Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 514
The north faced some resistance, as did the west.

Several invasions caused the Zahu in Henan to tightly unite around the Tiefu tribe, which objectively contributed to their growth.

However, in the face of the coalition attack by Liang Jun and Murong Chui, Tiefu's tribe was still not satisfied.

After three consecutive defeats, they lost six to seven thousand cavalry, twenty to thirty thousand young men, and tens of thousands of livestock.

If the fight continues, Tiefu's old base will be exhausted.

Since we can't beat him, we can only run north into the river to avoid its front temporarily.

"Liu Kuantou is trying to muddy the waters and bring Dai Guo in." Murong Ling instantly understood the enemy's intention, "What do you think, Brother Ye Wang?"

"Soldiers are crafty, attacking unprepared and unexpected people. Although Tuoba Shi Yijian is related to His Majesty by marriage, he is capricious. Hetao is the hometown of horse breeding in Qin and Han Dynasties. It lies across Guanzhong. If it is owned by Daliang, it can be used in the future. To control Di Qin." Huan Yi took out a bamboo slipper and played with it repeatedly.

Say the cruelest words in the calmest tone.

This is obviously going to destroy the Dai country...

Murong Ling was stunned. He didn't expect that Huan Yi's ideas were so wild. Even he couldn't keep up with the rhythm. He was worthy of being the number one in military strategy. "This is a big matter. I'm afraid it's not something you and I can decide..."

Huan Yi put the Hu Jia on his lips and said, "The general is outside and military orders are not subject to any restrictions. As long as it is beneficial to Daliang, you can rest assured."

The shape of the Hujia is almost the same as that of the flute. The sound of the flute is crisp and melodious, while the sound of the Jia is soft and deep.

Huan Yi got started very quickly. After trying out the tone, he played a piece of Hujia in eighteen beats.

The rich voice seemed to penetrate the cold wind, filling the surroundings with a touch of sadness.

Murong Ling listened quietly to the side, and waited until he finished playing before speaking, "However, we only have five thousand soldiers, and there are hundreds of thousands of Xianbei barbarians in the clouds. I am afraid that we are not able to catch up."

Huan Yi smiled lightly and said, "Taiyuan."

Murong Ling's father, Murong Chui, had [-] elite troops in Taiyuan. Wouldn't it be an opportunity for him to take action and capture Yunzhong?

Everything had been planned by Huan Yi for a long time. Murong Ling felt like he was being pushed away, and he felt great awe towards the elegant peers in front of him. Chinese characters were indeed extraordinary.

"Tuoba Shi Yijian would never have thought that our army would dare to go directly north to attack Yunzhong. Our troops are very fast. Although our army only has more than [-] soldiers, our elite army is several times stronger. We only need Governor Murong to provide support from behind."

Huan Yi put down the bamboo flute, picked up the flute, and started playing in the cold wind.

The sound of the flute seems to come alive, ethereal and graceful, sweeping away the sadness caused by Hujia.

Murong Ling now knew why Huan Yi was ranked above him and was so valued by the emperor.

"Since Brother Yewang has such an elegant intention, how can he not obey the order?" After all, Murong Ling was Murong Chui's son and inherited some of his majestic spirit.

The two looked at each other and smiled on the horse.

One person is full of heroism, the other is as elegant as jade, and the horses are facing north, like two jade stones...

In the clouds, Shengle City.

The defeat report that had just been reported from the east grassland made Tuoba Shi Yijian furious, "The six thousand cavalry are just gone? Even six thousand pigs can withstand six thousand days, right?"

As soon as he heard that there were no well-known generals in the Liang army going north, Tuoba Shi Yijian did not hesitate to give Liang a look and let them know who was the "overlord" of the grassland!
In the end, six thousand cavalry were chased by Liang Jun for more than 300 miles in one day. The entire army was wiped out and only two or three hundred people escaped...

This news undoubtedly distressed him.

What the grassland forces are most proud of is the cavalry. Liang Guo's infantry is the best in the world. When did the cavalry become so powerful?

"Your Majesty, it's not that we are incompetent, but that Liang Jun... the cavalry cast a magic spell and attacked for a long distance, but our best horses couldn't outrun..." Tuoba Wulu said, his face covered in blood.

Until now, his head was still buzzing, and the shadow lingered.

The two armies rushed to kill each other. Liang Jun was well-equipped and had armored cavalry. Tuoba Wulu was at a disadvantage in the battle. He used his tradition and turned around and ran away, preparing to defeat Liang Jun.

But he didn't expect that Liang Jun wouldn't let go, and his followers were eaten one by one.Especially the red-faced black cloud general, as many as 30 people died under his long arm.

Tuoba Wulu almost couldn't come back.

"Fart! How can there be any magic? They are riding horses, and you are riding pigs?" Tuoba Shiyijian became more and more angry as he spoke.

If Tuoba Wulu hadn't been his clan brother, he would have been cut to pieces long ago.

"Your Highness, calm down. Liang State has two major ironworks, Shanyang and Xingyang. Maybe they have made some changes to the war horses, but we don't know about it." Yanfeng was more delicate.

Although Hetao horses are not as handsome as Liangzhou horses or as sturdy as Youzhou horses, they have one major advantage: strong endurance and large numbers.

Being able to march long distances for several days, as long as the horse's hoofs are not cracked, a handful of salt and a few mouthfuls of millet and beans can restore physical strength.

There is nothing wrong with Tuoba Wulu's strategy. The Xianbei people used to fight like this. When Murong Jun attacked Dai, Tuoba Shi Yijian also turned around and ran away. Murong Jun did not dare to pursue.

"That's all, I'll just write a memorial to plead guilty to Liang Guo." Tuoba Shi Yijian said helplessly.

Liang Jun's attack on the grassland was not fruitless for Daiguo. Many Gaoche, Rouran, and Tiefu tribes moved to Yunzhong to escape the chaos. Now that they have arrived, Tuoba Shiyijian is not ready to let them go back.

However, things are unpredictable. Just when I was comforting myself, a scout reported outside the hall: "On behalf of the king, a Liang cavalry force is coming from the south to kill in the clouds!"

Everyone in the hall was stunned.

Although there were constant disputes in the Liang Dynasty, at least there was no quarrel. Liang Jun came to kill with such fanfare?

"How many enemy troops are there?" Yanfeng realized that the situation was not good.

"Five thousand riders."

"Five thousand riders dare to provoke me. Liang Guo has insulted me too much." Tuoba Shi Yijian didn't take it to heart.

But the scout's next words cast a dark cloud over the hall, "Murong Chui gathered [-] cavalry and headed north to Yanmen!"

The entrance to Yanmen County is Yunzhong.

Five thousand Liang cavalry may not be a threat to them, but Murong Chui's 2 horses are different.

Today, among the people that Tuoba Shi Yijian fears the most, Murong Chui ranks first.

With Li Yue, he could still make strong arguments and act petty, but with Murong Chui, he had no temper at all.

Li Yue just wanted him to bow his head and be his younger brother, but Murong Chui wanted his life...

"Hiss..." Tuoba Shi Yijian gasped and looked at Yanfeng involuntarily.

Yanfeng cupped his hands and said: "Dai is sandwiched between Liang and Qin. The people are few and the power is weak. It must rely on one of them to survive."

Although Dai Guo occupies the land of Hetao, it has always been nomadic and is not good at defending the city, let alone fighting head-on with Liang Jun.

"Are we going to surrender to Qin?" Tuoba Shi Yijian paced back and forth anxiously.

One has two.

Even if Murong Chui is blocked this time, the next time 10,000+ Liang troops attack, it will be difficult to resist based on Dai Guo's strength.

Yan Feng said: "You must not surrender to Qin. Once you surrender to Qin, you will fall to the Liang Kingdom, and the Dai Kingdom will be destroyed soon. In my opinion, the Liang army in the east did not attack Yunzhong together. Murong Chui should have killed Murong Chui early." If you have the intention of destroying me, it is better to retreat to Mobei temporarily and ask Emperor Liang to administer justice. Firstly, you will not lose face, and secondly, you will preserve your strength."

This was not the first time that Tuoba Shi Yijian ran away with his tail between his legs. He was originally a nomadic person and could come and leave at any time.

With Murong Chui here, there is not much chance of winning. Even if they win, both sides will lose, and it will be an advantage to Qin or Liang.

Tuoba Shi Yijian glanced sideways at Tuoba Wulu, whose face was stained with blood and looked like a drowned dog. The defeat in the east had already dampened his spirit, "Send the order to temporarily retreat to Madam Fan's City for the winter."
