Chapter 681 The Last Hand Outstretched

Tuoba Zhong quietly lurked outside the Salvation Army camp, faintly smelling the smell of alcohol coming from inside.Confirming again that the sentry on the sentry tower was asleep, Tuoba Zhong made a decisive gesture.

"Swish" several arrows sounded, shooting into the barracks with countless scorching flames, and before the soldiers of the Salvation Army woke up from their sleep, Tuoba Zhong had already fired two rounds of rockets.

Seeing the fire snake quickly spread between the tents, Tuoba Zhong pulled out his saber suddenly, and shouted "Attack—!" He rushed into the Salvation Army camp first, mercilessly cutting anyone he saw!
The soldiers following him followed Tuoba Zhong to slash and kill, and at the same time kept smashing earthen jars filled with tung oil to speed up the spread of the fire.

Many Salvation Army soldiers died under the knife of this team just after escaping from the burning tent.

Taking advantage of the fire, Tuoba Zhong rushed into the center of the camp very quickly.

"Whoever captures the celestial girl alive will be rewarded!"

Tuoba Zhong gave an order, and the soldiers with torches in their hands went to light the nearby military tents without hesitation.But the strange thing is that the military tent couldn't be ignited no matter what.

Even if the soldiers put the torch directly on the tent, the tent would only emit a puff of smoke, at most a hole would be burned, and it would not be able to ignite at all!

Seeing this, Tuoba Zhong immediately asked: "What's going on?!"

The soldiers beside him stretched out their hands and said in a panic, "Young master! This tent is wet! It's soaking wet!"

Tuoba Zhong realized something was wrong, and just turned his horse's head to look behind him, and found that the fire in the outer circle of the barracks had gradually diminished.

In the light of the fire, a group of armored soldiers could be vaguely seen methodically carrying water from large jars to put out the fire. The burning tung oil on the ground was also covered with thick sand, leaving only a puff of foul-smelling black smoke floating in the air.

Cui Yong led the heavy cavalry regiment and slowly came out of the darkness. A huge encirclement circle had been formed as early as when Tuoba Zhong charged left and right.

Cui Yong grinned and said, "I would also like to thank Little General Tuoba for sending the wine jar, otherwise we really don't know where to find so many big jars to store water."

Tuoba Zhong's eyes were reddened by the flames, he gritted his teeth and said, "You all knew that I would come to attack at night?"

Choi Yong shrugs rascally, meaning "isn't that obvious?"

Cui Yong quickly glanced at the soldiers around Tuoba Zhong, they were obviously elite soldiers who had experienced many battles.

It's a pity that they died like this, Cui Yong couldn't help persuading him: "The outcome has been decided, General Tuoba should surrender, why seek death?"

Tuoba Zhong snorted coldly, "It's up to you?! Don't think that you are invincible in the world when you wear heavy armor! We have lived and died in the north several times, even Tuoba Tao's master Wang is strong!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a slap on the face, Tuoba Zhong's head suddenly tilted to one side, and when he touched it again, his face was swollen.

Tuoba Zhong's followers looked around in fear, they obviously didn't see anything, why did the young master get slapped across the face? !
"This is for your father."

"Slap!" Another slap.

"It was played for me."

Tuoba Zhong immediately realized that he had seen only one person in this world who could hurt people from a distance.

"Master! Where are you?!"

"Shut up!" Tan Yaoyu came out from behind Cui Yong, closely followed by several walkers who were protecting her.The slap just now was also the hand of the walkers to invite the rain, trying to scare Tuoba Zhong.

Tan Yaoyu looked at the very unfamiliar Tuoba Zhong in front of him, with mixed feelings in his heart, "If you still recognize me as a master, you should dismount and surrender immediately. You should know that whether it kills you or captures Beiliang, it is right It’s easy for me.”

Tuoba Zhong tightened his grip on the reins, "Of course I know! That's why I traveled thousands of miles to Jiankang just to fight side by side with you! Why do you reject me thousands of miles away?! We should be fighting against each other !"

Tan Yaoyu shook his head, "It seems that you still don't understand. Nujiying, open the city gate."

Following Tan Yaoyu's order, there was a whirling and tense string sound in the dark night. Although Tuoba Zhong couldn't see anything, he instinctively felt a kind of fear.

"Buzz-buzz-hum-" After the dull sound of breaking through the air, the city gate, which was able to withstand the impact of the gatepost, was knocked off the shaft abruptly after five huge crossbow bolts shot continuously, and fell down with a bang. land.

Tuoba Zhong looked at the open gate under the city wall in disbelief, and before he could react, a team of Salvation Army had already walked towards the open city gate holding torches.

"What...weapon?"

Tan Yaoyu replied coldly: "Perhaps your elite teacher can fight against Tuoba Tao's Wangshi, but the Northern Wei Dynasty is no longer my opponent. I will give you one last chance, whether you surrender or not!" drop?"

Tuoba Zhong lowered his head, looked at the long knife in his hand, and murmured: "Surrender? How to surrender? So what if you surrender?"

Tan Yaoyu turned around irritably when he heard the words, and turned his back to Tuoba Zhong, unwilling to see him, "At least you can live."

"Alive?" Tuoba Zhong raised his head and looked at the back, "How to live? So what? I can live, but can those who follow me still live?"

Tan Yaoyu's throat tightened, and he couldn't say a word of persuasion.

Tuoba Zhong's long knife slashed in the air, "I am the God of War in the north, the son of Tuoba Pojun! I would rather die than surrender!"

Tuoba Zhong raised his knife and rushed towards Yaoyu, but was stopped by the heavy cavalry on the way.

Tan Yaoyu's heart was full of unconcealable grief, "Uncle Cui Shi, I will leave this place to you."

Cui Yong nodded, "Succeed! My niece, you bring people into the city first! It's a pity that these people died in vain. Leave it to me, Old Cui, to train the recruits!"

Tan Yaoyu turned his head slightly, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Tuoba Zhong who was fighting desperately, a gash had been cut on his face, half of his face was bleeding.

Tan Yaoyu finally couldn't bear to look at it any more, and turned around to lead people into the city.

There is no resistance in the city.

The original defenders of Beiliang City were still locked up, and the people in the city also learned that Tuoba Zhong was an impostor because of the large characters written on the wall by Xing Zhe.

At this time, they were awakened by the sound of shouting and killing at night and the light of fire, and they all opened the cracks in the doors and windows to observe the situation outside.Seeing Tan invites rain to bring people into the city, he is still a little confused.

It wasn't until the Salvation Army shouted out Tan Yaoyu's identity that Beiliang people came out of their homes one after another and kowtowed to Tan Yaoyu.

Tan invites rain to enter the palace without saying a word, and Qin Zhongzhi arranges to deal with the people in the city and the defenders of the original Beiliang.

After waiting for two full hours, when the sky was turning white, Cui Yongcai walked into the main hall of the palace covered in blood.

Cui Yong first looked at Qin Zhongzhi with some embarrassment, and then he said bravely: "My niece, I tried my best, but the little general still committed suicide."

Tan Yaoyu felt cold all over at this moment.Although she was angry and annoyed, after all, Tuoba Zhong was the child she had tried her best to protect... At this time, she died under the iron hooves of her army.

Tan Yaoyu knew that Cui Yong must have tried his best, otherwise Tuoba Zhong's men would not even be able to defend against a wave of assault by the heavy cavalry regiment.

She tried to calm herself down and asked, "Where are the others?"

"Several generals died in battle, and some followed Tuoba Zhong to suicide. Three out of ten soldiers survived."

Hearing this, Tan Yaoyu whispered in a disheartened voice, "Send them...back to the Northern Wei Dynasty..."
