Qi Jing is also waiting for the snow to stop, he is betting that Arutai will definitely attack, not retreat, and his and Qi Yu's gambling money is whoever loses and returns to Jingshi will invite a banquet. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although it is shameless for two people to gamble on the major events of war, it is also a good way to decompress.

Both of them hoped that Arutai would choose to attack the Great Wall, so that Daning would not be in danger, and Chunsheng and his brothers from the Blue Dragon Society might be able to make a bigger spark in Tartary.

Qi Yu threw himself to the ground with Qi Jing's five bodies, who would have thought that Qi Jing was fighting with the enemy on the other side, but he had already entered the enemy's interior.

If Arutai is already mired in an offensive and defensive battle with himself at that time and cannot get out, and is in a dilemma, then there will definitely be mistakes in the decision-making of the war.

In a rapidly changing battlefield, one mistake is the annihilation of the entire army.

――――

When the snow finally stopped, the outer walls of the Great Wall were covered with a layer of head-thick ice, the result of the efforts of the soldiers day and night.

In fact, there is no need for Arutai to follow Qi Jinghua on the Great Wall, he can bypass the Great Wall, and he can break through in a weak place in a random area and drive straight down, his subordinates are all cavalry, and the Ming border army and the guards in various places can't catch up with him at all.

But this is not the effect that Arutai wants, the method of bypassing the Great Wall, which his ancestors have used countless times, and this time he wants an unprecedented victory.

He wanted to break through the Great Wall, which no one had ever breached, cross the Great Wall to kill the Ming Dynasty, and then kill it again, so that no one in the Tatars would dare to oppose him.

There is another reason, that is, it is impossible for Qijing to give himself the opportunity to bypass the Great Wall and directly attack the mainland.

Of course, Qi Jing would not give him this opportunity, Qi Jing had already dispatched guards from all over the north, firmly guarding every location that was not covered by the Great Wall, and each location was guarded by two, or even three.

In this way, even if Arutai really chooses to attack one of these places, it can delay until reinforcements arrive.

But Qi Jing was also gambling in doing so, betting on Arutaihui's choice to break through the Great Wall and bring back the Tatars to calm the flames that were not in his favor.

Fortunately, Qi Jing won the bet.

The first snow in 1404 finally stopped.

The next day, Arutai's army was slowly marching in the direction of the Great Wall, but everyone was on foot.

Qi Jing stood at the head of the city, holding binoculars and watching the Tatars take strange things and compact the snow surface leading to the Great Wall.

"Arutai is also a hero!" Qi Jing came out of nowhere, and Chen Yun and Qi Yu were very puzzled.

Qi Jing put down the binoculars and laughed self-deprecatingly, "Only Xiaoxiong will choose to let go of his hands and feet and give it a go when it is difficult, if this situation is put on me, my first choice is to withdraw the troops immediately." Having already lost 50,000 people, what's the use of fighting again? It is better to leave enough strength to deal with domestic problems. ”

Qi Yu shook his head when he heard Qi Jing say this, "You think like this now, but if it really happens, it's not certain what you will do." ”

"The identities of you and Arutai are fundamentally different, Arutai is actually the actual Great Khan of Tatar, and you are just a little marquis, your task is to ensure that the Ming Dynasty will last forever, and Arutai can do whatever he wants, he has nothing to worry about, the existence and destruction of Tatar has little impact on him, even if there is no Tatar, Arutai can also build another 'Tatar' at will."

Qi Yu's words made Qi Jing nod, when Arutai attacked the Great Wall, it did make Qi Jing have a trace of admiration for Arutai, and also a trace of shame for his behavior, this kind of emotion is very inappropriate for the commander of the first army.

But Qi Jing couldn't help but think that he should have fought with Arutai in the form of a gentleman's battle, but he wanted to use such means to win.

Seeing Qi Jing's entanglement, Qi Yu put his hand on Qi Jing's shoulder and said, "When I first joined the army, I was still a small soldier, and my captain told us at that time that nothing is good on the battlefield, and only survival is ability." On the battlefield, to see whether a general is strong or not, it is not to see how many people he has killed, but to see how many victories he has won, and how many stubbles his soldiers have changed. ”

"War is not just talk on paper, Qi Jing look at these young cheeks in front of you, you are their commander, in addition to winning the battle, should you also be responsible for their lives?"

"Sun Tzu's Art of War says that it is the best policy to surrender without a fight." Qi Yu patted Qi Jing's shoulder, Qi Jing's confusion, he Qi Yu had also had, and he had also encountered enemies that he admired, and his means of winning were rarely to face the enemy in a dignified manner, which also made Qi Yu feel guilty.

But thinking that although he used a method that might be shameless, his soldiers did not know how many people died.

War has a bottom line, but there is no principle, and in war, you can use all the means at your disposal. It is precisely because of this that war can show the good and evil of human nature.

The speed of the Tartars was very fast, and although many Tartar corpses were thrown under the Great Wall in order to compact the snow, the Ming army shot them with bows and arrows was finally cleared.

Arutai didn't bring any siege equipment this time, and could only build the simplest ladder for combat, but unfortunately, this kind of thing is a bit backward for now.

Arutai doesn't care, even if he takes human lives to fill it, he has to take down the Great Wall.

Because the latest news from Tatar is very unfavorable to him, including the frequent visits of some tribal leaders to the ghost Lichi, as well as the widespread spread within Tatar that he betrayed 50,000 troops to the Ming army, and I don't know who spread the news that he was ashamed to take the Great Wall for Tatar.

The rumors spread more and more, forcing Arutai to take the Great Wall in order to silence everyone's mouths, if he can't take the Great Wall, he will return to Tatar now, what kind of discussion will he face, Arutai does not dare to think.

This is not the first siege battle that Qi Jing has encountered, at the beginning of Zhu Di's army, he was the first to kill on the wall of Juyongguan, Qi Jing remembered very clearly, if he hadn't slipped on the intestines of the person who was blown up, he would have been pierced by a crossbow arrow on the door of his head.

Last time, I was the besieging side, but this time I was the defender, which was a lot easier, especially with a lot of bows and crossbows. 、

But there were still casualties, and the Tartars' archery skills were also very good. Many Ming soldiers were shot as soon as they came up, and then fell from the wall or fell to the ground on their backs, at which point someone else would take his place. (To be continued.) )
