Youzhou, Youbeiping County, Songzhou

After Songzhou City was broken, the second prince Tuoba Jin looked at the corpses all over the city and the civilians fleeing in panic, and said proudly, "You Beiping County can't do that."

He Ximing on the side smiled and said, "Our Xianbei army is too strong."

"My sons, the next three days are your carnival time! Start massacring the city!"

Tuoba Jin ordered the massacre of the city to punish them for their previous stubborn resistance!

It was because of their resistance that Tuo Bayu, the fourth child who attacked Yanmen, captured the city faster than he did.

"Long live the Khan! A thousand live the second prince!"

The Xianbei soldiers began to howl like ghosts and wolves. After howling, they began to pounce on the unarmed people in the city like wolves.

He Ximing did not stop them because the massacre of the city would bring more benefits than harm to them.

The war between them and Dali has just begun. Although Songzhou was captured by them, these people are also enemies. They must be killed to prevent them from becoming an obstacle in the future!

Moreover, massacre can plunder supplies and quickly replenish the consumption of their siege.

In addition, you can also threaten other cities to make them give up resistance.Look, we said that the people in the city will not be killed if they surrender, but if you don't listen, the massacre of the city will be your fate now.

Finally, the soldiers need to vent.

"Second Prince, there is news!"

Tuoba Jin looked at it and was happy. It turned out to be news about Pingzhou's transportation of tax grains.

After reading it, he handed the letter to He Ximing.

He Ximing opened the letter and read it. The letter stated that the team transporting tax grains from Pingzhou had just passed through Xunzhong.

"Lao Qi can't do it. This battle achievement needs to come from my second brother!" Tuoba Jin said proudly.

"Second Prince, let's divide our troops." He calculated that if they quickly went south now, they might intercept the grain transport team in Linyu County or Yangle County.

And after this massacre, when they go south and pass through other counties in Youbeiping County, those people will not dare to stop them.

As a result, Tuoba Jin and He Ximing divided their forces.

Tuoba Jin took half of his troops south and left the remaining half to clean the battlefield and provide support from the rear.Originally He Ximing should have stayed, but he was worried about Tuoba Jin and went south with him, leaving the troops in charge of another general.

The news of the massacre in Songzhou County spread, and everyone felt cold-blooded.

Because Songzhou County is the border between Youbeiping County and Xianbei Grassland, it has a small population.

For example, Houcheng is now a county of [-] households, while Songzhou only has a population of [-] households. Including the garrison, the number of people is about [-] or [-].

Today, most of these people either died in this battle or were massacred.

Xianbei is so cruel!

"These beasts!" Lu Desheng yelled, "What is Deng Fangyi doing? As the governor of Youzhou, how can he turn a blind eye to the crisis in Songzhou County?"

Lu Songli also had a cold face at this moment, "Father, Deng Fangyi should not be entirely blamed. Although he neglected his duty, the bigger mistake was the inaction of the court. From the time when Xianbei detained the customs, Deng Fangyi must have been the same as us. The imperial court issued a request for rescue, but so far no support from the imperial court has arrived.”

This time, Lu Desheng didn't even want to scold.

"Go and ask the front line what supplies they need, and we will provide support!" In short, we must hold on!

Lu Desheng has realized that the imperial court is unreliable. Now that Beiping County is defeated, Pingzhou will soon face an attack by the Xianbei three armies.They Pingzhou are like a flat boat on the water, with nowhere to rely on.

Damn, Xianbei has a total of four armies, and three of them are going to Pingzhou to greet them. They really think highly of their big Pingzhou.

Youzhou Governor's Mansion

At this time, the governor Deng Fangyi and his subordinate officials were silent. They had already learned about the massacre of Songzhou.

Now You Beiping County has not lost it, but it is no different from losing it.

Without the support of additional troops, it would be difficult for the remaining forces in Youbeiping County to organize an effective resistance when facing the Xianbei army.It was only a matter of time before the Xianbei army penetrated Youbeiping County.

But there was nothing he could do. He didn't have enough troops. He had to arrange his troops in Yuyang County and Dai County.Yanmen was broken, Tuoba Khan was in charge of Yanmen, and Xianbei's headquarters was also in Yanmen. Deng Fangyi could always feel Tuoba Khan's eager eyes.At the same time, Daijun must arrange heavy troops, which is also the emperor's instructions.

All he can do now is persist. He believes that the imperial court will not ignore Youzhou!

Duan Qi comforted, "Master Deng, you don't need to blame yourself too much. Currently, the Xianbei five-pronged army has invaded Dali. Not only did we in Youzhou lose Beiping County, but also the northern border and Bingzhou lost important cities. Now, only Pingzhou The two counties in western Liaoning and eastern Liaoning are still holding on, and I don’t know how long they can hold on.”

Duan Qi was good at comforting people. After Deng Fangyi heard this, he felt a little better. Everyone was the same. It was not that he was weak, but that the enemy was too strong.

But, "I didn't expect Lu Desheng to be quite powerful?"

Pingzhou: Acceptance depends entirely on the support of peers.

Duan Qi was not optimistic, "Let's see, Pingzhou is about to face a joint attack by the three Xianbei armies, and it is estimated that it will not be able to hold on to multiple masters."

"Now I hope that the imperial court can quickly dispatch a large army. Otherwise, once Pingzhou is defeated and the three Xianbei armies gather together, they will definitely attack our Yuyang County. By then, our three counties in Youzhou will be flanked by the four Xianbei armies, and we will be in danger. ." Deng Fangyi now hopes that Pingzhou can persist longer.

At this time, the Dongcheng Gate General reported, "Master Governor, there are many people from Youbeiping County who have fled from Dongcheng Gate gathered outside the Dongcheng Gate. They have been begging us to open the city gate and let them in. Sir, what should we do?"

After Songzhou was massacred, countless people in Beiping County fled in panic because of fear.

Beiping County borders the Xianbei Grassland to the north on the right, Yuyang County on the left, and Liaoxi County on the right and south.

Therefore, most of these frightened people in Youbeiping County fled to Yuyang County to seek protection because they belonged to Youzhou; a small number of people went to Liaoxi County.

Deng Fangyi frowned when he heard the situation reported by his subordinates.

Duan Qian said, "You can't let them in. There might be spies here. It's already very difficult for us in Youzhou to protect the other three counties. Adding these uncertain factors will only make it even harder." There are some things that adults can't say. their subordinates said.

"Then -" The truth is this, but if they never open the city gate, firstly, it will have a bad impact, and secondly, it will chill the hearts of the people.

Duan Qi: "In this case, you have people persuade them to change their route and go to Liaoxi County!"

The gatekeeper of Dongcheng looked at Deng Fangyi, and Deng Fangyi said, "Just as the Registrar said, it's dangerous outside, so let the people set off as soon as possible to seek refuge in Liaoxi County."

"Yes!" The Dongcheng gate general took the order and left.
