Chapter 127                                                             

Zhou Mengchen left, and Boyan's order spread on the grassland.

The grassland tribes immediately began to assemble. The situation suddenly became tense.

Zhou Mengchen's journey back was very smooth. After all, he built two camps in the rear, saving the work of camping. If he really wanted to march urgently, infantry could rush back to Khukou in one day and one night. However, this was the era of cold weapons. The army here had already lost its strength and had no combat power at all. It was a very dangerous situation.

Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, no general will let his subordinates fall into a situation of collective power loss.

Zhou Mengchen had just arrived at the right guard of Datong.

The Khahukou is a small pass, and the army cannot be stationed at all. The Datong Right Guard City, which is a little behind, is not big, but it is still a city. It is enough for the army to station. The connection with Datong is also very smooth. It also facilitates Zhou Mengchen to make decisions on the situation in the future.

The first news Zhou Mengchen received in the Right Guard of Datong was that Boyan's troops were in an abnormal movement, as if they were going to surround Yulin City.

Zhou Mengchen felt aroused in his heart and said to himself: "It's finally here."

This is good news for Zhou Mengchen, which shows that the Tartars came on stage according to Zhou Mengchen's script. However, this is just a good start. Who knows whether this Boyan is a drama bully and will change the show? This is the pressure that director Zhou Mengchen has to face. Try to let the Tartars finish this scene according to their own situation.

Under the Yulin Acropolis.

Tens of thousands of cavalry surrounded them strongly.

Boyan showed a look, and immediately a Han man came out and said loudly: "You have also been abandoned by the soldiers on the city. Zhou Mengchen threw you alone on the grassland, and he wanted to kill you. Our country's army has sealed all the roads, so it is impossible for the Ming army to come to help."

"You have to think about yourself. The Khan has promised that as long as you surrender, all the fields will be divided on the grassland, each with 200 acres. It is enough for you to be a rich man. You must not miss the opportunity, and you will never come again?"

Boyan's persuasion to surrender did not cause any trouble on the city wall.

This is another benefit of Li Ru's staying here.

This army is an army selected from the best among the Beijing camp. Not to mention the combat effectiveness, there is a little bit left, that is, the influence of the nobles.

After all, many of these people were selected by the Marquis of Fengcheng for their sons. They were all people that the Marquis of Fengcheng could trust, that is, people from the circle of nobles. These people believed in the power of nobles. Naturally, they also knew what Li Ru was like? They were the only son of Fengcheng Hou’s family, and Fengcheng Hou’s family was large. If Fengcheng Hou did not want to pass the title to his nephew, they would not be able to let his son die.

Zhou Mengchen was promoted by the Marquis of Fengcheng. Don’t let the son of the benefactor die here. It is impossible to have any reinforcements. In their opinion, even if the army in Datong Town is exhausted, it is impossible not to provide assistance here.

In addition, these people are all from Beijing.

Beijingers are arrogant. People with imperial cities have arrogance, even in later generations. Most people in the Ming Dynasty were peasants, but these soldiers in the Jingying camp were not. They were either professional soldiers. According to father and son, they were all ate rice for several generations. After all, although they could not fight in the Jingying camp, there were many people who ate Jingying dinner. Or they were originally a military household but were seeking a living in the Beijing city.

They don’t even farm in Beijing. If they want to farm on the grasslands, it’s impossible.

In the eyes of Beijingers, the best in the world is Beijing. This time, 40,000 Beijing camps were sent to Datong, and there may not be no complaints within the Beijing camp. If not enough, they were suppressed by Qi Jiguang's iron fist. They all came to Datong and felt that this was a fetter. Not to mention going to the wilderness where birds do not shit in their eyes.

Even if they give them a thousand acres of land, they are not at all attractive to them.

Therefore, the following people are tempting and are not touched by the soldiers in the Beijing camp at all.

Even Li Ru did not take any action to counterattack, such as looking for archers to shoot archers. In any case, Li Ru's opinion, all he had to do was to delay time. Although he felt that defending the city was very sure, after all, it would be a death to fight. So if you could start a little later, then a little later, what would you be anxious about?

So much so that the people who persuaded surrender shouted for an hour, but there was no change at all on the city wall.

Boyan knew that this matter could not be successful. But he was not in a hurry. He also had his own preparations.

He did not intend to send troops from Mongolia to attack this city, but the casualties were too great. But he also intended to train some methods of siege. So he seconded the infantry of the White Lotus Sect from Qingcheng, and some captured Han people were preparing to use them to attack the city. Anyway, what he wanted to fight was never this city, but the reinforcements of the Ming army. Unless the Ming army came tens of thousands at once, he decided to eat this reinforcement. If the Ming army's Lord was dispatched, he would ask Xin Ai what it meant. If Xin Ai decided to suppress it, then fight. If he didn't decide to suppress it, then retreat, and wait for him to withdraw.

Therefore, the Mongols were slow in siege.

Under the suppression of the cavalry, ragged Han people threw bags of soil under the city.

Boyan didn't think of any good method. He only wanted to use one method, which was to pile up soil to form a city. Although this method was a bit slow and a little stupid, it was enough to deal with the small city that didn't even have a moat in front of Yulin Acropolis.

When the earth piles up on the city wall, the Tatar cavalry can rush up the city wall directly.

However, it was a long process.

Li Ru naturally would not sit and wait for death. He sent a musketeer to shoot at the city, killing many people in a row. However, Mongolia did not care at all, and even died at the city, using corpses as part of the building materials. Anyway, as long as a gentle slope could be piled up on the city wall, he didn't care whether it was soil or corpses.

The only thing Boyan felt was that this time he could not use local materials in Datong, and he also sent people to other border towns to rob and bring them over, such as Yulin Town on the Yellow River.

Li Ru actually didn't care whether he could pile up the soil to the city. Even if Boyan could do this, Li Ru had a few cannons over, which was enough to block this passage.

But generally speaking, the stupidest method is the most unsolvable. Li Ru's various reactions can only delay the progress of the pile of soil, but cannot disrupt this offensive. Unless he sends people out of the city and cleans up the soil, it is unlikely to think about it.

Li Ru silently estimated and said to himself: "Even if I can stop it, the first passage that can reach the city can definitely be built within one or two months. Although I don't care about a passage that can go up to the city, I am afraid that the Tartars will follow suit. If they pile up too much, they will inevitably lose sight of the other. Within three or four months, I will probably ask for help."

Li Ru felt a little bitter in his heart and said to himself: "I am indeed not a talented general."

Li Ru was secretly blaming himself and didn't know how to deal with stupid things, he suddenly heard the soldiers around him say, "General, look."

Li Ru looked up and saw a ray of beacon smoke rising into the sky. He could see at a glance that this was a signal of intensifying help. Li Ru immediately said, "Who lit the beacon?"

He looked at each other and said, "Sir, there should be no one. I have just inspected and the beacons everywhere were stored well. Moreover, the unauthorized ignition of beacons and false military information is a serious crime of beheading. No one dares to do so. I think it seems that it was ignited outside the city."

"Outside the city?" Li Ru raised the thousand-mile mirror and saw that it was indeed outside the city. When he moved his heart, he understood what the Tartars were thinking. He gritted his teeth and said, "Despicable. This is to recruit reinforcements."

Although the beacon fire outside the Tartar City was lit, it was a distance from the Yulin Acropolis. However, the gap between several miles was dozens of miles away and could not be seen without looking closely. It was no secret that there were only the signal of the beacon fire of the Ming army. The Ming army has been using it like this for hundreds of years, and it is not known to everyone in the army, but it is known to everyone in the army. Don’t forget that there are many Ming army deserters in Bansheng.

These beacon signals are all in love.

Although Li Ru said that he was despicable, he could do nothing. He could only see how Yulin's Right Guard made a decision.
