The big tent of the Mongols was built three miles away from the north of the city, leaning on a small hill, standing on the road, sheltered from the wind and the rising sun, the whole big tent was roughly oval, the distance between the tents was only three feet, it seemed quite compact, the big tent of the Chinese army of Bayar was tightly guarded in the core, Bayar was not worried that the big tent was within the range of the artillery of the Ming army, there was no artillery in the city, otherwise the Ming army would have opened fire.

As soon as he returned to the camp area, Bayar couldn't wait to get into the big tent of the Chinese army that belonged to him, without even taking off his cowhide shoes, his kimono fell on the bearskin cushion of the big bed, and he picked up a large piece of dry and cold beef jerky from the bedside, and picked up a bag of mare's milk wine, quickly unscrewed the lid, and approached the dense beard bush.

With a "bang", the mare's milk wine barely passed through the mouth, directly into the throat, and fell into the already shriveled stomach.

He exhaled a long breath full of alcohol, and his big pale white tongue licked on the beef jerky, probably thinking that the beef jerky was too hard, he frowned slightly, hesitated for a while, and finally bit a small piece with his teeth and chewed it gently.

Bayar's gaze was a little glazed, as if he was out of focus, and no one knew what he was looking at.

In fact, he didn't look at anything, but was thinking about the battle in the afternoon.

The fighting power of the Ming army has always been weak, the battlefield is like sheep, the fierce Mongolian soldiers are almost their natural enemies, and the greatest pleasure of the warriors is to meet these rich Han people.

Even if these Han people were originally soldiers, in fact, they were no different, in front of the Mongolian warriors, the Ming army and the Han people, both two-legged sheep, would only send them a lot of food and property, and even young women with big butts who would give birth.

Can ...... today? Bayar's mind moved, and he unconsciously swallowed the beef jerky that had not yet been chewed, and his mind was confused for a while, and the warriors fought hard for more than an hour, but they couldn't shake the Triangle City in the slightest, what was the reason?

Hebayar is also a person who followed Lin Dan Khan to the north and south, and has experienced countless battles of all sizes, has he not been able to learn the skills of Lin Dan Khan?

Bayard stuffed the thin mouth of the wine bag into his mouth, raised his neck, and poured mare's milk wine into his mouth, because it was poured too quickly, part of the wine flowed down the corners of his mouth into his neck and slid into his chest hair, but he didn't care, "grunt" twice, and poured it into his throat twice, and suddenly a sweet breath filled him, and his mind was a little clearer.

However, how to capture the triangle city, Bayar still has no idea, the Mongol warriors to capture the city of the Ming Dynasty, has always relied on the warriors' fearless combat effectiveness and determination, from the heart to defeat the Ming army, as long as they lose confidence a little, it is a plate of loose sand, lambs to be slaughtered, will only scramble to try to escape from the battlefield. At this time, anyone who could afford a scimitar, whether it was a Mongolian woman or a child of seven or eight years old, could cut the scimitar into their backs.

It seems that the casualties of the Ming army today are not enough, and the blow to their hearts is not heavy enough, and tomorrow from the very beginning, the warriors will put on a strong offensive posture to show confidence in victory, so as to take the triangle city on the road in one go.

"Centurion, the casualties have been counted." Bayar's guards entered the tent and whispered.

Bayard pretended to take a sip of mare's milk before lazily asking, "What about the casualties of the warriors?" Are there any serious injuries that can't go to war? ”

"Back to the centurion, the warriors killed six and seriously injured sixteen, two of them were seriously injured and bleeding profusely, I'm afraid ......"

"So much?" Bayard was lifted from the bearskin cushion, and the mare's milk wine flowed onto the leather cushion without noticing, "How is that possible?" Are you mistaken? Check it out again. ”

"Centurion, the villain will go to verify, but ...... The villain has just verified, so you shouldn't be wrong. ”

Bayar was irritable, opened his mouth and took a bite of beef jerky, his teeth chewed quickly, it seemed that it was the Ming soldiers who were against them, for the Mongols, women, cattle and sheep, water and grass were important, but the most important thing was the brave strong man, without the strong man, no matter how much wealth would sooner or later fall into the hands of others.

In more than an hour, so many warriors have been killed and wounded, how can he explain when he goes back? Especially the old ghost of McLigan, if he knew that their subordinates had been killed or wounded, he would not fight for his life?

Mistaken, must be mistaken, the warriors could not have so many casualties, only a little more than an hour of skirmishing, how could it be so many casualties?

Could it be that the defending officer of Triangle City is Li Zicheng?

Bayar quickly denied this idea, there was no "Li" banner on the city at all, Li Zicheng was not in the city at all, as long as it was not Li Zicheng, the warriors would never have suffered such a large number of casualties, even if Li Zicheng was in the city, he was not afraid, last time he was just attacked by Li Zicheng, he didn't believe that Li Zicheng still had such good luck.

However, thinking of the last sneak attack, Bayar immediately became cautious, this time he must arrange sentries and never give the Ming army a chance to sneak attack at night.

The guards soon returned, and the casualty figures were real, and after re-verification, they were confirmed to be correct.

Bayard fell into the abyss, his mind was stunned for a moment, he waved his hand and told the guards to retreat, he wanted to be alone and quiet, perhaps only mare's milk wine could help him.

With so many casualties among the warriors, what should they do?

Bayar thought about it, only by capturing the Triangle City, the big deal is that the Han people in the city will not be killed, and they will be brought back to be slaves, so as to make up for the losses of the warriors' casualties, as for the women and property in the city, it should be the Han people to compensate him, and it is a big deal to give Mai Li a few more slaves, since the Ming army is defending the Triangle City, there must be a lot of property and women in the city.

Damn Han dog, what are you doing so desperately resisting? Lao Tzu is not going to kill you, but he just asks for your belongings, people, we just take them back.

If it is said that during the afternoon battle, when Bayar saw the warriors falling, he had the idea of retreating, and now that he knows the casualties of the warriors, he will never retreat, and he must take the triangle city, so as to make up for the losses of the warriors after the casualties.

In the barracks of the Xining army, Zhou Bin also frowned, he was also thinking about the battle with the Mongols, at the end of this day, the Ming army suffered 36 casualties, 12 people died, and several soldiers were seriously injured, there is a lack of good doctors in the triangle city, even if they can save their lives, people will definitely be crippled, and it will be impossible to go to the battlefield in the future.

In addition to the two small flags in his own hands, the eighteen small flags that were put into battle all suffered casualties of varying degrees.

More than 20% of the casualties not only made the soldiers jealous, but even the subordinate chief flag officer was a little dissatisfied, "My lord, take advantage of the night, let's withdraw, Lord Qianhu only let us defend the city for three days, and now four days have passed, and it is not a violation of military orders." ”

Zhou Bin glared at him and said, "Lord Qianhu's military order says that you can evacuate after three days, and it doesn't require us to evacuate, whether to evacuate or not, I will make a temporary decision according to the situation on the battlefield." ”

"My lord, the casualties of the brothers are too great......"

"In war, especially against the murderous Mongols, how can there be no immortals? The last time Lord Qianhu took back Fuqiang Fort, didn't he also suffer dozens of soldiers? If you retreat with a few casualties, what else do you need the soldiers to do? The Lord of the Thousand Households supported us with a rich salary, did it mean that we fled in front of the Mongols? ”

"Adult ......"

"We have casualties, don't the Mongols have casualties?" Zhou Bin said with a calm face: "The Mongols are all cavalry, and they can leave with a swagger, but they still set up camp outside the northern city, they can bear the casualties, why can't we?" ”

"Your Excellency, your subordinates...... The subordinates know that they are wrong......"

Zhou Bin patted him on the shoulder, and his face softened slightly, "Lord Qianhu has not forgotten us, when he got the news of the Mongol invasion, he has already sent a fleet, at least we have a way to retreat, so as not to be trapped by the Mongols, maybe, maybe the reinforcements sent by Lord Qianhu are already on the way!" ”

"My lord, my subordinates know their mistakes...... Originally, the subordinates were just worried that the brothers would suffer too many casualties, in case the time came......"

This is indeed a problem at this time, the Han people are different from the nomadic people who are all soldiers, and the soldiers do not need to practice with each other at all, because the soldiers of Xining have always been trained intensively, and they are too dependent on each other, once the casualties reach a certain number, the whole army may suddenly collapse.

With the exception of the last few battles, the soldiers of Xining had always feared the Mongols, and if the confidence in the enemy that had been built up with great difficulty was exhausted, it would leave a shadow on the soldiers' hearts.

Zhou Bin calmed his face, thought for a moment, and said: "One day, let's hold on for another day, if the reinforcements of Lord Qianhu do not arrive, after dark tomorrow, we will withdraw from the West Sea." ”

"My subordinates understand that my subordinates will definitely hurt a few more Mongolians tomorrow!"

"Let's go back and rest first, and let the brothers rest well, tomorrow's battle will definitely not be easy!"

"Yes, my lord, my subordinates will go back to recuperate, and tomorrow, my subordinates will definitely let the Mongols know that it is the Xining Army standing in front of them."

Zhou Bin did not rest, he first let the people in the city leave by the fishing team's boats, some soldiers who were seriously injured and difficult to recover their combat effectiveness also went with the people to the mouth of the river, ready for the retreat of the whole army tomorrow, the triangle city is a new city, in addition to the city wall, the implementation of the city is basically only a few soldiers' barracks, there are fewer civilian houses, only more than ten households, there should not be a few boats.

In order to prevent the Mongols from sneaking up at night, he asked the soldiers to light torches at the head of the city, and arranged for sentries to keep an eye on the movement outside the city at all times.

After all the arrangements were over, Zhou Bin went to the barracks again to comfort the wounded soldiers before going back to rest.

Zhou Bin thought of tomorrow's battle, lying on the bed and unable to sleep for a while, so he passed the possible situation in his mind, and did not fall into a deep sleep until he was a child.
