The voice finally quieted down. There were cries in the capital, and the cries came and go. You Miao was dizzy, pushed the water tank out, sneezed, and calmly said, "I remember... The teacher told me that the Tatars attacked the city with bows and arrows. …”
Li Yan was disheartened, very embarrassed, grabbed You Miao, and said, "Be careful, take care of your own life before leading the troops."
You Miao gasped and said, "It's okay... It will take some time before their second wave of flying arrows..."
At this moment, drum beats and shouts sounded outside the city, and the Tartars began to attack the city.
The mountains and seas shouted, and the plain outside the capital suddenly became a battlefield. Li Yan was looking for horses everywhere to go back to the palace, but the horses had already been shot to death. You Miao hurried back to the city gate, but just as he was about to go up, he was guarded by Zhao Chao. dragged down.
Surrounded by a steady stream of soldiers rushing to the city, the scene was extremely chaotic. The brazier and boiling oil were brought to the city tower. Zhao Chao shouted in his ear: "Go back to the palace for me!"
You Miao turned a deaf ear and shouted to Zhao Chao: "No! Now we have to bring all the people to the inner city!"
"The outer city can be defended!" Zhao Chao roared, "The people cannot be evacuated now!"
Outside the city, archery started again, and You Miao shouted, "Listen to me!"
As soon as the Tatars attacked the city, You Miao suddenly recalled what Li Zhifeng had mentioned before. Regarding the fighting habits of the Tatars, the Quanrongs and the Tatars have been fighting outside the Serbia all year round, and they knew their battle routines well. When attacking a city, the enemy is like a hungry wolf, first deterring the enemy with a rain of arrows, but the iron arrows are expensive and limited in number, and they cannot be fired one after another. And the next step is to drive the surrendered soldiers to attack the city on their side. The true main Tatar army recharged in the rear, until the enemy was exhausted and the rear launched a final general attack.
Therefore, taking advantage of this time, we must withdraw all the people into the inner city, otherwise the siege side will be the Han who surrendered to the enemy army and die under the command of the Gyeonggi army, and the Tatar army will throw the heads of its soldiers and soldiers. Entering the city is bound to cause shock and instability in the capital's army.
You Miao quickly explained a few words, Zhao Chao couldn't help gasping for breath, and frowned, "Who told you?"
You Miao said: "Li Zhifeng! Don't ask now! Immediately! Evacuate the people into the city! When the siege army is dead, tomorrow morning, the second wave of arrows will come again!"
Zhao Chao quickly removed the seal and handed it over to You Miao. You Miao prepared a horse and entered the palace. The palace was in chaos. Iron arrows stuck on the ground could be seen everywhere. ?"
You Miao said: "Let someone lead troops to guard, otherwise the second wave of arrows will come, and it will not be able to stop it."
"No!" A civil official said, "How important is the inner city of the palace! How can it be so easily opened? Your majesty is still recovering in the harem, in case a spy enters..."
The prince said: "No... This is no good, it's too risky, You Aiqing, it's not that I don't believe your judgment, but..."
Youmiao was furious and shouted: "The people are the most important! The society is second! The king is the light! Your Highness!"
The prince was sobered up by this drink, the ruler and the minister looked at each other for a long time, the hall was dead silent, and no one dared to speak. After a long time, the prince nodded lightly.
"That's right, according to your method." The prince said, "How do you know these things?"
You Miao bowed and replied, "There is a Quan Rong person in the minister's family, and he told me about it."
The courtiers talked a lot, and the prince said, "Where are the Quanrong people?"
You Miao said, "On the way to Beijing, come and look for me."
The prince sighed and wrote the imperial decree for the emperor, asking You Miao to take the imperial army to open the city gate.
On the 21st day of the twelfth lunar month, all the people in the city began to gather, and the gate of the palace opened, allowing people to enter the inner city. In front of the outer city wall was the descending army of Tianqi, like a crucian carp crossing the river, and began to attack the capital under the arrows and whips of the Tartars. The city wall was full of torches, pouring oil pouring down, You Miao hurried up to the city tower, Zhao Chao was leading the Gyeonggi Army to defend the city.
"That won't work, the supplies will be used up soon." You Miao frowned deeply, looking at the mountains of corpses piled up under the city, many soldiers had been shot into flesh, and some soldiers were soaked in boiling oil. , the stench of flames burning corpses, and the pungent smell of blood drifting into the city.
"None of the Tartars have died, and now all the dead are Tianqi's soldiers, dammit! This group of Hugou is so fucking ruthless!" Zhao Chao said angrily: "We have to think of a way! Otherwise, when the Tartars go into battle, Falling rocks and rolling oil are running out!"
You Miao sighed and looked outside the city. There were 40,000 to 50,000 troops at the vanguard of the siege. They were literally filling the city wall with the corpses of Han Chinese. Those who fled were shot dead by arrows.
"In front are the boiling oil and flint of his own robes." You Miao murmured: "In the back is the sharp sword of Tartar."
Only after capturing the capital can these soldiers survive. Otherwise, once they retreat, they will still be dead. You Miao and Zhao Chao exchanged glances. To solve this dilemma, there is only one way—to let Emperor Tianqi go up to the city tower and suppress the surrender with sovereign power. Soldiers, maybe they can awaken the blood of the soldiers and seize the initiative again.
"I'm going to persuade the emperor to come to supervise the battle." Zhao Chao said: "Only if he stands here, the soldiers will not dare to attack the capital again."
You Miao said: "He may not come, it's too dangerous."
You Miao didn't have much hope for Zhao Min's courage, otherwise the emperor would not have fled in the name of the Southern Tour, but Zhao Chao said: "This time, this time, you should go to the corner tower and rest for a while, and I will enter the palace."
It was almost dawn, and the battle outside stopped for a while. Although the siege was still in progress, the shouting became weaker. Zhao Chao asked his lieutenant to supervise the battle, and You Miao was too tired to find a place anywhere. Close your eyes. The sound of fighting was still in his ears, and the sound gradually drifted away from him. He dreamed that Li Zhifeng had come back, and he ran rampantly outside the city with soldiers who did not know where they came from, killing the Tartars.
I don't know how long I slept, when You Miao was suddenly woken up by the shouting.
"Master You!" Someone shouted in his ear: "Hide!"
The soldiers in the city were in chaos. A general took You Miao up and pushed him under the city wall. Several soldiers guarded him together. There were several chaotic noises. You Miao did not know what was going on, and said loudly, "What happened!"
The stones began to fly in, and another attack of the Tatar army began. This time, thousands of dead heads were mixed in the stones. Before Tang Hui led the troops, after several battles by the Yellow River, they were captured or captured. The head of the slain Apocalypse soldier.
"Where's Zhao Chao?!" You Miao asked again.
The general answered loudly: "His Third Highness is supervising the battle at Ximen! There is also guarding the city!"
Flying stones smashed the roof, smoke rose, and the Tartars burned wolf dung outside the north gate, choking people's eyes. You Miao couldn't tell the direction in the black smoke, ran out a distance, found a war horse and ran to the west gate to find Zhao Chao.
Sure enough, the emperor did not come to supervise the battle. On the 23rd night of the twelfth lunar month, Zhao Hao passed the emperor's throne to the prince and announced it to the whole city. At dawn, in the black smoke brought by the north wind, the Tartars launched a second arrow rain.
This time, there were nearly 100,000 arrows in the rain, all of which were iron arrows of the Apocalypse Army captured in the First Battle of the Yellow River. The rain of arrows was overwhelming and covered the entire capital.
On the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, the surrendered soldiers finally died, and the Tartars sent envoys to knock on the city.
