Chapter 247 Encirclement and reinforcements

On the hillside in the distance, the two generals couldn't believe it when they saw that Xi Jin was easily surrounded.

"General Tan, didn't you say that... Xi Jin is always cautious, so your Majesty's trick might not work?"

Tan Daoji gritted his teeth and cursed: "How did I know?"

"Before, this guy was stared at like Sun Tzu by me in Yecheng. I beat him to death without sending troops! Why is he so crazy now and dares to pursue our army alone?"

The two people on the hillside were Tan Daoji and Fu Hongzhi, who was in charge of commanding the Changning cavalry.

Their operation was sent by Liu Yizhen. Before the two left, Liu Yizhen specifically told them to see if they could surround Xi Jin.

The two of them originally had no hope. After all, Xi Jin was considered a famous general in the Northern Wei Dynasty. How could he fall into such a simple trap so easily?

Then……

Liu Yizhen's words turned out to be a prophecy! Xi Jin actually fell into the encirclement stupidly!

Doesn't he even know how to use scouts to look around?

Is this Xi Jin a barbarian general famous for commanding cavalry?

This is simply an unforgivable huge mistake for a battle-hardened warrior!

But this is a good thing for Song Jun!

Fu Hongzhi smiled and pulled the reins and attacked the Northern Wei rear army.

"There's General Lao Tan. I'll go and watch from behind to prevent those little bastards from getting too obsessed with killing and forgetting to encircle and suppress Suo Lu."

After Fu Hongzhi left, Tan Daoji also began to command his soldiers to charge and kill.

Like the confused generals of the Song Army, the soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty were also confused.

They don't understand...

Why did the Song army dare to ambush them on the north bank so openly?

And Xi Jin hasn’t discovered it yet!

What's even more terrifying is that if the Northern Wei cavalry is energetic, even if they are besieged, they will have the confidence to break out of the encirclement and even complete a counterattack!

But now...

Humans are powerless, and horses are powerless.

The arrows shot were crooked, and the charging momentum was weak.

These are not the elite cavalry of the Northern Wei Dynasty. They are just like a group of farmers riding on donkeys.

On the other hand, look at the Song Army.

Finally, there was a chance to fight against the Northern Wei army, and everyone took out the breath they were holding back on them.

The soldiers of Tan Daoji tribe used long swords and short blades in perfect coordination, and dragged a Northern Wei cavalryman off his horse and hacked him to death with swords.

The Changning cavalry of Fu Hong's tribe were no less generous.

The Xiliang war horses they rode were already a bit taller than the Youzhou horses of the Northern Wei Dynasty. After charging, they directly crushed the opponent into a pulp. In just a moment, they penetrated the Northern Wei cavalry formation four or five times and defeated the Northern Wei army.

Xi Jin, who was surrounded, felt annoyed at first, and then frightened.

"Retreat! Retreat to Huai County!"

He knew the current situation of the Northern Wei army very well.

After a whole day and night without rest, they were afraid that they would fall asleep on the spot if they fell off their horses.

I hope they will cheer up and fight against the Song army, which is in full swing. The biggest possibility is not to risk their lives and survive, but to be completely annihilated!

Now escape to Huai County and use the city wall to stop the Song army!

With Xi Jin's order, many Northern Wei cavalry immediately turned their horses and left.

It's just that the Northern Wei army's formation is now in chaos, and Xi Jin's orders cannot be conveyed well to the entire army that stretches for several miles.

Many Northern Wei cavalrymen had no idea what was going on. They just saw the Wei army and the Song army rushing over in front of them. Before they could react, they were knocked down by the Song army.

Some even collided with one of their own, and Song Jun easily won a double kill.

Xi Jin could no longer care about anything else at this time and just rushed towards Huai County with his head covered.

The huge psychological gap from being a sure winner to being a bereaved dog made Xi Jin's mind go blank, and he just wanted to leave this terrifying battlefield as soon as possible.

All the senior officials of the Northern Wei Dynasty ignored one thing——

The strength of Liu Song's army was not limited to Liu Yu alone.

In terms of military affairs, the current main force of the Liu Song Dynasty is the army that followed Liu Yu in the south and north, destroyed many countries, unified the Central Plains, and fought hundreds of battles in the south!

General Lun, Tan Daoji, Zhu Lingshi, and Wang Zhongde fought more battles than the generals of the Northern Wei Dynasty who had been at peace for several years.

Perhaps Liu Yu's death will cause the Song Army's combat effectiveness to decline somewhat, but it will definitely not change from an elite force to a bully that can be bullied by everyone!

It's just that they understood it a little too late...

When Tan Daoji saw Xi Jin fleeing to Huai County, his face suddenly became strange again.

Because Liu Yizhen specifically told him:

"If Xi Jin wants to escape, let him escape. It is best to force him into the city."

At this time, Liu Yizhen's face appeared in Tan Daoji's mind, and his voice also came: "Otherwise, how could we gather around and call for reinforcements?"

Everything now turned out to be exactly as Liu Yizhen predicted, and Xi Jin actually escaped to Huai County.

As for encircling the point to call for reinforcements, you can guess what kind of tactic this is from the name Tan Daoji.

The most troublesome thing about the Northern Wei cavalry that caused the Song army was their powerful mobility.

But now as long as Huai County is surrounded, the Northern Wei cavalry will have to surround Huai County, so its greatest advantage will no longer be there.

As for whether Tuoba Si will come to rescue Xi Jin...

There is no need to think about this issue!

Xi Jin is a die-hard member of the Tuoba family. If Tuoba Si gives up on Xi Jin, what will you make other Xianbei tribes think?

When his thoughts came to this, Tan Daoji covered his head, feeling that his strategic thinking was somewhat unable to keep up with Liu Yizhen.

So monstrous!

The control over people's hearts is completely terrifying!

Tan Daoji suddenly became worried about his future civil servant colleagues.

They may have eight hundred tricks in front of Liu Yizhen, and they may not have an easy life in the future...

But this has nothing to do with Tan Daoji for the time being. What he is doing now is to keep as many Northern Wei cavalry as possible.

At the same time, a letter must be sent to Liu Yizhen in Luoyang to make the next tactical arrangement.

When the Song Army in Luoyang received the information, they were also surprised.

Especially Xie Hui, after seeing the information, he even doubted whether it was false information made by Tan Daoji to please Liu Yizhen.

Xi Jin...is this name easy to fall into the trap?

Faced with the surprise of the ministers, Liu Yizhen just said, "This is what I expected."

This calm appearance reminded everyone of a deceased person.

"Young men are big thieves."

Xie An, the charming prime minister of the Jiangzuo family of the Xie family who was full of character but had to be admired.

Especially now that there are some old people among the officials of Liu Song Dynasty who have met Xie An. At this moment, they all fell into a trance when they saw Liu Yizhen's appearance.

"Now that Xi Jin is in a urn, our army should make full preparations to fight Tuoba Si!"

At this point, it was already clear that Liu Yizhen's target was Tuoba Si, the emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty who had half of his body buried in the ground and who directly and indirectly killed his brother's father!

"The whole army crosses the river! I will personally bury the Northern Wei Dynasty under the Nine Netherworlds of Huangquan!"
