Chapter 56 Take over the mess
Duodo sent a scout to reconnaissance the movement of the defenders on the Great Wall. He received a letter from Fei Ge, saying that Zhang Qi had indeed relaxed his vigilance, and then he spread all over the six leaders of Baturdan, the Ordos tribe.
The Ordos troops, eager to avenge their shame, immediately raised their troops! The Mongolian army blew up quickly like a storm! And some vanguards were hiding not far from the Great Wall, and they arrived just after that, heading straight under the Great Wall.
"Light up the beacon!" Soon, the beacon fire ignited on the Great Wall! Wolf smoke floated in the sky!
When the Mongolian cavalry approached the Great Wall, the red cannons on the top of the city fired an angry anger! "Boom! Boom!" One after another, the shells hit the Mongolian cavalry.
A shot fell between the Mongolian cavalry that flocked to the ground, and it felt like a pot of explosion, and the Mongolian cavalry dispersed around.
"Swishhuishuishuishuishuishuishuishuishuishuishuishuishuishuishuishuishuishuishuishuishuishuishuishuishuishuishuishuishuishuishuishuishuishuishuishuishuishuishuishuishuishuishuishuishuishuishuishuishuishuishuishuishuishuishuishuishuishuishuishuishuishui
Huang Qi on the city shouted: "Tartar barbarians, listen to me! You play fake retreat and then go back and attack them unpredictable. We three-year-old children in the Ming Dynasty can't cheat you like this! If you want to play tricks, our Ming Dynasty is the ancestor! You should read more of our Han people's Sun Tzu's Art of War, and only then will you be qualified to show off your skills!"
The Ming army on the city also shouted loudly at the same time. They just wanted to use this to disintegrate the confidence of the Mongolian army and let them know that their sneak attack strategy was useless.
Duoduo understood it, he was stunned. He was surprised. Didn’t Zhang Biwu be imprisoned? How could the Ming army still see through his plan? Zhang Qi can’t fight, can he be prepared?
But at this point, the six leaders of the Ordos tribe were naturally unwilling to retreat. Of course, they had to gather 20,000 people to attack the Great Wall! This is their determination to flatten the pass here!
More than 20,000 Mongolian cavalry gathered, and there were five red-clothed cannons brought by Duoduo here, which were to compete with the red-branded cannons of the Ming army.
The most panicked thing about Guancheng was Zhang Qi. The general envoy also understood that only more than 3,000 defenders were difficult to resist the cruel army that was a brutal army that was stubbornly avenged with more than 20,000 positions. Instead of dying here, it would be better to return to the general, as it would be glorious to bring reinforcements. When the reinforcements arrived, they could recover and drive away the Mongolian soldiers.
He immediately said goodbye and said that he was going to the General's place to bring reinforcements. Of course, he would do the same, but he had no confidence. Will those who stayed still have a way out?
Zhang Qi repeatedly stated that he would defend his territory to the death and would never allow the Tatar soldiers to cross the Great Wall. However, as soon as the envoy left, Zhang Qi immediately called Zhang Biwu and asked Zhang Biwu if he had the confidence to defend the city.
When Zhang Biwu saw this, he understood. Zhang Qi wanted to leave. When he sighed, all officials were cowards! A sheep led a group of lions and could not beat a group of sheep led by a lion.
It’s good that Zhang Qi left! Without the person who is restrained, Zhang Biwu can let go of his hands and feet to command the battle.
So Zhang Biwu took the initiative and bowed: "My Lord Tongzhi, as long as I hand over the command power to me! I will definitely be loyal to the country! I must not let the Tartars cross the Great Wall!"
"Okay! Very good!" Zhang Qi was very satisfied and said, "Biwu, you know that there are only 3,100 troops here, and the garrison commands 5,600 troops. Now the vast majority of the troops are gathered here! I want to take 500 people away to support it not far away. This is the momentum of the horns, and I will also ask the commander for help from the general. So, you only have 2,600 people to be dispatched! You must guard it no matter what! I believe in you!"
Zhang Qi said and made a promise: "As long as you guard the Great Wall and prevent the Mongolian cavalry from crossing the invasion of the country, you will be a great hero! What is the position of commander? You see, the general has sent someone to commend you! So, it's time to make a name for thousands of people and make achievements in this dynasty! You must be the commander of the future!"
Zhang Biwu understood that Zhang Qi said this just to make him fight to the death. He was just a verbal promise and could not be taken seriously. It was just one thing: Zhang Biwu knew that he was a soldier and that guarding the country was his duty! He would not retreat for any reason.
Sure enough, Zhang Qi and Mr. Cai Qian took away five hundred people. They left the Great Wall and they were going to the rear. Because they knew that the troops here were too weak. If they had to fight against more than 20,000 people, it would be difficult to achieve even if they were defending the city. What is the promotion and wealth that should be done? Let’s wait to save your life first!
The general fled to the battle, which was a heavy blow to the morale of the army, which caused the morale of the army to fluctuate. Originally, there were only a few people and horses, and it was tantamount to injury. The worst thing was that the soldiers' confidence in defending the enemy was shaken. The fighting spirit of this 2,600-man Ming army fell into a collapse the moment the general escaped. Therefore, Zhang Biwu faced a mess and the situation was grim!
As soon as Zhang Biwu obtained command, the first thing he had to do was to establish the determination of the soldiers to defend themselves, and not let the soldiers collapse on the whole line as Zhang Qi escaped at the last moment!
As soon as Zhang Biwu returned to the city, he learned that the soldiers heard the news that Zhang Qi had escaped, and many people ran away. However, Deng Ba was prepared for it and killed two people in the last battle, and arrested all the more than 100 people who wanted to escape.
As soon as Zhang Biwu arrived, he was waiting for his disposal. At this time, the Mongolian cavalry began to attack the city! The morale of the Ming army was still floating! The Mongolians were determined to avenge their shame! Their morale was like a rainbow! Everyone fought to the death!
Zhang Biwu came to more than a thousand people arrested, and one of the men shouted: "All officials have escaped! What are we doing if we don't! Do we want to die here? If we want to deal with deserters, will we be executed if we escape, and the officials will not need to! We are not convinced!"
The others also shouted out: "Yes! I don't agree! We don't agree!" Not only were the people who were caught dissatisfied, but even the other defenders who were still resisting the Mongolian siege showed dissatisfaction.
Intimidate by power, they defend the city, but if they are not completely defended and have insufficient fighting spirit, and are half-hearted, the city will be broken sooner or later! These hundred people cannot be let go, but if they kill, they will establish authority. There are few people, and it will be even more difficult to defend the city! Moreover, intimidate by power, the defenders can only act temporarily. Over time, the effect of killing people to establish authority will disappear. It is difficult to kill and not kill!
Zhang Biwu thought about how to deal with these people! He asked the big man: "What's your name?" The man replied: "Uncle, I can't change my surname or change my name - Zhang Yufei!"
When Zhang Biwu heard this, he nodded and said, "Okay! Your surname is Zhang, and I am also Zhang! But I feel ashamed of this! It is simply a shame for our Zhang family! Our Zhang family is a man who stands tall and upright! But you, a coward who ignores your family and only knows how to escape by yourself!"
When Zhang Yufei heard this, he stood up excitedly and shouted excitedly: "I am not a coward! Listen! I am not afraid of death! I am not convinced! Why are we young men who fight to the death? But all the credits are taken away by those officials who escaped first! And we owe wages from time to time! I am not convinced! I am really dissatisfied! Moreover, I am from Yulin, so of course I want to defend my hometown! I am also a good man of the Zhang family!"
