The Most Powerful Man in the World

Obviously, it is an appreciation for the Tatar generals in the city. After all, for the Tatars, cavalry out of the city is the best choice.

If you really choose to defend Taiyuan City, the Tatars under the raid will definitely not be able to defend Taiyuan City.More importantly, the cavalry is in the city, the strength of one body is limited, and it is quite good to be able to play half of the combat power.

Cavalry is the most correct choice to fight in the wild, and the fact that the Tatar generals can choose to fight out of the city so decisively makes Xu Tianzuo look at him differently.

Although it was somewhat unexpected for Xu Tianzuo to say that the Tatars left the city, Xu Tianzuo already had various countermeasures before attacking the city.

At the moment, this situation is still in preparation, although he is slightly surprised, it is not that he is not mentally prepared.

Seeing the Tatar cavalry rush out from the city gate, it was like a torrent, and the soldiers in front of it were struggling to resist the Tatar cavalry.

"Send the order, stumble on the horse rope, and cover it with arrows!"

The benefits of being prepared in advance are now manifested. Even if there are only a dozen trips that Xu Tianzuo had prepared in advance, in this dark night, the Tartars had no defense at all.

Just as he rushed out of the city gate and was about to gallop wantonly, he saw the chains in front of him suddenly being pulled up.

A dozen stumbling horses were suddenly pulled up, and all of a sudden, the charging warhorses fell to the ground, making a heart-pounding sound of broken bones.

Almost in the blink of an eye, dozens of Tatar cavalrymen rushing to the front fell to the ground one after another, while thousands of archers ambushing at the gate of the city fired arrows in unison.

With the light of the fire at the city gate, the archers around don't even need to aim, they just need to cover the area at the city gate.

Although there are still some Ming soldiers at the gate of the city, most of those famous soldiers were killed on the spot by the attack of the Tatar cavalry or trampled to death by war horses, and not many can really survive.

It is precisely because of this that Xu Tianzuo ordered the rain of arrows to be covered, and he saw a rain of arrows falling down. Originally, he rushed out of the city gate and met a series of stumbling horses, followed by a rain of arrows.

The Tatars were still a little stunned for a while, and many soldiers either fell off their horses and died, or were shot and killed on the spot by a rain of arrows.

In the blink of an eye, at least one or two hundred Tatar cavalry fell to the ground.

Such a scene really shocked many Tatar soldiers who rushed out, and many Tatar soldiers almost instinctively wanted to stop the horses under them.

After all, the dense arrows in front of them are really scary, as long as they are normal people, they will react the same way.

But they saw that scene and tried to stop the horses under them from rushing forward, but behind them, a steady stream of Tartar cavalry just started running, but they didn't know what happened in front of them, and the result could be imagined.

When the group of cavalry in front tried to stop, the warhorse that stretched out its hand collided head-on.

Immediately, hundreds of soldiers were in chaos. Many horses fell directly to the ground. Some Tartar soldiers tumbled on the ground with their skilled experience and escaped.

However, these Tatar soldiers who were lucky enough to escape had a nightmare.

With a bang above his head, a rain of arrows once again covered him.

Another hundred Tatar pawns were shot down in a large area.

As a Tatar general, Hulimu was not at the forefront, so it is said that Hulimu was not among the Tatars who were killed by tripping and arrows in the first two waves.

At this moment, Hu Limu looked pale and looked at the arrows outside the city gate.

Hu Limu jumped up instinctively, and the horse rushed out under him, but he himself vacated in the air and fell to the edge of the city gate.

A wave of arrow rain fell, and the hundreds of cavalry soldiers who rushed out were almost killed by the arrow rain in an instant.

Hu Limu, who escaped the catastrophe, roared instinctively: "Stop, everyone will stop for me!"

However, its roar didn't get far in the chaos. Even if some nearby soldiers heard Hu Limu's roar, it was difficult for them to control the horses under them to stop in a short period of time, and they could only rush out of the city gate. the place of death.

Seeing his soldiers being shot and killed, Hu Limu's heart was bleeding, knowing that these soldiers were all his clansmen.

Hulimu is not only the captain of the Tatars, but also the tribal leader of a medium-sized tribe. Almost all his soldiers are his clansmen.

If it is said that only dozens or hundreds of people were killed or injured, that would be fine, but in the blink of an eye, hundreds of people were killed and injured.

The most important thing is that these dead and wounded soldiers are all the elites under his command. After all, when charging, the ones rushing to the front are his personal guards and some of the most elite soldiers in the army.

As a result, these soldiers rushed the fastest, but died the fastest.

Hundreds of the most elite soldiers died just like this outside the city gate. Hu Limu's heart was heartbroken, and his eyes swept away. With the light of the fire, Hu Limu's eyes lit up, rolled on the ground, and pulled the horn on a soldier's body. Then blow the horn.

Immediately, the desolate sound of the horn echoed in the night sky, and the Tartar soldiers who were constantly charging in the city couldn't help but be stunned when they heard the sound of the horn, and instinctively controlled the horses under them to slow down.

Originally, there were more than [-] soldiers, but most of them didn't have time to run, but they stopped very easily now. Similarly, some soldiers didn't have time to stop and could only rush out of the city gate to the place of death.

The dozen or so tripling ropes have completely lost their effectiveness at this moment. After all, hundreds of cavalrymen died there. Even if there were tripling ropes, relying on the corpses of war horses and Tatar soldiers was enough to reduce the effect of the tripping ropes.

However, these war horses and the corpses of the Tartars also became obstacles to many Tartar cavalry rushing out of the city. In addition, most of the archers in Xu Tianzuo's timely generals were dispatched to block the city gate.

Not only bows and arrows, but also all kinds of weapons such as crossbows and fire guns were recruited, and they blocked the gate of the city, and absolutely did not give the Tatar cavalry a chance to leave the city.

Xu Tianzuo knew very well that his soldiers had no experience in fighting against cavalry at all. Once the Tatar cavalry launched a charge, even if they were able to stop it at that time, they would have to pay a considerable price.

What he wanted was a perfect result, not to break the city of Taiyuan, but in the end he left the Tatars in the city and suffered heavy casualties himself.

As Hu Limu stopped the cavalry from continuing out of the city with the sound of the horn in time, the suicidal charge at the city gate finally stopped.

The short time was just a cup of tea, and there was a pile of corpses at the gate of the city. At least four or five hundred Tatar soldiers were killed or injured.

From the pile of corpses of war horses and Tartar soldiers, there was a steady stream of painful howls.

After all, many of these soldiers did not die on the spot. Some soldiers were crushed by war horses, or they were shot by arrows. As long as it was not a vital part, they would not die at once, and many of them were crying there. more than.

Hu Limu, who fled back to the city in embarrassment, had an arrow stuck on his shoulder, and the hat on his head had already been thrown somewhere.

The remaining [-] or so Tatars stared at Hulimu, who was in a state of confusion.

Everyone was looking at the open city gate. The fire was flickering outside the city gate, and the surrounding shadows could be vaguely seen. Needless to say, there must be a large number of Ming troops ambushing outside the city gate.

A deputy general said to Hu Limu: "General, what should we do?"

The road out of the city was obviously blocked, and they had to cross that dead end if they wanted to leave the city, but the wave of casualties just now made them realize that even if they really did it, they were afraid that they would rush out of the city in the end. It would be good if half of the remaining men and horses survived.

Two thousand people, if only one thousand survived, this is unacceptable to them.

There are only a thousand cavalry left, and there is no storm at all. If you are not careful, you may be surrounded and killed by the Ming army.

Hu Limu gritted his teeth and said: "The cunning Ming army actually took precautions early. Since the Ming army at the north gate is so strong, then the other city gates will definitely not have such a strong defense. Let's rush out from other city gates."

While speaking, Hu Limu pulled out the arrow on his shoulders, got on his horse, and shouted, "God bless you, sons, follow me out of the city!"

Hu Limu led the remaining [-] soldiers along the Machang Street, heading straight for the South Gate.

Naturally, the actions of these Tatars could not escape the eyes of everyone outside the city. Everyone only saw that the Tatar army quickly disappeared at the gate of the city, and immediately reported the situation to Xu Tianzuo.

Hearing the news, Xu Tianzuo frowned and muttered softly, "I actually took the initiative to retreat!"

I thought that the Tatars would risk their lives to continue attacking the city gate, but I didn't expect the other party to retreat, but Xu Tianzuo raised his brows and said, "It's cheap Sun Qiu."

While speaking, Xu Tianzuo said: "Send a signal bomb to General Sun, tell him where the Tatars are going, and ask him to intercept the Tatars!"

In order to prevent the Tartars from escaping, Chu Yi arranged for Xu Tianzuo to be in charge of sieging the city, while Sun Qiu was in charge of defending the remaining three gates.

At this moment, Sun Qiu was sitting at the South Gate. He led [-] horses. He arranged three thousand soldiers and horses at the East Gate and West Gate each, and he personally led four thousand soldiers and horses to sit at the South Gate.

Xu Tianzuo chose to attack the city from the north gate, and Sun Qiu could only take a gamble. With his understanding of Xu Tianzuo, it was impossible for the Tatars to leave the city through the north gate, and Xu Tianzuo would never give the Tatars a chance.

Then the Tatars were either all annihilated at the north gate by Xu Tianzuo, or they retreated into the city and chose a city gate to escape.

There are three gates, and no one can guarantee which gate the Tartars will choose, so it is a matter of luck.

A firework suddenly burst into the air, and the night sky was clearly visible.

Sun Qiu, who originally led his soldiers to ambush outside the city gate, couldn't help but light up.

Thinking that he and Xu Tianzuo were in ambush outside Nanjing, but King Ning fell into Tang Li's hands.

Now that Sun Qiu led the army and horses to ambush again, although it was not a big fish like King Ning waiting, but if he was lucky enough to be able to take down the commander of the city, it would be considered a great achievement.

At that time, even if Xu Tianzuo broke Taiyuan City and he took Hulimu, he could still make fun of Xu Tianzuo in front of Xu Tianzuo, right?

Outside the other two city gates, the two guerrilla generals also cheered up when they saw the fireworks in the air.

Xu Tianzuo waved his hand and said, "The army has entered the city, and the Tatar soldiers have been cleared. Military discipline is strict. Anyone who takes advantage of the disturbance and disturbs the people will be killed without mercy once they are identified!"

The Tatar soldiers on the original city wall had already been beheaded by now. On the city wall, thousands of Daming soldiers were entering the city from the city wall, so it is no wonder that Hu Limu chose to leave.

After all, the North City Gate is already over, and even if he stays at the North City Gate, it will be of no use, and even if it fails, he will be surrounded by it.

A large number of soldiers entered the city continuously, and once some Tatars were discovered, they were killed on the spot.

However, it was said that many people in the city were terrified when they listened to the faint sound of fighting, and they were terrified. Although it was not very clear what happened, everyone could still guess, and if there was no accident, it must be The imperial army has returned.

These days, the people of Taiyuan City, who have been bullied by the Tatars and the families of the Miao and Lu families who have joined the Tatars, hold a sigh of relief in their hearts and are eagerly looking forward to the army of the imperial court to break through Taiyuan City.

All of a sudden, the screams of killing suddenly increased a lot, and they were getting closer and closer, and they had begun to enter Taiyuan City. At this moment, a fool could guess that the imperial army had already broken through the city gate and had already entered the city.

Some surviving children from big families showed excitement on their faces, subconsciously clenched their fists and muttered: Master Wang is here, Master Wang is here!

However, it was said that the Miao Clan, the Lu Clan and the others were suddenly awakened in the middle of the night, and the movement of the siege was not small at all. The home has long been torn apart by the people in the city who hated them to the core.

[The first one is sent, to support it. 】

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

In the past few days, Miao Yuan and the others did not dare to fall asleep at all, and felt uneasy in their hearts, for fear that the people who hated them would rush into the mansion and kill them.

In order to guard against this, Miao Yuan and several other families arranged a large number of servants in the mansion to patrol.

Miao Yuan woke up immediately when the sound of fighting at the north gate came.

In the hall, more than a dozen core members of the Miao family gathered together, and many people had expressions of fear on their faces.

A clan elder pointed at Miao Yuan and said angrily: "Miao Yuan, it's all you, if it wasn't for you who had to choose to take refuge with the Tartars, why would my Miao family be today?"

Not just one clan elder, it can be said that most of the dozen or so people present were blaming Miao Yuan.

Miao Yuan frowned, glanced at these clan elders, and snorted coldly: "Several clan elders, don't forget, you all voted in favor at the beginning, but now you are here to blame me, right? Some things just don't make sense."

Several clan elders sneered and said: "I don't blame you, who else can you blame, if it weren't for you, my Miao family is still a family of good people. In this Taiyuan City, who can do anything to us?"

"It's all you. If we don't turn to the Tartars, we don't have to worry so much now. Once the imperial troops enter the city, I'm afraid there will be no good end..."

A clan elder frowned and shouted in a deep voice: "Enough, what's the use of talking about these things at this time, we all agree with the choice that the Patriarch made in the first place, and it's useless to talk about it now. Meaning, if you have this time, you might as well think about it carefully, and how should our Miao family deal with it next."

A clan elder said with some expectation: "You said, if we go to seize the city gate, dedicate it to the imperial army, and welcome the imperial army into the city..."

Miao Yuan sneered and said: "Three sides and two swords, there will be no good end for those who are in the middle of the night. At that time, our Miao family will only die even worse, and there will be no chance of life."

The clan elder couldn't help but became annoyed and said: "Okay, okay, as the head of the family, then you have to come up with a solution!"

Miao Yuan indifferently looked at the several clan elders present and said slowly: "Everyone, if we want to survive, there is only one way to go, and that is to follow the Tartars."

"What, you have to follow the Tatars? The Tatars don't take us as people at all. Will there be any good results if you follow the Tatars?"

Miao Yuan snorted coldly and said, "Following the Tartars, at least I still have a chance, but if even the Tartars abandon us, then we will only have a dead end."

Miao Yuan ruthlessly broke the illusion in his heart, all the clan elders fell silent, the hall was silent, and everyone had a solemn look on their faces.
