Chapter 46 Attack on the City

It is said that since Deyongzhaji inherited the throne of the Tufan Empire, this ambitious king has always wanted to invade the Middle Earth, but because of the majesty of his father and because his own sister married King Yuwen, he has not been able to do so.

Dare to act without permission.

Since Yuwen's rebellion, Deyongzhaji saw another opportunity. He tried his best to support King Yuwen in confronting the imperial court, and secretly helped him with troops, horses and supplies. However, he saw that King Yuwen had been dealing with the imperial court in the northern territory, and they were at a stalemate. He didn't know why.

Is it because the power gap between King Yuwen and the imperial court is too big, or is it because King Yuwen can't trust him and is afraid of being attacked from both sides?

He sent envoys again and again, and even sent a message to King Yuwen through his sister Deji Yangzong that the Tufan Kingdom was willing to form an alliance with King Yuwen to jointly attack the Central Plains, overthrow the Dafeng Dynasty, and avenge the bloodshed of the Yuwen family. In order to create a fait accompli

In fact, he even directly sent troops several times to help King Yuwen attack the imperial troops. This move made King Yuwen very angry. He repeatedly rebuked Deyong Khan and asked him not to send troops to participate in the internal struggles of Dafeng Kingdom. Not only could he not help him by doing so,

, but made it even more difficult for him to wash away the traitor charge imposed on him, so De Yong had no choice but to give up in anger.

But since then, Deyong has planned to attack the plains alone. His empire can no longer expand to the north. North of the Mosi River is a vast arctic desert area with sparsely populated areas. His army has completely

It conquered other surrounding ethnic minority tribes and formed a multi-ethnic country with a vast territory, dominated by the Tufan people. The national integrity of the Tufan people has been unprecedentedly high, and the prosperous empire has begun to take shape. A few years ago, the late king Gong Duojia

At this time, the Dafeng Empire in the Central Plains was in chaos due to the struggle for the throne. War broke out and the people were in dire straits. Deyong felt that the opportunity had come and it was a good time to replace it.

Seeing that the time was getting ripe, Deyong secretly planned to attack Gulu Pass ten days before the rainy season in the grasslands. Not wanting something unexpected to happen, just five days before he was about to capture Gulu Pass, the imperial court suddenly sent troops to capture Gulu Pass.

, so that King Yuwen was defeated and fled south. Two to three hundred thousand troops from the imperial court poured into Gulu Pass overnight, which greatly interfered with Deyong's offensive plan.

Deyong was anxious about this matter. Unexpectedly, Gulu Pass suddenly sent 150,000 troops to march westward, hoping to take advantage of the situation to kill King Yuwen and King Zhenxi. There were only 60,000 to 70,000 troops in the pass. Therefore, Deyong decided to stick to the original plan.

Plan to capture Gulu Pass.

Early that morning, a long motorcade arrived at the north gate of Gulu Pass. There were more than a hundred large carriages loaded with earth, stone and wood. Led by a dozen Tufan merchants, they headed towards

Come to the city gate.

An assistant leader who was in charge of guarding the North Gate that day was supervising the soldiers to check the people entering the pass. Since the capture of Gulu Pass, these imperial officers and soldiers guarding the city discovered that there were frequent trade exchanges between the city and the ethnic groups in the northern region, and the traders on both sides were all

He often went in and out of the house, so he tried to exploit him, and it turned out that there was plenty of money.

The assistant leader, Ma Lai, came to the two Tufan mother and daughter who were being interrogated. Seeing that the Tufan girl was fifteen or sixteen years old, with a delicate figure and beautiful appearance, he reached out to the girl's breasts with ill intentions.

He grabbed a handful on his butt and said with a lewd smile: "It's so curved here, is there something hidden? Ha, ha, ha." The scared girl screamed and ran away.

The co-leader was still trying to get into trouble when he suddenly saw this long motorcade approaching in the distance. He was secretly happy, thinking that he might be able to make a little fortune today.

The assistant leader immediately led people forward and stopped the leading merchants, saying: "Whatever you transport must be subject to customs inspection."

The leader of the Tufan businessman came out, a big man, stepped forward and bowed his head and said: "All the goods are earth, stone, wood and other building materials. Please check it out."

The big cars were lined up one by one, and after checking one car, they were let in. After two or three cars had entered, the assistant leader came over and said to the big businessman: "Five grains of money per car, I think your fleet will cost a lot of money."

Baiwen Qian, I don’t know if I have enough preparations. If not, I’ll bring the remaining cars tomorrow.”

The big man was taken aback and asked, "Why are you so expensive? My car is loaded with civil engineering materials that were brought to rebuild the palace at the request of your dynasty."

The assistant leader said disapprovingly: "Are you giving these things to us?"

"Of course not, fees will be charged as appropriate."

"That's serious. Since you want to make money, you have to pay taxes. What we collect is the taxes and fees for customs inspection. We must not disobey."

The big man had no choice but to say nothing. After all the vehicles had been inspected and entered the city, the dozen or so merchants leading the team parked the last two carriages at the gate, waiting for the big man to settle the accounts with his associates.

After the big man took out some grain silver from his arms and handed it over to the assistant leader, he had the last two carts of wood etc. unloaded from the carts and stacked them beside the two city gates. He said to the assistant leader: "Sir,

If you sell these two carts of materials to other merchants, it will cost at least more than a hundred dollars, so I’ll leave it up to you guys."

The co-leader smiled and nodded, waving for them to leave. Those people hurriedly entered the city and walked towards the palace.

It is said that after the Ba people escorted hundreds of carriages to the construction site of the palace, they immediately incited the Tufan workers who were working on the site and said, "The court official started exploiting my Tufan people as soon as he arrived here, and even burned the Tufan people to death in the palace."

Princess Deji Yangzong of Fan Kingdom has a mortal hatred. Let’s fight with them!

After that, they took out a lot of long and short weapons from the cart and distributed them to everyone. The four to five hundred people killed all the twenty or thirty officers and soldiers on the scene, shouting: "Kill the imperial officers and soldiers, and drive away the Chinese Han people in China!"

The sound of killing shook the sky.

After General Fang Dingchao learned of the situation, he quickly sent 5,000 officers and soldiers to suppress it. Unexpectedly, the Tuban workers on the scene relied on the repaired palace base as a bunker, used wood and earth and rocks as hammers, and defeated the officers and soldiers who besieged the scene.

The key point is that the Tufan people fighting on the scene are not like ordinary migrant workers at all. They all look like brave and capable soldiers. The imperial officers and soldiers are no match at all.

Fang Dingchao was shocked when he heard the report, and hurriedly transferred 10,000 horses from the east and west cities to support him. As a result, before the men and horses here arrived, the city gate on the other side was already in a hurry.

When the co-leader of the North City Gate was planning to sell the wood to the merchant, he suddenly looked up and saw, in the distance amidst the flying dust, a black mass of fast riders rushing over, heading straight for the city gate. When he reacted, he ordered

The soldiers immediately closed the city gate and prepared to face the enemy and prepare for battle.

Unexpectedly, he turned around and saw that he was dumbfounded. The soldiers were hurriedly carrying the two piles of wood blocked at the foot of the city gate. The wood was so big and heavy that even a few soldiers could not move one. How could they move it here?

, seeing that the enemy cavalry had already rushed forward, the leader was unprepared, so he happily mounted his horse and fled towards the city.

In the blink of an eye, Tufan's 100,000 horsemen had already rushed into Gulu Pass. Under the leadership of 20,000 cavalry, a flurry of fast horses and swords killed the imperial officers and soldiers, and they were defeated. General Fang led his troops to fight hastily.

, they hurriedly led the remaining troops to escape from the south gate. There were originally more than 60,000 officers and soldiers in the city, but only less than 50,000 escaped, running all the way south.
