The siege on the plain lasted for nearly an hour.

The Xianbei soldiers had been completely killed at this time. Murong Jing, of course, could not escape Xu Chu's assassin and was directly cut off his horse with a single blow.

More than 30,000 Xianbei soldiers had already died due to the fire and the encirclement and suppression.

Xu Chu ordered all soldiers to disperse and search for the remaining Xianbei troops all over the mountains and plains.

After all, in addition to the scattered Xianbei troops, there were also a large number of war horses in the mountains and plains. These were all Xianbei people's war horses, and their appearance was very good. Although they were not as good as the Han army's sweat-blooded horses, they were very good for being used as pack horses or for being sold to caravans.

The search lasted until dawn, and it was barely over.

Finally, according to statistics, nearly 10,000 of the 30,000 Xianbei soldiers were killed, and most of the remaining 20,000 were burned to death, and the rest almost all fled.

A total of more than 8,000 war horses were captured, but almost all of them were injured and needed to rest for a while.

Only a few hundred soldiers from Bingzhou died in this battle. The vast majority of the dead soldiers died in the encirclement and suppression on the plains. After all, the Xianbei people were really good at riding and shooting.

But overall, this battle was definitely a great victory.

With a light rain, the fire in the Xianbei camp was also controlled and finally extinguished.

After Xu Chu made sure that the fire had been completely extinguished, he led the soldiers back.

After all, hunters and woodcutters near Yanmen often come to this hill. If it is really burned bald, I am afraid that these people will have a hard time.

...

In the camp of the Xianbei Central Road.

He Lian was sitting in the main seat, constantly cutting the mutton on the plate.

"It's bad for Chanyu! It's bad! Chief Murong Jing was killed by the Han army on the march! Almost all 30,000 vanguards were wiped out!"

"What!? 30,000 vanguards are gone? Where is Murong Jing!?"

The scout below said with a trembling voice: "Report to Chanyu, Chief Murong Jing was killed by Xu Chu..."

"There is no chief in the Central Tribe!?"

Although He Lian was shocked, he was ecstatic in his heart.

Now that Murong Jing is dead, he can naturally take over the Central Tribe.

He Lian pretended to be angry and overturned the wine table.

"Liu Yao!!! Lian and I will never reconcile with you! Ah!!! Brother Murong Jing!!!"

He Lian kept beating his chest, showing a very angry look.

"Chanyu! Don't do this! Don't do this!!"

He Lian stood in the big tent and roared:

"Send troops immediately! Yanmen! I want to chop off Liu Yao's head!"

"Yes!!"

...

A few days later.

Outside Yanmen Pass, more than 100,000 troops lined up in a row, and there was no end in sight.

He Lian was in the middle army, looking at the magnificent Yanmen Pass. All the soldiers in the pass were busy like ants, constantly strengthening the fortifications, carrying arrows, stones, fallen trees... It was obvious that they were ready for the next war.

A large flag with the word "Xu" and a large flag with the word "Xu" were planted on the pass.

"What a natural barrier! It is really blessed by nature, and with Liu Yao's consolidation, no wonder Wuhuan was defeated by this city before!"

The people of the grassland are indeed not suitable for siege.

Moreover, Liu Yao also built a military camp outside the city, which made them dare not attack Yanmen Pass with all their strength. Once they attacked Yanmen Pass, they would be attacked from both sides. If they attacked the military camp, Yanmen Pass would send troops to attack them from behind.

He Lian calculated the troops at hand and couldn't help but worry. He had lost 30,000 troops before, which made him a little stretched.

He was also very clear about Liu Yao's ability. He could defeat the Xiongnu with fewer troops on the plains, which was enough to show his ability.

If the troops were too few, they would probably be eaten up by him. If too many troops were sent, attacking Yanmen Pass would probably be a disadvantage.

"Why haven't the western tribes sent any news yet? It's been a few days? They should have dealt with the Southern Xiongnu!"

"Once the western army arrives, we can attack them from both sides at the same time."

As he was talking, a scout rushed in.

"Report!!! Report to Chanyu! Something terrible has happened! The western tribes were cut off by the Han army's water attack, and almost all of them were annihilated!"

"The whole army was annihilated!? More than 100,000 troops? The whole army was annihilated!? What are they doing for a living! Even if there are 100,000 pigs waiting in line for slaughter, it will take three days, right?"

At this time, a general came out and said first: "Chanyu, as the saying goes, money can move people. Money can move people the most. Back then, when Liu Bang, the first emperor of the Han Dynasty, wanted to enter Guanzhong, he usedHe bribed the Qin army garrison with a large sum of money, and then he broke into Guanzhong and overthrew the Qin Dynasty! "

"I think we can do this too. If I am strong and he is weak! Liu Hong is incompetent and still selling official positions. A man who knows the times is a hero! As long as you can make him a king, he might open the city and go out of the pass. "

He Lian shook his head.

"I'm afraid this plan is not appropriate! Since ancient times, how many Han people have you seen surrender to Xianbei? In their eyes, we are their enemies. Who would choose to surrender to their enemies? "

"And Liu Yao is really a hero. It's harder to make him surrender than to let him die. "

The general continued: "Then let's attack! ? Our army has more than 100,000 troops. The whole army is lined up to inspire morale. The whole army will take Yanmen Pass directly. Isn't it the way that Xiang Yu, the King of Western Chu, broke through the pass?"

"Humph! Xiang Yu has 400,000 troops! What do we have! ? Huh? ”

“At the beginning, I had planned to concentrate all our firepower to take Yanmen Pass first, but in the end, no one from the three tribes agreed, and they only cared about the little benefits in front of them. If we force the attack now, even if we are lucky enough to take Yanmen Pass, there will not be many people left!”

He Lian paced back and forth in the tent.

“No! Now the Xianbei can’t continue to divide their troops. Send out scouts immediately to tell them about the western tribes and let the people from the eastern tribes rush back! Only when they join forces with us can we cope with the next offensive.”

In the military camp outside Yanmen Pass.

Liu Yao looked at the intelligence that Luo Wang had just intercepted.

He showed a playful smile.

“They now know that the west has failed, and now they want to summon the people from the eastern tribe to attack the city.”

“Go! Send a message to Zhang Liao and Yu Fuluo, and let them ambush in two directions on the way to the eastern tribes to gather, and make sure to hit the western tribe hard!”

“Also order Huang Zhong, after the Xianbei get rid of the entanglement, immediately rush to Yanmen Pass! ”

In this way, even the last reinforcements will be dismembered by themselves. At that time, when Zhang Liao and Huang Zhong return to Yanmen Pass, they will surround the Xianbei layer by layer.
