The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

Tuo Ermu's eyes flickered, and he shook his head and said, "No... let them go!"

Upon hearing this, the general showed doubt in his eyes, but still conveyed the intention to keep the troops in place, and all the cavalry were hidden tightly.

Ten cavalrymen from the left gate broke through the encirclement and rushed to the right gate ahead.

On the city wall of Youguan, Mu Yuntian was standing on the wall in armor. He was on the right side of the wall, and a fierce battle was taking place on the left side of the wall.

In other words, the entire east gate of Youguan fell under the attack of the Northern Mongolian cavalry. The Northern Mongolian cavalry had already captured the city wall, but the Wujing Army of Youguan was able to attack them again and again.

Beside Mu Yuntian, three generals watched the fierce battle ahead, then turned their gazes towards the left pass. One of them said, "General, do you think Chu Chengfeng will be fooled?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Yuntian looked deeply in the direction of Zuo Guan, his eyes gleaming with brilliance.

"He will be fooled! Even if he is careful, I have lit the beacon fire. The battle at the east gate is fierce. The city may be breached at any time. He will definitely come!"

In order to make the play more realistic, he not only let the 30,000 cavalrymen of the Wujing Army fight fiercely with the Northern Mongolian cavalry outside the city, but even the soldiers defending the city could only barely hold the city walls.

He put the entire right pass in a state between breaking through and not breaking through. It seemed precarious, but as long as someone came to rescue, it could be turned from danger to safety.

As for most of the soldiers at Youguan, they had no idea about Mu Yuntian’s collusion with Beimeng. They were doing their best to guard Youguan.

Therefore, even if Chu Chengfeng was careful and sent scouts to check the situation, the final result would be that he would have to rush to the rescue of Youguan.

As long as Chu Chengfeng transfers his troops out of Zuoguan, the entire Zuoguan will be destroyed, and the 100,000 Zhenyuan troops will be buried here.

"But if Chu Chengfeng finds out about our plan with Beimeng, and he reports it back to the capital, then Marshal, your family is afraid... yes!"

Another general said worriedly.

Hearing this, Mu Yuntian smiled strangely and said, "Send him back to the capital? Can he return alive? Even if he does, at most I will be charged with incompetence in fighting. Am I a rebel?"

"Haha... I just failed to guard the right pass, allowing the enemy to take advantage of the opportunity. Chu Chengfeng failed to see the situation clearly and fell into the enemy's trap. What does it have to do with me?"

"Moreover, once the left pass is breached, I will defend the right pass to the death and will be unable to stop the northern Mongolian cavalry from advancing southwards. Do you think I will be rewarded or punished?"

At the end of his speech, he had a smug look on his face, and his cold eyes made the two lieutenants shiver.

The two deputy generals nodded and looked towards the left pass with sympathy.

The plan of their commander was extremely vicious, a self-torture scheme. He took advantage of the illusion that Youguan was about to fall to lure Chu Chengfeng into a trap. Once Chu Chengfeng sent troops out of the city, most of their troops would be wiped out by Beimeng in the end.

The Northern Mongolian Army might even take the opportunity to seize Zuoguan. At that time, their commander-in-chief only needs to defend the city. Who knows if their commander-in-chief has colluded with the enemy?

Who knows, if their commander-in-chief defends the border to the death, he will be praised and loved by the people, and the Chu brothers will become sinners of Dayan.

If Dayan was destroyed, he wouldn't have to worry about anything else! He might even become a hero of Northern Mongolia!

Of course, they killed the five brothers of the Chu family not only to allow Beimeng to march straight into Dayan, but also to wait for Jiang Fan's arrival.

At that time, without the Chu brothers, the King of Qin would only end up dead if he entered Youguan. This was their vicious plan to deal with Jiang Fan.

At this moment, Mu Yuntian looked at the horizon not far away. The ten cavalrymen from Zuoguan looked very conspicuous. Mu Yuntian looked at the ten cavalrymen with a hint of sarcasm on his lips.

"Chu Chengfeng, you are really careful. It's a pity that no matter how careful you are, you will be fooled. Seeing the current situation of the battle in Youguan, can you still bear not to send troops?"

The current battle situation seems to be that the situation at Youguan is critical. If Chu Chengfeng does not send troops to provide assistance, once Youguan is lost, Chu Chengfeng will have an unshirkable responsibility.

They will also lose Youguan, an important strategic partner, and will be trapped in Zuoguan.

Mu Yuntian originally thought that after he lit the beacon, Chu Chengfeng would be fooled and would not send scouts to check. Now it seems that Chu Chengfeng was too cautious.

However, he was not worried at all, because he believed that Chu Chengfeng would definitely send troops! He was just waiting for the news that Chu Chengfeng was defeated and killed.

At this time, the ten riders saw the situation on the right side of the pass and quickly turned their horses around and rushed back towards the left side.

In the battle formation in front of Youguan, 10,000 Northern Mongolian cavalry did not launch an attack, but guarded one of the tents.

In front of this tent, Jidong Keyou, the eldest son of Ji Keli and the chief commander of the Northern Mongolian expedition, looked at the battle on the city wall in front of him with a hint of sneer on his face.

Mu Yuntian cooperated with him perfectly, although both sides were losing troops and they were really fighting a tough battle.

But this loss is really nothing compared to the annihilation of the 100,000 national defense troops at Zuoguan.

He is now waiting to take over Zuoguan and then march straight into the heart of the Central Plains.

On the other side, Tuoermu, who was lying in ambush between the left and right passes, looked at the returning scouts from the left pass with a hint of sarcasm on his face. He smiled coldly and said, "It's almost there... They will soon enter the ambush circle! I'm really looking forward to it!"

Upon hearing this, the general next to him also looked towards the left pass with anticipation.

Soon, a group of scouts returned to Zuoguanzhong. When Chu Chengfeng heard the scouts' report, there was no expression on his resolute face, but the corners of his mouth curled up.

"Brother, Mu Yuntian is using a self-torture trick. If we didn't know that he had betrayed us, we would have fallen into his trap!" Chu Chengduan said angrily.

Chu Chengren shook his head when he heard this.

"Even if we didn't know he had rebelled, the situation on his side was really too abnormal. An army of 100,000 was forced into this state by 100,000 Northern Mongolian cavalry! Do you think it's reasonable?"

“If Mu Yuntian is greedy for merit and rushes forward recklessly, ignoring the 30,000 cavalrymen and letting them get into a tough fight outside the city, even so, the city wall is about to fall. Isn’t this a bit too much!”

Chu Chengfeng heard this, smiled and looked at his fifth brother and said: "Fifth brother, your analysis is indeed good, but that is also based on the premise that you know that Mu Yuntian is a traitor. If you don't know that he is a traitor."

"Even though we know that his current condition is abnormal, when we see that Youguan is in danger, will we not send troops to rescue him? Will we think that Mu Yuntian failed to command well and made mistakes?"

"You would have thought that the head coach of Yiguan would collude with Beimeng?!"

Chu Chengfeng asked a series of questions, and Chu Chengren looked thoughtful, but soon he nodded, thinking that his brother was right.
