The area around the moat around the fort was quickly lit up with fire. Every forty or fifty steps, there was a bonfire, and the surrounding area was lit, including the other side of the moat.
The surrounding area of the fort became brighter, and the people on the fort wall felt a lot more relaxed, because once someone approached, they would be discovered by the people on the fort wall before they could cross the moat.
Under the firelight, no figure could escape.
Zhang Hong put one hand on the female wall and said with a smile: "Your method is really good. The moat is so bright. As long as someone goes into the water, it will be difficult to escape our eyes."
"This method is to be prepared. I don't think the Mongols may make a sneak attack." Zhang Sancha looked at the direction where the Mongolian army was stationed in the distance.
In that direction, a fire flickered.
Zhang Hong nodded and said: "I think what you think is the same. Su Nang will not do anything secretly. He will only send a large army to attack our castle directly. In Su Nang's eyes, we are not taken seriously at all."
"It would be better not to take us seriously," Zhang Sancha said. "Once the Mongols attack the city, we will give them a severe lesson and let these Mongols know how powerful we are."
Zhang Hong looked into the distance and said: "Su Nang won't be able to endure it for long, and the war will begin in a day or two."
"Huang Hong's people have long sent back the news that Su Nang's army only has five or six thousand men. We have more than 3,000 soldiers and 4,000 heavy troops in the fort, as well as so many cannons. Su Nang wants to capture the pier. A castle is nothing more than a fool's dream." Zhang Sancha said sarcastically.
In the Dunbao, dozens of cannons were deployed early. Compared with the passes of the Ming Dynasty, there were only a lot more cannons, and some of them were four-pound cannons and six-pound cannons with a long range and high power. Compared with several generals of the Ming Dynasty, Cannons are only strong, not weak.
The sky in the east turned upside down, and the night gradually faded away.
In the direction of the yurt where the Mongolian army is located, the mess does not look like a military camp at all, but more like an ordinary herdsman's residence. In addition, there are many herds not far away, making Su Nang's army look more like a big herdsman on the grassland. Tribes are moving pastures.
Su Nang was sitting in his tent, in the middle position.
On both sides were Taiji, who had come with him to attack the Tiger Flag Dunbao. There were more than a dozen people, all sitting cross-legged on mats.
"Today, I have decided to attack the Dunbao of the Tiger Flag. I wonder who is willing to be the vanguard?" Su Nang looked at the dozen Taijis in the big tent.
For a while, no one answered the call in the big tent.
Su Nang frowned slightly and said, "What? When it comes to attacking the Dunbao of the Tiger Flag, are you all afraid?"
At this time, a Taiji who was closest to the entrance of the big tent said: "It's not that I'm afraid, but Kankantada and Batu haven't arrived yet. Should we wait until they arrive to do it together?"
Su Nang waved his hand and said: "It's just a fort. Could it be that the six thousand warriors brought by Bentai Ji can't take it?"
No one in Taiji said anything in the big account, and everyone had an account book in their mind.
Siege warfare is the most disadvantageous for the siege party. Whichever tribe attacks the city first will suffer the most casualties in the future. No one is willing to be the vanguard of this army, and they all want to preserve the strength of their own tribe.
After waiting for a while, when no one answered, Su Nang's face sank and he said: "I know what you are worried about. In this way, I can guarantee that if the tribe is the vanguard, once they break through the Tiger Flag Dunbao, they will be the leader." Vanguard, you can share more of the benefits of the fort."
As his words fell, Youtaiji said: "If you want to attack the fortress of the Tiger Flag, you must prepare siege equipment. My tribe does not have these things, and it will take a few days to prepare."
Hearing this, Su Nang looked at the Taiji who was speaking and said, "Arslan, if you are the vanguard of the army, I will prepare siege equipment for you."
"I am willing to be a pioneer for Taiwan and Kyrgyzstan." Arslan stood up and saluted.
"Haha, okay." Su Nang laughed loudly and then shouted, "Wo Lun Kuo!"
The curtain of the big tent was opened, and Wo Lunkuo walked in quickly, knelt on the ground with one knee, and said, "The general will be here."
Su Nang said: "Give half of the siege equipment prepared before to Azilan."
"General, take your orders." Wo Lunkuo agreed. After standing up, he looked at Azilan who was standing in the tent and said, "Taiji, please follow me to get the siege equipment."
"Lead the way." Azlan said.
Wo Lunkuo led the way, and the two people walked out of the tent.
Su Nang looked at the other Taijis and said, "Since Arslan has agreed to be the vanguard of the army, you should also go back and gather the warriors from the tribe to go out with the army."
"Everything follows Taiji's orders."
All the Taijis in the big tent stood up and saluted Su Nang.
Su Nang walked out of the tent, and the bright light armor on his body shone in the sunlight, making it extremely bright.
The guards brought the war horse, Su Nang took the reins, turned over and sat on the horse.
Around him, his followers were guarding the surrounding area.
Woo! Woo! Woo...
The horns kept blowing, and the sound floated far away, and the entire Mongolian army camp began to gather troops.
On the wall of the Dunbao in the distance, Li Shuheng and several battalions in the Dunbao were standing behind the female wall, holding a monocular in his hand and looking at the Mongolian army in the distance.
"The Mongols blew their horns and were preparing to attack," Zhang Hong said.
Through the monocular, Li Shuheng could see the Mongolian camp in the distance starting to see Mongolian cavalry forming groups on the grassland.
Ma Yunjiu on the side said: "I came just in time to let these Mongolians see the power of our Tiger Flag, and also to prevent these Mongolians from thinking that our Tiger Flag is easy to bully."
Regarding the difficulties faced by the Mongols, the Tiger Banner has long wanted to fight back. However, because several military camps are still being expanded and it is difficult to break up with the Mongols, they have been enduring it. This does not mean that They were afraid of these Mongols.
Zhang Honghui turned around, looked at Li Shuheng, and said, "Deputy Director, I'm afraid the Mongols will attack the city soon. Do you think you should go back to the office first and wait for news?"
"No need." Li Shuheng waved his hand and said immediately, "None of us have ever experienced war. Back then, the headmaster and I and others faced Jurchens in Liaodong. The scene was much bigger than it is now."
Ma Yunjiu on the side said: "Zhang Yingzheng, don't worry, I will protect the deputy director."
Li Shuheng glanced at Ma Yunjiu and said, "I have arms and legs, and I'm not old. I don't need you to protect me. Besides, I still have Wu Bin by my side."
Seeing that Li Shuheng insisted on staying, Zhang Hong stopped trying to persuade him.
Although the Mongolian army was large in number, most of them were cavalry and were not good at attacking cities. Moreover, if there was danger, he could arrange for people to escort Li Shuheng away from the fort wall.
