Chapter 60: Bahan Naji

Outside the precipitous Huyu Pass, the whistling north wind mixed with snowflakes permeated the sky, and the white camp tents five miles away from the pass are connected.

The blood stains on the city wall of Huyukou are mottled, and the snow in front of the city is also faintly revealing a touch of blood red, which are left behind by the forced siege of the city by the Mongolian soldiers in the past few days, including Mongolian warriors and Han soldiers.

Although the Mongol Tartars have not been able to advance by virtue of the strength of the city wall for ten days, the defenders in the city have suffered a lot of casualties, and the current loss of troops has exceeded forty percent and nearly 2,000 people.

There are less than 3,000 guards at Huyukou. Although he has the advantage of the city wall, but in the face of the 30,000 Mongolian elites like wolves and tigers, Tang Zhenhu, as a defender, knows that this is not a long-term solution, after all, there are too few soldiers and horses available at hand, in case the weather improves that day, I will definitely keep attacking the city, but I am afraid that it will not take a day for this tiger pass to fall into the hands of the enemy.

"My lord, those old men who live in Datong's mansion know that they use military orders to suppress us, and they don't give us a single fucking reinforcement, how can the brothers be able to defeat the 30,000 army I answered!" After reporting the number of casualties defending the city today, a member of the department couldn't help but slap the table and scold his mother.

If you want to say that there is resentment in your heart, Tang Zhenhu, who is the guard of Huyukou, is only a lot more than him, but as the main general, he can't easily complain, otherwise the hearts of the people who are already a little scattered don't want to gather, and it will definitely be even more difficult to defend Huyukou after that.

"Shut up, how do you know the detailed arrangements of the chief soldier with a small thousand households!" Tang Zhenhu glared at this general fiercely, and immediately made several other people who also wanted to complain swallow back their words.

Glancing at everyone, looking at everyone's more decadent expressions because they hadn't slept well for dozens of days, Tang Zhenhu's tone couldn't help but slow down.

"The chief soldier has an order, let me wait to defend the Huyukou for half a month, which naturally has his reason, and the Mongolian Tatars have always liked to rely on horses to attack quickly and in many ways, such a long front is open everywhere It seems that the troops are insufficient, even if the chief soldier wants to send reinforcements to us, he is powerless! Besides, you and I have the responsibility of defending the land and resisting the enemy, how can we complain about the boss and retreat when the war is not going well, if this spreads, what face do I have to meet people! ”

Tang Zhenhu's words made several generals bow their heads in shame, and the entire conference hall fell silent for a while.

After a pause, I heard Tang Zhenhu sigh slightly and said: "Don't worry too much, our Huyukou terrain is steep, I want to break through with 30,000 cavalry who are not good at attacking the city, and the location of our Huyukou is so important, the general soldier will never sit back and watch Huyukou fall into the hands of my answer, maybe the reinforcements will arrive in a few days!" ”

This is a deception that anyone can hear, but it is good to have a hope in their hearts, everyone nodded their heads in understanding, turned around and strode out, and the emotions such as worry and complaint just now disappeared in a blink of an eye.

This is also a helpless thing, I can complain in front of Lord Tang, but in the face of a large group of brothers under his hands, he can only be strong and calm, in the face of such a strong enemy, everyone is terrified, if he can no longer pretend to be confident, I am afraid that the little morale left will dissipate Bipolar Spiritual Cultivation Read in all directions.

The generals of Huyukou were worried, and the people who were camped outside the city did not get anywhere.

I am nearly seventy years old, and my figure is no longer as powerful as when I was in my prime, but my eyes are sharper, and I am still like an eagle soaring on the grassland.

It's so old. Although he has been fighting on the battlefield for a lifetime, in such a cold weather, this body is really unbearable, so I saw that I was wearing a big leather coat, sitting by the brazier while frowning and pondering countermeasures.

In the past ten days of siege, Huyukou has not been taken, and I am also anxious in my heart, and there is not much grain and grass left!

After several heavy snowfalls, all the tribes under his command suffered heavy losses, but many cattle and sheep died of starvation, and even women and children froze to death and starved to death.

At the beginning of the army, the progress was very smooth, with the speed of the cavalry proud of the four city checkpoints, but also robbed a lot of grain, grass and livestock, but for hundreds of thousands of tribes, these things are tantamount to a drop in the bucket, there is no way to completely solve the current problem, in order for the tribe to survive, can only continue to fight in this cold weather.

However, with the change of the battle situation, the invincible momentum at the beginning was helplessly stopped in front of the strong city wall of Huyukou, and after nearly ten days of strong attack, the loss of more than 2,000 warriors was still not an inch.

No matter how strong the morale is, it can't withstand the wear and tear of time, ten days have passed, and the morale of the 30,000 army is declining day by day.

Just as I was frowning and pondering how to solve the current situation, a man in a fox fur hat walked into the tent with a cold wind.

"Bahannaji, why are you back!" I replied and looked up, but it was my most important grandson, and I couldn't help but ask subconsciously.

This dispatch to the Ming Dynasty was the first time that Bahan Naji led the troops alone, and I also had the intention to train him, and directly allocated 10,000 soldiers and horses to Bahan Naji to command the battle.

Bahannaji did not disappoint him, and led 10,000 iron horsemen to brave the heavy snow and gallop all night to fight, even breaking the Xinghe and the horse drying platform, but he earned enough face for himself.

This time, he led an army of 30,000 to attack Huyukou, and he continued to take 10,000 horses to cruise around several passes near Huyukou, first, to find suitable fighters to see if they could take advantage of the void, and second, to make the Ming army not know the truth and dare not easily send troops to support Huyukou.

At this time, he suddenly appeared here, and he didn't have to guess that he knew that he had nothing to gain, otherwise this kid wouldn't have walked in so slowly, I sighed, the war is getting worse and worse, and if it drags on like this, I'm afraid that this time it will really be in vain.

Bahannaji stretched out his hand and took off his fur hat, revealing a white, tender and handsome face, only to see him pouting slightly, and said helplessly while patting the snowflakes on his body: "Grandpa, the Ming army at all passes is very well defended, and the grandson has called the battle several times and they have ignored it, and the dry food carried by the warriors has also run out, and the grandson has no way to come back!" ”

Although I had already guessed such a situation in my heart, I still couldn't help but sigh: "Since I'm back, let's rest for a few days and see if the weather can get better!" ”

Bahannaji opened his mouth, but he still didn't dare to say the words in his heart, so he had to sit on the floor by the brazier and silently roast the fiery red career.

There was silence for a while, but I answered first: "Najib, do you have any way to open a gap?" ”

Bahannaji's face was bitter: "Grandpa, you can't do anything, how can your grandson have a way!" ”

After a slight pause, Bahan Naji said cautiously: "Now there is not much grain and grass in the army, and the heavy snow covers the war horses and there is no food, so they can only rely on military food to feed, according to this, the grain and grass we have at hand will not last long at all, and my grandson thinks that it is better for us to withdraw early, so as not to wait for the Ming army reinforcements to arrive and be unable to resist!" ”

After saying this, Bahan Naji hurriedly lowered his head, grandpa has galloped all his life on the field, and he has never surrendered, and now he is saying such frustrating words, I am afraid that he will lose his temper, but the facts are in front of him, and he can't watch 50,000 warriors fall into danger.

Contrary to Bahan Najib's expectations, I replied and was not angry, but nodded and said: "What you said makes sense, according to the current situation, withdrawing from the army is our best choice, but Najib, you must know that we sent troops to fight regardless of such cold weather, not for the difference between victory and defeat, but whether hundreds of thousands of tribes can survive the current difficulties, if we withdraw now, I don't know how many people will starve to death this winter?" ”

Looking at Alta's wrinkled face, Bahan Najib's heart trembled, and he suddenly knelt down on one knee and said: "Great Khan, Naji knows, for the sake of the tribe, I will wait for death without regrets!" ”

Seeing him like this, I couldn't help but smile with relief on my originally sad face, and got up and helped Bahannaji up: "You can understand the truth of this, which means that you are already an adult!" ”

Bahan Naji smiled: "Grandpa, Najib has long been an adult, but you have always treated me as a child!" ”

"Hehe, yes, yes, grandpa's Najib is a famous warrior of the tribe, I don't know how many beautiful girls on the grassland have been overwhelmed by your heroism, go back this time, grandpa will marry you a woman!" I replied with a smile on his face, full of kindness and looked at the grandson he loved the most in front of him.

"Grandpa!" Bahan Najib's face couldn't help but turn red, and he said a little anxiously: "Najib's future wife is free to find Najib by herself, so you don't have to bother grandpa!" ”

After saying this, Bahannaji turned and slipped out, for fear that I would say something embarrassing in the next reply.

Seeing him run out, I couldn't help but laugh, and the sorrow of the past few days instantly dissipated.

For Bahan Naji, I like it from the bottom of my heart, not only because he is his grandson who is related by blood, but more importantly, Bahan Naji's wisdom is different from ordinary people.

Among the warrior-filled Mongols, the young Bahannaji can only be described as a newborn calf. Although he has the spirit of not being afraid of tigers, he looks very immature in many places, and when it comes to personal martial arts, it is even more common, and the generals under his command can clean him up if they take out any one of them.

But compared to others, the young Bahannaji is more like himself back then, full of wisdom, and for a leader, the most important thing is wisdom, if it is a brave and unscrupulous person, can only be called a tiger general, such a person in the Mongolian tribe to grasp a handful, nothing is rare.

I am getting older and older, although others have never mentioned this, but I know very well in my heart that this age is also the time to choose a successor, otherwise I will wait for the day when I suddenly go to see the Immortal Heaven, and the Tatars who have worked hard for decades to become strong will fall into misery again.

And the Bahannaji in front of him is the most suitable person in his mind, take him to experience it well in the past few years while he can still move, after all, he will become a great weapon one day, maybe after the Tatars hand it over to him, it will be even stronger than in his own hands,
