When Zeng Hua was holding a meeting at the source of weak Luoshui, Rouran's Batike fled north. In his heart now, there was nothing but remorse, and there was only resentment.

He regretted why he was dizzy and followed the south to "hunt", but Mao didn't catch a single one, but instead left all his 70,000 elites in Shuozhou and Monan. It would be great if I knew a little more about the details of Beifu, and I wouldn't have led the troops south so recklessly to hit a big nail; If he could not listen to Tuoba Shi Yijian's nonsense, he fought in Wuyuan and Shuofang in Shuozhou for five months, from the East Hetao to the West Hetao, and the final result was that his 70,000 iron horsemen became less than 1,000 now; If he saw that the situation was not good in July and immediately got out, he would at least be able to keep half of the soldiers and horses, and he would not be like now that all his old books were folded in the south of Heshuo Desert.

But the only thing he didn't regret was why he was greedy in the first place, and he couldn't withstand Tuoba Shi Yijian's agitation for the temptation of the "Flower World" in the south.

Bati's resentment towards Tuoba Shiyijian's stomach now, if he hadn't bewitched and "seduced" himself, he wouldn't have easily gone south, 70,000 elite cavalry, although not all the men and horses of the Rouran headquarters, but also the main force of the Rouran headquarters, were all lost in Monan Heshuo. What will you use to suppress those Ele and Donghu Xianbei tribes at that time? These people are not fuel-efficient lamps, if you don't have a strong force to suppress them, give them some sunshine and they will make a sunny day for you.

However, he no longer resented, although Tuoba Shi Yijian's troops were less than 3,000 left, and they also fled north in a hurry, but they were still twice as many as his own remnants. I can't beat it if I want to.

After a while, Bati regretted that he hadn't killed Tuoba Shi Yijian when he was crossing the Yin Mountains.

When he fled north to Yinshan five days ago, he still had more than 20,000 people under his command, but Tuoba Shi Yijian only had 10,000 people, and he was fully capable of eating Tuoba Shi Yijian, and he had this evil breath. But at that time, Bati was completely immersed in a mood of lamentation and grief.

Bati just lamented that in the beginning of spring in April, he led 100,000 iron horsemen to pass Yin Mountain, and for a while the flag was in the sky. Iron hooves shook the ground. It stretches for more than 100 miles. Dozens of miles across the camp. He whipped on the Yin Mountain and pointed directly at Shuozhou, full of spirit, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains seemed to be held in his hands, as long as he gave an order, 100,000 iron horsemen could immediately step through Hengshan, forcibly cross the river, and occupy all the Central Plains flower world.

And five days ago, when the north escaped through Yinshan. Although it is also Wanmadu Yin Mountain, it is running for his life, which is completely different from the original guidance. Bati frequently looked back at Shannan and kept sighing, why was he so miserable? Did tens of thousands of his sons and daughters bury their bodies in a foreign land like this?

While Bati was still there "sentimental", a cavalry quietly appeared outside the camp of the Rouran coalition army.

At that time, the Rouran coalition army thought that they had escaped the pursuit of the Shuozhou Beifu army, and they camped and rested in the valley and river more than 200 miles east of Nanbed Mountain. At that time, the camp of the Rouran coalition army was full of mourning, and the whole coalition army was mourning the defeat of the past and not long ago. The tragic battlefield that I always think about in my horror dreams. Still grieving the loss of relatives and friends forever. The moonlight was darkened in the mourning of the crowd, and the autumn wind, which had begun to turn cold, choked even more in the low sobs of the crowd.

And at this time, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly tore through the silence of the night. The light of the fire shook back and forth outside the camp, and then countless rockets flew through the black curtain and flew in, and soon the camp was lit with a sky-high fire.

In the midst of the fire, the Rouran coalition did not know how many enemies were coming, and they looked for their leader in the firelight, their mounts in the firelight, and the enemies who attacked them in the firelight.

The enemy came violently, like a pack of wolves breaking through the hedge, waving their sabers and flickering in the firelight, and they jumped out from behind the flickering fire, from the darkness of the night, splitting the void with their sabers, and bare the ground. Their eyes are as vicious as their sabers, and as long as they are targeted by the eyes that gleam in the night or in the firelight, it means that they are targeted by death, and the wielded saber is like the scythe in the hand of death, quietly but quickly cutting away the life that was still alive just now.

Leaving behind the smell of blood in the night or in the firelight, and a dying life slowly struggling in wailing, the enemy disappearing with a cold wind behind the fire and night, just as they had before they appeared.

The Rouran coalition spent the night in a panic, like a year in hell. When the sun rises, the land falls silent, with no enemies and no killing, only death and pain. The living soldiers of the Rouran Coalition looked up at the rising sun, and many of them couldn't help but burst into tears. On that night they lost almost a third of their comrades and all their courage.

When they packed up and continued on the road, the cavalry slowly appeared in the sight behind them, unhurried, not far or near, and the experienced Rouran cavalry understood at once that they were being targeted by wolves, and their way home from the north would be full of hardships and blood.

Soon, their guesses turned out. Every time they were exhausted, or when they were on guard, the wolves would roar and "gently" tear off a piece of meat in the ranks fleeing north. This cavalry didn't want to swallow the entire Rouran coalition army that fled north, they were not in a hurry, they followed very patiently, and they would rush up at the first opportunity, twenty or thirty people were not too little, one or two thousand people were not too much, so they beat the Rouran army to only more than 1,000 people, and the Tuoba Xianbei army should be clever and more closely guarded, so there were still more than 3,000 people left.

Ye Lixun's 10,000 cavalry left more than 20,000 coalition soldiers, and also dispelled the idea of Bati looking for Tuoba Shiyijian to settle accounts.

Bati was full of remorse, and Tuoba Shi Yijian was even more remorseful.

He didn't expect that his carefully planned plan would be so full of loopholes, and that the 100,000 iron horsemen he had carefully organized would be so vulnerable.

Tuoba Shiyijian stood there on horseback, he knew that life would be even more difficult after returning to Mobei, and he also knew that the Rouran Khan Bati not far away hated him so much. I can't wait to kill all the Tuoba tribes and cut myself with a thousand knives to solve his hatred. But Tuoba Shi Yijian didn't care about that, he was carefully reviewing what had happened in the past five months, and he had to try to figure out the key to this, so that he could do the best

Decided, Tuoba Shi Yijian didn't want Tuoba Xianbei to be cut off in his hands

As soon as he recalled the past war, Tuoba Shi Yijian couldn't help but think of the scene in Shuozhou.

The Rouran coalition army has 30,000 cavalry of Tuoba Xianbei and 70,000 cavalry of Rouran's headquarters. A total of 100,000. With Tuoba Shi Yijian as the main commander. Bati is the deputy marshal, the main force of the southbound army, and there are also nearly 40,000 servants of the Ele and Donghu Xianbei servants. However, these 40,000 servants, Tuoba Shi Yijian and Bati, have long regarded it as cannon fodder.

Tuoba Shi Yijian ordered these 40,000 servant troops to attack Yunzhong County first, in order to attract the attention of the Beifu army and cover the main army's attack.

When the servant army "happily" rushed into the Yunzhong defense line composed of 30,000 Beifu cavalry and 50,000 Beifu infantry troops, Tuoba Shi Yijian led 100,000 iron cavalry to attack Xianyang City in Donghetao, Wuyuan County, Shuozhou, preparing to break through here in one fell swoop. Then cross the river and go south.

The lack of cattle and sheep along the way has already made Tuoba Shi Yijian realize that something is wrong, this Beifu army is probably prepared, and the city in front of it may not be easy to attack.

Indeed, after Tanma reported that the Rouran coalition forces had begun to move south, Xie Ai ordered all the troops north of Shuozhou and south of Yinshan to withdraw to Henan. This Shuozhou Hebei land originally left only the Xiang army and the government soldiers to graze in the military camp, and they drove the cattle and sheep back to the city with an order, and actually turned more than 1,000 miles south of Yinshan into a prairie without a single cow or sheep.

This is Tuoba Shiyi's masterpiece. Now it is being used by Xie Ai to deal with Tuoba Shi Yijian. However, this trick does have an effect. The Rouran coalition army went south to make a fortune. In their imagination, Yinshan Nan should be full of cattle and sheep all over the mountains, and there are thousands of people waiting for them to comeThe government has seized the past. Tuoba Shi Yijian has generously declared that it is all enemy funds in the enemy area, and allows the officers and men of the coalition forces to "ask for and receive".

But after passing the Yin Mountain, don't say that the herds of cattle and sheep, even the cow and sheep on the ground are not fresh. Due to the fact that the coalition forces were not prepared, there were not many cattle and sheep with them, so they could only fight quickly. Tuoba Shi Yijian ordered the army to attack the city of Xianyang day and night, but the divine arm crossbow, bed crossbow, and stone cannon on the city tower formed a network of crossfire from far and near, so that the Rouran coalition army suffered heavy losses before it approached the city.

It was easy to get to the bottom of the city and set up a ladder, and countless arrows and stones made the ladder up and down like a torrential rain, and the allied army had to pay the price of blood for climbing each ladder. For the siege, the Rouran coalition army is not professional at all, in the absence of special siege equipment and no special siege training, the Rouran coalition army is no matter how many fierce generals, no matter how many elite soldiers, even if there are wise men like Tuoba Shi Yijian and Xu Qian, there is nothing to do.

A mustache of courage was shattered by sharp arrows under the castle tower, and the surging blood was poured cold by the pouring stones. Countless warriors of the steppe drank their hatred under the towering walls, and the bows and arrows and sabers that once shot eagles and killed wolves were broken in front of strong fortifications.

Xianyang City was backed by the river and relied on the pontoon bridge behind it to get a steady stream of support, so when the Rouran coalition army became more and more tired, the Beifu army became more and more courageous.

The Rouran coalition army suffered a setback under Xianyang City for more than 20 days, and found nothing but more than 10,000 corpses. Tuoba Shi Yijian had no choice but to send the order to Guyang, he did not believe that the Beifu army would have such a strong and adequate defense in every city in Shuozhou and Hebei.

But after more than ten days of cruel facts and 5,000 corpses under the city, Tuoba Shi Yijian understood that Guyang was also so strong. At this time, Tuoba Shiyijian found that from Xianyang and Guyang in the East Hetao to Jiuyuan, Wuyuan, Yiliang, Chengyi, and Anyang in the Middle Hetao, and then to Gao and Linwo in the Houhetao, these cities in Shuozhou and Hebei are backed by the river, and there is a pontoon bridge behind them. Relying on these pontoon bridges, no matter which city the Rouran coalition army attacked, Beifu could quickly send a steady stream of materials and reserves gathered in Henan, and as long as the city was not broken, the pontoon bridge hidden behind the city would not be cut off. Therefore, no matter how the Rouran coalition army attacked, it could not make the city exhausted.

Knowing this, Tuoba Shi Yijian finally understood what kind of situation he was in now. The opponent's Beifu coach Xie Ai very skillfully applied the river water natural insurance. Xie Ai had already ordered that all the boats of the Shuozhou River be collected and all of them were gathered on the south bank, so except for the pontoon bridges behind each city, the Rouran coalition army wanted to cross the river unless they swam over.

In the absence of boats, it was very difficult for most of the Rouran coalition forces who were not accustomed to water to cross the river en masse, and there were cavalry and infantry patrols on the south bank day and night, and they reacted immediately when there was any movement. Tuoba Shi Yijian once made an attempt, he sent 5,000 men to "smuggle" the river at night, but less than 1,000 people swam past and were discovered. I saw countless Beifu infantry troops arriving quickly in horse-drawn carts, and thousands of cavalry troops also came to whistle, and the coalition soldiers who crossed the river around these "lucky" but became infantry were in a fight, and soon settled the more than 1,000 coalition soldiers. The coalition soldiers behind dared to continue to swim forward, so they had to flee back in panic.

Tuoba Shi Yijian didn't dare to make such an attempt again, Xu Qian had already reminded him that Beifu had concentrated at least 100,000 cavalry and 200,000 infantry in Shuozhou, in addition to the defense of the nine cities in Hebei, Beifu had nearly 200,000 mobile troops, plus the land of Henan was also extremely flat, and the soldiers and horses were mobilized quickly. And except for the Houhetao, where there are two rivers, there are only so many sections that can cross the river smoothly. If Tuoba Shi Yijian insisted on crossing the river, then it was very likely that these 100,000 iron horsemen would be annihilated by Beifu divided into two parts. You must know that people can barely swim across the river, and it is even more difficult for horses to swim through the mighty river with them. And the coalition cavalry without mounts is like a wolf without minions.

Tuoba Shi Yijian finally understood that summer provided fertile fodder and a river water risk. Tuoba Shi Yijian, who had nothing to do, had no choice but to take the coalition army to Wuyuan City to call for battle, but Xie Ai gladly responded to the battle.

What was originally an expected victory turned into bad news that can never be erased, and all those who are still alive can't help but shudder when they think of the battle under Wuyuan Castle.

Whether it was Tuoba Shi Yijian, Bati or ordinary cavalry, they would never forget that day.
