The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 611
Just when Lin Yifan was about to wait for the army to pacify the grassland, a military message came from Wanren Pass.The Donghu defenders at Wanren Pass surrendered directly to Cao Jun.Cao Jun took advantage of this opportunity to occupy the dangerous pass in one fell swoop, and the army's efforts for several days were paid for.

Lin Yifan's face suddenly turned ugly. After he was going to take Wanren Pass, he happened to be able to attack Yanzhou with Mingzhou on both sides, so Cao Jun had to divide his troops into two groups to weaken his strength.But now it's good, Wanren Pass has been robbed. If he doesn't take it back, not only will he not be able to provide the geographical advantage for recovering Yanzhou in the future, but on the contrary, he will have to defend Cao's army north of Wanren Pass.

Lin Yifan also knew about the surrender of the guards at Wanren Pass to Cao Jun, and it must have been a ruse by Huerle.The purpose is to lure Cao Jun to go north, so that he can focus on fighting for Wanren Pass and reduce his pressure.Originally, he had indeed made a plan, as long as the grassland was calmed down, he could gather his troops, enter the Bailu Ridge, enter the old forest in the northeast, and completely wipe out the remnants of his Eastern Hu.

Now that the situation has changed, Lin Yifan has to make some adjustments to the plan.He immediately summoned Yang Mingyuan and asked him to leave and return to Mingzhou immediately, and lead the soldiers and horses in Mingzhou to put pressure on Cao Jun in Yanzhou and hold back their reinforcements going north.

A few days after Yang Mingyuan left, bad news suddenly came from the north. The Kunxie City in Beijing, which had just been retaken a few days ago, was attacked by an army of unknown origin. Only about [-] Hengshan troops were killed in battle, and Kunxie City fell.

Lin Yifan's expression finally changed. He never imagined that there was a huge army hiding in the north. Could it be Huerle's army?

With a livid face, he summoned Umu Manda and asked him about the situation of the army in the north.No, after thinking for a moment, Wumu Manda couldn't help but change his face, "My lord, that army is very likely to be the northern barbarians who were repelled by our golden werewolves back then."

"Northern barbarians?" Lin Yifan frowned. He also knew that there were barbarians in the north of Beimo, but he couldn't imagine why they would appear here at this time. "Aren't they beaten to death by you golden werewolves? Also, why did they go south at this time?"

Wumu Manda smiled bitterly and said: "My lord, defeating the northern barbarians was already a matter of decades ago. After so many years of recuperation, the strength should have recovered. As for why they appeared at this time, I don't know. Knowing that the south is at war, do you want to go south to fish in troubled waters?"

Lin Yifan shook his head slightly, "No, this is very likely to be a plot by Huerle, the king of Donghu. He handed over Wanren Pass to the Cao family in order to delay the pace of our army's eastward march. Maybe this time the northern barbarians It was also his plan to go south, with the same purpose, to allow other forces to enter and contain us."

Umu Manda couldn't help being shocked, "My lord, if this is the case, how should we deal with it?"

"Hmph, what are you thinking about? Naturally, the soldiers came to cover up the water and the earth." Lin Yifan snorted coldly, "What do I have to fear about mere northern barbarians? Since they dare to offend me in Hengshan, don't blame me for teaching them a lesson." They had a meal."

Soon, Lin Yifan ordered people to gather the cavalry from all over the country and rushed back to Sirius City with all their strength.He also ordered Lu Zhan to lead the [-] infantry in the city to prepare for defense and wait for the cavalry to join.

In the next few days, Lin Yifan received news from the north one after another. After the northern barbarians broke through Kunxie City, they only rested for half a day, and then went south in a large scale, burning and killing countless tribes along the way, and captured a lot of money.For the northern barbarians who were extremely scarce in supplies, this was simply a gluttonous feast.After the tribe was mopped up, except for the young woman, everyone else was killed.Almost everything in the tribe was looted, and after the army passed by, there was nothing left except broken wood and beams and naked corpses.It's like locusts crossing the border, not a single blade of grass grows.

When the news came that the northern barbarians were going south, the tribes in the northern grasslands finally panicked. They packed up their tents and moved southward.All of a sudden, on the vast grassland north of Sirius City, countless tribes led their people and rushed towards the direction of Sirius City.However, within a few days, Sirius City ushered in refugees from various nearby tribes with their families.

The important task of gathering the tribal refugees was handed over to Umu Manda, who, together with the nobles in the city, settled down these tribes who went south to seek refuge.Lin Yifan was listening to news from the north every day in order to be fully prepared.

After many times of inquiring, Lin Yifan finally knew that there were about [-] to [-] troops from the northern barbarians going south this time.According to the information contributed by the Golden Wolf nobles who knew the Northern Man quite well, the Northern Man had a population of less than one million and lived scattered in the vast and bitterly cold Mobei. Now they were able to gather tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and they had mobilized more than half of their strength.However, what surprised him was that there were countless northern barbarian tribes. Although they were unified for a short period of time decades ago, and after the unification was completed, they went south beyond their control and fought against the golden werewolves who were in full swing, and finally returned with a disastrous defeat.The original unified situation quickly disintegrated after the defeat.And now, they are able to go south again, is it because they have completed the merger again and reunified?
The lack of information made Lin Yifan know little about the situation of the northern barbarians. Although there were not many tens of thousands of horses, he also learned from the mouth of the old noble of the Golden Wolf that even the powerful Golden Wolf Khanate back then was a waste of time. It took nine oxen and two tigers to drive the northern barbarians out.It can be seen from this that the combat power of the northern barbarians is no lower than that of the Donghu people.

Time passed day by day, and the northern barbarians went all the way south, and they were less than two hundred miles away from Sirius City. If they came by long drive, it would only take about two or three days.However, these northern barbarians were too careless. They only cared about plundering the tribes along the way, and never thought about going south directly to attack Sirius City.

Also taking advantage of this precious time, Lin Yifan has recalled [-] cavalry, and the rest are still on their way.With these tens of thousands of cavalry, he has a lot of confidence.

Two days later, the sound of muffled thunder came from the north of Sirius City, and then a long black line appeared on the horizon.Not long after, tens of thousands of northern barbarian soldiers overwhelmed Sirius City and formed a formation under the city.

At this time, Sirius City is also ready for battle, the trenches and walls under the city are blocked by layers, and all kinds of defensive equipment at the top of the city are ready.The only thing that worried Lin Yifan was that there was not a single cannon or catapult in the city at this time.All those sharp weapons were handed over to Qin Yuanhao, and they were taken to attack Wanren Pass.Now, all they can rely on is the high walls and deep walls of this city, and the few grenades they have at hand.

After the northern barbarian army stopped, they were not in a hurry to attack the city.Instead, they set up tents and just besieged but not attacked.

Lin Yifan looked at the noisy northern barracks, and frowned slightly, "What are they planning to do?"
