Seeing the more and more enemy troops gathering outside the fort, all the Qing army changed color. A deputy general said with great concern: "Looking at the enemy's flag, there are at least six or seven thousand people. How did they arrive here without knowing it?"

Udu Ayan didn't say anything, and he had the same doubts. But soon, someone solved his doubts.

A cavalry rushed over and shouted loudly, "North Korean General, Lin Qingye, the general of the Dongjiang General of the Liao army, led a large army here. If you are tactful, open the camp gate and kneel down to surrender. Otherwise, after breaking the fort, you will not leave any chickens and dogs. I will give you two hours to consider, these are gifts for you."

After saying that, he threw down a sack, turned his horse's head and ran backwards.

Udu Ayan sent him down and took the sack. There were dozens of human heads inside, one of which he was very familiar with. It was the commander of the whistle cavalry who sent him to monitor the movements of Kuandian Castle.

Some parts of the head have begun to rot, and it is obvious that it has been dead for a long time.

Udu Ayan stood on the castle wall wearing armor, frowning her eyebrows and clenched her hands unconsciously. Like a falcon, her eyes staring in front of her, standing sternly and solemnly, no longer the appearance of a drunken person before.

There was light snow floating in the sky, and the surroundings were white, and the snow on the ground had already exceeded the ankles. Obviously, it was not heavy last night.

The enemy camped five miles away, and smoke rose above the camp. They were cooking, and they condensed into a mist on the upper layer, suitable for raids.

Some of his generals also made such a proposal, taking advantage of the opponent's foothold and attacking from the fort. But looking at the nearly a thousand cavalry and people who were waiting for the enemy's camp on both sides and those who were far superior to him, Udu Ayan gave up.

At present, the troops in the fort are only over one thousand, including only three hundred flag soldiers, and the others are Han and Korean soldiers. The enemy suddenly arrived, and there were so many more people, and the soldiers in the fort were already scared.

At this moment, it was because he was seeking death.

But looking at the enemy troops who were building siege equipment, he felt a little hesitant. If they waited for them to repair and rely on the opponent's superior forces, Fu Cha would probably be unable to defend it.

But Udu Ayan was a little confused, why did the Liao army leave them two hours?

If the enemy launched a strong attack as soon as they arrived, even if there were no siege equipment, they could attack the city head by relying on piles of dead bodies. After all, Fucha was not a big castle, and the city wall was only more than ten feet high. The reason why it existed was just an outpost to monitor the movements of the Keliao Army.

Two hours were enough for them to attack.

He felt even more disdainful of the other party's idea of ​​taking advantage of this time to make his own army surrender. After the founding of the Qing Dynasty, how many Qing warriors were there?

He didn't believe that Lin Qingye, who had fought with the Qing Dynasty many times, didn't know this. But after thinking about it, he couldn't see through the purpose of the enemy's doing this.

It was two hours later, and it was dark. Yet attack? He curled the corners of his mouth and basically denied this idea. Most people in this era had night blindness. It would be fine if they didn't have a night attack.

At this time, his deputy Akmin walked up. This was a young man, only in his early twenties, but he had been in the army for several years. He was full of energy, bravery, and fearless. From him, Udu Ayan saw what he used to be. "General, the letter sent out. A total of five teams of people, twenty people, only four or five rushed out. I looked at it. There were only a few hundred enemy troops around us, probably to cut off our army's retreat. However, if we rush for all our strength, we can still escape."

Udu Ayan smiled and said, "Escape? Where can I escape? There are only one thousand people in the fort, less than two hundred horses, and there are at least a thousand riders on the other side. Once they escape, they will not be chased and killed."

Akmin frowned and said, "You can go while it's dark and run to the mountains after leaving the fort. How much can you escape? This Fucha Fort is definitely not something you can't defend, it's better than dying here."

Udu Ayan shouted sternly: "Akmin, stop me. The war has not started yet! Are you so timid, are you still my warrior of the Qing Dynasty?"

Akming hardened his neck and said, "General, why have I, Akming, ever been afraid of anything? But this time there are too many enemies. Instead of waiting for the entire army to be wiped out, it is better to make plans earlier."

Udu Ayan stared at Akmin, his eyes full of anger. After a while, his eyes softened. "Akmin, do you know why such a fortress was built in Fucha, a place where birds do not shit? It is one day away from the two camps of Niumao and Majia, and three hundred miles away from Abudaligang. There are many mountains along the way, and even more than three hundred cavalrymen cannot form a formation."

Akming said: "It's nothing more than warning. Just like when the enemy arrives, we inform the rear and let them prepare early."

Udu Ayan nodded, but shook her head again, "This is only one of the reasons, and another is to buy time for the rear. This is Jianzhou, the place where the Qing Dynasty is growing. But as the area occupied by our Qing Dynasty becomes wider, many old tribes moved to Liaoyang and Shengjing, and the rest are scattered among the tribes. There are less than 2,000 soldiers in Abudaligang, and even Hetuala, the usual garrisons do not exceed 4,000. If the six or seven thousand enemy troops in front of us enter the hinterland of Jianzhou, and the rear army has not completed the assembly, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Seeing Akmin frowning and pondering, Udu Ayan continued, "When we block here for a day, we will give the rear one more day to prepare. This is the purpose of this fort. We retreat without fighting and flee in panic. Others may be fine, but you and I will definitely be killed directly after the war. Stay here, even if we can't stop them, as long as we block a few days and then withdraw, we can give an explanation to the rear and we can survive."

Akmin curled his lips, "I'm afraid we can't hold on for a day."

Udu Ayan was suddenly held back, and after a long time of silence, he said in a deep voice: "The opponent is led by Lin Qingye. He is a Korean, and most of the soldiers around him are Korean, and his combat power is not that strong. Moreover, it will be dark for two hours. As long as we prepare well, it will be no problem to guard tonight. When it is dawn, reinforcements from Niu Mao and Ma camp will almost arrive. It should not be a big problem to join forces to guard for a few days. The key is that we must have the confidence to keep it."

Akming nodded, and this time he rarely agreed with what Udu Ayan said. "We are definitely not a problem with the bannermen. The key is the Han and Koreans."
