When he ran away last time, Liu Ran was hit by an arrow in the back. The light arrow did not penetrate deeply and was not fatal, but the wound was not treated in time. He was exhausted for several days, and his physical strength and energy were exhausted. At first, he still felt the wound It hurt so bad that it no longer hurts, only numbness remains.
Everyone walked through the forest with one foot deep and one foot shallow, carefully avoiding branches that might be stepped on or broken.
Not long after we walked, there was a loud bang in the thick fog behind us, which made people panic. People stopped but didn't dare to look back.
"When you hear the noise, it's the fake camp we left behind, which was destroyed by the Mongols. This has been dragging them for a while, so everyone should leave quickly." Liu Ran explained without changing his expression.
The people lamented a few words and quickened their pace.
Liu Ran helped several people cross a ravine, then walked back hundreds of steps from his home to the west of the forest, where he stood behind a big tree and watched.
The fake camp was destroyed. It was just a lie to prevent the people from panic. Liu Ran did set up a fake camp outside Zhongmou City and put some money in the camp to confuse the Mongolian army, but it was captured at this time. It's not the camp, but the city of Zhongmou.
Due to the impact of the Yellow River's many breaches, the land around Kaifeng has a high soil content. To the west of Zhongmou, the land is vast and flat, which is especially suitable for horse herding. In recent years, trade between the north and the south has flourished, and Zhongmou has been used as a place to transport horses and livestock to facilitate trade. , the city walls were all open and useless. Liu Ran, the military judge, wrote many times to remind this, but there was no follow-up.
The Mongolian army came here and marched with light cavalry and rarely attacked the city. But there is no reason not to eat such a piece of fat meat?
The roar was clearly the sound of the emergency wooden fence being overthrown. Liu Ran listened attentively and heard the sound of fighting inside and outside the city paused briefly due to the loud noise. Soon after, the Mongolians cheered deafeningly, and countless people were horrified.
Desperate screams and cries also followed.
The Mongols are like a pack of wolves. Even if they are dozens of miles away, they can smell the smell of blood. Previously, there was a slight breach in the defense of Zhongmou City, and the Mongolian army units gathered from all directions. Now the city is about to be broken, and a feast of killing and plunder is about to begin.
Initially, the Mongolian army will inevitably gather in greater numbers.
In the blink of an eye, the sky became much brighter. Liu Ran looked at the boundless fog and saw Mongolian cavalry galloping back and forth, disappearing and appearing. On the back of their horses, they were either piled with looted property or tied up half naked.
