"What was the master looking at just now?"

Seeing that Wang Xing was suddenly distracted, he asked quickly.

"Nothing, see two little things." He shook his head and smiled, then he didn't think much about it, and then his eyes wandered to the battlefield down the mountain.

Relying on the desperate efforts of the family members, the encirclement of the white-armored ambush soldiers seemed to have been torn through a small opening, and He Shixian's general flag was squeezed out of the gap, and rushed all the way towards Shenyang City, but those white-armored elites obviously did not let go of He Zongbing, and they also chased all the way behind.

This chase and chase scene looks boring, but the people involved are sweating, and the white armor that rushed in front shoots cold arrows from time to time, and a round of arrow rain, there are many He Yingjia behind the palace who fell from their horses with arrows, and the atmosphere is inevitably tense.

Especially He Shixian, at this moment, the white armor behind him was chasing eagerly, and it was obviously impossible to enter from the east gate, and the city gate over there might not dare to open. ”

He Shixian had woken up for ten years, and was fighting hard to find a way out, when he heard the shouts in the city, his heart lit up.

If you want to go to the west gate, you have to go around the city, and now the white-armored cavalry is in great pursuit, and the city's artillery does not dare to let it go lightly, otherwise it will hurt itself.

But as long as his horse is fast enough, Jiannu always has scruples, thinking about this, he hurriedly patted his horse forward.

But those white-armored soldiers were also not afraid of death, and they accelerated to catch up. Seeing this, the city fired bows and crossbows together, but the white-armored horses under the city were not slow, and the first round of indiscriminate shooting in the city did not hurt much, but it made the He Ying family who wanted to watch the wind even more embarrassed.

After chasing and fighting like this, He Shixian finally retreated to the West Gate, and saw that the white-armored soldiers did not retreat, and they had a good nest of fire before, but they were a little arrogant and wanted to fight back.

At this moment, the west gate has been opened, seeing that the reinforcements are about to go out of the city to respond, He Ying's spirit was shocked, listening to He Shixian's shout, and reflexively rushed back, but for a while he took the advantage.

Just when He Shixian thought that the overall situation had been decided, he heard the panic screams of the family around him, and then he looked back, but it was like falling into an ice cave. But when he saw a cloud of black smoke rising from inside the West Gate, and the sound of killing inside the gate shook the sky, he couldn't really hear it, but he saw a group of soldiers rushing out of the city in embarrassment, shouting as they ran - 'The Tartars are reversed!' ’

Sure enough, soon a fire broke out on the city tower, and the enemy tower also shouted to kill, and the defenders of the city fell directly from the city because they couldn't support it.

The situation suddenly took a turn for the worse.

After another quarter of an hour of fighting, a team of men and horses rushed out of the West Gate, He Shixian saw that he was You Shigong's family, he was not happy but worried, a city general, at this time to lead the troops out, obviously not a good thing. Sure enough, as soon as he saw You Shigong, he saw the other party and said: "The Jiannu spies are setting fire everywhere in the city, and the gate on the edge of the town has been lost." ”

"Then what are Brother You's plans?"

"The only way to do this is to break out first and ask for help from the south."

"Are you sure?"

"There are only these people left around, whether they succeed or not, they can only do it hard, what does General Rong say?"

"Life and death go together."

"Good!" Looking at the more than ten feather arrows on He Shixian's body, some of them had penetrated the heavy armor, and the inner lining of the battle jacket also oozing blood, showing that he had been injured a lot, You Shigong only hesitated slightly, and then made a decision, he made a move back with one hand, and shouted: "Children, kill thieves!" ”

As soon as they shouted, the family members surrounded the two of them and rushed straight south to kill them.

At this moment, there have been rebels on the West Gate City to make noise, and the white armor outside the city also besieged it, He You and the two of them just said a few words, the siege has become tighter, and they are angry, and the two families are also like a broken boat, all of them are brave, but after all, He Bu has been tired of fighting for a long time, and the horsepower is also unbearable, You Bu was affected by it, and suddenly slowed down, and more than 1,000 people were soon drowned by the tide of white armor.

There is no hope of returning to heaven.

…………

At night, eighty miles north of Shenyang, Wang Xingping and his entourage finally arrived here shortly after dark.

Yilu City is not a big city, but the shape of the military city is still the same, and it is only special because of the special location in several military cities in northern Liaoning.

In July of the previous year, after the Later Jin army captured Tieling, Nurhachi handed over this place to Zhenglanqi, where Mang Gurtai had been stationed before he went south, and it was here that the Mongolian nobleman Zai Sai was imprisoned.

The city of Yilu is north of the Pu River, and it is a place where the Uqiye tribe who are now stationed here to graze often come and go.

Under the stone tower of a deserted temple outside the city, Wang Xingping and others were sitting together, studying a simple sand table by kerosene light, which was hastily piled up, only about the outline of the city, but the important places were clearly marked.

"Where is the exact location of Zaisai?" Wang Xingping asked.

"It's in the bell and drum tower in the city." ”

"How's the guard?"

"The guards are not very strict, in the past, Zaisai's wife can still go to visit, and his two sons also take turns to serve, and Nurhachi is still in charge of the Mongolian tribes after all."

"That's good."

Ding Yi saw that Wang Xingping was asking carefully, and hurriedly asked, "Then when will we start?" ”

"Now."

"Now?" I was a little surprised.

But Wang Xingping did not hesitate, and only said, "Yes." ”

"Don't wait for the men of the Uziyette Division?"

"We want people, and when the men of the Uziyat Department arrive, will they let us take them away?"

He asked again, "What does the master mean that we will do this ourselves?" So what else do you do with the Uziyat Ministry? ”

"To muddy the waters." Wang Xingping spoke with confidence.

At this point, he didn't ask any more questions, after all, he was a member of Yehebu, and he didn't care about the Mongols, but it was certain that this move could add blockage to Houjin, after all, if the person was in the hands of Wang Xingping, most of them would be handed over to the imperial court.

Besides, he is also a member of the Yelang Battalion, so he naturally has to obey orders.

Wang Xingping looked at the corpse of the Houjin patrol that fell to the side, and said softly: "Change your clothes." ”

…………

The drum of the fourth watch has just been beaten, although it is more urgent than the third watch, but it has not made the already silent military city lively, it seems that the battlefield less than a hundred miles away has nothing to do with this place, even the husband seems to have coped with things, just wait for another round to hurry back to the house to sleep. The Zhenglan Banner Bannermen who stayed in the city were all old and weak, and they were nothing more than relying on this relatively complete military city to have nothing to fear.

Now that the army is gathered in Shenyang, the Ming army does not have the courage to come to find trouble at this time, as for the Mongols, this is just the beginning of spring, I am afraid they will not take the initiative to come to the door, at least the matter of attacking the fortified city, those barbarians will not be able to do it, the Mongols use troops for nothing more than money, food and wealth, and they will not do it at a loss.

There is only one Niu Lu's combat power in this Yilu Thousand Households, plus the families of these people and the original Han people in the city, there are still nearly 2,000 people, but they are all unbearable.

At present, the guards at the gate of the city are only three or five Zhenyi and a dozen Han people's Bao Yi Ahha, who are snuggled up by the fire to keep warm, their eyes are full of sleep, and Zhenyi has been sleeping peacefully in the tower.

Outside the city, there was a sudden shouting of horses, and a sleepy-eyed man got up and poked his head out to look down at the city. I only vaguely saw a team of people, probably the sentry of the city, it should be out of the city before the change of guard in the evening, but why did I come back so late today.

The wrapper was still thinking wildly, and the person below was already a little impatient, and the leader shouted loudly in Yi: "Open the door quickly, Yingming Khan has captured Shenyang, and I will give Ezhen an order." ”

The fire on the city is swaying, and the people below are wearing thick jackets and fur hats, and their appearance is not real, but they are undoubtedly true when they hear what they say, and they are also the clothes of the soldiers in this place, but they always feel a little strange when they say this, they are obviously the sentry of the city, how can they say that they are here to give orders.

The baoyi saw that a few Zhenyi were sleeping soundly in the tower, and they were hesitating whether to scream or not, and the noise under the city became louder.

'If you don't open the door yet, you can't freeze us to death?' Can you slaves afford to offend the military situation if you delay the military situation? ’

The wrapper looked at the sky, and the order was correct, so he stopped disturbing Zhenyi, and opened the door with a few others to let people in.

Seeing the people and horses coming in, the wrapper stepped forward to greet him, and a few more were about to close the door, but unexpectedly, a few 'Zhenyi' who came in rushed towards everyone separately as soon as they got off the horse, and only a few breaths were left, and he was the only one left who could stand and breathe.

At this time, they straightened the leather hat on their heads, and the person in the lead was the speed, who else could there be if it wasn't Wang Xingping beside him?

Seeing that a living one was restrained, Wang Xingping immediately arranged for interrogation, and the rest of the people did not need to be instructed, they had already got up automatically, disposing of the corpse, and the city gate of the city gate, and the five people had already heard the words of the cloth and touched the tower on the city, and after easily finishing a few real people, they were stationed in the city, just in case.

Wang Xingping got the news of Zai Sai from the mouth of the wrapper, and took the remaining ten people from the Yelang camp towards the drum tower.

Although the drum tower is in the center of the city, but the guard along the way in the city is not strict, with Wang Xingping and others, it is not difficult to avoid nature, and the surroundings of the drum tower are really as the clothes said, and there is not much defense.

Easily took care of a few guards who were napping in the room at the door, and soon Wang Xingping appeared outside a bedroom on the second floor of the Drum Tower, if not to say that a prisoner was being held here, it was hard to believe, the boiling charcoal stove could make people feel the warmth in the room even through the door.

When Zaisai was 'invited' out of the bed, the middle-aged Nekharka master and a woman were still sleeping soundly, and the two were escorted to the house naked, trembling with great fear of the sudden arrival of these people.

After explaining his intentions quickly, Na Zaisai was a little relieved, but he was still a little hesitant, and his eyes repeatedly roamed over Wang Xingping and others, obviously not trusting.

But Ding Yi didn't say anything, and went directly to Zai Sai's brain, and there was no longer any need to continue to communicate.

The woman was blindfolded and sealed by the five flowers, and before the sealing, she confessed that Zai Sai's youngest son was still in the other room, and he had only come to serve his brother last month, and he was soon brought along, and the woman was considered to have exchanged her life.

When Wang Xingping came to the city gate with the unconscious Zai Sai and his son, he was not noticed by the city.

Fifteen members of the Yelang Battalion, one person and three horsemen, went away.

When it was almost dawn, a group of Houjin men and horses hurried to the outside of the city, and the defenders of the city were like facing a great enemy.

The first person to lead the army shouted under the city: "The wise Khan has broken through the city of Shenyang, and the Zhushen Baoyi of this city will immediately be dispatched to the south with the army." ”

The cheers that should have happened didn't happen, and after waiting for a while, a voice of inquiry came from the city, "Is Hadabel down there?" ”

"Charhi, you minion doesn't even recognize me?" The general who led the troops scolded and admitted his identity.

Niu Lu's true words were full of frustration, and he spoke heavily, "It's strange, something has happened......

"What's going on? Open the door and talk! Urgudai heard the guard's tone be different, and ordered.

After a while, the city opened the door, looking at the more than ten corpses of Zhushen and Baoyi Aha stacked in the city gate, the green tendons on Urgudai's head were exposed, and Niu Lu Ezhen Charxi followed him with a serious expression, for fear that he would be accidentally piggybacked by the sharp blade on Beileye's waist.

"Who did that?"

"It's the Mongols."

"Rubbish!" Urgudai was even more angry, but there was one thing he didn't understand, "Since the other party has taken the door, why did he retreat." ”

"It seems to be for Zaisa."

"Where's the Zasai?"

"Taken away."

"What? You repeat? ”

Char's heart wanted to die, but he still had to answer hard: "Yes...... It was indeed robbed, and those people were left alive, and it was Zaisai who found him in the city, and Zaisa's son was also taken away. ”

When the woman beside Zai Sai was brought to Urgudai, her little face was already pale, and she couldn't help panting, and she answered whatever Urgudai asked, and she didn't dare to hide it in the slightest.

"How many people are on the other side?"

The slave was so frightened that he didn't have time to look at it...... Seven...... There are always seven or eight. When the woman saw that Urgudai was angry, she replied timidly.

Urgudai turned his head and glared at Niu Lu Ezhen again, and these few people actually let people take the door.

Seeing the sweat on his head, Char was busy arguing, "These people killed a team of our sentry and opened the door in disguise. ”

These are also things that were determined after learning about Wang Xingping's clothing from the woman's mouth, and as for the clothed Aha who led the way, he didn't know whether he was dead or fleeing.

Niu Lu'er really thought about the following words, and saw one of Urgudai's personal soldiers hurriedly running over.

"What's the alarm?"

"Master, here comes a team of Mongolian soldiers." The pro-soldier said.

"Which one? How many people came? ”

"Look at the banner is the Uziyat Division, and there should be more than 1,000 people in the battle."

"What is the matter with you?"

"The leader seems to be Bahadar Hambel, who said he was here to pick up the slaughter."

Urgudai snorted angrily when he heard this, and felt funny, these mongrels robbed people in the middle of the night, but now they are coming again, obviously bullying the emptiness in the rear of the Jianzhou Eight Banners to the south, and they want to grab some benefits, but unfortunately they miscalculated, and the news of the destruction of Shenyang City has probably not reached the west.

Thinking of this section, Urgudai hurriedly beckoned to his subordinates: "This group of dogs have entered the things, do such things, and now they are here for recreation, and the little ones are all dressed in armor for Lao Tzu and are ready to fight." ”
