Chapter 500: The Iron Bull Attacks
Tieniu didn't know what happened in Yingqing Pass. Since leaving Jiang County while the night was dark, he began to take a long way and kill towards Yun County.
Although the mountain roads are well connected, there are still huge differences between main roads and small roads.
The main road can transport large trucks of goods and marching and fighting more calmly.
It is very troublesome to transport food on the small road. Moreover, because the road is long, it is difficult to replenish food.
Not to mention heavy siege equipment.
Puguli was in charge of Yingqing Pass again, with sufficient soldiers and sufficient food.
If someone is sent to harass the grain route, everything will be done.
Therefore, Yingqing Pass is not impossible to bypass, but the risk of bypassing is extremely high.
Unless it can be taken away in an instant, one of the three counties, Yunxian, Chongxian and Yaxian, as its foothold.
But without heavy siege equipment, siege is a fantasy.
Tienniu didn't bring much food this time, and the supplies were only at the minimum level. If Yunxian was a trap, the probability of him being able to come back safely was extremely low.
Soldiers are very fast.
The marching speed of the iron giant is very fast.
night.
The stars shine brightly, and the bright moon is in the sky.
Under the banner of the "Iron" character.
Tie Niu held a horse lance in his hand and drove a black horse, shouting loudly: "Start up, brothers, speed up. We must arrive in Yun County before dawn and set up camp."
As Tienniu's order was conveyed, although the two thousand-house soldiers were very tired, they still gritted their teeth and accelerated their speed.
In this situation where soldiers are very fast.
The men led by Tie Niu finally arrived outside Yun County before dawn. A solid camp was built in the south of the city.
In front of the Central Army's tent, Tie Niu held the hilt of the knife at his waist with his left hand, held his head and chest up, looking forward, Yun County City.
"The rest is waiting. Let's see what Zhao Yanting has done." Tie Niu said in his heart.
At that time, Zhao Yanting just said that he would help Wu Nian capture Yuncheng. However, Zhao Yanting did not say how to capture it. After that, the two sides did not contact each other again.
Contact is also risky.
As the saying goes.
If you plan something in a secret way, you will lose your body.
This kind of dedication to the city can only be done temporarily.
"oh!!!!"
Last night.
When Tienniu built the camp, the movements of soldiers were very small. Although the guards were very strict in Yun County, they could not hear any movement.
When the roosters dawned and after dawn, the soldiers were planning to change shifts, they found that a large camp had been set up outside the city.
In a horror, the soldiers immediately canceled their daily routine of opening the city gate. Some soldiers immediately stepped down from the city wall, entered the military hall, and reported the situation.
Currently, the garrison of Yun County has four thousand commanders.
One Mongol Yuan Qiang is the main force, and three Han people, thousands of households, thousands of officials are the auxiliary force. Currently, the troops of the three Han people, thousands of officials are divided into four divisions, guarding the east, south, north, and west of the city.
The troops of the thousand-captain of the Mongol Yuan were in the center of the city as a backup plan.
This kind of military deployment is not wrong, but it can only be said to be in a proper way.
Zhao Yanting, the centurion, was in the military house in the east of the city. Once Wu Nian launched an attack, the army would definitely come from the south.
The south of the city is the first to bear the brunt.
But Zhao Yanting is a smart person. He knew that by then, the vigilance in the south of the city would definitely be very strict. On the other three sides, the vigilance would be looser and easier to operate.
With the energy of the Zhao family, it is easy to send him into the military house in the east of the city.
“Oh oh oh!”
Zhao Yanting got up early, washed up, left the bedroom, came to the cafeteria, and fed with the soldiers.
Although they were making meals together, Zhao Yanting’s food was different from that of ordinary soldiers.
The Mongols and Yuan people treated the soldiers of thousands of Han people. After all, at a critical moment, they still needed soldiers of thousands of Han people to defend the city.
Just like at breakfast today, the soldiers saw oil and water, and each of them got a few slices of meat.
Zhao Yanting had a lot of appetite. He made three big bowls of rice by himself, including pickled radish, pickled vegetables, five boiled eggs, a large bowl of braised pork, and a large bowl of mutton soup.
After the ordinary soldier fought, he found a place to squat down and could eat. Zhao Yanting sat down, and the slaves arranged the food and started eating slowly.
He ate very quickly, but calmly.
"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"
Just as Zhao Yanting was halfway through, the sound of a big drum of cowhide sounded. The soldiers were either ready to eat or were about to finish it, but they all left the cafeteria immediately and hurried back to get weapons or wear armor.
Very well-trained.
The Mongols and Yuan people have been south for many years, and the Han soldiers are all very elite.
Zhao Yanting's eyes flashed with a flash, but he did not move, but continued to eat. Until a hundred households walked in in armor, saw Zhao Yanting, they grinned and said, "Mr. Zhao. You are still there."
What a big deal happened.”
"What's the matter?" Zhao Yanting had finished eating at this time, took out his handkerchief, wiped his mouth, and raised his eyes and asked.
These hundred households are called Xu Zhinian, and they have no background. They are very polite to Zhao Yanting, who is a wealthy family in the county. They are not angry when they see Zhao Yanting like this. Instead, they patiently explained: "Last night, the south of the city was built quietly.
A military camp.”
"The spy went out and took a look. The flag was "iron". It is likely that it was the captain of Wu Nian's command [Iron Niu]. Judging from the size of the military camp, the strength was either two thousand households or three thousand households."
"The superiors sent orders to strengthen our guard."
After Zhao Yanting finished wiping his mouth, he handed the handkerchief to the slave standing beside him. He showed disdain on his face and said with a smile: "Eight major captains under Wu Nian's command should not be underestimated. But calculations
In a moment, Tieniu can get from Jiang County so quickly and take a small road to Yun County."
"What kind of siege equipment can he have? What kind of supplies and food can he have? As long as we are careful and don't lose our own way, he will not be able to conquer us."
"Xu Baihu. Relax."
Xu Zhinian was indeed under a lot of pressure. After hearing Zhao Yanting's words, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, showed a smile on his face, nodded and clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Lord Zhao, for your advice."
"However, the orders issued by the superiors are also extraordinary. The Mongolian Yuan people were ruthless in implementing military laws. Lord Zhao, you should hurry up."
"Okay." Zhao Yanting nodded.
Xu Zhinian quickly turned around and left. Zhao Yanting slowly stood up and took his slave back to his bedroom. He put on his armor, hung a steel knife, and led his 100th number under his command.
People are on standby in the military.
"When autumn comes, September 8th, I will kill all the flowers when the flowers bloom."
"It's time for me, Zhao Yanting, to go to the front desk."
