Tuoba Si couldn't think too much and could only raise his scimitar and try his best to block it.
throat!
Zhang Liao's sword collided with it, and the force was so powerful that Tuoba Sibi's tiger's mouth was shattered. The scimitar in his hand collapsed as if it was pressed by a force of ten thousand kilograms.
A scream was heard, and the blade came down with force, tearing the armor to pieces. Without any strength left, the blade actually cut into Tuoba Sibi's shoulder bone.
Tuoba Sibi was in extreme pain, his legs softened, and he knelt down on the ground.
Zhang Liao fought with bloody eyes, intent to kill, gritted his teeth and roared, then strengthened his tiger arm again, cutting the sword in his hand into Tuoba Sibi's shoulder inch by inch.
"Ah~~ah~~" Tuoba Sibing was in pain like bone marrow, howling like a slaughtered pig, blood gushing out from the wound, and in the blink of an eye it was soaked all over his body.
Zhang Liao snorted coldly, and with a fierce hand of his sword, he flew up and kicked Tuoba Sibi in the chest.
This Xianbei aristocratic dandy was like a kite with its string broken, flying upside down and falling heavily to the ground.
With such severe injuries, Tuoba Sibi no longer had the strength to get up, so he could only crawl on the ground and twitch in pain.
"Kill, kill all these Xianbei bastards!" Zhang Liao, covered in blood and full of murderous intent, raised his knife and shouted.
When Zhang Liao followed Ding Yuan to Bingzhou, he was on guard against the Xianbei and Huns. At that time, he hated these Hu people to the core and hated them for constantly attacking the Han Dynasty, burning, killing and looting like bandits.
Zhang Liao, who had experienced many masters, could only fight in the civil war even though he had a lot of hatred.
Now following Yu Yanliang, he was finally able to show his best ability in his life. He attacked Hu Lu and vented the anger he had accumulated in his heart for many years. How could he not kill him happily today?
Three thousand Chu elites swarmed up the mountain and killed all the more than two thousand Xianbei troops on the Evil Sun Ridge without sparing any life.
When the sun rose in the east, the Evil Sun Ridge was already littered with corpses. Countless Xianbei corpses were trampled mercilessly under the feet of the Chu soldiers.
Zhang Liao climbed to the top of Wuyang Ridge and looked northward. Under the morning light, the faint outline of Dingxiang City could be seen.
Zhang Liao wiped all the blood on the sword on the corpse of a Xianbei man. He waved his hand and shouted coldly: "Send the victory report to your majesty quickly. Then plant more flags on the top of the mountain to scare Yuwen Tuo."
The defender of Dingxiang City is none other than Yuwentuo, the leader of the Yuwen tribe, the second largest tribe in the western Xianbei tribe.
Taking the Evil Sun Ridge only opened the door to the outside of the Great Wall. Only by taking Dingxiang City could Da Chu's army continuously enter the Monan Grassland.
Zhang Liao's order was passed on, and a group of scouts galloped away to deliver the news of the successful surprise attack on Evil Yang Ridge. Pegasus sent the news to Yan Liang who was coming.
At the same time, thousands of Da Chu battle flags were planted on the Evil Sun Ridge.
Looking up at Evil Sun Ridge from a distance, one can see the war flags on the ridge covering the sky and the sun, and the vegetation and trees are covered with soldiers. It seems like there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses occupying this dangerous Evil Ridge.
In addition to planting many flags to make people suspicious, Zhang Liao also divided some cavalry, tied branches to their horses' tails, and galloped back and forth on the Evil Sun Ridge, creating the impression that thousands of Chu troops were moving towards the Evil Sun Ridge in a steady stream.
Illusion.
…
Several hundred miles away, Jiuyuan City.
The 30,000 dragon cavalry guards commanded by Yan Liang were galloping towards the outside of the Great Wall along the north road.
Since Jingxingguan entered Bingzhou, Yan Liang and his army had only rested for a few hours every day for several days. They were working non-stop, adhering to the extreme principle of valuing troops and speed.
Jingxing Road is the flattest road among the Taihang Roads. Yan Liang's army marched lightly and crossed the Taihang Mountains in a few days, entered Xinxing County, and rushed towards Yanmen in the north.
Yan Liang knew that the battle of Evil Yang Ridge had begun as planned, and he had to rush Tuoba Liwei's army out of the fortress before Tuoba Liwei, who was heading east, discovered his true intention and complete Xu Shu's three-way interception strategy.
In the afternoon, the horses were exhausted, so Yan Liang asked the army to rest until they had lunch before continuing on their way.
Yan Liang also jumped off the red rabbit, drank a sip of wine, and chewed a few bites of minced mutton to satisfy his hunger.
A horse galloped forward, and it turned out to be Jiang Wei.
When the battle came out of the fortress, the generals Yan Liang led were basically generals who were proficient in cavalry. Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, Wen Chou, Zhang Xiu, Tai Shi Ci, Deng Ai, Jiang Wei and other generals who were good at cavalry all accompanied the expedition.
"Your Majesty, we have a good news outside the Great Wall." Jiang Wei stepped forward, rolled his saddle and dismounted, and shouted excitedly: "General Wenyuan has received good news. He has captured Foyang Ridge, killed two thousand barbarians, and captured Tuo alive.
Ba Liwei’s nephew Tuoba Sibi.”
"Okay, Wenyuan did a great job!"
Yan Liang became energetic, jumped up, and snatched the victory report from Jiang Wei's hand. As he glanced at it, Yan Liang's Yingwu face was filled with excitement.
"Your Majesty, Evil Sun Ridge has descended, what should we do next?" Jiang Wei asked excitedly.
Yan Liang raised his head, looked to the north with a sneer, waved his hand and said: "Tuoba Li will return home when he hears that Er Yang Ridge has been captured, and will send an order to Zilong and Ziqin, telling them to act according to the plan."
"No!" Jiang Wei responded enthusiastically, got on his horse and rode away.
Yan Liang drank all the wine in his bag, swallowed the mutton in his hand, and jumped onto the red rabbit with pride.
The divine horse neighed, and Yan Liang pointed his horse whip: "Give me the order, and the army will set off immediately and follow me out of the fortress."
The 30,000 elite knights of the Dragon Cavalry Guard soon heard the news of the victory at Evil Sun Ridge. They were all deeply affected, and they were all high-spirited to fight.
Thirty thousand tiger and bear knights, forgetting the fatigue of marching, urged their horses and continued to march towards the outside of the fortress.
The army marched north along Jiuyuan, passed through several counties in Yuanping and Pingcheng, and arrived in Yanmen County within two days.
…
Ding Xiangcheng.
The Xianbei people in the city were in chaos, and their leader Yuwen Tuo was also shocked and confused.
"How is it possible? Yan Liang was clearly leading an army to conquer that old dog Murong Hong. How could he appear to the west of me and capture Evil Yang Ridge without any warning..."
Yu Wentuo paced in the leather tent, muttering in his mouth, full of unbelievable horror.
"Report~~" The scout rushed in and exclaimed: "Report to the leader, something bad has happened. The imperial flag of Chu has been set up on the Evil Sun Ridge. It is most likely that Yan Liang himself has arrived with his army."
Yan Liang, come in person!
Yuwen Tuo changed in shock, Nuo Da's body was shaken violently with fright, and his mind was so frightened that he lost all control.
The news of the fall of Evil Yang Ridge was enough to shock Yuwen Tuo, but now that Yan Liang came to Evil Yang Ridge in person, it made him even more frightened.
In his image, Yan was supposed to be hundreds of miles away in Youzhou, commanding the Chu army and fighting Murong Hong until death, but now he miraculously traveled hundreds of miles and appeared in Evil Sun Ridge like a god general.
, appeared under his nose.
How could Yuwen Tuo, who didn't know the truth, not feel frightened?
There are thousands of flags on Evil Sun Ridge, at least 10,000 to 20,000 men and horses, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, who are leaving Yanmen Pass in a steady stream. Now, even the emperor of Da Chu himself is here.
All the intelligence shows that the Emperor of Chu's conquest of Xianbei in the east is a lie, but the destruction of Xianbei in the west is true.
Moreover, the Chu army on the front line of Wuyang Ridge has probably reached 50,000 to 60,000 people.
As for his Dingxiang city, there were only 10,000 Yuwenbu cavalry.
"The Chu army is attacking. How can I defend Dingxiang City with only 10,000 soldiers and horses? Even if I hold on, when Master Tuoba arrives, our Yuwen Department will probably suffer heavy losses. By then,
What can I use to argue for my right to speak in front of Master Tuoba..."
Yu Wentuo thought about it before and after. The more he thought about it, the more he became afraid. The more he thought about it, the more he felt he was in danger.
After weighing for a long time, Yuwen Tuo gritted his teeth and shouted: "Pass my order, the entire army will immediately abandon Dingxiang City and retreat in the direction of Baidao. At the same time, an emergency report will be sent to Master Tuoba, asking him to report back quickly to rescue Baidao."
Yuwen Tuo did not dare to take down his Yuwen tribe's cavalry to counter Yan Liang's "70,000 to 80,000" army. Under this disadvantage, he had no choice but to order the abandonment of Dingxiang City.
The more than 10,000 Xianbei soldiers left behind 30,000 to 40,000 cattle and sheep, and before the Chu army came to attack, they fled northward in a panic.
The Chu scouts who were stationed near Dingxiang City immediately reported the news to Evil Yang Ridge.
At this time, on the Evil Sun Ridge, Zhang Liao was still drinking the kumiss seized from the Xianbei people and eating roasted whole lamb with relish.
More than three thousand Chu army knights also stationed their troops on the ridge, leisurely enjoying the scenery outside the fortress.
"General Wenyuan, Dingxiang City is right in front of us. Why don't we take advantage of the victory and attack and capture Dingxiang City in one fell swoop?" Tai Shixiang asked in confusion.
Zhang Liao said calmly: "There are ten thousand Xianbei soldiers in Dingxiang City. How can you and I attack the city with only three thousand soldiers and horses?"
"However, if we don't attack, the Xianbei people will know our army's intentions, strengthen the city, and increase the number of defenders. If we attack again at that time, it will be even more difficult." Tai Shixiang said anxiously.
"Don't worry, your majesty said that Yuwen Tuo, that bastard, will definitely run away without a fight." Zhang Liao chewed the mutton and said with certainty.
Flee without a fight?
Taishi Xiang was immediately confused. You must know that Yuwen Tuo had ten thousand soldiers, and Dingxiang City was also an important stronghold of Xianbei. So how could Yuwen Tuo escape without fighting when his own army did not attack?
This is too unreasonable.
When Taishi Xiang was puzzled, several cavalry scouts rushed back from the north and went straight to the Evil Sun Ridge.
"General, the Xianbei people have retreated in large numbers, and Dingxiang City is now an empty city." The scout gasped and shouted excitedly.
After hearing this information, Tai Shixiang's expression changed with shock, and he looked at Zhang Liao with surprised eyes, as if he couldn't believe that Hu Lu actually retreated without a fight.
Even Zhang Liao, who was confident, was slightly taken aback and a little surprised by the news.
Zhang Liao threw the leg of lamb to the ground, stood up, looked at Dingxiang City from a distance, and sighed: "Your Majesty's judgment is truly incredible. Although I was ordered by Your Majesty, I never expected it.
, Yuwen Tuo, this bastard, actually escaped without a fight." (To be continued...)
