"General, this is a secret letter from the capital today!" a servant hurried over to report.
Temur stood up suddenly, walked to the servant's hand in three or two steps, and snatched the secret letter.
After glancing over the secret letter, Temur suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed out loud: "God is really helping me. The old emperor is seriously ill. If we send troops to attack Dajin now, we will definitely catch them off guard!"
At that moment, Temuer took the secret letter and walked away quickly.
"Khan, the emperor of Jin is critically ill. It is a good time for us to send troops while the court is in turmoil!" Temur said ambitiously.
Now that the power of the Jin Dynasty has declined, by the time they come to their senses, it will be too late to turn the tide.
The northwest gateway has been opened by us, and Gaoyun County, which is closest to Suzhou City, is definitely in our hands.
Mu Sang paced back and forth excitedly, and asked anxiously, "Are you confident in this battle?"
"I've already got the defense map and I have a hostage. That guy is quite obedient. Taking Gaoyun County is imperative!"
"Okay, okay, okay. I'll leave 20,000 soldiers in Suzhou City, and the remaining 180,000 troops are at your disposal. We must take Gaoyun County in one fell swoop!"
"I will definitely fulfill my mission!" Temujin replied loudly.
On the other side, Qin Yue returned to his room and found another note on the ground: "Come to Suzhou tomorrow!"
The corners of Qin Yue's mouth couldn't help but curl up, "The fish is hooked!"
He put the note away as if nothing had happened, called the shadow guard, and asked him to tell his father the information.
The next day, Qin Yue arrived as promised.
Temuer said straight to the point: "I need you to mobilize the garrison troops in Gaoyun County!"
Qin Yue refused without a second thought: "I don't have such power, and those people won't listen to me at all!"
Temuer was not angry at Qin Yue's refusal, but said in a leisurely tone: "Do you want that girl's left hand or right hand? I can have someone chop it off and give it to you!"
"you....."
Qin Yue's face was ferocious, and after a while he suppressed the anger on his face, and said in a suppressed tone: "I can't be transferred from the garrison without the transfer order!"
"Someone, take that girl's hand..."
"Wait!" Qin Yue hurriedly stopped him.
Temuer stared at Qin Yue coldly, as if if he still refused to cooperate, he would order his servants to chop off the girl's hands the next moment!
"This requires your cooperation!" Qin Yue gritted his teeth.
Timur immediately became interested and raised his eyebrows to signal him to continue.
"You will pull out tens of thousands of soldiers to pretend to attack Pingzhou. Pingzhou will be under-defended and will naturally seek help from the nearest garrison. With such a shortage of defenses, whether you can capture it or not is your problem!"
Timur thought about this proposal carefully and made a feint to the east and attack in the west.
In the case of insufficient defense, as long as he uses the human wave tactics and attacks day and night, he doesn't believe that he can't take over Gaoyun County!
Timur finally agreed to this plan. Before leaving, he threatened again: "Boy, you'd better not play any tricks. If I get unhappy and that girl loses her arms and legs, you'll be the one to suffer!"
Looking at the young man in front of him gritting his teeth but feeling helpless, Timur said in a good mood: "Go away!"
After leaving, the anger on Qin Yue's face disappeared. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he galloped away on his horse.
Next, Timur began to make intensive preparations. He sent 30,000 troops north across the grassland to feint an attack on Pingzhou.
Not long after, he received news from Qin Yue that there were only 10,000 defenders left in Gaoyun County, so he immediately led an army of 150,000 to attack.
"General, there are no ambushes in the valley ahead!" the scout hurriedly reported.
On the way to Gaoyun County, they had to pass through a long and narrow valley, which was the best ambush location. He couldn't trust Qin Yue completely, so he sent scouts to investigate early.
Temuer felt a little relieved, seeing that the boy didn't dare to make any small moves, he thought he was sensible.
After the army slowly passed through the long and narrow valley and disappeared, Qin Yue, who had covered his body with leaves, sat up and said to the people behind him: "Captain Wang, you take two thousand soldiers and continue to lie dormant here. I will lead three thousand people to attack Suzhou City at night!"
Wang Yao looked at the young man and didn't say much, but patted him on the shoulder to show encouragement!
When the soldiers defending the city saw the huge army of Hu people in front of them, they all showed fear on their faces.
Sitting in the battle formation, Temuer looked at the panicked soldiers defending the city on the city wall, and felt quite satisfied!
This means that these soldiers were completely unprepared for the surprise attack!
Today he is going to catch them off guard!
"Attack the city with all your might!"
Following the order from the standard-bearer, the Hu army, carrying ladders, rushed towards the city wall like a tide. Accompanied by the booming sound of war drums, the Hu army was like a storm, unstoppable.
Although the soldiers defending the city were shocked, they quickly calmed down. The archers aimed at the charging enemy and shot dense arrows at the enemy like a rainstorm, stopping their attack.
At the same time, the catapults on the city wall kept throwing huge stones, smashing them hard at the Hu people on the ground. Each throw was accompanied by screams and large numbers of fallen enemy soldiers.
Timur stood in the formation, observing the attack from under the city wall.
Although he was at a disadvantage at the moment, the situation between the attacker and the defender would be reversed in two hours. When the arrows and boulders in the city were exhausted, it would be his time to capture the city!
From top to bottom of the city wall, shouts of killing shook the heavens, and corpses were scattered all over the ground. Just as Temur had expected, the soldiers defending the city gradually showed signs of defeat.
Temur shouted in the battle line, "Charge, soldiers! Break open the city gates! Beautiful women, slaves, gold, silver, and jewels are waiting for you inside!"
After hearing Timule's words, the soldiers' eyes flashed with greed and desire. Like beasts smelling their prey, they rushed to the city and fought recklessly.
"General Qin, all the people in the city have been evacuated!"
Qin Bin nodded, "Tell the soldiers on the tower to retreat to a safe area." He then snorted coldly into the distance, "Since you're here, stay!"
The soldiers in the city wall were gradually defeated. After receiving the order, they stopped fighting and quickly evacuated to a safe place.
The city gate had already been overwhelmed and was on the verge of collapse due to the fierce battle. With a loud bang, the heavy gate was finally knocked open.
The enemy troops poured into the city like a tide, rushed into the shops and rushed into the homes of the people, but strangely, the city was empty.
Timur looked at the soldiers defending the city who were retreating very quickly, and he suddenly had a bad premonition.
Oh no, I’ve fallen into a trap!
He suddenly shouted, "Don't enter the city, retreat, retreat quickly!"
But, it's already too late!
