At night, darkness enveloped the earth, and a crescent moon shuttled through the floating clouds, making the plateau light and dark. However, in the west of Fuqi City, there were flames in the sky. Piles of bonfires lit by soldiers from both sides covered the city for several miles. The range shines as bright as day.
"General, the enemy is coming." Duan Meng on the city pointed downwards and nervously said to Beigong Zhan.
"Well!" Beigong Zhan held his hand on the battlement and looked outside the city. He saw a cavalry holding a torch and slowly approaching the city. He could clearly see the Sui army's orderly formation, with their armor and weapons shining.
Facing the dense enemy troops, Bei Gongzhan felt a little uneasy. Could it be that the Sui army planned to launch a strong attack overnight? But soon, he rejected this idea, because when the two armies fought, except for sneak attacks on the enemy camps at night and hoping to win through chaos, they generally did not fight at night. On the one hand, the flags could not be seen clearly at night, which would easily make their own side confused. Soldiers are fighting among themselves; on the other hand, the side that launches a night attack usually has fewer troops and has to make dangerous moves, using the darkness of night to cover up its own lack of troops and cause chaos to the other side. The Sui army is now confident of victory, and its total strength is almost as much as the population of Fuqi City. It can attack the city in full force in the white heaven, and there is no need to fight at night.
"General Beigong, you have invaded Lintao and Xiping counties before and defeated the Sui army. Now that the Sui army is approaching fiercely, do you know of a good strategy to defeat the enemy?" A general looked at Beigong Zhan's profile longingly. , asked nervously.
Beigong Zhan felt bitter after hearing this. When they harassed the Sui Dynasty before, they only defeated the soldiers of local counties and counties. As soon as they heard that the main force of the Sui army was coming, they immediately retreated and returned with the looted property and women. On the plateau, had he ever fought against the elite divisions of the Sui Dynasty? What's more, Murong Fuyun's "betrayal" has affected him after all, and he is now a little confused and at a loss as to what to do.
"At this point, it all depends on whether the royal city can be defended." Bei Gongzhan shook his head and said solemnly: "The only way is to guard the city gates and defend the city defenses tightly, and to fight the Sui army."
Duan Meng looked at the steady stream of soldiers and horses in the distance and said in a low voice: "General, I see that the Sui army still has soldiers and horses coming. It is better to take advantage of the enemy's unstable position and send a group of fine cavalry to attack the enemy from the side. Army rear formation?"
"The Sui army is full of tricks. Now the leader of the army is Yang Ji, the murderer of the Sui Dynasty. How can he give you a chance to attack?" A captain on the side snorted coldly: "Duan, if you want to die, Feel free to take your children out, but don’t involve everyone else.”
Duan Meng said coldly: "Murong, if you are afraid, you can run away by yourself. Don't say these words again and again that will enhance other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige."
"Are I afraid of the Sui army? I just see that the Sui army is too powerful and invincible. According to me, it's better for us to save our usefulness and plan for the future." Captain Wanfu sneered and headed towards Beigong. He said: "General, in my opinion, we should take advantage of the Sui army's encirclement before it can be completed, join forces together, and then attack the southern city with the smallest number of people. If we are trapped in an isolated city and engage in offensive and defensive battles with the Sui army, we will obviously sit back and wait for death. "
After hearing these words, everyone around them felt gurgling in their hearts. It can be said that this person has expressed everyone's thoughts.
As all kinds of bad news continued to come, everyone in the city was afraid of the Sui Dynasty tigers and panicked. These tribal leaders became more and more anxious to flee Fuqi City. Moreover, the offensive and defensive battles were fought between the Sui army and the Sui army. The shortcoming of the nomadic people is that if they stick to the isolated city and do not leave, what is the same as waiting for death?
When Beigong Zhan saw the generals' expressions of agitation, he felt even more disappointed. He considered his words and said in a deep voice: "Generals, the Sui army has arrived in large numbers, and most of them are cavalry. If we withdraw, There is no way to go and nowhere to go in the Royal City. For now, the only way is to stick to the Royal City and sit back and watch the situation change."
The generals were silent after hearing this. Now even the only ally Dangxiang has turned against him. Tuyuhun, which has only one city, is about to be destroyed. Even if there is a change in the future, it will be the Sui army that enters the city.
Other than that, nothing else changes!
At this moment, a large group of cavalry broke away from the army and rushed towards them at a faster pace. The leader was known to everyone and was none other than Murong Fujun, the former King of Tuyuhun.
Murong Fujun looked up at the city gate and said loudly to the defenders on the city: "Twenty thousand elite Sui soldiers have arrived outside the city. Another hundred thousand troops will arrive tomorrow. You have no way to escape. The only way to survive is to sacrifice the city. Surrender to the Sui Dynasty. As long as you present the city and surrender, your Majesty will forget all the blame and keep half of your family property. Those who kill Murong Fuyun will be rewarded with a silver reward of ten thousand taels; those who capture him alive will be rewarded with a reward of ten thousand taels. They will also be given the title of Sui Dynasty. Kill or capture the nuns alive. Luo Zhou, Beigong Zhan and other thieves will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver... Those who dare to resist stubbornly will have their clan destroyed on the day the city is broken."
The three thousand cavalrymen who followed him were all members of Murong Fujun. When his voice fell, the soldiers also roared.
In an instant, the sound spread everywhere.
The loud shouts of these people also made the atmosphere in the city very strange, and some generals looked at Beigong Zhan very strangely.
Before today, the Sui army issued a very cruel command: that is, all Xianbei people should be killed; all Xianbei people turned into barbarians, beheaded; all princes and nobles, beheaded! When these three "cuts" came to Fuqi City, these three types of people felt that they had no way out, and the only way was to stay together for warmth and survive together.
This is also the only factor that allows the defenders in the city to unite even when they are bound to be defeated. However, now the situation has changed suddenly, and a door has suddenly been opened in the dark hell. Looking out through the door, you can see the vibrant sunshine everywhere.
After the soldiers shouted three times, Murong Fujun rode forward, looked at the city gate that was slowly falling into deathly silence, and repeated the previous words loudly.
Bei Gongzhan looked around, and suddenly found with sadness that these people had become malicious. He said angrily: "This is the Sui army's attempt to divide and alienate us. Don't be fooled by them."
After saying that, he turned to Murong Fujun and roared angrily: "Despicable Murong Fujun, you have betrayed your country and ancestors. One day, your soul will be thrown into the endless hell and tortured forever."
"I am despicable or Murong Fuyun is despicable, don't you know it in your heart?" Murong Fujun laughed loudly and said loudly: "When Shifu Khan was alive, Tuyuhun and the Sui Dynasty had good relations, and everyone lived a good life. In the days of prosperity, the despicable and shameless Murong Fuyun launched a coup. Not only did he kill the Great Khan who brought a good life to everyone, but he also invaded the Sui Dynasty and massacred the people of the Sui Dynasty without overestimating his own power for his own selfish purposes. Finally, the Sui Dynasty took revenge! And who caused everything today? It was Murong Fuyun, who brought Tuyuhun into despair."
Having said this, Murong Fujun looked at the figures in the city with cold eyes and continued: "You have no choice, and tonight is also your last chance; after dawn tomorrow, the elites of the Sui Dynasty will launch an attack, By then, it will be too late for you to regret it.”
"Now as long as we kill Beigong Zhan and open the city gate, King Wei will forget the past."
"Kill me?" In an instant, Bei Gongzhan suddenly felt full of malice around him. The warriors who were originally his subordinates, after being bewitched by Murong Fujun, instantly became the most dangerous enemy. His expression suddenly changed and he shouted sternly. Said: "Don't listen to his nonsense. The Sui people are despicable and cunning. Everyone has seen it. Warriors, how can the warriors of Tuyuhun bow to the despicable Sui people?"
However, no one answered him. Some Tuyuhun generals pressed their hands on the hilts of their swords and looked at Bei Gongzhan silently, while the people around Bei Gongzhan quietly distanced themselves from him.
"You..." Bei Gongzhan looked at the Tuyuhun warriors around him, his bloodshot eyes flashed with an unbelievable light. Many of the soldiers around him were his confidants and subordinates, but at this moment, they all left one after another. he.
"General Beigong, I'm really sorry. We want to live..." The captain named Murong suddenly shouted angrily, pulled out his sword as fast as lightning, and slashed it at Beigong Zhan.
"Fuck me!" Naturally, Bei Gongzhan would not sit still and wait for death. He slashed at the captain with the sword in his hand. He struck first and chopped the opponent to death with one strike.
"Puff!" In the sound of a sharp weapon tearing muscles, a cold sword ruthlessly penetrated Bei Gongzhan's body. Duan Meng, who was silently by his side, attacked him unprepared, and struck him with a knife from behind. When he stabbed into his body, he used so much force that even the handle of the knife was almost submerged. The blade penetrated Bei Gongzhan's body and even stabbed a general in front to death.
"Poof!" Duan Meng was about to pull out his sword. Seeing the death of their general, Beigong Zhan's soldiers all turned red-eyed and surrounded Duan Meng. One of the soldiers roared filial piety and chopped him down fiercely. Beheaded him.
"Kill!" A general beheaded Beigong Zhan, held his hair, and said loudly to Murong Fujun: "This is Beigong Zhan's head, and the credit belongs to me. I hope you will do what you say... …”
"Pfft!" Before he finished speaking, a sword cut him in half from the side. The general sneered: "You're dreaming!"
"puff!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
When the generals' soldiers saw that their master was being killed, they all roared and drew their swords and began to kill each other.
This kind of fighting soon swept through the entire city, and more soldiers also participated. After a while, the Tuyuhun soldiers in the city burst out with killing sounds. They went crazy and slashed their swords at their colleagues around them, slashing and killing them. On the other hand, he started shouting hysterically and laughing wildly.
Murong Fujun outside the city was stunned when he saw this crazy scene, and quickly led his soldiers back to a safe area to avoid being accidentally injured.
"Your Majesty is so calculating, and I admire you so much for your humble position." Not far away, Yang Shanhui looked at the head of the west city where the killing sounds were loud, and said to the serious-looking Yang Ji next to him.
Yang Shanhui was well-read in the art of war and knew very well the principles of using tactics and focusing on attacking the heart. There were too many battle examples like this in history. Due to long-term failures and long-term siege, everyone in a certain army would be in high tension. If in At a critical moment, there was a commotion, which at first made the army surrender collectively, or at worst made many soldiers go crazy. They killed each other in despair, and jumped from the city to commit suicide in despair.
At this point in the war to destroy the country, the Sui army has taken the absolute initiative. The entire Tuyuhun is under the control of the Sui Dynasty, and Fuqi City has become an isolated city. The situation of being trapped in an isolated city and the "Three Whatevers" caused unspeakable despair to the defenders. What's more serious is that this despair is not caused by one defeat, but by long-term failure and comprehensive failure. This long-term psychological pressure brings the defenders in the city to the edge of collapse. But at this moment, Yang Ji suddenly asked Murong Fujun to bewitch him, which finally caused this despair to burst out.
"This is the bombing of the camp!" Xue Shixiong, who was next to him, also said to Yang Ji with a look of admiration: "The king is still foresighted and has a long-term vision. First, he used three commons and three cuts to overwhelm the enemy. Now. Sending troops at night made the enemy highly nervous. However, at the critical moment, it suddenly gave them a little hope. With this tightening and loosening, it would be strange if the Tuyuhun garrison, which was already about to collapse, did not collapse. "
"The king uses his troops like a god, even to this step. He is really, really worthy of being the God of Military and God of War..." Hao Yuan was also amazed.
"Haha, I finally let you see it. After all, I still can't hide it from you." Yang Ji had an enigmatic and wise expression on his face, and said with a smile: "Haha, everything is in my calculation."
The conscience of heaven and earth, how could he, Yang Ji, think so much? His three "fantasies" and three "cuts" really came from his heart. The reason why he asked Murong Fujun to come out tonight was just to disgust the enemy; the reason why Ling Wan ordered all three armies to send troops to cause commotion was just to suppress them. Just to boost the opponent's morale... Everything was to lay the foundation for the future siege. Who knew that the Tuyuhun defenders would blow up the camp for no reason. But since everyone said that he was far-sighted and logically justified, he would just admit it to avoid being called hypocritical.
Next to them were Qian Shixiong, Feng Xiaoci, A Chi, Po Chaoqi, Wei Yunqi, Yang Shidao, Li Daliang, Dugu Pingyun, Pei Xingyan, Zong Luohu, Shen Faxing, Kong Desao, Cheng Yaojin and other generals. Although there were no He spoke, but looked at Yang Ji with eyes full of enthusiasm and admiration.
"Achi, quite a super weapon!" Yang Ji shouted loudly.
Yang Ji knew that this unexpected bombing of the camp had brought the decisive battle to an early stage, but the Tuyuhun defenders in Xicheng were already killing each other like crazy. If they fought to the end, not many soldiers would survive, and even the people living in this area were killing each other. , suffered heavy casualties in the great turmoil; and it was not suitable for the Sui army to enter the city at this time. They only need to enter the city tomorrow to clean up the mess, but they can launch attacks in other directions.
"The general is here!" The second general responded loudly.
Yang Ji ordered: "You two immediately lead your cavalry to the south and coordinate with Yang Yichen to guard the south city. On the one hand, you will use arrows to suppress the enemy troops on the city, and on the other hand, you will prevent the enemy from lowering the city and escaping."
"General, I obey!" the second general responded, immediately returned to his headquarters, and ran south with the soldiers.
"Xue Shixiong, Li Daliang, Dugu Pingyun." Yang Ji nodded again.
"The general is here!"
"The three of you will lead the soldiers of your headquarters to guard Beicheng. You must not leave Beicheng one by one." After saying that, Yang Ji ordered Xue Shixiong: "Xue Shixiong, as the commander-in-chief of the army, you are responsible for communicating with Zhang Xutuo in the West City and East City. connection."
"I will obey your orders!" The three generals obeyed and left.
"Qian Shixiong, you led the main force of our army and targeted Xicheng for me."
"I will obey your orders!"
"Zhu Can, you immediately bring people to inform Zhang Xutuo, order them to launch an attack, and at the same time spread out your troops to cooperate with Yang Yichen in the south and Xue Shixiong in the north to siege the city."
"Here!"
