Tatar commander camp.
The generals sat together, and the atmosphere was dull.
This desperate attempt was far from going as smoothly as expected. It took three days longer than expected just to break through the Xuan Mansion. After arriving here, they continued to attack all night and then during the day.
Coupled with the rush of the past few days, the Tatar soldiers are now extremely exhausted.
And the siege did not make any progress, which seriously frustrated their morale.
Totto Polo was also a little discouraged, but he had already come. If he just went back, all his previous efforts would be in vain. He comforted him:
"Today's victory at Andingmen was remarkable. The Ming army has reached its limit. If we attack again tomorrow, we will most likely be able to capture it."
"Haha." The rugged man didn't give any face at all, and hummed: "The grand master has given me the award. I don't dare to be greedy for this merit. No, it should be said that there is no merit."
"Yes, everyone suffered losses last night. Today during the day we gathered 40,000 troops, and the opponent's defenders and reinforcements were around 30,000, which is inferior to us." The general who attacked Anding Gate with the rough man also looked angry, " Yes, the Ming army suffered greater losses, but those were obviously only temporarily brought in to support them, and we did not break the city."
"That's right!" The other general who attacked Anding Gate also agreed, "If you don't break the city, the attack will be in vain. It has been delayed for so long. God knows when the Ming Dynasty's reinforcements will come. The Ming Dynasty is obviously ready to go all out now. The city gate is blocked to death. Yes, the Ming army can’t get in by itself, so what’s the use no matter how many enemies we kill?”
The Tatars are different from the Ming Dynasty. They are composed of many tribes, and they also listen to Tuotuo Polo, the grand master, but not the propaganda.
Normally it's good, everyone openly obeys his orders, but when it comes to critical moments, everyone has their own plans.
The generals who attacked Andingmen suffered serious casualties and were very depressed.
"We are all our own people. If you say this, you will be alienated." Tuotuo Polo made up for it sarcastically, "Afterwards, you take the lead."
When the others heard this, their expressions were not very good. Even though they had made no progress, who didn't want to pick first?
However, the rugged man was particularly clear-headed this time: "There's no need to choose. I don't want anything anymore. I want to go back."
Several times in a row, his men suffered serious losses, and he really couldn't bear it anymore.
Moreover, he no longer has the confidence to attack the capital.
If the fight continues, regardless of whether he can eat meat or not, his status in Tatar will plummet.
"I won't fight either," another person echoed, "Wala is eyeing the enemy, and the rear is already unstable. To take a step back, even if we attack the city, can we capture the Ming Dynasty?
There is Ola in the rear, and the Ming Dynasty has millions of troops. Why do we need this city? "
"That's not how the accounts are settled." Totto Polo frowned and said, "We have won the capital, which will have a huge blow to the Ming Dynasty. Some half-hearted wealthy gentry, landlords, etc. will take the initiative to surrender, and even some of the Ming Dynasty will Officials are loyal to us,
Besides, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty is here, holding the emperor hostage..."
"You're still holding the emperor hostage?" the rough man sneered, "The Ming court can appoint one emperor, but it can also establish two."
Tuotuo Polo was extremely angry, but he finally endured it. People's hearts were already unstable, and the tribal leaders were unhappy. Getting angry at this time was just adding fuel to the fire.
"This is different." Tuttok Polo explained, "Last time we only hijacked the emperor, but this time we hijacked the entire capital."
"There is another capital in the south of the Ming Dynasty." The rough man was like a bully.
He had reasons to be angry. He was used as a weapon every time, and suffered the most serious damage every time. What was the result?
Except for a few big men, they got nothing and lost a lot of subordinates in vain.
"Master, I forgive you for being rude." The rugged man said firmly, "You know Wala's hatred towards us. This time we almost came out in full force. We can't hide such a big news from others. They attacked our camp. what to do?"
"You can rest assured about this. The king has said before coming here that she will transfer the people." Tottu Polo said.
"How can I rest assured that the old man is still there?" the rugged man said, "In this case, you fight here, and I will go back and take a look first."
"You..." Tuotuo Polo was angry. In normal times, he would have slapped him with his big mouth, but now in the Ming Dynasty, and the military morale is still unstable, he can only smooth his hair. ,
"Calm down your anger, Ming's reinforcements won't be here for a while, let's..."
"Report——!"
Totto Polo froze, and the others also felt a chill in their hearts and looked at the account in unison.
Soon, a man covered in blood rushed in, "Report to the Grand Master, the Ming Army is coming to kill us!"
"Ah?" Everyone was shocked.
Totto Polo couldn't help but shuddered and asked anxiously: "About how many people are there? Who are they?"
"At least more than five thousand." The visitor replied, "Almost all are infantry, and there are very few cavalry."
Five thousand is not a big number, and it is not a big deal for the Tatars, but the problem is... this signal is extremely dangerous.
——Ming army reinforcements have arrived!
"Grand Master," the rough man said in a low voice, "I am willing to stop them."
Totto Polo said blankly: "That shouldn't be the case. Why do they always come so quickly? It was like this last time when we fought the main force of the Ming army. Why do they always stay like this..."
The rugged man quietly retreated while he was stunned, and then quickly gathered his men.
It can't be fought, it can't be fought at all. Once the reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty arrive, they will soon change their offensive and defensive positions... The rough man spat: You go ahead and fight, I won't serve you anymore. The worst I can do is go to Wala after I go back.
Wala is an outsider, and the population of Wala is very small. Most of its generals and warriors are of Mongolian descent.
Therefore, Wala excludes the Tatars, but does not exclude the Tatars.
The rugged man didn't even think about fighting, he just wanted to take the opportunity to run away.

"Retreat, start running." Li Qing achieved his goal and immediately ordered a retreat, just to be seen by the Tatar scouts.
If a fight really breaks out, he's not the only one with thousands of people.
"Retreat to the left and rear." Li Qing added.
Ma Shun swallowed, "Li Du is in trouble, why don't we go back?"
He was so frightened that it was as if he was riding a horse on the edge of a cliff. If he was not careful, he would fall into the abyss and lose all his bones.
"You talk a lot, but you listen to Li Qipin." Shi Biao snorted, "If you keep inking, it will be over if I don't beat you up."
Ma Shunren had to bow his head under the eaves and humbly said yes.
Li Qing said to Shi Heng: "It's still early now. Go to Deshengmen and pull down the factory guards in the city. If you hurry up, you should be able to get there before dawn and scare them again."
"No problem, but you have to lend me the King's Order Flag." Shi Heng said, "Otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to impress people."
"Here you go." Li Qing was very generous and did not care at all about the consequences of handing over the King's Order Flag to others.
"Refreshing!" Shi Heng chuckled and hurried away with more than ten soldiers.

"Report——!" The Tatar scout hurried into the commander's camp, "Report to the Grand Master, there is a Ming army coming towards us, numbering about five thousand."
"Come again?" Totto Polo almost touched his tongue and said nonchalantly: "Isn't this unreasonable?"
Others are not as calm as him, and have already begun to think about retreating.
"Grand Master, the situation is unclear, let's retreat, shall we?" a general suggested.
Others immediately echoed: "Yes, Grand Master, we will make plans after dawn. After all, this is Ming Dynasty's territory, so be careful and you won't make any big mistakes."
Tuotuo Polo was unwilling to give in, and his intuition told him that this was Mingjun's plan.
"Fight them!" Totto Polo said, "Who wants to fight?"
All the generals looked at each other, and no one answered.
"In that case, then I..."
"I will meet them in the end." The general who attacked Anding Gate suddenly said, but in fact he was looking for an excuse to run away.
Totto Polo's face softened slightly and he promised: "After the city is broken, I will reward you based on your merits and I will never treat you badly."
"Yes." The man curled his lips secretly and hurriedly walked out of the tent.
Totto Polo glanced at the generals: "Now is the critical moment. If you retreat now, all your previous efforts will be in vain. You must not retreat."
"...Yes." The generals said bravely. If they didn't attack, it would be unreasonable for them to retreat.
A quarter of an hour, two quarters of an hour, half an hour, an hour...
Totto Polo waited and waited. It was almost five o'clock in the morning, but he couldn't wait for the people who had come to fight the Ming army to come back.
Damn it, what happened to these two people... Totto Polo's face suddenly changed: "It's bad, it's a big deal!"
"What's wrong, Grand Master?" The general was awakened from his sleep and looked at him doubtfully.
Tuotuo Polo felt uncomfortable and tight. How could he say that someone had run away?
If you really say this, I'm afraid people will become even more distracted.
He forced a smile and said: "It's nothing, I forgot to let people roast the sheep."
Generals: "..."
At this time, another scout came along and said hurriedly: "Grand Master, the Ming army is coming to kill."
"Haha," Totto Polo sneered again and again, "If I guess correctly, it's still five thousand Ming troops, right?"
"No, no, it's about ten thousand," the scout swallowed, "In addition, there are five thousand Ming troops all the way, and they are gathering with the tens of thousands of Ming troops."
"What?" Totto Polo was shocked: Could it be that reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty have really arrived?
"Grand Master, I will finally stop you."
"The general is also willing to go."
A group of generals started arguing. Now they gradually came to their senses. The rough guys had already run away, and they wanted to run away too. gòйЪ.ōΓg
Totto Polo couldn't tell, but he really didn't dare to order a head-on confrontation, otherwise these generals would dare to directly disobey orders.
He had no choice but to say: "Let's retreat first and wait until dawn to find out the situation."
…
On the other side, Li Qing couldn't help but his eyelids twitched wildly. He really didn't expect Shi Heng to bring so many people.
——They all hollowed out Deshengmen!
