Phoenix Ridge, located north of the three prefectures of Xuan, Cheng and Shun, is the junction of the Ming Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Further north, it is the hilly area of ​​Shenxiangou, with tens of thousands of soldiers stationed in the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

Unlike Hengduan Mountain, there is no natural barrier to defend, and there is no Chishui as the boundary between the two countries. Every autumn, when the three prefectures of Xuan, Cheng and Shun are harvested, the Northern Zhou army will send cavalry to fight the autumn wind, or grab food or goods, which has become a custom.

At this time of each year, Xue Huai, the King of Dingbei, would go back to the capital to report his duties and hand over the three prefectures to the Northern Zhou Dynasty. The Ming army would retreat to the north of the Great Wall.

The Northern Zhou Dynasty was mainly nomadic. After burning, killing, looting, he returned to Shenxiangou with full spoils. Later, Xue Huai implemented the strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields in the three prefectures, and the Northern Zhou Dynasty could not get any advantage.

Although the three prefectures are north of the Great Wall, there are many fertile lands, which would be too a pity if they are abandoned. There is no oil or water to be harvested in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, so he wrote to Xue Huai, asking the Ming Dynasty to resume production, and agreed with Xue Huai to snatch it every two years and notify one month in advance.

This request was already weird enough, and what was even more unexpected was that King Xue Huai of Dingbei actually agreed to the request and sent troops to station troops in the three prefectures to engage in agricultural seeds.

This action caused a stir in the government and the country.

Li Pingyuan, the then literary leader, wrote an article titled "The Tortoise King in Dingbei" to satirize Xue Huai. His writing was sharp, his words were sharp, his rhymes were catchy, and he was widely praised in the capital.

This article says that a man who has never won a battle in 20 years and can only escape was imprisoned as the King of Dingbei, which is a great irony for the Ming Dynasty. Such a marshal, if he were a dog, would be better than him, and he would even bite people.

The Xue family in the capital was slandered and abused. At night, someone would run to their doors to throw rotten eggs and pee at night, making the entire alley smoky. The court later sent troops to guard it, but this matter could not be avoided.

The people from the Xue family were like rats crossing the street in the capital, and everyone shouted and beat them.

But the emperor in the palace was unmoved at all. In early spring, Xue Huai held his grandson. As soon as he was born, the court was named Saobei Marquis and the emperor personally named Xue Guangding.

Xuan, Cheng and Shun's three prefectures fell once every two years and then recovered. The three prefectures belong to you, the Ming Dynasty. We don't know how to grow grain anyway. We rob it every two years. This matter has become a tacit matter between the two countries.

It's the autumn harvest season again.

It started to rain in the sky.

Ten thousand Northern Zhou cavalry, with 30,000 baggage troops, set out from Shenxiangou and crossed Fenghuang Ridge.

The leader is Tuoba Bubai, the son of Tuoba Cage, the regent of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. He is twenty-three years old this year. With the support of Tuoba Cage, he is now appointed as the Lord of the Left Banner of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and is one of the five major banner masters.

The reason why he was called invincible is because he has never been defeated in his life. The reason why he has never been to the battlefield is because he has never been to the battlefield. Now, the god of war Tuoba Niu went to Hengduan Mountain to deal with Yuwen Tianlu. Tuoba Bubai took the opportunity to instigate his father to obtain the temporary position of commander, and led the Great Zhou army to the three palaces to fight Qiufeng.

In Tuoba Bubai's opinion, the Ming army was weak and vulnerable. According to the spies, the turtle prince of the Ming Dynasty did not practice troops or defend, and drank and had fun in the three palaces all day long, and did not take him seriously at all.

This time, when you go out of Fenghuang Ridge south, Tuoba not only wants to win, but also wants to win beautifully.

He wanted to let the Great Zhou know that the Northern Zhou god of war not only had Tuoba Niu Ren, but also Tuoba Unbeaten! The title of Tuoba Niu Ren's war god is just a stark example and only has its own name.

If in the past, as soon as the war letter was sent to the Dingbei Army, the Dingbei Army would return to clean up its things and withdraw to the south of the Great Wall. Then, the soldiers and horses of the Great Zhou Dynasty would naturally plunder.

Returning with a full load.

This time, he did not abide by the old rules and sent a letter of war to the Ming Dynasty in advance, and it was more than ten days earlier than in previous years. He wanted to make contributions, not only to rob grain, but also to kill people and seize the city!

Wolves were everywhere, and beacon fire began to warn you above the beacon tower.

Tuoba Bubai said, "How could he be discovered?"

A subordinate said, "The Lord of the Left Banner..."

"Um……?"

Tuoba Bubai dragged his tone for a long time to express his dissatisfaction.

The man changed his words, "Marson, the Ming thief is not capable, he just runs fast with sharp eyes. Fifteen years ago, the turtle king Xue Huai ran a step slower and was almost captured by the God of War. Since then, a large number of sentries have been placed in the mountains."

Tuoba Bubai said, "Since his whereabouts are exposed, he will send an order to attack the whole army and rob food and kill people! Those who get the first kill will be promoted to one level, and one person will be rewarded with 400 citations. Those who kill the most will be awarded the title of the King of the Heads! Those who plant the battle flag on the top of the city will be sealed with Wei Ai Pi!"

"What is Wei Aippi?"

"It's the warriors among the Great Zhou warriors!"

The subordinate hesitated and said, "This... Marshal, according to previous rules, we only rob food and not kill people."

Tuoba Bubai said angrily, "The rules are the rules of Tuoba's great people. My rules are to kill Ming dogs without leaving any armor, so that they will be frightened when they hear my Northern Zhou wolf cavalry!"

"Is this a bit inappropriate?"

"Are you a marshal, or am I a marshal?"

"You are, but..."

Tuoba Bubai stepped forward, cut off the man's head with a knife, and said to everyone, "This man contradicted his superiors, shakes the morale of the army, and should be killed. He will send an order to the other party. Today, they will be blood-stained in the three palaces!"

The generals of the Northern Zhou Dynasty were thunderous.

The sound of horse hooves splashed and the soil on the ground was radiating.

The Ming army troops who were snatching the grain were hurriedly returned to the army. Before they could pick up the weapons, the cavalry of the Northern Zhou Dynasty had already arrived. A killing came, but it was a pretty boy.

The three major prefectures defended the troops retreated south in a hurry. Those who had no time to retreat became Tuoba's undead souls. It took less than half a day to send troops to Fenghuang Ridge to occupying Xuan, Cheng and Shun Palaces.

It's noon.

Tuoba Bubai has already stood at the head of Xuanfu City.

Victory came so simply, and it was too easy to be the title of the God of War. He felt a little satisfied. In the Northern Zhou Dynasty, he relied on his father's name to be promoted to the Lord of the Left Banner. He never had any military achievements that he could achieve and could not convince the public.

In today's battle, it's time for those pen and momen in the court to shut up!

Tuoba Bubai thought.

"Get food and withdraw troops?"

He disdained to do this. He wanted to station troops here and turn the three palaces into the territory of the Great Zhou. All the fertile fields in the three palaces were planted grass, raising cattle, sheep, and fighting horses.

"My father is the Regent, so I want to be the King of Southern Xinjiang of Great Zhou, and I am also the King of Kings!"

He ordered, "Report the victory to the court!"

The secretary was about to prepare the memorial, but he said again, "Divide it into three memorials and report the great victory of the three governments in three times!"

He wanted to issue three memorials in a row, and one every other hour, so that it would be shocking enough. He wanted the Great Zhou Empire to know that a new star of the God of War would rise slowly on the empire's grassland.

If we can capture the important generals of the Ming Dynasty, this great victory would be even more perfect!

At this time, a spy came to report, "Thirty miles north of Shunfu City, three thousand Ming infantry were found and fled south. According to the spy, it was very likely that it was the turtle king Xue Huai!"

Tuoba Bubai was overjoyed. God helped me. I had whatever I wanted. Someone gave me a pillow if I wanted to sleep. He decided to lead the troops to pursue him and immediately ordered the troops to order them to "capture Wu alive."

The Turtle King, Feng Wei Ai's skin is in the skin!"

This trip brought 10,000 cavalry and 30,000 baggage troops. The opponent only had 3,000 infantry and fled in a panic. As long as you lead a thousand cavalry and charge a few, these Ming dogs will become meat mud.

Tuoba Bubai ordered the baggage troops to defend the three cities. On the contrary, he led 8,000 cavalry to hunt down Xue Huai, the King of Dingbei, and the three,000 infantry.

The historic moment has finally arrived.

Starting from today, Tuoba Bubai's name will be engraved with a strong mark in the history of the Great Zhou Empire!

A big earthquake.

These eight thousand cavalry were the most elite troops of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Once they charged forward, thousands of horses would gallop and be unstoppable.

The Ming Dynasty had 3,000 infantrymen, five miles away from the Great Wall Pass. Tuoba Bubai rushed to the west before these people entered the pass.

Thirty miles were not long or short, and in half an hour, I caught up.

When the Ming army saw the Northern Zhou cavalry arrived, they abandoned their weapons and dispersed them around, leaving their personal soldiers who were less than a hundred of them, leaving behind their commander, Xue Huai, the King of Dingbei, aside.

Seeing this, Tuoba Bubai shouted, "Shock at full speed!"

The cavalry urged the horse to whip the horse and rushed towards Shuaiqi.

One mile away, Tuoba Bubai had already seen the handsome flag.

Half a mile away, Tuoba Bubai saw a war horse. Above the war horse, a man wearing a marshal's robe, ran away from everyone's guards and rushed towards the city gate!

Hundred feet.

Tuoba Bubai grabbed the horse's belly and suddenly accelerated to speed up, standing out from the cavalry. He wanted to kill the turtle king with his own hands. In his mind, he was ready to accept the worship of thousands of people.

Ten feet!

Three zhang!

Tuoba Bubai held a wolf sword in his hand and jumped up from the air above the war horse. He swung out a long sword and chopped off the man's head with one knife. His head rolled on the ground a few times, motionless.

The war horses still rushed forward, and the "marshal" was still sitting on the war horses, but they had no head.

There was no expected blood.

When I went to see "Xue Huai", there was no Xue Huai. He was obviously a wooden man.

Tuoba Bubai smelled the smell of blood.

At this moment, he was only a hundred steps away from the city.

Above the city, thousands of crossbowmen left the chassis, bent their bows and arrows, and pointed at him.

The terrain here is narrow, with two hills more than thirty feet on both sides. At some point, there were also full of Ming archers and trapped eight thousand cavalrymen in the long road.

Tuoba Bubai knew that he was trapped.

"How is that possible?" He was a little unwilling, "Turtle King, Turtle King, every time he fights Qiu Feng, he retreats to Xue Huai, who will take the initiative to attack this time!"

He shouted angrily.

He waved his long sword and rushed towards the city gate.

Countless arrows fell from the sky, killing the son of the Northern Zhou regent, the rising star of the empire, into the cradle.

Everything was in the midst of lightning. The Northern Zhou cavalry had already started, the commander was killed, the cavalry company in front stopped riding horses, and could not stop behind, knocking the former away and trampling into flesh mud.

The entire Northern Zhou army was in chaos.

There were endless screams.

Accompanied by the rain of arrows, they all died under the Great Wall.

Tuoba Bubai died in battle, and the eight thousand most elite cavalry in the Northern Zhou Dynasty died under the Great Wall. Xuan, Cheng and Shun's three palaces heard the news and abandoned the city and fled. They met the Ming army at Fenghuang Ridge and were wiped out.

Hundred miles away.
