Tuoba Xiong had been waiting for these words. He wanted them to stay by his side. He didn't believe that with his men by his side, Bai Ying would dare to set up any ambushes against them: "Then it's decided. Jiao Xi, you lead them along the mountain path."
Jiao Xi looked at Tuoba Xiong in surprise: "Isn't the Chanyu going to lead them away personally?"
Tuoba Xiong smiled wickedly: "I will cooperate with you at the north gate of Beifeng City. Once you break through the south gate of Beifeng City, we can coordinate an attack from the inside and outside! Besides, I should be guarding outside the north gate!"
While they were outside Beifeng City, Dong Chu and his group would never have imagined that they would take another route to reach the rear of Beifeng. This was exactly the kind of surprise he wanted!
Jiao Xi instantly understood Tuoba Xiong's meaning: "Your subordinate understands. Your subordinate will lead them along the mountain path."
Tuoba Xiong then looked at Bai Ying: "It is inconvenient for me to walk the mountain path. Would Chief Bai be willing to stay and accompany me? As for leading the way on the mountain path, I will have to trouble Chief Bai to find someone else."
Bai Ying understood perfectly well what Tuoba Xiong meant; he was afraid that Tuoba Xiong might have some ulterior motives and wanted to keep him as a hostage.
Bai Ying smiled calmly and said, "Of course, no problem. Even if I don't go, any of our brothers from Liuying Village can lead the way for the Northern Rong."
As Bai Ying spoke, he turned to the brothers behind him and instructed them: "Just you few, go back and lead all the brothers of Liuying Village to guide the Northern Rong soldiers."
The men behind him were all somewhat worried about Bai Ying, but none of them dared to show it, and they all replied in unison, "Yes."
After everything was explained, Tuoba Xiong gave Jiao Xi a wink, and Jiao Xi immediately led his men to prepare for departure.
"Go ahead." Bai Ying nodded to the brothers from Liuying Village.
The brothers from Liuying Village asked worriedly, "When will our leader join us?"
Bai Ying glanced at Tuoba Xiong but didn't say anything.
Tuoba Xiong raised his chin and said, "Once we capture Beifeng City, we can naturally reunite."
With a deep gaze, Bai Ying said meaningfully to his brothers, "The Chanyu is right. The most important thing now is to capture Beifeng City. Go!"
The brothers of Liuying Village understood that what Bai Ying meant was that their most important task now was to lead the Northern Rong army to the mountain path.
Despite their concern for Bai Ying, the group knew that the mission had to take precedence, so they bid farewell to Bai Ying and led Jiao Xi and the Northern Rong army toward the mountain path.
Watching them walk away, Tuoba Xiongcai looked at Bai Ying and asked, "Chief Bai, do you think we can succeed this time?"
Bai Ying glanced at Tuoba Xiong: "Bai Ying's plan will definitely not go wrong. We will definitely succeed in taking Beifeng City! What does the Chanyu think?"
Tuoba Xiong laughed heartily and patted Bai Ying on the shoulder, saying, "Great minds think alike!"
White Eagle also smiled: "Should Shanyu wait for news at the camp, or go directly to the outskirts of Beifeng City to wait for news?"
Tuoba Xiong naturally couldn't stay in the camp to wait for news; waiting there would mean it would all be too late: "If Chief Bai has nothing else to do, why don't you accompany me to the outskirts of Beifeng City to wait for news of victory?"
He'd heard that Bai Ying was quite skilled in martial arts, so he didn't dare leave him alone at their Sky Dome camp. If he escaped, it would be a huge loss. It was better to keep him by his side and watch over him at all times so he could feel at ease.
"Alright, I'm getting a little embarrassed to be eating and drinking at the Sky Dome camp every day."
Now, no matter what Tuoba Xiong says, Bai Ying agrees with him, determined to confuse him completely.
Let's go!
Tuoba Xiong led his band of warriors and white eagles to Beifeng City.
Xuan Yuanzhan, who was on the Beifeng City tower, had already seen the signal flare that Bai Ying and his men had just fired, and the corners of his lips unconsciously turned up.
The fish has taken the bait; the real show is about to begin.
Jiao Xi led 100,000 Sky Dome soldiers to the mountain with the brothers of Flowing Eagle Village.
All ten thousand brothers of Liuying Village came out to assemble.
"General, everyone from our Flowing Eagle Stronghold is here. Which way do you think we should lead the way?"
One of the brothers from Liuying Village asked Jiaoxi.
At this point, their main focus is on teamwork. As long as these Northern Rong people are willing to walk this mountain path, they will cooperate in any way they want.
Jiao Xi looked at the group, which numbered about ten thousand, and after a moment of silence, he assigned them the tasks: "You few go to the front, and the rest of the Liuying Village people will take the outside mountain path."
He had never traveled this mountain path before, but the Chanyu also said that it was extremely dangerous.
Regardless of whether these people would try anything funny, walking along the mountain path was already dangerous enough, so let them go outside; that was also the plan of the Chanyu.
"no problem."
The brothers from Liuying Village readily agreed and took the lead into the mountain path.
Jiao Xi and the others quickly followed.
Everything went according to Jiao Xi's plan. Several brothers from Liuying Village walked in front, followed closely by Jiao Xi. Each of the last Beirong soldiers was accompanied by a member of Liuying Village, and the Liuying Village members walked on this side of the cliff.
However, the Flowing Eagle Stronghold only had 10,000 men, while the Sky Dome Soldiers numbered 100,000. The Sky Dome Soldiers in the back didn't have any Flowing Eagle Stronghold brothers by their side.
Not long after entering the mountain path, the brothers from Liuying Village ahead kept reminding the Sky Soldiers behind them: "The mountain road is difficult to travel, everyone please be careful!"
At this moment, the brothers from Liuying Village were not really trying to warn the Sky Dome soldiers, but rather to warn the bandit army lying in ambush on the cliff that they had led their men into the mountain path.
As the people from Liuying Village walked, they would occasionally utter a word or two, which made Jiao Xi a little suspicious. He stared solemnly at the group leading the way: "Don't talk, be quiet!"
As they spoke, Jiao Xi slowed her pace, as if afraid of some kind of trap.
"Okay, okay." Sensing that Jiao Xi had become suspicious, the people from Liuying Village dared not say another word and simply led the group forward in silence.
After walking for a long time without any movement, Jiao Xi gradually relaxed his guard.
Perhaps he was overthinking it; the person was just kindly reminding him that the mountain path was difficult and they might fall off the cliff.
The people of Liuying Village, however, became uneasy.
We've already walked a third of the way up this mountain path, so why is there still no movement up there?
Did they actually come to ambush us?
Or did the prince and his men not see the signal flares they released earlier? Or perhaps they released the signal flares too late, and the prince didn't have time to set them up?
What if we finish walking along the mountain path and they still haven't shown up?
We can't really let these Northern Rong people go to Beifeng City!
This won't do! Even if they all die here today, we must leave these Northern Rong troops here to be buried with them! We absolutely cannot let them go to Beifeng City!
The people of Liuying Village were already prepared to die on this short stretch of mountain road.
It was another very long stretch of road, and the Sky Soldiers' legs were starting to go numb from walking.
The brothers from Liuying Village were getting more and more anxious as they saw that they were halfway across the mountain path.
"Boom!" Suddenly a huge rock fell from the sky and crashed straight down onto the mountain path.
