After all, marching at night is different from that of the day. In addition, the sky is full of ice and snow, the roads are slippery, and the Tuyuhun army carries a large amount of supplies. Therefore, in the four hours from Hai hour on the first day to Mao hour on the second day, the long army retreating eastward only marched four times. Ten miles away.
When the first ray of dawn shone on the earth, Tuoba Kuan was tired, hungry and cold, and even his eyebrows were frozen white. Ever since they conquered Lenghu Camp and entered Dunhuang County on Murong Yong's order. Thirty thousand soldiers and horses had just left Dangjincheng and rushed all the way to the Lenghuyuan camp. Then, they went into the battlefield without any rest, and the original defenders fought for three days.
After a day of high-intensity fighting during the day yesterday, the soldiers were already exhausted and exhausted. They walked for four hours in the heavy snow and wind at night. If they continued like this, a large number of soldiers in this army would definitely fall behind and eventually become A delicious meal for tigers and wolves.
Seeing that the terrain in this area was open, with mountains and jungles in the north and south to block the blizzard, it was a good place to make fires and cook food, so he wiped the snowflakes off his face, rode up to Murong Xun, and said in a hoarse voice: " Lieutenant Commander, the physical strength of the soldiers is very low. If we continue like this, our weak bodies may not be able to withstand the cold wind and snow, nor can we deal with possible enemies. I think we should stop and rest for a while."
"Yes, Deputy Marshal! We can't go on like this." Another captain looked at Murong Xun and said, "There are trees around here. We cut them down to make a fire and let the soldiers have a bite of hot food. "
Murong Xun knew that they were right to worry, and when he saw the generals surrounding him looking at him eagerly, he nodded and gave the rest order: "Go ahead and rest for two hours, and then set off again after two hours."
Although two hours was short, it was better than continuing the forced march. When the general's orders were passed down from level to level, and the entire army gathered their livestock, they went into the forest to chop firewood; soon there were piles of blazing fires in the wilderness. The soldiers gathered around the bonfire and either used helmets to boil water, or used weapons and branches to wrap dried meat and put it on the fire to bake.
Murong Xun also sat with a group of generals beside a large blazing bonfire. Everyone had just finished eating and was warming themselves by the warm fire. They suddenly felt sleepy and didn't even want to move.
"Boom, boom, boom." At this moment, there was a faint sound of thunder behind him, and the ground beneath his feet suddenly shook. Murong Xun suddenly opened his eyes, and his face turned pale. The faces of the generals around him also changed drastically at this moment.
They know very well what this momentum represents. This is the movement that occurs when the cavalry is rushing to march. At this moment, they are isolated and helpless, so you can imagine who the enemy is. "The enemy is attacking, fight!" Murong Xun suddenly stood up from the sheepskin blanket and shouted in his voice.
"Woooooooo!" In an instant, the trumpet sounded loudly, and the soldiers of the Tuyuhun army who were sitting or lying were in confusion. They stood up in fear and prepared to find horses to fight, but it was already too late. On the distant horizon to the west, A black line continued to squirm and thicken where the sky and the earth met, and an imposing iron cavalry charged into the army with overwhelming force in the desperate eyes of many Tuyuhun soldiers.
For a time, the rear formation was in chaos, and the soldiers did not care about anything else. They took long strides and fled to both sides of the road, trying to avoid the powerful attacking cavalry. ….
"Jing Zhaowei Yunqi is here, Murong Xun dares to fight to the death with me?" In the battle formation, the Mo Dao in the hand of a general was dotted with cold stars. Wherever it passed, corpses were left on the ground, rushing left and right in the formation. , not giving the army a chance to assemble at all, and in a moment, the rear position completely collapsed.
Why is Wei Yunqi here?
In fact, it was Murong Xun's fire that caused it. The fire that burned down the camp burned half of the sky red and could be seen dozens of miles away. When Wei Yunqi judged that the fire started in the direction of the Tuyuhun camp, he thought Seeing that the beacon smoke had already reached Lenghuyuan, they speculated that Murong Xun was going to escape, and their escape route was only the Yema River.
However, there was a misunderstanding in judgment, which led to the fall of the Sui camp in Lenghuyuan. Wei Yunqi discussed it with his deputy, Pei Xingyan. Unexpectedly, Pei Xingyan also had the same view. After the two of them combined, they decided that Pei Xingyan would lead 2,000 victorious troops to help Lenghuyuan. , while Wei Yunqi led his eight thousand main force to change direction and pursue him toward the northeast, hoping to catch him off guard.
Three or four hours ago, the scouts finally passed the fire
The dragon-like team discovered the Tuyuhun army and monitored the whole process.
Wei Yunqi learned that his judgment was correct, and that the Tuyuhun army was very slow, and he was relieved; after all, his mission was to rescue the Sui army in Lenghu, but he made the decision without authorization and boldly changed the direction. If he judged He couldn't bear the responsibility for the mistake.
Fortunately, he won the bet.
So he followed Tyuhun's army calmly and calmly.
Not long ago, when I heard that Tuyuhun had stopped to rest, he speeded up and led the victorious army forward from Tuyuhun's rear army.
As the sound of weapons clashing with each other was heard, broken limbs and broken arms were flying all over the sky, and pillars of blood shot out, instantly covering the peaceful land with a layer of blood-red color full of fishy smell.
"Kill, kill, kill!" Sui soldiers shouted excitedly. They rolled into the enemy group like a violent wave breaking through a dike.
The victorious army was the elite among the elite. The sound of their horse hooves was like thunder and their momentum was like a stormy sea. They rushed unstoppably towards the densely packed Tuyuhun soldiers, killing them so much that they turned their horses on their backs and became a mess.
Although Murong Xun's army was more than three times as numerous as the Sui army, they were unable to withstand the Sui army's sharp offensive. They were killed in a chaotic manner. Countless people were trampled under the iron hooves of war horses without even being able to scream. , groups of people were cut down to the ground like rice grains, their bodies were covered with blood and blood.
"Don't panic, there are not many enemy troops, form up to meet them!" Murong Xun was so angry that he almost vomited blood again. He knew that the Sui army in Lenghu Plain was unable to pursue, so he deployed the most elite soldiers in front to prevent possible dangers ahead. Sui soldiers, while miscellaneous soldiers were deployed behind. Unexpectedly, this sudden cavalry was like a sharp knife, stabbing into his weakest point. But after all, he is an experienced general, and he knows that the soldiers behind him are the best human shields and can buy time for the elite division.
Although Murong Xun relied on his personal prestige to stabilize the hearts of the elite division, Wei Yunqi, who had stopped after killing the scattered soldiers, could still see at a glance the weaknesses of Tuyuhun's front army, that is, their left and right sides and rear Everything is unstable. ….
"General Cheng, you lead two thousand cavalry to bypass the enemy's insurgents and go straight to the enemy's rear. You must not let them deal with it calmly." Wei Yunqi ordered Cheng Yaojin who was accompanying him.
"I will obey your orders!" Cheng Yaojin raised his fists in salute, waved his horse and shouted, "Soldiers, follow me to kill the enemy!"
"Kill!" The two thousand cavalry suddenly launched, following Cheng Yaojin like a torrent towards the southeast. This move of the Sui army puzzled many Tuyuhun rebels, but the pressure was suddenly relieved, which was a good thing after all.
However, Murong Xun, who was commanding the soldiers to form a cavalry formation, changed his expression. The Sui cavalry did not withdraw, but made a large circle and attacked directly in his rear. He hurriedly shouted to Tuoba Kuan: "General Tuoba , you lead your troops to intercept the enemy, and you must intercept them."
"General, I obey!" Tuoba Kuan responded and led his army to chase the Sui cavalry. The departure of Tuoba Kuan caused loopholes in the formation that the Tuyuhun army had finally put together.
How sophisticated is Wei Yunqi? How could a good opportunity be missed? He waved his sword and shouted loudly: "Keep killing!"
"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooth, the Sui army's soldiers burst out with a cry and rushed towards the gradually stabilizing Tyuhun army. A deafening killing sound sounded, followed by another wave of more ferocious attacks." assault!
"Kill!" When the two thousand cavalrymen turned around to fight back, they were like a sharp knife piercing the back of the Tuyuhun army. Cheng Yaojin faced the charging enemy and let out a violent roar. Ma Shan didn't make any unnecessary movements, he just kept level with the ground and pushed hard forward.
"Kill!" Behind them, rows of cavalry quickly pressed down the spears in their hands, forming a huge cavalry formation. The spears with flashing cold light gathered into a forest of death, like a peerless general crushing them forward. , all humans and animals died wherever they passed, leaving only pieces of mutilated corpses.
The military formation Tuoba Kuan had just formed was in pieces, and the Sui soldiers gradually expanded during the charge, forming a huge cone-shaped formation. With the power of crushing all living creatures, they launched a wave of condensed blood towards the front. .
The ground beneath his feet retreated like a tide. The enemy's screams ignited Cheng Yaojin's bloodthirsty and pride in his chest. The Tuyuhun army was completely stunned by this powerful army. The morale they had just built up was ruthlessly destroyed in an instant. , one by one, running for their lives in various places in the wilderness.
"Withdraw!" Tuoba Kuan felt his scalp really numb for a while. His previously fiery will to resist was like being poured down by a basin of cold water, which chilled his heart. He reined in the horse's reins and prepared to turn sideways. Fleeing.
"Hold on!" Cheng Yaojin had already set his sights on this general, but there were still a large number of enemy troops in the middle. He was afraid that the general would escape, so he immediately roared on his horse and shot away the horse spear in his hand.
"Pfft~" As Tuoba Kuan screamed, the horse sank into his body and fell off the horse with him and his body.
Cheng Yaojin was overjoyed. He casually grabbed a thrusting spear. The sword was unsheathed and a cold light flashed. Half of the body of a cavalryman flew out. He snatched the opponent's spear away and used it to destroy the dead without stopping. With great force, he killed the enemy soldiers who were dodging one after another.
The spear in his hand was circling and flying, and every time he swung it, there was bound to be death or injury, ranging from missing arms and legs to serious ones being killed on the spot. All living creatures that stood in front of him were killed. In just a few seconds, with his personal courage, he killed the Tuyuhun soldiers all around and scattered their corpses on the ground, forming two walls of flesh on the left and right.
Cheng Yaojin calmly pulled out his horse's bow from Tuoba Kuan's body and roared filial piety again: "Kill!"
"Kill, kill, kill!" The general's bravery greatly inspired the soldiers. The soldiers burst into earth-shattering roars, and their halberds and iron spears soared into the sky with murderous intent. Like an unstoppable divine blade, they struck directly at the center of Tuyuhun.
"Kill!" Wei Yunqi was also extremely brave, and the warm blood and minced meat sprayed on his shirt and armor and gradually became sticky and cold.
Thousands of soldiers of the Victory Army behind them were swallowed up like a tsunami, charging towards the Tuyuhun army from the front. Tuyuhun was attacked front and rear, and the left and right wings were defeated first. The Tuyuhun soldiers were already frightened, but they were attacked by such a fierce cavalry. The killing was caught off guard, and the retreat wave quickly swept through the entire army. The soldiers scrambled to escape for their lives, abandoning their helmets and armor and fleeing in all directions.
In this battle, 20,000 enemies were killed, more than 3,000 of them were captured, and countless grain and materials were seized. General Murong Xun also died among the rebels. The three armies in the western theater of Tuyuhun were all defeated.
