Chapter 1503 Cavalry
There was a lot of dew mixed in the early morning air.
On the top of Tianchengwei's city, he began to get busy again, and teams of officers and soldiers brought supplies to the city to defend the city.
A large pot was set up in several places and the golden juice was boiled.
The busy people on the city walls were the border troops brought by Wang Bao, and the troops of Tiancheng Guard could only watch others work a little farther away from the city.
"You said that our commander really gave the matter of defending the city to others?" A guard soldier who was holding a spear not far from the city wall raised his head and looked up at the busy figure on the top of the city and muttered to the others around him.
A soldier next to him with a wooden stick in his mouth said indifferently: "It is a good thing to have someone else guard the city for us. Could it be that you still want to fight the bandits outside the city?"
"I always feel awkward. No matter what, this is the place where our Tianchengwei is. Now that a group of border soldiers are pointing fingers, don't you feel uncomfortable?" said the soldier who was holding a spear.
The soldier beside him curled his lips and said, "What's so uncomfortable about this? As long as I don't let the bandits outside the city fight to the death, whoever I love guards the city."
His words represent what most of the Tiancheng Guard soldiers think in the hearts of the minds.
A group of bored guards looked at the border soldiers who were busy all over the city.
I don't know how long it took, an officer riding a horse appeared in front of these soldiers in the guards.
"What are you gathering here to do? Let me go to the top of the city to defend the city." The officer pointed at the soldiers in front of him with the whip in his hand and said.
One of the soldiers from these garrisons said, "Didn't the matter of defending the city be handed over to the people of the border army? Why did we still let our own people go to the city wall?"
"Stop talking nonsense, this is the general's order. If anyone dares to disobey, don't blame me for implementing military laws." After the officer said that, he turned his horse's head and walked towards the place where the soldiers in other garrisons gathered.
"I thought we were not doing anything, but I didn't expect to fight the rioters outside the city." One of the men in the middle of the garrison's soldiers cursed.
No matter how much you scold, you should go to the city wall to defend the city.
No matter how much I scolded me, no one dared to really disobey military orders.
There were already many border troops on the top of the city. As soon as these guards came up, the city suddenly became crowded.
The soldiers and horses of the border army looked down on the soldiers of these guards, and the people of the guard looked down on the soldiers of the border army that had just suffered defeat. Both sides occupied a place on the top of the city and divided into different small circles.
It was almost noon.
Several soldiers carried the porridge bucket and brought food to the soldiers guarding the city on the top of the city.
Usually there are only two meals a day, but there is no food at noon. Now, because there are bandits outside the city, there is an extra meal at noon.
Every soldier who participated in defending the city could drink a spoonful of porridge.
The porridge in the wooden barrel cannot reach the point where the chopsticks cannot fall, but for the officers and soldiers who have been busy on the city for most of the day, it makes them feel much more comfortable to drink a bowl of porridge.
"Not good, the bandits are coming." A sharp-eyed man pointed his fingers outside the city and shouted loudly.
When the officers and soldiers guarding the city on the top of the city heard that the bandits were coming, many people looked out of the city.
Many people even lay on the squadron and looked out at the city.
In the direction of the rioters outside the city camping, countless dust was flying, and black cavalrymen were seen galloping from afar.
"It's the cavalry, the cavalry of the bandits."
"Maybe it was reinforcements sent to us by the imperial court."
There are all kinds of words among the officers and soldiers on the top of the city, but more rational people think that the cavalry that arrived was a cavalry of the bandits.
The bandits just besieged the city yesterday. There were no such many cavalry in the prefectures and counties near Tianchengwei, and it was impossible for the reinforcements from Datong Prefecture to arrive so quickly.
Soon, the order to defend the city was issued.
In this way, all the officers and soldiers guarding the city on the top of the city understood that the cavalry that suddenly appeared outside the city was the soldiers of the bandits.
"We general and a few thousand households together may not have so many cavalry." On the top of the city, a soldier from the garrison whispered.
The people next to him heard this and hummed, saying, "You haven't seen that these cavalry outside the city are all one man and two horses. Not to mention our Tiancheng Guard, even the border troops can't find a few."
The large group of cavalrymen who came from a distance stayed not far outside the city, and the officers and soldiers on the top of the city could clearly see these cavalry.
The officers and soldiers on the city were getting busier and busier.
Whether it is the guards in the city or these soldiers, they all know that the war will begin soon. No one dares to be lazy at this time. In order to survive, everyone works hard.
The cavalry that came to Tianchengwei was Tan Zaiwang's cavalry battalion.
After he and the Cavalry Battalion arrived at Xinping Fort, he only rested for one night. At dawn the next day, he led the Cavalry Battalion to Tianchengwei.
Liu Qingzhou, stationed outside Tiancheng Acropolis, was also surprised when he saw Tan Zaiwang and the Cavalry Battalion.
Although their Second War Army Division also had some cavalry, it was too small to be used as whistle cavalry and convey information, and could not be used as cavalry to fight.
Now that Tan Zaiwang's cavalry battalion has made up for the shortcomings of their Second War Soldier Division's lack of cavalry.
"Liu Yingzheng, I will support you at the order of Zhang Shizheng." Tan Zaiwang, who had gotten off the horse, said to Liu Qingzhou who was greeting him.
The cavalry of the entire cavalry battalion remained not far away, and he only brought a few cavalry to Liu Qingzhou's war camp.
Liu Qingzhou said with a smile: "Tan Yingzheng, you are here so good. To be honest, I was thinking before, when will your cavalry come to Datong? I didn't expect that you will come just after you finished talking, haha."
He was very welcome to Tan Zaiwang and the Cavalry Battalion.
"Your arrival is a long drought for us!" Ji Kui, who was standing beside Liu Qingzhou, said enthusiastically.
Facing the enthusiastic attitudes of these two people, Tan Zaiwang was very happy and said with a smile: "To be honest, I regret not being able to arrive two days earlier. If I had arrived in Datong two days ago, I might be able to fight against the government army with Liuyingzheng and you."
"Haha, it's not too late now. Wang Bao, the general of Xuanfu, is in the city. This time, you cavalry are there, and he can't escape no matter what he says." Liu Qingzhou said with a loud laugh.
The last time Wang Bao escaped with some of the Xuanfu troops, he felt very regretful.
If Wang Bao and Yang Guozhu were captured in that battle two days ago, it would be impossible for so many troops from the border troops to be brought to Tianchengwei by Wang Bao.
Tan Zaiwang nodded vigorously and said, "Don't worry, he will definitely not be able to escape this time."
Several people soon arrived at the camp tent.
The three of them sat down around a wooden table.
Liu Qingzhou's guard poured a few glasses of water and brought it to three people.
