Fifty miles outside Yangzi City, standing on a high slope, you can already see the appearance of Yangzi City in the distance.
Tuoba Lie put down his clairvoyance and pointed in the direction of Yangzicheng.
"My son, do you know where that place is?"
Tuoba Ningxiu didn't answer immediately. He guessed that his father would not ask such a simple question. That's Yangzi. Do you still need to ask?
After a while, Tuoba Ningxiu replied: "It's a stepping stone."
Tuoba Lie smiled.
"No need to wait for anything."
Tuoba Lie turned around and ordered: "Since my son has prepared everything for the army to attack the city, then go directly to the city and send orders to all the armies to encircle Yangzi and attack from all sides."
As Tuoba Lie's order was issued, this large army began to mobilize.
Tuoba Ning rested in Guzhu for so long and did not really attack the city. He was just preparing for Tuoba Lie's arrival.
They have prepared a lot of various siege equipment.
The armies surrounded Yangzi City, which seemed to be impenetrable.
Not long after, an anxious team began to attack the city. There was not even any pre-war mobilization. They only shouted to grab money, food, and women, and the group of people rushed forward with howls and screams.
The defenders on the city wall were indeed a little nervous at first when they saw the enemies sweeping in like a tide.
After all, the size of the enemy is really ridiculously large.
Lin Ye stood on the city wall and looked at the enemy's center position with his clairvoyance.
There is a large banner over there, which should be where Tuoba Lie is, but it is far away from Yangzi City.
"Tuoba Lie just wants to make a big move."
Lin Ye said: "He knows that the only team under his command that can fight is the Beiye Army. If these ragtag groups cannot defeat Yangzi in the past few days, their morale will be lost."
Feng Xiu asked: "Then there is no need to go out to fight, but we can just defend and make plans after a few days when the enemy's morale drops?"
Lin Ye pointed straight ahead: "Tuoba Lie's army is in the south, otherwise, we will leave the city and rush to the south at this time?"
Feng Xiu was startled.
Do you have to fight back the enemy's first attack?
Rebel Army.
Tuoba Lie raised his clairvoyance and looked at it with a smile on his lips.
"Let Gu Wansheng lead 10,000 elites to press into the left wing, and Liu Kuizhi lead 10,000 people to press into the right wing."
He smiled and said: "When young people become generals, they always feel that what they have to fight for is determination. If what I predict is correct, Lin Ye will personally lead his troops to charge towards our central army to boost morale."
So he used 20,000 people to ambush the ragtag group. When Lin Ye led his troops to charge out, he immediately surrounded them.
At this moment, Tuoba Lie is the general who is as calm as a mountain on the battlefield.
"Instruct the cavalry, if Lin Ye leads the army to attack, cut off their retreat regardless of the cost."
"yes!"
Tuoba Lie's generals responded and turned around to prepare.
Tuoba Ningxiu asked: "Father, will Lin Ye really kill him?"
Tuoba Lie smiled and nodded: "I got to know him quite well when I was in Yunzhou. I know that this person has a tough character and is radical."
"Besides, he knows that although our troops are heavy, they are all civilians. Once they encounter a setback, their morale will collapse."
Tuoba Lie said: "If I were Lin Ye, I would personally lead the army to attack."
Tuoba Ningxiu said with a smile: "How can a young boy like him on the battlefield compare with his father?"
Tuoba Lie said: "Xiu'er, you can't underestimate any opponent, let alone a genius like Lin Ye."
He pointed to the battlefield ahead: "If Lin Ye really knows how to lead an army to attack, he will definitely be prepared and have a response."
Tuoba Ningxiu nodded: "My father taught me a lesson, and I will remember it."
At this time, the lookout shouted loudly from the top of the tall wooden tower: "The south gate of Yangzi City is open, there is a team leaving the city!"
Tuoba Ningxiu was overjoyed: "As expected by father, Lin Ye really came out of the city."
Tuoba Lie raised his head and looked at the high tower, jumped up, and after going up, reached out and took the clairvoyant to take a look.
I saw the south gate of Yangzicheng opened, and a group of cavalry rushed out of the city at an extremely fast speed.
His location was still some distance away from Yangzi City. It could be seen that the cavalry team did not seem to have many people. Behind the cavalry, there were quite a few infantry.
Tuoba Lie frowned slightly, not understanding what Lin Ye's tactic was.
If Lin Ye wanted to fight back, why not use cavalry?
It is impossible for Lin Ye to make such a mistake, so there must be something wrong with it.
"Send the order and tell the teams on both sides not to go up for the time being."
Tuoba Lie shouted.
However, when the messenger came up, it was not that fast.
The people rushing out of the city gate were running and shouting, and they didn't look like they were here to fight for their lives.
The rebels at the forefront of the charge were either Dongbo people or Guzhu people. How could they care about that when they heard the chaotic shouts of the people in the city.
The cavalry in front didn't show any courtesy to him. He was still some distance away when a volley of crossbow arrows swept over him.
The city was suddenly in chaos, but the few cavalrymen quickly withdrew without any hesitation.
The infantrymen who followed behind were unlucky, and were soon swept in by the tide of rebels.
Wails started immediately, and countless people were chopped to the ground in an instant.
The infantrymen did not dare to resist. Some of them threw away their weapons early and knelt down to pray for their lives.
Some people shouted loudly, but the rebels turned their eyes red.
Lin Ye stood on the city wall and watched this scene. Seeing that his cavalry had returned, he nodded immediately.
The city gates are closed and the drawbridge is raised.
Tuoba Lie, who was standing on the high tower, looked even more incredible.
Lin Ye, what kind of strategy is this? A group of people are sent out only to be killed?
This will not suppress the morale of the rebels, but will actually encourage the rebels' violence.
"Send someone to find out what's going on!"
Tuoba Lie shouted loudly.
Someone stepped out on horseback and rushed towards the battlefield ahead.
At this time, the two elite Beiye troops who had been surrounded by De Ling were also confused.
Because there was no need for them to take action at all, just the mob killed the infantry who left the city in pieces.
Moreover, Lin Ye immediately ordered the suspension bridge to be raised, which did not leave any way for people leaving the city to survive.
At this moment, on the wall of Yangzi City, Lin Ye turned back and glanced at the people standing behind him.
"I said that they will definitely massacre the city. You don't believe it. Now that you have seen where to go, I still won't force it."
After saying this, he turned and left.
The well-dressed guys on the city wall all turned pale with fright.
Just before.
The emperor asked Lin Yedao: "There are many people in the city who don't want to fight to defend the city, especially the rich households, and they are even less willing to serve me. If given the chance, they will escape from Yangzi City. What do you think?
How to deal with it?”
Lin Ye said: "I will handle it."
The emperor asked: "What should we do?"
Lin Ye said: "If they want to go out of the city, let them go out of the city."
When the rebels besieged the city, Lin Ye sent people to summon the wealthy households.
Tell them, don't you want to go out? Now that the rebels have arrived, I will give you a chance.
I will not stop anyone who wants to go out. I will send cavalry to send you out. Moreover, I will also assign armor and weapons for you to defend yourself.
He said, after leaving this time, I don't expect you to do anything to help the emperor, as long as you don't collude with the rebels.
As a result, many people left the city with hope.
They just felt that the rebels wanted to kill Emperor Jade, and they did not want to massacre all the people in Yangzi City, so when they went out, it was too late for the rebels to welcome them.
Because under normal circumstances, when these rebels see someone coming out, they should receive preferential treatment.
At this moment, the first batch of people who left the city were all killed, and there were still many people waiting in the city.
Lin Ye walked down the ramp and said as he walked: "Send the second group of people out as well. They probably have some distant relatives and friends among the rebels. Maybe we can get a good result."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone knelt down.
"General, we are not leaving."
"Forgive me, General. We were confused. We shouldn't have thought about leaving the city or escaping for our lives."
"We're not going out."
"We will stay in Yangzi City!"
Especially those guys who were invited by Lin Ye to the city wall and watched the first group of people die, they didn't dare to tell anyone about it anymore.
Lin Ye looked at them and asked: "Are you sincere? His Majesty will not stop you, and you don't have to worry about being punished."
"I'm not leaving, I'm not leaving!"
"We're not leaving either."
At first, some people were confused. After all, the people at the back of the team had not seen what happened outside the city, but the people who saw it were not stupid, and the news spread quickly.
Lin Ye said: "Since you are not leaving, let's all go back home first. Your Majesty said that as long as there is still a person wearing armor, you will not be allowed to fight to the death on the city wall. Dayu's army will protect your safety.
, but if... I need your help, please give me a helping hand."
After saying that, he turned around and went back to the city wall.
Lin Ye's personal commander Pang Hai looked excited. As he walked, he asked: "How does the general know that those rebels will not treat people who leave the city well?"
Lin Ye said: "They were all kidnapped by Tuoba Lie. If Tuoba Lie wants to boost their morale and make them all brave, the only way is to tell them that once the city is breached, everything in the city will be theirs.
They will also tell them that they will be rewarded with as much silver as they want for killing a person, regardless of who they kill."
Pang Dahai suddenly realized: "No wonder."
Not long after, the news reached Yangzi Palace, and the emperor couldn't help but smile after hearing it.
He said that Lin Ye was a right person.
Because Lin Ye is ruthless enough.
As long as Lin Ye has a little bit of the so-called Holy Mother's heart, he can't do this.
"I know. I sent someone to tell the general that I will go to the city to fight with the soldiers in three days."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Concubine Wan Gui and said, "You women probably won't like Lin Ye's character."
Concubine Wan Gui said: "Not necessarily, it depends on what kind of woman she is."
After saying that, he pursed his lips. In the yard, Tuoba Yunxi and Zinai were chatting.
The emperor couldn't help but smile again.
Soon, the news spread throughout Yangzi City, saying that the emperor was kind and promised those who wanted to leave, and opened the city gate to let them go.
As a result, everyone was massacred by the rebels, and died extremely miserably, and some were chopped into pieces.
At this time, no one in the city thought that the rebels would not kill them, but only wanted to kill Emperor Jade.
Lin Ye took advantage of the situation and sent people to publicize that the rebels were going to massacre the city and asked the people to be prepared. If Dayu's army suffered heavy casualties, the people would need to come to the city to support them.
On the city wall.
Lin Ye looked at the dark army outside, and his eyes drifted to the distance, to the location of the rebel army's center.
He couldn't see Tuoba Lie, but he knew that Tuoba Lie must also be looking at him at this time.
