Cining Palace.

Emperor Zhu Yunwen and the Empress Dowager Lu sat opposite each other, and the eunuchs and palace maids had been driven out.

Zhu Yunwen looked embarrassed, while Lu Shi gasped, as if he had just been angry.

Long.

Lu Shi sighed and said, "Is Mobei really that important?" Is it worth getting your biological siblings to eat sand there? ”

“......”

Listening to her mother's helpless and slightly sad voice, Zhu Yunwen almost blurted out and agreed to the Queen Mother's request.

However, he can't.

He is the emperor of the empire and must be responsible for the entire empire.

"Queen Mother, come and see!"

Zhu Yunwen took out a silk silk from his arms, unfolded it and spread it on the table, it turned out to be the map of the Ming Dynasty, looking at the Queen Mother's somewhat confused eyes, Zhu Yunwen got up and walked to the Queen Mother's side, pointed with his hand, and said softly: "This is the Xing'an Mountains, the east is the three capitals in the northeast, and the west is the Mobei grassland." ”

"If I can't control Mobei in the Ming Dynasty, it will be difficult to keep Suiyuan and Rehe in Monan."

"If Suiyuan is not defended, then the enemy army can enter and exit the Hetao and Ganshan at will, the northwest of the Ming Dynasty will never be peaceful, and the Western Regions will inevitably be gained and lost, and Zhang Ren was willing to build three surrendered cities in the Hetao in the Tang Dynasty, so as to prevent the Turkic Mosi Khan from going south to Ganshan;"

"If Rehe is not defended, then the north of the Great Wall will become a paradise for the Mongols, and I will have to be heavily defended by the Ming Dynasty in Datong, Yehuling and Yanshan on the front line of the Great Wall in Shanxi, because if the Great Wall is not defended, the Mongols will drive straight in, and Shanxi and Hebei will inevitably be devastated, and even fall into the hands of the enemy."

"If Rehe is lost, then the connection between Liaodong and the interior of the Ming Dynasty will be interrupted, and Liaodong will be isolated and difficult to survive."

"If Liaodong is not defended, North Korea will lose; If North Korea loses, it will be isolated in the overseas Haidong, and it will not be able to exist alone. ”

"If Haidong is lost, the Japanese will inevitably rise again, and then attack our southeast coast, and the southeast provinces are the heavy tax places of our dynasty, once there is a change, then my Ming country is in danger!"

"Queen Mother, what I said...... Does that make sense? ”

After saying these words, Zhu Yunwen felt relieved, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but found that the Queen Mother Lu was looking at him in shock, looking incredible.

"What's wrong?"

Lu Shi was stunned for a moment, she didn't know what to say, in fact, what Zhu Yunwen said just now, she only knew a little bit about it, but she rarely saw her son so high-spirited, could it be that what her son said was right? Are you taking care of it too much?

Lu Shi was a little unsure.

Since I don't understand, I won't ask.

Lu Shi made up his mind and said the final bottom line with some twists: "No matter what, they have to come back to see the mourning family once a year." ”

Once?

Zhu Yunwen nodded hurriedly: "No problem!" No problem! When the railroad is repaired, it will be much easier for them to come back! ”

"Well, the Emperor go and get busy! The mourning family is going to rest! ”

"Yes!"

......

Mobei, and Lin.

"Listen to the Ming army at the head of the city, you have been surrounded, you have no reinforcements, Gulhan has the virtue of a good life, as long as you surrender, you will all be able to live, do you hear?"

Listening to the Chinese pronunciation of a word outside the city, Geng Xuan and Tie Xuan looked at each other, did they hallucinate? The Mongols actually came to persuade them to surrender? Eating too much? Or are you drunk? Don't know what your last name is?

"Kill him!"

"Yes!"

Kuang Yi waved his hand, several Ming soldiers at the head of the city pulled the trigger, and at the sound of gunfire, the Mongolian cavalry persuaded to surrender more than 50 meters away fell to the ground, and the Mongolians who were cheering suddenly fell into silence as if their throats were choked, and what they did was the cheers that shook the sky at the head of the city.

"This-"

Chiktu frowned and glanced back at Gerben: "The firearms of the Ming army are very sharp!" ”

"yes,"

Gerben nodded: "It seems that the Great Khan is still wise!" ”

"Well, let's go!"

Gerben gave the order, and as the flag waved, the cavalry in the front row got out of the way, and the group of Lehrer began to move forward.

"Shoot!"

"Shoot! Shoot! ”

Gunshots rang out one after another from the top of the city, and wisps of black smoke rushed into the sky.

The Mongols paid their blood.

Braving the hail of bullets, the driver rushed towards the city of Helin, and behind him were wandering cavalrymen, all of whom were the best archers, trying to suppress the firepower of the Ming army at the head of the city.

The Ming army's firearms had a much longer range than bows and arrows, but they also had a weakness, that is, the firing speed was not as fast as that of bows and arrows - the Ming army still used the front-loading technique, which was very slow to reload, and it took about two minutes to fire a bullet, while good archers fired much faster than that.

Judging from the scene, Chektu made a quiet deployment for the siege.

The group of Lele chariots was about fifty in groups, and they rushed to the predetermined place, some rushed to the city gate, and the Lele chariots were piled up under the city gate, and then the Mongols set it on fire, and the city gate immediately ignited a sky-high fire; Some rushed to the city wall, and the mounds of earth on the carts were unloaded and piled up together, as if to build an earthen platform to facilitate the Mongol army to attack the city.

......

"Quick! Fast! cough cough cough ...... Throw the dynamite pack! ”

At the head of the south gate, a hundred households of the Ming army shouted loudly, the fire had burned, and the city gate was in danger.

"Boom!"

"Boom! Rumble! ”

The Ming army, which had been prepared for a long time, ignited the explosives bag, and then threw it down the city, and the city wall shook a few times with the sound of the explosion, and the Lele car in the fire was blown to pieces and disintegrated, and the fire was reduced, but there were still Lele cars that kept joining, and the neighing and screaming of horses were endless.

"Are these people crazy?"

"Are they dying?"

"What the hell is going on?"

Geng Xuantie blushed and looked at Chen Weiben beside him: "What else do you have to hide from Ben Hou?" ”

"Nope! This...... True...... Without! ”

Chen Weiben is also a little strange, did these Mongolians take the wrong medicine? So fierce? If that's the case, why did you surrender in the first place? Could it be that they are dead soldiers?

Impossible! There can't be so many dead soldiers!

"That's the old man - women and children?"

At this moment, the second group of Boller's chariots rushed up, most of them were old men, women and children, and Geng Xuan could even see some cavalry smiling and cutting off the heads of those old men, women and children who were struggling and begging for mercy - this was simply a beast!

Geng Xuan was furious, but there was nothing he could do.

The sacrifice of the Mongols gave great pressure to the defenders of Helin, and the city of Lin after many battles, the city wall was damaged in many places, some places were just repaired with wood, these places are very afraid of fire attack - so in less than a day, the south gate was burned open, the west and east city walls were burned out of a gap in two places, the Mongolian cavalry even broke into the city, in the street battles the firearms of the Ming army exerted the greatest power, most of the Mongols who broke into the city were killed, and a small number were captured.

After nightfall, after interrogation, Geng Xuan learned why these Mongols were so willing to die.

They are all forced to be helpless.

Under the coercion of the Chiktu, their tribal leaders drew lots to determine the order of sorties.

Today is the day of the siege of the city with Lin Zuowei.

First of all, the strong men played, and the Chiktu told them that their families would only survive if they succeeded in the siege, and if they failed to attack the city, then their families would follow in their footsteps and participate in the siege.

This is why the first wave of Mongols forgot to die, and the second wave was mostly old, weak, women and children.

As for asking them why they betrayed, their reasons made Geng Xuan cry and laugh.

They all thought that Geng Xuan was a son-in-law, extremely incompetent, and was sent by the Ming Emperor to gild, and Chiktu told them that it would be very easy to conquer Helin City, and Cheketu also told them that he didn't want to turn his face with Daming, but just wanted to capture Geng Xuan as a hostage and force Emperor Ming to withdraw his troops from Mobei.

It is said that the emperor loved his sister very much, including Geng Xuan, of course.

In addition, after Ping'an's looting, their grain reserves were greatly reduced, and the city was closed to the market, they could not trade, they thought that the Ming army was deliberate, and wanted to starve them to death, in that case, why not do it?

As for what Geng Xuan said about sending people to Zhuwei every ten days and a half to trade, they didn't believe it at all.

"What is this?"

Geng Xuan didn't know what to say!

......

That night, and Lin Cheng pillowed and waited, all four gates were blocked by sand and gravel, the Ming army demolished the house all night, whether it was the temple in the Huihui District, or the palace of the Great Khan in the past, all in the ranks of demolition, and the demolished boulders were all used to fill the gap to prevent the Mongol army from attacking with fire again.

In the early morning of the next day, Kuang Yi slapped Geng Xuan and Tie Xuan on the chest, and the fire attack was no longer terrible, and the Mongols could only choose to climb the wall, so there was nothing to fear.

Geng Xuan and Tie Xuan laughed!
