On the top of the city, Baoyin and Sana looked at the Tatar military camp and saw that they were in a hurry, wondering what they were going to do.
"Are they going to escape?" Sana guessed. After saying this, she couldn't help but cheered: "Great! They are finally leaving!"
"It's not like that, the retreat won't make such a big noise." Baoyin slowly shook his head and said: "It looks like they are preparing to do something."
"Could it be that they haven't given up yet?!" Sana was poured cold water on her face, and her face immediately wrinkled. Although she had been sticking to Baoyin these days, she was really fed up with the torture of the cruel war and closed up at night.
Her eyes were filled with mountains of corpses and seas of blood. During the day, she would always be overwhelmed by the heavy blood and unable to eat. She did not want to live in such a day any longer.
"It's better not to give up!" Baoyin's eyes shone brightly, and he tightened his grip on the riding crop and said, "On what day did his army enter the Loop?"
"What?" Sana was stunned, not understanding what Baoyin wanted to ask.
"When did the imperial army enter Tumochuan?" Baoyin had no choice but to ask again.
Sana understood now and quickly replied: "The carrier pigeon said it was the seventh day of May." The contents carried by so many carrier pigeons were not exactly the same. Some wrote the current position of Wang Xian's army, and some wrote
The time when he arrived at Tumochuan and the strength of his troops were also mentioned. Anyway, it depends on whether you believe it or not.
"Today is..." Baoyin said softly: "It's the tenth day of May, right?"
"It's May 11th." Sana said softly: "It's already the time to give birth." She said with a smile: "Looking at it, my brother-in-law's army will arrive tomorrow."
"He may not arrive tomorrow," Baoyin bit her red lips, guessing the guy's thoughts in her heart, her eyes gradually became firmer and said, "He will definitely not arrive tomorrow."
"Ah?!" Sana was taken aback and said in a rather resentful tone: "How could my brother-in-law not come over quickly? Why is he bothering?!"
"Of course he has his reasons." Baoyin said lightly. If Wang Xian heard this, he would be moved to tears and say, 'My wife is still considerate...'
"Then when will he arrive?" Sana asked with a pout.
?"The time will come of course." Baoyin said with an inscrutable smile.
"Bieji, you are bullying people..." Sana protested.
"Okay, don't worry about it anymore." Baoyin said to Sana with a smile: "Go and invite General Chen over."
During the tea time, a middle-aged Han man with a solemn expression followed Sana to Baoyin, saluted respectfully and said: "I will finally pay my respects to Madam."
Just by hearing the name, you can tell that he is Wang Xian. Over the years, Wang Xian has successively identified many talents for Baoyin to strengthen the strength of Hetao. This middle-aged man named Chen Duo was brought out by Wang Xian
The middle-level generals left the Ming army after receiving the order and served under Baoyin's tent.
"General Chen, I'm sorry to invite you here so late." Baoyin respected Chen Duo very much and always entrusted him with important tasks, appointing him as the guard of the King's City. However, after the city defense battle began, the guard was assigned
Responsible for the resettlement of residents in the city, he almost never appears at the top of the city.
This makes many people unable to understand, thinking that Chen Duo has offended Baoyin in some way, but the person involved has no complaints and others are not nosy.
"My lady's words are serious, the general will only rely on your orders." Chen Duo said, looking at his nose and nose.
"Are you ready for street fighting?" Baoyin knew that he was a pure soldier, so he stopped being polite and asked directly.
"Go back to Madam, everything is ready. The people have completed the drill. The obstacles can be set up within one stick of incense. In another one stick of incense, all personnel who are not participating in the war can be transferred to the cave." Chen Duo replied softly.
.
"It's been very hard on you during this time." Baoyin knew best. Behind Chen Duo's answers, there were so many people working hard day and night. It can be seen just by looking at the fatigue on his face.
"This is a matter within the scope of my subordinates." Chen Duo responded and couldn't help but ask softly: "Madam, is it possible that the war situation has deteriorated to the point of street fighting?"
"..." Baoyin was silent for a long time and finally did not answer...
After Arutai made the plan, he summoned the big and small leaders overnight and announced to them that Shi Nigan would have full command of the siege tomorrow. In order not to interfere with his authority, Arutai would sit in the middle of the army and would not appear unless necessary.
>Arutai also ordered Abu Zian to lead the main force of the headquarters to guard against possible sneak attacks by the Ming army on the periphery, and ordered people to send scouts to the north, southeast, and closely monitor the movements of the main force of the Ming army. Be sure to report all their movements, first
Time passed back to the Chinese Army.
After giving some orders, Arutai looked around at the Tatar nobles in the tent and said in a deep voice: "The revival of Mongolia will be completed by the Tatars. The first step in the revival is to seize the city in front of you!" As he spoke, he improved.
The tone of his voice was: "Tomorrow, we will destroy the city at all costs!"
The next day, when the sky was bright and the mist on the grassland had just dissipated, the soldiers guarding the city saw that the gate of the Tatar military camp was open. The men of all ethnic groups who served as cannon fodder were driven out of the camp gate by the Tatar cavalry.
They generally marched towards the city in a procession.
"They really haven't given up yet!" The generals of the Hetao Army looked solemn. They had really hoped that the Tatars would retreat despite the difficulties and end this extremely torturous battle.
But apparently, the Tatars have not given up...
"Well done!" Baoyin, who came after hearing the news, happily clapped his arrows and said, "I was just afraid they wouldn't attack the city!"
The generals looked at Baoyin in confusion and listened to her explanation: "If they escape, who should we seek revenge from?" Even so, Baoyin was still very cautious and ordered the generals in a deep voice: "Tatars dare to attack
We will go all out to attack the city today, and the battle will definitely be crueler than ever before. Please keep your spirits up and don't make mistakes at the last moment!"
"Understood!" the generals responded loudly.
"Okay!" Baoyin nodded and said in a deep voice: "Be prepared for a fight to the death." As she said that, she looked outside the city, and the cannon fodder troops were getting closer and closer...
The generals at the top of the city responded and also looked outside the city. After seeing the appearance of the cannon fodder troops clearly, they couldn't help but think of a soft buzz on the top of the city. The generals were surprised to find that the cannon fodder soldiers were different from the usual shabby clothes.
They were even unarmed. This time they all got weapons, and even wore simple leather armor, and even chainmail... You know, on the grasslands where supplies are scarce, armor has always been a rarity, and the Tatar cannon fodder troops were also
Wearing armor obviously cost a lot of money.
Moreover, the Tatars spent more than just these simple weapons and armors. The defenders at the top of the city were horrified to find that in addition to carrying ladders, the cannon fodder troops also pushed arrow-blocking carts made of huge wooden boards covered with cowhide, and even had stairs with stairs.
Siege engines... These crude and heavy siege engines have never appeared in the Tatar army.
Although it is still unknown how effective it will be, it brought huge psychological pressure to the defenders at the top of the city. This clearly told them that today's siege will definitely be different from the past!
Shi Nigan was wearing chainmail and a golden-winged helmet. He was riding proudly on a tall horse, enjoying the admiration and compliments of the Tatar nobles beside him. Not to mention the defenders on the city, even these Tatar nobles,
I have never seen these rough, bulky, yet powerful big guys before.
These were all built for Shi Nigan by secretly ordering the Han people in the cannon fodder army to build them for him in the past month. By building siege equipment for Shi Nigan, he would not have to go to the city walls to die. Naturally, the Han people were scrambling for the first place, and their use was extremely limited.
With the conditions and resources, more than a hundred instruments were built within a month.
Previously, these big guys were hidden in the Shenigan camp and were closely guarded by his subordinates. They never saw the light of day until today!
'Today is the day when I, Shi Nigan, will be famous all over the world!' Shi Nigan suppressed his raging blood and shouted loudly to the cannon fodder soldiers: "Think of your wives and children. If you are defeated,
, what fate will they suffer?!"
The cannon fodder soldiers who were still numb at first heard the words, their chests rose and fell, their breathing became rapid, their eyes turned blood red, and many of them roared in their mouths, as if they had transformed into wild beasts.
"Win this battle for me, and you will all become my tribe and will never be trampled on by others!" Shi Nigan pointed at the city head and shouted hoarsely: "Come on!"
"Ouch!" The cannon fodder soldiers heard the order and howled more violently. They pushed the heavy siege equipment and surged towards the King's City like a tide!
"This kind of morale is unprecedented!" The Tatar nobles gathered around Shi Nigan and started complimenting him. Today, the old master gave the center of the stage to Shi Nigan. These people make a career out of flattery.
The guys naturally dedicated their flattery to Shi Nigan: "Dataiji is really extraordinary. He can make those indifferent pigs fight for us Tatars!"
Shi Niqian enjoyed the flattery of everyone, and after a while he said calmly: "Although they are all used for consumption, it is always good to let them put in more effort."
"Good luck to you!" All the generals agreed...
Driven by the combination of the grace and power of Nirgan, and under the coercive threat of the Tatar army, tens of thousands of cannon fodder troops rushed to the foot of the Great King's City, immediately turning this not too small city into an isolated island in the ocean.
The defenders on the city have begun shooting with bows and arrows. The flying arrows are like locusts, falling into the airtight cannon fodder formation. The arrows are completely flawless. Almost every arrow can knock down an enemy soldier!
On the one hand, this is due to the superb archery skills of the defenders, and more importantly, the siege team is so dense that it is difficult to shoot in the air!
As for rolling stones and wood, hot oil and boiling water can naturally be thrown casually under the city, which will directly take away the lives of enemy troops.
However, those cannon fodder troops were not only completely numb, they were still fearless of death. People around them screamed and fell to the ground, while the others turned a blind eye and continued to move forward!
