After Zhao Tai left the city, he did not return to Bianjing. Instead, he continued to hide near Bianjing and monitor the movements of the Mongols.
In a forest, Zhao Tai and several of his subordinates were eating pancakes.
"Baihu, do you think Lao Hu can complete the task?" Sun Li was a little worried.
They were just small soldiers a few days ago, and hundreds of thousands of families were great figures to them, but who would have thought that they could now compete with the Mongol Khan and the Mongol Empire.
"Yes, yes! I don't know how Old Hu is doing." Liu Dun was chewing a pancake. Like his name, he was relatively stocky.
To them, it all seemed like a dream, and they still can't believe it is true.
Zhao Tai was unsure, but his face was calm and calm, "You must believe in your colleagues and have confidence in him."
Sun Li and others thought about it, Hu Zhen was about to face the Mongol Khan, and their hearts trembled for Hu Zhen, and they did not even dare to think about that scene.
"Baihu, if Lao Hu succeeds, will he become famous?" Sun Li asked.
Zhao Tai smiled, "Not only is he famous, he also has to leave a mark in the history books!"
Hearing what Zhao Tai said, everyone couldn't help but feel envious again. Xu Erzhu broke a branch and said, "Damn, Lao Hu is very slippery. He can do it. I'm sure it will be fine. It's a pity that the opportunity to become famous has given up." He beat me to it."
Zhao Tai smiled. He had not been here long, but after getting along with him, he quickly understood the characteristics of his subordinates.
Hu Zhen is more slippery, Sun Li is cautious, Xu Erzhu is reckless and can be trained into a general who charges into battle, and Liu Dun is honest and reliable, suitable for being his personal guard.
At this time, Zhao Taizheng was observing several people. One of them got into the forest and said urgently: "Hundred households, the Mongols have begun to attack the city."
"Ah!" Everyone was shocked.
Sun Li said: "Baihu, does this mean that Lao Huta~"
If the plan succeeds, the Mongolian army should retreat, but now it launches an attack. Has Lao Hu failed?
For a moment, everyone was a little panicked, and Zhao Tai was also shocked, but he quickly calmed down.
Anyway, now that he is not in Bianjing City, even if he fails, he can still run to the Southern Song Dynasty, at least to ensure his life safety.
Thinking of this, Zhao Tai calmed down and said, "Don't panic, go take a look first!"
At that moment, the group of people came out of the woods and arrived at a town on the outskirts of Bianjing.
When the Mongolian troops came to the city, in order to attack Bianjing, they demolished most of the nearby houses. The wood was used to build siege equipment, and the stones were used as cannon stones. Many of the tombstones were beaten off and transported to the Mongolian camp.
At this time, under the city of Bianjing, cannons and rocks were flying randomly, and the sound of killing was loud. Zhao Tai climbed on the roof of a house and observed the battlefield in the distance.
Zhao Tai squinted his eyes, put up a pergola with his hands, and looked down at the city. He saw dense crowds of people and towering machines pressing towards Bianjing City, but he could not see the specific situation clearly.
"It would be nice if there was a telescope." Zhao Tai frowned. It seemed that this thing was not difficult to make. Once he had a base, he would find a group of craftsmen to make it.
Sun Li and others also climbed up to the roof and looked at the dense black spots in the distance. "Baihu, has our plan failed?"
Zhao Tai did not answer immediately. He looked at it carefully for a while and suddenly smiled: "No! I think the Mongolians are anxious."
"What do you mean by Baihu?" Everyone looked at Zhao Tai.
Zhao Tai pointed at the Mongolian army attacking the city, "The distance is too far to see clearly, but it seems that the Mongols did not fill the river, so they just started attacking!"
When everyone saw it, it was really like this. They had done it in the Mongolian army. When the Mongols attacked the city, they would rush the captured people to clear the obstacles under the city, fill up the moat and then launch the attack.
In this way, the Mongolian siege equipment can directly enter the city, and the casualties will be much smaller.
Zhao Tai continued: "Now that the Mongols did not fill in the river, they attacked directly. What does it mean?"
Sun Li muttered: "It means the Mongols are in a hurry." At this point, his eyes lit up, and he obviously understood the meaning, but a few people around him didn't understand it yet.
Zhao Tai glanced at him approvingly, "Not bad! It seems that Lao Hu has succeeded. Wokuotai is unwilling to retreat like this. He wants to capture Bianjing first and then return to deal with Kublai Khan."
Now everyone understood, with excited expressions on their faces.
Zhao Ming stared at the battlefield with deep eyes, "Now it depends on whether Bianjing can withstand it."
Zhao Tai watched for a while, then came down from the roof and called several subordinates together to make the next arrangements.
"Baihu, what should we do now?" Sun Li asked.
Zhao Tai glanced at the few people and said in a deep voice: "I'll give you two choices, stay outside the city and wait for the Mongols to withdraw, or follow me into the city to help the Jin soldiers defend the city and kill the Tatars on the way."
Several people looked at each other. Sun Li did not speak. Xu Erzhu said: "Lao Hu has become a hero and will be recorded in the history books. I cannot lag behind. I choose to go to the city to kill the Tatars."
Liu Dun also said: "There was no one to lead us before. I was a coward for several years and helped the Mongols do many bad things. Now we are led by hundreds of households, and I will do whatever the hundreds of households say."
Zhao Tai saw that the remaining people were silent and did not wait for them to express their stance.
Some people sometimes really need others to help them choose and push them forward, otherwise they will become mediocre.
People sometimes need leaders and someone to lead them to inspire their abilities.
"Okay! Then go into the city and kill the Tatars!" Zhao Tai immediately raised his arms and said.
Seeing this, everyone was also affected by Zhao Tai, and there was a sense of pride in their hearts, "Go into the city and kill the Tatars!"
Zhao Tai nodded with satisfaction. He could actually be outside the city now, waiting for the Mongols to withdraw, but he was unwilling to give up this opportunity to train his team.
He is also letting his subordinates experience the feeling of being a hero and a hero. Once they do it once and experience the feeling of being admired and respected, they will get out of control and consciously improve their moral level. .
At present, Zhao Tai and his party hid in the town and waited until dark before quietly coming out and returning to Bianjing City.
At this time, in the Mongolian camp, Wo Kuotai looked gloomy and glanced at the generals who were bowing their heads.
Because the Mongolian army launched the attack without filling the moat, many siege equipment could not be used, and the moat of Bianjing was wide. The Mongolian army attacked with great momentum today, but they did not even reach the top of the city.
This made Wo Kuotai very angry. His eyes fell on a Han army prince with a stern expression, "Zhang Rou, I will let you go today, but you won't be able to climb the city tomorrow. Come and see me!"
Zhang Rou complained in her heart, but she did not dare to contradict Wo Kuotai. She could only lower her head and clasp her fists, "I accept your order!"
