The rooster crowed five watches, and the streets of Kaifeng Mansion were empty, and there was no one on it.

The Zhou Palace, which was large enough to easily accommodate all the horses in a gust of wind, did not have much impact on the residents of the city this sudden fall. It is not like the outside world rumors, the thieves killed people when they saw them, and they did not loot money, to be honest, the property of the Zhou palace and the yamen alone, more than 100,000 people could not move it all in a gust of wind.

The sky is getting brighter, and the newborn morning sun is warm but not scorching, and you can even look directly at it. He Tianyang, the little leader guarding Dongcheng tonight, opened his sleepy eyes, yawned, and looked at the soldiers around him who were still sleeping.

He Tianyang kicked one by one, kicking and shouting: "Get up, get up, just like you bears, all of them are too lazy to be like fucking pigs, you don't know that there is an enemy coming." ”

Xiaodong is a new member of Fei County, and before he engaged in the high-level profession of rebellion, he was an authentic farmer. Assigned to the old bandit He Tianyang's men, the city tower kept vigil and slept soundly. was kicked by He Tianyang, and in a daze, he only heard "the enemy is coming", and Xiaodong's thin body jumped up like a monkey, and while jumping, he shouted: "Where is the enemy, where is the enemy?" ”

He Tianyang and the old oilmen laughed, pointed to the city and said, "Look, there it is." ”

The smile slowly solidified on He Tianyang's face, then gradually disappeared, and finally turned to fear. Everyone felt that his face was unusual, and when they walked to the edge of the city, they followed his gesture and looked at him, and they were all dumbfounded.

"Black clouds crush the city and want to destroy it", the old ladies can't recite poetry, but this feeling is the same, the boundless army surrounds the city gate they guard.

An old bandit who was on the older side was the first to react, jumping to his feet and shouting, "Go and tell Yue Da to be in charge!" ”

He Tianyang was stunned at this time, ran down the city tower with a smoke, and went straight to Yue Chenfeng's residence.

While shouting, while coming to the courtyard, He Tianyang shouted anxiously: "Big brother, where is the big brother?" Just passing by a little minion, He Tianyang grabbed him and asked, "Where did the eldest brother go?" ”

"Leader He, the west city, the south city, and the north city are all surrounded by officials and soldiers, and Yue Shuai has already boarded the city gate to check the enemy's situation."

"What?" He Tianyang was shocked, he thought that only his Dongcheng was besieged, but he didn't expect that Kaifeng Mansion had been surrounded by groups, and he was the last one to know.

He Tianyang hurried back to Dongcheng and beckoned his subordinates to cheer up and prepare to meet the enemy. Although the palms and brains were full of cold sweat, so many successive victories gave them more or less a trace of self-confidence in facing officers and soldiers.

Shen Muhong's face was pale, looking at the black and oppressive officers and soldiers under the city, they were each in a phalanx, with clear banners and different armor, obviously defenders transferred from different places. Fortunately, there are many conflicts in their actions, and in some places there are many soldiers, while in others there are few soldiers, and it seems that there is no strong commander and unified command.

Yue Chenfeng Wang Jun and his subordinate leaders, their faces were red, and they were all a little weak-hearted, Mr. Shen once again proved that he was right, but because of his insatiable greed, he missed the opportunity to abandon the city.

Fortunately, Shen Muhong is extremely pragmatic, since it is a foregone conclusion, why bother to pursue right and wrong, for him, the most important thing at the moment is how to break the siege.

"If you are surrounded here by officers and soldiers, the best result is to defend the city, and you will only lose both. The imperial court tree has big roots and deep roots, they can afford it, we can't afford it, we must break through the siege. ”

Wei Qun didn't care, and said: "What are you afraid of, it's a big deal to open the city gate, rush out and fight with them, divide the ranks, the officers and the army, we don't know how many we have encountered along the way, haven't we all cleaned up." ”

Shen Muhong looked at him and said, "Wei Qun, each of your soldiers has more than a dozen catties of property in their arms, as well as those who carry money boxes and rice bags, how can they rush out?" ”

Wei Qun was a little displeased when he heard him call himself by his name, he regarded himself as the second leader of the old Yue family, except for Yue Chenfeng, he had already listed himself as the second person, and asked in a deep voice: "Then what do you mean?" ”

"Let everyone put down their money, gold and silver, and rush out to break through lightly, this is our only way to survive."

"What?"

"No, absolutely not!"

"How can we leave the money in hand, it's a big deal that we will defend this Kaifeng city."

"Big brother, you speak, this old poor sour let us drop the gold and silver in our hands."

...

"Shut up! You group of inferior goods, Mr. Shen has already asked you to abandon the city, you don't listen to it one by one, and Lao Tzu is not happy, you look at you, you used to be well-known men, how could you come across such a little money, you can't walk the fucking way, listen to Mr. Shen, give me shirtless, rush out. ”

Yue Chenfeng easily did not get angry, but the more such a person, the more terrifying it was to start a fire. None of the big and small leaders dared to speak, only Wang Jun, who was a brother in life and death with him, and had a relationship with his peers before, not his subordinates. Wang Jun is also a light and righteous person, and persuaded: "Brothers, money is dead, people are alive, surrounded here, no matter how much money you have, you can't spend it, what's the difference with stones, just listen to the eldest brother and Mr. Shen." ”

Shen Muhong's expression eased, and he patiently persuaded: "Leaders, you look at the officers and soldiers under the city, each fighting for itself, and it is extremely unclear. This shows that they have not yet come with a general who can unify the command, and this is our best and last chance. If we are delaying, and when the imperial court appoints a person with a high enough official position to command all the soldiers and horses, it will be several times more difficult for us to leave. ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a commotion under the city, and dozens of cavalrymen carrying small flags shuttled through various formations, conveying orders and mobilizing the defense area.

The officers and troops, who had been chaotic, moved in an orderly manner, and after a while, a tight encirclement had been formed.

Zhu Yousong was in the big tent, calm and relaxed, sitting in the first place, without saying a word. It's not that he pretends to be advanced and pretends, but he really doesn't know anything. The ancients marched and fought wars, and they had the wisdom of the ancients, and a modern college student could lead thousands of troops and horses to be invincible when he traveled back, which was just a fantasy.

Zhao Hong was personally selected by Wanli, the bitter cold land of Liaodong, the most dazzling new star. It was for his fat son, but who knew that it would be used by a fake grandson. Looking at the familiar camp tent and map, Rao is iron-like man Zhao Hong, his eyes are also a little moist, this feeling is really a long time coming.

Zhang Hao listened attentively to Zhao Hong's analysis of the battle situation, issued general orders, dispatched military horses, and studied greedily, just like following Shen Muhong and learning how to govern Ying'en Temple, he has always been a good student.

After everything was arranged, Zhu Yousong stood up and said excitedly: "Let's go, go to the front line and have a look." ”

As soon as he got out of the camp, his own soldiers brought three war horses, and Zhu Yousong put on his armor and took the two of them to Xicheng.

On the upper floor of the west city of Kaifeng Mansion, Shen Muhong, Yue Chenfeng, and Yue Yingying were condescending, looking at the Ming army that could not see the edge, preparing for a bloody battle.

Under the city tower, by the moat, a few stout water willows, waving young shoots and new branches, swaying with the wind at an untimely time.
