Xiao Ruxun traveled day and night, and finally arrived at Lingzhou City after traveling for a day and a night, looking at Lingzhou City close at hand, Xiao Ruxun's tense face couldn't help but show a smile.

"Brothers, go into town!" Xiao Ruxun gave an order, and the 20,000 army walked towards Lingzhou City with neat steps.

After entering the city, a bearded man wearing iron armor immediately greeted him, "Lingzhou City guards Gu Yong, I have seen the generals." ”

"Gu Shoubei is not polite." Xiao Ruxun helped Gu Yong up, and then asked him about the garrison in the city.

Gu Yong arched his hand at Xiao Ruxun and said in a deep voice: "There are still 5,000 defenders in the city, but... How many recruits, if they encounter a war, I am afraid it will be difficult to come in handy.

"It's okay, I brought 20,000 troops to help, relying on the city, it is enough to resist the enemy, and if there is really a war, General Ma will bring troops here, at most three days."

Hearing Xiao Ruxun's explanation, Gu Yong breathed a long sigh of relief, and then asked tentatively: "My lord, what if the enemy army doesn't attack Lingzhou City?" ”

"Hahaha," Xiao Ruxun laughed, "unless they put on their wings and fly over the Yellow River." ”

"My lord, the water level of the Yellow River is high and low, and some places can still wade through." Gu Yong reminded cautiously on the side.

Xiao Ruxun waved his hand, "This is not something you should consider, let's just defend this Lingzhou City, even if they can pass, it is only a small group of enemy troops, and the defenders in the territory are enough to exterminate." ”

Gu Yong wanted to say more, but was glared at by Xiao Ruxun, so he had to swallow back the words that came to his lips.

In the evening of the same day, Xiao Ruxun inspected the city defense with Gu Yong, and from time to time pointed out the deficiencies. After turning around, I found that there was no major problem, so I went down to the city.

"Gu Garrison, your people will be the reserve first, let my people be in front first, and your people will carry the wounded first and move some rolling stones."

Gu Yong's face turned red, so he had to nod helplessly, it's not that he can't do it, it's really that the people under his hands are not angry. This Lingzhou City has just been slaughtered once, and who wants to come here.

After a few more words to Gu Yong, Xiao Ruxun returned to his big tent and fell asleep.

That night, when the moon was in the sky, tens of thousands of Tatar cavalry took advantage of the moonlight to gallop on the grassland, kicking up bursts of dust, and at this time they were less than 50 miles away from Lingzhou City.

"Brothers, hurry up, wait until we are 20 miles in front of Lingzhou City, and then we will rest." The Tatar leader shouted. The Tatar leader was named Porjin Tumen, the third-to-last Great Khan of the Tatars, because in the back, the Mongol tribes surrendered to the Manchus, and naturally there was no Great Khan.

Now, he was invited by Li Rabbit to come to the Ming border to raid it, because he had just succeeded to the throne not long ago, and it was also to give himself a boost.

"Phew." After marching about 30 miles, the cavalry began to slow down, followed by the cavalry who rode for about a few miles, and finally the speeding procession came to a halt.

"Let's set up camp here, send people to urge the rabbit and the monk, and say that Ben Khan has arrived."

After that, Tumen asked his soldiers to take out their big accounts, and after setting them up, they went into it, and waited quietly for the people below to bring him food, and in a short time, the whole camp was filled with the smell of food.

After eating the leg of mutton, Tumen drank a pot of wine and hurriedly fell asleep, in which he dreamed that he had penetrated Ningxia in one fell swoop, and also reproduced the glory of the ancestors, conquering the entire Ming Dynasty.

Lingzhou City, not far away, was as quiet as water, and the soldiers guarding the city were still talking and laughing, unaware that danger was coming.

"Well, do you think this can really be fought?"

"I see, eighty percent of the spectrum is not scored, the rabbit is now a lost dog, let's not go to him for trouble, it's good, he still dares to take the initiative to seek death?"

"Hahaha... That's right, it's better not to fight, it's better not to fight. ”

“......”

In the early morning of the next day, a soldier defending the city slowly opened his eyes, and saw a cavalry slowly walking not far away.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack." The creep struggled and shouted.

The surrounding soldiers were instantly awakened, "What then, what then?" Then he saw the black-pressed cavalry getting closer and closer.

"Quick, go tell the garrison and the general."

The little soldiers hurriedly went to report to Xiao Ruxun and Gu Yong, and the two hurried to the head of the city, looking at the Mongolian cavalry outside the city, they couldn't help but look pale.

"Pass on my military order, and the whole city will be on combat readiness." As soon as Xiao Ruxun gave the order, many soldiers climbed to the top of the city, took up arms, and waited for the enemy to attack.

The cavalry on the opposite side was not stupid, and they stopped a few miles away from Lingzhou City, as if they were waiting for someone.

Tumen looked at the Ming army at the head of the city, and found that their banners were clear, their morale was like a rainbow, and their faces couldn't help but sink.

"Hurry again, those two bastards are there now. Didn't they say that there were only 5,000 recruits in Lingzhou City? ”

"They call this a recruit?"

The herald was unlucky, and was kicked by the Tumen's rage, and took a few steps back, and had to get up immediately to complete the errand that the Tumen had commanded.

Half an hour later, the herald finally arrived at the camp of the rabbit. As soon as he saw the two of them, the herald immediately knelt down and asked:

"The leader of the two, the Great Khan of my family asked, when will you join forces with us and start attacking the city."

The rabbit and the monk glanced at each other, and then the rabbit helped the herald up, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about your family's sweat, you have to prepare some siege equipment for this siege." ”

"I'm very familiar with this Lingzhou, the east gate of Lingzhou is extremely weak, and when the time comes, we'll take that as the main direction of attack."

The herald was overjoyed, and as soon as he surrendered his hand to the two, he immediately went back to restore his life. After seeing the herald walking away, the monk asked with a smile, "You don't plan to break the city from Lingzhou, do you?" ”

"Hahaha......" Rabbit laughed out loud.

After breaking the city from Lingzhou, there are a lot of fortresses built in Huamachi, if they are uprooted one by one, it will be too troublesome, but if you want to directly cross the Yellow River, it will be much faster.

"When the time comes, let's let the Tumen attract the attention of the Ming army in the front, if he can break the city, then it will naturally be the best, and it doesn't matter if he can't break it."

"You're too yin, aren't you, if you let the figures know that you're being used for nothing, you won't be able to find you desperately, hahaha..."

Li Tu shook his head with a smile, and then replied softly: "With his brain, he thinks he is smart, how could he have thought that I see that the Mongolian tribes are in his hands, and it is really over." ”

The two of them burst into laughter again.

A day later, the rabbit and the monk came late, and after seeing the figures, they dismounted and saluted, "The rabbit has seen the great sweat"

"Slaughter monk, I've seen the Great Khan." At least Tumen is still a big sweat on the surface, and the two still need to be respected.

Seeing that the two knew each other like this, Tumen didn't continue to dwell on the matter of the two coming late, and then turned around and asked, "Two, when will the city be attacked?" ”

"Today!"

Tumen also nodded again and again, then let the cavalry dismount, pointed to the head of the city and shouted: "Brothers, charge me, enter the Ming Dynasty, what do you want, women, cattle, sheep ....."

"Kill!" Hearing the roar of the Tumen, the Mongol soldiers rushed towards the city wall with red eyes as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

Suddenly, arrows rained down from the city wall, and the Mongol soldiers, ignoring the rain of arrows and rolling stones, put the ladder on the city wall and began to climb upward.

"Ah!! My hand. "A Mongolian soldier just climbed the city wall, was chopped off by the Ming army, and fell directly under the city.

The battlefield reverberated with wails and the crash of metal, and many Mongol soldiers were swallowed up by a rain of arrows before they even reached the city walls, becoming dead bodies on the battlefield.

However, as time went by, Mongol soldiers continued to climb the city, but fortunately, Xiao Ruxun had a back hand and sent the reserves, which stopped the decline.

Then the Mongol soldiers charged three times in succession, all of which were repulsed, but the losses of the Ming army were also extremely painful, they were the defenders of the city, and more than 2,000 people were killed in one day, if they followed this posture, they would have beaten the old bottom in 10 days.

"Dangdangdang....." Suddenly, the sound of gold was heard not far away, and the Mongolian soldiers who were still charging ran towards the direction of the camp, and as for those who were still on the ladder, they became lambs to be slaughtered.

In the evening, the entire battlefield was full of stumps and broken legs, and the space was filled with a strong smell of blood, and the moat stained red by blood looked particularly enchanting in the light of the setting sun.

The Great Tent of Tumen.

At this time, the figures sat on the top, focusing on the rabbit and the slaughtering monk to sit on both sides. Tumen complained with great pain: "Two, this Lingzhou City is not as easy to attack as the two of you said. ”

"Don't worry, Great Khan, let's attack from the east gate tomorrow, where the city wall has collapsed, so it is not so strong."

"You already knew, why didn't you tell me earlier, I had to lose so many warriors in vain." There was a hint of complaint in Tumen's tone.

"Hahaha... Don't misunderstand, we just have to show weakness to the enemy, otherwise they will definitely be on guard. ”

"Your Taoism is many, forget it, tomorrow you will do as you say."

Nothing was said all night.

At dawn the next day, Li Rabbit came to the east city with soldiers and horses, and couldn't help but laugh secretly when he looked at the loose city wall.

"Brothers, the city is broken today, rush me!"

With a roar of the rabbit, the Mongolian soldiers continued to carry the ladder and gallop, and when they reached the city, there were shield soldiers blocking the flying arrows, and under the protection of the shields, the Mongolian soldiers continued to hit the city wall with rolling logs.

"Bang, bang!" Suddenly, and suddenly, and then the walls began to loosen.

"General, the east gate is in an emergency, and a group of Mongolian soldiers are constantly hitting the city wall, and the city wall is about to break."

"Quick, quick, go and lead someone to plug it."

Fortunately, Xiao Ruxun arrived in time, otherwise this city wall might really be broken, Rao is like this, and he still broke out in a cold sweat.

Not far away, the rabbit was about to open the gap, but it was destroyed, and he couldn't help but sigh, and then continued to order to increase the effort.
