Chapter 412

(Thanks to the King of Proudness, gb831027, Sicheng 1962 monthly ticket support, thank you for the reward of Feng, thank you for the mooncakes given to Muzi by Dafeng Bao, thank you for your support!)

Su Hongzhen, the commander of the Qianlu Army, and Tuoba Sigong, the governor of Youzhou, each led 3,000 troops and horses to march towards Lanzhou as the vanguard of left and right. After entering Lanzhou, along the way, they successively recovered Tianchijian and Loufanjian, led Chijian and troops to Jingle County.

Along the way, they didn't even see the shadow of the Shatu people. There were many grains and property in the city that the Shatu people had no time to take away. After asking the people in the city, they learned that the Shatu people had just escaped a few hours earlier than them several times. Su Hongzhen was eager to fight back to his territory and chased them all the way, but every time he was a little short of it.

"Soviet envoy, we marched continuously today, with people and horses exhausted, and we were already far away from Zhang Yuhou's central army. Look, should we rest here for a while and wait for Zhang Yu to wait for some time?" Tuoba Sigong has been completely wiped out by Zhenwu Army, and now he is a little afraid of Li Keyong and his son. The three thousand men and horses in his hands are already his entire capital. Although Youzhou is still recruiting soldiers, he dare not easily destroy these soldiers.

Li Guochang and his son had 10,000 elite Shatuo cavalry, and the two of them had 6,000 soldiers and horses. They were both cavalry, not only in terms of quantity, but also in terms of bravery.

At this time, a burst of rapid footsteps came from outside the door, and a scout came to report quickly.

"Reported to the north of the city, the Pioneer Su Pioneer Su and the Pioneer Tuoba, a cavalry was rushing towards him quickly. There were about three thousand soldiers and horses, all of them were cavalry. The black-clothed black armored black flag was Shatuo cavalry!"

When Su Hongzhen heard this, he immediately said, "Send the order and prepare for the battle!"

"Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding!"

The rushing alarm sounded long, and the six thousand people in Jingle County immediately prepared for battle.

Su Hongzhen and Tuoba Sigong ascended the city, and the three thousand Shatuo cavalry in the distance rushed towards him like a rapidly moving dark cloud. In a blink of an eye, they had already stopped at the city.

Su Hongzhen looked at the cavalry carefully, but did not find the banner of Li Guochang and Li Keyong, but only found a general flag with the word Kang. He knew a little about Shatuo soldiers. He guessed that the person who led the troops might be Kang Junli, the general under Li Keyong.

Seeing that it was not Li Keyong and his son who came together, Su Hongzhen immediately became much more courageous. He turned to Tuoba Sigong and said, "The Shatuo people are too arrogant. They only lead 3,000 troops to come and provoke. We have 6,000 soldiers and horses, which are multiples to the enemy, so we cannot show our fear. General Tuoba dares to follow me to fight out of the city and destroy this Shatuo cavalry?"

Tuoba Sigong was a little worried that Shatuo people would have conspiracy, but was agitated by Su Hongzhen at this time. I remembered that as long as I was cautious, there should be no problem, so I nodded and agreed to go to the battle.

The city gate slowly opened, and six thousand cavalry surged out of the city and formed a formation under the city. Six thousand cavalry were divided into two parts, Su Hongzhen and Tuoba Sigong each led the headquarters. The war horses neighed in the wilderness under the city. The spears were like forests, and the flags beat the sea.

Su Hongzhen ran away in front of the cavalry team, his voice echoing in the wind in the wilderness, "There are only half of the cubs of Shatuo wolf. Therefore, we have no reason to fail! We will win this battle!"

He held the war horse and pointed the black group in front of him. "Brothers, follow me to fight!"

The sound of hooves was like thunder and murderous intent, and the six thousand cavalrymen rushed towards the rebels.

In the north of Jingle County, the two armies stopped one mile away and formed their own formations. The Shatuo army took the initiative to attack, but listed the Yanyue formation. The Dangxiang people and the Lulu army listed a two-headed snake formation, preparing to advance in unison.

A fish-scale general rushed out from the Shatuo Army's horse, nearly seven feet tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, holding a long spear in his hand, and a four-foot-high Wulong horse under his crotch. He urged the horse to step forward, pointed the long spear in his hand straight at the official army, shouting: "Can anyone in the Tang army dare to fight with a certain battle?"

Su Hongzhen told Tuoba Sigong: "This person's name is Kang Junli, one of the seven generals of Yunzhou under Shatuofei Huzi Li Ya'er. He is not only extremely brave, but also Li Ya'er's confidant general."

Tuoba Sigong was not much surprised when the two armies fought one-on-one in front of the formation. Although it was a bit different from the common law, many Hu tribe soldiers liked to rely on their own bravery and did not have any rules when fighting, but they were just brave. Not only did the soldiers do this, but also the generals often did this. If the two armies fought one-on-one in front of the formation, not only would the morale of the army rise sharply, but they sometimes could even directly drive the troops to cover up and defeat the enemy.

Tuoba Sigong sneered, "Then let me go and meet him for a while!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tuoba Sizhong shouted, "Let me take the opportunity." After that, without waiting for Tuoba Sigong to agree, he immediately slapped out of the battle and stepped forward.

Kang Junli was a general under Li Keyong. When he saw a cavalry general flying out of the enemy formation, he looked like he didn't look like a general in Tang, but was dressed in Hu. After a moment, he guessed that the other party was a Dangxiang person. He was furious and came to fight with his horse and spear.

Although Tuoba Sizhong came with fierce momentum, he was not panicked and retreated his horse back to avoid Tuoba Sizhong's ferocious wolf-toothed spear. He lifted the horse spear and stabbed Tuoba Sizhong's heart. This spear was extremely sharp.

With a sound of "Dang!", the horse spear hit the wolf-toothed spear pole, blocking the spear. The arms were numb. Tuoba Sizhong felt awe-inspiring in his heart. He did not dare to underestimate the enemy, and immediately used all his strength. The wolf-toothed spear was more fierce than the other, and smashed Kang Junli.

Kang Junli had discovered Tuoba Sizhong's weakness, that is, although he was powerful, his moves were insufficient with these two arms. Suddenly, he no longer fought with him, but instead danced a long spear, a two-meter-two-meter-tall horse spear weighing 18 pounds, but in his hand, he danced like a dragon going out to sea, with twelve spear techniques continuously.

The two fought for dozens of rounds, and Kang Junli became more and more brave as he fought. He shouted loudly, and his long spear was like a dragon, stabbing Tuoba Sizhong directly into the heart of Tuoba Sizhong. The gun was extremely fast and unstoppable. Tuoba Sizhong had already smashed the wolf-toothed spear at this time, and he had to raise his remaining strength in his busy schedule. With a sound of shock, this one only opened a little, but Kang Junli took advantage of the momentum to move the spear up and attacked his throat from his chest.

Seeing that he could not hide, Tuoba Sizhong was completely disappointed.

At this moment, an arrow was so fast that the tip of the arrow reached Kang Junli in the blink of an eye, which was faster than his long spear. Kang Junli knew that it was not good when he heard the sound of the wind, and instinctively blocked it. With a swish, the arrow barely wiped his face and drew a ferocious blood groove on his face. The blood immediately flowed down, dyeing half of his face red. Kang Junli screamed in pain, and his spear stabbed him, and a spear stabbed Tuoba Sizhong weakly.

At this time, another arrow shot. Kang Junli hid in a hurry and avoided it without any danger. However, the opponent fired a cold arrow, but Kang Junli could not fight any further and quickly fled to his own formation.

Tuoba Sizhong survived the disaster. Looking back, he saw that the person who had just shot the arrow to rescue was Su Hongzhen.

Su Hongzhen put away the bow and arrow, and Tuoba Sigong thanked his younger brother very much. Su Hongzhen laughed and said, "Some trivial matters are not worth mentioning. Now Kang Junli is defeated, and we are taking this opportunity to cover up the killing!" After saying that, he turned around and ordered the drums and the whole army charged.

Tuoba Sigong thought that this was not a good time to attack, but Su Hongzhen saved Sizhong's life just now. So he didn't have much to say, so he nodded and agreed to the attack.

The sound of the war drums of the dongdong dong had already been heard, and the whimpering horns had also sounded. Six thousand cavalry attacked with both heads, rolling dust and smoke rose, and shouts were like thunder. Iron hooves were scattered, spears were like forests, and the army covered them and killed them.

After Tuoba Sigong's prediction, Kang Junli, who had defeated the challenge alone, did not form a formation to fight, but fled instead.

The three thousand Shatu cavalrymen had already retreated north without waiting for the battle. Tuoba Sigong and Su Hongzhen actually successfully killed many Shatu soldiers. Su Hongzhen was overjoyed. The Shatu people were just like this. It seems that the Shatu people were defeated several times and are now depressed.

"The entire army is pressing forward and pursue the victory. We must annihilate these three thousand Shatu soldiers!" Su Hongzhen said excitedly.

"The Soviet army envoy, the enemy fled before the battle. This is strange. It is likely that it was the Shatuo people's deception and despair of defeat and lure the enemy!" Tuoba Sigong said quickly. The trajectory of the five thousand soldiers of the Zhenwu Army was right in front of them. They were ambushed by the Shatuo people.

Su Hongzhen said disdainfully: "The Shatuo people are just like this. So what if there are ambushers? How can we be afraid of 6,000 soldiers and horses? If General Tuoba is afraid, please stay with you."

After saying that, Su Hongzhen ordered the pursuit to continue. Tuoba Sigong saw that he could not stop him, so he had to bite the bullet and pursue him down. However, perhaps because of the advice, although Su Hongzhen led his troops to pursue him, he still maintained a very good formation.

The army pursued all the way and soon entered the mountains of Luliang. Kang Junli went into a valley ahead. Su Hongzhen was alert and ordered that the army be reorganized outside the valley and then enter the valley at a neat formation.

Sure enough, as soon as he entered the valley, he heard a shout of killing from all sides, and a Shatuo ambush appeared. The one who came to the left was Li Guochang, and the one who came to the right was Li Keyong. Although Su Hongzhen was shocked, he also plucked up the courage to command the rush. Tuoba Sigong rushed forward together at this time.

The two armies fought to the death. After a long time of melee, the Shatu people were the first to be unable to support them. They left hundreds of corpses and thousands of war horses and defeated northward.

"The Crow Army is just like this. The elite cavalry of a hundred battles? I think it is vulnerable!" On the battlefield, Su Hongzhen, who was stained with blood, laughed, "The wounded soldiers in the town of Menzhen will stay, and leave hundreds of people to clean the battlefield. We will continue to pursue. This time, we will definitely capture Li Guochang and his son alive."

The victory was won, but Tuoba Sigong was still full of worries. He knew the strength of Shatuo's army, how could it be defeated so easily in their hands?

"Soviet envoys, we defeated Li Guochang and his son in one battle, and the brothers were exhausted. Should we rest here for a night first and wait for the troops of Zhang Duyuhou?"

Su Hongzhen laughed: "I said, Brother Tuoba, you wouldn't want to say that this is the Shatuo people's plan to deceive defeat and lure the enemy, right? The hundreds of Shatuo cavalry corpses in this valley are not fake with the thousands of war horses. What's more, in the battle just now, Li Guochang and Li Keyong, the two thieves' capitals, were almost captured. How could this matter be a fraud? The Shatuo people did cheat before, but their ambush has been defeated by us. Now, there will be no ambush. Li Guochang is too late to escape. If we delay here, then these two big fish will run away."

The other officers also looked at Tuoba Sigong with anticipation: "General, fight!"

Although Tuoba Sigong also served as the vanguard envoy, he was originally a guest army. Secondly, he was the right vanguard envoy, and was under the left vanguard envoy Su Hongzhen. At this time, seeing that everyone wanted to make merits, he could not stop him, so he had to agree. At the same time, he was thinking in his heart that maybe he was a little bitch-like, and Li Keyong and his son were not invincible. Didn’t he defeat Li Guochang before? Now he defeated him again. Maybe he could capture these two thieves once. This is a great achievement.

"Since everyone asks that they should go to war, then it is up to the Soviet army's will. However, it is best to send a messenger to the central army Zhang Du Yuhou to report the situation here. On the one hand, he reports the victory to Zhang Du Yuhou, and on the other hand, he asks Zhang Du Yuhou to lead troops to follow, thinking that it is a complete plan." Tuoba Sigong said last.

"Okay, let's do it according to General Tuoba's wishes." Su Hongzhen said cheerfully.

In this battle, more than 500 people were killed in Shatuo's army and more than 100 people were seriously injured and left on the battlefield. All of them were directly chopped off by Su Hongzhen. Su Hongzhen's Lie Army and Tuoba Sigong's Dangxiang Army also suffered considerable losses. Nearly a thousand seriously injured people were killed in the two armies, with more minor injuries, and the casualties ratio reached 2 to 1.

Immediately, Su Hongzhen and Tuoba Sigong discussed it, left more than 300 slightly injured soldiers, responsible for cleaning the battlefield and taking care of the seriously injured.

After a while of rest, after drinking water and eating dry food, the two of them continued to pursue the army with more than 4,500 cavalrymen.

The Shatuo people were always in front of them, but they couldn't catch up. Su Hongzhen was so angry that he kept scolding him. He chased him until dusk the next day. From time to time, the Shatuo people's war horses were seen dead on the roadside from time to time along the road. Su Hongzhen was overjoyed and ordered to speed up the march.

After chasing for a while, I finally saw the Shatuo people running forward.

The Lu Army and the Dangxiang Army cheered and followed the Shatuo Army to chase after him, and unknowingly entered a valley.

Tuoba Sigong saw that the valley was in danger, and a bad feeling had already arose in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Where is this place?"

Someone next to him replied: "This is Honggu!"

Tuoba Sigong was shocked, "Honggu? Isn't it the place where Li Ke used the trick of seducing the enemy in Cao Xiang to be ambushed and defeated? No, this is Li Ya'er's trick. There is an ambush here, so retreat quickly!"

Tuoba Sizhong was a little disbelief: "Then Li Ya'er could not have been defeated in Jingle, but she set up the ambush in the flood valley. The two places are hundreds of miles apart."

"I don't have time to talk about these people, please withdraw quickly!"

"Brother, General Su has led the Lehu Army to kill in." Tuoba Sizhong thought of Su Hongzhen and saved his life.

"I can't care about so much. No matter how late we have to make a living here." After saying that, Tuoba Sigong immediately ordered the entire army to retreat.

As soon as the retreating military order was heard, there were a burst of shouts of killing coming from all over the world, and ambushing soldiers rose up everywhere. Li Guochang and Li Keyong, who had previously fled in a panic, immediately turned around to fight, but there was no sign of despair. The Lu Army rushing in front was immediately trapped in a siege. The Dangxiang cavalry wanted to retreat, but a cavalry rushed over from the entrance of the valley, blocking their retreat.
