A large number of defeated soldiers poured into Yinchuan City. Qitate was probably the most embarrassed one among them. He was covered in mud and his face was covered in gunpowder. Almost no one could recognize him.
He rushed back to the government office. When Yatu saw him like this, his lips trembled slightly. He looked at him in disbelief for a long time before asking in a trembling voice: "Khan, how... how is this possible? How is this possible? How did the Qin army cross the river..."
"Ah? What did you say? Speak louder!" Qitate hurriedly scooped a handful of water from the lotus pond to wash his face, while shouting, shaking Liang Yu's voice.
"Great Khan, tell me quickly, how could we be defeated so quickly? How did the Qin army cross the Yellow River? Tell me!" Yatu grabbed him and shook him, his voice was shrill and he looked like a madman.
"The Qin army can fly. They flew across the Yellow River..." Now Qitate finally heard it clearly.
Pah! With a loud and clear slap, Yatu was so ruthless that he just wanted to beat Qitate to wake him up. "Khan, wake up, tell me, tell me how the Qin army crossed the river!"
"Didn't I tell you that the Qin army can fly! Can fly..."
Slap! Yatu slapped him again.
Qitate's cheeks were slapped and burned. He thought to himself, I am telling the truth, how dare you slap me again and again, slap! Qitate was furious and slapped Yatu in the face, shouting, "You bitch, I'm not crazy. The Qin army really flew across the river. Get ready to retreat. Ningxia can't be defended anymore. Go..."
Yatu fell to the ground after being slapped in the face. She looked at Qitate in disbelief, then said nothing, got up, rushed out of the government office, mounted her horse and rushed towards the city gate with a dozen personal soldiers.
The soldiers who were originally defending the west bank of the Yellow River were defeated and were pouring into the city. The streets were full of fleeing soldiers running around like headless flies.
"Men. Men, stop!"
"Princess, Princess, is that you?"
"Meng En, what's going on? How did the Qin army cross the river? Didn't you send people to patrol along the river? Why didn't you know that the Qin army crossed the river..."
"Princess, the Qin army is flying here, they can fly..."
Yatu was dumbfounded. She didn't believe what Qitate said, but now Meng En also said so, it seemed to be true.
"Meng En, explain clearly, how could the Qin army fly? How many troops did they cross the river, and where did they go?"
"Princess, they are flying over here with big wings, filling the sky. They are dropping shells from the sky... and there are thousands of people crossing the river in small boats, and they are almost here. Princess..."
All of this was beyond Yatu's comprehension. She was always resourceful. She was in a state of confusion and didn't know how to deal with it.
"The Qin army can fly... The Qin army can fly..." She murmured to herself for a few words, shook her head to make herself more awake. Then she asked anxiously: "Meng En, what about Keyimen? Is there any news?"
"Back to Princess. Not yet."
"Quick, let's go to Longyi Gate!"
As Yatu said this, he immediately turned his horse's head and rushed towards the north gate. The defeated soldiers in the city were running around in panic, each of them was in a state of despair. Yatu knew that this city could not be defended for sure. The Keyi Gate had not been attacked yet, and there were still more than ten thousand troops there. Before the news of the defeat here could get through, he should rush over and control the more than ten thousand troops of the Keyi Gate, and perhaps he could still escape.
Yatu's reaction was quick, but there were people who were even faster than her. Yan Xiaoman and his seven hundred men were chasing the fleeing soldiers all the way to the outskirts of Yinchuan City.
At this time, the four gates of Yinchuan City were wide open, and there was no one guarding it. Looking inside from the city gate, the streets were full of people running around in a panic, and it was a mess.
When Yan Xiaoman saw this situation, he immediately said to Zhao Zhensheng, the leader of the team: "General, the city is in chaos. We are few in number. Once we enter the city, the advantage of rifle range will be lost. If we encounter a siege, the consequences will be unpredictable. I suggest that we divide our troops to trap the gates of Yinchuan first, destroy the moat bridge, and trap the enemy in the city. After General Su's army crosses the river, we can catch them in the jar."
Zhao Zhensheng listened to his suggestion and thought it made sense. Although the enemy army was defeated, they still had tens of thousands of troops. In addition, there were many civilians in the city, and they were all in chaos. In this situation, if a few hundred people rushed into the city, it was indeed possible that something unexpected would happen.
"Okay, let's do as Xiaoman said. Wei Yan goes to the South Gate, Ye Guigen goes to the West Gate, and Xiao Yan goes to the North Gate. Quick!"
“Yes!”
Everyone responded with a loud shout, and immediately each took 150 people and ran away in all directions.
At this time, Yatu in the city was also rushing towards the north gate with Meng En. At this moment, she was like racing with death, but the streets were overcrowded, with defeated soldiers and rioters everywhere. Men, women, young and old, with their families, were running all over the streets. Especially the closer to the north gate, the more people fled on the streets. Everyone wanted to escape from the city, and it was so crowded that it was difficult to move.
Yatu and her companions had war horses, but they were blocked by the surging crowd and could not move at all. Yatu was so anxious that smoke was almost coming out of her head.
"Meng En, kill, carve out a bloody path, quickly!"
"Yes, Princess."
Meng En immediately led himself and several dozen of Yatu's personal soldiers, drew their swords and rushed forward to chop wildly, "Get out of the way! Get out of the way!" Meng En shouted, while riding his horse forward and slashing with his saber;
The crowded people in the street screamed and cried and fled under the hacking of these ferocious monsters.
Meng En and his men's hands were so weak from chopping that they were out of breath. The street was littered with corpses. They finally cut a bloody path, but just as they rushed to the north gate, they heard gunshots coming from outside the gate.
Yan Xiaoman rushed over with 150 Qin soldiers, also out of breath, holding a rifle and shooting at the fleeing soldiers who were escaping the city. After eliminating the nearby threats, Yan Xiaoman immediately shouted: "Quick, blow up the moat bridge."
Several Qin soldiers immediately followed orders and threw a dozen thunder bombs onto the moat bridge. This kind of moat bridge can be hoisted up when needed, so it is all made of wood. How can it withstand the bombing of so many thunder bombs? Boom boom boom! Amid a series of fierce explosions, the moat bridge instantly turned into pieces of broken wood.
Yatu and her companions who had rushed to the city gate were thrown off by the violent explosion. Their horses neighed in shock and many of them were thrown off. Tuya was caught off guard and fell down as well, almost rolling into the moat.
"Princess!"
"Princess, how are you?"
"I..." Yatu, who was in pain all over, got up and looked at the moat bridge that was blown away, wanting to cry but without tears. On the other side of the river, more than a hundred Qin soldiers formed three shooting formations with their guns pointed at the city gate, but they did not shoot. There was no need to do so unless someone wanted to swim across the moat.
"Princess, what now?"
A feeling of despair filled Yatu's heart. What should he do? What else could he do
On the bank of the Yellow River, after receiving the news that the vanguard had successfully blockaded Yinchuan City, Su Jin calmly built a pontoon bridge and led his troops across the river.
Qin Mu, who was bored, took the tribal leaders to hunt on the grassland. He did not lead Teng Jitai and others to cross the river until the large team had basically crossed the west bank.
After Su Jin's army crossed the river, he left 10,000 troops to besiege the city. At the same time, he ordered Li Jiu to lead 5,000 people to attack Keyi Gate, ordered guerrilla Li Yi Qiu to take Qingtongxia, and ordered Lieutenant General Qu Nan and others to sweep the counties outside Yinchuan.
In Yinchuan city, Yatu and Qitat, who had nowhere to escape, reorganized their forces and tried to put up a last-ditch effort. However, Li Chongyang and his men took off again, fired a dozen rockets at the city walls from above, and the enemy forces, which had barely been organized, collapsed again.
Ten thousand Qin troops took advantage of the situation and attacked the city, catching Yatu in a trap. Yatu changed into the rags of an ordinary woman, smeared her face with mud, and hid in a stable. The Qin army searched for her repeatedly, and finally Yan Xiaoman and his men found her.
Qitate, Yatu, Mutab, Hadanbaatar, Mengen and others were all brought before Qin Mu. Qin Mu stepped forward, lifted Yatu's face with the whip, and said with a smile: "Well, she is indeed quite pretty."
Yatu stared at him without saying anything, but she had a little expectation in her heart, hoping that Qin Mu would be attracted by her beauty. If that were true, that would be great.
Qin Mu smiled and said to Yan Xiaoman: "Xiaoman, you have captured this person, so I will give him to you to enjoy."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Yatu's face turned pale and he shouted, "You don't have to do this, you can't... please... spare me..."
"You are too troublesome. I can't let you be the only one to trouble others." Qin Mu said, and ignored her shouting. He then said to Yan Xiaoman, "I will fulfill my promise to you now. Qitate and Hadanbaatar are also handed over to you. You can decide how to deal with them."
Yan Xiaoman was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.
