Mobei.
The imperial tribe.
The Dashang cavalry led by Li Ziye raided the Chili royal family and left.
On the boundless grassland, Li Ziye led the army forward, looking into the distance with a look of deep thought on his face.
Chili should be a relatively weak clan among the eight tribes in Mobei. They will fight whenever they can. However, the next choice must be carefully considered.
A raid is easy to succeed the first time, but after one, it is not so easy.
"Master Marquis, how about going to fight the Chisong tribe?" Luo Xiao suggested from the side.
"reason."
Li Ziye came back to his senses and asked.
"After Chi Songqing disappeared, there have been constant fights within Chi Song and the wastage was serious. If we go to fight them, we have the highest probability of success." Luo Xiao analyzed.
"It makes sense." Li Ziye nodded.
"Then let's go fight?" Luo Xiao said excitedly.
"Hit me!"
Li Ziye couldn't help but yelled, "How far away the Chisong tribe is from the Chili tribe, don't you count it? What's the use of traveling thousands of miles just to fight against a Chisong tribe with an unknown political power!"
The smile on Luo Xiao's face froze, and the trace of pride that had just risen in his heart immediately disappeared completely.
It seems that there is a little bit of truth.
The Chisong Tribe is a little far away from them, so it would be inappropriate to raid most of Mobei specifically to fight the Chisong Tribe.
If they were close, it would be okay to hit them on the way.
"Master Marquis, the pursuers in Mobei are following too closely. We should find a way to get rid of them first, otherwise we will be helpless in everything we do." Han Cheng suggested from behind.
"General Han is right."
Li Ziye nodded and said, "Our biggest trouble is Tantai Jingyue and her 30,000 Mobei cavalry."
"That crazy woman is really a lunatic. After chasing her for so long, she still refuses to give up."
When Luo Xiao heard the words "Tantai Jingyue", he felt uncomfortable all over and said in a very unhappy mood, "We only have less than 10,000 people, do we need to pursue them so closely?"
Nowadays, the war between Dashang and Mobei is in full swing. It is really annoying that the Tantai Goddess does not confront Dashang on the frontal battlefield, but comes here to surround and suppress people like them.
"Tantai Jingyue's approach is right. If it were me, I would definitely make the same choice."
Li Ziye said calmly, "If we are not wiped out, the process of the eight Mobei tribes moving south will be affected. The rear area will be in chaos, and the soldiers on the front line will not be able to fight with peace of mind."
"What do you mean by the Marquis, we are important?" Luo Xiao became a little proud again after hearing this and said excitedly.
"Whether it's important or not depends on whether we can create enough trouble for the Eight Departments of Mobei."
Li Ziye said calmly, "Let's go to the Tuoba tribe."
"Takuba?"
From behind, Han Cheng looked slightly condensed and said, "Master Hou, the Tuoba tribe is second only to the Tantai and Baidi tribes, and they are not easy to mess with."
"I understand."
Li Ziye nodded and said, "The two closest tribes to us are Tuoba and Helan. These two tribes are similar in strength, so we have to choose one."
"Master Marquis, why didn't you choose the Helan tribe?" Luo Xiao asked puzzledly.
"Why do you have so many!"
Li Ziye glanced at a certain idiot and spat, "I only have 10,000 people, so of course I can only choose one at a time. If you give me 100,000 cavalry, I won't choose any of them, and I will directly crush these two clans." ”
After being scolded again, Luo Xiao looked away without daring to ask any more questions.
The army then sped up and headed towards the Tuoba tribe in the west.
rear.
Seventy miles away.
Thirty thousand Mobei cavalry were in hot pursuit. After being thrown away once, they caught up again.
The marching direction of Dashang's cavalry was irregular and changing all the time. Even as smart as Dantai Jingyue, it was difficult to guess where Buyihou and others were going next.
In front of the Mobei army, Tantai Jingyue narrowed her eyes after hearing the scout's report.
Tuoba, or Helan.
Or turn around and call Helian back?
This Buyihou was like a loach, very slippery and really difficult to deal with.
After a brief thought, Tantai Jingyue ordered that the 30,000 cavalry be divided into three and adopt a circuitous and outflanking method to continue to pursue and intercept Dashang's 10,000 cavalry.
Two days later.
At the junction of the Tuoba and Chili tribes, Dashang's 10,000 cavalry arrived, left Chili, and entered the territory of the Tuoba tribe.
"Master Hou."
Not long after the army entered the Tuoba tribe, two spies rushed back one after another, saying anxiously, "Traces of the Mobei Iron Cavalry were found sixty miles away from the south (north)."
"Both the north and the south?"
Li Ziye looked slightly condensed after hearing the spy's report.
Could it be that Tantai Jingyue divided his troops?
Moreover, there are only sixty miles left, so the pursuit is really fast.
"Master Hou, what should we do now?"
From behind, Luo Xiao spoke and asked, "Are you still going according to the original plan?"
Li Ziye thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Change the direction and hit the tail of the Mobei army. Then, borrow the road from the Tantai tribe to go to the Baidi tribe."
After saying that, Li Ziye immediately reined in his horse and rushed north.
Sixty miles away, the distance is too close, and it is difficult to avoid it even if you just avoid it. It is better to take the initiative to attack and catch the Mobei army by surprise.
While thinking, Li Ziye glanced at the scorching sun going west, and a strange color flashed in his eyes.
The time is just right.
As the sun set to the west, ten thousand cavalry galloped past in the wilderness. When they were about to approach the Mobei army, they suddenly accelerated.
The light cavalry's surprise attack was impossible to guard against. Even the scouts might not have time to report the news. As the sun set, the Mobei army on the north road was about to stop temporarily to rest. They were surprised to hear the sound of horse hooves in the distance. The next moment, at the end of the dim night, a rapid torrent of molten metal appeared. Swarmed in and rushed directly into the tail of the army on the north road.
"Enemy attack!"
The soldiers of the Mobei army reacted quickly and mounted their horses to meet the enemy.
It was already dark, and the Dashang cavalry, who had taken the advantage, made a fierce attack and left immediately without showing any reluctance to fight.
The Mobei army, which had been smashed to pieces by Dashang's cavalry, organized an effective counterattack formation, but Dashang's cavalry had already walked away.
The two armies briefly clashed, and the Mobei cavalry on the northern route suffered nearly a thousand casualties, while the Dashang cavalry suffered only more than a hundred casualties.
The ten-fold difference in casualties fully reflects the importance of cavalry fighting and gaining the upper hand.
Dashang's cavalry came and left quickly, but they didn't want to wait for Mobei's cavalry to react and lose money.
Under night.
Not long after the Dashang cavalry left, the third Mobei army led by Tantai Jingyue arrived from the southeast. After seeing the embarrassed appearance of the northern army, he frowned slightly.
It's still a step too late.
Really cunning enough.
Just as Li Ziye and Tantai Jingyue were going back and forth in circles.
The northern border of Dashang.
Shaoguan City.
King Zhongwu, the eleventh prince Mu Qing and others, who had been trapped for more than a month, finally came to the time when they had to make a choice.
Should we abandon the city and break out of the siege, or continue to wait for reinforcements.
The food and fodder in the city will soon be exhausted, and it will not last more than a few days.
"Your Highness Eleven, good news."
Under the night, King Zhongwu walked quickly and said, "King Guanshan is already on the way to support, and he should be able to arrive in four or five days."
"Four or five days."
On the city tower, Mu Qing looked at the Mobei East Road army stationed outside the city and said in a serious voice, "I'm just afraid that the Mobei cavalry in Baidi City will send troops to stop them. Our food and grass won't last long."
