Chapter 248 Attack on the Five Dragon Cave
Chapter 248 Attack on Wulong Cave
Liu Yizhen personally led the Song army from Luoyang across the river to meet Tan Daoji in Huai County.
At this time, Tan Daoji no longer hesitated as before, and he felt somewhat respectful to Liu Yizhen like a god.
"Why is Your Majesty so sure that Xi Jin will really be ambushed by our army and flee to Huai County?"
Liu Yizhen patiently explained to Tan Daoji: "Xi Jin fled to Yecheng immediately after being defeated by General Tan last time because he was afraid of the Luoyang army behind General Tan, and even more afraid of the late emperor."
"Although he is also defeated now, I think he is mostly upset, thinking that it was just his carelessness that led to the defeat."
"In this way, he will definitely not give up Huai County and flee to Yecheng, but he will hold on to the idea of making a comeback to fight against our army, so he is naturally trapped in this city by our army..."
Only then did Tan Daoji suddenly realize.
But then he looked at Liu Yizhen like a monster.
When Tan Daoji followed Liu Yu before, although Liu Yu was victorious in every battle, he relied on his own watertight arrangements to block all the opponent's escape routes.
Liu Yizhen is different.
He simply focused his attacks on the enemy's weak points.
Even though there are omissions and flaws everywhere else, Liu Yizhen just stares at the flaw his opponent leaks and bites it.
This is just like a gambler. If you are not careful, your whole army will be wiped out.
But it happened that this time the bet was won.
"This time, a total of 30,000 Wei troops were defeated, 1,000 were killed, and 8,000 were captured. Most of the others have fled."
The results of the battle were not great, because it was easy to catch the cavalry by surprise, but it was difficult to annihilate them all.
But no one cares.
What comes next is the main meal!
One after another, Northern Wei cavalry who fled from Huai County went to Yecheng and brought the news of Xi Jin's attack to Tuoba Si.
When Tuoba Si heard the news, his eyes darkened.
"Xi Jin mistook me, Da Wei!"
If Xi Jin was killed or even captured alive, it would be a disaster for the Northern Wei Dynasty, which had finally escaped Liu Yu's shadow!
"Get your troops in order! I'm going to rescue Xi Jin now!"
When he learned that Xi Jin was leading the exhausted troops to charge towards the Song army, Tuoba Si was even more depressed, as if there was a mouthful of old blood stuck in his chest.
"I clearly told Xi Jin not to underestimate Song Jun, but he still..."
Tuoba Si only hoped that he could rescue Xi Jin from Huai County in time.
No one would have thought that the true intention of the Song army was actually Tuoba Si, because in that case, "bold" would not be enough to describe the Song army, so this Wei army was not aware of the dangers that they and others would encounter.
The road from Yecheng to Huai County is not too far. Tuoba Si was eager to save people, and the team gradually became a little longer...
When the Wei army arrived near Huai County, they had to pass through a mountain stream. Above the mountain stream was the Wulong Cave, the largest cave in the Taihang Mountains. It was crisscrossed inside, and even locals might get lost if they entered it.
Tuoba Si walked by the mountain stream and looked at the Five Dragon Cave on the mountain, but he had a bad premonition in his heart.
The mountains and forests are quiet and green leaves are lush.
There seemed to be only the trickling sound of running water between heaven and earth.
For ordinary people, this is naturally a deep and pure paradise. If there were monks living here in seclusion, there would probably be several myths and legends spread from here.
But for the general, this kind of silence is really scary.
Tuoba Si endured the pain in his lungs and looked up at the location of the Five Dragon Cave.
Under the warm sunshine, Tuoba Si saw a flash of bright light.
What?
Tuoba Si looked carefully and saw a few drops of cold sweat flowing from his forehead.
What kind of light is that?
It's obviously a shining blade! That dazzling light is reflected from the blade!
Tuoba Si's mouth felt dry for a while.
Taking advantage of the fact that there was no abnormality found around him, Tuoba Si looked at the surrounding environment.
East!
There is an open space to the east! If you form a formation with a mountain behind you, you can more or less resist the Song army!
Without caring about anything else, Tuoba Si immediately ordered his soldiers to leave the narrow mountain stream and head towards the open space to the east.
Tuoba Si guessed right, there was indeed an ambush of the Song army on the mountain.
Moreover, General Zhu Chaoshi personally led his elite troops to be stationed here.
Seeing that Tuoba Si abnormally mobilized the Wei army to go eastward and away from the mountain stream, Zhu Chaoshi also realized that he had been exposed!
He walked out of the hidden cave, drew his bow and nocked an arrow.
"Qiang!"
The bowstring is tight and the sharp arrow is flying.
The sound of bows and arrows was like a torch in the dark, instantly lighting up the surrounding signals.
Countless Song soldiers appeared on the hillside, shooting bows and arrows at the Wei army below.
Because of the twists and turns of the mountainous terrain, the Song Army's sharp weapon crossbows were not suitable for transporting to the mountains, but when thrown from a commanding position, even bows and arrows could cause considerable damage.
The dense rain of arrows was like a huge iron curtain falling from the sky, and the soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty were breathless.
This is not a metaphor.
Instead, a wave of sharp arrows went down, and indeed many soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty were nailed to the ground.
Panic and uneasiness spread among the soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty. If the emperor Tuoba Si was not in the army, many soldiers would probably break away from the army and flee.
One wave comes after another!
From the southern ramp, a group of cavalry rushed out from there.
【Fu】【Mao】
Surprisingly, it was Fu Hongzhi and Mao Xiuzhi who led the cavalry in the Song army. They led all the cavalry in the Song army to charge towards the Northern Wei Dynasty. At this time, no one could care about the soldiers under their command anymore.
If you don’t use it now, it will be too late if you want to use it later!
A large number of cavalry rushed towards the panicked Northern Wei cavalry with the power of rushing across mountains and rivers, which made Tuoba Si's scalp numb.
He knew roughly how many cavalry the Song Army had!
At this moment, Song Jun undoubtedly revealed all his trump cards and wanted to directly complete the final showdown with him.
Liu Yizhen...
Tuoba Si felt angry when he thought of this name.
Is this how wars are fought?
Didn't his father teach him to fight with justice?
How can you put all your cards on the table as soon as you come on stage?
What if I get tricked? What if it’s the enemy’s plan?
At this moment, Tuoba Si couldn't help but curse in his heart.
Facing Liu Yu, he was powerless.
It is a kind of crushing in terms of strength, a kind of helplessness that no matter how hard you struggle, you will be defeated by the opponent.
Facing Liu Yizhen, he was also very powerless.
But it's because every time the opponent makes a move, it's so unexpected. Even though the upper body is already in a good position, the opponent suddenly strikes a finger, which is really depressing.
Ask yourself, if you trapped half of the main force of the Song Army and the commander of the Song Army, would you let this half of the main force go and ambush a reinforcement?
It’s like losing the watermelon and picking up the sesame seeds, superficial!
But it’s just this superficiality that puts me in this situation...
At this moment, Tuoba Si saw a big flag on the horizon, which made him tense up.
【Liu】!
Liu Yizhen actually led his troops here in person!
At this moment, Tuoba Si looked at several Song troops and finally realized something.
The decisive battle came so quietly and unexpectedly!
Chapter completed!
