Tuoba Hong believed that he was well prepared. He could definitely defeat Zhao Shan whether he calculated mentally or not. He might still have a chance to kill Zhao Shan and achieve great achievements. Once Zhao Shan is killed, the Wei Dynasty will be leaderless and civil strife will continue. Maybe it will be possible to overthrow Da Qian and take over the Central Plains.
Even if Zhao Shan cannot be killed, defeating Zhao Shan's army can further avenge Youzhou and seize the bridgehead into Daqian in the Central Plains.
No matter how you look at it, the situation is favorable to Tuoba Hong.
Unexpectedly, he was defeated in an instant.
Tuoba Hong didn't even understand how he lost.
Tuoba Hong looked at the scene of the soldiers collapsing, and for a moment he thought of retreating. But Tuoba Hong was unwilling to give in. If he retreated now and the army collapsed, he would be killed like never before, and there would definitely be countless casualties.
This is what Tuoba Hong doesn't want.
Besides, he has close to 100,000 men under his command, and the troops and horses are strong. Even if Zhao Shan is ambushed and prepared, he may not lose.
Tuoba Hong ordered: "Send the order, no one is allowed to retreat, counterattack and kill back."
"If you kill one enemy, I will reward you with one tael of silver. If you kill ten enemies, I will reward you with 10 taels of silver, and you will be promoted to one level. If you kill more than 100 enemies, you will be rewarded with one thousand taels of silver, and you will be promoted to three levels and be granted the title of Marquis."
"Whoever can capture Zhao Shan, I will make him the King of Youzhou and use it to control Youzhou."
"We will fight to the death today and never retreat."
"I will personally guard the rear. Those who retreat will be killed without mercy."
Tuoba Hong kept giving orders, telling the soldiers to counterattack. After the order was passed down, the soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty were inspired. Thinking of the reward for killing the enemy and meritorious service, they were inspired to fight back.
It is a pity that the soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty were unable to defend themselves in front of the Xuanjia Army. In the blink of an eye, they were scattered by the Xuanjia Army led by Zhao Shan and Zhou Huhou.
The Xuanjia army is well-equipped, and the swords were forged by Cao An and are extremely sharp.
Zhao Shan and Zhou Huhou charged again, and they were almost invincible.
Even when they encountered the Northern Wei Dynasty's Heavenly Wolf Cavalry and Forbidden Army Cavalry, and the cavalry collided, the Xuanjia Army continued to advance forward.
When Zhao Shan charged forward, Tuoba Zhen was not far from Zhao Shan. Tuoba Zhen commanded the soldiers to counterattack, without any intention or fighting spirit to fight Zhou Huhou.
He was frightened.
Tuoba Zhen was afraid of Zhou Huhou, but not afraid of Zhao Shan. The moment he saw Zhao Shan, his eyes suddenly became hot.
Zhao Shan is here.
This is a God-given opportunity.
Once Zhao Shan is killed, Da Gan's army will collapse. This is an excellent opportunity to capture the thief and capture the king. Moreover, the emperor has ordered that if Zhao Shan is captured, he can be named the King of Youzhou.
Tuoba Zhen's heart was extremely hot.
On the one hand, he ordered the soldiers to continue blocking, and on the other hand, he quietly approached Zhao Shan. He did not fight out immediately because he was worried about being discovered by Zhou Huhou. When Tuoba Zhen and Zhao Shan were less than twenty steps away, Tuoba Shao picked up his spear and rode out to kill them.
With a flick of the spear, he killed the Xuanjia Army soldiers blocking the front and threw them to the ground, less than six steps away from Zhao Shan. The war horses stirred up, and Tuoba Zhen no longer hid, shouting: "Zhao Shan, you lost your life here today."
When the spear was raised, the tip of the spear bloomed with cold light and pierced Zhao Shan's chest.
Zhao Shanyi was so bold that he raised the Long Yuan Sword and swept it across, hitting the gun barrel with a snap, causing the gun barrel to be swung away.
Tuoba Zhen was dissatisfied with the exchange just now, so he took back his spear and prepared to counterattack. However, Tuoba Zhen was faster and Zhao Shan was even faster. The Long Yuan Sword swung in the air and slashed down quickly.
Tuoba Zhen raised his eyebrows and secretly said that Zhao Shan was so fast.
He held the gun with both hands and raised the gun to resist. Long Yuan's sword hit the gun barrel in an instant.
Click!
The barrel of the gun broke, and Long Yuan's sword slashed down.
Zhila!
The sword blade struck Tuoba Zhen's neck as fast as lightning, cutting diagonally and leaving a bloody mark.
puff!
Blood splattered, and Tuoba Zhen fell from his horse to the ground, and the look in his eyes quickly darkened. With the only trace of consciousness remaining in his mind, there was deep shock on his face.
His gun is a really good gun. Even if the sword cuts the gun barrel, it will not be affected. But now it was cut off by a sword.
Zhao Shan is the emperor, why is he so powerful?
Tuoba Zhen didn't have time to think too much. Endless darkness invaded, instantly drowning Tuoba Zhen's consciousness. He lost his breath when his neck tilted.
Zhao Shan killed Tuoba Zhen and charged again with the Long Yuan Sword.
Because Zhao Shan didn't challenge Zhou Huhou, many people knew Zhou Huhou but didn't know Zhao Shan's background. The people of the Northern Wei Dynasty trembled when they saw Zhou Huhou, but they had some thoughts when they saw Zhao Shan.
Although Zhao Shan once led the Xuanjia Army to charge and break through Tuoba Shao's camp, there was no face-to-face battle. Many generals in the Northern Wei Dynasty had ideas, such as Puzhong, who was closest to Zhao Shan.
Puzhong was born in the Pu family of the Northern Wei Dynasty and was eager to establish greater achievements. When he saw Zhao Shanhou, he also wanted to make him king and came to kill him with a long sword.
As the two approached, Puzhong's eyes were excited and he struck at Zhao Shan with his knife.
The Long Yuan sword collided with the long knife. After the impact of the sword, the long knife left a gap, and the force of the shock caused Puzhong's blood to surge, and the hand holding the knife was numb. The expression on Puzhong's face changed drastically, and he turned around to run away.
"If you want to run away, there's no way!"
Zhao Shan was faster, thrust out his sword, and pierced Puzhong's waist with a thud.
The sword was drawn out and blood surged.
Pu Zhong held his waist tightly where he was stabbed, shouted "Zhao Shan, you are so cruel", and fell to the ground without breathing. After Puzhong was killed, Zhou Huhou also killed several Northern Wei generals at the same time, and the Xuanjia Army attacked like a wave.
The Xuanjia army charged, and Wei Polu personally directed the army to counterattack.
The already collapsed Northern Wei army, even if Tuoba Hong encouraged his soldiers to fight back with serious injuries, it was useless. The Northern Wei army continued to collapse.
Tuoba Hong saw this, and felt a strong sense of powerlessness in his heart.
"Your Majesty, Tuoba Zhen has been killed."
Urgent and panicked shouts came, and the soldiers ran back and reported loudly: "General Tuoba Zhen died miserably, and his gun was broken."
Tuoba Hong's heart skipped a beat.
Tuoba Zhen was his close confidant and Tuoba Shao's younger brother. He was in charge of the Sirius Cavalry and was also the backbone of the Tuoba royal family. First Tuoba Jian was killed, and now Tuoba Zhen is also dead. The power of the Tuoba royal family has been greatly weakened.
"Report!"
Just at this moment, another soldier shouted.
A soldier ran back and reported again: "Your Majesty, General Pu Zhong has been killed. Zhao Shan cut off General Pu's waist with one sword. He is a ruthless man."
hiss!
Tuoba Hong took a breath and felt a dull pain in his waist, as if he was in danger.
"Capture Tuoba Hong alive!"
There were shouts from the Xuanjia Army.
The sounds one after another echoed in the night sky with terrifying momentum, further urging the Daqian soldiers to advance with overwhelming force.
Tuoba Hong felt like he was falling into an abyss, his heart sank completely, he felt that the world was about to overturn, and all his thoughts were lost. For a moment, I didn't know what to do and completely lost my sense of proportion.
"Your Majesty, withdraw your troops!"
Tuoba Shao was extremely anxious and said loudly: "Your Majesty, we can't delay any longer and retreat as soon as possible."
"Capture Tuoba Hong alive!"
The shout came again.
The Xuanjia Army led by Zhao Shan continued to advance, getting closer and closer to Tuoba Hong's position. Zhao Shan discovered Tuoba Hong's dragon flag and stared directly in the direction of the dragon flag to kill.
Tuoba Hong hesitated for a moment, and when he saw Zhao Shan coming to kill him, he shuddered. Without any hesitation anymore, he ordered: "Withdraw the troops!"
Tuoba Hong turned the horse's head. He no longer had any thoughts of being competitive and just wanted to evacuate quickly.
After Tuoba Hong retreated, Tuoba Shao also retreated with him.
The Northern Wei Dynasty retreated across the board and was defeated like a tide.
Zhao Shan led the Xuanjia Army to advance forward, and there was no one blocking him in front. At the beginning of the Xuanjia Army's charge, there were many people blocking the front. However, after fighting for a period of time, the soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty were so scared that they ran away on their own.
The road in front of the Xuanjia Army is wide and they can rush forward smoothly.
Zhao Shan stared at Tuoba Hong's Great Dragon Flag, and even saw Tuoba Hong wearing golden armor under burning torches. He shouted: "The one wearing golden armor is the Northern Wei Emperor Tuoba Hong, seize the opportunity." he."
