After persuading Tang Feiyun, Weiss rode to the city gate alone and shouted, "Lao Liu, Lao Tzu has been out of the city for so long, and he doesn't even have to drink saliva." It's good for you kid, you play with women in the city behind closed doors, Lao Tzu must tell my sister-in-law about this! ”

"Where did Lao Tzu play with women?" On the city tower, Liu Wei saw Wei Si's calm expression, and his previous worries were swept away, but when he heard this Wei Si was going to sue him, his face darkened again.

Wei Si saw that Liu Wei's face sank like water, and continued to joke, "You damn it, if you don't open the door, aren't you afraid that Lao Tzu will go in and help your sister-in-law collect evidence?" ”

"Hahaha!" Liu Wei's fear of his wife is well known in his army, but no one who does not open his eyes to raise it in front of him in public, and only Weis, who is about the same identity as Liu Wei, dares to expose his shortcomings in public. Hearing Weiss's ridicule in person, many of the soldiers of Liu Weisuo's department who were guarding the city couldn't hold back their laughter.

Liu Wei, whose face was dull, was afraid that Wei Si would shout something like a moth, waved his hand, and said impatiently, "Open the door!" ”

The east gate of Chengde slowly opened, and the guard general Liu Wei personally led dozens of middle- and lower-level officers out of the city to greet them.

Weiss waved behind him, causing his team to slowly enter the city, dismounting himself and slowly walking towards Liu Wei.

"Captain Liu, I haven't lost a lot of weight in a day!" Weiss quipped.

Although Liu Wei is very disgusted with the fact that Weiss has been pestering "afraid of his wife" today, it is really not good not to answer, otherwise if there are rumors that spread, his reputation will be small, and he will be cleaned up by the tigress at home.

At the moment, he returned the salute with his fists, and said with a smile, "Commander Wei has worked hard, and this time he went out of the city to pursue is really a great achievement." Liu didn't stop in the city, collecting prisoners, collecting fish that slipped through the net, and he was so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground! But compared to the merits of Regiment Commander Wei, it is a small thing, this is not Liu Mou has prepared thin wine in the city, shouted all the officers to celebrate together, and hopes that Regiment Commander Wei will appreciate his face! ”

"Commander Liu is polite, now there are only two regiments in Rehe, we are now grasshoppers on a rope, I attack you and defend, what is the difference between you and me?"

"Hehehe, brothers have worked hard all the way, let's rest well first, and then talk about things! Please! Liu Wei knew that his subordinates were not good at pursuit, and this Weiss was not a small role, and his family was constantly involved with the high-level officials of Beiyang.

"Please!" Weiss would have liked to get all the officers in the city together.

Liu Wei was happy on his face, but privately sent someone to count the number of Weiss troops, looking at the familiar faces, there were many of them hanging colors, and the number of people was also a lot less, but how could there be no losses in the war. Liu Wei, who did not notice anything unusual at all, and had all his doubts, took his henchmen and led Wei Si and other officers to a large restaurant in the city to eat and drink, and as for the two thousand men and horses and a group of prisoners under his command, they slowly entered the city, and under the guidance of Liu Wei's subordinates, they went to the southeast corner of the city to settle down.

The 1,000 Fengjun prisoners also continued to be guarded by Weiss's personnel, after all, Liu Wei thought that this was the spoils that Weiss had obtained after paying a certain price, and if he took the liberty of putting them under his care, it would inevitably be suspected of robbing the military merits.

At this moment, the military management in Chengde City has been implemented, the road is depressed, everyone rode horses but walked a soak of urine, Liu Wei and the seven or eight officers beside him, took Weiss and them to a high-end restaurant.

Liu Wei was very happy with the arrival of Weiss's 2,000-strong main group. Now on the territory of Rehe, there are only two regiments of the two of them, because the direct army is slightly inferior to the Feng army in terms of strength, when pursuing the Feng army, part of the troops must be stationed, part of the troops will be pursued, and the guide zhì troops will be strict and insufficient, which will be a large number of direct troops are gathered in Shanhaiguan and other places, ready to defeat the remnants of the main force of the Feng army, where will they take care of this remote area of Rehe.

And Liu Wei would never have imagined that in just one day, Weiss had become the commander of the Mongolian army in charge of the surrendered direct army.

On the third day of the next day, "Commander Wei, Commander Liu has an urgent military situation, please go to Dongcheng Tower to talk about it!" One of Liu Wei's heralds ran out of breath to Weiss's barracks.

"Sure enough!" Above the tower, Weiss carried a telescope to look out, and outside the tower was the Mongol cavalry all over the mountains.

"I haven't seen so many Mongolian cavalry in years! Brother Wei, it seems that it is still the former Qing Dynasty, and Mongolia can gather so many horse teams! Glancing at Liu Wei, Weiss said, "Yes! It's really a matter of the former Qing Dynasty.,Some time ago, I heard that Zhang Huzi recruited the Mongolian Chechen Khan.,Now it seems that the outside of the city is their team.。 ”

"Little brother, I heard that this Chechen Khan defeated a division of the Soviet Russian army in the north, and his combat power is quite good!" Liu Wei said with a smile.

Wei Si raised his eyebrows, "Why Lao Liu, do you want to use the agitation method to let Lao Tzu take people out of the city to fight them?" ”

"Of course not!" Seeing so many Mongolian cavalry, Liu Wei's first thought was to defend to the death, how could there be any reason to go out of the city to fight.

Wei Si guessed what he was thinking, so he said, "Lao Liu, you're not going to defend again!" There are tens of thousands of people on the other side, and the combined soldiers of the two of us are still not enough to stand on this city wall! If I really decide to go out of the city to fight, then I can still take advantage of it! ”

"Infantry vs. cavalry? Brother Wei, you haven't woken up yet? Liu Wei shook his head into a rattle when he heard this, "Chengde has a strong city wall and a moat, can those cavalry fly?" Don't worry, as long as we are careful, they will naturally retreat if they don't have enough food for a long time! ”

Weiss continued, "I know all of what you said, and what I want to say is that if you go out of the city to stop them in the area of the moat, if you let them kill them lightly, then they will know all about our reality and reality. ”

"So? It makes sense, if the Mongol cavalry is allowed to get close to the city wall, then it will be even more obvious that we are undermanned. Now that they are delayed in attacking, it is estimated that they can't figure out our bottom line. Liu Wei touched his chin and calculated.

However, thinking of the candidate who went out of the city to block the attack, he looked up and saw Wei Si's tired face, thinking that the other party had been fighting outside for several days in a row, and the loss was not small, if he called the other party out at this time, he would be a little unkind.

Liu Wei turned his head to look at the Mongolian army in the distance outside the city, his face was ruthless, and he said in a deep voice, "Since they are afraid that there is a large army in our city, then let me go out of the city to meet them." Everything in the city will be handed over to Brother Wei. ”

"Then wait to hear the good news from Captain Liu!" Weiss clenched his fists and squeezed out a smile.

When Timur led 20,000 Mongol troops to Chengde, the defender Liu Wei had already led more than 1,000 soldiers, carrying sacks and hoes, to set up improvised trenches under the city.

Looking at the construction site that was busy digging and moving stones, Timur suddenly said to Pang Bing, who was in the army, "Pang Bing, in half an hour, you will attack!" ”

"But Commander Wei ......" Seeing Timur's expressionless face halfway through, Pang Bing could only stop talking.

Timur ignored these arrogant and unobedient officers of the army and looked up at the tower of the valley city.

According to the signal he had agreed with Weiss, once Weiss took control of the city, he would hang the banner of Timur's army on a black background with a red frame on the tower. (Zhao Yun's department uses a flag with a black frame on a red background)

The unstable life in the steppes made it necessary for the Mongols to march at every turn, and to assemble as soldiers most efficiently in the midst of chaos, and the military flag was very important, and it played the role of immediate organization and discrimination. In general, each tribe in the steppe had its own military flag, and in peacetime their livestock was also stamped with the insignia on the military flag, while the Western Germanic tribes were simpler, directly marking the back of the livestock with the words "it is mine" (Old Scandinavian Brandr, branding, etymology of brand in English).

The origin of the military flag and emblem is complex, some even correspond to the ancient Xiongnu tradition, and some are influenced by modern things. Tribes with similar military flags generally have unusual relationships. Among them, the halberd seal (symbolizing wind, horse, thunder and lightning, some inverted and some side-mounted) is very famous among the various steppe tribes, and only those who are very good at fighting and have a great reputation dare to use this emblem. There is also a kind of squad flag with the eye as the emblem in the tribal flag, and when you look at this flag, you must understand that this is the enemy's elite troops.

But until now, this flag has not appeared above the castle tower.

Timur was not worried about this, neither the direct army nor the Feng army was a military unit of the camp, and for Timur, the army of the camp was the most reliable.

However, Timur also knew that the reason why the banner had not appeared at this moment was because Weiss needed time to control the city of Chengde, so Timur needed to launch an attack by the Feng army to attract Liu Wei's attention, and it was best to get him to draw more soldiers from the city.

However, in ancient times, most of the battles were fought in early spring and late autumn to avoid summer and harsh winter, and the reason for this is self-evident, it is nothing more than that the scorching sun in summer hangs high, and the cold and freezing in winter are not conducive to marching and fighting.

Take the current attack on Chengde as an example, the scorching sun in May is also quite powerful, except for the camp military unit, the rest of the people are sweating. And if it weren't for the fact that the Mongol army would detect the lack of troops in the city, Liu Wei would not want to go out of the city to fight the Mongol army at this time. Of course, the same is true of the Feng army on the opposite side.

"Phew!" Half an hour passed, and the arrogant Feng army had no choice but to attack the city gate according to Timur's orders, because behind them, those Mongol cavalry were already in full formation, and if they did not listen to the order today, then these Mongol cavalry would definitely release their horses and drive them into the moat.

The Feng army, which had no way to retreat, held back a burst of anger and could only vent it to the direct army on the opposite side, and the two sides were happy to fight at the city gate for a while.

"Kill!"

"Rush!"

At that moment, the voices of people under the city wall were boiling, and the shouts of killing shook the sky. The two Chinese armies with the same roots and origins fought only because of their discord.
