Tartars Invade
Chapter 77:Tartars Invade
After entering May, the weather in the north is more and more warm, which makes the green grass on the grass on the grass also grow wildly, fully showing a moving picture of the wind and grass.
All this is naturally not seen in Guangling City, but the atmosphere here is much more intense than it was a few months ago.After Lu Wei killed an all-in-one, no matter whether the Chinese merchants or the Mongolian people dared to produce anything in the scene, and this also made the name of the Guanglings field, and countless tribes on the grassland will not stop to bring their own leather goods and cattle and sheep in exchange for the goods they need.
However, not everyone in Guangling County can't see the scenery on the grassland, at least Li is the person who can look at the grassland scenery from afar.The reason, just because he stood much higher than any one, was standing in a bamboo basket hanging high above the wall, and above the huge kralip airship.
Since Lu Wei created this airship that can see dozens of miles away, the Guangling Barracks immediately used it.At the same time, he also selected seven or eight bold enough, good enough, and smart people stationed in the airship as long-distance sentry.It was not until the evening that the airships were recovered that they were able to rest.
Li is now a former rebuke of the waiting soldier, but also selected as one of them, and thus won a bold title of Li.Today he was standing in the basket with two other men looking at each other.In the distance, they have seen the scenery of dozens of miles nearby.
The grassland scenery is indeed beautiful, especially in the twilight season, and that vigorous vitality makes people not feel like they want to praise.However, the most beautiful things will be tired of looking at for a long time, especially in the case that they can only look at a general situation on high, and this feeling comes more violent.
So at this moment, Li now a few of them have become a little distracted, can not help but chat there:
"It's really hard to say that this airship is really good, but it's not convenient for us to stay on top of it all the time."The northern tirrels have not been able to go south for decades, and it is very boring for us to stare here.”
“Who said no?But this is Liu's general military order, who dares not to comply?And it's a lot more comfortable here than it's to be under, at least not to have to worry about someone finding us lazy."
"So, this airship is not useless at all?"At least let's steal a little lazy, right?"
Some people laugh and don’t take responsibility too seriously.It is no wonder that they, Da Ming has been living since Taizong for a long time, even if a little Tartar disturbs the border, only dare to attack some small villages, and I have not heard that any decent county has been harassed by Tatars.
After all, the feat of carrying troops to sweep the desert is still in sight, whether the Ming Army or the grassland ministries still hold a pretence, the Ming Army is invincible.But is this claim true?
A few people smiled and looked out at the outside.Suddenly, Li’s voice was a meal, his eyes were fixed on the northeast, and he was somewhat surprised: “I’m not dreaming, am I?”
“What happened?”The other two asked inexplicably, and then looked in the direction of his fingers, and his face suddenly changed.For they saw a black dot rapidly coming towards their side, and though the details of it could not be seen in the relation of height and distance, one thing was certain—a large number of cavalry was rapidly approaching the city of Guangling.
And from the direction in which these guys appeared, they must not be Daming's own army, that is, it can only be the Mongolian army on the north.And from the direction and speed of these Mongolians, they came to Guangling City!
After years of calm, the Mongolians actually sent troops to attack the city on the border of Daming!
After reaching this conclusion, all three seemed to be a bit blind.Although there are not many clashes between the Ming Army and the Mongolian people on the border, it is the first time that such a blatant insurrection has been committed.
Or Li now the fastest reaction, after the tidling, has picked up a bamboo barrel around, to throw the next, the rope of the bamboo tube will be whistling down from the sky, until there are still four or five feet away from the ground before being jerked by the rope, and then hit the rope, and then fell.
This change immediately alarmed the defenders in the city below.They looked up at some of them in amazement, only when the brother on it missed the thing.But before they could react, two bamboo cylinders fell down with the wind.
At this time, the face of the city's defenders finally changed completely - three cylinders fell, which was the most urgent military situation.
In a moment of constersion, the military attaché at the head of the city had loudly ordered: "Quick, pull the airship down, and hurry to report the matter of emergency military information and know the general assembly!"
After all, the airship is a new thing, and the soldiers at this time do not recognize words, and before there is no effective method of transmitting information, they can only communicate with this most simple means.
A moment later, the huge black airship was pulled down by the crowd, and the officer looked at the three men with a solemn face: "What happened?"
The three men's faces also looked very nervous, and finally Li said: "A large number of Tatar cavalry are running towards our Guangling County, it seems to be killing us."
“What?”The face of the museum changed again: “Can you see how many people?”How far are they from here?”
"Because they are too far apart, the number is not too clear, about one or two thousand people."As for the distance...” Lee now paused a little: “It should be about fifty miles, and in less than two hours they’ll be killed.”
The officer quickly frowned, and his heart raised it.Two thousand talls, this number can be really small, although the Guangling has a wall, but the family can keep it?
Just when the people in the city were in a panic, Liu Yi quickly brought people to rush to the news after learning the news.Then the military attaché repeated Li's words again, and Liu Yi's face became very gloomy: "Li Xian."
“The little one is here.”Lee is now busy taking a step forward.
“Are you sure they came to me?”
“It should not be wrong.There are no other towns near me that can labor a thousand or two tards to attack.And I have never heard of any tribe in the vicinity who used so many horses to hunt, and it is not yet the season of hunting.”Lee is now coloring.As a qualified reprimand, judging the situation is a very important quality.
“All right.”Liu Yi took a little bit, and there was already a decision on the dark face: "You take people to quickly ride out of the city, go to the surrounding city for help, and be sure to ask for help within three days, otherwise we can be in danger."
“Follow the order!”Now Li promised, and ordered a few familiar rebuked brothers, and hurried to the underground city.
After he went, Liu Yi quickly issued a series of orders: "Removed all the people in the northern part of the city, and took all the weapons to guard the city from the warehouse, especially the bow and stone wood were transported to the city."The gate was sealed with mud, and then sent people to the other side of the thresher to bring people into the city...”
Every time he gave an order, someone promised to leave, although everyone had some fictitiousness in their hearts, but they did not have timidity.At this time, the Ming, like the Japanese side, has not yet suffered any losses in the battle with the Tartar, even if the strength is not as good as the people, there is no timid heart.
In the end, Liu Yi gave an order: "Go, also send a message to the county gate, so that they are also ready."If there is a real war, the stability of the county will be maintained by them.”
With the rapid step of the soldiers and soldiers, Liu Yi's order was implemented uncompromisingly.This seems ordinary, usually even watching some lazy barracks began to run like a sophisticated machine.
Soon after, the county received this shocking news.
Even Lu Wei was stunned when he learned that there were Mongolians who had entered the county: “How is this possible?”Now it is not after the civil castle, Daming has always occupied the initiative of the north, and the strength of the Ming Army has not yet weakened, and there are also people who dare to attack?Aren’t they afraid of bruising their heads here?
Whether or not you can accept the news, but the military is urgent, the county order must also be put into the pre-war preparations.Soon, the officers in the county were all sent out, and some of the merchants who took over to the place, and those who went to the city to appease the people, immediately became busy.
This practice was indeed necessary, because when the people near them were driven out by the camp, the people in the city soon learned that the situation was not good, and for a time they were afraid, and some even planned to escape from the city to escape the war.
The people who carried out the enmity of Lu Wei's intention rushed forward to persuade them, and bluntly said that leaving the city for protection would only let them fall into the hands of the Tatar.It is said that with the support of the prestige and word of mouth established by the foreign family Lu Wei these days, the people finally did not fall away and returned to their homes with peace of mind.
The situation in the city has finally stabilized.But before Lu Wei could relax, a message that made him feel speechless came from outside: “What do you say?The merchants moved very slowly because they were bringing goods into the city?”He looked up at the man in front of him and asked.
The subordinate who was staring at his heart took a step forward with some fear: “It is... exactly.”Especially the people, who feel that they will not be killed by their fellow people, so it is very inappropriate."
"What a man who lays down his life without money."He grinned, and some sighed helplessly.
“What’s the best thing about the north gate?”The North Gate is the only way for the merchants to enter the city, but it is also the main attack of the enemy.
Lu Wei did not hesitate to say: "Since they made this choice, we have nothing to say."Let Liu shut down the door immediately, and everything is the first to ensure the safety of Guangling!”
