The Supervisory Army Envoy may not always be able to scare anyone, but Xu Huai took action and killed three people with an aura as strong as a human-shaped crossbow. Then dozens of soldiers came out from Xu Huai's side, raising shields, spears, swords and bows with murderous intent.
After rejecting the horse and pulling it out, who would dare to say that this scene is a bluff?
No matter how arrogant these generals were, no matter how resentful Xu Huai was for killing three of their colleagues at the slightest disagreement, they did not dare to rush over and force Juma off the city wall at this moment.
On the narrow city wall, one or two hundred people retreated hastily, and one person was squeezed out of the crenel in a panic.
"ah!"
The shrill screams were particularly harsh in the silent night.
Xu Huai watched with cold eyes as these people retreated to the horse-faced fighting shed opposite, and then he called Tang Qing to the crenel on the side and ordered him: "If any of these generals can recognize me, it should be
Coming out of Tongbai Mountain - you send people to find Eucommia ulmoides and Meng Laodao!"
Pan Chenghu and Guo Junpan are still in Kelan, leading the remaining 300 supervisors and envoys to follow Wang Fan. However, as the leader of Xiema Mountain, Eucommia ulmoides was instigated by Pan Chenghu to participate in the grain affairs of Huanglongpo Station.
, Meng Laodao and the others followed Xu Huai and the others into Datong City.
Before the overall situation fell into chaos, it was impossible for Xu Huai to conflict with the powerful Ge Huaicong and others, or to be caught by them.
However, all signs indicate that Xiao Linshi may lead 3,000 elite troops from Yingzhou to cross the Huihe River at any time tonight, and it is very possible that he may raid Shengdemen and suffocate the main force of the Tianxiong Army to death in Datong City.
Xu Huai couldn't really wait until that moment happened before taking any action.
Although Xu Huai didn't know any of the armored soldiers blocked in the north city wall, when he showed his name, many people clearly showed fear in their eyes. Basically, only those who came from the Tongbai Mountain bandit army could see it.
in this way.
At this time, Xu Huai brought Eucommia ulmoides and Meng Laodao over, thinking that he would arrange for them to contact the old department now, so as to directly control these troops as quickly as possible after the chaos occurred.
Tang Qinggang arranged for people to climb the rope ladder down the city wall to find Eucommia ulmoides and Meng Laodao, but he saw Xu Wukun climbing to the top of the city with a rope and shouting: "Xu Huai, Xu Huai, look who's coming!"
Xu Huai looked toward the city from the crenel, and saw Zheng Tu tremblingly grabbing the rope ladder, tightening his buttocks and climbing up, fearing that he would lose his grip and fall several feet high.
Xu Huai reached out and grabbed Zheng Tu's wrist, pulled him up to the top of the city, and said, "Why did you come here alone?"
"I tricked Pan Chenghu into coming here, but why did he have to go to Mr. Zhu Hang first to answer questions?" Zheng Tu looked down from the top of the stack to the city, which was nearly five feet above the ground. He clicked his tongue in fear and shouted.
, "This dusty earth wall doesn't look like much from a distance. I didn't expect it to be so high."
"Although Datong is far less prosperous and prosperous than Xinghuai, it is still known as the heroic town in the northern region..."
Xu Huai didn't expect Pan Chenghu to come to Datong with Zheng Tu, but it was normal to think about it. Pan Chenghu didn't know the danger of this trip and thought he had great achievements waiting for everyone to share. He was so excited when Zheng Tu said that as long as Wang
Fan nodded in agreement and rushed to Datong, but he was not slow.
In the copycat coalition, the reputations of Pan Chenghu and Guo Junpan are second only to Chen Zixiao, Zhong Changqing, and Gao Xiangzhong, far beyond the reach of Eucommia ulmoides and Meng Laodao. Once the situation becomes chaotic, especially the conflicts between the various troops
The organizational structure was disrupted, and Pan Chenghu stepped forward to rally the old Tongbaishan troops to achieve twice the result with half the effort.
"Uncle Seven..." Xu Huai was about to take Xu Wukun and Zheng Tu into the corner tower to talk things over, but he heard someone timidly shouting from the Juma side.
He and Xu Wukun looked sideways and saw a soldier who had withdrawn from the north city gate tower standing on Juma's side and looking this way.
There were people on guard behind Ju Ma, but as long as the other side didn't try to push Ju Ma off the wall or force their way through, they wouldn't stop the three or five people from approaching. After all, everyone was still a general of Dai Viet.
Xu Huai also blocked the way of these soldiers only in the name of inspecting military discipline by the Supervising Military Envoy.
Since they were acquaintances, Tang Qing immediately arranged for someone to open a gap and let the person over.
"Xu Xin!"
Xu Wukun saw clearly that the person who came was actually Xu Xin, the grandson of Xu Zhonglin and son of Xu Wuqing. He was also startled, grabbed his arm and asked in surprise,
"Why are you in the military?"
Xu Wufu once sent Xu Xin to inform Zheng Hui and Dong Qifeng. After that, there was no news from Xu Xin. Everyone thought that he had died in the rebellion. Xu Wuqing even built a tomb for him in Yuhuangling.
, but I didn’t expect that he was actually in the Tianxiong Army.
"When I was in Huangqiao Village, I asked my master to send me to scout for bandits, but I didn't want to be caught by the bandits. They caught me and tortured me for a while, but then for some reason, they threw me in a dungeon and ignored me.
I asked. The rebels surrendered. I explained my identity to the officers and soldiers, but the officers and soldiers didn't believe it. They tattooed me and other rebels with gold seals on their faces and sent them to Lanzhou to serve as soldiers..." Xu Xin also heard this in the army.
Other soldiers from Tongbaishan bandits said something. They knew that Xu Heng was beaten to death by Xu Huai in Huaiyuan Town. Later, Xu Wufu and Xu Chen also died mysteriously one after another. Now standing in front of Xu Huai,
When I talked about my experiences in the past year, I was afraid that he wouldn't believe me, so my words were a little stumbling.
He was also afraid of Xu Huai. He didn't dare to recognize Xu Huai when he saw him just now, but it was Xu Wukun who climbed up to the top of the city and called out to him.
Xu Wuqi knew the details of Xu Wufu sending Xu Xin to inform Zheng Hui. Xu Xin was indeed kept in the dark from the beginning to the end.
Besides, after the death of Xu Wufu and his son, Xu Zhonglin and Xu Wuqing also followed the trend. In order to appease Xu Wufu's old relatives, Xu Wuqing was even elected as the head of the Dazhai household, mainly responsible for the management of the grassland on the north slope.
Therefore, even if Xu Xin might have been forced to become a bandit, Xu Huai and Xu Wukun would never be able to pursue the case.
As for the small grievances he had in Huolu Hall, Xu Huai had long forgotten about it and invited Xu Xin to go into the corner tower to talk.
"Whose subordinate are you in the Tianxiong Army? The North City Tower Gate was attacked just now. What is the situation?" Xu Huai just wanted to send Eucommia ulmoides and Meng Laodao to contact the old people in Tongbai Mountain, but he didn't expect it.
I unexpectedly met Xu Xin again, so of course I had to ask him directly about some matters.
"I was sent to Lanzhou to serve as an army consignment, and I was assigned to the sixth battalion of the third general as a soldier. The battalion commander was Zhang Kui'an. When Zhang Kui'an saw that I was literate and proficient in swords and bows, he asked me to serve him. I usually listen to the generals.
Tian Zhichang’s greeting,”
Seeing that Xu Huai did not treat him harshly, Xu Xin frankly told the story of his exile in the past year.
He had nothing to hide. He had no way to return home this year, and even his previous identity was not recognized. He was just a captured thief in the Tianxiong Army. He saw Xu Wukun, Xu Huai,
I am also very excited and hope that through them, my family can be safe.
"In the afternoon, the commander Zhang Kui'an led his brothers to seize the Beijing Gate. He wanted to go inside to suppress the rebels, but he didn't expect the rebels to be particularly ferocious. He beat them several times but failed to get in. After dark, everyone retreated to the tower to take a rest, but they didn't want to in the middle of the night.
These rebels stole a piece of cake - there were a lot of firewood, carriage carriages and random debris piled up in the city gate tower. When the rebels raided, they fired arrows and ignited the firewood. The fire could not be extinguished, and we were trapped in the city.
On the gate tower, you can only retreat this way."
Looking at Xu Xin's military uniform, Xu Huai knew that he was not only taken in by Zhang Kui'an as a personal soldier, but also a leader of the team.
Listening to his description again, Xu Huai could confirm that these were Xiao Linshi's hidden hands in Datong City and the secret hands that had been hidden in the other three city gates for a long time. Unfortunately, it was delayed until this afternoon to assign the men to control the three city gates.
The soldiers and horses did not arouse enough vigilance, and even when the rebels were asked to counterattack at night, they easily ignited the firewood and disrupted the position.
Xu Xin saw Zhang Kui'an being wounded and escaping from the north gate. Half of the people currently stranded on the city wall were Zhang Kui'an's men, and some were from the Xiang army and were temporarily transferred to guard the city wall.
Most of the Imperial Guard generals of the Tianxiong Army were unwilling to miss the opportunity to enter the city and plunder the city just because they were guarding the city wall.
These people are currently led by Tian Zhichang. They are blocked by Juma and cannot evacuate directly from the city head to Shengde Gate. Tian Zhichang is now thinking of arranging for one or two people to sneak down the city head first and run to inform Zhang Kui'an to find this way.
Negotiate.
Although the city wall was high, it only took some effort for Tian Zhichang to find ropes and even ask the soldiers to take off their belts and connect them together so that they could slide down from the top of the city one by one.
However, in their eyes, the Supervisory Army Embassy at this time was no longer just a decoration.
Although the Tianxiong Army did not know the true story of the Nuanxiang Tower incident, Xu Huai beat a commander beside the envoy to the street in front of the Nuanxiang Tower. Perhaps ordinary soldiers did not hear this. Tian Zhichang, as a subordinate of Ge Huaicong,
The generals still know a thing or two.
So he was blocked at this time and did not dare to act rashly. He could only send someone to Zhang Kui'an to report the matter first.
In addition to Tian Zhichang, including Xu Xin, there are still three section-level soldiers stranded at the top of the city. Since Xu Xin is Zhang Kui'an's personal soldier, his status is slightly higher, especially those who have been broken up into groups, so they will recognize Tian Zhichang.
, Xu Xin.
Zhang Kui'an's tribe was regarded by Ge Huaicong as an elite fighting force. Therefore, after the year, two thousand young and strong Tongbai Mountain bandits were dispersed and placed among the various armies in Lanzhou. Zhang Kui'an's tribe was favored.
At this time, there were only 200 people in the city, and there were about 50 or 60 people who were from Tongbai Mountain banditry; most of these people knew Xu Huai's "evil reputation".
The proportion of old and weak soldiers in the Forbidden Army is indeed too high. Compared with ordinary soldiers, people like Xu Xin, who are good at swords and bows and literate, can be said to be rare talents. It is normal for Zhang Kui'an to recruit him and appoint him.
Back then, compared to Xu Xin's frivolous behavior and arrogant attitude when he was at Yuhuangling, after this year, he is much calmer in all aspects.
When the situation becomes completely chaotic, they only need to control Tian Zhichang, and Xu Xinshi is the best candidate to take charge of this army...
As for the fact that Tian Zhichang had sent people to report to Zhang Kui'an, Xu Huai didn't take it seriously - as direct members of the Supervisory Army Envoy, if they had no temper at all, they would easily get out of the way and let these people evacuate.
