Daning City is in danger.
Tamerlane issued the most severe military order: sergeants at the gate of the city, if you don't move forward, you will die; sergeants outside the city wall, if you don't climb the city, you will die!
This is the only chance!
Tamerlane knew very well that once this opportunity was lost, it would be a fool's errand for Uliangha to plot against Daning City or the areas outside the customs!
The Ming army with firearms may not be able to conquer a fortified city even if it pays a heavy price!
A rough and reckless man like Xu Zhen brought a fighter opportunity. He Fu would never allow a second Xu Zhen to appear. In the future, Daning City will definitely stick to it and rely on firearms to kill people from a distance!
Tamerlane the Completion personally supervised the battle, and the fierce offensive brought the western city wall of Daning to an almost desperate situation.
However, there is Wu Bingde on the city wall.
Wu Bingde was not an ordinary person. Although he was a scholar, he was a war madman. As early as when he was in the military academy, he had proposed "fighting in desperate situations and fighting to the last man alive" and extremely looked down upon the behavior of abandoning the city and fleeing and surrendering.
Even if some people think that abandoning the city and fleeing is to preserve the vitality, Wu Bingde still disagrees. He believes that abandoning the city without authorization without getting the will or order is not only abandoning the people in the city, but also abandoning the honor of the sergeants.
It is the honor of a sergeant to die on the battlefield! Running away is a shame for a soldier.
This is Wu Bingde's belief, and it is precisely because of the existence of this belief that even if there is fighting at the city gate, fighting on the city wall, and even Wu Bingde is hit by an arrow in his shoulder, he still has no intention of retreating.
Wu Bingde raised his hoarse voice and ordered his people to shout loudly: "Keep on holding on, Yuan Yue's army has arrived!"
Ming Dynasty sergeant on the city wall
, fought back wildly, but Sergeant Wu Liangha’s arrows were quite deadly, and would kill Ming soldiers from time to time! Just as there were fewer and fewer defenders on the city wall, and more and more Wu Liangha soldiers climbed onto the city wall, and when the city wall was about to be lost, the defenders on the north and south walls began to provide support.
Tianlidu did not pose a fatal threat to He Fu. After He Fu judged that the city defenders could suppress Tianlidu with their firearms, He Fu decisively led a group of people to support the west city gate. The defenders at the south city gate also had no enemies. , devoting more than half of the manpower to support the west city gate.
With the addition of these forces, especially a batch of firearms, the West City Gate, which was on the verge of collapse, stabilized the situation again. He Fu ordered the sergeants in the city to speed up the transportation of firearms to the West City Wall, and batches of grenades were thrown out, killing and injuring Wu Liang. Sergeant Ha.
He Fu even ordered people to set up a tiger crouching artillery array directly in the city. After a test firing, batches of gunpowder bombs flew into the air, flew over the city wall and out of the city, and fell directly into the Uliangha military formation a hundred steps outside the city gate. middle.
With the investment of a large number of firearms and manpower, especially when Battle was beheaded and his head hung up, the soldier Wu Liangha who entered the city was panicked and his combat power was greatly reduced. Coupled with the roaring artillery fire, Xu Zhen and others continued to After publicizing the news that Timur had escaped, some Ulyanha sergeants in the city did not know the truth and were unable to advance or retreat, so they surrendered directly.
Those who did not surrender could only act in a hurry, unable to kill the front and reach the Ming army. The Ming army gradually stabilized their position, and firearms were continuously carried out from the warehouse. Facing the densely packed Ming army, more and more firearms entered. Sergeant Wu Liangha in the city had no choice but to surrender.
Dancheng
Sergeant Wu Liangha inside the gate didn't know it, and was still there noisily urging the charge ahead. Suddenly, there was a violent roar outside the city gate, and gunpowder bombs covered the outside of the city gate like rain.
Groups of Sergeants Wu Liangha were directly killed and injured in the bombing. A "vacuum" zone was almost formed near the city gate. It was difficult for the Sergeants Wu Liangha outside to be replenished in a short time.
At this moment, Sergeant Wu Liangha who was in the city gate suddenly felt something loose in front of him, and shouted and rushed out of the city gate. He saw fierce-looking Ming troops facing him, holding firearms, bows and arrows.
Firearms roared outside the city gate, and there were shouts of killing inside the city gate.
When the smoke from the firearms dissipated, Tamerlane looked towards the city gate. Within a hundred steps there was no sergeant who could stand, and all the horses had fallen to the ground.
At the city gate, the Ming army appeared. They were cleaning up the corpses. They walked out of the city gate and looked at themselves provocatively.
Tamerlane was extremely sad.
They exhausted all their efforts, exhausted all means, put in the best and the best, but in the end, apart from huge losses, there was no gain at all! It was clear that they had entered the city gate, they had clearly reached the city, but the Ming army did not collapse and the city was not captured!
Alatancang looked at Tamerlane, the finisher, and said painfully: "Battle is dead, and the Ming army hung up his head."
After finishing Timur, he looked towards the city wall, where a bamboo pole stretched out with a human head hanging on it.
There was some commotion in the rear army. Soon after, Mo Rigen ran back in embarrassment, out of breath: "It's a big deal. Mu Zeshan died in the battle, and Yuan Yue's army came to kill him!"
"What?"
Timur the Perfect
Feeling cold all over.
Mu Zeshan was a battle-hardened general. When his father, Tuolu Huchaer, controlled the Duoyan Guards, he was the third-ranking figure. How could he be defeated so easily by the Ming army and even lose his life?
"Where's Su He?"
Tamerlane asked after the completion.
Mo Rigen did not dare to tell the truth: "When I withdrew, Su He had already retreated. Has he not come back yet?"
Alatancang took a deep look at Mo Rigen, and had no choice but to say to Tamerlane, the finisher: "Perhaps Su He was bitten by the Ming army, and the chances are bad. We can no longer stay in Daning now, we must withdraw."
Timur the Completer was very unwilling. This was his first battle since he took over the Ulyanha tribe, and it was also a battle in which the fate of the whole clan was at stake. If he failed like this and returned in embarrassment, how could he have the face to see his father? See the women and children who gave the soldiers to themselves?
But now the situation has completely changed. The Ming army has regained control of the city gate, and a large number of the Ming army's firearms have also been moved to the city wall, forming a powerful coverage. It is unrealistic to capture Daning City again!
What's more, Yuan Yue's army is chasing after him. If Yuan Yue bites him and He Fu suddenly breaks out in the city, he will be attacked from both sides!
If you keep fighting, you will definitely die!
Morigen persuaded painfully: "Retreat, if you don't retreat, all of us will be trapped here!"
"But if we withdraw, there will probably be no hope."
Tamerlane was in great pain when he was finished.
Alatancang said quickly: "But if everyone loses here, Wu Liangha will really have no hope. If the combat power is preserved, the Ming army may still be wary. If all combat power is lost, the Ming army will definitely be Nothing
Worry will definitely annex our tribe! "
Timur the Perfect knew the consequences, but...
Isn't the question now, whether to die here or far away? This is no longer a question of retreat and preservation.
Looking at the soldiers around them, their eyes showed fear, panic, and decadence, but they lacked the courage to fight to the death.
Firearms have indeed brought a great shadow to everyone. This is the first time that the Uliangha people have seen the overwhelming number of firearms. They have witnessed the dense explosion of firearms in an instant, followed by corpses and a sea of blood everywhere.
Sergeant Wu Liangha was not afraid of death in cavalry battles and fighting, but he was afraid of being killed without reaching the enemy. His death was meaningless and worthless, and he didn't even find a backer!
Once the morale of the army is weakened, it will be difficult to inspire it again.
Tamerlane the Completion finally gave the order to retreat, gathered the remaining troops, took more than 11,000 people with him, left nearly 5,000 corpses, and ran towards the north city gate, together with the remaining 4,000 Tianli The remaining people gathered together and fled northward.
Seeing this, He Fu immediately sent Xu Zhen, Wu Bingde, and Ma Pu with 3,000 cavalry to pursue him. Yuan Yue's cavalry saw Timur retreating from a distance, and without hesitation, he immediately led his cavalry to pursue north.
Yuan Yue urged his horse to gallop, and the sergeants behind him shouted and charged.
Nearly 30,000 cavalrymen were running on the grassland, and the horses' hooves made a dull sound on the ground. Wherever they were, the grass had turned into mud.
When Tamerlane looked back, he was struck by the wind like a slap in the face. The Ming army in the distance began to pursue them, and there were many of them!
It can be seen that the cavalry brought by Yuan Yue really solved the problem.
Without Mu Zeshan, the Ming Army is no longer the Ming Army it was many years ago.
After finishing the battle, Timur kept patting the horse, hoping that the horse could run faster.
During the pursuit, Yuan Yue looked at the vigorous cavalryman Qiao Xiao on the side. Qiao Xiao was holding the sun and moon flagpole at an angle, and the flag was flapping in the wind.
Tang Bi gritted his teeth and held on. As he got older, such a high-intensity pursuit was really difficult. However, the heat flowing in his blood made Tang Bi very excited. It seemed that he had returned to his youthful days, when he was galloping around without fear of any enemy. , Dare to fight anyone!
escape!
Chase!
The two military formations, seen from a high altitude, look like two long arrows shot out, chasing each other, and streaking away like meteors...
After finishing, Timur escaped for thirty miles in one breath. He just wanted to slow down his horse and take a breath, but unexpectedly, Yuan Yue did not retreat at all, and kept pursuing him from behind.
As a last resort, Timur had no choice but to urge his horse to run away again, and after running another thirty miles, he was completely exhausted, and his horse was also extremely tired and sweating all over his body.
But looking back, the sun and moon flag of the Ming army appeared in the distance again.
Tamerlane had no choice but to order Morigen to lead 3,000 people to cut off the rear, and then lead the people away with Tianlidu.
Mo Rigen was greedy for life and afraid of death, otherwise he would not have taken the initiative to leave on the battlefield. Facing the Ming army's momentum and fierce charging, he shouted and led people to stop it for a while, only to find that the Ming army took out another weapon. The three-eyed firecrackers and a flurry of beatings had not stopped the Ming army, but they had already suffered heavy losses here.
Seeing this scene, Morigen simply ran away with his guards. However, in order not to be killed by Tamerlane again, Morigen did not choose to escape north.
, but chose to run westward.
Seeing that the opponent's number was small, Yuan Yue arranged for 200 cavalry to chase him. The main force still pursued Tamerlane. Facing the exhausted Ming army cavalry, Yuan Yue shouted loudly: "Those who offend our Ming Dynasty will end up in hell. Kill them all! Chase them!"
