Chapter 244 Next step
That's right.
Eliminate the problem itself and the problem ceases to exist.
Fear comes from oneself. If you kill yourself, you will no longer be afraid.
When Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng divided into two teams and entered the Meng Yuan stronghold, some of the Mongolian soldiers resisted tenaciously and were killed, some knelt down and begged for mercy and were killed, and some were killed indifferently.
Meng Yuan soldiers are also human beings, and they also have limits.
Who said there were no Mongolians who surrendered?
Who said that the Meng Yuan people were born as a fighting nation and were not afraid of death?
It's all bullshit.
Zhang Sheng and Wang Gui commanded their subordinate soldiers to kill more than a thousand people, until there was no longer a single living Mongolian soldier in the entire Mongolian camp.
Zhang Guang's head was chopped off, and Zhang Sheng wrapped it in a piece of black cloth, intending to take it back and present it to Wu Nian.
They took a look at this Mengyuan village.
Even the cars were destroyed and used as firewood.
Only tents, bedding, and a pitiful amount of food were left.
Although the supplies are small, they are still useful, not to mention the armor, weapons, etc. that were stripped from the corpses of the Mongolian people.
Put these things here first, and when they return, they will send militiamen to clear the snow and bring carts to transport them back.
But before that, the body needs to be disposed of.
Wang Gui gave an order and asked the soldiers to tear down the walls of the stronghold, gather all the wood and corpses together, and then set them on fire.
Armor, weapons, and supplies are placed in the cave.
Amid the flames soaring into the sky, they led their troops back to the top of the mountain where Wu Nian was.
By the time they came back, it was already dark.
In front of the camp gate, Wu Nian looked at the head handed over by Zhang Sheng, shook his head, with a smile on his face, and said, "Throw it away. What do I need the head for?"
"Send the order. Ming Zhangjin, Liu Wu, Tieniu, and all the strongholds have been abandoned. Let's go back to Beishan Fort. Take a hot bath and have a good meal."
"yes."
The soldiers cheered up and shouted loudly.
It's over, it's finally over.
Although this outcome has been doomed for a long time, it is really a good thing that everything ended safely and with almost no casualties on our side.
It's time to go back and take a hot bath and have a good meal.
Wu Nian failed to return to Beishan Fort that day.
It took them two full days to clear the snow and use large trucks to transport tents, food and other supplies back. On the evening of the next day, Wu Nian returned to Beishan Fort.
Wu Nian was the last to arrive.
Zhang Jin, Tieniu, Li Yong, and Liu Wu had arrived long ago. Wu Nian was a little tired, but he still held on and took Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng back to the Fuhan General's Mansion.
Inside the hall.
Li Yong and others had been waiting for a long time. When they saw Wu Nian and the others coming in, they all stood up and bowed.
"Bring the prepared mutton soup quickly." Li Yong shouted towards the door. A domestic slave responded and immediately went down.
Not long after, the house slave came in carrying three bowls of fragrant mutton soup.
When Wu Nian and the three of them saw this bowl of mutton soup, they were like a strong young man seeing a twenty-eight girl. Their eyes lit up and they couldn't wait to start enjoying it.
After eating, they all felt warm and their fatigue was mostly relieved.
Wu Nian put down the bowl, raised his head and said to Li Yong: "Old Li, what is the situation in Beishan Fort now? Is anyone coming to join me?"
The three Mongolian and Yuan Dynasty captains are already in the past.
They must look forward.
Leaving aside the strength of the Meng Yuan people, the strength of General Wanhu and his six thousand captains are real.
What's more, there is Zhang Bu, a general with tens of thousands of Han households.
In the entire Yingqing Mansion, there is another Mongolian Yuan General of Ten Thousand Households and a Han general of Ten Thousand Households.
This is 40,000 soldiers.
It would be bad if no one came to him.
Speaking of this, Li Yong no longer felt sleepy. He cheered up and said with a smile on his face, "Don't worry, general. During the time you left, more than 2,500 civilians and military households came to join us."
"The general has now defeated four Mongolian and Yuan thousand captains head-on, and killed four to five thousand Mongolian and Yuan soldiers. It shocked Liaodong. I believe that as time goes by, the population in Beishan Fort will increase."
Zhang Jin, Tieniu, and Liu Wu arrived first and understood the situation in advance. After hearing this, they all smiled and nodded, acting relatively calmly.
Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng were more excited.
"This is really great. If we have 100,000 people in Beishan Fort, no, as long as there are 50,000 people, 10,000 soldiers, 10,000 militiamen, armor, and weapons, we can rely on it just like this time.
Due to the favorable geographical location, we are entangled with the Mongolian and Yuan soldiers and tens of thousands of Han households in the entire Yingqing Prefecture."
Zhang Sheng clenched his hands into fists and said with excitement on his face.
"Yes. As long as we listen to the general's orders, rely on the terrain resolutely, and do not go head-to-head with the Meng Yuan people, we will definitely win." Wang Gui nodded heavily and glanced at Wu Nian, his eyes full of respect and admiration.
These people are martial artists, even he and Zhang Sheng are not even martial artists.
In terms of combat ability, they may not be able to defeat outstanding soldiers.
In short, if Wu Nian was not the soul to coordinate them, they would be of no use. Only under Wu Nian's coordination can they exert their power.
Fight resolutely.
Everyone had smiles on their faces, as if their hands were two doors that could easily block the Meng Yuan people.
After hearing Li Yong's words, Wu Nian felt happy and relaxed a little.
It would be nice if someone defected to me.
But he was not so optimistic about the future. After thinking for a while, Wu Nian took a deep breath, his face became serious, he raised his hands and pressed down.
Everyone who was rejoicing immediately calmed down and looked up at Wu Nian.
"The spy is here to report. Jin Huanshan is about to arrive at Beishan Fort. But according to my estimation, he will go back. The people he wants to save are already dead. There is no point in him moving forward. What's more, what if the heavy snow continues to fall? He won't
Are you trapped in Beishan Castle too?"
"Our armor, weapons, and bows and arrows have also been greatly increased. Soldiers and militiamen are not afraid of the Mongolians. With their current strength of several thousand men, they will attack our Beishan Fort. I am not bragging, but they can't attack it."
"I think he will withdraw his troops and then replenish the lost soldiers from Mongolia and Yuan. Together with the elite Han soldiers trained by Zhang Bu, the decisive battle will be next year."
"But this is not certain. We cannot relax. The training of elite soldiers and militia cannot be stopped."
"In addition, we also have two questions." At this point, Wu Nian looked up at everyone and sighed.
After listening to Wu Nian's words, everyone calmed down.
Yes. The threat from Jin Huan Mountain is still real, and now is not the time to relax.
When they heard the "two questions", everyone became completely serious and pricked up their ears to wait for the next step.
"Actually, it's just a question." Wu Nian shook his head again, his tone a little solemn.
"As the population increases, Beishan Fort cannot be blocked. It's okay in winter, but if there are too many people in summer, plague may occur."
"In terms of food, I hoarded a batch of food with the help of General Wei Changqing. But that batch of food was originally prepared for only 10,000 people. Now there are 20,000 people in Beishan Fort, and there will be more in the future.
.”
"It's okay to say that the Beishan Fort can't be fortified. I've observed that the terrain in Mangya Mountain is difficult and there are mountain springs. Five thousand people will go there and repair the fortifications. As long as there is enough food, even if three thousand Mongolian soldiers attack, they
We won’t be able to defeat it even if we fight for a year.”
"The key is food."
"If more and more people defect to us, even reaching 50,000 people. How can the land outside the small Beishan Castle feed so many people?"
"We have to find a way to get food."
Everyone was at a loss after hearing this.
Special code.
More people is a good thing.
But there are troubles when there are too many people.
