"Sun Zushou, you have to hold on, it's up to you whether you can kill the Jiannu coalition forces!"
"By now, the white pole soldiers and Teng Xiang's left guard should have started moving!"
"I have finally waited for this moment. I really want to see the miserable conditions of the slaves!"
After Yuan Keli murmured to himself, he fell into deep thought.
And the slave-building coalition forces he was thinking about were attacking Zunhua City from all sides, one mile away from the north city gate.
Huang Taiji listened to the sound of the bell and the light of the North City Gate, and suddenly his spirits were shaken. The secret passage finally arrived.
Looking at the wolf smoke in Zunhua City again, he smiled softly in his eyes and said to himself: "Isn't it too late to think of asking for help now?"
“I’m not afraid that you’ll ask for help, but I’m afraid that you won’t ask for help!”
After muttering to himself, his voice immediately cooled down and he said in a deep voice: "Instruct all banners and units to feign attacks from the east, west and south according to the predetermined plan, and concentrate their forces to attack the north gate!"
Order after order was passed by the messenger to Mang Gurtai and others who were commanding on the battlefield on the north city wall.
"Wuliteng, Unger...the north gate has been blown up by our internal agents. Lead your troops to attack the north gate immediately!"
"Got the order!"
The generals galloped towards the north gate on horseback.
They rushed and screamed all the way, and the sergeant Jiannu who was climbing the wall became even more violent.
The arrow rain seemed endless, and the pressure on the Ming army increased greatly.
Upon seeing this, Mang Gurtai immediately said: "The Chinese army moved forward a hundred feet and sent orders to all city gates to start persuading them to surrender!"
A moment later, dozens of feet away from the city wall, more than a hundred Jiannu sergeants shouted in unison.
"Listen, Ming Army, the north gate has been blown up by our internal forces. Surrender immediately. Those who surrender will not be killed. They will retain their original official positions and their salaries will be doubled. Those who refuse to surrender will be killed without mercy!"
"He who knows the current affairs is a hero. Our internal correspondent is your Shuntian Governor Wang Yuanya. Even your governor secretly surrendered. What are you waiting for?"
…
Dozens of feet away from the four walls, voices urging surrender suppressed the shouts and screams of the ongoing fight.
The Jiannu sergeants who attacked the city were greatly shaken, while the Ming army, who did not know the situation, had a look of horror on their faces.
The eyes of the generals on the walls of the Ming army were full of sneers. If they had not known the plan for a long time, they might have been really shaken at this moment.
"Brothers, don't listen to the nonsense of slave-building and bastards. After killing so many of their sergeants, will they let us go?"
"Now it's just to confuse us. When we surrender, we will settle the score later and kill us for any reason!"
"With the tens of thousands of soldiers in our city, will the slaves trust us? Therefore, they will definitely kill some of them!"
"Brothers, kill one to earn money, kill two to gain. These bastards, Jiannu, offend our Ming border troops, kill our Ming soldiers, plunder and rape our Ming people. As soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, we must not surrender!"
…
The Ming army garrison generals who knew the plan encouraged their sergeants while they kept slashing at the Jiannu sergeants who were about to climb the wall.
In the process of persuading surrender and encouraging them to surrender, Jiannu attacked Beicheng's sergeants and formed a sharp arrow.
Under the leadership of Wu Li Teng, Unger and other two Jia La'e, they inserted themselves into the broken north gate.
When the other Jiannu saw the leading sergeant entering the city gate, their morale increased even more, and the surrounding sergeants also gathered towards the city gate.
But when Wu Li Teng and Ang Ge Jia La Er Zhen entered the city gate without knowing it, their expressions changed drastically when they saw the situation behind the north gate.
Originally, there should be a wide street behind the city gate, but now more than thirty feet away from the city gate, another city wall appeared, forming an inner urn city.
Looking at the color of the city wall, you can tell that it was obviously built recently. There are rows of Juma stakes in front of the city wall, and the ground is covered with sharp iron caltrops.
"You've fallen into a trap, retreat quickly..."
At this moment, Wuli Tengjiala Ezhen didn't know that he had fallen into the Ming army's plan. He immediately roared and wanted to turn his horse's head and retreat.
But the Jiannu coalition forces, who had already been stunned by the broken city gate, could clearly hear that those in front wanted to retreat, while those behind were pushing forward with all their strength.
In the newly built Neiweng City, hundreds of Jiannu soldiers were in chaos, and the Jiannu coalition troops continued to pour in from behind.
The Jiannu sergeant outside the city gate saw that the entry was slow and thought that there was resistance from the Ming army inside.
The more the Ming army resisted, the more necessary it was for them to attack, so the influx became faster.
On top of the city gate tower, Sun Zushou sneered when he saw nearly 10,000 Jiannu sergeants gathered within a radius of more than a hundred feet outside the north gate.
"Brothers, it's time to roast the wild boar, let's get started!"
The book title messenger behind him rushed out with excitement on his face.
“Brothers, it’s time to roast the wild boar!”
“Brothers, it’s time to roast the wild boar!”
…
The messengers ran quickly on the city wall, shouting orders.
After listening to the order, the generals chopped down a Jiannu sergeant who was about to board the city with a sword, and roared: "Brothers, within ten breaths, throw out all the prepared kerosene, thunder, and thousands of enemies. "
In addition to the defensive sergeants, a Ming army member began to place the thunder and ten thousand enemies on the trebuchet, lit it and threw it out, falling into the crowd of Jiannu sergeants in front of the north gate.
Boom...boom...
A series of violent roars sounded.
Thousands of enemies, spraying from all directions and constantly rotating, fell into the Jiannu coalition army, burning Jiannu.
Thunderbolts exploded violently, knocking the people who were killed off their backs.
A jar containing kerosene fell into the slave army. The kerosene shot out and ignited when it encountered fire.
Humanoid flames ran around the battlefield, wailing, and igniting more sergeants.
"Save me...save me, I don't want to die..."
"Don't come here...ah...save me..."
The war horses were frightened by the roaring explosions and the fire that filled the sky. They threw away their masters and began to run wildly.
The horses galloped with such force that the Jiannu sergeants they bumped into along the way were either killed or injured.
The North City Gate became a sea of fire with a radius of 100 feet.
The sounds of war horses neighing, soldiers screaming, firearms exploding, and fire burning all came together.
The smell of sulfur, fire oil, etc. mixed with the fragrance of human flesh filled the gate of Beicheng.
The talk of being brave and not afraid of death, elite soldiers, and brotherhood are all nonsense in this sea of fire.
All this happens in just a few breaths.
Looking at the North City Gate filled with flames, the face of Huang Taiji, who was supervising the battle in the distance, suddenly changed. He didn't know that something had gone wrong.
"Send the order, call for gold and withdraw the troops immediately!"
The rapid gong sounded, and except for the north city wall, the flag sergeants of the Jiannu tribes on the other three walls were all a little confused.
We are about to climb the city wall, why are we retreating now?
Although he didn't understand, he still followed the order and retreated.
When they retreated to the official road, they finally saw the sky full of fire and faint screams outside the north city wall, and quickly retreated without any time to think.
Half an hour later, the Jiannu army regrouped five miles away from Zunhua City.
Looking at the scattered ministries, Huang Taiji said coldly: "Send the order and retreat five miles away!"
"Mang Gurtai, you personally lead two thousand elites to seize the rear!"
Mang Gurtai's face was ashen and he led his elite troops towards Zunhua City, while the Jiannu coalition forces quickly retreated.
