Although Jiannu discovered the Ming army's actions immediately, in an era when communication relied on roaring, the adjustment of 40,000 people could not be reversed at once.
On Zhu Wu's side, it was just the opposite. Zhu Wu, who had already known the Tatar retreat formation on the city wall, led 1,000 heavy cavalry to kill directly towards Jiannu's right wing.
The difference from last time was that this time the distance between the two sides was long enough, and the speed of the cavalry led by Zhu Wu had already reached its peak. The huge impact directly tore into pieces the Tatars who had just turned around.
Then, under the leadership of Zhu Wu, 1,000 heavy cavalry rushed towards the south gate of Youtun without looking back.
At this time, there were Tatars who reacted quickly. They had already bent their bows and fired arrows at Zhu Wu's cavalry. However, under the protection of their armor, they did not cause any damage to Zhu Wu's men except for a clanking sound. .
'kill.'
After receiving the order from above, the Tatar coalition forces were divided into four thousand-man troops and went to kill Zhu Wu and the others.
Well-equipped heavy cavalry has strong defense, but its huge load also limits the speed and duration of combat of the heavy cavalry.
On the other hand, although many of the Tatars have armor, they are far from the level of heavy cavalry, so the distance between the two sides is constantly shrinking.
Fortunately, Youtun was not very big, and as the Tatars and other military orders had to wait for a while, the cavalry team led by Zhu Wu quickly arrived near the south city gate.
Due to limited manpower and material resources, coupled with insufficient time, the overall defense measures in Youtun were not completely completed.
Because the south side is close to the sea and within the range of the Ming Navy, the defense settings in the south are the least complete.
There are also the fewest interceptors outside the city that hinder the opponent's siege.
It was for this reason that Yan Yingyuan asked Zhu Wu to go out through the north gate and come back through the south gate.
Of course, we don't expect that the other side can all enter the city at once. As long as they can reach the city wall smoothly, with the help of elites on the city wall, the possibility of the cavalry led by Zhu Wu returning to the city is still very high.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" After the Tatars entered the shooting range, the Ming troops on the south city wall pulled their bows and arrows to cover Zhu Wu's cavalry.
Although many arrows deviated from the trajectory expected by their masters and shot into the cavalry led by Zhu Wu, they did not cause any damage to Zhu Wu's team.
The armor of heavy cavalry has strong defensive power, and ordinary arrows cannot break through the armor of heavy cavalry. This is an important reason why the Ming army on the south wall used bows and arrows.
Combat is not a game, and weapons will not treat you just because you are one of our own.
The powerful Rumi gun can break the armor of the Tatars, and it can also break the armor of our own people.
If they all used the Lumi Gun, which is more labor-saving, has a longer range, and has a stronger armor-piercing ability, it is estimated that half of Zhu Wu's team would be destroyed by his own people first.
"The brothers in the back turned around and covered the brothers in the front."
Following Suihe Zhu Wu's order, the heavy cavalry behind them turned their horses' heads, clasped the spears in their hands, and followed the instructions of their respective squad leaders to stab the front in unison.
The oncoming Tatars fell off their horses and fell unconscious under the double blow of the arrows of the Ming army on the city and the heavy cavalry led by Zhu Wu.
However, the outside of the city is not a dangerous area after all, and it cannot have the effect of one man guarding the gate and ten thousand men unable to open it. Seeing this, many Tatars bypassed the Ming Dynasty heavy cavalry behind them and killed towards the city gate.
"Seize the city gate, capture Youtun, get a promotion and a salary increase, get a wife..." Stimulated by various wonderful rewards, the Tatars, who had the numerical advantage, finally entered the city gate. But what awaited them was not Akito's fearful expression, but the spears of the soldiers guarding the city gate.
...
"What, the southern city gate has been captured!"
Huang Taiji, who was worried that the Ming army was making small moves, finally smiled after hearing the news.
"While the Ming army's cavalry entered the city, Lord Zhang Hao led his troops into the city gate and is now fighting the Ming army again."
"Kututaiji, you lead 10,000 people and guard outside. If the Ming army abandons the city and flees, you must keep an eye on the opponent.",
"Don't worry, as long as you capture Youtun, we will divide all the spoils equally."
It seemed that he could see what Nututaiji was thinking. Huang Taiji directly added it before Nututaiji could speak.
"Don't forget to find me two beautiful men"
Nututaiji said, Guitutaiji also wanted the credit for capturing Youtun, but who allowed himself to be the deputy? Normally, you can ignore Huang Taiji's orders, but not now.
And the fighter opportunity is fleeting, if you are not careful. When the Ming army regains the city gate, Huang Taiji will definitely put the blame on himself. By then, won't he be the city's scapegoat?
Moreover, although the Ming army lost the city gate, it did not mean that the Ming army lost its strength. Since Huang Taiji had agreed to share the spoils equally, why did he risk the loss of his subordinates to fight against the Ming Dynasty?
.....
"Ha, ha, ha, warriors of Houjin, the gate of Youtun has been opened now, follow me to kill the enemy."
Huang Taiji, who rushed to the south gate of Youtun, saw that his team was being expelled by the Ming army. He didn't want to directly order the entire army to attack.
.....
Zhang Li was originally from Liaoyang, Liaodong. After Liaoyang fell into the hands of the slaves, Zhang Li was forced to follow the people in his village to the capital.
I thought that the court would carry out disaster relief, but I didn't expect that under the leadership of the dog officer, I almost starved to death. It was not until later that His Highness King Xin, now the Emperor of Heaven, inspected the refugee camp, and everyone's life finally became a little better.
The late emperor reorganized the capital camp, and with the determination to avenge his family, Zhang Li joined the capital camp.
Zhang Li has always been training extremely seriously, and his shooting ability is one of the best in the entire Beijing camp.
Later, when His Majesty ascended the throne, Master Zhu reorganized the Beijing camp, and Zhang Li led the heavy armored infantry camp because of his physical strength.
The heavy armored infantry battalion is a new battalion set up by the Beijing camp, and all the soldiers are physically strong.
Heavy infantry, wearing heavy armor all over their bodies and holding special muskets that can be equipped with bayonets.
Zhang Li's daily training tasks, apart from shooting, were to wear heavy armor and keep poking.
Although Zhang Li didn't know what the purpose of doing this was, Master Zhu said that all this was a preparation to kill Jiannu.
Zhang Li trained more seriously.
Finally, His Majesty's order arrived, and Zhang Li came to Youtun by boat.
"Kill, kill, kill" amidst the roars of the casual soldiers, Zhang Li continued to follow his comrades and thrust out the bayonet in his hand.
As the sword light went down, the Tatars fell down one by one.
"One, two, three...Mom, dad, grandpa, grandma, I will avenge you." Zhang Li kept roaring in his heart.
