The Most Powerful Man in the World

This is related to the future of their Miao clan. If they are not careful, the inheritance of their Miao clan for hundreds of years may be destroyed in their hands.

Miao Yuan swept his gaze across the crowd and said slowly, "Let's vote, everyone. Those who oppose following the Tartars, please stand up."

Everyone is quiet, you look at me, I look at you, naturally no one stands up.

Fools all know that at this time, they actually have no other choice. There is only one way to go, and that is to hold the thigh of the Tartar tightly.

Seeing that no one stood up to object, Miao Yuan took a deep breath and said: "Okay, since that's the case, then it's settled. Everyone immediately go down and pack up, get ready, and go out of the city with the Tartars at any time."

A clan elder said with a wry smile: "The Tartars are too careless. It's only been a night of work. Could it be that Taiyuan City is about to fall?"

Not only the Miao family, but several families like the Lu family have actually made choices at this moment. As a family that has been passed down for hundreds of years, it has its own way of survival.

It can be said that all the families made almost the same choice, after all, they have not many choices, either die or go with the Tatars.

I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at the battle at the city gate in secret, and only the Tatars and the imperial army can decide the winner.

In fact, for the final result, many people know in their hearts. If there is such a big commotion among the imperial troops and horses, it would be too disappointing to say that this could not break the city.

Moreover, there are not many Tatar soldiers in the city, and the Tatars themselves are not good at defending the city, so almost everyone is not optimistic that the Tatars can defend Taiyuan City.

Not long after, the news that Hu Limu abandoned the north gate and went straight to the south gate came, and several families headed by the Miao and Lu families immediately rushed to the south gate.

These families were already prepared, and it could be said that only the core personnel, under the protection of loyal servants at home, tried to keep up with the Tatar ranks.

The Tatars saw a group of men and horses appearing on the street from a distance, and almost instinctively ordered to rush over, but fortunately Hulimu recognized Miao Yuan and others at the head.

Seeing the darkness of the hundreds of Miao Yuan and the others, Hu Limu frowned, and drove his horse forward to shout at Miao Yuan and the others: "Miao Yuan, what are you doing, don't let this general get out of the way, don't delay Ben The general is out of town."

Miao Yuan gave Hu Limu a deep salute and said, "General, please take us with you, we are willing to leave with the general."

"Ok!"

Hu Limu looked at Miao Yuan and the others with a scrutiny. At this moment, Miao Yuan took a few steps forward, shoved a gift list into Hu Limu's hand and smiled: "General, this is a little care from our family, please also ask General Can laugh at it!"

With the light of the torch, Hu Limu glanced at it, and he couldn't help but breathe. It was a thousand taels of gold, fifty thousand taels of silver, and a thousand pieces of silk and satin...

It can be said that if the items on the gift list add up, the value is no less than hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. Even Hu Limuna couldn't help but be moved by it.

Miao Yuan has been paying attention to the change in Hu Limu's expression. When he saw the heartbeat in Hu Limu's eyes, he bowed to Hu Limu and said, "I will be loyal to the Tartars, and please ask the general to bring me to wait."

Hu Limu glanced at Miao Yuan and the others, his heart moved, and he laughed loudly: "Forget it, you are loyal to me Tartar. If this general doesn't bring you, won't I betray your loyalty?"

Saying that, Hu Limu waved his big hand and said, "You guys can follow."

Everyone had always been worried that Hu Limu would not agree to them, and when they heard Hu Limu say this, they couldn't help showing surprises on their faces.

"Thank you, General, thank you General."

Several hundreds of people, including nearly [-] strong family members, went straight to the South Gate with the Tatars.

The black hole in the South Gate, the hundreds of Tatar soldiers stationed at the South Gate at the moment greeted Hu Limu and others as soon as they saw them.

Hu Limu glanced at the general defending the city and said, "Is there any movement outside the city?"

The general who defended the city shook his head slightly and said: "Patriarch, there has been no movement outside the city, but Patriarch, are we really going to abandon Taiyuan City like this? You must know that Taiyuan City is steep, so we directly guard His Highness and retreat to the north. Lu, once Taiyuan City is lost, His Royal Highness's army will be worried that it will fall into the Central Plains!"

The Tatars are not fools either. With such a clear situation, it is natural to know what the consequences of Taiyuan City will be if it falls.

Hu Limu laughed and said with a bit of disdain, "Is it just the people of the Ming Dynasty? Don't you think that the rabble people of the Ming people want to besiege His Highness's army in the Central Plains?"

It's no wonder that Hu Limu looked down on the Daming army so much. In fact, at this time, the Daming army was already rotten, and the real combatants were very few, that is, there were still some elites in the border town.

Even the army in the frontier towns, the Tatars don't take it seriously, how could it be possible to take the other armies of the Ming Dynasty in their eyes.

Looking at the dark city gate, Hu Limu's mind couldn't help but think of the men who died in vain at the north gate. He took a deep breath, and his eyes fell on Miao Yuan and others.

I only heard Hu Limu say to Miao Yuan: "Patriarch Miao, I have to trouble you for something."

I don't know why, looking at Hu Limu, Miao Yuan felt a bit of a bad feeling in his heart, as if Hu Limu had bad intentions.

But no matter what, Miao Yuan could only bow to Hu Limu and say, "I don't know what the general has ordered. As long as I can do it, I will definitely live up to the general."

Hu Limu pointed at the gate of the city and said, "Everyone is loyal to my Tartars. When you leave the city this time, you will be the first to leave the city. This general will lead the rear of the army to guard against the arrival of the Ming army."

The Chicheng of the faction who said this has a posture that considers Miao Yuan and others. After all, it seems that Hu Limu let Miao Yuan and the others go out of the city first, and he is leading the rear of the army. No matter how you look at it, there is no problem.

But after Miao Yuan and the others heard it, their expressions became a little ugly.

What exactly happened to the Tatars at the north gate, Miao Yuan and others already knew at this moment that the imperial troops and horses directly blocked the city gate, and even the Tatars could not rush out. For this reason, there were heavy casualties. The door, but no one outside the South Gate City knows if there is an ambush by the imperial army.

If there is no ambush, that's fine, everyone can escape safely, but if there is an ambush by the imperial army outside the north gate, once they leave the city, I am afraid that they will be attacked by the imperial ambush army in an instant. .

Those who go out first are afraid that they will die very miserably.

Why did Hu Limu let them go out of the city first for their consideration? He clearly used them as pathfinders and let them go out of the city to see if there was an ambush by the imperial army.

Taking a deep breath, Miao Yuan felt that Hu Limu was staring at him like that. He didn't know how Hu Limu would react if he didn't agree, whether he would turn his face on the spot and force them out of the city. Dare to gamble.

With a wry smile in his heart, Miao Yuan looked at the head of the Lu family and others, and slowly bowed to Hu Limu and said, "I am deeply grateful for the general's kindness, and I would like to take the lead."

Hearing this, Hu Limu laughed and said: "It's so good, you are so loyal to me, how can this general hurt you."

Soon the city gate slowly opened, and they saw Miao Yuan and the others taking their servants as the forwards and slowly leaving the city.

Walking through the dark city gate, Miao Yuan and the others couldn't help but lift their hearts.

If there is really a large army outside the city, I am afraid that at the moment when they leave the city, they will be greeted by a rain of arrows, and I don't know how many people will survive.

The head of the Lu family cursed in a low voice: "Damn Tatars, if there is another chance, this old man will definitely not choose to help the Tatars!"

"God damn the Tartars, they have to die!"

Hu Limu rode on the tall horse and watched Miao Yuan and the others heading towards the gate of the city from a distance, his eyes flashing with brilliance.

As long as Miao Yuan and others are not ambushed, he will lead the army out of the city as soon as possible. If Miao Yuan and others are ambushed, then he will think of other ways to get out of the city.

Not far from the city gate, in fact, when the Tartars above the city wall came down, Sun Qiu and others had already noticed it.

Sun Qiu was very excited, and he faintly felt that he might have luck this time, and it was very likely that Hu Limu, the leader of the Tatars, would escape through the South Gate.

If he can capture Hu Limu, then he will have to see what Xu Tianzuo's expression will look like.

Sun Qiu said in a low voice to the soldiers who were ambushing all around: "I have stabilized them all. No one is allowed to do anything without this general's order."

Squeaky, squeak, the city gate opened, and a group of people came out gradually, who were not the servants of Miao Yuan and others.

Among these servants, there are not many people who can recognize Hu Limu's intentions, but all the servants who realize that it is not safe outside the city gate deliberately lag behind a few steps and walk with Miao Yuan and others.

Some servants went out of the city excitedly, and their pace was not slow at all.

The moment these servants left the city gate, there was a sudden shout: "Everyone, shoot me!"

Soon several piles of bonfires were lit, illuminating the city gate.

After a rain of arrows, most of the hundreds of servants who had left the city were shot and killed almost on the spot. Some squatted in the corner with their heads folded and shivered, and some fled back to the city.

Miao Yuan and the others did not leave the city at all, they only heard the sound of howls coming from the front. Miao Yuan and the others immediately realized that there was an ambush outside the city gate.

The despair in their hearts also gave birth to a bit of happiness. Fortunately, they carefully let their servants walk in front, otherwise, it might be them who were pinned to the ground by the rain-like arrows and mourned.

Hu Limu has been paying attention to the movement outside the city. When the sound of shouts and arrows came from outside the city, Hu Limu couldn't help but scolded.

Several generals looked at Hu Limu and said, "General, there is obviously a Ming army ambushing outside the city gate. What should we do next?"

The Ming army behind them had already entered the city, and I was afraid that they would be killed behind them in a few moments. In front of them, the outside of the city gate was blocked by the imperial troops and horses, and they were blocked in Taiyuan like this. In the city, it is hard to fly.

[Khan, as expected, there are still some people who only recognize the number of chapters, not the number of words in a single sheet. My two chapters and nine thousand words are worth the four or five chapters of other two thousand words. 】

Chapter 1 A Blood Road [[-] More]

Taking a deep breath, Hu Limu stared at a group of Daming soldiers who suddenly appeared outside the city gate, gritted his teeth and said, "Let's see first, if there are not many people, we will rush out, if..."

Outside the city gate, Sun Qiu took the lead, and thousands of people behind him blocked the direction of the city gate. Looking from the inside of the city gate, he could only see a black crowd outside the city gate.

Miao Yuan, the head of the Lu family, and the others fled into the city in an extremely embarrassed manner. return.

However, these domestic servants who escaped the disaster were greatly stimulated one by one, and some of them ran towards the Tartars behind them, screaming like headless flies.

Looking at the frightened servant who ran over, Hu Limu was suffocating in his heart. Seeing this, he couldn't help but swing a knife and chopped a servant to the ground.

When the other Tatars saw this, they followed suit. In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen servants were slashed and killed on the spot, only to frighten Miao Yuan and the others to stop and dare not get too close to Hu Limu and others. , for fear of being hacked to death on the spot by Hu Limu and others.

Looking around, Miao Yuan and the other patriarchs glanced at each other, gritted their teeth and ran into the night against the side of the road.

Seeing that Miao Yuan and his party escaped into the night, Hu Limu and the others did not stop them, squinting, Hu Limu looked at a lieutenant beside him and said, "Bring a group of men and go to see how many Ming troops there are outside the city. people?"

Hu Limu had no other choice. At this moment, he still hoped to rush out from the south gate. After all, if he turned to the east and west gates, the two gates would also be guarded by Daming soldiers.

So instead of spending time changing direction, it's better to keep hope in front of you.

The general's face could not help showing a bit of horror when he heard the words. He is not a fool. Those Daming soldiers outside the city blocked the city gate, which completely blocked their way. What happened to those servants in the past? They saw it with their own eyes.

Especially at the gate of the city at this moment, the dense arrows nailed the hundreds of corpses to the ground, and the blood filled the air, which could not be more dazzling.

At this moment, Hu Limu actually asked him to lead a team to attack the Daming army outside the city gate. This is a mission of a near-death life. Unless it is amazing luck, otherwise, if he goes out, he may be shot into a hornet's nest.

But seeing Hu Limu's stunned face, especially the bloody machete in Hu Limu's hand, the lieutenant couldn't help feeling a little chill in his heart. He could guarantee that if he refused, the machete in Hu Limu's hand would be the next moment. will hit him.

Gritting his teeth, the lieutenant nodded at Hu Limu and shouted at the same time. Hundreds of horses followed him and rushed towards the city gate.

Sun Qiu, who was guarding outside the city gate, naturally noticed Hu Limu and his group. The previous wave of arrow rain had scared off Miao Yuan and others, and Sun Qiu had already made all the preparations.

If Hu Limu and his party retreated, Sun Qiu would definitely catch up and kill them immediately, but Hu Limu and his party had no intention of retreating, so Sun Qiu naturally wouldn't rush forward.

The earth shook, and a bright light flashed in Sun Qiu's eyes, staring at the gate of the city, and behind him, more than a thousand archers locked their bows and arrows at the gate of the city.

When a group of Tatar soldiers rushed out of the city gate, they only heard Sun Qiu indifferently shout: "Shoot!"

Almost in an instant, thousands of arrows fell at the same time. There were only a few hundred soldiers. When this wave of arrows fell, almost [-] to [-]% of the Tatar soldiers were shot and killed on the spot, even if it was a fluke. Many of the soldiers who escaped the catastrophe also had arrows stuck in their bodies, but they didn't fall off their horses.

After a wave of arrows, there were only a hundred or so Tatar soldiers who barely fell off their horses.

Most of the more than [-] cavalrymen were also injured and rushed to the front, preparing to attack the Daming army formation, but at this moment, those archers instantly dodged to the sides, shouted at the same time, and then saw one A spear about ten feet long pierced forward like a forest.

puff, puff

If it is said that thousands or even tens of thousands of cavalry charge, the spear formation may not be able to play a very good effect, but now there are still only a hundred Tatar cavalry left, and these hundreds of people are almost In an instant, it was pierced by that forest-like spear.

In the blink of an eye, the Tatar troops sent by Hu Limu to test Sun Qiu's team of Ming soldiers were wiped out.

Hu Limu clearly saw this scene, but Hu Limu did not show any sadness for the sacrifice of this subordinate, but instead showed a bit of a sneer.

There was a sneer on the corner of Hu Limu's mouth. The lieutenant was indeed killed in battle, but in Hu Limu's view, his death in battle was not meaningless.

At least let him see clearly the specific strength of the Ming side.

Just like the lethality shown by Xu Tianzuo's troops who were guarding the city gate at the north city gate before, the lethality was too strong.
