Chapter 247: The Power of the Snowball

Outside the city, there was a heavy snowfall.

The beasts of the forest that were commonly seen were all gone, and they hid in their burrows waiting for the cold winter to pass.

On the walls of Gucheng, some Mongolian people wore bloated fur coats, constantly moving their hands back and forth, and their footsteps kept walking. In cold weather, it seems that if you stand still for a while, your body will feel stiff.

In such weather, they should stay in the warm yurt, drink mare's milk wine, eat roasted whole sheep, sing and dance, and preferably hold a beautiful Mongolian woman in their arms, and work hard for the next generation is the most beautiful thing.

Unfortunately, they are the Mongolian soldiers of the fortified city, and their duty is to guard the safety of the city and prevent any foreign enemies from taking advantage of it.

It's just that it has just snowed so heavily, how can there be a foreign enemy here?

Liao? I am afraid that they will enjoy it more than themselves, so that they will not suffer in such cold weather.

All the Mongol soldiers in the city did not think that there would be a foreign enemy, but outside the fortified city, a huge army appeared.

First there was a black spot, then dozens or hundreds, and finally tens of thousands, like stars in the sky, coming from far and near.

At first, the Mongolian soldiers on the city tower thought they were dazzled, but when the black spots became more and more and closer and closer, they knew that this was not their own dazzle, but the real enemy.

In such bad weather, such an army appeared to come to the city, and they had not received any news before, so needless to say, it was friend or foe.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack."

A panicked shout soon sounded above the castle tower, followed by the sound of a muffled trumpet, which reverberated over the entire solid city.

The magnates and people in the city, when they first heard the horn, first pricked up their ears suspiciously, and then it didn't take long for them to be flustered after hearing the meaning expressed in the horn.

Gucheng General Baha, who was originally entertaining his subordinates in the palace, was eating happily and drinking happily, when the sound of the horn came into their ears, and their faces began to change one by one.

The general of Baha put on his armor under the service of the guards, and hurried towards the city tower.

By the time Baha and the others came to the top of the city, the black spots in the distance could already be seen clearly, it was indeed an army with tens of thousands of people, but it was not a Liao people, but it was more like them and there were more Mongolian people.

But no matter who came, even if he came to the foot of Gucheng without saying hello, he must not be a friend but an enemy.

"Quick, immediately send out all the scouts in the city and ask for help." Baha's voice immediately sounded above the tower, and it didn't take long for the hundred men to ride away in front of the open western gate.

There was no cover, and the scouts did not come out of the four gates, but all of them headed west, apparently trying to ask for help from the lost troops of Mog.

This scene was quickly reported to the ears of the Uzig patriarch who was leading the army forward, and he was happy in his heart, so that he could not worry about someone breaking through from the direction he was defending. He was very happy to transfer all the pressure to Su Shi, so he said to the elder Hadan beside him with a smile on his face: "You go and send someone to inform the Song people and tell him that the Mongolian people in the city are all heading to the west, and there are as many as a hundred horsemen." โ€

After Hadan agreed, he personally went to meet Su Shi in the sleigh car. But he didn't see anyone in the end, he just heard Su Shi's somewhat lazy voice, "It's okay, I have already arranged it, and none of them can run out." โ€

For Su Shi's support, Hadan was a little unhappy. However, considering that the main enemy now is the Mongolian soldiers in Gucheng, it is not the time to turn against the Song people, he can only suppress the anger in his heart, and return to Wuzhige's side after saying thank you.

Hadan told him about the process of going to see Su Shi, and when Wu Rige heard that he didn't even see the figure of the main master, his face was displeased again, and he comforted Hadan and said: "Don't be angry, as long as we capture Gucheng, then we will have two big cities as a basis, and we will have a place to stand, and at that time we can consider the matter of attacking the Song people." โ€

This is not a comforting word, but it is what Urige really thinks.

Except for helping them deal with some small Mongolian tribes at the beginning, the Su family army has not made much use in the later period. On the contrary, ninety percent of the gold and silver went into people's pockets. At this point, Uzhige has long been dissatisfied.

He thinks this cooperation is unfair, and he decides to wait until the time is right to snatch back what should have belonged to him.

As for the Su family's army, they will be given two options when the time comes, one is to surrender themselves, and the second is to destroy them.

When he made this decision, Uzhige didn't have any psychological burden at all, he thought that he had worked hard to get everything he had now, so why did he share the benefits with others? At this time, he forgot that if it wasn't for Su Shidao's stay, he was afraid that his body would have turned into an ice sculpture by now.

This is one of the inferior nature of human beings, who often only remember their own efforts and dedication, but it is easy to forget the goodness of others to themselves.

On top of the fortified city, General Baha sent scouts out to report the news, and then ordered to guard the city.

Baha also thought of leading his army out of the city, so as to deal a heavy blow to the enemy who was rushing to the city and had not yet assembled, but the snow outside was too great to give up any speed advantage if he came out on horseback, so he had to abandon this idea and decided to defend the city and wait for the enemy.

Without any trouble, the 30,000 Mongolian soldiers of the Kaqi tribe easily came to the city.

They did not attack the city immediately, but first erected the yurts they had brought with them, and then cut down a lot of firewood nearby, and set up countless bonfires, which were lit and burned.

The fire emitted a scorching temperature, which made the faces of the Meng soldiers under the city color.

When the body has a temperature, not after the cold. One by one, the simple catapults were pulled to the bottom of the city, and huge snowballs taller than one person were put into the cars, looking like they were about to attack the city.

Everything under the city looked in Baha's eyes, and his face became even colder.

Any object can hurt people when it reaches a certain level, and if it is really hit by such a big snowball, I am afraid that no one will not vomit blood, and few people will survive.

Feeling threatened, Baha deliberately looked at the reactions of the others around him, and found that they were just as bitter as himself, and it was obvious that they also thought of the power of this.

In fact, the Mongols rarely defended the city when they fought wars. What they prefer to do is to attack on their horses, shouting all kinds of Mongolian languages loudly, slashing left and right with sabers, that is what men should do.

On the contrary, it is the matter of defending the city, which is not their specialty. It's like in a fortified city, even some sleepers, boulders and fire oil used to defend the city are very few, so few that I am afraid that they will be exhausted after a wave of defense.

The heroic Mongols want to play the defense of the city, which they are not good at, and you can imagine how depressed their mood will be. But they didn't dare to kill them, there were only 8,000 Mongolian soldiers in the city, although there were still some Mongolian people, but they were not trained, and their combat effectiveness was only mediocre, and sending them out was no different from sending them to death.

He only has 8,000 soldiers, and there are more than 30,000 enemies that can be seen outside the city.

"Guard, everyone work hard, as long as we wait for our reinforcements to arrive, then it will be the time to attack inside and outside and eliminate these aliens." After thinking about it, Baha encouraged his men with these words.

The so-called alien meng is the name of the Mongolian people for their own people, but at the same time they are also enemies. It seems that in the eyes of Baha, the Mongolian people of the Kaqi tribe under the city are strangers. But in the eyes of Urige, why are the Moge lost tribes in the city not strange?

The Mongolian soldiers defending the city got busy after giving an order, and carried out the few remaining weapons in the city, putting on a dead defense.

The performance of the city fell in the eyes of Uzhige, but he was unhurried and unhurried, but sat down beside several campfires, feeling the warm temperature, and at the same time, someone brought a wooden table, on which was filled with mutton and mare's milk.

"Come, Hadan, let's drink and see how powerful the snowball is." After Uzhige gestured to Hadan with a drink, a glass of mare's milk wine was thrown away, and another voice from him was heard, "Start attacking." โ€

The order was given, and countless snowballs more than one person tall fell towards the top of Gucheng's head like meteorites breaking through the starry sky.

The Mongols, who are not good at defending cities, but are also not good at siege cities, although they have simple siege weapons like catapults, but in practice, the hit rate is low. After hundreds of snowballs were thrown, at least half of them smashed on the city walls, leaving no effect other than white marks.

There are also thirty percent of the big snowballs that jumped directly over the city tower and fell into the city because the elevation angle was too high. This blind attack destroyed many houses and yurts in the city.

Only about 20% of the big snowballs fell on the city tower, giving a certain amount of damage to the Mongolian soldiers defending the city.

"Hahaha, that's all." Bahรก's laughter rang out from above the tower.

In fact, the moment the big snowball launched the attack just now, he was still very scared, and under the protection of a group of guards, he hid behind a battlement.
