Chapter 226 Five hundred women are hostages in front and Tartars are behind

Long Kong said nervously: "Sir, why have you all withdrawn?"

Yang Zhiyuan said helplessly: "The defenders on the city are seriously insufficient. We must go up to the city wall. Remember, no matter what, you must not open the city gate! If the city gate is opened and the Tartars rush in, the entire Aoshan City will be finished!"

Long Kong nodded quickly and agreed: "Sir, please rest assured, we will definitely defend the city gate to the death! Unless we all died in battle, no Tartar could pass us!"

Yang Zhiyuan nodded and turned around with the soldiers of the guards.

In the second half of the night, the Aoshan Cang City was very calm and nothing worth paying attention to. From time to time, refugees arrived and entered Aoshan City in a terrifying state, but the number was already very rare. In one night, less than two or three hundred people came. The next morning, the number of refugees arrived in Aoshan City was getting smaller and smaller, and only a dozen people, or even a few people arrived intermittently. During the period near noon, no refugee was seen within half an hour. This shows that the arrival of the Tartars was getting closer and closer.

Sure enough, the mouse soon sent a message that the Tartars were less than fifty miles away from Aoshan Alumina. All the gates of Aoshan Alumina were slowly closed. Except for the soldiers from the First Association who continued to carry out special tasks, other soldiers appeared on the city walls. The soldiers from the Artillery Association also deployed ten cannons near the North Gate.

At the north gate of Aoshan City, there were only Long Kong and a dozen temporary armed refugees guarding the guards. The officers of the guard team came to do the last inspection. This time, it was not Yang Zhiyuan who arrived at the city gate, but Yang Zixuan who was easy to talk to. He smiled and patted Long Kong's shoulder and encouraged him, "I will leave the safety of the city gate to you! No matter what, you must not open the city gate! Otherwise, if the Tartars kill in, everyone in the city will suffer!"

Long Kong said with a stern face: "Sir, please don't worry, we will definitely keep the city gate tightly! Unless we are all dead, even a single Tartar will not be able to enter!"

Yang Zixuan said with satisfaction: "Good guy! When you make military achievements, come to our guard team! Come to my army! I like a man like you!"

Long Kong said gratefully: "Thank you for your kindness."

Yang Zixuan patted Long Kong on the shoulder again, expressing his satisfaction, and then left.

After walking thirty feet away, Yang Zixuan suddenly bent down, as if he wanted to vomit. However, after vomiting for a long time, he didn't vomit anything. He had to smile helplessly, and then rub his chest hard. The circulation of qi and blood finally got better.

The warrior next to him asked differently: "Baihu, what's wrong with you?"

Yang Zixuan shook his head and said that he was fine. He raised his legs and continued walking. After a while, he said to himself: "No wonder Hutou doesn't want to come. Damn, it's really disgusting... Such a stingy language, even I was disgusted, it's still from my mouth... I will never do such a thing again... Why don't that bastard Mo Yu see? It's the most appropriate thing to give him this kind of thing!"

A moment later, Yang Zixuan returned to the city wall and whispered to Zhang Zhun: "Long Kong said that he will definitely defend the safety of the North Gate to the death."

Zhang Zhun nodded and said calmly: "Very good. Follow the plan."

Yang Zixuan agreed to go.

Zhang Zhun held up a thousand-mile mirror and looked at the northern wilderness of Aoshan City.

The fields outside were empty, and there were no refugees or any Tartars. However, sensitive people could sense that the pace of war was getting closer and closer to Aoshan City. The air around Aoshan City seemed to be gradually heating up. Whether inside or outside the city, it seemed quite quiet.

According to the information, the slave chief led by the team was Shublu.

What kind of tricks will Shublu have?

...

Shublu actually had no tricks. His best skills were archery skills, and mechanics were not what he was good at. However, he had a lot of thoughts in his mind. The strongest idea was to tear Zhang Zhun apart. He wanted to air-dry every piece of meat on Zhang Zhun's body and hang it up. When he wanted to eat, he would pick a piece, boil it in water, and eat it. This would not only fill the stomach, but also relieve hatred.

His hatred towards Zhang Zhun could not be eliminated in a short time. The reason is very simple. Since he came to Shandong, Shublu has not suffered such a big loss. When did the Tartars come ashore and come back with a lot of money? Even if there is a loss, at most, there will be a few people, and there will definitely be no more than ten people. Only when the sneak attack on Zhang Zhun did not gain anything, but the entire army was wiped out! Tian Hengdao's strength was removed by 40% at once!

Is it tolerable, who can't bear it?

However, after suffering such a great loss, Shublu had no way to take revenge directly to Zhang Zhun. After all, Tianheng Island is still a distance from Fushan City. This distance is not long or short, but it is still quite troublesome for the Tatars who are not good at water warfare. What's even more terrible is that the two original pig-bearded boats on Tianheng Island were captured by Zhang Zhun. Without a boat, even if the Tartars are brave, good at fighting, and fearless of death, and superb archery skills, they will not be able to fly to Fushan City.

After suffering such a great loss, but he was unable to take revenge and scrub the shame. Shu Bulu's mood was really as frustrated as he was. Although he went ashore to sweep him, he gained a lot of benefits and burned a county town. However, he was bullied by Zhang Zhun and turned around to bully others. After all, he did not have the pleasure of taking revenge. If he had the ability, he would go to the main owner to take revenge and vent his anger against irrelevant people. What's the matter?

Shublu's prestige was also challenged by internal challenges for the first time. Because of the death of Mukata and others, subordinates began to doubt whether Shublu had fallen into the trap carefully arranged by Zhang Zhun. If this is the case, Shublu's mind would be a little slow. If such a mistake happened again, all the Tartars on Tianheng Island would be very likely to be trapped in without leaving any one.

The competition within the Tartars is quite fierce, especially at the level of Niu Lu Zhangjing. No matter how brave you are, how superb archery skills, or how powerful mechanics are, if you cannot bring benefits to others, then you, Niu Lu Zhangjing, will fail. If everyone opposes you, then your position will definitely be unsteady. To talk about archery masters and mechanics masters, there are many of them in the Tartars, and no one will be much worse than Shublu.

Shublu was of course very angry in the face of his subordinates' distrust. However, he could not stop this distrust from spreading. The organization within the Tartars was like this. As long as you can bring me benefits, I will recognize you. If you can't bring me benefits, even father and son may turn against each other. Brothers Jirgalang and Amin are typical examples.

Even if Shublu is the boss of Tianhengdao, if he cannot seek benefits for his subordinates, he may be kicked off the stage. In terms of archery and melee kung fu, there is really no shortage of talents in the Tartars. For example, under Shublu, there is a guy named Oboi, who is a first-class warrior even though he is young. Shublu believes that the only thing that is better than Oboi is that his brain is better. Oboi's brain is not easy to use. However, if he cannot prove as soon as possible, his brain is still good. Maybe his subordinates will elect Oboi as the boss.

"Zhang Zhun, you harmed me!"

Every time it was late at night, Shublu couldn't help but curse Zhang Zhun fiercely.

Fortunately, the opportunity to take revenge finally came.

When Shu Bulu heard that Zhang Zhun had occupied Aoshanwei, he was sincerely happy. This damn Zhang Zhun was sent to Tianheng Island by himself, which was simply seeking death. Last time, it was a labor expedition, and the risks at sea were difficult to control. This time, Zhang Zhun was at his doorstep. What else did he fear? When fighting on land, the Dajin Power Brigade had never been afraid of anyone coming!

"revenge!"

"revenge!"

"revenge!"

Shublu had only these two words in his mind.

He swore that he must tear Zhang Zhun away!

Shublu also subconsciously felt that the last sneak attack on Fushan City was because Muqueta was too trash. If Muqueta had been more flexible, smarter and more decisive in the front line, even if he could not defeat Zhang Zhun, he could withdraw smoothly. No matter what, it should not be the result of the entire army's annihilation. You must know that if he was only hit, even if he suffered a devastating blow, there was still a big difference between the entire army's annihilation.

Even if there are heavy damage and large casualties, as long as someone escapes, the foundation of the Tartars is still there, the spirit of the Tartars is still there, and the backbone of the Tartars is still there, and they can continue to rise in time. However, if they are wiped out, no one will escape. Then the morale of the Tartars will be greatly hit and will be difficult to recover for a long time.

In one battle, two hundred people were lost, but the entire army was wiped out. This seems to have never been seen in the history of the Dajin brigade. Even if it was fighting tens of thousands of people from the Ming army in the north, the Dajin brigade's losses were not so great. It was a long time ago that the loss of two hundred people was a long time ago. Therefore, for the Tartars, it was definitely an unprecedented blow.

Fortunately, this time I was in charge.

Shu Bulu believes that with his rich combat experience, there will be no problem in killing Zhang Zhun on land. His subordinates and hundreds of people are enough to fight against the Ming army of tens of thousands. No matter how capable Zhang Zhun is, Aoshan City cannot have tens of thousands of subordinates!

"The whole army is dispatched!"

Stimulated by the angry revenge mentality, Shublu, with strong confidence, with the fierceness of tearing Zhang Zhun to pieces, and murderously led all the Tartars to kill Aoshan City to find Zhang Zhun's bad luck.

After getting ashore, the Tartars adopted the usual tactics, divided into multiple ways, constantly expelling refugees and creating panic. At the same time, they inserted their traitors into the refugees and mixed into Aoshan City. In order to more effectively disintegrate the morale of the Ming army, Shublu also arranged hundreds of hostages, all of which were young women. They drove the hostages away from the front of the team to slow down the defenders' counterattack.

These pre-attack preparations took Shublu more than a day. However, Shublu felt that his preparations would not be in vain. As long as he took down Aoshan City and captured Zhang Zhun, everything would be rewarded. Everything was ready. Shublu finally gathered all the Tartars and rushed to Aoshan City.

...

"Tartars!"

"The Tartars appeared!"

The lookout on the Octagonal Tower issued a sharp alarm.

"Dangdangdang!"

Then, the loud sound of gongs continued to ring in the city

Zhang Zhun quickly came to the city wall, raised the thousand-mile mirror and looked outside.

It's indeed a Tartar.

On the north wilderness, a large number of Tartars appeared.

However, the first thing they saw was not the Tartars, but hundreds of hostages. In front of the Tartars, there were hundreds of ordinary people, all of them young women. The vicious Second Tartars hid behind these women and approached Aoshan City. By the way, the Second Tartars worked all day long, such inhumane work!

This is another move!

Zhang Zhun's face suddenly became gloomy.

Using the Han people as the forewarming is a tactic that the Tartars have tried and tested. According to general rules, if the Ming army on the city wall opens fire randomly, these young women will definitely be killed. However, if the Ming army on the city wall hesitates, the Tartars will have to come forward. If the Tartars enter a distance of thirty feet, their arrows will still be very lethal. Therefore, the Ming army basically reached a consensus on this move, that is:

Open the fire resolutely!

In any case, we cannot let the Tartars lean on it.

As for the hostages in the middle of the fronts of both sides, the chances of wanting to survive are really small. Usually, they have become the most tragic cannon fodder. The defenders have sufficient reasons to defend their actions: for the lives of tens of thousands of people in the city, they can only sacrifice these pitiful hostages. If they are to save these hostages and to destroy the lives of tens of thousands of people in the city, it is even more sinful. The dead hostages are in the nine springs, and if they feel wronged, they can only seek revenge on the Tartars. Because, it is not the Ming army that caused their tragic fate, but the Tartars.

Aoshan City, can it be an exception?

Zhang Zhun said in a deep voice: "Without my order, no shooting is allowed!"

The soldiers of the escort team were all slightly terrified.

Li Jiaxi said with some concern: "Sir?"
Chapter completed!
