Chapter 563 Rapidly Lost
Here, Tuoba Khan was just about to take a rest when he heard a burst of fighting coming from the direction of Dai County.
Tuoba Khan was stunned. What happened in Dai County?
"Khan, scouts have been sent to investigate. It won't be long before there is news."
Tuoba Khan couldn't sleep at all. He got up and went to the king's tent.
Not long after, other people came. They had just dispersed for a while, and many of them had just lain down. When they heard that something happened in Dai County, they got up one by one, cursing.
"Khan, from the sound, it should be fighting at the east gate of Dai County." A general said so. They had been attacking Yanmen and Dai County for a while, and they had conquered the two counties before, so their Xianbei generals were familiar with the two counties.
Tuoba Khan hissed, "East Gate, Pingzhou?"
Others didn't say anything. The one attacking Dai County should be Pingzhou.
Tuoba Khan's guess was soon confirmed.
How could Pingzhou suddenly attack Dai County?
Before, when the Xianbei and Sun's army were fighting to the death, they were on guard against Pingzhou, but Pingzhou turned a blind eye and looked like he was only focused on himself.
Now Pingzhou suddenly attacked and caught them off guard.
At the same time, they were also very annoyed. They had judged before that Yanmen and Daijun were about to collapse. If they worked harder, they would be able to get these two places. Now that Yanmen is in their hands, and Daijun is taken, it will be perfect.
"Pingzhou is like this, it's obvious that he wants to pick peaches!"
"But, should we send troops?"
Everyone looked at Tuoba Khan.
Tuoba Khan's brows were tightly knitted at this time. Just after Yanmen was in trouble, Daijun was attacked by Pingzhou. How could it be so coincidental?
Tuoba Khan is currently in a dilemma. If he ignores it, the fruit will be picked.
If he pays attention, what if it is a trap?
At present, the Xianbei army has suffered a heavy blow. The 300,000 troops stationed outside Bingzhou have lost more than half of their troops in the siege during this period. As the attacking party, the Xianbei will suffer even more losses.
In addition, the 50,000 troops lost their combat effectiveness this night, and the overall loss is nearly half.
If the decision is wrong again, the blow to them, the Xianbei, will be unprecedented.
But how can we not try? They finally beat Yanmen and Daijun to a layer of blood skin. If they fight another siege, they can take it into their pockets after beating off this layer of blood skin.
If Pingzhou is allowed to reap the fruits in the end, it will be unacceptable!
"Send troops, speed!"
At this time, the East Gate and the North Gate of Daijun are completely different.
The North Gate is on full alert, and everyone is preparing defensive supplies.
The overall atmosphere at the East Gate is much lighter.
From a distance, it looked like the two armies were fighting, but in places they couldn't see, the soldiers of the two sides were laughing and joking.
It should be said that the soldiers of the Sun family army in Dai County were eating hot supper and watching the performance of the Pingzhou soldiers.
The soldier shouted at the top of his voice, "Everyone shout with me, charge - kill - they can't hold on!" After shouting this, he lowered his voice and asked, "How about it, is it okay to shout like this?"
The soldiers below commented, "It's a bit exaggerated, lacking some true feelings."
The friends on the Pingzhou side also said, "Yes, don't just howl, have some feelings."
"Yes, yes, not only should you shout louder, but also more realistically!"
"Okay, then I'll do it again!"
At the north gate, after everything was ready, the soldiers took a short rest on the spot.
"Boss, do you think the Xianbei will attack us?"
"Of course they will!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the soldier next to him shouting, "Boss, here they come, the Xianbei army is coming!"
The generals leading the troops this time were Tuoba Yu and Yuchi Rui. They thought that the defenders of Dai County were fighting fiercely with the Pingzhou army in Dongcheng, and they could get an advantage by attacking quickly.
But when Yuchi Rui found that their first wave of attack was not going well, and was just doubting it, Le Guicai appeared on the city wall.
"Hi, General Yuchi, long time no see."
Yuchi Rui's heart sank when he saw Le Guicai.
Tuoba Yu and Yuchi Rui looked at each other. They both recognized Le Guicai. The general of Pingzhou appeared. Could it be that Dai County had fallen into the hands of Pingzhou?
It was lost so quickly, "The defenders of Dai County must not have defended the city hard!" Tuoba Yu said angrily.
Yuchi Rui didn't say anything. There is no doubt that if Dai County took the attitude of defending them Xianbei before, it would never fall in less than an hour!
"Let's continue the second wave of attack!" Yuchi Rui said. We have already sent out troops, so we can't just turn around and leave. Whether we can win or not, we have to give it a try.
Tuoba Yu nodded, although he was still upset that the Xianbei missed a good opportunity.
Not surprisingly, the Xianbei's attack on Dai ended in failure and returned in defeat.
Pingzhou, after taking over Dai County, resisted the first offensive of the Xianbei army. After repelling the Xianbei army, they began to clean up the battlefield.
...
Not long after dawn, Yang Yingqin's troops, who were camping in the wild, brought back two men with heavy bags but panicked expressions to see Yang Yingqin, saying that they had a situation to report.
"Are you telling the truth?"
"Yes, sir, we dare not lie to you." The two men said in fear.
Yang Yingqin didn't expect that there was an earth dragon flipping accident in Yanmen last night, and both the Sun family army and the Xianbei army suffered heavy losses.
Just then, the scouts came to report that a cavalry of tens of thousands of Xianbei people were coming in their direction.
Yang Yingqin could only temporarily put aside the problem in his mind and ordered his troops to retreat to the woods to prepare for the enemy.
In this encounter, Yang Yingqin's imperial army lost nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses, and finally Yang Yingqin retreated to Xinxing City with the remnants.
The loss of this Xianbei cavalry army was very small, only two or three thousand people and horses were lost.
Yang Yingqin, who retreated to Xinxing City, was very uncomfortable facing such a huge gap. But now that Yanmen has been lost, he can only wait for the follow-up large troops to arrive, build fortifications, and resist the Xianbei army.
But he has been asking people to find out the news of Yanmen and Dai County.
Soon, he learned that Dai County fell into the hands of Pingzhou.
In addition, the people who kept fleeing brought a message that Yanmen was shaken, and nearly 100,000 people were killed in the Sun family army and the Xianbei army. The city was full of corpses, and the Sun family army was almost annihilated.
The news spread quickly and in a very clear manner.
Yang Yingqin couldn't believe that the Sun family army in Yanmen was completely wiped out?
No one from the Xianbei side came out to refute it, as if they tacitly agreed to the news.
Xianbei: The big commotion in Yanmen that night must be a dragon turning over! If it wasn't a dragon turning over, would it admit that it was being plotted against? And it was so miserable?
Yang Yingqin didn't want to believe that Yanmen and Dai County were both lost, just two days away! And there was no sign in advance! It was lost quietly!
Thinking of the memorials that Sun Ming sent to Chang'an to request support, the military supervisor Ji Xiufeng's eyes turned again and again, but he didn't say a word. He was extremely glad that he ran fast, otherwise he might be a corpse now, terrible!
