Ombuhong looked up at Kancantada, then at Temulun, and said, "We can build a catapult if there is no one. Bansheng City can build a catapult, and so can we."
"It's too late." Kancantada shook his head slightly and said, "It takes a long time to build a catapult, and the Tiger Flag army will arrive very soon. We don't have time to build a catapult at all."
"What should I do? I heard that the Tiger Flag has a cannon, and one cannon can shoot very far. Even the best archers among us Mongolians cannot shoot arrows that far." Ombuhong often heard people mention the Tiger Flag. He took the initiative to inquire about a lot of things about the flag, and the reason why the Tiger Flag invaded, and found out that the Tiger Flag had such a thing as a cannon.
Kankantada frowned and said: "How to withstand the shelling of the Tiger Flag, that is a problem."
From the day Qingcheng was built, I never thought that it would be invaded by the Han army.
After so many years, the Mongols have always taken the initiative to cause trouble for the Han people. It is rare that the Han army comes to trouble the Mongols.
So when it came to defending the city, even though Kancantada had thought a lot, he still missed something. Only when he got to the city wall did he realize that there was no long-range attack method like a catapult.
"I have people prepare a lot of door panels. When the Tiger Flag is bombarded, the door panels can be used to resist." Temulun said.
Kancantada looked at Temulun and said, "Is the door panel okay? Isn't it too crude?"
"The door panel can resist arrows. It should also be useful in resisting shelling. And we have no better way." Temulun said helplessly.
Kancantada also knew that the other party was telling the truth, so he said: "Okay, let's use the door panel for now. If it doesn't work, then make it thicker, as much as possible."
On the side, Omu Buhong silently noted in his mind that the door panels could resist the cannon fire of the Tiger Flag.
"Cavalry, the cavalry of the Tiger Flag."
On the city wall, someone who didn't know who it was suddenly shouted loudly.
Kankantada took a few steps to reach the crenel and looked towards the outside of the city.
A few miles away from Qingcheng, a cavalry team like a black wave was heading towards Qingcheng.
Kankantada, who had fought against the Tiger Flag, knew that these black waves were the so-called armored cavalry of the Tiger Flag, and everyone wore black armor.
"I didn't expect the Tiger Flag people to arrive so soon." Temulun said with a frown.
Mo Rigen reported that it would take an hour or two for the Tiger Character Banner's army to arrive. It had only been more than half an hour now, and the Tiger Character Banner's cavalry had already appeared outside Qingcheng.
"It's the armored cavalry of the Tiger Flag. Judging from the number, there should be seven or eight hundred people." Kankantada pressed one hand on the crenel and said.
Ombuhong said at this time: "Old Taiji, there are only seven or eight hundred cavalrymen in the Tiger Flag. We have thousands of people in the city. Shouldn't we send our armored cavalry out of the city to kill all these Tiger Flagmen?" Cavalry? Boost morale."
"Our armored cavalry cannot be sent out into the city." Kankantada rejected Omubuhong's proposal.
Ombuhong's face showed a bit of dissatisfaction, but also some confusion.
"There is a reason why I don't agree to send our cavalry out of the city." Kankantada thought that Ombuhong was the person left by the Khan to preside over Qingcheng's army, so he explained? "The tiger-character flag outside the city The cavalry is called armored cavalry by the people of the Tiger Banner. Everyone is in armor. It is difficult to shoot through bows and arrows. Our armored cavalry is at a disadvantage. There are not many people. It is difficult to be the opponent of this armored cavalry. .”
"Everyone wears iron armor!" Ombuhong said in amazement, "No wonder they are all rich in Tiger Flag? With so many cavalry, everyone wears iron armor? How much money does this cost?"
Kankantada said: "Tiger Flag has its own iron field? The iron armor of these cavalry should be made by Tiger Flag itself. Even so, they only have so many cavalry in front of them. This time they are all sent to our Qing Dynasty." The city is here."
"What if we Tumut had so much iron to make armor and arrows? I'm afraid all the grassland ministries would have to surrender to our Tumut." Ombuhong looked at the armored cavalry outside the city with envy that he couldn't hide in his eyes.
Kankantada looked thoughtfully at Omubuhong, who was a head shorter than himself. He didn't expect Omubuhong to have such ambitions.
"Old Taiji, what should we do next? Are we just going to watch this tiger-character flag cavalry show off their power outside Qingcheng?" Ombuhong raised his head and looked at Kankantada.
Kancantada said: "Don't pay attention. Such a small amount of cavalry is not enough to threaten Qingcheng? If they are too close, you can shoot them with bows and arrows. If they are not close to the city wall, then don't pay attention."
When Ombuhong heard this, his face showed disappointment.
If it were him who was in command, he would never stay on top of the city and watch. He would definitely lead a large group of Mongolian armored cavalry out of the city to fight with the tiger-shaped flag cavalry outside the city.
He was not afraid even if the Tiger Banner cavalry wore iron armor. In his heart, the Mongolian cavalry was the most powerful cavalry in the world.
"Temulun, hurry up and arrange for people to prepare things to defend the city." Kancantada said, "The cavalry of the Tiger Banner are here, and their army should be arriving soon."
Temulun nodded, turned around and left to busy guarding the city.
Naturally, the more things like rolling wood and thunder stones that can be used to defend the city, the better. As long as reinforcements from various ministries are not available, they can only passively defend Qingcheng.
"Old Taiji, I think it's best to go out of the city at this time and kill all the tiger flag cavalry outside the city." Ombuhong couldn't help but tell Kankantada what he was thinking.
If tens of thousands of troops from the Tiger Character Banner came to the city, the Mongols could only defend the city on the walls of Qingcheng. But now the Tiger Character Banner only sent a few hundred cavalry. He felt that the Mongols should not defend the city at this time. The brave ones fought with the tiger-shaped banner cavalry outside the city.
Facing the small number of Tiger Banner cavalry, the Mongols huddled in the city, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
It was always the Mongols who came to the Ming Dynasty to attack the Ming Dynasty's cities. When did the Han army come to attack the Ming Dynasty's cities? This made him feel very humiliated.
The actions of Kankantada and Temulun also made him feel that they had lost the bloody courage that the Mongols should have.
"Ombuhong, neither Temuluntaiji nor I agreed to send the city's armored knights out of the city. Do you think we did something wrong?" Kankantada looked at Ombuhong and said.
After all, Ombuhong was young and energetic, so he nodded immediately and said: "We Mongols are the warriors on the grassland. When will it be the turn of the Han cavalry to show off their power over us?"
"I can understand your thoughts." Kankantada said, "It is true that we Mongolians are warriors on the grassland, but we cannot underestimate the Han cavalry because of this. The reason why Temuluntaiji and I are not We agreed to send armored cavalry out of the city because we know how powerful the cavalry outside the city is, and many of our Mongolian armored cavalry and scouts died in their hands."
