On the road from Wancheng to Xiangfan, Wang Xian had already led his army to ambush the Northern Qin army here overnight.

But after waiting for a long time, he didn't see the Northern Qin army coming, which made Wang Xian wonder in his heart, could it be that he made a mistake in judgment.

At this time, the Northern Qin army was also complaining, leaving the road and not going, but it needed to cross the mountains and mountains, the infantry went first, and the cavalry stood by.

Yuwen Zhi took advantage of the night to release the news, and then the attendant went all the way north along the path, and finally caught up with the vanguard of Northern Qin.

After Tuoba Yuan, the pioneer of Northern Qin, got the news, he immediately notified the general of Wancheng, Wang Yuanyi of Puyang, and Yuan Yi listened to Yuwenji's opinion, and did not take the main road, and the infantry took the mountain road to aid Xiangyang.

Although Yuan Yi is quite disdainful of Yuwen Zhi, a new celebrity, but Yuwen Zhi has no choice but to rely on the mountain of Yuan Shan, although Yuan Yi is also a member of the Northern Qin clan, but his influence in the court is still far less than that of Yu Wenzhi, so he can only hold Yuan Shan's thigh in exchange for the position of the main general of Wancheng.

The Northern Qin and Southern Qi armies missed it like a god, Wang Xian didn't wait until dawn to wait for the Northern Qin army, and the spies sent out had no trace until ten miles away, Wang Xian had to sigh helplessly, and then withdrew.

After all, Wang Xian didn't dare to stay here for a long time, after all, the grain and grass were all south of Xiangyang, and he traveled lightly, if he encountered any forks, he would regret it too late.

Du Jiong led the army to stare at Xiangyang City, and then paid close attention to the movements in the north, Wang Xian led an army of 20,000 to ambush the main force of Northern Qin.

At this time, the Northern Qin army had suddenly rushed to the outside of Xiangyang City, and Du Jiong's army was caught off guard, and was attacked by Yuan Yi's vanguard Tuoba Yuan from the side.

The state of the Southern Qi army at this time was only to besiege but not attack, and when the reinforcements were defeated, Xiangyang would collapse without attacking.

Therefore, when the generals were unprepared, the Southern Qi army was scattered in an instant, and Chen Kang, who was on the other side, saw this and hurriedly led the army to support Du Jiong.

The soldiers of both sides fought fiercely under the city of Xiangyang, and Yuwen Zhi on the city saw this, and hurriedly ordered Yuan Yi to lead the army out of the north gate and attack the Qi army together.

Although Yuan Yi was a straw bag, he also saw at this moment that the formation of the Southern Qi army was scattered, the foot soldiers were panicked, and the main general was not there, and the dragons were leaderless, so he did not hesitate and led the army out.

Behind him was suddenly attacked by the defenders of Xiangyang, and Chen Kang, who came to support for a while, also lost his ground, and the Qi army's position completely collapsed.

Du Jiong charged forward at this time, leading the elite to block Tuoba Yuan's attack, and then asked Chen Kang to quickly organize an orderly retreat.

Then Du Jiong took 5,000 soldiers to desperately drag the elite of Northern Qin in Tuoba Yuan.

Tuoba had a far-sighted vision of the general, commanded the army to advance and retreat to a certain extent, and couldn't help but love talents, and said: "This Southern Qi general, it's better to surrender to my Great Qin, don't struggle in vain." ”

What responded to Tuoba Yuan was only a cold snort, as well as Du Jiong's arrow.

Far away, this arrow could not threaten Tuoba Yuan, but more just to express Du Jiong's anger.

As the people around him fought less and less, Du Jiong gradually fell into despair.

At this time, Chen Kang had already led the army to withdraw from the battlefield, and although Yuwenzhi ordered the army to pursue, after all, there were not many soldiers in Xiangyang City, so he could not carry out an effective pursuit.

Chen Kang, who escaped, did not have the joy of the rest of his life, but wanted to gather his subordinates and then kill back to rescue Du Jiong.

But the Southern Qi soldiers who had already been killed had broken their courage, but few of them could still pick up arms, and seeing that there was no way, Chen Kang could only lead his troops to retreat to Yiyang.

Du Jiong was surrounded by more than 30,000 people in the center of the battlefield, Tuoba Yuan gradually approached Du Jiong with a chariot, and soon more than 2,000 people still standing in Du Jiong's department were surrounded in a small space, almost unable to move.

Seeing this, Yuwen Zhi couldn't help but applaud, and said: "Tuoba Yuan really deserves to be the heir of the Tuoba family in Liaodong, and the king of Taiyuan in Northern Yan used his troops in the past. ”

Sima Linhai looked at Tuoba Yuan's posture, and he was not the same as Yuwen Zhi, but said perfunctorily: "Wang Xian's main force is not there, the siege is basically recruits, Tuoba Yuan's staff seems to be beautiful, but in fact, it is not Er'er, after all, Wancheng is stationed in the elite of Great Qin, and he has been fighting with Song Wuwei's Xiangfan elite all the year round, it can only be said that Yuan Yi is a straw bag, and taking the Xiangfan elite to the front line can actually be beaten by Wei Ran's newly recruited soldiers to escape." ”

As soon as these words came out, Yuwen Zhi thought about it as well, so he didn't say more.

At this time, Du Jiong saw Tuoba Yuan using the cage combat method, and his heart was relieved. It shows that Chen Kang has led people to retreat.

He was originally a partial general in Jiangling, Chen Kang was the main general, and it was an eternal law that the partial general died as the main general.

Du Jiong raised his arms and shouted at this time: "Brothers, the main force has been withdrawn, everyone kills one and earns another, and rushes with me." ”

Seeing that Du Jiong didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and tried to break through, Tuoba Yuan snorted coldly and ordered the archers to fire ten thousand arrows.

Soon, a large number of Southern Qi soldiers fell, and at this time, there were only more than 600 people left around Du Jiong, who surrounded Du Jiong in the middle, trying to block the arrow array with their bodies.

But everything was in vain, Du Jiong's eyes were bloodshot at this time, watching the robes around him fall one after another, and seeing Tuoba Yuan's arrogant and domineering smile, Du Jiong shouted: "You are a nameless rat, you are the same waste as Yuwenzhi on the city tower, if our Southern Qi Qin King is here, you can only dig a dog hole like Yuwenzhi to escape." ”

When Tuoba Yuan heard this, his face suddenly turned cold, and even Yu Wenzhi was cold.

Du Jiong's scolding was really harmful, and he also exposed Yu Wenzhi's shortcomings in public.

Just when Du Jiong was about to be killed, suddenly there was a commotion in the Northern Qin army.

Seeing that the imaginary rain of arrows did not come, Du Jiong was also suspicious, only to see that the Northern Qin army suddenly turned around at this time.

It turned out that after Wang Xian withdrew his troops, he learned that there were many Northern Qin troops outside Xiangyang City, and Wang Xian guessed that the Northern Qin army must have other roads leading to Xiangyang and did not take the official road.

Wang Xian then sent a vanguard to spy on the military situation, only to learn that there was no Qi army under Xiangyang City, but the Qin army used the cage tactics, guessing that there must be a robe trapped in the formation.

Therefore, Wang Xian did not hesitate and ordered the elite cavalry to take the lead.

It was also the blessing of God, Tuoba came from far away over the mountains and there was no cavalry, and the only chariot was also used to besiege Du Jiong, so Wang Xian's cavalry troops were like walking on the ground in the Northern Qin army.

Chen Kang was still not at ease at this time, and sent someone to secretly go to the vicinity of Xiangyang City to inquire about the news, and just happened to see the scene of Wang Xian's cavalry rushing into the Northern Qin army array.

The spy didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly turned back to report the situation to Chen Kang: "General Chen, General Wang seems to have returned from the north and has started a big battle with the Qin army. ”

Chen Kang couldn't sit still at this time, Wang Xian was all up, how could he be greedy, so he hurriedly ordered his troops to assemble and prepare to attack Xiangyang.

Although the soldiers complained, Chen Kang did not allow anyone to disobey the military order at the moment, but just shouted: "General Du is still trapped inside, General Wang Xian has led his troops to rescue, I will fight back at this time, but the battle will be successful." ”

After speaking, he didn't care about the people, and directly led the troops to the Xiangyang battlefield.

Yu Wenzhi, who was above the city tower, saw a Southern Qi army coming from the north, and judged that it was yesterday's ambush.

So he hurriedly said to Tuoba Yuan: "General Tuoba, this is the elite of Southern Qi, yesterday should have been an ambush overnight, and now although the combat power is strong, it will inevitably be tired after a long battle." ”

Yuwen Zhi's original intention was to let Tuoba Yuan not be afraid, just concentrate on the enemy.

But as soon as these words came out, Tuoba Yuan suddenly wanted to scold his mother. Wang Xian's ambush soldiers did not rest all night, and his army also rushed here all night.

When fighting against the Southern Qi army, it was already the end of the crossbow, and the cage battle method just now was also a game, and the soldiers were all relaxed.

Now that the spirit is suddenly lifted, the soldier is even more tired.

Tuoba Yuan then sent a message to Yu Wenzhi: "Our army is lightly armed and comes from the mountains, and the soldiers are tired, and they must not fight for a long time. General Yuwen quickly opened the city gate, and we slowly pushed into the city, otherwise if the Southern Qi army that had just retreated came back, the consequences would be unimaginable. ”

Yuwenzhi quickly figured out the joints, so he ordered Sima Linhai to lead 5,000 out of the city to meet Tuoba Yuan into the city.

Wang Xian also saw that the combat strength of the Northern Qin soldiers was not very good as before, so he judged that this army would inevitably be tired of trekking through mountains and rivers, and his own side still had spare strength.

Therefore, the drums were beaten loudly, and the morale of the Southern Qi army was high, and the Northern Qin army was quickly compressed to the city of Xiangyang.

Du Jiong seized the opportunity to lead more than 200 people to break through and successfully rendezvous with Wang Xianjun.

Chen Kang also came from the east to kill the generals at this time, and under the double blow, the Northern Qin army was even more panicked, and there were countless people who trampled on each other.

Fortunately, at this time, the gate of Xiangyang City opened, and Sima Linhai came out with a fresh army, so that Tuoba Yuan's troops could stabilize their positions, and then Sima Linhai ordered Tuoba Yuan to lead the army into the city slowly, and he personally postponed it.

Wang Xianjun was also exhausted at this time, so he did not dare to act rashly in the face of Sima Linhai's new army, so he had to watch the Northern Qin army enter the city.

Wang Xian hung his head on the horse, and was annoyed: "This is a God-given opportunity, but it's a pity that our army is tired, otherwise this is a good time to break through Xiangyang." ”

Du Fusang hurriedly said at this time: "General, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and there are not no capable people in Northern Qin. Now that the Northern Qin army has entered Xiangyang, the defenders in the city are afraid that there will be no less than 40,000. Our army has been unable to seek, and the top priority is to retreat to Yiyang, organize the troops and horses, and then assist the King of Qin to quickly quell the rebellion. Then turn around and go to Xiangfan again. ”

Hearing this, Wang Xian nodded slightly, and then led the army back.

Yu Wenzhi was also relieved when he saw Wang Xian withdrawing his troops.

Tuoba Yuan walked up to the city tower at this time and said to Yuwen Zhi: "General Yuwen was really killed by Wei Ran, just now the elite of the Southern Qi Dynasty arrived, and he didn't dare to fight to the death when he came in." Let me lose many parts for no reason. ”

For Tuoba Yuan's complaints, Yuwen Zhi was mentally prepared, so he just said lightly: "General Tuoba General, this general is really more than enough but not enough, I only brought 8,000 men and horses here, and I lost 3,000 on the way, and the city is actually Yuan Yi's troops, and the combat power is vulnerable." In order to let General Tuoba enter the city, I have sent all the elites. ”

Tuoba Yuan also knew that what Yu Wenzhi said was not unreasonable, so he could only sulk alone.

He is the eldest son of the Liaodong Tuoba clan, after the Northern Yan was destroyed by the Northern Qin, the Tuoba clan was ordered by Yuan Jian to pacify the land of Liaodong because of the meritorious service of the city.

This time, at the invitation of the imperial court, he led the Liaodong Army into the customs.

In order to win over the Tuoba clan, Yuan Shan even ordered Yuan Zhi to make the current head of the family, Tuoba Jun, the king of Liaodong.

As the eldest son, Tuoba Yuan can also inherit the king of Liaodong in the future, so he despises Yuwenzhi quite lightly. Even Wancheng is too guarded by Yuanyi, and he doesn't pay attention to it.

Yuwen Zhi saw that Tuoba Yuan was a little unconvinced, and then Gonghuo said: "Don't be angry, when the follow-up army comes, we will attack Yiyang, and then give the prince a fierce breath." ”

Tuoba Yuan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he suddenly said with a smile: "Also, how did I forget, the Qi army is definitely going to retreat to Yiyang, and at that time, not a single piece of armor will be left behind them." ”

Then Tuoba Yuan said jokingly: "Before, the general of the Qi army said that you were beaten by Wei Zhi's son and ran away? Is this true? ”

Yu Wenzhi scolded secretly in his heart, but he still said with a smile on his face: "There is no such thing, although it is a little embarrassing, but the awakening of drilling a hole to escape." ”

Tuoba Yuan patted Yu Wenzhi's shoulder and said in a pandering manner: "I'll just say, these Qi people can actually talk about kung fu." This Wei Ran's grandfather Wei Xian, when he broke through Pingcheng, also asked my father to kneel in front of the door for a whole day, if I can meet this Wei Ran this time, I will definitely take his head and wash away the family shame. ”

Listening to Tuoba Yuan's bold words, Yu Wenzhi kept thinking in his heart.

The Liaodong Tuoba clan has been restless since the death of the first emperor, and has repeatedly refused to be recruited by the imperial court.

After all, Liaodong is the land of Longxing of Northern Yan, the soldiers are brave in battle, and they are not afraid of death, if Liaodong can be made resentful of Southern Qi, then in the future, the plan to destroy Qi will have a better chance of victory.

Thinking of this, Yuwen Zhi began to look Tuoba Yuan up and down.

To say that this Tuoba Yuan is not a wine bag and rice bag, he often fought with Goryeo when he was in Liaodong, and he was almost invincible, so he developed a kind of self-respecting mentality.

But at this moment, Tuoba Yuan didn't expect that Yu Wenzhi was already thinking about how to let himself die at the hands of Qi people, and at the same time not set himself on fire.

Wang Xian's subordinates who retreated to Yiyang, although their military appearance was complete at this moment, there was no sound.

Because just now, they got a news that Xiao Liang, who was guarding Jiangling, had seized the land of Jiangling in Yingzhou and called himself Liang Guo.

One Southern Qi, three countries. The farce of Xiao Yin being the emperor is not over yet, and Xiao Liang can't wait to become the emperor.

Such a change not only made Wei Ran unexpected, but even Hengzhi in Jiangzhou was shocked.
