Hongnong is located in the south bank of the Yellow River in the west of the Kuoshan Mountain, called Shaanxi in ancient times, Zhou Gong and Zhao Gong in the Western Zhou Dynasty divided Shaanxi and ruled the world, and now called Shaanxi East and Shaanxi is bounded by this. Later generations also called the powerful local Fangzhen forces as Shaanxi, such as Jingzhou for the Southern Dynasties.

Hongnong City is the old year Wang Sizheng sat in the town at this time to build, later the general Li Yuan and the town here for a long time, the Hongnong City on the basis of the original and expanded, so this city is also quite majestic, can be called the largest military town in the east of Tongguan in the Western Wei Dynasty, for the advance and retreat between the east and the west have great significance.

Previously, the Western Wei army fled in Jiuqu City, Yiyang, and evacuated westward along Nankun Road, and Li Bi, a member of the Zhuguo State stationed in Xin'an, Beikun Road, could only evacuate after hearing the news. Since Li Bi's troops have not yet lost their discipline, the establishment is still complete, and the distance is closer, so they arrived at Hongnong first.

Because he knew that Duguxin and Zhao Gui and his entourage first went west through Hongnong, Li Bi did not stay in Hongnong for more, and placed a part of the grain and grass materials here to collect the rout, and he led his troops directly to Tongguan.

From the retreat of Yiyang to hundreds of miles, and many snow-covered rugged mountain roads, the soldiers of the Western Wei Dynasty only relied on a desire to survive in the hard work. When they came to Hongnong City, which was still stable, most of them were already tired, so they chose to take a break in Hongnong City.

When Yuwen Hu and his entourage helped Yuwentai's coffin to arrive in Hongnong, nearly 20,000 horses had gathered here. After arriving in Hongnong, Yuwen Hu's mood also calmed down slightly from the initial panic, and the rout of the Yiyang army confirmed his uncle's prediction before his death. And the Hongnong defenders reported that Dugu Xin and his party had passed through Hongnong to the west as early as five or six days ago, which made his heart sink even more.

Five or six days is enough time to do a lot of things, even if they run all the way to catch up, it will be difficult to catch up again. Especially now that the army is out of discipline, their strength has been greatly damaged, and if they go to Guanzhong like this, they will not have the strength to control the situation at all.

So after a short discussion, they decided to first assemble 5,000 men and horses among the soldiers gathered in Hongnong, and handed them over to Yuwenhu to lead to continue to Tongguan, while Li Yuan and Wei Chigang stayed in Hongnong, continued to collect the defeated army and resisted the pursuing troops from behind.

However, after Yuwen Hu led the troops to leave, the situation in Hongnong became a little unstable. Before the armies stopped here, it was because the masses were exhausted, and now their physical strength has recovered, of course, it is safer to flee back to Guanzhong Township, and few people are willing to stop and continue to fight the enemy, so many of the armies have secretly fled.

Seeing that repeated orders could not prevent the sergeants from escaping, Wei Chigang simply set up a fence in the western border of Hongnong to intercept them, and all the deserters captured were executed on the spot. After beheading hundreds of deserters one after another, coupled with Li Yuanjiu's town of Hongnong and many ways to appease them, the fleeing momentum of the armies was somewhat restrained.

In the next two days, more than 10,000 troops arrived in Hongnong, and Hongnong's garrison reached nearly 30,000. But these troops are a rabble with lingering fears, and they will need to be reorganized to gradually regain their combat effectiveness, but the enemy will obviously not give them this time.

Hu Luguang, as the vanguard general of the Northern Qi army, led thousands of elite cavalry to chase down the Western Wei rout. He did not kill these scattered disciples along the way, but tried his best to outflank and drive them all the way, maintaining a distance along the way, so that these defeated soldiers could recover some physical strength and continue to flee, but also not recuperate and fight back.

This method of warfare is often used by the grassland cavalry, generally to drive the enemy's herdsmen, cattle and horses to impact the enemy's battle formation, and use these raw mouths and livestock as cannon fodder to consume the opponent's strength and fighting spirit. Especially at the moment when the enemy is engaged, charging behind these people and beasts to scare them away, if the effect is good enough, they can directly crush the enemy's military formation.

Duan Shaohuai had used similar tactics when he fought before, and Hu Luguang had followed his father to fight all sides since he was a child, and he was even more proficient in the use of related tactics.

After hundreds of miles and several days and nights of pursuit, more and more Guanxi soldiers were driven by it, and the group of black oppressors was full of thousands of people, and even the routed troops gathered by many Western Wei generals who recruited the defeated troops along the way could not reach so much.

For these Kansai children, the past few days of fleeing have been like falling into hell

They had to run on the mountain road all the time, and once they stopped on the way, they would be shot by the Qi army rangers who were chasing after them.

Only at nightfall will they be allowed to stop in the snow nest for a short rest for an hour or two, and they are not allowed to light fires to keep warm, but any smoke and fire will also be slaughtered by the Qi army. In this way, there was hunger and cold along the way, but as long as there was still a breath left, they would be driven to continue their journey, and those who had really no strength to go on were all slaughtered by the Qi army.

When these people came to the outside of Hongnong City after all the hardships, and saw that the military flag of their Western Wei side was still fluttering on the city, and there were many armored soldiers standing on the city wall, they couldn't help but cry with joy for a while, but they were finally rescued, and they all got up their strength and ran towards the city gate.

At this time, Hu Luguang, who had been chasing behind unhurriedly, also ordered his subordinates to attack behind the enemy, and made these Western Wei soldiers rush faster through fright. But these soldiers have already run out of oil at this time, and they are all supported by a trace of desire to survive and the illusion of salvation, even if they are rushed and killed again, the speed is really not able to improve.

Hu Luguang naturally did not have mercy on these enemies, holding a horse lance to drive the horse away, all the enemy soldiers who were caught up by his galloping horse were stabbed to death, and some of them were paralyzed on the ground crying and begging, but he also turned a deaf ear, and killed without leaving any hands.

"Don't close the gates, don't! Let the sons and daughters enter the city, let them enter the city......

When they saw the thieves approaching, the generals who defended the city ordered the city gate to be closed, but the soldiers could not bear to close the way of life of the villagers who were only a few steps away from the city gate when they saw the haggard villagers who had fled here.

Since ancient times, Ci did not take charge of the army, and when the defenders of the city were still arguing whether to close the city gate, the enemy cavalry had already rushed to the bottom of the city. Some of the defeated people outside the city were trampled to death by swords and horses on the eve of salvation, and some were scattered on both sides of the city gate by the enemy horsemen, watching the gate of survival slowly closed by the defenders, and these soldiers who were closed outside the city gate all let out a desperate cry.

"Spare your life, spare your life! Surrender, Surrender ......"

Seeing that there was no hope of surviving and entering the city, those desperate Guanzhong soldiers kowtowed and begged for mercy again and again, but they were still greeted by the ruthless blades of the enemy.

"Leave no prisoners behind, storm the gates!"

Hu Luguang's eyes lit up when he saw that the city gate was stuck by the corpses of men and horses piled up in front of the city, and it was not completely closed, so he ordered his subordinates to continue to expel the Guanzhong soldiers who had fled outside the city and rushed towards the city gate.

At this time, many soldiers were already exhausted and paralyzed on the ground, and in order to continue to force the potential of these people, those Jinyang soldiers whipped with horse whips, stabbed with knives and guns, and even trampled on horses. The hot blood of the human body was constantly spraying on the land in front of the city, and even the frozen soil became muddy.

Scenes of torture and killing were staged in front of the city, and the soldiers in the city were completely stunned, seeing that those township sons and sons were dying one by one in a miserable state, and finally the city governor couldn't bear it, brandishing knives and guns and shouting loudly: "The dog thief is brutal, who will follow me to save my son!"

At this time, many soldiers were also carried away by anger, and regardless of the constraints of the military order, they grabbed their weapons and rushed out of the city to fight the Qi army to the death. The gates of the city, which had been half-covered, were opened again, and many soldiers rushed out with a roar.

Seeing the enemy army rushing out of the city, Hu Luguang led his troops to retreat a little, and when there were more enemies rushing out of the city and leaving the city gate for some distance, when he led the disciples to kill back from the side, the killing in front of the city gate suddenly became more tragic.

Li Yuan in the city has yet to organize the army to defend here, but these defeated soldiers in the city will not know the soldiers, and the soldiers will not know the generals, and it will be more difficult to carry out effective dispatch in a hurry.

As the enemy cavalry rushed into the city, Li Yuan could only take his headquarters and fight and retreat, and when he retreated to the west of the city, he was told that Wei Chi Gang led his troops to pull out the gate and fled. After learning of this, Li Yuan also felt that he had no skills to return to heaven, so he could only lead hundreds of soldiers around him to abandon the city and flee.

As the generals fled, the situation in Hongnong City suddenly became more chaotic.

The Guanzhong sergeants who thought they could take a breath in here did not expect to usher in a greater killing, if the Northern Qi army still had some strength in the pursuit process before, but now

Hongnong, who came to the hinterland of the Western Wei Dynasty, was ruthless in the battle, and with Hu Luguang leading his troops to rush back and forth in the city, the entire Hongnong City was almost painted with a layer of blood.

Soon after Hu Luguang invaded the city, Gao Guiyan, the king of Pingqin, also led the rear road successor to Hongnong, and the killing was no longer limited to the city, and the people who fled outside the city were also pursued and killed.

In the evening of the next day, when Duan Shao led the main force to Hongnong, the corpses of Western Wei men and horses were scattered everywhere inside and outside the city, and there were Qi soldiers cleaning the battlefield, collecting the tools and materials thrown by the Wei army, and cutting off all the heads on the corpses and stacking them on the carriage. It's not for merit, but for the sake of building a Beijing view to deter the enemy.

"Why is the king late? Yesterday, Hongnong fought a battle, and Mingyue and I killed more than 10,000 enemies, which is really fast!"

Gao Guiyan, the king of Pingqin, led his troops to greet Duan Shao in front of the city gate, and after meeting, he laughed and said: "Today's Hongnong is both Ke, Tongguan is already in front of you, and Fang Jin's victory is comparable to that of Yiyang?"

Duan Shao didn't respond after hearing this, but when he heard that Hu Luguang had led his troops to continue to Tongguan this morning, he couldn't help muttering: "It's hard to control the teacher, and the disaster is not far ......away."
