The 20,000 elite horsemen of Changsun Cheng and Mai Tiezhu went out from Lintao County, and their goal was to go straight to Mantou City, but if they wanted to take Mantou City, they had to pass through Chishui City.

Chishui City is the source of the Yellow River and is the largest city in the south of Tuguhun King City.

Mantou City, Chishui City, and Shudun City are the three southern parts of the royal city.

After Changsun Cheng first sent 2,000 cavalry troops to harass Chishui City and lure most of its main force out of the city. Then, in a river valley, with the superiority of troops, they formed an encirclement and annihilated 4,000 people.

And Mai Tie Staff took this opportunity to go straight to Mantou City, and before the other party could react, he took Mantou City down, and then after joining with Changsun Cheng, the 20,000 elites who had almost no losses were rushed to Shudun City, and encountered the elite army of Murong Fuyun's generals in Shudun City.

After a fight, the eldest grandson Cheng and Mai Tiecane "fled" to the south, and the bowl was not fooled, but urgently asked for help from Wangcheng and found the main cavalry of the Great Sui.

The distance between Shudun City and Mantou City is only one hundred and sixty miles, and if they can't take Shudun City, they can't be stationed in Mantou City, so the eldest grandson Cheng and they retreated to Chishui City, and sent a wide range of rangers to spy on the surrounding enemies.

The reason why the bowl rebuke map appeared in Shudun City was because Shudun City bordered the Great Sui's Shuihe County, and Zhou Fashang's southern flank army was stationed in Hejin County, which was one hundred and twenty miles away from Shudun City.

There is a Sui army in the west, and there is a main force of cavalry in the south, it is impossible to rebuke the map without panicking, the troops in his hand plus the stump city, a total of only 16,000 horsemen, can not stop the enemy army in both directions, but the stump city can not be lost, and the Sui army can drive straight from here to kill the royal city.

After waiting for three days, news came from the direction of Wangcheng, and the Great Khan Murong Fuyun ordered him to lead the famous king of Shudun City to withdraw to Wangcheng.

Of course, Changsun Cheng refused to let go of this opportunity, so he frequently harassed him along the road.

However, Mai Tiezhu believed that the time had come to completely annihilate the enemy's army, and there was no need to drag it to the south to fight, so he ignored the dissuasion of Changsun Cheng and led the main force under his command to start a decisive battle with Bo Tu at a place forty miles south of Mantou City.

At the same time, Murong Lianchibu, who was sent by Wang Cheng to take over the bowl rebuke, came out from the west and attacked Mai Tie Staff.

Seeing this, Changsun Cheng could only be contained from the side, and the melee of the four armies began.

The two sides surrounded Mantou City and Shudun City, and stopped fighting, so that the surrounding river valleys could see the lost war horses and soldiers killed in battle.

】

In the direction of Hejin County, Zhou Fashang, who got the news, urgently sent the only 3,000 horsemen under his command to go out to support, and urgently reported to the Marshal of Jincheng County.

"Why are they fighting here?" Gao Gong slapped the table angrily: "This place is less than four hundred miles away from the royal city, if Murong Fuyun leads the main force to kill, the main force of my southern cavalry army will be in danger." ”

Now the only one who can support Changsun Cheng is Zhou Fashang, but Zhou Fashang's main task is to respond to the southern part of Shi Wansui's department, and most of them are infantry troops, and the support is also very limited.

And the military report at the front reported that Murong Lianchi had at least 15,000 cavalry troops, so that Changsun Cheng and them had already suffered a loss in numbers.

Of course, 20,000 against 30,000 is not that it can't be fought, but it doesn't consume energy here, so that it overconsumes the few cavalry troops of the Great Sui.

And Yang Ming's marshal's department, after removing Shi Wanbao's five thousand horsemen, only about seven thousand remained.

At this time, Gao Gong's eyes looked at Yang Ming and said:

"Changsun Cheng and Mai Tiecane are the main forces in the decisive battle in the future, we can't help them, if they run out, even if we take Fu Qi City, it will be in vain."

Yang Ming's face was gloomy and he said, "What are they doing?" At the beginning, the king's general order was clear, if it was not dragged to Jishi Town, it could not be beaten, and the eldest grandson should not have made such a big mistake. ”

"The eldest grandson has always been strict, the problem should be with the Mai Tiecane, now it is useless to say more, His Highness should quickly send troops to support, and strictly order the eldest grandson and the two to retreat south immediately," Gao Gong said.

Yang Ming nodded, I can't help it, most of Shi Wansui's troops are foot soldiers, even if they take the royal city in the future, there is no cavalry outside to cover it, and a lonely city can't be defended at all.

Then next, it's up to who is going to the rescue.

In the hall, many generals took the initiative to ask.

If Li Jingzai was the best, it's a pity that he didn't bring it out.

This task, Yang Ming felt that it was not suitable for old people to do, and older people looked forward and backward, and it was not suitable to be a surprise soldier.

"Su Lie," Yang Ming said in a deep voice.

Su Lie was stunned for a moment, hurriedly turned to Yang Ming, and saluted: "Humble duty." ”

"I will assign 500 people from the tribe to you, and give you another 5,000 horsemen, all under the age of 20, remember, after charging into the battle, kill indiscriminately, order the eldest grandson Cheng and Mai Tiecane to retreat south, keep the main force, and those who do not obey will be beheaded on the spot."

Su Lie took a deep breath, his expression was very excited, and he said loudly: "Humble and orderly." ”

Although Gao Gong was also very surprised, why did Yang Ming send a young man with no experience in commanding troops to take on this important task, but on the other hand, this kind of thing is really only the most suitable for young people who are strong in blood and strength, and they don't want to die, those families are too desperate to do it.

After receiving the general's order, Su Lie, with the assistance of the royal army, immediately prepared the troops and horses.

It only took two hours for the five thousand elites to leave Xihe County.

On the way, Su Lie marched at the fastest speed despite the fatigue of the men and horses, and after a day and a night, he successfully arrived at Stump City.

Mai Tiezhu also knew that he had made a mistake, and he had been trying to break through to the south, he couldn't lead his troops west to Douhe County, otherwise he would implicate Zhou Fashang, so as to disrupt the deployment of the Chinese army.

But there is another problem to the south, and that is the Yellow River.

Although this is the most upstream of the Yellow River, the water level is not very high, but it is not an easy thing to cross the Yellow River, especially when there are pursuers later, and it is impossible to force the river to cross.

But now, he has been completely separated from Changsun Cheng by the enemy, and he doesn't even know where Changsun Cheng is now.

If it drags on like this, not to mention being surrounded by enemy troops, there is also the danger of being scattered, and at that time, he can only commit suicide to apologize for the loss of the main force of the cavalry.

At this time, there were scouts from the rear to report, reinforcements came, and they rushed directly into the enemy's Shudum City, tore the formation, and scattered the Shudum City.

Mai Tie Rod was overjoyed: "Who will be the Lord?" ”

"It seems to be the Kuzhi of the King of Qin," the scout said.

Mai Tiezhu was surprised: "But that hairy boy in the ring on the outskirts of Beijing? ”

"That's him!" Scout said.

I thank his eight generations of ancestors, if I can preserve the main force this time, I am willing to be a brother with him, Mai Tiecane did not dare to slack off, hurriedly led the army along the Yellow River to the south, collected scattered departments, reorganized the soldiers and horses, and encountered a small force on the road, and it was not in the way.

The troops commanded by Su Lie are all hairy guys, and they are exactly the kind of age that can wear through steel plates, and they are all very murderous.

Such a new force is undoubtedly very terrifying, Su Lie has no experience in commanding troops, and he doesn't know tactics, except for a map, he has the courage to not be afraid of death.

Five thousand people directly impacted the stump city, and the three thousand horsemen sent by Zhou Fashang were only two thousand, and after seeing the reinforcements, they subconsciously moved closer to Su Lie's side.

But they found that the farther they went, the support army in front of them did not seem to have any intention of joining them.

So the two thousand of them, under the leadership of the main general Yang Cai, were always behind Su Lie's buttocks.

Changsun Cheng had already withdrawn to the south, and when he was divided by the enemy, he knew that he could no longer save the wheat iron staff, so he couldn't have any more accidents, otherwise the main cavalry in the south would be completely finished.

After entering Chishui City, Changsun Cheng sent scouts to spy on the whereabouts of the Mai Tie Staff Division, and in the evening, the good news reached that the main force of the Mai Iron Staff Department still had 7,000 people and was coming to Chishui City.

Su Lie was completely fighting wherever he went, he didn't send scouts at all, he was marching in a hurry all the way, and wherever there was an enemy army, he would rush to kill him.

The war horse sitting down can't stand it, it's okay, there are ownerless war horses scattered everywhere around, just transfer.

People can't stand it? Those who don't exist are all young people with strong blood, and they have already killed their red eyes, and they can continue to do it if they drink saliva and eat dry food.

Murong Lianchi's department, the bowl rebuke map department, and the Shudum City department all fled and were killed by 5,000 people.

Fu Qi City, the Imperial Palace.

Servant Shooting Tuoba Ten Ya Dao:

"It seems that the south should be the main force of the Sui army's cavalry, and the Qilian City in the north, the number of cavalry will not be very large, so the north and south are divided, I am afraid that the main force of the King of Qin is in the middle, and the intention is where my royal city is."

Murong Fuyun's face was gloomy and said: "Pei Ju, this sinister villain, still writes to me, saying that the Sui army is looking for war horses, Qi Liancheng is gone, and he is still looking for horses?" ”

"This person is the most insidious, and he can't believe a word of his words," Shangshu Zhao Xin said: "You can make the three tribes of the King of Tuolai, the King of Datong Mountain, and the King of Linqiang all in one place and recapture Qilian City,"

"Qilian City is not important now, the King of Qilian is gone, what's the use of taking it back?" Servant shoots Tuoba Ten Yadao.

At this time, in the palace, the son of the famous king of Qilian City, Bamu Shot, was also there, and when he heard this, he stood up and said:

"Although my father is dead, but the tribes are scattered everywhere, please give me 2,000 men and let me go north to collect the tribes."

Murong Fuyun nodded: "You go down first, let me think about it again." ”

Pulling wood shot with a helpless face, so he could only retreat.

Without the famous king of the tribe, he is nothing, and if he didn't need to know the battle situation on the front line from him, Murong Fuyun would not let him enter the palace.

After the people left, Murong Fuyun said: "I also guess that the Sui army intends to be in the royal city, but there are large armies in the north and south, if I give up and don't save it, the royal city will be lost, what do you think?" ”

Tuoba Shiya said: "It is best for the Great Khan to move his family scroll to the west to the area of the Dang River, we will concentrate all the elites of the royal court, and we can go to the south and north, as long as my main force is here, even if I lose the royal city, it doesn't matter." ”

"I agree," Zhao Xin said: "As long as the main force of the Sui cavalry is defeated, the foot soldiers are not afraid at all, and if we lose the royal city, we can also take it back, and the most feared thing is to be attacked by the Sui army, causing my main force to scatter and fight separately, this is the worst situation." ”

After Murong Fuyun was silent for a long time, he gritted his teeth:

"Immediately contact all the departments, move closer to the direction of the royal court, and then concentrate the main force to destroy the eldest grandson Cheng in the south first."
