"What are they doing?" Dian Qing was a little surprised.

Even if they were caught off guard, King Xutu's repaired fortifications should have been able to hold off their attack and delay them for a certain amount of time.

But apart from some horse traps and deer horns that they encountered at the beginning, they really marched straight into the city of Wuwei.

"Only repair the outer periphery?" Qiang Wei was also stunned.

According to the intelligence they had obtained, they thought that King Xiutu had built fortifications to the outskirts of Jincheng County and turned the entire Xiutu City into a turtle shell.

Who would have thought that except for the fortifications they encountered at the beginning, there were no fortifications after they broke into the middle.

“…” Yan Yan was also a little confused.

The first news they received from the Di people was that King Xiutu was building a large number of defensive fortresses, all of which were built to the edge of Jincheng.

However, apart from the initial obstacles encountered by the Yulin Guards, they then advanced straight ahead without encountering any resistance.

"Is there a possibility that their fortifications were built from the outside inwards?"

After hesitating for a while, everyone suddenly came up with an incredible possibility.

Apart from this possibility, they really couldn't think of any other reason.

"Which good person would build the defense from the outside in?"

Yan Yan's jaw dropped as well.

His original plan was to attack the enemy unexpectedly, with the Yulin Guards taking the lead in breaking through the siege, pushing the battle line to the central part of Wuwei County, and then slowly attacking from there.

At least King Xiutu won’t turn the entire Wuwei into a tortoise shell.

Who would have thought that there was such a clever idea to repair the outside first and then the inside.

They were driven directly to the outskirts of Wuwei city.

King Xiutu Jin, Dugu, and Yan were also a little confused.

The defeat was too quick.

They had never expected that the Bingzhou Blood Cavalry would arrive so quickly.

So when they encountered a surprise attack on the periphery, the front-line generals actually chose to retreat instead of using the already built fortifications to resist the enemy.

"What's going on?" King Xiutu looked at the head of the Dugu family who was in charge of the outer defense.

Dugu Ming was also a little confused. The defeat was so quick that he didn't even have the chance to meet the generals leading the troops of the Dugu clan.

"I don't know!" Dugu Ming shook his head blankly.

The enemy's attack was faster than their retreat.

The army led by their Dugu family was unable to retreat to Xiutu City, and the Yulin Cavalry had already arrived at the foot of Xiutu City.

It might be difficult to go into the city.

The general who commanded the Dugu clan was really scared.

He wanted to use fortifications to block it.

But the enemy's elite forces were beyond their imagination.

Those cavalrymen are so scary.

The horse traps and deer horns are useless.

As long as the knight in front stepped into the trap, the cavalry behind could easily avoid it by manipulating their horses, and then rush past with fiery aggression.

Seeing this situation, Dugu Longcheng decisively chose to retreat.

beat?
Hit a hammer!

With such elite troops, they would be dead if they go up!
You didn't see that while he was controlling his warhorse to avoid defensive obstacles and fortifications, he was drawing his bow and arrow on the horse.

It would be difficult for even the former royal guard cavalry to achieve such elite status.

But there are no less than 30,000 such cavalrymen on their opposite side.

Therefore, Dugu Longcheng decisively led the army of the Dugu tribe and fled.

Moreover, Dugu Longcheng knew very well that if they fled to Xiutu City, they might not be able to outrun the Yulin Guards.

So, Dugu Longcheng led his army directly to the Alashan Plateau to avoid the attack of the Yulin Guards.

They are not stupid, King Xiutu is King Xiutu, and Dugu is Dugu. If they put all their elite troops here, even if they repel the Bingzhou army in the future, their fate will be very sad.

This was also what the clan leader Dugu Ming told them.

Just look at Yanshi and you will understand.

He went to attack Yumen Pass but suffered heavy casualties. Now he is in the meeting to stop the massacre and he barely even gets a chance to sit at the table.

If King Hunxie was not a descendant of the Yan clan, King Xiutu might have directly annexed the Yan clan.

Therefore, Dugu Longcheng left without any hesitation.

However, he did not lead his army to escape into the Alashan Plateau. Instead, he cruised around the foothills of the Helan Mountains, waiting for a bloody fight between King Xiutu and Bingzhou.

If Jin and Yan could not stop them, he would not mind leading the Bingzhou army to find King Hunxie.

They all lived on the grassland, and they surrendered if they lost.

They don't feel the slightest bit of guilt about this.

This is done throughout the grassland.

This was the reason why the Yulin Guards were able to march straight into the city of Xiutu.

It’s not that King Xiutu didn’t prepare a large army to stop them.

Instead, in order to prevent themselves from suffering too much loss in the war, Dugu chose to avoid the sharp edge of the Yulin Army.

The result is the current situation.

However, Yan Yan and his men did not know that the army that was originally sent to resist them was actually scared away just by looking at the Yulin Guards.

Dugu Ming waited in the city for a long time, but never saw the army from their Dugu tribe.

An ominous premonition also rose in my heart.

"Could it be that the main force of Bingzhou has already arrived, Longcheng doesn't even have a chance to escape, and my Dugu clan is completely wiped out?"

Dugu Ming couldn't sleep that night.

Without their army, the Dugu clan is no longer one of the three major tribes in the Xiutu royal city.

"Bingzhou is short of people and soldiers, so they won't annihilate Longcheng and his men, right?"

Dugu Ming tossed and turned.

"If the men of Longcheng and my Dugu clan were only captured, we can probably choose to surrender and get our men back!"

Once a thought arises, it can never be eliminated.

Dugu Ming got up at night and asked his trusted confidants to go out of the city to gather information.

If Bingzhou really surrounded Dugu Longcheng and Dugu's army, then they, the Dugu clan, would be willing to pay a certain price in exchange for the lives of their men and surrender to Bingzhou.

Isn’t Bingzhou going to attack the city?

Yes, as long as the men of my Dugu family can return home, then Dugu family is willing to open the door to Bingzhou.

However, the city gates were closed, and the Yulin Guards blocked the entire Xiutu City from transmitting any information to the outside world.

Dugu Ming had no idea what the current situation of Dugu Longcheng was, and he would never have thought that Dugu Longcheng would be afraid before the battle and would just run away with the army.

Of course, if he knew, Dugu Ming would not be angry.

After all, Dugu Longcheng was built to protect the army.

Although he had never seen the elite of the Yulin Army.

But the fact that Dugu Longcheng could make such a judgment proved that the Yulin Guards really had the potential to completely defeat them.

Sacrifice yourself to buy time for the garrison of Xiu Tucheng?

Dugu would not do that!
In the entire grassland, except for the elite tribes, any tribe with some ambition, ability and power would not do this.

King Xiu Tu?
Who is it? Just die, what does it have to do with us?
Therefore, Dugu Ming sent his confidants to ask for an audience with the vanguard general of the Yulin Guard.

"Dugu, you want to see me?" Dian Qing was stunned.

They were very clear about Dugu's status in Xiutu.

If the Dugu family can be persuaded to rebel, Wuwei City will fall without a fight.
