On the wall of the Dunbao, Li Shuheng held a monocular telescope in his hand and kept staring at the movements of the Mongolian army.
At this time, he noticed that there was a team of several hundred people in front of the Mongolian army, running towards the Dunbao with a ladder.
"These Mongolians are really not afraid of death. Last time they built a few siege vehicles to protect themselves from shelling, but this time they didn't prepare anything. It seems like they were broken." Zhang Hong, standing aside, said with a smile.
Li Shuheng stared at it for a while with the monocular telescope, frowned, shook his head slightly and said, "No, no, it doesn't seem to be Mongolian."
"Not Mongolian?" Zhang Hong was stunned for a moment, then picked up his monocular telescope and looked over.
Li Shuheng said at this time: "Give me the order, the people in the artillery team should not fire yet."
The messenger on the side hesitated for a moment and looked at Zhang Hong.
Zhang Hong said: "What are you still doing? Why don't you go to the artillery team to convey the deputy director's order?"
He had no dissatisfaction with Li Shuheng's sudden order to the artillery team. If it were him, he would have given the same order.
"Yes." The messenger agreed and trotted towards the direction of the artillery team.
Li Shuheng said with a cold face: "These northern captives deserve to be damned. They actually got Han people to attack our fortress."
"This is not the Ming Dynasty. Where did the Mongols find so many Han people? There seem to be five or six hundred people." Zhang Hong frowned.
Li Shuheng said in a cold voice: "The Northern Barbarians used to plunder a lot of people from the Ming Dynasty. The descendants of these people basically stayed on the grasslands. There are also some people who could not stand the oppression of the government and fled with their families from the Ming Dynasty to the grasslands."
The dress of the Han people was very different from that of the Mongolians. Through the monocular, the two men could easily recognize that the people rushing towards them carrying the ladders were all Han people.
"Deputy Director, what should I do?" Zhang Hong asked Li Shuheng.
He couldn't bear to attack the Han people, especially the Han people on the grassland who looked like they were in rags and didn't even have any decent weapons. At a glance, they knew they were poor people forced by the Mongols to attack the city.
Li Shuheng bit his lower lip and was speechless.
He also saw that the Han people on the grassland were forced here by the Mongols, and it was difficult to kill such unarmed people.
The artillery team received an order prohibiting firing, so naturally they stopped firing and watched the people on the grassland holding ladders getting closer to the Dunbao.
On the side of the Mongol army.
Batu watched the Han slaves getting closer and closer to the fortress of the Tiger Flag, and said with a smile: "These Han people always pretend to be kind. If it were us Mongolians, they would have taken action long ago, but This is good, once those Han slaves attack the fortress wall of the Dunbao, the army can take advantage of the situation to attack the city and capture the Dunbao with the Tiger Flag in one fell swoop."
On the Mongolian army's side, several Taijis have been paying attention to the Han slaves who were driven to attack Dunbao.
Kankantada smiled and said: "Originally I just wanted to use these Han slaves to test the defense of the Dunbao. I didn't expect that these Han people were so indecisive and gave us Mongols a chance to take the Dunbao."
Su Nang, who was riding between the two men, had an expressionless expression.
He regretted it in his heart. If he had known that he could capture the Tiger Flag's Dunbao so easily, he would have done so a long time ago. If not, he was just a Han slave, and he could gather thousands of people at random.
Kankantada turned to look at Su Nang and said, "Su Nang, you can send orders to all the Taijis to get them ready to attack the Dunbao."
"Those Han slaves haven't climbed onto the fort wall yet. Let's wait until they do." Su Nang replied expressionlessly.
As the commander-in-chief of the Mongolian army, he did not want to listen to Kankantada in everything.
Even in his heart, he didn't want those Han slaves to have a chance to get close to the fort of the Tiger Flag. If the Tiger Flag was lost because of these Han slaves, it would make him, the commander of the army, look very incompetent.
Batu just wanted to persuade him, but when he saw Su Nang's expression, his open mouth closed again.
As the supervising minister sent to Tumote by Lin Dan Khan, he was naturally not an impulsive person who only knew bravery. As soon as he saw Su Nang's expression, he knew that Su Nang had a discord with Kankantada in his heart.
In this regard, he was happy to see this scene.
The discord within Tumut is exactly what Lin Danhan wants to see.
Kankantada on the other side heard Su Nang's words and felt dissatisfaction with him in Su Nang's tone. He hesitated and said nothing.
The top priority now is to capture the Dunbao of the Tiger Flag. He does not want to conflict with Su Nang, causing the Mongolian army to fall apart.
The Han slaves were getting closer and closer to the Tiger Flag Dunbao, less than two miles away, and had already entered the range of the cannon on the fort wall.
Li Shuheng put one hand on the parapet and said hesitantly: "If the suspension bridge is lowered, can these Han people be successfully brought into the Dunbao?"
As he spoke, he looked at Zhang Hong.
Zhang Hong shook his head and said: "Once the suspension bridge is lowered, the Mongolian cavalry will have the opportunity to rush over. I am afraid that before all the Han people can enter the fort, the Mongolian cavalry will rush in first."
"Is there no way to protect the safety of these Han people?" Li Shuheng asked again.
Zhang Hong said: "The suspension bridge must not be lowered."
The Mongolian army is a few miles in front of the fort. It will take a lot of time for the five to six hundred Han people to enter the fort through the suspension bridge. This time is enough for the Mongolian cavalry to come over.
He would not take this risk, let alone gamble the lives of the people in the castle.
Li Shuheng grabbed the green bricks on the female wall with his right hand, and his nails made white marks on it. His breathing seemed a little rapid.
"Deputy Director, we can't wait any longer." Zhang Hong said to Li Shuheng.
Li Shuheng said with an ugly face: "They are all Han! And these Han people can tell at a glance that they are having a hard time in the hands of the Mongols."
"It's true that they are Han people, but they should not help the Northerners attack our fortress." Zhang Hong said.
At this moment, without using a monocular, I can already clearly see the clothes of the Han people on the grassland. If I raise the monocular, I can even see their expressions clearly.
Zhang Hong continued: "Deputy Director, these people are Han people, and they look pitiful. But even if they were forced here by the Beibei, but they chose to help the Beibei to attack our fortress, then they are Our enemy."
Li Shuheng sighed and said, "I know everything you said, I just feel sorry for these Han people."
"They are pitiful, but once they attack the fort wall, the more than 10,000 of us in the fort will be pitiful," Zhang Hong said.
Li Shuheng leaned against the female wall and looked at the Han people on the grassland who were running towards the Dunbao. He sighed and said, "Let's do it!"
