In the fifth year of Qi Lan's ascension to the throne, Da Qi sent troops to Manjin, with Mobei as the main force, starting from Ningguan, captured Wangfeng City, all the way west, approaching the capital of Manjin.

Fat and strong horses, soldiers with piercing eyes, and unparalleled warriors, when they walk around, the original slight sound of armor merges into a huge sound, which is magnificent.

The fine rain fell, and the horseshoes stepped on the muddy dirt road, splashing a little bit of muddy water.Where the Mobei army passed by, horseshoes galloped, and the sound was like thunder, causing the ground to shake.

The sky was gloomy and gray, as if something was pressing down on the vast land, making it hard to breathe.

Galloping all the way, heading straight to Manjin Capital, Rong Jue was riding a tall horse in front of the army.

The people in Manjin have long been in dire straits, and they have been in chaos for several times. When Rong Jue and the others came, all the people in Manjin were starving and emaciated, and many of them had migrated with their families to farther places to flee.

Meng Wenbin looked at the sky, and asked Rong Jue for instructions: "My lord, it's the time when the rain is concentrated, and the weather is humid and humid. Now King Manjin is just a turtle in a urn, so why don't you take a rest here and wait until the weather clears tomorrow?" Siege the city?"

This time to attack Manjin, Mobei can be said to have done its best, and all those who could be transferred out were transferred out to lead the army.In addition to Meng Wenbin, many young generals from the army also came with them. Everyone came up with their own strategies and discussed offensive and defensive strategies.

"rest?"

Rong Jue looked back, was silent for a moment, and said: "Send scouts to investigate the situation over there first."

Now they have come to a small city closest to the Manjin Capital, and as long as they go further, they will be the Manjin Capital.Xu heard the news that Daqi's army was approaching. There were no living people in this small town. The whole city was empty, except for some old and weak people who were forced to stay because they couldn't walk.

Seeing Da Qi's army, these people were all trembling and shaking their bodies in horror, before Rong Jue and the others could say anything, these people had already knelt down and begged for mercy.

Meng Wenbin winked at Rong Jue and asked him if he wanted to bypass these barbarians.Before Wangfeng City was broken and Dai Yan died, it was because of the cooperation inside and outside the city that Dai Yan was caught off guard and was besieged to death in the end.

Raising his eyes and taking a look, Rong Jue shook his head lightly: "Forget it, just keep these people under strict supervision."

He couldn't bear it, not because they didn't participate in the war, but because, even if he didn't come, these people might not survive to the end.

He will not stay in the Manjin royal family, but the Manjin royal family is gone, and there are still many ambitious people in the Manjin. The war will not end so soon, and now he has the advantage, driving straight all the way, and those young people are waiting for him to kill The Manjin King, justifiably, re-launched the war for the throne.

——He was used as a knife.

But Rong Jue didn't take this to heart, he didn't feel at ease if King Man Jin died at anyone's hands, only when he died by his hands would he be considered revenge.As for the rest...

He snorted softly, this throne is not so easy to sit on.

Rong Jue didn't plan to stay in this small town for long, even if the Manjin people in the city would not report the news, he would be anxious to take down the Manjin King as soon as possible.

The sky was not very clear at first, and when the army was repaired, Rong Jue gave the order to rush on the road all night and attack the city of Manjin at night.

He couldn't wait any longer, thinking that King Manjin had already received the news, if King Manjin escaped overnight to avoid this catastrophe, he would never let himself go.

Manjin Capital City can be regarded as a century-old city. Since Manjin established the country, it has established its capital here. Because it has something to ask for Da Qi, it only calls itself king and pays tribute to Da Qi.

When Rong Jue arrived at Manjin Capital, it was the fourth watch.

The night is thick, the stars and the moon are hidden, and the darkness is boundless. The Manjin Capital City stands quietly in this darkness.

It was the cold spring season, and the exhaled breath in the middle of the night could form a white mist. It was cold and sleepy, and the soldiers guarding the city of Manjin Capital couldn't bear to doze off long ago.

They didn't know that not far away, Da Qi's army was approaching rapidly.

And the Manjin Palace in the capital city was in a hurry. The old Manjin King really couldn't hold on this time. He was lying on the bed in a daze, but no one was waiting beside him. The brightly lit palace , everyone was hurrying back and forth, packing up the soft gold, and preparing to flee.

Rong Jue squinted his eyes, looked at the barbarian gold soldiers guarding the city, smiled coldly, and waved his hands: "Attack!"

On the other side, Meng Wenbin led the team and surrounded the capital.

Want to escape?There are no doors.

In a siege battle, the defenders will never open the gates easily. The gates are heavy and huge, not to mention that opening the gates takes time and effort. If the enemy takes this opportunity to control the gates, it will basically send the entire city to others. up,

Qi Lan fully supported the attack on Manjin this time, and asked in detail the whole process, whatever Rong Jue wanted, he would give.

In addition to sufficient arrows, there are also a lot of various siege equipment.

Reserve sergeants transported bags of sand and gravel to build a mountain, and the ladder approached the edge of the city wall and flew up.A few black shadows quickly ran up the ladder and climbed over the city wall. The soldiers guarding the city only felt a pain in the back of their necks, and their heads fell to the ground.

The soldiers on the tower realized that something was wrong, and quickly rang the alarm bell: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Daqi people are coming!"

The loud bell broke the silence of the night, not only waking up the drowsy soldiers, but also terrified many nobles in the capital.

— This is the death knell!

The whining horn sounded, the drums rumbled, and Da Qi's army quickly launched an attack.

Man Jin also reacted quickly, and dispatched archers to shoot at the Daqi army under the city.Arrows fell like rain, and the Daqi soldiers on the ground quickly raised their shields to resist, while on the top of the city, heavy logs and boulders also rolled down, smashing and repelling the attacking Daqi soldiers one after another.

The soldiers who had gone up before were also captured, and the siege fell into a stalemate for a while.

This will not work, although they have already surrounded the capital, and the Manjin has no supply, and they will soon fall into panic or even surrender, but they are also going deep into the Manjin, and the supply of food and fodder is the same as that of the Manjin. It is also a disadvantage!

Rong Jue was anxious.At this time, Meng Wenbin sent someone to report that the barbarian nobles in the city really couldn't wait any longer, and started to sneak away.

Think beautiful!

Waiting for Rongjue to feel furious.Manjin's arrows were almost consumed, so he ordered to push the catapult behind him forward, and at the same time, began to shoot rockets.

Arrows with sparks fell from the sky one after another, causing the soldiers on the top of the city to run away with their heads in their arms, and huge boulders fell on the city wall, and the gravel fell, charming the eyes.

After finally surviving the rocket rain, the barbarian soldiers were horrified to find out that this is not over yet!

It turned out that those catapults not only threw huge boulders up, but also attached a lot of hay, and the hay was stained with kerosene. In this way, those arrows with sparks found attachments on the originally wet city wall, and the sparks immediately burst into flames. stand up!

There were still a lot of ordnance and kerosene piled up on the city wall. In order to keep them in use, the ordnance has always been properly stored.Even after so many days of rain, they have never been damp, but now they are all destroyed by a fire.As for the kerosene, it was originally for his own use, but now it has become an accomplice of Da Qi's army.

Although they couldn't burn the city walls, these ordnance could still be burned, and they could scare people by the way. Those barbarian gold nobles probably thought the city was broken when they saw the fire on the top of the city.

Covering his mouth, Rong Jue still leaked a sneer from the corner of his mouth.

The general in charge of defending the city turned green. He took a deep breath, and was about to calm down and organize the next round of defense, when he heard the report from the soldiers below: The nobles in the city can't sit still, and they have packed up all their belongings Well, I was arguing for them to open the city gate and let people go.

what? !

What kind of person is it that he tries his best to organize soldiers to defend and defend? !The soldiers on the front line are desperately trying not to retreat, but these pampered nobles in the rear want to escape? !

The general stood there blankly, not knowing what to do for a while.

Are you going to let those people go?So if I stay, is it for such a person to die?

A raging fire slowly burned in the general's eyes.

No, never!

Let's all die together!

He no longer struggled to organize resistance, and gave orders one after another feebly, just waiting for the Daqi army to break through the city gate, waiting for the sharp knife to slash his throat, waiting for death to come.

A red fireball slowly rose in the east, and the sharp tip of the spear shone with white light, quickly harvesting one life after another.

Flesh and blood splattered, Rong Jue walked past the corpses expressionlessly, and there was no living thing after what he said.

No one can escape.He can spare the elderly and children, but he will not spare these people who participated in or even started the war.

Everyone can only see one scene when they die, and that is a silver light across the neck, and the handsome beauty king who comes after it.

No, it's Shura!

He was as cruel and merciless as if he had crawled out of hell, and all the begging and flattery couldn't make him frown.

At dawn, Daqi finally broke through the city gate and entered the Manjin Palace.The Manjin King, who was seriously ill, was pushed out by the Manjin nobles, and used it as a shield to beg Rong Jue for mercy. All the crimes were blamed on the Manjin King, and the Manjin nobles could only beg Rong Jue to let them go.

Such a barbaric gold king somehow reminded Rong Jue of Emperor Tong Xi.Four years ago, when the Xiongnu army went south, Emperor Tong Xi was also seriously ill. If Qi Lan hadn't released him at that time, would he be like today?

No, there is no if.

Because Qi Lan let him go, he trusted him.I believe that he will return victorious and drive the Huns out of Mobei.

Raising his eyebrows contemptuously, Rong Jue beheaded the Manjin King without saying a word.Glancing at the Manjin nobleman who Huanxin thought he had escaped, Rong Jue sneered, the Manjin King deserves to die, but you people can't live either.

Putting the head of King Man Jin away, Rong Jue waved his hand lightly, and the sergeant who followed him immediately stepped forward, the white knife went in, the red knife came out, and the knife was raised and lowered with no ambiguity at all.

"You..." The Manjin nobles know that death is still unbelievable, but Rong Jue actually betrayed his promise. It was not enough to kill the Manjin King, but also killed them.

"I never said, I want to let you go." Rong Jue turned around, the sunlight scattered from behind him, his figure was blurred by the sunlight, and Xiaobai landed on his shoulder to bring him the letter from Dingjing.

"Wait a minute, I'll wipe my hands first."
