Ten miles, this is a distance that is not near or far.

If you want stability, then you should really close the city gate at this time, who can take care of the old and young women and children outside the city. It's just that in Lin Haoran's heart, there is a faint voice telling him that he can't do this, at least the tiger girl can't do this.

Su Changyuan's face was shocked when he heard this, and he immediately advised: "Boss, once you let the Mongolian cavalry break in, the consequences will be really unimaginable!" ”

He knew what virtues these soldiers had, and it was okay to let them bully the common people or eliminate some thieves, and let them deal with the Mongolian soldiers who fought bravely, and I am afraid that one would run faster than the other.

Lin Haoran knew this well, but his eyes were still on the old and young women and children in the official roads outside the city, but he suddenly raised his voice and asked, "Isn't there anyone who can fight in the six guards?" ”

Tongzhou has stored hundreds of stone grain all year round, and at the time of the Tumubao Rebellion, it was as high as 15 million stone grain, so it was natural to arrange heavy soldiers to guard it here.

It is in this way that Tongzhou has fully arranged the strength of six guards, and the garrisons are Shenwu Zhongwei, Tongzhou Wei, Tongzhou Left Guard, Tongzhou Right Guard, Dingbian Guard and Wuqing Guard, with a strength of 5,600 people per guard, a total of 33,600 people.

There are more than 30,000 soldiers in this city, and now they are facing a thousand Mongolian cavalry, and this cavalry is still ten miles away, and the result is that they are so frightened that they want to close the city gates, and they don't have the slightest intention of eating this Mongolian cavalry.

Fan Jian, the general of Tongzhou, first gave the general next to him a look, and even if he stood in place and looked at his nose and heart, it was already impossible to automatically ask for battle.

The commander of the border guard is not as weak as Yang Shu, the commander of the Leizhou guard, but he is already an image of a son who has been hollowed out by wine and wealth.

In the face of Lin Haoran's agitation, he was still a little ashamed, and he lowered his head slightly.

The others saw that the two leaders did not express their position, especially General Fan had just given them a look, and they were silent at this time, lowering their heads slightly.

This scene made the atmosphere depressing, and it gave Lin Haoran an invisible pressure.

Lin Haoran heard the sound of his heartbeat and felt their silent protest, he already hoped that he would give an order to send this city gate, but he did not reach the point of insensitivity after all, and asked in a deep voice: "As soldiers, you have the responsibility of protecting your family and defending the country, do you really want to see these old and young women and children outside being slaughtered by the Tartars?" ”

Hearing these words, many generals were slightly moved, but there seemed to be something unspeakable, and finally maintained a silent protest, allowing Lin Haoran to give the order to close the city gate.

Tongzhou Zhizhou sighed secretly in his heart, and looked at these generals who were supposed to defend the country helplessly.

Fan Jian's face was indifferent, if it weren't for Lin Haoran's appearance, this Tongzhou City would have been closed long ago. Now that Tartar really came, he really didn't understand what capital Lin Haoran still had, and he still wanted to take care of the untouchables outside at this time.

He knew that no one here would stand up to Lin Haoran, so he coughed proudly.

"The last general will set the border guard Qianhu Zhang Jun to ask for battle!"

It was at this moment that a sturdy general stood up and saluted Lin Haoran on one knee.

This......

When Fan Jian was proud, he never expected to be inserted into a bar, and he couldn't help but look angrily at this little thousand households who didn't know how to lift.

Hey?

Lin Haoran looked at this thousand households, but he always felt that he had seen it somewhere, but now he didn't want to think about it, and he couldn't care so much, so he immediately stepped forward to help him up and said, "It's really a fierce general!" ”

"There will be three more requests at the end! If not, the last general would not dare to take his brother out of the city! Zhang Jun was helped up from the ground, but he faintly threatened Lin Haoran.

Lin Haoran was a little relieved, after all, it was already a fool's dream for a thousand households to block thousands of Mongolian cavalry, so he nodded lightly and said, "Say it!" ”

"First, the city gate can only be closed by order of the last general, and the last general and his brothers cannot be locked out of the city gate!" Zhang Jun met Lin Haoran's gaze and raised an index finger fearlessly.

"Do you know that the military situation is changing rapidly, and this city is related to millions of stone grains in the imperial court, how can you make this matter your decision!" Fan Jian's heart suddenly became anxious, and he immediately reprimanded.

Zhang Jun was indifferent, but his eyes fell on Lin Haoran.

Lin Haoran hesitated for a moment, but flatly refused: "This official can't promise you!" ”

The corners of Fan Jian's mouth immediately rose slightly, and he realized that he had just been excited too early, this Lin Haoran actually wanted to make a good reputation, but after all, he was a greedy person who was afraid of death.

It was still winter just now, but with the dark clouds drifting in the east, the whole Tongzhou City has a tendency to come with wind and rain.

"Woo...... The court has not given up on us, hurry up and enter the city! ”

When the people finally saw the city gate open from a distance, tears could not help but welling up in their eyes, and their hearts were so excited that they quickened their pace again, and ran towards the city gate with their last strength.

They seem to see hope, or a glimmer of hope for this decaying dynasty.

How so?

It's just that they didn't run a few steps before they found that there was a strange movement behind them, and the small pebbles on the ground slid inexplicably, making many people immediately feel that the situation was abnormal.

A mighty Mongolian cavalry appeared, each of them was a good horseman, with a bow and arrow on his back, a waist knife stuck in his waist, and his equipment was already far superior to that of the Ming soldiers.

At this time, the lines are lined up on the hillside, which invisibly gives people a huge pressure.

When the Mongolian cavalry saw the towering Tongzhou City in front of them, they were extremely puzzled that the gate of this large city used by the Ming Dynasty to store grain was actually open.

"Fourth brother, the city gate is still open, I'm afraid there is fraud here!"

Geriletu patted his horse to Hamu's side and said vigilantly.

After dealing with Daming for so many years, they have also summed up a lot of experience. Da Ming had already heard of them, and the city gate would always be closed as soon as possible, and it was impossible to give them the opportunity to attack directly from the city gate.

Although Hamu Du'er has a full face and beard, he is not a brave and unscrupulous person, and he is also observing this Tongzhou city, and at the same time thinking about whether it will be a trap.

Bang!

Suddenly there was a loud bang at the head of the city, and a solid buckshot was thrown high and then landed on the grass less than ten meters away, instantly smashing a large hole.

"Brother, they want to cover the civilians into the city, let's take this opportunity to take Tongzhou City!"

When Hamu saw the people running wildly, and saw that they wanted to stop him with heavy artillery, he immediately raised his hand and slapped his horse towards the city gate like a shark smelling blood.

Except for a few who stayed behind to take care of the horses, the rest of the Mongolian cavalry followed Hamu and rushed to Tongzhou City, wanting to enter Tongzhou City before the city gate was closed.

Hamu watched the gate get closer and closer, and he could already hear the beating of his ecstatic heartbeat.

If he was able to take the city, then his grandfather would inevitably change his mind, thus kicking off their Mongol domination of the Central Plains. Although it is a bit troublesome to take the city with only a thousand cavalry, what if it succeeds?
