At this time, outside the south gate, facing the soft and gentle sunshine of the morning, on the west side of the Houjin camp, densely packed, snow droplets splashed, there were tens of thousands of war horses, mules and horses, cattle, sheep and livestock, gathering towards the Houjin camp.

The empty snow that was originally lonely has become as busy as a vegetable market.

Even if the small city of the Ming army is two and a half miles away, you can still hear the loud shouts of people and the low roars and wails of livestock.

At the head of the city, all the generals rushed over after hearing the news and carefully observed the situation on the opposite side.

Shu Luohuan was very familiar with the tribal strength here, looked at it for a while, counted the flags, and hurriedly reported to Li Yuanqing: "Master, this should be the arrival of Houjin's tribal reinforcements." There are almost 2,000 people in Yehebu, more than 1,000 Mongols, more than 1,000 in Haixi, and less than 1,000 in the wild and northern mountains. There are almost 5,000 people on the scale. ”

Next to him, Duan Xiliang couldn't help but sneer, "Dog Tartar, it's good to come!" After being idle for more than a month, the children are worried that there is no place to move! ”

Kong Youde was also very excited, and he smiled, "Dog Tartar still doesn't have a long memory!" This is looking for someone to be a meat shield! ”

"What about looking for a meat shield? Are we still afraid of these dog tartars? Come and kill one Lao Tzu, come and kill one pair of two Lao Tzu! Ha ha! ”

"What Shun Ziye said is right! More than 20,000 dog Tartars are still looking for reinforcements, they are weak-hearted! ”

“……”

The generals of Shunzi, Li Sansheng, and Huang Guoshan were also very excited, they had been tossed by this ghost weather and storm for so long, and they had long been a little impatient.

Xu Heizi was extremely calm, he was older, and he had more considerations, and reported to Li Yuanqing in a low voice: "General, the Tatars must have promised great benefits by recruiting these tribes over." They must be well prepared, we must be on guard! ”

Li Yuanqing nodded lightly.

After fighting Houjin for so long, he was already very familiar with Houjin's combat style.

Small families, born in white mountains and black waters, they also have a strong slavery characteristic, or rather, a character like a beast.

When they encounter something weaker than them, they will pounce like hungry wolves, tearing their prey to pieces, eager to swallow even the bones and slag.

But it is a completely different situation to meet someone who is stronger than them, or who cannot eat a bite, that can make them feel pain and stab their minions.

Tailwind.

According to the strength of Houjin at this time, he may really be invincible in the world.

But once the wind is headwinded, these dog tartars will scatter like mad dogs, and they are not one at all.

However, at this time, the two sides have been in a stalemate for more than a month, the main force of Houjin is coming in a hurry, the consumption of food and salary must have been very much, and the weather is too bad, their logistics supply line must not be smooth, and these Houjin magnates must not want to let this battle drag on any longer.

"Strengthen the sentinel guards and consolidate the fortifications of the defensive line. On this day, there are already signs of warming, and you must not be careless, and you must firmly monitor the movements of the main force of Houjin. ”

Li Yuanqing glanced around and ordered in a deep voice.

"Yes!" The generals did not dare to slack off, and knelt on the ground and kowtowed to say yes.

It's just that although the minions of the tribes have arrived, these tribes are in disarray, and it will take a few more days to integrate them.

Li Yuanqing also had enough time to continue to improve the fortifications in the city.

…………

In the blink of an eye, three days have passed, and the time has come to the fifth day of the second month of the fourth year of Daming weather.

Early in the morning, there was a move in the direction of Houjin camp.

Several gates of the camp were wide open, and there were tens of thousands of troops, pouring out of the camp and gathering in the distance, like a dark cloud covering the sky.

Ahead, nearly a hundred cowhide chariots have been pushed to the front.

It can be seen that this should only be their temporary system, the chariot is very simple, it should be all new wood, only the cowhide is older, but it seems to be only one layer, under the cold wind of hunting, swaying with the wind.

At this time, the Ming army city was strengthened and heightened.

Although there are many inconveniences in the ice and snow days, there is the foundation of the city, and it is very simple to improve the fortifications.

The simplest is to add a layer of snow to the city wall, sprinkle some soil and sand, and then pour cold water on it, it will not take half an hour, the city wall can be heightened and thickened by half a meter, and it is extremely strong, there is the presence of soil and sand, and it can also be anti-slip to prevent children from slipping on it.

The walls of the Ming army were extremely thick and the foundation was very compact, and now the longitudinal width has expanded to nearly 30 steps, and the height has almost reached more than 15 meters.

Of course, such an ice city is cutting corners after all, and it is far from being comparable to the big cities in Liaodi and Guannai.

The most direct point is that the ice is too brittle, and I am very afraid of the deterrence of gunpowder, especially the siege explosive package of the Changsheng Battalion, once it is exploded, it is easy to cause collapse and trigger a chain reaction.

But Hou Jin is obviously still a blank slate in this field, and it is not enough to pose a mortal threat to the sons and daughters of the Immortal Camp.

Li Yuanqing still firmly grasped the initiative in defending the city.

Soon, the Houjin army began to move, and there were almost two or three thousand tribal minions, pushing cowhide chariots, under the cover of sword and shield men and archers, and began to push towards the city.

Behind them, there are probably six or seven elites of Niu Lu who are waiting for the battle, looking at the flags, the red flag, the blue flag, the white flag, the red flag, and the blue flag, among them, there are two Niu Lu in the red flag, and most of the yellow flags are inlaid, and the number is almost close to 3,000.

"Dog Tartar, it's finally coming!"

On the side, Kong Youde couldn't help but take a sip and stared straight at the Houjin battle array not far away, with a fierce light in his eyes.

Junzi was also gearing up, and said with a smile: "It's a good time!" It's just a good time to test the tune of the birds these days. It's not that easy to imagine the last time you took advantage of a loophole! ”

Before setting off from Changsheng Island, Li Yuanqing brought ten craftsmen from the blacksmith shop with him, in order to have a buffer in this harsh terrain.

Last time, there was a lesson from Du Du, these days, Shunzi has not been idle, and has been camping, how to make the bird gun in this weather, it can also maintain its power.

Seeing Houjin's figure gradually moving from far to near like an ant, Li Yuanqing's heart relaxed.

It's like the darkness before dawn.

The siege of Houjin is not terrible, whether it is Li Yuanqing or his sons, they have long been accustomed to the intensity of the battle with Houjin.

The two sides have been as consumed as before, after all, this is not the native of the Immortal Camp, which will make the sons and daughters suffer, even unbearable.

"Let's follow the process! Don't let them push over so easily! Li Yuanqing smiled and gave the order.

He also wants to see what new tricks the post-gold magnates are going to play this time.

The sons and daughters of the Changsheng Battalion have already had sufficient experience in defending the city, and with Li Yuanqing's order, the heads of the various departments will quickly return to their respective commands to prepare.

Soon, the birdmen were in place, the pikemen were in place, and the sword and shield soldiers were in place.

Shu Luohuan and the minions of the tribe also went to the inner wall to stand by at any time, waiting for the arrival of war.

Not far away, as the sun rose to the eastern sky, about nine o'clock, the forward minions of Houjin had already pushed the cowhide chariot to 100 paces below the city.

Relying on the snow walls built by the original servants of the Du Du Division, they strengthened and heightened them one after another, built new fortifications, connected them together, and slowly advanced towards the city.

They were obviously very familiar with the Ming army's bird-gunned soldiers, and they were not slow, the more they advanced, the slower they became, and they were always hovering outside the shooting range of the bird-gunned soldiers.

An hour passed, about 11 o'clock, and the fortifications of Houjin had been pushed to seventy steps, dense and very steady.

The cowhide chariots were pushed forward to cover the front, and the slaves continued to push forward behind the cowhide chariots, piling up layers of snow.

"General, do you want to open the gun?"

The bird soldier is the frontier, and Junzi is beside Li Yuanqing, and he asked cautiously.

Li Yuanqing shook his head slowly.

He had already seen that Dai Shan wanted to fight steadily and gradually encroach on his own space. If you don't give him a little benefit, I'm afraid it will be difficult to attract his main force.

"There's no hurry. Let's talk about it until fifty steps. ”

"Yes." Junko hurriedly nodded.

Soon, the army of Tartar slaves had pushed the line to within fifty paces of the city.

Although the Ming army did not open fire at the head of the city, they were more cautious and almost never dared to show their heads behind the cowhide chariots.

Behind them, the elite main force of Houjin's six or seven Niu Lu also pushed behind the 100-step snow wall, ready to stand by at any time.

Houjin's snow wall fortifications pushed further and further, and had already reached within fifty paces.

Junzi was already a little anxious, and frequently looked at Li Yuanqing beside him, waiting for Li Yuanqing's order.

Li Yuanqing was not in a hurry, moved his neck slightly, and made a 'click' sound.

Dai Shan fought steadily, and forced the power of the bird soldiers to the extreme.

Although the stockpiles of bird guns and pellets in the city are quite sufficient, firing now is just consuming ammunition for no reason, and it is difficult to deal a real blow to these Tartar minions and slaves.

Li Yuanqing thought for a while, and simply gave up the offensive of the bird soldiers, and waved his hand to Shunzi and said: "The bird soldiers retreat, and the sword and shield soldiers come up." Let them come! ”

"Huh?"

Shunzi was stunned, but Li Yuanqing's order was in wartime, how could he dare to disobey it? Busy respectfully said yes, and unwillingly ordered his bird soldiers to stand back.

Soon, the sword and shield soldiers came up to guard against the Houjin army's arrow rain attack, and the pikemen waited behind them.

Under the city, there was no feeling of the Ming army's bird chirping, and these Tartar slaves were a little bolder, and the speed of advance was accelerated.

They relied on the stairs that had been piled up in the Dudu Department before, quickly stabilized and reinforced, and reconnected the stairs.

However, the city of the Ming army has been heightened, and at the top of the stairs, someone must come up to pile it.

Junko couldn't help it a little, "General, let the bird soldiers fight." At such a distance, kill these dogs. ”

The stairs were slippery, just a big easy slope, but these Tartar slaves were not stupid, they punctured the bags of sand that they had prepared long ago, spread them with snow, and sprinkled them with sand.

Soon, in just a few minutes, the sand was frozen on the snow and would not slip again.

Dozens of Tartars struggled to push several cowhide chariots up the slope, and the slaves behind them continued to pile up snow in front of them, trying to connect the top of the stairs with the head of the city.

The time had reached about 12 o'clock at noon, and the cowhide chariot had been pushed under the noses of the Ming army, but Li Yuanqing's mouth showed a hint of a relaxed smile, and he turned his head to Shunzi and said: "The bird soldiers stand behind the pikemen, and they will fight when they come up!" ”
