Su Hongzhen, the envoy of the Shu army, and Tuoba Sigong, the assassin of Youzhou, each led 3,000 soldiers and horses, and marched to Lanzhou as the vanguard envoys of the left and right. After entering Lanzhou, along the way, he successively recovered Tianchi Supervisor, Lou Fu Supervisor, and Led Pond Supervisor, and entered Jingle County.

Along the way, they didn't even see a shadow of the Shatuo people, and there were still many food and goods in the city that the Shatuo people didn't have time to take away. After inquiring with the people of the city, they learned that the Shatuo people had fled only a few hours before them. Su Hongzhen was anxious to return to his own territory, and chased after him all the way, but he almost didn't catch up every time.

"The Soviet army envoy, we have been marching rapidly today, the men are tired and tired, and we have already opened a great distance from Zhang Yuhou's Chinese army. You see, are we going to take a break here for the time being, and wait for Zhang Yu to wait. "Tuoba Sigong since the Zhenwu army was completely annihilated, now he is a little afraid of Li Keyong's father and son, the 3,000 men and horses in his hands are already all his capital, although Youzhou is still recruiting troops and buying horses, but he does not dare to bury these soldiers in his hands easily.

Li Guochang and his son have 10,000 elite Shatuo cavalry, and the two of them have 6,000 soldiers and horses, which are also cavalry, not only inferior in number, but also brave and brave.

At that moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and a scout rushed to report.

"The vanguard envoy of the Su and the pioneer envoy of Tuoba found a cavalry in the north of the city rushing towards him. There were about 3,000 soldiers and horses, all of them cavalry, black clothes, black armor and black flags. It's the Shatuo cavalry! ”

Su Hongzhen heard this. Immediately, he said, "Pass the order." Get ready for battle! ”

"Bell, bell!"

The sound of the rapid alarm bell was long, and the six thousand men and horses in Jingle County immediately prepared for battle.

Su Hongzhen and Tuoba Sigong landed at the top of the city, and the three thousand Shatuo cavalry in the distance were like a rapidly moving dark cloud, rushing straight forward, and in the blink of an eye, they had stopped at the bottom of the city.

Su Hongzhen looked at this cavalry carefully, and did not find the banners used by Li Guochang and Li Ke, but only found a general flag with the word Kang. He has some knowledge of Shatuobing, and guesses that the person who leads the troops may be Li Keyong's general Kang Junli.

I saw that it wasn't Li Ke who came with father and son. Su Hongzhen immediately became a lot bolder. Turning to Tuoba Sigong, he said: "The Shatuo people are too arrogant, and they only led three thousand men and horses to dare to come to provoke. We have 6,000 soldiers and horses, and we are outnumbered by the enemy, and we cannot show our cowardice. Will General Tuoba dare to go out of the city with me and destroy this Shatuo cavalry? ”

Tuoba Sigong was a little worried that the Shatuo people had a conspiracy, but at this time, he was provoked by Su Hongzhen, and remembered that as long as he was cautious, he should be fine, so he nodded and agreed to fight.

The gates slowly opened, and six thousand cavalry poured out of the city. Assemble themselves under the city. The 6,000 cavalry was divided into two divisions, with Su Hongzhen and Tuoba Sigong each leading their headquarters. Horses neighed in the wilderness beneath the city. The spear is like a forest, and the flag is better than the sea.

Su Hongzhen galloped his war horse and galloped in front of the cavalry ranks, his voice echoing in the wind of the wilderness, "The wolf cubs of Shatuo are only half of us, so we have no reason to fail!" This battle will be won! ”

He reined in his horse, and the horse lance pointed to the black group in front of him. "Brothers, come with me!"

The sound of hooves was like thunder, and the murderous spirit was high, and the six thousand cavalry marched towards the rebels.

In the north of Jingle County, the two armies stopped at a distance of one mile and lined up separately. The Shatuo army took the initiative to attack, but listed the glaive formation. The party and the captive army listed a double-headed snake formation, ready to march together.

A general with fish scale armor rushed out under the banner of the Shatuo Army, nearly seven feet tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, holding a long lance in his hand, and a four-foot-high oolong horse in his crotch. He urged his horse forward, pointed the long lance in his hand at the officers and soldiers, and shouted: "Is there anyone in the Tang army who dares to fight with a certain battle?" ”

Su Hongzhen told Tuoba Sigong: "This person's name is Kang Junli, one of the seven generals of Yunzhou under Li Ya'er, the son of Shatuo Feihu, who is not only extremely brave, but also Li Ya'er's henchman. ”

The two armies were single-handedly in front of the formation, Tuoba Sigong was not much surprised, although it was a little different from the usual law, but many Hu soldiers liked to fight with personal bravery, and they didn't need any rules to fight, just to be brave. This is often true not only of soldiers, but also of generals. In front of the two armies, if they win a head-to-head victory, not only will the morale of the army be greatly boosted, but sometimes they can even directly drive troops to cover up and kill the defeated enemy.

Tuoba Sigong sneered, "Then let someone go and meet him for a while!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Tuoba Sizhong shouted: "Let me go out." After speaking, without waiting for Tuoba Sigong to agree, he immediately slapped his horse out of the battle and stepped forward.

Kang Junli is Li Ke's general, and when he saw a general flying out of the enemy formation, he looked like a Tang general, but he was dressed as a Hu person, and after a while, he had already guessed that the other party was a party member. I was furious in my heart, and I slapped my horse and came to fight.

Although Tuoba Sizhong came fiercely, he did not panic, and withdrew his horse backwards, dodging Tuoba Sizhong's ferocious wolf tooth lance, and the horse lance picked it up and stabbed Tuoba Sizhong's heart nest. This lance is extremely stabbed.

'When! With a bang, the lance slammed into the wolf's tooth lance, blocking the lance. The shock made his arms numb, Tuoba Sizhong's heart was awe-inspiring, he didn't dare to underestimate the enemy, and immediately used all his strength, and the wolf tooth lance was more ferocious than the other, and smashed towards Kang Junli.

Kang Junli has already discovered Tuoba Sizhong's weakness, that is, although his strength is large, he only relies on the strength of these two arms, and his moves are insufficient. Suddenly, he no longer fought hard with him, but danced the long lance, an eighteen-pound zhang two horse lance, but in his hands danced like a dragon out of the sea, and the twelve-style lance method was endless.

The two fought for dozens of rounds, Kang Junli became more and more courageous, shouted, and the long lance was like a dragon, stabbing directly into Tuoba Sizhong's heart. The shot was swift and unstoppable. Tuoba Sizhong had already smashed out the wolf's tooth lance at this time, and he had to get up and pick up the rest of his busy schedule. When he snorted, this pick was only a little bit, but Kang Junli took advantage of the situation to move the lance up and attack his throat from his chest.

Seeing that he couldn't dodge, Tuoba Sizhong was discouraged.

At this moment, an arrow was extremely fast, and the tip of the arrow arrived in front of Kang Junli in the blink of an eye, faster than his lance. Kang Junli knew that it was not good when he heard the wind, and he instinctively blocked it with an iron plate. With a thud, the arrow grazed his face. A hideous blood groove was drawn on his face. Immediately blood flowed. Dye half of your face red. Kang Jun immediately screamed in pain, and one of his spears was also stabbed, and a lance stabbed Tuoba Sizhong's shoulder a little weakly.

At this time, another arrow was fired, and Kang Junli hid in a kick in his busy schedule, and avoided it without danger. However, the other party released cold arrows, but Kang Junli could not fight any longer, and hurriedly fled from his own formation.

Tuoba Sizhong spent the rest of his life after the catastrophe and looked back. saw that the person who sent the arrow to rescue just now was actually Su Hongzhen.

Su Hongzhen put away his bow and arrows, and Tuoba Sigong thanked his younger brother greatly. Su Hongzhen smiled and said, "A little thing is not enough to worry about." Now that Kang Jun is defeated, we are taking this opportunity to cover up and kill in one fell swoop! After speaking, he turned his head and shouted to beat the trumpet, and the whole army charged.

Tuoba Sigong originally felt that this was not a good time to attack, but just now Su Hongzhen saved Sizhong's life, so he didn't say much, so he had to nod and agree to attack.

The sound of the majestic war drums had been heard, the horns had been sounded, and the six thousand cavalry had attacked with two heads. Billowing dust and smoke rose and the shouts shook like thunder. Iron hooves are vertical and horizontal, spears are like forests, and the army covers the past.

Contrary to Tuoba Sigong's expectations, Kang Junli, who was defeated in a single challenge, did not line up to meet the battle, but retreated.

The three thousand Shatuo cavalry did not wait for the battle, they had already retreated all the way to the north, and Tuoba Sigong and Su Hongzhen really succeeded in killing many Shatuo soldiers. Su Hongzhen was overjoyed, Shatuo people were just like that. It seems that the Shatuo people have been defeated several times, and now their morale is low.

"The whole army is pressing, take advantage of the victory to pursue, and we must annihilate these three thousand Shatuo soldiers!" Su Hongzhen said excitedly.

"The Soviet envoy, the enemy fled without a fight, this thing is strange, it is likely that the Shatuo people deceived and lured the enemy!" Tuoba Sigong hurriedly said, the front rut of the five thousand soldiers and horses of the Zhenwu Army was in front of them, and they were ambushed by the Shatuo people.

Su Hongzhen said disdainfully: "Shatuo people are just like this, even if there are ambush soldiers, how can we be afraid of him with six thousand soldiers and horses." If General Tuoba is afraid, stay with you. ”

After saying that, Su Hongzhen ordered to continue the pursuit, but Tuoba Sigong saw that he couldn't be persuaded to stop, so he had to chase down together at this time. However, perhaps after listening to the advice, although Su Hongzhen led the troops to pursue, he still maintained a very good formation.

The army pursued all the way and soon entered the mountains of Luliang. Kang Junli went into a valley in front of him, Su Hongzhen was vigilant, and ordered to reorganize the army outside the valley, and then slow down into the valley in a neat formation.

Sure enough, as soon as he entered the valley, the shouts of killing sounded from all sides, and a Shatuo ambush appeared. It was Li Guochang who killed on the left, but Li Keyong killed on the right. Although Su Hongzhen was shocked, he also mustered up the courage to command the kill. Tuoba Sigong also rushed forward together at this time.

The two armies fought desperately and bloodily, and after half a day of melee, the first to be unable to support it was actually the Shatuo people, who left hundreds of corpses and thousands of war horses, and routed to the north.

"Raven Army, that's it. A Hundred Battles? I think it's vulnerable! On the battlefield, ignoring a few injuries on his body, Su Hongzhen, who was stained with blood, smiled, "Menzhen Town will leave the wounded soldiers, and leave a few hundred people to clean up the battlefield, we will continue to pursue, this time, we will definitely capture Li Guochang's father and son alive." ”

The victory was in hand, but Tuoba Sigong was still full of worries, he knew the strength of the Shatuo army, how could he be defeated in their hands so easily.

"Soviet envoy, we defeated Li Guochang and his son in the first battle, and the brothers are also tired, why don't you rest here for the night first, and wait for Zhang Duyuhou's soldiers and horses by the way."

Su Hongzhen smiled: "I said Brother Tuoba, don't you still want to say that this is the strategy of the Shatuo people to deceive and lure the enemy, right?" The hundreds of corpses of Shatuo cavalry in this valley, and the thousands of war horses, can not be faked. What's more, in the battle just now, Li Guochang and Li Keyong were almost captured by the two thieves, how could this matter still be a fraud. The Shatuo people were indeed deceived before, but their ambush has been broken by us, and now, how can there be any ambush, Li Guochang is too late to escape. If we delay here, these two big fish will run away. ”

The other officers also looked at Tuoba Sigong with anticipation: "General, let's fight!" ”

Although Tuoba Sigong also served as the vanguard envoy, he was originally a guest army, and secondly, he was the right vanguard envoy, under the left vanguard envoy Su Hongzhen. At this time, seeing that all the monarchs wanted to make meritorious contributions, he couldn't stop it, so he had to agree. At the same time, he was also thinking in his heart, maybe he was a bit of a cup bow snake shadow, Li Keyong father and son were not invincible, didn't he defeat Li Guochang once before, and now he defeated it again, maybe one more time, he could capture these two thieves, this is a great achievement.

"Since everyone asks if they should fight, then it is up to the will of the Soviet army. However, it is best to immediately send a messenger to report the situation to the Chinese army Zhang Duyu Marquis, on the one hand, to report to Zhang Duyu Marquis, and on the other hand, to ask Zhang Duyu Marquis to lead troops to follow, thinking that it is a foolproof strategy. "Tuoba Sigong is the most rear.

"Okay, just do what General Tuoba wants." Su Hongzhen said briskly.

In this battle, more than 500 people were killed in the Shatuo army, and more than 100 people were seriously injured on the battlefield, all of whom were directly beheaded by Su Hongzhen. Su Hongzhen's captive army and Tuoba Sigong's party soldiers also suffered considerable losses, with nearly 1,000 seriously wounded and even more lightly wounded, with a casualty ratio of two to one.

Immediately, after discussing with Tuoba Sigong, Su Hongzhen left more than 300 lightly wounded soldiers to clean up the battlefield and take care of those seriously wounded.

After resting for a while, drinking water and eating dry food, the two continued the pursuit with more than 4,500 cavalry.

Chasing all the way, Shatuo people were always in front of him, but he couldn't catch up, and the angry Su Hongzhen scolded non-stop. Chased until dusk the next day, along the road from time to time you can see the Shatuo people's war horses tired to the side of the road. Su Hongzhen was overjoyed and ordered to speed up the march.

After chasing for a while, he finally saw the Shatuo people fleeing forward.

The captives and the party soldiers cheered, followed by the Shatuo soldiers, and before they knew it, they had entered a valley.

Tuoba Sigong saw that the terrain of the valley was extremely dangerous, and a bad feeling had already risen in his heart, and he hurriedly asked, "Where is this place?" ”

Someone next to him replied: "This is Honggu!" ”

Tuoba Sigong was shocked, "Honggu? Isn't it the place where Li Ke in Cao Xiang was defeated by an ambush by luring the enemy? It's not good, this is Li Ya'er's trick, there is an ambush here, retreat quickly! ”

Tuoba Sizhong was a little unconvinced: "Then it is impossible for Li Ya'er to be defeated in Jingle, but he set up an ambush in Honggu to ambush, these two places are hundreds of miles apart." ”

"There's no time to talk about these people, get out of here!"

"Big brother, General Su has led the captive army to kill it." Tuoba Sizhong remembered that Su Hongzhen had saved his life.

"I can't care so much, no matter how late it is, we all have to take it here." After saying that, Tuoba Sigong immediately ordered the whole army to retreat.

As soon as the order to retreat was issued, there was a shout of killing all around, and ambushes broke out in all directions. Li Guochang and Li Keyong, who had fled for their lives in embarrassment, also immediately turned around to fight, how could they have the slightest intention of dying. The army that rushed in front immediately fell into a heavy encirclement, and the party cavalry wanted to retreat, when a cavalry rushed from the mouth of the valley, just blocking their retreat.

"Shi Jingsi in the white robe is here, and the party dog doesn't want to run for his life!" A white-robed young general patted his horse and led the army to kill, just blocking the retreat of the party members. (To be continued......)
