Qi Hu slowly shook his head and said, "I have already sent someone to sneak into the city to contact the people of Jinyiwei, but unfortunately there is no response yet!" ”

Jinyiwei is all over the world, when it comes to intelligence gathering capabilities, Dongchang is far from Jinyiwei, although Taiyuan City has fallen, but with the ability of Jinyiwei, maybe the Jinyiwei on the surface may be killed by the Tatars, but the Jinyiwei spies in the secret may not be killed by the Tatars.

Even if there were Jinyi guards who defected to the Tatars, it would be impossible for all the Jinyi guards to be exposed.

You must know that Jinyiwei has its own set of effective means to prevent this, between a place, Jinyiwei has light and dark, even the local Jinyiwei can't know who Jinyiwei's secret agent is.

Although Chu Yi said that he was not in charge of the Jinyi Guard, with Chu Yi's current power, the Jinyi Guard commanded Qian Ning to worship under Chu Yi honestly, and he couldn't be more cooperative with Chu Yi's request.

Knowing themselves and knowing that they have won a hundred battles, now they are almost more than thirty miles away from Taiyuan City, and if they forcibly march, it will take more than half a day, if they don't even know what the situation is in Taiyuan City, they go rashly, no one knows what the result will be.

There is still a certainty of breaking the city, and the key thing Chu Yi wants is to take Taiyuan City in one fell swoop, otherwise, if it is delayed for a few days, who knows if Balsborough has already returned to the army.

If it was said that because he couldn't take Taiyuan City for a while, it affected his plan to close the door and fight the dogs, wouldn't it be a failure, and the horses he brought with him might be killed and injured in the counterattack of the Balsborough army.

Xu Tianzuo looked at Chu Yi and said, "Grand Administrator, the last general is willing to lead troops to attack Taiyuan City at night!" ”

Chu Yi glanced at Xu Tianzuo lightly and said, "Wait and see!" ”

There is still plenty of time, so Chu Yi is not too anxious, he is waiting for Jinyiwei to spy at the moment, with his temperament, he has never done anything that he is not sure of, as long as the real situation of Taiyuan City is clarified, he can make all kinds of arrangements safely.

The army rested, and Xu Tianzuo, Sun Qiu and others scratched their ears and cheeks one by one in this big tent, looking impatient.

On the other hand, Chu Yi sat there, holding a volume of classics in his hand, reading it quite seriously, without the slightest hint of impetuousness.

Almost an hour or so, Qi Hu came with a sturdy man quickly, and said with a little joy on his face: "Boss, here, Taiyuan City Jinyi Guard's spy Du Yong asks to see!" ”

Chu Yi put down the scroll in his hand and said slowly: "Pass him in!" ”

I saw a man walk in, at first glance, this person was a strong farmer, with rough skin, honest and honest, except for the body being stronger, there was no trace of brocade guard posture at all.

However, this person entered the big tent and bowed respectfully to the ground: "Taiyuan City, Jinyi Wei spies on Du Yong, meet the chief manager!" ”

Chu Yi bowed his head slightly and said, "Du Yong, this governor and ask you, what is the situation in Taiyuan City?" ”

Du Yong took a deep breath and slowly explained what had happened in Taiyuan City in the past few days. I have to say that as a Jinyiwei agent, Du Yong's ability to control intelligence is much stronger than that of ordinary people.

From Du Yong's mouth, everyone could clearly understand what the situation was in Taiyuan City, which was several times more detailed than the information obtained from the mouths of those Tatar people.

With a bang, I saw Xu Tianzuo slap on the table, and his face was full of anger and said: "Damn, really hateful, Taiyuan Miao, Lu and other family heads actually took refuge in the Tatars, not only to open the city gate to lure the Tatars into the city, but also to help the abuse, should be killed, really should be killed!" ”

When Du Yong talked about the waves set off by the Miao family and the Lu family in the city, Xu Tianzuo and other generals who were sitting on the side were furious one by one, and Xu Tianzuo couldn't help but scold.

Chu Yi sat there with a calm expression, but one hand was gently rubbing the jade wrench on his fingers.

Qi Hu, who was standing on the side, noticed Chu Yi's actions, and his heart was awe-inspiring, over the years of following Chu Yi, Qi Hu knew a lot about some of Chu Yi's habits.

Whenever Chu Yi rubbed the jade wrench on his finger, it meant that Chu Yi had a killing intent in his heart.

Obviously, the success of several families such as the Miao family and the Lu family in Taiyuan caused Chu Yi's murder.

As soon as Du Yong finished speaking, he bowed respectfully and said: "Please also ask the chief manager to send heavenly soldiers as soon as possible to save the people of Taiyuan City and the water and fire!" ”

Chu Yi looked at Du Yong and said, "Du Yong, let me ask you, are all the Tatar armies stationed in Taiyuan City?" Are you sure about this? ”

Du Yong said with a look of affirmation in his eyes: "My subordinates dare to guarantee with their lives, in the past few days, my subordinates have quietly inquired that these Tatars have sent more than 2,000 horses to be stationed outside the city at the beginning, but in the past few days, the commander Hu Limu has transferred all the horses into Taiyuan City. ”

The corners of Chu Yi's mouth showed a little smile, and his eyes looked at Xu Tianzuo, Sun Qiu and the others.

Xu Tianzuo said excitedly: "Grand Administrator, this is a God-given opportunity, the last general begs the general to allow the last general to attack Taiyuan City at night, and the battle will be decided." ”

Sun Qiu was also not to be outdone, got up and asked for his life: "Chief Administrator, the last general is willing to guarantee with the head of the item, and he will go down to Taiyuan City!" ”

Seeing this, the other generals followed suit one by one.

Fools know that the strength of the Tatars lies in cavalry archery, if it is in the wilderness, don't look at Chu Yi They have tens of thousands of troops, unless they can take advantage of it not to be surrounded by the Tatar army, otherwise five thousand cavalry is really difficult to deal with.

Five thousand cavalry is enough to contain tens of thousands of troops, especially Chu Yi There are not many cavalry in their army at all, in this case, thousands of cavalry are on the side, not to mention blocking the back road of the Tatars, it is good to be able to defend against Hulimu's soldiers and horses.

However, Hu Limu actually gathered all the cavalry in Taiyuan City, so that the cavalry completely lost its mobility in the city, and in the city a big battle, how could the cavalry be the opponent of the foot soldiers.

Therefore, Xu Tianzuo and Sun Qiu learned that all the Tatars were assembled in Taiyuan City, and they were so confident that they even dared to issue military orders.

Chu Yi naturally knew this, with a somewhat relaxed look on his face, his gaze swept away, and finally fell on Xu Tianzuo and Sun Qiu.

Noticing Chu Yi's gaze, Xu Tianzuo and Sun Qiu have always been used to competing, so they naturally refused to give in to each other, and finally looked at Chu Yi together.

Chu Yi gently knocked on the table with one hand, and it was quiet in the big tent, only to hear Chu Yi say: "Xu Tianzuo, this governor ordered you to lead 10,000 horses to attack Taiyuan City at night, and at dawn, if you can't take Taiyuan City, this governor will ask for your head." ”

Xu Tianzuo clenched his fists excitedly and said, "The last general will obey the order!" ”

Watching Xu Tianzuo stride away, Sun Qiu couldn't help but have a look of loss on his face.

But at this moment, Chu Yi's voice sounded again: "Sun Qiu, this governor ordered you to lead an army of 10,000 to ambush the remaining three gates of Taiyuan City, and be sure to take down all the Tatar routs, you can do it?" ”

Sun Qiu, who originally thought that he would have no chance to fight this war, suddenly heard Chu Yi's order, and said almost reflexively: "The last general will definitely live up to the expectations of the chief manager." ”

Although it is not a heavy task to attack the city, but to capture the defeated soldiers, it is also a chance to go to the battlefield, which is better than watching Xu Tianzuo go to make meritorious contributions.

Soon Xu Tianzuo and Sun Qiu raised the army and went straight to Taiyuan City.

At the same time that Xu Tianzuo, Sun Qiu and others attacked Taiyuan City at night, Chu Yi also ordered the army to pull out the camp and slowly move towards Taiyuan City.

Taiyuan City

After a toss of the Tatars, coupled with the madness of the Miao family, the Lu family and several others, the whole Taiyuan City was in a rumor, and at night, Taiyuan City was quiet, and even a few lights could not be seen, as if it was a ghost.

On the city walls, groups of Tatar soldiers clinged to the battlements, one by one holding the weapons in their hands listlessly.

At first, the Tatars were very cautious when guarding the city at night, but it had been nearly a month, not to mention the Ming army, and not even a ghost shadow had been seen.

In this way, these soldiers guarding the city naturally relaxed all of a sudden.

On the wall of Taiyuan City, at a glance, most of the Tatar soldiers were completely asleep there, even if a few people barely stayed awake, they were very sleepy.

In the night, there were sparks on the earth in the distance, and gradually a long dragon was faintly visible, but because of the distance, it was not very conspicuous.

But as the distance got closer and closer, the long dragon was very eye-catching, especially when it was almost a mile away from Taiyuan City, the torch was already quite distinct.

"Enemy attack!"

A Tatar soldier noticed in a daze that outside the city, more than a hundred Tatar soldiers, almost eighty or ninety percent of them were asleep, and the remaining dozen or so people were able to notice the movement outside the city, which was already good.

This shout naturally woke up the more than 100 Tatar soldiers on the city wall, and Gollum rolled over and looked out of the city wall.

At a glance, I found that a sea of torches was coming towards Taiyuan City, just looking at the countless torches, the number of people was no less than 10,000.

"Go to General Tongbing!"

The Tatars screamed, and one by one they subconsciously clenched the weapons in their hands, but their hearts were full of fear.

Almost most of them entered the Central Plains for the first time, as for a big city like Taiyuan City, they were also stationed for the first time, and defending the city was really too strange to them, and they had no experience in defending the city at all, otherwise they would not have discovered Xu Tianzuo's soldiers and horses so late.

Even Xu Tianzuo was already very careful, but the torches at night were too eye-catching, and if there were no torches, the soldiers could not see the road clearly, so they had no choice, and could only hope that the Tatars would not react enough.

God opened their eyes, at least when Xu Tianzuo and they approached Taiyuan City, the Tatars discovered their traces.

Thousands of Tatars needed to guard the four walls, and Hulimu sent 500 people to each wall, but unfortunately those generals didn't care at all, only arranged more than 100 people on the city walls, and even turned a blind eye to the behavior of these people sleeping on the city walls, which was not at all like defending the city.

Hundreds of soldiers under the city went to the city wall as soon as they learned the news of the enemy's attack, and at this time Xu Tianzuo and others had already arrived at the city of Taiyuan.

I only heard Xu Tianzu shouting: "Soldiers, kill me, the first one to climb the city wall will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver, and the official will be promoted to three levels!" ”

As the so-called heavy reward must have a brave man, when Xu Tianzuo's order was issued, he saw tens of thousands of soldiers in the dark, one by one carrying a series of ladders towards Taiyuan City.

Many soldiers piled together the dry firewood they carried, and soon a dozen fires appeared under the city, and the night sky was lit up by a raging fire.

Although the Tatars could clearly see the besieging soldiers by the light of the fire and were able to carry out effective counterattacks, for the besieging side, the advantages outweighed the disadvantages under the light of the fire.

Then he saw a group of soldiers climbing up the ladder with their shields up to the top of the wall.

If it is said that the Ming soldiers defended the city, the city wall must have been prepared early with fire oil, rolling stones, push rods and other equipment to defend the city.

But where did these Tatars have any experience in defending the city, and these things necessary for defending the city were not on the city walls, but the fur used to sleep in one place.

The Tatar general in charge of defending the city looked angrily at the steady stream of climbing soldiers under the city, and roared angrily: "Shoot, shoot them for me!" ”

Wherever the rain of arrows passed, dozens or hundreds of soldiers were hit by arrows, but compared to the tens of thousands of soldiers, these casualties were negligible.

The 500 Tatars were stationed on the mile-long wall, and it was difficult to defend effectively by taking care of the head and tail.

Think about how much of a difference this can be achieved when there is only one Tatar soldier in almost a mile.

It's just a cup of tea, more than a dozen places on the city wall have been broken, when the Tatar soldiers defending the city were killed, a large area, a large area of the city wall lost the defense of the Tatars, and the Ming soldiers continued to climb the city wall.

Taiyuan City.

In a luxurious mansion, Hu Limu had just enjoyed the two snatched women last night, and he was sleeping heavily, when a hurried shout came: "General, general, something is wrong!" ”

Hu Limu frowned, with a little worry, and shouted angrily outside the door: "What the hell is going on, do you have to disturb General Ben's rest at this time?" ”

"The Ming army is attacking the city!"

"What!"

Hu Limu's sleepiness disappeared suddenly, and the whole person suddenly sat up, turned over and got out of bed, pulled his shirt and put it on his body, pulled them away, reached out and grabbed the collar of the pro-soldier and shouted: "You tell General Ben clearly, where did the Ming army come from?" ”

The pro-soldier said with a panicked look: "General, if you don't believe it, it's really the Ming soldiers and horses attacking the city!" ”

Hu Limu listened carefully, and there was indeed a faint sound of shouting and killing in the direction of the north city gate, and suddenly Hu Limu's expression changed, and he pushed away the personal soldier and said angrily: "The Ming army of heaven killing dares to attack the city, I want to see how they can resist my Tatar iron cavalry!" ”
