Chapter 199 Gatekeeper
This time, Ah Shu brought a thousand-man team to explore the Red Army, which was not considered full, more than 900 Mongolian soldiers.In addition, there are Dali miscellaneous soldiers and native barbarians captured, totaling more than [-] people.

He has a lot of horses, so he has enough luggage, and he camps on the cattle village, and the food and grass can last for more than half a month.

Facing this small patrol city, it is of course possible to make siege equipment to attack by force, but it is not necessary, because he is Wuliang and Ashu, and he is best at outflanking and leaping.

Since the Southern Expedition, the most commonly used word in his battle report is "ravage", trampling Dali, trampling Baiman, trampling Wuman, invincible and invincible.

That night, Ashu sent the centurion Hai Rigu to attack the Tuo Shanzhai to attract the Song army, and at the same time sent the centurion Bao Lide to dive into Hengzi Mountain and jump into Xunsiguan City.

He personally led more than a thousand people to send troops overnight, preparing to break through.

On the fourth watch, a fire broke out in Tuo Shanzhai.

A Shu walked halfway, saw the flames, and the night wind blew, and the sound of fighting on the pass city was blown to his ears far away.

The timing was right and the plan went well.

Just wait for Bao Lide to open the city gate.

"It's done!"

The centurion named "Jeda" was overjoyed, he drove his horse to A Shu's side, and said, "It seems that Bao Lide has jumped into the city, and the city gate is about to open."

Ashu grinned. He was calm when he deployed his strategy, but now he looked very manic.

"Kill them all! Walk out five feet, kill!"

The faster the Mongolian army marched, the patrol city of Guancheng gradually appeared in front of us.

The fighting is still ringing, but the city gate has not yet been opened.

Jidal believed in the reins, held on to the bow and prepared to fight, then laughed and cursed again.

"Baolide is addicted to killing, open the door first, spit..."

~~
That night, Li Xia slept in armor.

In the middle of the night, he suddenly woke up with a start when he heard a scream, and limped towards the tower.

After leaving the house, he saw figures leaping from Hengzi Mountain into Guancheng from a distance.

Li Xia only took one look and quickened his pace.

Just arrived at the tower, only to see Wu Tong wearing only a jacket, and ran out with a few soldiers in a panic.

"It's not good! The Mongolian army has entered the customs, let's go!" Wu Tong said quickly, "Let's go! What are you doing standing there?!"

He didn't wear a helmet, his hair was messy, and there were red marks on his face. He had obviously just woken up.

"Quick! Quick! Quick... it's over, it's over... let's go, let's go, don't stand stupidly, hurry..."

Li Xia was standing there, waiting for Wu Tong to rush to the front, and suddenly made a move, picking up Wu Tong's collar.

"Oh!"

Wu Tong was startled when Li Xia pressed him against the wall.

"You! Hurry up and let go, go, go..."

"What are you panicking about?" Li Xia said, "Hengshan Village was pulled up without a sound. It can be seen that the Mongolian army has a maximum of more than a hundred people. Don't panic and hold it."

"Shout your mother! The Mongolian army has entered the customs..."

With a "slap", Li Xia slapped Wu Tong.

This slap was not heavy, but it directly slapped Wu Tong in a daze.

"You hit me? You hit me..."

"What about the clothes?"

"What did you say?"

"Hurry up and put on your clothes and go to the tower to command."

~~
Bayin jumped to the top of the wall and stretched his numb feet.

There is a fight on the top of the city, and more than [-] Mongolian soldiers have been fighting with the Zhai soldiers.

From time to time, there was the sound of "swish" arrows, and Mo Zhigen and others were shooting arrows at the top of the city on the mountain.They are condescending and hidden in the dark. They can shoot the soldiers of the village, but the soldiers of the village can't shoot them.

The archery skills of the soldiers in the village are not weak, but with the Hengshan village pulled up, the advantage of the terrain has changed.

"Open the door first!" Bayin shouted, leading the people to run down the city.

He knew that the most important thing right now was not to kill how many soldiers in the village, but to open the door and let General Ashu in.

Occasionally, soldiers from the village came up to kill them, and they seemed very panicked.As soon as the two sides met, Meng Zu held his bow and shot, directly shooting the other side down.

Bayin strode forward and chopped down two helpless soldiers.

In Guancheng, a group of soldiers were still gathering, and it was too late to rush forward.

He ran quickly, and when he turned a corner, the gate of Guancheng was already in front of him.

"Quick! Open the door!"

Bayin was overjoyed, only felt that the first victory of this battle had been achieved.

The next moment, he was stunned for a moment.

I saw more than forty Song soldiers standing in front of the city gate.

"This... so much?"

~~
Mao Yi'er stood up with the knife in hand, looking at Bayin who was running towards him in the dark, feeling a little dazed.

In fact, he didn't quite understand why Captain Li asked them to help guard the city gate. He felt that there were soldiers guarding the city, so why bother?

Now, the Mongolian army has really attacked.

At this moment, Mao Yi'er first thought "the county lieutenant knows things like a god", but soon felt flustered.

This is not like the battle in Yanfanggou, when the Mongolian army was ambushed and led by county lieutenants and squad leaders; tonight it was ambushed by the Mongolian army.

But before he had time to think about it, Meng Zuo on the opposite side had already roared.

"kill!"

Arrows shot.

Someone drew a knife and rushed...

~~
Li Xia took Wu Tong's collar and walked up the tower.

He divided the [-] river patrolmen under his command into three shifts, who took turns guarding the city gate.

It's not about predicting things like a god, but being cautious and just in case.

Although he was worried that the city gate would fall, Li Xia still trusted them.

From mid-September to the end of October now, it has been nearly a month and a half to prepare for the construction of Xunjiang.

High-intensity training and marching may not make them elite soldiers, but they can make them obedient.

There were only three hundred river patrollers in total, and Li Xia had been with each of them day and night, knowing their names, personalities, and knowing that they respected him.

Li Xia also understood their abilities, and he also estimated the scope of their abilities when giving orders.

For example, in the Battle of Yanfanggou, at first glance, it is unlikely that recruits will ambush old Mongolian soldiers.

But in fact, nearly 200 river patrolmen fought against three or 40 soldiers. Li Xia tried his best to make five or six river patrolmen face one Mongolian soldier.

He tried his best to find a favorable small battlefield in an unfavorable large battlefield, so that his men could deal with the enemy in an advantageous environment...

"Quick! Tell all the soldiers in the village." Li Xia said to Wu Tongdao, "You have expected the Mongolian army to attack tonight and arranged an ambush."

"But...but I didn't..."

"quick."

"Boom!" The battle drum sounded, and a river patrolman was already standing on the tower to beat the drum.

Li Xia held Wu Tong down and pressed his body against the railing, almost pushing him down.

"Say! An ambush has been set up in Guancheng. The Mongolian army has a maximum of one hundred people, and we have more than four hundred people. We will surround and wipe them out..."

~~
"puff!"

The arrow nailed a river patrolman to death, and the blood flowed on Mao Yi'er's face.

"A water!"

Mao Yi'er cried out in grief.

More than a dozen soldiers from the village around him were also shooting arrows at the Mongolian army.

The leading Miao village soldier was named "Hai Jinliu". He was the one who shot the flagpole with an arrow when Li Xia first arrived at the patrol. He could speak Chinese and had been chatting with Mao Yi'er all night.

Hai Jinliu was somewhat brave, and he was not afraid to face the Mongolian soldiers. After shooting two arrows in a row, he drew his sword and went straight up.

Mao Yi'er hadn't reacted yet, because he didn't receive the order, he didn't know what to do for a while.

Guancheng was in a mess, except for Hai Jinliu and the others on duty, the soldiers from other places hadn't realized that they should come for reinforcements.

And Meng Zu has rushed over.

Short knives met, and the fight started beside the city gate.

"Boom! Boom! Boom..."

Suddenly, the sound of drums echoed in Guancheng.

Mao Yi'er only heard voices coming from the city tower.

"Meng Zu has been ambushed, kill..."

At the same time, Bao San's roar sounded from the top of the wall.

"Mao Yi'er, you bastard! Hold on tight! I'll be there soon..."

~~
"Open the door!" Bayin yelled.

He slashed down with a knife, and then split open another soldier, and the gate of the closed city was right in front of him.

"Tiger!"

A knife suddenly slashed in front of Bayin, it was Mao Yi'er who finally came to his senses.

"Kill!"

"Hold on..."
