Wei Juan continued to be depressed: "I don't know either!"

After finishing speaking, Wei Juan said to Li Ji: "Speaking of which, it is thanks to Master Li who came up with such a plan this time, using Tuyuhun's territory and the promise of the king to drive the party members to fight with Tuyuhun people, otherwise the soldiers are now Given the situation, we simply don’t have the ability to fight the Tuyuhun people!”

Ever since the Gan army captured Longqi City and Xiping successively, some people in the army had altitude sickness one after another. Although they had made corresponding preparations and training before setting off, they were still not spared.

After arriving at Fucheng City, [-]% of the Gan army's soldiers and horses have completely lost their combat effectiveness, and [-]% of their combat effectiveness has been reduced by at least half, and the others have been more or less affected.

Seeing that the matter was getting more and more serious, Weijuan, Chang Kun, Li Ji and others were worried that the Tuyuhun people would kill them after they got the news, so Li Ji came up with such a plan to drive the party members to fight the Tuyuhun people desperately.

Chang Kun said rather worriedly: "I'm a little worried now, what will we do if a certain Dangxiang tribe really cut off Mu Liyan's head and sent it to the capital? The imperial court reported and obtained consent, this is acting without authorization, once the emperor is furious, I am afraid that none of us will be able to keep our heads!"

Wei Juan looked at Li Ji and said, "I'm also worried about this!"

Li Ji smiled and said: "You two generals don't have to worry, this will never happen, not to mention whether the party members can defeat Mu Liyan, even if they can defeat Mu Liyan and behead him, I am afraid that the party members will There is not much left. In order to compete for Mu Liyan's head, their strength will be greatly damaged. Think about how much strength the final winner will have left? By then, will the soldiers under the two generals The horse hasn't recovered yet?"

The two nodded, and Wei Juan said to Chang Kun: "General Chang, didn't you have been ordered to recruit [-] Qiang, Di, Jie, and Han people in the Qinzhou area? It is said that these people have been walking on the plateau for a long time. If there is altitude sickness like our soldiers, when will they arrive here?"

Chang Kun said: "These soldiers still have two months to complete the training, but after the altitude sickness of our soldiers, I have already ordered the recruitment of these 2 horses, and they should arrive within half a month!"

Li Ji also breathed a sigh of relief, "This way, the officer can rest assured! But we still need to dispatch elite sentry cavalry to investigate the fighting situation between the Dangxiang people and the Tuyuhun people. We must know the progress of their battle at any time!"

Wei Juan said: "I will arrange this matter. In the past two years, I have also trained some manpower to go to and from the plateau. Although the number is small, it is more than enough to serve as sentry cavalry in the plateau area!"

"That's fine, leave this matter to General Wei!"

Wei Juan asked: "Master Li, what if the party members are not fooled?"

"Not to be fooled? Impossible!" Li Ji said shaking his head, "The party members will be like moths to the flame!"

······

The distance from Shudun City to Bailan is not very far, but the road along the way is difficult, the road is very cold, and the mountains are windy, often flying sand and gravel, and the temperature is getting warmer only when it is near Bailan.

The party members walked from Shudun City to Bailan for more than half a month. In Bailan, there was a city called Tuyuhun City. This city was built and lived by Tuyuhun, so it was called Tuyuhun City. hometown.

When the army of the Dangxiang people was still more than 30 miles away from Tuyuhun City, news came from the sentry in front that Tuyuhun City was heavily guarded, and there were many soldiers on the city wall, ready to fight.

After hearing the report, all the party leaders discussed and discussed for a while, Tuoba Siqi said: "Everyone, I think we have to learn from last time. Although our sons are brave, they are already very tired after marching for so many days. , we can't rush to the city of Tuyuhun, lest we be caught off guard by them again!"

Other tribal leaders nearby said: "I think what Chief Tuoba said makes sense. We should set up camp on the spot so that the children can rest well, eat and drink enough, and let them recharge their energy before attacking Tuyuhun City!"

"can!"

"agree!"

So the party members camped on the spot.

For two consecutive days, the party members did not take any action and only rested in the camp.

On the third day, the Dangxiang soldiers all recovered and marched towards Tuyuhun City in full gear, and arrived at the city after two hours.

Under the command of the leaders of various ministries, the party members began to attack the city of Tuyuhun, which was not very tall.

The Tuyuhun people were not good at defending the city, and the city wall was not very tall. The Dangxiang people used wooden ladders to climb up the city wall, and they took only one morning to attack the city wall.

The two sides fought and fought fiercely on the city wall, and the city wall was quickly filled with corpses. In just one day, more than 3000 people were killed or injured on both sides.

Chapter 790 Provocation

At night, the Dangxiang camp outside the city of Tuyuhun was brightly lit. The Dangxiang soldiers lit many bonfires in the camp and poured butter on it, which was very resistant to burning. Dangxiang soldiers sat around the bonfires and roasted meat.

In the big tent in the middle of the camp, all the leaders of the party and ministries gathered here to eat and drink. Last time Li Ji gave each of them two jars of wine. Such a strong drink.

The big guys sat on the short side eating mutton and drinking fine wine, discussing today's battle from time to time.

Fei Tinghan, the leader of the Fei Ting Department, said at this time: "Everyone, do you feel something is wrong?"

Someone asked: "What's wrong? Chief Fei Ting just speak up if he has something to say!"

Fei Tengwen frowned and said, "When did Tuyuhun rely on the defense of the city to save his life? Shouldn't they go out of the city to fight us? Don't they think that relying on this low city wall can stop our siege? Even if they don't leave the city Fight us decisively, they can also deal with us in the wild, they have many ways, but they choose to stay in the city and confront us, I think this is very abnormal!"

Someone said: "I think this is normal. There are tens of thousands of Tuyuhun people. No matter how low the city wall is, it is still a sharp weapon to stop our cavalry from attacking. Those old, weak, sick and disabled can't fight us in the wild. It's a defeat, but it's different if we stay in the city. As long as there is a person, he can fight us with a spear. I think this battle is not easy to fight. If you don't get Mu Liyan's head, you may lose a lot!"

"We have fought for three consecutive days, and we have lost more than 3000 people. Our sons' lives are precious. If there are so many casualties every day, our morale will drop within a few days!"

Tuoba Siqi thought for a while and said: "Tomorrow morning, let's not rush to attack the city, and send people to tell them in the city that we only want Mu Liyan's head, as long as we take his head, we will withdraw immediately!"

"Hey, that's a good idea, I agree!"

"I agree!"

Someone objected: "I don't agree! The Tuyuhun people are not fools. This is obviously a trap. They will jump into it eagerly? Besides, Mu Liyan will not let other people take his head, can he still do it?" Cut off your own head?"

"I don't agree either, this method will not have any effect at all!"

The [-] or [-] party leaders then voted with a show of hands. Those who agreed were in the majority, and those who opposed were in the minority. Finally, they decided to follow Tuoba Siqi's suggestion and not to attack tomorrow, but to send people to shout first, and let the Tuyuhun people themselves Infighting.

The next day, as soon as the sun rose, the Dangxiang army assembled outside Tuyuhun City. Although there was no formation, there were hundreds of large and small irregular square formations, covering a large area in darkness, and the scene was extremely spectacular.

A party centurion was ordered to hit the horse and came to the city wall and shouted: "Listen up, the leaders of our ministries have decided after discussion that we only want Mu Liyan's head, as long as you throw Mu Liyan's head down, We took Mu Liyan's head and withdrew, and there will be no connection between Dang Xiang and Tuyuhun!"

"I'll give you three days to think about it. If we haven't got Mu Liyan's head by this time tomorrow, we will attack the city. When Tuyuhun City is conquered, no one will be left behind!"

Mu Liyan and the leaders of more than a dozen tribes, including Tuyuhun, were standing on the city wall at this moment, and they could clearly hear what they just said.

The general Chili next to Mu Liyan said loudly to the leaders of other tribes: "Don't listen to the party members, they are trying to provoke us!"

If it was in normal times, these big and small leaders would not dare to have any unreasonable thoughts. They would do whatever Mu Liyan told them to do, but the situation is different now. If the attack is not dealt with properly, it is likely to exterminate the clan.

Mu Liyan's prestige in the hearts of these tribal leaders is declining sharply. Although Tuyuhun is a whole, it is also composed of various large and small tribes. Now it is at the juncture of the life and death of the entire tribe. For the sake of.

If only one person needs to be sacrificed to ensure the safety of the entire tribe, so what if that person is the king?If the king is gone, another one can be selected, and if the whole tribe is wiped out, there will be no hope.

Many people have a fluke mentality, and they will not give up hope until they are actually lying in the coffin. At this moment, the leaders of the Tuyuhun tribes are like this. They all have their own little thoughts in their hearts, and most of them look at Mu Liyan, even his head!

Both Mu Liyan and his generals felt that something was wrong. The current atmosphere was delicate. A few simple words and a promise from the party members created a rift in Tuyuhun.

Mu Liyan scanned the leaders of various tribes with sharp eyes, "Why, you want to take my head to please the party members?"

Nephew Fuyang said with a smile: "Uncle is too worried, how dare nephew? But... With our current situation, relying on this city may not be able to stop us for long. Once we wait for tens of thousands of soldiers The men and horses came, they have excellent siege equipment, they can break through the city in a few days, then all of us will die, and the whole Tuyuhun will be exterminated! As the king of Tuyuhun, uncle has enjoyed all the glory and wealth in his life, Shouldn't we do something for the entire clan when the country is in ruins? It only takes the life of my uncle to save the entire clan. My nephew thinks this is a good deal. If what they want is his head, my nephew They will not hesitate to draw their swords and kill themselves and offer their heads with both hands, but it's a pity that they don't want the head of their nephew!"

The general under Mu Liyan shouted: "Fuyang, you are bold, you want to force the king to commit suicide? Let us obediently dedicate the head of the king to the party members? Do you think the party members mean what they say? They want us to kill each other !"

Fu Yang said: "I don't know if they will keep their word, we can only gamble! As long as uncle offers his head, there is no such thing as cannibalism, is there?"

"Shua!" Chili drew out his scimitar and was furious: "Are you going to rebel? Court death!"

"Shua, Shua, Shua..." The generals around Fuyang were not to be outdone, and drew their swords one after another, which forced other leaders and their subordinates to draw their swords to defend themselves.
