Lan Yun carefully searched and advanced on the mountain road with a cavalry, and finally walked out of the mountain road after a while.

"General, look!" A cavalryman pointed to the north and shouted.

Lan Yun looked to the north, only to see smoke billowing from the sky in the distance, and his face changed: "It's not good, it's the direction where Wuchuan City is located!" ”

At this moment, a few Rouran cavalry suddenly fled to the north not far away.

"It's the Rouran guard post!" Lan Yun shouted, and immediately waved his hand and shouted: "Follow me to chase and kill, you must kill them!" ”

A Shi's cavalry quickly followed Lan Yun to chase wildly, and the first few Rouran cavalry quickly scattered and fled.

Lan Yun saw that his heart was not good, these Rouran guard posts scattered and escaped had a greater chance of survival than a concentrated escape, and it was more difficult to chase and kill, so he had to send someone back to report the news immediately.

He shouted to one of the cavalrymen: "You go and report to the king, the smoke is billowing over Wuchuan City, and several Rouran guard posts have fled, and the army must pass through the mountain road as quickly as possible, otherwise once the Rouran people get the news, they will come and block the army on the mountain road!" ”

"Yes, General!"

Not long after, Zhao Junsheng, who had just passed through Baidao Pass, received a report and immediately ordered: "The infantry and baggage can be slowed down a little, and the cavalry should all advance at full speed, and assemble at the mountain pass as quickly as possible!" ”

After receiving the order, the armies immediately trotted their horses, and some of the positions on the mountain roads were wide enough to walk five or six horses side by side, and some were narrow enough to walk only two horses, so even if the speed was fast, it was necessary to be orderly, otherwise it would be easy to fall into the valley and fall to pieces because of the crowding.

The speed at which the soldiers crossed the mountain road was really unbearable, and the situation ahead was not known, but Zhao Junsheng couldn't care about it so much, and he personally led the team at the front.

When Zhao Junsheng led the team out of the valley, he really saw billowing smoke rising from the sky in the direction of Wuchuan City, this must be the Rouran people and the people who came to Daqian to kill the city, otherwise there could be thick smoke billowing above the city wall, unless the Rouran people built a trebuchet and threw fire oil bombs.

"Hurry up, hurry up, the people behind speed up!" Zhao Junsheng rode his horse and stood by the exit of the mountain pass, shouting incessantly, and the cavalry who had already walked out of the valley assembled at the mountain pass according to his orders.

After half an hour, the cavalry of the Qianjun army who walked out of the mountain road was less than 3,000 people, Zhao Junsheng was a little anxious, and kept urging the people behind him to speed up.

At this time, a cavalryman came galloping from the north, and shouted anxiously: "Great king, the Rouran people have been killed!" ”

Zhao Junsheng involuntarily turned his head to look at the north, a few miles away, there was really a large group of cavalry coming quickly, and a few cadres and cavalry at the front were chased and fled in embarrassment, and when they ran closer, Zhao Junsheng found that one of them was the forward general Lan Yun.

Looking at these Rouran cavalry again, he was afraid that there were not five or six thousand people, and he knew that at this time, he couldn't wait for the soldiers and horses behind him to get out of the valley, and he had to meet them immediately, otherwise it would be too late for the Rouran cavalry to rush to him.

He immediately made a decision, grabbed his spear and beat his horse, ran to the front of the battle, and shouted to the nearly 3,000 men and horses who had been assembled: "The Rouran cavalry has received the news and killed it, soldiers, we must immediately meet the attack, and win time for the comrades in the rear to cross the valley. ”

"Kill-" Zhao Junsheng took the lead and rushed towards the enemy.

"Kill—" The cavalry of the cadre army roared and beat their horses, and rushed behind Zhao Junsheng towards the oncoming Rouran cavalry.

I haven't seen the Rouran cavalry for more than ten years, and at this moment, Zhao Junsheng actually felt that these Rouran cavalry were so "kind", and the blood in his body seemed to be heating up rapidly····· Boils.

The shouts of killing spread all over the mountains and fields in all directions, the shaking of the ground distance, the sound of horses' hooves rolling like thunder, the flags whirring in the wind, the war drums and trumpets sounding in unison, and where the cavalry of the two sides passed, smoke and dust rose into the sky.

Seeing that the distance was getting closer and closer, Zhao Junsheng took out the longbow from the bow bag and held it above his head, everyone saw his movements and understood what he meant, and they all took out their riding bows and opened their bows and arrows to shoot at the oncoming Rouran cavalry.

"Whoosh ······" The rain of arrows kept falling on the heads and bodies of the Rouran cavalry, and those who were hit by the arrows fell off their horses one after another.

Not to be outdone, the Rouran cavalry, who were hit by the rain of arrows, also entered the range of their bows and arrows after losing a lot of manpower, so they fired arrows at the dry army one after another.

The two sides fired arrows at each other before they actually came into contact and fought, causing each other's lives to be extremely fragile, and the unlucky were shot dead on the spot or trampled into flesh by horses' hooves.

Lan Yun, who was fleeing back, also immediately hit his horse and turned around and ran at the front of the team to counterattack, Zhao Junsheng shouted: "Lan Yun, bring some people to attack the enemy's flank from the right flank!" ”

"Understood!" Lan Yun raised his voice and waved to the outstretched cavalry: "Follow me!" ”

At this time, it was less than fifty steps away from the Rouran cavalry, and it was too late to divide the troops to the left flank, so Zhao Junsheng took the rest of the men and horses to rush towards the Rouran cavalry with all his might.

"Kill-" Zhao Junsheng burst out, and the spear in his hand stabbed nine times in an instant, and the nine cavalrymen who came on board were stabbed to death and fell off their horses almost at the same time.

A bright big knife cut horizontally, the blades were in front of him, Zhao Junsheng quickly fell on the horse's back, the blade was close to the tip of his nose, and a chill passed from the tip of his nose to his brain, making him extremely conscious.

After the blade, he got up, and the spear in his hand stabbed to the side and back like lightning, and a soft little handsome was stabbed and fell off the horse.

When he turned back, two heavy maces were smashed in front of him, he grabbed the spear with both hands and held it, "Dangdang" two times in succession, Zhao Junsheng pulled the two maces away, and the spear swept away with one move, and the spear head swept the two Rouran cavalry from the middle of the body.

Zhao Junsheng relied on strong marksmanship and superb riding skills in the enemy's formation, "poof, poof" the spear in his hand kept making moves, each move and each style had to take away a life, the enemy's blood had stained his robes red, and unconsciously he had taken a part of the men and horses from the Rouran army to open a bloody road, and the rear cavalry had been entangled with the Rouran cavalry at this time.

Zhao Junsheng turned his head and saw that there were more than 500 people behind him, he didn't slow down, and pulled the reins to make the war horse quickly turn and go back.

"Let's go, go back with Lone Kill!" Zhao Junsheng waved his hand and shouted, "Kill-"

"Kill—"

The Rouran cavalry, who were fighting fiercely with the cavalry of the cadre army, heard the sound of shouting and killing from the rear again, and the flanks were also attacked incessantly and a large number of shouts of killing, and they were panicked for a while, and they turned around and ran away.

The Rouran army was composed of troops from various tribes, and they did not often practice together on weekdays, and there was no military discipline to speak of, so it was not surprising that many of them turned around and fled in fear when their flanks and backs were attacked.

Where was Zhao Junsheng willing to let go of such an opportunity, he immediately raised his spear and shouted: "Soldiers, chase me and kill!" ”

"Kill—" At this time, only the shouts of the cavalry of the Qianjun army kept spreading all over the mountains, but the Rouran cavalry was frightened and buried their horses and galloped away in the direction of Wuchuan in the north.

"Whoosh" Zhao Junsheng shot three sharp arrows at a time, and several Rouran cavalry in front of him shot down their horses in response.

At this time, Zhao Junsheng had already led his soldiers and horses to chase and kill the Rouran cavalry for more than ten miles, and the first four miles was Wuchuan City, and the outside of the city was full of dense Rouran cavalry, and the fields around the city had been trampled by the hooves of the Rouran cavalry.

At this moment, a Rouran cavalry appeared in front of him to meet those routs, Zhao Junsheng swept his eyes, he was afraid that there were four or five thousand people, he immediately pulled the reins, the war horse maintained its speed and turned, and galloped away in a circle in the direction from which it came.

"Withdraw, all with me!" Zhao Junsheng shouted while beating the horses, after the battle just now, the physical strength of the horses and soldiers was seriously consumed, and it was not appropriate to come to meet the Rouran army at this time.

Mo Gu, the general of Rouran who came to respond, saw that the cavalry of the Qianjun army who were chasing and killing had withdrawn, so he stopped his horse and did not pursue until Zhao Junsheng ran away with his men and horses before turning around and returning to the camp of the Rouran army outside Wuchuan City.

Wuchuan City has been breached, just an hour ago, but the defenders of Wuchuan have launched a fierce battle with the Rouran army in the city, they are fighting to the death with the Rouran people in every house and every alley, and the Rouran people have set fire to the houses in order to clear the defenders as soon as possible, which is why Lan Yun just walked out of the mountain road with the reconnaissance team and saw billowing smoke rising above Wuchuan City.

"Newspaper - Qiqi Khan, General Mo Gu is back!" A Rouran soldier ran in and bowed down to the Rouran Khan Wu Ti to report his respects.

As soon as the words fell, Mo Gu quickly walked in with a scimitar and saluted his chest: "Qiqi Khan, the advance of the Qianjun army has retreated, but Mo Gu thinks that they will soon have a large group of cavalry rushing over!" ”

Wu Ti is now thirty-eight years old, the impulsiveness and immaturity of his youth have faded, and now he has become calm and majestic, he turned his head and asked the son of Daqian, Lai Qiu: "Come to the general, how many men and horses are there in the army?" ”

Lai Qiu said: "Counting the infantry, there should be 37,800 people, including 30,000 cavalry!" ”

Wu Ti listened to Qiu Qiu's words, he secretly pondered, he originally brought 60,000 cavalry, including 20,000 Gaoche people, Rouran all the troops added up to 40,000, a few days ago when he waved his army to attack Wuchuan City, there was a warning signal from the northeast, there were about 15,000 troops composed of cadres and other miscellaneous Hu is coming quickly to Wuchuan Town, in order to take Wuchuan, he ordered his brother Qi Liegui to lead an army of 20,000 to go around and delay, and the remaining 40,000 were led by him personally to continue to attack Wuchuan City.

In the past few days, the loss of the siege of the city is quite large, Wu Ti still has more than 33,000 people, he compared the strength of his own hands with the strength of the cadre army, and felt that he did not have an advantage, the key is that although Wuchuan City was breached, but not all of it was occupied, there are still a large number of resistance forces in the city, once the cadre army brigade comes to attack, if he leads the army to meet the attack, he has to worry about the defenders in the city counterattack.

After thinking for a while, Wu Ti looked at Princess Tuzhen, who was recuperating on the side, and asked, "Sister, how do you think we should deal with it at this time?" ”

Princess Tuzhen got up at this time and walked out: "Withdraw the army quickly, otherwise you won't be able to leave even if you want to leave in another hour!" ”
