"I know this big defeat. This is the biggest reason why Wu Qianqiu was demoted from the general of Longwu Army to the rank of general of Yecheng. It is also a rare defeat in the north. This is also the biggest reason why Chahan Timur, the former king of Ruyang One of the military merits. But the records here are really vague. Who is the commander of the Tiance Army? What is his current position?! Could it be related to Wu Qianqiu?!"
Such files are too vague. It would be great if we could check the Ministry of War files now.
"Han Shanggong, you have to do me a favor!"
Yu Yanyi pulled Han Sumi to the side.
"Bachelor Yu, please tell me!"
When Yu Yanyi asked for help, Han Sumi would naturally not refuse, but would be very happy.
"The Jinyi Guards in Jinyang City are no longer trustworthy at this moment. I need your help to pass on the information and go to the Ministry of War in the capital to inquire about this file."
Han Sumi nodded. As the leader of the Lijing Sect, although her main duty was to guard the palace, she still had this authority.
"Don't worry, Bachelor Yu, I'll do it right away!"
Yu Yanyi nodded, then turned around and walked out. It was not advisable to wait for the news.
He will continue to search the files.
------------------
The Jinyi guards arrived at Beijingmen holding Yu Yanyi's arrow.
But at this time, Xiang Ming, the guard at Beijing Gate, was not at the north gate.
"Where is General Xiang?!" The leading Jin Yiwei felt that something was wrong.
"General Xiang took his people to Beidingmen to discuss matters with General Chen." Beijingmen's deputy general explained.
"But Yu Shuai has given strict instructions to be careful tonight to guard against night attacks by Mohe troops. How could he leave his post without permission?!"
"This?! This is a military order that we have not received from the Grand Master!?"
Looking at the confused lieutenant, Jin Yiwei Baihu knew that something was wrong.
They are different from the people at Jinyang Jinyi Guardhouse. They are all close associates brought by Xuanwu from Fusi, Beizhen, and they know the critical situation in the city at this moment.
Just when a few people didn't know what to do, they saw someone approaching with hundreds of soldiers in the distance.
The deputy general and others immediately became alert. Could it be that this person came to open the city gate and lead the Mohe soldiers into the city? !
Just when everyone was on guard, they saw clearly the face of the person coming under the firelight.
"Vice General Zhao?!"
Everyone was stunned when they saw the person coming.
Unexpectedly, the visitor turned out to be Zhao Qian, the deputy general of Beidingmen guard Chen An.
"Vice General Zhao, you are not on duty at Beidingmen. Why did you come here at night?"
Zhao Qian suddenly came with his troops, making everyone suspicious.
But Zhao Qian opposite him also had a confused expression.
"I was ordered to come to support you!"
"ah?!"
After the two sides looked at each other, they fell into a brief silence.
"Our General Chen received a request for help from General Xiang, saying that someone wanted to attack Beijingmen, so I led five hundred elite soldiers to come to the rescue. After my general arranges the defense of Beijingmen, he will personally lead the three thousand Source of elite soldiers. But this..."
Zhao Qian didn't say anything else, but everyone knew it.
Xiang Ming said that Beijingmen, which was attacked by a sneak attack, was quiet and shameless at the moment, and did not look like it was attacked by a sneak attack at all.
"Is there no sneak attack here?!"
Zhao Qian asked awkwardly.
Everyone present felt that something was wrong.
There are 180,000 troops under Yu Yanyi's command. After excluding the soldiers and horses arranged in the northern and southern counties, there are a total of 100,000 soldiers and horses in Jinyang City.
One hundred thousand troops sounds like a lot, but they have to defend the eight gates and all the city walls of Jinyang City. There are also 20,000 people who have been used by Yu Yanyi as a reserve team. In other words, the eight gates of Jinyang are now The number of soldiers and horses is only 80,000.
Among them, Dongzhengmen and Dongzhaomen were attacked the most fiercely, with 15,000 and 20,000 people respectively.
Beijingmen and Beidingmen were not the key targets of the Mohe army, and there were not many troops stationed there.
There are seven thousand in Beijingmen and eight thousand in Beidingmen.
According to what Zhao Qian said now, there were nearly 4,000 troops coming to support Beidingmen. Wouldn't the defense of Beidingmen be weakened by nearly half? !
The generals immediately realized that the so-called attack on Beijingmen was just a cover to mobilize the troops from Beidingmen, leaving Beidingmen's defense power empty.
"..."
"Not good! Beidingmen is in danger! We need help!"
The deputy general in charge of Beijingmen also wanted to understand the situation. Just when everyone was shocked and suspicious, suddenly a shocking cry of death came from the direction of Beijingmen.
"I will leave 3,000 troops to protect the safety of Beijing Gate. Vice General Zhao, I will lend you the remaining 4,000 troops to ensure that Beiding Gate is not lost."
Although Beijingmen's deputy general knew that his troops were also weak, he still took the initiative and lent four thousand troops to Zhao Qian.
Now is not the time to fight alone. Once Beiding Gate is lost, everyone will have to finish.
All the members of the Jinyi Guards also stood up immediately and said, "Everyone, please go immediately and report to your Excellency and the Xuanwu Commander!"
----------
Beidingmen.
Xiang Ming was a little irritable. He was invited here by Chen An, the guard of Beiding Gate, but after arriving, he did not see Chen An.
He has a close friendship with Chen An, and the two sides have often referred to each other's defense recently. He will come to Beidingmen in his spare time to learn Chen An's city defense strategies; the same goes for Chen An.
But this is the first time I have waited for such a long time.
At first, Xiang Ming could wait because the sergeant at Beidingmen prepared a table of delicious food for him and asked him to wait while Chen An was counting the ordnance.
Xiang Ming didn't care. Who hasn't been busy with military affairs? !
But now that all the dishes on the table have been eaten, Chen An, the leader of the Beiding Sect, is still not seen, which makes Xiang Ming feel anxious.
"Where did your general go?!"
The soldier on the side also looked embarrassed. Chen An told him to entertain Xiang Ming with food and wine first, and he would come later.
"General Xiang, I really don't know! My general just asked me to entertain you, and he will be back soon."
"you……"
Just after Xiang Ming wanted to scold the soldier, a loud noise interrupted his scolding.
"Catapult!? It's a sneak attack by the Mohe people!"
Xiang Ming immediately rushed towards the city wall from the residences under the city tower.
Then, a heavy horn horn sounded, as if to prove Xiang Ming's guess.
"Rocket!"
The soldiers on duty on the city wall also immediately launched a counterattack. Hundreds of rockets flew into the sky. Under the firelight of the rockets, the densely packed Mohe soldiers below could be seen clearly.
----------------------------
At this time, Beijingmen's defense seemed a little lax.
Originally, there were 7,000 men and horses stationed here, but Zhao Qian took away 4,000 men. The 3,000 men guarding Beijingmen seemed to be insufficient.
At the beginning, the soldiers at Beijingmen were still a little nervous, and there were constant shouts of killing coming from the direction of Beidingmen.
The soldiers at Beijingmen were worried that Beidingmen would also be attacked.
However, as time went by, everyone's worries gradually eased!
Looking at Mohe's posture, it was obvious that he wanted to gather his forces to attack Beidingmen. In this way, Beijingmen would be safe.
Just when everyone was relaxing, they found someone approaching in the darkness.
"who!"
"Don't be nervous, it's me!" A familiar voice made the guard guard immediately lower his guard.
It turned out that... just halfway through speaking, the soldiers guarding the gate were attacked by the people brought by this person.
All are fatal with one knife.
The torch that fell to the ground revealed this person's true appearance.
The guards under the city tower heard the noise under the city gate and asked.
"What happened!?"
"Nothing?! I accidentally tripped."
The soldiers on the tower immediately cursed angrily, "Be careful, don't be surprised, you may make you sick!"
…
-----------------------
Xiang Ming was on the tower of Beiding Gate, looking at the Mohe soldiers coming like a tide with doubts on his face.
Although the Mohe people shouted loudly to kill, they still couldn't get close to the city wall for a long time. The thunder was loud and the raindrops were light.
This situation makes Xiang Ming very confused. Is this a feint attack? !
But there was no movement from other directions of the city gate. What was the purpose of this Mohe man? !
Just when Xiang Ming was confused, he suddenly saw the words Beiding Gate on the tower.
He is the chief general of Beijingmen, but now he appears at Beidingmen, so it is obvious where the Mohe people's main attack direction is.
"He immediately flew down from the tower, mounted a fast horse, and rushed towards Beijingmen."
Just when Xiang Ming was flying, he suddenly encountered a large group of soldiers and horses coming from the direction of Beijingmen.
The leader was none other than Zhao Qian.
"General Xiang!"
Zhao Qian's hand was already on the handle of the knife.
Seeing the large group of soldiers and horses, Xiang Ming already understood that this was a plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain.
"It's too late to say anything about the Mohe people's tricks. Return to Beijingmen immediately to help!"
Zhao Qian originally wanted to capture Xiang Ming, but at this moment, his expression didn't look like he was faking, and his father, Xiang Chong, was famous in the north.
Zhao Qian decided to believe Xiang Ming for once!
"Turn around and support Beijingmen!"
--------------------------------------------------
"What?!"
Yu Yanyi was slightly angry when he heard the reward from the Hundreds of Jin Yiwei. After Xiang Ming was a hero in the founding of the country, his father, Pengcheng Bo Xiang Chong, was the pioneer general of King Kaiping. He was brave and loyal.
Although the emperor cut off the titles of the Xiang family, this was not a heavy punishment, but an extrajudicial mercy.
Xiang Ming formed a clique for personal gain, controlled water transportation, and evaded taxes. He was punished for several crimes and was punished by beheading according to law. His family members were exiled for three thousand miles.
However, Emperor Zhou, in recognition of his father's military exploits, spared no effort and only removed his title, took back his mansion, and allowed him to serve in the Longwu Army.
Unexpectedly, Xiang Ming would betray Zhou Dynasty now, and his crime was unforgivable.
Just when Yu Yanyi was angry, the sound of horns and shouts of death came from the direction of Beidingmen.
"No, the Mohe people are attacking the city. You should immediately send an order to the general to mobilize 5,000 reserve troops to go to Beidingmen to assist in the defense."
All of a sudden, the army in the city started to move.
After giving the order, Yu Yanyi sat in front of the desk and looked at the Jinyang city defense map on the table. Everything about tonight appeared in Yu Yanyi's mind like a revolving lantern.
Although he is not good at reasoning and solving cases, everything tonight is weird.
Wu Qianqiu? ! Tiance Army? ! Xiang Ming? !
"Chen An! He is from the Tiance Army." Yu Yanyi immediately stood up and ordered, "Deploy another five thousand soldiers and horses to Beijingmen. At the same time, Chen An, the general of Beidingmen, came to see me."
This matter is not as simple as they see.
…
----------
As the torches of the guarding soldiers fell, the people who attacked and killed the soldiers guarding Beijingmen also revealed their true colors in the light of the fire.
It was Chen An, the guard of Beiding Gate.
He and Xiang Ming had a close friendship. They often exchanged city defense strategies with each other and often came to Beijingmen. Because of this, Chen An was able to approach and kill them easily.
"Hurry up to the place where the brothers are ambushing and light five signal arrows. Place them side by side. I will open the city gate here to welcome the Mohe people into the city."
Chen An led his men to drag the body of the gatekeeper to the shadows, and immediately gave orders to his confidants.
"Yes!" Two of them immediately ran towards a house in the distance. After a moment, five signal arrows soared into the sky side by side.
While Chen An was anxiously waiting for the Mohe people to advance, a voice startled him.
"Huh?! Uncle Chen, why are you here?!" Xiang Ming's eldest son, Xiang Shoucheng, spoke.
This guy also appeared in the grain draft, but unfortunately, he became Yang Qingyuan's background.
Looking at Xiang Shoucheng who suddenly appeared, Chen An was a little nervous.
"Nephew Xiang Xian, weren't you on duty during the day today? Why didn't you go take a good rest?"
Chen An took the opportunity to make a rough count while he was talking. Xiang Shoucheng had brought eight people with him. He decided to deal with them directly and winked at his confidant. He stepped forward to chat with Chen An.
Xiang Shoucheng pursed his lips and said, "Uncle Chen, don't mention it! I originally wanted to have a good sleep and rest, but then I heard loud shouts of murder from the direction of Beidingmen. I was worried, so I came to take a look. !”
Having said this, Xiang Shoucheng was stunned for a moment.
"Uncle Chen, you are not the chief general of Beiding Gate. Why are you here at this time... huh? Is this the smell of blood?!" Xiang Shoucheng suddenly smelled the smell of blood, and the moment Chen An turned his head, he saw There was blood spattered on Chen An's face. His pupils suddenly shrank.
"Take action!" Chen An ordered action as soon as Xiang Shoucheng sensed something was wrong. He also drew out his sword and slashed at Xiang Shoucheng.
Xiang Shoucheng didn't react for a while, but fortunately, his martial arts skills were still superior to Chen An's, and he was also known for his dexterity and agility. When Chen An struck with a sword, he pulled out half of the long sword at his waist and blocked the sword. , the whole person took advantage of the force and took five steps back.
However, the people he brought did not have the reaction and speed like him. The moment Chen An said to take action, they were attacked and killed by Chen An's subordinates who had got close to them.
When Chen An saw Xiang Shoucheng retreating, he immediately stepped forward to attack. He knew that if he failed to seize the opportunity and Xiang Shoucheng gained a foothold, he might not be able to withstand fifty moves under Xiang Shoucheng's sword.
As soon as Xiang Shoucheng jumped back, he was entangled by Chen An, who was pressing forward. He had no choice but to parry Chen An's Yan Ling Dao again.
"What happened?!"
The soldiers on the tower heard the movement and immediately asked down.
But the only answer he received was the sound of swords blocking each other.
"I'll hold him up! You open the city gate and let Mohe's troops enter the city!" Chen An kept using his sword to suppress Xiang Shoucheng and not give him a chance to counterattack. At the same time, he asked the soldiers who had already dealt with Xiang Shoucheng's men to open the city gate.
"kill!"
"kill!!!"
Outside the originally silent Beijingmen, a huge cry of killing suddenly rang out. In the darkness, the earth trembled slightly. A large group of cavalry was heading towards the city gate of Beijingmen!
