Chapter 110 Manchuria
Under the city of Wokuhan City, Ulutus military camp.
The head of the Wanfu Quan Xuzheng summoned all the generals to discuss matters.
According to the previous plan, he was planning to use one city to hit the city. With a powerful siege like a bomb-dropping cart, there was almost no strong city that could stop them.
But today's autumn seems to come earlier than before! Especially after it rains, the temperature drops significantly. If you still take a steady approach like this, it is likely that you will not be able to seize Nanjing, the capital of the Dazhen Kingdom, before winter comes.
Therefore, Quan Xu suggested to Ulutus that it would be better to gather all the reinforcements from the Dazhen Kingdom to Womouhan City. If there is a great victory, even if the gate of Nanjing City does not take the initiative to attack, it will not be able to close the Ulutus team.
In addition, Tuheihua was supporting the army in the rear, after reading the pros and cons of Quanxu's report, Ulutus still agreed to this method.
So after Quan Xu led the main force, A Danghan felt happy. Because he had hoped that the main force would do a big battle after it arrived, but Quan Xu only let the army attack the city in the middle of the night. However, it was also loud and the raindrops were small.
Although it made the guards in the city panic, it was not as good as the city surrender.
This tactic that is hard to understand is not only the defenders in the city, but also the generals like A Danghan and others are also extremely confused.
Quan Xu knew that these generals were not hiding their thoughts. So today, he summoned all the military generals and planned to announce the military plan agreed by Ulutus to the public.
At this moment, seeing that the military generals were all here, each savoring tea, looking at listening with a savor, Quan Xu cleared his throat and said, "Today we call you to discuss matters is to announce a major event."
Hearing this, the atmosphere on the field suddenly became much more solemn.
"After discussing with the king, I decided to change the original combat plan. After completing his contributions, he used Wokuhan City as bait to compete with the army of the Dazhen Kingdom. Therefore, the matter is of great importance. At that time, the king will come here to watch the battle in person. Before that, Wokuhan City is only allowed to attack and not be taken down."
After saying this, Quan Xu asked again, "Do you have any objections?"
"No objection!", the military generals said in unison.
Since this matter was known and agreed to by Ulutus, then they would naturally be ordered to do things. Moreover, it would be a good thing for them to achieve their contributions in one battle. Even if the city of Wokehan is not suitable as a battlefield for decisive battles.
After all, the terrain here is not wide, and the bottom of the city is stuck at the entrance of the river in Jingpo Lake. But this disadvantage is mutual. The Ulutus tribe cannot form a formation, and the army of the Dazhen Kingdom cannot be arranged.
And more importantly, Ulutus's troops had a sharp siege weapon - bomb drop truck. Even a strong mountain city like Tewang City can be taken down, let alone a strong city like Okan City, which is far inferior to Tewang City.
The more people come, the more soldiers of the Great True Kingdom will know about the power of the firearms of Ulutus.
Just when an unknown city like Womouhan City gradually became a battlefield that determines the survival of Eastern Mongolia and the Great Zhen Kingdom, or even determines the northeast, and the battlefield behind the enemy, Shangjing City, which is the battlefield behind enemy lines, fell into a strange peace.
Even in this peace, I brought some vitality that I had not seen in the capital for a long time.
As a scholar who took the exam, Wang Wentong entered Shangjing City controlled by the Mongols before the war was over.
He was a scholar from Dading Prefecture on Beijing Road, Great Jin Dynasty. Of course, this refers to the time when the Mongols had not yet gone south. Now it was completely the territory of the Mongols. Their family was originally a wealthy family, but after the war, they could not withstand the destruction.
Especially when the Mongolians occupied their family's arable land to grazed cattle and sheep, their family had lost their foundation. At this critical moment, Wang Wentong could not study hard.
He originally wanted to join the Mongolians so that he could win favor so that he could change his family's predicament. However, he was only in his early twenties and had no reputation. Since he could not get a favorable recommendation, he had no choice but to recommend himself.
Just when he was in trouble, a Mongolian suddenly came to his home. It was said that the prince of Eastern Mongolia had heard of his name and hoped that he could go and serve.
To be honest, he didn't believe in this sudden Mongolian prince from the bottom of his heart. However, the other party really taught the Mongolian who occupied their farmland in front of him, and he really believed in the other party's identity.
More importantly, the other party directly brought his parents with him. Even if he didn't want to, he had to go north for his family.
Along the way, he saw the scenery of the desert with his own eyes. Seeing the group walking north, he thought the other party was from the Khan Court. This made him nervous and a little excited.
After all, he had no way to defect to him before, but now he was easily recruited by the Mongolians. And after hearing the words of these people who took him away, the other party's identity was quite high.
With a faint expectation, he cooperated on the road. In terms of the scenery, although the scenery in the desert is majestic, it is less angry. Words such as "bitter and cold, deserted" are the best adjectives he can think of to describe the desert.
When the sun is high during the day, the temperature is also high. But when the sun sets, it will be cool. However, there are not many green grasslands, especially when you go further north, there are also large deserts and Gobi.
It was Wang Wentong's first time to come to the grassland. He had seen too many deserts and grasslands along the way, and he could no longer tell the direction. It was not until a big city appeared in his sight that he knew that he had come to Bayanwugula City in Eastern Mongolia.
Wang Wentong was completely unfamiliar with this city because he had never heard of it and had never been there. After entering the city, what he saw and heard opened his eyes. Pedestrians, cars and horses had to walk on the right, and in the middle of the road, he used pebbles of about the same size to lay a straight line.
In this way, the road is divided into two halves, and the passing vehicles can only walk on their respective roads. Pedestrians are also separated from the vehicles and horses and walk on the pedestrian paths.
Therefore, when Wang Wentong entered the city, he saw a pedestrian, carriage and horse walking on the street in an orderly manner. And a strip of cloth was tied to the tails of the horses, camels, donkeys and other livestock.
The Mongolians who led him said that this was to prevent livestock from being excreted at will and dirty the ground.
When he mentioned this, he noticed that the streets were very clean, and sometimes there were old men with red armbands cleaning the streets.
Such a clean city immediately made him feel curious and affection for the Mongolian prince who had never been masked.
Then he went to the tent of the Ulutus tribe, which is now called the city of Manzhouli. I heard that it was the name given by the prince of the Ulutus tribe!
What surprised Wang Wentong was not the name of the city, but the fact that the city had no walls.
Looking around, there are tents that cannot be seen at first sight, and there are also a small number of earthen houses. Logically, the layout of such dense tents is definitely not beautiful. However, this city called Manzhouli, which uses tents as its residence, is very regular and strict. Each tent is almost equally distanced, and there is no sewage on the ground. The roads entering the city are like Bayanwugula City, keeping the rare clean and tidy.
But the scale and prosperity of this city are far greater than that of Bayanwugula City he had seen. It even surpassed the big city he remembered - Dading Mansion. He had never seen it before, there were so many caravans. He had never seen it, almost every place along the street is a city of a commercial company.
From embroidery needles to hoes, saddles, etc., you can see and sell them here. There are both Song people in the south and Hui people in the west. There are almost everything, and there is no curfew at night.
Such a prosperous city really completely subverted his impression of the Mongolians. Especially in this city, I heard more about the deeds of the Mongolian prince.
From an unpopular son of a sect king, from a small tribe of hundreds of households to the current lord of Eastern Mongolia, it is like listening to legends.
If he had some grudges about the Mongolian prince holding his family hostage to go north with him before, then he would be completely unrelenting now.
Because such actions are the hero whom he eagerly wants to surrender to! Assisting such a master, the skills he has learned are not completely buried.
Because his parents were old and had been away for so long, they couldn't stand it anymore. Therefore, the people who led him wanted to stay in Bayanwugula City for a while, but Wang Wentong didn't want to stay for a moment.
Especially after hearing that the prince was going to hold the imperial examination in Beijing, he did not dare to delay it.
He rushed so quickly, and finally arrived in Shangjing ten days before the exam began.
Like other cities under the Eastern Mongolian rule, there is no need to charge a tax on entering the city when going to Beijing. He would only check the luggage entering the city, and search it very carefully, which made him feel a bit of the solemnity of the war.
After entering the city, the dust that hit him suddenly made him stunned.
Because the Shangjing City in front of us was completely destroyed ruins. People who demolished houses and transported dust could be seen everywhere. They were all covered in dust, as if they were slaves who were servile.
