Alsileng Khan asked Gu Xu to sit down, and then returned to his seat. He asked kindly: "The general is the commander-in-chief of Miyun, and he must know Miyun's defense very well. I wonder what the general can teach me?"
Gu Xu was already a little flattered at this time. He thought that the Tatars were ruthless, and he was afraid that his life would be in danger. Unexpectedly, the Khan not only did not blame him, but instead treated him so favorably. Although he knew in his heart that this was what the other party thought of him.
There is still value for use. But after the fear just now and the huge difference between now and now, Gu Xu couldn't help but feel excited.
When he heard the Great Khan's question, he quickly stood up and said: "Great Khan, I know the defense of Miyun very well. There are not many soldiers in the city, and there are many shortages of equipment. The Great Khan only needs to lead the army to attack, surround the city on all sides and attack together.
, Miyun was not given a chance to breathe, and there were not many soldiers on the other side, and they were scattered on the four walls. As a result, there were only one or two thousand men on each wall. As long as the Khan did not waste his troops, the city would be broken within three to five days."
Alsileng Khan was a little confused by what he said, so he asked bluntly: "Miyun is an important town in the north, how can it only have such a force? Why are the equipment so insufficient?"
When Gu Xu heard Alsileng Khan ask this question, his face couldn't help but feel a little hot. He murmured in his mouth, not knowing how to answer. In the end, he could only mutter: "It's because the food and salary provided by the imperial court are insufficient, and the soldiers below have to live."
, so the generals under me can only eat empty pay to maintain everyone's combat effectiveness." After saying this, his face felt hot, and he finally lowered his head and did not dare to look at Alsileng Khan, fearing that the other party would be disappointed in him.
Alsileng Khan is also a human spirit. You can tell what's going on by looking at his expression. His evaluation of Gu Xu has dropped to the extreme. If it weren't for the time of employment, he would have been pushed out and killed. Like this
In the future, what a person wants is to become the leader of his own tribe, and then his own people will not know what kind of ill treatment they will receive from him.
Gu Xu also knew that the Tatar Great Khan's evaluation of him would definitely decline, so he felt that he should make up for his past mistakes, so he handed over his hand to Alsileng Khan and said: "Great Khan, there is a serious shortage of arrows in Miyun City now, there are only about 40,000 to 50,000 arrows.
As for the shortage of rolling wood and thunder stones, the opponent's new general cannot defend Miyun City even though he is extremely capable. Tomorrow the Great Khan will just send troops, and I think it will only take a few days to break through."
Alsileng Khan arrived at the details of Miyun. He no longer had any doubts about capturing Miyun and going straight to the capital. He was now thinking about the matter of time. He must reach the capital in the shortest possible time and then start plundering. Otherwise
When all the Qinwang soldiers from all over the world arrive together, the soldiers of the Southern Dynasty will be weak in combat effectiveness, but once they reach a certain number, they can still drink a pot of their own.
Alsileng Khan sat upright and said to the generals below: "Now start building siege equipment. It must be fully prepared within three days. After three days, the entire army will attack the city without giving it a chance to breathe. In the shortest possible time
Take the Miyun inside."
When all the generals in the tent heard Arslen Khan's order, they all bowed their hands and saluted, saying: "I will obey the order of the Great Khan."
Alsileng Khan then asked everyone to disperse. Gu Xu still had some use, so he arranged a tent for him alone. He also promised that he would be rewarded heavily when he returned to the grassland.
Although Gu Xu was a little uneasy, he had originally planned to bring the intact Miyun City and thousands of troops to seek refuge. Unexpectedly, something went wrong at the last moment. Now he was alone among the Tatars.
Living under the shelter of others in the camp, now that he thought about it, it would be better to fight to the death and maybe still have some chance of survival. Gu Xu couldn't help but regret in his heart.
Let’s talk about what happened in Miyun City. It turns out that although Zhou Wu was Gu Xu’s confidant, he had done many unscrupulous things for him. Such as reselling military rations, withholding military pay, and smuggling weapons to the grassland. These were all things he often did.
.And this person has secretly done a lot of things to bully men and dominate women. Zhou Wu's name has become synonymous with bad guys in Miyun City.
But this time he heard that Gu Xu wanted to surrender to the Tatars. On the surface, he did not dare to object and strongly supported it. In fact, he was furious in his heart.
Although Zhou Wu has done a lot of bad things, he has a sense of pride in his heart as a member of the Celestial Dynasty. This pride is innate. If it hadn't been for this, he might have continued to exist as a bad guy.
.But since he knew that Gu Xu was going to surrender to the enemy, he was determined to do something for this country.
That night, because Gu Xu wanted to go out of the city to meet the Tatar generals, he asked Zhou Wu to take care of the captured families and important officials.
Zhou Wu saw that the opportunity had come, so he quietly came to the garrison with his hundred-man team. First, in the name of changing defenses, he gathered all Gu Xu's soldiers into the compound. Gu Xu's soldiers all knew that Zhou Wu
Wu was Gu Xu's confidant. He also received the order to escort the prisoners. Zhou Wu would be responsible for it, so he was not on guard.
As a result, these more than a hundred soldiers had just been assembled, and countless arrows were fired from all directions. Before these people had time to react, they suffered heavy losses. Next, Zhou Wu led his team of 100 people to kill them. These people were now unarmed. Where could they go?
Zhou Wu's opponents were all heavily armed, and they were all killed quickly.
After Zhou Wu finished dealing with Gu Xu's soldiers, he went to the woodshed to rescue the officials. Only by rescuing these people could the troops in Miyun City be mobilized to resist the incoming Tatars.
At this time, all the thousands of households and important civil servants had woken up. When these people woke up and found that they were tied up in the woodshed, they knew something was wrong. Everyone knew in their hearts that they had fallen into Gu Xu's trick, and now Gu Xu might have
The city was dedicated to the Tatars, and I'm afraid the consequences for people like myself would be disastrous.
Although these civil and military ministers wanted to communicate, they could only stare at each other because their mouths were gagged. When they were anxious, they suddenly heard a scream outside. These people could not help but tremble in their hearts, thinking that Gu Xu
We have begun to eliminate dissidents.
Not long after the screams, the door of the woodshed was opened, and everyone saw Zhou Wu coming in from the outside. Everyone knew that Zhou Wu was Gu Xu's confidant, so seeing him come in at this time, they thought that this time it was more serious than bad.
Unexpectedly, after Zhou Wu came in, he ordered the soldiers to untie everyone's ropes. Everyone rubbed their wrists and looked at Zhou Wu silently, wanting to know what the hell he was up to.
Seeing that everyone had been loosened, Zhou Wu cupped his hands and said, "My lords, I, Zhou Wu, have been offended many times before. I know I am not a good person, but I still have some national integrity. This time Gu Xu surrendered to the enemy and betrayed my country. Although I am not talented.
, and we must not follow him. So I took my troops and killed those soldiers, and asked you all to go back and mobilize your troops as soon as possible. Soon the Tatars will come to take over Miyun City. I'm afraid it will be too late by then."
Everyone looked at each other in confusion at this time, not knowing whether to believe him or whether Miyun Chief Xie Wang had some prestige among everyone, so they spoke first: "Since you are sincerely serving the country, there is no need to worry. When the Tatars retreat, I will definitely
I will show my merits to the imperial court."
Zhou Wu was already impatient at this time. He said this again, so he said impatiently: "My lords, what time is it now? It's too late to be polite here. Please rectify your troops quickly and set up an ambush in Wengcheng. I will delay them first."
Time, when the time comes, the safety of Miyun City depends on you all." After saying that, he walked towards the city gate with a look of despair on his face.
Because Zhou Wu himself knew that no matter whether he went there successfully or not, he would never come back alive. This could be regarded as being loyal to the country and leaving a good reputation after his death.
Looking at this situation, Xie Wang knew that Zhou Wu was sincerely serving his country, and now Miyun City was leaderless. If there was no one to take charge, he might not be able to persist.
So Xie Wang overstepped his authority and ordered everyone: "Now that the situation is urgent, I will temporarily take charge of Miyun's military and political affairs. Each thousand households immediately took their troops to Wengcheng to ambush, and the Tatars must be driven out of Miyun. The others will immediately
The houses were demolished and all kinds of bricks, stone strips and timber were transported to the entrance of the city in preparation for defending the city. Do you have any objections?"
Everyone really didn't know what to do now. Now that they had a backbone, they naturally obeyed the orders and quickly made preparations.
Only then did Gu Xu and Burigude enter the city unprepared, and tens of thousands of arrows from the Weng City fired at once, driving the Tatars out of Miyun City.
After the Tatars were driven out of Miyun, Xie Wang rushed to the city gate. Seeing Zhou Wu with his head missing, he couldn't help sighing that people should not be judged by their appearance. Although Zhou Wu had done some bad things, he had no moral integrity in terms of national justice.
He was a man at a loss, so he ordered his body to be gathered up and temporarily placed in the City God's Temple. After the Tatars retreated, they could go to the imperial court to express their merits. It was also worthy of the fact that he had lost his life for the sake of national justice.
After Xie Wang sighed for a while, he put these things behind him, summoned all the thousands of households in Miyun City, and asked them to take turns guarding the city. He also summoned all the men in the city who were over fifteen years old and under fifty years old.
Ding, issue weapons and order them to assist the officers and soldiers in defending the city. If there are insufficient weapons, cut wood into soldiers. At least let everyone have one weapon available.
The rich gentry in the city were very dissatisfied with this. After all, these people had always been pampered, and now they were asked to go to the city to fight the Tatars. They were not willing, so there were many resisters.
Xie Wang was not polite at this time, but if there was any disobedience, Chaomo's family would be executed immediately. All the family property would be used to reward the soldiers, and all the men in their family members would be driven to the top of the city as the first batch to resist the Tatars.
existence, so no one in the city dared to resist.
In this way, Xie Wang was able to organize tens of thousands of people in just one or two days. Xie Wang sent experienced veterans from the army to conduct temporary training on these people, only asking them to learn some basic skills.
The concept of fighting will save a few people from dying.
Since he didn't know how long the Tatars would besiege the city, the second thing Xie Wang did after gathering all the young men was to collect all the grain in the city and distribute it uniformly. He also issued a notice, and anyone who hid a grain of grain secretly would be killed.
The decision was made. This aroused opposition from the wealthy households again, but with lessons learned from the past, no one dared to resist this time. They could only accept it silently, preparing to file a lawsuit against him in the court after the Tatars retreated.
The third thing he did was to publicize to the people in the city that the Tatars were barbaric and unreasonable, and to massacre the city at Gubeikou, making everyone believe that if Miyun City was destroyed, everyone would not escape the fate of being massacred, so as to arouse the common hatred of the people in the city.
will.
There is no need for him to publicize this. No one in the city knows the barbarism of the Tatars. If the city is destroyed, I am afraid that none of the women in the city will be able to escape the fate of being raped.
So these women began to encourage the men who went to defend the city, telling them to fight to the death and not worry about their families. If the city was broken, they would definitely keep the festival for them.
Under the influence of several aspects, Miyun City has now become a huge fortress, and everyone in the fortress is determined to die.
