Chapter 679: Reinforcements Not Yet Arrived
There is a dangerous road in the first half of the official road from Jiumen County to Houyi County near Jiumen County. As soon as the cavalry sent by Dugu Zhong to report the news passed by, many people emerged from the dense forests on both sides.
"Sixth Master, shall we set up an ambush in this section?" Zhu Dazhuang asked.
Qin Sheng nodded, "Yes."
After receiving the order, Zhu Dazhuang, Chen Jinlong and others began to work.
The people behind came up with tools and things.
"Hurry up, start working! One by one, work faster!"
When they learned that Tuoba Xun died in Jiumen County, Qin Sheng, Chen Jinlong and others agreed that this matter was not over.
There is no father who does not want to avenge his son, and Tuoba Khan is the same. No matter how rational a person is, it is difficult to bear the pain of losing a son, and the one who died is still the eldest son.
Therefore, the Xianbei will definitely increase troops to Jiumen County!
Houyi County
Tuoba Khan staggered when he learned that his eldest son Tuoba Xun had died and 20,000 Xianbei soldiers had been annihilated.
Tuoba Xun was his eldest son, and his status was different from other sons. Now, his eldest son was dead? So unexpected and so sudden!
"Fight, fight for me! Let Dugu Zhong destroy the Sun family army in Jiumen County for me!" The pain of losing his son made Tuoba Khan furious.
"In addition--" Tuoba Khan looked around at the people below. He was thinking about who to let lead the troops to Jiumen County. This time, he would not be able to get rid of the hatred in his heart unless he crushed Sun Ming and Yang Yingqin and others to ashes!
"Father Khan, let me go, I will go to avenge my eldest brother!" Tuoba Yu took the initiative to ask for his performance.
The death of his eldest brother made him sad and shocked. After the initial sadness and surprise, his heart was extremely hot at this moment.
The eldest brother Tuoba Xun died, and the second brother Tuoba Jin was unable to lead troops to fight due to physical reasons. As the third son, wouldn't his chances of inheriting his father's position be greatly increased?
He knew very well that this was the time for him to show his ability. Moreover, in order to destroy the Sun family army and the Dali army in Jiumen County, his father would definitely send a large number of troops there. In other words, this battle was not very dangerous.
"Good! Third brother, you are really loyal and righteous!" Tuoba Khan immediately ordered Tuoba Yu to lead 80,000 troops to Jiumen County.
In this way, the Xianbei army in Jiumen County reached 110,000.
"Yes! I will obey the order!"
Tuoba Khan asked him to lead 40,000 cavalry to set off immediately, and the 40,000 troops behind him would set off after the assembly was completed.
Just as Tuoba Yu led 40,000 troops to set off, halfway, the Jintai army was also stepping up to set up an ambush.
"Is it ready?" Chen Jinlong urged.
"It's all done soon." Zhu Dazhuang replied.
After the last part was done, everyone began to evacuate in an orderly manner, and then ambushed what needed to be ambushed and prepared what needed to be prepared.
"It's a bargain for them, otherwise the second section would have been filled with explosives, sending them to the sky."
In order to trap more Xianbei barbarians, they resisted the urge to attack when Dugu Zhong led 30,000 troops past just now. Just to catch the second wave!
Because this road was previously taken by Dugu Zhong and his troops, and there was no ambush at all, and it was not long ago, Tuoba Yu thought that this section of the road was safe and led the army to advance at full speed.
Then, they were ambushed.
In the first section of the road, there were cement slabs with iron nails and glass inserted upside down buried under the soil. When the horses stepped on them, their hooves were injured.
The horses were frightened and their neighs resounded through the clouds.
The Xianbei cavalry who had experienced this were all confused. Pingzhou used this trick again?
Jintai Army: The tricks don't have to be old, as long as they are useful.
"Third Prince, there must be an ambush ahead!"
Zhu Dazhuang: You are right, there are indeed ambushes and other ambushes ahead.
"Everyone spread out to the sides!"
Chen Jinlong: There are also ambushes on both sides.
The 40,000 Xianbei cavalrymen who were originally well-organized were in chaos because of the ambush on this road.
From the moment the horses were startled and neighed, Qin Sheng and others who were one kilometer away began to urge their horses to sprint.
The Jintai Army Cavalry Battalion was divided into a squad of ten people and a squadron of one hundred people, and began to fight with the scattered Xianbei cavalry in the wild.
The ambush of the Jintai Army directly caused the 40,000 Xianbei cavalry reinforcements to be defeated and unable to support Dugu Zhong in Jiumen County.
Jiumen County
The Sun family army was preparing for the battle to defend the city, and various defense materials began to be moved to the city tower.
They made a lot of noise, working under the soldiers of the Xianbei and Dali armies, and they were blatant and unconcealed.
During this period, Guo Chong also appeared and asked Yang Yingqin to lead his troops into the city for a temporary rest.
Yang Yingqin coldly rejected him. Will this man ever stop? !
Gu Duzhong watched coldly, estimated the time, and thought that reinforcements would arrive soon, so he ordered an attack. The first to attack was of course Yang Yingqin's Dali Army. After all, if the Sun family army is attacked, it is much more difficult than attacking the Dali army in the wild, and Yang Yingqin will definitely take the opportunity to run away.
He first cleaned up the Dali army, and when the reinforcements arrived, they launched a general attack on the Sun family army.
The Sun family army sat on the Diaoyutai at this time, watching the Xianbei army and the Dali army fighting.
Time passed bit by bit, and the Xianbei army and the Dali army fought very fiercely, which can be said to be a loss on both sides.
Although the Dali army was defeated by the Xianbei army, it was also risked to survive.
At this time, the reinforcements of Dali arrived.
The reinforcements Dugu Zhong was expecting had not yet arrived, and Dugu Zhong's heart sank little by little.
Looking at the reinforcements from Dali that were about to arrive at the battlefield, Dugu Zhong gritted his teeth and ordered a retreat.
Dugu Zhong ran away with the remaining troops. Although Yang Yingqin received reinforcements, he did not order a pursuit. He understood the principle of not pursuing a desperate enemy. Besides, there were still Sun's army waiting for him. What would happen if they wiped out Dugu Zhong's remaining troops?
"General Yang, what should we do next?" the general asked.
Guo Chong appeared at this time, "General Yang is brave and actually drove away the Xianbei army led by Dugu Zhong. It seems that the army of Dali is not that bad."
Yang Yingqin looked at the Sun's army in front of him, his face changing.
"General Yang, do you want to compete with our Sun's army?"
"We retreat!" After giving the order, Yang Yingqin slowly exhaled.
He knew that Dugu Zhong had called for reinforcements, but the Xianbei reinforcements had not arrived. Obviously, something went wrong. The biggest possibility was that they were intercepted.
After speculating this, Yang Yingqin decided to withdraw, so as not to be surrounded by Pingzhou when attacking Zhiling.
