Chapter 677 Tuoba Xun's Death
If there really was an earthquake in Jiumen County, wouldn't the two armies fighting for Jiumen County be in trouble?
Thinking of this possibility, Yang Yingqin was shocked. It would be great if this were true.
God bless Dali!
Dali has had a very difficult time in recent years. Facing the Xianbei and Pingzhou, it urgently needs a victory to turn the tide.
At this moment, he wished that the entire Changshan would earthquake, so that the Xianbei army and Pingzhou army stationed in Changshan could be destroyed in one fell swoop.
Yang Yingqin didn't know that what he thought was an earthquake was not an earthquake, but the Xianbei and Pingzhou were fighting as they wished. It should be said that Pingzhou was suppressing the Xianbei.
With one move, he lured the enemy deep into his territory and annihilated the 20,000-strong Xianbei army.
Yang Yingqin decided to take a team of soldiers to check it out. If possible, he would not mind giving the Sun family army and Xianbei soldiers who were injured in Jiumen County a final blow, and then frame each other to make the conflict between the two sides more intense.
At this time, the entire Sun family army entered Jiumen County and searched the entire county to kill any criminals who had escaped.
"General Muye, we don't want to take any prisoners this time?"
Makino: “Yes.”
Before he passed the news of Jiumen County back, he received a secret order that Tuoba Xun must die!
These are all young and strong Xianbei people, different from the Fuyu people they captured.
Even if the Xianbei barbarians were captured, Pingzhou would not allow the Xianbei to redeem them before the war was over, because these people were young and strong and were the source of soldiers. If they were redeemed, they would become the Xianbei army to invade and harm the Han people.
This time, General Sun Ming and others came in person.
This time, it was the second time that Pingzhou used explosives on a large scale. The first time was used in Yanmen, but they had never seen it, so they had to come and see for themselves what it was like this time.
The captain under his command asked again, "Should we deliberately let one or two fish slip through the net to lure the Xianbei army to rescue their prince? Then we can ambush them along the way..."
Muye shook his head. This issue had been deduced and discussed with General Sun before.
What General Sun, Military Advisor Guo and others meant was that there was no need.
Don't underestimate Tuoba Khan and the Xianbei generals. Twenty thousand Xianbei troops have already arrived in Jiumen County. Under such circumstances, they still need to request support. There must be a problem.
Tuoba Khan will send people to inquire about the situation, but before he figured out the situation in Jiumen County, the number of troops he sent would definitely not be too many.
Explosives are precious, and their use must be done to maximize benefits.
In addition, secret weapons like explosives should be kept secret if possible.
So, they should not think about ambushes.
Later, after the Sun family army entered Jiumen County, their first task was to eliminate the Xianbei who had escaped the explosives and find Tuoba Xun.
Tuoba Xun was no fool. He didn't believe the similarities between Jiumen County and Yanmen were coincidences! Furthermore, he smelled a sulphurous smell both times.
Tuoba Xun realized that Pingzhou or Dali had the ability to make a place feel like an earthquake.
This sounds incredible. Although I don’t know how they did it, they did it and the facts are right in front of us.
But, was it Dali or Pingzhou? At that time, only the Sun family army was stationed in Yanmen, and the Sun family army was still under the jurisdiction of Dali.
No, it couldn't be Dali. If Dali had such means, they wouldn't have been defeated so repeatedly against the Xianbei and Pingzhou. Furthermore, the Sun family army stationed at Yanmen eventually returned to Pingzhou.
After deducing this, Tuoba Xun realized that they had fallen into a trap this time.
Leave, must leave! He must tell his father Khan this news!
Tuoba Xun planned to leave from the west gate with the surviving soldiers.
"Prince Tuoba, where are you planning to go?" Muye's teasing voice sounded in the middle of the night.
Hearing this, Tuoba Xun's heart sank. He looked up and saw that the dilapidated city wall in front of him was filled with Sun's army soldiers with lit torches.
It's impossible to fly away even with wings!
He was no match for the enemy, as he only had two to three thousand men, while the Sun family army deployed in Jiumen County had ten to twenty thousand men.
Before Tuoba Xun could shout "surrender," Muye had already given the order, "Archers, prepare!"
"Wait! We—"
"shoot!"
Tuoba Xun realized that Muye wanted him dead, and his desire to survive made him order his men to block the incoming arrows while shouting, "Is General Sun Ming here? I, Tuoba Xun, surrender to you!"
His answer was a rain of arrows, without mercy.
Tuoba Xun continued to shout, "I, Tuoba Xun, promise here that as long as I return alive, I will persuade the Khan to stop being an enemy of Pingzhou!" He did not want to die, he wanted to negotiate terms with the Sun family army.
How can we fight against Pingzhou when it has such powerful means in its hands?
Sun Ming, Guo Chong and the others had actually heard Tuoba Xun's words, but they never showed up. He was going to die anyway, so there was no need to negotiate terms.
"If I can go back alive, I will persuade the Khan to let the Xianbei army retreat back to the grassland!" Tuoba Xun showed his utmost sincerity.
"Keep going!" Muye ordered his soldiers to keep firing their bows and arrows, then he raised his voice to Tuoba Xun, "Your words are untrustworthy! Your Xianbei promises are as good as bullshit!"
Tuoba Xun regretted it deeply. He realized that the Xianbei royal court’s repeated breach of promises had brought such far-reaching consequences.
Seeing that the Sun family army was determined to kill him, Tuoba Xun naturally could not surrender. He immediately organized the remaining soldiers and tried to tear open a gap in the encirclement and interception of the Sun family army.
In order to survive, the Xianbei soldiers' ferocity was fully aroused.
But Makino didn't give him a chance. As soon as he saw them charging, he knew their intention. At the next order, the archers retreated and the throwers behind them came on stage.
Molotov cocktails were thrown at these ferocious Xianbei soldiers, and they caught fire as soon as they hit their bodies.
In an instant, these Xianbei soldiers turned into burning people, and the scene was filled with wailing.
A quarter of an hour later, there were no more Xianbei soldiers standing below.
Muye ordered the killing of any surviving Xianbei soldiers.
The soldiers of the Sun family army received the order and divided into two teams, east and west, and then divided them into two groups to start checking for omissions and filling in the gaps. No matter whether they were alive or dead, they had to stab them in the heart.
After finishing the job once, the two teams swap places and do it again.
Finally, Makino ordered, "Everyone, work hard, dig a few pits, and bury these bodies."
Some of those who had faked their own deaths and had barely managed to avoid the first two rounds of attacks were truly disheartened upon hearing this. "Oh my god, the Pingzhou Army is too devilish! They really are here to wipe out the entire clan!" With this situation, what hope was there for them to survive?
The soldiers of the Sun family army complained as they worked, "These damn Xianbei barbarians still want us to collect their bodies. You are really getting away with it."
The officers consoled the soldiers, "Don't be so. Let's work hard and send all the Xianbei barbarians on their way to ensure no one is left behind."
"Indeed, once the pit is dug, none of those who faked their death will survive."
