"The Mongols have stopped! They don't dare to break into the camp! The commander is really decisive!"
Wang Shixian's deputy was a bald, eagle-eyed, capable middle-aged man named Wen Qian. Seeing the Mongolian cavalry slowly slowing down, Wen Qian couldn't help but his eyes were burning and his face was full of excitement.
"It's just a trail." Wang Shixian nodded slightly. His tone was not conceited or deliberately modest, but rather bitter in his words.
The tragic defeats in the past few years have caused many soldiers to lose their normal judgment. The light cavalry is like a thin and sharp blade. Although its lethality is terrible, it is always heavily armored. And the fortress with a scale of ten thousand people has its own problems.
If there is no chaos, there will be no loopholes. Even if a small number of enemy cavalry breaks in, there will be nothing to do.
This is a very simple truth, and it is the common sense of warriors! There is nothing to admire!
It is because of our weakness over the years that the Mongols have become so arrogant... But if they are too arrogant, they have to pay with their lives!
Aljinchi? Mongolian elite? Only one hundred riders!
As long as our army goes step by step, they will come to die!
"The camp is stabilized! The Mongols cannot be allowed to escape!" Wang Shixian stared at the Mongolian cavalry sharply and said coldly: "Urge all departments to separately block the outer walls and block the trenches! Now that this piece of meat has been delivered to you, I
I want it to rot in the pot!"
As soon as the military order was issued, the flags on several garrison towers waved continuously, and drums and trumpets sounded one after another. Wang Shixian's men immediately took action. The interior of the camp was still tight, and on the high walls outside, several groups of soldiers holding strong bows and crossbows appeared.
Previously, Yu Xiaowu led archers to support along the high wall, but he arrived at the wooden bridge to the east a step too late and watched Zhang Jiao die in battle. This made him extremely angry and turned livid.
He rolled up his sleeves, moved the heavy antlers with two soldiers, and put them at the end of the wooden bridge. Then he said sternly: "The commander has ordered to seal the outer wall! We are here! We can't retreat even one step!"
When he spoke, he did not look at the other group of soldiers at all.
The soldiers were all ashamed, and some almost cried. One of the generals immediately gritted his teeth and drew a knife, and scratched a deep scar on his handsome face: "My brother died, and our troops were defeated. But we are not timid!"
It’s not that I’m afraid of death! Today I will destroy these Tatars and avenge my brother!”
Zhang Jiao suddenly died in battle, and his tribe was scattered. According to military law, all of these subordinates should be killed. But this general was Zhang Jiao's only remaining clan brother, named Zhang Qian. He had been close to Zhang Jiao in the past, and Yu Xiaowu
It's hard to start.
At that moment, Zhang Qian led others to stand in a row in front of the antlers. Everyone held swords and shields and roared: "Kill the Tatars and avenge the generals!"
Delbatu noticed the movements outside the camp, but didn't take it seriously.
Ordinary Mongolians do not understand the origins of many ethnic groups in the Central Plains dynasty. In their concept, the Jurchens are the lords of the Central Plains, the Khitans are a weak and defeated ethnic group, and the Han'er have been defeated by the Jurchens and Khitans for generations.
The weak who rule.
This idea is based on reality and cannot be said to be wrong.
The Mongols' continuous defeats of the Jin army in the past few years have further strengthened this concept. They are increasingly convinced that the number of Han people is extremely large, and there are occasionally heroes among them, but most of them are timid and easy to drive.
He was a good farmer, craftsman and slave, but he was by no means an expert on the battlefield and was not good enough to fight against the Mongolian army.
Therefore, even if the situation changed subtly, Delbatu did not panic, and did not even consider leaving the camp.
The intelligence sent by the fourth prince was very clear. Guo Ning's elite main force, thousands of people, had all gone to Yidu, and those who stayed in Laizhou were all old and weak and miscellaneous soldiers gathered together temporarily.
The Mongolian Aljinchi trampled on these weak people, just like tigers and leopards walking on sheep. Even if the sheep gather together, what is there to fear? Can the sheep bite the tigers and leopards?
These layers of rough camps are indeed an obstacle. But tigers and leopards will always be tigers and leopards, and sheep will always be sheep. Don’t panic. It’s just that catching them is more troublesome than before... We must capture these guys today.
The camp was turned upside down and everyone was frightened!
The fourth prince will definitely be happy when he knows our victory!
Delbatu reined in his horse and said to his companions: "Find a loose camp with a lot of women! Rush in, kill them all, and drive them out!"
The fighting between tribes on the grassland is like this. Delbatu is the best Alkinchi. He has braved the wind and snow countless times and traveled long distances to find campsites for women and children from hostile tribes in the wilderness.
Once the camp is raided and the women and children in the camp are slaughtered, the men fighting outside will panic...Then the Mongolian army will kill the men too and wipe out the entire tribe.
This method has been used countless times. In fact, no further instructions are needed. Every Mongolian knight is extremely familiar with it.
Hidden on the outskirts of every camp are wooden palisades instead of rammed earth walls. The scene behind the wooden palisades cannot be concealed from anyone. Experienced experts don’t even need to see anything clearly. They just ride past, with a vague look in their eyes.
The images below will allow them to make the clearest judgment.
After almost ten breaths, several cavalrymen came back in circles and pointed to a camp at the end of the road: "There! There are women and children there! Many! They are very scared!"
The iron cavalry roared, and the black whirlwind rolled up again.
"Damn it! Are these Mongolians all mad dogs?" Wang Shixian, who was watching the battle from a high place, suddenly yelled.
He drew the knife in his hand and shouted to the left and right: "Follow me!"
At the same time, Delbatu roared loudly. "Suhe! Asir! Daritai! You guys rush forward!"
Following his order, the three knights whipped their whips wildly, beating the good horse's hindquarters until the flesh was bloody. The horse neighed angrily, but the reins were tightly strangled, and then the head and neck were hugged, and the horse's head was felt.
The horses were wrapped in robes. The horses twisted their necks and ran wildly. The next moment, they crashed into the fence, both man and horse.
The fence was hastily built in a few days. The entire camp was divided into twenty or thirty camps, and each camp had a fence. However, because of the large amount of work, the defensive power of each fence was actually very average.
The wood is tied horizontally and vertically, and then propped against a stake on the back.
When the first strong horse hit, this section of the fence shook suddenly and made a creaking sound, but the Mongolian horse broke its bones and fell to the ground wailing. The second strong horse hit again, leaving dozens of holes on the fence.
The bundles of straw ropes broke apart at the same time, and several sections of thick wood suddenly burst open, causing sawdust to fly.
And the third strong horse followed immediately... With a loud bang, the fence collapsed!
The war horse rolled over and overturned the entire fence, its slender neck twisted into a terrifying shape, and the Mongolian knight with his feet tied in the stirrups also rolled over, spitting blood from his mouth.
Dozens of war horses rushed in through the gap in the fence.
Delbatu's war horse leaped like a tiger. He held up a long straight knife, and the blade shone brightly. The light of the knife went down like electricity, across the neck of a strong man, almost cutting off one third of his neck, and
The war horse continued to advance, and he struck another blow with his backhand. The second knife penetrated the strong man's left chest from behind. Although it did not penetrate, blood rushed out.
More cavalry rushed through the gap, and the sounds of slashing with swords, shouts of killing, and screams came one after another.
The Mongolians' judgment was absolutely correct. There were really many women and children in this camp.
Most of the family members of Guo Ning's soldiers were settled in Sanshan Port in Xiyou Town to the west of Laizhou in advance. If there was an emergency, they could board a ship and take refuge at sea at any time, but a small number still stayed in Haicang Town.
These women and children were placed in a safer place inside the camp, but they never thought that the Mongols would penetrate right into the camp like wolf dogs that can track the scent of blood!
Yao Shier's wife Feng's face was pale. She had experienced many defeats in northern Xinjiang, and she had narrowly escaped with her life. This feeling of dying was all too familiar.
In front of them, there were the shouts of the Mongols like landslides and tsunamis, the muffled sound of galloping war horses crashing into the barracks and wooden huts, and the screams of their comrades when they were seriously injured. The sounds gathered together and formed some kind of terrible sound.
Things spread in the air, making people's hands and feet weak, unable to stand or run.
Relying on instinct, she pressed the two children under her and covered them with her own body.
Then, someone grabbed her bun, yanked her up, and shouted at her.
Feng's temperament was a bit weak, and she was about to collapse. She could see and hear, but she couldn't react, and her mind went blank. So the man slapped her hard twice, causing blood to bleed from the corners of her mouth and her teeth began to swell.
shake.
"Ah?" Feng finally came to her senses: "Ahan, are you there too?"
Lu Han had a cold face, pushed Feng back, and then said to the two children: "Run back, someone will cover you, don't be afraid!"
