In the early morning of the fifteenth day of the first month of the eighth year of Chongzhen, it turned out to be a winter foggy weather.

It's a fog.

The fog around the middle capital city was rolling, as if the clouds had fallen straight for nine days.

I could barely see a figure five feet away, but I couldn't tell the difference between men and women. Ten feet away, you can only hear human voices, and you can't see anything at all.

"Old man, others say that you are a half-immortal, why didn't you count it as foggy today?"

"Back then, Zhuge Liang took advantage of the fog to borrow arrows, and the eight kings had fog to help attack the central capital today, I think this is a good sign. ”

"But there was a lot of white space all around, and I didn't see anything. Where is the city wall? I can't even see the target clearly, how can I command the battle? I heard that the central capital is very large, just like Nanjing and Jingshi. Now that I haven't even seen the city gates, let alone seen the vital points, this battle can't be fought. ”

"It's the first time I've come here, and I've heard of it in Zhongducheng, but I've never seen it. I don't know how big the walls are. ”

"The whole army was marched on the fifth watch, and it was pitch black at that time, and no fog was found. When the day dawns, the result is like this, isn't it in vain today?"

At this moment, a loud voice that vibrated within a radius of five miles came through the thick fog: "Is it Brother Zhang Xianzhong in front?

Last night, after an hour of intense planning, Xiong Chu, Sheng Kexue, and Chen Hongzu found that the biggest problem was that they had no military power.

Even if Xiong Chu finally came up with a way to break the net, it would still be nonsense if no one implemented it.

At the last moment, Sheng Kexue finally stood up: "Originally, my task was secret, mainly to secretly supervise officials at all levels in the central capital, and be directly responsible to the emperor, but I can't interfere with their decision-making at ordinary times." ”

"Now that the fish are dead, everyone is tied to the same boat. At today's life-and-death juncture, I can only reveal my identity and take coercive measures against the governor, prefect, and generals defending the city. ”

"From now on, the defense of the city will be borne by me, and it will be carried out strictly according to Childe's methods. Outside the city, Gongzi was in charge, and Lord Chen's 500 cavalry obeyed the command. If you want to live together, if you want to die, you will die together. ”

In fact, the only way for Xiong Chu to survive in death is only one word: gambling.

The three of them counted all the forces in the city, and there were only more than 4,700 people in total, and no matter how much they fought, they could not deal with the enemy's more than 100,000 people.

If there were a complete city, more than 4,700 people would be able to deal with it for a while as long as they held on to the main gates and walls.

However, there is just no city wall in the middle capital, which means that no one can stand on the city wall, at least not at least. Except for the eight gates, which have towers on them, the rest of the lots cannot be defended by the city.

If the enemy knew this truth and did not attack the city gate at all, but simply found a section of the city wall and directly demolished it, the entire middle capital city would have completely fallen.

It is precisely because there are many enemies that if they are scattered and climb the city on all sides, this battle will not be able to be fought at all, so Xiong Chu decided to gamble once.

The way to gamble is to not let the enemy divide his troops, and lure the enemy to attack from only one direction, so that he can maneuver for about three days.

Moreover, it is necessary to bet that the enemy will directly attack the nearest west gate, and as for the other city gates, they have been blocked with bricks and wood overnight.

Of course, this gamble is extremely risky. Once the bet is lost, it will be co-existing with the middle capital.

Because of this, Prince Xiong asked Sheng Kexue to use the channel of Jinyiwei to transmit secret news and immediately ask for help from nearby states and counties. You don't need many reinforcements from nearby, you just need to make a big noise from the inside direction and play the role of a suspicious strategy.

Of course, there are still some chips for bear bank gambling.

First, because Xiong Chu had already destroyed the enemy's troops that were ready to join forces inside and outside, the enemy should not know about this yet, because except for Sheng Kexue, even Chen Hongzu Qianhu didn't know.

If the people he sent into the city did not play the slightest role in the end, the enemy would certainly be a little confused, and the battle plan would not necessarily be carried out to the end.

Second, gather all the forces together, and there will be nearly 5,000 men near the western wall. This may give the enemy the illusion that the defenders of the central capital are likely to exceed 20,000 men.

Third, an army of more than 100,000 people, it is an astronomical number for people to eat and chew. The enemy's profess, from afar, is conducive to quick combat, which is the most basic principle of the art of war.

If the enemy in front of him is the army of a hostile country, Xiong Chu naturally does not dare to gamble, because the army of the hostile country has perfect logistical support measures.

As the saying goes: if there is no food for the army, it will be in vain.

The enemy in front of him was just a group of rogues, and everything he ate was brought with him, so Xiong Chu judged that the enemy would not last long.

All the people do their own things according to the requirements of Xiong Chu, and Xiong Chu also has to do one thing: salute first and then soldier.

The best way to delay time, of course, is to salute first and then soldier, and everyone first distinguishes a high and low in their mouths.

Xiong Chu didn't expect that today would be a heavy fog, which was simply a natural disaster and a man-made disaster. The most classic blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not singular.

In the fog, it is impossible to see what the enemy is doing, and it is impossible to judge how the enemy will attack the city.

If you don't know how the enemy is attacking, you can't prepare for defense in advance, let alone target. For the extremely fragile defense capability of the central capital, it is simply worse.

As soon as Xiong Chu came out of the city, he saw a vast white mist in front of him, and he didn't know where the enemy was, and his heart suddenly beat suddenly.

After Prince Xiong rushed out of the west gate with Yan Erniang, Mandale, three people and three horses, he just heard the neighing of horses in the dense fog on the opposite side, proving that there must be enemies in the west.

Is the enemy in the west the enemy's main force or not? Therefore, Xiong Chu raised his internal strength and shouted: "Is it Brother Zhang Xianzhong in front?

Not to mention, this fog is a disaster for the defending troops, and it is also a disaster for the army of rogues who don't know the details.

According to common sense, there must be enough defenders on top of a large city.

What the walls look like now, the enemy can't see clearly.

Because he couldn't see clearly, he hadn't even figured out the direction, and he hadn't found the location of the city gate, so he didn't dare to move.

If you casually rush into the city and choose a siege site that happens to be aimed at the place where the artillery of the defending forces is the fiercest, isn't it looking for your own death?

As soon as Xiong Chu's words fell, Hula suddenly rushed out of the dense fog with five hundred cavalry.

Because they wanted to see the other side clearly, the cavalry that the enemy rushed out came to a stop about ten zhang in front of Xiong Chu.

Then a phalanx was formed, leaving a narrow passage in the middle, about the width of four horses.

Xiong Chu looked at it, and the leading general was none other than Zhang Jinjia, the second king of yesterday, holding a bright silver spear in his right hand.

It didn't take long for two white horses to rush over in the passage, and the Xiong Chu saw it at this time, one of them was Zhang Xianzhong, a double knife who had been separated for more than ten years.

I haven't seen him for more than ten years, and Zhang Xianzhong's face has not changed, but he has a beard under his chin, and the whole person looks even more lean. There are two ghost-headed broadswords hanging on both sides of the saddle bridge, which are still things that Xiong Chu has seen before.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Xianzhong did not rush outside the phalanx, but stopped with two horses still there, it seems that he was very careful.

"Oh, it's really the son of Hachiro, it really makes the little brother miss it tightly!" Zhang Xianzhong clenched his fists with both hands, his face was very enthusiastic, but the words he said were out of shape: "It's a pity that now that the armor is on his body, the little brother can't give a big gift to the son." ”

Xiong Chu smiled: "What Hachiro Gongzi, I'm just a little killer, and I don't care about tomorrow after today." If you really want to talk about it, this time flies so fast, when Fengling crossed a farewell, it was more than ten years in the blink of an eye. The Zhang brothers have already commanded thousands of troops and horses to dominate the world, and they are powerful in all directions. ”

Xiong Chu said something, Zhang Xianzhong's face was slightly embarrassed, but he quickly nodded and said, "Alas, this person is really unclear." The lone wolf with the fiery silver sword, what a good man, but it's a pity that it's gone. ”

Zhang Xianzhong used to be a subordinate of the lone wolf of the Flame Silver Sword, and the Xiong Chu had a life-saving grace for all of them in Qinglong Mountain in Hangu Pass.

Lone Wolf once said that everyone under his command, including himself, would obey the orders of Prince Hachiro in the future. Zhang Xianzhong himself said this sentence back then.

Zhang Xianzhong said that the lone wolf was dead, and the implication was of course very clear: the lone wolf is dead, and people are dying like lights going out. He told me to listen to your orders, but now he doesn't count.

Xiong Chu nodded: "Big brother Lone Wolf died a well-deserved death, died a heroic death, and I have already avenged him." Tens of thousands of people were killed by me for the rebellion of Tibet, and the lone wolf brother has a spirit in the sky and can rest in peace. ”

Speaking of this, Prince Xiong's words turned around: "Brother Zhang, why are you so enthusiastic that you don't hesitate to use 100,000 people to come?"

Zhang Xianzhong smiled: "Balang Gongzi is still so fond of joking, don't you really know what I'm doing here? On the contrary, I don't know anything about my little brother, it is said that Balang Gongzi has always been active in Yunnan, I don't know why he suddenly appeared in Zhongdu City?"

"Also, the rumors in the rivers and lakes are conclusive, I have even seen the sea fishing documents of the imperial court, and it seems that the prince of Hachiro is a rebel of the imperial court. I don't understand, how could Hachiro Gongzi help the official army beat my brother?"

Xiong Chu nodded secretly when he heard this: Zhang Xianzhong's mouth is much more powerful than before, and he can be so skillful in asking guilt in person.

"Since Brother Zhang has seen the sea fishing documents of the imperial court, he should know that I have another name, called Zhu Shengxin. Since I am a child of the Zhu family, isn't this my ancestor Sangzi land? So I have to come back every year to worship my ancestors. ”

Speaking of this, Prince Xiong smiled slightly: "To be honest, when I heard that the next person came to report that it was Brother Zhang who led the army over, I thought it was for the sake of the brotherhood of the year, and I gave my ancestors three sticks of incense." ”

"That's why I sent a special letter to ask my brother to come and talk about it. But my brother who delivered the letter has not come back yet, so I heard that Brother Zhang has come to the west gate, so I came to ask. ”

When Prince Xiong said this, Zhang Xianzhong's face suddenly became gloomy, and he stared at Zhang Jinjia, the second king in front of the battle, without a trace.

Looking very annoyed, Zhang Xianzhong rubbed his hands and said: "It's really a shame, the little brother may be too tired from running two hundred miles in a row, and after delivering the letter to me, he fell to his death on the way back, what a pity." ”

Xiong Chu's face sank: "Brother Zhang, we all came out of the rivers and lakes, you don't even believe in this reason, can you make others believe it?"

Unexpectedly, Zhang Xianzhong hadn't spoken yet, and Zhang Jinjia, the second king in front of the phalanx, suddenly shouted: "You helped the official army to sneak attack yesterday, and I won and lost." On the way back, I ran into that kid, and I didn't like it and picked it up, what can you do?"

"You picked my brother?" Prince Xiong glanced at the second king, Zhang Jinjia, with slanted eyes.

The second king, Zhang Jinjia, didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and he waved a silver spear in his right hand and shouted arrogantly: "I just used this gun to pick him, what can you do?"

Xiong Chu shook his head: "Not much." If you pick him, then you will die!"

Before the bear prince could finish speaking, the flame lion of Mandeli on the right hand had already rushed out.

With both hands pressed on the saddle bridge, Mandeli's body had already flown up, and with the help of the inertia of the impact of the war horse, she had already fallen behind the second king, Zhang Jinjia.

Mandeli pinched his left shoulder with her left hand, and with her right hand, she had already grabbed the bright silver spear in her hand, and then with her feet on horseback, she had already twisted Zhang Jinjia and jumped onto the back of the flame lion that was rushing over.

With a swipe, Mandeli's left arm shook, and she had already thrown Zhang Jinjia into the sky, and at the same time, with a flick of her right hand, the bright silver spear shot up like lightning.

Poof--The bright silver spear had already stabbed Zhang Jinjia in mid-air.
