Chapter 204: Fraudulent City

After the city gate was opened, Li Yuan took the lead and came to the city gate first, followed by more than 100 people who followed closely behind him to the city gate, and put on a posture to prevent possible conflicts. They were all familiar with this set, so they quickly guarded the city gate behind them. And their formation is also very tight.

Although Li Yuanren is greedy for money, he still has some ability. More than 100 of his people are his elite personal soldiers, and the combat effectiveness of these 100 or so people cannot be underestimated. If someone wants to force their way through, it's not that easy. Once they stop the people in the city, they will immediately come to support, and Li Yuan has also given an order not to worry about him if necessary, and directly close the city gate.

Li Yuan had just left the city gate, and as soon as the soldiers behind him had set up their formation, he saw a man wearing silk and dark skin walking out of the caravan.

I saw that the shopkeeper came to Li Yuan's side, nodded and said to him: "Official, we are businessmen who came back from the north, and this time we will trouble you, Official." After saying this, he stuffed a dozen or two gold ingots into Li Yuan's hands.

Li Yuan's eyes glanced at it, and he saw a yellow light appear in his hand, and then his hand sank. Li Yuan understood what this was, he was used to this kind of thing, but when he got other people's gold, he was embarrassed to be too tough.

So Li Yuan asked with a kind attitude: "This time the exit, the harvest is not bad, right?" There's been some movement in the north lately. ”

The shopkeeper-like man said, "Thanks to your blessings, this time we have gained quite a good harvest." earned a few taels of silver, and lived up to the trust of the owner. Now that the Tatars are in a mess in the north, they are more eager for our Central Plains goods, so this time they have done more trading. ”

Li Yuan didn't want to talk nonsense with him, he just wanted to finish this matter as soon as possible, so as to wait for the next wave to come back, so he said directly: "You still understand the rules, you need me to explain to you, finish things early, let's relax as soon as possible." ”

The shopkeeper nodded again and again and said, "Official, how can we not understand these rules that we all come and go?" Ten taels of silver for a cart will never be less. ”

After the shopkeeper said this, he waved to the back, and immediately two young men came carrying a small wooden box.

The shopkeeper opened the wooden box, and fifteen silver ingots were neatly arranged inside.

When Li Yuan saw these silver ingots, he immediately smiled and said, "Since they all understand the rules, I won't talk nonsense anymore." The next time you come to Gubeikou, I will invite you to dinner. ”

After Li Yuan finished speaking, he waved his hand to the pro-soldiers behind him, and several pro-soldiers came up to inspect their goods. This is also the rule set by Li Yuan, all goods entering and leaving his gate must be inspected.

When the shopkeeper saw this, he felt a panic in his life, but he immediately calmed down. took a few steps forward and came to Li Yuan's side. took out another ingot of gold from his arms, secretly stuffed it into Li Yuan's hand and said: "My lord, the goods we bought this time are more valuable, so we don't have to be like this when we come and go, in case something is damaged, I can't go back and explain to the owner." When the time comes, our host will blame it, and the adults will also eat and chat. ”

Li Yuan checked the gold in his hand, this is ten taels, and the bribes of these people are all considered his personal and will not be handed over. Take people's money and eliminate disasters with others. Since I accepted a bribe from him, this time I will open some convenient doors for him.

So Li Yuan said to the soldiers around him: "These are all old customers, there is no need to check again, let them pass." When these soldiers heard Li Yuan's order, they immediately let go of the road and made way to the city gate.

After thanking the treasurer for his kindness, he led the convoy to the gate of the city. As soon as they arrived at the city gate, the shopkeeper in front of them suddenly shouted: "Don't do it yet, wait for when." ”

So in this caravan of more than 100 people, suddenly a sheep turned into a beast, and these people took out all kinds of weapons from the vehicles beside them, just like the soldiers around them and slashed away. But the shopkeeper took out a jar of oil and threw it at one of the cars, and then he took out the fire and set the car on fire, and you will have a puff of smoke drifting into the sky.

As soon as Li Yuan saw this situation, where was there anything that was not clear? So he drew his scimitar, and while sending messengers to the city, he cut it like a Tatar beside him.

Besides, Bartel in the woods five miles away, seeing that the sun was getting higher and higher, but there was no wolf smoke floating at Gubeikou, and he was getting more and more anxious on the horse, and suddenly the personal soldiers beside him pointed to Gubeikou and said: "General, look, there is wolf smoke." ”

Battle looked up, and wolf smoke was indeed floating in the direction of Gubeikou. Battle couldn't help but be overjoyed, and immediately ordered: "All men come with me." ”

After saying this, he immediately turned on his horse and rushed forward. The cavalry behind him also followed him and galloped in the direction of Gubeikou.

At this time, at the Gubeikou city gate, the Tatars still occupied the position of the city gate and resisted desperately, and Li Yuan with more than 100 personal soldiers and a steady stream of soldiers had compressed them into a small area.

Just when Li Yuan thought that victory was in sight, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him. Li Yuan looked back and immediately burst into tears, only to see that today's cavalry behind him had quickly arrived. Seeing this situation, Li Yuan knew that he was afraid that it was too late for him to close the city gate. It seems that he has fallen for the tricks of the Tatars, and now in this situation, he can only fight desperately, either to drive the Tatars out of Gubeikou, or he will die here, otherwise with his mistakes this time, his family will definitely be affected.

After thinking about this, Li Yuan let go of other distractions. Leading the soldiers of Gubeikou, desperately fighting in the hope of closing the city gate before the cavalry arrived. But it was completely futile to think so, and the cavalry led by Battle soon approached the city gate, and Li Yuan saw that Battle had a look of despair, so he turned around and rushed towards Battle with a scimitar.

Li Yuan now thinks in his heart that it is to capture the thief and capture the king first, as long as he kills this leading general, the other soldiers will inevitably disperse in a hurry. In this way, he may be able to keep the Gubei Pass alive.

When Battle saw someone rushing towards him, he raised the iron spear in his hand and stabbed forward, Li Yuan was already as strong as a madman at this time, and he didn't care about the incoming iron spear, swinging the knife was like a slash from Battle's waist.

Where can Battle get him his wish? The iron spear turned slightly, and it collided with Li Yuan's waist knife. Li Yuan was able to be the imperial guard of the ancient Beikou, in addition to his own good at the left and right. His own kung fu is also the capital of his foothold.

Since he was now at a disadvantage with his waist knife, Battle didn't knock his waist knife away. It can be seen that Li Yuan also has some courage.

When Battle saw that he didn't kill Li Yuan, he waved the iron spear like Li Yuan swept over his waist, and Li Yuan hurriedly raised his knife to parry. But Battle used the spear with horsepower, although Li Yuan resisted hard, but this time he still swept him out of the distance, as soon as Battle saw Li Yuan fall to the ground, he immediately urged the horse forward, and a shot was about to take Li Yuan's life, this Li Yuan at the last moment, suddenly threw the knife in his hand straight at Battle, and Battle was caught off guard by the knife right across the waist. Battle and the others immediately bled from the waist.

But Battle was also brave, gritting his teeth and shooting, stabbing Li Yuan to the core.

After Battelle killed Li Yuan, he opened his armor to look at his wound, and although he had cut a deep wound, it was fine.

So Battle hastily bandaged his clothes, and broke into the city gate with his cavalry, killing the soldiers at the city gate. In a short time, the city gate was completely controlled, although there were still soldiers from afar in the city, rushing to retake the city gate. But Battle led the cavalry near the city gates, galloping back and forth. Constantly taking advantage of the cavalry, attacking and killing the infantry who rushed to support.

And at this moment, outside the Gubei Mouth, thunder erupted in all directions, endlessly. It turned out that Arslen Khan had arrived with a large cavalry to reinforce him, and the soldiers in the city were already desperate when they saw this situation, so these people threw down their swords and guns and scattered.

Seeing that the enemy had fled, Battle did not risk attacking but held on to the gates. When Arslen Khan arrived at the city gate with his soldiers, Batel had already cleaned up the vicinity of the gate so that the army could move unimpeded.

As soon as Arslen Khan saw Battle, he said in a loud voice: "Battle, you have made a great contribution today, and when you go back, I will reward you with a hundred beauties from the Central Plains." When he finished speaking, he burst out laughing.

Arslen Khan led a large army into Gubeikou and began to clean the Gubeikou. Arslen Khan believed that Gubeikou was an important passage for him to travel back and forth, and there must not be a single Han Chinese. So he ordered a brutal massacre of Gubeikou.

There are no ordinary residents living in Gubeikou, and the people here are all family members of Gubeikou soldiers, except for young women, all of them are killed. On this day, the Tatars killed more than 3,000 innocent people, and more than 1,000 Han women became military prostitutes.

When Arslen Khan was rectifying the back road at Gubeikou. The defeated army of Gubeikou has already arrived in Miyun.

As soon as Miyun Garrison Gu Xu received the news from his subordinates, he was frightened. On the one hand, he gathered his troops and closed the Miyun City Gate, and on the other hand, he sent fast horses to report to Jingzhong and ask for reinforcements.

Arslen Khan did not delay much in Gubeikou, after he cleaned up Gubeikou and ensured the back road. He led the army all the way to Miyun, and it only took one day to reach Miyun. After coming to Miyun, he immediately surrounded Miyun.

Miyun Garrison Gu Xu stood on the head of the city and saw this situation, and he was already shivering. In his opinion, there were at least two or three hundred thousand Tatars outside, and they were all strong and strong. Although his subordinates are also elite, to be honest, they are still a little behind the Tatars under the city.

Now there is only one way left in front of Gu Xu, hoping that the imperial court can send reinforcements before the Tatars break the dense clouds.

On the second day after besieging Miyun, Arslen Khan opened the camp gate and sent a large army to push various siege equipment to the city wall of Miyun.

Arslen Khan still didn't want his army to lose too much in the siege station, after all, they were only a nation on horseback, and they were not good at siege, and if they wanted to forcibly attack the city, they would inevitably suffer heavy losses.

So he came to the front of the battle to prepare to talk to the general defending the city in Miyun, hoping to persuade him to surrender the city so as to reduce his losses.

Arslen Khan is now so afraid of attacking the city, and he was also troubled by Jia Ke. I think that he led tens of thousands of horses to besiege Kaiping Town, and attacked for several months in a row, but he did not break through Kaiping Town, which left a deep impression on him. Therefore, in later wars, he always tried to avoid siege warfare.
