Chapter 424: Breaking through the level and interceding

"Yes, General!"

"Woo-woo-woo-" The horn of the attack sounded on all fronts.

Hua Mulan rushed to the city wall with a big knife and her own soldiers on horseback, she jumped off the horse and picked up the soldiers who were blocking the front with a big knife: "Dodge, dodge!" ”

The soldiers turned their heads to see that it was Mulan, and they all retreated one after another, making way for a passage.

Hua Mulan walked quickly to the bottom of a ladder, holding a big knife in one hand and quickly climbing the ladder with both feet in the other, and the soldiers below were encouraged to see that the commander of the general actually went to the city to fight in person.

"General Wuwei - Wuwei - "

"Kill, kill, kill—"

Densely packed with ant-like siege soldiers, they climbed the city wall behind Mulan and entered the battle.

The walls were littered with corpses, swords and arrows, screams and the sound of swords and guns mingling, dead and wounded at every moment, blood at every step.

Hua Mulan jumped on the city wall, and just after walking two steps, she encountered two defenders rushing over, and immediately slashed into four sections with her sword, all the way to the direction of the city tower, the defenders became denser and denser, and the resistance became greater and greater.

Mulan led a group of soldiers all the way over, and all the defenders along the city wall were cleaned up, and her armor and battle robe were already stained red with blood.

When she reached a position only thirty meters away from the tower, the besieging soldiers were blocked here, unable to advance an inch. The fighting between the two sides here is extremely fierce, and people keep falling and people are constantly coming in.

Hua Mulan rushed up with a big knife, someone died in front of her, she immediately filled in the past and swept with a knife, several defenders were stopped and cut into two sections, and then took a step forward, swept with a backhand, and several defenders were killed.

"Kill—"

Under the leadership of Mulan, the siege soldiers advanced step by step, and the defenders were killed and retreated, leaving corpses everywhere.

Finally killed to the edge of the city tower, where a large number of defenders and soldiers gathered, Yi Louji personally sat here to command, but Mulan and the siege army had already advanced here, and if they grabbed the city wall, they could go down the city wall and rush into the city from here.

An inch of corpse and an inch of blood, the battle for the city tower is in full swing.

Hua Mulan saw Yi Louji, and Yi Luo Ji also saw Mulan.

"Kill—" The two of them yelled at each other at the same time.

The sound of the "Dangdang" weapons rang out constantly, the figures of the two fighting faster and faster, the moves became more and more ferocious, and the surrounding soldiers were affected and affected.

With a muffled sound of "bump", the two figures separated, and Yi Louji was kicked by Mulan and hit the pillar of the city tower.

Yi Louji opened his mouth and spat out a ball of blood, and was about to get up to fight again, but when he saw a big knife slashing obliquely, it was too late to dodge, and he was so shocked that he couldn't help but close his eyes and lead his neck to kill.

A cold breath invaded his neck, Yi Louji suddenly shivered, and couldn't help but open his eyes, only to see Mulan's big knife stop on his neck, and the blade was only a millimeter away from his neck.

"Stop it, Elo Ji has been captured, and those who surrender will not die!"

With Mulan's roar, the battle on the castle tower stopped, and the defenders all looked over and found that Mulan's knife stand was on Yi Louji's neck and their weapons were hanging down.

Yi Luoji's face turned pale, thinking of his family in Pingcheng, and he suddenly grabbed the big knife on his neck and was about to wipe his neck.

When Mulan saw it, she quickly put away her knife and kicked Yi Louji's chest, causing him to spurt out a mouthful of blood again.

"Bundle up!" Mulan let out a loud shout.

Immediately, several of his own soldiers stepped forward with ropes and tied Elo Ji strongly.

Hua Mulan turned to look at the defenders with a bloody broadsword, and shouted coldly: "Put down all your weapons and surrender, otherwise you will be killed!" ”

The siege soldiers shouted: "Put down your weapons, put down!" ”

With a "dang", one of the defenders dropped his weapon.

One after another, the defenders kept dropping their weapons, and soon there were no more defenders on the city wall to resist, and the original banner was lowered and a new banner was erected.

"The first, second, and third buildings have all taken them down and guarded them tightly! The fourth building stays behind, and the others follow me! ”

A group of defenders were escorted away, leaving a number of troops on the city wall, Hua Mulan took the remaining siege soldiers down the city wall to remove the stones blocking the city gate, opened the city gate, and the army outside the city quickly rushed to this side when they saw this.

Under the command and command of Mulan, the siege army quickly captured the other four sub-passes, and at dusk, the Wuzhou Pass was completely broken and the battle officially ended.

When it was dark, Tuoba Jian had already led the army into Wuzhou Pass, and he was very happy to try his best against Mulan in the lobby of the general's mansion, and waited until he captured Pingcheng to reward his merits.

"By the way, what about the Wuzhou guard General Yi Louji? Was he beheaded by Aiqing? Tuoba Jian suddenly remembered Yi Louji.

Hua Mulan replied: "Yi Lou Ji has been captured by his ministers and is being held in a prisoner camp at the moment!" ”

Tuoba Jian immediately ordered: "Send someone to bring Yi Louji!" ”

"Yes!"

Not long after, Yi Louji, who was tied up with all kinds of flowers, was pushed into the lobby by several soldiers.

After Yi Lou Ji was brought in, he didn't kneel down to Tuoba Jian to worship, Zong Ai shouted in his sharp voice: "Bold Yi Lou Ji, don't you kneel down to worship when you see Your Majesty the Emperor?" ”

Several soldiers immediately stepped forward to control Yi Lou Ji and wanted to press him down and kneel, but no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't make Yi Luo Ji kneel, and the four soldiers were so tired that they were out of breath.

He Duoluo stood up and hugged his fist to Tuoba Jian: "Your Majesty, Yi Lou Ji ignored His Majesty's authority, and led troops to resist the royal division and prevent His Majesty from rebelling, it is really bold, please behead him!" ”

The new general of the left chamber, Yanpu, stood up and hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal!" ”

The new right-wing general Tuobana said: "Your Majesty, Yi Lou Ji is good at defending the city, commanding troops, and has generals, and all the soldiers under his command are serving to death. ”

Hua Mulan also stood up and clenched her fists to intercede for Yi Lou Ji and said: "Your Majesty, King Gao Liang is reasonable, General Yi Luo Ji is not wrong, but each is his master!" The puppet emperor ascended the throne on his own in Pingcheng, and those who did not obey were killed, and the plant was very wide, and he would be spurned by the world and could not last long. The minister thinks that His Majesty has first ascended to the great treasure, and he should rule the world with benevolence and virtue, and he will be able to win the hearts of his subjects! ”

Tuoba Jian thought so, and immediately got up and walked behind Yi Louji to untie the rope for him.

At this point, Yi Lou Ji can no longer die to the end, he has been loyal to Tuoba Pi, as a courtier should do some duty, and then should also think about himself, so he knelt down and bowed to Tuoba Jianxing, expressing his willingness to die.

Tuoba Jian laughed, helped Yi Louji up, and ordered him to continue to serve as the general of Xizhong Lang, and led the original troops and horses as usual, and attacked Pingcheng with the army.

The army only rested in Wuzhou Pass for one day and then continued to drive to Pingcheng, and the next morning when Wuzhou Pass was breached, the news reached Pingcheng, and Pingcheng was in a panic.

It is only a hundred miles from Wuzhou Pass to Pingcheng, and it only takes two days at most for the army to march.

Tuoba Pi panicked, and on the one hand, he ordered General Ningbei and the Duke of Yuyang to command 15,000 troops to meet Tuoba Jian's army, and on the other hand, he made plans to withdraw from Pingcheng.

At this time, Pingcheng can send 10,000 troops to meet the limit is already the limit, Tuoba Pi also needs some soldiers and horses to protect himself, and 10,000 horses and Tuoba Jian's 60,000 horses to fight, in his opinion, the hope of victory is extremely slim, or to make plans early, this is what Shang Shuling Liu Jie and others suggested, Pingcheng can not be defended for a long time, and must find another place to stay.

At this moment, in the court, the ministers quarreled, and a group of Xianbei ministers, military generals and clan ministers led by Baba Song, thought that Pingcheng should be defended, and ordered the state and county assassins and Taishou to send troops to Qinwang; A group of ministers led by Du Chao, Li Shun, Zhang Song and others believed that Pingcheng could not be defended, and that the defense would be breached, and they should immediately withdraw to Beiping County or Licheng in order to make a comeback.

Tuoba Pi was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and the ministers below were divided into two factions and quarreled fiercely, and they quarreled for an hour, and no one obeyed anyone.

"Enough is enough, don't make any noise!" Tuoba Pi was grumpy and slapped the table and yelled.

The ministers in the main hall had to silence their voices and keep their mouths shut.

Tuoba Pi was out of breath, he knew that he had to make a choice now, he looked at Ba Ba Song and asked, "King of Beiping, how many more soldiers and horses can I mobilize?" ”

Ba Ba Song stood up and hugged his fists and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the guerrilla army was defeated when it fought with King Yangping in Jinling, and the establishment does not exist; The left guard was sent to 5,000 to guard the Wuzhou Pass, only 5,000 left, and another 10,000 leading troops together with 5,000 left guards have been taken away by the general of Ningbei to meet Tuoba Jian, and now there are only 3,000 tiger troops and 1,000 Wangshi troops left in the city to use; In addition, the Guanjin garrison under the jurisdiction of the three Zhonglang generals in the southeast and north is not far from Pingcheng, and it is unknown whether they are still obeying His Majesty's edict at this moment! ”

Tuoba Jian immediately issued an order: "Send an edict to the three lieutenant generals in the southeast and north, and order them to leave 300 people each to guard the pass, and lead all the other soldiers and horses to the east camp to assemble within two days!" ”

"Ba Ba Song, I gave you the former Tiger Army, and you are responsible for the security of the city!"

"Shang Shu ordered Liu Jie and the general Li Shun to take prisoners, I will give you a thousand tiger troops and a thousand Wangshi troops, and the two of you will arrange the retreat, load everything that can be taken away, and let the ministers and the families of the generals also do a good job of retreating, if the news of the defeat of the captains comes, everyone will immediately withdraw from Dongdaying to Beiping County! In order to win, I should personally march from the Eastern Camp to defeat Tuoba Jian, a traitor! ”

"In these two days, the secretaries must not panic, perform their duties, stabilize the situation of the court, and make the government and military orders smooth!"

All the ministers stood up together, clasped their fists and bowed down and agreed: "The ministers obey the order!" ”

Fifty miles east of Pingcheng, on the north bank of Zhouchuan water.

Tuoba Jian's army of more than 60,000 people met the army of captains who came to meet here.

The soldiers and horses of both sides set up a formation on the empty flat ground on the north bank of Zhouchuan River, a large number of war horses neighed, and countless flags fluttered.

A general rushed out of the opposite formation, and the man shouted in front of the two armies with a lance in his hand: "I am a captain, who dares to come and fight me to the death?" ”
