Zhao Shan led the Xuanjia Army to continue the pursuit, ignoring the capture of prisoners from behind and further efforts to clear the battlefield. With Wei Polu in charge, Zhao Shan doesn't need to worry at all. Zhao Shan has only one goal, and that is Tuoba Shao.
The Xuanjia Army continued to charge and kill. Under the sunlight, the sword light shone with a cold light, killing the soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty one by one.
The Northern Wei camp completely collapsed.
The entire Northern Wei defense line was lost.
Tuoba Shao felt helpless and led his people to retreat. Because all the horses in the camp ran away, the cavalry had no horses, and only a few generals had horses, causing the Sirius Cavalry to completely lie down.
Even if they retreat, a group of infantry will follow them.
When Tuoba Shao retreated, he looked back at the camp behind him. A large number of Northern Wei troops were overwhelmed and were constantly killed by the Xuanjia army.
The screams lingered in my ears.
There are corpses and pools of blood lying everywhere.
Tuoba Shao's eyes were about to burst, and his heart was like a knife that could not be shaken off in a short time.
Tuoba Shao endured the pain and retreated for several miles. Seeing Zhao Shan getting closer and closer, he felt even more anxious.
Zhao Shan kept chasing after him.
The situation is very critical.
Li Xiangyang also retreated, and he reminded: "Manager, we must find a way, we cannot be chased all the time. If this continues, our entire army will be annihilated, and everyone will be taken advantage of by Zhao Shan."
Tuoba Shao looked at the pursuers behind him, his brows furrowed, thinking how to escape the pursuit?
There are too few troops around.
No cavalry can counter Zhao Shan's Xuanjia Army.
Tuoba Shao thought while running, and ran for a while. Seeing the Xuanjia Army chasing after him, he made up his mind and said loudly: "We can't retreat like this, otherwise, all of us will become prisoners."
"If the main generals of the Wei Dynasty are taken over, the Wei Dynasty will collapse, and its vitality must be preserved."
"After I came to stop, everyone quickly evacuated."
"Zhao Shan's target is me. As long as I come to break the relationship, you will all be very safe."
Tuoba Shao's eyes were determined, and he waved his sleeves and said: "You hurry up and retreat. Even if I become a prisoner, I will never live alone."
As Tuoba Shao's adviser, Li Xiangyang immediately said: "General manager, you can't do this."
Da Xipu, Che Kunji and others persuaded him one after another and expressed their willingness to take the rear position.
"Brother, absolutely not!"
Tuoba Zhen was also very anxious.
Although he likes Mingzhe to protect himself on the battlefield, when it comes to Tuoba Shao's safety, Tuoba Zhen said unambiguously: "Brother, if you are captured by Zhao Shan, our team will be finished. I am willing to stay and act as the queen." Brother retreat."
"no!"
Tuoba Shao gritted his teeth and refused.
His eyes were firm and he said in a deep voice: "This battle has been a complete defeat, and one person is needed to carry it all. As the commander-in-chief of the march, I have unshirkable responsibilities, and it is the right thing to sacrifice one's life."
"I am getting old, you are the future of the Wei Dynasty. Only with you can there be a future Wei Dynasty, and only then can we have the opportunity to enter Daqian for revenge in the future."
"You can't go to the rear. It's not worth losing anyone."
Tuoba Shao further said: "No more words or persuasion, you retreat at full speed. Li Xiangyang, you are my adviser, you must follow me back to protect everyone from being held accountable."
Everyone was silent.
No one expected that Tuoba Shao would say such words at a critical moment.
"What, are you disobedient?"
Tuoba Shao's eyes were sharp and he scolded: "You are either my disciples or my relatives. Aren't you disobedient? Are my words useless?"
Tuoba Shao glanced behind him again. The Xuanjia Army cavalry was rumbling on its way, and the distance was getting closer and closer.
At a rough look, it's only a few miles away.
Tuoba Shao was anxious and ordered: "Tuoba Zhen, you take the lead in retreating."
Tuoba Zhen gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, I..."
"Shut up!"
Tuoba Shao glared angrily and ordered: "What, are you going to disobey military orders?"
Tuoba Zhen wanted to reject Tuoba Shao's words, but when he saw Tuoba Shao's eyes, he gritted his teeth and said, "Yes!"
"The entire army retreats."
Tuoba Zhen shouted and then evacuated first.
After Tuoba Zhen evacuated, Tuoba Shao turned to look at Da Xipu, Che Kunji, Puzhong, Qiu Dunliang and others. They all had no choice but to retreat. In the blink of an eye, all the main troops evacuated, and Li Xiangyang also retreated.
The main backbone generals of the Northern Wei army retreated, leaving only Tuoba Zhen and more than a hundred soldiers who followed him.
Among the soldiers, only a few had war horses.
Everyone else was infantry.
All the war horses in the camp have run away. Those who can ride are the backbones with a certain status, and the war horses are always with them.
Tuoba Shao unsheathed his sword and stood firmly on the horse, waiting.
There was a look of determination in his eyes.
Staying behind the throne was, on the one hand, to protect Tuoba Zhen and others, and on the other hand, he was determined to die and planned to die as a martyr. If he died, he would be responsible for this defeat.
Boom! !
The cavalry was getting closer and closer, and Zhao Shan and Zhou Huhou led the Xuanjia Army to catch up.
Zhao Shan rushed to the front. When he saw Tuoba Shao who had stayed behind with his sword in hand, and no other Northern Wei generals, he understood Tuoba Shao's intention in an instant.
After Tuoba Shao broke off, it was just for a short delay to buy time for others.
Furthermore, Tuoba Shao may be seeking death.
Zhao Shan had further thoughts in his mind. He could not let Tuoba Shao succeed. Because old guys like Tuoba Shao are valuable and can negotiate with Emperor Tuoba Hong of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
This time Zhao Shan went to war with the Northern Wei Dynasty. On the one hand, he wanted to completely defeat the army of the Northern Wei Dynasty. On the other hand, he wanted to get benefits and then go back to clean up the mess in the country.
This is the ultimate goal.
There is no point in spending endless time with the Northern Wei Dynasty. To completely destroy the Northern Wei Dynasty, we currently do not have the strength.
Zhao Shan charged quickly on horseback, getting closer and closer to Tuoba Shao.
"retreat!"
Tuoba Shao shouted an order.
In an instant, Tuoba Shao shook the reins of his horse and quickly broke out to the left to evacuate.
Zhao Shan could not give up and continued the pursuit with the Xuanjia Army.
The two sides chased for nearly a quarter of an hour, and the distance narrowed to within thirty steps.
Tuoba Shao no longer retreated, turned his horse's head directly, raised his sword and shouted: "Kill!"
After the words fell, Tuoba Shao led the few remaining cavalry to attack Zhao Shan. He is the marching general, but he is also proficient in martial arts. Like Wei Polu, he is a veteran on the battlefield. He has martial arts at his side, but Tuoba Shao uses it less.
Tuoba Shao's war horse galloped, and in a few blinks of an eye, it was close to Zhao Shanhou, and he struck down with his sword.
Zhao Shan raised his sword to attack.
clang! !
The two swords collided, Long Yuan's sword cut iron like mud, and Tuoba Shao's sword broke with a click.
Long Yuan's sword continued to chop down, but Tuoba Shao let go and threw the sword at this moment, closed his eyes without avoiding it, and let Zhao Shan's sword fall down.
"It's not that easy to die!"
A sneer appeared at the corner of Zhao Shan's mouth, and the sword edge turned, and the hilt of the Long Yuan Sword hit him.
boom!
The hilt of the sword hit Tuoba Shao's chest, with a moderate impact. Tuoba Shao fainted as if struck by lightning and fell from his horse to the ground.
