The next day, the three armies slowly withdrew along the Baishi Road.

But at the Baishi road fork, when facing the east and northeast directions, it stopped.

Xin Zhao pointed to the road in the northeast direction, "This road is spacious and flat, suitable for helping spirits. Why not take General Gao and General Lin? Let's go in this direction."

He is quite sensible,? This road is smooth, but it is unobstructed on all sides. Once a battle starts, it will be a head-on confrontation. There is no advantage or disadvantage. The outcome is basically based on the strength of the troops.

Not only that, he also deliberately threw the emperor's coffin to them,? This is what attracted Bei Yan's attention the most.

Although the emperor is dead,? But the body is not useless. If Beiyan uses this to blackmail the group of corrupt Confucian officials in the court who have no power to restrain chickens, it is not impossible.

Therefore, Xin Zhao deliberately used the emperor as bait at this time, wanting to use Beiyan's knife to kill Gao Shenxian and Lin Yanzhi's tribe.

But they didn't know that this move was just right for Gao Shenxian and the others.

Lin Yan didn't look at him well and didn't say a word.

Gao Shenxian pretended to think for a moment, pretending to say: "Although this road is flat, but it is a little detour, what if the northern swallows strike, wouldn't it be?"

Xin Zhao waved his hand, and said disapprovingly, "What are you afraid of? If Beiyan attacks, the general just lights up the beacon, and I will come to rescue naturally."

Gao Chenxian nodded, as if he was relieved.

"Alright. Then we'll use the beacon smoke as a signal."

After the negotiation, the troops were divided into two groups, and the two teams meandered forward.

Neither side noticed that on the hill not far away, a hidden team was lurking among them. The leader was a man with eyes like eagles and wolves, and his eyes were full of brilliance.

"Your Majesty, the coffin is going in the northeast direction, and there seem to be fewer soldiers and horses here. There is no shelter around them, and it is difficult for them to avoid it. The general believes that the chance of winning is the best in chasing and killing this way."

King Beiyan looked at it for a long time before saying coldly: "What do you know? Although the dog emperor's body is useful, if it can't enter the Central Plains, it's just a skeleton, and it still takes up space. It's useless?"

"..."

The subordinate was obviously not reconciled, and continued: "Even if you don't want the body of the dog emperor, if you go after this road, once the battle starts, it will help us take advantage of our cavalry."

The two were condescending, and they were above the fork in the road, so they could see the surrounding terrain clearly.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the terrain in the northeast is more open and flat.

But King Beiyan hesitated.

"Their prime minister is full of tricks. It is impossible not to expect this situation. Attacking from here, I am afraid of his ways."

The subordinate was stunned for a moment, then said speechlessly: "Your Majesty, didn't you already know that he was driven away by their own people? He has already resigned, what else can he do?"

"It's hard to say, how do you know if he's just acting?" King Beiyan always felt that that slender man, like a poisonous needle hidden under his crooked surface, would kill him with a sudden blow.

It can be said that he was bitten by a snake once and was afraid of grass ropes for ten years.

subordinate:"……"

"There must be something wrong with them internally! Otherwise, how could it be possible to divide the troops into two groups? Scattering of troops is a taboo for military strategists. We just need to concentrate our forces to defeat them one by one, and attack the weakest places first."

King Beiyan frowned and pondered, but did not make a decision for a long time.

He also knows that for soldiers, the false ones are real, the real ones are false, and between the false and the real, as long as they grasp their true purpose, they will not waver.

He was certain that their goal was to withdraw their troops, since their supplies were running low.

But it is impossible to judge which route of soldiers and horses is the weakest.

"Your Majesty, don't hesitate, give the order."

King Beiyan was silent for a long while, and then sighed slowly. He always felt that he was old, a hero in his twilight years, and judgments were always the most prone to mistakes.

So he planned to obey his subordinates, "Okay, hunt down tonight...to the northeast."

"Yes!"

After nightfall, it became more and more gloomy and cold, and the north wind whizzed through the mountain roads like ghosts, which made people get goose bumps for no reason.

Seeing that Lin Yan was feeding his horse with water, Gao Shenxian walked over without joining the generals.

He looked around and asked in a low voice: "I saw you coming out of the dragon tent just now, has the emperor rested?"

Lin Yan didn't know why, so he asked suspiciously: "I didn't see anyone, didn't I go to discuss something with you?"

Gao Shenxian: "..."

The air froze for a moment, and then the two looked at each other, and the next moment, they ran towards the dragon tent.

Li Ling didn't know where he went, but he saw that the tent was empty and the coffin was tightly closed.

Gao Chenxian pushed open the lid of the coffin suddenly, it was empty and there was nothing.

The eyes of the two of them almost turned black immediately, and their hearts were in turmoil. Where did the emperor go?

At this time, there was a sudden noise outside.

"General Gao! General Lin!"

"Beiyan is here!"

Both of them trembled, how could it be such a coincidence?

He opened the curtain and went out. His subordinates had already brought the horses over. The two of them jumped up and rushed to the front line in a hurry.

The sound of horseshoes in all directions became louder and louder, as if there was a thunderbolt, wrapped in a shocking ferocity.

Beiyan is all here.

Gao Chenxian lay on the horse's back, thinking in his heart, he had calculated thousands of times, but he missed it.

Fortunately, the army is a temporary rest, not stationed, and it is easy to organize.

As soon as he jumped onto the drum ring, he slammed the war drum for dozens of times, until the sound of the drum reverberated all over the mountains and plains, almost equaling the sound of Bei Yan's horseshoes, and there was even a faint tendency to counter pressure.

Gao Shenxian is well aware of the importance of military spirit, when there are few enemies and many enemies, one must have the determination to do everything he can, otherwise he will be defeated.

The dense drumming stopped, and the surrounding area was quiet.

He raised his voice and said: "Soldiers! Tonight is the last battle before we go home! We must win this battle! We would rather return the shrouded body of horse leather than die in this deserted place! So! We must win! As long as Believe that Daliang will win! Daliang will win!"

"Da Liang will win!"

"Da Liang will win!"

……

The slogan of enthusiasm resounded through the mountain road, the flames of the beacon had already been ignited, the arrows and crossbows were fully drawn, and the tight military formation was lined up one after another. Under the cold moon, the armor gleamed coldly, like a cruel death.

In the blink of an eye, Beiyan's vanguard cavalry had galloped up, and the two armies faced each other head-on for the first time, like a tiger's mouth opening to each other, ready to clamor to tear each other down at any time.

Gao Chenxian sat on the horse without moving, only staring at the leader in the front row.

King Beiyan held the reins of the horse and moved back and forth in front of the front line of troops, but did not move.

"Your Majesty, please give an order. They only have this number of troops here. Our number of troops is several times that of theirs. In less than an hour, the war can be quelled." The deputy general beside him urged.

King Beiyan felt something was wrong.

"Don't you think they're too calm?"

"..."

"Look at their army formation, it's neat and orderly, without a trace of panic, it doesn't look like they were forced to fight a decisive battle."

"Kings!"

At this moment, a loud laugh suddenly came from a high-hanging watchtower car on the Daliang Army's side.

"King Beiyan, we meet again!"

Beiyan Dynasty looked at the watchtower car, his eyes were shocked, his whole body seemed to be stared at, and he remained motionless.

Xiao Gui!

"Didn't expect that? I'm not dead yet."

Gao Shenxian and Lin Yun were also at a loss, they never expected that the person who had just disappeared in the dragon tent was actually hiding in the watchtower car.

The emperor is also true, and he did not notify them in advance.

King Beiyan reined in his horse again and again, and took a few steps back.

Xiao Gui is not dead? !

So that means it's all acting?That Prime Minister Liang is also acting?

The lieutenant beside him said decisively: "Your Majesty, even if Xiao Gui is not dead, that's all their troops have. We don't need to be afraid of them!"

What King Beiyan thought of was not Xiao Gui, but Wen Wujue.

This must be Wen Wujue's trick!

"Retreat! Retreat!"

"Get out!"

King Beiyan shouted, ignoring the lieutenant general's dissuasion, "The rear army has changed to the front army, withdraw! Hurry up!"

If you don't leave, I'm afraid you will fall into the trap!

Beiyan's famous iron cavalry from all over the world came in a hurry and left in a hurry, leaving only the dust and smoke rolled up all over the place.

The sergeants on Daliang's side were dumbfounded.

This is, scared away by the ghost of the emperor?

Xiao Gui jumped down from the watchtower car, patted the dirt on his hands, and secretly praised in his heart, as expected, Xiangfu knew people's hearts well.

Seeing him appearing suddenly, all the soldiers couldn't hide their panic. They all thought that they were wrong, or was it the emperor's ghost?

Gao Chenxian coughed lightly, and then told everyone the truth.

Lin Yun thought for a moment, then stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, now that King Beiyan is retreating, he will definitely not let Zhao Xin's troops in the east go."

As soon as Xin Zhao was mentioned, Xiao Gui immediately turned cold.

Lin Yun understood his thoughts very well, but still persuaded him: "Your Majesty, Xin Zhao's death is not a pity, but the soldiers under him are the children of my Daliang, so we can't leave them alone."

Gao Chenxian also agreed, "Your Majesty, now we must repel Beiyan first. As for Xin Zhao, we can settle the case together after the war is over."

Xiao Gui didn't speak, but he had his own idea in mind.

"emperor?"

Seeing that he had been silent for a long time, Gao Chenxian urged him.

Xiao Gui glanced at him, "What's the hurry?"

He raised his eyes to the east, and casually went to find his silver gun.

Playing dead these days has been useless for too long, but it's a bit raw.

He swung it a few times, regained some feeling, and then slowly said to everyone: "There is no need to rest tonight. We will go quietly after the wolf smoke ignites in the east. There is no need for the cavalry."

"Your Majesty, if the cavalry don't go, our combat effectiveness will be greatly weakened!"

Xiao Gui glanced at Gao Chenxian, "Do you think we can take Beiyan with all our troops?"

In terms of cavalry, Beiyan is the master of the grassland, and the cavalry is number one in the world.

Daliang is located in the Central Plains, so it is not easy to train in actual combat. No matter its strength or quantity, it is far behind.

This battle must be won quickly, or Daliang's army will have a food and grass crisis and fall into defeat.

And when it is obvious that a quick victory is impossible, it can only be taken by chance.

After the third watch, a faint blue-gray smoke finally ignited in the dark night to the east.

Xiao Gui led all the infantry and traveled ten miles quickly, hiding among the mountain roads, without making a sound.

On the road to the east, there are high mountains and forests on both sides, making it easy to hide.

This is also the reason why Beiyan didn't choose this path to hunt down at first.

The flames of war have reached a feverish stage, and the disparity in strength between the two sides is so great that it can almost be called Beiyan's unilateral strangulation of Xin Zhao's troops.

Amidst the brilliant flames, Xin Zhao's eyes were red with blood, the mount under his crotch was gone, and the long sword in his hand was not the one he used every day.

His whole body was covered with blood, and he didn't know whether it was the enemy's or his.

Xiao Gui was not moved by this person at all, his eyes wandered around, and finally caught the figure of King Beiyan.

King Beiyan was riding on a tall horse, drinking wine, as if lying drunk on the battlefield, leisurely and comfortable.

"Your Majesty, brothers are ready."

Xiao Gui raised his hand to restrain him, "Don't worry."

The situation below is becoming more and more obvious. It is obvious that Zhao Xin's troops have insufficient stamina, and the army is in a state of confusion.

After three quarters, a sentry came to report, and said something in front of King Beiyan, King Beiyan seemed a little regretful, and sighed.

He waved his hand slowly and spit out a word, "Kill!"

This time, it was a complete killing order.

The iron cavalry behind King Beiyan swarmed up, ready to trample Xin Zhao and his sergeants into meat paste.

The majestic iron cavalry, stepping on the power that almost shakes the mountain road, is like a heavenly soldier and general.

In the face of absolute power, any resistance is a dying struggle.

Xin Zhao almost despaired.

At this moment, Xiao Gui stood up suddenly.

"Catch the thief first and capture the king first! Take down the Beiyan King and reward him with ten thousand taels of gold!"

"kill!"

The infantry lurking on both sides of the mountain path dodged away like phantoms in the dark night, neither stopping the iron cavalry nor helping Xin Zhao, with a clear goal, heading straight to King Beiyan.

At this time, there was nothing behind King Beiyan.

His cavalry has been dispatched.

In a short while, the situation was reversed, and Beiyan's winning ticket became a piece of waste paper.

Northern Yan King was controlled by Xiao Gui's infantry.

"Xiao Gui! How dare you kill me?!"

Xiao Gui chuckled, "Why don't you dare? But, I don't want to kill you, and if I keep you, I'm still useful."

After a scuffle, the Beiyan cavalry finally came to their senses.

The leading general pointed his spear at Xiao Gui, and his voice was stern.

"Xiao Gui! Let our king go!"

Xiao Gui spread his hands, "You let it go as soon as you say? Then we will lose face."

"Then what do you want? If you don't let the king go, I will kill you general."

Xiao Gui took a closer look, the man under his spear was kneeling on the ground, his face was covered with blood, if it was the general's battle robe, he could hardly be seen as Xin Zhao.

He said with a light smile: "This person seized power first, and then betrayed the country. It is better to die. If the general kills him, I will also thank you."

"you!"

The opponent's general obviously didn't expect the emperor of Daliang to be so thick-skinned, and he was speechless for a while.

Dawn is about to break, and the night of killing is drawing to a close.

Xiao Gui casually pulled a Beiyan's war horse, and jumped up.

"On the way of our army's withdrawal, you must not chase or kill, and you must not ambush. When our army retreats to the edge of the Ming River, your king will naturally be released after three days. Remember, otherwise this old man's life will be lost!"

After all, Xiao Gui led the Daliang army to withdraw in a swaggering manner, leaving Beiyan's generals turning blue with anger.

In this battle, Daliang defeated Beiyan, and later generations called it "Battle of Baishidao".

The history book meticulously wrote: "... On the way to withdraw the army, Beiyan chased and killed the remnant army of Daliang. Unexpectedly, Xiao Gui suddenly appeared and pretended to die. The king of Beiyan got his way, withdrew the army hastily, and changed the direction of the pursuit. Unexpectedly, in the victory When the time was set, but because of carelessness, he didn't realize that Xiao Gui's infantry had arrived, and once captured, he became a prisoner..."
