Zhu Lingshi had been waiting at the rear for a long time. After seeing Tuoba Si's army rushing out, he immediately ordered his soldiers to disperse and hide in the mountains on the left and right, using rocks as bunkers. After that, there was a dense rain of arrows trying to organize the Northern Wei Dynasty.

The pace of the army.

Tuoba Si raised his head and glanced at Song Jun who was at a high place, but he happened to meet Zhu Lingshi's eyes.

"General Song..."

What made Zhu Lingshi feel a little scared was that Tuoba Si didn't see that kind of resentment in his eyes.

But helplessness, coupled with a little bit of...envy?

Tuoba Si was indeed envious.

The entire Northern Wei Dynasty currently has too few talents.

Not to mention generals of Zhu Lingshi's level, the entire Northern Wei Dynasty could barely compete with Zhu Lingshi.

But there were actually three, even four or five of them on Liu Song's side!

The situation in the civil service was even worse. Although Cui Hao was strong, Xu Xianzhi and Xie Hui under Liu Yu were equally talented.

There are also elites cultivated by countless aristocratic families, who can crush the Northern Wei Dynasty in both quantity and quality.

In fact, there are many talents in the north.

But most of them are Han Chinese.

It is already a miracle that Cui Hao occupied a seat in the power center of the Northern Wei Dynasty with his talents. If more Han people moved into the center of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Xianbei nobles would probably give up.

In the past, Tuoba Si was always worried about this and did not dare to use Han people wantonly. He also always had a defensive attitude towards the Han people in the north.

But now it seems.

Not relying on the strength of the Han people is a dead end!

Tuoba Si had already strengthened his belief in his heart.

If there is a future after this war, even if it causes unrest among the Xianbei nobles, he will introduce Han power into the court.

The only ones who can deal with the Han people will always be the Han people.

But for now, we still need to escape from Pingyang and enter Shangdang County.

The reason why we want to enter Shangdang County is because of its special geographical location.

Shangdang County is surrounded by mountains, and its overall structure resembles the character "work".

The vertical line in the middle is the main body of Shangdang County, which is a small piece of plain where the eldest son of Shangdang County's administrative office is located.

The four small horizontal extensions are the passages into Shangdang County.

To the northeast is Shexian County, which connects Wei County, the hinterland of Hebei Province.

To the southeast is Huai County, which connects to Hanoi County in Hebei Province.

To the southwest is Zhi County, from where you can reach Luoyang Baduan.

To the northwest is Jiexiu, connecting Hedong.

This is also where Tuoba Si wants to break through.

As long as they reach Shangdang County, they can at least integrate the troops from Hebei and Shangdang, giving the Northern Wei Dynasty the possibility of fighting Liu Yu.

If Tuoba Si rushes back to Jinyang in the north in a hurry, he will hand over Shangdang County to others.

The geographical importance of Shangdang County is so important. Once it is surrendered, the Song army can defeat Shangdang County and the Northern Wei army in Hebei one by one. Then everything will stop.

Therefore, facing Zhu Lingshi's attack, Tuoba Si did not stop.

Even if you risk your life, you must escape from this battlefield!

Tuoba Si was lying on the back of his horse, with sharp arrows flying over his head. Several times, he even felt the sharp edge of the arrow flying close to his scalp with a cold light, and he was already breaking out in cold sweat.

"Bring me the bow!"

Zhu Lingshi saw that Tuoba Si was running away regardless, so he asked his soldiers to take out their bows and arrows, and pointed them at Tuoba Si.

While holding his breath and concentrating, an arrow shot out from Zhu Lingshi's hand like a meteor chasing the moon, with great force, and hit Tuoba Si's head directly.

"Your Majesty! Danger!"

Just when the arrow was about to hit Tuoba Si's head, the soldiers surrounding Tuoba Si discovered the Yama's post chasing him from the darkness. They ignored the etiquette and dragged Tuoba Si away.

His sleeves pulled him to the side.

Tuoba Si made a move and almost fell off his horse.

"call out!"

The arrow slightly scratched Tuoba Si's cheek with a sound of wind, and a scarlet wound suddenly appeared on his face.

"His Majesty……"

"Let's go!"

Tuoba Si didn't care about feeling the joy of escaping from death. He still buried his head and rushed forward, and soon led his people to break out of the encirclement set by Zhu Lingshi.

"pity……"

Zhu Lingshi put down the bow and arrow with some regret and sat back to watch a big fish slip away from his hand.

"If Tuoba Si is left here, the battle will be much easier."

Once Tuoba Si died or was captured, the other Northern Wei armies were leaderless. How could they resist the elite Song army?

But for the current situation, Zhu Lingshi can only blame it on metaphysics...

Maybe this kind of emperor is naturally blessed with luck?

But Zhu Lingshi didn't care either.

Tuoba Si could run away in Hedong. Can he still run away in Shangdang?

Even if Shangdang runs away, can Hebei still run away?

Even if Hebei ran away, in the grassland...

Well, if Tuoba Si has already run to the grassland, there is no need to chase him.

Seeing that Tuoba Si had escaped, Zhu Lingshi ignored him and asked his soldiers to continue intercepting the fleeing Northern Wei cavalry.

One more left today will save one less tomorrow.

Zhu Lingshi can still settle this account.

The war lasted until noon. Liu Yucai, who had broken through the camp from the front, arrived belatedly and met with Zhu Lingshi.

"Your Majesty, what was the result of the battle?"

Liu Yu was naturally in a very good mood at this time.

"Of course it's a great victory!"

"Six thousand soldiers died in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and more than 10,000 people surrendered!"

According to Liu Yu's estimation, the Northern Wei camp had about 50,000 people.

There were nearly 20,000 people left in the hands of the Song Army alone!

And it is impossible for all the remaining soldiers to follow Tuoba Si. In every war, the number of soldiers who survive or die in battle and surrender is not the largest.

But the missing soldiers.

At that time, the Northern Wei camp was in chaos, with too many soldiers fleeing in all directions.

Therefore, Liu Yu estimated that there were more than 10,000 cavalry around Tuoba Si, which meant that the opponent still had some destiny.

While the monarch and his ministers were discussing the situation of the battle, a scout came rushing from the rear.

"Your Majesty! Letter from General Wang Zhongde!"

Liu Yu took it and opened it, but he smiled knowingly.

Zhu Lingshi stretched his neck: "Could it be that Old General Wang has some good news?"

Liu Yu laughed loudly: "Indeed! Wang Zhongde planned to defeat the Northern Wei army in Zhi County! Now Tuoba Si's biggest support is gone!"

"Let's go! Go back and organize your troops!"

"Have a night's rest, and tomorrow we will catch up with Tuoba Si and block him to death in Shangdang County, without giving him a chance to gather his troops!"

"I have sent Shen Linzi from Hongnong to Zhi County to support Wang Zhongde."

"This is to block both ends of Shangdang County! Even if Tuoba Si has the ability to fly to heaven, he will stay here for me!"

In fact, Tuoba Si was not without a way out.

He can also run eastward from Shexian County to Hebei Province.

But if the Northern Wei Dynasty abandoned Hedong and Shangdang one after another, the Song army would have the capital to directly invade Pingcheng, the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

At that time, Liu Yu would be able to sit firmly in Bingzhou, slowly trap the Northern Wei army in Hebei, and completely eliminate Xianbei's hidden dangers.

"Tuoba Si, you can't escape this disaster!"
