Chapter 93: Fighting
Jia Ke hid in a sheltered place on the city wall and lay down until early in the morning, when he was called up by his own soldiers.
After Jia Ke got up, he touched his face with his hand to sober himself up. After walking to the city wall, look out.
I saw that outside the city wall, there were already camps connected to camps, and tents were connected to tents. Outside the camp tent, the deep ditch is high, and the defense is tight, now that I think about it, fortunately I didn't rashly attack yesterday, otherwise I am afraid I will not be able to please him.
However, looking at the Tatar camp style, it is still relatively primitive, perhaps because they are all cavalry, so they do not pay attention to civil fortifications, this is due to the Tatar material is relatively scarce, if it is a sneak attack, you can still find flaws.
When Jia Ke was watching from the city tower, Feng Mo and Huang Baifeng also came to the city tower to report to him the preparations last night.
Huang Baifeng first reported to Jia Keyu: "My lord, I have gathered all the young men of Kaipingwei last night. These young men have all undergone some military training. When necessary, you can go up to the city to help defend it. ”
Jia Ke nodded, and said to Huang Baifeng with a serious expression: "How is the preparation of the Rolling Wood Thunder Stone?" ”
Huang Baifeng replied: "The preparation of the Rolling Wood Thunder Stone is quite sufficient, I also confirmed with Chen Xichen just now, and said that there is no problem in guarding him for ten days and half a month." ”
"We can't be careless, we will demolish the house when necessary, we would rather demolish the house, and we can't lose Kaipingwei if we rebuild in the future." Jia Ke said with a solemn expression.
"My lord, I know, you can rest assured that the house will be demolished when the time comes, and my house will be demolished first." Huang Baifeng said firmly.
Feng Mo saw that after they finished speaking, he also came over to report to Jia Ke: "My lord, all the soldiers of Kaipingwei have been assembled. The infantry had all gone up to the city, some of them were ready to defend the city at the front, and the other were resting in the rear, taking over the first part if necessary. All the cavalry, except for Zheng Kai's department, were assembled at the city gate. Always at your disposal. ”
"You have done a good job, the current situation is like this, the enemy is outnumbered, I am afraid it will be difficult to defend the city, so I will lead the cavalry out of the city to challenge in a while, one is to frustrate the enemy's spirit, and the other is also to delay time, so that the festival will make the lord come to help." Jia Ke told them about his battle plan.
While they were talking, Wu Li also came up to the city and happened to hear Jia Ke's battle plan. immediately stepped forward to object: "Jia Qianhu must not be like this, you are the chief general of the whole army, once there is any damage, I am afraid that Kaiping Wei will not be able to protect it, it is better to defend it and wait for the rescue of the Jiedu envoy." ”
When Jia Ke saw Wu Li coming up, he hurriedly took him to his side, and then pointed to the outside of the city and said to him: "My lord, please look, this camp outside the city is a few miles away. I am afraid that there are at least fifty or sixty thousand horses, and although the Tatars are not good at attacking cities, the difference in numbers between us and the enemy is too great. If we concentrate on defending the city, I am afraid that it will not be long before our men and horses will be exhausted. Therefore, in order to delay time by all means, I went out of the city to challenge, and with the character of the Tatars, I must fight. At least one day will buy us a day. I wonder what adults think? ”
Wu Li looked outside the city, only to see the camp outside the city covering the sky and the sun, among which the men and horses shuttled back and forth, heavily guarded, Wu Li also had been on the battlefield with the Jiedu envoy, seeing the momentum of the Tatars, and then thinking about the thousands of people and horses on their side, thinking about Jia Ke's method, it is already the best way that can be taken at present.
Wu Li doesn't look serious on the surface, but he is actually a man of temperament. He didn't know that Jia Ke could do martial arts, and when he saw that there was no other way, Jia Ke was going to venture out of the city to challenge, and he couldn't help but feel a sour feeling in his heart, just afraid that he would be more than lucky if he went. So, he clenched his fists and said to Jia Ke: "Jia Qianhu is loyal to the country and does not avoid hardships and dangers, Wu admires." If there was anything offended, Jia Qianhu hoped to forgive his sins. Wu was really convinced of Jia Qianhu. ”
Jia Ke also bowed his hand to Wu Li and said: "Master Wu also serves the country, shares worries for the saints, and does everything within his bounds, where is there anything to offend." Master Wu doesn't have to take it to heart. ”
After Jia Ke and Wu Li finished explaining, they turned to Huang Baifeng and Feng Mo and said, "After I leave the city, you two are responsible for guarding the city. Don't be negligent, if you encounter something that can't be decided, discuss it with Master Wu, he has followed the Jiedu envoy for many years and has rich experience, and he will definitely give you advice when the time comes. ”
Feng Mo and Huang Baifeng gave up their hands together, looking at Jia Ke's face with reluctance, they knew that this challenge was different from the last time. Last time, the enemy army was only five or six thousand, but this time there were fifty or sixty thousand, and there must be a large number of masters among them. Jia Ke is taking a big risk to challenge now, Jia Ke looked at their expressions, couldn't help laughing, and said to them: "You don't have to worry about me, these Tatars look brave, but I will make it a mustard, wait for me to fight for a while, let him know the strength of the heroes of the Central Plains." ”
After Jia Ke gave them instructions, he ordered someone to prepare a meal for all the soldiers to feast on the war meal, and Jia Ke himself did not return to the Qianhu Mansion, so he dined with the soldiers. In the face of the upcoming war, Jia Ke because he had the bottom in his heart, so he talked and laughed with the soldiers while eating, and his face was not afraid.
After a full meal, Jia Ke took a white robe from his own soldiers, and put it on his body, he had always envied those white-robed generals in the original time and space, so after arriving at Kaipingwei, he also made a white robe for himself, and fought in a white robe every time he went out to fight.
Jia Ke was dressed in a white robe, and then went directly to the city and came to the city gate. There were already five hundred cavalry waiting there, and these five hundred men saw a fanatical light in their eyes. The soldiers of Kaipingwei, since the last time Jia Ke led the people to defeat the Tatars, and worshipped him, so now they feel very honored to be able to fight with him.
Jia Ke didn't say anything, took the reins of the fire dragon horse from his own soldiers, turned over on his horse, carried Fang Tian's halberd, ordered someone to open the city gate, and galloped out with five hundred cavalry.
Jia Ke led the men and horses out of the city gate, came to the Tatar village, and restrained the horse's head. Like the Tatars, they shouted: "I am Kaiping Wei Qianhu Jia Ke, you Tatars, who dares to fight me to the death?" The cavalry behind Jack also shouted and cursed.
The Tatar soldiers in the walled gate heard Jia Ke shouting and scolding and fighting, and hurriedly reported to Arslen Khan.
At this time, Arslen Khan was in the king's tent, and the same tribal leader was eating roasted lamb chops while discussing today's war.
Suddenly, I heard a report from a spy: "Kaiping Wei Qianhu Jia Ke led the iron to ride down the pass, scolded and fought before coming to the village, please make a decision." ”
When Arslen Khan heard this, he was furious and said: "A small thousand households, I don't know how thick the sky is. The previous time was just a fluke victory, and now he dares to go out of the customs to fight, who dares to fight? Show the majesty of my Tatars. ”
Bayar of the Evenki Ministry knew that Jake had beheaded several of Sobud's generals, and now was the time to overpower Sobud. So he turned around and made a look, and the people behind him understood. So he turned out from behind him and knelt in the center to ask for battle.
Arslen Khan took a closer look, and turned out the general Tonglaga from behind Bayar, this person he knew, when the old Khan was there, he had gone to the Western Regions with the old Han king, and he had experienced military exploits, and he had fought alone against the enemy's four generals in the Western Regions without defeat, and was a famous warrior among the Tatars. Now that he is on the field, he is sure to win. So he was overjoyed and said: "If you go to war immediately, you should do your best, and you can't let go of that arrogant Jia Ke." ”
Tonglaga's face was full of lightness, and he replied casually: "Don't worry, let the Great Khan see his head when he is young." Then he went out of the tent.
