Chapter 1124: Truth and Falsehood (Part 2)

Dawn arrived, and the civil fort ushered in a new day. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the sixth day of October, this is the fourteenth day that Shen Xi has defended the civil fort.

In the past half a month, Shen Xi had experienced the most tragic battle of his life, which was even more dangerous than the situation he encountered outside Yulin City and on the south bank of the Yuxi River.

But this time, Shen Xi still turned the danger into a disaster and won the final victory.

Immediately, when he was preparing to evacuate the civil fort, the Tatar follow-up troops and horses arrived, shattering Shen Xi's dream of returning to Juyong Pass safely. By now, he no longer dared to think about the problem of breaking through, but just thought about how to defend the civil fort and win more time for the arrival of the Ming reinforcements.

"My lord, the car is ready, please show me!"

Hu Songyue rode to the west gate of Tumu Fort and shouted to Shen Xi at the head of the city.

Shen Xi wanted to go out of the city to negotiate in the Tatar camp, but the generals present could not understand it, in their opinion, Shen Xi went to the enemy camp without much meaning, it was like going to die.

However, Shen Xi said that in exchange for hundreds of artillery pieces and countless shells of the Tatars, it may not be unacceptable to Hu Songyue and others. Hu Songyue and the others only wanted to live, as for Shen Xi's life and death, it was not in their scope of consideration, since Shen Xi himself died, with their identity and status, they could not be persuaded at all, so they could only let Shen Xi go.

Shen Xi took Hu Songyue and others to fight a beautiful victory, but unfortunately these people have never been able to return to Shen Xi, but it is not as good as the trust that Jing Yue and others have in Shen Xi when they were on the southeast coast.

If he had a choice, Shen Xi would rather take Jing Yue and the others to fight this battle, and the odds of winning would be much higher, and now he would bring a group of people who specially pulled him back to deal with the Tatars.

At the head of the city, Shen Xi was still holding a telescope and looking into the distance, and asked, "Are the soldiers and horses ready?" ”

Hu Songyue replied loudly: "My lord, it is ready, according to your orders, just after you leave the city, the soldiers and horses will be dispatched according to the instructions!" ”

"Hmm. Very good. ”

Shen Xi nodded with relief, "Everything is according to the predetermined plan, but ...... The official didn't say that he would enter the enemy camp himself! ”

In one sentence, the people present had the illusion that Shen Xi couldn't enter the enemy camp, so what he said before was to deceive his own people? Shen Xi said: "Bring out the straw man tied in my big tent, and the horses will carry the straw man to the Tatar military camp on their own!" ”

Hu Songyue was in a daze at first, and then asked puzzledly: "My lord, what...... Straw man? ”

Shen Xi reprimanded angrily: "Do you really think that this official is so stupid that he will go to the enemy camp to die? The official has already selected a person who is six or seven points similar to me in stature and appearance from among the people, and he only needs to put on the official uniform and hat of the official and go on behalf of the official. ”

"In the carriage there was a wooden coffin filled with gunpowder. The accompanying horse team is all placed with the Straw Man in Armor, and the Straw Man is placed in the center of the Straw Man with an explosive bag. The gunpowder fuses of the wagons and horses were lit at the time of departure, which I had already tested yesterday, and by the time the wagons arrived at the Tatar barracks, they were almost about to explode! ”

"Your Excellency?"

Hu Songyue was stupid, yesterday he was still regretting Shen Xi's death, and felt that Shen Xi was loyal to the country and had commendable courage, but today, Hu Songyue felt that he had been tricked...... Where is Shen Xi's loyalty to the country, he is simply an old fox, not only deceiving the Tatars, but even his own people are kept in the dark.

But Hu Songyue was finally relieved in his heart, Shen Xi could not die, and snatched back all the Tatar artillery and shells, then he would gain the initiative in this battle. With Shenxi Town guarding the city, it can finally make the soldiers of the three armies feel at ease.

Now the role of Shen Xi's main backbone is becoming more and more obvious, especially when the civil fort is surrounded on all sides.

……

……

The earth was hazy, and Awulu got up early.

Ah Wulu went to the civil fort yesterday and did not find out the real situation in the civil fort, but it gave her the feeling that there were basically no people in the city, and her understanding was that Shen Xi did not have many people on hand now.

"If there are a lot of soldiers and horses in the Ming Dynasty, Shen Xi has no need to use a trick on me, the first time he saw four or five thousand people in the city, he didn't hide it, that is to say, the number of officers and soldiers in the city is likely to be less than three thousand, or even less than one thousand, after all, there were too many soldiers who fled in the city in the first few days!"

A Wulu is very optimistic about the prospects of this battle, "What kind of young superintendent, feudal official, but so...... Why don't I put all the soldiers and horses in order and personally lead the troops into the city, I don't believe in the achievements of Manduhai at the beginning, I can't do it. On the battlefield, it's always about strength! ”

Just as Awulu was in his trance, a Tatar commander came over and saluted: "Zhao envoy, the chariot sent from the civil fort is coming this way. ”

"Oh!?"

Awulu came back to her senses, and she stood on a makeshift platform in the camp tent, looking at the carriage in the distance.

Unlike her previous car driving into the city, this time "Shen Xi" drove out of the city very simply, although she couldn't see it very clearly from a distance, it seemed that there were only seven or eight cavalry escorts.

"I'm really not afraid of death, when the people arrive, they will directly detain the person, and they must not let him leave!" Awulu had a grim smile on his face.

The commander said: "Zhao envoy, it seems that behind the Ming Dynasty official, there is still a large number of cavalry...... Do you want to prevent them from storming our camp? ”

Ah Wulu fixed his eyes and saw it, but no, about a hundred steps away from the carriage, there were a large number of cavalry following, and immediately said: "There should be no less precautions, if the soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty kill them, how can they not ask?" But remember, it is better to capture the Ming officials alive, only in this way can the Ming army in the city surrender, and then we can make great achievements without spending a single soldier. ”

"When the people in front of me are removed, from Xuanfu to Juyongguan, and then to the Jingshi of the Ming Dynasty, it will be unimpeded!"

The commander wanted to correct Ah Wulu, this way, there were a lot of soldiers and horses stationed in the Ming Dynasty, such as Huailai Acropolis, Yanqing Prefecture and other cities nearby, not only Shen Xi, but thinking that the most threatening thing was Shen Xi's people after all, he did not make a mistake in front of A Wulu.

"Yes!"

The Tatar camp was busy.

Due to the fact that all the reinforcements of Xuanfu would arrive today, and the night was cold, the Tatar troops stationed at the four gates of Tumu Fort returned to the newly set up camp tents for the night, leaving only a few rangers to reconnoiter the movements of the Ming army.

Now that there were only 6,000 soldiers and horses in the camp, Awulu mobilized 2,000 people to "welcome" the Ming envoys, and planned to capture Shen Xi alive and bring him back to Dayan Khan Batu Munk to ask for merit.

She hoped that she would bring back the fire silk and the hundreds of captured Tatar cavalry, as well as thousands of Ming prisoners of war, so that she could prove that she was capable of controlling the steppe heroes, and did not want others to treat her as a woman all the time.

……

……

Shen Xi's luxury car drove a little closer to the Tatar camp five miles west of Tumubao City. Ah Wulu did not evade, because she wanted to try the condescending feeling, she was going to have someone take Shen Xi down later, escort him to the high platform, and press Shen Xi to the ground with both hands behind her back, so that she could taste the feeling of being a master.

Because the first two times she entered the city, Shen Xi embarrassed Ah Wulu and made her feel that her dignity was trampled on, and she was a woman with a strong sense of revenge, so this time she wanted to try to make Shen Xi feel humiliated.

When Awulu entered the city, he hugged the front and back, and the carriages were closed. But this time, "Shen Xi" went out of the city, and there was no intention to hide it, and he stood on the wheel cleanly. The carriage under him, the carriage is extremely luxurious, and it is extraordinary at a glance, and Awulu secretly laughed at the Ming Dynasty for dying to save face and suffer crimes, and such a good thing will fall into his hands later.

Shen Xi stood in the wind, and as the carriage gradually approached the Tatar camp, his figure became clearer and clearer.

"Is it a Ming Dynasty official?"

When the carriage was less than three miles away from the Tatar camp, there was movement on the side of the Tatar barracks, and the Tatars were ready to send men and horses to "meet".

Shen Xi brought not many guards, only eight cavalry, although the brigade followed from a distance, but at this moment the Tatars' attention was all on "Shen Xi" standing in front of the carriage, and no one paid attention to anything else.

Ah Wulu's eyes widened, but unfortunately she didn't have a telescope in her hand, so she couldn't be sure for a while whether the person in the carriage was Shen Xi.

A Wulu is cautious, she has always felt that she is very smart, and at this time, the west gate of the Ming Dynasty's civil fort has not been closed, which makes A Wulu feel that the Ming army may be killed at any time, which makes her more cautious. She was a female streamer, had no position, and overstepped her authority to mobilize people to welcome a Ming envoy, which had broken the Tatar military regulations.

"Zhao envoy, the person is almost here, you quickly determine whether it is a Ming Dynasty official!"

Seeing that Shen Xi's car was already about two miles away from them, the commander finally couldn't help but walk up to the high platform to ask, and at this time, a small group of cavalry in front of him had stepped forward to investigate the situation.

Finally, the eastern sky was dyed with a touch of red, and the earth was much brighter, Ah Wulu finally saw the face of the person in the carriage clearly, and sure enough, when it matched the appearance of Shen Xi in his memory, he showed a confident smile on his face, and waved his hand and said, "Open the camp gate!" ”

The heavy camp gate slowly opened, and more cavalry followed up and slowly greeted Shen Xi's chariot.

But seeing the "Shen Xi" on the carriage, as if he had tripped over something, the person fell directly from the wheel, and after falling to the ground, he straightened up, directly grabbed an empty horse next to him, turned over, turned the horse's head and galloped all the way to the west gate of Tumubao City.

The entire Tatar army, including Awulu, was dumbfounded when they saw this scene.

Shen Xi took the initiative to negotiate with the Tatar military camp, and now he came in person, bringing not many guards, although he followed the horse team, but the Tatars did not feel that they could bring a threat to themselves, thinking that Shen Xi was very sincere, and they didn't expect him to run away suddenly.

Before, the Tatars were afraid of disturbing Shen Xi, and the number of cavalry who came out of the camp to greet them was not large, and the pace of the horses was slow, who knew that they would encounter the scene of Shen Xi escaping in a blink of an eye.

Ah Wulu stood on the high platform, puzzled, she didn't understand why Shen Xi suddenly fled.

After she saw Shen Xi leaving, the horses pulling the cart and the cavalry next to them suddenly accelerated towards the camp, and there seemed to be sparks coming from the horse's buttocks, and the speed was amazing, and Ah Wulu realized that he might have been tricked.

"Bait, this is bait, close the camp gate!"

The Tatar camp gate was specially pulled from the breached Huai'an Acropolis, which was very heavy, in order to prepare for being attacked by the Ming cavalry, and when the Ming Dynasty chariots began to attack from less than a mile away from the camp gate, the Tatars could not close the camp gate at the first time.

"Stop them!"

When Ah Wulu found out that the situation was wrong, he tried in vain to assign the men and horses who had gone out to meet him before to block the suicide car formation sent by Shen Xi.

At this time, the Tatar cavalry on the front line had seen clearly, and it turned out that the cavalry escorted by the cart was just a straw man in battle armor.

There seemed to be something hidden in the straw man, which had been ignited and was emitting a dazzling fire.
