220. Offensive and defensive changes
"Lord Wang, when the sky was just dawning, His Majesty took half of the cavalry vanguard to the capital of the Xia Kingdom. The other half of the vanguard cavalry battalion was ambushing in a valley a few miles outside the city. ”
Around noon, the scouts who had gone to find out the news returned to the infantry camp. When you return, tell you what you have learned.
"Who is the Lord Left Behind?" asked Tuoba Su.
"General Eqing. The scout responded.
"Did he inform His Majesty of his intentions?" Tuobasu thought quickly, and then asked.
"Soldiers are coming to the city, and there is a life-and-death duel. "The scout heard the news and told the truth.
"Hurry up, you don't have to go to the valley again, go straight to the capital of the Xia Kingdom. Tuoba Su listened and ordered.
"Look, General, what's that?"
After an hour of rapid marching, when there were only ten miles left from Tongwan City, several soldiers suddenly pointed ahead and reminded their generals.
Tuoba Su also saw a vision ahead, and although he had been fighting for decades, he didn't know what was happening. When he was in doubt, a lieutenant came forward to inform him.
"Lord Wang, tell on behalf of King Anbei that the vision ahead is that there are demons doing the law. ”
Tuoba Longyang's original intention was to remind his uncle. Your Majesty is in danger, and you should hurry up to the rescue.
But after Tuoba Su found out, he became hesitant instead, and did not give orders for dozens of breaths.
"Drive. ”
At the critical moment, two fast horses rushed out of the camp, and immediately two of them, whipped and galloped towards the place where the vision was generated.
"Run past. Seeing this, Tuoba Su no longer hesitated, and ordered the soldiers of the infantry battalion to move forward quickly.
Tuoba Tao regretted it a little.
In the past, digging wild vegetables, plundering the people of the surrounding Xia Kingdom, and sending out dead soldiers to surrender were all to create the illusion that the Wei army was running out of food. When calling for battle today, Wei troops continued to faint and take the initiative to retreat, also in order to deceive Helianchang and lure him out of the city to pursue.
But people are not as good as heaven.
Seeing that Helian Chang was planning to go out of the city and was about to succeed, he suddenly had a vision that covered the way for the Wei army to return to the valley.
A group of soldiers relied on their memories to run two sticks of incense to the way they came, and the Xia army still shouted and killed.
"Cui Qing, but the sky is going to kill my Great Wei?" while fleeing for his life, Tuoba Tao asked the ministers around him.
"It's not the Great Wei of the Heavenly Death, it's Helian Chang who has demons casting spells. Cui Hao had some guesses in his heart, and immediately responded after being asked.
"Really?" Tuoba Tao listened, and his mind began to settle down.
If the sky is going to die, manpower is not capable of the enemy. If someone makes a mistake, you can kill all the way back.
"It's true. Cui Hao saw through his mind and responded very decisively.
"Stop the sons and daughters, go back with me to kill the demons, capture Helianchang alive, and set the foundation of Wei Wanshi!" Sure enough, after Tuoba Tao heard this, a fierce look appeared in his eyes, and he shouted.
After shouting, he turned his horse's head and counterattacked directly towards the pursuers.
"Uncle Shi, the Wei army has begun a counterattack. ”
Tuoba Tao led the Wei army to gallop back a few dozen steps, and someone behind the Xia army opened his mouth to remind Huang Fu.
"Change the law!" Huang Fu immediately ordered after hearing this. As soon as the words fell, the direction of the winds besieging the Wei army began to change.
"Your Majesty, the wind direction has changed abruptly, and our army is marching against the wind, which is not conducive to engagement. It is better to retreat to the valley with the wind and join General E's soldiers and horses. Some of the eunuchs in the Wei army noticed the change and opened their mouths to advise.
"Cui Qing, how is it?" Tuoba Tao did not reply after hearing this, and asked Cui Hao directly to the side.
"The arrow is on the line, and it has to be sent. Cui Hao's response was equally decisive.
After hearing this, Tuoba Tao ignored others, whipped the war horse fiercely, and galloped towards the Xia army.
The two armies were originally in the same direction, but after the Wei army turned around, they moved opposite each other. In less than a stick of incense, the forwards clashed one after another, one Wei and one summer, one clear and one turbid, and gradually mixed into one.
Although there is a high morale, it cannot make up for the disadvantage. Helian Chang occupied the right time and place, and from the very beginning of the confrontation, the Wei army fell into passivity.
Even so, Tuoba Tao was still like a killing god, slashing several Xia soldiers one after another, trying to turn back the battle.
"Who can capture the Tuoba thief alive?" Helian Chang shouted loudly when he saw this.
"I would like to go. Hu Liwen beside him said as he led people into the battle formation.
Hu Liwen is a general of the Xia State and is extremely brave. As soon as he rushed into the battle formation, he urged the horse to Tuoba Tao's side, and cut off the hooves of his war horse.
The war horse toppled over, and Tuoba Tao fell from above, very embarrassed. didn't have time to shout, so he hurriedly waved the long lance in his hand to resist the attack of the Xia soldiers beside him.
"Protect Your Majesty. ”
At the critical moment, Konoe Tuoba Qi shouted while using himself as a meat shield to block the enemy army.
Some soldiers in the Wei army heard the shouts and hurriedly stepped forward to rescue, and also fought with the Xia soldiers.
Tuoba Tao took the opportunity to get out, turned over an ownerless war horse, and counterattacked Hu Liwen. After a few rounds, find the right moment and pick him off the horse.
Hu Liwen is not only the general of the Xia State, but also has the title of Shangshu, and is a pillar of the DPRK. When Helian Chang saw that he was beheaded, anger rose in his heart. At the moment, there was no plan to capture him, so he immediately opened his mouth and ordered.
"The bows and crossbows were fired in unison, and the Tuoba thief was shot under the horse. ”
The two armies of Wei and Xia were fighting in a scuffle, and it was very likely that they would injure their own soldiers and horses. Helian Chang did not hesitate, he would rather harm himself than kill Tuoba Tao.
After the Xia army's crossbowmen fired several arrows, Tuoba Tao waved his lance to resist. The arrows and crossbows arrived in front of him one after another, and although he tried his best to block, he was still hit by a few arrows after a dozen breaths.
"Your Majesty, dismount quickly!"
Seeing this, Tuoba Qi slashed and killed a Xia soldier, reminded him loudly, and led people to the front at the same time.
Tuoba Tao also knew that he was in a life-and-death situation, and after blocking a few arrows, he jumped under the horse and galloped towards Tuoba Qi's location. After the convergence, he was blocked by the crowd, although there were still stray arrows flying, and he was no longer a threat.
"Dao Chief, how's it going?"
fell short, Helian Chang saw everything in his eyes, his heart was impatient, and he couldn't help but ask loudly.
Before he could speak, Huang Fu moved again. Several people led the spirit one after another, and then gathered into a spirit arrow, mixed with ordinary arrows, and shot towards Tuoba Tao's hiding place.
After the spirit arrow was shot, Huang Fu and the others had expectant expressions on their faces.
The spirit sword was invisible, and its momentum continued unabated after penetrating the bodies of several people all the way. Tuoba Tao saw the soldiers of the two armies fall for no reason in the dark, and instinctively sensed that the other party was using unknown means.
"Brother Huang, get out of the way. At the moment of crisis, Sima asked the two to arrive.
Tuoba Longyang had already started to move the spirit before jumping off the war horse, and while flying to push Tuoba Tao away, he laid an aura barrier in front of him.
The spirit arrow is invisible, and so is the barrier. In Tuobatao's view, Tuoba Longyang was empty in front of him, and he didn't know what he was doing.
After all, the spiritual arrow was triggered by Huang Fu and several people, and the spiritual energy barrier was hastily deployed. The stalemate was only three or five breaths, the barrier was shattered, and Tuoba Longyang flew backwards several feet as if he had been slammed.
