Chapter Seventy-Four: The Mongol Terminator (2)

Ezhe was not in good health, and he was out of breath after making a round, and then the maid ring behind him brought two chairs for the two to sit down. Looking at his beautiful wife beside him, Ezhe asked worriedly, "Makata, what do you say to do now?" The army from the Ming Dynasty and the traitors from Ordos have surrounded the Naturalization City on all sides, and we can't escape if we want to. ”

Makata comforted: "My father has already learned that Zhao Kang, the governor of Yansui of the Ming Kingdom, has defeated the Ordos tribes, but the army of my Great Qing State is now fighting a decisive battle with the Ming army in Liaodong, and I can't draw troops for the time being. Now that Guihua City has been repaired for several years, it is still easy to block the attack of the Han barbarians. The city had already prepared food that could last at least half a year and a large number of weapons, all of which were transported from Datong by the big merchants of Shanxi, Fan Yongdou, Wang Dengku, Jin Liangyu, and Wang Dayu. I don't believe that those cowardly barbarians of the Ming Kingdom can take down this naturalized city! ”

Ezhe lamented in his heart: Huang Taiji's secret decree was sent directly to his daughter, the person who surrendered really has no status, he has been married for six years, and he doesn't even dare to touch a single hair of this woman, although he is nominally his wife, but this is clearly used to spy on me.

Although he was dissatisfied in his heart, he didn't dare to show it at all, but said: "But our Mongolian warriors are good at riding and shooting, and now we have to nest in this naturalized city and learn from the Han barbarians to guard it, it always feels very strange." And I don't know how much combat power the Mongol warriors who lost their horses. ”

"Actually, you think I want you to do this?" It's just a secret report from our spies that Zhao Kang's army is equipped with a steel chariot, which is not only almost invincible in the charge, but also runs faster than a horse. The most powerful thing is that you can run all the time without eating grass. You should have heard that it took Zhao Kang less than a day to sweep the entire Hetao, and he rushed thousands of miles to directly take down the Elu Chen. How much stronger do you think the cavalry of the Chahar division will be stronger than the cavalry of the Ordos department? You also saw how strong those chariots were below, your brother Abu Nai led 300 cavalry out to test the attack, and in less than half a pillar of incense, half of it was lost, and the opponent was unharmed. All we can do is use the walls of the Naturalization City to block their attack. ”

Ezhe asked again: "Have all the four flags on the right flank of Chahar been withdrawn into the city?" ”

Makata said: "No, only the four banners on the left flank have withdrawn, and the four banners on the right flank I ordered them to find a way to harass the Ming army, and at the same time cover us outside the city when the naturalization city could not be defended." ”

Ezhe nodded, he didn't have any objections to his wife's arrangement, and of course he didn't dare to have any objections. After all, it would be best to have an army on the periphery to meet you when you break out.

Of course, Ezhe and Makata's ideas are very good, but Zhao Kang is definitely a master who does not play cards according to common sense.

Ezhe and Makata prepared a large amount of gold juice, stones, rolling logs, and arrows on the naturalization city wall, waiting for Zhao Kang to lead the army, like an ordinary Ming army, rushing cars, ladders, Hao bridges, and catapult wheels to turn into battle, and the soldiers pounced on the naturalization city like ants. So that this Han barbarian named Zhao Kang knew that when defending the city, the Mongol warriors were no weaker than the Han barbarians.

But the two men were disappointed, and the army outside the city did nothing for two whole days, and assembled the catapult from a safe distance outside the city. Ezhe and Makata watched the movements of the Ming army from the city walls every day. When he saw the catapults assembled by the Ming army, even Ezhe laughed, pointed to the catapults and said to Makata: "Then Zhao Kang doesn't want to use these small catapults to defeat the Naturalization City, right?" ”

Makata looked in the direction her husband pointed, and sure enough, those catapults were less than one-third the size of the catapults used in ordinary armies, and according to that size, they could only throw more than a dozen catties of stones into the Naturalization City, although they could cause some damage to the people in the city, but it was really wishful thinking to break through the Naturalization City with a catapult of that size.

Makata said: "Then Zhao Kang is also a person who is more capable of fighting in the Ming Kingdom, how could he make such a mistake, I always feel that something is wrong." ”

On the third day, Zhao Kang's 400 catapults were finally assembled. Early in the morning, Zhao Kang sent envoys to the city to persuade him to surrender.

A Mongolian officer from the Ordos Department walked to the city of Naturalization on horseback, and shouted at Ezhe and Makata on the city wall: "Prince Ezhe of Chahar of the puppet Qing Dynasty, my lord gives you time for three pillars of incense, let you go out of the city and surrender immediately, and once the time of three pillars of incense passes, the entire city of naturalization will be reduced to ashes!" If you surrender, my lord promises to recommend you as Chahar Jinong in front of the emperor of the Ming Kingdom! ”

When Ezhe heard the words of the envoy under the city, he was almost so angry that he immediately scolded: "I'm Erke Konggol Ezhe, the son of the former Great Khan of Mongolia, Lin Dan Khan, even if I have surrendered to the Great Qing Kingdom now, I am also the Chahar Prince of the Great Qing Kingdom, and your master recommended me as Chahar Jinong, is this insulting me?" Insult the blood of the Golden Family in my body? ”

Seeing that her husband was so angry that he almost fainted, Makata said, "You can see how rude those Han barbarians are now." You don't have to vomit with that kind of uninformed Han barbarian. As long as you are loyal to my father, my father will never despise you like a Han barbarian. ”

Ezhe nodded and said loudly: "You go back and tell that Zhao Kang that bragging can't blow the naturalized city under my feet." As for surrender, it is impossible. My Ezhe's head is here again, and if you have the ability, you will come and take it! ”

The envoy sent by Zhao Kang conveyed Ezhe's original words to Zhao Kang, and Zhao Kang was holding a high telescope in the military formation to watch the movement on the city wall: "That Ezhe really doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, you go and inform everyone, after the three pillars of incense, directly start to throw incendiary bombs, so that these Chahar fools can see what hell is." ”

"Yes, sir!" The envoy was just about to retreat, but Zhao Kang stopped him again.

"Who is the woman next to Ezhe on the city wall? Looks pretty good, wow! The figure is also top-notch! There are still such beauties among the Mongols? ”

The messenger said: "If you go back to your lordship, that woman should be Ezhe's wife Makata, she is the second daughter of Huang Taiji, and she was a famous beauty in the puppet Qing Kingdom before she got married. ”

Zhao Kang said: "Huang Taiji's daughter? Well, it's very good, you go and inform everyone, after the city is broken, this woman should be captured alive as much as possible, I want to ...... Well, I'm going to ask myself to interrogate her! ”
