Chapter 405 The chief executive wants to kill! [Thanks to Xingyuan Xingmeng
Qi Hu slowly shook his head and said: "We have sent people to sneak into the city to contact the Jin Yiwei people, but unfortunately there has been no response yet!"
Jin Yiwei are all over the world. When it comes to intelligence collection capabilities, Dongchang is far behind Jin Yiwei. Although Taiyuan City fell, with the ability of Jin Yiwei, perhaps the Jin Yiwei may be killed by the Tatars on the surface, but the Jin Yiwei secretly
However, the spies may not necessarily be killed by the Tatars.
Even if some of the Jinyiwei defected to the Tatars, it would not be possible to expose all the Jinyiwei spies.
You must know that Jin Yiwei has its own set of effective methods to prevent this. In one place, Jin Yiwei is divided into light and dark. Even the local Jin Yiwei cannot know who the spies of Jin Yiwei are.
Although Chu Yi said he was not in charge of the Jin Yiwei, with Chu Yi's current power, Qian Ning, the commander of the Jin Yiwei, was loyal to Chu Yi and could not be more cooperative with Chu Yi's requirements.
Know yourself and your enemy and you will win every battle. Now they are almost thirty miles away from Taiyuan City. If they march by force, it will take more than half a day. If they don't even know what is going on in Taiyuan City, no one will go there rashly.
Don't know what the result will be.
There is still a certainty of breaking the city. The key thing Chu Yi wants is to conquer Taiyuan City in one go. Otherwise, if there is a delay of a few days, who knows whether Balsborot will have returned to the army.
If his failure to capture Taiyuan City for a while affected his plan to close the door and beat the dogs, wouldn't it be a failure? Maybe all the troops he brought would be killed or injured in the counterattack of Balsboro's army.
heavy.
Xu Tianzuo looked at Chu Yi and said: "General Manager, I am willing to lead troops to attack Taiyuan City at night!"
Chu Yi glanced at Xu Tianzuo lightly and said, "Wait and see!"
There is still plenty of time, so Chu Yi is not too anxious. He is currently waiting for the spies from the Jinyiwei. With his temperament, he never does anything that is uncertain. As long as he knows the true situation of Taiyuan City, he can make a safe decision.
Various arrangements.
The army was resting. Xu Tianzuo, Sun Qiu and others were scratching their heads and scratching their heads in the big tent, looking impatient.
On the other hand, Chu Yi was sitting there, holding a volume of classics in his hand, looking at it very seriously, without any hint of impetuousness.
About an hour later, Qi Hu came quickly with a strong man, and said with a bit of joy on his face: "General Manager, here we come, Du Yong, the secret agent of Taiyuan City's Jinyi Guards, wants to see you!"
Chu Yi put down the scroll in his hand and said slowly: "Send him to come in!"
I saw a man walking in. At first glance, this man looked like a strong farmer. He had rough skin and was honest. Except for his stronger body, he didn't have the posture of a royal guard at all.
However, this person entered the big tent and bowed respectfully: "Taiyuan City, the Jin Yiwei spy Du Yong, pays homage to the general manager!"
Chu Yi nodded slightly and said: "Du Yong, I would like to ask you, what is the situation in Taiyuan City?"
Du Yong took a deep breath and slowly recounted what happened in Taiyuan City during these days. It must be said that as a Jinyiwei spy, Du Yong's ability to control information is much better than ordinary people.
From Du Yong's words, everyone can clearly understand what is going on in Taiyuan City, which is several times more detailed than what they got from the Tatar soldiers.
With a bang, Xu Tianzuo slapped his hand on the table, his face full of anger and said: "Damn it, it's really damnable, the Miao family, Lu family and other family heads in Taiyuan actually defected to the Tatars, not only opened the city gate to attract
When the Tatars enter the city, they are even helping the tyrants to do evil. They deserve to be killed, they really deserve to be killed!"
When Du Yong talked about the turmoil caused by the Miao and Lu families in the city, Xu Tianzuo and other generals who were sitting nearby became furious. Xu Tianzuo couldn't help but curse.
Chu Yi sat there with a calm expression, but one hand was gently stroking the jade ring on his finger.
Qi Hu, who was standing aside, noticed Chu Yi's actions and felt awe-struck. After following Chu Yi for these years, Qi Hu knew some of Chu Yi's habits very well.
Whenever Chu Yi rubbed the jade ring on his finger, it meant that Chu Yi had murderous intentions in his heart.
It was obvious that the actions of the Miao family, Lu family and other families in Taiyuan had successfully aroused Chu Yi's murderous intentions.
After Du Yong finished speaking, he bowed respectfully and said: "Please also ask the general manager to send out the heavenly troops as soon as possible to save the people of Taiyuan City from water and fire!"
Chu Yi looked at Du Yong and said: "Du Yong, let me ask you, the entire Tatar army is stationed in Taiyuan City? Are you sure of this?"
Du Yong said with certainty in his eyes: "I dare to guarantee it with my life. In the past few days, I have quietly inquired about it. At first, these Tatars had more than 2,000 troops stationed outside the city, but these few
Hu Limu, the captain of the Ten Thousand Captains of Rina, transferred all the troops into Taiyuan City."
A slight smile appeared on Chu Yi's lips, and he looked at Xu Tianzuo, Sun Qiu and others.
Xu Tianzuo said excitedly: "General Manager, this is a God-given opportunity. I would like to ask the General Manager to allow me to attack Taiyuan City at night and decide the outcome in one battle."
Sun Qiu was also unwilling to be outdone and stood up to ask for orders: "General Manager, I am willing to pledge my head on my neck to guarantee that I will go to Taiyuan City!"
The other generals saw this and imitated him one by one.
All fools know that the strength of the Tatars lies in riding and shooting. If they are in the wilderness, even if Chu Yi and the others have tens of thousands of troops, unless they can surround the Tatar army while they are not surrounded, otherwise
Five thousand cavalry is really difficult to deal with.
Five thousand cavalry is enough to contain an army of tens of thousands. Especially Chu Yi and his army do not have many cavalry at all. In this case, facing thousands of cavalry on the side, let alone blocking the Tatars' retreat, they can defend themselves.
It would be good to live in Hulimu with a military force.
However, Hu Limu actually gathered all the cavalry in Taiyuan City. In this way, the cavalry completely lost its mobility in the city. If a battle broke out in the city, how could the cavalry be the opponent of the infantry.
So when Xu Tianzuo and Sun Qiu learned that all the Tatars were gathered in Taiyuan City, they were so confident that they even dared to issue military orders.
Chu Yi naturally knew this, with a somewhat relaxed look on his face, his eyes swept over, and finally landed on Xu Tianzuo and Sun Qiu.
Noticing Chu Yi's gaze, Xu Tianzuo and Sun Qiu were used to competing, so naturally they refused to give in to each other, and finally looked at Chu Yi together.
Chu Yi gently knocked on the table with one hand. It was quiet in the big tent. Chu Yi could only hear Chu Yi saying: "Xu Tianzuo, I ordered you to lead 10,000 troops to attack Taiyuan City at night. At dawn, if so,
If you can't take Taiyuan City, I will take your head."
Xu Tianzuo held his fists in excitement and accepted the order: "General, I will obey!"
Seeing Xu Tianzuo striding away, Sun Qiu couldn't help but look a little disappointed on his face.
But then Chu Yi's voice sounded again: "Sun Qiu, I ordered you to lead an army of 10,000 and ambush the remaining three gates of Taiyuan City. You must take down all the Tatar troops. What you can do
arrive?"
Sun Qiu, who originally thought that he had no chance of winning this battle, suddenly heard Chu Yi's order and said almost as a conditioned reflex: "The general will definitely live up to the expectations of the general manager."
Although it is not an important task to siege the city, capturing the defeated soldiers gives you a chance to go to the battlefield, which is better than watching Xu Tianzuo go and perform meritorious service.
Soon Xu Tianzuo and Sun Qiu mobilized their troops and headed straight for Taiyuan City.
While Xu Tianzuo, Sun Qiu and others were attacking Taiyuan City at night, Chu Yi also ordered the army to break camp and slowly move towards Taiyuan City.
Taiyuan City
After a lot of troubles by the Tatars, coupled with the madness of the Miao family, Lu family and other families, the whole Taiyuan City was filled with tremors. At night, Taiyuan City was so quiet that not even a few lights could be seen, as if they were ghosts.
On the city wall, groups of Tatar soldiers clung to the battlements, holding the weapons in their hands listlessly.
At first, the Tatars were very cautious when guarding the city at night, but it has been nearly a month, and not even a ghost has been seen, let alone the Ming army.
As a result, the soldiers guarding the city naturally relaxed all of a sudden.
On top of the city wall of Taiyuan City, at a glance, most of the Tatar soldiers were lying there sound asleep. Even if a few of them managed to stay awake, they were still very sleepy.
In the night, there were sparks on the ground in the distance, and a long dragon gradually became faintly visible, but because of the distance, it was not very conspicuous.
But as the distance got closer and closer, the long dragon became very eye-catching, especially when it was almost a mile away from Taiyuan City, the torch was already quite distinct.
"The enemy is attacking!"
A Tatar soldier vaguely noticed that outside the city, more than 100 Tatar soldiers were almost all asleep. It was good that some of the remaining dozen people noticed the movement outside the city.
This loud shout naturally woke up more than a hundred Tatar soldiers on the city wall. Gulu immediately stood up and looked outside the city wall.
At a glance, I discovered that a sea of torches was rushing towards Taiyuan City. Just looking at the countless torches, there were no less than ten thousand people.
"Go to General Tongbing quickly!"
The Tatars screamed incessantly, and they subconsciously clenched their weapons, but their hearts were filled with fear.
Almost most of them entered the Central Plains for the first time. As for a big city like Taiyuan City, it was also their first time to station in it. Defending the city was really too unfamiliar to them and there was nothing to do with it.
With the experience of defending the city, otherwise, Xu Tianzuo’s troops would not have been discovered so late.
Even though Xu Tianzuo was very careful, the torches were too conspicuous at night. Without the torches, the soldiers could not see the road clearly, so they had no choice but to hope that the Tatars would not react enough.
God is open, at least when Xu Tianzuo and the others approached Taiyuan City, the Tatars discovered their traces.
Thousands of Tatars need to guard the four city walls. Hulimu sent 500 people to each wall. Unfortunately, the generals didn't care at all. They only arranged more than a hundred people on the city walls. Even for these people on the city walls,
Turning a blind eye to sleeping on the city wall does not look like defending the city at all.
Hundreds of soldiers under the city immediately climbed onto the city wall after learning the news of the enemy attack. At this time, Xu Tianzuo and others had already arrived at the gate of Taiyuan City.
All I heard was a shout from the Xu Tian clan: "Soldiers, kill me. The first one to climb the city wall will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver and promoted to the third level!"
As the saying goes, there must be brave men under heavy rewards. When Xu Tianzuo's order was issued, tens of thousands of soldiers were seen in a dark mass, carrying ladders one by one and rushing towards Taiyuan City.
Many soldiers piled the dry firewood they carried on their backs together, and soon there were more than a dozen fires under the city, and the raging fire lit up the night sky.
Although the Tatars could clearly see the soldiers attacking the city through the light of the fire and were able to launch an effective counterattack, for the attacking party, the benefits of the firelight outweighed the disadvantages.
I saw groups of soldiers climbing up the city wall along the ladder and holding their shields.
If the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were defending the city, they must have prepared kerosene, rolling stones, push rods and other defensive equipment on the city wall early.
But these Tatars have no experience in defending the city. There is not a single thing on the city wall that is necessary for defending the city. Instead, there are only furs for sleeping on the ground.
The Tatar general in charge of defending the city looked angrily at the Ming soldiers climbing up the city, and roared: "Shoot, shoot them to death!"
Wherever the arrows passed, dozens or hundreds of soldiers were struck by arrows, but compared to the tens of thousands of soldiers, these casualties were negligible.
Five hundred Tatar soldiers were stationed on the several-mile-long city wall. They simply ignored the head and tail, and it was difficult to provide an effective defense.
Think about it, there is only one Tatar soldier almost a foot away, how big an effect this can have.
In just a short while, more than a dozen places on the city wall were breached. After the Tatar soldiers guarding the city were killed, a large area of the city wall lost the defense of the Tatars, and Ming soldiers continued to attack.
Climbed the city wall.
In Taiyuan City.
In a luxurious mansion, Hu Limu had just enjoyed two robbed women last night. He was sleeping deeply at this moment when a hurried shout came: "General, general, something bad is going to happen!"
Hu Limu frowned, and with a bit of worry, he roared out the door: "What on earth is going on, do you have to disturb my general's rest at this time?"
"The Ming army is attacking the city!"
"What!"
Hu Limu's sleepiness suddenly disappeared, and he sat up suddenly. He rolled out of bed, pulled his clothes and put them on, pulled them apart, reached out and grabbed the soldier's collar and shouted: "You give me this, General"
Tell me clearly, where did the Ming army come from?"
The pro-soldier said with a panic look on his face: "General, if you don't believe me, it's really Ming soldiers and horses attacking the city!"
Hu Limu listened carefully, and there was indeed a faint cry of killing coming from the direction of the north city gate. Hu Limu's expression suddenly changed, he pushed the soldier away and said angrily: "God damn the Ming army, how dare you attack the city?
I want to see how they can resist my Tatar cavalry!"
