Chapter 324 Opportunity
In Jingbian County, where Zhou Yuhong, the Tiger and Leopard Army, was defending himself. As another night passed in tranquility, Zhou Yuhong, who had not waited for the Mongolian cavalry for five or six days, gradually began to gather together.
At this moment, he was even thinking about whether to send someone out of the city to contact DaShima Wei Zheng immediately to see if he needed to change his combat plan.
You should know that the Mongolian cavalry carried not much military ration, and the military rations of the Tiger and Leopard Army that had to be transported from Datong, Shanxi were also very limited. It was just that the cavalry configuration in the Tiger and Leopard Army was not too high, and the supplement of a large amount of meat, the limited military rations of the Tiger and Leopard Army could take seven or eight days more than the Mongolian cavalry.
Of course, this only took seven or eight days.
If the Mongols hidden in northern Shaanxi are not destroyed by themselves within seven or eight days, they will also face the crisis of food shortage when they are stationed in the county.
At that time, it will not destroy the Mongolian cavalry by oneself, but the Mongolian cavalry will destroy itself.
Therefore, as time passed day by day, the limited military rations were less and less than one day. Zhou Yuhong saw it and was anxious in his heart. He wanted to directly disobey the order of the general of the Grand Commander Wei Zheng, lead troops out of the city, take the initiative to find the Mongolian cavalry with the dragon's head but not the tail, and fight with them... instead of waiting aimlessly here.
Just as Zhou Yuhong was about to go to the city wall to see if he would get any results today, the battalion commander who was on duty last night rushed towards the county government where he was with a look of surprise on his face, and collided with him.
Facing Zhou Yuhong, the battalion commander who came hurriedly quickly reported: "General, there is something happening. There is something happening outside the city..."
"Cabin. The Mongolian cavalry we were waiting for appeared..."
"Go to the city wall... Notify the three regiment commanders and go to the city wall immediately. We meet at the city wall..." After hearing this long-lost news, Zhou Yuhong's confused eyes quickly shot out two rays of light and shouted at the guard behind him.
Then, with an anxious look on his face, he jogged towards the city wall not far away.
Because Zhou Yuhong, who was anxious, looked very much like looking at the true face of the Mongolian cavalry. He saw what kind of enemy it was, and he could only have room for resistance to the Tiger and Leopard Army.
With the help of the war horse, Zhou Yuhong stepped on the wall, which was only one cup of tea, just a battle higher than a battle.
Under the cover of night, ten thousand Mongolian cavalry, like ghosts in the night, quietly surrounding Jingbian County.
Looking around, the wasteland outside Jingbian City has been covered by flags, swords, guns, swords and halberds that have been covered by Mongolian cavalry.
Not only that, the well-trained Mongolian cavalry have formed one thousand-man army formation after another outside the city, ready to launch an attack on Jingbian County at any time.
Seeing this, Zhou Yuhong's eyes became brighter and shouted with excitement.
"It's Mongolian cavalry... and there are tens of thousands of people, almost the same as the estimated number of people as the Grand Marshal. I can say with certainty that the Mongolians outside the city have fallen into a crisis of food shortage. Otherwise, they would never expose themselves and launch an attack on the Jingbian County where we are..."
At this time, the three regiment commanders rushed to the city wall with their hot faces.
After seeing the Mongolian cavalry outside the city covering the sky and the sun, the hot expressions on everyone's faces not only did not dissipate at all, but instead became stronger and stronger.
Especially the two musket regiment commanders directly under Zhou Yuhong asked for battle with a passionate face: "General, these Mongolian cavalry finally dare to show their heads... Just give orders, we will fight as much as you ask us to fight... We must let the Mongolian cavalry outside the city touch our heads and bloody under our feet..."
Zhou Yuhong nodded and replied with a satisfied smile: "I know that after waiting for so long, you are holding your breath in your heart... But don't forget the purpose of our coming here..."
"With the strength and strength in our hands, we can indeed make the Mongolian cavalry go to a head and blood. However, when the troops are limited, we cannot wipe them out..."
"You must know that the purpose of the Grand Marshal's formulation of this combat plan is to wipe out them completely and avenge the soldiers who died in battle, rather than to defeat them, leaving some regrets."
"So, no matter how much you want to deal with the Mongolian cavalry outside the city, you have to endure it for me..."
Seeing the three people's hot expressions quickly calmed down, Zhou Yuhong's satisfied smile became stronger and he continued, "Very good... Now, it's time for me to issue specific orders to you..."
"According to the combat plan formulated by the Grand Marshal, our current priority is to attract the Mongolian cavalry around Jingbian County. After the main force completes the encirclement of them, the center will bloom and eliminate them cleanly."
"In order to avoid strong firepower to bring down the Mongolians outside the city, our general decided: After the Mongolian cavalry in the outside city launched an attack, all soldiers were prohibited from using mortars. At the critical moment, the soldiers participating in defending the city could only have one battalion..."
"One battalion holds on the city wall for an hour.... Six musket battalions are rotating..."
Speaking of this, Zhou Yuhong immediately turned his attention to the commander of the cavalry regiment and ordered with a serious face.
"Captain Wang, our guards from several other county towns, whether we can get the news that the Mongolian cavalry is attacking us depends on you... Immediately draw a team of cavalry from the army, and leave the city immediately in a platoon... Immediately send the news that we were attacked by the Mongolian cavalry to Dingbian, Yan'an, and the commander..."
Commander Wang of the Cavalry Regiment replied with a solemn look: "General Zhou received the order... Please rest assured General Zhou, General Zhou will definitely send the news to the three counties..."
After saying that, the cavalry commander with a serious face hurriedly left the city wall...
At this time, tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry who were ready for battle moved...
A Mongolian Thousand People Team holding a longbow, and a Thousand People Team carrying a cloud ladder and a scimitar, all jumped off the war horses and rushed out of the military formation that covered the sky and the sun. Then, it was like endless waves, pressing towards the city walls.
The Mongolians were dispatched... Zhou Yuhong, who witnessed all these changes, ordered with a fanatical face.
"The First Battalion of the Muskets, prepare for the battle immediately... The other soldiers, exit the city wall immediately..."
