The march of McLigan to the south was under the watchful eye of the rangers, and it was not until the morning of the 28th that his cavalry reached the west of Mount Kadang.

At this time, the east and south sides of the Xining army Kadang City only built a stone wall three or four feet high, but it didn't matter, if Meligan wanted to attack the city, there was only one road in the west, and the west wall was the key to the road, strictly blocking the progress of the Mongols.

Even if the merchants and pedestrians passed, they had to pass through the city gates and pass through the city, not to mention a large number of cavalry!

Looking at the dust raised by the Mongolian cavalry in the distance, the gunners on the city suddenly became nervous, and the soldiers of the 500th household, almost all of them were new recruits, appeared on the battlefield for the first time, facing the powerful Mongolian cavalry.

In the battle of Triangle City, more than half of the 500 households were killed and wounded, and after two expansions, the original veterans are now almost all officers at all levels, but the soldiers are still new recruits, and they only have a few months of training.

Li Zicheng first set up the telescope, raised his eyes to see that the Mongolian cavalry had just seen some figures, he smiled contemptuously, handed the telescope to He Xiaomi, and said, "Keep an eye on the Mongols, and report the situation at any time!" "But let the soldiers pass the order, and give a day off to all the auxiliaries and Hui people who participated in the construction of the city, and everyone who is willing to go to the city to watch the battle.

Tian Tianhao originally wanted to go to the city to watch the battle, but now he is quite free, as long as he does not do anything to destroy the city defense, Li Zicheng basically does not interfere and lets him wander around.

But he gave up, and when he was in Haomen, he had seen the arrows of the Mongols, which covered the sky and the sun and were so swift and swift that they were more terrible than Allah's wrath, and at last he found a huge bluestone a hundred paces away from the city, and leaned on it and squinted and pretended to sleep, while secretly observing the movement on the city.

A distance of a hundred paces, absolutely beyond the range of the Mongols' bows and arrows, he was absolutely safe.

Outside the city, Mai Ligan had been marching in a hurry for three days, but the dust covering the sky and the fatigue of the march did not completely eliminate his anger, and the Han Chinese, who had always been weak and almost as ravaged by the Mongols, dared to sneak attack his tribe, and slaughtered them all, how could he swallow this breath?

If you don't crush the bones of these bold Han people, how will you convince the public in the future?

The Han people were born to provide food and women for the Mongols, when did they dare to go deep into the hinterland of the steppe? Could it be that they were just as good at riding and archery as the Mongols?

He looked at the centurion beside him, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Found the traces of the Han people?" ”

The Mongolian cavalry went out to fight, always concentrated in one place, no skills, no need for rangers, the competition is strength, more people are better than few, brave is better than weak.

Especially in front of the Han people, the momentum of the cavalry when they charge can frighten them into urine, and they are waiting to be slaughtered like sheep.

He only has five or six hundred cavalry, and the momentum of Genghis Khan's sweeping Central Plains era can not be compared, but in front of the Han people, the number does not matter, the cavalry only has one tactic, first shoot arrows from a distance, and when it is close, it is a sprint, even if the war is unfavorable, the Mongolian cavalry can also take advantage of the speed advantage of the war horse and calmly withdraw from the battlefield,

Of course, the tactic of retreat is to face the cavalry of other tribes who are also Mongolian brothers, in front of the Han people, the Mongols do not need the word "retreat" in their minds, unless the Hongwu and Yongle of the Ming Dynasty are reborn, but unfortunately this is impossible, despicable Han people, you just wait to be stabbed, if you dare to resist, then the Mongol warriors will cut you thousands of knives, and the corpses will be decomposed and fed to the wolves, so that you will never be able to live forever!

Eternal God willing, we have come to avenge our brother!

"King Khan, there is a trace in front, there are blood stains on the ground, Mongolian women's clothes, and a large number of messy cattle and sheep footprints!"

"The Han people are in front, with cattle and sheep, they must not be able to run fast, hurry up, let these Han people go to our immortal heaven to atone for their sins earlier!" McLigan whipped the horse's buttocks so hard that the big black horse was in pain, opened all four hooves, and rushed forward with all his might.

But this was not a steppe, and the uneven hills at the foot of the mountain still limited the speed of the cavalry, at least much slower than McLigan's psychological expectations.

Mai Li cursed in his heart, if this was in the Monan grassland, Lao Tzu would have screwed off the heads of the Han people as urinals, if there were Han women for the brothers to enjoy, it would not be in vain for them to work hard for three days, and they could also increase the population of Mongolia......

As soon as he turned a mountain pass in front of him, the soldiers in front flew up and reported: "King Khan, there is a stone wall in front of you, and there are many people on it, it is likely to be Han Chinese!" ”

"Stonewall? Where did the stone walls come from? McLigan slowed his horse, put his hands together, and looked forward in the direction of the soldier's finger, but the front was vague and could not see anything clearly, "Go, go ahead!" ”

The big black horse was whipped again for no reason, and the speed of Mai Ligan was added, and the whole cavalry was shocked and tightly guarded around him, there may be Han people here, and he must be careful to protect the safety of the Khan King.

Approaching the Chauna River, Mai Ligan finally saw clearly, there was indeed a stone wall in front of him, when the road was standing, just stuck in the passage to the south, when the herdsmen returned last winter, this stone wall had not yet been discovered, could it be newly built?

With this stone wall, the Mongol herdsman could no longer go south to the Banshan Mountains unless he could take the wall and tear it down.

Sure enough, there was a figure shaking on the wall, and even pointed at him, obviously a Han Chinese, "They killed our herdsmen?" ”

"It should be them, King Khan, but there is no trace of the Han people, and the footprints of the cattle have also disappeared behind this stone wall!"

"The cunning Han people actually took advantage of our winter break to set up a stone wall here!" Melikan didn't see these Han people kill his subordinates with his own eyes, and his subordinates didn't see it, but what does it matter, there are Han people here, who else can there be besides them for this kind of cruel thing?

Besides, the subordinates also said that it is estimated that these Han people did it, so that's right, the timid Han people have always been cunning and abnormal, and they will only play some shady things.

Because the way was blocked by the river, Mai Ligan had to get off the horse, but his eyes kept on the stone wall in front of him, and he scolded: "Lao Tzu will break this stone wall in a while, and see if you can hide in the turtle shell!" ”

He took a few steps forward and came to the Chauna River, where the original two pontoon bridges on the river were now gone, and must have been demolished by the Han Chinese.

However, this did not bother the clever Mongols, and the width of the river was no more than eighty paces, and it was not difficult to build a pontoon bridge.

McLigan took out a bag of mare's milk wine from his horse, and a piece of beef jerky, and sat down on a raised stone to eat and drink, but it was a herald that the soldiers were ordered to go to the nearby hill to cut down trees and immediately build a pontoon bridge.

On the west side of Kadang City, Li Zicheng raised his eyes to look at the sky, the sun was close to the middle of the sky, it should be time, he said to Zhou Bin: "The Mongols are building a pontoon bridge, at most an hour, they will cross the Cha Na River, let the soldiers have lunch first, in case Mai Ligan goes crazy, the siege will start today, the brothers don't have time to eat!" ”

"Yes, sir!" Zhou Bin immediately went to give the order, but it was not a meal at this time, and the firefighters had not yet prepared lunch, so the soldiers had to eat some dry food with water, so as to fill their bellies first.

Sure enough, in less than an hour, the Mongols built two pontoon bridges over the Chauna River, and the cavalry in front immediately began to cross the river.

Li Zicheng saw that the soldiers were too nervous and stiff, so he didn't use the aim of the rifle, so he smiled and said, "Brothers, do you see the Mongol who is getting on the horse?" ”

"See, my lord, let's shoot him first?"

The soldiers began to aim with their rifles, although the range of the rifles was simply out of reach at a distance of two miles, but they had to prepare early, and the person that the adults fancied, could they let him slip away?

Some people are still looking forward to marrying their mother-in-law with the military merit reward silver issued by adults, and those who have already married their mother-in-law hope that adults will send a few more monthly tickets for military exploits, preferably in Kadang City, these Mongolian women, idle are also idle, but also consume the precious food of the Xining army, they have to make some contributions to the Xining army, as adults often say, "waste utilization"!

"He should be the leader of the Mongols, Meligan!" In fact, Li Zicheng also "only heard of his name, but never met", and the majesty he exuded from the Mongol, as well as the attitude of the guards around him, reluctantly believed that he was Mai Ligan.

"My lord, I've already taken aim, as long as he dares to get close to the city wall, a bullet will definitely turn his brain into water tofu!"

"I'm aiming at his throat and seeing how the rifle is on target."

"Don't rob, don't rob, Meligan is mine, I have already aimed at his heart, I don't know if the blood of the Mongols is red."

……

Looking at the scrambling soldiers, Li Zicheng smiled in his heart, as long as the soldiers had a place to belong, they would temporarily forget their fears, so that they could bring out the level of their daily drills on the battlefield.

However, this time, Li Zicheng didn't plan to take out the extra reward, so he smiled faintly and said, "Brothers, Mai Li Gan is our old friend, don't hurt him!" ”

"Huh?" The soldiers suddenly opened their mouths wide, and they couldn't close for a while, even Zhou Bin was puzzled, the thief captured the king first, as long as Mai Ligan died, the Mongols didn't spread out like birds and beasts? Such a Mongolian cavalry still has combat effectiveness?

It is a miracle that Kadang City, which has only one wall, can stop the cavalry of the Mongols!

"Brothers," Li Zicheng tried his best to hold back a smile, looking at the Mongolian cavalry who were crossing the river quickly, but said faintly: "When you don't know the slightest about the enemy's situation, you can easily cross the Cha Na River and put the whole army in an extremely dangerous situation, do you like this kind of Mailigan?" ”

"I like it!" Someone said loudly, lest Li Zicheng couldn't hear it, and added: "I just like a fool like Mai Ligan!" ”

"Nonsense, without this stupid McLigan, how can we have military merit?"

"How could the Mongols have such stupid commanders?"

……

Li Zicheng stretched out his hand and pressed it, making the soldiers quiet for a while, and said, "If Mai Li dies, the Mongols will definitely elect a new leader, how can we encounter such a stupid opponent again?" Even if the brothers want to make meritorious contributions, I'm afraid it will be more difficult! ”

If Liu Yunshui was here, he must have felt that the adult's speech was so similar to the evaluation of Bayar when he played against Triangle City!

Zhou Bin was the protagonist of the defense of the Triangle City that day, but when Li Zicheng said this, he was still treating the wounded soldiers in the city, so he didn't know, but today after listening to the adult's high opinion, he nodded silently, but said in his heart: "The commander of the Mongols is really stupid!" ”

Li Zicheng also has a meaning, once Mailigan is killed or wounded, the Mongolian cavalry will be leaderless, and they will scatter and run in all directions, and it is difficult to gather and annihilate in such a mountainous situation.

Killing and wounding the Mongol cavalry as much as possible and ensuring the safety of Kadang City in the future is his primary goal.
