Chapter 474: Captured Again
As soon as Chen Jinlong and his men squatted down, Tuobal Company and a group of cavalrymen chased after him.
"Coming, coming!"
"Shh-"
They ambush a road that is perfect for cavalry, hehe.
This is a mountain stream road with mountain walls on both sides. The road on the ground is very wide.
Tuobalian and others happened to catch up here.
"Be careful there is an ambush on the mountain." Mountain stream road is one of the dangerous places.
But when they looked at it, they found that the top of the mountain was pointed and bare, making it impossible to hide people and there could be no ambush.
At this time, Mr. Qin Liu and his men had already run away, and only their silhouettes could be seen. Tuobalian realized that it would be too late if he didn't pursue him.
"Come here, let someone go this way first!" Tuoba Jin ordered.
Immediately a horse flew out, ran in the middle of the road, and galloped away.
Seeing that the explorer was okay, Tuobalian immediately ordered, "Pursue at full speed!"
The Xianbei cavalry led by Tuoba Company rushed into this section of the road, and then they were miserable.
Not long after, the wails of war horses echoed throughout the mountain stream.
"Fell into the trap, the Xianbei cavalry fell into the trap!"
In the mountain stream, the panicked sounds of the Xianbei cavalry could be heard.
"Ambush, there is an ambush!"
"What's on the road?"
"What hurt the horse's hoof?"
After the horses rushing in front were stabbed in the hoofs, their reactions varied. Some ran wildly, throwing away the Xianbei warriors on them, while others fell to their knees in pain and were stabbed all over. It's blood.
Some people shouted, "Stop, stop the people behind you!"
However, the cavalry moved forward at full speed, and the momentum was so great that they could not stop in a short distance, so the stampede happened again.
A cavalryman who was thrown off his horse grunted after being stabbed to the ground. He endured the pain and pushed the soil around him, and found a flat stone slab buried in the soil? There are crystal clear objects of different heights inserted on the stone slabs. I saw blood flowing on it, which was shocking to see.
This thing is sharper than caltrops! Horses' hooves or people can be stabbed at any angle.
The cavalryman reacted quickly and shouted to the cavalryman behind him, "Go to the middle, the middle road is fine!"
When the people on the mountain heard this, they thought, it is right to go in the middle this section, but it is not possible to go all the way in the middle. If you go further forward, there will be an ambush in the middle, and the two sides will be safe.
Just when Tuoba Company and other cavalrymen were in chaos, Qin Sheng led his troops back and killed the drowned dog.
Each of these people is very agile. In addition, they buried the glass cement board. They know where to stay on any stretch of road.
At this time, after Tuobalian was thrown off his mount, one of his arms and legs was stabbed. Tuobalian, who knew that he had been tricked, was angry and wanted to pretend to be dead, but when he saw the enemy troops coming all the way, he He didn't dare to pretend to be dead even if he stabbed the corpse one more time.
Looking at the Xianbei cavalry who had their necks wiped for being unable to resist, Tuobalian's heart bleeds. These are the best warriors among the Xianbei people. They will die in a foreign land before they can conquer the city for Xianbei. .
At this moment, a knife was placed across his neck. Zhu Dazhuang and Tuoba greeted each other, "Hi, seventh prince Tuoba, we meet again."
Even though he was captured, Tuobalian could not hide his arrogance. He only gave Zhu Dazhuang a look, "Who are you?"
Zhu Dazhuang tied him up with a rope, "Don't you remember my old friend? The last time you were captured in Houcheng, it was I, Old Zhu, who hung you up with thirty years of experience in killing pigs."
When Lu Dayou and others heard this, they said: "You are the one who kills people and kills your heart."
Under Zhu Dazhuang's reminder, Tuo Balian recalled what happened a year ago, and his face turned ugly.
After Zhu Dazhuang finished tying up, he nodded with satisfaction. His skills in tying pigs had not deteriorated at all over the years.
"It's a pity that Tuoba Jin didn't catch up." Otherwise, he could have tied up another one.
They had just finished dealing with all the cavalry on the road when the infantry arrived following them.
Seeing the tragic scene in front of him, the young Xianbei general leading the infantry looked at this scene in disbelief.
"Surrender, or I'll kill him!" Qin Sheng sat on the chair in front of him with a sword, and the head of the spear in his hand reached the vital part of Tuobalian's neck.
The foot soldiers looked at each other.
"Speak and ask them to surrender." Qin Sheng directly forced Tuobalian.
Tuobalian looked at the gun head that was an inch closer and shouted coldly, "Surrender, you surrender to me!"
The Xianbei young general dropped his weapon first, and the infantry followed suit.
Zhu Dazhuang, Chen Jinlong and others led the people forward to kidnap the person.
After everyone was tied up, they came to deal with the dead or injured horses.
They first rescued the injured war horse to the other end of the road.
While Zhu Dazhuang was treating the horses, he muttered to himself, "These horses are all innocent. We can save them if we can." As for the dead horses, there was no other option but to drag them back and kill them for meat.
Chen Jinlong defended him, "Then you still put glass shards in the trap before? It hurt the horses."
Zhu Dazhuang rolled his eyes, "Nonsense, can the enemy's horse be treated the same as my horse?"
The others suppressed their laughter and understood. These horses were enemy horses before, but now that they were captured, they became our horses, so he felt distressed.
Liaoxi County, Governor's Mansion
Gu Zhang, led by Lu Mingzhi, met Lu Songli.
As soon as they met, Gu Zhang said, "It's really not easy to meet you."
Lu Songli smiled and said, "Uncle Gu, please sit down. It's quite easy to see me. It's not as exaggerated as you said."
Gu Zhang is Zhan Ruoshui's senior brother, Lu Mingzhi calls him uncle, and Lu Songli calls him the same name.
Gu Zhang sighed. It was the wrong time. His junior brother had gone back to his hometown to visit his relatives. He didn't know what he was dawdling about. He hadn't returned yet, so he couldn't find anyone to pass on the message.
"I wonder what Master Gu wants to talk to me about?"
Gu Zhang carefully took something out of his arms, opened it and carefully placed it on the table, "Madam Qin Liu, please have a look."
Huh? Lu Songli picked up a little with his fingers and put it under his nose to smell it. It smelled of sulfur and saltpeter.
"Master Gu, what is this?" In fact, Lu Songli already had the answer in his heart.
Gu Zhang smiled, "It's more difficult to explain it with words. Why don't I try the power of this thing, and Madam Qin Liu go out to see it?"
Lu Songli nodded in agreement.
They found a secluded place in the back garden. Lu Songli asked people to clear the area, and Gu Zhang began to experiment.
Gu Zhang buried a purse full of earth explosives in the ground, piled stones on it, and used straw smeared with pine oil as a primer. After he lit it, he quickly retreated.
There was a bang, and the rocks and soil were blown away.
Lv Mingzhi's eyes widened.
Gu Zhang was relieved to see that Lv Songli was not afraid of this thing.
Lv Songli felt that there was still room for improvement in its power.
She also told Gu Zhang what she meant, and asked him if he was willing to continue to study this thing in secret.
Gu Zhang heard her ask this, and obviously knew the purpose of this thing, so he was willing.
So, Lv Songli called Xiao Kun to assist Gu Zhang in his research and daily life.
After the two left, Lv Songli told Lv Mingzhi to keep it secret.
In the afternoon, the victory report reached the governor's mansion.
"Report! Sixth Master has captured Tuoba Lian, asking how to deal with him?"
Lv Songli quickly gave instructions. There is nothing to say about this, it must be to ask the two Xianbei armies attacking Pingzhou to cease fire.
So, when Tuoba Xun and Tuoba Jin were preparing to attack the city again, Tuoba Lian was taken to the tower of Houcheng again and hung up.
After the experienced Zhu Dazhuang hung the man, he saw him twisting uncomfortably and teased him, "Tsk tsk, is this the second time? Tuoba Seventh Prince, you haven't adapted yet?"
"Brother, what should we do?" Tuoba Jin asked.
After the seventh prince was captured, he realized that something was wrong and left Longcheng. He rushed to Houcheng overnight to meet up with his eldest brother Tuoba Xun.
Tuoba Xun was speechless. What could he do when his seventh brother was in someone else's hands? Believe it or not, if he continued to order the siege, his seventh brother would be immediately beheaded?
He didn't care about this result, but he was afraid that his father Khan would hold him accountable.
"Sound the horn to withdraw the troops!"
"Everything will be discussed after asking the father Khan!"
Wencheng County sent Tuoba Lian the jade card of the seventh prince. After seeing the jade card, the generals there also did not dare to act rashly.
So, the two battlefields of Houcheng and Wencheng County opened by the Xianbei were forced to cease fire.
Bingzhou Yanmen, Xianbei camp main tent
"Why Pingzhou has been under siege for so long?" Tuoba Khan looked at the map and asked, "Have you checked it out? How many troops are there in Pingzhou?"
The ministers replied, "Khan, the second prince has led his army to support the seventh prince. I believe there will be good news soon."
"Yes, wait for the two princes to capture Longcheng, and then send troops to support the eldest prince to capture Houcheng, and everything will be settled."
Just then, Tuoba Xun sent back a message through the eagle.
"Khan, it's bad, the second army was defeated, and the seventh prince was captured!"
"What?!"
