In the past few days, it is not only ordinary people who have had a hard time in Datong City, but also officials and soldiers who are becoming more and more worried day by day.

If the Tartars outside the city had attacked early, they would have nothing to worry about, just resist desperately. But the enemy outside the city came to besiege but not attack, which made people even more uneasy, and they didn't know when they would suddenly attack, let alone what these enemies were thinking. The only thing that can be done is to always be vigilant and always prepared.

"This blunt knife slaughters people the most painful. General, why don't we take the initiative to kill it again, it's really too embarrassing in the past few days! The grumpy general couldn't help but propose, but he also got some support.

But how dare Guo Rong, who had suffered a loss, make the same mistake again, and immediately shook his head like a rattle: "No, they are camping outside the city to lure us to take the initiative." The previous 10,000 horses were wiped out in less than half a day, and they could no longer fall for their plans. ”

"On that day, it was just that we underestimated the enemy, and the troops were divided into five ways to thin up the combat power, which gave them a chance to take advantage of it. But this time, after learning a lesson, how can they still ...... so easily" someone at the bottom muttered softly.

Although this was said very lightly, it was still heard by Guo Rong, and he suddenly sank his face and shouted: "Who dares to disturb the morale of the army here? Do you dare to disobey this general's orders? ”

Seeing that the general soldier was really angry, those subordinates no longer dared to say strange things recklessly, and immediately bowed their heads together: "The last general will obey the general's orders, and no longer dare to raise the matter of the city to meet the battle." ”

Seeing that he finally held down the eagerness of these subordinates, Guo Rong breathed a sigh of relief. But he was still a little uneasy in his heart, after all, the most terrible thing in this world was the unknown, and he really couldn't figure out what those Tartars would do. The only good thing is that they have sent out the military report asking for help, and presumably soon, the court will react.

Just as the situation calmed down, suddenly far away, there was a noise in the city, as if there was some big dispute. This made Guo Rong, who was already irritable in his heart, even more frowned: "Go and ask personally, what happened outside, why is it so disturbing." ”

As soon as one of the guards promised to go out, a person from the governor's yamen hurried over, and said to everyone with a face full of panic: "General Guo, generals, go out ...... Something went wrong. The people in the city suddenly rioted and began to loot the shops and rich houses in the city. ”

"What?" Guo Rongquan didn't expect such a change to happen at this time, and his heart suddenly chuckled. Then, his face sank completely: "This Yang Zhen, what the hell is he doing?" Without thinking about it, he guessed that this matter had something to do with the Mongolian people in the city, but he had already entrusted this matter to the people of Jinyiwei, and the result was ...... This made him naturally very dissatisfied with Yang Zhen.

But it is related to the stability of Datong, and he can't ignore it as the chief soldier, so he hurriedly ordered: "Xu Tong, Fu Shan, you two quickly take two thousand men and horses to the city to suppress them, and you can't make the chaos even bigger!" ”

"The last general obeys!" The two who were named hurriedly stepped forward and agreed with their fists clenched.

But just as the two of them strode out, a long horn suddenly sounded outside the city, followed by bursts of drums, which made the generals in the hall stunned for a moment, and then their faces changed: "The Tartars have really been prepared, and they actually took this opportunity to start attacking the city!" ”

"When you two come back, you can't take care of the affairs in the city for the time being. All centaurs, all ready to defend! After Guo Rong's face changed several times, he immediately issued a new order.

Suddenly, there was also a drum beat in the city, and countless Ming soldiers hurriedly rushed to the city. The soldiers at the head of the city even picked up bows and crossbows, carried all kinds of defensive weapons and equipment, and aimed at the Mongolian army surging up like a tide under the city.

An offensive and defensive battle that has been waiting and brewing for seven days is about to begin......

Dissatisfaction, worry, hatred, jealousy...... All kinds of negative emotions are like good medicine stuffed into an iron bucket, and they have been accumulating strength. It wasn't until early this morning that someone suddenly started to rob it, and this terrible powder keg was finally completely ignited.

At first, there were only a few hundred people, but soon the number of looting and destruction skyrocketed to thousands of people, and their targets spread to all parts of the city, even the granaries of the government became the targets of their plunder.

Fortunately, this is Datong City, and most of the granaries here are military rations, and there are hundreds of elite guards in one guard. Seeing that these people actually rushed directly to grab food, the soldiers immediately set up a position, and only took spears and stabbed them, and killed these rabble to the ground, so they had to dispel this idea and go to other places.

I don't know when, someone suddenly shouted out: "Now that Datong is about to break the city, why do we have to be trapped here?" Why don't we open the gates and escape from the city, so that we can save ourselves and our families' lives!" Ladies and gentlemen, for the safety of us and our families, come with me! ”

People with high blood are always easy to be at the mercy of others. As soon as this person said this, someone echoed loudly at the right time: "That's right, everyone go!" Immediately, everyone responded, and a team of thousands of people went straight to the nearest south gate.

And over there, only a hundred or so governors and yamen and other officials looked at the scene in front of them with some trembling, and they only carried some water and fire sticks in their hands, and when they saw so many people coming, they actually had the intention of retreating.

As for the defenders on the southern side of the city, although there are more than 100 crossbowmen, how can they kill the people in the city? Even the generals at the head don't have the courage to give orders.

The Mengren who went by the pseudonym Lu Qing had a smug smile on his face, and this time they had made a great achievement. Because he knew that at this time, a thousand Mongolian troops were lying in ambush outside the south gate, and as soon as the city gate was opened, they would take advantage of the situation to enter, and the entire Datong city would be theirs.

The people were all kept in the dark by him, completely unaware that what they were doing was killing themselves. Once the south gate is opened, they will inevitably be the first to die under the Tartar butcher's knife. They are still rushing forward, and they are getting closer to the city gates!

Wuli ...... Sanli ...... Seeing that the city gate was getting closer, but the defenders were helpless, Lu Qing smiled even more proudly.

But at this moment, there was suddenly another person beside him, and then with a wave of his hand, the man slashed his unprepared back of the neck with a fierce palm, and he fainted instantly.

At the same time, dozens of people in the crowd suddenly attacked, knocking down some of them quickly, and in the blink of an eye, more than 20 men were knocked down, which quickly caused a panic.

It was Yang Zhen who knocked down Lu Qing, and when everyone was in a panic, I didn't know what was going on, he had already picked up the unconscious guy and jumped onto the roof of a shop. Then, he raised his breath and shouted: "Fathers and elders of Datong, you have all been used by others, and you have actually done such a harmful thing to others and yourself!" ”

The voice was so loud that it immediately drowned out the screams of the people, and attracted the attention of most of them, who immediately raised their heads and looked at the young man who was on top of them.

"I am the imperial court, and the Jinyi guard commands Yang Zhen! You have all been deceived, these are all spies of the Mongolian people, they instigated you to loot the shops, just to make our Datong city completely plunged into civil strife, so that the Mongolian army outside the city can invade. And now they are instigating you to storm the gates of the southern city, and their intentions are even more sinister, I am afraid that the army of the Tartars is already waiting outside! Yang Zhen revealed his identity while loudly breaking the other party's conspiracy.

And the people, though they were intimidated by his skill, did not believe him. Just as he was hesitating, Yang Zhen had already tore off the clothes on Lu Qing's body in his hand, revealing his chest: "Everyone can see clearly." Tartars have always worshiped wolf nature, so many of their people have wolf tattoos, and this person has this trace on his body! ”

Sure enough, on Lu Qing's chest, there was a lifelike wolf tattooed with teeth and claws, which made everyone stunned. At the same time, the other Jinyi guards also took advantage of the situation to tear open the clothes of the subdued Mengren in front of them, and revealed the wolf tattoos on their bodies: "Everyone, please look at ......"

Seeing the almost identical tattoos on these people's bodies, all the people showed angry and panicked looks, could it be that they were really being used by these damn Tartar spies?

At this time, excited by the biting cold wind, Lu Qing and the others had already woken up from their coma. Seeing this, Yang Zhen grabbed his artery and said: "You all give me an honest explanation, where did you come from, and why did you encourage the people in the city?" ”

At this point, Lu Qing still had no intention of accepting his fate, and immediately said: "I am just an ordinary person in the city, what you said is just a wrongful word......

When the other people heard this, they also cried out. So it is better that the people will not know who to hear. After all, this time they were completely desperate for the government.

Yang Zhen sighed, and had to continue: "Guys, don't you still understand? Now that the outside of the city is full of Tartar armies, are you not going out of the city at this time to send sheep into the mouth of the tiger? Only staying in my Datong City is the safest. And they keep encouraging you to flee from the city, what is the purpose of this? ”

"I ...... I remembered that it was him, who had just proposed to go out of the city...... There's something wrong with that! Finally someone who understood opened his mouth, and then, many people finally turned the corner and began to look at Lu Qing and the others with resentful eyes.

When Yang Zhen saw this scene, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that everything had been saved.

And Zhou Zechuan, who came in a hurry and saw that the situation was under control, felt relieved and unconsciously gave birth to a question - how did this Yang Dudu know about the existence of these fine works and make arrangements?
