Chapter Fifty-Six: Picking Up the Mess

Duoduo sent scouts to reconnoiter the movements of the defenders of the Great Wall, and he received a message from the flying pigeon, saying that Zhang Qi had really relaxed his vigilance, and then spread the six leaders of Baturdan of the Ordos Department.

The Ordos Ministry, who was anxious to be ashamed, immediately raised troops! The Mongol army is blowing like a swift wind! Moreover, some of the vanguard troops are hidden not far from the Great Wall, and they are there when they are talked, and they are close to the Great Wall.

"Light the beacon!" Soon, the Great Wall was lit with sky-high beacon fires! Wolf smoke wafts in the sky!

As soon as the Mongol cavalry approached the Great Wall, the Hongyi cannons on the top of the city fired angry fury in unison! "Boom! Boom! "Shell after shell bombarded the Mongol cavalry.

A shot fell in the middle of the swarming Mongol cavalry, as if it had exploded, and the Mongol cavalry dispersed in all directions.

"Boom" rain of arrows pouring down from the city! It was dense, as if the sky was covered in a rain of arrows. One after another, the Mongol cavalry fell from their horses with arrows.

Huang Qi in the city shouted: "Tartar barbarians, you listen to me!" You play fake retreat and then come back and attack it unprepared. Such a trick, our three-year-old children in Daming can't be fooled! If you want to play tricks, our Ming is the ancestor! You should read more of our Han people's Sun Tzu's Art of War and Thirty-six Strategies to be qualified to come to the class to get an axe! ”

At the same time, the Ming army in the city also shouted loudly, they just wanted to break the confidence of the Mongol army and let them know that their sneak attack plan was useless.

Duoduo understood, he was stunned, he was surprised, wasn't Zhang Biwu imprisoned? How could the Ming army still see through his strategy? Zhang Qi can't fight, can he be prepared?

However, the matter has come to this point, and the six leaders of the Ordos Department are naturally unwilling to retreat, of course they will gather 20,000 people to attack the Great Wall! Stepping on this pass, this is their determination!

More than 20,000 Mongolian cavalry gathered, and here there were five red-coated cannons brought by Duoduo to compete with the Hongyi cannons of the Ming army.

When Guancheng was attacked, Zhang Qi was the most panicked, and the envoy of the general army also understood that it was difficult to resist a brutal army of more than 20,000 with only more than 3,000 defenders. Rather than die here, it is better to return to the general army, anyway, it is glorious to move the rescue soldiers. When the help arrives, it can also be recovered and can drive the Mongol soldiers away.

He immediately said goodbye and left, saying that he was going to the chief soldier to move the rescue soldiers, of course he would do the same, but he was not confident, would the people who stayed still have a way to live?

Zhang Qi repeatedly stated that he would defend the country and never let the Tatar soldiers cross the Great Wall. But as soon as the envoy left, Zhang Qi immediately called Zhang Biwu and asked Zhang Biwu if he had the confidence to hold the city.

When Zhang Biwu saw this, he already understood, and Zhang Qi wanted to slip away. He sighed, all the officials are cowards! A sheep leading a flock of lions cannot defeat a flock of sheep led by a lion.

It's okay if Zhang Qi is gone! Without the people who restrain the elbows, Zhang Biwu can let go of his hands and feet to command the battle.

So Zhang Biwu didn't give in, he gave his hand: "Lord Tongzhi, as long as you give me the command!" I will be loyal to my country! The Tartars must not be allowed to cross the Great Wall! ”

"Good! Great! Zhang Qi was very satisfied and said, "Biwu, you know that there are only 3,100 troops here in Ludao, and the guard is 5,600 people. Now the vast majority of people are gathered here! I'm going to take 500 men with me to make a plan not far away, and that's the horn of the horn, and I'm going to ask the commander for help. So, you only have 2,600 men at your disposal! You have to hold on no matter what! I believe you! ”

Zhang Qi said and made a promise: "As long as you defend the Great Wall and prevent the Mongol cavalry from crossing and invading the country, then you will be a great hero!" What a thousand presidents, the position of commanding the affairs is not a problem! Did you see that? The commander-in-chief has sent someone to reward you! So, it's time to make a name for yourself and make a career in this dynasty! Biwu, the future commander is none other than you! ”

Zhang Biwu understood that Zhang Qi said this just to make himself desperate, and it was all a verbal promise, and he couldn't take it seriously at all. It's just one thing, Zhang Biwu knows that he is a soldier, and it is his duty to defend the land and protect the country! He won't back down for any reason.

Sure enough, Zhang Qi and Cai Qian took five hundred people with them, they left the Great Wall, and they were going to the rear. Because they know that the troops here are too thin. With 3,000 men against more than 20,000 people, it is difficult to achieve even if the city is held to the death. What kind of promotion and fortune should wait to save your life first!

The main general fled from the battle, which was a heavy blow to the morale of the army, which made the morale of the army fluctuate, and there were originally few men and horses, and five hundred were divided, which was tantamount to adding insult to injury. The worst thing was to shake the confidence of the soldiers in defending the death, and the fighting spirit of this Ming army of 2,600 people fell into collapse at the moment when the main general fled. Therefore, Zhang Biwu is facing a mess and the situation is grim!

As soon as Zhang Biwu took command, the first thing he had to do was to establish the determination of the soldiers to defend to the death, and not to let the soldiers collapse with Zhang Qi's escape!

As soon as Zhang Biwu returned to the city, he learned that the soldiers had heard the news of Zhang Qi's escape, and many people had fled, but Deng General had already taken precautions, killed two people in battle, and arrested all the more than 100 people who wanted to escape.

As soon as Zhang Biwu arrived, he waited for his disposal, and at this time, the Mongol cavalry began to attack the city! The military spirit of the Ming army is still floating! The Mongols are determined with shame! Their morale is like a rainbow! Everybody fights to the death!

Zhang Biwu came to the more than 1,000 people who had been arrested, and one of the big men shouted: "All the officials have slipped away!" We don't do anything! Do you want to die here? If we want to deal with deserters, if we soldiers escape, we will be executed, but those who are officials don't need to! We are not convinced! ”

The others also shouted: "Yes! Defy! We are not convinced! "It's not just these people who are caught who are not convinced, but even the other defenders who are still resisting the Mongol siege are also unconvinced.

Intimidated, they are defending the city, but if they don't defend it thoroughly, their fighting spirit is not enough, and if they are half-hearted, then this city will be breached sooner or later! These 100 people can't be let go, but if you kill them, you will be powerful, and there are few people, and if you kill them again, it will be even more difficult to defend the city! Moreover, the defenders are deterred by threat, and they can only act temporarily, and after a long time, the effect of killing people and establishing power will disappear. It's hard to kill or not!

Zhang Biwu thought about what to do with these people! He turned to the big man and asked, "What's your name?" The man replied in response: "Uncle, I won't change my surname or change my name - Zhang Yufei!" ”

When Zhang Biwu heard this, he nodded and said, "Okay! Your surname is Zhang, and my surname is Zhang! But I'm ashamed of it! It's a shame for our Zhang family! Our Zhang family is a man who stands up to the sky! But you are a bastard who ignores your family and only knows how to escape by yourself! ”

When Zhang Yufei heard this, he stood up excitedly and shouted excitedly: "I'm not a bad seed!" Listen! I'm not afraid of death! I'm not convinced! We are all pawns who work hard for the sake of Lu, but all the credit is taken by those officials who are the first to escape! And we owe money from time to time! I'm not convinced! I'm really not convinced! And I'm from Yulin, so of course I want to defend my hometown! I am also a good boy of the Zhang family! ”

As soon as Zhang Yufei's words came out, more than 100 people also echoed them, because they all thought like this! They were angry that the Lord had fled, so they became deserters in discouragement.
