Chapter 113 What? The War Is Over?

Soon, Lin Xiuming's scout cavalry arrived at the foot of Yancheng. One of the soldiers shouted loudly: "We are the army sent by the court to support the Northern King. The general is Lin Xiuming. Please open the gate immediately! Let us in!"

Hearing this, the soldiers of Yancheng were very nervous. At this time, a captain guarding the gate immediately said: "The Northern King is resisting the barbarian army at the north gate! Please wait! We will report first!"

Hearing this, a soldier instantly got angry, "What's the point of reporting? The barbarian army is here, why don't you let us in quickly? Go! If something happens to the Northern King, can you gatekeepers take responsibility? "

The captain said again: "Don't worry, now is a critical period, we need to confirm your identity is the imperial army.

Hearing this, the scout had to follow the procedure, show them the official documents, and let the soldiers at the South Gate confirm their identities.

Seeing that the soldiers of Yancheng seemed to be stalling for time, Lin Xiuming's face became more and more ugly.

At this time, Lin Xiuming's deputy general Zhou Yu said beside Lin Xiuming: "General, Yancheng has not really been occupied by the barbarians? Why do I feel that the soldiers guarding the city don't want us to go in. "

Zhou Yu is someone close to the Eighth Prince, so he naturally wants to see the Northern King captured by the barbarians. If Yancheng is captured, Zhou Yu will not think that this is a loss for Daxia.

After hearing Zhou Yu's words, Lin Xiuming just looked at the city in front of him expressionlessly and did not speak.

He heard from Zhou Yu's tone that Zhou Yu seemed to want to see something happen to the Northern King. Lin Xiuming is not a fool. When he left the capital, he knew that Zhou Yu was the Eighth Prince's man.

As a child of the Prime Minister's family, Lin Xiuming is still very familiar with the situation in the court.

At this time, Zhou Yu continued: "General, if Yancheng is really occupied by the barbarians, then we should retreat as soon as possible. If we wait for the barbarian army to catch up, I am afraid that our 70,000 people will be destroyed. "

After hearing this, Lin Xiuming said coldly: "Deputy General Zhou, you seem to want to see something happen to the Northern King? "

Zhou Yu hurriedly said: "General, you misunderstood me. I just think that if Yancheng is lost, there is no need to defend Beijun anymore."

Hearing this, Lin Xiuming turned his head and looked at Zhou Yu, then said seriously: "Today, Beijun is given to the barbarians, and tomorrow, the fief of King Qi is also given to the barbarians. Then, should the whole Daxia be given to the barbarians the day after tomorrow?"

Zhou Yu saw that Lin Xiuming was angry, so he immediately shut up and said nothing more.

Lin Xiuming turned his head and looked at the tower of Yancheng again. At this time, the flag of King Bei was still hanging on the tower. He guessed that Yancheng had not been lost. It was very likely that the barbarian army was indeed in the Wanning River Valley as the soldiers defending the city said.

Now we just need to wait for the order of King Bei. When King Bei knows that the imperial army is coming, he will definitely let them enter Yancheng immediately to help Yancheng resist the barbarians.

With their 70,000 people, it is likely that there will be no problem in defending Yancheng.

Lin Xiuming tried his best to make himself go in a good direction Thinking, now they can only think in a positive direction. If Yancheng is really occupied at this time, then they will definitely not be able to take Yancheng back. In the end, they will most likely have to flee back to the fiefdom of King Qi in a panic, and then return to the capital to accept punishment.

After about half an hour, the gate of the South City was finally opened.

Seeing the gate open, Lin Xiuming was relieved. He was ready for the battle.

At this time, a soldier rode out of the city on a horse and said loudly: "The war against the barbarians is over. The prince asked me to inform you to go to Wanning River Valley as soon as possible to clean up the battlefield."

Hearing this, Lin Xiuming and other soldiers were stunned.

What?

The war is over?

How is this possible!

Could it be that Yancheng has really been occupied by the barbarians?

Is this a trap?

The barbarians want to wait until their 70,000 people enter the city and then destroy them?

Just as they thought so, Lin Xiuming took the lead and ran directly to the city gate.

"Soldiers, follow me into the city! "

However, whether Yancheng has been occupied by the barbarians, Lin Xiuming must personally verify it, even if their 70,000 people are attacked by the barbarians at that time.

Their 70,000 people originally came to Beijun to resist the barbarians. If the barbarians did not see them, and they ran away, would this make sense?

Seeing Lin Xiuming move, the soldiers also took action immediately, and the army followed Lin Xiuming and slowly entered the city.

However, all the soldiers were very vigilant. These 70,000 troops were elite soldiers who had been on the battlefield, and they still had the necessary caution.

After Lin Xiuming entered the city, he found that there were still sparse civilians on the street.

However, most of the civilians were in the room, half-opened the door, and peeked outside.

The civilians naturally knew that the barbarian army was attacking Yancheng, so they did not dare to go out.

At this time, a messenger shouted loudly: "Great victory in Beijun! Great victory in Yancheng! The King of Bei led the soldiers of Beijun to kill 200,000 barbarian soldiers and captured 100,000 barbarian soldiers! "

The messengers kept shuttling through every street in the city, constantly announcing the results of the war loudly.

Soon the imperial army that entered the city heard the messenger's shouting.

When the imperial officers and soldiers heard the messenger say that the Northern King led the Northern County army to kill 200,000 soldiers and captured 100,000 barbarian soldiers, they were stunned.

The first thing they thought of was that this was fake news!

Most of the soldiers in the 70,000 troops led by Lin Xiuming had fought against the barbarians, and they were very clear about the fighting power of the barbarians.

Let alone 300,000 troops, if there were no cities, it would not be easy for them to defeat the barbarians with their 70,000 troops and the 50,000 troops of the barbarians.

As a result, the messenger of Beijun said that the King of Bei led the army of Beijun to defeat the 300,000 barbarian troops?

Not only defeated, but also killed 200,000 barbarian soldiers, and captured 100,000 barbarian soldiers, which can be said to be a complete annihilation.

Is it possible?

What a joke!

How many soldiers does Beijun have? Let alone defeating the barbarian army, even defending Beijun is already quite difficult.

If they really have this strength, the court would not send 70,000 troops to support them.

Lin Xiuming was a little confused. Why did the King of Bei let people spread this fake news in the city.

This is not true.

Anyone with a bit of brains knows that the Northern King can't defeat the 300,000 barbarian troops.

What's more, the false news that the Northern King spread was too fake. If you said that you repelled the barbarian attack, I'm afraid the people would believe it.

As a result, you said that you killed 200,000 barbarian troops and captured 100,000 barbarian soldiers!

Who would believe this?

There are reasons behind everything. Lin Xiuming now wants to know what the Northern King wants to do.

Then he said to the soldiers behind him: "Speed ​​up the march and meet up with the Northern King as soon as possible."

About two quarters of an hour later, Lin Xiuming finally arrived at the north gate of Yancheng with the 70,000 troops of the court.

At this time, Lu Chen was standing on the city tower, looking to the north.

A soldier from Beijun came to Lin Xiuming and said, "General Lin, the Northern King is waiting for you on the city tower!"
