The Beimu camp outside the city was laughing and laughing at this time. This time, there were more than 20,000 people in the tribe who came with Xiao Yanran. Except for some losses in the breach of the ruins, there were almost no losses in the attack.

Compared with the losses, the gains along the way are quite rich. Along the way, they conquered more than a dozen states and counties, plundering countless goods. If it weren't for the fact that they didn't bring siege equipment, they believed that even the big city in front of them, Shangyang City, they would be able to take it in one fell swoop. However, even if they didn't take Shangyang City, the harvest of plundering the surrounding states and counties of Shangyang Cheng also made them very satisfied.

Compared with the excitement of the tribal leader, Xiao Yanran was much more sober. He knew that they had just taken the Ming Kingdom by surprise. The counterattack of the Great Ming Kingdom is about to arrive.

In the past few days, seven more tribes have attacked, but only two tribes have broken through the state and county and plundered back supplies, and the remaining five tribes have all returned. One tribe has lost more than half of its elite herders. And according to the spies' report, the army in the east of the Ming Kingdom has been dispatched. Today, it is said that there is also an army from the west, but I don't know if it is a cold-clothed army.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yanran stood up, hammered his sore back, and said to the people waiting under the tent: "Call the leaders of the tribes to come over and discuss matters." ”

The subordinate took the order and left, and in half a day, all the tribal leaders came to the big tent. The chiefs were obviously very satisfied with the seized supplies, and were chatting happily about what I grabbed today and what I grabbed yesterday.

Xiao Yanran saw that everyone was together, and said, "Everyone should have gained a lot in the past few days. But the army of the Great Ming Kingdom is coming soon, I don't know who is willing to lead the troops to resist? ”

The tent was quiet, and it was obvious that no one was willing to face the army of the Great Ming Kingdom. However, the seizure of more than half a month made them very reluctant to give up, after all, there are still so many places that have not been captured.

A tribal leader named Rakshen stood up and said, "Didn't the national teacher think too much, these people's combat effectiveness is so poor, the armies of those states and counties are like sheep, and they will scatter in one rush. ”

Xiao Yanran glanced at him and said, "There are wolf kings in the wolf pack, as well as old wolves and young wolves. You Laxin can't forget the existence of the wolf king just because he bullied a few wolf cubs. It is said that there are 300,000 troops from the east this time, and you are willing to go and cut off the rear for everyone? ”

The number of 300,000 troops is more than the total number of troops that can be mobilized in the Northern Pastoral Kingdom. Whether it's true or not, even halving is not something that these tribes that are now invading the state can resist. When they heard this, the chiefs of the tribes stopped talking.

Xiao Yanran saw that the effect had been achieved, and continued: "Everyone has already grabbed it, so let's retreat early, if it's too late, we may not be able to leave." ”

Along the way, Xiao Yanran has established a very high prestige, so everyone has no objection.

A tribal leader suddenly stood up again and said, "Master Guoshi, I don't know how many days to retreat?" It's a bit too much to grab this time, and we'll need some time. ”

Xiao Yanran said: "Give you three days, and start pulling in three days." There are useless things that should be thrown away. ”

In Shangdang City, with the arrival of Wang Mingyi with the Cold-Clothed Army, the atmosphere became strange. Because of the 30,000 winter clothes army that was promised, only 3,000 people came. This number is not as large as the number of thieves in Taihang Mountain. So all of a sudden, the eyes of everyone in Taihang Mountain looking at Li Mingyi changed.

Li Mingyi didn't care, and after helping Wang Mingyi get some supplies, he called Taihang Sanren, Jiao Ting, and Lu Fang. It can be regarded as a pre-war military meeting.

The two sides exchanged polite words, and Wang Mingyi said directly to the point: "I called you here to help Shangyang City break the siege. ”

The three people of Taihang Mountain looked at each other, after all, no one believed that the soldiers of the three thousand cold clothes army could relieve the siege of Shangyang City. The group of northern herdsmen claimed to have more than 100,000 people. But looking at the meaning of the two Xiao Wang generals in front of him, he thought that 3,000 people were enough to relieve the siege of Shangyang City.

Seeing that the other two refused to speak, Taihang Sanren knew that he could only speak by himself, so he asked: "General Wang, I don't know if there is any backup for the Hanyi Legion." ”

Wang Mingyi just wanted to tell them that there were 3,000 people from the Coldcoat Legion this time. Li Mingyi spoke first.

Li Mingyi said: "Of course there is. Commander Bai has already led the army to detour through the grassland and attack the waste pass, and the waste pass must have been laid at this time. It won't be long before I come here to learn with us. ”

At this moment, everyone in Taihang Mountain came to their senses in an instant, and Lu Fang said: "That means that we are just the vanguard?" ”

"Yes." Li Mingyi said without thinking, "But we can't let the North Shepherd on the other side see it, so we need everyone's cooperation." ”

"How to cooperate?" Jiao Ting also came to the spirit.

After the battle outside the Shangdang City that day, everyone knew it, and knew that fighting head-on with Beimu was no different from sending them to death. So this coordination is very particular.

Li Mingyi looked at Wang Mingyi, meaning to let him speak. Wang Mingyi also understood, and he didn't blame Li Mingyi for deceiving this group of people.

Wang Mingyi said: "Actually, it's very simple, although we are pioneers this time. But Beimu didn't know, in order to prevent Beimu from discovering that Commander Bai had gone to copy their back road. I need your help with our bluffing. You can raise the banner of our Winter Clothes Legion, multi-tree banners, and pretend that there are 30,000 troops marching. ”

At this moment, the three people of Taihang Mountain came to the spirit, as long as they were not positive and rigid Beimu, they were still very willing to do this kind of thing.

So Taihang Sanren said: "General Wang, don't worry, this matter is on us." ”

In this way, the next day, an army of the Winter-Coated Legion, which looked like 50,000 people on the outside, left Shangdang and headed for Shangyang City.

The Northern Shepherds outside Shangyang City originally needed to leave yesterday, but there were too many looted materials this time, and many tribes didn't have time to pack up, so they stayed here for another day. Xiao Yanran didn't persuade again, but at noon that day, he retreated first with the packed tribes, and let the tribes that stayed in Shangyang City pack up and then follow.

As soon as the banner of the Wintercoat Legion appeared, the tribes present panicked, and some people began to retreat first regardless of the looted materials. Some people still refuse to give up. Shangyang City was suddenly in chaos.

Wang Mingyi and Li Mingyi took the cold-clothed army first, and saw all this from afar.

Wang Mingyi's eyes lit up instantly, and he said, "They want to run?" ”

Li Mingyi understood the thoughts of this belligerent second brother at this time, it must be at this time, leading the cavalry to charge once, and he will definitely be able to win a big victory. Actually, he wanted to do it again.

At that moment, Li Mingyi carefully counted the tents of the northern herdsmen, and found that there were only 5,000 people at most. Li Mingyi said: "Just 5,000 people, rush once? ”

At this moment, Wang Mingyi's appetite was right, and he called the herald and said: "Let the people of Taihang Mountain camp camp on the spot, and the cavalry battalion will be ready to charge after a quarter of an hour." ”

After hearing the order, the elite of the winter clothes immediately began to inspect the horses under the leadership of the squad leaders, and ate some dried meat a little, preparing to charge.

A quarter of an hour later, the three thousand cavalry in winter clothes divided into three routes and slaughtered the Beimu camp under Shangyang City.

Looking at the cold-clothed cavalry in the distance, the three leaders of the Taihang faction all looked puzzled.

"Are they crazy, only 3,000 people actually charged directly?" Jiao Ting couldn't help but speak first.

Lu Fang also thought the same way as him, and said: "Three thousand people, just go to those tens of thousands of northern herdsmen?" ”

Taihang Sanren was the most calm, and said: "There are not tens of thousands of people in Beimu under the city, and it is estimated that there are more than 10,000. ”

Jiao Ting said angrily: "That's 10,000 people." Have you forgotten that on that day, five hundred Beimu rangers almost scattered five thousand of us. ”

Taihang Sanren was speechless, but I just hoped that these 3,000 people could come back as safely as possible.

Wang Mingyi obviously didn't have so many thoughts, and at this time there was only one thought in his heart, the camp opposite was in chaos, and it was an opportunity. As long as you dare to charge, there is a high probability that you will be rewarded. In fact, just as Wang Mingyi thought, the group of northern herdsmen on the opposite side was basically about to collapse at the first touch, and the soldiers of the three thousand cold clothes legion were like tigers entering the flock. In an instant, they rushed into the camp of the Northern Shepherds.

The Northern Herdsmen obviously had no intention of fighting and just wanted to escape, and as soon as the Cold-Coated Legion charged, the remaining Northern Herdsmen didn't care about the looted property at all, and fled directly to the north frantically, not staying at all. The few tribal leaders who were left behind basically fled north with their cronies as soon as the Wintercoat Legion appeared.

The cavalry of the Three-Way Winter Clothes Regiment directly rushed the camp of the Northern Shepherds, and then met on the other side of the camp.

Li Mingyi looked at Wang Mingyi, who agreed with a confused face, with a puzzled face on his face at this time, and asked, "What's the matter, this group of northern herdsmen seems to have no intention of fighting." They all ran away. ”

Wang Mingyi obviously didn't know the reason, but said: "Don't worry about them, chase them from afar, how many can you kill." Let the group of people in Taihang Mountain also follow and kill, don't let them all run away. ”

As soon as the herald left, he saw the gate of Shangyang City wide open, and Li Ziwen led the defenders of Shangyang City to rush out. He had already seen the signs of the Northern Shepherds retreating at the head of the city, but there were too few others to go out of the city to face the battle. As soon as the Wintercoat Legion appeared, he knew that the opportunity had come, so he led the army out of the city directly.

The two brothers of the Wang family looked at each other and smiled, and also led the cavalry to rush up, and in an instant, the northern herdsman fell like a mountain, and the northern herdsman was like a lost dog to the north.

The Wang brothers chased all the way for dozens of miles, and only when they were sleepy and lacked did they begin to gather the team. It's just that along the way, Xiao Yanran has never appeared.

At this time, Xiao Yanran had already hurried to the waste pass. The moment he learned about the Wintercoat Legion, he understood that the abolition of the pass was the only way to retreat, and if the Wintercoat Legion was blocked, the more than 20,000 tribal warriors who attacked the state this time might all die here.
