News of the arrival of the Mongols' last reinforcements was quickly delivered to Liu Heng.
Every day, Liu Heng would patrol the city walls of Qingcheng, and when he received the news, he was on the top of the city wall of Qingcheng.
"Our peaceful days have come to an end, and it's time to prepare for the final decisive battle with the Mongols." Liu Heng said to Li Shuheng beside him in a relaxed tone.
Li Shuheng asked: "Do you want to go to the camp outside the city?"
"I'm not going." Liu Heng shook his head and said, "The second brother is the frontline commander. He has the final say on how to fight this battle. I won't cause trouble."
For the Tiger-Character Banner, every battle can make the general who leads the army grow. As the supreme leader of the Tiger-Character Banner, he only needs to be in charge of the general direction of the Tiger-Character Banner, and the specific matters are left to the people below. Only in this way can we cultivate more experienced talents for Tiger Flag.
In the future, the Tiger Character Banner will take over the Tumut Grassland. As the leader of the Tiger Character Banner, Liu Heng cannot do everything by himself. The people below him must grow up and become the pillars of the Tiger Character Banner.
Li Shuheng glanced sideways at the city wall in the distance that had been destroyed by cannons, and said, "It's a pity that the city wall has not been repaired yet. This may become the main direction of the Mongols' attack."
"It doesn't matter if it hasn't been repaired. There will be plenty of time to repair this city wall in the future." Liu Heng said in a relaxed tone, "We have set up a military camp in the city. Not to mention that just such a piece of the city wall collapsed, even if the entire city wall is gone, the Mongols will Don’t even think about stepping into the city.”
After the Tiger-Character Banner troops entered Qingcheng, they captured some Han Chinese who were defending the city for the Mongols to build the city wall. All the Mongolians who participated in the defense were taken away from Qingcheng and sent to build roads.
Although the guilty Han people who stayed in Qingcheng to repair the city walls had a hard life, they were imprisoned in houses in the city. The life of the Mongolians who were taken away to repair the roads was much worse.
Not only was there not enough food to eat, but the place to sleep was still in the wild, and only tents were used for warmth. There was a fixed number of roads that needed to be built every day. Once enough roads were not built, there would be no food that night.
The night when reinforcements from Mobei arrived.
In the Mongolian camp, piles of bonfires were set up, and a group of Mongolians jumped and danced around the bonfire, and they only became quiet in the middle of the night.
"Why haven't these Mongols come to attack?" Zhang Sancha came to Chen Xunping's side.
"Zhang Yingzheng, don't be anxious. The reinforcements from Mobei have just arrived. They have to rest for a few days to regain their strength before sending out troops." Qin Rong said with a smile.
Zhang Sancha snorted twice and said: "These Mongols are really troublesome. If it were me, with tens of thousands of troops in my hand, I would have attacked Qingcheng with one wave of my hand."
Qin Rong beside him just smiled when he heard this.
He understood that Zhang Sancha was eager to fight and wanted to make meritorious deeds and compete for the position of deputy division commander, so no matter what Zhang Sancha said at this time, he would not take it seriously.
"Report." A soldier ran into the camp and said to Chen Xunping, "Commander, there is a group of Mongolians from outside who are going to Qingcheng to see the Lord. They were detained by our people when they were passing through the camp."
"Take me over to meet them." Chen Xunping stood up from his seat.
Everyone else in the camp also left the camp with me, Chen Xunping, and went with him to meet the Mongols.
"Let me go, let me go. I am the envoy of the Great Khan. I want to see your Dongzhu Liu. Let me go."
As soon as he got close, Chen Xunping heard Mongolians shouting in front.
After bypassing the tent in front of him, Chen Xunping saw three Mongolians tied up in an open space in the camp.
"Commander, that's a few of them." The soldier who led the way raised his hand and pointed at the tied Mongolians in front of him.
Chen Xunping looked at the Mongolians in front of him. He didn't recognize any of the three people.
When the three Mongolians saw a group of people carrying the Tiger Flag and walked over, they all focused on Chen Xunping, who was walking in the middle.
One of the Mongolians looked at Chen Xunping and said, "Are you Liu Heng, the proprietor of the Tiger Flag?"
"I'm not." Liu Heng shook his head.
The Mongolian shook his shoulders and shouted: "I am the envoy sent by the Great Khan. In the words of you Han people, the two armies are fighting without killing the envoy. But now I want to see your boss and let us go immediately."
"I didn't expect you to know that the two armies are fighting without killing each other." Chen Xunping smiled and said immediately, "If you want to see us adults, you must first tell me what is going on, otherwise I will not take you Go see our lord."
The Mongolian looked Chen Xunping up and down and said, "I think you look like a big shot in the Tiger-Character Banner, so I'll tell you that our Great Khan sent me here to discuss the withdrawal of troops with your boss."
"Withdraw the troops? Bu Shitu wants to withdraw the troops?" Chen Xunping paused and was stunned by the news.
Before the battle started, I heard the news that the Mongols were withdrawing their troops.
"Why did our Great Khan retreat to give you a chance to retreat?" The Mongolian shouted, "You Tiger Character Banners despicably captured Ombuhong. The big man said that as long as you let Ombuhong go, I will give you Tiger Character Banner a chance to withdraw from Qingcheng, and we will not launch an attack when your Tiger Character Banner withdraws from Qingcheng."
After saying these words, the Mongolian raised his chin slightly, showing a proud look, as if he didn't take the tens of thousands of troops of the Tiger Flag at all.
In fact, this is exactly the case.
Fifty or sixty thousand troops from various grassland tribes came to surround Qingcheng. They faced the Tiger Banner's troops with only 20,000 to 30,000 infantry. This made many Mongolians optimistic about this battle and believed that the Tiger Banner's troops in Qingcheng could be defeated. Horses are a matter of time.
"Fart." Zhang Sancha on the side couldn't help but cursed, and then said, "Qingcheng was brought down by my men, and Omubuhong was captured by my men. If you have the ability, come and attack Qingcheng. I want to see if you Mongolians are capable of taking Qingcheng back from me."
Worried that these Mongolians would not understand, he deliberately spoke these words in Mongolian.
"Who are you?" The Mongolian's face sank.
Zhang Sancha leaned his upper body forward, pointed the thumb of his right hand at his face, and said, "See clearly, I can change my name or my surname, and so can you, Grandpa Zhang Sancha."
"Is this how your Tiger-Character Banner treats its envoys?" the Mongolian said to Chen Xunping with an ugly expression.
Chen Xunping said in a calm tone: "You and I are enemies, how can you expect someone who is going to kill pigs and sheep to entertain you?"
"Hmph, you Han people have sharp teeth and sharp lips. I won't argue with you. I want to see your proprietor. Take me to see your proprietor now." The Mongolian shouted at Chen Xunping again.
