In the past few days, Miao Yuan and the others didn't dare to fall asleep at all, and they were uneasy in their hearts, for fear that they would be rushed into the mansion and killed by the people who hated them.

In order to guard against this, Miao Yuan and several other families arranged a large number of household servants in the mansion to patrol.

The sound of fighting at the north city gate came, and Miao Yuan woke up as soon as possible.

In the hall, more than a dozen Miao family cores gathered together, and many people had a look of panic on their faces.

A clan elder pointed at Miao Yuan and said angrily: "Miao Yuan, it's all you, if it weren't for the fact that you had to choose to join the Tatars, why would my Miao family be where it is today." ”

is not just a clan elder, it can be said that most of the dozen or so people present are accusing Miao Yuan.

Miao Yuan frowned, glanced at these clan elders, and snorted coldly: "Several clan elders, don't forget, you also voted for it at the beginning, but now you are here to blame me, isn't it a little unreasonable." ”

Several clan elders sneered: "Don't blame you, who else can blame, if it weren't for you, my Miao family would still be a good family at this time, in this Taiyuan City, who can take us?" ”

"It's all you, if you don't take refuge in the Tatars, we don't have to worry so much now. Once the imperial court enters the city, I'm afraid that nothing good will end......"

A clan elder frowned, and shouted in a deep voice: "Enough, what's the use of talking about this at this time, what choice the head of the family made at the beginning, we all agree, it makes no sense to talk about this at this time, it is better to think about it at this time, and then how should our Miao family deal with it." ”

A clan elder said with some expectations: "You say, if we go and seize the city gate, dedicate it to the imperial army, and welcome the imperial army into the city......

Miao Yuan sneered and said: "Three sides and two knives, there will be no good end for the three and four gangsters, and then our Miao family will only die even worse, and there will be no chance of survival." ”

The clan elder couldn't help but be annoyed and said angrily: "Okay, okay, as the head of the family, then you should come up with a solution!" ”

Miao Yuan looked at the elders present lightly and said slowly: "Everyone, if we want to survive, there is only one way to go, and that is to follow the Tatars closely. ”

"What, to follow the Tatars? The Tatars don't treat us as human beings at all, and if you follow the Tatars, will there be any good results? ”

Miao Yuan snorted coldly: "Follow the Tatars, at least we still have a chance of life, but if even the Tatars abandon us, then we will only have a dead end." ”

Miao Yuan ruthlessly broke the illusion in his heart, and all the clan elders fell silent, and the hall was quiet, and everyone had a solemn face.

This is related to the future of their Miao clan, if they are not careful, their Miao clan may be destroyed in their hands for hundreds of years.

Miao Yuan's gaze swept over the crowd, and said slowly: "Let's vote, if you oppose the Tatars, please stand up." ”

Everyone is quiet, you look at me, I look at you, naturally no one stands up.

Fools know that at this time, they actually have no other choice but to go, and that is to hug the Tatars tightly.

Seeing that no one stood up to object, Miao Yuan took a deep breath and said, "Okay, since that's the case, then it's decided, everyone immediately go down and clean up, get ready, and go out of the city with the Tatars at any time." ”

A clan elder smiled bitterly: "The Tatars are too careless, it's only been one night's work, is Taiyuan City about to be lost?" ”

Not only the Miao family, but also several families such as the Lu family have actually made a choice at this time, as a family that has been inherited for hundreds of years, it has its own way of survival.

It can be said that all the families made almost the same choice, after all, they did not have many choices, either to die or to follow the Tatars.

I don't know how many pairs of eyes were secretly staring at the battle at the city gate, and only the Tatars and the imperial soldiers and horses could distinguish the victory and defeat.

In fact, for the final result, many people have a number in their hearts, and the soldiers and horses of the imperial court have made such a big move, if it is said that this can't break the city, it is too disappointing.

Moreover, there were not many Tatars in the city, and the Tatars themselves were not good at defending the city, so almost everyone was not optimistic that the Tatars could hold the city of Taiyuan.

Not long after, the news that Hu Limu abandoned the north gate and went straight to the south gate came, and several families led by the Miao family and the Lu family immediately ran to the south gate.

These families had long been prepared, and it can be said that only the core personnel, under the protection of loyal servants in the family, tried to keep up with the ranks of the Tatars.

The Tatars saw a group of men and horses appear on the street from a distance, and almost instinctively ordered to rush over, but fortunately Hu Limu recognized Miao Yuan and the others who were the leader.

Seeing that Miao Yuan and the others were in a black area, Hu Limu frowned, and drove forward and shouted at Miao Yuan and the others: "Miao Yuan, what are you doing, don't hurry up and get out of the way of General Ben, don't delay General Ben out of the city." ”

Miao Yuan bowed deeply to Hu Limu and said, "General, please take us with you, we are willing to leave with the general." ”

"Hmm!"

Hu Limu looked at Miao Yuan and the others with a scrutinizing gaze, and at this time Miao Yuan took a few steps forward, stuffed a gift slip into Hu Limu's hand and said with a smile: "General, this is a little caution from our family, and please be able to accept it with a smile!" ”

By the light of the torch, Hu Limu glanced at it, and suddenly his breath couldn't help but tighten, and there were 1,000 taels of gold, 50,000 taels of silver, and 1,000 taels of silk and satin......

It can be said that the things on that gift list are worth no less than hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and even Hu Limu can't help but be moved.

Miao Yuan had been paying attention to the change in Hu Limu's expression, and when he saw the heartbeat in Hu Limu's eyes, he saluted Hu Limu and said, "We are loyal to the Tatars, and I ask the general to take me with you." ”

Hu Limu glanced at Miao Yuan and the others, his heart moved, and he laughed and said: "That's it, you are loyal to my Tatars, if this general doesn't bring you, won't he live up to your loyalty?" ”

Saying that, Hu Limu waved his big hand and said, "You can follow." ”

Everyone had always been worried that Hu Limu would not agree to them, and when they heard Hu Limu say this, their faces couldn't help but show surprise.

"Thank you, General, thank you, General."

Several families of hundreds, including nearly five hundred of the elite families, followed the Tatars straight to the south gate.

A piece of the black hole at the south gate, at this time, hundreds of Tatar soldiers stationed at the south gate greeted Hu Limu and others as soon as they saw them.

Hu Limu glanced at the general guarding the city and said, "Is there any movement outside the city?" ”

The general guarding the city shook his head slightly and said, "Patriarch, there has been no movement outside the city, but Patriarch, do we really want to abandon Taiyuan City like this?" You must know that the terrain of Taiyuan City is steep, directly guarding the road of His Highness's northern retreat, once Taiyuan City is lost, His Royal Highness's army is worried about losing the Central Plains! ”

The Tatars are not fools, and with such a clear situation, it is natural to know what the outcome will be once Taiyuan City is lost.

Hu Limu laughed and said with a little disdain: "Is it just Mingren?" Don't you think that just with the rabble of the Ming people, they also want to besiege His Highness's army in the Central Plains? ”

It's no wonder that Hu Limu looks down on the Ming army so much, but in this period, the Ming army has already been rotten, and there are very few real combatable soldiers, that is, there are still a little elite in the border towns.

Even if it is the army of the border town, the Tatars don't pay much attention to it, how can they look at the other armies of the Ming Dynasty.

Looking at the black cave gate, Hu Limu couldn't help but think of the soldiers who had died in vain at the north gate before, took a deep breath, and his eyes fell on Miao Yuan and the others.

I only heard Hu Limu say to Miao Yuan: "Miao family master, there is something to bother you." ”

I don't know why, looking at Hu Limu, Miao Yuan faintly felt a little bad in his heart, as if Hu Limu had bad intentions.

But no matter what, Miao Yuan could only salute Hu Limu and said: "I don't know what the general commands, as long as we can do it, we will definitely live up to the general." ”

Hu Limu pointed to the gate of the city and said: "You are loyal to my Tatars, this time out of the city, you will go out of the city first, and this general will lead the army behind the palace, in case the Ming soldiers and horses are killed." ”

Chicheng of this faction said this, with a posture of thinking about Miao Yuan and the others, after all, it seems that Hu Limu asked Miao Yuan and them to go out of the city first, and he was the queen of the palace, no matter how you look at it, there is no problem with this.

But after Miao Yuan and the others heard this, their expressions became a little ugly.

What happened to the Tatars at the north gate, Miao Yuan and others already knew at this time, the imperial court soldiers and horses directly blocked the city gate, and even the Tatars could not rush out, so they suffered heavy casualties, although it was said that it was the north gate, but no one outside the south gate knew whether there was an ambush by the imperial army.

If there is no ambush, then it is okay, everyone can escape safely, but if there is an ambush by the imperial army outside the north gate, once they go out of the city, I am afraid that they will be attacked by the army of the imperial ambush in an instant.

The first person to go out is afraid that he will die very miserably.

Where is Hulimu here to let them go out of the city first for their consideration, it is clear that they are used as a stepping stone, let them go out of the city, and see if there is an ambush by the imperial army.

Taking a deep breath, Miao Yuan felt Hu Limu's gaze staring at him like that, he didn't know how Hu Limu would react if he didn't agree, whether he would turn his face on the spot, and then force them out of the city, anyway, Miao Yuan didn't dare to gamble.

With a wry smile in his heart, Miao Yuan looked at the head of the Lu family and the others, and slowly saluted Hu Limu and said, "We deeply feel the great grace of the general, and we are willing to take the first step." ”

Hearing this, Hu Limu laughed and said, "This is very good, you are so sincere and loyal to my Tatars, how can this general let you be injured." ”

Soon the city gate slowly opened, and Miao Yuan and others were seen slowly leaving the city with their servants as the forwards.

Walking through the city gate cave of the black hole, Miao Yuan and the others couldn't help but lift their hearts.

If there is really a large army outside the city, I am afraid that the moment they leave the city, they will be greeted by a rain of arrows, and I don't know how many people will be able to survive at that time.

The head of the Lu family cursed in a low voice: "Damn Tatars, if there is another chance, the old man will definitely not choose to help the Tatars!" ”

"the Tatars, they don't want to die!"

Hu Limu rode on a tall horse, watching Miao Yuan and the others towards the city gate from a distance, his eyes flashing with essence.

As long as Miao Yuan and the others did not encounter an ambush, then he would lead the army out of the city as soon as possible, and if Miao Yuan and the others were ambushed, then he would find other ways to get out of the city.

Not far from the city gate, in fact, when the Tatars on the city wall descended the city wall, Sun Qiu and the others had already noticed it.

Sun Qiu was very excited in his heart, and faintly felt that he might have luck this time, and the Tatar commander Hulimu was very likely to escape from the south gate.

If he can capture Hu Limu, he will have to see what Xu Tianzuo's expression will be when the time comes.

Sun Qiu whispered to the soldiers who were ambushed around: "It's all for me to stabilize, no one is allowed to do anything without General Ben's order." ”

Squeak, the city gate opened, and gradually a team of people came out, who were not the servants of Miao Yuan and others.

Among these servants, there were not many people who could identify Hu Limu's intentions, but all the servants who realized that it was not safe outside the city gate deliberately walked a few steps behind and walked with Miao Yuan and the others.

Some of the servants were excited to leave the city, and their steps were not slow at all.

The moment these servants walked out of the city gate, a broken cry sounded: "Everyone, shoot me!" ”

Soon several bonfires were lit and the gates were illuminated.

After a rain of arrows, most of the hundreds of servants who had been out of the city were shot almost instantly, some squatting in the corners with their heads in their hands and shivering, and some fled back to the city.

Miao Yuan and the others didn't leave the city at all, they only heard a miserable howl from the front, and Miao Yuan and the others immediately realized that there were imperial soldiers and horses in ambush outside the city gate.

The despair in their hearts was also a little lucky, fortunately they carefully let their servants go ahead, otherwise they might have been nailed to the ground by the rain of arrows and wailed.

Hu Limu had been paying attention to the movements outside the city, and when the sound of shouting and the rain of arrows came from outside the city, Hu Limu couldn't help but curse angrily.

Several generals looked at Hu Limu and said, "General, it is obvious that there is an ambush of the Ming army outside the city gate, what should we do next?" ”

The Ming army behind him has already entered the city, but I am afraid that it will be killed behind them in a few moments, and in front of this, outside the city gate is blocked by the imperial court soldiers and horses, they are blocked in Taiyuan City, and it is difficult to fly.
