The last three kingdoms

Chapter 1241

Yiwu Lushan has a long history. According to legend, Shun divided the world into twelve prefectures, and each prefecture sealed a mountain as a prefectural town, and Lushan was named the town of Youzhou in the north.In the Zhou Dynasty, Lushan was named one of the five mountains and five towns.

Yiwulu Mountain runs from north to south, majestic and precipitous, and is the dividing line between the Liaohe Plain and the Western Liaoning Mountains. To the east, Yiwulu Mountain is a vast and boundless Liaohe Plain, and to the west is the undulating mountains of Western Liaoning. Undoubtedly, this place has become the best place to stop the Xianbei cavalry. Ideal battlefield.

Liu Yin's troops were divided into three groups, and the troops he personally led in the east were to deal with the Tuoba Xianbei army that had entered Liaodong. However, Liu Yin did not follow them into Liaodong. There are more, and the certainty of winning is also greater.

The Han army's all-out attack has achieved a great victory in a very short period of time. In addition to conquering Shengle, the capital of the Tuoba people, the central army under the leadership of Jiang Bin also achieved brilliant results. After descending the Baishan Mountain, the passage between the central Xianbei and the eastern Xianbei was cut off and divided into two.

This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to Tuoba Xianbei. After the central Xianbei and the eastern Xianbei were separated, Tuoba Liwei, who occupied Dathorn City, became a lone army. Cutting off the channel between Tuoba Liwei and Tuoba Xilu, and forming a siege to the Great Thorn City, this undoubtedly made Tuoba Liwei's situation more and more difficult.

He has eaten more salt than other people’s meals, and has walked more bridges than others’ roads. Tuoba Liwei, who has lived over a hundred years old, has experienced ups and downs in his life. He has experienced all kinds of wind and waves. Facing the crisis of genocide, Tuoba Liwei has never been discouraged. He has turned the tide time and time again, brought back to life, and brought Tuoba tribe back to the peak throne of the grassland.

However, this time the crisis made Tuoba Liwei deeply depressed. Perhaps it was because of his old age and weakness. Tuoba Liwei felt powerless with the aggressive attack.

The only thing he can hope for now is that his second son Tuoba Xilu can return to the army to rescue him. Only by resuming the [-] army led by Tuoba Xilu under his command, there may be a chance of a comeback.

At this moment, Tuoba Xilu was also on his way back to western Liaoning day and night.

Although the Liaohe Plain is as flat as a mountain, it is a barren and bitterly cold place with few people and a low level of development. It is often difficult to find people within tens of miles. Tuoba Xilu still chose to cross some wastelands.

On this wasteland, there are wild weeds everywhere, growing wantonly, and trees and shrubs form forests. Tuoba Xilu wanted to take a shortcut, but he responded to the saying that haste makes waste, but instead After wasting several days, he was slightly relieved when he walked out of this wasteland and saw the towering Yiwulu Mountain.

After crossing Yiwulu Mountain and several mountain ranges in western Liaoning, you can reach Dathorn City. The people under his command were already exhausted from marching all the way, so they persuaded Tuoba Xilu to rest his horse before leaving.

Tuoba Xilu didn't know what his father's situation was like, and he was eager to return home, so he naturally didn't want to delay, seeing that the sun above his head had just set to the west, so he ordered to cross Yiwulu Mountain first and then camp for rest.

The army had no choice but to obey Tuoba Xilu's order and pass through the valley.

Some subordinates reminded Tuoba Xilu: "Second prince, the mountain here is dangerous, maybe the Han people will set up an ambush, we have to investigate."

Tuoba Xilu was right to think about it, marching to defeat those who did not send scouts to scout, it would be bad if they were ambushed by the enemy, so Tuoba Xilu sent out scouts to check around .

But Yiwulu Mountain has high mountains and dense forests, and the mountain roads are winding. If you want to check the whole mountain, it will take at least a few days. To investigate, I only sent people to check a few hills hastily. Seeing that there was no movement, they were relieved, and ordered their horses to move forward at full speed, and rushed past Yiwulu Mountain as soon as possible.

The Xianbei army advanced along the valley. At the beginning, the valley was wide and the road was fairly flat, but the further they went in, the terrain became higher and higher, and the valley became narrower and narrower. Naturally, the road became narrow and bumpy. The steep road section can only accommodate one person and one rider.

The speed of the whole team naturally dropped. The Xianbei people were already exhausted after several days of marching. If you can't get off the horse, even the Xianbei people who are naturally accustomed to riding horses can't stand it.

Besides, even if people can bear it, horses can't bear it either. After traveling on this mountain road, the horses are so tired that they are panting, and their hooves can't move.

Tuoba Xilu was so worried that he swung his whip and desperately urged the horse to move forward.

At this moment, shouts were heard suddenly from the mountains on both sides. Tuoba Xilu was startled, and when he raised his head, countless people and horses poured out all over the mountains and plains. Looking at the banner, it was clearly the Han army. banner.

"Not good!" Tuoba Xilu yelled secretly. What the cavalry feared most was this kind of mountain ambush. If it was in the Pingchuan area, Tuoba Xilu would have no fear at all. As long as the cavalry launched an attack, no matter how big or tight The encirclement circle can poke a hole for him, but under this kind of terrain, the cavalry's advantage cannot be brought into play at all. Once surrounded, it will be in a desperate situation.

"Retreat! Quickly retreat!" Tuoba Xilu turned his horse's head and ordered loudly, now his mind was no longer on how to get over Yiwulu Mountain, but how to escape with his life.

The [-] troops of the Xianbei people are crowded on this narrow valley road, and it is not easy to turn back at this moment. Although the order has been issued, the Xianbei cavalry is still crowded into a group, and it is even more chaotic. .

At this moment, at the position of the mouth of the valley, there was a deafening rumbling sound. Countless rocks rolled down from the top of the mountain. The Xianbei people's way back was sealed tightly and completely cut off.

Now Tuoba Xilu was completely dumbfounded. It turned out that the Han army had already set up an ambush here, and he was waiting for him to sneak in. He accidentally fell into the ambush of the Han army. Seeing enemies on all sides, Xianbei Man is in a desperate situation.
