Mu Tianbo hurriedly looked outside the city and found that the rebels on Dongshan Mountain were cutting down trees to build ladders. Many cavalry and elephant soldiers were circling the city, obviously planning to attack the city. Mu Tianbo was not panicked about this, because Wan's idea of the troops was enough.
It was impossible to destroy the city, but he saw an opportunity!
He wanted to send people out to report the situation while the rebels were busy preparing for war. This was a dangerous move, but he had to do it now.
Wan led five thousand soldiers and horses to surround the city of Kunming, which was nine miles in circumference. Of course, the main soldiers and horses were concentrated near the city gate. It would be extremely difficult for the city to send people secretly to report the news. Few people left the city.
They will be captured unless a large force is sent out from the city gate to cover them. However, there are only two thousand soldiers and horses in the city. They have to guard the six gates separately. If the number of people is small, it means losing their lives. If they all gather in one place and rush out, it is very likely that the messenger will send the message.
After going out, the other doors were directly broken down by the rebels!
But now Mu Tianbo thinks that the opportunity has come. The rebels are logging on the mountains outside the city to build carts, ladders and other siege equipment. Most of their troops have been used, and there are only a few blocking the gates below the city. If they don't leave now, how long will it take?
At this point, twenty-eight death squads were drawn from the army and asked to go out of the city to ask for help.
There are six city gates in Kunming City. To the west is the Dianchi Lake and you will be blocked with no way to escape. To the east is the mountain that is the base camp of the rebels and there is no way to go. There are only the north gate and the south gate. Mu Tianbo decided to go north.
The gate is the breakthrough point, and five hundred soldiers are entangled to prepare to rush through the north gate to cover the death squads from leaving the city. Of course, these twenty-eight people will not be concentrated in one place. When the north gate launches the attack, they will break out from all directions of the city wall by falling to the ground with ropes.
, at that time the rebels’ attention must have been on the north gate. The defenses in other places were weak, and they had a high chance of breaking out.
The operation started at midnight!
Most of the rebels outside the city were busy on the mountain. Suddenly, they heard several loud noises. The officers and soldiers fired artillery at the top of the city, blasting at the rebels outside the city. At the same time, the south gate and the north gate opened wide and they rushed out.
Hundreds of officers and soldiers!
A sneer appeared on the corner of Wan's mouth on Dongshan Mountain. Mu Tianbo really couldn't hold back his anger, but all of this was within his own calculations!
The rebels outside the city knew very well that the officers and soldiers who rushed out were certainly not just fighting, they wanted to break out and ask for help!
Beautiful thought!
The rebels immediately rushed from all over to encircle them, with cavalry, elephants, infantry, muskets, knives and forks all thrown at them. The earth cannons hidden in the dark also began to bombard the city gate, and the officers and soldiers rushed out of the two gates to block and fight!
It worked! Mu Tianbo, who was watching the battle on top of the city, saw the two soldiers and horses rushing out of the city attracting the firepower of the rebels outside the city. He immediately ordered the scattered death squads to go down to the city to break out. Soon these people went down to the city and then
To cross the water and land...
A moat is a circle. When it traps its enemies, it also traps itself!
If the officers and soldiers want to fight out, they must go out where there is a bridge, but the outside of the bridge has been blocked by the rebels! It doesn't take much troops to block the two bridges. He has more troops patrolling the moat outside the city.
, so many suicide squad members were shot in the water before they even landed,
The fighting was fierce and short. There were too few officers and soldiers to fight out. If it weren't for the fire suppression from the city when they retreated, they almost lost the city gate! And the heads of the twenty-eight death squads were quickly hung on the city by the rebels.
Demonstration in the trees outside!
Facts have proved that there is no problem in defending the city with a shortage of troops, but if you want to break out, you overthink it, and Wan has already left a backup force to guard against him, so that the breakout battle ends in failure and more than a hundred people die!
Mu Tianbo was so angry that his face turned blue, and he whipped Sha Dingzhou more than a dozen times. The guy didn't moan, but laughed loudly: "My son, if you just let me go, we can still live in peace, otherwise the beating will continue."
Well, you must be the one who suffers!"
The days are like a year, both inside and outside the city seem to be calm but in fact they are restless, but no one takes the initiative to let go. Unknowingly, the sky has darkened, and Sha Dingzhou and Tang Jianjia, who have been hanging for a day, are hungry and thirsty.
What's more terrible is that the whole body was tied up, causing blood circulation to stop, and the whole body was swollen and turned black and blue. It was very scary, and the two of them couldn't bear to moan.
"Scream louder, let that witch hear you!" Mu Tianbo roared angrily, and Sha Dingzhou said fiercely: "If I die, you should know the consequences!"
"You can rest assured, thief, you will die first no matter what! Go to the Palace of Hell to realize your dream of eternal greatness." Wu Zhaoyuan also came to splash water: "It doesn't matter if your witch breaks the city, then you
He is also dead and has nothing to do with you!"
Sha Dingzhou said nothing and only moaned.
It was getting dark, and firelights lit up everywhere outside the city. Mu Tianbo stared at all this in a daze. This was the most difficult thing he had encountered since he ascended the throne. He was usually very confident, but at this time he was helpless, making it ridiculous for the governor and his gang.
People are also powerless and can only sigh and shake their heads.
Who said that, Wu Wenying suddenly had an idea!
I couldn't rush out during the day, but I couldn't do it at night. With black lights and blind eyes, I sent people down to the city to cross the water. I didn't believe that the thieves could still surround the city hand in hand. Mu Tianbo listened, so he took out thirty more death squads
, let the fire at the top of the city go out to cover their whereabouts, and let them secretly go down to the city to break out. With the cover of night, they have great confidence!
Unexpectedly, just as they were getting ready, the fire outside the city suddenly became much brighter. It could be seen that many rebels were walking back and forth along the moat to patrol. This witch Wan was so smart. She knew what Mu Tianbo was going to do when she saw the fire at the top of the city dimming.
.
If the first plan failed, there would be no second plan. Mu Tianbo and others were not to mention depressed. Wu Zhaoyuan could only comfort himself. Those inside could not go out to report the news, but those outside should have discovered something!
Not to mention that there is Wuding County fifty miles to the north of Kunming City and Anning County a hundred miles to the west of the city. Even the front lines attacking Yuanmou will receive the latest military reports every day. Once these people find out that Kunming City is besieged, they will immediately notify the front line coalition forces to return.
Soldier.
But this was just a self-comfort. Wu Zhaoyuan and others knew very well in their hearts that since the Wan family could guard against breakouts from inside, how could they not guard against outside investigations? Presumably, the ten-mile radius around Kunming was controlled at this time. Ordinary people were prohibited from approaching, and the front line was informed.
They probably killed the people as soon as they entered the territory. If the front line didn't get news for a day or two, they wouldn't have sent back the army. At most, they would have sent a few more people to see what was going on, but this small number of people came here.
Nine times out of ten, they will have dug a hole and buried it. Only after ten and a half days have passed and no one has returned from the front line can it be possible to mobilize the army to return to Kunming. But will it be too late by then?
Of course, there are no absolutes in the world. Although it is a self-comfort, everyone still holds on to a glimmer of hope and possibility, just in case someone slips through the net and escapes!
People will always have some vague and unrealistic illusions when they are in trouble.
People in the city were like ants on a hot pot, and people outside the city were suffering too. Looking at the hanging Sha Dingzhou on the top of the city, Wan's heart felt like a knife. She knew that no one could survive three days, but Mu Tianbo was like
She was so cruel that she wanted to hang him alive. If Sha Dingzhou was really dead, what would be the point of conquering Kunming City by herself, so she had to take measures quickly!
It was late at night, and Mu Tianbo could no longer hold on, but instead of going back home to rest, he made bunks in the tower, including Wu Zhaoyuan and others. Several yamen bosses each guarded one door, for fear of something slipping up.
.
Mu Tianbo had a dream, a nightmare! He dreamed that the Wan family led their troops to invade, and they killed and looted in the city without committing any crimes. The entire Kunming city was filled with the sound of fighting and screams. The sound was something he had never heard before... This
He suddenly woke up with a cold sweat, but suddenly realized that it was not a dream, and there was really a noise of fighting outside.
Did the thief come in? Mu Tianbo was so frightened that he lay down and rushed out, but was stopped by his personal attendant: "Don't panic, my lord, the thief tried to climb up the wall from the small east gate in the dark and was found and beaten."
retreat……"
It turns out that Wan Yaopo was also anxious! Mu Tianbo breathed a sigh of relief. Wan's move was obviously to rescue Sha Dingzhou.
She can't last much longer!
But how long can I hold on?
The opponent's reinforcements can arrive in three days at most, oh no, they can arrive in two days. At that time, tens of thousands of people besieging the city will be a big trouble!
It seems that we have no choice but to delay the attack!
