    Two hundred and sixteen Entering the city

    Meng Ju¡¯s garrison did not advance, and Helian Bashan felt very embarrassed.

    Now, he has two choices before him:

    The first option: attack Meng Ju directly.  Meng Jutong

    With the Ninth Brigade of Doukai, although the forward troops of the frontier army led by Helian Bashan had many soldiers and horses, the number of Doukai was far less than that of Meng Ju.  Moreover, Meng Ju was camping in the open space. Even if the battle situation was unfavorable, he could still retreat leisurely. He could not inflict serious damage on him.

    The second option is to attack Yansang City directly.  Intuitively, Helian Bashan felt that this was not a good choice.  Not to mention that Yansang City was originally reserved for fishing for the big fish Meng Ju. Keeping this city could attract the main force of the Dongling Guard to come to the rescue. If he captured the city, it would be like a kidnapper killing a hostage.  , the variables are gone, and this live game becomes a dead game.

    Furthermore, from a purely military perspective, if you attack the city yourself while Dongling Guards soldiers are watching, you will be taking a lot of risks.  If Meng Ju catches his flaw and hits him hard from the side, he will be defeated like a mountain.

    Helian Bashan thought hard all afternoon.  Then he made a decision.

    This is the second night of the stalemate between the two armies.  In the darkness, there was a clanging noise from the frontier army, which lasted all night.

    When the sun rose, the officers and soldiers of the mausoleum guard were surprised to see that overnight, the two camps of the frontier army outside the south gate of Yansang had disappeared, and the road leading to Yansang City had appeared unobstructed.  before.

    In the morning, Meng Ju got the news while having breakfast: "The border troops themselves demolished the two camps blocking the way!" At that time, he was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth and blurted out: "Helian Bashan, he  Is your brain broken?"

    But after arriving in front of the formation and seeing the empty front line with his own eyes, Meng Jucai realized: the border army's move was not simple.  Helian Bashan took the initiative to get out of the way, and the border army gave the initiative of choice back to the Dongling Guards. This was a provocation and a test.

    "Obviously, the border army wants to show us that the road ahead is clear and we can enter the city with confidence." Meng Ju smiled, showing his white teeth: "It seems that Helian Bashan really wants us to enter the city!"

    The officers accompanying Meng Ju looked grim.  No one who can stand here is a fool.  Helian Bashan deliberately let Dongling guards and horses enter Yansang City, and his intention was obvious without asking: in the wild, it is not easy to encircle and annihilate a Doukai army.  But if they enter the city, Meng Ju will have nowhere to run until the main force of the border army arrives to encircle him.

    "Helian Bashan has such a good appetite. He not only wants to defeat us, but also wants to eat us in one bite?"

    "Lord Governor, if that's the case"

    "It doesn't matter! Since Helianbashan has set up a banquet, how can we not attend the banquet? Send the order, and we will immediately break camp and enter the city."

    The commander-in-chief was brave and brave, and Meng Ju was full of arrogance. His subordinates were also infected, and no one retreated.

    At this moment, the assembly horn sounded, and the soldiers were ordered to mount their horses. The whole army broke out of camp and moved forward towards Yansang County.

    The army marched quickly, and they arrived in less than two hours after traveling more than twenty miles.  The army had just arrived at the city of Yansang County and were about to enter the city. A scout cavalry galloped back with all his strength. He shouted all the way from a distance: "The enemy is attacking! The enemy is attacking in large numbers and is approaching!"

    For a time, the commotion spread throughout the team like ripples in the water.

    At this time, Meng Ju immediately realized the danger.  The frontier army deliberately chose this time to attack, and their timing was very accurate, and their intentions were also very vicious.  It will take time for Dongling Guard's nearly 10,000 troops to enter the city.  If he continued to enter the city, everyone would be in panic and the team would be in chaos.  At that time, the frontier troops were fighting directly from the rear. Even if their forwards and middle troops could enter the city safely, the baggage and rear troops that fell behind would also become prey for the frontier troops.

    Meng Ju made a decisive decision: "All troops, stop and prepare for war!"

    His high-pitched shouts resounded throughout the entire team: "Zhenbiao and black chambers, all in armor! Tooth assassins, armed and on standby!"

    With an order, more than 700 battle armors from Donglingwei Zhenbiao and Heishi divisions lined up in formation, as if a city made of steel suddenly appeared on the ground, and the reflection of the metal was dazzling.

    As soon as the formation of Dongling Guards was completed, large groups of troops from the border army began to appear.

    It was as if a huge hurricane suddenly appeared on the grassland, and countless battle armors and cavalry roared in with smoke and dust all over the sky.  The frontier cavalry imitated the behavior of the Hu cavalry, shouting loudly while riding their horses. The shouts in various accents mixed with the sound of horse hooves, making the noise loud and powerful.

    Compared with the border armyDespite the roaring noise of the horses, the Dongling Guards formation responded with silence. The formation was silent. The sergeants had stern expressions and calm expressions, revealing awe-inspiring murderous intent in the solemnity.

    Seeing that Dongling Guard¡¯s Doukai troops were in a tight formation and ready to be invulnerable, the troops of the frontier army stopped a mile away.  The two armies looked at each other from afar, the atmosphere was tense, and the sergeants were excited and eager to try.

    However, it was obvious that the generals of the frontier army did not want to have a life-or-death showdown with the Dongling Guards at this time.  Until the mausoleum guard's cavalry and baggage convoy entered the city under the cover of the Doukai troops, the border troops were still just watching.

    "It seems that the border troops are not planning to take action today." Meng Ju said to Lu Liulou.

    As if to comment on Meng Ju's words, just at this moment, a knight ran out of the frontier army formation. He held up a white cloth and ran to the Dongling guard formation, shouting: "Is Governor Meng Ju Meng here?"  I am the envoy of General Helian, Marshal of the Forward, and I would like to ask Governor Meng to come out and answer me!"

    Meng Ju winked, Wang Beixing understood, and stepped out of the formation, shouting: "How can I, the governor, talk to a nobody like you! Just say what you want to say, no need to be long-winded!"

    The envoy shouted: "That's good! Listen carefully: the marshal gathered the troops from the northern border and led an army of 300,000 soldiers to march into Dongping. The momentum is like Mount Tai, overwhelming, and it is beyond human power! If you try to level the east, you will never be able to resist the north.  All the towns in Xinjiang unite their troops. Lord Helian will advise Master Meng to be a wise man and not to act like a chariot with your arms! Even if Governor Meng Ming is not afraid of death, he must still think about his men! Lord Helian promises that as long as  Governor Meng Zhen is willing to surrender, and the marshal is determined not to reward him with a title, and so are you brothers"

    Before the guy could finish speaking, Wang Beixing raised his bow and arrow with his backhand and shot with one arrow.  The guy didn't expect Wang Beixing to strike so suddenly and was completely unprepared. The arrow hit him right in the face. He screamed and fell off his horse, and was dragged back diagonally by his mount.

    Both armies exclaimed in unison. Wang Beixing held his bow in his hand and laughed loudly: "The little thief is playing tricks to mess up the morale of our army. How can I let you get what you want!"

    Seeing that the envoy was shot to death, the border troops immediately started making noises. A group of armors rushed forward, snatched the envoy's body and took it back.  After a while, another cavalryman rushed out from the border army and shouted: "We remember what Governor Meng gave us today, and we will be rewarded in the future!" - Having learned the lesson just now, this envoy  Standing much further away than before, he also held up a shield in his hand. Wang Beixing was about to shoot, but the guy immediately covered his face with the shield, turned around and ran away.

    ¡°But some people still think it¡¯s wrong for Wang Beixing to shoot the messenger like this.  An aide said to Meng Ju: "Supervisor, Chief Beixing is reckless. The two armies are fighting and the envoy will not be harmed. Chief Beixing kills the envoy without authorization"

    "Shut up!" Meng Ju interrupted him softly: "Don't be pedantic! Beixing handled it right, the border troops are about to withdraw!"

    Sure enough, just as Meng Ju expected, the border troops quickly turned around and retreated in an orderly and unhurried manner.

    Seeing the border troops retreat, a burst of cheers broke out from the Dongling Guards.  The subordinates congratulated Meng Ju one after another: "The Governor defeated the famous Northern Xinjiang general Helian Bashan today, forcing him to flee in the face of the wind. He is so famous that no group of thieves dare to look at him!"

    Meng Ju smiled, cupped his hands and said, "We share the same joy, it's all the credit of the brothers."

    Having said that, he knew very well in his heart that this was just a small collision between the two sides. It was not a setback at all. It was just that Helian Bashan felt that he could not take advantage, so he retreated on his own.

    At this time, Wang Beixing turned back and apologized to Meng Ju: "Supervisor, the last general just made his own decision. I killed the thief. Please punish him!"

    Meng Ju smiled and said: "In other words, Beixing, you were decisive in handling the situation. I should reward you. Let's go into the city now."

    When the troops entered the city, they were greeted by the generals of the Dongling Guards at the city gate. A burly young general stood at the front of the team. When he saw Meng Ju being surrounded by a group of generals, he knelt down and shouted: "The end of the world."  General Muchun, please see the Governor!"

    Meng Ju recognized that this young general was Deputy Inspector Muchun, the deputy general manager of the Yansang Department of Dongling Guards.  At the beginning of the year, when he took office, Mu Chun also came to visit him along with a group of colleagues.  At that time, Mu Chun did not look very conspicuous among a group of inspectors. The impression given to Meng Ju was that this guy seemed to be quite dull and not very good at talking.  But unexpectedly, at the critical moment when the border troops were pressing on the border and the coach fled, he actually withstood the pressure and held on to the city until he came over.

    Meng Ju jumped off his mount and helped Mu Chun up with his own hands: "Deputy Inspector Mu, thank you for your hard work. You defended the city alone and did a great job. You will be the first to contribute to this great victory."

    "Your Excellency has great righteousness and personally rescued Yansang City. Saving us was like fire and water. The soldiers and civilians in the city shed tears of gratitude. Lord Governor, I am really unworthy of your high praise. Your Excellency, if you are two more days late,God, I'm afraid the general will not be able to hold on and will surrender.  "

    Mu Chun spoke frankly, and the faces of the generals on the left and right changed color, but Meng Ju laughed "haha" and said: "Deputy Inspector Mu, you are quite frank. Mu Chun, we are tired and hungry all the way here, you  Is there a place for us to take a rest here?"

    "Ah, I am rude, General. Governor, please follow me."

    At present, Meng Ju and his entourage and the senior officers accompanying them were placed in the homes of wealthy families in the city.  Before the border army attacked, this gentry family had moved away early, and the local mausoleum office had expropriated their property without mercy.
