On the first day of fighting, Fort Weizhen did not stand a severe test. In the face of Xu Xingxia's strong archery skills, Tartar wisely chose to suspend the attack. It is not known when the next attack of the Tartars will be launched. So, for the time being, Fort Wiezhen is safe. Finding that the Tatar cavalry had retreated, the defenders of Weizhen Fort were relieved.

"Tartar...... Retreated like that? Chi Hu said in disbelief.

"The Tartars don't want to pay too many casualties." Xu Xingxia said calmly.

"It's finally been a day." Mao Thirteen interjected with emotion.

The other white-clothed soldiers, after the Tartars retreated, also flocked to Xu Xingxia's side. They all knew very well that the reason why the Tartars retreated was completely repelled by Xu Xingxia alone. The Tatar cavalry was shot dead by Xu Xingxia, and the others felt bad and had to retreat obediently. It's really a one-man affair, and it's not open!

This made the white-clothed sergeant a little more confident in the victory of the battle. With a master like Xu Xingxia in charge, even if a large number of Tartars poured up, Weizhen Fort would not be easily defeated. If the victory can be achieved in the end, Weizhen Fort will definitely be famous all over the world. And they will also become the world's attention to the battle heroes.

In other words, in Ningxia Town, there has been no powerful character for a long time. If this time the Tatar cavalry marched south, did not achieve their goal, but made the fort famous, they would have been a blessing in disguise. If they are fortunate enough to be commended by the imperial court, or even to receive the attention of the emperor, the future of each of them will be splendid.

"The personnel who left the guard, everyone else, rest early!" After inspecting the city wall, Xu Xingxia issued an order to disband. The white-clothed sergeants who had been nervous for a day, as well as the ordinary strong men, all left the city wall one after another and went back to eat and rest. Xu Xingxia himself also returned to the barracks and buried himself in eating.

On the first night, the five white-clothed soldiers led by Mao 13 were on duty, as well as the twenty-five strong men who followed the battle. They are distributed in all directions of the city walls. In addition to fixed posts, Xu Xingxia also arranged mobile posts and lurking posts, as well as patrols. This is all from the military books, in order to prevent any accidents. A lot of torches were also lit on the walls of Weizhen Fort, which illuminated the surrounding fields very brightly. If the Tatar cavalry wanted to sneak attack, it was basically impossible.

That night, Fort Willtown seemed relatively calm. The defenders, who had been nervous for a day, all fell asleep. After a few hours of suffering, most people's nervous psychology has calmed down. Most of the military households were able to face the fact of the arrival of the Tartars relatively calmly. More people plucked up courage and prepared to fight the Tartars. In fact, breaking the city is definitely a dead end, and only by desperately resisting can there be a chance to live.

...... "Damn it! ”

"We were too optimistic!"

Of course, there are people who are not in a calm mood. Paro Court and Sobud's mood was very uneasy. The battle during the day gave the two of them a great shock. Both of them had to painfully change their previous optimistic thoughts, racking their brains to think about what they had to do in order to take down Weizhenbao and get rid of that damn Xu Xingxia!

How to avoid Xu Xingxia's sharp arrows is the most critical issue. This kind of demonic archers have reached the point where thousands of people are against thousands of enemies, and they are not at all something that a small number of Tatar cavalry can deal with. As long as Xu Xingxia was on the city wall, the Tatars would have to pay a terrible price if they wanted to get close to Weizhen Fort.

Thinking of the possible price, the minds of the two of them were even more painful. They really want to kill Xu Xingxia, yes, they really want to take Weizhen Fort. However, the price is too great for them to afford. If you have to pay the price of hundreds of people to kill Xu Xingxia, it will be too much of a loss. The gains outweigh the losses!

The Kylkin tribe is only a small Tatar tribe, and if the tribe wants to survive and develop, it must always pay attention to the ratio between the benefits and the costs. If you pay a certain price, you must get a certain benefit. Only actions that have no benefit from paying, or actions that have a huge cost but not much benefit, must be prohibited.

In other words, it is to eliminate Xu Xingxia and let the strength of his tribe suffer a heavy blow, which is absolutely not good. The price to be paid for eliminating Xu Xingxia must be controlled within a proportion. Let's say, a hundred, or a hundred and fifty. Once you exceed this value, you have to think twice. If the entire thousand-man team were involved, it was estimated that Helekin would cut both of them at once.

To put it bluntly, the current mortal enemy of the Kylekin tribe is actually not the Han Chinese, but the Tumut tribe in the east, the man named Lin Dan Khan. No matter how strong Xu Xingxia's ability is, he can only be in a passive defensive posture at present, and he cannot cause fatal damage to the Helkin tribe. It is estimated that in the next few years, Xu Xingxia will not pose a mortal threat to the Kellerjin tribe. However, Lin Dan Khan is different.

As the great leader of the powerful Tumut tribe, Lin Dan Khan's power is getting stronger and stronger, and he has the potential to occupy the area south of Yinshan. Once the Hellerkin tribe is defeated, they will either be wiped out or flee elsewhere. The best outcome is to be expelled. However, if the Helkin tribe is expelled from the south of Yinshan, it may not be easy to find another place to live. Other Tatar tribes are not bodhisattvas!

Paro Pavilion thought about it, but he couldn't think of any good way. If Xu Xingxia came out of the city, he could besiege the other party, and he would be tired to death. However, with the barrier of Weizhen Fort, it was indeed very difficult for him to embarrass Xu Xingxia. He had no choice but to say to Sobud: "Prince, what do you suggest?" ”

Sobud smiled bitterly and said, "No." ”

Paro Ge frowned and said, "Shall we continue to attack?" ”

Sobud didn't respond, his brow furrowed. Indeed, whether to continue the offensive or not is a headache. The fighting during the day showed that if they continued to attack, they would definitely pay a greater price. However, if you don't continue to attack, you won't be able to catch Xu Xingxia. If you can't catch Xu Xingxia, it means that you went south this time and did it in vain.

How to choose is indeed a very fatal question. Of course, Sobud couldn't wait to catch Xu Xingxia and tear him 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 a little hesitant.

Paro Ge frowned and said, "Or, let's wait a few more days?" ”

Sobud frowned and said, "How long can we wait?" ”

Paro Ge said cautiously: "The other Ming troops in Ningxia Town have no combat effectiveness, and they don't dare to go out of the city easily. In this way, I will take five hundred cavalry archers to guard the surroundings and deter the Ming army in other places, so as to ensure that you have half a month to attack the city, what do you think? ”

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

He immediately ordered the Tatar cavalry to halt their all-out assault and instead besiege the fort of Weizhen. The Tatar cavalry scattered and swam in all directions, and the fort of Weizhen was firmly blocked. He felt that as long as he besieged Weizhen Fort for half a month, the defenders in Weizhen Fort would be exhausted. It is impossible for the small Weizhen Fort to last for half a month.

The battle started very quickly, but ended very suddenly. The people who thought that the first day of the battle would be very bloody were shocked. But that's fine, if the first day of the battle is too bloody, I'm afraid that ordinary military households can't accept it at all. Everyone needs an adaptation process.

After a peaceful night, the Tatar cavalry did not make any attacks or sneak attacks. The next day, throughout the day, the Tatar cavalry did not move at all. For the next few days, the battalion of the Tatar cavalry, despite the constant movement of people to and fro and the constant sound of horses' hooves, never launched an attack on Fort Weizhen. Xu Xingxia then understood that this was the time when the Tatar cavalry was going to besiege Weizhen Fort and wait for the time to attack again.

For the Tatar cavalry, the siege was indeed a good strategy. Since it is impossible to attack directly, then besiege, through the siege, the morale and combat effectiveness of the defenders are constantly declining. When the combat effectiveness and morale of the defenders have dropped to the bottom, the possibility of the Tatars launching another onslaught and breaking the city in one fell swoop is still very large.

In fact, if Xu Xingxia didn't have enough food in his hands, he would definitely be restless now. I believe that the military households below have also seen their hearts fluctuate. People who don't have food will definitely grab food everywhere. Murder and arson are commonplace. In order to suppress the chaos, it is necessary to use the army. The army will inevitably clash with the population. Once such a situation occurs, it will not be far from the city being breached.

Now, of course, it's a different story. Now Fort Weizhen has sufficient grain reserves. The Steward also has enough power to control most of the military households in the city. The medicine provided by the doctor, Lao Dong, can also solve the usual diseases. The white-clothed army can also effectively maintain law and order in the city, and any behavior of exterminating criminals will be severely punished.

Except for not being able to go outside Weizhen Fort, during the siege of the Tartars, the lives of the military families basically did not change much. Fort Weizhen has enough food to last almost a month, and the people are not worried about any major problems caused by the lack of food. On the contrary, in order not to leave food for the tartars, everyone can eat as much as they can, and it is easy not to save. Because, if you don't eat it now, you may not have to eat it in the future.

Military families with livestock slaughtered almost every day, eating some of the meat themselves and selling some of the meat to others. The same is true for food. Good things can't be left to the Tartars. I'd rather eat it all myself than leave a penny for the tartars. As a result, during the period of siege, the interior of Weizhen Fort was constantly eating meat, which was a bit like the New Year in advance.

Wang Qinian's grocery store is still open as usual, and there are still quite a lot of customers. A lot of the goods this guy has hoarded have been emptied this evening. In the past, the military households were tight, and every copper plate was hidden to death, and they were easily reluctant to take it out and use it. But now, they're all out. Because, if you don't use it now, in case the Tartars break the city, then give the Tartars as trophies.

Zhu Zhizhi's teahouse is also open as usual, opening on time every morning and closing on time every evening. However, no guests came to the door. Even during the siege, the soldiers did not have the resources to drink tea. The price of a pot of ordinary tea can buy two or three catties of meat, how is this account cost-effective, the military households are clear.

The weather in May is not particularly hot. Temperatures are especially pleasant in the early morning and evening. Even if you don't leave Fort Wietown, it's not a big problem. In general, the life under siege of Fort Weizhen was not too sad. Every day in Weizhenbao, 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 made people make a juju, according to the rules of modern football, leading everyone to play football. Aren't the Tartars going to be besieged? Let's play Kemari! A month's time is just a World Cup final cycle, let's also have a Weizhenbao World Cup.

The sport of Keju has been very popular with the army since the Tang and Song dynasties. It's just that ordinary military households are poorly clothed and hungry, so they naturally don't have any heart to play Keju. But now it's different. With white rice and white noodles to eat, and enough meat to eat every day, their interest in Kemari is naturally much stronger.

Every afternoon, Xu Xingxia would hold a football match in the barnyard. The participating teams can be officially organized or organized by the military households themselves. There are even senior teams, youth teams, and junior teams. Fuyuko joined the junior team. At this time, it is also the most lively time for Weizhen Fort, and every family flocks to the vicinity of the barn floor to watch. When you look at it, you can even forget the fact that the Tartars are besieging the city.

The white-clad sergeants who were in charge of monitoring the movements of the Tartars on the city walls did not have to worry about missing the show. They were on the high city wall, and they could also see the fierce struggle on the threshing floor. Whenever Kemari was shot into the goal, the castle and the castle would cheer loudly. People with excess energy seem to want to use their own yelling to vent their excess energy.

"What's going on inside Fort Wytown?"

Whenever he heard the cheers coming from inside Fort Weizhen, Sobud would walk out of the tent with a suspicious face, raise his hand on his forehead, and look in the direction of Fort Weizhen's gate. What he hoped for the most was that the military households in Weizhen Fort would kill Xu Xingxia and take the initiative to open the door and surrender. Even if he doesn't open the door and surrender, as long as Xu Xingxia's head is thrown out, Sobud will achieve his goal.

It's a pity that there are cheers every day, but they don't wait for Xu Xingxia's head every day. However, the cheers from inside the fort made many Tatar cavalrymen feel a little depressed. Listening to the voice, the morale of the defenders in the city has not decreased at all. The purpose of the siege was clearly not achieved. It's hard to say what the final outcome of this battle will be. Thinking of Xu Xingxia's perverted archery, some Tatars have begun to retreat.

"Xu Xingxia, you are not doing your job! You should hurry up and train the white-clothed army to improve their combat effectiveness, instead of taking them to play Keju all day long. You're giving up on yourself! Zhu Zhizhi frowned at Xu Xingxia and said.

"You are a girl, what do you know? When you are under siege, morale is more important than combat effectiveness. Without morale, where is the combat effectiveness? Train all day and morale will only get lower and lower! Hum! I don't know how to pretend to understand! Xu Xingxia said casually. He had a preconceived idea, feeling that Tang Chen's old way was pretending to be forced, and he also felt that Zhu Zhizhi was also pretending to be forced. What he hates the most is people who pretend to be forced. When he spoke, he didn't have the slightest scruples. No, after a few words, it is completely critical of the other party.

"You're the girl! You don't know how to pretend to understand! Zhu Zhizhi frowned and said. Every time she is upset, her eyebrows furrow, which is the most obvious feature. Xu Xingxia has become accustomed to this characteristic of hers, and completely ignores it. Although Zhu Zhizhi is sometimes very unhappy and wants to refute it, she really wants to lose her temper, but she can't do it. She had no choice but to comfort herself, and she was angry with a rough man like Xu Xingxia, and she had a ** share, so forget it.

This kind of weird psychology, I guess she doesn't understand why. If it had been before, if others had annoyed her like this, she would have wanted the other party to look good. But Xu Xingxia ...... Hey, he's a freak and a rough man, but some of his behaviors make her feel very fresh. Every now and then, she wanted to talk to him and see what was wrong with him. This kind of ambivalence makes her can't help but give in and retreat every time she is in the dispute between the two.

Xu Xingxia suddenly said with great interest: "Why don't I teach you to kick the juju?" ”

Zhu Zhizhi frowned and said: "I don't want it, such a rude exercise is not suitable for me!" ”

Xu Xingxia said with a smile: "Cut!" Kemari is the most elegant sport, how can it be next to rudeness? You girls can also be gentle! Anyway, you have so much time, don't read all day long, sitting still all day is not good for your health. I said, you just organize a women's Keju team, and I'll give priority to your competition! I can guarantee that every time you come on the stage, the number of spectators is definitely the largest......"

Zhu Zhizhi ignored his crazy words, staggered the topic and said, "Hey, I said, when will the reinforcements arrive?" How many days has it been? Seven or eight days, right? Why is there still no movement at all from the reinforcements? Don't you really don't come, right? ”

Xu Xingxia said casually: "Are you really stupid or fake stupid, how could reinforcements come so soon?" Wait for yourself! ”

Zhu Zhizhi frowned and said: "The number of Tartars is only a thousand. You have 70,000 officers and troops in Ningxia Town, can't you help 1,000 Tartars? After so many days of preparation, aren't you ready to go to war? Even 70,000 pigs can run away with a thousand tartars. ”
