540 So cowardly
If we continue to fight, there are a bunch of difficulties, food, morale, etc., and the most important thing is that there is no hope of defeating the Naturalization City! Those thieves don't know what's going on, their morale has increased so much, they are getting stronger and stronger!
If you don't fight, continuing to find a place to wander like this will undoubtedly deal a serious blow to the prestige of the Golden Family. What's more critical is that if you can't take the Naturalization City, you still lack enough food, and the jade seal of the country is still inside. Once you let others know that you can't even keep the jade seal of the country, it will further blow your prestige, and it will be even more difficult to bring the team in the future.
Lin Dan Khan thinks left and right, it's really a dilemma! He couldn't hold his mind for a while, so he had to go back and sulk.
Tiger Ruk Saisan saw that he was moved, but he hadn't made up his mind yet, and he was relieved in his heart. It seems that at least there is no need to attack the city again, which is a good thing. Go back and find others to sum it up, and then persuade the Great Khan, it is estimated that the Great Khan should give up!
So, on this day, there were generals who went to see Lin Dan Khan one after another, complaining and complaining again, which made Lin Dan Khan's will shake again, and he was already inclined to withdraw the army.
When his men saw this, they immediately became happy, and they privately issued orders to prepare for the withdrawal of troops.
At the head of the naturalized city, the banner of the king fluttered in the wind on one of the sections of the city wall. Li Guo and Li Zicheng inspected the city under their banner to check the combat readiness of their subordinates.
"Rest assured!" His subordinates said with a smile, "The Mongols are scared, it's almost a day today, and they don't dare to attack the city!" ”
"Hehe, yes, the Mongols coaxed!" The other subordinates chimed in, "It's easy for us to keep it!" ”
“……”
Li Zicheng laughed when he heard it, it was best not to fight, and his subordinates would be able to die less. He smiled at his men and told them not to be careless. But between his words and deeds, he is obviously a lot more relaxed.
Li Guo accompanied him and stood at a battlement to look at the Mongol camp in the distance. There was no one else around, so he whispered with a smile on his face: "The emperor said that it may take two more days, try to gather more cavalry troops, and strive to solve these Mongols at once, and it will be much easier to defend it after the Hetao is taken in the future." ”
Speaking of this, he paused slightly, looked at his face outside, and said with a slight hint of disdain: "Just these Mongols, they retreated with a little casualties, and now they are even more afraid that they haven't attacked the city for a day." In my opinion, don't say that you will keep it for two more days, it will be three or four more days, and five or six days will be fine, uncle, don't you say? ”
Li Zicheng smiled and nodded, since Wang Jiayin used the jade seal of the country to prove that he was destined to return to heaven and would inevitably be the Ninth Five-Year Emperor in the future, most of the people in the city were like fighting chicken blood, fighting bravely one by one, and they all wanted to wait for the end of this war to be rewarded and become a general.
Thinking so, he looked down and saw the corpses of the Mongols under the city. These corpses have been left there, I'm afraid I'll have to wait until after dark at night to secretly pick them up, right? As far as the courage and morale of the Mongols are concerned, hehe......
Suddenly, Li Zicheng's happy face changed suddenly, his smile was gone, and he stared at the Mongolian camp in the distance carefully.
"Li Guo, take a closer look, what are the Mongols doing?" Li Zicheng grabbed Li Guo's shoulder, as if there was still a hint of nervousness in demanding.
Li Guo felt the change in his mood, and immediately smiled, and hurriedly and carefully observed the Mongolian camp in the distance. After looking at it for a while, a smile appeared on his face again, turned his head to look at Li Zicheng, and said with a little complaint: "Uncle, what are you making all the fuss about?" I thought the Mongols were going to attack the city again! Hehe, look at them like that, it seems that they are all preparing to withdraw their troops, how can they still come to attack the city......"
As soon as he said this, Li Guo was suddenly stunned. He also thought of the key to it, if the Mongols were ready to withdraw, wouldn't they be in vain when the imperial army was assembled and attacked? If you can't annihilate so many people of Lin Dan Khan under the Naturalization City, it will be a little unrealistic to find Lin Dan Khan's main force for a decisive battle in the future. The grassland is so big, it's hard to find Lin Dan Khan!
Besides, even if you take the Hetao in the future, how will you defend it? Lin Dan Khan will definitely not lose the Naturalization City like this, and will definitely continue to invade. Is it possible to let the imperial army stay in the Hetao all the time? Not to mention whether this is okay or not, just defending every day, how can the victims of Qin and Jin can cultivate fertile land here and live and work in peace and contentment!
Li Zicheng saw the change in Li Guo's face, and he immediately knew that his nephew had thought of the key point. So, he immediately demanded: "Ask the emperor if you can send a large army immediately, maybe you can arrive before the Mongols withdraw!" ”
When Li Guo heard this, he immediately shook his head and said, "I just contacted the emperor before, and the emperor said that it would take two more days." Now it is definitely only available to the local cavalry of Yansui and Datong. If it's just those cavalry troops, I'm afraid there aren't enough people to inflict heavy damage on so many Mongols outside the city! ”
Speaking of this, he said a little frustratedly: "Just now I thought that it would be okay to have two more days!" Why are these Mongols so cowardly, there are so many people, the nest is occupied by us, and they are all thinking about withdrawing, I'm bah! ”
After venting for a while, Li Guo was also helpless, so he had to whisper: "This is really fucking unlucky, in this way, our credit will be much smaller." Forget it, I'll tell the emperor, if I don't say it, it will be even more troublesome! ”
After finishing speaking, he was ready to enter the chat group to contact Emperor Chongzhen.
But at this moment, many thieves in the city also noticed the movement of the Mongolians outside the city, and they couldn't help shouting excitedly.
"The Mongols are going to run, the Mongols are going to run!"
"Haha, we won, we won!"
"The emperor is really destined by heaven, so many Mongolians can't help us!"
“……”
The city was full of laughter and morale, and they were already celebrating their victory in advance.
Li Zicheng looked at the head of the city, then at the Mongolian camp outside the city, and then looked down at the corpses of the Mongols under the city, and suddenly grabbed Li Guo, and whispered a little fast: "Wait first, don't tell the emperor!" ”
"Why?" When Li Guo saw it, he couldn't help but ask a little puzzled.
Li Zicheng looked at him, and said with a little excitement on his serious face: "I have an idea, I should be able to keep the Mongols outside the city." ”
"What?" When Li Guo heard this, he was overjoyed and asked, "What's the way, say it quickly, you say it quickly!" ”
If he could keep the Mongol army outside the city, so as to create an opportunity for the imperial court to annihilate them, then this credit would be great, and he would naturally be very happy!
