Zhang Chun was overjoyed when he learned that his brother Zhang Jing had captured Lucheng, and hurriedly summoned his subordinates to discuss the withdrawal of troops with the three kings of Karasuma, Qiu Liju, Wuyan, and Su Fuyan.

The fiasco of Jiting had a lot to do with the escape of the Karasuma people, but Zhang Chun did not dare or was willing to complain about the Karasuma people. The battle is what he strongly advocates to fight, and the defeat is also something he expected, and it is already very good for the Karasuma people to resolutely support themselves to fight this battle regardless of losses, and it makes no sense to blame the Karasuma people again. Moreover, after the army withdrew to Liaoxi, it must rely on the support of these Karasuma people, otherwise they would not be able to defeat Liu Yu and Gongsun Chan on their own strength alone.

Now that the leopard has been hit hard, it is difficult to recover in a short period of time, and Zhang Chun and Karasuma have achieved their goal. As long as Li Hong is unable to go east into Liaoxi and Liaodong, everyone will be fine.

"After the leopard experienced the battles of Changping and Jiting, he suffered heavy losses, and Liu Yu fought from Zhuocheng, and lost more than half of his troops, and the two lines of the Han army were exhausted and could not bear the battle." Zhang Chun twisted his short beard in his hand and said angrily, "Murong Feng, an old and cunning thing, is the best at taking advantage of the fire to rob." When we were inseparable from the Han army, he watched the excitement on the side, and he didn't stretch out his hand, and now we are both defeated, and he ran faster than a rabbit, not only taking the opportunity to occupy Yuyang City, but also taking advantage of a large area of land south of Yanshan. ”

"The most unbearable thing is that he shamelessly said that this is the time to save us from the difficulty." Zhang Chun scolded a few words hatefully, and then said, "Let the leopard beat him and see how long he can last?" It would be better if the leopard beat him to death and let this greedy old creature die. ”

Qiu Liju said: "With Murong Feng dragging the leopard in Yuyang, we can sit back and relax when we go back to Liaoxi." ”

"It's not enough to sit back and relax." Zhang Chun said, "Unless there is chaos in the state, the leopard is helpless, and the Han Kingdom is too busy to take care of itself, then we will really have peace of mind." ”

"Let's get out early." Wu Yan said worriedly, "The leopard cavalry is in the area of Yongnu and Lucheng, once they take Lucheng back, we will have to make a detour to Yuyang to return to Liaoxi." Walk from Yuyang, if you are ambushed by Murong Feng......"

"Yes, yes. Murong Feng is cunning and treacherous, his methods are ruthless, and he turns his face and does not recognize people. Su Fuyan hurriedly agreed, "He sees that our strength has suffered a huge loss, and he will definitely not let us go easily." If he takes the opportunity to slaughter us, Liaoxi and Liaodong will be in his pocket. ”

A hint of horror flashed in Zhang Chun's eyes. Who is Murong Feng? He is a tiger, an unbeatable tiger. Seeking skin with a tiger is indeed playing with fire*. So far, he has not taken any advantage of him, but he is taking advantage of himself. Murong Feng just moved his mouth, but as a result, he gave him a lot of money and materials, gave him the city, and gave him the land, in the end, would he give him this life?

"We can go, but we have to leave people down to defend Jicheng." Zhang Chun said, "Defending Jicheng can hold back the forces of Leopard and Liu Yu, and prevent them from having the opportunity to divide their troops to pursue." The longer Jicheng holds out, the safer we will be, while Leopard and Liu Yu will be in distress. ”

The generals were silent, bowing their heads one by one. At this time, no one wants to stay and die.

Zhang Chun looked at everyone and sighed: "I am a dignified Yan country, but I don't even have a hot-blooded man?" I think that when the great sages and good teachers got up, how many generous and tragic people followed him, willing to throw their heads and spill their blood, and there were countless heroes who died without surrendering to the river and dying, and now ......"

"I'll stay." Before Zhang Chun finished speaking, Tian Qiang raised his hand and shouted, "I'll stay and defend Jicheng." ”

＝＝＝

Zhang Chun left 5,000 horses to defend the city with Tian Qiang, and he took the rest of the more than 10,000 soldiers to retreat in the direction of Lucheng with the Karasuma Iron Cavalry.

When Yan Rou received the news, he was leading his troops to stay by the Gushui River. Since Zhang Jing had heavy troops stationed on the pontoon bridges of the Gushui River and the Baoqiu River, Yan Rou had no good way to quickly cross the river and rush to meet Zhao Yun near Lucheng. Although he was familiar with the terrain of this area, it was too long to cross the river from other places. Yan Rou was worried that she would delay the opportunity to annihilate the enemy, so she didn't make up her mind for a long time. At this time, he suddenly heard that the rebels were out of the city, and he could not help but be overjoyed, and immediately ordered the army to prepare for the attack.

When Zhang Chun arrived at the Gushui River, he saw that the pontoon bridge temporarily erected by Zhang Jing was very simple, not to mention the carriage, it was dangerous to pass people. The Karasuma people didn't care about the many and took the lead in leading the horses across the river. Zhang Chun told Qiu Liju that the infantry and cavalry took turns to cross the river and take care of each other so as not to be raided by the Han army.

Yan Rou heard the scouts say that some of the Karasuma people's iron cavalry had formed a blocking position on the west bank of the Gushui River, and were protecting the rebels from crossing the river. Yan Rou and Jiang Wu discussed it for a while, and felt that the timing of the attack was not good. Jiang Wu's battalion of cavalry had already lost more than 1,000 people in the Battle of Jiting, and if they launched an attack at this time, they would definitely be blocked by the Karasuma people. Just when the two were at a loss, the scout came to report that Zhao Yun's cavalry had suddenly appeared between the Gushui River and the Baoqiu River, and they had launched a fierce attack on the rebels. The Karasuma Iron Cavalry on the west bank of the Gushui River was crossing the river and preparing to rush to support.

Yan Rou didn't hesitate any longer, waved his hand and shouted: "Attack the rebels, attack immediately." ”

＝＝＝

After Zhao Yun and Liu Ming decided not to attack Lucheng, they immediately thought of a way to block the retreat of the rebels. They took a long detour to cross the Baoqiu River, and then quietly ambushed themselves on the small plain between the two rivers. If the rebels want to retreat from the direction of Lucheng, they will have to pass through a small plain more than 50 miles wide in the middle of the two river pontoon bridges, and Zhao Yun estimates that the rebels may not be very vigilant at this time. hit him by surprise and caught him off guard.

More than 4,000 cavalry of the Han army suddenly killed, and the rebel foot soldiers immediately blew up, thousands of people cried for their fathers and mothers, and wolves rushed to disperse. The Karasuma Iron Cavalry was even more distraught and did not resist at all, and they galloped north along the small plain between the two rivers under the leadership of Uyan, the king of Khanlu. Uyan made up his mind not to turn back, and he was going to flee back to his territory from outside the fortress. The leopard's cavalry is elusive, and it is really difficult to parry.

At this time, Zhang Jing and Zhang Chun were also on this small plain, and under the escort of Qiu Liju, they fled to the Baoqiu River pontoon bridge.

Su Fuyan, who remained east of the Gushui River, was panicked and hurriedly commanded the cavalry to rush across the pontoon bridge, squeezing all the rebel soldiers on the pontoon bridge into the river. He didn't care whether the rebel soldiers were alive or dead, or whether the rickety pontoon bridge that seemed to be about to fall apart could be supported, and it was important to escape. Most of the rebel soldiers who fell into the river drowned, and few survived.

At this moment, Yan Rou led a large army to kill. The rebel soldiers who stayed on the west bank of the Gushui River were so frightened that they fled in all directions, and the soldiers panicked and trampled on each other, and there were countless dead, and many soldiers were driven directly into the river by the iron horsemen, and for a time the corpses on the river were densely covered with corpses, and it was unbearable to see.

"Blow the trumpet, rush across the pontoon, rush across the pontoon bridge......" Yan Rou led his troops to chase closely behind the Karasuma people, lest the Karasuma people dismantle the pontoon bridge after crossing the river and cannot cross the river. The Iron Knights followed, killing like thunder.

The Karasuma people were chased by the Han military rank and tail, and they were so frightened that they fled faster, not to mention that there was no time to demolish the bridge, not even time to see the road. Liu Ming, who was directing the Hun cavalry to chase and kill the rebels, suddenly saw another group of Karasuma people coming, and shouted excitedly, "Kill, kill......" The horn of the charge suddenly resounded through the small plain.

Su Fuyan thought that the leopard was coming with all the cavalry, his face turned white with fright, where did he dare to fight, "Go, go, go north, go north, ...... north" The Karasuma people in Liaodong also fled north.

Zhao Yun led a team of men and horses to chase after Zhang Chun like a wild race, and he wanted to take advantage of the chaos to take the pontoon bridge on the Baoqiu River with lightning speed. As long as the pontoon bridge is captured, the Northern Expedition army can directly cross the river and pursue the rebels without delay. Now Zhang Chun retreated in panic, indicating that the general had already won the battle in Jicheng, and the brigade would chase after him.

Yan Rou saw Liu Ming and asked loudly, "Where is Zilong?" ”

"Went east......"

"Let's go, let's go......" Yan Rou raised his knife and roared, "Don't care about these deserters anymore, catch up with them, and kill them in Lucheng......"

"Blow the trumpet, blow the trumpet, continue the pursuit, kill the enemy and go to ......"

When the scattered iron knights heard the horn, they immediately gave up chasing and killing the deserters, turned their horses' heads one by one, and galloped to the east, "Kill, kill to Lucheng ......"

＝＝＝

The pontoon bridge over the Baoqiu River is now in chaos, the rebel foot soldiers have lost their weapons, hugging their heads and running around, Karasuma Iron is riding a horse and galloping, swinging knives and slashing, everyone wants to escape to the other side as soon as possible, escape the killing, but the more chaotic it is, the more crowded together it is difficult to move an inch, and the pontoon bridge is overwhelmed, crunching and moaning, and it will fall apart at any time.

Qiu Liju was furious, pointed to the crowd on the pontoon bridge, turned back to the guards behind him and shouted: "Shoot, shoot ...... me"

"King, there are our people up there......" shouted a little marshal with a glare.

Qiu Liju chopped it off with a knife, and a bloody human head rose into the air, "Shoot me ......"

Suddenly, ten thousand arrows were fired, the arrows were like locusts, and the soldiers on the pontoon bridge howled miserably, and they were hit by arrows and fell into the water, and countless people fell down, and the blood immediately stained the Baoqiu River red. In the blink of an eye, there were no living people on the bridge.

"Quick, clear the bridge deck, ...... quickly"

＝＝＝

Zhao Yun took the lead, and the spear flew up and down, and no one could stop him. The Hun Iron Cavalry stepped forward and slashed wantonly, blood was pouring out, and limbs were flying.

The rebels gathered at the head of the bridge could no longer bear the fear in their hearts, and everyone cried wolf howls and rushed desperately to the pontoon bridge, and the Karasuma people guarding the bridge showed no mercy, with long arrows roaring and spears flying, killing corpses all over the field. The rebel soldiers could not advance or retreat, and suddenly dispersed, and for a time the river embankment was full of terrified fleeing people, and countless people fell into the water and drowned.

Zhang Jing watched the unstoppable Han army's iron cavalry getting closer and closer, and hurriedly ordered the guards to move the rejected horses discarded around to the middle of the avenue, blocking it for a while.

When Zhao Yun arrived, the spear went straight into the horse and struggled to fly. The rejection horse roared and churned in the air, and smashed to the opposite side with a bang, and several rebels could not dodge, and several were killed on the spot. Before everyone could react, the rejection horses on the avenue had been picked up by Zhao Yun one after another, and the hideous and terrible rejection horses were like fierce beasts with their mouths open, and they pounced with their teeth and claws, and the screams suddenly rose to the sky, and Zhang Jing's personal guards turned around and ran.

"Shoot, shoot him for me......" Zhang Jing was stunned by Zhao Yun's bravery, and roared nervously, hoarse.

The soldiers were terrified and anxious to flee, but no one heard. Zhang Jing was furious, and cut down several soldiers in a row, but this time he barely stopped the escape of the pro-guards, and scattered long arrows shot out. However, the Huns were faster, and the whistling arrows came like rain, cutting heads and covering faces, and immediately shot down a large number of them.

Zhao Yun handed over his right hand, and then provoked a rejection horse, and at the same time drew his knife with his left hand, roared, and blocked several long arrows in a row, "Brothers, kill ......"

Zhang Jing saw Zhao Yun galloping towards him, and the seventeen rejected horses were picked up by him, so frightened that he turned the horse's head, turned around and fled.

Zhao Yun roared angrily, and the spear in his right hand shot out in the air, piercing Zhang Jing's body with a thud. Zhang Jing let out a terrible scream, and was immediately provoked by Zhao Yun, and his body flew up like a cloud of blood rain with a canopy of blood. Zhao Yun arrived on a horse and aimed at Zhang Jing with a knife. The corpse was divided in two, falling into the dust, and countless horses' hooves flew by, and there was no trace for a moment.

Zhao Yun jumped onto the pontoon bridge and waved his hand and shouted: "Kill the ......"

＝＝＝

Zhang Chun rushed across the pontoon bridge, looked back at Zhao Yun, who was fighting on the pontoon bridge and was invincible, and then looked up at the dusty and galloping Han iron cavalry in the distance, angrily volleyed a whip, raised his head and shouted: "Go, let's go, stick to Lucheng, defeat the Han army ......"

Qiu Liju didn't listen to him at all, waved his hand and let his guards wrap Zhang Chun, and fled along the outside of the city with iron horses.

"Qiu Liju, what do you want to do? I'm going to Lucheng ......."

"You sober up, Lucheng can't hold it, go back to Liaoxi." Qiu Liju shouted, "The leopard is already here, his army is behind, let's go quickly." ”

Zhang Chun scolded loudly, his heart ached, and his tens of thousands of remnants of his troops were all lost in such a daze. Leopard, leopard, you are too ruthless, just chase me and fight. Suddenly, he remembered that there were more than 10,000 people in Yongnu City, and his spirit immediately perked up.

"Quick, quickly send someone to Yongnu and order Xian Yuchen and Badun to retreat immediately."

＝＝＝

The flow of people outside the west gate of Lucheng was surging, and the rebel soldiers rushed to the city gate as fast as they could, and the shouts of fear were earth-shattering.

The leader of the rebels on the tower of the city saw the Han army's iron cavalry coming to kill him, and he could no longer care about the soldiers fleeing outside the city, and shouted in panic: "Pull the drawbridge, quickly pull the drawbridge up, close the city gate......"

Zhao Yun, who led the army to gallop wildly, saw that the drawbridge was gradually pulled up, so he was so anxious that he kicked the horse's belly violently, and roared with his gun: "Brothers, shoot, shoot the city tower......"

The Huns were in a greater hurry than him, and they had already held their bows in their hands and pulled the strings to shoot sharply. Long arrows roared, fierce and ferocious. The leader of the rebels standing on the tower was caught off guard, hit several arrows, and fell on his back. The rebels on the tower of the city were in confusion, and they took refuge in all directions, and the drawbridge hung in mid-air.

"Quick, quick, kill the past, kill the past......" Zhao Yun was in a hurry, his whole body lay on the war horse, and even kicked the horse's belly, the war horse suffered pain, and used all his strength to run wildly at high speed, and the four kicks rose into the air in an instant, and in a blink of an eye, the rebel soldiers couldn't dodge, and they were knocked into the sky, their muscles and bones were broken, and their flesh and blood were blurred.

The Hun iron cavalry galloped while shooting intensively, and more than 2,000 horsemen rushed like a stormy wave.

Zhao Yun roared, and took off into the air at the high speed of the war horse, turned over and jumped onto the suspension bridge hanging in the air, and then he inserted a shot into the wooden plank of the suspension bridge, stopping the tumbling body, and then the fish jumped up, swinging his knife and slashing the arm-thick sling. The drawbridge fell with a bang. The Huns shouted for joy and rushed into the almost closed gates like a whirlwind.

Zhao Yun ran a few steps in a row, flew and jumped on the war horse, "Brothers, capture the city gate, fast, fast ......"

Yan Rou, Jiang Wu, and Liu Ming led the army all the way unimpeded, arrived quickly, and followed Zhao Yun into Lucheng.

＝＝＝

Late at night, Yan Wudaunt and his army gradually approached the north gate of Yongnu City.

Tian Yu's siege plan made Yan Wuxing hesitate for a long time. Tian Yu told Yan Wuxing that after the rebels captured Yongnu, many Peng Shi in the county government did not flee because their homes were in the city, and directly surrendered to the rebels. The rebels need them to manage the city, and they need to survive, so they are safe with each other. Tian Yu's family is a large scholar family in Yongnu, and in order to survive, their family donated all their property to the rebels. This time, General Zhenbei and Lord Liu were killed one after another, and the people of the Tian family wanted to take the opportunity to regain their property and dedicate the city to meritorious service. Tian Yu followed Xian Yuchen out of the city to build a bridge, the purpose was to find an opportunity to get in touch with the Han army.

"I will open the gates in the middle of the night." Tian Yu said, "The lord entered with an iron horse, and Yongnu City was the adult's." ”

Yan Wuxing said, "Why should I believe you. If you're a rebel, we're not going to die. ”

Tian Yu smiled and said, "If you don't have the guts, forget it." You were originally a bird in Yanshan, and you won't be too bold if you think about it. ”

Yan Wuxing laughed, "Your agitation is too old-fashioned, it's boring, you give me a trustworthy reason." ”

Tian Yu said: "Believe it or not, I'm leaving." ”

Yan Wuxing and his three subordinates spent a long time, and no one dared to conclude whether what Tian Yu said was true or false.

Yan Wuxing thought for a long time, and finally said resolutely: "Even if it is a trap, we must use this trap to knock Yongnu down." ”
