Chapter 248: Romantic Person(3/3)
The sergeant looked around and saw a faint light, but there was no movement at all in the yard.
He pressed his hands on the ground at the entrance of the cave, jumped up from the ground with all his strength, waved the scimitar in his hand, and looked around him warily.
Then, one, two, three...
Within one meal, the front yard and back yard of this private house were densely packed with people, including at least two to three hundred Jin soldiers.
At the same time, in more than a dozen courtyards in the east, west, south, and north of Zhongdu City, the scene just now was unfolding.
It's just that some courtyards already have new owners, and after being accidentally disturbed, there are just a few more dead souls under the scimitar.
"Captain Jin, all our people are coming up, all 280 of us are in place."
A sergeant who looked like a messenger came to a school captain and reported in a low voice.
"Let everyone be careful. When the second watch comes, everyone will follow me and rush to the south gate. Join other brothers and capture the south gate in one fell swoop to welcome the prince's army."
It turned out that these people were the people of Wanyan Honglie, King Zhao of the Kingdom of Jin.
Wanyan Honglie's loyalty to the Kingdom of Jin is unquestionable, and he himself can be considered a man with great ambitions, but his ability and character are a bit lacking.
The loss of Zhongdu City became an indelible shame in Wanyan Honglie's heart.
His injuries had just recovered, and he was secretly mobilizing troops in an attempt to retake Zhongdu City.
The tunnels in Zhongdu City were dug several years ago.
The idea at that time was not to use it to recapture Zhongdu City one day, but to respond to the invasion of foreign enemies by quietly sending out the troops in the city to cooperate inside and outside.
Unexpectedly, the Mongolian army attacked so fiercely that they directly destroyed the city before they could use this move.
Then there was a fierce street fight, and then Wanyan Honglie was seriously injured. The Jin soldiers were unable to resist and had to evacuate Zhongdu City.
Unexpectedly, a few months later, when Wanyan Honglie rebelled against Zhongdu, these tunnels would come in handy.
There are a total of sixteen tunnels, each of which can accommodate two to three hundred people.
They are mainly concentrated in the south and north directions of the city, while the east and west of the city are only symbolically arranged in two places.
The key to the Jin Army's attempt to steal the city this time was to use the three to four thousand people who had sneaked into the city to create chaos while simultaneously opening the south gate of Zhongdu City in time.
Wanyan Honglie personally leads an army of 30,000, which is twenty miles away from the south city gate. He will lead his army to rush towards Zhongdu City a quarter of an hour in advance.
And there are another 50,000 troops twenty miles behind Wanyan Honglie. They will quickly move towards Zhongdu City when Wanyan Honglie launches his attack.
Wanyan Honglie had conducted a detailed investigation in advance and found that in addition to Temujin's thousands of personal guards in Zhongdu City, there were only more than 10,000 troops led by Ogedai and Muhuali each.
The 50,000 Goryeo troops who had been incorporated had already been led by General Borshu and were training near the south entrance of Changping.
The total number of Mongolian soldiers in Zhongdu City is only a little over 30,000.
Wanyan Honglie believed that with his more than 80,000 troops, he would be able to drive the Mongols out of Zhongdu City on the premise of opening the gates of Zhongdu City.
If you are lucky, you may be able to save Temujin or Ogodei's life.
"The second watch has arrived, let's take action——"
Captain Jin gave an order, and Jin soldiers had already opened the door of this private house. After identifying the direction, they headed towards the south gate.
This scene was also performed in fifteen other places at the same time.
However, some of them were responsible for causing chaos in the four cities, and the golden soldiers near the South City Gate, numbering less than 2,000, were rushing towards the South City Gate.
On the road, I met people walking at night after drinking, or small groups of patrols, and they were all killed by the Jin soldiers without mercy.
...
"Great Khan, it's getting late, it's time for me to say goodbye."
Guo Mo once again bid farewell.
Guo Mo had proposed it twice before, but Temujin refused to do so for one reason or another.
I have known Guo Mo for so many years, and this is the first time I have chatted with him alone for such a long time.
The more the conversation deepened, the more Temujin felt that this person was not simple. At least, he saw something in this person that he had never seen in anyone else.
If you really asked him to tell you what he saw, Temujin couldn't explain clearly. He just felt that chatting with him would bring out too many new thoughts and insights.
It seemed that there was nothing that Guo Mo didn't know, whether it was the local customs or historical figures or events from tens or hundreds of years ago.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Even things in distant Europe or island countries beyond the sea, this Guo Mo has a nose and eyes to talk about, as if he has seen it himself.
In fact, the two of them were chatting so much today that they both drank too much without realizing it.
Facing Genghis Khan Temujin, Guo Mo didn't bother to use his skills to resist. He only relied on his own ability to drink.
They are all a little dizzy. Otherwise, how could Guo Mo be able to speak freely and talk about everything?
"Haha, it's too late. Nephew Mo Xian, since so many sages in the past have failed to impress you, what kind of deeds do you think are worthy of the word 'character'?"
It seems that Guo Mo's evaluation of those ancient emperors still left a deep impression on Genghis Khan.
"Haha, since the Great Khan calls himself 'Genghis Khan', why does he have to argue with others?"
"If I have to say something, I have only one thing to say - let's go, let's count the famous people, let's look at the present! Hiccup - "
Guo Mo stood up and burped loudly.
"Great Khan, Great Khan, it's not good - suddenly there is a lot of chaos in Zhongdu City, and now there are still people trying to rob the South City Gate."
At this moment, a centurion who was a personal soldier ran into the "Hall of Renzheng".
The soldier's words made Guo Mo and Temujin sober up.
"Go, send someone to tell Wo Kuotai to lead people to guard the south city gate, and then send someone to notify Mu Huali to lead people to clear up the chaos in the city. Where is Zhe Lemi? Let him gather all the 'cowardly Xue troops',
Waiting outside the palace."
In an instant, Genghis Khan issued three orders in succession.
It seems that I don't care who you are coming or how many soldiers and horses are coming. As long as I am prepared, I can kill all invading enemies.
"Nephew Mo Xian, I've made you laugh. It's probably those stragglers from the Kingdom of Jin who took advantage of the 'Heroes of the World Conference' to cause some havoc. Are you interested in accompanying me to watch the battle?"
Guo Mo also wanted to know, who had the courage to directly attack Zhongdu City where Temujin was personally stationed?
"It's my wish, but I don't dare to ask my ears. Since the Great Khan is so elegant, I will accompany the Great Khan for a walk."
Although it was said that it was a walk, in fact, I was still staying in the palace for the time being, but I had already moved from the "Injeong Hall" in the harem to the "Da'an Hall" in front.
"Report to the Great Khan that General Muhuali has cleared up the chaos in the north of the city and is dividing his troops to the east and west of the city."
"Report to the Great Khan that Ogedai Khan has led his army to the south city gate. However, he was constantly harassed by small groups of troops along the way. It seems that the equipment is from the army of the Jin Kingdom, and there are also some martial arts people among them."
"Report to the Great Khan that the South City Gate has been lost. Tens of thousands of Jin troops are coming to kill outside the city. The leader is Wanyan Honglie, King of Zhao of the Jin Kingdom——"
