Chapter 219: Seed, No Seed
To the north of Beishanbao City is the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasty camp.
When they withdrew their troops, it was already the last ray of sunset. When they returned to the camp, it was completely dark.
The Han auxiliary soldiers had already prepared hot meals and were waiting for them. The Mongolian and Yuan soldiers queued up to receive the meals unceremoniously, and then returned to their tents.
The Han auxiliary soldiers ate rice bran rice.
Wu Nian's guess was correct.
During the daytime battle, Li Dazui's men and horses suffered casualties of between five and six hundred, and about 300 were killed in the battle. Basically all the death squads were killed.
Two to three hundred wounded soldiers were placed in separate wounded camps and received proper care.
Unlike how they treat Han people, the Mongolian people treat their compatriots very well.
Moreover, they brought a lot of medicine this time, which can withstand consumption. However, the Mongolian soldiers did not have Wu Nian's catgut technology, so the mortality rate after injury would be much higher.
This is an advantage.
When the strength of both sides is the same, whichever side can save more wounded soldiers will gradually become more advantageous as time goes by.
Of course Li Dazui would not have thought of such a thing.
He was very satisfied with today's siege battle.
According to intelligence, there are about 20,000 people in Beishan Fort now, and the number of troops must be 4,000.
Plus strong women, old people, half-grown teenagers.
This guy Wu Nian is capable and can twist everyone into a rope.
Although he vowed to conquer the city within an hour, he actually knew that this was impossible. He had clearly seen today's battle.
Beishan Fort can hold on for at most three more days.
After returning to the main tent, Li Dazui immediately called his centurions over and they all sat together.
There is a flame burning in the center, and above the flame are two golden roasted whole sheep. Under the operation of the Han auxiliary soldiers, the aroma of the roasted whole sheep is fragrant, and it will be ready soon.
Of course Li Dazui was sitting in the main seat. He turned his head and looked at the centurions. One centurion died in the battle.
"All the death squads are dead. The rest should be incorporated into the normal team. Now that Chu Cole is dead, I will promote Jufu Dadam to centurion."
"Call him over immediately."
After Li Dazui thought for a moment, he immediately said to everyone.
"Yes." The centurions responded loudly. A soldier walked out, and soon after, Dadam came in. After bowing to Li Dazui, he came to the centurion's seat and sat down.
The Mongolian people are also very powerful at this point.
The death rate of captains of thousands, centurions, and captains of ten in battle is very high, and they will select outstanding people to replace them. As long as they are good soldiers, they may become captains of thousands.
Unlike Liaodong Jiangmen.
Good soldiers can only end up like Zhang Jin, Tieniu, and Liu Wu.
This is the secret to maintaining the combat effectiveness of their army.
At this time, the roasted whole lamb was ready. The Han auxiliary soldiers carried wooden plates and knives, cut off the lamb and distributed it to everyone.
Li Dazui was a captain, and he was given a leg of lamb. He was not polite, opened his big mouth, and tore the leg of lamb with his big yellow teeth. His mouth was filled with oil.
After swallowing it, Li Dazui picked up the wine glass and toasted to everyone:
"Everyone did a good job today, and we will continue our efforts tomorrow. We will strive to break through Beishan Fort within three days. I have made a contribution, and you will also have soup to drink. I give you a toast."
"Yes." The centurions all responded enthusiastically. Then everyone raised their wine glasses and drank the wine in large gulps.
"No matter what, everything is good for the Han people. Even the wine." Li Dazui smacked his mouth, and it tasted good.
It goes without saying that I lived in Baishui and Heishan before.
Nowadays, the Mongolian people don't enjoy all kinds of things as well as the Han people. This wine is of course also a delicacy of the Han people.
"In the end, aren't they all ours? The wine made by the Han people, the grain grown by the Han people, the silk made by the Han people, and the babies born to the women are all Mongolian people."
"Hahaha, that's good. I can't wait. There are 20,000 Han people, at least 10,000 women, and at least 2,000 young women in Beishan Fort. Although the general ordered the massacre of the city, I want to find two beautiful ones to be my concubines.
.”
"There are two thousand young women, there must be some who are beautiful, don't worry."
The centurion spoke unscrupulously, drinking wine and biting into the mutton. The expressions of the several Han auxiliary soldiers who helped were very complicated.
Ashamed, angry, frustrated, I finally lowered my head and accepted my fate.
In addition to roasted whole lamb, there were also rice, pickles, and various kinds of pork. Li Dazui and the centurions ate happily and were satisfied.
"There's another thing. Night attack. We can see that Wu Nian can't hold it anymore, and Wu Nian can definitely feel that he can't hold it anymore. This guy is capable and very decisive. We will be on guard for the rest of the night.
They all need to be strengthened.”
"Whoever dares to slack off will be killed by me."
At the end of the sentence, Li Dazui's face was very serious, and his rough face was filled with a chilling air. A pair of tiger eyes scanned the centurion.
Victory is at hand and there is no room for failure.
"Yes." The centurions immediately lowered their heads and responded loudly.
Soon after, all the centurions went down. Li Dazui came out of the tent, faced the cold wind and looked at the Beishan Fort in the darkness, put his hands on his hips, and thought.
"In a few days, I will be able to massacre the city."
"After the city is massacred, let's go back to Jiang County. It's better to go there."
Li Dazui was a captain of thousands. How could he not reach out after entering the colorful world of Liaodong? He took two girls as concubines on the way, and they were ladies from the official family.
Slippery, delicate and timid.
Li Dazui misses his gentle hometown very much.
Especially now that the weather is cold, the bed is not only warm but also refreshing.
Thinking of this, Li Dazui shook his head. After washing up, he went to the back tent to sleep.
The next day, Li Dazui got up before dawn. He put on his armor early, picked up his riding whip, and started shouting in the camp.
"Get up, get up quickly, prepare to attack the city."
Following Li Dazui's shouts, batches of Mongolian soldiers lifted off their bedding, stood up, put on their armor, walked out of the tent, and lined up to eat.
Li Dazui was very dedicated, and he was not sloppy in fighting, and he wanted to capture Beishan Fort.
Wu Nian was more dedicated than him, not sloppy, and wanted to win.
It was not yet dawn, to be precise, it was the middle of the night, one hour before dawn. In the four barracks in Beishan Fort, someone asked the soldiers to get up.
"Get up quickly. The general has selected two hundred death squads. Each of them is wearing heavy armor and will follow the general out of the city to kill the Meng Yuan people."
"If you have eggs, get up quickly; if you don't have eggs, go to sleep."
This is not a mandatory order.
Same as what Wu Nian said before.
"Those who do not perform military service will be killed."
Completely different.
After hearing this order, the soldiers immediately distinguished themselves.
He stood up quickly, put on his clothes and left the military building in a hurry, as if he was afraid that he would be late and lose his share.
