Chapter 1134: The Danger of Ganzhou City
Hexi Corridor, Ganzhou City. Since the Su King Zhu Ji settled in Ganzhou City, the defense of this city has been greatly strengthened, there were originally only three dissatisfied guards, in just two or three years expanded to five full guards, of which there are three are princely guards, making Ganzhou City the most heavily defended city in the Hexi Corridor.
In this case, although the unique geographical location of the Hexi Corridor makes the bandits constant, no one will come to Ganzhou City to fight the autumn breeze. In fact, in most cases, the 30 miles around Ganzhou City is very safe, and in some special cases, 50 miles is safe.
But at this moment, looking out from the city of Ganzhou, there are tens of thousands of horses around the city of Ganzhou, attacking the city. You don't even have to look, just listen with your ears, you can hear the shouts of killing.
At this time, Qu Feng, the defender of this city, stood at the head of the city, while directing the soldiers to defend against the enemy's attack, he kept looking to the northwest, and at the same time muttered: "Why haven't the reinforcements arrived!" Why haven't the reinforcements arrived! ”
"It's true, Timur has been defeated and killed, these people don't run away honestly, and they dare to attack the city."
It turned out that the people who were attacking the city at this time were the same people who had been bought by Timur before. As mentioned above, Timur tried many ways to disturb the rear of the Ming Dynasty before the expedition, but many of them were unsuccessful. But there were also successes, that is, to buy the bandits in the Hexi Corridor, let them rob the Ming army's carriages to transport goods, and reduce the supply rate of the Ming army. Because there were still some people in the northwest at that time, who were discriminated against, these people and bandits who had a grudge with the Ming generals and could not take refuge in Timur all took refuge in Timur, and gathered tens of thousands of people to loot the railcars in the Hexi Corridor.
Although Timur's goal was not achieved because Yun Xi had begun preparations for this battle several years earlier, they also looted a lot of items, which gave the local guards a lot of headaches. Especially in order to increase the chances of victory over Timur, more and more troops were transferred to Iwu, and the guards responsible for protecting the tracks had to reduce the number of transports in order to reduce losses. Fortunately, everything that should have been transported to the front has already arrived, so it did not affect the war.
After hearing that Timur's soldiers were defeated and died, the guards in the Hexi Corridor were very happy, on the one hand, they were happy that the Ming Dynasty had won a great victory, and on the other hand, the war was over, and the transferred guards should also come back, and even His Royal Highness King Gan asked His Majesty to temporarily leave some foreign guards to help them suppress bandits.
But before the guards who should have come back returned, all of these bandits suddenly gathered, and it seemed that several big leaders wanted to discuss what to do next; And just when Qu Feng was still thinking about it, these bandits actually went north at the fastest speed and came towards Ganzhou City!
Qu Feng's eyes almost didn't pop out when he heard the news that the soldiers were sent in an urgent manner for 600 miles! Because of the support for the war, and because Ganwang Zhu Shu went to Yiwu in person, and because Ganzhou City has not been threatened for more than ten years, everyone is a little careless, at this time there is only one guard in the city, and the equipment to defend the city is also insufficient. Even if this guard is the prince's guard, there are more than 10,000 people, but according to the shop, there are 50,000 or 60,000 bandits, and it seems that there is a tragic sense of morale, and the city of Ganzhou is in danger.
He immediately called for help by sending people and carrier pigeons, and at the same time began to prepare to defend the city. Of course, he was still secretly hoping that the target of these bandits was not Ganzhou City.
But it backfired, the bandits didn't cover up all the way, and went straight to Ganzhou City, even if Qu Feng wanted to deceive himself. He could only order the cities through which the bandits passed to delay as much as they could, while openly preparing to defend them.
After receiving Qu Feng's order, the guards in various places tried their best to delay. Although they knew that they were likely to be wiped out in the face of an enemy who was more than ten times their number in the field, they still did not hesitate to go out of the city to block it.
But what they didn't expect was that these bandits didn't entangle with them too much, and after beating them back, they no longer pursued, but continued to Ganzhou City.
On the 25th of August, they arrived at the city of Ganzhou, hastily built some places to live, and began to attack the city before noon that day. Today is already the 28th, and the bandits have surrounded Ganzhou City for three days, and they have already stormed it for three days.

"Conductor Qu, conductor Qu!" Qu Feng was directing the soldiers to defend the city, when he heard such a shout from behind him.
Qu Feng seemed to be accustomed to such shouts, and after issuing a few orders, he turned his head and said to the visitor with a normal expression: "I've seen Guard Zhang." ”
"I've seen Commander Qu." Zhang Wuji returned the salute, and then said: "Commander, the two mothers and several highnesses sent to ask the city at this time and whether it can be defended." ”
"The city has been able to hold it!" Qu Feng said categorically: "As early as the tenth day, the former ministers had already sent out a call for help, and the nearby guards could see it, and the army that was retreating from Yiwu would definitely know about it. At this time, they must have rushed to Ganzhou City to rescue in the starry night. According to the minister's estimate, in two days, reinforcements will arrive. Because Zhang Wuji was asking His Royal Highness on behalf of Niangniang, he called himself a minister.
"Your Highness also knows that the reinforcements must be rushing to Ganzhou City to rescue in the starry night, and they will arrive in a few days. But maybe you can hold on for two or three days? ”
"Stand it." Qu Feng said: "Please rest assured that the two ladies and several highnesses have commanded the soldiers to eliminate at least three or four thousand bandits in the past few days, and seriously injured more than two thousand." The robbers are short of medical treatment, and those who are seriously injured will surely die. The bandits have lost nearly half of their soldiers. ”
"The bandits are just a rabble, and they come to attack the city because their leader lures them with heavy profits, but when they come to attack the city, they find that the city is not easy to take, and they retreat all their lives, and they are unwilling to fight hard to attack the city. and the city shall be able to hold it. ”
Seeing that Qu Feng's words were very firm, Zhang Wuji also believed his words and said: "Then Niangniang and His Royal Highness are relieved." After defending the city, Niangniang and Her Royal Highness will definitely celebrate the commander's achievements in front of His Majesty. ”
