Chapter 676 The Nightmare Reappears
Chapter 676
In the past two days, the Dali army slowly withdrew from Lingshou County, Puwu County, Sangzhong County, Leyang County, and Jiumen County in central Changshan.
Dali made no secret of its purpose. Changshan was the bait they threw out to provoke a fight between the Xianbei and Pingzhou.
The head and tail were thrown out first, the head was given to Pingzhou and the tail was given to Xianbei.
Now let’s throw the middle section aside. Whether the Xianbei and Pingzhou can fight depends on this.
Dali first notified the Xianbei that it was preparing to take over the territory, and then revealed the news to the Sun family army.
However, Dali's trick had long been seen through by Sun Ming, Guo Chong and others. They directly ordered Muye to lead an army to escort Lv Mingzhi to Jiumen County to take over the city.
As soon as they arrived in Jiumen County, they found that the Dali army had indeed withdrawn to the neighboring Zhongshan City.
The common people of Jiumen County were also fleeing with their small bags. Those who were well-informed had already known that Changshan Zhongqiu, Yuanshi, Guanxian, and Shiyi were already under the rule of the Xianbei. They did not want to live under the rule of the Xianbei.
Time was urgent, so Muye ordered his men to quickly take over Jiumen County.
"Da Li is also mean and evil." Zheng Hu said.
"Otherwise, how could we let Pingzhou and Xianbei fight?" Muye replied.
Only for territory would they fight to the death.
"Yes, only in this way can we beat people's brains into dog's brains." Zheng Hu nodded.
Makino looked at him speechlessly. If you don’t know how to speak, then don’t speak!
Some of the common people who had not left yet saw the Sun family army wearing Pingzhou military uniforms, their eyes lit up, and they stepped forward and asked, "Sir, has Pingzhou taken over Jiumen County?" Their tone was full of hope.
The person he asked was Zheng Hu, who evasively replied, "Old man, you should leave Jiumen County first. There might be a fierce battle in Jiumen County soon."
"All right."
The soldiers brought by Muye began to form teams and search the entire county to let the stranded people leave as soon as possible.
After Muye confirmed that all the people had been cleared out, Lu Mingzhi immediately led his men to begin deployment.
After Lü Mingzhi finished his arrangements, Muye had someone escort them away, and then arranged for the suicide squad to enter a secret place.
After receiving the notice from Dali, the Xianbei sent several sons, each with a team of troops, to take over the city.
The people in the Xianbei royal court were not stupid, and of course they understood Dali's plan. Even if they didn't understand it at first, they understood it after Shangquyang and Nanxingtang were occupied by Pingzhou.
Now, what they need to compete for is who will capture the city thrown out by Dali first.
Tuoba Xun led his brothers and divided the troops into several groups. After successfully taking over Sangzhong County and Leyang County, they wanted to move forward to take over Lingshou County and Puwu County, but found that they were too late.
They were outside the city and saw from afar the soldiers of Pingzhou walking on the city walls of Lingshou County and Puwu County.
"Pingzhou again!"
Of the five counties given up by Dali, Pingzhou and the Xianbei each got two.
"Brother, hurry up and send someone to Jiumen County!"
“Brother, let me go!”
“I’ll go!”
The younger brothers brought by Tuoba Xun rushed to take the initiative. This was definitely a piece of military merit that was earned for free. Only a fool would not grab it.
Tuoba Lian was the only one who remained silent. Judging from this, the Sun family army must have also sent troops to Jiumen County. He shook his head at the thought of leading the troops alone and confronting Pingzhou.
"Stop, in this battle for Jiumen County, we might face off against Pingzhou. Now, do you still want to ask for your orders?" Tuoba Xun asked.
"Brother, you go ahead. We will clean up the city while waiting for your good news." Tuoba Yu and others realized that in this operation, the eldest brother had not yet taken the lead.
Tuoba Xun was very satisfied with his brothers' understanding. "Alright then, let's speed up and head towards Jiumen County!"
…
The scouts of the Sun family army had been lying in ambush on the way of the Xianbei army. As soon as they saw the Xianbei army coming, they hurriedly sent someone to report the news.
"General Muye, Tuoba Xun is here with his troops!"
"The person who came is Tuoba Xun?"
The soldiers were very excited when they heard this. They didn’t expect that such a big fish would come this time!
"Young men, please act better for me later, understand?"
"clear!"
There were also spies in Tuoba Xun's team who were exploring the way ahead. He was a little worried that Pingzhou would get to Jiumen County first.
At this moment, a spy came to report that a group of Sun family soldiers were spotted heading towards Jiumen County.
Tuoba Xun was overjoyed when he heard this. Did the Sun family army just arrive? This meant that Jiumen County was still ownerless.
"Quick, Azaye, take a team and capture Jiumen County first. I'll lead the troops to meet the Sun family army!"
Once Azaye takes over Jiumen County, they will march into the city! Taking advantage of the terrain, they will hold the city and by then, the Sun family army, which arrives late, will be left with nothing but despair!
All the plans went as Tuoba Xun expected. With his troops blocking the way, the Sun family army was unable to bypass him and take over Jiumen County.
After Jiumen County fell into their hands, Tuoba Xun led his troops in a fighting and retreating manner, and finally retreated to Jiumen County with the help of his own people.
Muye stood at the foot of the city, pointing angrily at Tuoba Xun and the others, "You Xianbei thieves, just wait! I'll call for help! I don't believe our Sun family army can't capture a small county town!"
"What should we do, Prince? If the enemy calls for a lot of reinforcements, we will be at a great disadvantage and may not be able to defend Jiumen County."
"He's not the only one who can call for help! Someone come..."
The news that Tuoba Xun sent someone back to get people naturally spread to Muye and others.
They smiled at each other and said, "Call more people! Call more people!"
Yang Yingqin, who retreated to Zhongshan City, thought about throwing away the entire Changshan just to create disputes between the Xianbei and Pingzhou, and he didn't know what the effect would be.
"Will the Xianbei and Pingzhou really fight?" he said to himself.
At this time, subordinates came to report that the Xianbei and Pingzhou had started fighting for Jiumen County.
In the next two or three days, stimulated by the Sun family army's constant feint attacks and reinforcements, the Xianbei army also continued to reinforce until the Xianbei army in Jiumen County reached 20,000 troops.
"It's time to close the net!" Muye was filled with regret. It was a pity that Jiumen County could only accommodate 20,000 soldiers at most, no more. This was already the limit, otherwise they could send more Xianbei barbarians on their way.
That night, at three o'clock in the morning, when it was the dead of night and everyone was asleep, Jiumen County exploded from point to point.
Tuoba Xun woke up from his sleep with a start, and heard bursts of explosions, as if the nightmare in Yanmen was recurring!
Tuoba Xun quickly fled the tent. In the pitch-black night, wailing filled the air. By the moonlight, he saw the devastated scene. He knew! The Yanmen earthquake hadn't been caused by an earthquake at all!
Yang Yingqin, who was far away in Zhongshan City, was also awakened.
"What's that sound?" Yang Yingqin looked at his guards in surprise and suspicion.
"Why does this earth-shaking feeling feel like an earthquake?"
Looking at the direction, could there be an earthquake in Jiumen County?
