Ombuhong was still young and was stimulated by the fall of Bansheng City. He drank more wine and soon became drunk. He was sent to rest by his bodyguard Mumuzha who was standing by.
In the huge Khan Palace, Temulun was sitting opposite Kankantada. At this time, he said: "Old Taiji, can the reinforcements sent by the various ministries really arrive within three days?"
"Okay." Kankantada nodded towards Temulun.
Temulun said: "Even if we can arrive in three days, what if, I mean what if they don't come? Now the Great Khan is no longer in Qingcheng, and the tiger-character flag troops are strong. Once the reinforcements from various ministries stop coming, Qingcheng may not be able to hold on for long without assistance."
Kancantada's face changed slightly after hearing this.
He had the same worry in mind.
Bu Shitu has already fled Qingcheng. Once Bu Shitu chooses to abandon Qingcheng and Dabanshengdi, the reinforcements from various ministries will probably not come to Qingcheng in order to preserve their strength. By then, Ombuhong and Omubuhong who will stay in Qingcheng will He will be isolated and helpless.
"Also." Temulun said, "Bansheng City was besieged by the Tiger-Character Banner army and couldn't hold on for even one day. When the Tiger-Character Banner army besieged Qingcheng, I'm worried that it will be difficult for us to hold on for three days. .”
Kankantada frowned.
Even though he said well when he comforted Ombuhong, he knew clearly that the cannons used by the Tiger Flag were definitely powerful siege weapons, and Bansheng City fell under artillery fire.
"The Tiger Character Banner has tens of thousands of troops, and we only have more than a thousand people in Qingcheng. I'm afraid this city will not be comfortable." Temulun reminded.
Kankantada frowned and said, "What better way do you have?"
"What can I do? To be honest, if it weren't for Omubuhong being left in Qingcheng because of me, I would have wanted to take people and leave Qingcheng overnight." As he said this, Temulun grabbed the front door The wine bowl, took a big sip of the wine inside.
Kankantada said: "You can't leave. Once you leave Qingcheng, there will be no place for you in the entire Tumut and even the Mongolian tribes. No tribe dares to accept you for being accused of harming the descendants of the Golden Family."
"I know, so I can't leave, and I can't leave." Temulun said, "I am willing to stay in Qingcheng and fight the Tiger Flag, but what I am worried about is that the reinforcements will not come. Might die because of me.”
Kankantada looked coldly and said: "Reinforcements from all ministries will definitely come. You have to remember that no matter what time, you must insist that reinforcements will come. Do you understand?"
"Don't worry, I only said this in front of Lao Taiji. Even in front of Ombuhong, I would not say it." Temulun said with a wry smile.
At this time, he also saw that Kankantada was not sure that reinforcements from various ministries would come to aid Qingcheng.
Kancantada's tone softened slightly and he said: "You don't have to worry about the manpower to defend the city. There are still so many people in the city. We can let them participate in defending the city later. I think it won't be a big problem to gather a few thousand people."
"Since Lao Taiji said so, tomorrow I will lead people from house to house to bring people to the city wall to participate in the defense of the city." Temulun said.
Kankantada nodded.
After Qingcheng was chaotic during the day, at night, all the doors of every house were closed, and not even a flicker of fire could be seen in the house.
"Shopkeeper Wu, are we hiding like this? How long are we going to hide?"
In a dark cellar, a bored man used a wooden stick to flick the wick of an oil lamp.
Wu Jingyan looked at the man who spoke through the firelight and said, "What? Do you still want to go out and fight the Mongols at this time?"
"I'm not stupid. If I fight against the Mongols at this time, I'm going to die." The man said with a smile, "What I want to say is, should we do something? After the army attacks the city, we can do it in the city." Carry out sabotage and help our army attack the city."
"No need." Wu Jingyan said, "Our task is to just wait for the army to attack the city. Don't forget, Deputy Director Huang gave us an order to stay put."
There are people from the Tiger-Character Banner Foreign Intelligence Bureau staying in Qingcheng.
Wu Jingyan originally went to Daheihe Dunbao, but after staying for a few days, he returned to Qingcheng and began to take charge of the Qingcheng affairs of the Foreign Intelligence Bureau.
However, his identity has also changed from bright to dark, and the shop he once opened in Qingcheng has long been closed.
The man said: "It's a pity that the chaos during the day was quickly suppressed by those Mongolian armored cavalry. If the chaos could continue, we wouldn't need our army to attack. The Mongols themselves would destroy Qingcheng."
"The person staying in Qingcheng is Kankantada. He is a veteran of Taiji and his own tribe is very powerful. With him here, Qingcheng will not be in chaos. However, when our tiger-character flag army arrives, Qingcheng will still be It will fall into the hands of our Tiger Flag," Wu Jingyan said.
The man next to the oil lamp said: "When Deputy Director Huang and I were sent to the grassland, who would have thought that one day our tiger-character flag would be able to occupy Qingcheng. Thinking about it now, we adults have the foresight and have known that this day would come. .”
"We have been on the grassland in the past few years. Who doesn't know that the Mongolians have long been as smooth as donkey dung and eggs, which means that we adults are people with great abilities. We have laid out the grassland early, and this gave our Tiger Character Banner a chance to take over the soil. Special grassland." Wu Jingyan said in a relaxed tone.
The man put the wooden stick in his hand on the oil lamp and said, "It's a pity that Stone Blessing Rabbit escaped. Otherwise, when our Tiger Banner army attacks the city, we will have a chance to capture Stone Blessing Rabbit."
"Okay, if you can't catch the fortune-telling rabbit, you can still catch Omubuhong. As long as you catch the person, you can also achieve great success." Wu Jingyan said.
The man chirped twice and said: "There are no Mongols anymore. The great Khan Bu Shitu ran away, leaving a young man like Ombuhong to take charge of the overall situation in Qingcheng."
When he mentioned the escape of Bushi Tu, he looked disdainful.
"Okay, get some rest early. I'm afraid our Tiger Banner's army may attack Qingcheng in the next two days. We still need to be energetic and wait to capture Ombuhong." Wu Jingyan said.
The oil lamp was quickly blown out, and the cellar fell silent.
The next day it was bright.
The tiger-character flag army gathered on the grass outside Bansheng City.
Teams of soldiers lined up in rows, as neatly as if they were carved out of molds.
The artillery carriages of the artillery team were lined up in a long queue. Among them, the two nine-pounder cannon carriages were extremely conspicuous. Not only were the guns much larger, but they also had two more horses pulling the carriages than other artillery carriages.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A drum beat sounded on the temporary high platform. The drummer bare his arms, waved the drum vigorously, and hit the drum head standing on the wooden frame.
Zhang Guangkun and many Han merchants in Bansheng City were invited by the people of the Tiger Flag to the top of the city to watch the army march out outside the city.
