Although everyone urged him in unison, Polo still hesitated.
The generals couldn't help but frown when they saw that Polo didn't have the usual "Iron Marshal" demeanor, but they couldn't push him too hard.
Zhu Qiyu sat on the top of the city and could clearly see the movements of the Polo army. After several hundred Huali cavalry tested it, the Polo army stopped.
Many civil servants and nobles on the top of the city couldn't bear it any longer. They sat up involuntarily and looked nervously at the bottom of the city.
When Zhu Qiyu saw this, he didn't care and just waved to his guards.
After receiving the instructions, the personal guards pulled off the white cloth covering the front of the small Jingguan on the top of the city, completely exposing the entire Jingguan to the sight of the Polo army. Then the war drum was beaten on the top of the city, attracting the attention of the Polo army.
Originally, Polo was on the verge of ordering a temporary retreat, but before he could say anything, he heard the sound of war drums on the top of the city.
Sixteen thousand Wala soldiers looked towards the city head in unison. Although they were not close together, there were 4,200 heads piled together, making it a big pile. People soon realized that these were the heads of their colleagues built into the Jingguan.
The entire army immediately became commotion. The soldiers around Polo were filled with indignation and asked for a fight one after another with an extremely determined attitude.
Polo had already realized something was wrong and was still hesitating, but saw the soldiers unsheathing their sabers and beginning to prepare to charge.
When Bo Luo saw this, his heart skipped a beat: It's over, the army has lost control, and it has been tricked by the new king of the Ming Dynasty again. It's just that there is no turning back now. If he wants to retreat, then there is no need for the new king of the Ming Dynasty to take action. His soldiers will just twist off his head.
With no other choice, Polo had no choice but to bite the bullet and issue the order to attack, and then he was rushed into the residential area by the army.
Due to the sudden Jingguan Incident, the war spirit of the Wala soldiers was high, and Polo was forced to change his deployment. Only 5,000 cavalry were left to contain the Ming army in Yuantucheng, and the remaining 11,000 soldiers rushed into civilian houses. area, planning to annihilate the eight thousand Ming army in the civilian housing area in one go.
Then he used the heads of eight thousand Ming soldiers to build a double-sized Beijing temple to retaliate against the Ming Emperor's ridiculous behavior.
The Oara soldiers were as powerful as a rainbow, and without encountering any resistance along the way, they quickly rushed into the core area of private houses along the avenue.
In the middle of the private housing area is the Chinese army camp of Yingzhou Guard, and there are also four school grounds. The granaries and military tents in the barracks have been set alight by the Ming army.
A part of the Wala cavalry rushed into the camp to check whether there were any remnants of the Ming army, and to check whether there were any trophies left behind.
Most of the Wala cavalry were attracted by the baggage on the largest campus and rushed over.
Polo wanted to stop it, but it was too late. When the Wala cavalry rushed to a distance of a hundred steps from the campus, the baggage on the campus was suddenly stripped of its camouflage, revealing the five hundred crossbows of the Yingzhou Guards.
It is true that the ordinary arrows of the Ming army cannot penetrate the armor of the Oala cavalry, but the same cannot be said for the specially made bed crossbows of the Jinyiwei.
The key point is that the Wala cavalry were charging collectively. When they saw the bed crossbow, they could no longer stop, and they were within the range of the bed crossbow in the blink of an eye.
Each bed crossbow has five powerful crossbows installed in advance, and a hundred bed crossbows fire a salvo, which means five hundred powerful crossbows are fired at the Wala cavalry.
The powerful impact of the crossbow arrows is unstoppable. Once hit, the bones of both men and horses will be broken.
The Yingzhou Guards had a total of 500 crossbows, and each round was fired by a hundred volleys, for a total of five rounds.
Bo Luo watched helplessly as hundreds of Ora cavalry fell in rows. After five rounds of arrow rain, the charging momentum of the Ora cavalry had been completely cut off, and the usually brave soldiers began to gradually retreat.
Fortunately, the Ming army's bed crossbow was disposable and fell down after firing. It was impossible to reload slowly during the battle.
Just when Polo was about to take a breath and prepare to continue to organize the charge, the Ming army began to behave shamelessly again: the Yingzhou Guards soldiers threw away the crossbows in the front row and hid in the back row. Inside the car.
Behind the chariot were a hundred catapults, and the Ming army began to throw stones aimlessly at the Ora cavalry.
The catapult has a range of about 200 steps, and the Ming army did not want to cause casualties, but simply disgusted the Wala cavalry.
If the Wara cavalry stayed where they were, they would huddle together and face rocks falling from the sky from time to time. No matter how good the armor is, it can't withstand a stone weighing dozens of kilograms being thrown at you.
If the Wala cavalry rushes forward, when they are dozens of steps away from the chariot, the Ming army will shoot in the chariot with fire blunderbuss and divine arm crossbows.
If the Wala cavalry retreated to an area of three to five hundred steps, the Ming army would use artillery to bombard them.
The Ming army had artillery, but it was not used until this time.
Polo was so disgusted that he couldn't tell the pain. Five hundred tanks of the Ming army were blocked here, and they couldn't rush through. There was a hail of bullets in front of them, and intensive artillery bombardment behind them. It was really miserable.
Polo was completely discouraged and reluctantly ordered a retreat. He decided to escape from the residential area first, join the five thousand cavalry outside, and reorganize his army in the open area before fighting again.
In the end, the Wala cavalry withstood the Ming army's artillery fire and withdrew from the Yingzhou Guards' camp. Not only was the effort in vain, but more than two thousand corpses were left behind.
Everyone had no choice but to follow the original road, but when they ran to the main road, they found that the Ming army had blocked the main road with a hundred chariots. The most wicked thing is that the Ming army also set a fire, which directly and completely cut off the hope of the Ora cavalry to withdraw from the main road.
Next, the Ora cavalry had to disperse, go through the streets and alleys, and fight their way out.
This played into the Ming army's ambitions. The Yingzhou Guards had been setting up a trap for more than a month, and it finally worked.
After the Ora cavalry were trapped and tossed to their knees, causing numerous casualties, they finally rushed out of the residential area.
At this time, the 5,000 cavalrymen of the Yingzhou Guards, who were waiting for work, took advantage of the fact that the Wala cavalry was not yet stable and began to charge towards Polo's central army. The remaining three thousand battalions of state guards took chariots and firearms out of the camp to support their own cavalry.
Xing'an Hou Xu Heng and Fan Guang, with their 5,000 Xiaoqi Battalion and 3,000 Shenji Battalion, came out and launched a fierce attack on Polo's 5,000-strong army.
Next, there was a face-to-face battle with real swords and spears. It was basically 10,000 Ming Army cavalry versus more than 10,000 Ora cavalry. However, the Ming army had 6,000 elite soldiers armed with muskets and divine arm crossbows assisting the cavalry in attacking.
In the end, the superiority of numbers and troops played a decisive role, and the main Polo force, which was unable to organize effective resistance, was the first to be completely defeated. Immediately afterwards, the 5,000-watt cavalry originally used to contain the Ming army in Yuantucheng was attacked from the east and west by Xiaoqiying and Yingzhou Guards, and suffered heavy losses.
Zhu Qiyu watched the battle on the top of the city for a long time. Seeing that the Polo army was completely defeated, he sighed: After working hard and fighting openly and covertly with the officials and generals for so long, he finally gained momentum.
And under the city of Beijing, as long as 10,000 more people are killed from Yexian's army, the task of the great emperor of tomorrow will be completed. How to kill the remaining 10,000 people when they pursue the army first is a question that Shi Heng, Sun Boring, Fan Guang and other generals have to consider.
Most of the civil servants, lords, and nobles present had seen such a war scene for the first time. Before they could get over the shock, the war had come to an end.
Not long after, Liu Chang left the battlefield with hundreds of personal guards and escorted the three Polo brothers to the tower.
