More than a hundred people besieged more than 20 wounded and exhausted soldiers. Not only was there no accident, but once the action was taken, it happened in the blink of an eye. You didn't even have a chance to escape. In fact, the Tatars were also preparing to do this. When reinforcements arrived, Several Tatar leaders briefly spoke forward, and without delaying the reinforcements, they just waved their hands and led the crowd to surround them. It was still the same old rule, ten archers found the high point, twenty people were on the outside, and the rest attacked.
But just when the Tatars were about to surround them, they suddenly heard the snoring of war horses in the south. The Ming army on the roof was overjoyed and shouted: "Our people are coming!"
Ah, the people below are really surprised. They came just in time, so timely. I guess if we wait a little longer, everyone here will turn into corpses.
"How many are here?" the person below asked.
The person above looked around and said, "About twenty."
ah! There were only more than twenty people, and the people below looked disappointed.
After all, with such a small number of people, there is no chance of winning against others if you put them all together!
However, although there is no chance of winning, there is a bargaining chip. At least he will not be killed instantly by others. At least he can delay for some time. Maybe follow-up reinforcements can arrive in time.
Besides, this roof is not the highest point. We can only see the number of people entering the ruined military fort, and we can only see the approximate number of people. If the walls are not intact, there are still people outside, or there are still a large number of people going up the mountain!
The Tatars who were about to take action also discovered that the Ming army had arrived with reinforcements. This made them a little surprised and hesitant. Things became complicated, so they did not take action immediately. They wanted to see how many people came from the other side. After all, at this time The central idea is no longer the few people in the yard.
If you don't know how many reinforcements the other party has come, if you take action rashly, you may be surrounded by them. Although there are only two roads up the mountain, there are many roads after you get up the mountain, and they can circle behind you at any time.
The Tatar leaders frowned and looked towards the south with their feet raised. Dozens of figures could be vaguely dispersed and approaching. It was obvious that they had also discovered the situation here, and their actions became much slower and more cautious.
Several Tatar leaders got together and began to discuss, and finally decided to find out the situation first, and not to take action rashly. If the other party only wanted reinforcements, then they would just do it together. But if they came with more than what they saw or those behind them, Also, you should think twice before you act. Don't be surrounded by others and you will be embarrassed.
So they wanted to take a look first before talking. Of course, they didn't just stare at each other with big eyes and small eyes, but sent people from outside the city wall and in the wild mountains and forests to go around and look behind each other.
See how many people came and see if there was any ambush.
Coincidentally, this Ming army reinforcements also thought so.
In fact, this Ming army is not really a reinforcement. Like the first batch, it is a patrol team. When Dai Ji, Zu Dabi's personal soldier, went to ask for help, he ran into the first patrol team first because of the situation at that time. In an emergency, the first team hurriedly called on the nearest team to go to support, and at the same time went to say hello to other places, and this team also came after hearing the news.
Although they arrived in front and back, the number of reinforcements was about the same, but the physical strength of this batch of reinforcements was relatively much better. Because the road ahead was cleared by the first batch, they could go straight up the mountain.
When the reinforcements went up the mountain, they heard silence and no shouts of killing. At that time, I was still thinking, had I arrived too late and been annihilated by the entire army?
But as soon as I approached the military fort, I felt something was wrong. There was a sound inside and it was very noisy. It was just that the wind was too loud and I couldn't hear clearly, but I could tell that there were a lot of people.
It was difficult to decide whether it was an enemy or a friend, but I thought that if it was a friendly army, we should rush down the mountain and return to the city now. How could we stay here and mow around.
Then there is another possibility that the two sides are confronting each other.
The frontier army is the most experienced force, and everyone is a veteran. Although you can probably guess it before you even come in, of course you should come in and take a look if you want to be sure.
But they couldn't come in rashly. They all got off their horses, because the inside was full of ruins and the snow was deep, making it impossible for horses to move. Even pedestrians had to step one foot deep and one foot shallow, and they could step on debris if they were not careful. Step on your feet. Fortunately, the previous batch of reinforcements have stepped out of the way, so you can just follow it in.
I had just come in and not gone far. I took a closer look and realized something was wrong. There seemed to be a lot of people in the ruins in the distance. So the leader asked someone to go up to a higher point to have a better look. He continued to move forward. Advance.
After turning around and walking for tens of meters, I found a group of Tatars surrounding a courtyard. I made a guess. At this time, people higher up also sent news that there were hundreds of Tatars on the opposite side. Already discovered this side.
They were all old fools. Looking at everything in front of them, the reinforcements understood everything instantly. It seemed that the previous batch of reinforcements were also surrounded at this time, and they also saw that the other party was about to take action, and they arrived just in time. .
Good guy, fighting in this street with several times the enemy army can't really gain much advantage, but it can delay time, and it doesn't take long for reinforcements to arrive, because there were at least six troops patrolling the trench at that time. There are more than ten people in the small patrol team, and there are more than twenty people in the large ones. They are just far apart and cannot come together. But as long as they are notified, they will definitely come. It's just a matter of front and rear.
So he expected that there were at least fifty or sixty people behind him, and they would arrive soon.
Twenty people fighting hundreds of people will cost you a life, but forty people fighting hundreds of people may not be able to do it, but they will not be killed instantly. They only need to delay the arrival of reinforcements, one hundred and eighty versus one hundred and eighty, even if it is a difference of more than a dozen We are really not afraid of twenty!
Although in terms of cavalry archery and individual combat, the Ming army may be slightly inferior to the Manchu cavalry. Of course, this is an overall comparison. When the Guan Ning army was at its peak, it really dominated them, but later... both psychologically and overall actual combat level Really timid.
However, since the victory at Ningyuan last year, the morale of Guan Ning's army has been like a rainbow. Although its strength has not yet returned to its peak, its momentum and courage have swept away the gloom and fear of the past.
So if we have the same strength at this time, we may not be able to defeat the Tatars in field cavalry and archery, but in hand-to-hand combat in the streets, hey, I really don’t worry about you!
But now there is still a huge disparity in the strength of the two sides, so why doesn't the other side take action quickly?
After just a moment of doubt, the leader of the reinforcements suddenly woke up. The other party did not understand the situation and did not dare to take action easily.
Good guy, if that's the case, then take the opportunity to bluff. If you can delay the action longer, the damage will be reduced a lot, and he is sure that the other party will send people around to investigate at this time.
Well, you come to explore, and I will create a momentum. The leader is about to separate four of his men into the mountains and forests outside the city wall to make some noise to confuse the enemy.
But at this moment, one of his subordinates rushed over, and there were forty or fifty people coming down the mountain!
Good guy, the team leader was overjoyed and more confident. He didn't send anyone to do anything in the forest anymore. He just told the people at the top to look clearly behind him and shoot him directly if he saw any Tatar spies coming around.
As soon as the arrangements were made, he opened his mouth and shouted into the courtyard: "Is this Luo Sansheng inside?"
"Exactly, who is that brother outside?" Luo Sansheng was the leader of the first batch of reinforcements. He returned when he heard the call. The wind was so loud that he couldn't really hear who the other party was.
"I am Gui Men Guan, what's going on inside Boss Luo?" Gui Men Guan's surname is Gui, and his given name is Mengguan. It is said that his father wanted him to be a high official in his dreams, so he gave him this name. However, the people in the army called him Gui Men Guan, which is a homophone of Gui Men Guan.
"Damn it, Brother Gui, please come here. The boss here is injured, plus I have twenty-seven people. How many people are here on your side?" Luo Sansheng knew that some of the Tatar soldiers outside could understand Han. Some of them were even Han Chinese, so they didn't dare to say Zu Dabi's name easily. Whether the other party guessed it was another matter.
"I have over thirty people here, but there are hundreds of brothers down the mountain who will be here soon. Boss Luo, wait a moment, and when the brothers down the mountain come up, we will start fighting with those idiots!" Gui Menguan said deliberately.
Sure enough, someone from Tatar frowned after hearing this. He wanted to send someone to find out just now, but now he reported his family name on his own, and it didn't look like he was lying. There were indeed twenty or thirty people there. As for whether they were up or down. There are really hundreds of people, but I don’t know. If there are really...
For a moment, they were unsure and did not dare to take action.
We still have to wait and wait for the spies to report whether there is anyone there.
"Wait for the brothers to come up, go around and block them, leave no one behind, or kill them all!" Luo Sansheng said loudly again, and he said it deliberately to the Tatar soldiers!
After hearing this, the Tatar leader's face turned livid, he gritted his teeth and cursed, and was about to take action. Fortunately, the people next to him stopped him, but it was better to be cautious!
But the other side of the ghost gate was still yelling and saying: "That's natural, we will let these idiots go and never come back..."
While he was talking, there was a commotion behind him, and the third batch of reinforcements arrived!
In other words, all the teams sent by the Ming army to inspect the trenches had arrived, totaling more than a hundred people, and they were on par with the Tatar soldiers on the opposite side.
But the situation is a bit complicated. The Ming army is in the southern half of the ruined military fort, and the Tatars are in the northern half. There are more than 20 Ming troops in the middle courtyard, but the courtyard is under siege by the Tatars.
The key point is in the middle courtyard.
If these twenty people were not under siege, the Ming army might have withdrawn directly.
The problem is that these twenty people are under siege, and it is impossible for the Tatars to let them out easily, because the other party has guessed that one of them may be Zu Dabi.
How could they let such a big fish go so easily?
If they don't let go, the Ming army will definitely not leave, so the two sides can only continue to face each other like this.
But why didn't they start fighting immediately?
