Become a feudal king from today

"Well, that's very good." Zhao Xu looked at Chang Wei, and Chang Wei nodded.

Since they want to act, they naturally have to act more realistically.

The royal army is really going to Songyang Pass.

If the Tiemu Pagoda is dealt with, they will directly attack Songyang Pass.

The matter was settled.

Ma Han went back and led the Qin soldiers to dig tunnels to hide soldiers in hidden places in the courtyards of Miancheng's houses.

Chang Wei dispatched another 10,000 people to him, and asked him to gather 60,000 people.

These 60,000 soldiers were distributed throughout Cotton City in accordance with the order.

Especially in the houses on both sides of important roads, the largest number of soldiers are hidden.

After five consecutive days of digging, the tunnel to hide soldiers was basically completed.

These tunnels are different from tunnels because they are only used to hide soldiers, so they do not extend in all directions like the tunnels in the village.

It is enough to hide some people, so the amount of work is not large.

When they were digging the tunnel, the detective in charge of the investigation found that Temutabu was following them, hanging far behind them.

Once they leave Miancheng, the Temuta tribe will definitely be stationed between Miancheng and them to cut off the food road.

"Hmph, I'll let you all follow me this time." After hearing the news, Zhao Xu sneered several times.

The next day, he and Chang Wei led their troops out of the city and headed straight for Songyang Pass.

As when they came, they still marched with chariots on both sides and soldiers in the middle.

Thus, they could not accurately deduce the number of soldiers because the chariots obscured them.

In order to confuse the Beidi scouts, he specially ordered the chariots to widen the distance between them, and also widened the distance between the soldiers.

The soldiers were also ordered to deliberately raise dust when walking, so that the entire team was shrouded in smoke and dust, making it harder to distinguish.

at the same time.

As soon as the royal army left the city, Beidi scouts sent the news to Tiemuta.

"They are going to attack Songyang Pass." After receiving the news from the scouts, Tiemu Ta's heart tightened.

He naturally knew the importance of Songyang Pass.

This is their only way back to the grassland.

Therefore, after the news of the fall of Cotton City reached his ears, he scolded Ashur and Orsky a hundred times in his heart.

"Your Majesty, what should we do now?" asked a wolf.

Tiemuta frowned and pondered for a while, and then said: "It is better to cut off King Yan's food route. The food loaded in their chariots is limited. It is not easy to capture Songyangguan City with its high walls and thick walls. They still have to use up their supply." Food and grass, starve them to death.”

Then, he thought of something and asked the scout, "You said the gate of Cotton City is open?"

"Yes, the city gates on all sides are open." the scout replied.

Tiemu Ta's brows furrowed further and he asked, "What kind of medicine is being sold in this gourd by King Yan?"

According to the scouts, this Cotton City seems to be an empty city.

However, he was also frightened by King Yan's machinations.

So he said: "Take a team of people to explore the city to prevent fraud."

In response, the scout ordered a group of 200 cavalry to go towards Cotton City.

When they arrived outside Mian City, they looked at each other and divided into four groups to reach the four city gates.

After reining in their horses and standing for a while, seeing no movement, they boldly entered the city.

But apart from the sound of their horses' hooves, the city was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

Then, they checked the shops on both sides of the road and broke into unoccupied houses to search.

They found nothing.

While they were searching, the Qin soldiers were observing them from hidden corners.

At this moment, the Qin soldiers were extremely nervous.

This ruse was an adventure, and if discovered, the ruse would fail.

The royal family's troops could only turn back and think of other ways.

If the Beidi people were convinced that Miancheng was an empty city, they would have succeeded.

Therefore, they were very careful when digging the cave to hide soldiers.

A hole was dug out of the wall on the side of the well, and the mouth of the hole was sealed, leaving only a small hole for ventilation.

Observed from above, nothing seems out of the ordinary.

There are also holes dug under big trees in houses and under the counters of street shops to hide.

They even pulled out the blue bricks from the inner city wall, dug out the mud inside, turned it into a cave for hiding soldiers, and then built it with bricks from the outside.

The soldiers inside only carried fried noodles to fill their bellies.

After digging these troop hiding holes, they also conducted exercises.

Soldiers from the Royal Palace personally came to look for them.

Those who were discovered were reorganized until a new group of soldiers arrived and no one could be found.

Just like this, the Beidi scouts searched around the city, found nothing, and left one after another.

"It's really an empty city." The news brought back by the scouts made Temuta feel strange.

Then he thought: In the battle of Miancheng, King Yan won a great victory. He must be full of confidence. He felt that he could win quickly and obtain supplies again without the food and grass from Miancheng.

Furthermore, King Yan also knew that even leaving people in Mian City would not help. Just like the city in the north, even if there was food and grass in the city, it could not be transported out, so it would be better not to leave troops.

After figuring this out, he ordered his soldiers to go to Cotton City.

If King Yan fails in his attack on Songyang, he will inevitably retreat back to Mian City.

He has taken possession of it now, and King Yan will not be able to come back by then.
