Chapter 113: Will There Be Reinforcements?
If it weren't for the benefits he had just received from Fan Yongdou, Wuda would have even doubted Fan's position.
Ulju City was still crumbling yesterday, why did it change in one day?
Is this a trick of the Han Chinese?
It's not like it, how can there be a plan to risk a city?
In order to keep an eye on the defenders' every move, Uda had already asked Tanma to keep an eye on the Ulju city gate, and there was no sign of reinforcements arriving from beginning to end.
What the hell is going on in the city?
Uda was full of doubts.
The fierce battle at the head of Ulju City is still continuing, and until now, there are figures of melee between the enemy and us everywhere.
According to common sense, the Jurchen sergeant successfully climbed to the top of the city, which should be very satisfactory to Wuda, but his face was cloudy, and he looked very unhappy.
Zhenglan Banner has not been liked by Huang Taiji because of Abatai, and if he fails to achieve satisfactory results this time, the commanders of the various ministries will definitely be punished.
Wuda is secretly ruthless, he must not become a sinner of the blue flag, Ulju City, must be captured!
Time passed little by little, and after a long time, Dugin at the head of the city still did not successfully take the city.
Not right!
Uda's face was gloomy, "How many soldiers and horses are there in the city?" ”
Obviously, Uda realized the changes in the Ulju army and began to face up to his opponent.
There are not too many surprises in the Fan family, the Jurchens are notoriously ruthless, once the city is broken, the villagers will inevitably die, in this case, it is reasonable for the defenders to fight to the death.
"Zhu Jixun in the city originally had 1,500 soldiers, but yesterday it had been lost by 30%, according to reason, it should not be more than 1,000 people now, but recently, a large number of villagers have entered the city, if they also join the battle, thousands more will be able to come out immediately."
"You mean that the townsfolk of the city have also joined the war?"
"Yes, this is the only way to explain why the army has been unable to capture Ulju for a long time."
Indeed, if there were no villagers to help the war, the Ming army would definitely not be able to hold out for so long.
At this time, Uda missed Bogut's military horse very much, but he had just reprimanded Bogut for his incompetence, and if he asked him to pull down his face and ask Bogut to return at this time, wouldn't he become a laughing stock?
Full of anger and nowhere to vent, Wuda was in a very bad mood: "It's no wonder that Dachun, a waste who has not done enough to succeed and more than enough to lose, in vain I believe in him so much, but he died in the hands of a small inspector, and he also involved me to divide my troops for revenge!" ”
Fan's disciples knew that Wuda was angry with others.
The war is unfavorable, and there must be a scapegoat.
Dachun is dead, Bogut is defeated, is there a more suitable scapegoat than them?
In order to take the city, Uda has used all his strength, except for a few guards beside him, all the reserve men and horses have been sent to the front.
The battle at the head of the city was not clear for a moment, but more and more Jurchen soldiers climbed to the head of the city,
If it were elsewhere, the Ming army would have fled a long time ago, and it would never have lasted so long.
However, hundreds of Jurchen warriors rushed to the city, but the battle was still not over.
The sound of tragic fighting resounded in the sky, when did the Han people become so brave?
What the hell is going on?
For Uda, the longer the battle lasted, the more sergeants were lost.
I thought that after the army set foot on the city, it would not take a stick of incense to end the battle, but who would have thought that Wuda waited for one stick of incense after another, but still failed to wait for the good news to come.
In Ulzhou City, Zhu Jixun was covered in blood, he always stood at the forefront and never retreated.
Wei Yuan mobilized a thousand young people, and it was their timely appearance that stopped the decline of the city, otherwise, Zhu Jixun would have been unable to hold on.
"My lord, the Tartars are brave, I'm afraid this Ulzhou City will be lost."
No, Ulju must not be lost!
In order to boost morale, Wei Yuan panicked against his will, "What are you afraid of, reinforcements are coming, as long as you resist for a while, the Tartars will retreat."
"We still have reinforcements? Is it the soldiers and horses of the Wanquan Division or the Great Peer Division? ”
Wei Yuan pretended to be calm and said: "It's Wang Teng's soldiers and horses of Guangling County."
"But Wang Teng, who killed the king's ministers and didn't get muddy?"
"This is the person"
"Haha, if this person comes, I will be saved in Ulzhou!"
These days, Wang Teng's deeds have spread all over Ulzhou, and many generals have heard of this magical inspection!
Now that I heard that Wang Teng came to help, the morale of the defenders was greatly boosted.
Wei Yuan's heart was gloomy, before the siege of the Tartars, he did send a messenger to ask Wang Teng for help, but he didn't know whether Wang Teng would send troops to help.
The city of Ulju won't last long, and once the villagers have shed their blood, the Tartars will surely go on a rampage!
Wang Teng, will you come?
Dinghe Fort, Wang Teng waited until the sun rose to three poles and did not wait for the soldiers and horses of the Tartars, just when he was a little hesitant, a fast horse galloped over.
The archers at the head of the city were about to shoot him, but Wang Teng saw the familiar military robes.
This is the Ming Cavalry!
"Stop, it's your own family!"
It didn't take long for the knight to come to the outside of Dinghe Fort, "Where is the king's inspection?" ”
"Who are you?"
"I am a junior colonel under the command of Zhu Jixun, the commander of Ulzhou, and I came to ask for help on the order of Wei Yuan."
"Am I Wang Teng? What happened in Ulju? ”
"The Tartar soldiers are besieging Ulzhou, please send troops to help"
"How many soldiers and horses are there in the Tartars?"
"It should be fifteen hundred people away"
There are only 200 soldiers in the city, how can they help?
Before Wang Teng could speak, Huang Hu dissuaded: "Ulzhou is a fire pit, my lord, you can't jump!" ”
Tong has always thought so, "Yes, 1,500 Tartars, even if we go, it will be useless, besides, this place is 100 miles away from Ulzhou, how can we be sure that the Tartars have not broken the city?" ”
Wang Teng frowned, "Lord Wei has the grace of knowing me, he is in danger, how can I stand by and watch?" ”
It is a good thing to repay kindness, but if you act blindly, you will only lose your life.
Huang Hu and the others were all thinking about how to persuade Wang Teng.
After waiting for so long, the Ming army colonel outside the city was already a little impatient, "Success or not, give a quasi-word, Ulzhou is in a hurry, and I am going back to the city to kill the Tartars!" ”
This person didn't take Wang Teng in his eyes at all, and wanted to go into battle to fight.
A messenger is still like this, how can Wang Teng, who is deeply favored by Wei Yuan, stay out of the matter?
After a while, Wang Teng made a decision, "You stay and guard the fort, and I will go to Ulzhou."
"Think twice, the fort is short of troops, once the troops are divided, it is very likely that they will be taken advantage of by the Tartars."
"The Tartar soldiers are strong and strong, and the village warriors have only been in the army for a few months, how can they be their opponents? My lord, don't do it! ”
Wang Teng sighed deeply, "I have made up my mind, don't worry, this time I will only bring ten knights, it will not affect the military strength in the fort, Huang Hu, Huang Degong, you guard Dinghe Fort, wait for me to come back."
Ten knights dare to go to Ulzhou, is Wang Teng crazy?
