Do you have the strength to force me to join the Liangshan bandits?

Chapter 669 Dongxian Attendant: There's an old saying in the Central Plains: "Luring the snake out of its hole!" [3rd update, requesting monthly votes]

When Nianhan arrived, the soldiers of the Horse Hoof Kingdom were rushing back as if they had just finished the last subject of the college entrance examination.

However, only a few arrows were fired sporadically from the walls of Yanjing, as if it were just a formality...

"waste!"

Nianhan was furious:
You rush over there, they shoot a few arrows, and then you rush back...

Are you doing your morning exercise?

Are you sweating?

Upon seeing Nianhan's anger, his twin generals, Shawenjin and Shawenyin, rushed forward and whipped the fleeing soldiers of the Horseshoe Kingdom!
Marshal Hei Fenggao of the Horseshoe Kingdom dared not speak out against his anger.

Compared to the Jin Dynasty, the Horseshoe Kingdom was just a tiny country.

However, Hei Fenggao's resentment deepened.

If even the commander-in-chief is like this, then the soldiers are even more so.

"Come again!"

Nianhan, his face grim, pressed Hei Fenggao:
"This time I will personally oversee the battle. Anyone who flees without a fight will be executed!"

Hei Feng Gao was speechless: Why weren't you this ruthless when you used your own troops?

However, Hei Fenggao dared not disobey Nianhan's orders, as the Jin state had already replaced the Liao state as the hegemon of the northern frontier.

As a small country like theirs, they could be easily destroyed by the Jin Dynasty, so they had no choice but to be driven by the Jin Dynasty against their will.

Hei Feng Gao waved his hand, and amidst the sound of war drums, the soldiers of the Horse Hoof Kingdom had no choice but to charge towards the city wall once again.

The moat has been filled in during the many days of alternating sieges, creating a main road that leads directly to the city walls.

"Charge! Kill the duck!"

The soldiers of the Horseshoe Kingdom shouted weakly, and when they were within an arrow's reach, a volley of arrows rained down from the city walls:
"Whoosh whoosh—"

Several of the Horseshoe Kingdom soldiers who were at the forefront fell, and the rest of the Horseshoe Kingdom soldiers turned around and ran away!

However, Sha Wenjin and Sha Wenyin, leading the Jin soldiers' supervisory team, were already waiting for them with long spears and broadswords!
"His Highness has decreed that anyone who flees without a fight shall be executed!"

With a fierce roar, Sha Wenjin pierced five holes in the head with his five-pronged flaming fork!

"Those who flee without a fight shall be executed!"

Sha Wenyin shouted back with murderous intent, swung his broadsword, and cut down a soldier from the Horseshoe Kingdom!

With the two generals leading the way, the Jin soldiers slaughtered the retreating Ma Ti Kingdom soldiers like wolves and tigers!

"stop!"

Black Wind's eyes turned bloodshot, and he suddenly drew his sword:

These are all his soldiers!
"Black Marshal!"

Nianhan glared at him fiercely: "Are you going to personally execute the deserters?"

Nianhan's eyes were like those of a hungry wolf, a deep, green light that made Hei Fenggao sweat profusely and unable to move.

Temujin wanted to blacklist Feng Gao, but he had no excuse, since Nianhan's killing of deserters was justified.

Just then, a thunderous roar suddenly came from the direction of the Jin army camp!

Nianhan, Heifenggao, and Temujin were all stunned. After a two-second pause, Temujin suddenly realized what was happening:

"Cannons! These are cannons!"

"hiss--"

Nianhan couldn't help but gasp:
Cannons were the siege weapons of the southern barbarians!

Although the Jin Dynasty bought twenty cannons, they shouldn't have bombed their own military camp!

"not good!"

Temujin's expression changed drastically: "Your Highness, I'm afraid it's the southern barbarians who have launched a sneak attack on our camp!"

Ignoring the high temperature of the CPU black wind, Nianhan hurriedly shouted:
"Withdraw troops! Rescue the main camp!"

The Jin soldiers quickly mounted their horses and escorted Nianhan to the Jin army camp.

Temujin and Hei Fenggao exchanged a glance. Hei Fenggao shook his head with a wry smile and organized his men to retreat. As soon as they withdrew, they were spotted on the city wall.

The general guarding the city today, Yelü Dehua, immediately went to report to the Wolf Lord, Yelü Hui.

Yelü Hui immediately summoned several important civil and military officials to discuss the matter.

"Wolf Lord, it must be the Qi army coming to our rescue!"

Ouyang, the Vice Minister, said excitedly, "We should take this opportunity to go out of the city and kill the enemy, and attack them from both sides with the Qi army!"
"In this way, the Jin army will surely be defeated!"

"slow!"

Dongxian Shilang immediately jumped out to object:
"Minister Ouyang, you are mistaken!"

"I ask you, when did your two imperial nephews break through the encirclement?"

Vice Minister Ouyang calculated with his fingers: "It has been seven or eight days since then!"

"Will we be able to reach Qingzhou in seven or eight days?"

When Dongxian pressed Ouyang for answers, Ouyang could only shake his head.
"We cannot reach Qingzhou..."

"Therefore, the two imperial nephews must either seek help from Cangzhou, Mozhou, or Tanzhou!"

Dongxian Shilang said confidently, "No matter which state can spare more than 20,000 troops!"
"How could a mere 20,000 men possibly force the Jin army to retreat?"

Minister Ouyang was speechless and could only ask in return:
"If that's the case, why do you think the Jin soldiers suddenly retreated?"

There's an old saying in the Central Plains: "Lure the snake out of its hole!"

Dongxian Shilang stroked his goatee and said confidently:

"The Jin army's repeated attacks on the city for many days all ended in failure!"
"In my opinion, the Jin soldiers are probably trying to lure us out by pretending that their camp has been attacked!"
"If we go out of the city to fight the enemy, we'll fall into their trap!"

Upon hearing that both sides had valid points, the Wolf Lord Yelü Hui asked the Commander-in-Chief Wuyan Guang:

"What do you think, my dear minister?"

Wuyan Guang was the top general of the Liao Kingdom. He was proficient in all eighteen martial arts, well-versed in military strategy, and possessed the courage of ten thousand men!
He was over eight feet tall, with a fair complexion, red lips, yellow beard, and green eyes. He was dignified and imposing!
The Commander-in-Chief was the top military leader of the Liao Dynasty, so not only Yelü Hui asked him, but all the civil and military officials present also turned their attention to him.

Wuyan Guang pondered for two seconds: "Wolf Lord, this servant believes that what Dongxian Attendant said makes sense!"

Dongxian glanced smugly at Ouyang, who shook his head helplessly.

Left Chancellor Youxi Bojin and Right Chancellor Grand Tutor Chu Jian exchanged a glance and both indicated that they had no objections.

Therefore, Yelü Hui decided to remain inactive and observe the situation.

……

The Jin army camp.

"What's done is done, we've lost..."

Seeing the Jin army camp in chaos, and the Qi army's battle cries like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing down, Marshal Wu Guolong of Yan Kingdom shook his head with a wry smile:
"What can I do?"

"Brother is wrong!"

His brother, Wu Guohu, said, "It was the Jin army that was defeated, what does it have to do with our Yan Kingdom?"

Wu Guolong was taken aback: "That's true..."

"Brother, since it's already beyond repair, why don't we retreat?"

Wu Guohu suggested, "If the Jin Kingdom questions us later, we can say that we were scattered by the Qi army and that we went back because we couldn't find them!"

"Wow! Wow!"

Wu Guolong never wanted to be cannon fodder for the Jin Kingdom, so the two brothers hit it off and immediately led the Yan Kingdom soldiers to withdraw from the battlefield...

You must know that the Yan Kingdom sent 30,000 troops, so how could the retreat of 30,000 troops be a small commotion?
When the neighboring Shatuo Kingdom saw that the Yan Kingdom had withdrawn, it simply followed suit.

If we don't withdraw, are we really going to fight to the death with the Qi army for the sake of the Jin state?
As soon as the Shatuo Kingdom withdrew, the neighboring Liusha Kingdom also saw it.

Considering that the law does not punish the masses, the Flowing Sand Kingdom also withdrew.

Thus, the armies of the six states and the three rivers collapsed at the first contact, or even without any actual fighting...
