Chapter 204 Crowd

In today's battle, although there were many casualties, everyone won the battle in the end.

Although the situation was very dangerous when the camp was broken into, three camps before and after were broken, and hundreds of people were killed or injured, but in order to boost morale, Wang Shixian still greatly praised everyone in the camp, and immediately fulfilled his promise of rewarding wine and meat .

it is necessary.

In the face of the coming Mongolian army, the prerequisite for Guo Ning to launch a decisive blow is that the military forts in Haicang Town and Laizhou will not waver.Even if the main force of the Mongolian army will not be placed on attacking the camp, Haicang Town must at least retain the power to fight the Mongolians.

This is not an easy task. It requires ten times the courage and confidence of tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the entire camp, and when necessary, they must bear huge sacrifices.

Therefore, the news of Guo Zhongyuan's victory has been sent to all parts of Laizhou by Lu Bu to encourage him.

But that's not enough.

Therefore, the victory over Mongolia's Aljinchi raid is also worthy of publicity.

Those foul-smelling Mongolian light cavalry, like ghosts, are the sharp blades galloping at the forefront of the Mongolian army, and they have acted like today countless times.

Running at high speed, driving in for a long time, disrupting the interior of the city, causing turmoil, spreading fear, and then causing the seemingly solid city defense to collapse.They have done it too many times, and it is too natural; this time they are also taking the medicine according to the prescription, preparing to win the victory they deserve.But they failed.

At the end of a fierce battle, the results of the battle were finally counted, and it was found that only a dozen or so Alqinchi had died from the heavy knives and axes of Ni Yi's troops.And even more people died at the hands of the strong men who frantically entangled and fought back.

Correspondingly, the two camps that were first breached by the Mongols suffered heavy casualties. On the contrary, many of the strong men who later fought to the death with the Mongols survived.

As Wang Shixian said, as long as he is not in chaos or afraid, the Mongols are human beings, not real ghosts.

There are tens of thousands of people in the camp here, and one person with one knife can chop a hundred Mongolian cavalry into pieces!If you can defeat 100 people today, you can defeat 1000 people tomorrow!

These words were also repeated by Wang Shixian to the people that night.

He arranged extra wine and meat, and really prepared a hundred coins... Every Mongolian cavalry has the same life value, and anyone who kills a Mongolian cavalry will be rewarded.Interestingly, at the end of the battle, there were fewer and fewer Mongols, while more and more strong men and soldiers surrounded them.As a result, several rewards of consistent money were finally divided into five, six or even more than ten shares, and each person only got dozens of Taihe Tongbao jingling.

Money is always good, and so is a whole party.

The common people were not controlled by the fear brought about by the casualties, and some even began to look forward to what would happen to the spring plowing next year after the Mongols were repelled.And Wang Shixian also laughed and accompanied the common people to fantasize together.

He knew that civilians were different from soldiers. Soldiers had long been used to life and death, while civilians couldn't always be tense, they needed a relaxing break.They have to be given time to adjust before they can be expected to meet more intense challenges.

The good news is that the main force of the Mongolian army has not yet approached.After annihilating the sentry cavalry of the Mongolian army, Wang Shixian pinched his nose to check their robes, and made sure that they had traveled at least three hundred miles to get here.

The marching speed of the main force of the Mongolian army cannot be so fast, so Wang Shixian still has at least two days to improve the defense in a targeted manner.

Wang Shixian has already thought carefully about what to do tomorrow.

He was the first subordinate to follow Guo Ning, but now, several people have surpassed him in status under Guo Ning's command.

If you don't work hard, will Guo Zhongyuan get on your head?
Wang Shixian has a sense of crisis, so he pays special attention to boosting morale and preparing for the battle.

But it is also because of the boosted morale that some soldiers will inevitably relax a little after returning to the camp... This is a natural feeling of relaxation and relaxation, and it is inevitable.

In the middle of the night, at the time of the end of the ugly night and the beginning of the Yin Dynasty, Liang Kuo and Ge Qingshu, the strong men on duty, were standing guard on the watchtower to the west of the camp.

Several watchtowers around Haicang Town were built according to uniform specifications.

The veterans from northern Xinjiang are most familiar with the rules of the military camp, so the earliest watchtowers built are all firm and regular.There are clear regulations on how to communicate between several watchtowers and how to distribute the checkpoints centered on the watchtower.

However, as the elite soldiers were shrunk to the inside of the Tunbao to wait for the battle, and another group of soldiers followed Guo Zhongyuan to Yidu, only a small number of soldiers remained in Haicang Town, and most of them became officers. The army reorganized from strong men, and a small number of mobile forces assembled in Wang Shixian's hands.

In this way, there is obviously a shortage of experienced manpower on the outer watchtower.

For example, in the watchtower where Liang Kuo and Ge Qingshu were located, the officer in charge was Wang Shixian's old subordinate, but that officer had fought against the enemy today, so he was very tired and slightly injured, so he had already gone to bed.

As for Liang Kuo and Ge Qingshu, they said they were on guard, but they actually spent most of their time chatting.

Ge Qingshu came from a well-to-do family, and had a better life than Liang Kuo, a poor man. He was showing off his wife's cooking skills and boasting how delicious roast pork was.

As Liang Kuo listened, he leaned his back against the wall and dozed off.

When he woke up with a start, he found that Ge Qingshu had also fallen asleep.He rubbed his eyes, and moved Ge Qingshu's thigh that was pressing on him, only to feel pain all over his body.

Perhaps it was because Ge Qingshu was always talking about burning pork. Liang Kuo had a dream just now.

He pressed hard on the sore part of his shoulder, slowly recalling what had happened in the past few days.

Although everyone knew that the Mongolian army was coming, the army and the people had to do their best to defend.But in the past few days, digging soil and repairing walls has been miserable, so it is inevitable to be lazy when working. Many strong men don't have much time to work, and they all complain of suffering and tiredness.As a result, after a few days, the earth barriers on the outside of the camp were all gone, and many wooden fences around the camp were loose.

Someone secretly said, at least there are more than 1 people here. Even if the Mongols come, it is not my turn to go to the city to fight. Even if they fight, I will find a place to hide and pass.This camp is not my own land, so why bother?Are you not tired?

People who talk like this will definitely be cast aside from today on.

How vicious the Mongols are, you will only know after seeing them.They are really like what the warriors said, they are all killing stars, they are all beasts!Those hundred riders rushed in, killing heads rolling. If there were no fences or ditches, who could resist?

I only regret that the movement was a little slow in the past few days, and the fence was not strong enough, so many people died in the end!
If the wooden fences were stronger and thicker, and if the wooden bridges on the southeast sides of the camp were replaced with suspension bridges early, how could the Mongols rush in?There is really nothing to hide about this fight, if you want to cut corners, you will die only yourself!
Liang Kuo was just thinking about it, when there was a rustling sound in his ear.That was the sound from under the watchtower, as if someone was walking?
He thought it was some companion in the camp below who got up at night, so he leaned out, ready to say hello.

He looked down and only saw a few figures vaguely.Those figures walked lightly into the tent.Immediately, the tent shook violently a few times, as if someone inside made a suppressed strange cry, and on the gray tent, several dark marks suddenly appeared.

Liang Kuo was taken aback, and was about to yell, when a person outside the tent suddenly felt something and raised his head suddenly.

Fortunately, Liang Kuo withdrew his body in time and was not noticed by that person.But he crouched in the watchtower, his whole body collapsed, just now, in that startled glance, Liang Kuo saw the face and attire of that person, and saw their murderous gray eyes...that was a Mongol!

The Mongols are at it again!

Damn, what happened to them?Why does it come so abruptly every time?
This is the bottom of the watchtower?Are all the fools in the checkpoint on duty at night?
Liang Kuo cursed in his heart.But he is just a peasant, what can he do?He could only tremble all over, shrinking into the corner with hands and feet.

Accidentally, his foot stepped on Ge Qingshu's hand.

Ge Qingshu yelled "Wow", opened his eyes in a daze, and saw Liang Kuo's face as pale as a ghost, with cold sweat like waterfalls.

Ge Qingshu was frightened and yelled again.

Liang Kuo said sadly: "Stop shouting, the Mongols are coming."

"What?" Ge Qingshu jumped up in shock.

Just as his figure appeared in front of the window of the watchtower, two arrows swished from below.One penetrated into Ge Qingshu's shoulder, and the other flew past his forehead, leaving deep bloodstains on his scalp.

And Ge Qingshu didn't care about the people shooting arrows below him at all, and he didn't seem to feel any pain.

He took a few steps back and stared into the distance in a daze.

The moonlight is not bright tonight, and there are dark clouds billowing in the night sky, as if they correspond to the waves of the sea north of Haicang Town.And the roar of the waves became louder and louder, as if a deep black wave rolled onto the land, unfolded a wide front, and pressed towards the camp of Haicang Town.

Compared with this deep black wave, the camp is too small and too weak.

The tide was getting closer and closer, and suddenly there was a fire in the tide. The fire light changed from ten to hundreds, and from hundreds to thousands, illuminating the wave itself.

It turned out that it was not a wave, but a crowd.Thousands of Mongolian cavalry, riding up and down, look like black silhouettes under the firelight, and the silhouettes hold thousands of knives and guns high, shining with icy light.

What was originally thought to be the sound of the tide was actually the loud noise of galloping troops and horses.Compared with this terrifying momentum, those Mongolian light cavalry raids during the day are like children's play... Is this the real power of the Mongolian army?
From several watchtowers in the rear, a sharp gong sounded suddenly.After Ge Qingshu cursed, he also took the gong hanging on the wall and beat it vigorously.

Liang Kuo was still curled up in the corner.

"The Mongols are coming for real! Are we going to die?" He murmured.
