Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 641 A Newborn Calf Is Not Afraid of Tigers

At the head of Kunming City, facing the superior forces of the rogues and the chieftain allied forces, after a few days of support, the morale of the defenders dropped significantly.

Even if Mu Tianbo boosted their morale and said that reinforcements would arrive soon, it would be of no use at all.

This kind of trick can be used once, but it is not very useful if you continue to use it. Who would believe it!
Mu Tianbo was also worried about this!
In Yang Weizhi's secret letter to him, it just said that Li Zicheng's guards guarding the Tongshu pass had secretly defected to the imperial court, and asked him to hold on, and reinforcements would arrive soon.

However, when the reinforcements arrived, there was no explanation!
In this way, he is also afraid, what if Kunming has fallen by the time the reinforcements arrive?
For this reason, Mu Tianbo really wanted to spend his fortune, no matter what, he had to defend it, otherwise, once the city was broken, no matter how much money he had, he would just take advantage of the thieves and chieftains.

But now, the family's wealth is almost exhausted, and there are still countless thieves and chieftain soldiers outside the city. On the top of the city, at a glance, they are all men with low morale.

Seeing this, Mu Tianbo was really worried!

But there is no way, if you can't keep it, you have to keep it, you just have to do it yourself, patrol the city, and check the combat readiness.

"Brother, why don't you go and rest!" Mu Tianze, Mu Tianbo's younger brother, was supposed to have died in the Sha Dingzhou rebellion in Chongzhen in 17 years, but because of the butterfly effect, Sha Dingzhou failed to rebel in Kunming. Didn't die either.Seeing Mu Tianbo's tired look, he said to him, "My third brother and I are watching from the top of the city, it's all right!"

"I'm here, so they can feel more at ease!" Mu Tianbo shook his head and said, "I'm fine, I'm fine!"

Even though he said so, anyone could tell that Mu Tianbo was already very tired.

There is no way, he is the Duke of the state, the core of Kunming City.Relatively speaking, his two younger brothers were not very old, so he was not at ease, so he insisted on staying at the top of the city sooner or later to deal with the attacks of the bandits and chieftain soldiers.

After hearing this, Mu Tianze wanted to persuade him again, when he suddenly saw something, he couldn't help being a little surprised and said: "Brother, look at the rogues outside the city!"

When Mu Tianbo heard this, he thought that the bandits were going to attack the city again.But when he looked up, he saw in the west of the city, that is, the direction of Chuxiong that he was looking forward to day and night, there were about three or four thousand rogues, who seemed to have discarded their helmets and armor, appeared in the field of vision, and threw themselves into the camp of the rogues there.

"Okay!" Seeing this situation, Mu Tianbo came back to life immediately as if he had been spat out with chicken blood, and immediately shouted: "The imperial reinforcements are coming soon, all the soldiers, guard your country!"

The soldiers on the top of the city listened and looked at the situation outside the city, all half-believing.

In fact, not only them, but even the bandits and chieftain soldiers in the outskirts of the city were suspicious, not knowing what was going on.

Mu Tianbo, however, was excited, and shouted: "My lord has long said that the reinforcements will arrive. Look, the reinforcements have arrived!"

Hearing his words and looking at the situation outside the city, everyone naturally thought that the best thing the Duke said was true.Therefore, even if they still had doubts in their hearts, they all shouted one by one to boost their morale.

This time, Mu Tianbo boosted the morale of the defenders in the city again without spending any money.

Not long after he was happy, Mu Tianbo found out that there were a lot of horsemen jumping out from the bandits, and after they scattered into various chieftain camps, all the chieftain soldiers started to make a fuss.Not only stayed away from the city wall, but also seemed to want to run away.

Upon seeing this situation, Mu Tianbo excitedly pointed to the outside of the city and said, "Did you see it, did you see it? The reinforcements have arrived, and the rebels are about to run away!"

When his younger brother Mu Tianze heard this, he immediately said excitedly: "Brother, shall we go out of the city to cover up the murder?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Tianbo slapped his younger brother on the back of the forehead, of course, not very hard, and then glared and shouted: "Don't you know how much I weigh? I don't have the ability of my ancestors to dare to go out of the city and be killed by thieves." Bar?"

Mu Tianze was not even in his twenties, and a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. Hearing this, he touched the back of his head and said unconvinced: "I haven't been beaten before, how do you know? Emperor Taizu can manifest spirits, Maybe the ancestor can help me too?"

Hearing this, Mu Tianbo was so angry that he wanted to slap him.

When Mu Tianze saw him, he immediately dodged and moved a little further away.

Mu Tianbo saw him, and when he was about to talk about him, suddenly, he heard loud cheers coming from the top of the city in the south of the city.

This movement made the brothers stop their movements and looked towards the south of the city curiously.

Mu Tianze's ears were also sharp, but after he listened intently, he said to Mu Tianbo in surprise, "Brother, there seems to be shouting over there, reinforcements are here!"

"What?" Mu Tianbo became a little confused when he heard it, and murmured to himself, "Shouldn't they come from the Chuxiong Mansion? Or it's also right to come from the north. Where are the imperial reinforcements coming from the south?"

When his younger brother heard his words, Mu Tianze asked a little puzzled: "Brother, what are you muttering about? Didn't you say that in the secret letter Mr. Yang gave you, did you say that there are reinforcements? Why? Where did the reinforcements come from? Are there reinforcements or no reinforcements?"

While speaking, there was a bit of worry on his face, as if he was afraid of being happy in vain.

Other people around, including the guards and city guards, also had similar expressions after hearing this, and they were afraid that they would be happy in vain.

When Mu Tianbo saw it, he immediately suppressed the doubts in his heart, and immediately changed his face and said: "Didn't you see that the rebels outside the city are all in a mess? Use your brain to think about it, if this is not the arrival of reinforcements, what else could it be?" ? It can’t be that the Emperor Taizu sent heavenly soldiers and generals down?”

After hearing this, Mu Tianze turned his head to look outside the city, and found that after a while, the rebels outside the city really became more chaotic.

At the previous meeting, the rebels outside the city were still divided into organizational systems, and there was a clear distinction between the chieftain troops and between the bandits.Even if you want to escape, you can tell which part is which!
But at this time, it can be seen from the top of the city that there are already many chieftain troops mixed together.At most, it can be distinguished from the thief.

At the same time, in the south of the city, the cheers became louder and louder.

"Report, the court reinforcements, the court reinforcements have arrived!" A school lieutenant rushed along the city wall, saw that Mu Tianbo was still far away, so he had no time to wait, and shouted to report.

Mu Tianbo was very surprised to hear that, but at this time he couldn't care too much. Anyway, it doesn't matter if they came from Chuxiong or other places, as long as they were reinforcements.

"Brother, shall we kill it?" At this time, Mu Tianze came over and asked again.

While speaking, he was still a little wary of Mu Tianbo, for fear that his brother would hit him again.

Needless to say, Mu Tianbo really wanted to fight, but seeing him like this, he knew that he couldn't fight, so he gave up, and just said: "As long as we defend the city well, we will be credited. There are too many rebels outside the city, don't worry about it." It would be too reconciled to be counter-killed!"

If his ancestor Mu Ying, under such circumstances, he would probably kill him.But Mu Tianbo, although in the original history, he was not afraid of death and died for his country in the end, but looking at his life, it has to be said that he is far behind his ancestors!

After he finished speaking, he was worried that other people would also have his brother's thoughts, so he issued a military order to strictly guard the city and not go out to fight.

Afterwards, Mu Tianbo hurried to the south of the city to see which imperial government army was helping him?
At this time, the biggest difference between the imperial court and the army was the sound of firearms, which began to resound in the south of the city.With the sound of shouting and killing, everyone can know that the imperial army has arrived.

I saw the rebels outside the city, all in chaos.

Some rebels swarmed to the west; however, some rebels from the west swarmed to the east; it became a mess, you squeezed me, I squeezed you, not to mention fighting, even escape was blocked , get in the way!
It's also on the thief's side, because unlike chieftains, who belong to various hilltops and different factions, it's not so chaotic.However, it is obvious that people are panicking.

"kill……"

Not only is there shouting from the south of the city, but the inside of Kunming is also shouting.

"Surrender without killing, surrender without killing..."

Seeing this situation, some chieftains did not run away when they were desperate, and surrendered.

Only the more powerful ones, such as Sha Dingzhou and other chieftains, were not willing to surrender, and were still running around like headless chickens.

The reason for this is that I really don't know which direction to run is safe.

According to the news I heard in the Zhongjun account, there should be court officials and troops in several directions!
In this way, it was a coincidence that several large groups of chieftains and thieves collided together, and the thieves also broke up the establishment. There is me in you, and you in me, thieves and thieves Tusi soldiers mixed.

Li Zicheng lost control of his opponents, and in such a chaotic situation, it was impossible to convey his military orders.

Gao Yigong's older sister, Gao Guiying, is in charge of the rear battalion, mainly family members in the army.Men and women, young and old, were suddenly caught off guard by this catastrophe. Even though they had escaped before, they were not so flustered.

Gao Guiying was panicking when she saw his younger brother running towards him leading his men.

So, she greeted her brother very happily and asked him to come over and help evacuate together.

Gao Yigong saw him and gave his subordinates a wink.

Then his men dispersed in the rear camp, looking as if they were going to help.

As for Gao Yigong himself, he ran up to his sister and said: "Sister, why are you so anxious, you can't do this, the more anxious you become, the more panicked you become, the more panicked the more chaotic, take your time, take your time!"

It seemed to make sense, and since it was her own younger brother, Gao Guiying didn't doubt anything, so she quickly sent an order to Houying to not panic and tidy up.

This is the home of the whole army, and it has no combat effectiveness, but it is related to the morale of the whole army.

Unknowingly, Houying's side and Li Zicheng's side were far away from each other.
