"Zhu Biaotong!" "Zhu Biaotong!" The soldiers who were guarding the city on the north side of Magedi saluted one after another.
"Yeah." The man named Biao Tong agreed, and then asked: "Have there been any changes among the Bengalis in the north?"
"Sir Biaotong," said a man wearing a military uniform from Baihu: "Since they saw my soldiers attack the city once but failed on the day they arrived, there has been no movement."
"There's no movement?" Biao Tong asked, "Not even logging?"
"No, they haven't done anything else since they set up the general camp. They have been in the military camp these days." Baihu said again.
"This is a bit strange." Biao Tong said softly. Even if they find that their more than 10,000 people cannot capture Majedi, they should still prepare camps and siege equipment to cut down trees for the army that will come later. "
Could it be that the Bengalis no longer intend to recapture Majedi? They just stick to the land that has not yet been lost?" He said softly. This was a reasonable guess, but he always felt that it should not be that simple.
While thinking about it, Biao Tong had already inspected the entire northern city wall, and the answer he received was that the Bengalis had not made any movement. Biao Tong then rushed back to a house in the city and reported to Magedi's supreme commander.
Zhang Fu reported.
"There is no movement in Bangladesh?" Zhang Fu was also very surprised: "Have they really given up on Medjedi?"
"Dai Zhen, tell me what you think." Zhang Fu said again.
This standard is Zhu Daizhen. When the Imperial Guard was reorganized in the third year of Jianye's reign, he was selected from other capital guards to join the Habayashi Left Guard. In the second year, he participated in the Battle of Annan, made great contributions and was appointed to the Hundred Households, and was promoted a year later.
As Deputy Qianhu. In the 10th year of Jianye, he was appointed Qianhu based on merit and seniority. Although he did not make much contribution in the Battle of Annan, he was actually very good at fighting. When Zhang Fu served as the standard commander of the left guard of Yulin
After discovering this, he kept it in mind and mentioned it to the General Staff of the Metropolitan Governor's Office when there was a vacancy for a thousand households in the tenth year of Jianye, and he was promoted to a thousand households. Last year, Yun appointed Zhang Fu as Wen's left prime minister.
, he called for Zhu Daizhen and directly appointed him as a Biao Tong. The Biao Tong was a military unit established when Zhu Zanyi became the king of Yue. It had jurisdiction over five thousand households, and each thousand households had five hundred households, with a total force of two
Eighteen hundred people.
"Left Prime Minister, logically speaking, the Bengalis should not give up on Majedi so easily, why should they send troops to envoys to retake the city. They are so abnormal, and my subordinates don't know what they are planning." Zhu Daizhen said.
After hearing Zhu Daizhen's words, Zhang Fu thought for a moment and guessed: "Could it be that they think that our successor troops will be able to arrive in Bangladesh in the next two days, so they are afraid that too many people will be sent here and our army will beat them."
Less defeated?"
"Or are the countries in the north that also believe in Tianfang religion trying to take advantage of Bangladesh to prevent the Shah from taking action? Or are the Brahmans in the country restless after hearing that the Heavenly Soldiers are going to attack Bangladesh?"
"Prime Minister Zuo, there is no new news coming, so we can't judge at all." Zhu Daizhen said again.
"Indeed." Zhang Fu said. The appearance of Bengalis is completely different from that of Orientals. It is impossible to send people from the country to lurk in Bangladesh to collect intelligence during the war. The Shah will monitor all Orientals who stay in the country, even if they look like Han people.
There is a slight difference. Khalid, who also serves him, is also under surveillance. And because the Ming Dynasty only started to send people to India after the Battle of Yiwu, the local people now bribed are the most ordinary people, and they are also inquiring
No necessary and important information is available.
"Order the soldiers stationed on the four walls of the city not to slack off, and to check the Bengali military camp opposite every day to see if they have any unusual movements." Zhang Fu added.
"Yes." Zhu Daizhen agreed, thought for a while and then said: "Prime Minister Zhang, would you like to ask Your Highness to send more soldiers to station in Majedi?"
"Why, do you think the Shah is planning some conspiracy?" Zhang Fu asked.
"My subordinates are just very uneasy about the current behavior of the monarch of Bangladesh. I always feel that he has not simply given up on Majedee." Zhu Daizhen replied.
"What you said makes sense, but it is absolutely impossible to send troops and horses here." Zhang Fu said: "You should also know that His Highness's safety is very important, and the number of soldiers beside His Highness cannot be less than here."
"In this case, it is better to retreat from Majedi. The reason why we attacked Noakhali City before the army arrived was to attack the east and attack the west. However, no matter why the Bengalis did not send too many troops, the purpose of attacking the east and the west was not achieved.
It is better to withdraw the troops as soon as possible." Zhu Daizhen said again.
Hearing Zhu Daizhen's words, Zhang Fu lowered his head with a wry smile on his face. It was not in his plan to seize Magedi. His plan was just to march troops to Magedi to scare the defenders, pretend to attack the city, and then immediately
retreated; but after capturing the city of Noakali, Wen led the troops to pursue the remaining defeated generals. When they pursued to the foot of Magedi, they saw that there were not many defenders in the city and they were a little panicked. Wen took advantage of the situation and captured the city. Zhang Fu learned that
Immediately afterwards, Majedi came to persuade him to withdraw his troops, but Wen said: "How can the soldiers retreat without fighting?" He insisted that he could not retreat until the Bangladeshi soldiers came over. Although Zhang Fu was the left prime minister, he also sent troops this time.
The former deputy general of the army, but unwilling to disagree with Wen, could only agree not to retreat for the time being and wait for the Bangladeshi soldiers to counterattack before retreating. However, he finally persuaded Wen to return to Noakhali City and garrison Majedi himself.
Later, the Bangladeshi soldiers came to counterattack, but there were only more than 10,000 people, not much more than Zhang Fu's men. He also had a city to defend, so he felt that retreating at this time would damage morale and affect his prestige, so
He decided to hold a defensive position until the number of Bangladeshi troops increased to at least 20,000 before retreating. But what he didn't expect was that after tentatively attacking the city once, the enemy troops stopped moving and stayed in the military camp very quietly.
It seems that they came here to sleep. Under this situation, Zhang Fu could not withdraw his troops and could only continue to waste them.
"You don't have to worry about the withdrawal of troops. Just urge the soldiers not to slack off." After a while, Zhang Fu said.
"Yes, left prime minister." Zhu Daizhen agreed. Although he only knows how to fight and does not get involved in anything else, he is not stupid. When Zhang Fu said this, he knew that whether to withdraw troops or not is not only a military issue, but also no longer a military issue.
If you say more, you will have to back off once you agree.
'Send someone to discuss with His Highness whether to withdraw the troops. If His Highness still doesn't agree, then send someone to tell General Lan and let him order the withdrawal.' Zhang Fu thought.
But just as he was thinking, hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside, and a soldier walked in regardless of etiquette and said to Zhang Fu: "General, there are Bangladeshi soldiers on the road leading to Noakali City in the south!"
