Chapter 680: The Crazy Kebineng

The strange behavior of the Xianbei Army can be regarded as a big problem for the Pingzhou Army, and even think tanks such as Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai can't figure out what Ke Bineng is planning for a while.

But since this is the case, the battle should still be fought.

Or rather, now it's Kebi that can force to fight!

Since that suicide war, Kebineng has gone farther and farther on the road of madness, leading his troops into battle every day. Although the scale is not as large as it was on the first day, the way the battle is fought is the same as before.

For more than ten days in a row, as if he was clocking in at work, Kebi was able to lead the troops out of the city on time every day to provoke, and the Pingzhou army took turns to meet the battle. The armies that can be dispatched by Kebi are strong and weak, but the strongest armies that are really engaged are limited to the level of wolf cavalry and basically retreat in a battle, and most of the main forces of the engagement are concentrated in the regular 10,000 cavalry and the newly built 10,000 cavalry.

Although the Xianbei army was suspected of suicidal attack, although the combat strength of the army was low, the casualties of the Pingzhou army were not small after half a month of fighting. Since the siege, the cumulative casualties of the Pingzhou army have been about 260,000.

Of course, compared with the Pingzhou Army, the casualties of the Xianbei Army can no longer be described as heavy.

Including the more than 200,000 casualties on the very first day, counting the soldiers who died in the defense of the city during the period, the total casualties of the Xianbei army exceeded 2 million! More than half of the twenty-four newly built 10,000 cavalry were directly wiped out and cancelled, and even three of the regular 10,000 cavalry were cancelled.

More Xianbei Wanqi cavalry suffered heavy casualties, and dissatisfaction with the formation almost became the normal state of the Xianbei army. At present, there are only six Hun cavalry and five wolf cavalry remaining in the full strength of 100,000 cavalry.

Such a tragic proportion of casualties, especially Kebineng's constant refusal to send real elites to battle, directly led to the turmoil in the hearts of the Xianbei army. A large reason for Kobi's success in ascending to the throne is that he is fair and can properly handle the contradictions and conflicts between various tribes.

And now his actions are to overturn his own personality with his own hands, and many Xianbei nobles who have expectations for Kebi are gradually beginning to despair. And Kebineng's successive defeats in this half month have caused his prestige in the Xianbei army to plummet, and many Xianbei nobles with real power who have suffered from their own interests have secretly united in an attempt to launch a coup d'état.

But at this time, the "mediocre and incompetent" Kebineng suddenly became shrewd again, showing his due level. At a glance, he saw through the conspiracy of those aristocrats and sabotaged their plans in three or two. Not only that, but he also planned to use the strength of the loyal six Hun Wanqi and five wolf cavalry Wanqi to capture all the five thousand horsemen who participated in the rebellion and hundreds of half-hearted Xianbei nobles in one fell swoop.

And then...... And then there was a massacre!

A full 50,000 horsemen, and the 420,000 Xianbei troops who participated in the rebellion were all killed by Kebineng in one go!

This horrific decision caused even more turmoil within Xianbei than the rebellion itself. Intrigue and betrayal are purely daily activities in Xianbei. However, since the time of Tanshikui, the punishment for rebels has generally been the killing of leaders and a small number of die-hard troops.

For most of the ordinary troops involved in the rebellion, they were mainly surrendered, and they were disbanded at the end of the day, and it was almost sensational to massacre the rebel troops who had surrendered on a large scale like Kobineng.

Such an exaggerated order naturally aroused strong opposition among the Xianbei army, and many Xianbei nobles who were originally in the neutral camp began to criticize Kebineng's brutal practices, and the entire head Manchester City was in turmoil for a while.

If it weren't for the three million Pingzhou troops outside the city, I'm afraid the second Xianbei civil war would have begun.

However, in just two days, the stormy Tou Manchester City immediately settled down, and there was silence in the entire Tou Manchester City, and all the voices against Kebineng disappeared!

Of course, this is not a sudden change of heart of the Xianbei aristocracy, but Kebineng is really "crazy"!

In the face of surging internal opposition, instead of compromising, Kebineng began to arrest the Xianbei nobles who held the opposing position on charges of "collaborating with the enemy" and "rebellion", and immediately sent troops to suppress and execute them if they resisted.

Although more than 2 million troops were killed, the Xiongnu cavalry and wolf cavalry, which were the pillars of Xianbei, were completely preserved, and the combat strength of the descendants of Kebineng did not decline significantly.

Under the butcher's knives of the Xiongnu 10,000 cavalry and the wolf cavalry, the opposition, which was dominated by the newly formed 10,000 cavalry and the regular 10,000 cavalry, was obviously not an opponent. Moreover, although the massacre before Kebineng caused strong criticism, he still has a lot of power, and not everyone wants to oppose him, and the regular army that really supports Kebineng still occupies a large proportion.

Under the iron-blooded purge of Kebineng, accompanied by the rolling heads of the opposition, Manchester City quickly quieted down, at least on the surface, as for how many turbulent waves are behind the calm performance, only God knows!

Anyway, there is a shadow of a thousand illusions in the Xianbei opposition.

If the matter ends here, it can be said that it is a relatively radical measure taken by Kobi to stabilize his rule under high pressure, and it is still some distance from the evaluation of "crazy".

But then Kebineng's actions are incomprehensible, and at the same time, he also confirms the name of a madman!

Kebi was able to use the pretext of turmoil in the city and the Han people's rampant behavior, and at the same time the whole city was under martial law, he arrested spies on a large scale. The target of this spy directly covered the Xianbei army, nobles, commoners, slaves and other strata, except for the six Hun Wancai and the wolf cavalry, the rest of the activities were all activities to catch spies.

And this move is even so crazy that someone who still captures a member of the army in the morning will directly become a spy who was arrested in the afternoon.

Any complaints and complaints against Kebineng are evidence of meticulous work, and the spies caught will be brought back directly without any trial and all of them will be killed under the supervision of Kebineng himself. This crazy order immediately silenced the whole head Manchester City, saying that the road is light for the eye, and no one dares to go on the road at all! Even the special operations army that hid at home was afraid of catching the Han army's meticulous work broke in!

And in this extreme situation, Kebineng even insisted on sending troops out of the city to fight the Pingzhou army. The main force of the army in the battle is still dominated by the regular 10,000 cavalry and the newly formed 10,000 cavalry, and by the way, a Xiongnu cavalry or wolf cavalry is sent to "assist".

It is said to be a support, but in fact it is the Warlord. Any situation such as cowardice and unauthorized retreat will be treated as traitors, and the Xianbei army out of the city has only two choices, either fight desperately with the Pingzhou army, and perhaps after most of the battle is killed, Kebineng will allow the remaining part to retreat; Or be mercilessly killed by the Warlords!

This situation lasted for three days, ending with a battlefield rebellion of the Xianbei army that was forced to go out of the city to face the battle, and directly raised the white flag and surrendered to the Pingzhou army.

At this point, Kebineng no longer sent troops out of the city to fight on his own initiative. At the same time, the siege of the Pingzhou army has not stopped, and the section of the city wall that is focused on the attack has long been riddled with holes and may collapse at any time. The defenders on the city wall were fluctuating, and if it weren't for the threat of the war knives of the warlords, it is estimated that they would have dispersed in a hurry.

With the current grim situation in the city of Mantou, the city wall has been lost, and except for the Xiongnu cavalry and wolf cavalry of Kebineng's lineage, there will hardly be any army that can hold out on to resistance.

If Shang Ji can give some appropriate promises, he can even make them fight anyway.

It looks like victory is within reach, and today is the fifty-fifth day of the war of fortunes!
