As night fell, the gates of Yecheng City were closed, and every house was closed, and the inside and outside of the city suddenly became very quiet.

But in the palace in the city, the lights are still bright.

Murong He, the king of Nanyan Luyang, was walking up and down the hall anxiously, and he turned his head from time to time to look outside the door, as if he was waiting for some important person.

It turned out that when Murong De was busy going south to grab territory, he did not forget to join forces with Wei to pit Hexi.

Before leaving Sizhou, he asked the king of Luyang and the general of the Fujun army, Murong He, to sit in Yecheng and take charge of all matters.

According to Murong De's secret advice, Murong He first sent a letter to the king of Bingzhou Zhenwei and made an appointment with the other party to hand over the time.

After pacifying the Hexi side, he sent someone to secretly inform the Wei State and asked the King of Wei to send troops to Yecheng in advance.

Right now, he was anxiously awaiting the arrival of the Wei army.

"What's going on? Why hasn't Wei Jun come yet? There won't be any surprises, right? ”

Murong He was worried and was always worried about being detected by the people of Hexi.

Just as he was waiting impatiently, he suddenly heard a sound of footsteps outside, and saw a henchman rushing over.

"Report to the general, there's news outside the city."

"Really? Quick, take Ben to see it. ”

At this time, twenty miles northeast of Yecheng, there was an army of 10,000 people, which was galloping towards Yecheng.

In the darkness of the night, the Wei army moved quickly, with 300 cavalry in the front and neat Wei infantry in the rear.

No one in the ranks spoke, all marching silently.

In the bright moonlight, the armor of the soldiers glowed with cold light, making the whole team look murderous.

It can be seen that this is the elite of the Wei army, which shows that Tuoba Jue is determined to win Yecheng.

If you look closely, you will find that this Wei army is all dressed in Yan army clothes.

Thanks to the fact that Wei captured many Yan army prisoners before, he was able to gather more than 10,000 sets of Yan army uniforms at once.

The general, Uncle Sun Jian, walked in the middle of the team, both apprehensive and excited.

said that he was worried because the opponent was very strong, and he was also the only opponent who made the Wei State nervous.

Although several years have passed since the defeat of Shuofang, it still deeply affects the entire Wei state.

Especially as Hexi gets stronger and stronger, it will always make the Wei people feel a rushing pressure.

The battle for Yecheng was a rare opportunity, and the Wei state was desperate to defeat the Hexi army.

Thinking of this, he looked back at the team and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

In order not to arouse the suspicion of the people of Hexi, he did not dare to bring too many people into Yecheng.

It is still difficult to rely on 10,000 people to hold Yecheng and buy time for the follow-up cavalry to encircle and annihilate the Hexi Army.

In addition to being apprehensive and uneasy, Shusun Jian couldn't help but feel a little excited at the thought of going to face off with the Hexi Army.

When the army came less than three miles away from Yecheng, Shusun Jian saw Murong He, who had been waiting impatiently.

It wasn't until he saw his uncle Sun Jian himself that Murong He breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't bother to greet his uncle and grandson Jian, and went directly to the Wei army team to check it out.

As soon as he took a few steps, Murong He said with a displeased face: "General Shusun, what's the matter with you?" ”

"What's wrong? What's wrong? "Uncle and grandson don't know why.

"Look at these soldiers, one is stronger than the other, and at first glance they are not my Yan army."

"It's still night, and when you are seen by those Hexi scouts during the day, you won't be seen through it at a glance?"

"Can't you?! Are the Hexi people so powerful? "Uncle Sun Jian didn't believe it.

"Believe it or not, anyway, I said what I should say, if it falls short in the end, don't blame me for not doing my best."

"Eh, eh, why did King Luyang say this? At present, Wei Yan is one, and he should work together. ”

Uncle Sun Jian hurriedly laughed and said, "It's just that it's too late to change people now." ”

"Alas, the matter has come to this, it can only be like this first, it is best that the Hexi scouts will be fooled."

"However, when you enter the city, you stay in the barracks, and don't go out at will."

"In addition, recently, in order to transfer supplies, there are always a different number of Yan troops, coming in and out of Yecheng."

"After the Wei army enters the city, I will do something to save myself from being seen by the people of Waihexi."

"If someone asks, you will say that there is a batch of property to be transported away in the city, so King Yan sent an elite to be responsible for escorting it."

"Please rest assured that King Luyang will be saved."

"Besides, did you do anything in Xiangguo and Handan?"

"General Tuoba Lie has been ordered to go south to Xiangguo, and Handan will wait until he takes Xiangguo before he acts."

"Shhh I'm afraid it's too late. ”

Uncle Sun Jian was shocked and hurriedly asked, "How do you say this?" ”

"General Shusun doesn't know that there are thousands of troops stationed in Fukou Pass in Hexi today, and it is only more than 50 miles away from Handan."

"This king is worried that once Xiangguo is lost, the Fukou garrison will definitely not stand idly by."

"As the northern gateway of Yecheng, Hexi will never watch Handan fall into the hands of your country, and they will definitely pounce on Handan in advance."

"That'...... Is there anything to stop the other party? ”

"Alas, it seems that this king has to make a trip himself, hoping to delay General Tuoba a little time to go south." Murong He sighed.

……

Xiangguo City has a long history, is the first city in the history of North China, and is known as "the first city of Yanzhao".

Because it is shaped like a cow, it is also known as "Lying Cow City".

During the reign of Later Zhao, Xiangguo City became famous all over the world.

At that time, Shile took Xiangguo as the foundation and gradually unified most of the northern regions and established the powerful Later Zhao Empire.

After the fall of Later Zhao, although Xiangguo gradually declined, it was still an important town that could not be ignored in the land of Hebei.

On this day, the originally quiet and peaceful Xiangguo suddenly became a mess, crying everywhere and calling for mothers, chickens and dogs jumping.

The four gates were wide open, but hundreds of people gathered at the south gate, scrambling to get out of the city and flee for their lives.

Most of the people fled out of the city in panic with their parents and children on their backs, carrying only the most valuable belongings and food.

In the chaos, more than a dozen carriages loaded with supplies accidentally blocked the city gates, and the flow of people out of the city was unusually slow.

All of a sudden, shouting and shouting came one after another.

Several young men hurriedly stepped forward to help, and everyone pulled the reins of the livestock desperately out of the city.

With the concerted efforts of everyone, the flow of people was finally dredged up a little bit.

After tossing and turning for about half an hour, more than a dozen carriages finally left the city without any problems.

Without the blockage of carriages, the flow of people suddenly poured out of the city like a tide......

Since a few days ago, the elite in Xiangguo City has been transferred south.

Today, there are only less than 2,000 veterans left in the city.

They were all locals, and they were reluctant to go south with the Xianbei people, but they were left behind as sacrifices by Murong De.

Their task was to hold Xiangguo, prevent the Wei army from moving south, and wait for the Hexi people to come and receive them.

But it was clear that Murong De had played a trick, and he informed the Tuoba people earlier.

When the Wei army's iron cavalry was about to march to the city, the Hexi army was still in sight.

Because when the Yan army retreated, the materials in the city were looted.

So much so that the defenders in the city could not even get together weapons and armor, and in the face of the Wei army marching south, the defenders knew that they were invincible, so they had to send representatives to surrender to the Wei army.

At this time, 10,000 Wei army iron horsemen had gathered under the city of Xiangguo, and the first person was Tuoba Lie, the general of the clan.

Knowing that the defenders in the city wanted to surrender, Tuoba Jue sneered and refused the defenders' invitation.

Puzzled, he asked, "Since the defenders have expressed their willingness to surrender, why is the general unwilling to accept it?" ”

"Didn't the King of Wei repeatedly strictly prohibit wanton killing? Isn't the general afraid of being scolded by King Wei? ”

"Humph! What do you know? ”

"The defenders in the city were originally soldiers of the Yan army, even if they didn't know the inside story of Wei Yan's alliance, they knew the details of the Yan army's retreat."

"If we let them go today, if someone in the middle escapes and is captured by Hexi, it may expose our army's intentions."

"Just in case, the defenders must be cut to the roots."

After speaking, Tuoba Lie shouted and ordered: "The army is in formation, ready to attack. ”

The Wei army quickly assembled and lined up under the city, pointing their spears and swords at the head of the city, frightening the defenders.

At the head of the city, the defenders looked at the Wei army under the city in fear.

Suddenly, several soldiers looked at each other, and without greeting others, they turned and ran towards the city.

As a result, a domino effect was triggered, and everyone else dropped their weapons and ran away.

After the Wei army under the city found that the city head was abnormal, they hurriedly went to report to Tuoba Lie.

"General, the defenders are on the run!"

Tuoba Lie laughed, and with a wave of his sword, he ordered: "Assault! ”

Suddenly, the shouting of killing was like thunder, and 10,000 iron horsemen rushed out and killed Xiangguo City.

By the time the Wei army rushed to the gate of the city, the defenders at the head of the city had already fled without a single left.

Soon, the sound of killing in Xiangguo City was remembered......
