If cats can burrow rats, then do rats still have room to survive? The answer, of course, is no. In the same way, in the impression of everyone in the Ming Dynasty, the Tatars have always been only cavalry field battles, but when it comes to defending and besieging cities, they have almost no good methods except for relying on brute force to attack the city with the most rudimentary tools and the courage to fight death.

It was for this reason that Zhu Houzhao dared to use himself as bait, but when the Tatar army really began to attack the city, everyone in Xuanfu Town was silent. This fucking Tatar doesn't play according to the routine.

As soon as the Tatars arrived, they first set up a camp outside Xuanfu Town, and did not even attack the city that day, but first buried the pot and made food to rest peacefully.

The next morning, the Tatars came out of the camp and began to assemble, and then something shiny came out. Four-wheeled ladders, catapults, door-breaking gases, rushing cars...... Is this still a Tatar? When the Ming soldiers attacked the city, did they have such a complete set of siege equipment?

Zhu Houzhao stood on the city tower and saw that his whole heart was half cold, and his legs and stomachs were spinning. His irrepressible anger could be seen from the white joints of his sword that he was only pinching on the handle of his waist.

"Who can tell me where these Tatars got the plans of these siege machines?"

Jiang Bin, who was standing next to Zhu Houzhao, was also flustered, he had already discharged his horse to inspect. The entire Xuanfu Town has been surrounded by Tatar soldiers and horses, and even if Jiang Bin wants to take Zhu Houzhao to withdraw from Xuanfu Town to Juyong Pass, it is impossible.

Jiang Bin said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, I have arranged for someone to start digging tunnels in Zhenguo Mansion, if you encounter any danger, the emperor can escape from the tunnels first, and he will swear to the death to defend against the enemy." People are in the city, and people are lost in the city!"

Zhu Hou glanced at Jiang Bin, he patted Jiang Bin on the shoulder and said, "Don't care about the gains and losses of such a city, even if we lose this Xuan Mansion, we still have a chance to take it back." ”

"Whoosh...... swish" Suddenly, the sound of breaking the sky sounded, and Jiang Bin hurriedly pulled Zhu Houzhao back. Several extremely fast feather arrows shot from the air, and a few moves went straight to Zhu Houzhao's front door, and Jiang Bin directly pushed those feather arrows away with a wave of his right hand. Among them, one or two feathered arrows Jiang Bin did not touch, but they still changed the trajectory of the operation.

Zhu Houzhao gasped twice, Jiang Bin said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, it's very dangerous here, you better go to Zhenguo Mansion first, please rest assured that there is a general here." ”

"Good. Zhu Houzhao nodded, just turned around but stopped, then turned around and came back and said: "No, I am the king of a country, how can I be so greedy for life and afraid of death." Here I tell the soldiers that the Emperor is here with them to defend against the enemy, and if he can defeat the Tatars, I will personally take credit for them. ”

Jiang Bin was slightly startled, but when he saw Zhu Houzhao's determined appearance, he knew that Zhu Houzhao had already made a decision, and he couldn't persuade him. Jiang Bin nodded, clasped his fists and bowed in response: "Yes!

Immediately after the Tatars had finished firing three rounds of feathered arrows, they began to throw catapults at Xuanfu Town, and huge stones fell from the air in a haphazard manner. There were soldiers who were smashed, and the tragic situation was unbearable to look at.

Jiang Bin shouted loudly as he ran on the city tower: "Brothers, the emperor is here to defend against the enemy with us, and if you can defeat the Tatars, the emperor will personally reward you." ”

"Your Majesty, is the emperor in Xuanfu?" The soldiers on the city tower who were being pressed and beaten so much that they couldn't raise their heads shouted one after another, and they didn't know who shouted: "General Zhenguo is the emperor, everyone work hard, and the glory and wealth are looking at the present dynasty." ”

As soon as such remarks were spread, you could instantly feel the morale of the soldiers and generals on the city tower. The crowd fought back by shooting arrows at boulders and arrows, after all, it was condescending.

The arrows on the tower of the city were more accurate than those on the bottom of the tower. Between the two sides, the Tatar ladder is getting closer and closer. The casualties on both sides were heavy, but fortunately, the morale on the castle tower was good now, and the defense of the city was well prepared this time, and it may not be so easy for the Tatars to attack the city.

The Tatars were indeed as everyone had the impression of them, and they were extremely fierce when attacking the city, with a scimitar at their waist, or a scimitar in their mouth, and they climbed directly on the ladder, not to mention that they were fast, and the boulders and logs that were constantly thrown down from the city tower could not stop them at all. One Tatar soldier fell from the ladder, and three or five Tatar soldiers rushed up the ladder again.

Some people may still think that the so-called cloud ladder is the long bamboo ladder used in later generations of television, but in fact, the wisdom of the ancients is far more than that.

A real ladder actually has a very sturdy base underneath, and there are wooden wheels under the seat for easy rolling. There are also two iron hooks at the top of the ladder, and after pushing to the edge of the tower, the iron hook will hook the edge and fix the ladder on the tower.

Such a ladder is convenient for pushing down the castle tower during battle, and it is not easy to be stabbed by someone with something like a bamboo pole. Similar to the method of using bamboo to go up to the castle tower, in fact, it is not much different from building a city with human life.

Not long after the siege began, the Tatars had already ascended the towers from several places. Jiang Bin finally had a place to display his martial arts at this moment, only to see his long knife out of the sheath, and there seemed to be him and his guards everywhere on the city tower.

Wherever they passed, no Tatar could stand for more than ten seconds.

"Here comes the oil!" I don't know who shouted, and a group of soldiers carried several barrels of oil up the tower. The oil didn't seem to have much, but when the soldiers scooped a scoop with a special scoop and poured it down the castle tower, as soon as the oil touched the skin of the Tatar soldiers, there was a sound of "sizzle", which showed how high the temperature of the oil was.

In addition to the hot oil, there was also fierce fire oil at the same time. Pitch-black oil poured down from the tower, and then the torches were a little bit, and the fire burned brightly, and the ladder was engulfed in flames.

Outside Xuanfu Town, Dayan Khan, who had been riding on a war horse and watching the progress of the siege, frowned slightly. Obviously, the progress of the attack on Xuanfu was not at all as smooth as he expected.

Dayan Khan waved his hand and said, "Mingjin withdraws his troops." ”

"Yes!" the guards beside Dayan Khan replied and immediately gave the order.

Hearing the sound of the Tatars singing gold and withdrawing their troops, Jiang Bin suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and the long knife in his hand slammed into the ground, and the whole person kept panting.

No matter how high his martial arts are, he is always a human being, not a god.

If you are a person, you will be tired, you will be tired. Jiang Bin has been leading his guards back and forth to help, and the true qi in his body has already bottomed out, and in the end, he almost relied on his body and fighting instinct to kill the enemy.

Even so, Jiang Bin also had a few colors hanging on his arm, but fortunately the injury was not serious.

The Tatars retreated, but it was not they who were defeated. Everyone in Xuanfu Town only breathed a sigh of relief, and then their hearts became even heavier.

Anyone who has fought understands that the first attack was really just a temptation. The real offensive is definitely yet to come.

But the first battle was already so difficult, how long can you hold out next?

The soldiers were thinking about this problem, the generals were thinking about it, and Zhu Houzhao and Jiang Bin were also thinking about it in their hearts. Now Zhu Houzhao only hopes that the strange army he sent out can arrive at the manhole as soon as possible, and then capture the manhole along the way.

In addition, Jiangxia is here.

As soon as they left Juyong Pass, they realized that there was not much going on, and many refugees who had fled were walking towards Juyong Pass, as if they were preparing to retreat into Juyong Pass for refuge.

Jiang Xia asked a few refugees with a few steamed buns, and the results he got made him feel very solemn.

The Tatars have already started a war with the Ming Dynasty. The four towns of Xuanfu were besieged, and the remaining three towns of Yansui, Datong, and Liaodong were almost in a state of abandonment. Any Tatar cavalry came to attack, and the forces of the three towns were not enough to organize an effective counterattack, so the people of the three towns fled with their families.

Knowing that Xuanfu was besieged and Zhu Houzhao was in danger, Jiang Xia was very nervous.

When the group had just walked to a small town not far from Yu County, Jiang Xia took the initiative to find Wang Shunfeng to say goodbye to him.

Wang Shunfeng knew that Jiang Xia must have something important to do, so he was in such a hurry, so he didn't keep it much, but just said to Jiang Xia to take care.

After saying goodbye to Wang Shunfeng, Jiang Xia went to the female owner to say goodbye.

The door of the house where the female owner lived was guarded by four wooden people, Ah Jia, Ah B, Ah Bing, and Ah Ding, Jiang Xia showed his intention to the four of them, Ah Jia nodded and asked Jiang Xia to wait for a while, and then entered the Tongyu.

After the report, Ah Jia went out and said to Jiang Xia: "Jiang Gongzi, please." ”

Jiang Xia nodded and walked into the room of the female owner.

The mystery of the female owner has not changed, and there is still a screen between her and Jiang Xia.

However, Jiang Xia thought that this might be a habit of others, so he didn't care, and said through the screen: "Miss Wei, after so many days, I will be taken care of, and Jiang Xia has to leave first because she still has important things to do." ”

The female proprietor surnamed Wei coughed twice, and then said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Now that there is a war going on outside the Guanwai, Jiang Gongzi must be careful when he goes." ”

"Jiang Xia will pay attention, but it is Miss Wei herself. There is no need to close the inside outside, and the girl herself must also pay attention to safety. ”

"Thank you for your concern, the little girl will pay attention to herself. ”

After saying that, the female proprietor coughed a few more times.

Jiang Xia said to the screen: "Then Miss Wei take care, I'm going to say goodbye." ”

"Childe walks slowly. ”

After the female owner answered, Jiang Xia withdrew.

Not long after Jiang Xia left, the woman's voice immediately came from the room again.

"Ajia. ”

Soon the door opened, and Ah Jia walked in.

The voice of the female proprietor behind the screen is no longer hoarse, but has become a little lazy.

The female proprietor said: "Looking at Jiangxia's movements, if they leave, we will also leave for Yuxian immediately." ”

"Yes!" replied.

ps: Asking for a monthly pass, there are still two left, and someone will blow up the chrysanthemum. Brothers, sisters, ask for a monthly pass
