The dark clouds were thick, the night was like ink, and Mi Yan took the lead in the darkness, regardless of his own safety, desperately urging the horse to speed up. Even the platoon officers who followed closely behind were holding their breath tightly, and in this situation of not seeing their fingers, they kept urging the horse to speed up, in case any of them tripped over the horse's legs, not to mention that the horse's legs collapsed, even people were in danger of being killed and injured by the huge horse's body.

This is the so-called newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, but when I think of the thousands of unknown cavalry, I am relieved. It seems that this person is full of public heart, which is completely different from the surname Lu, don't look at that guy who talks about serving the country all day long, and he becomes a turtle with a shrunken head at a critical moment.

How did Mi Yan know that the officer who followed him was slandering his good brother, he only hated that he didn't give birth to a pair of wings, so that he could fly to Xuanfu and inform the defenders of such an urgent military situation, so that they could prepare early. But as the war horse galloped, there seemed to be a faint red light in the distance, Mi Yan didn't care at first, thinking that he was hallucinating, but as he got closer and closer to Xuanfu City, the red light in the sky became brighter and closer.

Finally, until Xuanfu City was in the distance, the scene in front of them stunned everyone. Mi Yan stood on the horse in a daze, he was worried, he didn't expect that he would rush to report the news in a hurry, and what he got was this result.

The unidentified cavalry had been left behind by them, and it was clear that there were someone else in the city. Seeing the flames soaring into the sky, the life of the field service team who came with Mi Yan had disappointment and fear in their eyes. In the general's plan, there was no mention that Xuanfu City would be lost, and it would be set on fire to half the sky.

Even the auxiliary platoon officer who had experienced the Second World War looked helpless, and he didn't know whether to advance or retreat.

Mi Yan suddenly thought of Zhang Shi and Lu Jiu again, if Xuanfu City was really out of control, then I am afraid that only these two people would be able to save the situation.

"Yuan, eldest brother Yuan, how should we deal with it?" Zhao Baisheng thought that after the news, he would enter the city to defend the city, relying on Xuanfu to strengthen the city, it would not be a problem to hold on for ten months, and the main force of the army that had set off from Shanxi for such a long time also arrived at Xuanfu early in the morning. But who would have thought that the reality would be like this.

"Let's go! North! Send a letter to Zhang Yingguan! ”

This was indeed a good idea, and everyone from the auxiliaries to the field service team agreed to this mentions, and everyone no longer delayed outside the city of Xuanfu, and rushed to Zhangjiakou Fort in the north without stopping.

Zhangjiakou Fort was the final destination of Zhang Shi's trip, and his task was to block the exit of the border wall closest to Xuanfu. Therefore, as long as Zhangjiakou Fort is blocked, it is equivalent to cutting off the back road of the Mongols.

Li Xin assigned Zhang Shi the task of cutting off the back road, he originally thought that he could finally take the lead, but after receiving this order, his disappointment was overflowing, but the Three Guards have always emphasized unconditional obedience to military orders, even if he has an idea, he has to pinch his nose to carry it out.

Who knew that the journey had just gone, and he met Mi Yan, who had been separated for a long time. What was even more unexpected to him was that this person brought back an even more shocking piece of news.

"The Tartar attack on Xuanfu has succeeded! Please send troops to the Xuanfu as soon as possible and help them! ”

"What? Be clear! ”

Zhang Shi still doesn't believe in his ears, how is this possible? Li Fengxiang has nearly 20,000 Shaanxi soldiers under his command, and the city wall of Xuanfu is more than two zhang, how can it be broken so quietly? Mi Yan recounted what he had seen in detail, and Zhang Shi realized the severity of the problem.

If what Mi Yan said is true, the nearly 20,000 Shaanxi soldiers in Xuanfu City may be more than lucky. And there are hundreds of thousands of stone grain in the city, and what is even worse is that Li Fengxiang, who is the director of Xuanfu military affairs, is also in the city, and the city is full of fire, has he lost control of the army, and now he is more than lucky? All kinds of questions came flooding up almost instantly.

The platoon officer who followed Mi Yan to act together also reported what he saw and speculated to Zhang Shi, thinking that there must be an inner ghost in the city, Li Fengxiang has the power of the army after all, and he doesn't think it will be completely finished, but there is still a cavalry here that colludes with the Tartars, and I am afraid that he has arrived in Xuanfu City at this moment.

After listening to the platoon officer's description, Zhang Shi blurted out: "Horse thief? ”

He had long heard that the horse thieves inside and outside the border wall were rampant, they numbered horses, came and went like the wind, and the court was always unable to suppress it, and they had nothing to do, and they never thought that they were also bribed, it seems that this time the slave chief has done enough work and colluded with all the opposition forces of the court.

However, Zhang Shi soon realized that the biggest threat to Xuanfu City was not the horse thieves, but the 20,000 Mongol Tatar soldiers who were about to arrive in Xuanfu City. As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but secretly hate the emperor, how could he send such a fool as Li Fengxiang to come, the Tartars broke through the customs and entered the country as if they were entering his own backyard, and he didn't even encounter the slightest resistance, if it weren't for the fact that he and Lu Jiutou were under close surveillance, he didn't know what the consequences would be.

Almost at the same time, he seemed to have made up his mind that he would never let the 20,000 Mongols get closer to Xuanfu City, and looking north of Xuanfu City, there was no longer a third army to be found except for his grenadier battalion and Lu Jiu's cavalry battalion.

"Pass the order, go south, enter the first level of combat readiness, and be ready to fight at any time!"

Looking at the perseverance on Zhang Shi's face, Mi Yan was intuitively incredulous. "The battalion officer wants to, but he wants to stop the Mongol Tatars from going south?"

Zhang Shi looked at him sideways and asked, "How, can't you?" ”

It's not that it can't, but it's too unbelievable, although Zhang Shi's grenadier battalion has been expanded from 1,000 to 2,000 now, plus 3,000 auxiliaries, it is only 5,000 people, and the other side is a full 20,000 Tartars, Tartars, not a rabble of thieves. In the past, the imperial court had to fight several times their strength in order to gain an advantage on the battlefield. The number of Zhang Shi is far lower than them, so if you pounce on it like this, is it considered to hit the stone with an egg and a moth to fight the fire?

Miyan also realized that this seemed to be the only thing they could do. Looking at this skinny man who was tortured by the murder of his wife, he suddenly felt that his eyes were hot, and he was born for a lifetime, and the eldest husband should be like the man in front of him, for the sake of the court and the people, he regarded death as home. So Su Rong threw his hand to the ground, and then said: "In this way, Mi Yan will go to find the Lu Yingguan and tell the news together!" ”

Zhang Shi nodded solemnly, told him to take care more, and said no more.

Akzia is very proud, only in the middle of the night, the entire Xuanfu City almost shook his hand, but it is a pity that he can not take the banner of the hundred elite soldiers to kill a happy one, due to the need to lurk, this time he brought basically the Han army banner in the Han army unshaved Han people, although the combat effectiveness is a lot weaker, but it is easy to deal with the Southern Dynasty army when the time is tight. At the beginning, he heard that Li Fengxiang's subordinates were Shaanxi soldiers brought out by Hong Chengchou, and he was nervous for a while, but now it seems that he will be brave enough to say this, and the army has changed Li Fengxiang, who has no master, and even the bandits and bandits are not as good, and they are even like thieves and bandits, and they are so bearish!

He only had to open the city gate, and after losing the middle-level generals, the defeated soldiers did not resist to the death, and flocked to the outside of the city. It's just that they probably never dreamed that there was a cavalry outside the city that was carrying poisonous snakes waiting for them.

Just now, the subordinates reported that they had discovered the whereabouts of Li Fengxiang, the eunuch of the prison army, and at this moment, they were relying on the place where the grain was stored to fight the trapped beasts!

Akzia immediately laughed, how long could the granary hold out, but when he arrived at the place where the grain was stored, he realized that he had thought things simple. Where is this granary, it is clearly an urn city, a city within a city. He immediately cursed in his heart, this is the granary that the bastard repaired.

In fact, this urn city with an inner opening was not originally built to store food, but really wanted to build an urn city, but the governor of Xuanda at that time felt that there were too many gates in a small city and it was not safe, but the urn city had been repaired halfway, and it was too wasteful to demolish it, so it was built to the current state. Later, some people made the safest place in the city a place to store food.

"Zhang Jing, the brothers looted two cannons from the city, just in time to attack the 'city'"

These are two mortars, although they are bulky, but they are safe, and they are the most suitable for attacking fortifications. But Akzia didn't plan to use this thing now, as the saying goes, the cat catches the pillar and the mouse has to play three tricks, he wants to capture the big eunuch Li Fengxiang alive and bring it back to Shengjing.

"Shout to Ye Chong inside, tell them, Xuanfu has been completely controlled by Ye, those who know each other will surrender, and if they don't know each other, they will slaughter the city!"

Li Fengxiang shuddered when he heard it, and his heart was finished, just hide by himself, if he affected the people in the city again, what face would he have to see Long live.

The merchant comforted: "Gong Li doesn't have to worry, the other party is very weak, let's close the iron gate, unless he can get the Hongyi cannon, don't think about breaking the city, we just need to wait for reinforcements." Besides, if they want to control the whole city, those few spies who have mixed in are completely insufficient, but ......" He was halfway through his words, and suddenly looked up at the city wall, "but someone must guard the city wall......

He Youdi immediately found a rope, climbed up along the slope first, and after tying it, he rushed to the people below: "It's strong, come up!" ”

Now everyone in the "urn city" realizes that defending the city wall is the key, otherwise let the fine workers occupy the city wall and be condescending, they are really the turtles in the "urn"!

Sure enough, the Tartars also thought of this, and as soon as they climbed the city wall, they encountered the first wave of attacks, and unexpectedly, the number of opponents was far beyond imagination, and they were surging along the narrow city road like a sea tide.
