Just when Hans's cavalry division was victorious, Qin Dong had already led the main force of the Western Expeditionary Army to the city of Lyon again, and the Burgundian king Gundorbad was almost paralyzed, should you be so ruthless, again? The Burgundian people in the entire city of Lyon were panicked, but fortunately, at the critical moment, the Burgundian general guarding the city gate ordered the soldiers to close the city in time, and blocked the more than 1,000 Burgundians outside the city who had not yet had time to enter the city and Qin Dong's army outside the west city gate.

The more than 1,000 Burgundians who were blocked outside the city gate were captured by Qin Dong's army, Qin Dong did not play the trick of killing those Burgundians under the city gate, if it was Attila, he would definitely kill these more than 1,000 Burgundians to deter the defenders and people in the city, but Qin Dong knew very well that this method could no longer play any other role except to provoke all the Burgundians in the city to resist desperately.

Qin Dong is not in a hurry to attack the city, he has already arranged for the chess pieces to sneak into the city and hide, just wait for the agreed time to come, those chess pieces that have mixed into the city will come out to snatch the city gate, and then it is the time to break the city of Lyon, and now he is ordering the army to settle down, the army is divided into three groups, camped in three positions outside the west city gate, the east city gate and the north city gate, and the south of the city of Lyon is the confluence of the Rhône and the Saône, this time Qin Dong is determined to wipe out the entire Burgundian royal family.

The next day, the army entered a state of rest, and Qin Dong did not order the siege of the city, but only sent a number of cavalry squads to run non-stop in the direction of the three city gates from time to time, causing tension to the Burgundian defenders in the city.

The Burgundian king Gundobad never expected that Qin Dong would lead a large army to kill a horse gun, and the nerves in the city that had been relaxed by the withdrawal of Qin Dong's army a few days ago became tense again. The atmosphere was very tense and solemn.

In the royal palace of the city, Gundorbad is asking his old friend Bishop Jon of Venice for advice on how to deal with the current crisis situation in Lyon. My friend, this time the trouble is really big, I didn't expect Qin Dong to be so cunning, he actually pretended to retreat, let us believe it, the coalition army also fell apart because of their sudden withdrawal, and he led the army to kill again. What can I do now? There is no foreign aid. No matter how strong the city of Lyon is, it won't last long! ”

Jon didn't expect things to turn out as they were, and he remembered that a friend had come from the south on a fast horse two days ago. He told him that on the road he had seen an army of 30,000 Franks, Saxons, and Sarmatians coming in the direction of Lyon, and he had not received confirmation of this information, but he believed that the friend was not a man of nonsense. So that news must be true. So he comforted: "Your Majesty the king don't need to panic, the day before yesterday a friend came to tell me a news, the Sarri tribe of the Faranians and the Saxons and Sarmatians, a total of 30,000 troops, are coming in the direction of Lyon, presumably to return home from Lyon, if this news is true, then we will be saved, we just need to send someone out of the city secretly to ask for the leader of the 30,000 army, and let them lead the army to attack the army of Qindong from behind." Then we sent a large army out of the city, and we were caught between the two sides. The army of Qin Dong is bound to be defeated, if this news is true, then the 30,000 friendly troops should have arrived in Vieira! ”

Gundorbad was pleasantly surprised, but some of them couldn't believe that this was true, and hurriedly asked, "Bishop, is this—is this true?" Really thirty thousand Franks, Saxons and Sarmatians came in the direction of Lyon? ”

Jon pretended to be calm, in fact, he himself didn't dare to believe the news, but in order to stabilize Gundobard's confidence, Jean could only stubbornly say: "Your Majesty, I believe in the character of my friend, he should not tell lies!" ”

"That's good, that's good, as long as there is foreign aid, we Burgundians have the determination to stick to it!" Gundobad swore by it.

Thinking that the Huns army was divided into two routes, all the way west to plunder the Paris area, one route was led by Attila himself to attack Orleans, but the walls of Orleans were tall and thick, it was difficult to break through, the Romans held on to Orleans for a long time, until Aetius contacted many barbarian armies to form a coalition of five or six hundred thousand troops approaching Orleans, Attila was full of unwillingness to give up and continue to attack Orleans, and ordered the Hun troops that had plundered all over Gaul to assemble in the plains near Chalon. Aetius led a large army to follow, and the two armies finally met in the vast field near Châlon-sur-Marne, and each set up for a decisive battle. If it weren't for the Roman garrison of Orleans, which gave Aetius time to run and lobby the barbarians to form an alliance against the Huns, there would have been no great war in history.

Seeing this, the Venice bishop said: "Your Majesty, what we have to do now is to actively organize the defense, and then send someone out of the city secretly to tell the leader of the 30,000-strong army about the situation here, so that they can cooperate with us to flank the army of the Hu Empire outside the city!" ”

After Jon's reminder, Gundobad's brain also came to his senses, patted his head and said, "Yes, yes, I was in a big mess just now, and I almost delayed the big event, so I'll arrange it!" ”

Outside the West City Gate, the camp of Qindong, the big tent of the Chinese army.

A messenger galloped on a fast horse and stopped outside the tent, and ran into the tent to report: "Your Majesty, General Hans ordered the villain to report that the army had successfully ambushed the Franks, Saxons and Sarmatians yesterday afternoon with 30,000 troops, killed more than 10,000 people, and captured more than 13,000 people, and during the battle of Hilderick, the leader of the Frankish Sali tribe, the Saxon chief and the Queen of Sarmatia led the remnants of all the people to surrender, and now General Hans is leading a large army to escort the captives back on the way."

"Bang" Qin Dong slapped the desk and got up happily when he heard this: "Okay, now we can attack Leon with peace of mind!" Go down and rest."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Qin Dong called Agul and asked, "Have you contacted the people in the city?" Is there a code? ”

Agul said: "Your Majesty, we have already contacted us, and we have agreed to capture the city gate the night after tomorrow, and after they succeed, they will light a torch at the city gate and wave it, and after we see the torch waving, we can order the army to attack the city directly!" ”

Qin Dong nodded and said: "Very good, pass the order, continue to rest for the next two days, but arrange personnel to go to the city wall to make a noise, and don't let the people in the city be idle, otherwise it will arouse their suspicion!" ”

"Understood!"

For the next two days, Qin Dong's army had been in a state of rest, but on the surface, he sent a part of his army to walk under the city walls from time to time every day, scaring the defenders and people in the city, and making them tense all the time.

However, although the army of Qindong besieged the entire city of Lyon like an iron barrel, the people arranged by Gundorbad still escaped from the river to the south and went south to report the news, but unfortunately the messenger saw the triumphant Hans cavalry army and the dejected captives, but he was also the clever messenger, and after seeing this situation, he immediately continued to the south, and met in Valence with Recimir and Egidious, who were about to return with their army.

Rehymir and Egidious were shocked when they heard the messenger's account, it was clear that Qin Dong's cunning exceeded all of their expectations, and no one would have thought that Qin Dong's previous withdrawal was a pretend, and the real purpose was to let their coalition dissolve on its own, and then Qin Dong would kill him again.

"It's over, Leon is finished, Burgundy is finished, and Hildrik, who is about to return from Lyon, is also finished with their army of 30,000!" Egidious said after a long silence that he was no worse than Richmir in terms of military prowess, and that he was a local warlord, and that the whole of Gaul was basically under his control, and that if the Kingdom of Burgundy was destroyed, his province of Gaul would face the armies of the Hu Empire.

Although Li Ximir is a warlord with ulterior ambitions, but under the front of the army of the Hu Empire, he also understands that if Gaul is not guaranteed, the Western Roman Empire is not guaranteed, then his ambition will not be realized, this is simply a glory and a loss, if you want to achieve your goal, the first thing is to keep Gaul and the Western Roman Empire, his face changed several times and then said: "Now the army of the Visigothic Kingdom should not have gone too far, and the army of the Alans should be about the same, if you send fast horses, It should be possible to intercept them in the Gallic province! ”

Egidious asked, "Does the general mean to get them back again, and then we will unite again against the great army of the Hu Empire?" But when you had a bad time with them the other day, would Theodoric II and Sanjiban the King of Alain buy it? ”

Li Ximir sighed: "I believe they should understand that neither of our military forces alone can stop the Hu Empire's troops, and only by joining forces can we compete with them!" If they can lead their army back to form an alliance with us again, I am willing to apologize to them! ”

Pope Leo I, who was standing next to him, stepped forward and said, "Can the words of the general count?" If I go and persuade them to come back, will the general be able to fulfill your promise? ”

Lehymir was also a decisive man, and he drew his sword and split the table in two with a single sword, and said, "If I don't apologize to them, it's like this table!" ”

"Okay, the general is so courageous!" Leo I appreciated, and said: "This matter is left to me, if according to the inference of General Egidious, the Kingdom of Burgundy will definitely not be able to be saved, since Qin Dong is so cunning, he must have a trick to capture the city of Lyon, it is useless for us to raise a large army now, it is better to gather a large army here, in addition to the Visigothic Kingdom and the Alans, I also have to go to the east to meet the Ostrogothic leader Diordemir and the leader of Gepid Ardarik, they have long turned their faces with the Hu Empire, and they hate each other deeply, Presumably they wouldn't refuse to send a large army over to join the coalition!
