Chapter 577: Linyuan City Is Broken, Duan Qifeng Flees

Yang Zhengshan stayed in Yemi City for five days, and only led his soldiers to leave after the number of Hu cavalry around Yemi City increased.

Although they captured Yemi City, there were still many tribes of Wuliang tribe around Yemi City. Most of the elites of these tribes followed Wutu to the south, but there were still many young and strong.

A little bit added up, and the young and strong from many tribes began to gather, and soon there were more than ten thousand people gathered around Yemi City.

However, these young and strong people of Wuliang tribe were scattered. Although they were gathering, they did not stand up to lead. The reason was very simple. The high-ranking officials of Wuliang tribe either followed Wutu to the south or were slaughtered by the army under Yang Zhengshan in Yemi City.

Now there are only a few small leaders left in Wuliang tribe. These small leaders do not have enough prestige to convince the public, and naturally they cannot organize a decent counterattack.

Although these mobs posed no threat to Yang Zhengshan, this was the royal court of the Wuliang King's Court after all. As time went on, more young and strong Hu people would definitely gather here, so Yang Zhengshan did not plan to stay here for too long.

After the soldiers had rested and the horses had eaten and drunk enough, they slowly withdrew from Yemi City with carts of wealth and food.

Of course, they would not return Yemi City to the Wuliang Hu tribe.

Before withdrawing from Yemi City, they had already ignited a raging fire in the city, and Yang Zhengshan also took the opportunity to collect the wealth that could not be taken away openly into the Lingquan space.

Various precious furs, various rare medicinal materials, various jades, various rare minerals, etc., and even Yang Zhengshan collected the remaining food into the Lingquan space.

Even if these foods cannot be taken out, they can be placed in the space as food for livestock and poultry.

Now in the Lingquan space, in addition to horses, there are many animals.

Cows, sheep, chickens, ducks are very common, and there are many birds and beasts.

When he and Yu Qingyi were in Wanshanling before, they also caught a nest of little tigers and raised them in the Lingquan space.

At present, a biosphere has been formed in the Lingquan space. Although this biosphere is not perfect, Yang Zhengshan will gradually supplement the species in the space and slowly turn the space into a stable and sustainable biosphere.

Of course, this is an extremely slow process, and perhaps the space will become wider.

At present, Yang Zhengshan can't take care of these. He is slowly retreating north with his soldiers.

At the end of Miluling, the army is bypassing the mountains and marching north. Yang Zhengshan rides on Hongyun and looks at Yemi City in the west.

The smoke in Yemi City is billowing, and the surrounding dozens of miles of sky and earth are smoked black and gray.

This fire should burn for a long time. Not only are the buildings in the city burning, but there are also a lot of biofuels in the city, such as corpses!

Before leaving, Yang Zhengshan asked his soldiers to set fire to hundreds of houses, all of which were easy to burn and had many corpses.

Even from more than ten miles away, the smell of burning corpses could be smelled.

"My Lord, they are following us!" Yang Chengxu rode to Yang Zhengshan's side and pointed to the shore of Sulor Lake in the south.

Yang Zhengshan said with a cold face: "After nightfall, you lead the soldiers to charge and kill them. They are just a group of rabble!"

"Yes!" Yang Chengxu responded.

This surprise attack on Yemi City caused great losses to the Wuliang King's Court, but the biggest loss should be the Wuliang tribe.

The Wuliang King's Court has nine tribes. Excluding the Ula Tribe and Liangwang Tribe, which are just for show, the Wuliang Tribe is the strongest among the remaining seven tribes.

After all, the Wuliang Tribe is a tribe owned by the royal family of the Wuliang King's Court. Wu Tuo can be in charge of the Wuliang King's Court because he has the support of the Wuliang Tribe behind him.

The attack on Yemi City did not have a great impact on other tribes, such as the Chici Tribe, the Kelei Tribe, the Alaman Tribe, etc. Their losses in Yemi City were almost negligible.

But the Wuliang Tribe was different. This royal city was also the flag land of the Wuliang Tribe.

The flag land was destroyed, and the wealth accumulated over hundreds of years went into Yang Zhengshan's pocket. Although Wutuo still had 120,000 elite cavalry, how could he support so many elite cavalry without these wealth?

In short, Wutuo's days will be difficult in the future. He not only has to take the trouble to support his people, but also has to guard against rebellion from other tribes.

In the past, Wutuo could deter other tribes, but it may not be the case in the future.

Perhaps it will not be long before there will be a rebellion in the Wuliang Royal Court.

And this is the best result for Yang Zhengshan.

The Wuliang Hu tribe is in turmoil, but the threat to the border of Darong has not completely disappeared. In this way, Chongshan Town and Beiyuan Town still need to exist, and the Darong court should not have other thoughts about Chongshan Town.

That night, Yang Zhengshan and his men rested on the hillside on the east side of Milu Mountain.

At night, Yang Chengxu led 5,000 soldiers to charge at the young and strong Hu people who followed them. As Yang Zhengshan said, they were just a mob and were not to be feared at all.

With just one attack, tens of thousands of young and strong Hu people scattered like birds and beasts.

In the next two days, Yang Zhengshan led the remaining troops to march north.

Because the army carried a lot of property and food, their marching speed was not very fast, and they only marched a hundred miles a day.

And on the third day after Yang Zhengshan and his men left Yemi City, Wutuo, who was far outside Linyuan City, finally received a request for help from Yemi City.

In the big tent of the camp, Wutuo's face flushed as he listened to the report of a tired Hu soldier.

"My king, the royal city has been broken and has fallen into the hands of the enemy!"

The Hu soldier crouched on the ground, speaking with an unstable breath.

He was the first to deliver the letter, but he was definitely not the last.

After hearing this, Wu Tuo felt his head buzzing, "How could this happen? How could this happen?"

He sat down on the chair covered with bear skin, feeling dizzy and his heart aching.

The royal city is gone?

This was a result he had never expected.

Beiyuan Town in the south could not go north at all, and Chongshan Town in the east was blocked by Menghe Mountain. Even if the enemy penetrated deep into the heart of the royal court, it should not threaten the royal city.

Longbei Town in the west had weak troops, let alone taking the initiative to attack. They were lucky that the Wuliang Hu tribe did not attack them.

He had already prepared for possible enemies around him, but the result was that the royal city was broken.

He did not know that it was Yang Zhengshan who attacked the royal city, but he knew very well that once his royal city was broken, his royal city would no longer exist.

"Your Majesty, let's withdraw our troops!" Aguche said anxiously.

His family is still in the royal city. Not only his family, but also the families of most generals in the army are in the royal city.

If the royal city is destroyed, what about their families?

Wutuo suddenly raised his head, his eyes bloodshot and looked at the generals in the tent, "No, we can't withdraw, we will soon be able to break through Linguan Fort!"

"The royal city will be fine, the national master is still in the royal city, with the national master guarding the royal city, the royal city will definitely be fine!"

Wutuo didn't want to give up. He had been attacking Linyuan City for nearly a month. Seeing that the city was about to be broken, asking him to withdraw his troops at this time would be tantamount to failure.

"Your Majesty, think twice!"

Aguche and other generals advised.

"Shut up, continue the siege, we must take Linyuan City tomorrow!"

He grabbed Aguche's armor, screamed at the top of his lungs, and said like a madman: "If we retreat now, we will be defeated. We can't retreat. We absolutely can't retreat! Do you understand?"

Although he fell into madness, his mind was still clear.

They didn't achieve anything in this battle!

They have been wasting time outside Linyuan City. The 120,000 troops spent more than a month, but they didn't even take down a city!

What about other tribes?

They scattered around Beiyuan Town, attacked cities and made rapid progress. They had already penetrated Beiyuan Town, and some tribes had even entered Longyuan.

They plundered a lot of wealth and were at the time of the most gains.

Compared with the two, the Wuliang tribe not only did not gain anything, but also suffered losses outside Linyuan City. What's more terrible is that their royal city was lost.

Wutuo could imagine that if he withdrew his troops now, his prestige in the Wuliang King's court would fall to the bottom, and the tribes would be in turmoil.

Only by conquering Linyuan City could he maintain some prestige and have a certain deterrence on those tribes.

Otherwise, there would be rebellion within the Wuliang Hu tribe.

Wutuo had just subdued the tribes for a few years, and he knew the thoughts of those vassal kings too well.

No mistakes!

The stronger the Wuliang tribe, the more loyal the vassal kings, but once the Wuliang tribe showed its weakness, those vassal kings would become the biggest threat to the Wuliang tribe.

Agu Che stared at Wutuo in a daze. He was Wutuo's trusted general. His prestige and strength in the Wuliang tribe were not weak, but he was far inferior to Wutuo in terms of wisdom.

"My king, we~~"

Wutuo let go of his hand, closed his eyes slightly, and slumped in the chair.

"Once we retreat, the Alaman and Huiba tribes will inevitably rebel. We can retreat, but we must first capture Linyuan City. Only in this way can we return with a great victory!"

His voice was a little weak, as if the roar just now had drained all his strength.

Aguche took a deep breath and knelt down and said: "My king, I will personally lead the elite troops to attack the city tomorrow!"

He also figured it out.

Utuo nodded weakly, "Very good, very good! Tomorrow you all go to battle, and we will not stop fighting until we capture Linyuan City!"

The next morning.

The attack of the Wuliang army became extremely violent, and tens of thousands of Hu troops rushed towards the city wall desperately.

In the city, Duan Qifeng looked at the fighting on the city wall with a gloomy face.

In terms of military strength, the two sides are actually about the same.

Utuo has 120,000 elite cavalry, Duan Qifeng has 100,000 town standard camps, and Duan Qifeng also has the advantage of a strong city.

However, in the past month, the Zhenbiao Battalion under Duan Qifeng suffered heavy casualties. His Zhenbiao Battalion was not as good as the elite cavalry under Wu Tuo.

This made him feel very embarrassed.

Today, the Hu army outside the city attacked the city like crazy without caring about casualties, which made him feel cold.

"Report, General, the outer city gate has been breached, General Li requests support!" A messenger ran in a hurry and reported.

Duan Qifeng heard this and his face changed slightly, "Protective Battalion, follow me to fight!"

He no longer had any reserve troops in his hands. At this time, all the reserve troops had already climbed the city wall to fight, and only he had two thousand personal guards around him.

"Kill!"

Duan Qifeng took the lead and rushed to the city wall, holding a broad-backed thick knife in his hand. He rushed and killed all the enemy troops on the wall of the city wall, but the city was already occupied by the Hu tribe, and hundreds of Hu soldiers were carrying battering wood and hitting the city gate inside the city.

"Shoot!"

Duan Qifeng saw this and quickly gave the order.

But at this moment, a scimitar suddenly appeared beside him.

Duan Qifeng reacted quickly and immediately pulled back, but he seemed to be a little slower. The scimitar cut his shoulder armor and left a deep wound on his right shoulder.

Innate warrior!

Duan Qifeng had no time to think about it, so he counterattacked.

The next moment, the two fought together.

The one who fought with him was not someone else, but Uto's confidant general Aguche.

The two of them had almost the same cultivation level. They had just broken through to the innate realm, but Duan Qifeng was soon at a disadvantage.

The defects of Xuling Blood Refining Technique are fully reflected at this moment.

Compared with the same level, using shortcuts to improve your cultivation is far less stable than being down-to-earth.

It was obvious that they had just broken through to the innate realm for a few years, but Duan Qifeng's strength was far inferior to Aguche.

In just over a dozen rounds, Duan Qifeng got three consecutive blows, and two blood-red wounds were added to his chest and abdomen.

At the same time, the battle on the city wall became more and more intense, and a large number of Hu soldiers climbed up the city wall and fought with the soldiers of Beiyuan Town.

The more Duan Qifeng beat, the more anxious he became, and the more anxious he was, the more messy the blade in his hand became.

With a bang, Aguche kicked Duan Qifeng heavily in the chest. Duan Qifeng vomited blood suddenly, and his whole body flew from the city wall like a cannonball.

Aguche had a hideous smile on his face, holding a scimitar in his hand, following him like a shadow, trying to kill Duan Qifeng with one knife.

At this moment, a short sword flew over and landed accurately on Aguche's scimitar. Aguche's offensive slowed down and his body paused for a moment.

Duan Qifeng only felt a flash in front of his eyes, and a gorgeous face appeared in his eyes, which made him happy.

"lady!"

Fei Mingyue's eyes were filled with heartache, "Sir, let's go!"

After saying that, she helped Duan Qifeng up and flew towards the south gate.

Aguche frowned, but in the end he didn't choose to pursue.

He still had a little doubt in his heart, why didn't the other party fight him?

Two innate warriors join forces, he should not be the opponent.

Duan Qifeng fled and Linyuan City was completely invaded.

Tens of thousands of Hu tribes flocked into the city, Beiyuan Town was defeated and a large number of soldiers began to flee. Countless soldiers were blocked at the south city gate, so crowded that they wanted to escape from the city, and many soldiers were even trampled to death.

The battle is basically over, and the remaining battles are only siege and pursuit.

Linyuan City was still lost, and Beiyuan Town was completely defeated.

Duan Qifeng escaped from Linyuan City, but not far from them escaped from Linyuan City, Fei Mingyue took him to hide in an empty hundred-household house.
