Royal Road

The handsome flag above his head was rustled and swayed by the strong wind. The banners were supposed to make people happy, but now Liu Cong is disturbed. They are going to lose! The enemy seized the best opportunity.

Taking advantage of Qingqi being disturbed by thunder, they rushed into the middle army defended by pawns, easily disturbing the formation. Then the soldiers were divided into two groups, half of them greeted the Qingqi who hurried back, and the other half circled back, and once again broke through the already chaotic Chinese army.

This entry and exit immediately turned five thousand people into flies without their heads. It was also at this moment that Liu Cong discovered that not all the soldiers and horses were Xianbei, and half of the Shangdang cavalry. But these Jiehu are not inferior to the Xianbei people, and they have handbows to clear the way, and their lethality is several times greater. As for the Xiongnu cavalry on the Xianbei iron cavalry, they couldn't get the slightest benefit, but were rushed by the routs in the distance to be untenable.

Seeing the unspeakable chaos of the battlefield, any military order has become a display, and it can't keep up with the frightened soldiers who just want to escape. The big banner above your head is no longer a magic weapon for stabilizing the military's mind, but a grass sign that will kill people!

"Rolled the banner and withdrew to Gaodu!" Liu Cong finally made a decision.

Now is not the time to save the situation, and more importantly, how to escape back alive! The number of enemy soldiers is similar to their own, unable to outflank or siege, even if the soldiers are defeated, many people can escape. In other words, they are also elites in the army. These defeated soldiers are very likely to return to Gaodu spontaneously, waiting for the next military order. As long as he survives, he can take these soldiers through Taihangxing to Hanoi.

If you can save the situation in Hanoi and win a few games, you might not be able to make up for it. However, thinking so, now, Liu Cong can only lie on his horse and flee in a hurry with hundreds of soldiers. The handsome banner that once made him proud has been rolled up and hidden, afraid that the chasing soldiers will identify him. The soldiers even took off their cloaks and let him cover the armor...

The winter wind was stern and cold, but Liu Cong's anger could not be blown away. How many times have you fled so embarrassingly? Is going to the party a nightmare that he will never be able to overcome? This time he made all preparations, and even brought armor and riding gear. But now that it is not a victory, I am afraid that those precious horse armors will not be returned!

"General! Chasing soldiers are coming from behind!" a soldier called out loudly.

Liu Cong turned around abruptly, and saw a group of 500 enemy soldiers following him.

"Detour! Get rid of them!" Liu Cong roared without any hesitation.

He didn't realize what he said. The opponent has only five hundred riders, but they have eight hundred. But the extra 300 people couldn't make him feel any resistance, just want to escape faster. This time is no better than the previous time. Did he get it? Liu Cong can't say it clearly yet. If he fights the enemy head-on, can he really win?

The hip mount urged even more anxiously. Liu Cong had no other thoughts in his mind, he just wanted to get rid of this group of chasing soldiers as soon as possible and escape back to Gaodu. The **** smell of the lingering nose never disappeared, making him confused whether it was a soldier from his side or an enemy behind him.

When bypassing a mountain road and preparing to cross a narrow mountain road, there was a heavy crash and horse neighing suddenly in front of him. Liu Cong held the horse rein desperately, his eyes widened in fright and anger.

A stone tree fell on the mountain, and it was hitting the front team. Dozens of pathfinder guards were **** and fell off their horses. More, it is shocked and unwilling to move forward.

Ambush ahead! They are like rabbits chased by hounds, and hit the trap!

"Hahaha!" Liu Cong laughed wildly, with sorrow and hatred in his laughter, "Erlangs! Kill me!"

He is not a rabbit, never! He is the most gifted and most favored prince of the Han nation! There is a bloodline of Mao Dundan Yu noble and meaningless in his body! He is a goshawk! It's a tiger! He is bound to inherit the true fate of his father's throne! How could he be a stupid rabbit who was hunted down and fell into a trap? !

Liu Cong turned the horse's head, took off the bow, and wanted to ride and shoot along with his soldiers and rush out of the enemy's formation. However, before pulling the bowstring, a flying feather broke through the air and shot straight at his chest!

Liu Cong blocked it. He was still wearing armor, and the thick armor on his chest could stop the crossbow. But neither his arms nor his breastplate could resist the power of an arrow.

Hearing a ding sound, the arrow sank into the iron armor, and only a cluster of white feathers trembled slightly. Liu Cong looked at the arrow feathers in disbelief, his figure shook, and he planted his horse.

By the side of the mountain road, Yi Yan put down the hard bow in his hand and drew a saber. Needless to say, Jingqi followed closely behind him, rushing towards the panicked group of enemies.

A quarter of an hour later, the personal soldiers in the team raised their swords and cut off the head of one person and sent them to Yi Yanma: "General, this is the leader of the enemy chief!"

Yi Yan bent over to take the population and hung it on the horse at will: "Clean up and join the army."

This battle is a bit dangerous, but if it weren't the case, the Xiongnu army with Wanqi would surely escape. Finding enemy chiefs in the heavily guarded Chinese army is naturally not easy in a chaotic army. It is also impossible to chase people into traps and get rid of them.

Only when this person is dead can the Xiongnu be beaten and let them have a longer memory.

"What happened to the enemy forces besieging Gaodu?" Yi Yan asked in a deep voice, turning his horse's head.

"Yesterday, the trilogy attacked at night, and it has already defeated the Huns." The soldiers said immediately.

Liang's tribe was not idle either. After Liu Cong led his troops to leave, he attacked at night and defeated the tired soldiers who had attacked the city for several days in one fell swoop.

Yi Yan nodded, then said, "Where is Taihangxing?"

"After stopping the enemy in Wanzi City, after killing them all, they regained Tianjingguan."

"Shan." Yi Yan stopped asking more, urging Ma to rush back.

At this moment, on the wasteland after the war, there are only Shangdang soldiers and horses, and corpses all over the ground. After the coach fled, the rest of the team was left in a big collapse and escaped cleanly. As for those who couldn't escape, not a single prisoner stayed, and they killed all of them. To set off this tragic scene, it has the flavor of the battle of Changping.

Seeing Yi Yan Zong the horse back, Tuoba Yulu greeted him happily: "General Yi killed the Huns in charge? This man is Liu Yuanhai's son! It's really amazing!"

He could see Yi Yan's head hanging right away, and he was even more amazed that the other party was able to design such a wonderful strategy. This time, he was a prince of Han Dynasty, and I don't know if Liu Yuan will be mad with anger.

Yi Yan said calmly: "Even if it is Liu Yuan himself, I will take his life."

This is really arrogant, but it doesn't feel arrogant when placed on this Jie Ren general. Tuoba Yulv smiled and asked curiously: "By the way, what exactly did you put in front of the formation? Why can you hear thunder in the day? I heard that Liang Shijun also called out the falling thunder meteor before, but today The same?"

Yi Yan didn't answer this, but instead asked, "How much did the enemy escape?"

"About eight or nine thousand, right? The cavalry escaped more, but the heavy cavalry remained." Tuoba Yulu replied with a smile.

Although I was very curious about the tricks these Shang Party members made, but the other party didn't want to say, he also bypassed the matter obediently. However, this time with Yi Yan fighting together, he realized why Binzhou soldiers and horses are so powerful. Not to mention the thunder, it's just the hand crossbow that everyone in the cavalry is equipped with, the ballista in the army, and more than half of the archers, which makes people shudder. Crossbowmen have always been the nemesis of Qingqi, no wonder they can beat the slaves of Baibu without fighting back. What if you change yourself to attack? Tuoba Yulu quickly got rid of this idea, and his uncle would not attack and merge the state, at least during Liang Shijun's tenure, he would never do it!

"Thanks to General Tuoba's help in this battle, I will tell the master all the time." Yi Yan said politely.

He didn't count the rewards. But when he heard this, Tuoba Yulv was also satisfied. The big order that Liang Shijun mentioned before was given the title by the court. This time I was fighting the Huns, and I would certainly not treat them badly. As for the foundation of this state, it's better to explore it slowly.

I didn't care much about these Xianbei people. After dealing with the problems of defeating troops and Gaodu's defense, Yi Yan returned to Lucheng. Cui Ji went out to meet him personally.

"General Yi has done a great job again this time!" Cui Ji had heard about Liu Cong's killing a long time ago. This is even more exciting than repelling the Huns! It is also enough to stop those who are unpredictable. With such a result, even if Sima Yue came to kiss him, he couldn't pick what went wrong!

"Premier Cui won the award." Yi Yan arched his hands.

After the ceremony, the two walked into the main hall together, carefully handing over the chores at hand. After the war, the military will be dedicated to civil affairs. Winter farming has not yet ended. The troops who are drawn this time will have to make arrangements.

"But this time I killed Liu Cong, I don't know how the pseudo-Han will react? General Yi is afraid that he will stay in the Shangdang for some time." After all, Liu Cong is Liu Yuan's parent and child, and Cui Ji thinks better than Yi Yan. Thoughtful, exhorted.

Yi Yan didn't think Liu Yuan was the kind of person who would do his best to avenge his son. It is not surprising that the Huns have suffered many wars and lost their children. On the contrary, the Union State effectively repelled the Huns and killed the coach, which is worthy of vigilance. If it is not unexpected, it will not be a problem to stay stable after a few months.

When the summer harvest has recruits with grain and grass, the lord will not be afraid of the Xiongnu in this area.

Seeing that Yi Yanhun didn't care, Cui Ji smiled and shook his head: "By the way, Young Master Rong is also waiting for news in the mansion these days. If General Yi is free, you might as well meet him."

Hearing this, Yi Yan picked Meifeng but never opposed it. After all, before he came to the party, the lord had also ordered him to take good care of Liang Rong.

Seeing Yi Yan's default, Cui Ji also breathed a sigh of relief. Today, the civil and military around the lord, intentionally or unintentionally, lie in Liang Rong's close relationship, only Yiyan is a maverick, not paying much attention to the future "prince". You know that Yiyan also taught Liang Rong archery, so he can be regarded as a mentor to the industry! In any case, Cui Ji is Liang Rong's teacher, and he still hopes that he will have a good relationship with the closest confidant around the lord.

It just so happened that Liang Rong became interested in the battle of the Shangdang. If he could take the opportunity to give advice on his art of war, it would be more effective. Is there anyone who is more suitable than Yiyan, a man who has witnessed it?

It's just that even if Cui Ji was there to help, it was only two days after Yi Yan really saw Liang Rong.
