Zhang Yan looked up at the starry night sky, looked at the chaotic moon, and suddenly pointed to the flickering Yanmingling on the opposite side and said, "What is Tuoba Feng thinking about now?" ”

"Today we hit Tuoba Feng hard, so that he lost his army, tomorrow, what will his army do? Tuoba Feng's biggest possibility is to quickly return to Cumulus Ridge, and attack the head of the Xianbei King from the north and south, open up the gallop road, and withdraw the troops from Yanmen Pass. ∮ Yan Moxuan ∮ no ads∮ secondly, he may ask for help from the Kuitou, wait for the Kuitou's army to come and rendezvous, and then join forces to attack the south again. There is also a possibility that Tuoba Feng is annoyed and angry, and simply makes a desperate bet and continues to attack tomorrow. ”

"You say, how will Tuoba Feng choose?" Zhang Yan circled around the fire, glanced at each general, and continued, "When I was at Yanmen Pass, the scouts speculated that Tuoba Feng had gathered about 60,000 people outside Yanmen Pass according to the battle flags of the Xianbei tribes, which was almost all the troops of Xianbei in the north. In other words, this time to attack Yanmen Pass, the ambitious Tuoba Feng has made up his mind to take advantage of the excellent opportunity of this great chaos in northern Xinjiang to take the state and lay a solid foundation for his future domination of the prairie. ”

"If the scout's judgment of Tuoba Feng's strength is correct, then we can now calculate that north of Cumulus Ridge is 15,000 men of Kuitou, and south of Cumulus Ridge is 30,000 men of Tuoba Feng and Luoluo. The benefits from Luo Luo's southward invasion were negligible compared to Tuoba Feng's, so he definitely had to preserve his strength. If there are still 10,000 people in the hands of Luo Luoluo, then Tuoba Feng will only have 20,000 at most, or even 20,000. Tuobafeng's 60,000 men were defeated 40,000, and although 30,000 were Han Nu and Hu people of various tribes, his own iron cavalry had lost at least more than 10,000. Judging from the fact that he led 50,000 people to attack Danhan Mountain last year, the strength of Xianbei in the north is between 60,000 and 70,000 at most. Now his strength has plummeted, and at most it is equivalent to the strength of a tribal marshal. In this case, Tuoba Feng may have realized that we had fallen for our plan to kill the enemy. If you were Tuoba Feng, what would you do now? ”

"Xianbei in the north has no strength, and the head of the Xianbei King will not let him go. As long as he returns to the prairie, the leader will definitely gather the other tribes to attack Tuoba Feng. As a tribal lord, from the perspective of his own interests, he may not be able to help Tuoba Feng get out of trouble. For the sake of his own future, in order to keep the northern Xianbei and his position in the prairie, the wisest thing to do is to preserve his existing strength, immediately return to the northern Xianbei, and prepare to face the leader. ”

"Therefore, Tuoba Feng will definitely not make a desperate attempt to attack again. Now, in order to preserve his strength and return to Xianbei in the north safely, he must garrison Yanmingling with Luoluo and let the king take Cumulus Ridge. Under the circumstance that the leader did not know the battle situation of Yanming Ridge, it was very likely that they would continue to storm Cumulus Ridge according to their original plan and lead the troops south to rendezvous. Tuoba Feng wants the leader to fight with us in Cumulun Ridge, which will be beneficial to him. And we also hope that when Kuitou is storming Cumulus Ridge, Tuoba Feng will not do his best to attack him from the north and south, so that Yang Feng can concentrate his strength to hit Kuitou and achieve our goal of killing a large number of Xianbei people. ”

"But......," Zhang Yan said loudly, "who can guarantee that Tuoba Feng will not do his best to attack Cumulus Ridge with the north and south of the Kuitou?" That's why we retreated on our own initiative. We pretended that the army was in a state of confusion and could not afford to fight anymore and withdrew in a hurry, and Tuoba Feng would immediately find himself in a dilemma. Withdrawing to the outside of the Saiwai, he lost his troops and lost his generals, gained nothing, and in the future, he would face attacks from other tribes, and so many people died, and finally got such a tragic ending, how could he be willing? If we don't retreat, Tuoba Feng can take advantage of the fact that we are about to collapse to strike another heavy blow and completely defeat us to occupy the state. In this way, all the purposes of his invasion were achieved, and with the population and wealth of the annexed state, the day of his domination of the prairie was just around the corner. At this time, what will Tuoba Feng do? The only thing he had to do was to urge the king to hurry south to join him, and besides, he would not send a cavalry to support Cumulus Ridge. At this time, any soldier is a valuable asset to him. ”

"Will the leader help Tuoba Feng fight the world? Will the leader attack Cumulus Ridge regardless of losses? Huang Ting hesitated for a moment and asked suspiciously.

"Yes, that's the crux of the matter." Zhang Yan waved his hand and said, "We don't know how the Xianbei tribes will redistribute their territories after the annexation of the state, but we know that the leader will not help Tuoba Feng become stronger, he just wants to kill Tuoba Feng before he is strong and get rid of this scourge that threatens Danhan Mountain." Now that the Xianbei people are working together to invade the Great Han Kingdom, Kuitou, as the king, cannot see death without saving, let alone fall into the well, otherwise he will lose part of his hearts after returning to the prairie. The leader will definitely attack Cumulus Ridge, but he will not attack Cumulus Ridge with all his might. ”

"After a few days of fighting, the Xianbei people suffered great losses, and Cumulus Ridge was unable to take it for a long time, and Tuoba Feng had no choice but to give up his greed and withdraw his troops unwillingly. With these few days, we can get plenty of time. As soon as Tuoba Feng withdrew, we immediately regrouped our troops and horses, pursued and fought fiercely, and fought hard to attack Tuoba Feng again on Cumulus Ridge. Even if we can't kill him, we will beat him half to death, and when he returns to the prairie, he will be a wild dog at best, being chased and fleeing in all directions. ”

"If Tuoba Feng is not fooled, what if he will gather heavy troops to attack Cumulus Ridge tomorrow?" Zhang Baiqi asked worriedly, "Only Yang Shuai's 20,000 horses on Cumulus Ridge are the elite of the Yellow Turbans, and the other 80,000 people, including Peng Shuai and Lei Shuai's ambush men and horses, are all Tuntian soldiers, and their strength is very weak. And there is no danger to defend on Cumulus Ridge, if Yang Shuai is attacked by the Xianbei Iron Cavalry from the north and south, and the soldiers are overwhelmed and scattered, then the Xianbei people will not withdraw their troops from the fortress, but will gather heavy troops to go south again. Yesterday, our morale was so high, but the 30,000 Tuntian soldiers were still swept away by the Xianbei people. The combat effectiveness of the Tuntian soldiers seems to be really vulnerable at present, and they are the same as the Yellow Turban soldiers who followed the great sages and good teachers to raise troops in the past, relying on courage and faith, rather than strong force. ”

"Let Master Xiangkai go to Cumulus Ridge to drum up the morale of the whole army." Huang Ting suggested.

"The master is too tired, and besides, the master rushing to it now may not be able to boost morale." Zhang Yan shook his hand and said, "I have already sent someone to Cumulus Ridge and asked Yang Feng to tell the soldiers of the whole army that we have won the battle in Yanming Ridge." Now it's up to them to stop the Xianbei deserters in Cumulus Ridge. As long as I can kill more Xianbei people, even if the 100,000 army on Cumulus Ridge is wiped out, I will not hesitate to do it. ”

The generals looked at the murderous Zhang Yan in amazement, no one dared to speak out anymore, and the atmosphere in the big tent was very depressing for a while.

"If Tuoba Feng withdraws his troops tomorrow, will we chase after him?" Wang Dang had calmed down a lot by this time, and he hurriedly asked.

"Chase." Zhang Yan said without hesitation.

"What if Tuoba Feng attacks again tomorrow?"

"We swear to stop him in Wuli Pavilion." Zhang Yan waved her fists and shouted, "Even if the whole army is annihilated, it will not hesitate." ”

"Order the whole army to retreat overnight."

When the officers and men of the Yellow Turban Army heard the order to retreat, they immediately became a mess, and the excited junior officers and non-commissioned officers surrounded their respective commanders, roaring loudly, and even waving their swords at each other. Fall back? The battle is like this, and you still retreat? No one can understand. The roars, the scoldings, the cries, resounded through the night.

The generals of the various ministries were unable to carry out the order, and they returned to the big tent one after another to discuss with Zhang Yan.

Yu Yigen rushed into the big tent and shouted angrily at Zhang Yan: "Dashuai, there is no way to withdraw, the soldiers are in chaos, everyone was originally demoralized, and they were ready to fight to the death tomorrow, but with such a withdrawal, it is not the morale that is high, but the resentment is high." ”

As if he hadn't heard it, Zhang Yan pointed outside and said, "You take people to see those chariots, and take all that you can use." ”

"Chariots?" Yu Yigen laughed angrily, "That's also called a chariot?" Don't be ashamed. Just that thing, two wheels and a board, that's also called a chariot? Don't say that if the horse hits, even if you smash the person down, the carriage will also fall apart. knew that this car array could not stop the Xianbei people, so it was better to burn it at that time. ”

Zhang Yan smiled: "Chariot? Do you know how much it costs to make a chariot? Don't say that we can't afford it, even when Huangfu Song led the northern army to fight us, we didn't have it. Don't look down on these baggage carts, they are as good as nailing a few spears. If it weren't for this car formation blocking the speed of the Xianbei people today, our ballista would have been able to kill so many Xianbei people? Will our soldiers have only such a few casualties? ”

Yu Yigen said very dissatisfied: "The marshal still feels sorry for the lives of the soldiers? The marshal used 50,000 Tuntian soldiers as bait, so that they were killed by the Xianbei people within two days, and the marshal still knew the life of the heartache soldiers? Dashuai's heart has long been stone. Yu Yigen paused, glared at Zhang Yan, gritted his teeth, and suddenly said, "Dashuai is not only a stone in his heart now, but even his eyes are blind. You listen to everything from the Zhenbei General's Mansion, and you don't think about the Yellow Turban Army at all. Li Hong and Xu Rong used this method to easily kill our Yellow Turban Army cleanly, handsome, are you really blind? ”

Although the Yellow Turban General also felt the same way, everyone was still surprised when they suddenly heard Yu Digen say this, and a group of people looked at Yu Digen blankly, not knowing how to dissuade him.

Zhang Yan was furious and shouted, "Shut up for me." What is the Yellow Turbans? The Yellow Turban Army is the Yellow Turban Army of the Great Han Kingdom, whether we are the ant thieves of the imperial court or the border army of the Great Han, whether we are alive or dead, we are all people of the Great Han Kingdom. Even if we are all traitors when we are dying, we are also traitors of the Han Kingdom, can you change this? Today, when we are faced with the invading brute, you still say such things, have you forgotten your ancestors, and have you forgotten the parents who gave birth to you and raised you? We have enmity with the imperial court and the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, but we have no enmity with the Han Kingdom and the people of the world. What's wrong with the Yellow Turban Army fighting for the Han Kingdom and the people of the world? Even if 200,000 people die in a battle, what's wrong? What's not to do? My eyes are blind, but I know a hundred times more clearly than those of you who have no conscience and have forgotten your ancestors. ”

Zhang Yan suddenly faced the generals and shouted: "None of you are Han, stand up for me!" ”

Yu Yigen's face was ashamed, and he bowed his head and was silent. Wang Dang, Huang Ting and other Yellow Turban generals were speechless in shame. There was a dead silence in the tent.

Zhang Baiqi coughed dryly and said in a low voice: "Fifty thousand Tuntian soldiers killed 20,000 opponents in two days, and the results were brilliant. They are all heroes of the Han Kingdom, warriors of the Yellow Turban Army, and they did not die in vain. ”

"My heart is stone? Am I ruthless? With tears in his eyes, Zhang Yan looked up to the sky and sighed, and said sadly, "If I wasn't ruthless, how could Tuoba Feng gather 40,000 horses to attack us today?" If I hadn't been ruthless and had used the Yellow Turban Elite and Ballista yesterday, would the Xianbei people still attack us today? Will the Xianbei people have such a large number of casualties? Can Yang Feng still stay on Cumulus Ridge now? If I am not ruthless, how can the cunning Tuoba Feng be fooled? How could we be hit by a blow and scarred? I can not sacrifice these 50,000 Tuntian soldiers, but the iron hooves of the Xianbei people will not be ruthless, they will kill all our 100,000 people, and they will kill the people of Taiyuan and Shangdang counties all over the field. You know what? ”

"Let's take a step back and say, if our 50,000 elite soldiers are not soldiers who have survived a hundred battles, if they have not rested and trained in Bingzhou for more than a year, if they have not obtained the best weapons in the Jinyang arsenal, and if it is not for the 50,000 Tuntian soldiers in front of us who have consumed a large number of the enemy's troops, can we successfully inflict heavy losses on the 40,000 iron cavalry today?"

"Without the Zhenbei General's Mansion, without the trust of the general, without the help of Xu Rongzuoyan, Li Wei and other adults, can our Yellow Turban Army fight this battle? Can we win this battle? Can we defend the country for the people of the state? Can our Yellow Turban Army build a reputation for eternity? ”

"Get me out of the battlefield immediately." Zhang Yan's face was like frost, and he said in a cold voice, "Whoever disobeys the order will be killed!" ”

Tuoba Feng, Luoluo and a group of Xianbei leaders stood on the Yanming Ridge, looking at the Yellow Turban Army in the distance in the firelight and retreating in panic, they couldn't help but look at each other and be surprised.

After Luoluo hurried to Yanming Ridge, Tuoba Feng, who was extremely frustrated, had fire in his eyes and wanted to eat him in one bite. Today, if it weren't for the army that had fallen into Luoluo and fled, the Xianbei Iron Cavalry had a great hope of breaking the Yellow Turban Army. As long as the last barrier of the Yellow Turban Army is defeated, as long as the Yellow Turban Army is completely defeated, the annexation of the state will be at your fingertips, and the entire northern Xinjiang will also fall under the iron hooves of the Xianbei people.

After listening to Tuoba Feng's complaints, Luo was not angry, he said a few words, so that Tuoba Feng who was angry gradually calmed down.

From Xu Rong's abandonment of Yanmen Pass, Zhang Yan's blockade of Yanmingling, to Yang Feng's raid on Cumulus Ridge, the Han people dragged the Xianbei people to the brink of defeat step by step. Looking back now, it is clear that the Han Chinese made elaborate preparations to defeat the Xianbei people. They abandoned the Yellow Turban Army in Yanmen Pass and showed weakness everywhere, the purpose was to lure the Xianbei people into the hinterland of Bingzhou, and then use the terrain and numerical advantages to kill the soldiers of the Xianbei people, consume the troops of the Xianbei people, and finally achieve the goal of defeating the Xianbei people, driving away the Xianbei people, and stabilizing the entire northern Xinjiang. Luozhi Luoluo said that now it is not only necessary to guard against more and more Yellow Turban troops, but also to guard against other Han armies to reinforce them, such as the iron cavalry of Liyi, the elite soldiers of the Northern Army, and the reinforcements of Jizhou. The Han people have a large population, and they can raise tens of thousands of people to fight at will, so it is better to give up the march to Jinyang and withdraw the troops back to the grassland. If the fight continues, the person will finish the fight, and the consequences will be self-evident.

Tuoba also changed his mind. The Yellow Turban Army facing today is not the Yellow Turban Army at all, and its combat effectiveness even surpasses that of the leopard Li Hong's infantry army. During the Battle of Boluo Valley last year, the 30,000-strong army commanded by Ri Ri and finally almost defeated Li Hong's blocking infantry army, but today's Han army formation is too powerful, and under the attack of 40,000 iron cavalry, not only was it not broken, but the Xianbei people were beaten out. At that time, even if the cavalry of Xianbei in the west did not flee from the battle, the final outcome of the battle between the two sides would definitely be a defeat for both sides. At that time, even if the Xianbei people completely annihilated the Yellow Turban Army, they would not be able to continue to attack Jinyang in the south.

Today's 50,000 Han troops are not only good at fighting and sharp, but also have ballistas. The Hu people all called the ballista a ballista. At the time of Boluo Valley, Li Hong's infantry army did not have this thing, so it can be seen that the identity of this army is definitely not the Yellow Turban Army, and it is very likely to be the most elite northern army of the Han people. This time, I fell for the tricks of the Han people again.

Tuoba Hui said to Tuoba Feng that yesterday the Han people exchanged the price of the annihilation of the entire army for the result of today's annihilation of 15,000 Xianbei iron cavalry, and the main general of the opposing party who commanded this battle was definitely not Zhang Yan. Zhang Yan will not take the lives of his 30,000 Yellow Turban soldiers as a child's play. At present, it seems that the Han general who commanded the battle was not only ruthless, but also determined to completely annihilate the Xianbei people.

Luo Luo strongly persuaded Tuoba Feng to withdraw his troops immediately. He said that the Han people deliberately set up this plan, and the Xianbei people did not hear the wind at all in advance, which shows that the Han people have a fine layout and have the absolute certainty of victory, which is a sure victory, and there may be a killing that we don't know about later. The current plan is to let the king gather troops to occupy Cumulus Ridge first, and then the army will meet, hug together, slowly withdraw from Yanmen Pass, and stabilize the four northern counties. The northern frontier of the Han people was hit hard by this, and it was difficult to recover without more than ten years. After more than ten years, the four northern counties and some prefectures and counties in Youzhou had already been firmly occupied by the Xianbei people, and at that time, the Han people were unable to take it back.

The implication of Luoluo's words is very clear, you Tuoba Feng will die of the heart of dominating the grassland, be an honest tribal adult, follow the back of Danhan Mountain, and want to be the king of the Xianbei people, there is no door.

Tuoba Feng's army lost 12,000 men in a battle today, which made him almost break down in heartache. Whether it was the Battle of Western Xinjiang or the attack on Yanmen Pass, he did not have such a big loss. This time, he led more than 60,000 people with great ambitions to realize his ambition and hegemony, but in the blink of an eye, his hegemony was cut off by the Han people. After a series of battles, there were less than 18,000 of the 60,000 men left, and with the 10,000 troops left in the tribe, his army was less than 30,000. Relying on these people can barely hold the northern Xianbei, and it is impossible to dominate the grassland. He comforted himself and said that as long as he kept these 30,000 people and held the four northern counties, he could still recruit the Han slaves again in the future, and then the Huns and Karasuma people in the territory, and he could also unite the Dongqiang people and the Huns.

He was ruthless, gave up the ** and hatred in his heart, and decided to retreat. Just as he was arranging the retreat, he heard that the Yellow Turban Army was retreating and fleeing. The ** in Tuoba Feng's heart was immediately rekindled.

In the distance, the Yellow Turban Army was burning the baggage carts that could not be taken away, and the flames were soaring into the sky. Tuoba Feng excitedly pointed ahead and said, "The Yellow Turban Army can't support it in the end. Immediately send someone to urge the king, and come to the rendezvous quickly. ”

Tuoba Han drew his knife violently and shouted: "We have won, we have won ......"

Luo Luo shook his head and sighed worriedly. Tuoba Hui stood behind Tuoba Feng and whispered solemnly: "My lord, the Han people are luring the enemy. If we retreat, of course, we will quietly flee, how can there be such a big commotion, as if we are worried that we do not know. ”

Tuoba Feng looked back and smiled: "The Han people are very cunning, virtual and real, and the tricks are one after another. They must have been worried that we would chase after us, so they deliberately made such a big fuss that we hesitated and didn't dare to chase them. But fighting a war depends on strength, and if you can't fight it, you can't fight it. ”

"They withdrew, what about the Yellow Turban Army on Cumulus Ridge? What are they doing in that mortal place? Hearing this, Luo Luo asked unceremoniously.

"The Yellow Turban Army is also scattered, and the commanders of each department have their own thoughts and orders. In these years, there is an army and a territory, and only words have weight. Tuoba Feng didn't care, and said happily, "Why did the emperor of the Great Han Kingdom appease Zhang Yan's Yellow Turban Army and make him a lieutenant general?" It's not because Zhang Yan has strength. If Zhang Yan finishes the Yellow Turban Army in this battle, you will look at his fate again, either fleeing into Taihang Mountain, or showing his head to the public. ”

"My lord, think about the battle during the day, although the Yellow Turban Army did not occupy any advantage, their morale was high, and they also had amazing ballistas, even if their losses were large, they would not flee in embarrassment, right?" Tuoba Hui persuaded again, "My lord, go back." ”

Tuoba Feng hesitated for a long time, and said categorically: "Garrison Yanming Ridge, wait for the king to come and meet." ”

The Xianbei generals bowed down in unison to obey the order.

Tuoba Feng looked at Luo Luo and said, "At present, our losses are still within a bearable range, and the army has not yet reached the point of exhaustion. In my opinion, let's take a look at the development of the battle situation and see whether the Yellow Turban Army on Cumulus Ridge will fight or retreat, and then make plans. This battle is not over yet. ”

****

On the fourth day of the war, in the early morning, Yanmen Pass.

Murong Feng stood on the top of the Ma Mountain Ridge, his fingers bathed in the night Yanmen Pass, and said to Tie Ao beside him with a smile: "Look, Yanmen Pass, we haven't been here for a few years?" ”

"It's been ten years." Tie Ao stroked his long beard and laughed loudly, "We haven't been here for ten years since King Tanshi Huai returned to heaven. ”
