Chapter 477: Reinforcements Arrived
The Mongol army of 180,000, of which 100,000 attacked, was east, west, north, and south, and the Mongols seemed to have deliberately left the Tangut a way to live.
They didn't seem to want to do anything about it, or to leave the Mongols with a little hope of survival, so the south gate was never attacked.
At the beginning, the Tangut people were also very vigilant, thinking that this was done deliberately by the Mongols, but on the first day they were very nervous, and the Mongols did not come.
The next day, they were very nervous, and the Mongols still did not come.
On the third day, although they told themselves in their hearts that they must be careful to guard against the sneak attack of the Mongols, they were inevitably a little relaxed at this time.
The other three walls have become meat grinders for war at this time, and the war has reached a fever pitch.
"General, I heard that the defenders of the other three walls have not closed their eyes for a day and a night, and now the Mongols are still attacking." A soldier was chatting with his general.
The guard nodded, and said to the soldier, "If you are not assigned to the three walls, you should be happy, otherwise it is unknown whether you will be alive or not." ”
The auditioner heard the general speak, and hurriedly said flatteringly: "That's natural, follow the general, it must be a great blessing." ”
The guard was very satisfied with what the soldier said, he nodded, and said to the soldier: "Watch carefully, don't wait for anyone to come, but you won't find out." ”
"Will the Mongols attack from this side?" The soldier couldn't help but ask in surprise when he heard what the guard said.
"Who knows? But in the current situation, the other three walls are under siege, and we may be besieged at any time. The guard said worriedly.
"General, do you think we can resist the Mongol attack this time?"
The soldier also said with some embarrassment.
The Keeper pointed to the sky.
"Heaven will bless us?" The soldier asked, confused.
"I mean, leave it to fate!" The guard rolled his eyes and said, when will the heavens bless the weak?
The soldier's face was embarrassed, and at this moment, the ground in the south suddenly began to shake violently, and it seemed that thousands of troops and horses were rushing from far and near.
The soldiers' relaxed mood immediately became tense, and they rubbed their eyes vigorously, only to see that smoke and dust began to rise in the distance to the south, covering the sky.
"General, no...... It can't be the Mongols, right? The soldier stammered, just now the two of them were discussing this issue, could it be that people came over in the blink of an eye?
The guard had a serious face, although he didn't want to admit it, but at this time, it seemed that it could only be this possibility.
"Pass my military orders, let the brothers be careful, there is an enemy coming!" The general gave the order.
The defenders of the southern city wall, who had been lazy for two days, were extremely nervous at this time, and they held the spears in their hands tightly, staring nervously at the invading enemy in front of them.
Nearer, closer, they came far away.
The soldier stared intently at the army that came in the distance in front of him, nervous to the extreme. "Will ...... General, looking at the number of people, it seems that there must be no less than 50,000 people? ”
The number of people who did it was more than 10,000, overwhelming, and now more than 50,000 people swept in, and the momentum was really huge, and the entire open space in the south seemed to be densely packed with people.
The general guarding the city nodded, to be honest, he had never commanded so many people to fight, Xingqing Mansion had not suffered the baptism of war, these soldiers were all old soldiers, and their combat effectiveness was really average.
"All archers are ready, listen to my orders in a moment, and I'll let the arrows be released when the time comes!" The guard gave the order with some nervousness.
This was true of the generals, and even more so of the soldiers below, whose fingers were white because of the force on which they held their bows and arrows.
Near, more than 50,000 people ran at the same time, and the momentum was still very huge, and the whole earth was trembling.
Li Gu soon got the news from the southern city wall, although he had long expected such a result, but now that it really appeared, he was still a little at a loss, not because he was nervous, but because he really didn't have any soldiers in his hands.
Now these three walls have exhausted him, and if he adds another wall, he is really lacking.
"Let Zhu Jie deal with me carefully, if you lose the city gate to me, let him come to see me with his head!" Li Gu ordered.
Soon, the army was already in the city.
"Will ...... General, it seems to be his own people! The soldier said to his guard.
The guards naturally saw this situation as well, and after getting closer, they found out that these people were wearing the clothes of the Tangut people.
"Could it be...... Could it be that reinforcements have arrived? The general asked, a little puzzled.
But at this time no one could answer him, and he hurriedly ordered: "Everyone, stop shooting, as if it were your own people." ”
"General, there won't be a fraud, right?" The adjutant general whispered to Zhu Jie.
Zhu Jie was also a little worried, but there was no way, at this time he could only put these people in front of him to confirm.
When the army came near, the leading general reined in the rope of his horse and shouted at the top of the wall: "Open the gates." ”
Zhu Jie looked at the people under the city and shouted, "Who are you?" ”
"I am the general Gonghe under the Yannan Jiedu, and I was ordered to come to King Qin!" The people under the city shouted loudly at Zhu Jie.
"Miyaai?" Zhu Jie didn't know who Gong He was, he was just a small defender, and he didn't know that Gong He was such a number one person, he turned his head and asked, "Yan Nan Jie Du Envoy?" But have you ever heard of this person? ”
The deputy general said with a wry smile: "The envoy of Yannan Jiedu has heard of it, but Gong He has never heard of it. ”
Zhu Jie frowned and said, "Hurry up and inform Your Majesty, just say that there is a Yannan Jiedu envoy Gonghe who has come to the rescue with troops, please ask Your Majesty if you can open the city gate." ”。
The herald hurriedly went to announce, but the south gate and the north gate are far apart, and it takes time to come and go, plus Li Gu doesn't know the situation here at all, as for this person in Gonghe, he doesn't know, when he heard the herald's words, he also frowned, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
It would be nice if it was really reinforcements, after all, he only had 40,000 people in his hands now, and he would soon be unable to hold it, and these 50,000 people were definitely timely rain.
