Liu Song Hanque

Chapter 222 Surrounding
Zhu Lingshi had been waiting in the rear for a long time. After seeing Tuoba Si's army rushing out, he immediately ordered his soldiers to disperse, hid on the left and right mountains, and used rocks as cover. After that, there was a dense rain of arrows trying to stop the Northern Wei The pace of the army.

Tuoba Si raised his head and glanced at Song Jun who was on a high place, but happened to meet Zhu Lingshi's eyes.

"General Song..."

What made Zhu Lingshi a little nervous was that Tuoba Si didn't see that kind of resentment in his eyes.

It was helplessness, plus a little bit of... envy?
Tuoba Si was indeed envious.

There are too few talents in the entire Northern Wei Dynasty.

Not to mention generals of Zhu Lingshi's level, Xi Jin was barely able to compete with Zhu Lingshi in the entire Northern Wei Dynasty.

But Liu Song actually had three, or even four or five!
The civil service is even worse. Although Cui Hao is strong, Xu Xianzhi and Xie Hui under Liu Yu are also great talents.

There are also elites cultivated by countless aristocratic families, who can crush the Northern Wei Dynasty both in quantity and quality.

In fact, there are also many talents in the north.

But most of them are Han Chinese.

It is already a miracle for Cui Hao to occupy a seat in the power center of the Northern Wei Dynasty by virtue of his talents in the world. If there are more Han people living in the center of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the nobles of the Xianbei family are likely to jump.

In the past, Tuoba Si was always scrupulous about this and did not dare to use the Han people wantonly.He has always taken a defensive attitude towards the Han people in the north.

But now it seems.

Not relying on the power of the Han people is a dead end!
Tuoba Si has already firmly believed in it.

If there is a future after this war, even if it will cause turmoil in the Xianbei nobles, he will also introduce the power of the Han people into the court.

Those who can deal with the Han people will always be the Han people.

It's just that right now we still have to escape from Pingyang and enter Shangdang County.

The reason for entering Shangdang County is because of the special geographical location of Shangdang County.

Shangdang County is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and its overall structure is like a character "工".

The vertical line in the middle is the main body of Shangdang County, a small plain where the eldest son of Shangdang County is located.

And the four small horizontal lines extending out are the passages into Shangdang County.

To the northeast is She County, which connects to Wei County in the hinterland of Hebei.

To the southeast is Huai County, which connects to Hanoi County in Hebei.

To the southwest is Zhixian County, from here you can reach the eight passes of Luoyang.

To the northwest is Jiexiu, which connects to Hedong.

This is also the place where Tuoba Si wants to break through.

As long as you go to Shangdang County, you can at least integrate the soldiers and horses of Hebei and Shangdang, so that the Northern Wei Dynasty may still have the possibility of fighting Liu Yu.

If Tuoba Si ran back to Jinyang in the north in a hurry, he would hand over Shangdang County to others.

The geographical importance of Shangdang County is so important. Once it is given up, the Song army can defeat Shangdang County and the Northern Wei army in Hebei one by one, and then everything will stop.

So facing Zhu Lingshi's attack, Tuoba Si did not stop.

Even if you risk your life, you must escape from this battlefield!
Tuoba Si was lying on the horse's back, and the sharp arrow was flying above his head. Several times he even felt the sharp point of the arrow flying past his scalp with a cold light, and his body was already breaking out in cold sweat.

"Bring the bow!"

Seeing that Tuoba Si fled regardless, Zhu Lingshi asked the soldiers to take out their bows and arrows, and bent their bows and set arrows at Tuoba Si.

While holding his breath and concentrating, an arrow shot out from Zhu Lingshi's hand like a meteor chasing the moon with great momentum, and hit the top of Tuoba Si's head straight.

"Your Majesty! Dangerous!"

Just when the arrow was about to be shot into Tuoba Si's head, the soldiers surrounding Tuoba Si discovered the Hades card that was chasing after him from the darkness, and they dragged Tuoba Si His sleeve pulled him aside.

Tuoba Si swung his body and almost fell off his horse.

"call out!"

With the sound of the wind, the arrow slightly slashed across Tuoba Si's cheek, and a scarlet wound suddenly appeared on his face.

"His Majesty……"

"Come on!"

Tuoba Si didn't care about feeling the joy of escaping from death, he still kept his head buried and rushed forward, and soon led people out of the encirclement circle set up by Zhu Lingshi.

"pity……"

Zhu Lingshi put down the bow and arrow in his hand with some regret, and sat watching a big fish slip away from his hand.

"If you keep Tuoba Si here, the battle will be much easier."

Once Tuobasi died or was captured, the Northern Wei army in other places would be leaderless. How could they resist the elite Song army?

But for the current situation, Zhu Lingshi can only attribute it to metaphysics...

Maybe this kind of emperor naturally has luck in the dark?
But Zhu Lingshi didn't care either.

Hedong Tuoba Si can run.Can you still run when you arrive at Shangdang?
Even if the party ran away.Can Hebei still run?

Even if Hebei ran away, in the grassland...

Well, if Tuoba Si ran to the grassland, there is no need to chase him.

Seeing Tuobasi fleeing, Zhu Lingshi ignored him and asked his soldiers to continue to intercept the fleeing Northern Wei cavalry.

If you leave one more today, you will be able to fight one less tomorrow.

He, Zhu Lingshi, can still settle this account.

The war lasted until noon, and Liu Yucai, who broke through the camp from the front, came belatedly and joined Zhu Lingshi.

"Your Majesty, what was the result of the battle?"

Liu Yu was naturally in a good mood at this time.

"Of course it's a big victory!"

"Six thousand soldiers died in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and more than [-] surrendered!"

According to Liu Yu's estimate, the Northern Wei Daying was only about 5 people.

There are nearly [-] people in the hands of Song Jun alone!

And it is impossible for the remaining soldiers to leave with Tuoba Si. Every time there is a war, the number of soldiers who survive or die in battle are not the most.

But the missing soldiers.

At that time, the camp in the Northern Wei Dynasty was too chaotic, and there were too many soldiers fleeing in all directions.

Therefore, Liu Yu estimated that there are more than 1 cavalry around Tuobasi now, which is considered to be a bit of destiny for the opponent.

While the monarch and his ministers were discussing the situation of the battle, a scout rushed over from the rear.

"Your Majesty! A letter from General Wang Zhongde!"

Liu Yu took it and opened it, but smiled knowingly.

Zhu Lingshi stretched his neck: "Could it be that General Wang has good news?"

Liu Yu laughed loudly: "Indeed! Wang Zhongde designed to defeat the Northern Wei army in Zhi County! Now Tuobasi's biggest support is gone!"

"Go! Go back and rectify the soldiers and horses!"

"Rest for one night, and tomorrow we will catch up and block Tuobasi to death in Shangdang County, and don't give him a chance to gather the army!"

"I have sent Shen Linzi from Hongnong to Zhi County to support Wang Zhongde."

"In this way, the two ends of Shangdang County will be blocked! Even if Tuoba Si has the ability to fly into the sky, he will stay here for me!"

In fact, Tuoba Si is not without a way out.

He can also go east from She County to Hebei.

But if the Northern Wei Dynasty gave up Hedong and Shangdang one after another, the Song army would have the capital to go straight to Pingcheng, the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

At that time, Liu Yu will be able to sit firmly in Bingzhou, slowly trap the Northern Wei army in Hebei to death, and completely eliminate the hidden dangers of Xianbei.

"Tuoba Si, you can't escape this calamity!"
