Liaodong, Huabao Chong Castle
Arrows covered the sky like a dense and majestic rain. The flames of war charred the muddy ground, and blood and bones painted a tragic color on the battlefield.
The soldiers fought to the death, one after another, just to defend the last line of defense and face death unflinchingly.
"Milord, the sheep and horse wall has been destroyed by the enemy. The enemy has already reached the bottom of the wall!”
"Defend, we must defend!"
Ding Wen, the Thousand Households Official guarding Huabao Chong Castle, shouted with red eyes.
Defend!
He had to defend it!
"Our reinforcements will arrive soon. Before the reinforcements arrive, even if there is only one person left, we have to guard this castle!”
"Yes!"
"Brothers, defend! Reinforcements will be here soon!"
"If one person falls, thousands of Liaodong people will stand up!”
"Kill them!"
When they heard the words " reinforcements will arrive soon ", the Liaodong soldiers, who had been dejected, were rekindled with hope. They charged at the front line without any regard for their lives to block the enemy's charge.
There were only 1,100 people in Hua Bao Chong Fortress, but they had resisted the attack of 5,000 Woduoli Cavalry for two days!
While his soldiers were dying, Ding Wen, the Thousand Households of Huabao Chong Castle, was dead in his heart.
He was lying to these soldiers. There were no reinforcements at all.
Ding Wen knew very well that the reinforcements would not come.
Generals had to submit memorials to the Imperial Court and wait for the Ministry of War to review them. After the Ministry of War discussed the countermeasures, they would report it to the Emperor. Only after the Emperor personally approved it could the army send troops.
This round trip would take at least a month.
Where did the reinforcements come from?
Ding Wen was just lying to his soldiers so that they could defend for a while longer. Although it was meaningless to stall for time, this was the meaning of their existence as soldiers-to sacrifice their lives for the country!
Actually, Ding Wen wasn't the only one who understood this logic. Many people in Huabao Chong Castle understood it as well. However, they were willing to be fools and listen to Ding Wen's words.
They wanted to find a reason for themselves to die.
Stall them and wait for reinforcements!
"Kill them!"
Ding Wen roared angrily, drew his saber from his waist, and personally went into battle!
For Liaodong, go to hell!
This was the fate of every Liaodong soldier!
The Ming army was mighty!
Liaodong is mighty!
……
Oduoli Department, Old Camp
"Nuoyan, the Great Ming army is too crazy. They are advancing wave after wave, and we have no way of attacking them.”
Oduoli tribe's Mingatu reported to Meng Ge Timur. (Mingatu wasn't a name, but the meaning of the head of a thousand households in Mongolian.)）
"The eagles on the grasslands will never stop flying because of a strong wind. All the good boys in our Woduo are eagles.”"How can a mere Hua Bao Chong Fort stop the eagle's attack?" said Meng Ge Timur coldly.”
Mingattu hesitated for a moment and said with a heavy heart,"But…Nuoyan, this is Great Ming's Liaodong. If their army comes to our aid, we will definitely suffer serious damage.”
"Do we still have a way out?"
Meng Ge Timur glanced at him and said,""That bastard Wudi Hada Yimachi forced us to the Amu River and caused us to lose our winter rations. If there is no food, our warriors will starve to death in the cold winter, and our only way to survive is to rob the rich Ming!”
"But…is Big Ming that easy for us to snatch?”Mingatu hesitated.
"Heh, Central Plainsmen are too stupid." "If their army can be like us, sending troops at any time and circling around the world, then of course we won't dare to attack them. However, they were so stupid as to restrict the generals and make the generals guarding the border have to report to the court before they can send troops. By the time their troops were sent over, we would have already grabbed enough food and returned to Amuhe!”
"Since that's the case, let's go ahead and kill and rob!”Mingattu calmed down and grinned.
Great Ming's army was nothing more than this!
……
"Burn!"
The boiling oil was sprinkled down and clung to the Jurchen cavalrymen who were attacking the city like a tarsal bone. They grimaced in pain and wailed as they rolled on the ground.
However, the kerosene could only be used for a moment. Soon, more Jurchen cavalrymen rushed up, overthrew the sheep and horse wall, and headed straight for Hua Baochong Castle!!
"We can't hold on anymore."
Ding Wen, who was guarding Huabao Chong Fort in Liaodong, had a deathly expression. He placed his long knife on his neck and prepared to die for his country.
"This official has let down Great Ming!"
There were only a thousand guards in Hua Bao Chong Fortress. Even though they were determined to fight back, they were still at a disadvantage in the face of the overwhelming numbers.
The enemy had already reached the gatehouse, and the castle was about to fall.
"Take down their castle and rob their rations!”Meng Ge Timur laughed loudly, as if he had already seen victory.
Hua Baochong Castle was isolated and helpless, and the castle was about to fall.
This was a piece of juicy meat that made people envious. After snatching this castle, Woduoli tribe would have food for the winter!
Big Ming, repent for your stupidity!
"Boom!"
All of a sudden, a continuous barrage of artillery fire exploded in the Woduoli cavalry camp, raising billowing black smoke and blowing up the enemy troops!
