The eldest son of the red mansion

When Arslen Khan got the details of Miyun's arrival, he no longer had any doubts about capturing Miyun and going straight to the capital. He now thought it was a matter of time, and he had to reach the capital in the shortest possible time before starting to plunder.Otherwise, when the soldiers of King Qin from all over the world arrive together, the soldiers of the Southern Dynasty are weak in combat effectiveness, but once the number reaches a certain number, it is enough to drink a pot by themselves.

Arslen Khan sat upright, and said to the generals below: "Now start building the siege equipment. It must be ready within three days. After three days, the whole army will attack the city without giving them a chance to breathe. In the shortest time Take down Miyun."

All the generals under the tent heard Arslen Khan's order, and they bowed their hands together and said: "I will obey the order of the Great Khan."

Arslen Khan then asked everyone to disperse their tents. Gu Xu still had some uses, so he arranged a tent for him alone.And promised to return to the grassland will be rewarded.

Although Gu Xu was a little apprehensive, he planned to take the intact Miyun City and thousands of people to join him, but he didn't expect people to be as good as God, and something went wrong at the last moment.Now that he was living alone in the Tatar camp, thinking about it, he might as well resist desperately, maybe he still had some chance of survival, Gu Xu couldn't help but feel regretful in his heart.

Let's talk about what happened in Miyun City. It turns out that although Zhou Wu is Gu Xu's confidant, he has done many wicked things for him.Like reselling military rations, withholding military pay, and smuggling weapons to the grasslands.These are things he often does.Moreover, this person secretly did a lot of things to bully men and women, Zhou Wu's name has become synonymous with villains in Miyun City.

But this time, when he heard that Gu Xu was going to surrender to the Tatars, he didn't dare to object on the surface, and he strongly supported him. In fact, he was already furious in his heart.

Although Zhou Wu has done a lot of bad things, he has a sense of pride in his heart as a person of the Celestial Dynasty, which is innate.If it wasn't for that, he probably would have been around forever as a badass.But ever since he knew that Gu Xu was going to join the enemy, he was determined to do something for this country.

That night, because Gu Xu was going out of the city to meet the Tatar generals, he asked Zhou Wu to take care of the captured families and important officials.

Zhou Wu saw the opportunity came, so he brought his centurion and quietly came to the defense mansion. First, in the name of changing defense, he gathered all Gu Xu's personal soldiers into the compound. Wu is Gu Xu's confidant.He also received an order to detain the prisoners, which Zhou Wu would be in charge of, so he didn't take precautions.

As a result, these more than 100 soldiers had just assembled, and countless arrows were shot from all directions. Before these people had time to react, they suffered heavy losses.Next, Zhou Wu brought his centurion to kill them. These people were now unarmed, and they were no match for the fully armed Zhou Wu. They were all killed soon.

After Zhou Wu dealt with these soldiers of Gu Xu, he went to the firewood room to rescue the officials and adults. Only by rescuing these people can the troops in Miyun City be mobilized.to resist the coming Tatars.

At this time, all the thousands of households and important civil officials have all woken up.When these people woke up and found that they were tied in the woodshed, they knew it was not good.Everyone knew in their hearts that they had been tricked by Gu Xu. Now that Gu Xu might have dedicated the city to the Tatars, the consequences for them would be disastrous.

Although these civil and military ministers wanted to communicate, but because they were all gagged, they could only stare blankly.When they were anxious, they suddenly heard a scream outside.These people couldn't help but tremble for a while, thinking that Gu Xu had already begun to eliminate dissidents.

Not long after the screams, the door of the firewood room was opened, and everyone saw Zhou Wu coming in from the outside. Everyone knew that Zhou Wu was Gu Xu's confidant.

Unexpectedly, after Zhou Wu came in, he ordered the soldiers to untie the ropes for everyone. While rubbing their wrists, everyone silently looked at Zhou Wu, wanting to know what the hell he was up to.

Seeing that everyone had been untied, Zhou Wu clasped his hands and said, "My lords, Zhou Wu has offended me a lot before. I know I am not a good person, but I still have some national integrity. This time Gu Xu defected to the enemy and betrayed my country, although I am not talented. , and absolutely can’t follow him. So I took my troops and killed those soldiers, please go back and mobilize your troops, and soon the Tatars will come to take over Miyun City. I’m afraid it will be too late.”

At this time, everyone looked at each other, not knowing whether they should believe him or whether Miyun Master Xie Wang had some prestige among them, so they spoke first: "Since you are sincerely for the country, you don't have to worry. When the Tatars retreat, I will definitely Show your merits to the imperial court."

Zhou Wu was already impatient at this time, so he said impatiently: "My lords, what time is it now? It's too late to be polite here. Please, my lords, hurry up and set up an ambush in Wengcheng. I'll delay them a bit first." Time, when the time comes, the safety of Miyun City will depend on you all." After speaking, he walked towards the city gate with a feeling of despair on his face.

Because Zhou Wu himself knew that no matter whether this trip was successful or not, it was impossible for him to come back alive. This could be regarded as being loyal to the country and leaving a good reputation after death.

Xie Wang looked at this situation and knew that Zhou Wu was sincerely for the country, but now the dragons in Miyun City have no leader, if there is no one to preside over it, I am afraid they will not be able to persevere.

So Xie Wang presumptuously gave orders to everyone: "The situation is urgent now, so I will temporarily preside over the military and political affairs of Miyun. The thousands of households immediately take their troops to the Wengcheng to ambush, and the Tatars must be driven out of Miyun. The houses were demolished, and all kinds of bricks, stone strips, and timber were transported to the entrance of the city, ready to defend the city. Do you have any objections?"

Everyone really didn't know what to do now. With a backbone, they naturally obeyed orders, so they quickly prepared.

That's when Gu Xu and Burigude were unprepared to enter the city, thousands of arrows were fired from the Wengcheng, and the Tatars were beaten out of Miyun City.

After the Tatars were driven out of Miyun, Xie Wang rushed to the city gate.Seeing Zhou Wu with his head in a different place, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that people can't be judged by appearances. Although Zhou Wu has done some bad things, he has not lost money in the interests of the nation, and he can be regarded as a man.So he ordered people to collect his body and temporarily put it in the Temple of the City God. After the Tatars retreated, they would show their merits to the court.

After sighing for a while, Xie Wang put these matters behind him, gathered all the thousands of households in Miyun City, and asked them to take turns guarding the city.And he called all the males over the age of 15 and under the age of 50 in the whole city, and issued weapons to them to assist the officers and soldiers in defending the city.If there are not enough weapons, cut wood into soldiers, at least let everyone have one weapon available.

The wealthy gentry in the city were dissatisfied with this. After all, these people have always been pampered, and now they are asked to go to the city to fight the Tatars. They are not willing, so many people resist.

Xie Wang was not polite at this time, but if anyone disobeyed, the whole family of Chao Mo was executed immediately, and all the property was used to reward the soldiers, and all the men and women of their family were driven to the top of the city as the first batch of resistance against the Tatars. As a result, no one in the city dared to resist.

In this way, Xie Wang managed to organize tens of thousands of people in just one or two days.Xie Wang sent experienced veterans in the army to conduct temporary training for these people, just asking them to have some basic combat concepts, so that few people will die by then.

Since he didn't know how long the Tatars would besiege the city, the second thing Xie Wang did after gathering all the young and strong was to collect all the grain in the city for unified deployment.And issued a decree, but whoever hides a grain of grain will be executed.So this once again aroused the opposition of those wealthy households, but with the lessons learned from the past, no one dared to resist this time.He could only accept it silently, and prepared to sue him in the court after the Tatars retreated.

The third thing he did was to publicize to the people in the city that the Tatars were barbaric and unreasonable.And the massacre at Gubeikou made everyone believe that if Miyun City was destroyed, everyone would not be able to escape the fate of being massacred.In order to arouse the will of the whole city to fight against the enemy.

There is no need for him to publicize this. Who in the city does not know the barbarism of the Tatars.If the city is broken, none of the women in the city can escape the fate of being raped.

So these women began to encourage the men who went to defend the city by themselves, telling them to fight desperately and not have to worry about their families.If the city is broken, they must keep festivals for them.

Under the influence of several aspects, Miyun City has now become a huge fortress, and everyone in the fortress has the determination to die.

Chapter 209

After Xie Wang's propaganda in Miyun City, the enemy has become united.The big guy's fear of the Tatars turned into his motivation to survive.The common people are thinking about the same thing now. Since it is death anyway, it is better to die in battle. If you can kill one or two Tatars, then you are not losing money.If you keep the city wall, even if you die in battle, your loved ones will survive.

Not only all the young and strong actively participated in the defense of the city, but also countless women came under the city wall to help deliver supplies and prepare meals for the soldiers and the young and strong.These women were terrified by the news from Gubeikou. They were not afraid of death, but they thought that if they faced the ravages of the Tatars every day, it would be better to die.So these women desperately helped the officers and soldiers defend the city, hoping to keep the city and preserve their lives and chastity.

Even many old people over the age of 50, disregarding dissuasion, follow the training alongside the young and strong, just thinking that they can make a contribution at the last moment, and want to use their old lives to leave a way for the young children and grandchildren in the family.

At this time, Xie Wang actually had a glimmer of hope in defending Miyun City. With the efforts of these people, it might not be so easy for the Tatars to break through.In the end, if the Tatars lose too many troops.In the end, I am afraid that he can only go around the city, and there is nothing to do with his Miyun City.

Xie Wang now has this idea in mind to encourage the people to fight, to let them understand that Tatars are human beings, and they will be afraid if they suffer heavy losses.

And there are countless rolling wood and lightning stones prepared on the city wall, these things were not there originally, it was only after Xie Wang demolished the garrison mansion and all the officials' houses that they got together.

When the people in the city saw that the officials demolished their houses to defend the city, they also took action one by one. Many people demolished all their unused houses, and took away the stones and all kinds of wood used for building houses. All the beams were transported to the top of the city.

When Miyun City was preparing to defend the city these days, the Tatars were not idle. During this time, they used the craftsmen plundered from the Central Plains to build countless ladders and other siege tools, such as crashing cars, etc. wait.

On the third day of the rest of the two sides, Arslen Khan led the army to go out together, and the army set up a formation three miles outside Miyun City.Arslen Khan came to the front of the battle immediately, set up a pergola and looked up at the city wall, only to see countless figures densely packed on the city wall, and all kinds of defense supplies piled up like a mountain.

Seeing this situation, Arslen Khan had a bad premonition in his heart.This reminded him of the siege battle in Kaiping Town.Although he is well prepared this time, if he continues like this.I don't know how much time it will take and how many people will be lost.

Moreover, the current situation of Miyun City Investment is quite different from what Gu Xu described. Looking at the materials on the top of the city, where is the lack of preparation, it is simply piled up like a mountain.Looking at the densely packed army on the top of the city, there are at least tens of thousands of people.

When Arslen Khan saw this situation, he changed his mind and decided to attack for a few days first.If not, you cannot continue to attack.After finishing the work, we should walk around the city and go straight to the capital, and leave another [-] to [-] cavalry, which is enough for surveillance.

After Arslen Khan made up his mind, he issued an order to his generals, ordering them to attack the city immediately from all sides, without stopping for a while.

The Tatars didn't just order their step soldiers to attack the city.In the past few days, they also looted tens of thousands of people from all around. The male soldiers among these people naturally became the cannon fodder for this siege, and they were the first to rush towards Miyun City.

Under the urging of the Tatars behind, these captives rushed towards Miyun City with a ladder on their shoulders.When they came to the city and built a ladder, they climbed the ladder and attacked the city under the pressure of the Tatars' swords and guns.So the brutal siege battle began.

Seeing this situation, Xie Wang on the top of the wall hesitated for a moment, and finally gave an order with all his heart, and all the soldiers began to throw rolling wooden thunderstones downward.The people who attacked the city suffered heavy losses in an instant, and this situation only lasted for more than half an hour.These people suffered heavy losses.There is no longer the ability to attack the city.

Arslen Khan saw from the back that these looted slaves had lost almost all of their losses, and a lot was consumed from the rolling wood mines on their heads, so he ordered his Tatars to start attacking the city.

So the Tatars imitated the Central Plains people.Carrying the ladder, they ran down the city wall. During the process, thousands of arrows were fired from the top of the city, and the Tatars kept falling on the way of charging.However, the Tatars were numerous after all, so they approached the city wall very quickly. They climbed steadily with the ladder on the city pool, and braved the rolling wood and rocks above to fight and climb, showing their sturdy spirit.

Under the city, Arslen Khan sent archers to keep shooting upwards to suppress the firepower of Chengtou.

Above Miyun City, Xie Wang led hundreds of people to serve as the supervisor team and rescue team.But those who dared to back off were beheaded immediately, and where they were about to fail, they immediately went to support.

At the same time, the young and strong under the city were ordered to keep replenishing upwards. Sometimes it was too late to dispatch the young and strong, and even women went to the city to join the battle.

From the top, sometimes because of the lack of rolling logs and thunder stones, do you just throw the corpses of the comrades who have just died in battle as rolling logs?

What's more, it is unexpected that among these people, the most valiant fighters are those women. Many women even jumped off the top of the city with the Tatars in their arms when they were seriously injured and saw that they could not do it.The tragedy and tragedy cannot be described in words.

Such a fierce offensive and defensive battle lasted for a day, and when the sky darkened, Arslen Khan finally ordered his troops to withdraw. The offensive and defensive battle of this day made him see the cruelty that was different from the previous grassland wars, which made him more determined to fight around. The determination to leave the city.

In the evening, when the losses were counted, the Tatars killed nearly 5000 people and injured two to three thousand people during the day's siege battle.Such a loss has exceeded the limit that the Tatars can bear, and many people complain.They also glared at Gu Xu, a Han Chinese.It was because he said that the city was unprepared and it was easy to break through them, so he desperately attacked the city, thinking about the first day, he would be beaten to death.
