    Long Gang said: "They belong to the same clan as the soldiers of the Xuanwei Envoy, and they are all unambiguous in fighting. They all learned from the prairie wolf. Although they have not been trained, they fight in a very orderly manner."

    Chen Lu smiled and said, "Just wait for the battle, it won't take an hour." Then he walked down the arrow tower and returned to the meeting hall.

    Xizi came over to serve tea to everyone. While they were drinking tea, they listened to the movement outside and talked about some experiences in Turpan. They were already numb to the rumble of cannons in the distance. What they were most concerned about was the movement nearby.

    Less than half an hour later, there was a dull sound of firecrackers outside.  "Close the door quickly!" Long Gang's shout entered the meeting hall.  There was a bang, which was the sound of the mission's door, followed by another sound of firecrackers, and then a scream.

    Someone had already entered the camp. This was the consensus of several people. They looked at each other, Chen Lu stood up, saluted the two envoys, and ran out.  He found that two groups of soldiers from the Western Regions had climbed up the wall and were shooting arrows outside. Ha San was waving the flag on the archery tower, and the sounds of fighting and screams could be heard one after another on the corridor outside.

    After a quarter of an hour, Basin's voice came in: "Open the door, we have driven them out of the camp."

    Chen Lu asked the soldiers to open the door and saw corpses lying scattered on the Yong Road.  Basin ran in covered in blood.  The camp gate has been closed and the suspension bridge has been pulled up.  Chen Lu felt that Basin's tactics seemed to have given up on the east gate of Turpan.

    Chen Lu said: "General Basin, if you do this, what will happen if they attack the east gate?"

    Basin said: "Yes, the general is also afraid that they will attack the east gate. There is no way, there are more than 3,000 people in the whole camp. The order given by the general is to guard the camp and protect the mission."

    Chen Lu said: "Logically speaking, this is your errand. I can't talk too much. But brother, look outside."

    The two of them went up to the archery tower while talking. Chen Lu continued: "The east gate of the city and our camp are closely related. Once we close the camp gate and pull the suspension bridge, the inside and outside will be isolated, making it easier for the enemy to defeat them one by one. Tu'er  If Fancheng is lost, can the camp be able to survive alone? We Han people have a saying, if the skin is gone, how will the hair be attached?"

    Basin nodded and said, "That's right, there's nothing we can do about it. If something happens to the mission, the prince will have to destroy our three clans."

    "Don't worry, General, these people in the mission are not just paper. As an observer, I know clearly that they want to sneak attack the camp and then attack the city from the east gate. Xiangzhuang dances with his sword, aiming at Peigong, and the ultimate goal is Turpan City  , maybe we have already entered. I suggest that we open the city gate wide, lower the suspension bridge, monitor the movements of the east gate at all times, and send someone to report to the east gate guard, and then go to investigate the surrounding area."

    Basin was very moved. Mr. Chen was not afraid of danger, understood the general situation, and took the overall situation into consideration. He was really a good public servant of the people. He said: "Sir, this will put the mission in danger."

    Chen Lu said: "It's okay. My old man just said that we are not made of clay or paper. Don't worry, just use your methods and don't let the thieves succeed."

    Basin nodded with tears in his eyes and said, "The last general will take the order."

    So the city gates were opened, the drawbridge was lowered, and people were sent to investigate.

    Before the sentry could set out, someone from the east gate came over to ask for help.  The messenger said that they found more than 10,000 bandit soldiers ambushing them in the northeast, and asked the Yacheng camp to strike first and bombard them with artillery.

    Hasan said: "General Basin, without further ado, let's shoot him a few times to make these thieves retreat before they know the difficulty, otherwise they will think we don't know yet. In addition, we can also report the news to the officers and soldiers in the western suburbs."

    Basin said: "That makes sense." He immediately sent a signal to the trebuchet.  This so-called trebuchet is a modified cannon, a pure cannon. China has eliminated it and has used flower cannons.

    After receiving the order, several cannons fired at the same time, shocking the earth, creating streaks of light in the middle of the night, exposing all the bandits ambushing outside the city to the gunfire.  The tiger-headed muskets at the east gate of Turpan City also fired, concentrating firepower on the ambush.

    There was a sound of drums and horns, and the ambushing bandit soldiers rose up in all directions and divided into two parts. One part went to attack the east gate, and the other part came to attack the Yacheng camp.  However, they only drew their bows and shot arrows outside the moat of the camp, let alone attacked.  The trench at the east city gate has been filled in, the door-jammers have been pushed out, and they are struggling to attack the city gate.

    Chen Lu and the others could clearly see that the main focus of the bandits was the city gate. This part was obviously meant to block reinforcements from the Yacheng camp. As long as they did not attack, they would not take the initiative to attack.

    Chen Lu said: "General Basin, his lips are dead and his teeth are cold. He can no longer hesitate and order the attack quickly. Otherwise, the east gate is in danger of being breached."

    Basin finally made up his mind and said: "Okay, half of the troops will be left at the end."The third commander of Kazakhstan commanded, be sure to protect several angels, and finally lead the troops to charge.  "After saying that, he ordered his men and horses, set up their bows and shot arrows, and marched in with great noise.

    There were so few of them that the bandits didn't take them seriously at all, and only used bows and arrows to greet them.

    Ha San said: "Look at this Yacheng camp, it was supposed to help defend the city gate. Now it seems that it is just used to station troops."

    Chen Lu said: "Yes, since this place surrendered to the imperial court, other tribesmen have not dared to come here to run wild. There has been no war for many years, and this camp has lost its original function." After speaking, he sighed and ordered Long Gang  Stay on the archery tower while Ha San goes to organize the defensive camp.

    The fighting at the east city gate was extremely fierce. Basin had already attacked it. They were attacking from both inside and outside. Seeing that they could not get any advantage, the rebels retreated at the fourth watch.  Chen Lu could see clearly and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

    In fact, attacking a city at night is a great opportunity for military strategists.  Chen Lu was also thinking that there must be a reason why these bandits were so eager to attack the city and sent out so many troops, but he didn't know what their intentions were.

    It was dawn, and everyone was preparing to eat, when there was an earth-shattering sound of cannon.  Someone came to report that the thieves were attacking.  Chen Lu quickly climbed up to the arrow tower and had a clear view.  The rebels failed to attack the city at night. The east gate of the city and the Yacheng camp were connected, but cutting off the north-south passage made it easier for the rebels to attack the Yacheng camp.

    No matter what, Turpan City was finally saved.  Chen Lu saw thieves all over the mountains and plains attacking the camp.

    Hasan said: "Sir, judging from the formation, there are 14,400 thieves attacking the city alone. They must have discovered that the camp was empty and attacked the city after capturing the Yacheng camp."  Chen Lu nodded.

    Basin ordered the flag signal to be fired and the artillery fired. At the same time as the officers and soldiers fired the artillery, they also attracted the enemy's artillery.  The wall of the camp was not as strong as the city wall. After a few shots, there was a big hole, and many officers and soldiers were killed.  He quickly broke through the outer positions, and all the officers and soldiers retreated to the camp, totaling less than 3,000 people.

    Basin ordered the baggage team and the cook team to come over to carry bows and arrows, rolling wood and rocks, and sent them to the city to ask for help.  He repeatedly emphasized that the soldiers protecting the mission could not move. If something went wrong with the angel and the guards were alive, the Yi tribe would be in danger.

    The more than two thousand people in Basin were quickly exhausted.  Chen Lu shouted and retreated to the mission courtyard.  He also knew that there was no point in retreating to the courtyard. Could it hold up a burst of artillery?  Let¡¯s take one step at a time.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
