Chapter 247 Ending De decently
"Has the Jin army left the city?"
In an instant, Tuoba Jiu knew that Lu Qiang must have known what had happened in Yanmen.
"How many people did they put out? What kind of arms are they?
Asked, Tuoba Kui's footsteps still hurried out. To be honest, he wanted to fight a face-to-face battle with the Jin army.
The Central Plains are good at defense and rely on the strong wall to make them grassland people who dominate the world with iron horses. Once the cavalry dismount, they are no different from these Central Plains soldiers.
In the two wars, Tuoba gui's army has never had a ground battle with the Jin army, so if it can come to the ground war with the Jin army at this time, it is really great, because Tuoba gui is convinced that it can defeat the Jin army, and as long as it defeats the Jin army, then it can be discussed slowly.
Lu Qiang dispatched 30,000 troops this time. In front of him were 5,000 soldiers with spears and iron armor. These soldiers were all burly, and the spears in their hands were much longer than ordinary spears.
Behind the spearman are 5,000 crossbowmen. The most surprising thing is that there are 500 chariots in the army, but there is no one in each chariot except the soldiers driving, and this kind of chariot is also different from ordinary chariots. There are high-level baffles on both sides of the chariots, as if to cover something.
This kind of chariot gives people the feeling that it is not like a chariot, but more like a carriage pulling goods.
Later, there is Lu Qiang's 5,000 Chinese army, with 5,000 iron horses guarding the two wings.
Tuoba Kui first stood on the watch platform in the camp and looked at the platoon of the Jin army, and then ordered 50,000 troops to be dispatched. This is a battlefield, and there is nothing to talk about. He has seen Lu Qiang fight in person, so he arranged it like this. If the first war can solve this difficult emperor of the Jin Dynasty, all problems will be solved.
Not far from the city, Lu Qiang ordered the army to stop and quickly unfold the formation. The chariot was pulled with specially polished stones, and with the height of the chariot, those small catapults were not easy to be found when assembled.
Soon, Wei Jun also lined up. At this time, he saw Deng Xiang's old opponent Mo Ti coming out and came to the front of the two armies and shouted Deng Xiang to answer.
Deng Xiang and Tan Daoji followed Lu Qiang. From afar, he also saw Mo Ti. After asking Lu Qiang for an order, he also ran out.
"Man, do you still want to fight with me?"
The opponent is hard to find, and it is still far away from Mo Ti, so Deng Xiang shouted.
Who knows that Mo Ti was not in a hurry to take action. He looked deeply at Deng Xiang and said, "We grassland people are the most important heroes. I have asked Your Majesty for an order. As long as you are willing to submit to my Great Wei, Your Majesty will definitely give you a higher official position than the Central Plains emperor gave you. How about it?"
Deng Xiang couldn't help but be stunned after listening to Mo Ti's words. He looked up and down Mo Ti for a long time before he said, "I also told your majesty that as long as you surrender, you will definitely be a general. Sooner or later, Tuoba Kui will be destroyed by my majesty. It's still too late for you to surrender now."
Deng Xiangxin said that this guy has a lot of force. How can his brain be so naive? But not to mention, this guy is really stupid and cute.
In Mo Ti's mind, the Wei army is invincible in the world. In this kind of frontal confrontation, it is impossible for the Jin army to win at all. Thinking of Deng Xiang, who was equal to himself, ran to persuade him to surrender.
After listening to Deng Xiang's words, he couldn't help frowning and wanted to say something, but there was the sound of drums marching behind him.
In desperation, I had no choice but to take the horse back.
Deng Xiang suddenly said to Mo Ti's back, "Mo Ti, for what you said today, I will definitely not kill you if I catch you the next day."
Mo Ti didn't look back and returned to this array.
At this time, Tuoba Kui no longer had the patience to work with the Jin army. He hit the flag, and 10,000 iron horses rushed out and rushed straight to the front of the Jin army.
Seeing the Wei army coming, the archers immediately shot the already winding arrows into the sky. The first 5,000 spearmen poked the root of the spear on the ground, and the tip of the spear turned to 45 degrees. At the same time, they clenched the spear rod with both hands. It seemed that they were going to resist the cavalry in this way.
Under normal circumstances, this is a helpless and tragic defensive method for infantry against cavalry. Everyone knows that using this method to stop cavalry is only temporary. After the iron riding, these infantry may not exist.
So after seeing the defensive posture of the Jin army, Tuoba Kui couldn't help smiling and said secretly, "What good can I do for the Jin army to resist my iron horse!" Isn't it like looking for death with this stupid way to lose dirt?"
Tuoba's smile was quickly fixed on his face, and his eyes looked at the scene on the battlefield in disbelief.
Under normal circumstances, the cavalry assaulted and the crossbow was the first, but the bow and crossbow of the Jin army were released first. At this distance, ordinary bows and arrows could not hurt the Wei army, but they still let the Wei army running in the front subconsciously raise the shield, which gave the spear soldiers a glimmer of vitality, and also gave the throw hidden behind the chariot. The stone machine won precious time.
The war horse flies. When the Wei army in the charge pulled away the bow and arrow, the Jin army's catapult also began to be powerful.
This small catapult principle is a bit similar to the slingshots of later generations, but its power is not the same.
As soon as the Wei army running at the front pulled away the bow string, the stones in the sky fell down and were hit by the stones. Unlike bows and arrows, they lost their power when they hit the target, because the stones would roll. After hitting the first person, they often continued to roll back and then bring down a few people.
Ten thousand people charge. Once someone in front of them falls, they will be trampled into mud by their companions behind them in a blink of an eye.
After the first round of stones, the offensive of the 10,000 Wei army suddenly slowed down. At this time, the spear soldiers who had just made a defensive posture suddenly retreated like a tide and completely gave up the front to the crossbowmen behind them.
So the crossbow cooperated with the stones and once again spread to the Wei army like a storm.
"How could this happen?"
Tuoba gu's head was almost deficient by the endless means of the Jin army, but this time he finally did not withdraw the army, but sent 20,000 cavalry to take over the troops who had escaped by himself.
Everyone knows that escaping from the battle is a death penalty, but under such a horrible attack, if you don't run, there will be something wrong with your head, so Tuobai did not blame the soldiers who retreated on their own.
At this time, he had seen that the cavalry on the left and right wings of the Jin army had a faint momentum to launch, so he must ensure that the army could not be chaotic.
Lu Qiang saw this situation under the sanitation of the army on the opposite side and couldn't help nodding his head. Tuoba gui was really old enough. It seemed that he wanted to raid his plan, but he could not implement it.
Lu Qiang did not order the army to advance. His army was mostly infantry. If it was too far from the city, it would be easy to be cut off by the Wei army.
Tuobagui opposite also became worried at this time. The Jin army seemed to be putting on a stand, but still refused to fight head-on with him. The Jin army's catapult was too horrible. If the army charged again, it was bound to increase the damage.
In fact, the loss of soldiers is still secondary. Tuobajiu went south twice and returned empty-handed, and also damaged the soldiers, which has seriously damaged his prestige and will bring great hidden dangers to his rule.
It was a strange scene. Both sides had scruples, but neither of them refused to retreat first, and they were deadlocked here for a while.
After a while, Lu Qiang suddenly came out and came to the front of the two armies and shouted, "Brother Tuoba, how about coming out?"
Tuoba Kui saw that Lu Qiang rode out alone. After thinking about it, he understood why Lu Qiang came here. He sighed slightly in his heart. He was there in the Central Plains, and I'm afraid there was no place for him anymore.
At present, despite the opposition of the guards, he also urged the horse to ride alone.
"The Emperor of the Central Plains, do you want to fight with me?"
After listening to Tuoba's tough words, Lu Qiang couldn't help laughing and said, "If Tuoba is interested, I don't mind accompanying you, but I'm afraid you are not my opponent."
"Oc, the wise man doesn't say secret words. The two armies are facing each other. My army is not as good as your army, because I have too few cavalry, but it is unlikely that you want to completely defeat me. Instead of working here, it's better to take a step back from each other."
With the courage of Tuoba Ji, he did not dare to fight one-on-one. That was just a strong-faced sentence. After Lu Qiang finished his last sentence, he said coldly, "How to retreat?"
"How about you withdrawing from the Yanmen Pass with your troops? I promise not to stop you and let you retreat safely?"
After Lu Qiang finished speaking, he saw that Tuoba seemed to be unconvinced, and then he looked coldly: "Brother Tuoba, the most honest thing is that I can afford to lose. Can you afford to lose? Don't escape back to the grassland alone. I'm afraid your emperor's throne will be given to others. Now that we end this war decently is the best for you and me. Think about it!"
Then he said, "Don't worry, if you are alive, I won't sleep well."
Lu Qiang's words all came to Tuobajiu's heart, especially the last sentence. After Tuobajiu was stunned for a while, he couldn't help laughing.
"Emperor of the Central Plains, you said in my heart. With you, how can I sleep well? OK! As you said, I will withdraw from the Yanmen Pass, and your army must not harass my army."
Lu Qiang smiled and said, "The Central Plains people are the most trustworthy. Tuoba can go. I hope we will have no future." After that, he arched his hand to Tuoba.
Both are the hegemons of the world, and only they can accept each other's respect.
Tuobai learned from Lu Qiang's appearance and also bowed to Lu Qiang, and then turned his horse's head back to this array. Soon he saw the Wei army's front team change into a rear team and slowly retreated to the north.
Looking at Wei Jun finally retreating, Lu Qiang couldn't help but breathe secretly. Tuoba Kui couldn't afford to fight. Why did he want to fight again? Kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 yourself, which is the most obvious common sense. Even if you defeat Tuoba Kui in this battle, you will be greatly injured.
Now that Yandi has just been occupied, there are still too many unstable factors, so we can only wait for the future to completely eliminate this hidden danger from the grassland.
Seeing the Wei army retreating, Lu Qiang also waved his hand: "Retired the army"
