Chapter 218: That Clansman!
Tuoba Fu is the first general of the barbarian Tuoba tribe.
The Tuoba tribe is located in the middle of the Yeqi grassland, and is one of the five major tribes among the barbarians, with strong strength, and the number of armored men is claimed to be 500,000.
However, the Tuoba tribe is far away from Yuntong Pass, so even if the Tuoba tribe claims to have 500,000 people with armor, the soldiers have never touched Yuntong Pass.
In the previous wars between the Northern Qin Kingdom and the barbarians, the barbarian tribes that fought against Lu Yanwu's Northern Legion were mostly a few small tribes close to the Northern Qin Kingdom, and there had never been a person from the Tuoba tribe.
But the person at the moment turned out to be Tuoba Fu!
The first warrior of the Tuoba tribe, one of the five major tribes of the barbarians!
Zhao Yun was keenly aware that the scale of the barbarian iron horse's southward march this time might be far greater than any previous time.
And this also highlights the importance of Yuntong Pass.
Yuntong Pass must not become a bridgehead for the barbarian iron cavalry to go south!
Yuntong Pass, you must get it back!
Zhao Yun's eyes were firm, and he said in a deep voice: "Give the order to the two thousand Cangbai Iron Cavalry, and immediately go to Yuntong Pass with this general, and be sure to take Yuntong Pass back!" ”
Although Tuoba Fu's strength is not weak, according to previous intelligence analysis, he is only a martial arts general realm of the middle grade of the Xuan level plus the peak martial arts realm of the late stage of the Innate Xuan Statue Realm.
This kind of strength is not weak in the Yao Ling Domain and the Night Valley.
But for the current Zhao Yun, it is not enough.
Therefore, Zhao Yun planned to take advantage of the enemy's unstable foothold in Yuntong Pass to directly launch a surprise attack and recapture Yuntong Pass.
Taking a step back, even if Tuoba Fu had the strong men of the Tianwu Clan by his side, he would not be able to recapture Yuntong Pass, but he would be able to block the iron cavalry of Yuntong Pass in Yuntong Pass and prevent them from going south.
In this way, he can wait for the next 200,000 infantry to arrive, and then he can gather an army formation to attack the city.
The barbarian iron cavalry is not good at defending the city, and he will have a great chance of retaking Yuntong Pass at that time!
As for the two thousand Cangbai Iron Cavalry, they were brought by Di Qing from Cangbai City before.
Later, as Zhao Yun took over the Eastern Territory Legion, these two thousand Cangbai Iron Cavalry naturally became his subordinates.
Soon, two thousand cypress iron horsemen galloped towards Yuntong Pass under the leadership of Zhao Yun.
……
"Huh? Is there an iron rider near Yuntong Pass? ”
In the Yuntong Pass City Lord's Mansion, Tuoba Fu, who had just entered the Lord's Mansion, was full of surprise when he got the news, turned his head to look at a middle-aged man in a moon-white robe sitting beside him, and said, "Didn't you people from the Tianwu Clan say that Zhao Yun's army is still half a day away from Yuntong Pass?" Why is there an iron horse approaching Yuntong Pass now? ”
The middle-aged man's surname is Na, his name is Kezi, he is a member of the Tianwu clan, and he is also the supervisor of his army sent by the Tianwu clan.
Hearing this, Na Kizi also frowned slightly, and said, "There will be no mistake in our intelligence. ”
Then he looked at the scout general who gave the news and asked, "How many enemy troops are there?" Who leads the troops? ”
"Lord Hui, the enemy army is only about 2,000 cavalry, and the person who leads the troops is Zhao Yun." The Scout General replied.
"There were only 2,000 of them."
Na Kizi looked relaxed and said, "It should just be that Zhao Yun knows that Yuntong Pass has fallen into our hands and wants to take advantage of our unstable foothold to recapture Yuntong Pass." ”
Tuoba Fu also nodded when he heard this, this is indeed a very likely thing.
But soon he sneered and said, "It's just two thousand people, and he Zhao Yun wants to take back Yuntong Pass?" Wish for the moon! ”
"Instead of waiting for him to come, it's better to take the initiative." Na Kizi looked at Tuoba Fu and said, "You lead 20,000 iron cavalry to the south immediately, and you must defeat Zhao Yun and his iron cavalry before Yuntong Pass." ”
"Take the initiative?"
Tuoba Fu's face changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Lord Supervisor, don't forget, although Zhao Yun only came with two thousand iron cavalry to lead the troops, he himself is a heaven-level military general, which is not easy to deal with. ”
"And the information we got before also mentioned that Zhao Yun is cautious, he has never been a reckless person, he dares to take the initiative to take two thousand iron horsemen to snatch Yuntong Pass, he must be sure, if we defend the city, there are 20,000 troops, enough to defend until the follow-up army arrives."
"But if we take the initiative, we really give Zhao Yun a chance."
"Ignorance!"
Na Kezi snorted coldly: "If we defend the city, then Zhao Yun will be able to lead two thousand iron cavalry to Yuntong Pass smoothly, he does not need to take the initiative to attack, he only needs to ensure that our iron cavalry cannot leave Yuntong Pass, and then wait for half a day, and wait until the remaining 200,000 troops arrive to gather an army formation to attack the city." ”
"Don't forget, you barbarian iron cavalry are good at fighting on the plains, good at cavalry charges, but not good at defending and besieging cities."
"When the time comes, facing the 200,000 troops led by Zhao Yun, a heaven-level low-grade general, to attack the city, how long do you think your 20,000 people can hold it? An hour? Or two hours? And at this time, our follow-up army will not be able to arrive at all! ”
"This ......"
Tuoba Fu's complexion also changed.
As the first general of the Tuoba tribe, he naturally knew the advantages and disadvantages of the barbarian iron cavalry.
Defending a city is indeed not what the barbarian iron knights are good at.
After just a little muttering, he still said: "Then Zhao Yun is a heaven-level martial arts general after all, will it be a bit risky to take the initiative to attack?" ”
"What about a heaven-level military general?" Na Kizi looked disdainful and said, "With only two thousand iron cavalry, how can they support his military formation?" There is no military formation of heaven-level low-grade generals, but it's just a waste! With my strength, it's enough to kill him dozens of times! ”
"I naturally believe in the strength of Lord Overseer, but ......" Tuoba Fu said in a deep voice: "What I'm worried about is the Dan Realm martial artists under Lu Zihong's command. ”
"If Lu Zihong has sent Dan Realm martial artists to follow Zhao Yun, then what should we do?"
"Dan Realm Grandmaster?"
Na Kezi smiled and said, "If he, Lu Zihong, really sent the few Dan Realm Grandmasters under his command, then it would be easier for us to destroy the Northern Qin Kingdom." ”
"This ......" Tuoba Fu looked at Nakiz inexplicably.
He didn't know that Na Kizi could still deal with the Dan Realm Grandmaster.
Na Kezi smiled faintly and said, "The priest of my Tianwu Clan's clan is in the rear, if the Dan Realm Grandmaster under Lu Zihong really arrives, I only need to crush the jade pendant, and he will be able to come in an instant." ”
Tuoba Fu suddenly realized.
With the Dan Realm Grandmaster here, he is naturally not afraid.
So he immediately smiled at Na Kizi and said, "Since there are noble priests here, then there is naturally no need to hesitate in this battle. ”
Then he immediately ordered loudly: "Order, the army is reorganized, and in a quarter of an hour it will go south, and the enemy's iron cavalry must be annihilated!" ”
"Yes!"
Immediately, an adjutant general passed down the order.
Soon, a quarter of an hour passed, Tuoba Fu and Na Kezi set off from the south gate of Yuntong Pass with 20,000 iron horses, went directly south, and galloped towards the place where Zhao Yun's iron horsemen were.
When the Jinyi Wei secret agent who was located outside Yuntong Pass saw this scene, he immediately released the Shenxing Falcon and passed the news to Zhao Yun.
