"Master Zhang, why are you here? Leave quickly. If you are injured or have an accident, I can't afford it." Zhao Yongsheng, who was commanding the battle on the other side, received the report from his soldiers and rushed to see Zhang Yanling, shouting loudly.
.
Zhang Yanling said: "General Zhao, we just came to take a look. After hearing that you came to fight on the city wall in the middle of the night, we thought of coming to help. It is everyone's responsibility to guard the pass and kill the Tatars."
Zhao Yongsheng smiled bitterly and said: "Master Zhang, please don't cause trouble. This is our duty, and we don't need help from you. If you come to help, we will be helpless. Please tell your brother to withdraw and leave."
Zhang Yanling nodded and said: "Looking at this situation, there is really no need for help. Are the Tatars a bunch of fools? Attacking like this? Isn't that just a way to die? The city wall is so high, why do they still think they can attack it? Even if they have excellent archery skills.
, how many people can be shot, that means more casualties. I looked at it from a distance, and there were dozens of them dead and wounded. Is this a Tatar attack? It is very confusing. "
Zhao Yongsheng frowned and said: "What does the Marquis mean by this? Do you think this is a joke? This is a battle. The Tatars secretly climbed the city wall at night, intending to infiltrate. They shot and killed three of the patrolling team, and the other brothers warned
, then they discovered their plan. My soldiers fought with their lives, and the Marquis felt
Is this child's play? If we hadn't noticed, at least dozens of them would have climbed over the battlements tonight and entered our Ming Dynasty. They might even attack and kill our soldiers in the beacon tower, seize the Great Wall pass, and lead a large number of Tatars to attack. Every time
If harassment is not taken seriously, it may eventually lead to catastrophe."
Zhao Yongsheng was a little excited. In his opinion, people like Zhang Yanling knew nothing about being pampered. The challenges faced by the border guards were huge. In order to defend the Great Wall pass, they had to face various harassments from the Tatars. And every day the Tatars
an attack
It is possible to capture the Great Wall Pass and seize the border fortress, which will cause serious consequences. It is a pity that the hard work and sacrifice of the border soldiers are not known for what purpose. They are protecting people like Zhang Yanling, which is really infuriating.
.
"General Zhao, I don't mean to belittle, and don't get me wrong. I admire the frontier soldiers very much. Life here is so difficult, and you have to face the cunning and fierce attack of the Tatars. How can you stick to it?
"To protect the peace of the Ming Dynasty, I admire you from the bottom of my heart. I, Zhang Yanling, have never experienced a real battle and am a bit ignorant. I just feel that the scene of this battle is different from what I imagined, and I am not derogatory in any way." Zhang Yanling.
hurriedly explained.
Zhao Yongsheng also realized that his emotions were a little too extreme, and said in a deep voice: "I am not blaming Mr. Hou, but I just hope that you can give me and my border army brothers some respect. After tonight, many brothers will not be able to see each other tomorrow."
The sun is shining. Many brothers are injured and bleeding. They don’t mean anything, but at least we must respect them. The Tatars’ intentions have been seen through, so we naturally don’t have to worry about them today.
The party invaded the valley. However, if the Tatars did not retreat, we would fight against them. This is the rule of our Longmen Guards. As long as the Tatars attack, no matter how big or small the battle is, as long as the Tatars do not stop attacking, we will accompany them.
In the end, we have to fight until they retreat. This is the ambition of our Longmen Guards. We must overwhelm them in terms of momentum and we must not let the Tatars underestimate us."
Zhang Yanling nodded slightly, sincerely admiring him in his heart. This is the embodiment of the fighting will of a soldier. To put it bluntly, it is a fighting will that refuses to admit defeat, is not afraid of death, and will not give in. Presumably, it is not the same as the Tatars outside the city wall.
They have fought, so they are absolutely unwilling to lose in terms of momentum. The momentum of the Longmen Guards soldiers is that if you want to fight, I will fight with you to the end.
"I admire you very much. General Zhao, I have soldiers like you guarding the border in the Ming Dynasty, so that the people of the Ming Dynasty can rest in peace. Please bow to me and accept my respect." Zhang Yanling said with cupped hands.
Zhao Yongsheng hurriedly handed over his hands and returned the salute: "That's not necessary, we are just fulfilling our duties. But your doubts are not unreasonable. Even in this situation, the Tatars still refuse to stop. Recently, the Tatars don't know that China is
Something evil happened. The number of attacks increased, and they often stalked me. They refused to retreat even after suffering a loss. I don’t know what happened. It’s very strange.”
Zhang Yanling said: "You are saying that the number of attacks by Tatars has increased recently? Has it suddenly increased?"
Zhao Yongsheng said: "We have been harassed no less than twenty or thirty times in the past two months. They come to cause trouble every few days. They have attacked more than a dozen valleys under the jurisdiction of our Longmen Guards. I don't know what their plans are.
What, every time there are more casualties than us. Did the dog Tatar take any medicine?"
Zhang Yanling said: "The abnormal activities of the Tatars mean that they have any intentions? For example, to test the distribution of troops for defense. Or are they preparing for a large-scale attack?"
Zhao Yongsheng frowned and shook his head and said: "They know the defense situation of our Longmen guards very well, why do they need to test it? A large-scale attack will not be enough. Unless they seize a few valley entrances, they will not be able to get in at all. Besides, our here
The terrain makes it difficult for their cavalry to pass. They forcefully mobilize a large army to attack us. Once the heavy troops stationed in the west of Xuanfu Town arrive, they will have no way to retreat. Isn't it a dead end? The Tatars are not stupid, how can they do such a stupid thing?
?”
Zhang Yanling said: "General Zhao, I have never led an army in a battle, so I dare not make random guesses. However, if something goes wrong, there must be a monster. Since the Tatars continue to cause trouble and are obviously at a disadvantage but refuse to retreat, I think there is no way to do it here.
There seems to be something fishy. This seems to be a deliberate harassment and feint, as if it is covering up some conspiracy."
Zhao Yongsheng frowned and said in deep thought: "Conspiracy? Does the Marquis mean that their feint attack is just a cover-up? Deliberately?"
Zhang Yanling smacked his lips and said: "I don't know, I just have this feeling. General Zhao, look, those Tatars down there are obviously not attacking, they are just deliberately making trouble on the hillside, shooting arrows to attract attention. How can there be such a fight? Any
Not a single soldier or horse
As for being so stupid that there is no hope of attacking but still being passively beaten on the hillside. So far, I haven't even seen a decent siege equipment. The Tatars can't even build things like catapults, right? If you are
Would the Tatar general do this?"
Zhao Yongsheng had never thought about this problem before, and he fell into deep thought after hearing this. If the Tatars' intention in harassing them was just to take advantage of the defenders' negligence to sneak up the city wall, then they had already been discovered, and they should have stopped.
The Tatars have been like this for the past two months. When they are discovered, they still attack noisily and make a fuss until dawn. What is the point of doing this? Is it because they are holding their breath and refuse to admit defeat?
Zhang Yanling was also thinking about it. Such a battle seemed very strange to Zhang Yanling. It felt like a deliberate delay to attract attention. If the Tatars are really so stupid and single-minded, how can they deserve it?
Become an enemy of Ming Dynasty?
"General Zhao. I heard that Tatars often sneak into the Ming Dynasty from the border. Looking at the defense situation here at Longmen Guards, how can they sneak into the Ming Dynasty? I am a little confused." Zhang Yanling asked in a deep voice.
