Text Chapter 265 The Xining Army That Can't See Through
Li Zicheng left the construction site of the city, returned to the big tent, listened to the soldier's report, and unconsciously sneered in his heart, what a Tian Tianhao, I hope you are not happy, but he said to the soldier: "You did a good job!" "Turned around and asked He Xiaomi to reward him with a tael of silver.
"Thank you, sir!" The soldier knelt on the ground, and before he could get up, he hurriedly prostrated his head in thanksgiving.
"Go ahead, remind the brothers, continue to pay attention, and report the situation at any time!"
"Yes, sir!" The soldier prostrated again, and then he got up, and went out rejoicing.
Li Zicheng pondered for a moment, smiled slightly, already had a plan in his heart, stepped out of the big tent, and continued to command the auxiliaries and strong men to build the city wall.
By noon the next day, the west side of the city had been completely leveled, and the soldiers should be able to participate in various battles at the head of the city, Li Zicheng originally planned to build the north side of the city wall near the side of Kadang Mountain, but the stone materials for building the city wall mainly came from the foot of Kadang Mountain, if the north wall was built, and then when the stones were to be transported, they would have to detour from the east side.
In order to save distance and time, he decided to build the south and east walls first, and then the two walls were completed, and finally the wall on the side of the hill.
After lunch, Li Zicheng asked Zhou Bin to take his soldiers to the west of the city to have a look, first, to familiarize himself with the environment of the war in advance, and second, to see if there were any areas in the city that needed to be improved.
The gunmen of the five hundred households, like treasures, had been hiding in the big tent, and this was the first time they had come to the construction site of the city.
The muzzle of the Xining rifle is pointed diagonally upwards to the left front, close to the chest, and the pace is not only neat, but also very compatible, no matter what the height of the soldier is, the length of the step is the same.
The soldiers straightened their waists one by one, making it look like a military parade, but Li Zicheng didn't think it was formalism, who could believe that an army that was used to being casual on weekdays could show all the courage and determination on the battlefield?
The results of the battle can be predicted from their words and deeds in the daily drills and training.
The Xining auxiliaries were not surprised, and continued to do their own work, while the Huiren Zhuangding, who was also doing the work, unconsciously stopped the work in his hand, and talked about it one by one, as if he saw a gorilla and a red panda dancing together, until someone shouted loudly and waved the horsewhip, they picked up the work in their hands again, but they still turned back one step at a time, taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the supervisor, and secretly took a few looks.
Such a big movement naturally alarmed Tian Tianhao, who had been idle and idle, and he quietly followed behind these soldiers, looking at the mighty and majestic Xining soldiers, and couldn't help but "chuckle" in his heart, is this God's gift to the Xining army?
However, can such a pace withstand the Mongol cavalry?
Tian Tianhao can't be sure, but he sees a different military style in the Xining Army, at least this is a well-trained army!
Li Zicheng was standing at the head of the city, talking to Zhou Bin, when suddenly a soldier shouted: "My lord, cavalry!" ”
His heart tightened, McLigan came so soon? Impossible, right? Looking sideways, there was indeed a group of cavalry in the distance, and in front of the cavalry's horses, there was also a moving thing, because it had just turned the mountain pass, and it was impossible to see clearly.
The cavalry was only showing a small part of the front, and the number was constantly increasing from behind the mountain, and it was not known how many there were.
It's closer, it's getting closer and closer, Li Zicheng has already seen the clue, it's not Mai Ligan's cavalry, but the Xining cavalry, Liu Yunshui is in the middle and rear of the team, moving things at the front, white is sheep, flowers are cows, and jujube red, dark black war horses!
Li Zicheng smiled slightly and said, "That's our cavalry!" ”
"Our cavalry?"
"I saw it, Liu Baihu, no, Lord Congqianhu is laughing on horseback!"
"So many cattle and sheep ......"
……
Tian Tianhao heard the news, and he also desperately squeezed onto the city, and looked ahead, sure enough, it was the Xining cavalry, and there should be no less than a thousand of them in that large area of snow-white sheep, right? There are also cows and horses, and Mongolian women with their hands tied and crossed on horseback!
Could it be that the Xining army has won another battle?
Why are the Mongols who have been killed by heaven so bad? In front of the Xining army, they lost so much that they didn't even want cattle, sheep and women, could they only bully Hui people?
Li Zicheng glanced at Tian Tianhao, and didn't talk to him, but said to He Xiaomi: "Open the city gate and welcome the triumphant return of the hundredth household!" ”
"Yes, sir!" He Xiaomi agreed and hurried to give the order.
The west gate was slowly opened, and dozens of soldiers lined up to wait at the city gate.
Xu is seeing the crowd at the head of the city, Liu Yunshui abandoned the army, took more than a dozen soldiers, galloped out of the team, and after a while, he entered the west city gate, and Li Zicheng personally went down to the city to greet him.
"Your Excellency!" Liu Yunshui turned over and jumped off the horse, prostrate on the ground, "Subordinate...... Subordinates are guilty! ”
Li Zicheng had a bad feeling in his heart, he obviously saw the cavalry just now, what was going on? He frowned slightly and said, "Yunshui got up and spoke, what are your crimes?" ”
"My lord," Liu Yunshui hesitated for a moment, and finally got up, "The brothers died twenty-one people in battle, more than ten were seriously injured, and dozens of minor injuries...... But the brothers fought bloodily, and the Mongols suffered heavier casualties, nearly a hundred strong men, only more than ten people escaped through the net under the cover of night......"
Such casualties made Li Zicheng feel a little distressed, this was also the battle with the largest casualties in the Xining cavalry, the Xining cavalry was noble, not as good as the Mongolian cavalry, it was not easy to train, from this point of view, Liu Yunshui was indeed guilty.
But nearly 100 Mongolian strong men, only more than ten people escaped, with Liu Yunshui's mood at the time, the rest don't need to ask, I'm afraid I have already seen their immortal happiness gone, and even their women, cattle and sheep have been copied from the bottom.
This is a big victory!
Although more than a dozen Mongolian strong men fled, their women, cattle and sheep were gone, and only the pants they wore on their bodies remained.
As for their report to Mai Ligan, the Xining army is not afraid, Li Zicheng is waiting for Mai Li Gan to go south, he is afraid that he will not dare to come, this time Liu Yunshui terminated his tribe of more than 200 people, Mai Li Gan will not go south to take revenge, the chair under his buttocks, I am afraid it will be human, this is also the reason why Li Zicheng asked Liu Yunshui not to clean the battlefield.
In a fit of rage, in the face of an enemy of unknown strength, Li Zicheng didn't know if Mai Ligan had read "The Art of War", and he was really a little worried about Mai Ligan.
Coupled with the sneak attack the night before yesterday, the Maili cadres have lost more than 100 strong men, at least 400 troops, and he who was originally not a large population and was forced to support himself in the relatively barren pasture of Datong Mountain, how many such blows can he withstand?
However, for the Xining Army, the population of Maili cadres is really a great thing, if the cattle and sheep and the population are small enough, they will not need the alpine pasture of Dabanshan, and the Xining Army stationed in Kadang City will face less pressure in the future.
Li Zicheng smiled and patted Liu Yunshui's shoulder, "Yunshui doesn't have to mind, how can there be immortals in war?" Let's go to the big tent to talk! ”
Tian Tianhao has been standing at the head of the west city, after a large number of cattle, horses and sheep entered the city, the Xining cavalry began to enter the city, and the Mongolian women who tied their hands and feet and threw them on horseback had long lost the strength to struggle, and were carried into the city by war horses like dead dogs.
At the back of the line, he saw the casualties of the Xining cavalry, the corpses of more than 20 soldiers, supported by their companions on horseback, slowly approaching the West City Gate.
The blood had long since dried up, and the Mingguang armor looked messy because it was stained with blood, and the only face exposed outside the Mingguang armor was as pale as paper.
It turns out that with God's protection, the Xining army will still have casualties, God, how can it be compared with our Allah Allah?
Tian Tianhao couldn't tell his feelings, or rather, his heart was conflicted, he hoped that the Xining army would be defeated and the self-righteous Li Zicheng would be hit, and he also hoped that the Xining army would kill a large number of Mongols, lest they go south to harass Haomen Town and bring harm to the Hui people.
What if the Xining army and the Mongols were both defeated and wounded, or even annihilated together!
It took him an afternoon to grind and finally get the results of last night's battle.
Yes, as he expected, the Xining army and the Mongols were both defeated.
But to his surprise, the Xining army seemed to be more powerful than the Mongol cavalry, and at the cost of 21 deaths, they actually slashed and killed 68 Mongolian strong men, destroyed the tribe, seized all their horses, cattle, sheep, tents, supplies, and captured 36 young Mongolian women.
Extermination!
For this tribe, it is indeed extermination, although they finally escaped more than ten people, but there are no women, no horses, cattle and sheep, they can only be regarded as lonely ghosts in the mountains and grasslands.
Unless they are willing to join other tribes and become other people's servants, they will no longer be able to reproduce, and even survival will be a problem. But even so, the original tribe no longer exists.
Such a record, even with the protection of Allah, is difficult for the Hui people to match!
When he got such a result, Tian Tianhao's heart kept trembling, and he couldn't tell whether he was feeling sorry for the Mongols, or shocked by the cruelty of the Xining army, or their combat effectiveness.
In the Xining army, he was like a lonely wolf, he did not have the sharp claws and sharp teeth of a wolf, but he had a pair of eyes brighter than a wolf.
Tian Tianhao didn't even eat dinner, he went back to his tent directly, lying on his back on the bed, everything that happened on the battlefield, although he didn't see it with his own eyes, was a scene in his mind, cruel, bloody......
Xining Army, why can't I see through it?
It seems that tomorrow we will have to talk to those God-believing auxiliaries!
