Riding a chopping horse and stepping into the world

Chapter 183 Border Town Reaction
This attack started from the first attack of the Mongols, and now it has been nearly three hours. By the time the battlefield is cleaned up, the sun has already passed the middle, and it is already afternoon.

Not long after Zhang Tie and others cleaned the battlefield, Yan Beichen and others led troops to support them. What they saw were two carriages full of Mongol heads.

This battle was over before they arrived.

As for the Mongolian tribe near Biancheng County, Zhang Tie has also inquired about it, and he also knows that the tribe that often comes to Biancheng County to fight grass valley is the same tribe as this tribe - the Tala tribe.

Such a major injury, for a small tribe, can be said to be traumatic, and it is impossible to come to invade again, unless they want to die.

However, in order to prevent accidents, Zhang Tie and others still had to garrison the fortress, and they did not dare to let the soldiers return to the city. They were afraid that the Mongols really wanted to kill them.

After a little help with the defensive measures, Yan Beichen and the others took their soldiers back again.

The so-called defensive measures are actually digging pony pits and trapping pits. This time, a lot of pony pits were dug, and the outside of the fortress was dug all over.

As for the horse traps, there are very few, only six in one direction, a total of 24, and they are all marked.

This mark can only be read by themselves, and the mark is mainly to prevent their own people from accidentally falling into the pit.

As the battlefield was cleared, the beacon fire was extinguished by Zhang Tie's men. Now that the Mongols were repelled, there was no need for the smoke to rise anymore.

After three hours of thick wolf smoke, it completed its mission and dissipated into the air.

……

In a village on the border, the old man who had been sitting in the bell tower looked at the dissipated smoke, showing a puzzled look.

"Why did the wolf smoke stop? Could it be that the wood has been burned out? Or has it been breached?"

Not only the old man in Zhonglou was puzzled, but also some villagers in the nearby villages who hadn't escaped. They didn't know what was going on with the beacon smoke, and why all of a sudden, the four towering beacon smoke disappeared.

Some daring villagers sneaked to the fortress, and the sight that caught their eyes made these villagers widen their eyes and mouths, looking at the safe and sound soldiers in disbelief.

……

At the north gate of Biancheng County, endless crowds rushed towards the gate of the city, making the gate of the city extremely crowded and chaotic.

These desperately crowded people who wanted to enter the city were all people who came from all over the county after seeing the smoke rising from the border.

When the Mongols attacked a few years ago, there was no smoke. It was only after the Mongols arrived that we found out that the Mongols had come to clear grass in the valley again, so not many people came to the county to take refuge.

But this time the beacon fire was used again, and the strong smoke notified these people that the Mongols had attacked. Therefore, except for people like the old man who rings the bell, the other people left their homes and came here. The county seat, prepare to take refuge in the county seat.

The Mongols have been fighting in Grass Valley for so many years, but they have never attacked the county seat. The fortress has been attacked many times, but no Mongols have broken it every time, and the soldiers stationed in the fortress have all died in battle.

It was because of the garrison of the fort that it was broken by the Mongols, causing many soldiers to die one after another. This made the fort abandoned by everyone and no longer used. Until today, the new county magistrate reopened the fort again.

Although the soldiers in Biancheng County, led by Zhang Tie, defeated the bandits, they not only cleared the bandits in Biancheng County, but also eliminated the rioting bandits in Yan'an County next door.

However, they still had no confidence and felt that the soldiers could withstand the Mongol attack.

The strength of the Mongols has left deep footprints in their hearts, and they feel that they are invincible.

They thought that it would be a matter of time before the fortress was breached by the Mongols. What they thought was to enter the county and avoid the disaster while the fortress was not breached.

The recruits stopped their drills, put on their armor, and held gleaming weapons, stationed on the walls of the four city gates in Biancheng County, looking around vigilantly to prevent accidents from happening.

The government officials in Biancheng County are also very busy.

The sudden increase of many people inside and outside the city caused the tranquility of the entire Biancheng County, both inside and outside the county, to be greatly impacted.

After the beacon smoke started to ignite, within an hour, the outside of Biancheng County was crowded with people, and everyone was in a state of panic.

In Beimen City, Yu Yingyou and more than 50 government officials stood in front of the city gate, arranging for people to enter the city one after another.

Fortunately, there was Yu Yingyou as the host outside the city gate, relying on his usual prestige in Biancheng County, coupled with the arresters behind him holding Xiuchun knives, this didn't cause disturbance among the eager crowd.

In the current special situation, all the people in the county yamen in Biancheng are frantically busy.

Zhang Shun, the county magistrate, sits in the yamen, and the chief blogger Guo Mingjian and other clerks are on the sidelines to help plan how to deal with the sudden increase in the county's population.

County lieutenant Liu Yi and grand master Qiao Shan each led more than 30 yamen servants to patrol the streets.

With such a big commotion, it is natural to be on guard against some small townsmen in the city, and to look at the current situation in Biancheng County, and make trouble from it, bringing some unnecessary troubles to Biancheng County.

Now people in Biancheng County are in a state of panic. Once there is chaos, the consequences will be disastrous.

But I don't know if it was because of the patrolling of the streets or other unknown reasons, the expected crime trafficking incident did not happen.

This is the only good news that Zhang Shun and others have heard since the rising of the wolf smoke.

However, the explosive flow of people not only brought the disadvantage of panic, but also brought some unexpected benefits.

First of all, in terms of business, it has exploded a lot for the time being, and almost all the goods in major shops have been swept away, even grocery stores.

Secondly, the situation this time also made the hearts of many people in Biancheng County united and united.

The people in the city helped the recruits carry the defense equipment to the city wall to prevent the Mongols from attacking the city.

When Cao Shuangxi rushed to the north gate of Biancheng County from the middle fortress, there were still many people crowded at the gate of the city, waiting in line to enter the city.

Facing the crowded crowd, Cao Shuangxi, who came with a mission, couldn't get in for a while, and it was impossible to queue up, so she had to shout loudly: "The people in front give way, and I have an urgent military situation to report."

As early as when Cao Shuangxi came here on horseback, the people outside the city also saw it.

Seeing that the other party was wearing a military uniform and came from the north, the common people guessed his identity. He was probably a soldier stationed in the fort. He came to Biancheng County at such a time because he was probably in a hurry.

So the people retreated to both sides to make way for Cao Shuangxi to pass.

Cao Shuangxi got off his horse, clasped his fists at the surrounding people and said, "Thank you all!"

"The vanguard of the Mongols has been defeated by us and has retreated to the prairie. Don't panic, everyone, and slowly enter the city."

After Cao Shuangxi quickly told the general situation of the battle to the people, he led the horse and walked quickly into the city gate.

Cao Shuangxi did this because he saw so many people gathered outside the city, and was afraid of accidents, so he took this opportunity to tell the news of repelling the Mongols so that the people would not panic.

One word stirred up a thousand waves, and the news of repelling the Mongols made the people stunned. They forgot to ask for a while, and Cao Shuangxi entered the city gate.

This news was really shocking to them. They had thought that the fortress would be breached and Biancheng County would be defeated, but they never thought that the Mongols would be repelled.

"is this real?"

"My God! Repelled the Mongols? Really or not?"

"Haha! I knew that under the leadership of Master Zhang, the Mongols would definitely be defeated."

"Come on, I think you were the most anxious to enter the city just now, and now you still say that, I said brother, you need to show some face."

Although it was just a message from a soldier and there was no concrete evidence, the people still believed that it was true because there was no need to deceive them.
