"The Mongols have stopped! They don't dare to break into the camp! The commander is really decisive!"
Wang Shixian's deputy is a bald and capable middle-aged man named Wen Qian. Seeing the Mongolian cavalry slowly slowing down, Wen Qian couldn't help but his eyes burned with excitement.
"It's just a trail." Wang Shixian nodded slightly. His tone was not conceited or deliberately modest, but his words were more bitter.
The tragic defeats in the past few years have caused many soldiers to lose their normal judgment. The light cavalry is like a thin and sharp blade. Although its lethality is terrifying, it cannot be protected by heavy armor. However, if a camp of ten thousand people is not in chaos, there will be no flaws. Even if a small number of enemy cavalry breaks through, it will be useless.
This is a very simple truth and is common sense among warriors! There is nothing to admire!
It is because of our weakness over the years that the Mongols have become so arrogant... But if they are too arrogant, they have to pay with their lives!
Aljinchi? Mongolian elite? Only a hundred riders!
As long as our army goes step by step, they will come to die!
"The camp is stabilized! The Mongols cannot be allowed to escape!" Wang Shixian stared at the Mongolian cavalry sharply and said coldly: "Urge all departments to separately block the outer walls and block the trenches! Now that this piece of meat has been delivered to you, I I want it to rot in the pot!"
As soon as the military order was issued, the flags on several garrison towers waved continuously, and drums and trumpets sounded one after another. Wang Shixian's men immediately took action. The interior of the camp was still tight, and on the high walls outside, several groups of soldiers holding strong bows and crossbows appeared.
Previously, Yu Xiaowu led archers to support along the high wall, but arrived at the wooden bridge to the east a step too late and watched Zhang Jiao die in battle. This made him extremely angry and turned livid.
He rolled up his sleeves, moved the heavy antlers with two soldiers, and put them at the end of the wooden bridge. Then he shouted sternly: "The commander has ordered to seal the outer wall! We are here to stay! We can't retreat even one step!"
When he spoke, he did not look at the other group of soldiers at all.
The soldiers were all ashamed, and some almost cried. One of the generals immediately gritted his teeth and drew a knife, and scratched a deep scar on his handsome face: "My brother died, and our troops collapsed. But we are not timid! We are not afraid of death! These Tatars will be destroyed today. Avenge your brother!"
Zhang Jiao suddenly died in battle, and his troops were dispersed. According to military law, all of these subordinates should be killed. But this general was Zhang Jiao's only remaining clan brother, named Zhang Qian. He was always close to Zhang Jiao, but Yu Xiaowu found it difficult to attack him.
At that moment, Zhang Qian led others to stand in a row in front of the antlers. Everyone held swords and shields and roared: "Kill the Tatars and avenge the generals!"
Delbatu noticed the movements outside the camp, but didn't take it seriously.
Ordinary Mongolians do not understand the origins of many ethnic groups in the Central Plains Dynasty. In their concept, the Jurchens are the lords of the Central Plains, the Khitans are a weak and defeated ethnic group, and the Han'er are weak people who have been ruled by the Jurchens and Khitans for generations.
This idea is based on reality and cannot be said to be wrong.
The Mongols' continuous defeats of the Jin army in the past few years have further strengthened this concept. They became more and more convinced that there were many Han people, and there were occasionally heroes among them, but most of them were timid and easy to control. Han'er was a good farmer, craftsman, and slave, but he was by no means an expert on the battlefield, and was simply not good enough to fight against the Mongolian army.
Therefore, even if the situation changed subtly, Delbatu did not panic, and did not even consider leaving the camp.
The intelligence sent by the fourth prince was very clear. Guo Ning's elite main force, thousands of people, had all gone to Yidu, and those who stayed in Laizhou were all old and weak and miscellaneous soldiers gathered together temporarily.
The Mongolian Aljinchi trampled on these weak people, just like tigers and leopards walking on the sheep. Even if the sheep gather together, what is there to fear? Could it be that the sheep could turn back to eat the tigers and leopards?
These layers of rough campsites were a real hindrance. But tigers and leopards will always be tigers and leopards, and sheep will always be sheep. Don’t panic. It’s just that catching them will be more troublesome than before... Today we must turn the camp of these men upside down and make everyone frightened!
The Fourth Prince will definitely be happy if he knows about our victory!
Delbatu reined in his horse and said to his companions: "Find a loose camp with a lot of women! Rush in, kill them all, and drive them out!"
This is what the fighting between tribes on the grassland looks like. Delbatu was the best Alkinchi. He had braved the wind and snow countless times and traveled long distances to find campsites for hostile tribes to place women and children in the wilderness. Once he raided the camp and massacred the women and children in the camp, The men fighting outside will panic...and then the Mongolian army will kill the men too and wipe out the entire tribe.
This method has been used countless times. In fact, no instructions are needed. Every Mongolian knight is extremely familiar with it.
Hidden around the outskirts of every camp were wooden fences instead of rammed earth walls. The scene behind the wooden fences could not be hidden from anyone. Experienced players don't even need to see anything clearly. They can make the clearest judgment by just riding past and the vague images in their eyes.
After almost ten breaths, several cavalrymen came back in circles and pointed to a camp at the end of the road: "There! There are women and children there! Many! They are very scared!"
The iron cavalry roared, and the black whirlwind rolled up again.
"Damn! Are these Mongolians all mad dogs?" Wang Shixian, who was watching the battle from a high place, suddenly yelled.
He drew the knife in his hand and shouted to the left and right: "Follow me!"
At the same time, Delbatu roared. "Su He! Aser! Da Ritai! You guys rush forward!"
Following his order, the three knights whipped their whips wildly, whipping the horse's hindquarters until they were bloody and bloody. The war horse neighed angrily, but the reins were tightly strangled, and then its head and neck were hugged, and the horse's head was also wrapped in a felt robe. So the horse twisted its neck and ran wildly. The next moment, they crashed into the fence, both men and horses.
The fence was hastily built in a few days. The entire camp was divided into twenty or thirty camps, and each camp had a fence. However, due to the large amount of work, the defensive strength of each fence is actually very average. It is just tied with wood horizontally and vertically, and then propped up with a wooden stake on the back.
When the first strong horse hit, this section of the fence shook suddenly and made a creaking sound, but the Mongolian horse broke its bones and fell to the ground whining. The second strong horse collided again, and dozens of straw rope bindings on the fence broke at the same time. Several sections of thick wood suddenly burst open, and sawdust flew.
And the third strong horse followed immediately... With a loud noise, the fence collapsed!
The war horse rolled over and overturned the entire fence, its slender neck twisted into a terrifying shape, and the Mongolian knight with his feet tied in the stirrups also rolled over, spurting blood from his mouth.
Dozens of war horses rushed in through the gap in the fence.
Delbatu's war horse is as prancing as a tiger, and he holds a long straight sword high, its blade shining brightly. The sword flashed downwards like electricity, across the neck of a strong man, almost cutting off one third of his neck. The horse continued to move forward, and he struck another knife with his backhand, and the second knife penetrated the strong man's left chest from behind. , although it has not penetrated, blood is flowing.
More cavalry rushed through the gap, and the sounds of slashing with swords, shouts of killing, and screams came one after another.
The Mongolians' judgment was absolutely correct. There were really many women and children in this camp.
Most of the family members of Guo Ning's soldiers were settled in Sanshan Port in Xiyou Town to the west of Laizhou in advance. In case of emergency, they could board ships and take refuge at sea at any time, but a small number still stayed in Haicang Town.
These women and children were placed in a safer place inside the camp, but they never thought that the Mongols would penetrate right into the camp like wolf dogs that can track the scent of blood!
Yao Shier's wife Feng's face was pale. She had experienced many defeats in northern Xinjiang, and she had narrowly escaped with her life. This feeling of dying was all too familiar.
In front of them, there were the shouts of the Mongols like landslides and tsunamis, the muffled sound of galloping war horses crashing into the barracks and wooden huts, and the screams of their comrades when they were seriously injured. The sounds gathered together and formed some kind of terrible sound. Things spread in the air, making people weak in hands and feet, unable to stand or run.
Relying on instinct, she pressed the two children under her and covered them with her own body.
Then, someone grabbed her bun, yanked her up, and shouted at her.
Feng's temperament is a bit weak, and she is about to collapse. She could see and hear, but she couldn't react and her mind went blank. So the man slapped her hard twice, causing blood to bleed from the corners of her mouth and her teeth started to shake.
"Ah?" Feng finally came to her senses: "Ahan, are you there too?"
Lu Han had a cold face, pushed Feng back, and then said to the two children: "Run back, someone will cover you, don't be afraid!"
