Chapter 312: Siege
Ming Qingyan can only see the situation outside, but he can't see the situation inside. He wandered around the neighborhood for a long time, but he didn't see any movement, and left.
Anyway, as long as the Emperor of Beimeng would not suspect them and could not find them, they would be safe, and there was no need to risk any more.
When he went back, he took a look at the small courtyard where they had placed after they had stunned the soldiers of the Chengbei Battalion in the early morning.
The courtyard was empty and in shambles.
Ming easily understood that this place had been retaliated against by the Northern Mongolian soldiers, but they could not find any clues about them, because it was an abandoned courtyard that had been uninhabited for a long time.
Back at the restaurant, Ming Qingyan told Ning Shangmo what he saw, and after Ning Shangmo heard it, he knew that the Beimeng Emperor didn't know about their existence, and he didn't suspect them, so he couldn't help but feel at ease.
In this way, the rest of the matter was to inform Leng Qingrong to carry out a feint attack on the border city, and the warriors who had been contacted by the shopkeeper of the restaurant in the city also cooperated in the riots everywhere.
Ning Shangmo told Ming lightly about his plans, which was also a better supplement to the plan discussed with Tuoba Hongyu. Ming said that he had no objection and agreed with her decision.
After that, Ning Shangmo waited for news at the inn, if there was no accident, they decided to send someone to Qingcheng to deliver the letter the next day, so that Leng Qingrong could act as planned.
There was no movement for a day, and it was not until dusk that Tuoba Hongyu came to the restaurant and told them what had happened after they left the Beimeng Palace.
It turned out that Ning Shangmo and Ming lightly said that after the Northern Mongolian soldiers who were chasing them were stunned and fled. A group of soldiers also came to the front door, and they were intercepted and stunned by Ning Shangmo and others and placed them in a deserted courtyard in the Chengbei battalion detachment.
When Emperor Beimeng received a notification, he went to the door and saw that he was not wearing a military uniform, but a white middle coat, and he couldn't help but say angrily: "What is the situation with you? What about military uniforms? ”
When the captain of the Chengbei battalion heard this, he immediately knelt on the ground and told them what they had encountered on the road, saying that they did not know about it but were plotted and ambushed by others.
Only then did Emperor Beimeng understand why the eldest princess and his wife in Xiliang were robbed, and it turned out that the soldiers on duty in the palace today were all stolen and replaced.
In a fit of rage, he wanted to behead all the soldiers of the small detachment in the north of the city, if it wasn't for Tuoba Hongyu to stop them, those people would have died.
After that, the Emperor of Beimeng ordered Tuoba Hongyu to find out the truth and see who set up an ambush halfway to rescue the eldest princess of Xiliang and his wife.
Although Tuoba Hongyu agreed, on the surface, he was investigating, and even led people to search door to door, but he was just trying to show his father. He actually knew who it was, and they had discussed it last night, but of course he wouldn't say.
Emperor Beimeng was very nervous because of the rescue of the eldest princess of Xiliang, even in broad daylight, he felt unsure, afraid that someone would come in and murder him.
At lunchtime, after taking a bite, he said that someone had poisoned him and stopped eating it, and then said that the guards were fake, and asked people to quickly replace him.
Tuoba Hongyu immediately arranged for someone to replace the escort team for him, but he felt unsafe again, so he asked him to change it back. After tossing back and forth a few times, Tuoba Hongyu felt annoyed. But he didn't dare to show it, so he took the opportunity to transfer his people to the Northern Mongolian Emperor.
Emperor Beimeng was relieved at this time, he never thought that it would be so in the heart of Tuoba Hongyu and provide convenience for his future actions.
Hearing this news, Ning Shangmo and Ming Qingyan were very happy, and said loudly: "In this way, it will be more convenient for you to act." ”
Tuoba Hongyu nodded, and said a little sadly, "I just feel a little sorry for my father." ”
Ning Shangmo hurriedly comforted him and said, "One day he will understand your distress." ”
"We will cooperate with your actions to launch a feint, and the people of the border city will riot everywhere. In this way, the border city will be in chaos. And a few of us will also infiltrate the major Beimeng camps and cast **, causing temporary paralysis of the troops. In this way, your father will fall into a state of panic and will not be able to fight back, so you take the opportunity to save your father and lead his army to escape from the city and return to your northern Mongolian territory. So it's not you who are holding your father hostage, but saving him, do you think it's good? Ming said softly.
This is the result of Ning Shangmo's discussion with him, which is more perfect than what they discussed that day, and their cooperation everywhere will allow Tuoba Hongyu to get rid of the crime of bullying the king committed below, become a rescuer, and escape back to Beimeng with the Emperor of Beimeng.
Emperor Beimeng was angry and would only blame him for his command error, and he did not make the last stubborn resistance when he withdrew from the important border city, and he would definitely not cure the crime of bullying the king, so as to protect him.
And the alliance cooperation between them is something that no one will know, just a secret from a few of their insiders.
Tuoba Hongyu was very moved to see that they had designed the plan in such detail, "Thank you two for your comprehensive plan and saving me." ”
Ning Shangmo said with a smile: "We are helping each other, for you and for us, as long as there is a truce and each defends its own territory, it will be our success and the blessing of the people of the two countries." ”
Tuoba Hongyu nodded, discussed the time of action with them, and went back.
After that, Ning Shangmo would go to that small courtyard every day to see the eldest princess and his wife in Xiliang, and two days later, sure enough, the injuries on Qin Zhigang's body were all healed, and there were no scars left at all. The eldest princess took fetal pills for two days, and the fetus was stable.
So they happily returned to the restaurant and decided to join in their action.
Ning Shangmo had already sent someone to Qingcheng to communicate with Leng Qingrong and tell him the time of the feint, and then the shopkeeper of the restaurant here also contacted the border city warriors, just waiting for the action to begin.
On this side, the ultramarines are waiting for action excitedly, but the Beimeng Emperor's side is having a very difficult time, and various situations will happen every day, making him a little worried and suspicious all day long.
Tuoba Hongyu had no choice but to stay by his side all day long, and took the opportunity to persuade him to make peace with Da Ling, and each returned to its original territory and was friendly and neighborly.
Although the Emperor of Beimeng was emaciated, he still fantasized about turning the situation around. After all, it has been his dream for many years to capture the Great Ling Imperial City and turn it into the Beimeng Royal Court. I have been preparing for this, but now I finally sent troops, but I don't want to send a disadvantage, the Daling army seems to be inferior to the Northern Mongolian Iron Cavalry, but they are good at using troops, but they are in an advantageous position.
This made the Northern Mongolian Emperor very annoyed, but he was helpless. Just like a small Qingcheng, they obviously have an advantage, but they can't attack it for a long time, so they can't afford to lose their troops.
Even so, the Emperor of the Northern Mongols was still unwilling to admit his defeat, and he longed for a sudden turnaround, as long as he could hold on.
Therefore, he was very disgusted by Tuoba Hongyu's persuasion, and at this time he needed encouragement rather than a blow. He was already very entangled, how could he prevent others from adding fuel to the fire and making him even more desperate about the situation?
So, he shouted angrily: "If you are afraid of death, go back to the Beimeng royal court and hide, I don't blame you." ”
Tuoba Hongyu had to apologize to Emperor Beimeng, saying that he was not afraid of death, but was just worried about the safety of his father. He even offered to let the Northern Mongolian Emperor return to the Northern Mongolian royal court, and he stayed to continue the fight.
Emperor Beimeng naturally would not agree, he once vowed to personally lead the army, set foot on the land of Daling, and attack the imperial city of Daling, and now he naturally does not want to withdraw his troops and truce, unless it is really the end of the road.
Tuoba Hongyu couldn't convince the Northern Mongolian Emperor, so he gave up persuasion, anyway, the plan was about to be implemented, he was just creating a misleading atmosphere for the Northern Mongolian Emperor.
Emperor Beimeng still trembled every day, and he was also suspicious of the guards around him, and sometimes he didn't trust Tuoba Hongyu. So much so that he couldn't eat and sleep well and fell ill again.
Seeing his old, haggard and sick appearance, Tuoba Hongyu was very distressed and eagerly waited for the start of the plan.
On this day, early in the morning, Leng Qingrong personally led the Daling army to attack the border city.
They did not call for a direct attack on the city, and the offensive was very fierce.
The unprepared Northern Mongolian army looked like a divine soldier descending from the sky, and was terrified.
The Emperor of Northern Mongolia had to report that the Daling army was attacking the city, and he did not care about his illness and was not exhausted, so he personally went to the city gate to supervise the battle.
But he didn't want to encounter an ambush by the warriors of the border city on the road, and he almost died.
Only then did he know that when the Daling army was attacking the city, the people of the border city also took the opportunity to riot everywhere to counterattack the Northern Mongolian army, which could be described as internal and external troubles for a while. If you can take care of this end and can't take care of the other end, the situation is very critical.
In the panic, someone came to report that the north gate would not be able to be guarded.
You must know that the north gate is the main gate of the border city, and it can be said to be the most heavily defended gate.
The Daling army avoided the other three city gates where the opening hand was relatively weak, and directly attacked the north gate with the strongest defense, which can be described as full of confidence, which was also the biggest provocation to the Northern Mongolian army.
Therefore, when the Emperor of Beimeng heard that the north gate was facing loss, he immediately panicked, and he didn't care about rectifying the riots in the city, so he concentrated his forces to defend the north gate. If the north gate is lost, the other three gates will be useless.
The riots in the city continued, leaving the Northern Mongol army under attack on the back, and the Northern Mongol emperor had no choice but to dedicate another part of his forces to suppress the riots. However, the people of the border city attacked it en masse, and the Daling army should cooperate with the outside world, and the Northern Mongolian army was very passive, suffering from the enemy on its back, and was anxious.
Looking at such a chaotic situation, Emperor Beimeng lamented: "In this battle, I am afraid that the border city will be lost." ”
Tuoba Hongyu heard that he was about to take the opportunity to speak, but unexpectedly, the Emperor of Beimeng waved his hand and shouted: "Give me a desperate rush forward, if anyone dares to retreat, it will not matter if he dares to retreat." ”
Tuoba Hongyu had no choice but to silence and did not dare to speak again.
Because it was a feint, although the Daling army attacked strongly, it did not harm the lives of the Northern Mongolian soldiers, so the casualties were not large. It's just that the Northern Mongolian soldiers were suppressed like a tide and were a little out of breath.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Tuoba Hongyu sent a signal to act.
Then, he took out the ** that Ning Shangmo gave him, and took advantage of the Beimeng Emperor to sprinkle it on his side.
As a result, the Northern Mongolian Emperor fainted.
