(46) Go to the battlefield again

Although Ning Yuan's technique was vicious, he did not expect that there was still a Quandayou and 10,000 troops in the city. As soon as the troops who were trying to attack the city approached the city wall, they immediately encountered attacks from Quandayou's troops. Rolling stones, woods, and bows and arrows hit the head and head, and Zhang Chu's army suffered a loss. Hundreds of soldiers fell down screaming. Ning Yuan, who was watching the battle behind, did not expect that there were still many troops in the city and quickly ordered the infantry to retreat. For a moment, Zhang Chu's army's formation was a little messy. If you get a cheap one, Quandayou would miss such a good opportunity and immediately lead the army out. Quandayou's meaning is to repel Zhang Chu's infantry first and bring Xue Qianqiu back.

Although Xue Qianqiu was panicked, his instinct told him that if he ordered to escape now, the troops would probably be in a complete defeat immediately. In a hurry, Xue Qianqiu ordered the entire army to form a defensive team and retreat while fighting.

The city guards' well-trained training was reflected at this time. Ten thousand spearmen quickly stood in a round shape, covering the crossbow arrows behind them, and ten thousand bright spears pointed forward. In front were the rolling Huns and Zhang Chu cavalry.

Tens of thousands of war horses were running fast at the same time, stirring up smoke and dust in the sky. The rolling smoke and dust could not cover half of the sky and also blocked the light of the sun.

The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and Xue Qianqiu was so nervous that she could not breathe.

Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! The dense crossbow arrows like locusts were shot out, and the Hun cavalry, who was the first to be attacked, was immediately shot in a large area, but this did not slow down the charge of the Hun cavalry. In a blink of an eye, the Hun cavalry had already reached the infantry formation.

The violent impact began. The moment the two sides contacted, the spear pierced into the high-speed sprinting war horses, making a terrifying penetration sound. Then the front row of soldiers were hit by the war horses and flew up. The wails of the war horses and the screams of the soldiers were almost at the same time, gathering into a cruel symphony.

The Huns cavalry and the Daqi infantry fought together, which was a life-and-death struggle, and the two unwilling to retreat. The Huns cavalry wanted to completely wipe out the Great Qi army, and the Daqi spearmen had to shoulder the burden of cover. The field battle between the infantry and the cavalry was at an absolute disadvantage. Soon the infantry formation of the Daqi in Daqi became loose. At the moment of crisis, Quan Dayou led his troops to launch a crazy counterattack from the flank of the Huns. Duanmuming did not expect that there were so many troops in the city to come out. Because he didn't know how many Great Qi army there were in the city, Duanmuming ordered the troops to stop pursuing.

Xue Qianqiu led the remnants to fight and retreat and finally fled back to the city. During this period, the crossbow arrows of the Great Qi army exerted huge lethality, and more than half of the casualties of the Hun cavalry were caused by crossbow arrows.

The battle lasted for nearly an hour. The city guards avoided the annihilation of the entire army with timely response from Quan Dayou. But that's it. Only half of the 30,000 city guards returned to the city. In order to stop Zhang Chu's side attack, the remaining 5,000 cavalrymen met, and in the end they could only return. The Great Qi army suffered a crushing defeat in this battle.

Duanmu Ming only paid less than 2,000 casualties, and Zhang Chu suffered even less than 1,000 people, most of which were slightly injured. Zhang Chu and the Huns were both satisfied with this battle. Although they failed to conquer Dingbiancheng, this ending could also make Liu Qianli at the negotiating table make a big fuss.

Xue Qianqiu, who returned to the city, was still in shock and began to think about how to shirk responsibility. He should be responsible for this battle from beginning to end. Thinking of these Xue Qianqiu's thoughts, he ordered the people below to prepare a banquet and invite Quan Dayou to come and drink, because he expressed his gratitude.

Quan Dayou was not in the mood to drink at this time. He arranged defenses on the city walls and settled the injured soldiers. All these things were waiting for him to implement. However, Xue Qianqiu was his superior after all, and Quan Dayou could only say that he could go to the banquet after he was finished.

In Jiezhou, Bai Yunfan's camp was quiet, and a rapid sound of horse hooves broke the tranquility. It turned out that when Xue Qianqiu took him out of the city, Quan Dayou asked someone to ride a fast horse to report the situation to Bai Yunfan. Bai Yunfan was shocked after receiving the report. Unexpectedly, Xue Qianqiu ignored the military order and led him to fight without authorization.

Bai Yunfan, who was concerned about the battle situation, couldn't wait to report and ordered 20,000 troops to reinforce Dingbian immediately, then clicked a thousand cavalry and led the team to Dingbian City in person.

From noon until dark, Quan Dayou finished his work. He dragged his tired body into Xue Qianqiu's tent and saw Xue Qianqiu waiting for him outside the door. At this time, Quan Dayou discovered that Xue Qianqiu's smile was a bit weird.

Before both sides began to be polite, Xue Qianqiu's face had become ferocious, and she smiled and shouted with a grim smile: "Quan Dayou disrespects the generals, go to fight without authorization, and the left and right soldiers took him down for me."

Quan Dayou was stunned. There was such a thing that was inverted in the world. He looked at Xue Qianqiu's twisted face with disbelief and let the soldiers who rushed up to him take him down.

"Master Xue! You..." Quan Dayou was so angry that he couldn't even say anything. He could only stare at Xue Qianqiu with his eyes. Xue Qianqiu didn't dare to look at Quan Dayou's eyes, and turned his head and couldn't wait to order.

"There is no forgiveness for all the crimes. I will order it to be executed." Xue Qianqiu's vicious intentions were undoubtedly exposed. Now he will kill someone to silence him and let the dead take the blame for him.

Xue Qianqiu's personal soldiers received the order and immediately escorted Quan Dayou out of the tent. As soon as they left the gate, a team of horses rushed towards him. When Quan Dayou saw the man who was leading the way, he immediately opened his throat and shouted: "Shi Shiu, Xue Qianqiu is shameless and will kill me!"

Bai Yunfan rushed to Dingbian with great speed and rushed to the military camp when he arrived in the city. He saw a group of soldiers escorting Quan Dayou out from afar. When he heard Quan Dayou shouting, Bai Yunfan was even more shocked. Unexpectedly, Xue Qianli was so brave that he would still be punished by Quan Dayou if he was defeated. His heart was hateful, his heart was hateful, and his heart was punishable.

"Save people!" Bai Yunfan gave the order, and a thousand cavalry under him surrounded Quan Dayou's personal soldiers like a whirlwind. The personal soldiers were stunned. Bai Yunfan turned over and dismounted, kicked the soldiers away with one kick, stepped forward and loosened Quan Dayou and said, "Dayou, what happened?"

Quan Dayou said the matter quickly. Bai Yunfan immediately understood that the situation was urgent and if this matter was not handled in time, it would be very likely to cause a mutiny.

Xue Qianqiu was waiting in the camp to kill Quandayou's soldiers to reply, but unexpectedly, he waited for the soldiers to repay him. Bai Yunfan was rescued. Xue Qianqiu immediately understood that the matter was broken and Bai Yunfan would definitely not spare him. Xue Qianqiu, who was anxious to jump over the wall, was about to order the soldiers to gather and fight against Bai Yunfan, Bai Yunfan had already rushed in with a thousand cavalry and surrounded Xue Qianqiu's camp.

Most of the city guards knew Bai Yunfan. Seeing Bai Yunfan's actions, no one dared to come up to stop him. Bai Yunfan rushed into the tent with hundreds of soldiers. Xue Qianqiu could not react in time and was immediately taken down.

Bai Yunfan, who figured out the situation, immediately had the intention to kill Xue Qianqiu, but it was not possible. Xue Qianqiu was Xue Yiran's nephew, so it was always inappropriate to kill him like this. Bai Yunfan, who was in the third, finally decided to send someone to escort Xue Qianqiu back to the capital, and at the same time wrote down the details of the matter.

When the news of the defeat reached the capital, Xue Yiran suddenly became dizzy. Unexpectedly, her own people were so unsatisfied. Not only did they say that they were defeated, they also did such dirty and dirty things. They just did it and made people catch them.

But after all, the matter was caused by his own people, and Xue Yiran could not make up his mind. She could only suppress the matter and let Xue Qianqiu have a holiday at home first.

Although Xue Qianqiu's affairs were suppressed, the news of his defeat could not be suppressed. Xue Yiran had no choice but to lock Xue Qianqiu up first, so as to give everyone an explanation.

The court responded strongly to the defeat in this battle, and the forces that made peace began to rise again for a while. Of course, Xue Yiran knew very well that when making peace, he must be the one who suffered the loss.

Liu Qianli, who had been in Liang, had done nothing, immediately started to jump up and down again after learning about the battle situation in Dingbian, and shouted all day long to see Xue Yiran. Xue Yiran was not in the mood to see him at this time, of course she would block her.

Bai Qi originally thought that his vacation would continue indefinitely, but he didn't expect that just one month later, an imperial edict called him into the palace.

It's very simple. Bai Qi still has to go to the battlefield. If he doesn't win a battle, he can't say anything at the negotiating table. Not to mention the Zhang, Chu and the Xiongnu, even the Later Wei and the Northern Qin were originally very enthusiastic about discussing the alliance with Daqi, but now he is stammering and starting to see.

Xue Yiran quickly made new adjustments to the troops. First of all, Bai Yunfan announced that he had been working hard to guard the border for a long time, so he decided to transfer him back to the capital to rest. Liu Mingyu, the commander of the City Guards, led 30,000 troops to replace him. The new City Guards, was temporarily represented by Ye Zhuifeng. Bai Qi's mission this time was to lead 10,000 troops as the vanguards. Xue Yiran's meaning was very clear and he must make some name for himself.

Everyone can understand this arrangement. Bai Yunfan was put on hold. What's strange is that when Xue Yiran announced this order in the court, no one objected, and even Bai Qiwei didn't say a word.

The court once again fell into a delicate situation inside and outside.

Bai Qi is going to the battlefield again. Although the women are reluctant, there is no way. Xue Feihong can still run back to the palace to blame her father. Su Xiangyun came back home and lay down without saying a word. She pulled Qin Yushu and went to the kitchen. The two of them made a table of dishes and wanted to give Bai Qi a farewell.
