Chapter seven hundred and fiftieth tide
At this time, there was a lot of noise on the top of the city. Herdsmen and soldiers were eating. Generally, they all ate similar foods, mostly solidified cheese. This thing has high nutritional value and is easy to come. Everyone has dozens of sheep and cows. Whether it is goat milk or cows, it is easy to make cheese. It is nutritious and hungry. Most people are eating this thing.
In addition to cheese, there are a small amount of wheat cakes or mixed grain cakes. In recent years, fewer and fewer Han people have farmed, and more and more Han people have run away. The horse market stopped first, and then they turned against He Yusheng into enemies. The food is getting less and less. Wheat cakes and mixed grain cakes have become rare things, and fewer people eat them.
Only a few soldiers with high status, good family background and good treatment are gnawing jerky. A piece of jerky with a big fist can last a day. Coupled with the best high-quality goat milk wine, it makes people feel full of strength.
However, there are very few people who are qualified to eat meat, and there is no one in a hundred. However, when each Taiji family went up to the city tower, several Taiji and a group of generals who were already at the city tower were sitting on the city tower and eating barbecue. On the huge grill was skewed with a golden grill, the aroma of the lamb was fragrant and the entire city tower could smell it.
The Mongolians have a very strong sense of hierarchy. Although they eat dried biscuits or black cheese at home, they are full of barbecue and drink wine. No one expresses their dissatisfaction. But some greedy people can't help but smell the fragrance a few more and just think that it's a meal for themselves.
Baiyin Taiji was responsible for guarding the south gate. When he went up the city tower, more than a dozen Taiji followed him up. The Taiji who were originally drinking with barbecue also came over. The walls of Qingcheng were no different from those of the Ming Dynasty. The base was three meters high, and the city tower was also a three-story building. On the highest floor, people stood in the distance to look out to find the enemy situation very early.
Bai Yintaiji felt heavy in his heart, and he had no intention of drinking and eating meat with others. There was a lot of water everywhere on the city wall. After dinner, the crowd was talking and walking everywhere, and there were messes everywhere.
Bai Yintaiji's mood suddenly became very bad... Such a city head seemed to be able to hold on? When we were talking in the hall this morning, everyone simply spoke from the number of people, regardless of the soldiers' training and equipment.
It is true that there are 40,000 people guarding the city, but there are already selected personnel on the top of the city. There are still many elderly herdsmen with frosty faces and half-grown children who are not yet fully grown. They are wearing fur coats and carrying soft bows on their backs. The bows are shot quickly and accurately, but Bai Yintaiji knows that when facing He Yusheng's troops, these arrows are useless and have no use at all.
If you may shoot ten thousand arrows and hurt dozens of soldiers who can kill Yusheng, you may not be able to shoot one person to death.
There were too many people on the top of the city, and with the smell of food and the fishy smell after the rain, Bai Yintaiji was a noble person at least, and she was so frowning.
The other nobles didn't care much. They sat cross-legged on the city tower, drinking wine and eating mutton, and some were still discussing the Nadamu Conference this year, and Bai Yin was speechless when he heard it.
A small Taiji walked to Baiyin happily with a large bag of goat milk wine in his hand and said with a smile: "Bai Yin Taiji, don't think too much. Although there are He Yusheng's whistle cavalry outside the city, their brigade of soldiers came from fifty or sixty miles away. Today, it will definitely not be reached. At least it will take three days."
This little Taiji is less than 20 years old, and his beard on his round face has not grown much. He did not participate in the war last year and stayed in Qingcheng. This year's war has not been brought to the front line. He is not afraid of He Yusheng, and he is still pointing to killing the enemy on the battlefield and promoting his reputation.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) Xiao Taiji held the wine bag and said drunkenly: "Come on, Baiyin Taiji, drink the bar first. This goat milk wine is the best. I have beaten several herd slaves to death for this wine..."
Bai Yin was bored, but she was not willing to let others down. After all, Taiji has the same identity, each with its own pastures and herdsmen. At this time, it is important to work together, rather than having one's own conflicts.
But if Xi Lingse is a high-ranking person, Taiji, who is more capable in the country, and is strict with laws and regulations on the city wall at this time, how could he look like such a mess?
Bai Yintaiji sighed and reached out to pick up the wine bag. Sheep milk wine is indeed the favorite of the Mongolians. Unlike horse milk wine, the production process of goat milk wine is complex, and it must be maintained with a good craftsmanship to have a good taste. Bai Yintaiji is a man in his thirties. Unlike short and strong Mongolians, he is tall and thin, and has a temperament of not being angry but not angry. This is a very outstanding Mongolian nobleman. If his background is noble, such as the direct descendants of the Da Khan of Tumote, or like Wanhu Jinon Elinchen of Ordos, he is the 20th generation grandson of the open Genghis Khan and a member of the serious Golden Family, Bai Yintaiji may not only have his current status. Unfortunately, his ancestors were just one of the brothers who followed Genghis Khan to conquer the country. When it was passed on to his generation, it was no longer considered noble in blood...
After Baiyin Taiji reached out, Xiao Taiji on the opposite side stopped moving, and the expression on her face was like seeing a ghost.
"What's wrong..."
Bai Yintaiji asked subconsciously, then woke up and immediately turned his gaze to the south side of the city wall.
It seemed that gray-black suddenly appeared on the horizon. Of course, the Mongolians had never seen the sea, but many of them had seen what the sea was like, and they had also seen Jining Haizi and Bai Haizi. When the sea came up, it was probably the case in front of them.
He could hardly see the edge at first sight, and everyone on the city was stunned, and the expression on Bai Yintaiji's face also frozen. Everyone on the city was performing similarly, and they maintained the posture they had before they found out.
Before this, everyone also discovered a small number of Heyusheng's whistle cavalry, but the whistle cavalry did not give much threat. When it came, these Mongolians realized that the threat of war had come unconsciously, rather than as they imagined, the enemy would have to wait several days before it could arrive.
The army on the horizon was uniform and did not make no noise. This was an army moving forward silently. There were only the neat sound of shabushing when more than 10,000 people were walking. The Mongolians had never raised silkworms, otherwise they would remember the sound of craving mulberry leaves in spring.
Only the dull, drum sounds that only once made once every few breaths broke the silence. The drum sounds seemed to be harmonizing the footsteps of the army. With a drum sound, it took several steps, not many steps, not many steps.
In the gray-black area are countless red military flags, fluttering in the wind, shining brightly under the sunset.
Then there was the light of the weapons. There were countless bright colors in the dark tide, like the stars at night, but they were much more domineering and hotter than the starlight. These lights stinged people's eyes, making the people on the city fall into the sea like winter, and the ice water instantly submerged people. Even in summer, under the stimulation of the military formation on the opposite side, the Mongolians felt cold all over and even felt despair.
Amid the rumbling drums, the Shang regiment army advanced to three to five miles outside the city. The main forces of the three infantry regiments formed a semi-encirclement, with two cavalry regiments on both sides, and the north.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) The area around occupied most of the area, and there were only some gaps on the road to Daqingshan. However, as long as the Mongols were not stupid, they would understand that there were still heavy troops guarding the northward fleeing. This road seemed to be a passage, but in fact it was a dead end.
Five regiments had more than 16,000 people, plus artillery regiments and more than a dozen baggage brigades, and more than 30,000 troops approaching the city.
Behind them were more baggage soldiers and central troops. Zhang Han was already on the road and arrived soon.
"Qingcheng!"
Several miles apart, the legendary city is right in front of you. People seem to roar together.
No general has ordered camping yet, but he just ordered the army to be on guard. Everyone stood attentively, and the bright light in his eyes fell on the city in front of him.
The city tower, city wall, and the magnificent spire of the Buddhist temple in the city.
Everything is the same as the rumors. It has been coveted for more than a year and mobilized for more than a year. Many soldiers even knew the military department’s desire for Qingcheng when they were training in Lizhuang, and knew that Zhang Han was going to enter Qingcheng and master the overall situation of this land. These simple men had no other idea, just wanted to take down this city and give it to Lord Zhang, asking him to step on the city built by Altan Khan under his feet!
"Qingcheng!"
"kill!"
I don’t know who roared, and all the soldiers roared angrily.
The roar rolled forward like thunder, symbolizing will, determination, desire, and everything related to male feelings.
At this moment, the three armies roared in unison, whether it was officers, cavalry, infantry, combat soldiers, gunners, gunners, baggage soldiers, cooks, and a small number of people following the city, everyone was watching the city and roaring in anger.
"Is this the Shang army?" Little Taiji, who was still holding goat milk wine, seemed to feel like crying. This was the first time he saw such an army. When he saw such a formation, he felt the pressure like a mountain for the first time. The army formation in front of him was as high as the mountain and as deep as the sea, which made people feel extremely desperate after seeing it. No one dared to think of rushing towards the opposite army with a cavalry formation. Although it seemed that the army besieged and the army guarding the city was about the same number as the army guarding the city, and even more Mongolians guarding the city, and all were cavalry, at this time, even this noble Taiji, who was just arrogant and looked down on the Han people and the Han army, became frightened in front of such an army, and his whole face was full of fear.
"It's them." Bai Yintaiji still remembered his miserable defeat last year, and still remembered the situation at that time. He brought tens of thousands of people to pick up Xi Lingse, but was attacked halfway by the three thousand merchant troops. The chariot camp, cannon formation, the muskets fired at the same time, and the lead-made projectiles that were screaming. In just a moment, the cavalry of tens of thousands of people collapsed. No one dared to stand in front of this terrible army, even if the number was several times higher than the other side.
What a painful memory this is. Bai Yintaiji still remembers it freshly. When he thought about it, his face turned pale. The army in front of him was ten times the size of the Shang army that ambushed at the time. From this point of view, the Qingcheng defenders dared not take the initiative to attack to suppress the Shang army, even if they retreated to defend the city, it would be very dangerous.
"Please come to Jinong." Bai Yintaiji took a deep breath and said, "No matter what, he has to deal with this matter. Whether to completely seal the door or fight before the enemy is firmly established, he has the final say!"
