Chapter 413 Nothing is missing

On Kadang City, Li Zicheng has been smiling all the time, and it is really surprising that the glass mirror can burn down the Mongols' camp tents at such a distance.

But for the Mandate of Heaven army, it is a good thing after all, and the Mongols may withdraw if they lose these grains and grasses.

After fighting these days, the Mandate of Heaven army has been exhausted, and in the face of the most authentic Great Khan of Mongolia, Li Zicheng strongly felt for the first time that he could repel the Mongols!

A breeze blew, mixed with a strong stench, and Li Zicheng was stunned: Could it be that the charred corpses of the Mongols rotted so quickly? Oh, no, it's a corpse under the city!

These days, the Mongols left a large number of corpses under the city of Kadang, but they were not buried.

After the Mongols withdrew, the big camp was nearby, and the Mandate of Heaven army naturally would not go out of the city to collect the corpses of the Mongols, in case the Mongol cavalry crushed them......

Lin Dan Khan also couldn't collect the corpses of his warriors, these corpses were close to the city wall, within the firing range of the rifles of the Mandate of Heaven, if anyone had the guts, they should have attacked the city a long time ago, in fact, every time the battle ended, the gunners of the Mandate of Heaven Army would harvest the wounded Mongol soldiers under the city.

The corpses were accumulating more and more, and the earlier corpses had already decomposed, so they emitted a pungent stench.

Li Zicheng's heart moved, now that the weather is hot, the corpse will soon decompose, and if it is not disposed of in time, it is very likely to cause a plague!

In this era, once the plague spreads, humanity is helpless and can only watch its own kind die from the disease.

If the Mongols attacked the city again, they would be more susceptible to infection if they were under the city, and the plague could be a "bacteriological weapon" against the Mongols.

However, after the Mongols are infected, will they be transmitted to the nearby Han Chinese? This is really hard to control, and it will be a catastrophe for mankind!

It's okay if the Mongolians don't understand this truth, but Li Zicheng knows how dangerous it is!

No, the plague is like a devil in a cage, once released, it will not only harm others, but also harm itself in the future, and must not lead the world to unknown and uncontrollable territory!

Li Zicheng made up his mind and decided to destroy the corpse, Lin Dan Khan had already withdrawn his army, and he had the opportunity to destroy the corpse.

But the corpses of these Mongols had been delayed under the city for ten days, and perhaps they had been infected with the plague, so he did not dare to take the risk, so he asked the soldiers to pour fire oil on the corpses from the city, and burned them first.

The fire burned for an hour before it gradually went out, but there were still scattered corpses under the city, and these corpses also had to be cleaned up, Li Zicheng sent a small flag of soldiers to gather the corpses, set up firewood, and burned them, and then cleaned the city, and even the Mongolian tents that were burned by the fire were also cleaned up.

After returning to the city, the soldiers of this small flag first gathered together, scrubbed and disinfected their bodies with a high degree of liquor, and then isolated from the other soldiers, serving good wine and food every day, but could not leave the house where they were staying.

These soldiers are happy, not only do they not have to fight, but they can also drink wine and eat meat in a big bowl, and they can also be counted as a military merit!

They don't know that they may be infected with germs, but their true identity is waiting for death.

Fortunately, a few days later, there was nothing Li Zicheng feared, and they were "released" to return to the team.

That night, Li Zicheng went to visit Song Wen, who was recuperating, and saw that his body had recovered a lot, and he should be able to ride a horse to travel far, so he said: "Song Qianhu, now that Zhou Binbu has taken over Kadang City, you should take your subordinates and go back to Xining to recuperate!" ”

Song Wen understood what Li Zicheng meant, in order to defend Kadang City, most of the soldiers of the 7,000th household were lost, but after a few days of recuperation of the wounded soldiers, they should have recovered some combat effectiveness, so he begged: "Governor, let your subordinates stay, your subordinates must watch the Mongols fall under Kadang City with their own eyes, so as to eliminate the hatred in their hearts......

"Song Qianhu rest assured, we will never let Lin Dan Khan feel better," Li Zicheng patted Song Wen's shoulder and said with a smile: "The military merits of your department, when you return to Xining, you will calculate it, and the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion will definitely not treat every soldier badly!" ”

"The Governor of Dadu......" Song Wen was still reluctant, "The Mongols have not really withdrawn their troops, and the brothers of the 7,000th household can still assist in defending the city!" ”

"Song Qianhu don't worry, the follow-up reinforcements will arrive soon," Li Zicheng knew that Song Wen wanted to carry out the victory to the end, but still rejected him, "After Song Qianhu returned to Xining, he began to retrain the soldiers, I will let the Dadu Governor's Mansion give you enough soldiers, or a thousand households of soldiers and a thousand households of auxiliaries!" ”

"My subordinates, thank you to the Metropolitan Governor......" Song Wen was grateful, and he was still a little reluctant in his heart, after all, Kadang City was the first place where he fought the enemy independently on a large scale, and he desperately defended Kadang City......

"In this way, Song Qianhu can rest for a day or two, and when the reinforcements arrive, he will leave Kadang City and return to Xining for training!" Li Zicheng couldn't help it, so he had to make a slight concession.

"Subordinates listen to the governor!" Song Wen saw that Li Zicheng had made a decision, so he stopped speaking, he knew that this was the Metropolitan Governor's sympathy for him, as for military merits, he would not worry, since Li Zicheng entered Xining, military merits have always been treated equally, and the reward is quite rich.

After another day, the follow-up infantry rushed to Kadang City, Li Zicheng was the happiest, Kadang City, increased the gunners of five hundred households of Zhou Bin's department, and the strength of the defense was doubled.

With the arrival of reinforcements, there are also a large amount of food, ammunition and other supplies, as long as the walls of Kadang City are not broken, it will be impregnable.

Song Wen saw that the reinforcements had arrived, and initially repelled the Mongols, so he no longer insisted, and left Kadang City with all the soldiers of his headquarters and returned to Xining to rest.

The reinforcements had only rested for one night, and when they got up the next day, they were told that the Mongols had begun to attack the city again, and that they were immediately preparing breakfast and could go into battle at any time.

At the head of the west of Kadang City, Li Zicheng and Zhou Bin led the original five hundred gunmen to stand quietly under the banner of the Kyushu Army, and outside the city, Lin Dan Khan's octagonal hat is also particularly obvious, although he has never met, but his Khan's temperament is not comparable to the majesty of the Mongolian soldiers.

However, at this moment, Lin Dan Khan, although he still has the bearing and majesty of the King of Han, the original elegance on his body is gone, and a few iconic long whiskers under his chin are only an inch short of hard stubble due to the fire.

Li Zicheng's gaze had already been fixed on his body, and Lin Dan Khan at this time was also looking at the city, and the young officer wearing a white felt hat under the Kyushu Army was deeply imprinted in his mind.

Zhou Bin looked at it and said softly: "The Grand Dudu, the Mongolian cavalry, there are about five thousand!" ”

Li Zicheng nodded slightly, his eyes swept over the periphery of the Mongolian cavalry, and his face showed surprise, "Zhou Bin, the Mongols did not set up a big camp on the bank of the Chauna River, they are desperate and will not die!" ”

"Governor, perhaps...... Maybe the Mongols don't have tents anymore......" Zhou Bin did not see the Mongols' tents, but he still couldn't believe it, how could the Mongol Khan King fight with others?

"Impossible," Li Zicheng furrowed his brows and said in a deep voice: "Even if ordinary Mongolian soldiers don't have spare tents, could it be that Lin Dan Khan, as well as high-ranking Mongolian officers, will also have no tents?" ”

Zhou Bin thought about it, too, Lin Dan Khan didn't even stand in the camp, and it was clear that he was desperate, and if he didn't take Kadang City, he would definitely not withdraw his troops, "Governor, what should I do?" ”

"What else can I do? Fight! Li Zicheng thanked God, the gunners of the 5000 households of the Zhou Bin Department had just arrived, and the number of soldiers in his hands had doubled.

In the face of thousands of Mongolian cavalry, his heart fluctuated, he could fight hard with Lin Dan Khan on the battlefield, whether he won or lost, it was enough, he was just an ordinary member of China, and Lin Dan Khan on the opposite side was the Great Khan of the whole Mongols, the descendant of the Golden Family, and the descendant of Genghis Khan!

If the Mandate of Heaven army can achieve the final victory, the Meng Yuan will be officially destroyed, and there may still be remnants of the Mongol tribes, but they are only side branches of the Mongols, and they cannot represent the whole of Mongolia, let alone the resurrected Meng Yuan.

The only thing that makes Li Zicheng a little regretful is that Lin Dan Khan, the authentic Mongolian Great Khan, is now only 5,000 cavalry by his side, which is no longer the same as the momentum of hundreds of thousands of cavalry sweeping the steppe at every turn.

The Great Khan of Mongolia has fallen, and it will not be extinguished at this time, but when?

In case you are defeated...... Li Zicheng couldn't imagine that with more than a thousand gunmen and the walls of Kadang City, would the Mandate of Heaven Army fail?

Lin Dan Khan, who was pressing the formation in the rear, also set his sights on Li Zicheng, if he broke through Kadang City in time, the Mongolian warriors would get enough food and supplies, and the livestock would also be able to go to the big grass beach to get sufficient and fresh pasture, which was much stronger than hay.

These Han people in the city are much stronger than imagined, they must have the blood of the Mongols flowing in their bodies, he thought so last time, this time, how to break the city, the strong men in the city, whether they have Mongol blood or not, must stay, and the strong men lost by the Mongols under the city must be compensated!

Regardless of whether they can gallop on the battlefield as cavalry, there is always no problem in serving the livestock, saving the time and energy of the warriors, but unfortunately there are too few Mongolian women left, otherwise, the warriors are out on the battlefield, these Han strong men can not only stay to serve the livestock, but also help the Mongolian women conceive.

Now the tribe lacks everything, especially children, they are the hope of the Mongols!

The Han people in the city don't seem to be too weak and should be able to undertake such a task, but unfortunately, there are too few Mongolian women who escaped this time...... Lin Dan Khan was suddenly overjoyed, since there are strong men in the city, there will also be Han women, and now he can't care about the weakness of Han women, and he must expand the population of various tribes as soon as possible!

Lin Dan Khan was suddenly in a good mood, and the Han army at the head of the city seemed to suddenly become docile, waiting for the Mongolian warriors to bring back one by one like sheep.

The Mongolian warriors are ready, this time, Lin Dan Khan is preparing for a cavalry raid, and with the low "whimper" of the horn, thousands of Mongolian cavalry urged the war horses.

The sound of horses' hooves slammed into the water source of the valley outside Kadang City, and also hit the hearts of the gunners of the Heavenly Mandate Army in the city, but Li Zicheng found that the Mongols who attacked this time were all cavalry, and even the ladder was carried forward by the cavalry.
