In the late Ming Dynasty, rising from the grassland

Chapter 87 Girls are more reliable than young women
It was already evening when Lin Rui led the army to Banbidian Baihu Fort.

Military households nearby who got the news were also coming in a steady stream. In a short time, the entire Banbidian Fort was surrounded.

Obviously they are all here to fish in troubled waters and share food.

If you ask these military households to take the lead in killing officials and rebelling, it is estimated that no one will dare to stand up. However, if there are people who dare to rebel and have good strength, then each one of them will be more active than anyone else.

But now, the military households nearby are no longer afraid of Lin Rui and the others in a few days, and almost all have moved back from the mountains.

After all, the Tatars will not distribute food to them, let alone say how much settlement allowance they will give them.

So on the way, Lin Rui just sent some soldiers to ride on horseback to nearby villages. He informed them that they were going to attack Banbidian Fort and kill hundreds of households. They all rushed over like running for their lives, and they all came with their families, the old and the young. That kind of thing.

Obviously everyone has heard that these horse bandits distribute food according to head.

In this situation, there is almost no need to shout or engage in psychological warfare. The ordinary military households who had hid in the fort earlier knew what was going on. If the fort gate was not blocked, they would probably have to open the fort gate directly.

The hundreds of households in the city were so frightened that they wanted to spend some money and food to ward off the disaster, but Lin Rui didn't bother to talk to him at all. After shouting a few words to the military households who came over, he Directly launched an attack.

The result is self-evident, it is easier than fighting a monolithic castle.

Before they could even reach the bottom of the wall, the military households at the top of the wall ran away and sold hundreds of households and dozens of servants.

The hundred households in Banbidian and his servants were also crying without tears. They stopped the military household from escaping, and the strongman under the wall climbed up again.

Resisting the strong men under the wall, the escaped military households rushed to the government hall to kill their families. Surrendering was also death, and there was no way to escape. There was really no way to heaven and no way to earth.

After capturing half of the store's security, it was already dark, and Lin Rui didn't waste any time.

Whether they came from nearby or the military households in the fort, they were given ten kilograms of food per head, and then let them go directly and hid in the mountains overnight.

"Everyone, don't go home. The Jurchen Tatars are coming here to kill them. They will arrive tomorrow. Those who want to survive must hide in the mountains."

"Sir, we are willing to stay and guard the fort with you."

"Yes, sir, let us stay, I have plenty of strength!"

After dividing the food, they heard that the Jurchen Tatars were coming to kill them. Some people left in a hurry, while others stayed and wanted to escape into the city.

"No, the castle is too small. We have too many war horses to accommodate so many people. Leave quickly..."

"If you don't leave, I will let those Mongolians shoot arrows!"

Lin Rui saw that despite his good words, they still refused to leave, so he lost his temper and began to threaten them fiercely.

Sure enough, they saw that the Mongols on the top of the city opened their bows and aimed at them. The hundreds of military households surrounding the city gate were so frightened that they immediately dispersed and did not dare to say a word.

Lin Rui then left Hubbell and Zhou Meng to guard the fort.

Similarly, only a thousand Mongolians and 150 new veterans were left for the two of them. He himself took the remaining two thousand Mongolian cavalry and [-] new and old Han soldiers, and crossed the river overnight to kill Pine Tree Fort, thirty miles away to the west. .

In order to prevent the Pine Tree Castle from being broken in time, more than 5000 war horses were left in Dushi Castle and Banbidian Castle, each with a full [-] horses, filling the small castle to the brim.

And he himself only brought the last [-] horses. If the Jurchens came to kill him and the Pine Tree Castle was not broken, then he would just abandon the horses and hide in the mountains with his people, which would also reduce the losses. To the minimum.

Holding torches all the way, it was already midnight when they arrived at Pine Fort. Seeing the tight defense on the fort wall, Lin Rui did not attack overnight or make a sneak attack, but planned to wait until dawn.

After all, you can't see clearly at night, and it is easy to scare the ordinary military households in the city, and maybe it will arouse their desperate resistance, so it is better to attack openly and openly during the day.

After dawn, he still shouted to the wall first to break the fighting spirit of ordinary military households. Time was limited. This time, Lin Rui did not go to nearby villages to notify the military households, but chose to attack directly.Although the casualties were somewhat heavy, with more than [-] new and old soldiers combined, they were finally successfully captured.

At this time, Hauge also came with a mighty army to kill.

"Report to the prince, all those horse bandits have hid in the nearby castle, and all the villages are deserted."

"What? In a short period of time, they actually broke through several hundred-house forts?"

After listening to Tan Ma's report, Hauge was a little surprised. Even if they wanted to break into a hundred-house fort, it would not be easy.

"Your Majesty, these horse bandits have actually hid in the castle. I'm afraid there's nothing we can do to capture them at the moment. It's better to capture some Han slaves and craftsmen first and then attack those castles."

"Yes, my lord!"

"Do you really think that the Ming army is all lambs? Haven't you seen the terrain around here? There are mountains on three sides. If we stay here for too long and let the Ming army know the truth, they might come from the south. At that time, we will have no choice but to return to the grassland from the Monolith Castle."

Although Hauge is arrogant, he is not stupid. He understands that this is not suitable for cavalry fighting and is not a place to stay for a long time.

So after breaking through the border at Zhangjiakou, I almost didn’t stop all the way and rushed straight to the place. Who would have thought that it would be too late.

Thinking of this, Hauge was so angry that he yelled: "These damn horse bandits make me angry!"

After scolding, he led the army directly towards Banbidian Fort. When he arrived at the foot of the fort, Hauge did not choose to attack by force, but was preparing to try to surrender.

"Mongolian brothers inside, we are one family. Stop working for those cowardly Han people. As long as you open the city gate and surrender to me, the Qing Dynasty, my prince will not treat you badly!"

"My Mongolian brothers inside, I am also from the Chahar tribe. As a Mongolian man, I should be galloping on my horse, instead of cowering in the castle like those cowardly Han people..."

"Come out, kill all the Han people around you, and then follow us to Datong, to Shuozhou, and rob them all. There are a lot of women, food and property there. My prince has said that whoever robs them will get it. Turn it in…”

It has to be said that as the Mongolian cavalry outside the city continued to shout and confuse, the Mongolian teenagers in the castle were really shaken.

Zhou Meng and other more than 100 Han soldiers finally understood the feelings of the hundreds of households and servants, and they were all frightened to the point of breaking out in cold sweat.

Fortunately, Ha Beier was at the beginning of her love life as a young girl, so she didn't have as many thoughts as Na Mu Zhong. It can be said that now her whole mind was tied to her lover, and she was not shaken at all. She immediately stood up and said loudly:

"Don't listen to their nonsense. They are all traitors to our Mongolian people. They are scum who are willing to be treated like dogs by the Jurchens. We are the descendants of Genghis Khan and the eagles on the grassland. We will never surrender to the lowly and barbaric Jurchens!"

"Yes! Under the leadership of the Queen Khan and the Young Master, we will fight for the great cause of reviving the Chahar tribe and unifying Mongolia!"

"Women's wealth and other things will be available in the future. The Jurchens cannot give us the title of Caochang, but the Khan Queen can!"

"Never surrender to the Jurchens!"

"We chose to follow the Khan Queen for the great cause of unifying Mongolia. How can we surrender to the Jurchens now?"

Hubbell's reputation is still very high, which made the Mongolian teenagers who were a little shaken once again strengthen their determination and echoed loudly.

After trying to persuade them to surrender to no avail, Haug had no choice but to lead his army to the Monument Castle.

Compared to Hubbell, Namu Zhong's reputation goes without saying, and she also refused Hauge's surrender without hesitation.

She is not stupid. She has already arrived in the Ming Dynasty. Even if she wanted to submit, she would only submit to the Han emperor. How could she submit to a mere Jurchen general?
When he surrendered to Dorgon in Hetao, he had no choice but to surrender because he had no other choice.

After the recruitment failed again, Hauge was too lazy to go to Pine Castle further away. He also had a huge headache for a while.
