Chapter 696 Sitting and watching, reinforcements, hope,
Wenla Mountain is not high or big, but this is the only way from Jianzhou Wei to Chenyang, so the Ming Dynasty set up an inn here.
This post station was stationed by soldiers from the general banner headquarters, and also stored a lot of food and weapons, ready to provide supplies to the Ming army at any time.
It is such an important station node, but it is dead at this time.
"Wow……"
A child's cry broke the silence. The woman holding the child hurriedly turned around and coaxed her: "Don't cry, don't cry, be good, you'll have porridge later."
More than a hundred men were holding the weapons they had just moved out and watching this scene with a sad face.
This is Wenlashan Inn!
Zhang Ningwei frowned and looked at the women and children around the fire and said, "Tell those men that if the village is broken, it is best to kill their women first, otherwise they will die with their eyes open!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the men nodded heavily and then went to their own women to explain.
"grown ups……"
Seeing those women taking out 'weapons' and other 'weapons', their subordinates couldn't bear to say, "Sir, can't we break through?"
Zhang Ningwei said expressionlessly: "We only have fifty-six people. You can go and see outside the village. Those savages are ten times that of ours. If there are no such women and children, you can fight, but how can you take them away?"
Walking to the edge of the village and looking at the wild Jurchens outside who had already emerged from the cowhide tent, Zhang Ningwei closed his eyes.
“Woo woo woo woo…”
Amid the sound of the horns, the wild Jurchens came out one after another, and then carefully put away their cowhide "sleeping bag" and put them in.
Animal skins, animals shoes, animals hats...
The weapons they have in their hands are also diverse, and it would be good to have an iron knife.
When he saw a leader calling, Zhang Ningwei turned around with difficulty and said, "Let them be ready, the woman will leave first."
"I don't want to be eaten by those savages. After the camp is broken, I have to do it myself immediately. Don't think that if you endure it, you will turn into the feces of those savages. Get ready!"
The whimper sounded, gradually connecting it into a whole.
Seeing that his subordinates were in a low mood, some people were even trembling all over and said, "Don't think that surrender can survive. In Nuergandusi, I have never seen any surrendered comrades still alive. Kill one to make a profit, kill two to make a profit, and make a formation!"
More than fifty soldiers stood in front of the camp, and their spears passed through the fence, but they seemed sparse.
The civilian men followed in silence, holding up swords and guns at the same time, which was a bit scary.
“******”
"The enemy began to attack! Everyone... is over! We are over!"
Zhang Ningwei's raised hand fell down dejectedly, and the soldiers also lowered their spears.
All this is because of the bows and arrows in the hands of the wild Jurchens on the horse’s back!
"Who gave them the bow and arrow? Who! I'm not convinced!"
That is not the original animal bone arrow, but the standard bow and arrow.
If the opponent does not have standard bows and arrows, Zhang Ningwei feels that he can hold on for at least one hour.
But now...
Zhang Ningwei said in grief and anger: "It's a North Korean!"
An atmosphere of despair spread throughout the camp. Those women pointed awls, knives and other things at their vital points, and some were still encouraging each other...
The Jurchens began to bend their bows and arrows. Zhang Ningwei was about to order to retreat, but a soldier next to him suddenly roared: "Sir, a cavalry is here!"
Who is it?
The roar spread throughout the camp, the women put down their "weapons", but the men were filled with sadness.
"This is Nuergandusi, there will be no reinforcements, no!"
"Fight with them!"
"Everyone retreated to the range of the bow and arrow..."
The retreating sergeants turned the idea of reinforcements into illusion.
Under the advantage, this will be a massacre.
During the retreat, a sergeant looked back and shouted in surprise: "Sir, the enemy has retreated!"
What rice?
Zhang Ningwei looked back and found that he had indeed retreated. A thought made him tremble all over.
"Reinforcements! This is our reinforcements! But where did they come from?"
Zhang Ningwei stumbled back and looked to the right greedily.
Fang Wu's scout Baihu was dealing with the enemy, and from time to time stopped to teach the wild Jurchens who were chasing each other with flintlock rifles to be human.
"We are saved!"
Escape from death made Zhang Ningwei's body weak. He lay on the fence and watched and muttered.
"Why are there only these people? What kind of musket do they use? How come the range is so long..."
Li Manzhu led his troops to the rear of the battlefield. When he saw only one hundred scouts Baihu, he couldn't help but sneer: "Does the Ming people dare to tease those savages?"
"Those savages are not afraid of death, and the Ming people are going to be in trouble!"
Less than two miles away, Mengge Timur was also expressing the same emotion.
"Sir, don't we care?"
After all, you have just been named the commander of the left guard of Jianzhou!
But Mengge Timur shook his head and said coldly: "It's not us who killed us. If you have the ability, go to the old forest and find those savages to take revenge!"
"Sir, Li Man is here to live."
Mengge Timur laughed and drove his horse to meet him.
"Go away, or stay?"
Li Manzhu asked.
Mengge Timur smiled and said, "These savages will become the best warriors after this battle, and I will definitely not leave."
Li Manzhu nodded and said expressionlessly: "That's up to you, but I hope you don't need to touch my Jianzhou Wei."
Mengge Timur was about to ridicule, but when he saw the black lines appearing in the distance, the brewing words turned into a marvel.
"What is that?"
"What is that?"
The men surrounding the fence asked one after another.
"It's our people! It's the Ming army!"
Zhang Ningwei jumped up like a child, and turned around in the air. He shouted happily as soon as he landed: "I just said, I just said it! How could it be that there is only this reinforcement! This is a scout!"
"Reinforcements are here!"
The cheers dispelled the fear, and the women in the camp could not sit still. They dragged their children and ran over, looking at the people appearing on the horizon greedily.
"We are saved!"
"The Ming Dynasty is mighty!"
"The Ming Dynasty is mighty!"
“…”
The shouts were trembling, and a sharp light flashed in Mengge Timur's eyes. He held the hilt of the knife in his hand and stared at Li Man's neck.
Li Manzhu stepped back and sneered: "You want to take the opportunity to kill me and then let the Ming people admit the established fact that you ruled the two ministries, right?"
Mengge Timur let go of his hand and said lightly: "It's cold and freezing, how many reinforcements can there be from Ming people!"
"Sir, the reinforcements of the Ming army have arrived. Apart from the civilians, there are about two thousand households."
The scout went around in a big circle and finally came back.
Li Manzhu had some struggle in his eyes, and then he looked at Mengge Timur, and both of them nodded slightly at the same time.
At this time, we have to look at the savages!
If a wise man is vulnerable, then...
