The capital city is right in front of you, and all the ten rooms along the road are empty.
The rich moved into the capital, and those who had no money and moved early sneaked into the capital. Those who had no money and moved late fled in all directions. I don't know where to escape, but I can't wait to die where I am.
It's just that the Tatars came so fast that many people still had no time to escape. They could only watch in despair as the Tatar cavalry got closer, closer, closer...
Then he rushed past their villages and crop fields from a distance without even looking at them.
The people were shocked, what happened? Didn’t they say that the Tatars came to burn, kill and loot? Why does it look like you are here for a horse racing competition?
Seeing the dark clouds of Tatar cavalry blowing by like a black wind, someone among the people suggested: "Let's run quickly, maybe they didn't see us..."
Another commoner who was covered in patches looked at the most magnificent courtyard in the village: "The Wang Laocai family is running around and crawling. There should be a lot of good things left!"
"you mean?"
"Anyway, we only have one life, so this life can be saved. This old bastard is rich and unkind, let's rob him for the Tatars!"
"Wang Laocai's son is working as a pawnbroker in the county town. He wants to arrest us when he comes back!"
"I'm afraid of nothing. Just say it was the Tatars. If we don't say anything, who knows? We can set fire to it after the robbery is over!"
"……OK."
An Dahan looked at the fire that lit up from time to time behind him, and yelled angrily.
"Didn't Mr. Xiao give an order not to plunder along the way and waste time? Which team dares to disobey? Let me see the Warriors!"
The warriors were the bodyguards of the Tatar cavalry who guarded the Great Khan. They also shouldered functions similar to those of the disciplinary troops. At that moment, the two warriors turned their horses' heads, ran backwards, and ran back after a while.
"Dear Khan, no one disobeyed. We all rushed over directly. I don't know why there was a fire later."
Xiao Qin's horse followed up from behind and smiled calmly: "Don't worry about it, I've seen this kind of thing a lot."
Anda Khan and Xiao Qin walked side by side and glanced at the "luxury car" surrounded by dozens of cavalry.
"We are about to arrive in the capital. Is Mr. Xiao sure that he will get the things? If he is lying to us, what should we do?"
Xiao Qin smiled and said: "He lied to us just to survive, and we were deceived just to speed up our journey. If we are really deceived in the end, then we can just loot around the capital before King Qin's troops arrive. Wouldn’t it be nice to retreat?”
An Dahan nodded: "But no matter what, we can't let the tiger go back to the mountain. If it comes to a last resort, please ask Mr. Xiao to weigh the priorities and put the most important things first."
Xiao Qin's smile became a little bitter, but in the end she nodded: "I know it well."
The Tatar troops finally arrived on the outskirts of the imperial city. Ding Rukui and Lu Bing stood on the city wall, each holding a telescope, and could already see the Tatar forward troops.
"They are indeed aiming for the WTO view! It seems that our intelligence blockade work has been done very well!" Ding Rukui clenched his fists excitedly.
Lu Bing nodded: "The Jinyi Guards persisted on various wild roads until this morning, and they evacuated only after seeing the smoke and dust of the Tatars. In such a short period of time, no one could spread the news about the ambush of the World View!"
Ding Rukui looked at the cavalry team ready to go inside the city gate, and silently estimated the opening and closing time of the city gate. Although he has done many simulations, anything can happen on the real battlefield.
In case something went wrong, for example the Tatar cavalry moved faster than expected, the speed at which the gates closed was affected by certain factors. For example, the person watching the city gate has a stomachache today and his hands and feet are weak?
If the Tatars are invincible and quickly overwhelm the Ming army's cavalry, can it really be guaranteed that the Tatars will never be able to rush into the city?
No one can answer this question for Ding Rukui. He can only rely on his own judgment to take risks. The only one who can give him some support is probably Xiao Feng.
The person who asked me to send troops out of the city for a decisive battle was Xiao Feng! There must be a reason for him to say that, right? Yes, it must make sense. Although he didn't give me a word test, he must have a reason! He is Xiao Feng!
The Tatar cavalry rushed to the Wise Temple five miles away from the city. The gate of the Wise Temple was closed tightly. They seemed to be frightened by the endless Tatar cavalry and made no move.
Xiao Qin divided 10,000 troops and stared in the direction of the imperial city to prevent the opponent from sending troops to attack. Let another ten thousand people surround the WTO viewing group. In this dark mass of cavalry, it looks like a small rock in the stormy sea.
Xiao Qin knocked on Xiao Feng's car window, and Xiao Feng got out of the car with a yawn.
"It's very fast. You didn't rest all the way. You have dark circles under your eyes. Lack of sleep is bad for your health." Xiao Feng looked at his brother Qin with concern.
Xiao Qin smiled slightly: "You have seen the world, call them out, lest we kill them and there will be no one alive."
Xiao Feng did not refuse, and strode to the gate of the Wise Temple. He patted the door and shouted: "The Tatars are coming. Master Second Temple, if you want to survive, please open the door."
There was no movement for a long time, Xiao Feng walked back helplessly, smiled bitterly at Xiao Qin and said: "You saw it, I guess I heard that you were coming, so I was scared away. You'd better open the door, you can only go in and see if he has Run away with the Book of Heaven."
Xiao Qin stared at Xiao Feng, and Xiao Feng looked at Xiao Qin. The two looked at each other for a long time before Xiao Qin slowly raised her hand: "Bump the door!"
The Tatars have eight horses to drag a huge log. This is their weapon for attacking small city defenses. When he heard the order, he immediately lifted the log up, pointed it at the mountain gate, and made a quick charge.
The log hit the mountain gate heavily, causing the entire mountain gate to tremble and making a dull loud noise. Amidst this loud noise, a high-pitched horn sound, accompanied by earth-shattering drums, suddenly sounded!
Arrows rained like rain, muskets roared, and countless Ming troops suddenly appeared on the walls of the WTO Temple, frantically firing at the Tatar cavalry surrounding the WTO Temple.
The Tatars never expected that there would be so many Ming troops ambushing a Taoist temple, nor did they expect that the great prairie cavalry army was pressing down on the border, and that there were still Ming troops who dared to stay outside the city!
Caught off guard, he was beaten so hard that he finally ended the chaos and aggressively began to attack the World View.
As soon as I hit the Tatars, I realized something was wrong. Is this a Taoist temple? Whose Taoist temple needs to be built so solidly? Are you afraid that monsters will climb over the wall to take revenge?
The arrows were unable to penetrate the wall, and the knife left a white mark on the wall. The wooden door that was originally intended to be quickly knocked down with logs actually withstood more than a dozen impacts!
Of course, climbing up the wall with a ladder is indispensable. The World View is not a city defense fortress after all, and there are no cannons on the wall. But the Ming troops on the wall were all elite soldiers selected by Ding Rukui, and they slashed with the Tatars with their swords, which was not false at all.
The advantage of the Tatars lies in their horses. In this kind of ladder-climbing siege battle, the advantage is not so obvious. Although there are many people, it is difficult to win the World View in a very short time. And time is not on their side.
Ding Rukui wanted to order the cavalry to attack the city several times, but was dissuaded by Lu Bing. Lu Bing found that although the Tatars were besieging the World View, they only used about 5,000 people. The remaining 15,000 cavalry were ready to charge at any time, with their horses' heads facing outward.
There were 15,000 Tatar cavalry. The capital's cavalry originally had 15,000, but 5,000 were allocated to Qi Jiguang and Xiao Feng. At this time, there were only 10,000 cavalry in the city.
Ten thousand Ming cavalry would definitely be unable to defeat fifteen thousand Tatar cavalry. If the cavalry cannot withstand the opponent's rapid charge and the gate is not closed in time, allowing the Tatar cavalry to rush into the capital, something serious will happen.
Although the WTO view has contained the enemy's forces, it is still very risky to open the city gate and attack at this time. Lu Bing just discussed the matter. But Ding Rukui was already worried.
Although the World View is strong, it is too small after all. There are only 4,000 Ming troops inside. They can withstand it for a while, but not for long. This kind of fighter opportunity is fleeting!
Xiao Feng once told himself not to be cowardly and to do it with the Tatars, but he didn't tell himself how to do it! When will you do it? What position do you use?
At this moment, Lu Bing, who was holding the telescope, suddenly shouted in surprise, and then leaned forward, as if he could see more clearly.
Ding Rukui also quickly looked in that direction. To the east of the city, in the direction of Tongzhou, smoke and dust were billowing, flags were flying, and countless cavalrymen were galloping towards them.
"Is this the Tatars' back-up plan? They entered Gubeikou with 30,000 people, but only 20,000 came. Now the 10,000 cavalry behind them have also arrived?"
Ding Rukui's face was earth-colored. If that were the case, he would never be able to open the city to fight the enemy. In this way, all his toughness and persistence in the court turned into sins.
Later, outside the capital, corpses littered the fields, and fires shot into the sky. Banzai would definitely pour out his humiliating anger on himself, and Yan Song, regardless of whether he would help him in the past, would definitely only add insult to injury now.
Who made Xiao Feng, who took a clear-cut stand this time, go against Yan Song?
Master Xiao, Master Xiao, I have made you suffer!
Just when Ding Rukui was about to collapse, three big flags emerged from the dust and smoke. Ding Rukui's eyesight was not good enough to see clearly, but Lu Bing had already seen it.
"Master Ding, this is the flag of Qi Jiguang and Qiu Luan. Look at this posture, there are ten thousand people!"
Xiao Qin, who was besieging the WTO Temple in the east of the city, naturally saw it more clearly than they did. At this time, Qi Jiguang's cavalry team rushed to the front and could clearly see the opponent's flag without a telescope!
Xiao Qin's heart sank, and she looked at Xiao Feng in disbelief, but Xiao Feng had already returned to the carriage, and she could still hear him humming a little tune, and vaguely heard a few words: "... Xiaonu, I'm so sad~~~I'm so sad Ahh..."
What the fuck is this song!
Xiao Qin gritted his teeth and ordered the 10,000 cavalry to turn around and respond to Qi Jiguang's team! The opponent's team is only about 10,000, and with the same number of cavalry, you can definitely eat up your opponent! 33
Although this is a bit risky, there are only 5,000 cavalry facing the capital, but Xiao Qin bets that the defenders in the capital will not dare to open the city gate!
Because Yan Shifan said that his father and his son would be able to convince Jiajing that safety should be the first priority, and he would not be able to open the door if he was beaten to death, and he would not be able to stand up!
On the top of the city, Ding Rukui suddenly pulled out his sword: "Open the city gate, the cavalry will attack!"
Some people died, but not completely...
