No one thought that there would be such a brutal fighting in a small town on the southwest border of Dongbo that had never received much attention.
As one of Tuoba Lie's five tiger generals, Xiao Jindong personally led his army to attack the city.
In order to boost morale, he and his soldiers even took off their armor and charged forward naked.
When they arrived outside the city gate, Xiao Jindong and his soldiers hit the city gate with a thick piece of wood.
The Westerners' defense was also very brave. They were well prepared, but they lacked some courage.
After defending for a day, the people from the Western Regions were obviously frightened by the momentum of the Beiye Army.
By midnight, the bodies outside the small town had piled up to half a person's height.
The walls of the small city cannot be compared with those of large cities like Yunzhou, and they are in a state of disrepair. It is difficult for them to defend such a city.
Xiao Jindong, who was hit by three arrows, refused to leave the battlefield. He forced the city gate open and led his troops into the city.
When it comes to face to face, the people from the Western Regions are no match for the Kitano Army.
There was fighting everywhere in the city, and every street and every courtyard was filled with rivers of blood.
After entering the city, the Beiye army attacked even more fiercely, destroying everything.
Only half an hour later, the people from the Western Regions were completely driven out of this border town.
Behind the Beiye Army, under the command of Lin Ye, Dayu's troops were also constantly oppressing the Beiye Army's defense line.
Especially the Qilin Guards who had returned from the Western Regions, and faced the world-famous Beiye Army for the first time on the battlefield, but they showed no signs of cowardice.
Xumi Jinghong led this team on a rampage, fighting head-on with the Beiye Army's cavalry.
After midnight, after the small town was captured, the news was reported to Tuoba Lie, who immediately ordered all the armies to retreat one after another.
The Kitano Army moved back layer by layer, alternately covering.
When daybreak was about to break, less than half of the team had already entered the border town. But it was also at this time that the soldiers of the Kitano Army, who had just seen the hope of life and truly admired the general's judgment, were greeted by another attack.
A moment of despair.
The small town was captured, but the large contingent of the Western Region Allied Forces was not in the city at all.
The wilderness outside the city was densely packed with soldiers from the Western Regions, and it seemed endless.
In front of them were placed a large number of heavy crossbows, and the arrow array formed by archers was so thick that it made people despair.
In front of the arrow formation, shield soldiers specially trained to deal with the Beiye Army formed several layers of solid walls.
Those shields are as tall as a person, and behind the first layer of shield soldiers there are three rows of archers, who have already been prepared.
They seemed to know that this small city, which was not tall and strong, would never be able to block the offensive of the Kitano Army.
The purpose of this small town's existence is to destroy the Kitano Army's troops to the maximum extent possible.
At this moment, under the rising sun, the rows of shields reflected a cold and gloomy light.
Xiao Jindong's face turned ugly when he was covered in blood. He raised his hand and wiped it away. There was blood and sweat.
Tuoba Lie climbed up the city wall, looked at the thick defensive formations outside the city, and frowned.
At this time, the scouts came to report that the soldiers and horses from the Xiangshan Camp had arrived, and the soldiers and horses from the Guzhu Camp had also arrived.
Coupled with the forest leaves from the rear team, they have formed an encirclement on all sides, trapping the Beiye Army in this small town like an iron wall.
"General."
Xiao Jindong looked at Tuoba Lie: "My subordinates can charge again to break through the defense line of the Western Region people and open another way for the general to come out."
Tuoba Lie looked at the man covered in blood, and after a moment, he shook his head.
The seven-nation coalition forces in the Western Region should have no less than 100,000 troops. They only defend but do not attack, so they can last for several days.
The Kitano Army's rear line may not be able to hold out for a few days.
At this moment, behind Lin Ye's team, a group of more than a thousand black-armored cavalry arrived.
After receiving the news, Lin Ye immediately turned around to greet her, only to see his aunt's face was solemn and there was uncontrollable sadness in her eyes.
"Aunt..."
Lin Ye called softly.
Tuoba Yunxi looked at her, then shook his head: "No need to persuade me."
She smiled at Lin Ye: "You know, I must go to see him."
Lin Ye nodded, pulled his horse and went up: "I'll accompany you."
Behind Tuoba Yunxi, Zinai said loudly: "I am also accompanying my aunt."
Xiaohe took a deep breath: "I want to go too."
Tuoba Yunxi just shook his head again: "You don't have to take the risk with me. I just went to persuade him. In the whole world, I am probably the only one who can persuade him a few words at this time."
She looked at Lin Ye: "I have to persuade him to live, but he must not live. I just want to persuade him to bury fewer people with him."
Lin Ye said nothing and pulled Tuoba Yunxi's reins to urge the horse.
Tuoba Yunxi's expression changed: "Go back!"
Lin Ye still didn't say anything, holding the reins of Tuoba Yunxi and walking forward. He wouldn't go. If he didn't let go, Zinai wouldn't go back.
The three people passed through the Jade Army's array and reached the Beiye Army's defense line.
Tuoba Lie on the city wall saw him standing there with a complicated expression.
"General."
Yan Dongzhi said with a trembling voice: "Miss, why is she here?"
Tuoba Lie was silent for a moment and walked slowly down the city wall: "No one needs to follow."
He walked out of Fuyuan City. As he walked out, the soldiers of the Beiye Army stepped out of the way and opened a passage for him.
When Tuoba Yunxi saw Tuoba Lie coming towards her, she felt that she was strong enough and her heart was not that weak.
But she didn't know that tears had already fallen from the corners of her eyes.
Tuoba Lie walked closer and looked up and down a few times.
He said: "The battlefield is so dirty and dusty, why are you still here?"
Without waiting for Tuoba Yunxi to speak, he asked in a gentle tone: "I have been chasing you so hurriedly all the way. I'm afraid I haven't had any rest. You look tired in your eyes and your face looks bad."
Tuoba Yunxi said: "I chased you too fast, and I really didn't get a good rest. I begged three times before I got your Majesty's permission to chase you."
Tuoba Lie hummed: "That's okay. It means he's not just showing off, he really doesn't want you to come. He's also afraid that you'll be in danger. I didn't expect this, but it's okay. I'm very happy."
He asked: "Has His Majesty told you anything? For example, your life experience?"
Tuoba Yunxi shook his head: "I didn't say anything."
Tuoba Lie said as if talking to himself: "It's strange that such a ruthless person treats you with sincerity."
He asked: "Are you chasing me in such a hurry to see me off?"
Tuoba Yunxi was silent for a while, then nodded heavily: "Send it off to you."
Tuoba Lie laughed because of these words and nodded: "Then it's worth it."
He smiled and said: "No matter why His Majesty sent you here in the first place, the brother and sister we have been together for more than ten years are real. No matter what my ending will be in the future, I, Tuoba Lie's sister, should live well."
Tuoba Yunxi nodded: "I will...brother."
Tuoba Lie hummed, then looked at Lin Ye and said, "Can you do it?"
Lin Ye didn't answer, just looked at Tuoba Lie.
Tuoba Lie snorted: "You have no courage at all. You don't look like a man at all. She is not as good as my sister."
He said: "I still feel that no man in the world is worthy of her, and neither are you."
Lin Ye saw Tuoba Lie taking a step forward, so he also moved forward and stood in front of Tuoba Yunxi.
Tuoba Lie smiled and said: "Do you think I would do anything to my sister? For more than ten years, she has always been the one to beat me. How could I dare to hit her?"
Tuoba Yunxi's eyes were red, and tears were still flowing down silently.
But Lin Ye just held the reins of Tuoba Yunxi's war horse, and held the formation knife tightly with the other hand.
He didn't believe Tuoba Lie.
That's a hero.
Because of his reaction, Tuoba Lie laughed and nodded: "It seems you can do it."
Tuoba Lie looked at Tuoba Yunxi again and said, "Since you are here to see me off, you probably also want to persuade me to surrender."
Tuoba Yunxi nodded.
Tuoba Lie said: "Then you should know that for my crime, my surrender will be the result of execution in Lingchi. If Your Majesty learns that I surrender, you will probably look down on me. You know, I don't like to be looked down upon by others the most in my life.
Especially opponents."
Tuoba Yunxi nodded again.
Tuoba Lie: "But you still came."
Tuoba Yunxi looked at the Beiye Army soldiers behind Tuoba Lie and said nothing, but the meaning in his eyes was enough.
Tuoba Lie laughed: "Do you think they will agree to let them become prisoners and criminals, exiled to remote places as slaves, and throw away all the pride and glory of the Beiye Army in order to survive?"
Having said this, he looked at Lin Ye again: "Use your ability to prove that you can do it. I'm waiting for you."
He took two steps back, then cupped his fists towards Tuoba Yunxi: "Thank you, brother. For more than ten years, I have had a girl to pamper me, and I am very satisfied."
Tuoba Yunxi opened his mouth, but at this moment he could no longer utter a word.
Tuoba Lie smiled and said: "Go back in a while, don't stay here for too long, the smell of blood here is strong, don't get it all over you, you have a strong temper, but I know you are afraid of seeing blood, and...
.Don’t always wear clothes of this color in the future. When you were a child, I praised you for looking good in goose-yellow clothes, so remember it and try to wear it as little as possible in the future. It’s best not to wear it at all. After all, it will remind you of your brother.”
Then turn around and go back.
The soldiers of the Beiye Army closed the passage one by one, but everyone still held their weapons tightly.
They looked at their eldest lady. At this moment, they were still determined, but when they looked at the eldest lady, there was no hostility.
Maybe, they will never be hostile to the eldest lady.
Tuoba Lie walked back and shouted loudly: "The eldest lady wants you to surrender. You tell the eldest lady whether you surrender or not!"
"No surrender!"
"No surrender!"
"No surrender!"
This group of men from the Beiye Army shouted three times in a row, and the sound shook the sky.
Tuoba Lie burst out laughing, and then shouted: "Since you won't surrender, then send the eldest lady off for me."
The soldiers of the Kitano Army, who were still in strict formation, all stood in awe.
They shouted in the direction of Tuoba Yunxi: "Congratulations, Miss!"
Tuoba Lie shouted loudly: "Shout again, be neater, let the young lady see that you are not afraid!"
"Bei Yejun, congratulations to the eldest lady!"
The soldiers of the Kitano Army shouted again.
Tuoba Lie laughed loudly, walked through the array, and strode up the city wall.
He stood on the city wall holding the sword in his left hand, raised his right hand and waved it in the direction of Tuoba Yunxi.
"May the eldest lady be happy, healthy and live a long life!"
Standing on the city wall during the cold winter solstice, I shouted.
The soldiers of the Beiye Army shouted in the direction of Tuoba Yunxi's horse.
"May the eldest lady be happy, healthy and live a long life!"
"Miss, keep walking and don't look back."
"Boyano and everyone, congratulations to the eldest lady!"
