The carriage slowly drove out of the village.

Under the leadership of the village chief, the people in the village kept sending carriages and the men from Fubiao camp out of the village entrance.

The carriage walked away from the entrance of the village. Hu Mingyi lifted the curtain on the side of the carriage and said to the battalion of soldiers outside the carriage: "Go and find your Deputy General Li."

The battalion soldiers ran quickly to the front of the team.

Soon, Deputy General Li rode his horse to the side of the carriage and said to Hu Mingyi, who was guarding the window of the carriage: "Sir, are you looking for the last general?"

"Do you have any questions about Tianchengwei?" Hu Mingyi asked.

Deputy General Li urged the horse and carriage to maintain a speed while saying, "I have asked, it is true that those defeated soldiers escaped from Tianchengwei, but when they escaped, the tiger flag only came to the army of one battalion and took the initiative to attack the city."

The defeated soldiers from Tianchengwei who fled to the village were the soldiers of the guards near Tianchengwei. After Liu Qingzhou arrived at Tianchengwei, he cleaned up the surrounding officials and soldiers. These people escaped while in the chaos, instead of becoming prisoners of the tiger flag like other guards.

In the face of Hu Mingyi's question, in order to make the problem worse so that he could save his life, they exaggerated that Tian Chengwei had fallen into the hands of the bandits.

However, after the deputy general Li took care of it, he had to tell the truth and admitted that they lied about the fall of the bandits in Tianchengwei.

"What you mean is that Tianchengwei is still in the hands of the court." Hu Mingyi twisted his beard.

Deputy General Li said: "The last general thinks that Tiancheng Guard should still be in Zhou Tong's hands, and General Wang has gathered some of the defeated soldiers and is also in Tiancheng Guard. There are so many people guarding the city, and it is unlikely that it will be difficult to capture Tiancheng Guard without a 10,000 or 20,000 troops."

"As long as Tianchengwei is still in the hands of the court, it's fine." Hu Mingyi breathed a sigh of relief.

The fewer Datong cities and border forts won by the Tiger Flag, his grasp of the Tiger Flag will increase his awareness. If Zhou Tong from Tianchengwei could defeat the Tiger Flag army in Tianchengwei, he would even be free from recruiting the Tiger Flag army. He just needs to use several border forts near Xinping Fort to drag the Tiger Flag army. When the imperial army arrives, he might be able to directly wipe out the gang of bandits like Tiger Flags.

Deputy General Li on the horse's back said, "Sir, don't worry, even if the tiger-shaped flag is powerful, it will not last long. When the Northern Barbarians arrived in Datong, it was like entering a no-man's territory, but in the end, Datong was not the territory of our Ming Dynasty. The leader of the Northern Barbarians could only obediently pay tribute to our Ming Dynasty. No matter how powerful the tiger-shaped flag was, it could still be much stronger than the Northern Barbarians!"

It has only been a few decades since Altan Khan's invasion of the Ming Dynasty. Even if the generals of Datong Town have not experienced it personally, they have a deep memory of the incidents of the Northern Territory offensives under the ears of others around them.

"It's right." Hu Mingyi nodded in agreement.

The army in the field was unable to defeat the army of Tiger Flag, but on the guarding city, it may not be impossible to block the attack of the army of Tiger Flag, just like the Northern Barbarians who blocked the border invading the border.

Hu Mingyi returned to the carriage, and the deputy general Li also rode to the front of the team.

The team moved forward slowly.

After walking a long way, Hu Mingyi in the car felt a little uneasy, so he said to the battalion soldiers outside the car: "Go and find Deputy General Li."

Not long after, Deputy General Li came to the carriage.

Before he could speak, Hu Mingyi said, "Send two people to ride on the fast horses and go to Tianchengwei to see what's going on there."

"Sir, are you worried about Tianchengwei?" Deputy General Li asked.

Hu Mingyi said: "I don't know what's going on. When I think of Tianchengwei, I always feel a little uneasy. It's more reassuring to send someone to take a look."

"I will arrange for people to go to Tianchengwei." Deputy General Li nodded and agreed.

Hu Mingyi said to Deputy General Li who was about to leave: "Send a few more people here. If something really happens to Tianchengwei, remember to send news to the governor."

"I've written it down." Deputy General Li responded, and then he activated his horse to leave when he got off his crotch.

Not long after, the four horses broke out from the team and rushed towards the direction of Tianchengwei.

Until dark, the people sent out to inquire about the news about Tianchengwei did not return. When Hu Mingyi and his team passed by the same village, they stayed overnight in the village.

There is a scholar in the village.

As a scholar, Hu Mingyi moved into the home of the scholar, and the other soldiers and generals of Fubiao camp who escorted him lived in almost everyone's homes around the scholar.

The night passed, and he never waited for the person he had to wait for came back. Hu Mingyi, who was worried, had to take the team to continue on the road.

It was almost noon, and Hu Mingyi, who was upset, suddenly heard someone outside the car say, "Sir, the people who sent Tianchengwei are back."

Hearing this, Hu Mingyi hurriedly lifted the curtain on the car window, looked at Deputy General Li outside and said, "Tell me quickly, how is Tian Chengwei?"

"Tianchengwei has fallen into the hands of the bandits. The people we sent have only been back so long in order not to be discovered by the people with the Tiger Flag." Deputy General Li said in a low tone.

Even a city like Tianchengwei with soldiers and generals could not resist the attack of the rioters. He felt that except for the city with high walls, Datong Prefecture City, which had a thick wall, other border forts and county towns might not be able to stop the rioters.

"How could this happen? Didn't it mean that there were many defenders in Tiancheng Guard? How could it fall into the bandit's hands in just one day?" Hu Mingyi didn't want to believe it.

The field battle is not the opponent of the Tiger Flag Army, and he can't defend the city. He doesn't know what else Datong can use to resist the invading Tiger Flag Army.

Deputy General Li comforted: "The fall of Tianchengwei may also be that the bandits came too quickly and the city was not prepared. If other cities were prepared for the defense, the situation might be different."

"Not prepared, hum!" Hu Mingyi snorted coldly, "Tiancheng Guard not only has the troops in the guard station, but also some of the border troops brought by General Wang. There are so many soldiers and horses to guard the city, how could he be without preparation at all?"

Vice General Li did not dare to answer the conversation after hearing this.

Because even he himself did not expect that the Huqi Banner would be so powerful that he had just defeated the two border troops of Xuanda and captured Tianchengwei again.

Moreover, the capture of Tianchengwei is very different from the previous capture of Xinping Fort.

Xinping Fort was the city guard who took the initiative to open the city gate and surrender. On the contrary, Tiancheng Guard had many soldiers guarding the city, but he didn't even defend it for a day and fell into the enemy's hands.

"The bandits who captured Tianchengwei may be even more arrogant. Sir, do you think we will still go to Xinpingbao?" Deputy General Li asked carefully.

Now he is not optimistic about the revenge of the bandits.

"Go, the more you do this, the more you have to go." Hu Mingyi said gritting his teeth.
