Twenty miles outside the city of Haozhou, outside the moat, the black Mongolian military tents that cannot be seen at a glance are one after another, three layers inside and three layers outside, and the city of Haozhou is surrounded by water.
"Dashuai, this detachment is really worthy of its name. Thousands of troops, without the slightest mess, the front and rear armies, well organized, just looking at this military discipline, it is far from being comparable to our righteous army!" Tang He looked at the city tower for a long time, sighed, and said to Guo Zixing.
Today, Guo Zixing took all the generals to the city wall to inspect, looking at the hundreds of thousands of soldiers not far away, looking at the thousands of handsome flags embroidered with the word "off" in red, everyone was speechless for a long time.
"The people in red armor in front are Han Chinese, the black armor in the middle is the Tartar soldiers, and the brown armor in the back is the guards and soldiers. On both sides were the gunner battalion on one side and the Tanma Red Army on the other. Deng Yue had a lot of contact with the Yuan soldiers, pointed to the Yuan soldiers outside the city, and introduced them to everyone one by one.
500,000 soldiers and horses, the front and rear armies, there is not even a trace of people arguing and neighing, and the old man can't do it anyway. Guo Zixing looked at the city and shook his head, "It seems that the sesame plum city is broken in three days, it is definitely not wronged, and it depends on how long I can wait." Ha ha. ”
The generals in the back are also discussing, seeing the momentum of the Yuan army outside, they are all embarrassed, all the generals are experienced in a hundred battles, nine deaths and a lifetime, fighting in thousands of troops and horses, it is commonplace. However, when I saw the soldiers and horses who had escaped today, I felt cold in my heart, and I was not sure of winning at all.
Zhu Chongba also followed behind everyone, looked at the Yuan army under the city, and also felt that there were fewer victories and more defeats, and he felt that the Yuan soldiers he saw today were all vigorous and energetic, and the Yuan soldiers he saw in the ghost stream that day were simply like two people, not like the same team at all.
Deng Yue was the commander-in-chief of the city, and after inspecting the city, he loudly ordered the four deputy generals to lead 30,000 soldiers and horses to guard the four city gates, and he himself personally led 20,000 soldiers and horses to sit in the center and fill the position at any time. The four lieutenant generals gave orders loudly, and each took his soldiers and horses to arrange a thing to defend the city, poisonous wolf teeth and arrows, rockets, poisonous tribulus terrestris, and quicklime, the moat was covered with poisonous thistles and wolf fangs, and countless traps were dug early ten miles outside the city, and sharpened bamboo sticks were buried in the traps, and tripwires were installed outside the city gates, and quicklime was wrapped into bags of different sizes.
Deng Yue shouted that 120,000 horses and horses should take turns to patrol day and night in three shifts, and there must be no mistakes.
Zhu Chongba followed Guo Zixing and others down the city wall and arrived in the city. I saw that the fathers and common people in the city were gathered in the streets, and everyone silently helped the army to strengthen the city walls and carry the baggage. Others prepared food and carried it with their burdens to the soldiers who were guarding the city on the city walls. The streets were tense, but not chaotic, and there was no such atmosphere of despair.
Looking at the busy soldiers and people in the four corners, Guo Zixing turned back to the generals and said: "Generals, although we only have 150,000 soldiers defending the city and 500,000 enemy troops, we plus more than 200,000 people in the city, there are also 350,000 people, we go all out, and we are not afraid that we will not be able to defend this Haozhou City." The worst thing is that we kill one one, kill two to earn one, kill more Tartars, and avenge the people. ”
Up to now, no matter how many factions there were before, now everyone is wholeheartedly defending Haozhou City, hearing Guo Zixing say this, everyone is proud and agreed.
Guo Zixing also ordered that all the bīngqì in the treasury be taken out, and that the common people should only have men over the age of sixteen, and everyone should distribute bīngqì, and all the people should be soldiers to deal with the tartars together.
At this time, in the Yuan barracks, which was showing off its might, it was loose on the outside and tight on the inside, which was a completely different situation.
In the handsome camp in the center of the north side, under the huge handsome banner, the most dà camp is the handsome camp of Totooff, at this time, there is no one else in the handsome camp, just a person sitting on the Taishi chair in the middle, and there is a thin white-clothed man standing under the stage, with both hands in his arms, holding a long sword in his arms, his face is expressionless, it is the mysterious white-clothed master that Ye Boyu has seen - Feng Yihan.
The two of them stood and sat together, sat on the Taishi chair, looked up at the sky, Feng Yihan lowered his head and lowered his eyes, and both of them were silent.
After a while, Tokhoff stood up and asked in a deep voice, "What do you say you should do now?"
There was silence for a while, and Feng Yihan said in a low voice: "Leave the court and fly away." ”
"Woman's opinion!" Tokhtar scolded loudly, "You are also a master of a generation, and it is so chilling to say what you say. ”
"Good birds choose trees to perch on. Gu Lai Wu Zixu and Han Xin are role models!" Feng Yi said coldly: "The faint king has no eyes, the minister is in charge, and the woman sees you!"
"Shut up!" Totoh shouted loudly: "Shut up! Feng Yihan, you turned out to be such an unfaithful and unrighteous villain!"
"What is loyalty, what is righteousness?" Feng Yihan did not raise his eyelids, and said in a low voice: "The king is a minister, and he must be a clear monarch and a king who knows the great righteousness." The morality of a friend also depends on where the righteousness lies, whether the friend is a wolf or a real friend. ”
"You!" Totoh was speechless for a while, and sat down on the Taishi chair again, panting heavily. After a while, he said: "Today's saint is definitely not the kind of person who listens to slander as you said, it must be these people who are gallant and hama who are obstructing and causing trouble. These words were weak, and it was obvious that he himself was not sure.
After hearing this, Feng Yihan suddenly raised his head, his eyes flashed like lightning, and he said, "What are you going to do?"
"What can I do? I have issued two holy decrees in a row to return to Beijing immediately, what can I do? What should you do if you tell me what to do?" he slapped his hands on the table, ignoring his handsome image, and shouted with all his might.
"Will be outside, the king's order will not be affected. Feng Yihan was not moved by the hysterical state at all, and still said coldly.
Tokhoff looked at Feng Yihan, who was dead and alive, exhaled a long breath, and then said slowly: "Don't persuade me, pass the order, tonight, after the 50,000 guards are broken, the three armies will retreat as soon as possible and return to the capital to renew the order." ”
Feng Yihan shook his head, didn't speak, turned his head and walked out.
Tokhoff looked at Feng Yihan's back and walked out of the handsome tent, let out a long sigh, and said to himself in a deep voice: "Feng Yihan, this time I may want you to take risks with me! But there is no way, who let you follow me, and who let me follow the current saint!"
After a day of patrolling the city, and returning to the tent, there was a heated debate about how to defend tonight.
Some people advocate that today is the first day of siege of the Tartar army, and they have just set up camp not long ago, and their roots are not stable, so it is better to strike first, and come to the camp at night to steal the camp, and then talk about the morale of the Tartars.
Tang He, Deng Yu and others advocated not moving, their reason was that the morale of the enemy army was now strong, and it was definitely necessary to prevent us from stealing the camp, it was better to defend the city in peace and stability first, and after breaking the enemy's several sieges, the morale of the enemy army would naturally decline again, and the three would be exhausted.
Guo Zixing frowned deeply and sat in the middle without saying a word.
Deng Yu said loudly: "Generals, Tokh is well versed in the art of war, and he must have arranged everything a long time ago to prevent us from stealing the camp, and we are still throwing ourselves into the net, wouldn't it be a vain wave of troops." Besides, even if we want to steal the camp, then how do we steal the camp? We don't know anything about the deployment of the Yuan soldiers' troops, and we have no way to start if we want to steal the camp. ”
A rough general said loudly: "General Deng, you don't have to hesitate. The last general with 3,000 hardcover soldiers is enough, and he should kill him personally on his back. ”
Deng Yu shook his head when he heard this, and was about to speak out against it.
Suddenly, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the tent, and then the tent came in, and everyone looked at it, but it was a horse. Tan Ma saluted and reported loudly: "Dashuai, the Yuan soldiers outside the city have moved." ”
"Oh, what's moving?" Guo Zixing jumped up and hurriedly asked loudly, "This old thief is attacking the city so quickly?"
"Not really. The scout said: "The Yuan soldiers put away the camp tent and slowly opened it, it seems that they are going to collect the troops and go back." ”
"What? Yuan Bing has withdrawn his troops?" Guo Zixing jumped up and didn't know how high it was, this news was even more surprising than saying that Yuan Bing had already attacked the city overnight, "Yuan Bing had just besieged the city, how could he suddenly collect his troops overnight?
The generals below were even more fried, and the army was talking, and for a while, there was a lot of noise in the camp tent, and nothing could be heard.
"Dashuai, seeing is believing, why don't we dare to go to the city wall to see what the Yuan soldiers want to do. Tang He was the calmest and said loudly.
"Yes, yes, I'm confused for a while. Guo Zixing patted his head, waved his big hand, and led everyone out of the handsome tent, and got on the horse and went straight to the city wall in a few steps.
In the night, I saw the lights on the side of the Yuan soldiers from a distance, and the lights were like an endless dragon, which disappeared into the night in the distance. asked the soldiers guarding the city, and they all said that among the Yuan soldiers besieging the city now, except for the Yuan soldiers on the north side, the other three Yuan soldiers have disappeared.
Guo Zixing and the others hurriedly beat their horses and looked around the city wall, and sure enough, as the soldiers defending the city said, the Yuan soldiers on the east, west, and south sides had withdrawn, leaving only the Yuan soldiers on the north side to cover the army.
Although the Yuan soldiers were retreating, they did not panic in the slightest, and the three armies were still commanding in unison and in an orderly manner.
Guo Zixing asked the tanma next to him: "When did the Yuan soldiers start to retreat?"
"Probably before a stick of incense, that is, at the time of the first watch. Tanma replied: "At that time, although we saw the Yuan soldiers moving in the distance, it didn't look like a siege, so we secretly went forward to investigate for a while, and then returned to the city to tell the marshal." ”
