Wang Xiong, who made the same action, lost his composure, his face turned a little pale, and he said hoarsely: "Why is it so big, why is it so big......"

Wang Xiong, who is more experienced, can judge more information, he is much more experienced than Zhu Da, but the information that can be judged is still beyond his concept.

The sheer size of the Mongol horse team had long been deduced, and when the facts were really in front of them, the shock of Zhu Da and Wang Xiong was still not diminished in the slightest.

In the memory of more than 20 years, Zhu Da once went to the beach to play when the autumn wind was strong, and he could hear the waves crashing on the shore in the distance far away from the seaside.

The whole city was already in turmoil, and there were not many people like Zhu Da and Wang Xiong who could tell that the enemy was coming, but most of them were aware of these visions, and even if they didn't know what it meant, they knew that it was not a good omen.

It's just that people's hearts are flustered but they don't collapse, Zhu Da's family and the official servants are patrolling, although they are also flustered, they will also beat or arrest people who run around on the street, and there is still order on the street.

Zhu Da and Wang Xiong didn't care about the original plan, and the two of them walked quickly to the head of the city, and ran along the trail to the north, the enemy of the brigade would definitely come from the north, nothing more than the northwest or northeast......

"Beacon! Balefire! ”

Someone shouted at the head of the city, the sky and even closer distance, beacon fire and smoke are not uncommon, what can make the city head guard shout out like this is because there is beacon smoke in the direction of Datong City, dozens of miles away, there are many beacon fires and smoke, you can see it very clearly, the pressure on people is even more unusual, the enemy has already arrived in Datong.

The head of the city began to stir, although the garrison crossed the battlements of the city wall or could only see the vast snow field and the beacon smoke on the side of Datong, everyone subconsciously dodged and curled up, if it wasn't for the family and the young poor people who patrolled the city were quite resolute, I am afraid everyone would collapse and run down the city, but even so, everyone still shrank behind the city wall as much as possible, as if there were already enemies outside the city.

"The proprietor, it's not a way to defend the city like this, if the Tartars come to attack, they will definitely only fight from one direction, that side is what we want to defend with all our might, and now we are defending on all sides, in fact, we can't take care of all sides!"

Wang Xiong's composure had vanished, perhaps he was regretting why he didn't flee out of the city earlier, or perhaps it was because of this regret and the impending enemy brigade that made him anxious.

"If such a large group really attacks, even if our people are concentrated on one side, and bet on the right direction of the Tartars' main attack, they will not be able to prevent it." At this moment, Zhu Da is calm.

"What about you!"

"We must always be on guard, even if it is to make an appearance, otherwise, the city will completely collapse, people will run and scatter, there will be nothing left, and then it will be a dead end, our vitality lies in the fact that the enemy does not attack the city, we bet on this!"

"You...... You don't panic......" Wang Xiong regained his composure, shook his head and looked at Zhu Da and said.

"If you don't win, you will die, and if you win, you can live, not to mention that this is not a gamble, this is planning and inference." Zhu Da replied in a muffled voice.

Wang Xiong stared at Zhu Da for a while, exhaled slowly, shook his head and said, "I'm ashamed." ”

Zhu Da waved his hand and asked rhetorically: "Your brothers of the Wang family were all on the battlefield back then, were you also afraid when you were in battle?" ”

"I'm afraid, but it's useless to know that I'm afraid." After saying this, Wang Xiong laughed, shook his head while laughing and said: "I never thought that I would be enlightened by the proprietor, the proprietor talks and acts like my elders." ”

The atmosphere was finally not so stiff, and because the two of them began to talk and laugh, the surrounding guards, errand servants, Minzhuang and others also relaxed a lot, after all, they had not seen the enemy at this time, and some of the bold ones even joked and laughed at themselves.

Zhu Da looked at the beacon smoke in the direction of Datong City, where the pillars of smoke rose, which was the fireworks from the beacons at the head of Datong City and the nearby fortresses, and perhaps the smoke and dust from the burning manor villages outside the city.

"Send food to the city, and make a fire at the head of the city, don't let everyone eat cold rice!" Zhu Da shouted to the people around him, and the family hurriedly ran down the city to give the order after listening to the order.

"The proprietor, do you still care about eating at this moment?"

"This cold wind is blowing, and I am panicking, if I don't eat enough, I'm afraid I won't be able to stand."

This explanation made Wang Xiong not continue to ask, he must have seen a similar situation, but the truth inside may not be clear, only nodded there and said: "The person who taught the proprietor how to defend the city is really amazing, and he can know all these details." ”

Cold will exacerbate calorie burning, panic and fear will accelerate the consumption of blood sugar, and people will indeed weaken quickly in such situations, which is the reason why Zhu Da started his meal early.

The food was delivered quickly, and the city was specially prepared, and the fire in the hearth was burning, and it would be ready as soon as there was a need.

Mood changes are sometimes irregular, but the body is very sincere, and after the panicked young man at the head of the city has eaten a hot meal, he has grown a lot of courage, and there are more people who stand up and look out.

There are already horsemen on horseback under the city, and there are police in that direction, and the head of the city shouts downward, and immediately a message will be sent to Juda and the corresponding places.

Zhu Da did not go down after going to the city this time, the family sent his weapons and protective equipment up, and there were also piles of fires rising at the head of the city, some were simply making fires, and some were boiling snow water in the cauldron, of course, these fires were not lit for warmth, but the firelight brought warmth and made people's hearts more stable.

In the vast snowy wilderness, small beasts began to run wildly, including hares, foxes and wild dogs, and there should not have been so many birds in the sky during the day, but you can also see that prey sparrows and predator falcons are flying towards the south.

In the north, there was a low roar, as if someone was beating a drum in the distance, and there were countless drums beating by countless people, beating on people's hearts.

"Here ......," someone murmured, and the white fog could already be seen in the sky, and of course there would be no white fog in such a cold weather, it was the snow kicked up by the galloping horses.

The roar is getting louder and louder, at this time, the sound of hooves like thunder is not a description, but a realistic description, you can see that the vast snow white in the field of vision is being replaced by another color, five colorful colors, the Mongolian brigade on the steppe can not do the unity of uniform color and horse color.

When the matter comes to an end, the great enemy is present, the young people in Huairen County have not collapsed, fear and panic are inevitable, and now there is nowhere to escape, just such a small city, escape and escape there, go out in the ice and snow but can't run the horse and can't survive the cold, it's not a death.

The atmosphere at the head of the city was very depressing, except for Zhou Qingyun and the head of the family who were guarding the other three sides, other people close to Zhu Da came over, they were Zhu Da's cronies, and they were also the most effective force in Zhu Da's hands, and they had to be placed in the north, which was the most likely to be attacked.

Zhu Da wanted to say a few words to make everyone less nervous, but he didn't open his mouth after all, what is the point of making everyone relaxed in such a scene.

“...... Keep an eye on it, optimistic about your position, it's a death to escape from the battle, and you have to be a bad seed, and you don't have the face to see your family, it's better to fight with the Tartars, and be a man who stands up to the sky......"

After all, they had to say a few words, after Zhu Da and the family members told him, everyone went to the city to shout, and the voice of the shouter was hoarse when he first spoke, and he only eased up after shouting a few words, although this was not an auspicious word, but after all, it diluted the dull and desperate atmosphere of the city.

Hearing this, Wang Xiong, who was standing beside Zhu Da, couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "It's really unthinkable for the proprietor to do things, shouldn't he say some words of encouragement and explanation at this time?" ”

"No one is a fool, you can't deceive people, it's better to tell the truth."

Although the cavalry in the distance appeared in the field of vision very early, the speed of the march was not as fast as expected, but the thunderous hooves became louder and louder, and even at the head of the city, a faint vibration could be felt under the feet, although it may be an illusion.

Everyone stared in the direction of Datong, staring blankly at the approach of the cavalry brigade, they didn't do anything, and they couldn't do anything.

"Look to the west, to the west!" Suddenly, someone shouted at the head of the city, and everyone subconsciously looked to the west, and there was a sudden exclamation at the head of the city.

There is also snow and fog rising in the west, and the same mottled colors are eroding the snowy fields, but with the mountains as the background, it is not so clear to see.

The Mongolian horse team is not only the road in the direction of Datong in the northeast, but also in the west! Although it had long been expected that the Mongolian horse team would break through from two directions and advance in two directions, I was still shocked after seeing it with my own eyes.

"More than 10,000 rides, more than 10,000 rides, what are the Tartars going to do?" Wang Xiong muttered, and he couldn't maintain his composure.

Zhu Da, who was "looking left and right", was also dry at this time, and couldn't help but look back when he heard Wang Xiong speak.

"The proprietor, this scale is almost the Tartar here poured out, in the battle of Yingzhou that year, the little prince mobilized forces from all over the grassland, and it was only 40,000 horsemen, but I am afraid that there are more than 10,000 horsemen who can see it today......"

"Ten thousand or tens of thousands, it's the same for us."

After saying this, Zhu Da no longer looked outside the city, he began to inspect the defense of the city, with his movements, everyone finally reacted from the shock outside the city, and began to prepare according to the plan, whether the firewood and coal at the head of the city are enough, whether the stones used to smash people are enough, how is the food in the city prepared, and whether Ding Zhuang, who should be ready to standby, is in place.

If you want to be busy, you are always too busy to be busy, Zhu Da walked slowly on the trail at the head of the city, said a few words when he saw what he needed to say, and when he saw someone panicking, he went over and punched his chest, or kicked his ass, and scolded a few words, and then all kinds of people in the city kept going to the city to ask for instructions, and Zhu Da arranged them one by one.

Zhu Da didn't walk fast, and his face was not good-looking, but everyone who saw him felt a lot more settled, and Zhu Da's attitude let everyone know that although the catastrophe is coming, there is a limit to the catastrophe, and if there is no Zhu Da's appearance, many people will be overwhelmed by the pressure brought by unlimited imagination.
