A fast horse suddenly arrived, finally breaking the temporary calm of Xinping Fort, and the horse rider ran in such a way that he could sense with his toes that something must have happened. It was not until the rider ran to the north gate of Xinpingbao that the guards realized that the galloping horse was not the scout horse who went out from Xinpingbao at all, and looked like a businessman.

"Hurry up and open the door, there is an urgent army report to Lord Li, the commander of the three guards!"

There are not many people who know Li Xin in Xinpingbao, and if he can accurately tell the news that the three guards are here, he must be someone who knows the inside story. Previously, the three guards had a strict order, and anyone who entered Xinping Fort must have a warrant issued by the general military office, and those who let people into the city without authorization should be beheaded. The soldiers did not dare to call the shots, so they rushed to ask Li Xin for instructions.

In order to facilitate the nearby command, Li Xin's temporary station was in a small courtyard in the north gate, and the soldiers went down to the city.

Due to the explanation in advance, all the military orders in the city could not be passed on, and the guards pushed open the courtyard gate, only to see Li Xin was circling in the courtyard, and he didn't care about anything else, and directly clasped his fists and saluted.

"Lord Qi Qi Chief Soldier, there are people outside who claim to be holding an urgent military report, asking to see Lord General Soldier!"

Li Xin also felt slightly strange, knowing that there were not many people in Xinpingbao, he could know that he was here, and the information in his hand should also have a certain weight.

"Bring him to me!"

After a short time, the rider who looked like a merchant was taken to Li Xin's small courtyard. He first looked at Li Xin, and then fell to his knees with his head in his arms.

"Lord Commander, go and save my son-in-law, the Mongolian Tartar army has surrounded Yang Hewei, the momentum is terrifying, the General Soldier's Mansion and the Xingdu Division Yamen can't send anyone, now only you can...... For the sake of my son-in-law who once sent iron cannons and gunpowder to the commander-in-chief......"

When he said this, he couldn't speak in a tone or weep silently, how anxious he must be to be in such a hurry.

"Don't worry, you can talk to me slowly."

Hearing that the man said that the Mongol Tatars surrounded Yanghe Acropolis, Li Xin subconsciously thought of the Han Division, and he considered the route of the Han Division's actions as a whole, but he didn't think that they could enter the most heavily guarded side wall and directly attack Yang Hewei, which was not far from Datong Mansion.

Listening to the rider's description did not seem to be a lie, while Li Xin was trying to distinguish the authenticity, the detective horse also brought back information one after another, and indeed a large number of Mongols went south, and also found traces of the Mongol camp at the source of the Yan River.

All kinds of signs show that this Mongol army is the Han Division, and it is not easy for them to break through the Huyu Pass, and they actually attack the Yanghe Acropolis whose city wall is second only to Datong Mansion in scale, which is a bit unbelievable.

After Li Xin confirmed the news, he did not hesitate at all.

"Pass on my generals, and gather all the people in the Zhenzhu Army!"

……

The Mongols were not numerous, and the siege was still strong and cramped, let alone the ants attacking the city. Therefore, even though thousands of Mongol troops were eyeing the city, the garrison defenders in the city were still very relaxed.

The city wall of Yanghe Acropolis is nearly three zhang high, although it is a rammed earth wall, but it is frozen in winter, I am afraid that even the Hongyi cannon may not be able to move this city wall. The Mongolians coveted this Yang and Wei, and they didn't weigh themselves, a few catties and a few taels. Therefore, not only are the heads and brains of Yang and Wei not very nervous, but even these ordinary soldiers feel that this is not a big deal, and the Mongolian Tartars don't look at the fierceness of the call, and they will know that it is powerful when Yang and Wei break a few teeth.

After nightfall, the guards guarding the city gate rotated as usual, and Zheng Sijiu had just left the city, and he heard someone greeting him from a distance. Zheng Sijiu fixed his eyes and saw it, isn't this the merchant Jin Dayou, this person goes back and forth between Datong and Saibei to do trade between the north and the south, and every time he enters and exits the customs, he has to give him some benefits, and the two of them are also familiar with each other like old friends over time.

"Brother Zheng, is this a bad deal? It's not out of the New Year yet, and it doesn't let people stop, come on, I've already scalded the wine, go, warm up! ”

Zheng Sijiu is a coarse man, no one has ever called him Brother Zheng in his life, and the soldiers and neighbors and relatives did not call him Sijiu and call him 61 heads, but it was this kind of precious respect that made him cherish it even more.

What's more, he is a gluttonous person, his family is not rich, and he has only been in the door for more than a year, and his mother-in-law never allows him to touch a drop of wine. The wine and meat pipes across the mountain are enough to eat and drink, which makes him feel that his life is full of satisfaction.

No, this time Jin Dayou was trapped in the city by the Mongol Tatars, and he had invited himself to drink for three consecutive days. Anyway, I have to be on duty in the middle of the night, and I have plenty of time, so I can drink a few cups to warm up as long as I don't get drunk.

"Brother Jin is so polite every time, how can I repay me for being an elder brother?"

Jin Dayou was still smiling as before, and he was eagerly pulling Zheng Sijiu's arm.

"Where did Brother Zheng come from, brothers intersected, what do you talk about in return? Let's go, there is wine today and drunk today! ”

The words were free and heroic, and even Zheng Sijiu's love was infected, "Yes, there is wine today and drunk today!" "Hey, cultured people are just different, even they speak so smoothly.

Although Zheng Sijiu had already made up his mind in advance, he could drink a few glasses of wine and warm his body. But once the wine touched his lips, he couldn't help but get out of control, and drank cup after cup endlessly. It didn't take long for his tongue to harden.

It is said that there is no merit and no luck, Zheng Sijiu took the initiative to ask to do something for Jin Dayou as before, but this time he did not refuse as usual, but sighed.

"Brother is really in trouble."

Zheng Sijiu rolled up his drunken eyelids and looked at Jin Dayou.

"If you have difficulties, don't say it early, say it, as long as my brother can do it, he will do it desperately......"

Zheng Sijiu swore that he was true, but Jin Dayou spread his hands and smiled bitterly: "Only my brother can help me in this matter!" ”

"What's the grind? Say! ”

Kim Dayou seemed to be smiling.

"Then I'll tell you?"

"Let's talk about it!"

"This matter is also very simple, my brother only needs to shake the wheel of the iron gate of the north gate in the middle of the night, which is a great help to my brother!"

Having said this, Zheng Sijiu only felt that there was a cool breeze behind him, and the beads of sweat on his head because of the hot wine suddenly dried up, and he sobered up! What is this to do by twisting the iron gates? It's clearly to make an internal response to the Mongolian Tatars outside the city.

Thinking of this, Zheng Sijiu retreated suddenly, knocked the stool under him to the ground with a bang, and then looked at Jin Dayou as if he had never known this person.

"You, you, you're a Tartar?"

Jin Dayou put away his smile and said evilly:

"Zheng Sijiu, do you think you're not a spy? As long as you don't agree, someone will immediately go to the Weisi Yamen to accuse you of collaborating with the enemy, and then your flower-like mother-in-law, hum! ”

Zheng Sijiu was shocked, is this still the Jin brother he knows? How did you suddenly become so strange, so despicable, so vicious, as if you were a different person...... He fully understands what kind of friends are as light as water, drunk today and drunk today, they are all fucking farting, not fishing for big fish with a long line. In his whole life, he had never been so angry as he was today.

"Jin Da has a spy like you, if I fight with you, I won't live anymore......"

As he spoke, he pounced, Jin Dayou was very flexible, and he dodged Zheng Sijiu's clumsy pounce in a few clicks.

"Zheng Sijiu! You have a bad life, why don't you want to think about the flower-like mother-in-law and the white and chubby son! ”

Jin Dayou spoke sharply, and his facial features were distorted and deformed because he shouted too hard, and under the reflection of the swaying bean oil lamp, it looked extremely terrifying. This sentence was like a steel needle piercing a pig's urine bubble, Zheng Sijiu fell to the ground, yes, his mother-in-law is not even willing to say a hard word on weekdays, and his son who was born less than a year ago has made him from a male wolf who is ready to fight hard to a domestic pig who has no courage and only knows how to shrink.

Seeing Zheng Sijiu's back disappearing into the night, Jin Dayou let out a long sigh, and a soft and boneless body climbed up at some point.

"I'm afraid that the dead ghost will never come back, when will Jin Ye take the slave family......

……

Yang and Wei Pavilion Station, the steward spoke with reproach.

"The second son shoulders a heavy responsibility, and he really shouldn't take the risk lightly. Besides, there are only a few hundred soldiers under the three guards, and they are all crooked melons and cracked dates picked by the general army in the guard, how can he be willing to take risks and come from afar? ”

He has watched his second son grow up since he was a child, and he treats him as if he is his own, and he doesn't speak like a master and servant.

The second son chuckled.

"Uncle Fu is too worried, Yanghe Acropolis is three feet tall, and the soldiers are good and the food is sufficient, and there are only more than 1,000 Mongolian Tatars outside the city, even if he doesn't come, we will be fine. What's more, he will definitely come! ”

A pair of clear eyes are full of determination and expectation.

The old steward stomped his feet anxiously: "I can't talk about you, the second son is not to blame the old man for being rude." As he spoke, he shouted left and right.

"Come on, the second son will go out of the city overnight!"

Immediately, a family member followed, and said one after another: "The second son has offended!" But his men were not idle, and when they came up, they grabbed the sleeves of the long-shirted boys. The young man in the long shirt looked shocked, he obviously didn't expect that Uncle Fu would let himself out of the city in order to care about his own safety, and he would openly break the rules, which is unforgivable in the Huang family. Under the electric thought, he sighed softly:

"Don't do it, Uncle Fu, I'll go with you!"

The old housekeeper's old eyes couldn't help but moisten, and the "second son......" actually cried.

Suddenly, someone on the street outside shouted: "Oh no, no, the Tartar is broken, run for your life!" ”

Immediately afterward, I only heard the complete chaos outside, the sound of chaotic running footsteps, the continuous screams, and the sound of gold and iron clashing in a mess.

Suddenly, the courtyard door opened, and a family member entered the pavilion out of breath, and it was not good to open his mouth.

"The Mongol Tartars have opened the gates, and now the army has entered the city, and the outside is in chaos......"
