In the study, Mu Tianbo and Wu Zhaoyuan, who were restless, saw Wu Wenying push the door open and come in. They hurriedly came forward and said, "What do you mean, have the two thieves ever let go?"
Although Sha Dingzhou's conspiracy was unsuccessful, the harm caused by improper handling was far greater than that of Wu Bikui's rebellion, because there were thousands of chieftains outside, who could launch a crazy attack on the city at any time. The consequences and triggers The chaos was extremely terrifying, so Mu Tianbo and the others had already made up their mind before they went to see Sha Dingzhou. To be honest, they really didn’t dare to kill Sha Dingzhou, at least at this moment, they couldn’t kill him. They would wait for the future, but they must do it now. The peace talks are procrastinating, but we cannot take the initiative to seek peace. It would be too humiliating and would allow Sha Dingzhou to take the initiative.
Wu Wenying repeated the conversation with Sha Dingzhou just now, and Mu Tianbo slammed the table: "This thief is really cunning."
"That Tang Jianjia is more scheming. Now we and that thief are wary of each other, but it will be very detrimental to us if we stand for a long time!" Wu Wenying sighed again, and Mu Tianbo said sternly: "If he doesn't let go before dawn, we will kill him to sacrifice the flag. !”
"No!" Wu Zhaoyuan quickly advised.
"Do you really think that Sha Dingzhou can defeat the city with those mobs?" Mu Tianbo shouted: "Don't say whether the tens of thousands of reinforcements he mentioned were a lie to us, or what if they were true. Although there are not enough soldiers and horses in the city, There are thousands of young men, and Prince Mu’s Mansion ascended high and shouted to them to hold on to their homeland, maybe they still can’t hold on to the city of Kunming!”
"Guo Gong!" Wu Zhaoyuan stamped his foot: "Whether the defense can't be defended is another matter, but once a fight breaks out, the consequences are unimaginable. Wu Bikui will take the opportunity to ally with him, and Zhang Xianzhong will most likely take advantage of it. Enter, and other toasts Bao Buqi will also respond!"
"I hate it!" When Mu Tianbo heard this, he also stomped his feet, shook his hand and knocked down the meteor hammer in his sleeve, smashing a piece of the table in front of him, making Er Wu pale in shock.
Wu Wenying hurried forward to comfort him: "It is better to vent anger or hatred later. Now we must be fully prepared to prevent all kinds of unexpected events, and even prepare for the worst..."
That night, the people in Kunming City were in panic. Prince Mu's Mansion first ordered a curfew and martial law, and then began to search for thieves from house to house. When did thieves enter the city? The people were puzzled, but from time to time there were angry shouts and sounds of fighting that were so real. They thought it would be over, but then the directors of the sub-district offices started knocking on doors again to ask the young men to gather, prepare for the battle and go to the city, and help. Defend the city!
What, defending the city?
Could it be that Wu Bikui called?
Didn't it mean that Wu Bikui was beaten back to Yuanmou? Why, he turned defeat into victory again?
For a time, panic was everywhere in the city, and there was chaos everywhere.
Mu Tianbo originally thought he could wait until dawn, but Wanshi didn't give him so much time at all.
Not to mention that Wan is also a character. In terms of ability, she is far inferior to a heroine like Qin Liangyu, but she is both a woman and has a strong sixth sense.
She led her troops to wait outside the city for a long time. When she saw that it was already midnight and there was no movement, she knew something was wrong. Then she sneaked up the mountain to observe. At the same time, she ordered Iron Tiger to lead more than a hundred riders to call outside the Dadong Gate to test the situation. Virtual reality.
News came quickly from both groups, but neither was good news.
Those who climbed up to observe found that the city was full of firelight, not the firelight that was lost, but thousands of households lighting up!
What does this mean? There are lights everywhere at this time, indicating that we are searching for something!
The evidence from Iron Tiger is more direct: the city gate suspension bridge has been pulled up!
Kunming City has a moat, which uses the water of Dianchi Lake in the southwest to protect the city. Of the six city gates, only the south gate, the west gate, and the north gate have permanent bridges. The rest, especially the east of the city, is deep in the mountains and the terrain is high, so suspension bridges are built.
Why did the suspension bridge suddenly be pulled up? Iron Tiger immediately sneaked around the city to check other city gates and found that all the suspension bridges were pulled up, and there were also flames on the city wall. Shandong people were looking at the shadows. At this time, Wan was a fool and knew that there were people in the city. Something unexpected happened, not to mention she was much smarter than a fool.
Something happened in the city, and Sha Dingzhou was in danger!
After a brief discussion with several tiger generals, Wan took action immediately. While sending people to Mengzi to dispatch reinforcements, he also sneaked to Yuanmou to contact Wu Bikui. This had been discussed long ago. If the matter was exposed, he would contact Wu Bikui. Kui teamed up to work together, and Wu Bikui was very happy to join forces at this time. As for Zhang Xianzhong, to be honest, they would not dare to contact Zhang Xianzhong until they were cornered, because the big tiger would eat them together!
At the same time, Wan ordered his four generals to divide their troops and surround Kunming. He stopped pretending and showed his trump card!
Five thousand chieftain soldiers surrounded Kunming from all sides. They first ensured that no one in the city could come out to report the news, and then set up a posture outside Dadongmen to prepare for an attack. They used powerful crossbows, hard-working muskets and small cannons. The indigenous people mostly made a living by hunting. Each of them has a native musket, and although the power and range of their small native cannons are not as good as the imperial court's standard firearms, it is extremely difficult to win based on quantity.
The range of the native artillery was insufficient, so Wan ordered people to drag them to the top of the hill and take a condescending view of the city. Then he personally led more than a thousand soldiers and horses to form an array outside the Dadong Gate. Fight in and wash out the city of Kunming with blood!
Mu Tianbo and others in Prince Mu's Mansion heard the sound of the cannons, and knew what had happened without the need for the guards to report back. He thought to himself that this evil woman was very neat, but she did not panic much, because she had been prepared in advance, and It was just a dream for Wan's troops to break through the city. What Mu Tianbo was worried about was only the consequences in his eyes if a fight broke out.
Faced with Wan's direct attack, the officers and soldiers guarding the city immediately retaliated and fired back directly. Kunming City is a prefectural city and the royal city of Yunnan, so there are red cannons stationed there, and as early as hundreds of years ago when Mu Ying was pacifying Yunnan, It was the use of firearms against the chieftain's elephant soldiers that won the final victory, so the Yunnan soldiers have always focused on firearms suppression.
There were several loud bangs, and the chieftain soldiers outside the city fell on their backs. Wan was shocked. Damn it, it was so powerful when it hit so far. Compared with others, our own firepower was like a shotgun vs. a cannon. He hurriedly ordered to retreat. When they arrived at a safe area, they got angry and fired a volley of fire from more than ten small cannons on the mountain. For a moment, the shells fell like hail on the Dadongmen city. Although the power was not great, those who hit were either dead or injured. The officers and soldiers at the city head Furious, he immediately turned his guns and bombarded the firepower points on the mountain. The other party immediately stopped.
This artillery battle was short but fierce, but the officers and soldiers won a complete victory.
But this was just an appetizer. The military morale of Wan and her chieftain soldiers was not affected. The party defending the city had taken advantage of it, and she also knew that it was impossible to break the city with the few troops on hand. What she did just now Just to express your stance, you will fight without mercy. As long as you fight, no matter what the consequences are, your Prince Mu’s Mansion will be miserable!
Before he knew it, the sky was getting brighter, and Wan sent people to the city to shout. He was still threatening and intimidating. He would not let anyone rescue the siege. He also dispatched troops and sent people to contact Zhang Xianzhong and Wu Bikui, etc. .
At this time, in Prince Mu's palace, Mu Tianbo and others were negotiating with Sha Dingzhou, but neither party trusted the other and could not reach an agreement for a while.
Sha Dingzhou meant to let him go and swear to be loyal to Prince Mu's Mansion and stop causing trouble!
But Mu Tianbo thinks that you are treating me like a fucking three-year-old child. Let me let you go out of the city. If you are worried that you will lead troops to attack me when you go out to settle accounts after the fall, who will I find to reason with at that time, unless you withdraw your troops first.
Withdraw troops first? Are you kidding me? As soon as I withdraw my troops, you will immediately send troops back to defend the city and even attack Mengzi directly. Will you let me go at that time? You are considered a three-and-a-half-year-old child!
