After crossing the river, the tiger-character banner army still had dozens of miles to go from Bansheng City.
Su Nang, who fled back to Bansheng City, gathered the fleeing Mongolian armored cavalry. When they returned to Bansheng City, they actually gathered more than two thousand Mongolian armored cavalry and came back together.
This gave him some confidence to face the coming Tiger Flag army.
Bansheng City is between the direction of the Tiger-Character Banner army and Qingcheng. Su Nang knew very well that once the Tiger-Character Banner army arrived, it was impossible not to uproot Bansheng City first.
Su Nang, who returned to his residence, said to Senaban: "Come here, take all the things you can take with you, and let's leave Bansheng City."
"Taiji, we can defend the city. As long as we hold back the Tiger Flag army, when reinforcements from various ministries arrive, the Tiger Flag army will be destroyed." Senaban didn't understand why Su Nang wanted to leave Bansheng City and persuaded Su Nang stayed to defend the city.
At the same time, Dabanshengdi is the richest place in the Tumut Grassland. As a Mongolian born and raised here, he is unwilling to leave here.
Su Nang stared with round eyes and said: "Stupid, defending the city has never been the strong point of us Mongols. Defending Bansheng City at this time is simply asking for death. Remember, as long as the army of the Tiger Flag is defeated in the future, We can come back anytime."
"Yes, my subordinates will arrange for our people to pack up and leave." Senaban is just a personal guard around Su Nang. Naturally, he must obey Su Nang's safety. Now that Su Nang insists on leaving, he can only follow him. Leave the big board and rise to the ground.
Su Nang said again: "Remember, take away all the wealth you can and leave nothing to the tiger-character flag."
Senaban retreated from the house.
Su Nang sat alone in the room without taking off his armor. He was just waiting for the people below to prepare.
Bansheng City is the wealth accumulated by the Su Nang family for generations. The total amount of all kinds of silver alone is over one million taels, and there are also a lot of gold, gold and silver jewelry, glazed gemstones and other valuable items. .
Su Nang himself did not have a large cart to carry these things. However, Han merchants in the city often traveled to various places to buy and sell goods. Every family had a large cart, and some families had more than one.
There were not enough carts, so the Mongolian soldiers went directly to the Han merchants' homes to grab the carts.
Many Mongolian soldiers who broke into Han merchants not only snatched carts, but also took away these people's belongings. If they resisted at the slightest resistance, they would kill them with a knife.
In the past, there might have been some scruples, but now the Tiger-Character Banner army was about to attack. These Mongolian armored cavalry who had suffered a defeat at the hands of the Tiger-Character Banner army vented their anger on the Han merchants in the city.
In the past, Taiji in Mongolia had to rely on Han merchants to earn wealth for itself, and would restrain the Mongolians below from messing with the Han merchants in the city. Nowadays, these Han merchants are no longer needed. Every Mongolian has revealed his true identity. With his appearance, he looted Han people's homes wantonly.
The entire Bansheng City fell into chaos.
"Taiji, the tiger-character flag army is besieging the city." Senaban quickly ran to Su Nang to report.
Su Nang stood up suddenly and said eagerly: "How come they came so fast? Hurry, tell our people that we don't want the remaining things and leave the city immediately."
"Taiji, we can't leave. The entire Bansheng City has been surrounded." Senaban said with a bitter look on his face.
Su Nang took two steps back, fell down on the cushion below, and said with a pale face: "It's over, it's all over now."
In the previous field battles on the river bank, he was unable to defeat some of the soldiers and horses of the Tiger-Character Banner. Now the Tiger-Character Banner army has surrounded Bansheng City, and there are only more than two thousand armored cavalry left around him, let alone outside the city. The tiger character flag is no match for tens of thousands of troops.
"Taiji, otherwise my subordinates will rush out and fight with the tiger-shaped flag army outside the city. Maybe they can still fight their way out and protect you Taiji from leaving." Senaban said.
Su Nang looked thoughtful, as if he was thinking about whether this method was feasible.
After a while, Su Nang said: "Take all of us and follow me to see what's going on outside the city."
"Yes." Senaban agreed and turned around to gather the team.
At this moment, groups of Mongolian armored cavalry were looting everywhere in the city. Even though there was an army of tiger banners outside the city besieging the city, the looting in the city did not stop.
Outside the city, tens of thousands of troops of the Tiger Flag surrounded Bansheng City.
In addition, some soldiers and horses were sent to several Bansheng places to clean up the resistance forces there.
"Go down with the order, bury the pots and make rice, and attack the city when you are full." Chen Xunping ordered.
The army came from dozens of miles away and consumed a lot of energy. At this time, there was no rush to attack the city. Bansheng City was right in front of them and they couldn't escape. They could launch an attack at any time.
The supply camp began to set up camp, and each cooking team began to prepare lunch for their team.
Several thousand-man teams that broke away from the main army, carrying four-wheeled carts and more than a dozen four-pound cannons, began to clear out a few Mongolians who had risen to the ground.
A lot of cultivated land was cultivated in every Bansheng area. The Han people farmed the land for the Mongols, and many Han slaves also lived here.
The land has not yet been completely civilized, and there are no Han people working in the fields at this time. Regardless of whether they are Han people or Mongolians, almost all of them are at home. However, the Han people live in rough houses, while the Mongolians live in yurts.
The news of the Tiger-Character Banner's army dispatching troops had already spread to several Bansheng areas. Even if the Han people living here knew that the Tiger-Character Banner's army might come later, they would have no place to escape.
This is a vast and sparsely populated grassland, not the Ming Dynasty.
Han people like these who farm in Bansheng have nowhere else to go after leaving Bansheng. No matter where they go, they belong to the Mongols. If they are caught, they will only become slaves of the Mongols, even if they are not caught. After arriving, there was no place to stay, and in the end they either froze to death on the grassland, or starved to death on the grassland. Another possibility was that they were killed on the grassland.
Groups of soldiers did not enter the homes of these Han people, but specially selected the yurts where the Mongolians lived and broke in.
After a search, many Mongolians were brought out of the yurts. Once any Mongolians resisted, the searching soldiers would directly kill them.
The scattered Mongols posed no threat to the soldiers operating in groups.
Many Mongolians in several Bansheng areas followed Su Nang and participated in the battle with the Tiger Banner. For these Mongolian families, their cattle and sheep were taken away directly, while those who did not participate in the battle with the Tiger Banner were directly taken away. The Mongolian family was temporarily detained in a separate place.
The soldiers of the Tiger Flag ignored the Han people living in Banshengdi and only sent people to inform them not to leave their homes.
Bansheng City was already in chaos, and the Han merchants who had some strength began to choose to unite to protect themselves and confront the Mongolian soldiers who came to rob their homes.
Su Nang did not interfere with the Mongols' looting in the city.
At this time, even he himself was too busy to take care of himself and had no energy to care about other Mongolians. Moreover, the people who were robbed were all Han people, so he didn't care even more.
