For half a month, the Warat army will slap the city of Culomb again and again like a terrifying tide, but the towering walls of Culomb City have been blocked again and again. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The walls of Coulomb had been soaked in blood and turned dark brown, and the bright red blood on the walls was wet and dry, dry and wet, and the army of Warat would leave corpses everywhere each time.

The Great Khan of Warat Harakhura had been planning for this battle for several years, and found that the Ming army in the city was not as vulnerable as the intelligence said, they were like old farmers busy with the autumn harvest, hiding in the strong fortress, skillfully cutting the lives of the unscrupulous harvesters with muskets, and shelling them several times from time to time.

However, the Varat army was helpless, because the invincible siege artillery in their hands would be fired back and wound their own soldiers as soon as they hit the strong walls of Cullen.

At present, the city of Kulun has a population of more than 80,000 and more than 10,000 garrisons, and even if it is closed, the grain and grass in the city will be enough for the people and soldiers in the city to eat for a year and a half.

This is all because of the phobia of insufficient food and grass and the phobia of insufficient firepower left behind by the first station with Huang Taiji, and almost every city in Daning has a rich reserve of food and ammunition.

The Ming army defending the city was simply a group of warmongers, and after a few days of fighting, they felt that the Wara soldiers were just like that, and they did not have three heads and six arms, and they were knocked down with one shot.

High morale is a good thing, Zhang Debiao discussed with Liu Wenxiu, and worked out the tactics of attacking and harassing, dividing the Ming army in the city into five brigades, two teams raiding every night, and three teams stationed in the city to prevent Wara from counterattacking.

Since then, the battlefield belongs to the Warat people during the day, but at night it becomes the world of the Ming army.

Every battle is indispensable to the soldiers of the General Staff, who are elusive under the leadership of General Cao Bingzhang. The first sneak attack took advantage of the wind and the flammability of kerosene to set fire to the Warat people, burning down one-third of the enemy's camp tents.

If the army of Warat is compared to an elephant, then this wonder army is a group of small mosquitoes buzzing in his ears. Although it will not kill the elephant for a while, it will disturb its sleep and food.

During the day, if the Warat army did not attack the city, the Ming army in the city would greet them with cold guns and cannons. It's annoying to make them so much that it's almost overwhelmed.

As a result of the continuous lack of sleep, some of the soldiers in the Warat army had begun to experience visual and auditory hallucinations. Now even a fool can see that if it drags on like this, the Warats themselves will collapse from the inside without the Ming army attacking them.

Disguise is the basic skill of the spies of the General Staff, and dozens of people are mixed in the many Warat army, which is simply a drop of water into the sea, not to mention that the people selected by Liu Wenxiu to carry out the task are all elite soldiers of the Mongolian nationality, and it took them less than five days to get a clear picture of the camp tents of the important officers of the Warat.

At the same time, they also drew a red dot the size of a little thumb in the lower right corner of the tent, which would not have been noticeable if you didn't look at it.

Zhang Debiao and Liu Wenxiu had already judged the trend of the retreat and transfer of the Warat people, looking at the map that the spies in their hands had worked so hard to get, the two looked at each other and smiled, closed the door and discussed secretly for a long time, and they decided to give the Warat people a parting gift tonight.

Liu Wenxiu had planned a decapitation operation when he attacked Horqin Mongolia, and now he is familiar with the road, and it didn't take long to arrange the weapons and manpower.

At midnight, it was the dead of night, and the Ming army did not come to harass it in the past two days. The Warat soldiers in charge of the guard were a group of inferior soldiers who had been temporarily conscripted to be no better than slaves, and they were already exhausted when they were attacking the city during the day, and they had to be sentry at night.

Seeing that the Ming army had not come to steal the camp at this hour, they gathered together, leaned against the warm fire with their respective weapons and dozed tiredly.

They were so tired that there was a slight snoring that was contagious, and in a moment the group fell asleep.

Waiting for this opportunity, and then under the cover of night, a group of Ming troops in black night clothes broke into the company camp of the Warat people like raccoon cats.

Under the leadership of the spies, the more than 1,000 Ming troops found a puff of smoke as long as they found red dots on the door curtain, and then quietly wiped out everyone in the camp.

If it weren't for the fact that one of the Warat soldiers happened to get up at night and caused the Ming army's deeds to be exposed, it is estimated that the Ming army would be able to name all the Warat officers overnight according to the red dot on the door curtain. Rao was so, and the Warats also lost more than a thousand middle and high-ranking officers.

The howl of the alarm resounded through the company camp, and the sleeping Warat soldiers hurriedly came out of the camp tents, and the camp tents were lit up like orange lanterns.

Hara was so angry that he hacked to death the soldiers who reported their losses, and he didn't expect that thousands of Ming troops would dare to come out and rob the camp, and they were almost killed under his tent. If it weren't for the vigilance of his own soldiers, his head would probably have moved like those generals.

The lights were burning in the big tent of Harahura, and the remaining twelve generals gathered in his big tent, took a look at the soldiers who had died tragically, and continued to talk for a while.

A frightened general of the Dulbert Department walked around in the big tent of Harahura in a panic, and said in a confused voice: "More than a thousand officers, oh my God, crazy people, all crazy people, the city is definitely not the Ming army, they are the masters who were beaten all over the ground by us when they were in the Tumu Fort, and the Han people are not so brave and ruthless!" ”

Harahura glared at General Warat fiercely with eyes as sharp as goshawks, inserted the bloody sword into the scabbard, and said indignantly: "You cowards, give me a moment of silence. We are the pride of heaven on the grassland, and the Han people were our lowly slaves during the Great Yuan Dynasty, how could you be scared like this by a group of slaves! ”

The strength of the Warat and Shute tribes was second only to the Dzungar tribe where Harakhura was located, and one of the older generals of the Heshute tribe stood up from the crowd with a look of displeasure, but despite this, he bowed to Harakura, "Great Khan, I don't agree with your point of view. It was the war we provoked, and I personally insisted that our threat was the Rakshasa people, who repeatedly provoked conflicts from the Tarbagatai region in the northeast of the Kazakh steppe, intending to occupy our land, and the Ming people were not our threat. ”

"Yes, our threat is the Rakshasas and the Kazakhs. We should devote our main energy to dealing with the Rakshasas and Kazakhs, instead of traveling thousands of miles to attack such a broken city, the Kazakh steppe and the Tianshan steppe are rich in water and grass, where is the foundation of our Warat. And to attack such a ruined city, we have nothing but corpses, not even a trace of wealth. "A general from the Dulbert department stood up from the crowd and spoke his opinion on behalf of his tribe.

Halahura's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and said: "You all shut up for me, when you said that you were going to go to war, you all raised your hands in favor of it, did you forget how proud you were so quickly?" ”

The ten generals present were all silent, and the power of their three divisions had not yet reached the point of leaving the khan to the left.

Although Harakula is the Great Khan, he is also afraid of the tribal forces behind the generals, and this time he is fighting the idea of weakening their forces and consolidating the power of the Khan, otherwise if this momentum continues, Vara will have to follow in the footsteps of Southern Mongolia sooner or later, so he is not distressed at all when he dies so many officers and soldiers, but feels that he has died a little less.

Seeing that everyone was silent at this critical juncture, the general of the Heshuo Special Department sighed, for the benefit of his own clan, he had to stand up, and said slowly: "Great Khan, we are not acting in small groups like before, we can grab wherever we go, and the supply of materials is not a problem at all, it is a big deal that we will kill horses and satisfy hunger." But now it is an army of 50,000 people, and after removing the soldiers who died on the battlefield, there are now more than 40,000 troops. The problem of supplying tens of thousands of troops is now imminent and is a problem we must face. ”

This problem is the weakness of Harahura, the area of the city of Coulomb is now fortified, almost all the materials that can be used are concentrated in the city of Coulomb, and they have not found a single sheep or grain outside the city. The vast prairie does not starve horses, but it also does not grow food.

Compared with the lives of the soldiers, Harahura is more concerned about his khan position, and the people of the Heshute department, the Dulbert department and the Turghut department are not in trouble now because they have not returned to their respective nests, if they go back like this, his khan position will not be guaranteed, "The city of Kulun cannot be attacked for a long time, and the Ming army in the city refuses to meet the battle due to danger, and the longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable it is for the Warat people." I know this, but we can't go back empty-handed, how can we explain this to the families of the dead soldiers? ”

The ten generals saw that Hara Khu was clearly using the position of the Great Khan to cheat, and it was their tribe that died emotionally, and his strength was getting stronger and stronger, but their strength was gradually losing, and once the balance of power was completely broken, they no longer had the possibility of balancing Harahura.

They all blushed, you look at me, I look at you, and they all focused on the strongest general of the Heshute Division.

Seeing that Harakhura refused to give in, the general of the Heshute Department forced him to ask, "Is there any better idea for the Great Khan?" ”

Hara Hura was waiting for this sentence, and sneered: "Things have come to such a field, you can't go back empty-handed!" I decided to try my luck in the hinterland of Daning, I don't believe that every city in Daning, a small city in Daming, is such a strange, sturdy and tall city. ”

After Hara Hura finished speaking, he coughed, and more than fifty soldiers who had been waiting outside the tent for a long time poured into the tent with a hula, drew the steel knives in their hands and glared at the other three generals present with murderous anger.

The generals of the Dzungar tribe hurriedly stood up and expressed their support for the "wise" decision of Harakura, and they had little to lose so far. If the results are achieved, the Dzungar Department will take the lion's share, and if they can't achieve any results, the other three departments will die much more than them, and they will not be able to find the slightest reason to oppose it.

Hara raised his eyebrows, laughed cruelly, and said in a strange manner: "There are already four generals who agree with this trip, what's the matter, do you still have any opinions?" ”

This is not a discussion at all, the other three generals looked at the posture, and whoever objected would be chopped into meat sauce on the spot, and forced by the situation, hurriedly expressed their approval of the Eastern Crusade.

At dawn, Zhang Debiao stood in the outer city of Kulun City and looked at the Vara army that was retreating towards the hinterland of Daning, pursed his lips, and couldn't help cursing: "Attack the city with cavalry, stupid ×." However, more than tens of thousands of people went to plague the hinterland of Daning, which was enough for them to drink a pot. ”

Liu Wenxiu patted him lightly on the shoulder, and said with a solemn expression: "According to the speed of Lord Guan's march, it won't be long before the two armies meet." Brother Zhang, we have done our best, and all we can do now is to pray for them. ”

Who knew that Zhang Debiao shook his head, grinned and said: "No, no, no, Mr. Wen Fu, you misunderstood, what I said is enough for the Warat people to drink a pot, Master Guan is a goose plucker, you don't see the Pixiu army that doesn't take advantage or suffers, haha!" ”
