Following Zhang Shijie's order, the city gates of Shenyang suddenly opened.
Zhang Shijie took the lead, leading five thousand cavalry, rushed out of the city gate, and killed the defeated barbarian troops.
Zhang Shijie's servants and cavalry were very brave. In the blink of an eye, they rushed into the enemy's formation and slashed at the enemy with their swords, just like chopping melons and vegetables. In a short time, they defeated the barbarian army and scattered them in a panic. Unable to bear it, he fled for his life.
The war drums on the top of the city began to sound more and more urgent, and the cheers from above were getting louder and louder. The bravery of Zhang Shijie's troops made everyone feel the hope of victory.
When the barbarian soldiers saw this, they ran faster.
When Zhang Shijie saw this, his heart was full of pride, as if victory was right in front of him, he couldn't help laughing.
"Kids, kill them for me."
Leading his soldiers, he frantically pursued and killed the fleeing barbarians.
Everyone was excited to fight, and unknowingly they were chasing him a little too far.
At this moment, two teams of cavalry with bright armor suddenly rushed out from both wings and surrounded Zhang Shijie's team.
When Zhang Shijie found out, his team was already surrounded by barbarians.
Zhang Shijie was suddenly shocked. He was broken and had been fooled.
At this moment, Zhang Shijie still didn't understand that this was a trap set by Hong Tai for himself and deliberately lured him out.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but regret for not sticking to Wang Ziteng's order.
It's too late now, all we can do is fight back to the city.
"Young men, follow my general and fight back to the city to show these barbarians how powerful you are."
Zhang Shijie took the lead and rushed towards the city gate. Feeling that the resistance was not very great, he couldn't help but feel relieved.
He was in the middle of the battlefield, thinking only about escaping back to the city, ignoring the situation on the entire battlefield.
The barbarian soldiers deliberately left a hole for him, but they kept pressing forward from both sides. The purpose was so that when they returned to the city, the city gate could not be closed, and the barbarian soldiers could follow them and invade Shenyang City.
At this time, there was chaos on the city wall, and everyone was stunned. They never imagined that the good situation would turn so suddenly.
"No, General Zhang is surrounded. Should we go and respond?"
Finally someone couldn't help it and said this.
The city suddenly felt like mourning for an heir, it felt like the end of the world.
Deputy General Yang Bingkun said: "Brothers, follow me to meet the Commander-in-Chief."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Bingkun led a team of people to fight out of the city.
······
On a small hill not far from the battlefield, Hong Tai and his generals were riding on a sacred black BMW, surrounded by dozens of Eight Banners generals, looking playfully at the battlefield below.
A proud smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Shenyang is finally his own, and he is about to complete the feat that his father Khan failed to complete.
Capture Shenyang, open the road to the Central Plains, and achieve the grand goal of unifying the world.
He looked around at his generals and said loudly: "Shenyang is under my spell. Who is willing to capture Shenyang City for me and be the first to attack Shenyang?"
Amin was delighted when he heard this, now was a good opportunity.
He can use this to leave Hong Tai's side, or he can take advantage of the situation to capture Shenyang and establish his own immortal achievements. When Hong Tai dies, he can naturally ascend to the position of Great Khan.
This is really a good thing that kills two birds with one stone. Success or failure depends on this.
Amin cupped his hands and said: "Great Khan, if my subordinates are willing to go, I will take Shenyang City for the Great Khan."
Other generals also asked for battle, "Great Khan, my servants are also willing to go."
Hong Tai nodded with satisfaction, just in time to weaken Amin's strength and consolidate his own authority.
"Okay, the main attack task this time will be handed over to Erbeile. The others should go down and prepare, and strive to capture Shenyang City in one fell swoop and open the passage south."
"Yes, I will obey the decree of the Great Khan."
The generals agreed, turned and left.
Amin glanced at Gu Qi, the confidant beside him, Gu Qi nodded, and gradually disappeared into the crowd.
Amin did not hesitate, and immediately summoned his deployment and launched a fierce attack on Shenyang City.
Not to be outdone, other generals led their troops to attack the city one after another. The two sides turned into a decisive battle, with victory or defeat determined in one fell swoop.
Zhang Shijie glanced at the battlefield and sighed secretly in his heart. This time it was really over. Even if he escaped this disaster, he could not escape Wang Ziteng's guilt.
I hope I can return to the city, reorganize the soldiers, repel the barbarian attack, and atone for my sins.
Although this hope is somewhat slim, it is still a glimmer of hope, right?
Under the deliberate release of the water by the barbarians, Zhang Shijie and Li Bingkun met up, and the two of them worked together to kill the city gate.
At this time, the barbarian army had launched a full-scale attack, heading towards the Shenyang city gate like a tide.
Just when everyone's attention was focused on the battlefield under Shenyang City.
About three thousand meters away from the hill where Hong Tai was, Zhang Hu had already set up a small steel cannon, aiming at the hill where Hong Tai was, ready to bombard Hong Tai at any time.
Zhang Hu held a telescope and stared at Hong Tai on the hill.
He has been lying in wait here for more than ten days, waiting for the best time to launch.
Sometimes he thought that if he even bombed Amin, then the barbarian tribe would be leaderless, and there would definitely be chaos, which would be more beneficial to Dachu.
But that would cut off the trade route between his master and the barbarians.
After thinking about it carefully, he gave up. He only needed to obey his master's orders, and other things had nothing to do with him.
The master builds power outside to prevent the imperial court from attacking him and to leave a way out for himself. He only needs to be optimistic about his master's retreat.
I saw many people leaving, including Amin. Only Hong Tai and some of his cronies were still there to watch the battle.
Such a good opportunity cannot be missed again, otherwise it will be difficult to say whether there will be another opportunity like this.
It was just an agreement with Amin that the cannon could only be fired after Gu Qi came to notify him.
I don’t know what Amin wants to do?
There were several times during which it was possible to fire, but I didn't receive Amin's signal and missed the opportunity. I hope it won't happen again this time.
While he was thinking about it, Gu Qi's figure appeared in his field of vision.
Zhang Hu smiled slightly, finally waiting, and ordered his men to check the position of the muzzle again to try to hit the target.
At this time, Gu Qi came to him.
He cupped his hands and said, "Brother Zhang Hu, are you impatient? Our master has said that we can take action."
Zhang Hu smiled and said: "I'm just waiting for your words. We have to go back after finishing the work. After staying here for so long, everyone has opinions. What does your master think? Several opportunities have been missed. .”
Gu Qi leaned close to Zhang Hu's ear and whispered: "Brother Zhang, I won't hide it from you. If nothing happens, Shenyang will be captured today. Our master has been waiting for this moment.
Waiting for Hong Tai to launch a general offensive, taking Shenyang, and then killing Hong Tai. This will kill two birds with one stone and be more beneficial to our master. Now that the people in the city have been lured out of the city to fight, and a general offensive has been launched, it is time Take action. "
Zhang Hu felt a little uncomfortable when he heard this.
Seeing Shenyang fall, there is nothing I can do. It would be great if the master were here.
However, the court did not want the master to go to the battlefield again, fearing that if he made great achievements again, it would be difficult to reward him, which would lead to resentment.
Alas, it’s really your own fault and you can’t live.
I don’t know how the imperial court will feel when they find out the news.
As the master said, Amin is also very ambitious, and he doesn't know how the relationship between the two parties will develop in the future.
Forget it, let’s complete the task first.
Zhang Hu nodded and said: "So that's it. Your master is really good at calculating. Then I will congratulate your master in advance."
Gu Qi smiled and said: "Easy to say, easy to say. I will definitely bring General Zhang's words to the master."
Zhang Hu came to the side of the small steel cannon, checked the target again, and gave the order to fire.
"fire."
A cannonball flew out with a "swish" sound and landed on a small hill.
Hearing a "boom", a mushroom cloud rose on the hill, and immediately, several people were seen being blown away.
This shot was quite accurate. Zhang Hu could see clearly through the telescope.
He turned to his subordinates and said, "Don't be stunned. Just to be on the safe side, keep firing."
After firing four more shells in succession, Zhang Hu called for a stop and left five shells in case of emergency.
There should be no living people on the other side of the hill, so my mission is considered completed.
He turned to Gu Qi and said: "The mission is completed, this place has been exposed, we must evacuate immediately, otherwise we will not be able to leave."
Gu Qi nodded and looked at the small steel cannon in front of him, feeling a little apprehensive in his heart.
This thing is so powerful that anyone who touches it will be doomed. Ning Guogong has a lot of good things in his hands, and they are all great weapons.
I have to remind my master when I go back that I need to be cautious in my treatment of Ning Guogong.
"General Zhang, thank you very much. We will see you later. Take your leave."
Zhang Hu cupped his hands and said, "See you later."
Watching Gu Qi leave, Zhang Hu waved his hand and quickly evacuated the place with his men, joining the large troops and returning to the grassland.
He also wanted to quickly notify the caravan and report the situation here to his master.
······
Just when Hong Taizhi was very proud and in a great mood.
A cannonball fell next to him and exploded with a "bang". A powerful shock wave blew Hong Tai away.
The sudden change made Hong Tai completely unprepared and felt like he was flying.
Rich experience told him that he was being plotted, but at this moment, his vision went dark and he lost consciousness.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
Continuous explosions occurred where Hong Tai was.
The surrounding guards were frightened and rushed up the hill to save people.
But the first people to rush forward were blown away by the ensuing cannonballs. Some of them happened to be next to the cannonballs. Their bones and tendons were broken by the bombs, and they died.
After finally waiting for the artillery fire to stop, I went over and saw that there was no one alive above.
When they found Hong Tai, their sweat had no breath.
Although Amin was directing the battle, he had been paying attention to Hongtai. This was related to his own plan and he must not be negligent.
When he heard the explosion, Amin felt happy and thought to himself.
Ning Guogong's people are indeed reliable.
When I was in a good mood, I burst out laughing, but fortunately I held it back. If I laughed at this time, I would probably be targeted.
The explosion on the hill attracted many generals, who turned their heads to look over.
Where is their sweat? If something goes wrong, it will be over.
When Amin saw the crowd gathered around him, he raised his legs and followed them.
When I got to the hill, my scalp felt numb.
I saw dozens of corpses lying on the ground in a mess, none of them intact, they were all mutilated by the bombing.
Hong Tai's body was put aside alone and had been tidied up.
"The Great Khan, the Great Khan is dead."
"Khan, how did it become like this? Who did this?"
"What can we do? There is still a war going on, and if one mistake is made, it will turn into a huge rout."
"This was blown up by a cannon shell. There was a sneak attack nearby. Send someone to investigate the surrounding area quickly."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was so frightened that they backed away, and no one dared to stay where they were.
Amin knew the reason and was not worried. He still stayed where he was. He glanced at Hongtai's guards and scolded: "How did you protect the Khan? How could you let him have an accident?"
A guard leader said: "Reporting to Erbeile, we were on guard around the area. Suddenly we heard an explosion. We rushed over and saw what happened. Many of the brothers who rushed over were also killed by the explosion. When we found the Khan , the Great Khan has passed away."
Amin said: "Now take your people and search the area within ten miles carefully to see if you can find any traces of the assassin."
"Yes, Erbeile, I will take care of it now."
The other generals and tribal leaders saw that Amin stayed where he was and nothing happened, so they came back.
Amin said: "My generals, the Great Khan was unfortunately assassinated. I am deeply grieved. This has left our clan leaderless. Ordinarily, we should stop the war and send the body of the great Han back to the country first to deal with the Great Khan's funeral."
Ertai said: "Er Beile, don't retreat. Victory is in sight now. Once we retreat, all our previous efforts will be in vain. Our previous efforts will be in vain, and it will turn into a great rout."
"Yes, if we withdraw our troops now, our losses will never be recovered. We must not withdraw our troops."
The war has been going on for nearly twenty days. Every general and every tribe has lost many of their men. Now it's time to pick the fruit, and no one wants to stop.
Once Hong Tai died, everyone lost their restraints and even thought about plundering the city after breaking it. Now everything they robbed is theirs.
Amin also knew what everyone was thinking. These people were all rebellious people. Hong Tai had not let them completely return to their hearts. He only had his own interests in mind and did not care too much about Hong Tai's life and death.
The worst thing is, just change to the Great Khan. Whoever becomes the Great Khan makes no difference in their eyes.
Amin said: "Generals, this is what I mean. Now that the city is about to be destroyed, we must not give up halfway. Now that the Great Khan has been killed and the army is leaderless, the army must not be without a leader."
I have the highest authority in the army, and the army is temporarily under my command. When Shenyang is captured and returned to Hetuala, a new candidate for the Great Khan will be elected. After conquering Shenyang, all gains will be personal. All generals can Have any objection? "
Among the barbarians now, apart from Hong Tai and Amin, they have the highest status and the strongest strength.
After hearing what he said, I naturally had no objection.
"Everything depends on Erbeile's orders."
