On the North Hill Fort.

Wu Nian looked up at the Mengyuan camp that was gradually taking shape, and saw that there were craftsmen who moved parts from the baggage carts one by one, and then assembled them into siege vehicles.

Huge siege engines, of course, cannot be pushed up the mountain. When they go out of town, they are just parts, and they are assembled only when they reach the place.

Wu Nian looked at the type of siege vehicle, there was a well cart as high as the city wall, it was a kind of two-wheeled vehicle, as if it was a boxy well, and archers could stand on it, so as to make up for the high disadvantage of the besieging side.

There is a ladder cart, which is a chariot with two ladders. After manipulating the mechanism, the ladder can be erected at 45 degrees on the city wall. The defenders of the city could not push this ladder cart.

There is also a wooden mantle cart, in which a huge shield is built in front of the cart, and the soldiers can hide behind the wooden mantle cart to achieve the purpose of moving forward.

Wu Nian was silent for a moment, and his left hand on the hilt of the knife was tightly clenched.

The city wall is a sharp weapon for the Han people to deal with the northern peoples, but the Han people are also proficient in the skills of breaking the city wall.

The peoples of the north are no longer just a people on horseback, no longer only cavalry, but also hoplites, plus heavy siege equipment.

became the behemoth in front of him.

Mongol Yuan Empire.

If the Mengyuan people only had cavalry and used simple ladders, it would be much easier to deal with.

"Brothers. Fight the Mengyuan people, even if it's to defend the city. We don't really have much of an advantage. Defending the city is the last resistance. Only we have a large number of soldiers, militia, relying on mountains, bows and arrows, and our legs. Fighting guerrillas with the Mengyuan people is the road to success. ”

Wu Nian took a deep breath and said in a deep voice to Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng on the left and right.

Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng's faces were ugly.

Compared with the Mengyuan soldiers in front of him, who were armed to the teeth, Zhu Erha last time was like child's play. The last victory was really hard-won.

It was a victory that was obtained after showing weakness, surrendering, and sneak attacks in tunnel warfare.

This time it's a hard-fought battle.

Even Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng are like this, not to mention the elite soldiers and militia on the city wall. The elite soldiers are okay, and they have strong willpower to support them.

Of course, the militia has a strong willpower, but the weak willpower is already trembling, and before the fight starts, they want to lie down and pretend to be dead.

"Come in. Let's arrange the garrison mission. Wu Nian greeted Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng, and the three of them entered the city gate tower together and sat down.

"Although it can't be. But we have to guard against the night attack of the Mengyuan people on Beishan Fort. My plan is: You are two nights, one in the first half of the night and the other in the second half of the night. With the militia. Give your soldiers plenty of rest to prepare for the day's battles. ”

Wu Nian sat on the small bench, looked up at the two people on the left and right, and said in a deep voice.

I have only heard of night raids on the camp, but I have not heard of night raids on the city.

But the Mengyuan people are too strong and have to guard against it.

Every soldier is precious, and of course they must not be allowed to keep vigil.

"Yes." Wang Gui and Zhang Shengying were very crisp.

Time passed quickly, and soon it was dark. Wu Nian had already made a bed in the city gate tower and was going to sleep. But before he went to sleep, he walked out of the city gate and, accompanied by Wang Gui, inspected the city walls.

A militiaman stood on the city wall, in the cold wind, with a rudimentary weapon such as a spear in his hand, and was not equipped with any armor or armor.

They may be resolute or timid.

Looking at Wu Nian's eyes, he was either respectful or afraid.

"Brothers. In the kitchen inside the barn, there is ginger soup boiled. If anyone feels cold, you can tell the little flag officer who led you and ask someone to make ginger soup. ”

"If anyone suffers from a chill, fever. It is also necessary to report in a timely manner. In addition, no one is allowed to leave their posts without permission, and they must stare energetically. ”

"Not only to guard against the sneak attack of the Mengyuan people outside the city, but also to guard against spies in the city going out of the city."

Wu Nian walked past a militiaman, his voice was very loud, and he took the trouble to tell over and over again the things that should be paid attention to.

He walked east to the corner, then turned back to the west and walked to the corner, and finally returned to the gatehouse.

"I'll leave it to you." Before entering the city gate tower to sleep, Wu Nian turned his head to look at Wang Gui and said in a deep voice.

"Don't worry, sir. I'll keep an eye on it for you. Wang Gui took a deep breath, bent down and said in a deep voice.

"Nope. It's for us, for Beishan Fort, for Yanhan. Wu Nian shook his head and said.

"Yes." Wang Gui struck a spirit, and then used all his strength to roar.

"Hmm." Wu Nian nodded, pushed open the door and walked in. The two house slaves in the building immediately walked up, untied Wu Nian's armor, prepared hot water, and soaked Wu Nian's feet.

After soaking his feet, Wu Nian rolled up the futon and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Wu Nian woke up to the sound of war drums and horns of the Mengyuan people.

After Wu Nian opened his eyes, he immediately said to a house slave beside him: "Let Zhang Sheng tell the soldiers, don't panic." This is the rallying order of the Mengyuan people, and it will take some time for them to launch a siege. The soldiers hurried to eat. The elite soldiers eat first, and the militia comes last. ”

"Also. Get me breakfast. ”

"Yes." The house slave looked panicked and went down. Wu Nian washed his face, ate breakfast calmly, and then under the service of the two house slaves, he was neatly draped, and walked out of the city gate tower with the handle of the knife on his waist with his left hand, and stood on the city wall.

"Your Excellency." Zhang Sheng, who was guarding the middle of the night, came to Wu Nian with two dark circles under his eyes and a haggard face.

"Go to sleep. There I am. Wu Nian said.

"Yes." Zhang Sheng responded, and after clasping his fists and saluting, he went down to the city wall and went to the barracks.

Wu Nian raised his head and looked ahead. The camp of the Mongol Yuan people was already open, and the siege carts were pushed out, including four well carts, four ladder carts, and four wooden curtain carts.

After these siege vehicles were lined up, a black war horse carrying a Mengyuan warrior walked out, and then about a thousand Mengyuan soldiers also came out.

Wu Nian's eyes glanced at it, and about fifty percent of the soldiers were wearing heavy armor.

The high armor rate is scary.

"If I had these armors, plus elite soldiers, militia. Give me time to train. Hum. Wu Nian shook his head and shook off the distracting thoughts in his mind.

He looked back at the soldiers around him, put his right hand on the hilt of the knife at his waist, pulled out a brand new steel knife, and shouted, "Brothers. Fight to the death. ”

"Fight to the death and never retreat !!"

The elite soldier's will to fight was much stronger, and he immediately raised the weapon in his hand, and cooperated with Wu Nian to let out a loud roar.

Come on.

Mengyuan people.

Even if it's really a ghost, I'm going to kill it.

Wu Nian held his head high and looked ahead, fearless.
