sides.

After the general received the order, he should lead the troops to set off. By the time they reached Kim, the enemy had already entered Nakbei through the Naksu pontoon, but instead of heading straight for Kim, they headed northwest.

"Attack! The king has an order, and this thief army must not be let go! ”

Seeing that the enemy's movements did not meet the prediction of the main general, the cavalry general couldn't help but be stunned, but he didn't think much else, and even gave the order to rush straight towards the enemy formation.

"Follow the flag, don't fall in love!"

When Li Tai heard the sound of horses' hooves rushing in the direction of Kim Yong Castle on the side, he did not hesitate, and even ordered his troops to speed up their march and follow the valley of the Qianshui River all the way north to the mountains and wilderness.

The two sides chased and fled, and in a blink of an eye, they traveled more than ten miles, and as they gradually entered the mountains and forests, the river gradually tightened, and the vegetation on both sides became more and more dense.

Because the elite cavalry of the Qi army was ready for battle, many soldiers were armored, and the Western Wei men and horses had no intention of fighting at all, so there was a gap in the speed of marching between them, and the distance gradually widened.

However, as the mountain road gradually became more rugged, the advance speed of the Western Wei people also slowed down. Seven or eight miles ahead, although there are still clear and changeable roads, it is difficult to gallop across the rugged road.

At this time, the Qi army chasing after the rear road finally approached, and began to gather momentum to prepare to attack the back road of the Western Wei people.

However, at this time, the flags on both sides of the mountains suddenly spread out and the drums and horns sounded in unison, and the ambush soldiers who had already been preset here condescendingly shot towards the Northern Qi men and horses in the river valley.

The sudden occurrence of variables naturally shocked the Qi army, but because the river valley here is still wide, and there are many soldiers who are armored, although they were ambushed, there were no major casualties immediately.

Of course, riots are always inevitable, and under the shock, many Qi soldiers subconsciously turned their horses and fled, or rushed left and right, and a series of stampedes inevitably occurred.

"Don't panic, don't panic! The number of enemy ambushes is small, quickly form a formation and kill the enemy! ”

The rider was also quite flustered at first, but it didn't take long to find that although there was a lot of noise on both sides of the river valley, there were not many arrows actually fired, and they were quite far away from the river bank, and their lethality was very limited.

Hearing this reminder from the commander-in-chief, the other soldiers also quickly noticed this, and they were busy restraining their troops, and gradually let the riot subside, and the soldiers who rushed to the front took the initiative to dismount and line up, and the war horses were pulled to the rear, and soon put on a battle formation combining foot and horse, which shows that they are also experienced in combat and well-trained elites in a hundred battles.

Li Tai didn't know that Han Xiong and the others had already arrived and made such an arrangement, but after seeing this, he was immediately overjoyed, and he ordered the men and horses in front to avoid on both sides of the road and immediately dismount and put on armor, while the light cavalry on the back continued to advance inward, and soon completed the switching of the infantry and cavalry battle formation, and then led his troops to kill from the inside along the river valley.

At this time, the pursuers of the Northern Qi Dynasty were forming a formation on the bank of the river, and seeing that the Wei army was approaching, they met it with a foot formation, and at the same time, the rear cavalry interspersed along the inside and outside of the river valley to ensure that the rear road would not be blocked by ambushes, and they were ready to fight and retreat.

Soon the infantry soldiers on both sides fought together, each of them was an elite group, and the battle situation was a little stalemate for a while.

As the main attacking party, the Jingzhou army struggled to slash and kill the enemy in front of them, but under the stubborn resistance of the Qi army, it was difficult to break through the enemy's battle formation for a while. As the infantry battle situation was stalemate, both sides invariably attacked the flank of the enemy's infantry formation with fine cavalry, and of course it was inevitable that the cavalry would fight together.

Li Tai did not personally enter the battle to kill the enemy this time, but joined Han Xiong and others who entered the ambush and responded in the rear, Han Xiong said with shame: "After the last general got General Wei to pass on the general's order, he immediately led his troops from Xin'an to the north, and the front arrived at Biling the front before yesterday, but because the army was outnumbered, he could only bluff and failed to ambush the army. ”

"General Han doesn't have to mind, I know that your people have been in a very difficult situation in recent years. I am very grateful to be able to come and cooperate this time, so that I can enter the thief realm and avoid bullying! ”

After Li Tai heard Han Xiong say this, he smiled and comforted him.

In fact, this meeting did not go through careful discussion in advance, but after Li Tai formed an idea, he asked Wei Xuan to report to Han Xiong, but even if his men and horses could successfully and timely arrive at Qianshui, he actually couldn't guarantee it. Despite this, Han Xiong still led his troops without hesitation, which was naturally because he had great trust in Li Tai.

"Alas, when the general said this, the last general was even more ashamed. In the old years, the general entered the country to fight thieves and made brilliant achievements, although the situation was no longer the best because of the mediocrity on the day of departure, but he still did not lose the room for business maintenance. However, the Eastern Thieves made a comeback, and the last generals lost their ground and retreated again and again, and all the newly recovered lands fell......"

When Han Xiong said this, his expression was even more lost.

Li Tai saw that his beard was gray and his body was much thinner than when he was separated before, it can be seen that he has been quite tormented in the past few years, and he even made no secret of his contempt for Zhao Gui and Yuwen Hu, who were defeated here before, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and then said: "Although General Han and others are heroes of one place, the thieves are attacked by the strength of the whole country, and it is understandable that they are outnumbered and defeated. ”

As he spoke, there was a sudden thunderclap in the sky, as if it was going to rain. Li Tai took a look at the battle situation in the valley ahead, and the fighting spirit of both sides was also very tenacious, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to end the battle in a short time.

Thinking that the soldiers arrived here day and night, the physical exertion must have reached a limit, if the battle continued in the rain, I am afraid that there will be diseases under the freezing of the autumn rain, even if the army carries enough medicines to deal with the epidemic and cold, it will inevitably greatly affect the next action, so Li Tai wanted to end this battle as soon as possible.

However, seeing that the enemy army is still fighting bravely, Li Tai also has to sigh that these Northern Qi troops have a strong fighting spirit, they have been ambushed and intimidated before, but they can still maintain their fighting spirit after slowly turning around, and they are indeed very difficult opponents.

Just looking at the bravery of the enemy, it may be difficult to end the battle quickly. Han Xiong was only a few hundred soldiers here, and most of them were lightly armed and unarmoured, so even if they were in battle, it would not be of much help.

The thunder in the sky is getting louder and louder, and it is accompanied by lightning, and the whole sky is overcast, which is very rare in late autumn. THINKING OF THE EXPERIENCE OF THE WESTERN WEI EXPEDITION IN HISTORY, LI TAI COULDN'T HELP BUT BE A LITTLE SUSPICIOUS, COULD IT BE THAT THIS KIND OF WEATHER IS ALSO THE WEATHER BUFF THAT COMES WITH GAOYANG'S DESTINY?

However, after a little muttering, Li Tai still decided to brush this layer of BUFF on himself, and he ordered Zhang Shinu to lead more than a hundred black-robed strong soldiers to the top of the mountain rock near the battlefield, taking advantage of the thunder and lightning roar, and shouted loudly below: "This is the mausoleum of Emperor Xuanwu of Great Wei Shizong, and you and other thieves are chasing after the traitors of the Gao clan and rebelling against Wei, and Emperor Xuanwu is angry!" General Li inherited the mandate of heaven, crusaded against thieves, and thundered to help fight and kill stubborn thieves! ”

Li Tai didn't lie, the upper reaches of the Qianshui River were indeed the Jingling of Emperor Xuanwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty. In the old year, when Duguxin recovered Luoyang, Yuwentai took the emperor's ingots torch back to worship the ancestors, just as Hou Jing led his troops to capture Kim Yong City, and then Yuwentai hurriedly went to meet Hou Jing, and then triggered the Battle of Heqiao.

It is an eternal truth to be a thief, even if there is a thief, there is a way to do this, but why not just say "thieves have a way"? It shows that thieves are still unethical things after all, Gao Yang steals the country, and the group is a thief, at least before its monarchy is shaped, this kind of psychology is also universally inevitable.

Although it is said that the change of power in the troubled times of the Northern and Southern Dynasties is just ordinary, but the national glory of the Northern Wei Dynasty for so many years has finally created a certain orthodoxy, so when they heard the shouts of these Wei soldiers accompanied by thunder, the Northern Qi people in the valley who were still insisting on stubborn resistance gradually panicked in their hearts.

There were gods three feet above their heads, and the thunder and lightning above their heads were like the heavens condemning them over and over again, so gradually some soldiers lost their courage and began to drag their swords and flee to the rear. As a result, panic spread rapidly in the battle array.

Although the general was also trying his best to maintain the battle formation, he was not Xue Guyan who dared to fight against the heavenly thunder after all, he could only watch the military formation gradually collapse and collapse, and he could only lead his own soldiers to quickly leave the battlefield, hoping to collect the defeated in the rear, and then continue to fight back.

Seeing the rout of the enemy army, Li Tai secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then ordered five hundred elite horsemen to chase and kill. As for the soldiers who had retreated from the battlefield, they rested in place for a while, and then began to retreat into the river valley, and began to set up camp in a busy manner.

If this is the case, it is not a good story to outsmart the enemy. However, as the enemy retreated, the thunder and lightning roar in the sky gradually stopped, and the originally thick clouds slowly dispersed, and even a piece of sunset light fell in the valley.

Li Tai couldn't help but complain a few words in his heart when he saw the abnormal and extreme changes in the weather, but even though he noticed that Han Xiong's eyes looking at him were faintly different, there was a little surprise in his awe.

Seeing the change in Han Xiong's eyes, Li Tai's heart couldn't help but move, this old brother shouldn't think that Tianlei was summoned by himself to retreat from the enemy just now, right?
