Seeing this situation, Tuoba Lu was very anxious and used his inner strength to fight off Yang Sanniu in order to pull away. However, Yang Sanniu clung to him tightly and did not give him a chance to get away.
Realizing that the two were fighting evenly, Ling Yun slowly lowered his raised hand and then ordered, "Send the order and close the net!"
As Ling Yun's order was issued, Qian's army began to continuously besiege the Xixia army. Guo Yixiu also rushed to the battlefield at this time. His eyes fell firmly on Tuoba Xiong, killing dozens of people in a row, and finally captured Tuoba Xiong. In his hand, he immediately looked at Tuoba Lu and said, "Stop!"
"Tuoba Xiong is in my hands. If anyone dares to move again, I will kill him with one strike of my sword." Guo Yixiu captured Tuoba Xiong and immediately used Tuoba Xiong to threaten Tuoba Lu and ordered the other party to stop.
When the Xixia soldiers saw their general being captured, they panicked and did not dare to move at all. They all looked at Tuoba Lu.
"Tuoba Lu, if you don't stop, I will kill him." Tuoba Lu was still fighting with Yang Sanniu. The sword in Guo Yixiu's left hand was pressed firmly against Tuoba Xiong's throat. As long as Tuoba Lu dared to disobey If you stop, Guo Yixiu will kill Tuoba Xiong.
The two brothers Tuoba Xiong had a deep relationship and were absolutely unwilling to see each other die in front of them. Tuoba Lu turned around, glared at Guo Yixiu angrily, gritted his teeth and said, "Stop!"
"Let my brother go, I am willing to surrender!" Tuoba Lu had no choice but to put down his sword in order to save his brother's life.
At this point, the rescue plan ends.
In this rescue, Xixia lost four to five thousand people and captured two thousand people... The Qian army suffered more than three thousand casualties. In terms of the number of casualties, it was not a great victory. However, the number of Pingnan army casualties was very small and it was not enough to count. Five hundred people, Ling Yun breathed a sigh of relief at this.
As for the fleeing Xixia army, Ling Yun did not pursue them because he had no cavalry available and could not catch up even if he wanted to, so he could only take Tuoba Xiong and others back to Xingyuan Mansion first.
Two consecutive battles, annihilating more than 20,000 Xixia people, gave Ling Yun hope of regaining Jingzhao Mansion.
At noon the next day, there was no time to enjoy the joy of victory, so Ling Yun called Shi Tianzong over without stopping.
Why summoned Shi Tianzong?
Because since the capture of Xingyuan Mansion, Ling Yun did not have Shi Tianzong to participate in the battle, but continued to train the cavalry. Although it only lasted for twenty days, Ling Yun could not wait any longer.
"Tianzong, how is the training of the cavalry?" As soon as Shi Tianzong arrived at the house, Ling Yun immediately asked about the training of the cavalry.
Hearing Ling Yun's words, Shi Tianzong was a little confused, but he still answered truthfully, "Commander Ling, after so many days of training, the new white-robed army has not reached its original combat strength, but it is definitely not weaker than Luo Zhishang's cavalry."
Shi Tianzong answered very confidently.
The reason why they are so confident is that these five thousand cavalrymen are all drawn from the original ten thousand Nanyi Army. These people are all experienced warriors. Riding and shooting are not a problem at all. They are only inferior to cavalry. Cooperation between teams and the running-in of new formations.
"Okay!" Ling Yun was overjoyed, and then said, "Since you are so confident, I will give you a task."
Shi Tianzong was instantly happy when he heard this. He had already stayed in the military camp long enough. Everyone else could participate in the battle, but he and the five thousand new white-robed troops were not allowed to participate in the battle. This made him extremely uncomfortable, especially after two consecutive battles. The victory was even more unbearable for him.
Now that he finally had the opportunity, Shi Tianzong could no longer control his inner joy, grinning dryly as he waited for Ling Yun's decree.
Those longing eyes seemed to be saying, "Shuai Ling, hurry up and give the order. The white-robed new army and I have been hungry and thirsty for a long time."
Ling Yun smiled and said calmly, "Don't worry, this matter is particularly important. It is a key battle to regain Jingzhao Mansion."
Then Ling Yun gave Shi Tianzong proof of completing the mission!"
"Go ahead and try to catch them all."
"The general will obey your orders!"
After Shi Tianzong left, Ling Yun came to the dungeon, where Tuoba Xiong was imprisoned.
Tuoba Xiong and Tuoba Lu were imprisoned together.
Ling Yun stood at the door of the dungeon, looking indifferently at Tuoba Xiong and Tuoba Lu in the cage.
Tuoba Xiong was in a coma due to excessive injuries.
Tuoba Lu was fine, but he didn't respond to Ling Yun's arrival. He glanced at him briefly and said nothing.
"Tsk, tsk..." Ling Yun tsk twice.
Tuoba Lu remained unmoved.
"Your elder brother is about to die!" Ling Yun looked at the dying Tuoba Xiong and said calmly.
When Tuoba Lu heard this, his heart was violently twitched. He knew exactly what Tuoba Xiong was doing now. Even the wounds were simply bandaged by him taking off his clothes, but they were not sterilized, so the originally non-lethal arrow was
The injury has now become a fatal injury.
If he does not receive timely treatment, Tuoba Xiong may die.
But in their situation, it is impossible to treat them.
Tuoba Lu also knew this reality and knew that the enemy would not save his elder brother, so he remained silent about Ling Yun's arrival.
"Death, it's better to die than to live in suffering..."
Tuoba Lu murmured to himself, as if he had accepted his fate. After all, Tuoba Xiong could save him when he was captured last time, but this time both of them were captured by the enemy, and no one would come to save them again.
We can only accept our fate.
"Tuoba Lu, if you beg me now, maybe I will let someone treat your elder brother if you are happy." Ling Yun said seductively.
Tuoba Xiong and Tuoba Lu have a deep brotherhood. As long as he uses Tuoba Xiong as a threat, Tuoba Lu is not afraid of disobedience.
And his next plan requires Tuoba Lu's cooperation.
"Are you telling the truth?" Sure enough, when he heard that there was hope to save Tuoba Xiong, Tuoba Lu suddenly seemed like a different person. He became excited and looked at Ling Yun expectantly.
"It depends on your attitude!" Ling Yun said meaningfully.
When Tuoba Lu heard this, his heart sank.
After a long pause, he looked at Ling Yun solemnly and said, "What do you want me to do?"
"As long as you are willing to obey, I can let you live."
"Listen clearly, it's you." Ling Yun gritted his teeth and said word by word, especially biting the word "you" very hard.
Tuoba Lu was silent.
He raised his head and looked at Ling Yun with anger and confusion.
"Submit to me." Ling Yun said straightforwardly.
"Absolutely impossible." Tuoba Lu refused decisively without any hesitation.
"I'll give you time to think about it..." Ling Yun turned to look at Tuoba Xiong who was lying on the ground, and said seriously, "I hope you can think about the people next to you. After all, when you were arrested, he was willing to promise me anything for you.
, now the decision is yours."
Ling Yun left the dungeon without waiting for a response.
Li Jianhui followed the whole process. When he heard Ling Yun's words, he expressed his disbelief and did not understand why Ling Yun wanted to persuade Tuoba Lu to surrender.
In his opinion, Tuoba Lu was from Xixia, so he would not surrender to him willingly even if he bowed his head. What's more, the other party was just a defeated general. What was there worth subduing?
Therefore, Li Jianhui felt that Ling Yun's army was strong and there was no need for a defeated general like Tuoba Lu.
Ling Yun did not explain his doubts, because he did not want to conquer Tuoba Lu, but needed him to do one thing for him, which was to use him to conquer Jingzhao Mansion.
It was precisely because of this plan that he went to the dungeon and personally persuaded Tuoba Lu, but he didn't know if Tuoba Lu was willing to bow his head.
In the next few days, Ling Yun was busy in the military camp, because he received a lot of soldiers, more than 20,000 new recruits, and together with the previous soldiers, the army now reached more than 40,000 people.
And so many people, not counting the people of Luo Zhishang and Han Qinhu. If their people were added, there would be nearly 70,000 people.
After four battles, Luo Zhishang's team suffered the worst.
When we first took over, we had 10,000 cavalry, but now there are only 2,000 capable warriors left, but we have also attracted many new soldiers.
Luo Zhishang now has 15,000 men, but most of them are new soldiers. If he wants to train them into a combat cavalry, it will take more than a year and a half to achieve combat effectiveness. In order to be able to participate in the war, Luo Zhishang can only train them as infantry.
The reason for doing this is that he hopes to lead his soldiers to participate in the battle of Jingzhao Mansion.
Why do you say that?
Because now Ling Yun has many soldiers and generals, and the Xixia army has been defeated one after another, the enemy is weak and the enemy is strong...According to what Ling Yun said when he faced Han Qinhu before, it was time to use troops against Jingzhao Mansion, so Luo Zhishang and Han Qinhu
Only then will he spare no effort to recruit troops to strengthen his own strength and ensure that he can capture Jingzhao Mansion...
Han Qinhu also has nearly 20,000 troops on his side, so in terms of military strength, Ling Yun can be said to have no worries because both of them are willing to obey his orders.
Who can refuse the orders of a general who can win the battle?
Ling Yun has yet to finalize the two people's ideas.
Moreover, when the two proposed attacking the Jingzhao Mansion, Ling Yun was just vague and confused.
Five days later, Ling Yun returned to Xingyuan Fucheng. The reason for returning this time was that Tuoba Lu wanted to see him.
In the dungeon, Tuoba Lu looked at Tuoba Xiong, who was suffering from a high fever due to an arrow wound. He could no longer hide the desolation and sadness in his heart, so he kept shouting loudly and asked to see Ling Yun.
Ling Yun had already said hello to the jailer in the dungeon. If Tuoba Lu wanted to see him, he would report it immediately.
Time has come to the dungeon.
"Ling Yun, I am willing to surrender to you, but you must promise not to harm my elder brother." Tuoba Lu said weakly, as if saying these words had drained all his strength.
"He surrendered. It's ridiculous. It's really ridiculous!" All this was to save his elder brother. Otherwise, even if he died, Tuoba Lu would not surrender to the enemy. Tuoba Lu comforted himself in his heart.
"Okay, as long as you are willing to listen to me, your eldest brother's life will definitely not be in danger." Ling Yun was very happy about this and agreed to the other party's request without thinking.
At the same time, he sent someone to send Tuoba Xiong for treatment, and Tuoba Lu was also taken out.
