"The price is ......"

As soon as Hei Muhan heard this word, the first thing that came to mind was the Heavenly Khan sitting in the Golden Horde.

For the sake of the continuation of the tribe, he chose to give half of his wealth to the other party.

Then he thought of the acting king, the young man who only looked at him from a distance, and the other party didn't have too many requirements for him, only hoping that his tribe could join Datong Mansion.

But this is a price that the other party cannot bear.

Because he is a steppe man.

Hei Muhan looked at the masked man and said with a bitter face, "What do you want?" ”

"The life of the acting king, as long as you can do this, then this information does not require you to provide other additional rewards. But if you don't, your tribe and your people will be sacrificed, how about it? ”

The masked man said in a low voice.

"Sending off guests."

Hei Muhan didn't continue to bargain with the other party, but directly issued an eviction order.

The bet between him and the king is a bet between men, even if he loses, he can keep all the people in peace, but he just loses the freedom of the steppe people.

But the person in front of him wanted to put him completely on the opposite side of the acting king.

Once he accepts the other party's information, his tribe will become a casualty of this war, whether he wins or loses.

So Hei Muhan decisively refused.

The masked man was about to continue, but it took a moment for him to react that the other party had rejected his conditions.

"What do you say? Don't you want to win? ”

The masked man asked in a deep voice.

"I want to win, but not at the expense of my tribe, it seems that you don't understand me enough, for the sake of my tribe, I can be an enemy of anyone."

Hei Muhan turned around and said.

"Okay, okay, it's really the person that adults like, so let's do it, this information is a gift, and it depends on your ability to do it."

The masked man pulled a piece of parchment from his bosom, then turned and disappeared on the other side of the tent.

It was a little later before a patrol arrived.

"Chief, are you alright?" The warriors of the tribe looked at Heimuhan.

Kuroki waved his hand, then picked up the parchment from the table.

This is a map, and it is the Hujian Gorge that is depicted on it.

One of the key criteria is a tunnel, which does not indicate who dug it, but it can go directly to the middle of Hujian Gorge.

"Could this be a trap?"

Hei Muhan looked at the map and fell into deep thought.

……

"Second master, I have already handed over the map to the Mongol chieftain, but there is one thing I don't understand, why do we unite with the Mongols to murder the king?"

The masked man who delivered the letter was kneeling in front of the second leader of the Wolf Gang at this time.

The second master is sharpening a palm-sized knife.

"Think about how carefree we were when we were in Wuzhou Mountain before, and now although the Wild Wolf Gang is bigger than before, we have lost our freedom and have completely become the doglegs of that king."

"The eldest brother is obsessed, I can only act as a brother, as long as the little prince is dead, we can go back to the old days."

The second master sharpened his knife, and without waiting for the masked man's subordinates to continue to ask questions, he came to him in two steps and directly bleed the other party.

"Brother, don't blame me, for everyone's freedom, I can only sacrifice you, brother, I will remember what you have done for everyone."

After the second boss disposed of the corpses of the masked man, he went to the Justice Hall.

Wolf Gang Gathering Hall.

At this time, the Wild Wolf Gang has unified most of the bandits in Shanxi, and the gang has reached 8,000 people.

In addition to helping Scar, there are now more than twenty other leaders in the gang.

The hall was already full, and the second master was the last to walk in, and then sat down to the right of Scar.

"Big brother, I'm late, I received a secret report, the Blackwood tribe is planning to do it again in Hujian New City recently."

The second master whispered.

"Oh? This is true, I thought they would stop for a while after suffering a big loss, can there be more specific information? ”

Scarface asked.

The second master shook his head and said, "The brother who found out this information was seriously injured, and he died after saying this. ”

"In this case, let's have someone send a letter to the prince."

……

When Zhu Gui received the information from the Wild Wolf Gang, he was making arrangements for the next step.

Today's Hujian City can be said to be impregnable under the defense of the Hongyi cannon.

But yesterday's battle still shocked him so much that he began to wonder if his plan to seize Blackwood City should be changed.

At the very least, we had to find a better way to defend ourselves against the Mongol archers.

The best way is naturally body armor, but Zhu Gui can't afford to equip the whole army.

So he had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, and let the blacksmith start to build iron helmets, especially face protectors, to achieve all-round protection.

Although this helmet could not withstand the strength of the front of the strong bow, it had a very good defensive effect against the rain of arrows that the Mongols were good at.

In addition, the armor and shield with patches can be used to minimize losses.

However, the information of the Wild Wolf Gang made Zhu Gui a little suspicious.

Could it be that the previous battle was just a trick on the part of Hei Muhan? Did he actually come up with something else?

But because the information of the Wild Wolf Gang is very vague, Zhu Gui doesn't know what conspiracy the other party has.

Moreover, now that tens of thousands of laborers have gathered in Hujian City, the daily food consumption is not a small amount, and he can't delay time at all.

So he could only call Xu Yingxu overnight and tell the other party about it.

Xu Yingxu had no better way, but asked him to strengthen his vigilance at night to prevent the Mongols from sneaking up.

Xu Yingxu personally led 3,000 soldiers and tens of thousands of laborers, and rushed to the original station of the Heimu tribe at night and began to build the city.

The dangerous work of going deep into the grassland, Xu Yingxu is naturally duty-bound, and Zhu Gui staying in the rear is also a matter of course.

It's just that no one expected that on the second night of Xu Yingxu's departure, a large number of Mongolians suddenly appeared in the center of Hujian City.

They stormed the walls on either side.

Zhu Gui was awakened in his sleep.

When he came to the city wall, he found that the city was already full of fires, and the shouts of killing were even more continuous.

Fortunately, the Mongols did not bring in the war horses, otherwise Zhu Gui could only abandon the city and flee.

At the same time as the shouts of killing sounded inside the city, thousands of Mongolian cavalry suddenly appeared outside the city.

Although they did not have siege weapons, the rain of arrows still caused heavy losses to the soldiers on the city walls.
