Next to the Shiyang River.

The battle of crossing the river that Han Sui had been waiting for had not yet happened, but it was unlikely to happen again.

Because the Xianbei army found a shallow section of the river and quietly crossed the river, and when some of them crossed the river, they found that there were still people arranged by Han Sui to come out to inspect.

The people who were inspecting were mainly on guard, and they had crossed the river in other places, and now they had found something, and they were immediately shocked, and they hurriedly ran back to report.

"Chase!"

Tuoba Jiefen said sharply.

A few fast horses caught up and easily slaughtered all the people Han Sui had arranged to patrol nearby.

"Send someone south to see what Han Sui's movements are."

Tuoba Liwei said.

Immediately, their Xianbei scouts went south and walked along the river in the direction of Guzang City.

Tuoba Jiefen and Bald Pigu were stationed on the bank, directing the remaining soldiers to continue to cross the river and assemble.

After waiting for less than half a day, the scouts who went to investigate hurriedly came back and reported Han Sui's preparations for crossing the river.

"Father, as I said, Han Sui must have thought that we didn't know how to cross the river, and stationed on the bank."

When Tuoba Liwei got the news, he was proud, and said: "Now that we have crossed the river in advance, we have appeared in the rear of Han Sui, and Han Sui is still staring at the other bank, and the advantage is ours. ”

Judging from the current situation, this is exactly the case.

Tuoba Jiefen said: "Concentrate all the cavalry, attack first as the vanguard, and follow the infantry as soon as possible, fight directly, and start now." ”

They don't want to wait anymore.

Just want to fight.

rushed over and killed, taking revenge on Han Sui.

As long as they thought of killing Han Sui, they would be able to enter Guzang and loot more property, women, etc., and those soldiers were excited.

They began to be agitated again, and rushed south with a shout, and it was the cavalry who rushed out first.

The speed of the Xianbei cavalry was extremely fast, and it didn't take long for them to see the military camp of Han Sui and the others appear in front of them.

Now Han Sui went to Guzang and was not here.

It was Yan Xing who stationed them on the bank, but when the scout ran back and said that when they found that the Xianbei cavalry had crossed the river unknowingly and had come to their north, everyone was shocked.

Walking out of the barracks and looking out, a loud sound of horses' hooves came, and then I saw that the fierce Xianbei cavalry really rushed over.

In the blink of an eye, he came to the outside of the barracks and scattered the soldiers on the periphery.

The infantry on the periphery was almost crushed by the Xianbei soldiers in just a single look, and they had no ability to resist at all.

"Assemble!"

"The cavalry goes out to fight, stop the Xianbei cavalry, quickly!"

Yan Xing let out a loud shout.

"I'm coming!"

Cheng Yin first led their cavalry into battle and killed the Xianbei cavalry.

However, their cavalry is now only more than 2,000 people, and the number is pitifully small, and the Xianbei cavalry has nearly 20,000 people, and the fighting spirit is high.

The disparity in numbers is too great to resist.

The infantry led by Yan Xing and them soon followed, and the archers drew their bows and shot, killing some of the Xianbei cavalry.

However, the Xianbei cavalry was fast and moved like the wind, and before the Liangzhou soldiers could draw their bows again, they rushed over strongly.

The cavalry cut directly into the Liangzhou cavalry, the horse's hooves were raised, and countless people were kicked away, and the scimitar in his hand was dragged down hard, and countless people fell in a pool of blood.

"General Yan, we can't fight at all."

Li Kan said eagerly: "The gap is too big, I can't move!" ”

Cheng Yi echoed: "The Xianbei people must have crossed the river secretly, now it is just a cavalry raid, and the infantry in the rear must be on the road, and they can't fight!" ”

Yan Xing hurriedly commanded, several counterattacks were unsuccessful, gritted his teeth and said: "Retreat, go back to the city first, after the archers are broken, as long as we return to the city and hold out until Cao Cao's reinforcements arrive, we can still fight!" ”

Cao Cao became their only hope at this time.

As long as Cao Cao comes, anything can be said.

"Retreat!"

The order to retreat spread among the army.

The archers continued to draw their bows and shoot at the rushing Xianbei cavalry, blocking the enemy for a while, and then the cavalry of Liangzhou was rambling, although the number was not very large, but it was not a problem to cover the retreat.

The place where they were going to ambush on the bank of the river was still about fifty miles away from Guzang.

Before I returned to Guzang City, it was night.

The Xianbei people were not familiar with the situation in Liangzhou, and when they saw that it was late at night, they did not dare to chase again, and the cavalry stopped first and waited for the follow-up infantry to follow.

When the infantry led by Tuoba Jiefen followed the cavalry, the result of this battle was obtained.

The bald Pi Gu sneered: "Han Sui's people, then without fighting, we are just cavalry shocks, and easily defeat them." ”

Tuoba Jiefen said: "It's a pity, let's let them escape, if we can kill all these people, we go to Guzang City, we don't have to attack the city." ”

"Siege warfare is not what we are good at."

Tuoba Liwei said.

They are very fierce on the battlefield, but they don't know how to fight siege warfare, if they can completely annihilate the Xiliang soldiers on the shore, the siege is indeed much easier.

The bald Pigu said, "What are you afraid of? We have a lot of people, and it's not that we can't fight, but if we besiege the city, we can storm it. ”

"That makes sense!"

Tuoba Jiefen said: "As long as you want to fight, you can still fight, rest for a night, and continue to march to Guzang tomorrow." ”

Han Sui was only one of those people left, and they were confident that it would be completely fine to attack the city.

——

Yan Xing and they didn't dare to stay, so they hurried all night with torches, regardless of their exhaustion, and rushed all the way back to Guzang.

The soldiers guarding the city were startled when they saw someone approaching, and they could only enter the city after revealing their identities.

"What happened?"

Han Sui immediately walked out and asked.

Ma Teng, who was following him, glanced at it and said: "Knowingly, you must be being chased by Xianbei people to fight, you wait for Xianbei to cross the river on the bank, won't Xianbei send someone to investigate, so as to change the method of crossing the river?" ”

"General Ma is right."

Yan Xing said helplessly: "The Xianbei people don't know when and where to cross the river and kill us, so they have no choice but to come back." ”

Han Sui's face turned gloomy, and a bad feeling welled up in his heart, and he asked, "When will Cao Cao's people arrive?" ”

The people around him shook their heads and said, "Back to the envoy, I don't know yet." ”

They sent the news of their willingness to surrender to Cao Cao, and at the same time received a reply from Cao Cao, and the army was already on its way to Guzang.

Other than that, they didn't know anything about Cao Cao's movements.

Even where Cao Cao went, it is also unclear, but the Xianbei Hu people have already gone south, and they will be able to come to the city early tomorrow morning at the earliest.

"Prepare to defend the city!"

Ma Teng thought for a while and said: "We have Guzang City here, we may not be able to stop the Xianbei people, and we don't need to guard it for too long, the fastest one day, at most two days, Prime Minister Cao Cheng can come." ”

As soon as the reinforcements arrived, Gu Zang was safe.

Maybe you can fight back.

This is the only thing Han Sui can do.

"Do what my brother says, and prepare the tools to defend the city!"

Han Sui said with some despair.

Other than that, there is no other way.
