War is on the verge of breaking out.

In April of the first year of Ganlu, Biqiu Jian sent troops from Lelang, but the direction of the troops was not Goguryeo, and directly pointed to the strong enemy Tuoba Department.

Tuoba is in the midst of civil strife at the moment, as his eldest son, Desert Khan, is not around, and Liwei is seriously ill due to the betrayal of the crowd, causing several of his sons to be anxious to express themselves.

They distorted the meaning of "persuasion" in Liwei.

Begin to lead their own elites to chase down the departing traitors, and the two sides are fighting in all directions.

Liwei's headquarters is extremely strong, and he is commanded by several of his sons, and when faced with those traitors who drag their families and mouths, their combat effectiveness is fully demonstrated.

They quickly broke several of the main rebel armies and killed their leaders to intimidate the rest of the people, in order to show them that this was the fate of the betrayers!

They thought it would act as a good deterrent to those people from fleeing.

As everyone knows, their killing only made these leaders more afraid, and after learning that Ku Xian had been protected by the Wei people, they sent people one after another, wanting to get in touch with the Wei State and get the same protection.

And some of the tribal leaders, who are also allies at this moment, come together to fight back against the Tuoba people who came to chase and kill.

For a time, war broke out.

"Hahaha, but that's it!"

Tuoba Silu raised the spear in his hand, and on top of the spear hung the head of the leader of the traitors.

He looked angrily at the knights around him and scolded, "Still not surrender?!" ”

Hearing his words, the knights who were fighting left the convoy behind and turned to run.

Xilu did not continue the pursuit, but led people to capture the convoy in front of him.

This tribe was not a large tribe, and the convoy numbered no more than 10,000 people, most of whom were women and children.

Xilu said indifferently: "Bring these people back!" ”

Immediately some knights began to come forward and drive them back as if they were cattle.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Xilu suddenly felt that in fact, this rebellion was not bad.

The alliance will always dissolve, if not now, after my father's death.

But now, these people have fled, and they have an excuse to crusade, if they can defeat everyone, and capture them back.

Then you can assist your father to establish the Xianbei Empire.

There will be no more alliances, all clans will obey the orders of one person, and the officials will be appointed by one person, up and down!!

And if your eldest brother can't come back

Xilu's eyes brightened a little.

He seems to have a good future in mind.

The knights who went out to investigate hurriedly came, "Shizi! There is also a convoy due east, with more than 20,000 people and a lot of livestock!! ”

Silu laughed.

"Okay, let these thieves know what happened to betraying their father this time! I'm going to take them back one by one and behead them in front of them!" Follow me! ”

Silu led the army to rush over again.

Those people had to run with the whole clan when they ran away, and Xilu and these people were lightly chased, so as long as they were discovered, it would be difficult for them to escape.

Silu quickly caught up with the tribe, and just as Silu was about to attack, another army slowly appeared in the distance.

Silu hurriedly ordered the crowd to stop.

He looked into the distance in astonishment, as the army approached slowly in the midst of the wind and dust.

Silu finally saw their faces clearly.

This is the Wei people!

They waved the banner of the north of the town, and among them there were cavalry and infantry, and they were in formation and were slowly approaching this side.

And when they saw them, the convoy immediately sped up its speed.

Xilu was very surprised at the moment, "How could the Wei people appear here?" Could it be that they want to interfere in my domestic affairs?! ”

"Someone's coming!"

He immediately arranged for a person to negotiate with those Wei people, ask the other party about their intentions, and remind the other party to leave as soon as possible.

And the people he sent soon returned.

The scout's face was ugly.

"Shizi, the other party said that it was the army under the command of Yanghu, who came here to accept the Xianbei tribe that defected to them, and asked us to stop the pursuit and turn around and leave."

Silu was furious, "What do these dog thieves mean? Is it to protect the rebels? Do they want to go to war with us? ”

The scout said, "They said: These people have chosen to break away from Tuoba and choose to submit to Wei, then Wei will ensure their safety, and they have nothing to do with Tuoba."

Xilu couldn't hold back anymore at the moment.

"The Wei people are trying to fight us!"

"Follow me!!"

Xilu immediately led the cavalry and launched an attack on the Wei army in the distance.

Xilu's cavalry has more than 6,000 people, and the other party seems to be only around 4,000, which is a disadvantage in terms of strength, not to mention, the opponent's army is still mixed with infantry and cavalry, compared with pure cavalry like them, there must be a difference.

The moment he learned of the other party's reply, Xilu knew in his heart that a war with Wei was inevitable, as long as he didn't want to watch his family dissolve, then he would definitely have to go to war with Wei!

The other party is obviously trying to force them to disband and disintegrate, since this is the case, it is better to give them a ruthless one, let them see, who is the world on this grassland!

Xi Lu waved the spear in his hand, and a strange cry came out of his mouth, and the entire cavalry team was infected by his bravery, and they all screamed, and they rushed towards the Wei army in the distance like tigers and wolves.

And at this moment, the Wei people were very calm, the cavalry was divided into two sides, and the infantry took out strong crossbows and aimed them at the enemy.

And then "whoosh~~~"

"Whoosh~~~"

"Whoosh~~~"

"Whoosh~~~"

When the crossbow fired its first salvo, Silu lowered his body and listened to the arrows buzzing past his ears.

And when the strong crossbow continued to be fired, Xilu suddenly became frightened.

What kind of sorcery is this?!

Why can you shoot continuously?!

How did they do it?

The Wei people also felt strange, since they were equipped with continuous crossbows, it had been a long time since they had encountered a situation where lightly armed cavalry dared to attack them head-on.

This powerful crossbow swings forward, unless it is a soldier holding a shield to open the way, who can carry it?

The crossbow bolts rained down, constantly flying towards the Xianbei people, and the Xianbei people were almost drowned by the "rain".

These were just light cavalry in pursuit, screaming and falling to the ground.

It's too late for Silu to stop.

Because, Silu himself was shot through, and he was probably hit by at least four arrows, and fell off his horse in incomprehensible fear.

The rest of the knights were just chanting witchcraft at the moment, fleeing in all directions in terror.

Superstition is not only in the Central Plains, but also in Xianbei people.

Historically, when Desert Khan returned to Xianbei, he showed everyone the slingshot tongue bird, and then, the Xianbei people were very frightened, and said that Desert Khan learned the demon art of the Jin people in Luoyang, and he was going to use demon magic to harm people!

Then the desert Khan was put to death.

In the first battle between the two sides, the Xianbei people were defeated because they were not familiar with the tactics of the Wei people.

Xilu's death also marked the official tearing of faces between the two sides and the beginning of a full-scale war.

Yang Hu divided his army and sent his tribes to meet the tribes who had returned.

And after the news spread, more and more tribes expressed their willingness to submit to the Wei state.

In their minds, this so-called submission is probably the same as before, sending tribute, and then getting the protection of the Great Wei and accepting the canonization of the Great Wei Emperor.

Yanghu was the first to engage the enemy, and his army held back the enemy's pursuers in many places, and because of the cooperation of those tribes, Yanghu frequently won victories.

This also caused the Xianbei people to quickly change their tactics, they no longer scattered the pursuit, and gathered troops to besiege the lone army of Yanghu.

Biqiu Jian officially entered the field at this moment, he led the army to fight against the gathered Xianbei army, and the elite of Qingyang immediately went crazy.

But the commander of the Xianbei people, Tuoba Xuan, was a very smart guy, and after the battle, he discovered the gap between them and directly chose to retreat, without letting Biqiu Jian achieve greater results.

At this moment, Liwei also learned the news of the Wei people's participation in the war.

This made Liwei's condition even more serious.

But he also made arrangements, ordering Tuoba Lu to lead his main force to help his brother, and he told his son that if the war was unfavorable, he could abandon himself and the city and leave, not to be captured by the Wei people, and to preserve the greatest strength.

Biqiu Jian is approaching step by step at this moment, and those who are ordered to pursue, they have become the ones being pursued at this moment.

Along the way, he breached several castles and captured a large amount of supplies.

At this time, the Tuoba Lu official who went to support encountered Wen Yang who was going to attack Shengle on the way.

Instead of engaging the other party, Wen Yang quickly reversed course and headed further north.

Lu Guan didn't dare to pursue, and he didn't dare to support, he was afraid that if he chased, Biqiu Jian would break through his brother, but if he went to his brother's side, Fang Cai's elite would break through his own royal city!

He had no choice but to divide some cavalry, deploy them around, and tell them that if they encountered an attack by Wen Yang, they would harass them and not let him attack the city with peace of mind.

He himself moved on to support his brother and help deal with Biqiu Jian.

Xianbei fought in full force, but he no longer had the energy to care about those defecting tribes, these people accelerated to leave, and more and more people successfully fled, and because of the opportunity to fight, there were more and more defectors in the country.

In an instant, Tuoba fell into a desperate situation of internal and external troubles and falling apart.

After successfully recruiting the converts, Yang Hu left the army to guard them, and he himself continued to advance to support Biqiu Jian.

At this moment, Biqiu Jian is fighting a guerrilla war with Tuoba.

Tuoba Jian realized that he was not Biqiu Jian's opponent, so he dispersed his army, adopted harassment guerrilla tactics, ran away after the fight, and went his own way, Biqiu Jian did not move, but slowly advanced in the direction of Shengle, putting enough pressure on the other party.
