Dressed as the cannon fodder who died prematurely, I will marry the villain in anger

盛乐

boom--

With a deafening cannon blast, a big hole was blown out in the gate of Shengle City. The Xianbei people in the city screamed, and the Xianbei soldiers defending the city suppressed their fear and stepped forward to fight the enemy.

The guards quickly reported the news outside the city to Tuoba Khan, "Khan! The Pingzhou army is knocking on the gate again!"

Tuoba Khan and all the members of the royal court had solemn expressions on their faces.

Some generals thought to themselves, do you need me to tell you? They were not deaf, so they naturally heard the loud bombardment just now.

After Tuoba Khan dismissed the guards, he said in a deep voice, "Yuchi Rui, you lead the troops to the front to defend against the enemy. You must repel the enemy!"

Yuchi Rui took a deep breath and stepped out, "I obey your orders!"

Yuchi Rui knew very well that this time he went to lead the troops to fight the enemy, there was a high possibility that he would never return.

As a general who had fought in battles for many years, he saw clearly that the Jintai army in Pingzhou could have captured Shengle in one fell swoop, but the other side did not and deliberately prolonged the battle in order to destroy the Xianbei's manpower.

The other side wanted to solve the problem once and for all, to completely silence the Xianbei tribe, rather than to gain a symbolic victory.

After Yuchi Rui strode away, the atmosphere in the big tent remained solemn. No one spoke, waiting quietly for the battle report from the front.

Tuoba Doji looked sick. He was quite old and had been fighting in the wars for many years, so his health was deteriorating.

At the beginning of this winter, he was bedridden due to the bad weather.

I thought I could take care of it over the winter and it would recover next year.

But things went against his wishes and his wish to have a good rest was dashed.

First, the Pingzhou army came to his door, which made him shocked and angry. He immediately ordered his men to lead the troops to fight back.

At that time, the third brother Tuoba Yu asked for the order, as he thought that fighting at his doorstep would not be too dangerous.

Unfortunately, the third brother Tuoba Yu died in the first battle against the Jintai army of Pingzhou.

When he heard the bad news, the old father was heartbroken beyond words.

Later, in anger, he organized two more military attacks and even commanded them personally, but he was hit head-on and beaten back by the Jintai army both times.

The three battles made him clearly see the combat effectiveness of the Pingzhou Jintai Army. The other side used advanced cannons and high-powered bombs to almost wipe out the main force of the Shengle Royal City's army.

This huge gap made him shudder with fear.

Then, the news of the death of the second brother Tuoba Jin and the news that the seventh brother Tuoba Lian was trapped in Hancheng came, which made him sad and worried again.

Upon learning that his youngest son was trapped, he wanted to send troops to rescue him, but the two armies he sent out were destroyed by the Jintai army outside.

In desperation, he had to give up the idea of ​​sending troops to Hancheng for rescue.

Outside the city gate, before Yuchi Rui's men arrived, they heard the sound of fighting ahead.

From his perspective, he saw the Xianbei men dying under the swords of the enemy.

As soon as Yuchi Rui and his men climbed onto the city wall, they shouted to Qin Sheng, "Qin Sheng, you Pingzhou people should stop bullying others!"

After fighting for so long, the Xianbei tried to surrender, but the other side refused!

Yuchi Rui's words made the deputy generals around him feel distressed. They, the Xianbei, were just sitting at home, but Pingzhou wanted to attack them. It was really a disaster from the sky!

Most importantly, in the past, when they went south in the winter, these Han people were treated like pigs and dogs and allowed to be slaughtered at will. When did the situation turn around?

The young general behind Qin Sheng was born in Pingzhou. Hearing this, he felt relieved. You Xianbei deserve this. When you Xianbei relied on your strong army and horses to invade the south every winter, why didn't you think about how innocent the Han people were?

Qin Sheng grabbed the big flag in his hand and said expressionlessly, "Tuoba Jin has already lost Shengle to Pingzhou. We are just here to take the prize we won."

Chen Changan, Zhang Xuyuan and other young generals on the side looked at each other and said, yes, that's right, they were not going too far!

The conversation between the two people in front was heard from the back. For the first time, Tuoba Doji regretted that he had repeatedly not taken the promise seriously, otherwise he would not have suffered such a disaster.

"Get ready to attack!"

At the front, Yuchi Rui, who had already realized the purpose of the Jintai Army's expedition, did not waste any more words. Even the Xianbei surrender was not immediately accepted by the other side. Would it be useful to discuss other conditions?

Under the command of Yuchi Rui, the Xianbei warriors guarding the city gate came out in full force.

Seeing this, Qin Sheng waved the battle flag and commanded the soldiers to fight!

Yuchi Rui stood on a high place and looked around, and saw tents in the distance. These tents belonged to the Jintai Army. Behind the tents, Pingzhou also built a wide cement road to facilitate the transportation of supplies to the Jintai Army from the rear of Pingzhou.

The grasslands this year are colder than in previous years. The Jintai Army has an unlimited supply of honeycomb coal from Pingzhou Logistics, so they can live in the wild for two months and live a more comfortable life than the Xianbei.

He also knew that the Jintai army had increased its troops after defeating the main force of the Xianbei King City. The soldiers in the newly added army were all very young, and he knew at that time that Pingzhou was using the Xianbei as a training target.

The army in Pingzhou, called Jintai Army, is the devil.

After they besieged Shengle, they used a tactic of surrounding a point and attacking the reinforcements, ambushing the team of tribal warriors who came to support Shengle.

Later, they relied on their advanced weapons and equipment as well as military force to rob nearby small tribes, captured the young and strong men in the tribes, killed those who resisted stubbornly, looted all the cattle, sheep and horses in the tribes, and drove the remaining elderly, weak, women and children towards Shengle.

In this way, they used war to support war and continuously weakened the Xianbei and strengthened themselves.

In the rear, Tuoba Khan and members of the royal court were also discussing this matter.

"How did Pingzhou know about those secret routes?"

Tuoba Doji had sensed something was wrong before; the Jintai army was too familiar with the grassland.

"Could it be that there is a traitor among our people?"

"Impossible! We are all Xianbei people. It will do us no good to open Pingzhou!"

"Then how do you explain Pingzhou's familiarity with the route and conditions on the grassland?"

Because of this suspicion, Tuoba Doji has punished many people.

Until now, no one has suspected Cao Huating. Cao Huating was captured in Dali. His identity as the son of the Zhu family, a noble family in the south, was exposed. He hid his real name in order to avenge his enemy Xie Zhan. No one suspected that he was a spy from Pingzhou.

During the discussion, news of the battle damage at the front continued to spread to the rear.

Tuoba Duoji was also regretting that when the Xianbei were strong, why didn't he catch them all at once when the Qin family was exiled to Pingzhou? Or why didn't he kill them all when they were still weak?

His underestimation of the enemy at that time led to the disaster today. His dream of ruling the Central Plains was shattered...

An hour later, the Jintai army wiped out almost all the Xianbei Tatars who were leaving the city.

Yuchi Rui also died under Qin Sheng's spear.

Before he died, Yuchi Rui grabbed Qin Sheng's boots and asked intermittently, "What do you want Pingzhou to withdraw its troops and accept our Xianbei's surrender?"

Qin Sheng lowered his eyes and looked at Yuchi Rui, who was already on the verge of death but still stubbornly waiting for his answer. "Remember? You Xianbei have repeatedly broken the agreement, so your surrender is not credible."

Yuchi Rui looked at him anxiously, "No, no, no, this time is different."

Yuchi Rui felt a surge of regret in his heart. When the Khan broke the agreement, he should have tried to persuade him, otherwise he would have to suffer the consequences now!

"Because you have a long criminal record, this time, we in Pingzhou will have the final say on how far we will fight to accept your surrender."

At this time, Yuchi Rui's eyes were unfocused, but his face was still stubbornly facing Qin Sheng. So when was it?

Qin Sheng understood what he meant. Out of respect for his military status, he squatted down and whispered, "We should probably wait until the number of members of the Tuoba royal family is reduced to a certain level. By then, you Xianbei will no longer have the possibility to shirk responsibility. And your new Khan had better have a higher moral standard."

What Qin Sheng didn't say was that before setting out, the instructions he received were that he must reduce the young and strong forces of the Xianbei to below a certain level to ensure that in the next twenty to thirty years, the Xianbei would no longer pose a threat to China's borders.

Of course, the whole clan will not be exterminated.

Lu Songli knew very well that if the Xianbei were faced with the danger of genocide, they would only fight to the death.

Yuchi Rui got the answer and slowly loosened his hand. He understood what Qin Sheng meant. He could rest in peace knowing that the Xianbei were not in danger of extinction. As for the disaster that the Tuoba royal family would encounter, it was not something he was worried about. In a nutshell, the Tuoba royal family was responsible for most of the disaster that the Xianbei had, so he didn't care even if they were all killed.
