Chapter 449: Fortified Wall

"The fields have been burned and the houses have been destroyed." The sharp whistle came to report: "Only some old people have not left, and there is no trace of young men, women and children. ”

"How is that possible?" Ah Cheng's face instantly turned iron blue, he originally planned to do such a thing, but the enemy did it in advance, which made him feel very strange, and there was a feeling that something was very wrong.

The facts are right in front of you...... Ah Cheng rode forward, and after a few miles came to a bansheng field, which was full of ripe land that had been cultivated for many years, and large acres of fields were planted with grain and vegetables, and now the wheat that was close to maturity in the fields had been burned, and there were black embers everywhere, and there were still places where there were residual fires, slowly swallowing gray smoke.

The vegetable field was all empty, and there was a very messy scene of trampling everywhere, Ah Chengqi's chest tightened, and he found that He Yusheng was too ruthless, and he didn't even leave a single vegetable plant.

"Keep going." Ah Cheng said: "It seems that they have escaped. ”

Geng Ge blew his beard and glared at him and scolded tiredly: "These Han dogs, who bragged about fighting us beforehand, have all fled now." ”

Everything was empty, and the villages where the Han Chinese lived in the past were almost all empty, only some old people and a few people chose to stay, and they knelt down to greet the Mongol army when they passed by, and Ah Cheng didn't bother to pay attention to them, he felt a little depressed in his heart.

"Only keep moving forward and rush to Bansheng City." People were talking, Ah Cheng didn't have much time to hesitate, he felt that the Bansheng City side was also empty.

In the afternoon, Bansheng City appeared in front of everyone's eyes, Xi Lingse took the lead in leading the department, this is his family's territory, Sanniangzi and Su Nang and others live here, after Su Nang's death, it was occupied by He Yusheng, and it has also become a thorn in the heart of each department, Xi Lingse looked at the city and shouted: "Take back this city and restore the glory of my ancestors!" ”

Under the orders of Xi Lingse, a large group of cavalry rushed to the edge of the city to spy on them, and not only were they not attacked, but they also found that the city gates were wide open.

Ah Cheng felt that something was wrong, and he rode his horse straight into the city.

Ta Bu Nang and the others also hurriedly followed, the city was full of open doors, some trading houses, and the doors of restaurants were all open, but there was no one to be seen.

"Ah, my Bansheng City!"

Xi Lingse's eyes widened, and he kept roaring in the city.

His family wealth has been looted almost, and there are not many people left, Bansheng City is his inheritance, and Xi Lingse also intends to collect heavy taxes in the city to restore his industry and vitality, but the result is the scene in front of him, he is like a lone wolf who has lost a pack, roaring in the city.

The scene in the city can only be said to be desolate, full of empty houses, Ah Cheng only then realized that this city is so dilapidated, when he came here in the past, because of the dense population, there were merchants of the merchant house shouting and buying and selling everywhere, as well as the Han merchants and Mongols from all the departments who came to trade, and there were also many Mongols and Han people living in the city.

Tabu brought Zhao and Rong, and behind Zhao and Rong was a sparse group of people.

"The old slave knocks on all Taiji."

Zhao and Rong knelt down tremblingly and saluted Xi Lingse, Ah Cheng and others.

"Zhao, Rong?" Xi Lingse rushed over, grabbed Zhao and Rong's necks and shouted, "What about the people in the city? ”

Zhao and Rong said: "Most of the people in the city and the people in the villages outside have followed the people of He Yusheng......

Ah Cheng said: "The last time Tabu came over, didn't there be a garrison and residents in the city who didn't leave?" ”

Zhao and Rong said: "They have been preparing slowly, before it was to transport everyone's belongings, and Yusheng's car has enough manpower, and they have been collecting vegetables and transporting goods for a while, and each family has only some soft left, and women and children have already begun to send away, and then the Great Khan ordered to come over, and Yusheng immediately dispatched, and hundreds of carts sent the people in the city and the last bit of things away." ”

Xi Lingse pulled out the knife, Zhao and Rong's faces changed color in fright, but fortunately, Xi Lingse didn't cut him, but just slashed at the air, and he used this to consume his anger.

"Xi Ling Setaiji doesn't have to be like this." Ah Cheng calmed down instead, he said: "He Yusheng used the Han people's method of clearing the wilderness, and it is unlikely that they will bring so many people to the side wall, the time is very short, they must not go far, I guess they brought people to the military fort on the other side of the Xiaohei River." ”

Xi Lingse said: "Then immediately send troops, take down the military fort, and snatch back those Han dogs." ”

Geng Ge said: "Taiji, don't worry, these Han dogs are only worthy of farming for us, and after snatching them back, cut off the heads of those Han merchants, anyway, they will slowly have new businessmen appear." ”

Xi Lingse nodded and said: "This time there are so many people leaving, it must be the cooperation of the Han merchants and Yusheng, I will kill them all." ”

This group of Mongolian nobles were all full of murderous energy, and the merchants behind Zhao and Rong were all happy, fortunately they stayed in the city with Zhao and Rong, otherwise they would have been killed by these crazy Mongols.

"Zhao, Rong, you are very good." Xi Lingse calmed down and said to Zhao and Rong: "In the future, obedient and loyal Han merchants will be selected in the city, you are a qualified leader, and you will be called to rule all Han merchants in the future." ”

Zhao and Rong said: "This is not the time to say these words, you should quickly march into the army to exterminate the bandits of He Yusheng." ”

Zhao and Rong really hated He Yusheng, he felt that He Yusheng had destroyed the original order, caused chaos in the grassland, displaced many people, and would lose their lives because of He Yusheng.

The army continued to set off, heading towards the bank of the Xiaohei River a hundred miles away, and when it was halfway through, the Ordos Department came eleven more Taiji, they led 2,100 soldiers and more than 10,000 herdsmen, and at the same time drove a large number of livestock to follow the army, and in the north of the Mobei came seven Taiji, namely the Tushetu Khan and the Zasaktu Khan, and they brought more than 700 soldiers and more than 2,000 herdsmen.

Along the way, there are Taiji to join, at dusk Ah Cheng and others received the transmission of Bu Shitu, there are many Taiji with a soldier and herdsmen rushed to the area of the Daqing River, with the Taiji of Halashen and Karaqin to besiege the Xinghe Imperial Palace and Yusheng Military Fort, the Taiji over there were personally led by Baihong Dataiji, there are more than 30 Taiji, more than 5,000 soldiers and more than 60,000 herdsmen.

So far, 14,000 armor soldiers and nearly 100,000 herdsmen have been dispatched, Ah Cheng decided to call for 200,000 troops, and at the same time sent people to the border of the Ming Kingdom to spread the news.

On the fifth day of the dispatch from Qingcheng, the army led by Acheng Taiji and Xi Ling Se Taiji and others in the west finally arrived on the bank of the Xiaohei River.

The military fort stood on the north bank of the Xiaohei River, built along the river, and relied on the river water behind it, and the place was very narrow, and it could not be used for attack at all.

The remaining three sides are repaired to be more than three zhang high, the bottom surface is made of stones, and each side has a part that protrudes forward, Ah Cheng and others saw that there were a lot of artillery guns placed on the castle, and the muzzle of the cannon was black and hollow, and Ah Cheng and others were also a little depressed.

The circumference of the military fort is about three miles, three and a half feet high, and there is obviously the figure of the soldiers of the Yusheng merchant group behind the female wall.

Tabu Nang reported to Ah Chengyu with an ugly expression: "There is a military platform every ten miles around, and a fire road pier five miles away, all of which are already garrisoned, and they all have firearms......

Ah Cheng and the others looked very solemn, Xi Lingse didn't quite understand, looked at Zhutaiji left and right, and Geng Ge scolded: "Hangou put on this formation, just to drag it down with us." ”

"If you don't want to delay, you have to attack." Ah Cheng said: "They expected that we couldn't attack the city. ”

"This city is not easy to attack, so we will fight Xinping Fort!" Xi Lingse said: "Let's see if they are in a hurry or we are in a hurry." ”

When everyone heard this, they all turned their faces...... Ah Cheng kindly explained: "Xi Ling Setaiji doesn't know, the military fort here has been built, from the Xiaohei River to the Dahei River and then to the Xinping Fort, forming a chain, if we go south, he can directly disrupt our rear here, cut off our supplies and return routes, if the south is unfavorable, it will be difficult for our army to come back from here." ”

Gurusi said: "In the past, we could still go to Harashen to make a detour, but now there are military forts in Daqing River and Erqing River, and we have to make a detour for thousands of miles to return to Qingcheng." ”

Ah Cheng said again: "Unless we go west, go south from Ordos, but there is Yansui Town, and there is no garrison with Yusheng's industry and merchant group. ”

Xi Lingse was speechless: "Do you just watch them shrink in the castle?" ”

All Taiji looked embarrassed, and the soldiers and herdsmen around them were also speechless.

After a long time, Ah Chengfang said: "Let's send a soldier to plunder everywhere first, and cut off their supplies." ”

……

Sun Jingting and Li Zhiye, Zhao Shiwen, the two main generals, as well as many military attaches and staff officers, all stood on the city, watching the Mongols outside the city send most of the armored soldiers to cross the river to the south in a roundabout way, and their faces were full of disdain and ease.

Li Zhiye said: "The northern captives are indeed too far worse than the eastern captives, and they have no intention or determination to attack the military fort. ”

Zhao Shiwu said: "I have long known that we are building a fort, but we have no plan, do you expect us to not be able to build a fort?" ”

Many young staff officers also feel weird, so far, the Mongols' response is simply chaotic, no rules, first when building the fort because it is the spring famine season and unwilling to pay the price, and then give up in a rage, Zhou Yao killed and looted many tribes and did not have much way, but was greatly injured, the tribes had to shrink, the harassment of the border stopped, and then saw the military fort here to repair the city, all of a sudden at a loss, there was no way to deal with it.

"Beiyu is really twilight...... Li Zhiye frowned and commented: "More than ten years ago, when I was in Jizhen, it was not the current situation, they often invaded, and our border army fought to the death, now, even the first soldiers are only compared to the previous herdsmen, these Taiji are not as good as Dayan Khan, Altan Khan, Subahai and others, fried flowers are also old......"

Sun Jingting said with a smile: "Lao Li looks like this, is it any wonder that the northern captives have become powerful?" ”

Li Zhiye said: "It's good that they're all finished, I'm worried about Donglu!" ”
