After this battle, the king of Shunyi will completely lose the strength and foundation to dominate the grassland.

And whether he can survive in the grassland has become a big problem.

From the time Qi Zhaohu made the military order in front of Zhou Xian to the present, it has not been more than three days.

He perfectly fulfilled the mission promised to Zhou Xian.

What about Zhou Xian?

At this time, Zhou Xianqin led the army to attack Datong.

Zhou Xian is facing Hazier, who is extremely angry and anxious to jump off the wall.

Compared with Qi Zhaohu's marching speed, Zhou Xian's forward speed was obviously a little slow.

He mainly waited for the military information from Qi Zhaohu and Xue Gang on the left and right wings.

In order to prevent himself from leading his troops to Datong City, Qi Zhaohu and Xue Gang had not yet taken the left and right wings.

Then he was made dumplings by Hazir instead.

This is Zhou Xian.

As a traverser, even if he knew that Qi Zhaohu and Xue Gang could take the five forts outside Datong and the seven forts on the right wing.

Nor will they put themselves in real danger.

Therefore, Zhou Xian marched for two days, and only stationed at Wuhou Pavilion, which was thirty miles away from Datong.

This place was the stopping place of Guan Gong when he went from Shanxi to Hebei in the late Han Dynasty.

Later, Guan Yu was enshrined as a saint, so this place was named.

In later generations, there were also many heroes and heroes who served as pavilion chiefs in this place.

Don't look at the name of Wuhou Pavilion, but there are thousands of indigenous people in this place.

Because it is located next to a military town, the real development potential of this place is comparable to that of a county in the interior of the Ming Dynasty.

On the crooked-necked old trees outside the city, there are more than a dozen withered peasants.

Zhou Xian buried them in the ground.

The first thing is that this place has suffered from war before.

Many of the peasants had wounds on their bodies.

The wound had stopped bleeding, but there was a constant oozing of abscess.

Only when Zhou Xian passed by Wuhou Pavilion, many injured peasants ended their suffering by hanging themselves.

The scenes here are very heart-wrenching to watch.

As the saying goes, life is like a mustard, and it is the troubled times in front of us.

After seeing the officers and soldiers of the government, many scrawny and ragged people did not feel a trace of joy, but scattered in panic as if they saw the soldiers of the underworld.

Some of them directly put on the mentality of Ning Weiyu and not with the tile, and rushed towards Zhou Xian.

They want to have bad intentions.

Life and death have been completely put to the fore.

The brocade guards around Zhou Xian immediately took action.

Take them all.

Seeing them draw out the embroidered spring knife, Zhou Xian shouted angrily: "Stop, don't hurt the border army." ”

Border Army?

Jin Yiwei looked at Zhou Xian puzzled.

He asked the dozen or so sallow-faced villagers blankly, "Are you border soldiers?" ”

For Zhou Xian, there is no need to ask at all.

Because Zhou Xian could see the fierceness in the eyes of those people and the tenacity that was absent.

This kind of look has appeared in the eyes of these people.

And it is different from those people who are idle in the plough.

"We ......" they stared at Zhou Xian with hatred.

I just thought that the person in front of me was a corrupt official.

Ma Wenzhong said: "Today's master is here. ”

As soon as these words came out, they immediately put away their hateful eyes and replaced them with incredible surprise.

After a moment of silence, all the tenacity and grievances on their faces turned to excitement.

They knelt down and kowtowed: "It's Chitose Lord, it's Chitose Pony, and I'm a Pony!" ”

Zhou Xian sighed and asked, "You are the sergeants of that part?" ”

"Qi Yu Chitose, we are under the command of the chief soldier Jiang Jiao!"

Zhou Xiandao: "What about him? ”

"Jiang Shuai ...... him"

"When the Tartar Iron Cavalry ravaged the military town, Jiang Shuai led us and others to put on a posture of resistance, but as soon as we fought, Jiang Shuai's whereabouts were unknown......"

Zhou Xian said angrily: "There are 20,000 elite border troops under Jiang Pin's command, why did he abandon the army and flee?" You waited for the city to defend it, and 20,000 people lost the city? How to explain it? ”

Everyone felt the anger on Zhou Xian's face.

"Chitose, the lowly rank has the intention to kill the enemy, but he can't suppress the thief."

One of them said helplessly: "The military department where the humble post is located, has not received a penny from the imperial court for half a year, and even the food is not a meal, Jiang Shuai gave a death order, and he can only eat one meal thick in three days, and the others are all thin." ”

"And ......"

The soldier's lips quivered.

"Say!" Zhou Xian asked in a deep voice.

The man hesitated for a long time, then got up and said, "Chitose, there are some things that you can know at a glance. ”

After saying that, more than a dozen hungry deserters got up one after another.

Walk towards the gate of Wuhou Pavilion.

Jin Wuwei, who was surrounded by Zhou Xian, wanted to step forward to subdue the dozen or so people, but Zhou Xian waved his hand to stop him.

Lu Delin was a little worried: "Chitose ......"

"They have fallen to obedience, there must be a reason, let's go."

Lu Delin was no longer stubborn, and personally accompanied Zhou Xian on his left side in case he was unprepared.

The men had come to the bottom of the walls.

Then he drew the military dagger he had brought with him and began to pull at the city walls.

After a while, Zhou Xian, Lu Delin and the others were all dumbfounded.

Because the twelve-meter-thick city wall, which is claimed to be able to block cannons, is actually hollowed out.

Moreover, the wall was dug by a dozen people with daggers, and a large hole could accommodate the cavalry impact.

The whole process is no more than a cup of tea.

Those people looked back at Zhou Xian, and Zhou Xian was already bloodless at this time.

Lu Delin asked angrily, "Is this true of all the walls here?" ”

"Yes, Lu Shuai, we really can't walk, Lu Shuai, you can go and see for yourself."

Hearing this, Zhou Xian and Lu Delin did not slack off in the slightest.

The two rode along the city walls to observe.

Not to mention the city walls.

Let's talk about the city gates!

The city gate, which originally weighed thousands of pounds, was like papier-mâché.

It looks tall, but it's actually made of rotten wood.

The overall lightness does not exceed 200 catties.

Such a door can be split open with a knife.

it!

It's numb!

Zhou Xian's whole body was numb!

At this time, the dozen or so people also walked over with each other's arms, knelt behind Zhou Xian and cried: "Chitose! Chitose! The reason for the fall of the border town is not that we wait, not because they are humble and do not fight bravely to kill the enemy, but because the infantry defending the city cannot withstand the impact of the Mongol iron cavalry. As you can see, such a gate could not slow down the cavalry attack. ”

Zhou Xian swallowed, and his cheeks bulged high.

He wants to kill now!

"When did the walls of the border town become so fragile? What the hell is going on? Lu Delin's roar was like thunder.

"Yes......"

Those people paused, looked at each other, and then made a lot of determination and said: "Back to Chitose, Lu Shuai, the city defense construction of the border town was rebuilt by Governor Wang three years ago, saying that it was to renovate and strengthen the city defense, but in fact, it was demolished and rebuilt!" ”

Zhou Xian did not speak.
