On the twelfth of September, Bailiyan gradually lost patience and prepared to attack the west bank of the Norlanton River on all fronts, completely eliminating Yabuk's more than 100,000 men. On 15 September, the day before the final armistice, Yabuk himself crossed the river and went to the east bank of Manibaça to explain to Bailiyan and deliver the letter from Temir.

"As long as Your Excellency promises not to plunder our towns and villages along the way, the Commander of the Temir Legion gives me full authority to release all your personnel and guarantee that there will be no attacks."

"But except for Posong City, is it?" Bai Liyan asked.

"Yes, you may enter the city, but you may not slaughter or plunder, and I need your handwriting as a guarantee."

"Then how can you guarantee that the ransom and what you need will not be the same as before!"

"The commander of the Temir Legion will raise it as soon as possible, and I ask your Excellency to give us a little time."

"Yes, I would have thought that the credibility of your Temir Legion Commander was indeed much more effective than that of Lord Mooney, so I believe you this time. Please wait, Ben will repair the book for you immediately. ”

Bai Liyan didn't think that Temir would play any tricks, compared to Mooney, Temir did not have the ability and strength to do so. He has been defeated in several encounters, and he will not risk provoking himself to repeat it again.

He handed the letter to Yabuk, and Bailiyan sent him out of the camp as a gift. No one raised any objections to Bai Liyan's arbitrariness during the meeting, and as soon as Yabuke left, Sikong Nan said worriedly:

"General, although the current overall situation is favorable to our army, we should not take it lightly."

"What Sikong said is reasonable, hundreds of thousands of our army are going east, and the march is slow, if they are not good for our army, the consequences will be unimaginable." Su Hong said.

Bai Liyan stood up, paced to the center of the big tent and said to the two of them:

"Temir is a person, he still knows something, and he will not go back on the current situation. Secondly, they are exhausted and generally war-weary, and they are no longer able to continue to fight, and if our army wants to destroy their living forces, it will be a matter of this year and next year.

After that, they will have no strength to stop the pace of our army, and their entire outside the pass will be exposed to our army's front, and their outside the pass is now a void, except for the huge city wall, which is still somewhat useful, and is completely powerless to prevent our army from attacking its own territory.

Of course, this is not in the immediate interests of our army, so unless it is compelled to do so, Temir will never dare to start a war again.

As for these rats in Posong City, they are just insignificant bed bugs. In any world, in any vassal state, this kind of scum is not the culprit of the disaster to the country and the people, and it is still somewhat useful to keep it. This afternoon, we will immediately send people to repair the pontoon bridge, and tomorrow we will prepare to cross the river. ”

"Then there are still more than 200,000 Central Plains residents in Kilonas and Montina, how to deal with them?" South Sikong Road.

"Summons Bai He, let him move the Montina people to Kelownas, and Lu Gao will set up a pontoon bridge in Kelownas to cross the river, and then march east to join our army."

"But the last general is still worried that the troops will be divided into two places, and if there is a mistake, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"Rest assured, hundreds of thousands of our army crossed the river, and more than 100,000 Yabuk will inevitably accompany them, and most of its main forces are staring at our army, and it is difficult to divide how many soldiers and horses to monitor Lu Gao and Bai He. At that time, we will gather all the cavalry, and even if the combat strength is weak, we can crush Yabuk's infantry even if we use war horses to crush him. ”

Yabuk was all infantry troops, mainly recruits and auxiliaries, and the veterans and the Legion of Honor had suffered heavy losses in three battles last winter and in recent years, and were no longer a threat.

Of course, there are not many veterans in Bailiyan's hands, and the rest are all new annexes, and their combat power is not very strong, but the number is twice that of Yabuk, and the number of cavalry is 90,000, and the morale is unprecedentedly high.

Sikong Nan was worried that the army would drag hundreds of thousands of people to move slowly, and there would be changes halfway, which was actually a bit redundant.

Of course, Sikong Nan was most likely frightened by Jin Xuedi's ability to go back on his word. Once I was bitten by a snake, I was afraid of the well rope for ten years, and when the truce came, I felt a little uncomfortable.

In the afternoon of the same day, the coalition forces built a bridge on the east bank and Yabuk on the west bank, and the two ends of the river were connected and connected before dark. Yabuke proposed to add a pontoon bridge to facilitate access, but Bailiyan refused.

The addition of pontoon bridges can indeed facilitate the passage of the road, and in the same way, as long as one pontoon bridge has an accident, the other pontoon bridges will suffer, and it will be impossible to take into account the situation of all parties at that time, and it is difficult to coordinate and command in a unified manner.

On the night of the pontoon bridge, the coalition forces crossed 5,000 soldiers to take over the bridgehead on the west bank. By the twenty-first day of September, hundreds of thousands of men, along with horses and heavy animals, had passed through the east bank of Manibasa, with Yabuuk's army closely following and watching.

On the twenty-seventh day of September, Lu Gao and Bai He met Bailiyan west of the city of Bernilddo. Hundreds of thousands of troops of the two armies advanced eastward, only walking more than 30 miles a day, and it was Yabuk who was in a hurry.

The coalition forces walked too slowly, and it was clearly said along the way that they would not allow looting and killing, in fact, Bailiyan repeatedly ordered that the robbery and robbery were still prohibited after dark.

The people of the Central Plains gathered in groups to "fight with people", looting and even killing nearby villagers, some purely for revenge.

Yabuke protested repeatedly, and Bai Liyan said that there was nothing he could do, after all, hundreds of thousands of displaced people, not hundreds of thousands of troops, could not be controlled.

Two days later, the navy passed by, overloaded with 110,000 women and children, and the speed of the march increased, but it was still far away from Posong City.

On the second day of October, a not-so-good, not-so-bad news reached Po Song, and after Mooney's defeat in May, the news was sent to the south, and Brendo's reply reached Temir at the end of September, and then to Po Song and Yabuk.

Because the Qianyue Mountain coalition forces did not know much about the situation outside the pass, after the peace talks in early March, Brenduo's sincerity was still not seen in June, so after besieging Tiannan Pass, they had to fight another battle before the autumn and drive Brenduo to Tianshu.

Brendo learned that Mooney was defeated after Bailiyan became bigger, and was forced to make concessions under pressure from the front, agreeing to return to the north of the Central Plains outside the Guan.

However, by the time the edict was delivered to the south, the reality had changed radically from May due to the lag in the transmission of information. The edict did not mention any ransom, and in fact Bailiyan did not offer a ransom in May or June. When the edict was delivered to Posong City, Kabias refused to pay the ransom agreement reached between Gudappa and Bailiyan according to the edict, and Bailiyan did not believe it.

Where did Bailiyan eat his set, so he saluted first and then soldiers, and asked Yabuke to send someone to collect the money, but Kabias didn't give it, this is a toast and don't eat and drink, Bailiyan sent Yuke to urge again, but there was still no result.

On the fifth day of the first month of October, the army arrived less than 200 miles away from Posong City, and Baili Yan personally led 150,000 troops and horses to attack Posong City and surrounded it.

"Jiang Jie, send someone to General Ben to call the battle, and let that bastard from Kabias come out!"

"No!"

At this time, Su Hong said:

"General, we really want to attack the city, in case we can't attack it for a long time, what if they backtrack and stab us in the back?"

"Of course not. You don't look at it, these new annexes are already apes, and there are a few who want to fight hard. ”

"If we don't attack the city, they won't open the city gate for us."

"After dark tonight, set up the camp a hundred steps outside the city gate, dig the tunnel under the city gate overnight, and blow it up."

"But it's so close that even bows and arrows can reach us, isn't that right?"

"If they dare to do it, they just blow it up. Go, get me Yabuk. ”

"No!"

After the advent of firearms, the city gate almost no longer had a defensive function, and the function of the city gate could be easily removed by shelling or blasting.

At this time, the city of Posong was already in chaos, and Mooney, who was under house arrest, was in a terrible mood, and his pale face was bloodless.

"Norenga, how is the Municipal Palace?"

"What else, Kabias, this bastard, in the name of His Majesty, swore to defend Posong City to the death in the Municipal Palace, and there is no more shameless bastard in the world than him."

"Ahem...... He was right, His Majesty did not know about the ransom, and the edict did not mention it. ”

"Your Excellency, how do you speak for this dog mongrel?"

"I'm not speaking for him, I'm feeling sorry for him...... Go, help me out. ”

"Your Excellency, there are city guards outside, and we can't get out."

"I'm not sick enough to be useless, help me out......"

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

Norengar summons the guards and escorts Mooney out. The outside of the hospital is heavily guarded, and hundreds of city defense troops have blocked the inside and outside. As soon as he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he was blocked by a team of city defense troops:

"Your Excellency Mooney, the Archon of Kabias has an order, you cannot leave this palace for half a step, please return immediately, and do not embarrass us."

As soon as the words fell, Norenga became angry:

"Presumptuous, dare to be rude to Your Excellency, and don't dodge!"

"I'm sorry Captain Norlengaard, this is an order from the Archon, and we can't obey it." The captain said.

Norenga drew his sword and scolded:

"Article 27 of the military law, the following crimes are the same as rebellion, the commander of the Mooney Legion is still the highest military and political governor of Po Song Province, and the crime of placing Your Excellency under house arrest in Kabias cannot be punished, do you want to rebel!"

"Please calm your anger, the head of the regiment, I will forgive you."

"You're looking for death!"

Norenga's eyes were about to crack and he was about to stab him to death with a sword, but Mooney grabbed his hand and said in a hoarse voice:

"Stop......"

"Your Excellency, they deceive people too much!"

"Stand down first!"

"Alas......"

Norenga put away his saber and took a step back, and Mooney stepped forward and said:

"Ladies and gentlemen, the northerners have already arrived in the city, and I can tell you that they will not attack the city, but there are still hundreds of thousands of our people around Posong City, and the northerners will kill them. If you don't want to see your siblings slaughtered, think about whose orders you should obey. ”

"But we have been defeated again and again, what's the use of not being able to hold Posong City!" The captain asked rhetorically.

"No, you are wrong, Your Majesty's edict of armistice has been issued, and the northerners want gold and silver, a way to return to the north, and whoever stands in their way is their enemy. Kabias is willing to kidnap entire cities for his own benefit, and if you don't want to see your parents and brothers die under the butcher's knife, now is the time for you to make the right choice. ”

"Alas...... All right! ”

Mooney moved with emotion and reason, and finally told the guards to let him go.
