Chapter Seventy-One: Leaving No One
The monstrous flames of Beiying burned for several hours in the fierce wind on a rainy night.
It wasn't until the sky was bright that it was calm, and there was an extremely pungent smell of burnt paste at the head of Suzhou City and in the city, which made people sick.
The sky was enlightened, and the sergeants at the head of the city looked from afar, only to see that the northern camp of Wara, which was quite terrifying yesterday, had now turned into scorched earth, and bursts of black smoke rose from the ruins and broken walls.
The countless corpses of men and horses in the destroyed camp were scattered all over the ground, and many more were burned to charcoal, which was extremely miserable, which shows the bloody battle last night!
Soon in the morning, the sergeants beat gongs and drums and ran to tell the neighborhood, last night the Ming army raided the Wara military camp, destroyed its barracks, captured its main general, and returned with a great victory!
With Deng Ping's order, the Ming army escorted the general Wara to order Wanyan Laso to parade through the streets, especially in the east of the city, where the people gathered, to show off their might to deter Xiaoxiao.
"If you dare to offend Tianwei, this is the end! My soldiers are invincible, and it is only a matter of time before the enemy army is repelled, so you can relax, Suzhou City is unbreakable!! ”
Kuang Zhenchuan asked the sergeants to shout back and forth to stabilize people's hearts, while Guo Xiong also collected grain and grass as usual, distributed it according to people and heads, and strictly controlled it.
When the people in the city heard about the great victory of the official army, they couldn't help but look through the crack in the door, and saw that a strong Mongolian man was tied up and paraded through the streets.
couldn't help but stabilize his panicked heart, after all, the small people of Shengdou didn't understand the battle situation, as long as they heard that their own officials and troops had won a big victory, and they also caught the main general, they were ecstatic, thinking that they had defeated the Tartars.
The two brothers Bao Yuanqian captured Nawanyan Laso last night, interrogated them all night, and asked a lot of information about the Warat army.
It turned out that the siege of the city was not the soldiers and horses of the Turgus Division, but the soldiers and horses of the Turhut Division, and its leader was none other than the Warat Taishi, Ugqi Hashha!
Ugqi Hashha led an army of 60,000 to the south, besieged the city of Hami early, and captured the king of Zhongshun, Anke Timur.
And two months ago, a group of Ming troops were captured, and this time they were able to bypass Jiayu Pass out of nowhere, precisely because of the confession of the Ming army, they told the hydrological secrets of the upper reaches of the Lai River, which coincided with what Bao Yuanqian said!
Ugqi built and assembled a large number of siege equipment in the Hami area, and the mobile iron cavalry had already taken advantage of the heavy rain to secretly march eastward and came to the west bank of the Kaolai River.
As the prisoners of the Ming army said, the heavy rain and rising water of the Lai River fell from the sky and a Tiansheng bridge, which naturally bypassed Jiayu Pass and went straight to the Acropolis of Suzhou!
Bao Yuanqian asked the inside story, his heart was cold, and after all, Brother Gao was still as he and Jiang Wei expected, became a prisoner, and betrayed the military situation....
Deng Pingyu was furious and ordered to go down to the city to search for the missing Gao Shouzheng and the five people.
As for this captive, Yan Lasso... Deng Pingyu pondered for a long time, sneered to himself, and looked at him like a dead man.
The Ming army of the four gates heard that the first battle of the camp robbery last night was a great victory, and the army's heart was a little solid and they didn't have time to be happy, only to see that on the sand dam in the distance to the west, many troops slowly and densely appeared.
Everyone looked intently and saw that nearly 10,000 people on the sand dam were slowly advancing towards this place, with many large equipment, oxen pulling horses and horses, and moving slowly.
Needless to say, this is the follow-up siege equipment of the Warat army.
......
A few miles to the west of the city, a king's tent rose from the ground.
A man with a hooked nose sat upright, flanked by two rows of cowardly Xue Jun in full iron armor and wearing face protection.
He looked at the generals in the tent with a gloomy face, and outside the tent knelt down a group of officers of all ranks, trembling and not daring to look up at the tent.
The general Lahul knelt in the tent, and he was about to finish reporting last night's defeat, and was anxiously waiting for the moody master to respond.
"Hmph... 10,000 people were killed by more than 1,000 horsemen and fled in all directions, which really gave me the face of the Minister of Turgot. Ugqi smiled coldly and ignored Lakhult in the tent, "More than two thousand were killed and wounded, and more than five thousand horses were lost. That is to say, my Ugqi family has a big business, and it can withstand the toss of your waste. ”
Hearing this, Lahuertu trembled, and hurriedly said: "The master forgives the sin, and the sin deserves death." ”
He knew in his heart that the loss of two or three thousand soldiers was not a serious matter, but the loss of five or six thousand horses was indeed a real pain.
Last night, together with the firelight, more than 10,000 horses in Beiying were frightened, and they scattered and ran wildly like crazy, although some were immediately stopped, most of the horses fled north to cross the river and disappeared.
"That's it, there are many thieves, and I can't complain about you." Ugqi spoke softly and smiled lightly.
Lahuert hurriedly said: "Master Xie is forgiving, the last general originally led the men and horses of the headquarters to take the lead in attacking the city, won the first success, and atonement the merit!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the remaining officers of the North Battalion, who were kneeling outside the tent, also swore allegiance.
When they saw that Ugqi's words were softened, they said in their hearts that they would probably not be blamed, after all, they were still needed for this siege!
Ugqi looked coldly outside the tent and said indifferently: "When did this Taishi say that he would forgive you?" ”
This sound came out, and the tent was shocked, and Zawen Nayan trembled.
"Don't listen to the general's orders, camp untruthfully, abandon the camp and abandon the village, embarrassed and useful...."Ugqi squinted, didn't want to look at the waste outside, and turned his head to a person next to him: "Ghost power, cut it all." The head of the owl hangs outside the tent, and I see who will dare to dismiss it in the future. ”
"Master spare your life!! Taishi! ”
"Spare your life!"
"I'd like to be a pawn!!"
For a while, the ghosts outside the tent cried wolves, but the ghosts didn't care so much, so they took the cowardly Xue Jun outside the tent and dragged the wailing people away.
"Taishi, I know how General Wanyan was robbed!" A cowardly Xue Zhawen Nayan shouted loudly, "Taishi, be careful of their Ming army's indiscriminate methods!" ”
"Oh? And you will enter the account. ”
Seeing that there was a play to save his life, he hurriedly broke free, and crawled into the tent with a handful of snot and tears to recount last night's experience.
"Taishi, you must be careful of the thieves who can speak Mongolian and have Mongolian faces, they are the hidden poisonous snakes!!"
Ugqi got up after hearing this, slowly walked behind the man, looked outside the tent and said, "You mean, Wanyan Lasso was robbed by a small army of thirty or forty people?" ”
"It's... Be.. We can't prevent it..."
Before he finished speaking, he only felt a cold neck in his neck, and a stream of heat gushed out, and he collapsed in the tent with wide eyes and died of convulsions.
On the side, Lahur was splashed with blood, and he trembled and crawled to the ground.
"After all, if you have merit, you will be given a ride with the golden knife of the Golden Family." Ugqi wiped the inlaid treasure golden knife in his hand, and suddenly turned his head to the outside of the tent, glaring angrily, "Don't understand what Master Ben said?" None of them remained, all of them were cut!! ”
With a wave of Ghost Li's big hand, more than 20 heads fell to the ground, and for a while, the officers of the North Battalion were empty!
A deputy general of 10,000 households, more than 20 thousands of households and hundreds of households fell to the ground with their heads, and blood columns spurted out from the cavity, staining the grass outside the tent.
Ugqi said with a gloomy face to Lahuerto, who was kneeling beside him: "The gap of these people will be filled by the soldiers who performed bravely last night and have made some gains. ”
"Yes!!"
"In the future, there will be those who abandon the camp and flee, and this is your example."
Ugqi wiped the blood on his hands with a leather handkerchief, walked out of the tent and looked at the majestic Suzhou Guardhouse City not far ahead, "Order, push the siege equipment to the four gates, fill it and prepare to go, and start the siege immediately after a full meal of good meat and wine at noon!" Break the city within two days, and the chickens and dogs will not be left after the break!! Flat on the ground! ”
Several Nayan at all levels of the Chinese army were ordered to leave one after another and began to deploy their own troops.
Ugqi turned around and looked at a human: "Age, the underground in the east of this city is up to you." ”
An iron-clad cowardly Xue Jun in the tent saluted respectfully and said, "I will not disgrace my life!" ”
"Suzhou Wei, hehe... Let's see if it's your shield or my Ugqi's spear! ”
