We had no choice but to continue to retreat north. ”

"Hurry up and call Kebi to help the Guyan Valley, maybe it's still too late." Mika urged eagerly.

"It's too late. If Li Yi hadn't received the news from the Guyan Valley, he wouldn't have suddenly waved all the battle flags, he was clearly trying to force us to retreat north. Fu Luo Han said with a pale face, "Kobineng and we have both forgotten one of the most important issues......

Mika was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "What's the problem?" ”

"These 60,000 iron horsemen are all Han people living in the northern Xinjiang of the Han Dynasty, not much different from our Xianbei people, as long as they have food, they can drive us all the way to Beihai, they are not like ordinary Han people who cannot tolerate high cold, and they will not be like ordinary Han people who will be seriously attrition after going deep into the desert. We were so negligent. Fu Luo Han shook his head again and again, remorseful.

Micah asked, "What now?" ”

"Retreat, retreat thirty miles." Fu Luo Han shouted.

………………

When the Han army reached the bank of the Duluo River, they immediately set up camp. The camp stretches for several miles, and the flags flutter, which is magnificent.

When twilight fell, Tian Yu rushed into the gate with a team of scout Pegasus.

"General Zhang, we have gone up the Duluo River for sixty miles to the east, and we have cleared the Xianbei scouts." Tian Yu was sweating profusely and panting and said, "We met Captain Xiao Zuoxiao halfway, and he said that the Xianbei scouts in the area at the western foot of Wolf Juxu Mountain have also been cleared by them, and the army can set off overnight to rush to Wolf Juxu Mountain." ”

Zhang He nodded, and said to Gao Changgong, Zhang Liao, Zhang Yan and the others: "Let's go immediately, and rush to Wolf Juxu Mountain as soon as possible to meet the main guild." ”

Gao Changgong patted Zhang He's shoulder and said with a smile: "I'll leave it to you here, you have to be more careful." ”

Zhang He smiled: "Don't worry, I have crossed the sea, not to mention this small river." ”

………………

After receiving the news from Micah and Korohan, Kobineng thought for a moment and said to the herald, "Order Micah and Korohan to rush to the river immediately." Make a battle stance. ”

"Order the scouts to keep a close eye on the movements in the direction of Wolf Juxu Mountain."

"Send someone to tell the king and Lord Luoluo, and ask them to be on guard day and night to guard against the night attack of the Han army."

In the early morning of the next day, Bu Dugen sent a message that the scouts in the direction of Wolf Juxu Mountain were attacked by Han army scouts and suffered heavy casualties, and he estimated that the direction of attack of the Han army was at the western foot of Wolf Juxu Mountain.

In the morning, Micah sent an astonishing news that Yue Fei, the general of the Han army, had rushed to the Duluo River with 60,000 foot soldiers. These foot soldiers all rode war horses. They also brought a large number of ballistae and grain and grass baggage, and it is estimated that they will soon start forcibly crossing the river.

Kebineng sneered, and immediately ordered the army to move closer to the direction of the Duluo River, and asked the king Budugen and the Luoluo soldiers to go out of the Wolf Juxu Mountain and attack behind the Han army.

………………

Shan Yu Ting, this is the place where the Xiongnu Da Dan Yu belongs to grazing, and it is also the place where the Xiongnu Shan Yu receives the court meeting of the leaders of the Xiongnu tribes in January every year. It is one of the sacred places in the prairie.

With the decline of the Xiongnu, the Xianbei people occupied this place.

The grassland alone is nearly 100 miles in circumference. The 20,000 troops of Budugen and Zhiluo Luoluo were stationed on the east side of the Shan Yuting Prairie, which was close to the forest at the western foot of the Wolf Juxu Mountain.

After Budugen received the military order from Kebineng. Immediately assemble a large army and prepare to move south overnight to outflank the rear of the Han army.

After hearing the news, Zhi Luoluo hurried to the Budugen army and advised: "The king must not march at night, lest he be ambushed by the Han people." ”

"Ambush?" Bu Dugen asked suspiciously, "Do you suspect that the Han army has arrived at Wolf Juxu Mountain?" ”

"The scouts we sent to Wolf Juxu Mountain to spy on the military situation were attacked by the Han Chinese, and both the king and Kebineng thought that this was Li Yi's suspicious strategy. But I don't think so. I think this is probably not Li Yi's suspicious strategy, but the Han army has indeed arrived at Wolf Juxu Mountain, and Li Yi's attack direction is here. To the east of the Shan Yu Ting Prairie. "You see, after the Han army raided the Guyan Valley, Li Yi thought that he had stuck our necks, and in order to quickly kill our main force, he was bound to cut off our retreat to the north and attack us from the direction of the Wolf Juxu Mountain. In other words, if we go south now, it is very likely that we will be ambushed by the Han army. ”

"Do you mean that Li Yi is still divided?" Bu Dugen frowned and asked, "What about the tens of thousands of Han troops on the south bank of the Duluo River?" Yesterday, Li Yi personally led the iron cavalry army to the south bank of the Duluo River, and this morning another 60,000 Han soldiers rushed to support. ”

"What is the purpose of the Han people's rapid northward movement? It's a decisive battle with us. "Li Yi raided Guyan Mountain, robbed all our livestock, and completely cut off our vitality, and now even if we retreat to Beihai, it will be difficult to support us." But just because it's hard to support doesn't mean we can't support it, and we can continue to retreat north and look for better opportunities to attack Li Yi. Why do we have to fight him in the Shan Yuting Prairie? Now Li Yi and Chen's troops are south of the Duluo River, Yue Fei's reinforcements have also arrived in time, the Han army has 120,000 troops, and it is already in an absolute advantage in terms of strength, while we are at an extreme disadvantage. In this case, why does Li Yi believe that we will fight him to the death? ”

Bu Dugen understood, and while he looked at the map carefully, he nodded again and again with understanding, and said: "Li Yi can only force us to fight a decisive battle with him if he divides his troops to Juxu Mountain, attacks us from the east of the Shan Yuting Prairie, and cuts off our retreat. So, the Han army in the direction of the Duluo River is not Li Yi's main force? ”

"Yes. Li Yi's suspicious plan was not used in Wolf Juxu Mountain, but in Duluo River. "After Li Yi cut off our retreat with the main force of iron cavalry, in order to ensure that the army can not only kill Li Yi and the Han army's iron cavalry, but also calmly retreat to the North Sea after a fierce battle, we must use all our strength to storm the Han army east of the Shan Yuting steppe." ”

"In that case, wouldn't we be caught in the front and rear attacks of the Han army." Budugen said with a solemn expression.

"It takes a certain amount of time for tens of thousands of Han troops to cross the river and reorganize the army. By the time they arrived to the east of the Shan Yuting steppe, we had already killed the Han army and headed north. Luo Luoluo's face was worried, and he said slowly, "Why does Kebineng think that Li Yi's main force is in the direction of the Duluo River?" Why did he want us to take the initiative to abandon the road to the north and make a detour to attack the Han army in the direction of the Duluo River by making a detour to the Wolf Juxu Mountain? ”

Suddenly said loudly, "Kebineng is going to kill us." If our 20,000-strong army is wiped out, and the king and the lord are dead, this desert will be the world of his Kebineng. You can't think of such a simple thing? ”

"What are you talking about?" Bu Dugen glared at him and scolded, "Lord Luo Luo is just speculating, who can be sure that Li Yi's main force of iron cavalry is in Wolf Juxu Mountain?" Our 20,000 troops are all wiped out, what good can it do to Kobi? What's more, Kebineng didn't order us to go south overnight, he just told us to go south as soon as possible. If you talk nonsense again and shake the morale of the army, I will kill you. ”

Tuoba Hong, who had been silent, suddenly said: "I think Kebi can make us go south for two purposes. First, if Li Yi did not divide his troops to Wolf Juxu Mountain, Kebineng could use the terrain of the Duluo River to attack the Han army with us before and after, and fight the Duluo River with Li Yi. The second is that if Li Yi divides his troops to Wolf Juxu Mountain, he will definitely have to fight with us in the area of the southern foot of Wolf Juxu Mountain, so that Ke Bineng can accurately guess the strength of the Han army on the south bank of the Duluo River. I estimate that at that time, Kebineng would personally lead the main force to kill the Duluo River first, solve the Han army on the south bank of the Duluo River, and then come to Wolf Juxu Mountain to support us and attack Li Yi. It's just ......" Tuoba Hong shook his head and sighed softly, "It's just that no matter what happens, we can't escape the end of casualties, and the desert is still capable after all." ”

Bu Dugen looked at his grandfather's old courtier, and said with a wry smile: "We have to believe in Kebineng, we must believe in him, especially when the war is about to begin." I think the second scenario you said is unlikely, Kebineng is sure to come to Wolf Juxu Mountain to surround and annihilate Li Yi first. It was very difficult to cross the river to attack the Han army, especially now that Yue Fei's reinforcements had arrived......"

"I suspect that Yue Fei's reinforcements are fake." Luo Luo suddenly thought of something, waved his hand and said, "When we were evacuating Yanran Mountain, the scouts once spied on Yue Fei's army and found out that Yue Fei's army was still in Lady Fan City. If this news is accurate, then Yue Fei will not be able to reach Duluo River no matter what, and he will not be able to have such a fast speed. ”

Bu Dugen asked rhetorically, "What if Yue Fei has been following Li Yi?" ”

"Then why haven't our scouts seen it?" Zhi Luo Luo stretched out his hand and patted Bu Dugen's shoulder and said, "If there were no reinforcements from Yue Fei, Ke Bineng might not be sure that Li Yi had divided his troops, but as soon as Yue Fei arrived, Li Yi's plan to divide his troops was undoubtedly exposed. Lao Tuoba was right, Kebi Neng must have expected that Li Yi had divided his troops into the wolf Juxu, so he let us go south, but he commanded the army to approach the Duluo River, he wanted to kill two birds with one stone, kill us and kill Li Yi, and from then on he would dominate the desert.
