Chapter 212 Close the city

Ten miles away from Yidu City, the battle between cavalry was coming to an end, and the shouts of killing were gradually approaching Yu Wu. As the commander, Li Mingcheng was being escorted by a team of confidants and retreated towards Yidu City.

After less than a stick of incense, their elite cavalry were completely defeated by the attacking Western Army. Although the iron-armored charge caused considerable casualties to the Western Army at the beginning, the number was too small. In addition, the cavalry of the Western Army was even better than the cavalry of the Yidu Mansion. With sharp firearms, after suppressing their charge momentum, they fell into the vast ocean of besieging the Western Army.

Seeing the cavalry trained by Yidu Mansion that had been exhausted from money and food were killed by the Mongols, Li Mingcheng felt that his whole heart was so heavy that he could not breathe.

At the moment, the Western Army was chasing and chasing, and Li Mingcheng had no chance to explain anything more. When he rushed to the city gate, the defenders were so nervous that they could not breathe. Because behind Li Mingcheng and the others, there could be seen a large number of cavalry.

"Open the door quickly! Open the door!" A confidant shouted at the soldiers guarding the city.

"No, let's open the wooden rafts!" Although the commander guarding the city knew Li Mingcheng's identity, he did not dare to risk letting the Mongols enter the city. So he immediately stopped the people below from putting down the suspension bridge, but threw out a few wooden rafts and let them pass the moat through the wooden rafts.

As the capital of Jingdong Road, Yidu Mansion has a moat, and it is not narrow. It is about two meters wide, and a few wooden rafts obviously cannot be paved into a temporary crossing bridge.

And at this time, there is no time to lay a bridge for them.

Seeing that the pursuers were about to be pursued, Li Mingcheng and the others had no time to worry about the uncooperation of the defenders. They had to abandon their horses and rushed to the suspension bridge.

At the same time, a team of confidants turned their horses and rushed towards the direction of the Western Army.

"The mantis arm is overestimating his ability!" Ulaanbari saw it and said coldly. There are also literacy squads in the army, especially for the generals, the number of words recognized has become a rigid requirement for the generals. These idioms were taught by the clerk of the army.

The cavalry running in the front immediately began to shoot arrows. When they approached, all the cavalrymen who tried to stop the Western Army had been shot off their horses. After rushing to the moat, Li Mingcheng and others had already arrived at the city gate.

Seeing that the corner gate had been opened, Ulaanbari would certainly not let them return to the city like this. He immediately took off the longbow on his back and pulled Hyun full with force. Then with a whoosh, the arrow galloped away.

Then Li Mingcheng, who was being protected by his confidant, immediately fell on his confidant in the middle of his back.

Although not every cavalry in Eastern Mongolia is a sharpshooter, in terms of riding skills, it is more than enough for Li Quan's cavalry. Ulaanba was able to become the leader of the Qianhu, who was the six kings before, which was also because he had outstanding riding skills and stood out.

In the end, Li Mingcheng was carried back to the city by his confidants, and the corner gate was completely closed. Looking at Yidu City on the other side, Ulaanbari knew that the other party had made up his mind to defend himself.

However, the cavalry have all arrived here, so they cannot do nothing. Ulaanbari ordered the troops below to set up camps and make fires to make food. At the same time, they sent a small group of cavalry to start implementing the three-light policy of "relocating the people, robbing all their property, and burning up all their houses and fields" around Yidu Mansion.

Eastern Mongolia is so short that people are so scarce that they don’t give Yidu Mansion a ruthless person. How can they attract immigrants to Eastern Mongolia? In the absence of food and clothing, the growth of refugees will also hinder local peace. Even if Li Quan can still take charge of Yidu, he will have a headache about this.

At present, the most intuitive thing is to cause psychological blows to the defenders and people in the city. After all, the Western Army attacked very quickly, and the vicinity of Yidu can be regarded as one of the rare and prosperous places on Jingdong Road. Therefore, there are many villages, villages, and villages.

Many people were unable to escape into the city in time to avoid disasters, and as a result, they became the target of the Western Army's attack. Although the earth walls of some villages and towns were built high and the defense was tight, the Western Army brought a lot of black gunpowder this time. Just find a coffin or cabinet, and then dig a hole in the base of the wall, and the earth wall can be blown up immediately. Then the cavalry charged again, and the entire village could not escape the situation of destruction.

Moreover, before this operation, Ulutus also specially taught them to fully mobilize the people's "mass line". It means that when attacking Zhuangzi, the poor and poor people could be mobilized. Ask them to help transport supplies and other things, and allow them to take some things that the Western Army looked down upon or could not take away.

In this way, the relationship between the Western Army and the local people can be brought closer together and their resistance can be reduced.

I have to say that such an action plan is effective!

Later, many farms had almost no need for the Western Army to attack, so the internal forces opened the door, and then the wealthy family, who could be called a big family, was arrested by the Western Army.

The poor people were actually afraid of being settled by these big families afterwards, so they strongly supported the Western Army's behavior of taking away rich families. In order to prevent any fish that missed the net, these people who knew the inside story would take the initiative to inform the Western Army.

So a very strange situation happened!

The Western Army, which can be regarded as an invader, was actually welcomed by the people!

In just a few days, they have been blessed by the Western Army. The rich eaters are already full of oil and are almost overeating. The silk clothes that they have never worn before may not be able to wear high-quality leather boots in Eastern Mongolia throughout the year, warm and grand wool coats, and incredible white porcelain ware. They are extremely expensive, and the snow-white fine salt that poor families have never eaten.

These things are something they have never come into contact with so old age, and they can't even think about them.

Unexpectedly, I had it all at once.

Speaking of which, Li Quan's Red Coat Army has exploited the people below too fiercely. With the territory of several states and supporting nearly 100,000 troops, the taxes the people have suffered can be imagined. Moreover, after the wars in previous years, the local government has not recovered its vitality. With the small population, each people have allocated more heavy taxes.

The reason why we have not rebelled is that we have not yet reached the point of being forced to death. And compared with the surrounding areas, there is no better place to go. In this era of worse, there is never the worst, only worse.

Therefore, when encountering the deliberately "generous act" of Eastern Mongolia, these people are easily moved by the immediate interests.
