Chapter 696 Sit and Watch, Reinforcements, Hope,
Wenla Mountain is neither high nor big, but it is the only way from Jianzhouwei to Shenyang, so Daming set up a post station here. E Ω small "say Ww" W. ┡1XIAOSHUO. COM
There is a sergeant from the General Banner Department stationed at this post station, and there are also a lot of food and weapons stored, ready to provide supplies for the Ming army at any time.
It is such an important station node, but it is lifeless at this moment.
"Wow……"
A child's cry broke the silence, and the woman holding the child hurriedly turned around, coaxing: "Don't cry, don't cry, baby, be good, there will be porridge later."
More than a hundred men were holding the newly moved weapons and watching this scene with sad faces.
This is Wenla Mountain Station!
Zhang Ningwei frowned, looked at the women and children around the fire and said, "Tell those men, if the stockade is broken, you'd better get rid of your own women first, otherwise they will die with regret!"
As soon as the words passed, those men nodded heavily, and then went to their own women to explain.
"grown ups……"
Seeing those women taking out 'weapons' such as awls, the subordinates couldn't bear to say: "Sir, can't we break through?"
Zhang Ningwei said expressionlessly: "We only have fifty-six people. Go and see outside the stockade. Those savages are ten times as many as us. If we don't have these women and children, we can fight together, but how can we go with them?"
Walking to the edge of the stockade, Zhang Ningwei closed his eyes looking at the wild Jurchens who had already emerged from the cowhide tent.
"Woo woo woo..."
Amidst the sound of horns, those wild women came out one after another, and carefully put away their cowhide 'sleeping bags' and packed them up.
Animal skins, animal shoes, animal hats...
And the weapons in their hands are also various, and it is not bad to have an iron knife.
When he saw a leader shouting, Zhang Ningwei turned back with difficulty and said, "Let them get ready, women go first."
"If you don't want to be eaten by those savages, you have to do it yourself immediately after the camp is broken. Don't try to bear it.
One bite and you'll turn into the shit of those savages, get ready! "
The sobs sounded, and gradually became one.
Zhang Ningwei saw that his subordinates were depressed, and some people were even trembling all over, so he said: "Don't think that you can survive by surrendering. In Nuergandusi, I have never seen a fellow who surrendered alive. Kill one to get back the original, kill one." Two earn one, line up!"
More than fifty sergeants stood in front of the camp, their spears passed through the fence, but it seemed sparse.
Those civilian men followed in silence, raising their swords and guns, which was a bit scary.
"******"
"The enemy is attacking! Everyone... It's over! We're over!"
Zhang Ningwei's raised hand sank down, and the sergeants also lowered their spears.
All this is because of the bows and arrows in the hands of the wild Jurchens on horseback!
"Who gave them bows and arrows? Who! I don't accept it!"
Those were not primitive animal bone arrows, but standard bows and arrows.
If the opponent doesn't have a standard bow and arrow, Zhang Ningwei feels that he can hold it for at least an hour.
But now...
Zhang Ningwei said in grief and indignation: "It's a Korean!"
The atmosphere of despair spread in the camp. Those women pointed awls and knives at their vitals, and some of them were still encouraging each other...
The Jurchens began to bend their bows and set their arrows. Zhang Ningwei was about to order to retreat, but a sergeant beside him suddenly shouted: "My lord, there are cavalrymen coming!"
who is it?
The roar spread throughout the camp, the women put down their 'weapons', but the men cried out in grief.
"This is Nuer Gandusi, there will be no reinforcements, no!"
"Fight with them!"
"They all retreated beyond the range of the bow and arrow..."
The retreating sergeants made the idea of reinforcements an illusion.
Under the advantage, it will be a massacre.
During the retreat, a sergeant looked back and shouted in surprise: "My lord, the enemy has retreated!"
what rice?
Looking back, Zhang Ningwei saw that he had indeed retreated, and a single thought made him tremble all over.
"Reinforcements! These are our reinforcements! But where did they come from?"
Zhang Ningwei stumbled back and looked to the right greedily.
Fang Wu's scout Baihu was dealing with the enemy, stopping from time to time to teach the wild Jurchens who were chasing after him how to behave.
"We are saved!"
The narrow escape made Zhang Ningwei's body a little weak. He lay on the edge of the fence and watched, muttering.
"How come there are only this few people? What kind of firecrackers do they use, and how can they shoot so far..."
Li Manzhu led his subordinates to the side of the battlefield. Seeing that there were only a hundred or so scouts, he couldn't help but sneered and said, "Do Ming people dare to tease those savages?"
"Those savages are not afraid of death, Ming people are going to be in trouble!"
Less than two miles away from here, Mengge Timur was also expressing the same emotion.
"My lord, do we not care?"
Anyway, you have just been named the commander of Jianzhou Zuowei!
But Brother Meng'er shook his head, and said coldly: "It's not like we killed them. If anyone has the ability, go drill the old forest and seek revenge on those savages!"
"My lord, Li Man is here."
Mengge Timur laughed and drove his horse to meet him.
"Go, or stay?"
Li Manzhu asked.
Mengge Timur laughed and said, "These savages will become the best fighters after this battle. I will definitely not leave."
Li Manzhu nodded, and said expressionlessly: "That's up to you, but I hope you don't implicate me in Jianzhou Wei."
Brother Menger Timur was about to sneer, but when he saw the black line appearing in the distance, those prepared words turned into an exclamation.
"what is that?"
"what is that?"
The men around the fence all asked.
"It's our people! It's Daming's army!"
Zhang Ningwei jumped up like a child, turned around in the air, and shouted happily when he landed: "I'll say it, I'll say it! How could there be only this reinforcement! This is a scout!"
"Reinforcements are coming!"
The cheers dispelled the fear, and the women in the camp couldn't sit still anymore. They ran over with their children and children, looking greedily at the people and horses that appeared on the horizon.
"We are saved!"
"Da Ming is mighty!"
"Da Ming is mighty!"
"..."
The shouts were loud, and a sharp light flashed in Meng Ge Timur's eyes. Holding the knife handle, he stared at Li Manzhu's neck.
Li Manzhu rode his horse back and said with a sneer, "You want to take this opportunity to kill me, and then let the Ming people admit the established fact that you control the two departments, right?"
Brother Meng'er let go of his hand, and said calmly: "It's freezing cold, how many Ming people can have reinforcements!"
"My lord, the reinforcements from the Ming army have arrived. Excluding the civilian husbands, there are about two thousand households."
The scout made a big circle and finally came back.
There was some struggle in Li Manzhu's eyes, and then he and Meng Ge Timur looked at each other, and they nodded slightly at the same time.
Now it's up to those savages!
If Mingren is vulnerable, then...
