The time is in September, although it has entered autumn, but the climate is still a little hot, and the Rong coalition army that has just received military rations has also opened from outside the pass.

On the other hand, the forbidden army in Kyoto, although Yun Bi has been urgently expanding the army during this time, the few military rations are also destined to be impossible to recruit through normal means, and more are still strong.

The people in the Zhili area complained, but Yun Bi didn't care, and all he thought about was how to stop the Rong clan.

Yun Bi had already sent letters to all parts of the northern border, but no force was willing to lend a helping hand except Xiao Jiu.

In the big tent of the forbidden army in Kyoto City, Yun Bi sat on the main seat and sank into the water.

"Have all the people from Yangcheng County arrived?"

As Yun Bi asked out loud, a man dressed as a civil official stepped forward and whispered a few words before Yun Bi nodded slowly.

Now that the Rong army has set out, he no longer expects other allies to come to the battle, and can only hope that this time he will be able to survive the difficulties as before.

Just when the forbidden army of Zhili began to deploy fortifications in full swing, different voices also appeared among the Rong coalition forces far away in Huya Pass.

……

Huya Pass, Rong military camp.

In a side tent in the northwest corner of the barracks, several generals dressed as Rong clans gathered together with frowns and discussed in a low voice.

"This time, Zong Yu is bent on going his own way, if he can't win with one blow, I'm afraid that those Great Xia people in the six border states will make trouble, you must know that their number is much more than ours."

An older man whispered, his tone not worrying, and this remark also attracted the echo of the others.

"Yes, there are already large-scale mountain bandits in Daxia over there in Jinzhou, and now my Rong army is in the pass, and it will be difficult to clean up in the end if you let it go."

The older man finished speaking, and a young man added.

The people in the tent began to talk about each other, and when they finally calmed down, the atmosphere became a little dull.

In the end, it was the older man who took the lead in breaking the embarrassment and said unaudibly: "If Zong Yu can't return to Huya Pass, we can naturally return to Liuzhou with soldiers." ”

As soon as these words came out, the silent crowd began to look at each other with different faces, and there was a little timidity in their eyes.

It's a direction they've never thought of, but it seems to be the only way to do it right now.

Seeing that the situation was silent, the leading man cleared his throat, coughed twice, and continued.

In the past two years, Zong Yu has relied on his military exploits to become the leader of the grassland alliance, and the status of the black wolf tribe has also risen, and the boat has begun to become domineering. But the grassland is not his Zong Yu alone, we all have a share, and if Zong Yu is not in the pass, no one will say anything, because this is all Zong Yu's own fault. ”

As soon as the words fell, a middle-aged man retorted: "But if this is the case, the grassland will be divided again, have you forgotten how Great Xia lost the country?" ”

As soon as these words came out, many people began to hesitate again, only the old man shook his head slowly, with a wry smile on his lips.

"But if Zong Yu and his Black Wolf Country continue to grow, one day our tribe will be removed from the grassland."

After the old man finished speaking, the expressions of everyone present became solemn, and their faces were frighteningly cold.

Although these words may sound ugly, they are indisputable facts, which is why everyone is here today.

Everyone present was a military general from a small tribe, and they were more or less dissatisfied with Zong Yu.

They knew very well in their hearts that according to the current trend, if the Rong coalition could really enter the Central Plains, Zong Yu's power would inevitably be in full swing.

At that time, the ambitious Zong Yu will inevitably integrate the various tribes of the grassland Rong tribe, and those small tribes will be ruthlessly annexed, and their names will be completely erased.

These are all unacceptable to them, so the contradictions that have accumulated with the Black Wolf Tribe in the past also erupted at this moment.

Seeing that some people couldn't make up their minds, the older man continued to follow the temptation, "Those big families in the six states are no longer willing to support Zong Yu to go south, they are only afraid of Zong Yu, and they are worried that they will turn around and clean them up after entering the Central Plains, so they have no choice." ”

Sure enough, the middle-aged man's words quickly took effect, and the eyes of all the generals in the camp became firm.

Ten days later, the Rong army marching from Huya Pass entered Naoli and swept along the road to Kyoto.

In order to mobilize troops for a decisive battle, Yun Bi had already concentrated all the soldiers of the counties under his jurisdiction in Kyoto City to prepare for a backwater battle.

The people of the Zhili area became outcasts at this time, and once again became the playthings of the Rong tribe.

With the experience of the last attack on Zhili, the Rong army from outside the pass was scattered in the counties under its jurisdiction to plunder, which directly caused this once prosperous land to completely wither, and there was no longer any vitality in the past.

Faced with such a situation, the forbidden army in Kyoto Castle still did not move like an ostrich with its head buried in the sand.

On the castle tower of Kyoto City, Yun Bi, who was dressed in armor, looked at the thousands of heads under his feet, and felt inexplicable emotion in his heart.

These people were all building fortifications, and many of them were forcibly pulled, so they were not motivated at this time, and only worked hard for a while when the overseer's whip was drawn.

"General Jin, the soldiers and horses you brought are still stationed outside Kyoto, if Kyoto can't be defended, it won't have much impact if you have more."

Yun Bi patted Jin Zi's shoulder seriously, and said in a calm tone, while Jin Zi frowned when he heard this.

"General Yun doesn't look down on our Yangcheng soldiers?"

Listening to Jin Zi's questioning, Yun Bi smiled slightly and did not speak immediately, but pointed to the empty field in the distance meaningfully.

"The forbidden army has been locked in a cage at this time, and if you squeeze into this cage, there is a risk of annihilation at any time."

Yun Bi's move was actually for Xiao Jiu's sake for his Yangcheng soldiers, after all, if Kyoto was lost, the Yangcheng army with them staying in Kyoto City would become a turtle in an urn, and they couldn't run away if they wanted to.

It's better to completely scatter these Yangcheng soldiers brought by the gold, and be ready to give the other party a fatal blow at any time.

After a simple explanation, Kaneko lowered his head and thought for a while, and finally went back to prepare to mobilize all his generals to set off for Longming Mountain, which was not far from the city of Beijing.

On Longming Mountain, Jin Zi is mobilizing the newly harvested soldiers before the battle.

The soldiers brought out by Jin Zi were all local soldiers of Yangcheng County, so their loyalty and fighting qualities were not comparable to those temporarily recruited forbidden troops.

Today's Zhili has not much population, and there are not many young people left in such a toss.

However, even if this withered land is hot, Xiao Jiu will not give it to the Rong clan.

In addition to the basic feelings of family and country, Xiao Jiu can keenly feel that today's Rong people are no longer comparable to the past, they have greater ambitions, and even want to swallow the entire Central Plains directly.

Moreover, according to the current situation in the north, the warlords everywhere are busy fighting in their nests, and they have no time to take care of the dying forbidden army in Kyoto.

If the forbidden army falls, Xiao Jiu's actions in the Chamber of Commerce that he has been operating in Zhili for a long time will also come to naught.

Therefore, the current Xiao Jiu and Yun Bi in Kyoto are both parties whose interests are bound, and they are doing their best to protect both parties.

On Longming Mountain today, everything Jin Zi said is also the truth, and at the same time, he is still instilling unity in these soldiers.

According to Jinzi's plan, now Yunbi let them and his group nest in Longming Mountain, they must be waiting for the decisive battle of Kyoto City, so that Jinzi's Yangcheng County suddenly came out with a horse gun.

But Jin Zi thinks more and has more ambitions, and he thinks about how to assassinate Zong Yu.

It is easy to get the news through the inside line, and now Zong Yu, the leader of the Rong coalition army, has a lot of influence outside the pass, and even the previous Rong actions were led by him.

If Zong Yu can be killed or captured, it will be tantamount to removing an arm of the Rong clan, and the leaderless Rong clan is easier to be co-opted or attacked.

For three days, Kaneko and his Yangcheng soldiers were all training day and night, and the Rong coalition army also arrived outside the city of Kyoto.

On the tower of Kyoto City, Yun Bi looked at Zong Yu on horseback from a distance with a cold gaze.

The two groups of people collided, Yun Bi was holding the awakening of death and life, and Zong Yu was also not having a good time.

Although Zong Yu had a lot of power in his hands as the leader of the Rong Alliance, he knew that if he could not break through Kyoto City within the expected time, his position would probably not be maintained.

This time he went south, Zong Yu bet on all his prestige, even the Black Wolf Country, just to win a chance to enter the Central Plains.

Now that the opportunity has come, as long as Zong Yu takes Kyoto City, his position will only become more and more stable, and it is even impossible to become the first emperor on the grassland.

The Rong army arrived not far from Kyoto City and began to set up camp, in order not to give the opponent's artillery bombardment range, the location of the camp was twice as safe from the previous battlefield.

This time, Zong Yu was well prepared, there was no shortage of food, grass and military salaries, and he was just waiting for an opportunity to attack the city, that is, a rainy day.

Through a long period of experimentation, Zong Yu found a way to restrain the opponent's firearms, and that was rain.

By observing the cannons in Huya Pass, Zong Yu concluded that the firing of these firearms required burning and open flames.

Although it rains, the other side can build a shed to shelter those firearms, but once the rain is heavy, it will inevitably affect the loading of ammunition.

And this is their chance, as long as the firearms on the tower of Kyoto Castle are scrapped, he is very sure that he can take Kyoto Castle in a short time.

After waiting until five days, the cool autumn rain began to hit, and the long-dormant Rong coalition army also began to attack the city.
