The successive changes made everyone on the battlefield nervous.

Li Manzhu wiped the sweat on his forehead and turned his head to Xu He and shouted, "My lord, is this your back hand again?" ”

Xu He smiled bitterly, where did he come from, even if he brought someone here, it was just a coincidence.

At this time, the Tatars under the east wall could not attack, and Xu He had already ordered people to condescend to continue to suppress the Tatar soldiers in the Malanyu Pass below.

Suddenly, the captain of the pro-soldier Xing Hu said: "Look, my lord, it's our soldiers of Great Wei!" ”

Xu He looked at the pass, and sure enough, there were cavalry galloping from afar, and on the two flags headed by him, one side said "thistle", and the other side had many and small words, so it was not clear to read.

"It's the border army that has arrived!" Xu He was immediately overjoyed.

When those soldiers and horses approached, they looked at the other flag with the words "Jizhen Assist Guard and Raise Qin".

The officers who lead a region are generally called town guards, those who guard all the way alone are divided guards, and those who guard one city and one fort are called garrisons.

and he who will be in the same place with the Lord will be the co-keeper.

It seems that this is Qin Shixian, the deputy chief soldier of Jizhen, has arrived.

Sure enough, soon a burly man appeared in front of the army, Xu He looked from a distance, and found that Chen Yingzhao drove his horse to the border army of Jizhen to communicate something.

After a while, the people and horses of Jizhen divided into two roads, all the way behind the Beijing guards who were continuing to build the wooden village.

The divided infantry army was led by the burly man himself to the pass.

"I know that Lord Xu can be on the wall." The burly man ignored the fact that he was not far away, and his subordinates were entangled and fighting with the Tatars, and shouted to the city, "The inferior is Qin Shixian, the deputy chief soldier of Jizhen Town!" ”

Xu He came to the wall and said, "Qin Junmen!" ”

Qin Shixian was overjoyed: "Your Majesty is here to recover Ma Lanyu on the orders of the imperial court!" ”

Xu He said to the Xinghu beside him: "Go, find a rope ladder and let him come up." ”

Soon, Qin Shixian came to the city through the rope ladder under the protection of the soldiers in front and behind.

As soon as he saw Xu He, the deputy chief soldier knelt down on one knee in front of Xu He: "I didn't expect the horse to be one step ahead of me!" Shame on you! ”

Xu He helped Qin Shixian up and said, "Qin Junmen doesn't have to make this big gift, what is the situation?" How did you guys get here? Has the emperor transferred troops? ”

The border army also needs to be mobilized by the emperor himself before it can attack on a large scale, especially Qin Shixian, the deputy general of a town.

Qin Shixian looked around, invited Xu He aside, and then took out the holy decree in his sleeve and handed it to Xu He.

Xu He unfolded it and took a look, and sure enough, it was an edict for the deputy commander-in-chief of Jizhen to recover Ma Lanyu.

But Qin Shixian whispered at this time: "Don Ma, the eunuch in my army speaks, as if the emperor seems to be in poor health, and now he is the prince in the country!" ”

"What?" Xu He was taken aback, "Is Qin Junmen's words true?" ”

Qin Shixian nodded: "It won't be wrong, the eunuch Liu Gonggong is a safe man, and he has a good relationship with our army, and it was the eunuch who passed the decree to tell him!" ”

Xu He frowned and looked in the direction of Beijing City.

Emperor Zhizheng is not in good health, and he has known about this for a long time.

But he never thought that the emperor would fall ill at this juncture and couldn't see things.

And, really sick?

Will......

Moreover, why is it the crown prince's prison?

What about King Qi?

What was King Qi's reaction?

Also, the most worrying thing is the Tatar, at this time, where did the Tatar go?

"Pony, pony?" Qin Shixian's voice interrupted Xu He's musings.

"Qin Junmen!"

"What's going on in Guanzhong now?"

Xu He described the situation just now!

Qin Shixian frowned and said, "In other words, now we are in a stalemate with the Tatars?" ”

Xu He nodded.

"I know that the guards led by the horses are all recruits! In this way, the inferior will lead the troops to attack Ma Lanyu, and the horses will wait for me to suppress the formation! ”

Xu He was quite surprised, because of Ma Han and Zhao Lan, he didn't have a good impression of Ji Zhenbing, he really didn't expect this Qin Shixian to be so good.

But after thinking about it, he knew Qin Shixian's intentions.

Now Liu Gui, who came from Sichuan, is still on the way, and the imperial court directly gave him such a big opportunity to perform.

If you can let the abolished prince, no, let the prison country see his Qin Shixian's ability, then the position of the general soldier of Jizhen may not be Liu Gui's, even if Liu Gui is still the chief soldier of Jizhen, it is undoubtedly a good thing to be remembered by the prison country.

A seemingly rude man who keeps calling himself "inferior", doesn't that tell the story?

Xu He nodded and said, "Then it's hard work for Qin Junmen!" ”

Qin Shixian was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly went down to the city to command the army.

At this time, the follow-up soldiers and horses of Jizhen also arrived.

Obviously, they came prepared this time, and brought a lot of various siege equipment, and even more than a dozen cannons were pulled.

With the cannon, the effect is suddenly different.

There were many mountains near Malanji, and after tossing for a long time, the auxiliaries pulled the cannons to the mountain, and the bottom of the mountain was guarded by Qin Shixian with cavalry.

In this era, serious siege warfare began.

First, firearms, bows and arrows were shot at the head of the city as if they did not want money.

Immediately afterwards, the infantry pushed the siege equipment and gradually pressed on.

The Tatars saw the new Wei army approaching step by step, but due to the influence of the troops, the Tatar generals did not dare to send people out of the city again, so they could only let their subordinates release arrows towards the city.

One back and forth, the soldiers of Jizhen were shot down in a large area.

But soon, the additional personnel filled the front and continued to rush towards the city.

Just when the Tatars were about to release their arrows, suddenly, the sound of more than a dozen landslides and mountains sounded, and in the blink of an eye, the city was hit by cannonballs, making a loud and dull sound.

"It's a cannon! Wei Dog's cannon! ”

Many of the Tatars on the pass were [habitual offenders] who had broken into the pass several times, and the sharp weapons of the Wei people to defend the city were actually moved outside the city.

Although these shells are solid, they are very powerful, and when they hit the wall, they are a huge depression, and if they hit people, it is estimated that the hook gun can only hook some intestines back.

Just when everyone was frightened, the second round of artillery sounded, and a cannonball smashed directly on the city, so that the pillars of the city gate tower were directly smashed, and the tiles and stones burst out, hitting the nearby Tatars, killing and wounding more than ten people in an instant.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the infantry of Jizhen pushed the siege weapons under the city walls.

The siege logs had begun to smash into the gates over and over again.

Ma Lanyu was crumbling.

There were not many Tatars left to defend the city, and it was difficult to stand on the top of the city and shoot arrows down.

Xu He led people to shoot arrows at the gate under the east wall, so that those people could only hide near the protected city tower above their heads.

Only the enemies on the Western Wall can shoot arrows to fight back.

Soon, the first group of besieging infantry could not stand the rain of arrows on the western wall and overhead, and left the corpses of their companions and siege equipment and fled back.

But Qin Shixian seemed to be accustomed to this scene, and scolded and said, "Second team, give it to me!" The grinding also grinded the Tatars to death! ”

Xu He stood on the east wall and watched this scene, and sighed in his heart, this is the real war, human life is like a mustard, all conspiracies and tricks are useless, and in the end, it is the strength of both sides that fights!

Obviously, the Wei army, which has an advantage in numbers, wants to take Ma Lanyu, and now it is only a matter of time!
