Tuoba Feng did not attack.

The whole army was annihilated, the life and death of the king and Lian were uncertain, and the morale of the Xianbei army was low, and attacking the Han army with high morale at this time had no meaning except for increasing casualties.

Tuoba Feng saw that the Han army in the Boluo Valley was regrouping and preparing for another battle, and immediately ordered the army to slowly retreat.

"The leopard's return to the Boluo Valley means that the battle on the Qingshi Shore has ended, and the 30,000 troops of the Great King and the King of the Nine Plains Banner, Dusk Gaiting, have been defeated." Tuoba Feng pointed to the black and oppressive Han army iron cavalry in the Boluo Valley, and said to the Ri Ri, "The king only passed the Boluo Valley this morning, and it has not been twelve hours until now, and the sixty thousand horses are gone. He shook his head again and again with a dejected expression, and sighed, "The leopard took advantage of the terrain of the Boluo Valley and the bluestone bank, gave full play to the advantages of infantry and cavalry, and raided back and forth between the two places at a distance of sixty miles, and each time won with an absolute advantage, which is amazing." ”

"We knew that after passing Liupan Mountain, we might be attacked by leopards, but we still couldn't guard against it, and as soon as we showed up, we were hit by him." Tuoba Yan coughed a few times and said hatefully, "The king is too impulsive, thinking only about his own merits. If he had waited for us to go south with him in Boluo Valley, why would he have been defeated today? ”

"It's all your family's fault." "He kept saying in front of the king that he would fight Chang'an, build Gaixun, and try his best to encourage the king to go south, but as a result, he not only buried the king and Danhan Mountain, but also accompanied my 20,000 horses and horses." ”

"What are you talking about?" Tuoba Han scolded, "My 10,000 horses are not people? If it weren't for your self-righteousness and random command, would my Tuoba warrior Bu Weehong die here? ”

"Tuoba Han, why did my handsome man command randomly?" Mang Zhengji pointed at Tuoba Han and scolded, "It's all your kid who is incompetent, greedy for life and afraid of death." The handsome told you to guard the way out, how did you keep it? Where did you go? ”

"Don't make any noise." Tuoba Feng shook his hand and gave Tuoba Han a whip, and scolded loudly, "The battle has been fought like this, what is the noise?" If the king dies, you will be buried in the valley of Boluo. ”

"Immediately send someone to bypass Boluo Valley and look for it all the way, no matter what, you must know the life and death of the king."

After the Han army saw the last group of Xianbei cavalry disappear into the darkness, they couldn't help but cheer in unison.

"Dahan...... Dahan ......"

"Hohoo...... Ho-ho...... Hohoo ......"

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

The night passed quietly.

Li Hong sat on a small horse in the rejection array, silent.

He looked at the soldiers who were busy coming in and out, smelling the strong smell of blood and charcoal in the air, and listening to the cheers and shouts of the soldiers one after another, and his heart was extremely heavy. Although this battle was won temporarily, he was no longer able to launch an attack on Fanting Mountain. If the Xianbei people stick to Fanting Mountain, and Dong Zhuo can't take Lingzhou to cut off the retreat of the Xianbei people, then the battle in the western Xinjiang will continue. How long can the treasury of the Great Han Kingdom last?

Helian has probably fled back, and in his anger, will he continue to lead his army south? If Helian gave up attacking Chang'an, the Xianbei people would have gained nothing by gathering 120,000 troops to invade the south this time, and the leaders of the Xianbei tribes would agree to withdraw with the company? The two battles completely annihilated the 60,000 iron cavalry of the Xianbei people, plus the enemy troops eliminated in the blocking of Sanguan and Fanting Mountain, the Xianbei people lost at least nearly 80,000 people, and their remaining more than 40,000 people can no longer form a huge lethality, will they quickly withdraw their troops because of this?

The 30,000 infantry troops who reached the north of Liupan Mountain fought fiercely and only had more than 10,000 left; The blocking battle on Qingshan'an also caused the Jizhou Army and the Third Auxiliary Army, which had just arrived in the western Xinjiang, to lose more than half, and how many of the 55,000 infantry troops could continue to fight? I think it's only about 20,000 people at most.

The 40,000 cavalry and the 5,000 iron cavalry of the Changshui Battalion of the Northern Army were the main forces in this victory over the Xianbei people, although both were surprise attacks, but because of the lack of training of the Huangzhong Qiang and Xianling Qiang people, more than 10,000 people were killed in the fierce battle, which made Li Hong very sad. Together with the cavalry killed in the battles of Sanguan and Fanting Mountain, the entire cavalry army was also reduced by more than 15,000 people.

Half of the 100,000 army was left in the blink of an eye, and after the big victory, there were only half of the people left, which was really a little difficult for Li Hong to accept.

After listening to Zheng Xin's report, he sat on the horse in a daze, so sad that he was not even willing to bury his subordinates, and did not want to take one last look at his beloved brother. He sat there until the sun was slowly rising.

Xian Yufu dragged his tired body and slowly walked to Li Hong's side.

"Zimin, are you alright?" Xian Yufu patted him on the shoulder and whispered, "I have already sent someone to Luoyang to report the documents." ”

Li Hong nodded and said sadly: "Yuxing, there are not many Jizhou soldiers left who followed us to Xiliang. ”

Xian Yufu felt a pain in his heart, bowed his head and was speechless.

"I once promised them that as long as Xiliang's battle was over, I would take them back, but now ......" He looked up at the sky and burst into tears, "I lost my words, I didn't do it, I took them to fight one battle after another, and sent them all to the sky, I didn't do it......"

"They all died for the Han Kingdom, they died as they deserved, they are all the heroes of my Han Kingdom, they are in the spirit of the sky, they will not blame you, the people ......"

"In the past, I thought that after returning to the Great Han Kingdom, I could retrieve my memories, find my parents, find my relatives, and find my home." Li Hong buried his head in his big hands, his shoulders twitched violently, choked and cried, "But I haven't found anything, I've been fighting and killing people." I don't want to kill anymore, I really don't want to kill anymore, I'm so tired, I want to go home too. ”

Xian Yufu's eyes were red, and tears almost fell. He squatted down, hugged Li Hong tightly, and whispered: "When the battle of the Great Han Kingdom is over, you can go home, and you will definitely be able to go home." ”

＝＝＝

Seeing Li Hong coming, Da Hei stood up excitedly and shouted, "The adults are here, the adults are coming......"

"Big Black ......" Li Hong suddenly saw him and shouted in surprise

"My lord, do you remember my ......" Daikoku said nervously at a loss, "My lord......"

"You're not hurt, are you?" Li Hong grabbed his dirty hands, looked up and down, and smiled with satisfaction, "I'm so happy to see that you are still alive." ”

"Me too, my lord." Daikoku laughed, "But I almost died." ”

"Oh?" Li Hong asked, "What's going on?" ”

"I was tied to a war horse and rushed all the way, and my organs and lungs almost erupted." Da Hei explained, "I finally got here, but before I could untie the rope and jump off the horse, the Xianbei people had already begun to escape, and as soon as I was in a hurry, I chased the horse, and the horse galloped away, but I fell behind the horse's buttocks, and was almost trampled to death by the war horse behind." ”

The crowd around them burst into laughter.

"It's good if you're not dead, it's good if you're not dead." Li Hong patted him and asked, "How many Xianbei people did you kill?" ”

"I killed one on the bluestone bank, but I didn't catch any of them here." Da Hei said embarrassedly, "I had no choice, so I had to carry the dead body in the middle of the night." ”

Ko Yi, Gao Lan, Guanzi and Yang Chun Gao Geng stood in front of the tomb of Qu Lu, unwilling to leave for a long time.

"He's my brother, my own brother." Ko Yi wiped the tears from his eyes, and said in a hoarse voice, "When I went to the Western Governor's Mansion to serve as a military commander, he followed me. We fought together in Longqi City in Jincheng County, and fought in various parts of Western Xinjiang for several years, living and dying together, like brothers and sisters. I shouldn't have let him leave me, I should have kept him with me all the time. ”

Gao Ran said sadly: "It's all the incompetence of the lower officials, which made Master Qu lose his life." If this battalion is still under the command of Lord Yan Liangyan, maybe he ......"

"Zhengqing, you misunderstood, I didn't blame you." Koji Yi shook his head, "He's the same as us, after wearing this leather armor, his greatest wish is to be able to die on the battlefield." Today, he can die on the battlefield against the Xianbei people, that is his greatest glory. ”

"I just feel sorry for him, I owe him my life, I don't pay him back while he was alive, I'm guilty." Koji sighed, "He saved me on the battlefield. ”

Li Hong was very surprised when he heard that Lei Chong was a soldier of Huang Long, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army.

"Then you are a veteran, longer than I have been in the army, no wonder you have so much experience in war."

Lei Zhong smiled bitterly: "It's all for myself to survive, I can't talk about any experience, and the adults praise it too much." If it weren't for Master Li this time, I would have died. ”

Xiao Lazy smiled: "If you die, I won't lose a brother." "The little lazy is called Li Su, and the words are reversed. He originally had a name but no words, and this character was obtained for him by Sima Zuoyan.

"Yes, if you die, we will also lose a military horse." Yan Rou patted him affectionately on the shoulder and said, "If it weren't for the rejection of the horse formation, we would not have been able to hold out until midnight, and we would not have been able to completely annihilate the army of the Rhythm Day. There are such great results in this battle, and you have contributed to it. ”

"The adults laughed, being able to defeat the Xianbei people all depends on the scheming of the adults, and the villain really has no credit." Lei bowed heavily and said, "The villain just wants adults to march to Fanting Mountain as soon as possible. ”

Li Hong smiled appreciatively and said, "The army has fought viciously and suffered heavy losses, I'm afraid it will be difficult to march into Fanting Mountain in the past few days." ”

Lei Chong's face darkened, and he was speechless for a while.

"When we evacuated Fanting Mountain, the remains of tens of thousands of brothers were left in the woods on the side of the road, and their heads were probably cut off for the Xianbei people to make trophies." Lei Zhong whispered sadly, "They are our brothers, heroes who died on the battlefield, we should have buried them, we shouldn't have let them be in the wilderness." ”

Li Hong's heart trembled, and he suddenly remembered Tian Chong, Tian Jing of Lu Longsai, and the dry bones of tens of thousands of Han soldiers on the Sunset Plain. When will the martyrs of Sunset Field be brought back to their homeland? He glanced at the clear blue sky with a sad expression and let out a long sigh.

"Did you kill the Xianbei captives against the order to vent your anger?"

Lei snorted angrily and didn't make a sound.

"Although Lord Yan and Lord Li have the intention to protect them, Lord Assassin is very angry, he thinks that you rely on military merits and recognize that you have disobeyed military orders, and will punish you." Li Hong thought for a moment and said, "You stay under Lord Li for the time being, and after this matter settles, I will plead with Lord Wei again, hoping to atone the credit." ”

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

More than a dozen soldiers fled back from the battlefield of Qingshi'an, and they explained in detail the course of the battle on Qingshi'an, but they didn't know the whereabouts of the king and Lian.

Tuoba Feng was anxious.

"The scout replied that he only heard that the king of the Jiuyuan Banner, Dusk Gaiting, and a few people from the heroic and heroic and worn-out and Woshaquan had been killed in battle." "We don't have news of the king's death or his capture now, so what should we do?" Will you continue to withdraw or will you wait here? ”

"Can't wait here." The ashen Ri Deduction said weakly, "This is Liupan Mountain, there is no danger to defend, if the leopard leads the army to kill, we will also lose the men and horses." We can't afford to lose. ”

"What about the king?" Mang Zhengji asked, "We can't retreat to Fanting Mountain like this. What if he was still on the run? ”

"If he had escaped from the bluestone shore, he would have found us a long time ago." Ritsu shook his head and said, "It's only more than sixty miles away from the bluestone shore here, so it's impossible that it hasn't arrived yet." I saw that he had escaped from the bluestone bank, just in front of us, on the way back to Fanting Mountain. ”

The crowd looked at him in amazement.

"If the leopard had killed the king or captured the king alive, the news would have been flying all over the sky long ago, would he still hide such a big thing? This news is more effective than the arrival of another 50,000 reinforcements, which can not only boost the morale of the soldiers, but also deal a heavy blow to us. He glanced at everyone and said with a wry smile, "The soldiers who fled back said that after the prisoner fled to the bluestone mountain with thousands of men and horses, he did not run wildly, but kept turning back to block it, is he an idiot?" In that case, you are still entangled with the Han army? He was the king's henchman, and he must have done this to cover the king's retreat. ”

"The big handsome has a point." Tuoba Han nodded again and again and asked, "Then why didn't the king rush directly to Boluo Valley?" Why did the marshal say that he had gone to Fanting Mountain? ”

Ritsuri looked at Tuoba Feng coldly and did not speak.

Tuoba Feng and Tuoba Yan glanced at each other, and their expressions seemed to agree with Ritsuri's guess.

"Withdraw." Tuoba Feng said, "Withdraw to Fanting Mountain. ”

＝＝＝

"The king is suspicious by nature, he doesn't believe in our Xianbei people in the west, and he doesn't believe in you and Yan Liyou, it's normal." Mang Zhengji followed behind the Ri deduction and whispered, "The 30,000 troops of Danhan Mountain have all been wiped out, and the king has no strength in his hands, so he naturally has to guard against us, but Lord Tuoba Feng is his henchman?" Why didn't the king come to Lord Tuoba's army? ”

"The king is wrong, in fact, the wolf head and I don't want to kill him, even Lord Luoluo doesn't want to kill him, and we also want to use the king to suppress Xianbei and Tuoba Feng in the north." Ritsuri pondered for a moment and said, "If you really want to kill him, it's Tuoba Feng." ”

Mang Zhengji was shocked.

"In recent years, the Tuoba tribe has become stronger and stronger, and they have frequently invaded the Han Kingdom, not only occupying a large area of rich grasslands, but also plundering a large amount of wealth. After Tuoba Feng had these lands and wealth, his power increased day by day, and now his tribe has become the largest tribe in the Xianbei country. ”

"Look at the northern Xianbei, is there any tribe that can compete with the Tuoba tribe?" Ri Ri deduced and sighed, "Northern Xianbei has become Tuoba Feng's private property, this Xianbei Lord is not worth bullshit in Tuoba Feng's eyes, he has greater ambitions, he wants to dominate the grassland, he wants to be ......"

Ritsu suddenly closed his mouth.

"The King?" Mang Zhengji exclaimed in a low voice, "He wants to be the king of Xianbei Kingdom?" ”

"Do you still want to go back to the tribe?" Ri deduced and scolded angrily, "This time I fell for Tuoba Feng, and I lost 20,000 people in vain, do you still want to lose our heads?" ”

Mang Zhengji was taken aback, and approached Ri Ri to deduce and asked, "Can the king escape back to Danhan Mountain?" ”

"Hmph......" Ri Ri sneered, "With me and the wolf head here, I don't believe that the king can't return to Danhan Mountain." As long as the king returns to Danhan Mountain and has men and horses in his hands, I see him Tuoba Feng dreaming! ”

"In case ......"

"And the big handsome." Lu Ri touched his beard and said confidently, "As long as Murong Feng is still alive, he will not have a chance to come out." ”

＝＝＝＝

"How sure do you think Ritsuri's guess is?" Tuoba Feng looked at the Iron Knight soldiers who were speeding all the way, and suddenly turned around and asked.

"My lord, it doesn't matter anymore." Tuoba looked around and whispered, "Now that our purpose has been reached, it doesn't matter whether the king is dead or alive. Now, even if the king is really dead and returns to Danhan Mountain in the future, we can say that it is reasonable. We stayed near the mouth of the valley for a day and a night, and sent more than a thousand people along the road to look for it, and we did our best. I've seen it all, and he can prove it for us. We just take advantage of the law and day to deduce and withdraw our troops. ”

Tuoba Feng frowned, thought for a long time, and the melancholy on his face became more and more intense.

"What are you watching out for?"

Tuoba Feng looked at the rolling mountains and said slowly: "I'm watching out for Murong Feng, I suspect he has already guessed what I'm going to do?" ”

Tuoba Hui's expression tightened, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.

"What if he guessed? He couldn't have known that the leopard had defeated us so quickly, and he might still be speculating how we could kill Helian, and how we could deal with the 30,000-strong army in Danhan Mountain. ”

"But he can get ahead of us and take control of Danhan Mountain." Tuoba Feng said worriedly, "I should let you go to Yanmen County, not Tuoba Tao." ”

"My lord, you should trust Tuoba Tao, he has been on the battlefield for decades, can't he even control the leader?"

"Yes, I'm just beware of the boss running away from him." Tuoba Feng sighed, "Thinking about the father of the leader back then, Huai Zong, you should know that the leader is by no means incompetent. For so many years, in order to save his life, he has been cautious, lest he be caught by Helian and give him his life, so we despise him. ”

"In the past few days, I always think about his father, and the more I think about it, the more unsteady I feel." Tuoba Feng said, "If Murong Feng takes control of Danhan Mountain and establishes the leader as the new king, there will be absolutely no opposition from the Xianbei Kingdom, because this Xianbei King is originally his. ”
