In the big tent, father and son remained silent for a long time.
"Father, what are we going to do? Could you please say something?" In the end, Abu, who was still simple-minded, could not hold back his anger and said in a loud voice.
"Hey..." Arutai sighed, looked at his two sons, and said quietly: "It seems that we can't win this city this time."
"It seems that we can't take the city this time." Arutai sighed, looked at his two sons and said, "What I mean is, how about we withdraw our troops overnight?"
"Ah?!" Abu An's eyes widened and he said in disbelief: "Then our hard work this month has been in vain?"
"Hey, the Ming army was not fooled. Their army is advancing slowly, and we have no chance to take advantage of it." Arutai said with a gloomy expression: "Once their army of hundreds of thousands reaches the city, we will not be able to withdraw even if we want to...
"Marchs and battles have always been illusory, lest they boast too much, they dared to call themselves a hundred thousand troops when they only had 30,000 to 50,000 men. Wang Xian had 80,000 troops and claimed to be 200,000. Arutai gave him a discount, thinking that
The Ming army numbered no less than one hundred thousand.
"Hey..." Abu An only thought about it and said dejectedly: "That's right. It's really shameless to just retreat in such a dejected manner..."
"What's face? Preserving strength is the most important thing!" Arutai has been ups and downs for many years, and has long realized the first truth of survival on the grassland.
"That's what father said." Abu said in a low voice.
Seeing that the father and son had decided to escape, Shi Niqian sneered contemptuously in his heart. This was his chance to show his superiority. He cleared his throat and said in a deep voice: "Father, you must not retreat! If you retreat at this time,
All the prestige and momentum we have accumulated over the years will be in vain." He glanced at Arutai and said, "Everyone in the grassland will say that my father is not only afraid of Zhu Di, but also any cat or dog can scare him away!"
Arutai heard this harshly and snorted with a straight face: "Then Wang Xian is not a cat or a dog, but the most powerful person in the Ming Dynasty."
"What battles has he personally commanded? Has he ever fought against us Mongols?" Shi Nigan said disdainfully.
"Have you forgotten that time six years ago?" Arutai said with a dark face: "He had hundreds of hands, so he gave us..." Arutai wanted to say 'scared away', but it was too hard to say it.
"That time six years ago," the disdain on Shi Nigan's face became even stronger: "It only means that he can play tricks and is not a real man!" Shi Nigan even wanted to say, 'That's because the old man
Dad, you are as timid as a mouse, so you are scared away by others' bluff.' Of course, he did not dare to say this.
"Okay, don't go too far!" Arutai felt embarrassed and waved his hand: "Of course I don't want to withdraw the troops, but the situation is stronger than the others. We have been attacking for a month and still haven't captured the city.
.Now that the morale of the defenders in the city is high, it is even more difficult to chew. If we don’t leave, are we waiting to be made dumplings by the Ming army?”
"Father, forgive me!" Shen Nigan said loudly and plausibly: "The reason why we were unable to attack the city for a long time is because we had the intention of besieging the city for reinforcements and have been unwilling to attack with all our strength! Once we use all our strength, this bullshit royal city will not be able to bear it.
Attack!" He took a step forward and clasped his fists and said: "If my father agrees and my son takes command tomorrow, I dare to issue a military order and guarantee that we will capture this city within one day!"
"Brother, military orders cannot be issued casually. If you fail to complete them, you will lose your head!" Abu Zhi'an seems to be honest and honest, but he is a good hand at digging holes for the boss.
"Hmph!" Shi Nigan glared at Abu Ji'an angrily and said coldly: "There is no joke in the army. If I can't finish it, you can just behead me!"
"That's what you said..." Abu Ji'an sneered.
"Okay!" Arutai shouted to stop the overt and covert fighting between his two sons, looked at Shenirgan and said, "Have you ever thought about it, the Ming army is hundreds of miles away, what will happen if we suddenly attack?"
"Isn't there a second brother? Isn't it possible that his 40,000 elite troops can't be deployed?!" Shi Nigan said with some gritted teeth. He was full of resentment towards his father for handing over the main Tatar force to Abu Zian'an, and the Mongols were also jealous of Ran.
Contaminated with the customs of the Han people, some people are particular about elders, but in the final analysis, strength is still respected. Arutai, an old fool, gave more than two-thirds of his tribe's troops to Abu Ji'an, what will he do with the eldest son of Shi Nigan?
land?
Therefore, Shi Nirgan worked hard and must capture the Great King's City to prove that he is the true heir of the Tatar tribe!
"Of course my army is not afraid of the Ming army!" Abu Zhi'an glared at Shenigan and said, "But this is the strength of us Tatars, how can we fight against the Han people?"
"That's right," Arutai said with deep understanding: "The Ming army has too many troops. Even if we want to fight them, we must plan carefully, just like last time, and we must not waste the precious lives of our own men."
"Father, don't worry. The Ming army is still a hundred miles away. With their speed, it will take two days to get here." But Shi Nigan said confidently: "We will just attack the city with all our strength. If Wang Xian uses light cavalry
If he comes to rescue, he must not have many troops, and it is just a good time to give our cavalry a beating. If he still follows the plan, by the time he arrives, we will have captured the city long ago. Not only will we have enough to eat and drink, but we will also be able to advance and retreat freely."
As he spoke, Shi Nigan tried his best to describe a bright future and said: "Father, this king's city has countless treasures, mountains of food and grass, and the city walls are strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack. If it falls into our hands, why should we fear the imperial army coming from afar? And
If they confront each other for a while, they will surely be reduced to weaklings, and then they will be eaten without any effort..."
"Hmm..." Arutai was moved by the beautiful prospect described by Shi Nigan. Of course, the more important reason is that he himself couldn't let go of the fat meat in King City. He couldn't help but murmured: "If only one day
It would be best if we could capture this city within a short period of time..."
Seeing that his father was being persuaded by his elder brother, Abu was secretly anxious and said in a low voice: "Brother, you have already said that this royal city is easy to defend but difficult to attack. How can you guarantee that it can be captured in one day?"
"I have my own way..." Shi Nigan glanced at Abu Ji'an contemptuously, and it felt really good to have his IQ crushed.
Arutai pondered for a long time, finally made up his mind, looked at Shenirgan and said: "Then I will give you one day..."
"Thank you, father! My son will definitely not disappoint you!" Shi Nigan was overjoyed.
"..." Abu An only twitched the corner of his mouth and said nothing more. But he shouted in his heart: 'Just wait and see the show!'.
The head of the King's City was brightly lit, and the defenders lit countless torches and even used rockets to ignite the wooden beams thrown under the city, lighting up the city as bright as day. This was to guard against Tatar night attacks, and during the month
In the city defense battle, the defensive intelligence of the defenders increased rapidly. They almost knew what to do at what time without command, so that the enemy could not take advantage of it.
Despite this, Baoyin still patrolled the city head carefully, lest there be any omissions. Wherever she went, the soldiers and civilians patrolling the city head were all in awe, and stood up to salute her.
Many men and women looked at Baoyin as if they were seeing a god, with reverence and fanaticism. This was not only because of her distinguished status as Mongolian Beiji, the eldest princess of the Ming Dynasty, and the Lord of the Hetao, but also because she single-handedly created these two
This city gave the Mongolian and Han people the gentlest shelter, allowing them to live and work in peace and contentment, without worries about food and clothing. Moreover, because of her bravery and fearless performance in the battle to defend the city, and her commanding performance, they believed that she was the protector.
Fengzhoutan and Chilechuan, the goddess of victory who protects the happy life of the people of the two ethnic groups...
Although she had not applied makeup and still had a lingering look of exhaustion, Baoyin had a heartfelt smile on her face, which was so bright and beautiful. The Mongolian and Han warriors who paid tribute to her were stunned. These were the same as those of the enemy.
The man who was fearless in fighting felt flustered and short of breath. He didn't dare to look at her more, and he couldn't bear to look away from her. It wasn't until Baoyin walked away that they recovered from their loss and started talking in low voices...
…
"Bieji looks so beautiful today!" This is a Mongolian warrior.
"Nonsense, when has Her Royal Highness the Princess not been beautiful?" This is a Han man.
"Of course, I mean today looks very special..." The Mongolian warrior explained hurriedly and clumsily: "It's just different from usual!"
"Maybe the reinforcements are coming soon, so you are in a good mood." Another man guessed.
"A bunch of idiots," a woman who was taking care of the wounded at the top of the city revealed the secret: "That's because Beji's brother-in-law is coming!"
"Ah..." The men of all ethnic groups who had been excited to meet Baoyin suddenly turned into eggplants beaten by frost. They all became dejected. Only then did they remember that it was not Baoyin's husband who led the imperial army to come to the rescue.
Son-in-law, Wang Xian, the governor-general of the Ming Dynasty!
"Humph! The Han people are not worthy of us at all!" the Mongolian man said through gritted teeth.
"What's wrong with the Han people?!" The Han man snorted in displeasure, but the conversation changed and he and the other party were on the same side again: "Although the man named Wang is indeed not worthy of the eldest princess!"
"It's just that! It's not worthy!" The soldiers on the city wall shared the same hatred and slandered Wang Xian.
"Toad wants to eat!"
"Yes! Toad!".
The night wind carried the voice far away, all the way to Baoyin. When Sana heard this, her branches trembled with laughter and she said: "The prince-in-law is the public enemy of the men in Hetao..."
When Baoyin heard this, he also smiled heartily, waved the riding crop in his hand and said: "When he arrives, give him a good look..." He said something fierce, but the shy and joyful look on his face could even be seen by a blind person.
come out.
Sana sighed helplessly to herself, thinking about Beiji's father-in-law, she was so frightened...
Sana was just about to tease Baoyin a few words, but saw her stop talking and look at the Tatar military camp outside the city. She couldn't help but frown: "What are they doing?"
Sana quickly put away her laughter and followed Baoyin's line of sight. She saw that the lights in the Tatar camp were also brightly lit. The people inside seemed to be in chaos. There were cavalrymen walking around, and there were faint sounds of women crying.
