The Xianbei cavalry fled and ran for three miles before they dared to stop. Their hair was messy and their faces were frightened. Some of them fell off their horses and sat on the ground, breathing heavily. At this time, Murong Tu also recovered from the heavy trauma and frustration.
He looked at the deputy general on the side, "What did Cang Qiyuan take out just now? Is it so powerful?" Murong Tu said angrily.
The deputy general next to him, Kezuhunduo, shook his head and said, "I have never seen it before, either."
Murong Tu thought: If Dayu had such powerful weapons, then their preparations in the past few years...
He ordered people to count the number of people and found that in just over an hour, there were more than a thousand casualties. Although most of the wounded came back, they had no medicine and could only rely on themselves to heal. The injuries were okay, but what about the seriously injured ones? The blood was flowing like water and the screams were endless, and he could only watch them die.
There wasn't much food left in their hands. It was luck that they met the people of Dayu before. They were their advance team and sneaked through the obstacles through careful work. They originally planned to go to a few more villages to burn, kill, plunder and create panic, and then continue again. Cooperate with the large army inside and outside.
But who knew that every village was deserted. Later, they accidentally came to a cave, and unexpectedly met more than a hundred villagers hiding there.
Those were unarmed civilians. In the eyes of the Xianbei people who were used to seeing killing and bloodshed, it was as easy as cutting a melon. They ignored the people's screams and begged for mercy and kept waving their machetes. Finally, they cut off the heads of the people, piled the corpses into mountains, and let the blood flow down to form a river of blood...
They robbed all the people's food and saw that there was nothing else to gain, so they came back to join the large army.
Now, this is the only food they have, but how can there be enough food for more than 100 people to feed more than 3,000 people? They could only kill injured horses to satisfy their hunger.
Lieutenant General Ke Zuhunduo handed a piece of cooked horse meat to Murong Tu with both hands, "Your Highness, what should we do next? We have no food, and it is difficult to go back now."
"If you don't go back, Dayu's army has such powerful balls that ordinary people cannot have. We will go in through the bribery holes we used before, go directly to the villages, rob their grain, and kill their people. As long as they come out Once they reach the city, the ball won’t be so easy to use. If we face them head-on, they are no match for our Xianbei Warriors.”
Murong Tu took a hard bite of the tasteless horse meat, chewed it hard for a few times, then swallowed it, and said: "Break up the team, and go grab it in teams of 100 people. Leave 2,000 people behind, and we'll be there." There is an ambush here. Once they leave the city, we will kill them directly. If we can't capture the town, we will rob the villagers. We can't go back empty-handed. Even killing a few people will be fun." He looked at the darkening sky and said, "Let's find a place to rest first. In a moment, as soon as midnight tonight, let them take action. We will activate all the detailed measures to defend the barrier tonight and send these more than a thousand people over as soon as possible."
"yes!"
In Yuyang County City, Xia Qingfeng was busy nervously in the medical clinic. The grassland people were indeed fierce. Even with all the preparations, eight people from our army died and dozens were injured.
Xia Qingfeng led the doctors to treat him in the hospital, while Cang Qiyuan on the tower frowned and looked into the distance, "Uncle, do you think the Xianbei people will come again?"
"Will there be a night attack tonight?" Xia Min was guessing.
"Today's bomb must have hit them hard, and they may not dare to come again."
"Then are they going to withdraw their troops like this?"
"That's not the way of Xianbei people. How could he be willing to go back empty-handed?"
"Then will they go to other towns?"
"They don't know that other defenders don't have this bomb. They suffered heavy casualties and shouldn't dare to try it easily."
"this……"
Cang Qiyuan thought about it and clenched his fists and said, "People, they have killed more than a hundred of us before." Cang Qiyuan frowned, "Will they vent their anger on the people?"
"This...what can we do!"
"They seem to have a way to enter the barrier." Cang Qiyuan said firmly.
"Although some parts of the barrier are in disrepair, and there are soldiers guarding every section there, it's impossible for so many people to come in without any movement!"
"A large number of people will definitely not be able to enter, otherwise they would not attack the city from the main gate, but there should be no problem if dozens of people sneak past. It seems that the army must have sneaked into Xianbei's secret work."
"This...I'm going to change defense right now." Xia Min was a little anxious.
"It's too late. They have to act tonight if they want to pass through the large number of soldiers."
"Uncle, keep guard here, I will figure out other things." After saying that, he turned around and walked down the tower.
There are 20 soldiers stationed in each watchtower of the barrier. They can come in during the day, which means that the watchtower has been controlled by their craftsmen, but it is impossible for each of the 20 soldiers to be a craftsman. There are two possibilities, one is that the other soldiers were carefully controlled, the other is that they have all been killed.
Therefore, he planned to join Cang Ji, each with a thousand soldiers, divided into two groups, with Yuyang City as the center, to inspect the east and west sides respectively. There are not many beacon towers, only one beacon tower is set up every ten miles. However, they guessed that it was not far from Yuyang County. After all, the Xianbei people had just left Yuyang County and would not go too far.
Cang Ji set out from Yuyang County to patrol in the direction of Youzhou City, while Cang Qiyuan headed in the direction of Liaoxi County.
Soon Cang Qiyuan led his troops to the beacon tower twenty miles away from Yuyang City. As usual, he asked all the soldiers stationed here to come out for questioning.
But the soldiers who went to look for it came over and said there was no one inside. At this time, the Eagle Guard beside him flew up and picked up a soldier who was lying outside the wall to take shelter. Cang Qiyuan also jumped into the air and threw his flying grappling hook towards the person who was halfway down and preparing to escape.
The flying claw hook directly caught his clothes, and the sharp steel claws pierced into his flesh, causing him to scream in pain.
After the two were captured, they were tied up immediately. The two kept begging for mercy, saying that they had mistakenly thought that the enemy was attacking, and they just wanted to survive.
Cang Qiyuan stepped forward and stared at the two of them with cold eyes: "Where are the other people stationed here?"
The two of them hesitated for a long time but couldn't say anything, "Let me interrogate it, just here! You can use any means, as long as they tell the truth." Cang Qiyuan gritted his teeth and squeezed out these words. If these two people are really If you look carefully, it is very likely that the Xianbei people massacred the people from here, so it is not an exaggeration to rip off the skin and cramps of these two people.
When the two of them saw each other, they looked at each other with no way out and prepared to commit suicide. The two Eagle Guards kicked their jaws, and several bloody teeth flew out of their mouths instantly, including the two with poison sacs.
The two of them were dragged down like pigs to death. Soon, the soldiers found other soldiers at the bottom of the beacon tower, and they all had their necks wiped with a knife. The expression is not painful, just like sleeping. It seemed that they had been drugged and stabbed to death while they were asleep.
The soldiers' eyes turned red when they saw this, and their interrogation of the two meticulouss became even more cruel and merciless.
