Pengchuk's words immediately ignited the blood in everyone's hearts. Finally, the mighty army didn't have to hide their whereabouts, and they all stood up from their hiding places, holding the siege equipment that had been prepared in their hands, and headed towards the direction of Datong City. swooped on.

Soldiers, what are you most proud of?

Of course, it is military merit. Having military merit means having everything. Gold, silver, jewelry, beautiful women, high-ranking officials and high salaries, all of which require more military merit to achieve. The commanding officer Lei Keming was looking forward to a battle as soon as possible every day, so that he could make a big splash like He Jiaan.

It's just that what I want is He Jiaan's way of fighting, not his current fate. According to myself, He Jiaan is indeed capable, but he is too straightforward. Now who doesn't know that Jiang Bin is the emperor's heart Meat, who dares to offend him easily?Even Zhang Youxiao, the general soldier of Datong, pretended to be stupid and said nothing without looking at it, which made it look like you were so powerful that Jiang Bin couldn't get off the stage in front of so many people. Jiang Bin was still safe and sound. It seemed that after Jiang Bin returned from victory this time, shouldn't it be time for him to flatter him?To save the next time he encounters such an easy battle, he will not bring himself.

When the army set off, Lei Keming was the supreme commander in Datong City, but he also knew that he would not be able to hold this position for long, and he didn't mean to transfer the cannons of the Shenji Battalion to the city wall. With a few people squatting in a small tavern not far from the city gate, drinking wine leisurely while waiting for the army to return from victory, it would be the first time for him to go up and congratulate Mr. Jiang Binjiang.

Just when the wine was hot, Lei Keming suddenly caught a strange sound in his ears. This sound was like many mosquitoes buzzing around his ears, which made his mood suddenly change. He became unhappy, and without even raising his head, he scolded impatiently: "Restaurant, why are there so many mosquitoes in your store?"

"My lord, where are the mosquitoes coming from in such a cold day?" The restaurant was also dumbfounded.

That's right, it's the twelfth lunar month. Where did the mosquitoes come from?Lei Keming froze for a moment, slowly raised his head, and listened carefully to the buzzing of the mosquito, but it seemed to become louder.

The expression on Lei Keming's face gradually froze, and when he was carefully distinguishing the source of the sound, someone outside the tavern suddenly ran over shouting, rushed to the door of the tavern and shouted loudly: "My lord, it's not good , the Tatars rushed over."

"What did you say?" At that moment, the drunkenness on Lei Keming's face disappeared, and he ran to the door in two steps, picked up the messenger by the neck, and shouted: "Say it again, Who is here?"

"Tatars, all Tatars, listen, my lord, they are the ones who make this sound."

This time Lei Keming finally heard what the voice was shouting. After he understood the content of the voice, his rosy face immediately turned pale, and he looked at the direction of the city wall dully, as if consciously When he arrived, he suddenly shouted: "Everyone, hurry up to the city wall, the Tatars are coming."

Chapter 1055 The Bird of Fright

In Lei Keming's impression, the Tatars shouldn't be ten miles away, waiting to be besieged by the army. Why did they suddenly appear under the city of Datong?

For a while, Lei Keming couldn't turn his head around this corner, and hurriedly took a few of his followers to the city wall of Datong.

When he was down there, Lei Keming could only hear the sound. After he climbed the city wall, he finally saw the crowd making the sound. It was a good thing he didn't see it. When he saw the dense black spots outside the city, Immediately I was dumbfounded.

Although I am the commander of the Shenji Battalion, I usually practice how to shoot, how to fire cannons, and how to guard the city. I guess even Jiang Bin didn't expect that he would accidentally commit such a big crime. Wrong, just kept people here, but forgot that Lei Keming didn't know how to defend the city at all.

Just when Lei Keming was dumbfounded, the movements of Penchuk under the city were exceptionally agile. He knew that the speed of soldiers was very important, and he wanted to compete with the army outside the city for time. Only by attacking Datong City quickly could he Can avoid the fate of being attacked from inside and outside.

Therefore, as soon as he came up, Pengchuk rushed to the city with everyone desperately.

It wasn't until they arrived outside the city of Datong that the sporadic arrows outside the city fell, but the arrows in twos and threes couldn't reach a large scale, and there was no way to suppress the enemy outside the city. Pengchuk could see clearly that he hadn't expected it wrong. Sure enough, the defenders above were not prepared, as long as they broke through the city wall, they could capture the emperor of the Han people.

The ladders used for siege are built while walking. Although they are very simple, they are stronger than others. Once they are put on the top of the city, the people below will quickly climb up the ladder. Of course, there must be ladders. Being overturned caused certain casualties, but in Penchuk's view, all sacrifices are worthwhile, as long as he can attack Datong, he can bear everything.

After the initial panic, Lei Keming calmed down a little bit, and began to order his subordinates to counterattack in an orderly manner. After all, the Ming army had an advantage in terms of location. This is the greatest victory.

For a while, the competition between the two sides became stalemate.

Punchuk in the city sees it in his eyes, but he is anxious about it. For him, time is his biggest enemy. Laxi, who is tempting the enemy, does not know what is happening now. If he can't restrain most of the Ming army If he was far away, he could only turn around and run this way.

At this moment, his confidant Daji suddenly pointed to a direction above the city wall and said, "My lord, look there."

what's there?

Peng Chuke looked in the direction of Daji's finger, there were only some Ming troops there, and it was no different from other places. Just when Peng Chuke was about to ask Daji what he saw, his eyes suddenly paid attention. Arrived alone.

A man in chain mail.

Punchuk's experience told him that this man was definitely not an ordinary soldier, otherwise he wouldn't be able to wear such armor. Doesn't that mean that he should be the general of the Datong garrison?

Thinking of this, Pengchuk's eyes lit up immediately, and he hurriedly found several archers around him, and gave some instructions in a low voice.

After the order was finished, several people stood apart immediately. In order to worry that the general on the city would notice something strange, everyone only stared at his movements from the corner of their eyes. Finally, at the critical moment, Penchuk shouted: "Shoot!" .”

Then he suddenly drew his bow and arrow and shot at the general.

The tense situation on the city wall made Lei Keming very nervous all the time. He ran up and down the top of the city without any reason, and ran there to respond to any danger. He also knew that as long as he stood firm until the army withdrew, it would be a great achievement one piece.

Just when he saw that the attack outside was slowing down, and he just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, suddenly a feathered arrow pierced through the air. Lei Keming's attention was all on his surroundings, but he ignored the cold arrows from outside the city. One might as well, He was directly pierced by the feather arrow, fell straight to the ground, and died.

All this happened only for a moment. When the defenders on the city wall discovered that Lei Keming was actually dead, there was a sudden chaos. In addition, the Tatars below the city suddenly stepped up their offensive, and the situation was once in a precarious situation.

"Come quickly, report to His Majesty, and ask for a slowdown."

The sound of fighting on the city wall naturally reached Zhengde's ears. He had just sent the army away, and his mind was full of the grand scene when Jiang Bin returned from victory. From the north, there were faint shouts of killing.

Zhengde was taken aback for a moment, and then asked in puzzlement: "Zhang Yong, did Jiang Bin fight the Tatars so soon? It doesn't sound like we are not very far away."

This is not only not far away, it is clearly not too far away from him, the expression on Zhang Yong's face suddenly became serious, at this moment, a eunuch rushed in with a panicked expression, kneeling in front of Zhengde He said with a look of panic: "Long live, the big thing is not good, the Tatars have begun to attack the city."

"What did you say?" Upon hearing the news, Zhengde's eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at him in disbelief. He strode forward and grabbed his collar directly and asked, "Say what you just said again." .”

"Long live, the Tatars have begun to attack the city." The expression on the little eunuch's face became more and more frightened, and even his voice began to tremble.

Zhengde finally realized that he had heard correctly. It was indeed the Tatars who attacked. What's going on?Aren't they waiting ten miles outside the city? Why did they suddenly appear here again?

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Zhengde's mind, and when he finally came to his senses, he quickly asked, "Who is in charge of defending the city now?"

"Long Live Lord, it's Lei Keming, commander of the Shenji Battalion."

Hearing that it was Lei Keming, Zhengde's heart finally calmed down a little. In his heart, Lei Keming is also considered a strong general. Presumably he should be able to persist until the army slows down.

Not long after Zhengde's heart was relieved, another person came outside to report: "Long Live Lord, Commander Lei was shot to death by an arrow."

"Ah?" Hearing this news, Zhengde suddenly froze in place, with disbelief written all over his face. He was always looking for opportunities for war, but when the war really came to him, he realized its cruelty. , Lei Keming is dead, who will command the defense of the army next?

It won't be me who goes into battle in person, right?

Thinking of this, Zhengde suddenly stretched out his hand, and took off all the golden helmets and armor on his body, looked at Zhang Yong, and asked quickly: "Zhang Yong, besides Lei Keming, is there any other general in Datong City?" ?”

Zhang Yong was taken aback for a moment, blinked his eyes, and suddenly said in a panic: "Long live, it seems that except Commander Lei, everyone else has been taken out of the city by Mr. Jiang."

"What?" Zhengde's eyes darkened, and he almost fell to the ground. When he finally woke up, he couldn't help but shed tears of regret. Should he not listen to He Jiaan's persuasion? If he had listened to him yesterday, today Nor would there be such a danger.

By the way, He Jiaan?

Zhengde suddenly thought that He Jiaan was still locked up in the city. Thinking of this, Zhengde stood up quickly and ordered loudly: "Zhang Yong, hurry up, release He Aiqing quickly, and let him take full charge of all military affairs in Datong City."

Chapter 1056

Chapter 1056

He Jiaan was only put under house arrest by Jiang Bin, but he didn't suffer too much. He could eat, drink and sleep, but he couldn't go out.

I am still worried about the battle ahead, but right now I can't do my best to help everyone, He Jiaan can only stay here to rest naturally, after waking up, the sky outside has already brightened, thinking about it Jiang Bin has already set off with the army.

With one's own strength alone, there is definitely no way to stop the army, and now one can only pray that Zhengde is not in the army that is going out, and also pray that the army can win the battle.

Just when He Jiaan was staring at the sky outside the window in a daze, he suddenly caught a faint voice in his ear, which was somewhat familiar to him, and it was clearly the cry of the army charging.
