Chapter 212 Breaking the Back
Twenty days later.
The weather in Liaodong has completely entered winter from autumn to winter. Although the weather in Liaodong is not as good as the dripping water that turns into ice further north, it is still extremely cold.
The living conditions in Beishan Fort are very difficult.
This castle could only accommodate about 10,000 people, but now more than 20,000 people have been squeezed in. Food and other things can be maintained by controlling the daily rations.
Fortunately, Wu Nian planted cotton this year and produced a lot of cotton cloth and quilts, which can ensure the minimum warmth of the people.
The warehouse is also filled with firewood. If it is not possible, you can also light a fire to keep warm. However, you need to pay attention to the fire.
Although the General's Office of Fu Han in the year of Wu did not have a long history specifically in charge of civil affairs, there were pavilion chiefs for every five hundred people. Under the management of these pavilion chiefs, there was no trouble.
Although it's a bit bitter, life can still be lived.
morning.
Wu Nian, wearing autumn clothes, performed a trick in the house of [General Fu Han], and then slowly exhaled a white breath.
In such weather, a simple set of exercises won't make you sweat at all.
But the warming effect is pretty good.
Feeling warm all over.
"Da da da." Li Yong walked in quickly. Wu Nian looked up and saw that it was him, so he handed the horse to the slave nearby, and then looked at Li Yong.
"General and spies reported that the Meng Yuan soldiers are only about three days away from Beishan Fort." Li Yong said solemnly.
The expressions of the domestic slaves standing around Wu Nian changed. Is what was supposed to come coming anyway?
Wu Nian turned his head and looked at these slaves, but said nothing.
"Twenty days. It's half more than the ten days and a half I thought. These twenty days are given to us by God. God bless Yanhan, we will definitely win."
Wu Nian first said something sonorous and powerful, and then said with high spirits: "Gather everyone back, close the city gates, and recharge your batteries. Rely on Beishan Fort and fight to the death with the Mongolian soldiers."
"If I, Wu Nian, can defeat them once, I can defeat them a second time. We are the strongest in this mountain."
"Yes." Although Li Yong was also confident, after hearing Wu Nian's words, his blood was still boiling. After a loud yes, he turned and left.
Soon, everyone in Beishan Fort knew the news. The peasant women who were cutting down trees were summoned back, and the city gate was closed.
Militiamen patrolled the city, and except for a very small number of people, the rest of the people could only live in their homes.
Before dark, the elite soldiers from the twelve hundred families who had gone out for training all returned. Twenty days of training did not change them much.
But at least the arrangement is much more orderly, and the morale is extremely high.
These soldiers are willing to unite under the banner of "Yan Han" and shed the last drop of blood for the Han people. After the father dies, the son will succeed, and the servants will succeed.
The elite soldiers and militiamen began to rest, and some sturdy peasant women were organized to carry arrows, stones, wood and other defensive tools to the city wall.
The arrival of the Meng Yuan soldiers was similar to the spies' judgment.
The afternoon of the third day.
A soldier standing guard on the northern city wall first discovered a black spot at the northern mountain pass, and then a troop of thousands of soldiers and horses appeared on the flat ground.
"The Meng Yuan people are coming!!!" This very young soldier felt cold at first, then his blood boiled and he shouted.
All the soldiers were shocked, and then they all raised their heads and looked to the north.
The soldiers in the military buildings under the city also walked out of the military buildings one after another and climbed onto the city wall to observe the situation.
During the tunnel battle, only three hundred elite soldiers went out to fight.
Many people saw only mountains of corpses. The soldiers were curious about what the living Mongolian people looked like.
Wu Nian broke their hearts.
"The momentum was so strong that I felt a cold wind blowing against my face, making it chilly."
"Yeah, I seem to smell a smell of blood."
"As expected of Meng Yuan people."
Although their hearts were shattered, they still felt chilly when they saw the Mongolian and Yuan army.
Soon after, Wu Nian, Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng, wearing heavy armor, walked onto the city wall. The soldiers quickly got out of the way, lowering their heads and bending their waists to show respect.
"It's finally here." Wu Nian's eyes bloomed with powerful murderous intent, but the murderous intent soon subsided and became ordinary.
"According to the original plan, I guarded the north gate, Zhang Jin guarded the east gate, Tieniu guarded the west gate, and Liu Wu guarded the south gate. Except for the north gate, the other gates were all nailed with wooden planks and thick wooden
Hold it with a stick."
"Li Yong is in charge of assisting the Han general's mansion and coordinating the overall situation."
Wu Nian waved his hand and ordered loudly.
"Yes." An orderly soldier responded loudly and went down to deliver the order. Wu young man nodded lightly and continued to turn his head to look to the north.
He wants everyone to bleed to the last drop of blood.
Of course including himself.
"From now on, I will live in the gate tower of the north gate. In addition to eating and sleeping, I will stand here to defend the city. I will decide the order first. If I die, Li Yong will be the general to assist the Han Dynasty. After that, I will stand here to defend the city.
It’s Zhang Jin, Tieniu and Liu Wu.”
"Tell them to fight guerrilla war against the Mongols. This is our mountain. We will be the winners in the end."
Wu Nian turned his head again and said to a messenger.
"Yes." The messenger responded, turned around and left.
What Wu Nian said was to convey orders, but in fact it was to boost morale.
Military generals are not afraid of death, civil servants are not greedy for money, and the world is invincible.
Whether they were elite soldiers or militiamen, the fire in their hearts was completely ignited by Wu Nian's words. They turned to look at Wu Nian, as if they were seeing someone else.
But the flag.
That [Yanhan] flag.
There is also a fire burning in the hearts of the Meng Yuan people.
This fire is called anger.
When the three thousand captains Li Dazui, Zhang Guang, and Zhang Chongshui led three to four thousand elite Mongolian soldiers to Beishan Fort.
They were extremely embarrassed.
Not to mention that the mountain road is not easy to walk on, the weather is still cold now. It is also not easy to set up camp on the mountain, and we have to send people to be on guard at night.
The hardships they endured during the twenty-day journey were more tiring than fighting a war.
This was something they had never thought of before.
The Meng Yuan people are also mountain people who came out of the white water and black mountains. It is so tiring to climb mountains and ridges.
Special code.
Now that we have finally arrived at Beishan Fort, what other tricks can Wu Nian pull off? Or, kill him.
Li Dazui rode a tall horse and said to Zhang Guang and Zhang Chongshui on his left and right: "According to the plan, I will set up camp in the north, Zhang Guang will go to the west, and Zhang Chongshui will go to the east. The soldiers are tired, and we will not be able to do it today. Recharge your batteries.
Stay sharp all night and attack the city again tomorrow."
"Remember. We have to check carefully and even dig to see if there are any tunnels. We must not be attacked by tunnels like Zhu Erha. In addition, we must be more vigilant at night to prevent Wu Da's night attack."
"This time, if we don't show any flaws, we can use our strength to crush the Beishan Fort. After the city is broken, but before the city is massacred, let the soldiers feel refreshed. We will kill all the Han women."
Li Dazui gritted his teeth and said.
Everyone is on the same level. Zhang Guang and Zhang Chongshui also know what Li Dazui said, and they are also very angry.
"The full special code is nonsense." After Zhang Chongshui said this, he turned around and led his people to the other side.
Zhang Guang also left with a dark face.
Li Dazui asked the Han auxiliary troops to set up camp, and asked Hatar of the death squad to search the ground to see if there were any tunnels.
This time.
He wants to use his strength to crush Beishan Fort and show it to the people of Liaodong.
