In Jingbian County, where Zhou Yuhong personally defended the Tiger and Leopard Army. As another night passed in tranquility, for five or six consecutive days, Zhou Yuhong, who had not waited for the Mongolian cavalry, gradually began to gather up.

At this moment, he had even begun to think about whether to send someone out of the city immediately to contact the marshal Wei Zheng to see if he needed to change the battle plan.

You must know that the Mongolian cavalry did not carry much military rations, and the military rations of the Tiger and Leopard Army that had to be transported from Datong, Shanxi Province were also very limited. Just because the cavalry allocation in the Tiger and Leopard Army is not too high, coupled with the replenishment of a large amount of meat, the limited military rations of the Tiger and Leopard Army can take seven or eight days longer than the Mongolian cavalry.

Of course, this is only seven or eight days.

If the Mongols hiding in northern Shaanxi are not wiped out by themselves within seven or eight days, they themselves stationed in the county town will also face the crisis of food shortage.

When the time comes, it will not be the Mongol cavalry that will destroy itself, but the Mongol cavalry will destroy itself.

Therefore, as time passes, the limited military rations become less and less every day. Zhou Yuhong is in his eyes and anxious in his heart. I can't wait to directly disobey the orders of the commander Wei Zheng, lead the troops out of the city, and take the initiative to find this Mongolian cavalry with no head and no end in sight, and fight with them....instead of waiting aimlessly here.

Just when Zhou Yuhong was about to go to the city wall, ready to see if there would be any gains today. The battalion commander who was in charge of duty last night rushed directly to his county office with a face full of surprise, and collided with himself.

Facing Zhou Yuhong, the battalion commander who came in a hurry hurriedly spoke: "General, there is a situation. There is a situation outside the city...."

"Cavalry. The Mongol cavalry, which we were waiting for, appeared..."

"Let's go. Go to the city walls... Inform the three regiment commanders, go to the city wall immediately, we will meet at the city wall......" Hearing this news that he had not seen for a long time, Zhou Yuhong's confused eyes quickly shot out two rays of fine light, and shouted loudly to the guards behind him.

Then, with a face full of eagerness, he trotted towards the city wall not far away.

Because. Zhou Yuhong, who looked anxious, was also very much like taking a look at the true face of the Mongolian cavalry. Let's see what kind of enemy it is, and the Haw Par Army can only parry.

With the help of the war horse, the city wall, which was no taller than a battle, was trampled under Zhou Yuhong's feet with just a cup of tea.

Under the cover of night, 10,000 Mongolian cavalry, like ghosts in the night, quietly surrounded Jingbian County.

As far as the eye can see, the wasteland outside Jingbian City. It has been covered by the banners and swords, guns, swords and halberds of the Mongol cavalry.

And not only that, well-trained Mongol cavalry. An army of 1,000 troops has been formed outside the city one after another, ready to launch an attack on Jingbian County at any time.

Seeing this, Zhou Yuhong's eyes became even brighter. Exclaimed with excitement on his face.

"It's the Mongol cavalry... And there are tens of thousands of people, which is almost the same as the number of people estimated by the big marshal. It would have been safe to say that the Mongols outside the city had fallen into a crisis of food shortage. Otherwise, they will definitely not expose themselves and launch an attack on the county town of Jingbian, where we are located..."

At this time, the three regiment commanders also rushed to the city wall with hot faces.

After seeing the Mongolian cavalry outside the city, the hot expressions on everyone's faces not only did not dissipate in the slightest, but became thicker and thicker.

In particular, the commanders of the two musket regiments directly under Zhou Yuhong directly asked for battle with a fanatical face: "General, these Mongolian cavalry finally dare to show their heads....you give an order, we will fight how you let us fight....we must let the Mongolian cavalry outside the city hit our heads and bleed under our feet......

Zhou Yuhong nodded, and replied with a satisfied smile: "Ben will know that after waiting for such a long time, you are all holding your breath in your hearts....but everyone, don't forget the purpose of our coming here..."

"With the strength and strength in our hands, we can indeed make the Mongolian cavalry hit their heads and bleed. However, with limited troops, we have no way to annihilate them all...."

"You must know that the purpose of the commander in formulating this battle plan is to completely annihilate them and avenge those soldiers who died in battle, not to defeat them and leave some regrets."

"So, no matter how much you want to clean up the Mongolian cavalry outside the city, you have to endure it for the general..."

Seeing the hot expressions of the three people who quickly calmed down, the satisfied smile on Zhou Yuhong's face became even stronger, and he continued: "Very good...... Now, it's time for Ben to give you specific orders..."

"According to the battle plan drawn up for us by the marshal, our first task at present is to attract the Mongolian cavalry around the county town of Jingbian. When the main force has completed the encirclement of them, the center blooms and destroys them cleanly. ”

"In order to prevent the Mongols outside the city from being driven away by strong firepower, the commander decided that after the Mongol cavalry outside the city launched an attack, all soldiers were forbidden to use mortars. Until the critical moment, the soldiers participating in the defense of the city can only have one battalion at most...."

"A battalion held out on the walls for an hour....six musket battalions, in rotation..."

Speaking of this, Zhou Yuhong immediately shifted his gaze to the commander of the cavalry regiment and ordered with a stern expression.

"Commander Wang, the guards of our army in several other county towns, whether they can get the news that the Mongolian cavalry is attacking us depends on you....immediately draw a team of cavalry from the army, take the platoon as a unit, and immediately leave the city... The news that we have been attacked by the Mongol cavalry was quickly sent to Dingbian, Yan'an, and the hands of the marshal...."

The commander of the cavalry regiment replied with a solemn face: "The last general has an order....please rest assured that General Zhou will definitely send the news to the three county towns..."

After saying that, the commander of the cavalry regiment with a stern face hurriedly left the city wall.......

At this time, tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry, who were already ready for battle, moved...

A thousand-man Mongolian team with a longbow in hand, and a thousand-man team with a ladder and a scimitar in their hands, all jumped off their horses and rushed out of the military formation that covered the sky and the sun. Then, like an endless wave, it was pressing towards the city wall.

The Mongols made a sortie ... Zhou Yuhong, who had witnessed this qiē change with his own eyes, ordered with a face full of fanaticism.

"The first battalion of the musket regiment, immediately prepare for battle....the other soldiers, immediately withdraw from the city wall......"

As the sound of bean-like gunfire rang out on the battlefield, a battalion of musketeers, quickly forming a three-stage firing phalanx, began to shoot endless lead bullets outside the city. (To be continued......)
