The next day, early in the morning.
A red sun is rising slowly, and the grass on the ground is covered with a thin layer of frost.
With a "boom", the gate of Tuyuan Camp, which had not been moved for more than ten days, opened, and groups of cavalry left the camp in an orderly manner.
The leader of the army was a general named Marshall under Mokodin.
This time out of camp, the number of cavalry led by Marshall was not large. The horses each rode were carefully selected. They were all the best horses and could run extremely fast.
This time out of camp, their mission was to spy on the enemy.
Then, with a loud shout from Marshall, everyone galloped across the field with their horses and whips raised.
In this way, after traveling quickly for a few miles out of the camp, Marshall's eyes narrowed and he saw Mongolian cavalry in front of him running quickly towards Xijing.
This made his heart tense, and he immediately called out to everyone to be careful not to fall into an ambush.
But obviously, his worries were unnecessary.
When the few Mongolian cavalry saw them coming, they immediately ran towards Xijing without stopping at all, as if they were scared away.
On the horse, Marshall touched his cold face and said calmly: "Hmph, a little trick, you want to lure me forward to pursue you?"
"Ignore them, be careful of ambush!"
Everyone agreed, and with their eyes and ears listening in all directions, they cautiously ran across the wilderness.
Everyone ran further and further away, and then more and more Mongolian cavalry left in front, and they all headed towards Xijing City.
Marshall touched his chin and thought to himself: "He left when he saw us. Could it be that the King of Zhenbei really left, or did he retreat to the city?"
"Could it be that...they have withdrawn their troops these days and frightened us?"
With this question in mind, Marshall carefully led the cavalry forward little by little to probe...
So it was until noon.
In the Tuyuan military camp.
Mokodin paced back and forth in the camp with his hands behind his back.
At this moment, there was a sound outside the tent, and Mokodin raised his eyebrows and walked out of the tent quickly.
As soon as he left the tent, he saw Marshall walking quickly surrounded by a group of people. Seeing his excited face, Mokodin had already guessed that he must have found important information.
As expected, Marshall walked up to Mokedin and said with a smile: "Marshal, not long after leaving the camp, I encountered the soldiers and horses of King Zhenbei."
"But they were very few in number. When they saw us from a distance, they quickly fled back. I think they are spies left here by King Zhenbei."
"But in order to prevent them from cheating, I did not pursue them, but carefully followed them from a distance."
"Who would have known that when I was about to arrive in Xijing, I discovered that they were not cheating, and all their troops were really gone! Hahaha!"
Speaking of this, Mokodin frowned and said in a deep voice: "How can we leave? We are retreating to the city."
Marshall nodded and continued: "Yes, what the general means is that they have retreated to the city. It seems that after the previous battle, they had no intention of taking the initiative to attack, so they retreated to the city."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mitri, who was standing aside, chuckled: "He is smart, he knows to retreat to the city."
"If we fight in this wilderness, we will kill them until they are completely defeated."
Tu Shadong on the side glanced at Mokodin and said with a smile: "What if we retreat to the city? The marshal had made arrangements before and specifically ordered us to bring siege weapons from the country!"
"Marshal has already calculated every step!"
Facing Tu Shadong's compliments, Mokodin smiled slightly, waved his hands and said: "They retreated to the city, which means they don't dare to fight anymore. If they don't dare to fight, it means they don't have enough troops!"
"It's even said... it's possible that the 300,000 troops may not all be in the city. Who knows what happened inside their Dagang during this period."
"But no matter what, retreating to the city is a good thing for us!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Marshall laughed loudly: "They are scared!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone, including Mokodin, Mitri, Tu Shadong and others, smiled heartily.
Mitri touched the big sword, looked at Mokodin and said: "Marshal, what are you waiting for?"
"Fight!"
Mokodin's face straightened, he raised his arms and shouted: "Fight!"
"This time, we should use thunderous means to attack Xijing City and completely take Xijing back!"
"Let them know that our country, Tu Yuan, is the real owner of this land in Xijing!"
As the voice fell, the entire military camp erupted into a roar of thunder and tsunami!
The voice is loud and thunderous, resounding in everyone's heart!
In the crowd, Mitri's eyes were fiery, and he took out the cross pendant on his chest, and recited to the pendant in a low voice: "In the name of God, let me Mitri come to eradicate the Zhenbei King. The crimes they committed, Let me punish you."
After saying this, Mitri made the sign of the cross on his chest with the pendant, said "Amen" again, and then put it in his arms.
Tu Shadong on the side lowered his head, his teeth were clenched, and his eyes were wide with hatred. He couldn't wait to avenge Huma's death.
Then, under Mokodin's order, the mighty Tu Yuan army began to leave the camp.
Most of them are cavalry, and these cavalry are divided into light cavalry and heavy armored cavalry.
And among them, Mitri's 50,000 eagle army is the most powerful. They are all carefully selected knights from the Tuyuan Kingdom.
In addition to these cavalry, there are tens of thousands of infantry. These people are among the best strong men. They need to control the siege equipment to fight. Everyone has rich combat experience, and all of them are veterans.
Everyone looked excited about this battle, and their excitement made them not care about the cold weather.
If they take Xijing, they are heroes!
When you return to your country in the future, you will be awarded various medals, which also represents an increase in wealth and status!
With the desire for victory and the determination to cut off the enemy's heads, this tiger and wolf division galloped across the wilderness in mighty force.
All kinds of heavy combat equipment crushed the weeds on the ground into the soil. The thick crossbow arrows were set up on the heavy crossbow, and the cold arrows glowed with silvery white luster.
The towering siege ladders and siege towers were dragged forward by the war horses. The soldiers below had red faces and a faint white breath exhaled from their mouths.
So, until the afternoon.
This formidable torrent of steel finally reached the outskirts of Xijing.
at the same time.
In the Xijing tower, the strong wind was raging, blowing the shirt behind Qin Ze who was standing with his hands behind his back.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked coldly at the Tu Yuan army in the distance, his face expressionless.
On the side, Bai Qi and Dian Wei were waiting on the left and right, and beside them were countless three-bow bed crossbows with iron feather arrows already placed on them.
Of course, these three-bow bed crossbows were set up under the outer wall and had not yet been lifted up.
Under the city tower, war tents stood on the ground, next to huge rocks. There were more than a dozen war tents next to an iron pot that was being boiled, and the pot was filled with asphalt.
The hot asphalt created hot bubbles in the large iron pot, and the scorching heat caused the soldiers who were lighting the fire next to the iron pot to wipe their sweat.
This asphalt is very hot!
