The Mengyuan people live in the grass, and the tent carriage is their home.
And when marching, the horses are their companions and their tents.
The autumn weather is crisp, but the grassland outside Yehuling is very windy, and people without tents can only sit on the edge of the campfire, roasting cow dung bonfire.
The literati admired the rule of three generations, probably believing that at that time, the politics were clear, and the people in the upper position and the people below shared weal and woe.
But since the beginning of human records, it is difficult to find a country or tribe that is united in the same mind and treats equally.
Even if it's just a small tribe, it's still divided into high and low.
Arutai's tent was resplendent with gold, and for this big tent, a specially made cart drawn by more than a dozen horses was parked behind, and dozens of horsemen were inspecting the carriage.
The big tent was brightly lit, but Arutai's complexion was cloudy.
It stands to reason that Tuhuan's strength can at least rank in the top five, but he stood at the back and was silent.
"Taishi, Jubao Shanwei is very famous, today's battle can be seen, if the stalemate continues, we will lose!"
A tribal leader said with a worried face: "Think about having such a wolf staring at your back, let's be in a dilemma, retreat, worrying that they will chase after us, we will carry a large number of cattle and sheep, and it will be difficult to move."
If it's an offense......
Taishi, blood will water the grassland, and the pasture in this place will definitely be particularly abundant next year. ” There was a Qianhu official present who participated in the mountain pass breakthrough battle during the day, and he remembered the flames and gunsmoke, and couldn't help but say: "Taishi, unless the Ming people take the initiative to go down the mountain, they can't be attacked!"
” Arutai nodded and said: "There is no need to worry about this matter, we are all cavalry, we just need to distance ourselves and fight Xinghe Fort first to see how the Ming army responds." ” …… Zhang Yu was very worried, recruited his subordinates, and said worriedly: "Those enemy troops have not come back after they went, no one knows what the battle situation is, our side is weak, if Arutai comes to attack with all his strength, it can't support it for a few days, what should we do?"
” Zhao Xinbang frowned and said: "My lord, the enemy army has not returned, there are two possibilities, one is that it has fallen into a stalemate, and the other is that the enemy army has won a big victory and has broken into the Wild Fox Ridge, and their goal will be perfect." ” Yu Sanhuo's small eyes blinked and said: "My lord, if the enemy army wins a big victory, it will be a matter of time before we do, after all, no one is happy that there is a thorn in their back road here, and it must be pulled out quickly." ” Zhang Yu already had this answer, but he didn't want to believe it.
He said dejectedly: "That's it, the city wall will be strengthened again tomorrow morning, and how long it can last depends on our creation." ” The enemy is outnumbered, and there is no need for stratagem or anything.
And in Lin San's house in the city, Tang Sai'er was sharpening his knife, and Lin San was angry on the side.
After testing the blade with his hand, Tang Sai'er said: "Husband, the enemy army went and did not return, and the reinforcements were not used, so we have to work hard." ” Lin San said angrily: "Desperately have me, but it is not your turn to be a woman." ” Tang Sai'er looked back and smiled, "Husband, if the city is broken, the woman's family will suffer the most, so when the time comes, let's fight and kill one more." ” Lin San muttered, "Maybe they will be defeated." ” Tang Sai'er walked over, squatted in front of him, and said seriously: "Husband, it's impossible, if they are defeated, the city gate has already been opened at this moment, and chickens and sheep are being slaughtered in the city to reward reinforcements." ” Lin San only felt his heart numb, and nodded indiscriminately: "I know, I know, it's just..."
"Husband, it's nothing, this is our fate." …… Before dawn, Li Jia was awakened by a nightmare, in which the demons were frantically biting him, trying to pull him into the boundless abyss.
Walking out of the tent with a cold sweat, the wind blew, Li Jia shivered, and then felt a little cloudy in his head.
"Ahh A sneeze was hearty, and when he looked up, he found that there were people around him, looking at him silently.
Fang Xing frowned and said: "In order not to alarm the enemy, let's eat cold, there is no ginger soup, you go and run around until you sweat." ” After going up and down the mountain a few times, Li Jia felt a fever in his body, and then it stopped.
Everyone was eating dry food in silence, and seeing that Li Jia had no appetite, Fang San said: "Hurry up and eat, eat this meal, I don't know when the next meal will come, maybe I will have to eat it underground." ” Li Jia was panicked, took a bite of the dry and hard dough, and didn't know the taste.
A quarter of an hour later, the back of the hill was full of people and vehicles, and everyone went to help, silently pushing the baggage up.
"An hour to rest for a stick of incense."
When the order was given, Li Jia sat down on the ground gasping, suddenly felt very hungry, and took out dry cakes to nibble.
Fang Wu and the knife were gone, and so were the scouts of the hundred households.
Fang Xing and Zhu Zhanji stood on the top of the mountain and looked down, there was a fire in the distance, which was the position of the camp gate after the enemy army set up camp.
"Knives, can they pull out the enemy's outposts?"
After camping, the open and dark sentinels must be arranged, as well as the rangers.
Fang Xing nodded and said, "It should be no problem, at least it can win us half an hour's effort." ” "Half an hour is enough for us to approach the enemy's camp, I'm afraid that a sneak attack will not be possible, but it is okay to attack the enemy unprepared."
Zhu Zhanji turned sideways and said: "Brother Dehua, I'm afraid the enemy army is going to surround and cut it." ” Fang Xing said: "It depends on whether they have the ability to do it." ” At this time, there were tiny red dots in the distance that lit up three times for this side, Fang Xing patted Zhu Zhanji's shoulder and said: "I wanted to leave you behind, but I retreated once, retreated again and again, if there is an accident, let's go underground and get together again." ” Zhu Zhanji nodded, turned back to Jia Quan and said, "If I am captured, remember to release the arrows!"
” The imperial grandson of the Ming Dynasty could not be a prisoner, and no one would object to this.
Jia Quan nodded with difficulty, today he will lead the guards to protect Zhu Zhanji.
He knew that the road would not be easy, either he would be crushed or cut apart, and finally the whole army would be annihilated.
Therefore, Jia Quan didn't understand the reason why Fang Xing had to go to the rescue of Xinghe Fort, where there were only a few thousand people and more than a thousand soldiers, and in his opinion, it was not the same order of magnitude as Zhu Zhanji.
"If we can leave most of the Arutai centaurs, the north will be quiet, and Daming will turn from defense to attack, for this goal, we are worth the risk!"
Fang Xing muttered, and then waved his hand violently.
Sun Yue went out first, he led the horse and slowly walked down the hillside, with cavalry behind him.
Then Jubaoshan Wei went down, followed by artillery and baggage.
The people were very nervous, dragging the ropes, and slowly sliding down with the gun truck.
When they got down the mountain, the knife greeted him.
"Master, more than thirty people have been cleared, and a few waves of rangers have just passed."
Fang Xing nodded and said, "Don't worry about it, I'll clean them up when I turn around." ” Turning around, Fang Xing beckoned: "The artillery is following, let's go and wake up Arutai." ”
