Chapter 562 Will We Meet?

Such a big accident happened suddenly, and the whole Yanmen City was in chaos.

The wails of pain were everywhere, which was very creepy in the quiet night.

Taking advantage of this time, a group of Pingzhou soldiers who were originally hidden in the city began to rush to the destination to rescue people in a planned manner.

Some people were lucky and some were unlucky in this operation.

Xiao Kun and Yan Tianqing were the leaders of this operation. The members of their team took the bloody people they rescued one by one and rushed to the designated location.

It was night, because they were all wearing the uniforms of Xianbei soldiers, and they all had beards, they all looked gray and dirty, and occasionally uttered a few nonsense. The Xianbei soldiers who were still able to move in the city thought they were companions and were searching and rescuing their brothers in distress, without any doubt.

This was the first time that the Xianbei soldiers encountered such an accident. The guards were not strict, or there were no guards, which made it easy for Xiao Kun, Yan Tianqing and others to take people out in the chaos.

They still went through the South Gate this time, and halfway through, they met their companions who had been waiting to pick them up.

Ma Jin called for help, "Hurry, help the people on the car, let's go back quickly!"

As soon as the wounded got on the car, they received simple care. First, they were fed warm sugar water, and then the bleeding was stopped. Then everyone rushed to Shanggu County at full speed.

Tuoba Xun had no idea that he had let the culprit escape.

At this time, he was dragging a bloody arm and busy saving people.

There were too many casualties. After the accident, he asked the Khan in the rear for help, because no one knew whether the same thing would happen again, so only 10,000 soldiers were sent to help.

That night, the members of the Xianbei royal court did not sleep.

At three o'clock in the morning, Tuoba Xun came to the rear with the data that had just been counted.

Tuoba Lian looked at his eldest brother's miserable appearance, and was extremely glad that he did not stay in Yanmen, but returned to his father. He was captured by Pingzhou twice, both times when he acted alone, which left him with a psychological trauma.

"What are the casualties?" Tuoba Khan asked.

Tuoba Xun replied in a heavy tone, "The death toll is 28,000, 8,600 seriously injured, and 11,000 slightly injured."

When the casualties were reported, everyone in the Xianbei royal court took a breath.

It can be said that this accident directly caused the 50,000 Xianbei army to lose its combat effectiveness.

After Tuoba Xun finished reporting, the Xianbei generals started to discuss it.

"What exactly happened?"

The accident happened, what was the cause? Was it an accident or man-made?

The most important thing is, will such an accident happen again in the future?

"Could this be caused by the Sun family army? Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental?" The complete evacuation of the Sun family army and leaving Yanmen to them was a conspiracy.

If this was really caused by the Sun family army, then they, the Xianbei, would be in trouble.

The generals present shuddered at the thought that such a thing would happen every time they captured a city in the future.

"Don't be alarmist and scare yourself. I think this is an accident. If the Dali court really has such ability, why not use it in the North Border and Liangzhou?"

Indeed. You know, when they took over the North Border and Liangzhou and other cities before, everything went smoothly.

Tuoba Xun asked Tuoba Khan to chase the Sun family army.

The reason is simple. They can't go fast with so many wounded soldiers.

They Xianbei suffered such a big loss, and they have to make up for it.

They took Yanmen, and the people here have left. There is nothing left except empty houses and fields. I can't find anyone to vent my anger!

Tuoba Khan thought about it and agreed. But Tuoba Xun was injured. Tuoba Khan asked He Ximing to lead the army. If he couldn't swallow this breath, he would follow him.

Xianbei suffered such a big loss, and they had to vent their inner resentment. And he also wanted to see whether the big accident in Yanmen was intentional by the Sun family army.

Speed ​​is the essence of war. He Ximing and Tuoba Xun selected 30,000 cavalry and set off, passing through Yanmen and chasing south.

This scene was seen by the spies ambushed along the way in Pingzhou, and the news was passed back.

"The Xianbei army really chased them out?" The generals under the Qin family smacked their lips.

Muye thought, how could they not chase them out? You killed so many of their soldiers at once, I guess the Xianbei are almost mad, right?

"It's a pity that we used that thing in the Yanmen city, otherwise we could have ambushed along the way and harvested another wave." Ma Jin's voice was full of regret.

Hearing this, Muye asked curiously, "Brother, what is that thing called?"

Ma Jin glanced at Qin Heng, and Qin Heng nodded slightly. Those present were all core members, and their loyalty was beyond doubt.

So, Ma Jin said to him enthusiastically, "Brother Muye, that thing is called gunpowder. It is our secret weapon in Pingzhou. This gunpowder is very powerful. As long as the amount is large enough, it can raze a city to the ground."

Muye took a breath of cold air when he heard this. Pingzhou actually had such a weapon...

Their general was wise and took them to Pingzhou early. Otherwise, what if Pingzhou used that thing on them in the future battles between the two sides?

"Can we use this thing in every battle in Pingzhou in the future?" Muye asked with shining eyes.

Ma Jin curled his lips, "You are dreaming. Gunpowder is indeed good, but it is difficult to make in small quantities. I heard that the raw materials of saltpeter are particularly difficult to get. This Yanmen operation was dug out from the bottom."

"Is that so?" Muye murmured, "That's right. If such a heaven-defying thing can be made at will, then our Pingzhou will be invincible."

"That's right." Ma Jin nodded.

In fact, this is already very good. In the future, when fighting, especially in difficult battles, they can be allocated some explosives to support them and help them overcome difficulties. This is very good.

They are very satisfied.

Sun Ming changed the topic, "I received news from the court before, saying that the reinforcements have already gone north at full speed, and asked us to hold on. Now the 30,000 Xianbei cavalry are heading south. I wonder if the two waves of troops will meet?"

One is heading north and the other is heading south, and the route is the same, "This is very likely." Qin Heng replied.

Tsk, it would be fun if they bump into each other.

"Before, the court kept asking us to hold on. If the reinforcements encounter the Xianbei cavalry this time, I don't know how long they can hold on. I hope they can hold on." Muye said with some gloating, and when he said this, he felt particularly relieved.

Qin Heng glanced outside and said, "Forget about them. Is the action in Dai County about to begin?"

"Oh, it's almost the fifth watch at the fourth watch. It should have already started."
