Chapter 754: The Dai Army is defeated

The 50,000 main cavalry of the Dai Kingdom, under the double blow of the Jin army's charioteers and cavalry, suffered extremely heavy casualties, and had fallen into chaos, a small number of Dai army cavalry under the leadership of its main general, tried their best to break through to the northeast, intending to get closer to the main army led by Tuoba Shi Yijian.

Seeing that a small number of cavalry of the Dai army began to flee, the main force of the Jin army immediately launched a pursuit, and the 20,000 cavalry under Zhang Hao launched an effective pursuit of the fleeing Dai army, while the pursuit of the charioteers under Yang An was not smooth, and a large number of corpses of men and horses were lying on the ground, blocking the road of the chariots, making the pursuit of the chariots appear extremely slow.

However, the 50,000 main force of the Dai army has suffered heavy losses, more than 10,000 soldiers and horses were annihilated on the spot, most of the men and horses fled, and the small number of men and horses who fled to the northeast were only more than 10,000, and the 20,000 cavalry under Yang An could completely deal with it.

More than 10,000 defeated soldiers of the Dai army and Zhang Hao's 20,000 pursuing army rushed all the way to the northeast, and soon distanced themselves from the main charioteers under Yang An.

Xie Ai was worried that Zhang Oyster's army would encounter the main army of Tuoba Shi Yijian, so he immediately accelerated with Yang An and led the charioteers, and prepared to attack Tuoba Shi Yijian's main army in one go.

With only 20,000 charioteers, Xie Ai is not too sure whether he can defeat the main cavalry under Tuoba Shi Yijian, but at this time, in addition to Yang An's 20,000 charioteers and Zhang Hao's 20,000 cavalry, in the Mengshan camp, there are also Zhao Wu's 20,000 main infantry and 20,000 reserve infantry, with a total strength of 80,000, launching an attack from both directions at the same time, Xie Ai has absolute certainty that he can defeat Tuoba Shi Yijian in one fell swoop. In this way, the threat of Jinyang City was completely lifted, and the army of Daiguo was driven straight into Shengle City.

At the camp of the Dai Army at the foot of Meng Mountain, Dai Wang Tuoba Shi Yijian learned that Xie Ai's army took the initiative to attack the 50,000 elite army under his command, and he was taken aback.

He had already discovered the defensive arrangement of Xie Ai's legion, and he didn't understand how Xie Ai could mobilize enough strength of soldiers and horses to launch an attack on the 50,000 main forces under his command.

To know. This time, the troops were dispatched. Tuoba Shi Yijian always used only 100,000 main desert iron horses, 20,000 at the foot of Longshan, 30,000 himself commanded, and the remaining 50,000 main force. All laid out at the entrance to the Blue Valley. This 50,000 elite army. It can be regarded as the mainstay of the Dai army, unless Xie Ai mobilizes eighty percent of the troops under his command. It is impossible to defeat this elite army under his command lightly, and once Xie Ai mobilizes most of his troops and horses to attack the main force under his command, the defense in the rest of the directions will be extremely weak, and the flaws will be completely exposed.

"Your Majesty, the scouts reported that the 20,000 soldiers and horses of the Mengshan battalion of the Jin army did not decrease, but increased by 20,000 troops." A small colonel walked into the big tent of the Chinese army and reported loudly.

Tuoba Shi Yijian was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked: "The Jin army has reinforced another 20,000 troops, which one is it, and who is the main general?" ”

"Back to the king, it is the 20,000 main infantry under the command of the Jin general Zhao Wu." The school reported truthfully.

When Tuoba Shi Yijian heard this, he was even more surprised, he knew that the 20,000 main infantry under Zhao Wu was the old foundation of the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Jin Kingdom, and it was the elite infantry corps under Xie Ai, Xie Ai transferred the Zhao Wu Legion to the Mengshan camp, then, the west bank of Fenshui must send another large army to garrison, and the Longshan camp and Jinyang City also need soldiers and horses to garrison, so that the only soldiers and horses under Xie Ai can be deployed are the 40,000 main cavalry under the command of Yang An and Zhang Hao.

With the 40,000 cavalry of the Jin army, against the 50,000 desert iron cavalry under his command, Tuoba Shiyijian's mouth showed a sneer, he felt that Xie Ai was crazy, the 40,000 main cavalry of the Jin army, it was absolutely impossible to defeat the 50,000 desert iron cavalry under his command.

"Where is the Hua'an Legion of the Jin Army, and has it reinforced Jinyang City?" Tuoba Shiyi Jian was a little uneasy in his heart, looked at the general beside him, and asked softly.

"Back to the king, according to the recent report of the scouts, more than 100,000 horses and horses in Hua'an's department have been trapped by the Yan State Army, and even their grain routes have been cut off by the Yan State Army, and the Hua'an Army itself is difficult to protect, and there is no time to take care of Jinyang City." A subordinate general in the big tent replied with his fists clenched.

Hearing this, Tuoba Shi Yijian was relieved a lot, he looked at the generals and said softly: "Xie Ai, this kid has eaten the gall of a bear's heart and a leopard?" He actually took the initiative to attack the main cavalry of our army. ”

"Your Majesty, the grain route in Jinyang City has been cut off by our army, and Xie Aipifu has no way out, so he has to take the initiative to attack our army."

"Yes! Wang, perhaps Xie Ai felt that it was better to gamble than to starve to death in vain, so he launched an attack on the main force of our army, even if he was defeated, Xie Ai could completely break out of the encirclement of our army and escape with his life. ”

"Your Majesty, Xie Ai not only launched an attack in the Blue Valley, but also dispatched the Zhao Wu Army to the Mengshan camp, it seems that it is also to attack the main force of our army!"

Several generals of the acting army discussed it in a gossiping manner.

After listening to the analysis of several generals, Dai Wang Tuoba Shi Yijian felt that it was very reasonable, at this time, there were 30,000 elite desert iron cavalry and 50,000 reserve cavalry in his big camp, and the strength was still very strong, so he was not worried about the Zhao Wu army attacking the big camp, and even hoped that the Zhao Wu army would come to die.

"Report, Your Majesty, our army has been defeated, and the main force of the Jin army has come to the camp." Just as Tuoba Shi Yijian was discussing with his generals, news of the defeat of the army came from the direction of Blue Valley.

After listening to the report of the junior colonel, the acting king Tuoba Shi Yijian and the subordinate generals were completely stunned, and they all stared at the junior colonel who reported the military situation.

Tuoba Shi Yijian hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed the collar of the colonel, widened a pair of round eyes, and said loudly: "Our army is defeated, how is this possible." ”

The little colonel replied tremblingly: "Your Majesty, the Jin army's pursuit is not far from the camp. ”

When Tuoba Shi Yijian heard this, his heart was half cold, he paused, put down the colonel, and paced in the big tent of the Chinese army.

"Your Majesty, Xie Ai can mobilize only forty or fifty thousand soldiers and horses, it must be that the main force of our army is not well prepared, so the Jin army has taken advantage of the loophole, and now, there are still 80,000 troops in the big battalion, as long as they immediately line up to meet the enemy, it is enough to resist the attack of the Jin army, and turn defeat into victory." A subordinate general shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty, the last general is willing to fight."

"Your Majesty, let the last general fight! The last general will definitely defeat the Jin army. ”

Several generals of the acting army, all of whom held their fists and received orders, asked to lead the army to fight against the Xie Ai army.

Tuoba Shi Yijian nodded and said loudly: "Pass the order, and the whole army will immediately assemble and prepare to meet the Jin army." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." The generals of the military commanded loudly and immediately turned around and went to prepare.

Soon, Tuoba Shi Yijian gathered a large battalion of 80,000 cavalry and prepared for a decisive battle with the Jin army.

It didn't take long for the scattered soldiers and horses of the Dai army and the cavalry of the Jin army pursuing in the rear to appear in front of Tuoba Shi Yijian.

Seeing that the main cavalry under his command was being chased and beaten by the Jin army, Tuoba Shiyijian was extremely angry in his heart, and vowed to defeat the Jin army and save face as the king of a country.

"General, the front is the Daiguo camp, and we can't chase it anymore." A few miles away from the Dai Army's main camp, a general looked at Zhang Hao and loudly persuaded him.

Zhang Oyster was chasing and killing, and shouted loudly: "What about the Dai Army battalion, our army will break through the Dai Army camp and capture Tuoba Shi Yijian alive." ”

In a big battle in the Blue Valley, Yang An and his 20,000 charioteers made great contributions, and Zhang Hao and his 20,000 cavalry were just foils.

"General, there are 80,000 cavalry in the battalion of Tuoba Shi Yijian, and our army is insufficient, so let's wait for reinforcements to arrive and attack together!" The ministry general persuaded again.

Zhang Hao thought about it calmly, although he himself has the courage of ten thousand people, but the strength of the 20,000 cavalry under his command is indeed unable to match the 80,000 cavalry under the command of Tuoba Shi Yijian.

For this reason, Zhang Hao issued an order to let the 20,000 main cavalry under his command immediately stop the pursuit and wait for the Yang An Corps, which was still behind.

Seeing that the cavalry of the Jin army stopped pursuing, the corners of Tuoba Shiyi's mouth twitched, looked at the generals beside him, and said loudly: "Which general is willing to fight." ”

"Your Majesty, the last general is willing to fight."

"Your Majesty, let the last general fight!"

"Your Majesty, the 30,000 desert iron cavalry under the command of the last general has long been impatient, let the last general fight, and he will definitely be able to defeat the Jin cavalry."

Several generals of the Dai Army all vied to attack the cavalry under Zhang Hao.

From the scale of the Jin cavalry in the distance, it can be seen that the soldiers and horses of the Jin army are about 20,000, so he immediately ordered his subordinates to lead 30,000 desert iron cavalry to attack the Zhang Oyster army.

"Your Majesty, the last general has come to plead guilty." The general of the Dai army, who was defeated and fled, jumped off his horse, knelt in front of Tuoba Shiyijian, and pleaded guilty.

Tuoba Shi Yijian looked at his right-hand man with an angry face, and said loudly: "How many soldiers and horses does the Jin army have, and it is like a lost dog. ”

"Your Majesty, the Jin army does not have many soldiers and horses, but it is extremely elite, especially the 20,000 chariot soldiers of the Jin army, which is extremely powerful, and the reason why our army is completely defeated is because we don't understand the newly formed 20,000 chariot troops of the Jin army!" The acting army general clenched his fists and explained.

"What, the Jin army has formed a 20,000 chariot army, when did it happen, why didn't this king get any news." Tuoba Shiyi frowned and wondered.

A representative general clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the last general remembers, in recent days, the 20,000 troops of Yang An's department of the Jin army have suddenly been transferred to a closed valley, and the defense of the valley mouth is extremely tight, and our army scouts cannot approach at all, perhaps, the Jin army is in the valley, secretly training chariot troops."
