Chapter 674: Yellow Clouds Fill the Sky and the City Full of Blood (Part II)

Liu Bingzhong and An Tong were stunned for a moment, and glanced at each other, Liu Bingzhong took the battle report, and said in a deep voice: "Bara's army is pressed from the west and the north, how could it suddenly appear in the south, it could be ・・・・・・"

Liu Bingzhong didn't speak again, and An Tong couldn't help but gasp when he saw the battle report: "The corpse was found in the southeast direction, it is very likely that it belongs to several tribes in the southeast?" ”

With a wry smile, Liu Bingzhong's hand pointed underneath: "What's even worse is here, most of these corpses are red fruits, and they have been buried or deliberately hidden in the shade that is difficult to find." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

An Tong's expression became more and more solemn, he knew what this meant, it was very likely that the enemy in disguise was in the endless endless camp under his nose, and at that moment he grasped the handle of the saber: "Starting from the east and south, nine times out of ten it was done by the Southern Barbarian, once the Southern Barbarian is allowed to fish in troubled waters, then we and Lin Cheng will have to be in chaos!" Without further ado, so-and-so will take someone with him ・・・・・・ now."

"Wait!" Liu Bingzhong hurriedly drank An Tong, "Prime Minister, don't act rashly!" ”

An Tong was stunned for a moment: "Liu Xianggong, when is this, if you can't find out these southern barbarians who have mixed into our army in disguise, the consequences are unpredictable!" ”

"The surname is Liu, what do you mean, don't you want us to find the Southern Barbarian?" A Mongolian commander standing behind An Tong said suspiciously, his eyes also kept looking Liu Bingzhong up and down, obviously not believing Liu Bingzhong at all.

A centurion beside him also followed closely and said: "You are also a southern barbarian, so it is very likely that your heart is towards the southern barbarian, is it that you have already colluded with the southern barbarian to murder us?!" ”

And the rest of the centurions and thousand-neckers who originally walked on the city wall with their personal guards, although they did not speak, but their hands held the hilt of the knife, and their eyes either fell on An Tong or Liu Bingzhong, what they were thinking was self-evident, as long as An Tong gave an order, they would definitely pounce on Liu Bingzhong and press Liu Bingzhong to the ground.

"Timur, who asked you to bring someone up?!" An Tong angrily looked back at the Mongolian commander who spoke first, "What to do this will naturally be discussed with Liu Xianggong, since Liu Xianggong has put forward an opinion, it means that Liu Xianggong also has his own considerations, you are questioning like this, do you want to rebel?!" ”

Although An Tong is still mostly in the stage of "talking on paper" for the arrangement of troops on the battlefield, but because he sits in Helin all the year round to preside over the overall situation, coupled with his young fame and admiration, he has a high prestige in the hearts of these Helin guard generals, at this time, seeing An Tong angrily spoke, several Mongolian generals did not dare to say more, even the most courageous Timur, but also stroked his chest and saluted, and said:

"Prime Minister Qiyu, this surnamed Liu is a Han man after all・・・・・・"

"Stand down!" An Tong flicked his sleeves fiercely and roared angrily, "Liu Xianggong is my Mongolian minister, and he is also a meritorious minister, when the first khan was there, he reused Liu Xianggong, and praised Liu Xianggong's talent and loyalty, even if you can't trust an An Tong's guarantee, do you have to trust the first khan?!" ”

An Tong carried Kublai Khan out at once, and these generals naturally didn't dare to say more, so they saluted and retired.

And Liu Bingzhong, who was standing behind An Tong, looked at the young prime minister who had all his hair, and could only smile bitterly. Although he once doubted the value and significance of his desperate life for the Mongols, he had always treated every colleague with sincerity and never thought of betraying the Mongols, but now before he could take that step, the Mongols could not wait to push him forward.

But fortunately, there is An Tong, the determination and toughness shown by this young prime minister who is only in his twenties at this moment can be said to have given Liu Bingzhong a reassurance. And An Tong also turned around at this time, and happened to take in Liu Bingzhong's wry smile, but he can't take care of these now, it is very likely that the matter of the Southern Barbarian disguised as a Mongolian is definitely not a trivial matter, although An Tong believes in Liu Bingzhong, but he must also Liu Bingzhong give him a reasonable explanation.

And Liu Bingzhong said in a deep voice: "Prime Minister, we now have 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers outside the city, as for how many people are in these tribes, including women, children, the old and weak, even we don't know, but it is estimated that there must be more than fifty or sixty thousand, plus the defenders in the city and the people, that is to say, there are 100,000 people around this and the forest, even if the southern barbarians come, it is only the size of a few small tribes' armies at most, at most it will not exceed 10,000 people, how can it be so easy to find their clues in such chaos?" More importantly, once we go on a large scale, has the prime minister ever thought about what kind of impact it will have? ”

An Tong's face changed, once the search was made, it would inevitably cause panic in Helin City, and as long as those southern barbarians were not stupid, they would definitely spread rumors, and this search might change from searching for the southern barbarian army to looting the money of various tribes, and at that time, the strength of these guards and Lin Cheng that had been gathered so hard would probably really disappear.

An Tong would not be naïve to think that these tribes scattered on the steppe on weekdays had much favor and sense of belonging to the Mongolian headquarters based on Helin City, especially in the later wars, Kublai Khan's raids and oppression of them were also not small, and basically a large number of young Ding Zhuang died in each tribe. These tribes can still come after receiving orders, most of them because they basically belong to the subordinates of a certain son and nephew of Kublai Khan, and they have been branded as Kublai Khan's department, even if they want to run, they don't have to run, once Helin is broken and Kublai Khan's department is destroyed, then there will be no good fruit for them to eat.

No one would be naïve enough to think that the murderous Bada would easily let them go, so it was the best choice to follow Kublai Khan's troops to defend Helin. But once even Kublai Khan's tribe is ready to attack them now, then these tribes will definitely leave Kublai Khan's army and return to the depths of the steppe, and they will not be stupid to wash their necks and wait for death.

So when An Tong was anxious to arrest, Liu Bingzhong did not hesitate to stop him, once the search was carried out, it would definitely cause a more difficult to contain collapse. For the current Kublai Khan, this almost means extinction.

"So what should I do?" An Tong said anxiously, such a dangerous situation is a bit chaotic even for him.

At the critical moment, Liu Bingzhong had already put his previous thoughts and hesitations behind him, and his voice was as calm as possible to avoid passing on his own nervousness to An Tong: "Prime Minister, the number of people outside our city has not increased for a few days, which means that nine out of ten of these southern barbarians have already mixed into the city or even into the city, and it is very likely that they have started recently, and now the sun is setting, and the period from dusk to night is the best ・・・・・・"

Before Liu Bingzhong's words fell, a loud noise suddenly came from the city.

"Boom!" The sound of explosions shook the earth, one after another, several houses in the city that were not tall were directly knocked to the ground by the roaring air waves, the roofs were lifted even more violently, thatch and tiles were scattered in all directions, and the streets, which were originally full of soldiers and civilians who were transporting supplies back and forth, suddenly there was a commotion, screams and roars kept coming, and the billowing smoke soon rose in the place of the explosion, and the flames soared to the sky.

Liu Bingzhong and An Tong looked at the sudden explosion in a daze, while Timur and several other generals who had just been repelled by An Tong ran to the city gate in embarrassment: "Two ministers, the Southern Barbarians, I don't know where the Southern Barbarians were killed!" ”

"Quick, without further ado, close the gates!" Liu Bingzhong Huo Ran stepped forward and grabbed Timur's shirt, his eyes were cracked, "Close the city gate!" ”

Timur was startled by this crazy civil official, and subconsciously looked at An Tong, and An Tong also came back to his senses at this time and shouted: "Close the city gate, listen to Liu Xianggong, close the city gate!" ”

"Close the gates!" Several Mongolian generals didn't care about greeting the soldiers, and they first rushed towards the noose plate that controlled the take-off and landing of the city gate, but fortunately, Helin as the capital of Mongolia, was renovated and strengthened after the ineffective battle in the south, and the city gate was installed in addition to the push-open wooden door on the outside of the iron gate that could control the rise and fall from the city gate, and countless people and soldiers panicked and wanted to rush out of the city, and exclamations and cries continued to erupt under the city gate.

For a while, I didn't know how many people were under the city gate, the people in the city wanted to rush out, and the people outside the city gate were also calling for their children and daughters, trying to find their relatives trapped in the city, as for the Mongolian soldiers at the city gate, although there were a lot of people, but the number of the people was more, and they had already broken up their queue and swept them out of the door.

"Xianggong!" Timur's eyes widened suddenly, he knew very well that if the iron gate fell, he did not know how many people would be crushed to death, and it was very likely that there would be no way to completely fall because someone was crushing underneath. As for closing the wooden door on the outside, it is simply wishful thinking from the current point of view.

"Fall!" An Tong's eyes were red, and his heart was bleeding as he watched the continuous explosions and raging fires in the city.

These southern barbarians, too cunning, why did they let them blend into the city?

And Liu Bingzhong bit his lip and didn't speak, and Lin Shoujun was already small, and there were countless people who entered the city every day to buy and trade, and it was obviously impossible to search everyone clearly, not to mention gunpowder, which can cause explosions, although there were many on the Mongolian side, and even when Genghis Khan went west, it came in handy, but after all, it did not reach the level of installation, so many Mongolian soldiers, especially these newly recruited recruits, could not know gunpowder at all. Even if the gunpowder carried by the Ming army spies was exposed, I am afraid they would not see the clues.

Nanban, these Nanban moves so fast! Liu Bingzhong made a rough calculation, plus the time of hurrying, these guys can basically be said to set off shortly after the end of the Battle of Shanxi, or in other words, after the Battle of Shanxi and the Battle of Youyan, the Ming Dynasty did not intend to give Mongolia a chance to breathe, even if he was reckless and risky, he wanted to eradicate Mongolia.

This is very different from Ye Yingwu's previous tactics of steady and steady and step-by-step, so Liu Bingzhong couldn't help but be taken aback, although he doesn't understand why Daming suddenly changed his strategy now, Liu Bingzhong must also calm down this chaos.

The iron gate fell heavily, accompanied by the screams of unknown people, and the people inside and outside the city who seemed to be separated by this iron gate also broke out with more shocking cries and screams, and one by one their eyes fell on the soldiers guarding the uptown trail, and soon the crowds of people on the street rushed towards the direction of the uptown trail.

"It's not good, there are Southern Barbarians in this crowd." Liu Bingzhong immediately understood that there were certainly not many spies in the southern barbarians who entered the city - after all, no matter how idiotic the Mongol soldiers guarding the city gate were, they were not dry food after all - but they were elite enough, they not only caused riots, but also led the people and the defenders to make things difficult.

It is best to open the gates of the city with the help of these panicked and helpless people!

Hundreds of people rushed towards the upper city trail, and the Mongol soldiers who were responsible for maintaining order were swept away by the crowd, because many of these people were even their relatives, so it was impossible for them to do anything to the people.

"The Southern Barbarian's Jinyi Wei is worthy of his reputation." An Tong also understood at this time, and slammed his hateful fist on the battlements, and there were constant shouts in Mongolian from the crowd, beckoning the panicked people to go up to the city and open the city gate, such a solid language level was difficult to achieve by the Ming soldiers and even elite scouts who fought on the front line, and nine times out of ten it was the people of the Ming Jinyi Guard and the moles bought by the Jinyi Guard.

It seems that this big chaos caused only today may be the hard work of Jinyiwei for several years.

"Xianggong!" Timur and the others' faces changed, there were too many of these people, and it was impossible for these dozens of guards around them to stop them.

"Quick, all the guards protect the prime minister and leave!" Liu Bingzhong Huo Ran pulled out the short sword on his waist - since He Lin was facing the danger of war, Liu Bingzhong has been wearing a sword every day - looked at the people who had rushed to the upper city trail, "I can't care so much now, General Timur, you go and mobilize troops and horses to maintain order in the city, and the rest of the generals will mobilize troops to protect the Khan King City!" ”

"No!" Timur and the others didn't care about doubting Liu Bingzhong at this time, and responded loudly.

And An Tong has not come back to his senses, he was set up by several guards and ran along the city wall to the other side of the city gate, An Tong shouted and cursed, but the guards obviously did not let him go. The rest of the generals also turned and strode away, and the most important thing was no longer to defend the city gates - the troops were scattered outside the city and in the barracks in the city, and the incident was sudden, and it was useless to urgently mobilize the troops, and it was necessary to keep the city safe as soon as possible.

As long as the royal city is still there, this and Lin are still Mongolian!

"Boom!" There was another explosion, and a house under the city gate was torn apart, and the people who rushed along the upper city path rushed to the gate gate as if they were crazy, and for them, the fear caused by the explosion was enough to make them lose their minds.

Liu Bingzhong stretched out his hand to stroke his sword and stood in front of the gate, the wind stirring his clothes. The two guards who were originally following him stood behind Liu Bingzhong hesitantly, Liu Bingzhong seemed to feel their gaze, and waved his hand indifferently, and the two guards turned their heads to follow the figure of Timur and them leaving - for such a Han who didn't know why he was on the Mongolian side, they didn't have much intention of being loyal to him, and it would be good to be able to protect Liu Bingzhong and support him in peacetime.

"Everyone betrayed their relatives and left," Liu Bingzhong couldn't help but sigh softly as he listened to the different footsteps in front of and behind him, "I didn't expect you to fight for so many years and end up like this." I have been brilliant and frustrated, and now I have finally reached the time of death. ”

Not far from the city wall, An Tong turned his head suddenly, looking at the figure in plain clothes, being overwhelmed by the crowd like a tide, and in an instant, this young and famous prime minister of Mongolia, his eyes were involuntarily moist, but his footsteps did not stop after all - Liu Bingzhong sacrificed his life for righteousness, and he still had to complete Liu Bingzhong's unfinished task.

One panicked person after another bumped into Liu Bingzhong and moved the winch, and Liu Bingzhong tried in vain to swing the sword, but found that he couldn't do it at all, with a desire to survive on every face, looking at the winch and looking at him, and behind them, the explosions rose and fell one after another.

Liu Bingzhong chuckled, shook his head in self-defeat, turned the hilt of the sword, and stabbed it into his chest, blood splattered, but no one around cared about him, caring about this madman who stood in front of everyone. The winch sprinkled with Liu Bingzhong's blood twisted the iron gate and slowly rose, and before the people poured out, the high-spirited killing sound sounded outside the city gate!

"The minister has a negative sweat・・・・・・ Liu Bingzhong muttered, slowly kneeling to the ground, and a man finally stopped in front of him.
