One of them said in an emotionless tone: "Dead, all dead!"

Lu Xuanbo glanced at the man, "Killed by Rouran?"

"Ok!"

The remaining silent slave suddenly said, "We can't just wait to die like this!"

Lu Xuanbo immediately asked in a low voice: "What do you want? This camp is tall and strong, and heavily guarded. It is very difficult to escape!"

"If you can't escape, you have to escape. We have nearly 2 people. As long as everyone is united, it is impossible for them to stop all of us with less than 2000 guards here. If you can escape, you will count as one. Those on the road can only tell bad luck!"

Lu Xuanbo turned his head to look at the two Rouran cavalrymen behind him, and said to the three slaves in a low voice: "I think it's better to fight with the Rouran people than to find a way to escape! As you said, we have nearly 2 people , as there are less than 2000 guards here, as long as we are united enough, these [-] people can't stop us at all, as long as someone takes the lead, the others have already had enough of the Rouran people's oppression, and they will definitely follow when the time comes!"

"Do you have any idea?"

Lu Xuanbo said in a low voice: "There are people following behind, this is not a place to talk, we will discuss long-term plans when we return to the camp!"

······

Jinling Camp.

A young handsome Rouran walked into the big tent and reported to Princess Tuzhen who was watching: "Princess, the troops who went to raid Shanwu County have returned, and they are only ten miles away from here! This time they have not had time to defend Shanwu County. As soon as we reacted, we rushed into the city in one fell swoop, killed and scattered the defenders, and seized countless luggage. These luggage were loaded with [-] carts. Our troops were limited, so we captured many young men and let them serve as coachmen and coolies. Finally transported this batch of luggage back! But..."

Princess Tuzhen was overjoyed at first, but when she heard the turning point, she immediately asked, "But what?"

"Because we had too much baggage and our marching speed was too slow, we were chased by the pursuers sent by the state of Wei. The distance between the two armies was less than two hours. According to the investigation by the rangers after the breakup, there were a total of [-] Wei troops in pursuit. Yu cavalry, the leading general seems to be Xiao cavalry general Yan Pu of the Wei Guoxiao cavalry army!"

Princess Tuzhen stood up and frowned, and asked, "There are really more than ten thousand cavalry?"

"Only more or less!"

Princess Tuzhen thought for a moment, and immediately ordered: "Order the whole army to prepare for evacuation. Once the troops who raided Shanwu County return, they will immediately retreat to Tunzuo Mountain!"

"As ordered!"

An hour later, the Rouran cavalry who raided Shanwu County drove a large number of slaves and escorted the luggage back to the Jinling camp. Princess Tuzhen ordered them to retreat to Tunzuo Mountain together with the Rouran cavalry from the Jinling camp without waiting for them to rest. Fort, and left behind a bunch of ranger scouts.

Wei Jun on Jinling Mountain saw that the Rouran people had finally left, and they all breathed a sigh of relief. Although they were very aggrieved, they were able to guard Jinling and prevent the Rouran people from destroying the tombs of several former emperors. .

After Rouran's army withdrew, half an hour later, they sent out sentry posts to report that the people of Rouran had withdrawn ten miles away, and then the supervising army Gu Bi came down from the mountain with his troops.

Seeing the empty and messy Jinling camp, the supervising army Gu Bi was on the verge of crying, Yongchang Wang Tuobajian also kept a straight face and did not speak, while a group of generals and officials sat in the tent and sighed.

The fifth princess, Tuoba Yuling, went to arrange patrols and guard posts, and took over the defense of the Jinling Camp.

Not long after, the sentry post at wài wéi was arranged to report: "Report to the lord and the supervising army, General Yanpu of Xiaoqi has brought the army of Xiaoqi here!"

Tuoba Jian and Gu Bi were overjoyed when they heard the words, and immediately took the generals to wait outside the gate of the camp

, in fact, there is no need for the two of them with their identities, but now that the two of them are defeated generals, they really feel ashamed, and they don't care about their identities.

A large number of horseshoes sounded from a distance, and many black spots appeared at the end of the horizon, and the black spots quickly turned into cavalry one by one. As the cavalry team moved quickly, countless banners of the team fluttered.

When the army arrived at the gate of the camp, Yan Pu jumped off his horse and greeted Tuoba Jian and Gu Bi with clasped fists: "The last general pays his respects to the lord, servant!"

"The general is excused, the army is exhausted, let's go to the camp to rest!" Tuoba Jian raised his hand.

"Thank you, my lord, how long has it been since Rouran left?"

Gu Bi said: "One and a half hours!"

Yanpu immediately said: "The Rouran people carry a lot of luggage, and they must march at a speed of turtles. The general is confident that he will be able to catch up with them in an hour at most! Thank you for the kindness of the prince and the servants. The Xiaocai army will not enter the camp to rest. Now, please wait for the good news of the last general, the prince and the servants!"

Gu Bi wanted Yanpu to be more cautious, but the Xiaocai Army was not in the Jinling camp. If he persuaded Yanpu to stay, he would be suspected of preventing the other party from making meritorious deeds. The words were not spoken in the end.

Yanpu led more than [-] cavalrymen from the Xiaocai Army to chase the retreating Rouran army, leaving only Gu Bi and Tuoba Jian staring at each other outside the camp gate.

Twenty miles away from the northwest of Jinling Camp, Rouran's army was advancing slowly, with too much luggage, and they couldn't get up quickly.

A ranger desperately beat his horse to catch up and panted to report to Princess Tuzhen: "Princess Qi, Wei Guoxiao's cavalry has caught up, and the distance from our army's rear is less than ten miles away. At the latest, half an hour will be able to attack our army's rear." Launch an attack! The broken rangers have suffered heavy losses, and only villains are left!"

Princess Tuzhen looked at the southeast direction and sneered, took out a small scroll from her belt and handed it to handsome Rouran beside her, and nodded to him.

Rouran Xiaoshuai took the paper roll and put it into the small tube on the eagle's foot standing on his arm. He took a piece of meat for the eagle to eat, touched the bird feathers on its back, and said in a low voice: " go!"

With a lift of the arm, the eagle spread its wings and soared high, and soon disappeared into the sky.

Princess Tuzhen waved to a general Rouran, and the general Rouran rode his horse and stroked his chest and said, "What is the princess' order?"

"You take 2000 troops to guard the slaves and escort the luggage to Tunzuo Mountain. The rest of the troops are left for this princess. This princess is going to meet Wei's General Xiaoqi!"

"Leader!"

Chapter 328 Trap

The autumn wind is rustling and the dust is flying.

General Yan Pu of Xiaoqi led his Xiaoqi army to chase the Rouran army led by Princess Rouran Tuzhen, and the chasing cavalry team pulled out a team that was several miles long.

A fast horse galloped from the dirt road in the northwest, and the rider on the horse followed the horse's back. Yanpu, who was at the front of the team, raised his hand when he saw it, and stopped the horse. At this point, too, it slowed down and soon stopped advancing.

The knight pulled the reins in front of Yanpu and reported to Yanpu: "General Qi, one of Rouran's troops has stopped. It seems that they are going to stop our army from pursuing and want our army to fight. There are about [-] riders. And other people are guarding the luggage and continuing to move towards Tunzuo Mountain!"

After hearing the report, Yan Pu frowned, "Is the majority of the troops sent out just to stop our army from pursuing? Or maybe the other general wants to fight against the 500 elite cavalry with my [-] troops? He thinks too highly of himself!"

The detective reported: "General, we found out that the leader of this Rouran army is Princess Rouran Tuzhen!"

"Hey, this general really underestimates a woman who has such guts! Seeing that she is a woman, I will let her give way and let her troops rest for a while!" Yanpu said to After looking at it, he shouted loudly: "Order the whole army to continue advancing at a normal marching speed!"

The messenger immediately rode his horse and galloped to the rear by the side of the road, shouting as he galloped: "The general has an order, march at a normal speed!"

With the arrival of more than [-] troops from the Xiaocavalry Army, the momentum suddenly became tense, and the Rouran cavalrymen under Princess Tuzhen felt a lot of pressure in their hearts. Yu Jingqi.

Princess Tuzhen was sitting on the horseback, holding a long spear in her right hand and pulling the rein on the saddle with her left hand. She stretched out her hand to stroke the mane of the war horse to comfort the restless war horse. head.

The Xiao cavalry army set up a phalanx several miles away and slowly moved towards the army formation of the Rouran army. Yanpu is a battle-tested general with rich experience in battle. The opportunity to attack, although the army is still moving, but the army formation has been formed, it can be stopped to stand by, and can also accelerate the attack.

The warring parties in this period are far less concerned about war etiquette than those in the Spring and Autumn Period. This is also a manifestation of the declining world.During the Spring and Autumn Period, both warring parties were extremely observant of etiquette. This war etiquette was not just formal, but very principled.

First, don’t beheaded; second, don’t block dangerous passes, that is, don’t block the enemy’s troops in dangerous places; third, don’t seriously injure, that is, don’t injure the same person repeatedly; Do not attack before the formation; fifth, do not capture Ermao, that is, do not capture gray-haired people, and let them go home to retire; sixth, do not chase the north, that is, do not chase and defeat the enemy in the north. Is there any difference between chasing fifty steps and chasing one hundred steps?No!Because they all violate the principles of battlefield etiquette, there is also the saying that fifty steps laugh at one hundred steps.

All these battlefield etiquette principles and rules began to be gradually broken during the Warring States period. As time went by, more and more rules and principles were broken. There is no need to use the extreme situation.

Now that the two armies are facing each other squarely, according to the remaining battlefield etiquette, the two sides should at least send someone to say a few words on the scene. Princess Tuzhen did not attack when the Wei army was still marching, which makes Yanpu appreciate it very much, barbarian princess To have such a demeanor is worthy of respect in his opinion.

An army civil servant was sent by Yanpu as an envoy. The envoy trotted over on a horse and stopped not far away and shouted loudly: "The next official is Jia Ding, a civil servant under the command of General Wei Xiaoqi. The general of the army is negotiating, dare to ask, but the opposite is Her Royal Highness Princess Rouran Tuzhen?"

Tuzhen replied: "It is the princess, what advice does General Yanpu have?"
