Chapter 133 Let’s have a World Cup in Weizhenbao

During the first day of the battle, Weizhen Fort did not withstand severe tests. In the face of Xu Xingxia's powerful archery skills, the Tatars wisely chose to suspend the attack. It is not known yet when the Tatars' next attack will be launched. Therefore, for the time being, Weizhen Fort is safe. When the Tatar cavalry retreated one after another, the defenders of Weizhen Fort breathed a sigh of relief.

"The Tartars... just retreated like this?" Chi Hu said in disbelief.

"The Tartars don't want to suffer too much casualties." Xu Xingxia said calmly.

"A day finally passed." Mao Shisan sighed.

After the Tatars retreated, the other soldiers of the white-clothed soldiers rushed to Xu Xingxia. They all knew very well that the reason why the Tatars retreated was completely defeated by Xu Xingxia alone. Dozens of Tatar cavalry were shot to death by Xu Xingxia. The others felt something was wrong and had to retreat obediently. It was really a man who was in the way of the pass, and tens of thousands of men could not escape!

This gave the soldiers of the white-clothed army a little more confidence in the victory of the battle. With masters like Xu Xingxia in charge, even if the Tartars surged up in large numbers, Weizhen Fort would not be easily defeated. If they could win in the end, Weizhen Fort would definitely become famous all over the world. And they would also become the world's most eye-catching combat heroes.

By the way, there has been no powerful figure in Ningxia Town for a long time. If the Tatar cavalry went south this time, but failed to achieve their goal, but instead made Weizhen Fort famous, they would have been a blessing in disguise. If they were lucky enough to be commended by the court or even the emperor's attention, each of them would have a brilliant future.

"Leave the guards, everyone else, rest early!" After patrolling around the city wall, Xu Xingxia issued an order to disband. The soldiers in white clothes and ordinary men who had been nervous for a day all left the city wall and went back to have a meal and rest. Xu Xingxia himself returned to the military camp and buried her head in the meal.

The first night was the five white-clothed soldiers led by Mao Shisan, and the twenty-five strong men who followed the battle. They were distributed in all directions of the city wall. In addition to fixed posts, Xu Xingxia also arranged swimming posts and lurking posts, as well as patrol teams. This was all seen from military books, in order to prevent any accidents. Many torches were lit on the walls of Weizhen Fort, which made the surrounding fields very bright. It was basically impossible for the Tatar cavalry to attack.

That night, Weizhen Fort seemed relatively calm. The defenders who had been nervous for a day fell asleep one after another. After several hours of suffering, most people's nervousness had calmed down. Most of the military households were able to face the fact that the arrival of the Tartars was relatively calm. More people mustered up the courage to fight the Tartars. In fact, breaking the city is definitely a dead end. Only by resisting desperately can they have a chance to survive.

"It's so damn!"

“We were too optimistic before!”

Of course, there are also people who are not calm. Paroge and Sobud's mood is very uneasy. The daytime battle shocked the two of them. Both of them had to painfully change their previous optimistic ideas, rack their brains to think about how to take down Weizhen Fort and get rid of the damn Xu Xingxia!

How to avoid Xu Xingxia's sharp arrows is the most critical issue. Such a monster archer has reached the point where a thousand people are enemies, and it is not something that a small number of Tatar cavalry can deal with. As long as Xu Xingxia is on the city wall for a day, the Tatars must pay a terrible and important price if they want to get close to Weizhen Fort.

Thinking of the possible price, the two of them felt even more painful. They really wanted to kill Xu Xingxia, and they really wanted to take over Weizhen Fort. However, the too great price was something they could not afford. If they had to pay the price of hundreds of people to kill Xu Xingxia, it would be a loss. It would be a loss!

The Hellerkin tribe is just a Tatar tribe with a weak strength. If you want the tribe to survive and develop and grow, you must pay attention to the ratio between the benefits and the costs at all times. If you pay a certain price, you must get a certain amount of benefits. Only actions that pay no benefits, or have huge costs but small benefits must be prohibited.

In other words, it is absolutely impossible to eliminate Xu Xingxia and let his tribe's strength be severely hit. The price that should be paid for destroying Xu Xingxia must be controlled within a proportion. For example, one hundred people, or one hundred and fifty people. Once this value exceeds this value, you have to think twice before doing it. If the entire Thousand-Person team is trapped in, Heller King will probably cut them down immediately.

To put it bluntly, the current life and death enemy of the Hellerjin tribe is actually not the Han people, but the Tumot tribe in the east, which is the man named Lin Danhan. No matter how powerful Xu Xingxia is, she can only be in a passive defense at present and cannot pose a fatal damage to the Hellerjin tribe. It is estimated that Xu Xingxia will not pose a fatal threat to the Hellerjin tribe in the next few years. However, Lin Danhan is different.

As the great leader of the powerful Tumot tribe, Lin Dankhan's power is becoming stronger and stronger, and he is in a strong position to occupy the area south of Yinshan. Once the Hellejin tribe is defeated, it will either exterminate the clan or immediately flee to other places. The best result is to be expelled. However, if the Hellejin tribe is expelled from the south of Yinshan, it may not be easy to find another place to survive. Other Tatar tribes are not Bodhisattvas!

Paroge thought about it but never thought of any good idea. If Xu Xingxia came out of the city, he could be besieged by the other party, and he was exhausted. However, with the barrier of Weizhen Fort, it was indeed very difficult for him to make things difficult for Xu Xingxia. He had to say helplessly to Sobud: "Big Prince, do you have any suggestions?"

Sobd said with a wry smile: "No."

Paroge frowned and said, "Are we going to continue attacking?"

Sobud did not respond and his brows frowned. Indeed, whether to continue attacking is a headache. The daytime battle shows that if they continue attacking, they will definitely have to pay a greater price. However, if they do not continue attacking, they will not be able to catch Xu Xingxia. If they cannot catch Xu Xingxia, it means that this time they go south and work in vain.

How to make a decision is indeed a very fatal question. Of course, Sobud wanted to capture Xu Xingxia and tear it apart and eat him raw piece by piece. However, if he had to pay hundreds of Tatar cavalry to achieve his goal, he was really hesitant.

Paroge frowned and said, "Why, how many more days should we wait?"

Sobd frowned and said, "How long can we wait?"

Paluoge said cautiously: "The other Ming troops in Ningxia Town have no combat power, so they don't dare to leave the city easily. Let's do this, I will bring five hundred cavalry archers around to guard the Ming troops in other places, and ensure that you have half a month to attack the city. What do you think?"

Sobud thought for a while and said slowly: "Okay! Half a month!"

He immediately ordered the Tatar cavalry to stop the full-scale attack and instead siege Weizhen Fort. The Tatar cavalry swam all over and blocked the Weizhen Fort. He felt that as long as the Weizhen Fort besieged for half a month, the defenders in Weizhen Fort would be exhausted. The small Weizhen Fort could not last for half a month.

The battle started very quickly, but ended very suddenly. People who thought that the first day of battle would be very bloody, were shocked. But this is fine. If the first day of battle was too bloody, I am afraid that ordinary military households would not accept it at all. Everyone needs an adaptation process.

After a peaceful night, the Tatar cavalry did not attack or sneak attack. The next day, the Tatar cavalry did not move at all. In the next few days, the Tatar cavalry camp, although people kept swimming back and forth, and the sound of horse hooves kept coming, did not attack Weizhen Fort. Xu Xingxia then understood that this was the Tatar cavalry that was about to siege Weizhen Fort, and when was the time to launch an attack again.

For the Tatar cavalry, siege is indeed a good strategy. Since it is impossible to attack directly, siege it. Through siege, the morale and combat effectiveness of the defenders will continue to decline. When the combat effectiveness and morale of the defenders are reduced to the bottom, the Tatars will launch another fierce attack and the possibility of breaking the city in one fell swoop is still very high.

In fact, if Xu Xingxia did not have enough food in his hands, he would have been restless now. I believe that the military households below had already had people's hearts. People without food would definitely rob food everywhere. Killing and setting fires is common. In order to suppress chaos, the army must be used. The army will inevitably conflict with the people. Once such a situation occurs, it will be not far from the city being captured.

Of course, it is another matter now. The current Weizhen Fort has sufficient food reserves. The management committee also has enough ability to control most of the military households in the city. The medicine provided by the doctor Lao Dong can also solve daily patients. The white-clothed army can also effectively maintain public order in the city. Any act of committing crimes will be severely punished.

Apart from not being able to go outside Weizhen Fort, during the period when they were besieged by the Tartars, the lives of the military households had basically not changed much. Weizhen Fort has enough food to last for almost a month, and the people are not worried about the big problems caused by food shortage. On the contrary, in order not to leave food for the Tartars, everyone eats as much as they can, and they will not save it easily. Because if you don’t eat now, you may not have to eat in the future.

Military families with livestock slaughtered livestock almost every day, eating some of the meat by themselves, but selling some of the meat to others. The principle is the same as food. Good things cannot be left to the Tartars. I would rather eat them all than leave a penny for the Tartars. As a result, during the period of siege, there was constant meat in the Weizhen Fort, which was a bit like celebrating the New Year in advance.

Wang Qinian's grocery store is still open as usual, and there are still a lot of customers. Many of the goods this guy stocked up have been cleared tonight. In the past, the military households were so anxious that they hid every copper plate and were reluctant to take it out and use it easily. But now, they have all taken it out. Because, if it is not used now, if the Tartars breaks the city, they will be used as spoils for the Tartars.

Zhu Hengzhi's teahouse is also open as usual, opening on time every morning and closing on time every evening. However, no guests come to the door. Even during the siege, the military households do not have the money to drink tea. The price of a pot of ordinary tea can buy two or three kilograms of meat. How is this account worth the most? The military households all know it all.

The weather in May is not particularly hot. The temperature in the early morning and evening is particularly suitable. Even if you don’t leave Weizhen Fort, there is no big problem. In general, the life of Weizhen Fort being besieged is not too sad. Every day, in addition to sending people to closely monitor the movements of the Tartars, the white-clothed army also carried out normal training.

In order to stimulate morale, Xu Xingxia asked someone to make a Cuju and lead everyone to play football according to the rules of modern football. Aren’t the Tartars going to be besieged? Let’s play Cuju! One month is just a World Cup final cycle, so let’s have a Weizhenbao World Cup.

The Cuju sport has been very popular with the army since the Tang and Song dynasties. However, ordinary military households have no intention of playing Cuju. But now they are different. They have white rice and white noodles and enough meat to eat every day. Their interest in Cuju is naturally much stronger.

Every afternoon, Xu Xingxia would hold a football match at the Shagu Site. The participating teams can be organized by the official or organized by the military households themselves. There are even adult teams, youth teams and youth teams. Dongzi participated in the youth team. At this time, it was also the most lively time in Weizhen Fort, and every household rushed to the vicinity of the Shagu Site to watch. When you were fascinated, you could even forget the fact that the Tartars besieged.

Those white-clothed soldiers who were responsible for monitoring the movements of the Tartars on the city walls do not have to worry about missing out on the good show. They can also see the fierce struggles on the gulf field on the high city walls. Whenever Cuju is shot into the goal, there will be loud cheers in the city. People with excessive energy seem to use their roars to vent their extra energy.

"What happened in Weizhen Fort?"

Whenever he heard the cheers from Weizhen Fort, Sobude would walk out of the camp with suspicion on his face, raise his hand and hold his forehead, and look at the direction of Weizhen Fort Gate. What he most hoped for was the military households in Weizhen Fort, who killed Xu Xingxia and took the initiative to surrender. Even if he didn't open the door to surrender, as long as Xu Xingxia's head was thrown out, Sobude would achieve his goal.

Unfortunately, cheers came every day, but they didn't wait for Xu Xingxia's head every day. However, the cheers from the fort made many Tatar cavalry feel a little dejected. Listening to the sound, the morale of the defenders in the city did not decrease at all. The purpose of the siege was obviously not achieved. What will happen in the end of this battle? It is hard to say now. Thinking of Xu Xingxia's perverted archery skills, some Tatars have already begun to retreat.

"Xu Xingxia, you are not doing your job properly! You should hurry up and train the white-clothed army to improve their combat effectiveness, instead of taking them to play Cuju all day long. You are giving up on yourself!" Zhu Hengzhi said to Xu Xingxia with frown.

"What do you know as a girl? When you are besieged, morale is more important than combat effectiveness. Without morale, where can you get combat effectiveness? After training all day, morale will only get lower and lower! Humph! Pretend to understand if you don't know!" Xu Xingxia said casually. He had preconceived thoughts, thinking that Taoist Tang Chen was pretending, and even thinking that Zhu Hengzhi was also pretending. What he hated the most was the person who pretended to behave. He had no scruples when he spoke. After a while, he was completely criticizing the other party.

"You are the girl! You don't know how to pretend to understand!" Zhu Hengzhi said with a frown. Every time she was unhappy, her eyebrows would frown, which was the most obvious feature. Xu Xingxia has become accustomed to her characteristics and completely ignores them. Although Zhu Hengzhi is sometimes very unhappy and wants to refute her, she really wants to lose her temper, but she can't. She had to comfort herself. She was angry with a rough person like Xu Xingxia and lost her identity, so she should forget it.

I guess she didn't understand why this strange mentality was. If others had annoyed her like this in the past, she would have wanted the other party to be nice. But Xu Xingxia... Hey, he was indeed a freak, a rough man, but some of his behavior made her feel very fresh. From time to time, she wanted to talk to him and see what strange things were there. This contradictory mentality made her unable to help but give in and retreat in the dispute between the two.

Xu Xingxia suddenly said with great enthusiasm: "How about I teach you how to play Cuju?"

Zhu Hengzhi frowned and said, "I don't want it. Such a rude exercise is not suitable for me!"

Xu Xingxia smiled and said, "Tsk! Cuju is the most elegant sport. How can you go against rudeness? You girls can also be gentler! Anyway, you have so much time, don't read books all day and sit still for a day, which is not good for your health. I said, you might as well organize a women's Cuju team, and I will give priority to your competition! I can guarantee that every time you play, the number of spectators is definitely the largest..."

Zhu Hengzhi ignored his crazy words and said in a staggered manner: "Hey, I said, when will the reinforcements arrive? How many days have they been? It's been at least seven or eight days, right? Why are the reinforcements still not moving at all? Don't you really don't come?"

Xu Xingxia casually said, "Are you really stupid or fake? How could reinforcements arrive so soon? Wait slowly!"
