The Western Route Army, led by Zhang Peng and Wei Xing, had entered the Hetao area and had already engaged with a small group of Tatar troops, but the war was not going well. The Tatar army there did not attack the city www.biquge.info the Pen "Fun" Pavilion, they only plundered the main land, robbed after the fight, and ran away after the robbery, although the number was not very large, but it was like a straggler, and it was not easy to deal with. For a while, Zhang Peng and Wei Xing had a great headache.

They are like this, and this is not the case on the side of the Eastern Route Army. Nearly half a month has passed, and the Tatar army has been unable to hold out in the camp, and only come to call for battle every once in a while, but they do not come to attack the city, Long Xiaotian and others muttered in their hearts. Those generals of the Ming army who couldn't bear it took the initiative to go to the battle several times, but they were blocked back every time. Long Feiyu and Wei Wei even led people to rush to the camp, but the Tatar army was well defended and did not get the slightest benefit.

Yunxiao has never felt good in his heart, the Tatar army is not attacking the city, it must be waiting for the opportunity to attack the city, since it is waiting for the opportunity, then there must be some ulterior conspiracy. Yunxiao pondered and meditated, thought about it for a few days, and secretly thought about it for a long time, but he still couldn't think of any conspiracy from the other party.

On this day, he simply opened the military topographic map and carefully inspected it, thinking carefully: "Hengshan City is in front of Yulin Border Town, and the Tatar army must break through to attack Yulin City. Therefore, Yulin was the first important place they had to capture. ”

"And how will they find a way to break through Hengshan City and break through Yulin?"

"Behind Yulin is the Divine Tree, and above the Divine Tree is ...... Oh, no! They can make a detour to attack the Divine Tree, so as to flank the Yulin, if the Divine Tree is lost, the Yulin is in danger!"

Yunxiao suddenly realized that he understood the conspiracy that the enemy might implement, and thinking of this, he hurriedly went to Long Xiaotian and Wang Zhi to explain his thoughts.

But Wang Zhi shook his head in disagreement, and only heard him refute: "Xiao Gongzi is too worried, how easy is it for them to attack Shenmu, if they make a detour from the north as you said, then they must first go through Wushen, and then pass through Yijin Horo, and then they can make a detour to Shenmu, not to mention the long distance, but also to go up the mountains, cross the forest, and cross the desert, how difficult is this? In addition, even if they capture Shenmu, there are still so many defenders around Shenmu, won't the Tatar army become a lone army, and the little prince can't be so dangerous!"

Yunxiao shook his head, still insisting: "The Art of War Cloud 'surprises, attack them unprepared', if not, how could they take a detour? We thought they wouldn't, that's why they would." Seeing that our Hengshan City is unbreakable, they really have no other way to break through the Yulin defense line, even if the defenders around Shenmu are not as numerous as the Tatar army, not to mention that they still have such a powerful leader?"

After that, he pleaded again: "Father-in-law, Master Hou, Shenmu must be guarded against!"

Long Xiaotian thought in his heart that Yunxiao was reasonable, but reflecting on Wang Zhi's words was not unreasonable, he was speechless for a while, and he couldn't make up his mind.

While he was considering it carefully, the herald came in and reported that the Tatar queen Mandu Haiqin had led an army of 120,000 to attack the city. The war was critical, and Long Xiaotian, Wang Zhi and others didn't have time to think deeply, so they immediately led the generals to the city to defend against the enemy.

This battle can be fought for a long time, the Tatar army will be out of control as soon as it attacks, with 20,000 people as an echelon, attacking in turns, the Ming army of 100,000 horses did not dare to be careless at all, and also took turns to be on duty.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and corpses were everywhere in the city, but the Tatar army still did not give up the attack, and it seemed that they were crazy. They not only attacked Hengshan City, but even the nearby cities of Ansai, Zichang, and Zizhou, and the Tatar army also relied on the large number of troops to fight, Long Xiaotian and Wang Zhi wanted to command the defense of Hengshan City, and they had to take into account the above-mentioned cities.

On the night of the third day, the offensive of the Tatar army seemed to be more intense, and Long Xiaotian, Yunxiao, Long Feiyuan, Tie Shigang and others were all in command of the battle in the city. But a sudden news made them all surprised, or angry and annoyed, Long Xiaotian even scolded on the ground, scolding the group of crazy people, scolding the group of extremely cunning Mongols.

It turned out that as Yunxiao expected, the Tatar army really divided into another route, and the little prince of the Tatar Khan personally led 100,000 soldiers and horses, disguised as ordinary people, and passed through Wushen and Yijin Horo in several ways, and made a detour to attack Shenmu. A day ago, the Shenmu defender fell into the little prince's plan to lure the enemy, and died in battle, the Shenmu defenders suffered heavy losses, and the remaining were less than 3,000 people, and Shenmu City was very critical.

The sacred tree does not exist, and the Yulin is in danger. In desperation, Long Xiaotian had to send Yunxiao and Long Feiyuan to defend it. The distance from Hengshan to Shenmu will take at least three days to lead the army or call the nearest reinforcements from Baode and Xingzhou, but the current situation of Shenmu City can not wait for three days. The situation is urgent. Simply, Yunxiao and Long Feiyuan set off first to command the enemy, and the follow-up reinforcements Long Xiaotian sent other generals to recruit.

The Tengwu of the clouds and the red dragon of the dragon flying kite are all good horses who travel thousands of miles every day, and at noon on the second day, the two of them rushed to Shenmu City. When I arrived, I heard that the Tatar army came to attack the city again last night, and Shenmu City barely withstood the attack by virtue of its easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it was still a heavy loss, and the Shenmu defenders were less than a thousand. Today, the Tatar army thought that Shenmu City was within reach, and they also needed to rest and recuperate after days of fighting, and they did not come to attack the city for a day.

Yunxiao and Long Feikite, one is the pride of the sky and the other is the pride of the sky, no matter when and where they can show an unusual demeanor. The guard of Shenmu City is dead, and the remaining generals are mainly accompanied by the deputy general Lei Xiansheng, and they saw that the governor of Long Dadu only sent these two people, but they still muttered in their hearts, and the morale that was originally decadent was still decadent. Seeing this, Yunxiao and Long Feiyuan vowed to live and die with Shenmu City, but they only reluctantly agreed, but what they harbored in their hearts was hopelessness and doubts!

Yunxiao saw that the morale of the Shenmu defenders was low, and while using words to stimulate their morale, he was strengthening the defense with actions. After they arrived, they were not idle, did not bother to take a moment's rest, and went to direct the secret construction of fortifications, digging dark passages, digging dark trenches, and arranging defense. For the current Shenmu City, time is the most precious thing, as long as there is time, you can wait for reinforcements, and only with reinforcements can Shenmu City hold it. Therefore, the idea of resisting the enemy is very clear, that is, to do everything possible to gain time and wait for reinforcements to arrive. Since they want to gain time, what Yunxiao and Long Feikite need to do is naturally come up with a way to delay the enemy's breakthrough of the city. However, Yunxiao made a very bold decision, but it surprised Long Feikite and the rest of the Divine Wood defenders, and they couldn't believe it!
