If cats can also drill into mouse holes, then does mice still have room for survival? The answer is naturally no. Similarly, in the impression of everyone in the Ming Dynasty, the Tatars have always been just powerful in field battles, but when it comes to defending and sieging the city, they have almost no good way except relying on a brute force to attack the city with the most simple tools and fearless spirit of death.

It is precisely because of this reason that Zhu Houzhao dared to use himself as bait, but when the Tatar army really started to attack the city, everyone in Xuanfu Town was silent. This damn Tatars did not play according to the routine.

As soon as the Tatars arrived, they built a camp outside Xuanfu Town. They had not yet attacked the city that day, but had to bury the pot and cook rice and rested peacefully.

The next morning, the Tatars came out of the camp and started gathering, and then the shiny things came out. Four-wheeled ladders, catapults, breaking doors, and rushing cars... Are they still Tatars? Is there such a complete set of siege equipment when the Ming soldiers siege the city?

Zhu Houzhao stood on the city tower and saw that his heart was cold and his calves were spinning. His uncontrollable anger could be seen from his white joints just pinching the sword handle at his waist.

"Who can tell me where did these Tatars get the map of these siege equipment?"

Jiang Bin, who was standing beside Zhu Houzhao, was also panicked. He had already arranged to visit the horses and inspected it. The entire Xuanfu Town was surrounded by Tatar soldiers. Even if Jiang Bin wanted to take Zhu Houzhao out of Xuanfu Town and go to Juyong Pass now, it would be impossible for Jiang Bin to take Zhu Houzhao out of Xuanfu Town to Juyong Pass.

Jiang Bin said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, I have arranged for people to start digging tunnels in Zhenguo Mansion. If you encounter any danger, the emperor can escape from the tunnel first. Finally, he will swear to fight the enemy to death. If the person is in the city, the person will be lost and the person will die!"

Zhu Houcai looked at Jiang Bin, and he patted Jiang Bin on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry about the gains and losses of such a city. Even if we lose this Xuanfu, we still have a chance to take it back."

"Swoosh swish swish swish..." Suddenly, the sound of breaking through the air sounded, and Jiang Bin quickly pulled Zhu Houzhao back. Several extremely fast feather arrows shot from the air, and several moves rushed towards Zhu Houzhao's face. Jiang Bin waved his right hand and directly pushed the feather arrows away. Among them, one or two feather arrows Jiang Bin did not touch, but still changed his running trajectory.

Zhu Houzhao gasped for two big mouthfuls, and Jiang Bin said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, this place is very dangerous. You should go to Zhenguo Mansion first. Please rest assured if you have the last one here."

"Okay." Zhu Houzhao nodded, but just turned around but stopped again, then turned back and said, "No, I am the king of a country. How can I be so greedy for life and death? I am here and tell the soldiers that the emperor is here to defend the enemy with them. If I can defeat the Tatars, I will personally perform my merits for them."

Jiang Bin was slightly shocked, but when he saw Zhu Houzhao's firm appearance, he knew that Zhu Houzhao had made a decision and could not persuade him. Jiang Bin nodded, bowed his fists and replied, "Yes! I will obey the order!"

After the Tatars' tricycle arrows were shot, they immediately began to throw Xuanfu Town with a catapult. Huge stones fell from the air in a mess. The tragic situation of the soldiers who were hit was simply unbearable to look at them.

Jiang Bin ran on the city tower and shouted loudly: "Brothers, the emperor is here to fight against the enemy with us. If he can defeat the Tatars, the emperor will personally give you rewards."

"Emperor? The Emperor is in Xuan Mansion?" The soldiers on the city tower who were pressed and beaten so hard that they could not raise their heads were shouting, and I don't know who called out: "The General of Zhenguo is the Emperor. Everyone should work hard, and see the glory and wealth today."

With such remarks, you can instantly feel the morale of the soldiers and generals on the city tower. Everyone gritted their teeth and shot arrows against them, but after all, they were condescending.

The arrows on the city tower were much more accurate than those on the city tower. As the two sides went back and forth, the Tatars' ladders were getting closer and closer. Both sides suffered great casualties, but fortunately, the morale on the city tower is now good, and this time I made sufficient preparations to defend the city, it might not be so easy for the Tatars to attack the city.

The Tatars were indeed as if everyone had the impression of them. They were extremely fierce when siegeing the city. They didn't have a scimitar on their waists or held a scimitar in their mouths and climbed up the ladders. Needless to say, the huge rocks and pounding trees that were constantly thrown down on the city tower could not stop them at all. A Tatar soldier fell from the ladders, and three or five Tatar soldiers rushed up the ladders again.

Some people may still think that the so-called cloud ladder is the long bamboo ladder used on TV in later generations. In fact, the wisdom of the ancients is far more than that.

The real cloud ladder actually has a very solid base underneath, and there are wooden wheels under it for rolling. There are two iron hooks at the top of the cloud ladder. After pushing it to the edge of the city tower, the iron hook will hook the edge and fix the cloud ladder on the city tower.

Such a ladder is one that makes it easy to push down the city tower during combat, and the other is that it is not easy to be stabbed by someone with a bamboo pole. Similar to the method of using bamboo to climb the city tower, it is actually not much different from using human lives to build a city.

Not long after the siege began, the Tatars had already climbed the city tower from several places. Jiang Bin finally had a place to display his martial arts. He saw his sword unsheathed, and he seemed to have him and his guards everywhere on the city tower.

No Tatars could stand for more than ten seconds wherever they passed.

"The oil is coming!" Someone shouted, and a group of soldiers carried several barrels of oil to the city tower. The oil seemed nothing, but when the soldiers scooped a scoop down the city tower with a special scoop, the oil immediately made a "sizzling" sound when it was stained with the skin of the Tatar soldiers, which showed how high the temperature of the oil was.

In addition to the boiling oil, the ignition oil was also brought in at the same time. The dark ignition oil was poured down from the city tower, and then a little torch was raised, and the fire burned, and the ladder was engulfed by the flames.

Outside Xuanfu Town, Da Yanhan, who had been riding on the war horses to watch the siege progress, frowned slightly. Obviously, the progress of attacking Xuanfu was not as smooth as he expected.

Dayan Han waved his hand and said, "Ming Jin to withdraw his troops."

"Yes!" The personal guards beside Dayankhan responded and immediately sent an order.

Dangdangdangdangdang heard the Tatars' sound of the slogging and withdrawing the troops. Jiang Bin immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and he pestled a long sword in his hand on the ground, and his whole body was constantly gasping for breath.

No matter how high his martial arts are, he is always a human, not a god.

If you are a person, you will be tired and tired. Jiang Bin has been wandering back and forth with his guards to help, and the true energy in his body has already bottomed out. In the end, he almost relies on his physical fitness and combat instinct to kill the enemy.

Even so, Jiang Bin had a few colors hanging on his arm, but fortunately his injuries were not serious.

The Tatars retreated, but they were not defeated. Everyone in Xuanfu Town just breathed a sigh of relief, and then their hearts became heavier.

Anyone who has fought the war understands that the first attack is actually just a test. The real offensive must be still behind.

But the first battle was already so difficult, how long can I last?

The soldiers were thinking about this problem, the generals were thinking about it, and Zhu Houzhao and Jiang Bin thought about it again. Now Zhu Houzhao only hopes that the surprise soldier he sent can arrive at Shajing as soon as possible and then successfully capture Shajing.

In addition, Jiangxia is here.

As soon as they left Juyongguan, they found that there were not many things. Many refugees who fled were heading to Juyongguan, as if they were preparing to retreat to Juyongguan to take refuge.

Jiang Xia used a few steamed buns to ask about several refugees, and the results he got made him feel very serious.

The Tatars had already started a war with the Ming Dynasty. The four towns of Xuanfu were surrounded, and the other three towns of Yansui, Datong and Liaodong were almost abandoned. Any Tatar cavalry came to harass her, and the troops of the three towns were not enough to organize an effective counterattack, so the people of the three towns fled together.

Jiang Xia was very nervous when he knew that Xuan Mansion was surrounded and Zhu Houzhao was trapped in danger.

When the group had just walked to a small town not far from Yu County, Jiang Xia took the initiative to find Wang Shunfeng to say goodbye to him.

Wang Shunfeng knew that Jiang Xia must have something important to do, so he was in such a hurry, so he didn't try to keep him, but just said to Jiang Xia to take care of him.

After saying goodbye to Wang Shunfeng, Jiang Xia went to the female boss to say goodbye.

At the door of the house where the female boss lived, there were four wooden men, Ajia, Ayi, Abing, and Ading, guarding them. Jiang Xia expressed his intention to come to the four of them. Ajia nodded and asked Jiang Xia to wait, and then entered the report.

After reporting, Ah Jia went out and said to Jiang Xia, "Please please come from Mr. Jiang."

Jiang Xia nodded and walked into the female boss's room.

The female boss still remains mysterious, and when she meets Jiang Xia, there is a screen.

However, Jiang Xia thought that this might be someone else's habit, so she didn't care. She said through the screen: "Miss Wei, after so many days, Jiang Xia has to say goodbye first because she still has important things to do."

The female boss named Wei coughed twice, and then said in a slightly hoarse voice: "There is a war outside the pass, and Mr. Jiang must be careful when he goes there."

"Jiang Xia will pay attention, but Miss Wei himself. There is no need to be inside the pass, but girls themselves should also pay attention to safety."

"Thank you, the young master, for your concern, the little girl will pay attention."

After saying that, the female boss coughed a few more times.

Jiang Xia said to the screen: "Take care, Miss Wei, I'm going to say goodbye."

"Young Master walks slowly."

After the female boss responded, Jiang Xia retreated.

When Jiang Xia didn't leave much, the woman's voice immediately came from the room.

"Ajia."

Soon the door opened and Ah Jia walked into the room.

The female boss's voice behind the screen was no longer hoarse, but became a little lazy.

The female boss said: "Looking at Jiang Xia and the others' movements, if they leave, we will set off for Yu County immediately."

"Yes!" Ajia replied.
