Chapter 100: The First Siege
"Woo woo, woo woo"
The vast sound of the horn of the bull horn continued to sound on the grassland, and along with the sound of the horn, there were countless shouts of killing.
Yanmen Pass is said to be a city pass, but it is not like the general city in the mainland, it is a four-sided whole, but a part of the ancient Great Wall.
Its siege was built along the hill and had a circumference of more than 5 kilometers. The southern end of the wall is connected to the east and west wings of the castle, and to the north it extends along the ridge to the valley floor, where a gate is built. Outside the siege, there are 3 large stone walls and 25 small stone walls, which act as barriers.
Therefore, under this ingenious design, although there are more than 50,000 elite soldiers in the Tumut Division, there are less than 3,000 people who can really participate in the attack.
At this time, looking at the spectacular situation of the swarming and galloping horses under the city, Feng Laohu stood on the city pass, and couldn't help but sigh and said, "I can't think of it, I haven't seen it for many years, the last time I saw such a spectacular scene, it was more than ten years ago, when Lin Dan Khan, at that time, I was just a small flag, under my Lao Tzu, as a personal soldier."
Say you don't believe it, at that time, when I was more than ten years old, I was almost scared to pee when I saw this huge momentum, but my Lao Tzu laughed out loud and kicked me hard on the ass, and then scolded, there are no eggs, it's really a shame for our old Feng family, don't look at them making a big fuss below, but the fart is useless, and they still have to honestly send Lao Tzu to death after a while. ”
Hearing Feng Laohu's words, Shi Lei felt a burst of doubt in his heart, and suddenly asked, "Oh, what's going on, is there any secret?" ”
As soon as Shi Lei's words were finished, Feng Laohu said with a mysterious face, "Don't worry, you'll see it soon, okay, let's hide for a while, the province will be injured by mistake." ”
As soon as Feng Laohu's words were finished, he saw a huge shield on his head, and he was immediately pulled by Feng Laohu to hide behind the heavy wall battlements, and soon, Shi Lei heard a jingling sound, taking advantage of the chaos, he secretly glanced at the city, and then found that the original Mongolians who were rushing towards here just now stopped at the city not far away, bending their bows and arrows to shoot arrows at the top of the city?
And under the cover of these Mongol bows and arrows, I saw a pair of Mongols rushing from behind, and on their shoulders carried a simple ladder.
Seeing this, when Shi Lei was puzzled, Feng Laohu said proudly, "See, no matter how powerful they are outside, what invincible cavalry, but under my Yanmen Pass, they can only step on the corpses step by step, there are not enough corpses, if they want to come to my Yanmen Pass, they can't even touch the city wall." ”
"Someone, the crossbow arrows are aimed at me, where there are many people, shoot them for me, take this opportunity to practice my head." As soon as Feng Laohu finished speaking to Shi Lei, he shouted loudly to the soldiers around him.
Because the Tumuts are too far away, the entire Yanmen Pass, except for the powerful crossbow arrows, there is no weapon that can hit so far, as for the legendary powerful artillery, because of the special terrain of the Yanmen Pass, it can't exert much power, so no one uses it.
Hearing this, Shi Lei finally understood why when he first saw Feng Laohu, although he was anxious, he was not too afraid, with a solid castle like Yanmen Pass, Feng Laohu did have enough confidence, and these confidence was indeed created by the Feng Laohu family, the defenders of Yanmen Pass, and even all the border soldiers with countless blood, thinking of this, Shi Lei's heart was full of respect for Feng Laohu, not to mention anything else, just for their family's countless years of sticking to the border pass, it is worthy of everyone's respect.
"Brother Feng, do you say that since they know that this Yanmen Pass is so difficult to attack, they haven't thought of any other way?" Shi Lei asked as he watched Feng Laohu skillfully command his subordinates to release crossbow arrows.
"Hahaha, why not, for so many years, in order to defeat my Yanmen Pass, they have used all methods, but it still doesn't work, there is only one way, that is, four attacks, not to mention anything else, do you know why the Mongols were able to capture Yanmen Pass?
It was because they used the return cannon, and used that thing to attack the Yanmen Pass for more than ten days, and in the end, the entire city wall was completely submerged by the boulder, in addition, there were only less than 10,000 defenders in the city at that time, so in this case, those Tartars were breached, but now, these Mongolian Tartars are not the time when they were strong in the past, not to mention any new methods, even the return cannon, they may not necessarily have it, so if they want to capture my Yanmen Pass, there is no other way than to use the corpse pile. Feng Laohu said.
Feng Laohu's words made Shi Lei's heart suddenly feel relaxed for a long time, to be honest, before he came, he was still very helpless in his heart, after all, the other party has more than 50,000 elites, with less than 10,000 troops on his side, if he resists, but seeing these today, his original worries have been put down for more than half, as long as there is a wild goose gate closed, he can easily stop the other party.
Standing in the distance, looking at the Yanmen Pass in the fierce battle, the faces of Halbat and all the Tumut elders were gloomy and terrible, looking at the soldiers who kept falling to the ground, their hearts were dripping blood, you know, these warriors are all young and strong, it is precisely because of their existence that the Tumut Department can continue, each of them is a precious treasure of the tribe, and now, they are constantly falling here, how can they not feel pain.
"Patriarch, we can't go on like this, what Lin Dan Khan couldn't accomplish back then, even if we fight all the warriors in the tribe, I'm afraid we won't be able to defeat Yanmen Pass."
After seeing another group of tribal warriors being shot by the arrows and crossbows at the head of Yanmen Pass, and thus fell on the way to charge, a middle-aged man jumped out and shouted loudly.
"Hai Rigu, what do you want to do, do you want to rebel, haven't we all attacked Chengguan like this for so many years, what do you mean by jumping out and shouting now." Seeing the middle-aged man who jumped out, Halbat couldn't help but scream.
The middle-aged man Hai Rigu, during the reign of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, was once named the owner of the Left Banner by the Manchus, and he can be regarded as one of the few big names in the Tumut Department, and he is also one of the few people in the tribe who can compete with Halbat, in addition, he is different from Halbat in that he is very loyal to the Manchus, this time he originally did not agree to go south, but in order to save his life, he had to agree with the suggestions of Halbat and others.
"Patriarch, I don't want to rebel, but I can't watch the warriors of our tribe die in vain, you know, they are all the wealth of our tribe, if they are lost like this, what will our tribe do in the future, if there is no them, even if we get the Hetao Plain, how can we control it." After hearing Halbat's words, Hairigu said with the same sternness.
Hearing Hai Rigu's words, some elders nodded secretly, expressing their agreement with his words, you know, in the harsh environment of the grassland, only strong strength can represent everything, and where does the strength come from, population, warriors, only if there are more warriors who can fight and fight, it represents strength.
Seeing the expressions of the elders, although Halbat was extremely angry in his heart, he also knew that he couldn't have an argument with Hairigu here, otherwise, he would definitely suffer.
Thinking of this, Halbat could only helplessly say to the guards beside him, "Come on, collect the troops." ”
With another rapid sound of horns, the Tumut soldiers who were originally thinking about the Yanmen Pass swarming quickly retreated into the distance, seeing this scene, Shi Lei couldn't help laughing, and the Tumut people finally couldn't help but stop.
However, when he saw Feng Laohu on the side, he couldn't help but ask, "Brother Feng, is there anything wrong?" ”
"I don't know, but it always feels weird, in the past, these Mongols didn't care about human life at all, why did they just start attacking today, and suddenly retreated." Feng Laohu said suspiciously.
Hearing Feng Laohu's words, Shi Lei's heart was also suddenly excited, there was a news from the Gru of the Su and Anhui Ministry, he knew that this time the Tumut Department went south to the Hetao Plain, but with the idea that if he didn't succeed, he would become a benevolent, and it was impossible to change his mind for such a loss, so saying, their sudden retreat must have had other changes, thinking of this, Shi Lei's heart couldn't help but become heavy again.
"You have all seen today's events, let's talk about it, in addition to the hard attack, what good ways do you have to take Yanmen Pass, Hai Rigu, you are the one who picked the matter, you can tell me what you think!" After returning to the tribe, Halbat took the elders and sat in the big tent and asked.
Hearing Halbat ask himself, Hai Rigu grinned and said, "I can't help it, but I know that I can't let the tribal warriors die in vain, if so, we might as well continue to join the Manchus, after all, although we also lost at that time, it is better than the entire tribe perishing." ”
"You, I'll kill you, you bastard who betrayed the Immortal Heavens." After hearing Hai Rigu's words, Halbat pulled out the scimitar at his waist and walked towards Hai Rigu with red eyes.
Although many elders were a little disdainful of Hai Rigu's words just now, they still got up to stop Halbat's appearance, after all, now they are all grasshoppers on a rope, and now there is civil strife, it is self-defeating.
Ask for collections, ask for recommendations, and the second is more.
