Chapter 178: Border City Reaction

This attack began with the first attack of the Mongols, and by now it had been nearly three hours, and by the time the battlefield was cleared, the sun had already passed the middle of the day, and it was already afternoon.

Soon after Zhang Tie and others cleaned up the battlefield, Yan Beichen and others came to support with troops, and what they saw were two carriages full of Mongolian heads.

This battle, again before they arrived, was over.

For the Mongolian tribes near Biancheng County, Zhang Tie also inquired, and he also knew that the tribes that often came to Biancheng County to fight the grass valley were the same tribe as this tribe~ Tara tribe.

Such a major injury, for a small tribe, can be said to be broken, and it is impossible to come to invade again, unless it is to break the net.

However, in order to prevent accidents, Zhang Tie and others still had to garrison the fortress, and did not dare to let the soldiers return to the city, for fear that the Mongols really wanted to break the net.

After helping to deal with the defense measures a little, Yan Beichen and the others went back with their respective soldiers again.

The so-called defensive measures are actually digging pony pits and trapping pits, and this time the pony pits were dug a lot, and all the outside of the fortress was dug.

As for the horse pits, there are very few, and there are only six in one direction, a total of twenty-four, all of which have been marked.

This mark is only understood by themselves, and the main purpose of marking is to prevent their own people from accidentally falling into the pit.

And as the battlefield was cleaned up, the beacon fire was also extinguished by Zhang Tie's people, and now that the Mongols were repulsed, the wolf smoke naturally did not need to be raised by him.

After three hours, the thick wolf smoke completed its mission and dissipated into the air.

……

In a village on the border, the old man who had been sitting in the bell tower looked at the dissipated wolf smoke with a puzzled look.

"Why did the wolf smoke stop? Could it be that the wood has been burned? Or was it breached? ”

Not only the old man of the bell tower was puzzled, but also some villagers in the nearby villages who had not yet fled were also puzzled, not knowing what was going on with this wolf smoke, why suddenly, the four wolf smoke that rushed to the sky were gone.

A few brave villagers sneaked to the fortress, but the sight of them made these villagers open their eyes wide, their mouths wide open, and they looked at the soldiers safe and sound.

……

At the north gate of Border City, endless crowds of people rushed to the city gate, and the entire city gate was particularly crowded and chaotic.

These people who desperately crowded to enter the city were all people who rushed from all over the county after seeing the wolf smoke rising on the border.

When the Mongols attacked a few years ago, there was no wolf smoke, and it was only after the Mongols arrived that they learned that the Mongols had come to fight the grass valley again, and not many people came to the county seat for refuge.

And this time the beacon fire wolf smoke was used again, and the thick wolf smoke informed these people that the Mongols had attacked, so except for people like the old man who rang the bell, the other people left their homes and came to this county seat, ready to take refuge in the county seat.

The Mongols have fought in the grass valley for so many years, but they have not attacked the county seat, but the fortress has been attacked many times, and each time the Mongols have not broken through, and the soldiers stationed in the fortress have also died in battle.

It was because the garrison fortress was breached by the Mongols, so that many soldiers died one after another, so that the fortress was abandoned by everyone and no longer used, until today, the new county commander restarted the fortress again.

Although the soldiers of Biancheng County, under the leadership of Zhang Tie, beat the bandits to the ground, not only to understand the bandits in Biancheng County, but also to eliminate the rioting bandits in Yan'an County next door.

However, they were still not confident that the soldiers would be able to withstand the Mongol attack.

The strength of the Mongols has left deep footprints in their hearts and they feel invincible.

Thinking that it was a matter of time before the fortress was breached by the Mongols, what they thought was to enter the county seat and escape the disaster while the fortress was not breached.

The recruits all stopped training, put on armor, held cold and shining weapons, and stationed on the city walls of the four gates of the border city, looking around vigilantly to prevent accidents.

The officials in the border counties are also very busy.

The sudden increase in the number of people inside and outside the city has made the entire border city and county calm, whether it is in the county seat or outside the county, and it has been greatly impacted.

After the wolf smoke began to ignite, in just one hour, the outside of the border city and county was crowded with people, all of them in a panic.

In the North Gate City, Yu Yingyou stood in front of the city gate with more than 50 officials, arranging for one after another people to enter the city.

Outside the city gate, fortunately, there is Yu Yingyou's host, with his usual prestige in the border city and county, plus the fast catchers holding embroidered spring knives behind him, this did not make the eager crowd uneasy.

Nowadays, under special circumstances, the people in the yamen of the entire border city county are crazy busy.

The county commander Zhang Shun sat in the yamen, and the chief secretary Guo Mingjian and other scribes helped plan how to deal with the sudden increase in the county's population.

Liu Yi, the county lieutenant, and Qiao Shan, the master master, each patrolled the streets with more than 30 officials.

When there is such a big movement, it is natural to guard against some small things in the city, to see the current situation in the border cities and counties, to make an obstacle from it, and to bring some unnecessary troubles to the border cities and counties.

Now the people in the border cities and counties can be said to be panicked, and once chaos occurs, the consequences will be unimaginable.

However, I don't know if it was because of the patrols on the streets, or for some other unknown reason, the expected crime trafficking incident did not happen.

This is the only good news that Zhang Shun and others have heard since the wolf smoke rose.

However, the explosion of people has not only brought the disadvantage of panic, but also brought some unexpected benefits.

First of all, on the business side, there has been a lot of explosion for the time being, and almost all the goods in the major stores have been swept away, even the grocery stores.

Secondly, this situation also made the hearts of many people in the border cities and counties united and united.

The people of the city helped the recruits to carry the equipment to the city walls in case the Mongols came to attack the city.

......

When Cao Shuangxi hurried to the north gate of Biancheng County from the middle fortress, there were still many people outside the city gate, congested at the city gate, waiting in line to enter the city.

Cao Shuangxi, who came with a mission, faced the crowded crowd, couldn't get in for a while, and it was impossible to queue up, so he had to shout loudly: "The people in front of me give way, there is an urgent military situation to report." ”

As early as when Cao Shuangxi came on horseback, the people outside the city also saw it.

Seeing that the other party was wearing a military uniform, and he came from the north, the people guessed that this was the soldier stationed in the fortress, and now he rushed to the border city and county at this time, most of them were in a hurry.

So the people retreated to both sides, making way for Cao Shuangxi to pass.

Cao Shuangxi turned over and dismounted, hugged his fists at the people around him and said, "Thank you!" ”

"The vanguard of the Mongols has been defeated by us and retreated to the steppe, so don't panic and slowly enter the city."

After Cao Shuangxi quickly explained the battle situation to the people, he led the horses and walked quickly into the city gate.

Cao Shuangxi did this, but he also saw so many people gathered outside the city, and he was afraid of accidents, so he took this opportunity to tell the news of repelling the Mongols, so that the people would not panic.

A word stirred up a thousand waves, and the news of repelling the Mongols made the people stunned in place, and they forgot to ask for a while, allowing Cao Shuangxi to enter the city gate.

This news was too shocking for them, they thought that the fortress would be breached and the border cities and counties would be defeated, but they didn't think that they would repel the Mongols.

"Is this true?"

"Oh my God! Repelled the Mongols? Really fake. ”

"Haha! I knew that under the leadership of Master Zhang, the Mongols would definitely be defeated. ”

"Come on, I think you were in the most anxious to enter the city just now, and now you still say that, I said brother, ask for face."

......

Although it was just a message from a soldier, and there was no concrete evidence, the people still believed that it was true, because there was no need to deceive them.
