Such a battle... no, no, in Ado's eyes this cannot be regarded as a war at all, at most it can only be regarded as confrontation and intimidation.
Since Abul and Kunbuha took refuge, everyone had a clearer understanding of the surrounding Mongolian tribes, so they had full confidence in their actions.
In the early years when Mongolia was strong, the attack and control of the eastern part of the grassland and even the northeastern hinterland of the Jin Kingdom were mainly carried out by Genghis Khan's younger brothers, the so-called host kings. In addition, Muhuali, who represented Genghis Khan himself, also participated.
In just a few years, the influence of the Mongols reached Linhuang Prefecture, Huining Prefecture, Zhaozhou, Taizhou and other important towns, cut off the Western Liaoning Corridor to the southeast, and covered a huge area of thousands of miles. Many foreigners outside the Mongolian headquarters were kidnapped.
Many powerful Khitan and Jurchen figures were involved in the service of Mongolia. During this period, Belgutai was stationed in Linhuang Mansion for a time, and after Muhuali, he gained control of the remaining Khitan tribes.
Later, Ding Haijun intervened in the Northeast and overwhelmed the Mongols with both force and financial resources. As the Xue army suffered setbacks in the Central Plains, the Hu people in the Northeast seemed to have been beaten to death and turned against Mongolia. The main force of the Mongolian army was transferred.
After that, many thousands of tribes were unable to gain a foothold and gradually retreated to the grasslands, barely maintaining the northeastern border between the Great Zhou Dynasty and Mongolia.
As the saying goes, the tiger is thin and the tiger is strong. This situation lasted for two years, and the Northeast Recruitment Department of the Great Zhou Dynasty did not dare to go further.
However, the people who understand the Mongols best are always the Mongols themselves, and the lower the Mongols are, the more they can feel the hardship of life, which determines the plight of many Mongolian tribes.
Abul, Kunbuha and others saw clearly that these thousand-household tribes in the eastern part of the grassland were not only unable to expand, but also unable to resist external aggression. What they relied on was the remaining power of Genghis Khan. Apart from this, they and the grassland have not yet been unified.
At that time, there was no difference in appearance from place to place.
After Lu Shu and others gathered Han slaves and seized the cattle and sheep in the pasture, they continued to use the ruins of Wusha Castle as their base.
The city originally had a five-mile-long city wall, but now only the city base, which is as tall as a person, is left. Most of the construction inside the city base collapsed, and the wood was burned or moved away. Only stones and bricks remain. Around the edge of the city, there were originally
There are two trenches. In the early years, the Mongolian army filled the trenches with thousands of horses carrying earth and filled them up.
The slope behind the city was not necessarily steep. The fences built by Han slaves overnight were not used to prevent Mongolian attacks, but were mainly used to prevent cattle and sheep from escaping.
Aduo once participated in the battle between the Ding Navy and the Mongols in the Haicang Town camp. He was very sure that the defensive capabilities of Wusha Fort were not one-tenth of that of the Haicang Town camp.
The combat effectiveness of this ragtag army is not even one-tenth of that of the Shangding Navy.
Not to mention the few soldiers in the fort...
What Ado can do these days is what he is good at: using discarded wood and weapon fragments to piece together several wolf fangs and several parapets, and using the grass all over the mountains and plains to make a large number of fire-throwing objects.
swallowtail torch.
Nothing else.
He still has many tool patterns in his mind, but it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. At the moment, he can't even make iron tools, so he can only make these few.
As for Lu Shu and Lu Wusi, Aduo estimated that they must be stronger, but their strength is limited. Lu Shu talked about his identity all day long to boost morale; Lu Wusi uncovered a few people who had sneaked into Wubao
of spies.
Apart from this, everyone was about the same in terms of commanding battle skills. Lu Shu was slightly stronger, but everyone was worried about him personally coming to the front line.
No matter how you look at it, if this kind of power is faced by a strong enemy, it should be destroyed with one blow. In Ado's impression, based on the combat effectiveness of the Mongolian army when they broke through the boundary trench, a random Mongolian centurion would rush forward in armor.
You can go into the Wubao to chop melons and vegetables.
But now, more than ten days have passed, and they still can't conquer a small ruin.
Thousands of Mongolians surrounded Usha Castle, and many thousands of households with Han slaves escaping from the surrounding area sent people. However, they were never able to organize a decent attack. Every time, there was heavy thunder and small rain.
After more than a dozen people died, they retreated.
The Mongols have always been tough and resistant to war, how could they become like this?
When Aduo went north this time, he saw a lot of Mongolians. It seems that they still have broad faces and high cheekbones...are they the same group, not modified?
He was confused for a long time before he understood the reason.
The Mongolians grew up eating cheese, mutton, and goat milk. As long as they did not encounter white or black disasters, they generally had enough meat, so they were stronger than ordinary Han people. Their characters were also very tough, and they could survive in harsh environments that the Han people could not withstand.
They can all survive.
After such a nation forms an army, the lower limit is very high, and there is no need to maintain the fighting will and tenacity. But the leader of this army has changed his mind.
In the past two years, most of the trade between the grassland and the Central Plains has been in the hands of Yeli Yasi, who controls Gou Luo. Yeli Yasi has made huge profits from this. Not only did he not suffer losses from Han'er, but he continued to
Expand the territory of the people and members of the tribe.
These thousand-household tribes on the eastern edge of the grassland can only hold their noses and flatter Yeliyasi, but Belgutai has taken Yeliyasi's market, how can they share the benefits?
In the final analysis, the cause of these troubles has nothing to do with them, and the armies of the Western Regions fighting against the rebellious Mongols in the south have nothing to do with them. Even if Zhou Dynasty launched a large army to invade the grassland, the first people to deal with it would be the Golden Family, and they
These tribes who were far away from the inner circle of Mongolia were not related.
What they are struggling with are just the Han slaves, the stolen sheep and supplies... What big deal is this? When the whole mess is settled, if the Jin family repels the Zhou army, it will be too late for us to attack the city. If
Zhou Jun defeated all the tribes of the Golden Family. We kept these men alive, just to show our good will!
The rise of Mongol Uluth also created a large number of discerning Qianhu Nayans. Now these Qianhu Nayans have generally used their own wisdom. Even some Qianhu Nayans who were originally unrelated, in order to avoid being included in the Golden Family
He was mobilized to confront the Zhou army head-on. He also brought troops from far away to show off and fight against a powerful enemy.
Ado knew that a strong enemy was not that strong, so every time the Mongols launched an attack, it was like this.
Before dawn, they noisily formed their team, moved camps, distributed weapons, and arranged combat tasks. Then they rushed slowly to the city wall, shot an arrow, shouted for a while, rushed forward a few steps, and then stepped back. This performance made Ah
I felt in a daze that what I encountered was not the Mongolian army, but the beggar army under Dai Jin's rule.
Ado picked up the straight knife and patrolled along the city wall.
After returning to the original place, he found that the Mongolians were still making a fuss. The wind brought them a few words, and it seemed that a certain centurion in the camp had a conflict with others, and everyone else was making noises.
Their noises became louder and louder, and more and more torches were lit, which alerted the pack of wild dogs that were active around the ruins of the Tunbao.
These wild dogs should have originally been domestic dogs raised by the Jin Kingdom garrison along the boundary trench. After their owners were killed, they survived and relied on carrion to survive. After hearing the sound of the army mobilizing and shouting, these dogs probably thought that soon
There were corpses to eat, so with his eyes glowing green, he slowly approached the fort, and then carefully stayed out of the range of the arrows.
But the Mongols never left the camp and the battle never started.
The wild dogs ran out of patience. Grinding their teeth in disappointment and holding their tails between their legs, they walked through the battlefield where they had briefly fought in the past few days. One dog smelled the smell of dried blood on the ground and ran back and forth several times, whining.
But the other dogs ignored it, so it had no choice but to follow the leading big dog and run towards the continuous wilderness to the west of Tunpu.
It is getting dark, the sky in the east is white, but the sky in the west is still dim.
Under the dim sky, a dusty Zhou army sentry rode away.
