Chapter 118 Evacuation
"Not Zhang Ji? Then who will attack Gaoping City?"

Lin Tao really couldn't imagine that besides Zhang Ji, who else would attack Gaoping City.

"Hexi Xianbei!" Zhang Liang said four words one by one!

Hexi Xianbei is a branch of Tuoba Xianbei, and it has the same origin as Xianbei in Bingzhou.

The Xianbei in Bingzhou had been wiped out by Lin Tao and Xia Meng, while the Hexi Xianbei north of Liangzhou still had millions of people.

Hexi Xianbei is also called Bald-haired Xianbei, and its leader is named Bald-haired Pigu, who is not weaker than Murong Xianbei who invaded Bingzhou at the beginning.

"Why did they suddenly attack Gaoping City?" Lin Tao was puzzled.

"It might be because of Dong Zhuo!" Jia Xu said in a deep voice.

"Thief inside and outside?" Zhang Liang looked at Jia Xu.

"Dong Zhuo's power in Liangzhou is mainly due to the support of Xianbei and Qianghu. Seeing that Gaoping City is occupied by the lord this time, then the Dong thief must have secretly communicated with Xianbei to give Anding County to Hexi Xianbei first. !” Jia Xu said.

Hexi Xianbei is located in the north of Liangzhou and west of the Yellow River, occupying the Hexi Corridor and containing the four counties of Liangzhou. It is one of the external threats to Liangzhou.

"This time, Hexi Xianbei dispatched a full 80 troops to attack Gaoping City. In Gaoping City, there are only General Yang and General Ran, who lead less than [-] defenders. They are definitely invincible!" Zhang Liang said worriedly.

"Let the scolding Yan soldiers send orders to Yang Youji and Ran Min, and prepare to abandon Gaoping City!"

"Li Cunxiao, Li Yuanba, lead the tiger and leopard cavalry, and the Xuanjia iron cavalry, ready to take over the general and others!"

Lin Tao said decisively.

Those who seek the overall situation should not care about the gains and losses of a city or a pool, otherwise they will inevitably lose big because of small things.

Lin Tao's westward expedition this time only has 35 troops, so the number of deaths will be less, and unnecessary battle losses must be controlled.

"By the way, let people spread the word about Zhang Ji's setback in Fuping City!" Lin Tao thought suddenly.

"My lord, those Xianbei are extremely cruel. If Gaoping City is abandoned, the people in the city..." Jia Xu frowned slightly.

It is said that Jia Xu is a poisoner, and that cholera in Chang'an was his plan at the beginning, but it was only after his unforgettable experience in Liangzhou that he changed.

But now Jia Xu, although kidnapped by Qiang Hu, met Lin Tao at a critical moment and was rescued by Lin Tao, so he has not become a complete egoist.

"Well, ask Yang Youji to escort the people in the city out, and try our best to protect the people from harm!" Lin Tao said in a deep voice.

Now that you have set up a benevolent and righteous persona for yourself, you must do your best to maintain it. If the persona collapses now, it will take a lot of energy to restore it in the future!
"My lord, the general wishes to go together!" Ma Chao stepped forward and said with a bow.

"This time it is just to support the general and others. There is no need to fight, and there is no need to use Liangzhou iron cavalry for the time being!" Lin Tao shook his head.

Because of the existence of Yanyan soldiers, the news spread quickly, and Yang Youji was ready to launch a breakout as soon as he received the news.

As long as the army rushes out, Yang Youji is [-]% sure, but now that he has to escort a city of people, the difficulty has increased exponentially.

When the people in the city heard that they were going to abandon the city and prepare to break out of the siege, those who were willing to go with the army could be escorted by the army, and they all came with the old and young, women and children.

After all, if Xianbei enters the city, nine times out of ten it will be looted first, and the city is more likely to be massacred.

In previous battles, Yang Youji's army lost nearly [-] soldiers, but now, including Ran Min's begging army, there are only [-] soldiers, and the entire Gaoping City has nearly [-] people!

Moreover, escorting these people will also minimize the speed of the army.

Right now, it seems that there are all kinds of harm and no benefit, but it can lay a good foundation for future momentum.

"I will open the city gate later. I will lead [-] Yuejia soldiers as the vanguard, tear open a hole, and [-] Yuejia soldiers will escort the people in the city. As for the cover behind..." Yang Youji looked at Ran Min with some hesitation.

The team that covers the retreat is the last team to leave, and its risk is several times greater than that of the vanguard.

But there are only so many soldiers and horses in the city, so it can only be arranged in this way at the moment.

"Don't worry, I'm the best at killing those bearded bastards!" Ran Min said nonchalantly.

"General Ran, take care!" Yang Youji said, clasping his fists.

"Well, see you in Fuping City!" Ran Min responded with cupped fists.

Yang Youji didn't delay any longer, and immediately prepared his army, opened the east gate, and rushed out.

Although they are infantry, all of them carry knives and bows. The first [-] are responsible for close combat, while the last [-] use bows and arrows to suppress them with long-range firepower.

Within a stick of incense, the Xianbei army was torn open.

Tuoba Chengzhou, the general of Hexi Xianbei, the leader of the attack on Gaoping City this time, he thought that with such a large army, the opponent could only stick to it and would not rush out.

And when he was in the large tent of the Chinese army in the rear, when he received the support from the base and led the soldiers to rush out, the people in the city had already left Gaoping City.

In addition, because there was no defense by the defenders, the other three gates of Gaoping City were directly breached, and Ran Min led [-] beggars to follow behind the civilian team.

Tuoba Chengzhou was furious when he learned that the defenders and civilians of Gaoping City had broken out, and immediately led an army of 20 to pursue them.

In the case of almost the same strength, the cavalry can almost crush the infantry.

Although the hills and valleys in Anding County are criss-crossed and the mountains are relatively undulating, the Xianbei cavalry has long been used to it.

A mighty 20 cavalrymen charged towards Ran Min aggressively.

"Get out!" Ran Min shouted.

Facing the impact of the cavalry, gathering together to defend will obviously cause more damage.

The begging army scattered in all directions, seemingly chaotic, but in fact they were in an orderly manner.

The impact of the cavalry did not cause a huge attrition of the begging army.

At this time, the begging army was different from usual, bent over, stooped, and none of them straightened up.

When the opponent's cavalry rushed over, bursts of cold light flickered continuously, and the long knives in the hands of the beggars were like sickles being harvested.

They don't attack the cavalry on horseback, but chop off the hooves of the horses.

If the horse's hoof is cut off, the Xianbei soldiers on it will be led down. Even if they don't die, they will almost lose their combat effectiveness.

In one round of fighting, the Qihuo army only lost 3000 people, while the Xianbei army lost more than [-] people.

Seeing this, Tuoba Chengzhou was furious, his eyes opened angrily, the eyeballs almost popped out, and he stared at Ran Min who was like a god of death.

Ran Min felt something strange, looked away and saw Tuoba Chengzhou who was watching him from afar.

"What are you looking at!" Ran Min spat, and looked at Tuoba Chengzhou provocatively.

The dignified Hexi Xianbei general, who commanded the 80 troops under his command, was so provoked that Tuoba Chengzhou could no longer suppress the anger in his heart.

"Arrogant Han, I'll let you see it today, I'm Tuoba Chengzhou!" Tuoba Chengzhou shouted loudly.

"Dogs that can bark don't bite!" Ran Min snorted coldly, holding a hook, halberd and double-edged spear, and went up to him.
