The men and horses of Duoyan's three guards, plus Duoyan's 30,000 people, totaled 60,000 people.
Although the Ming Dynasty's army was small, the counterattack was very fierce. Compared with the previous times, it was not at the same level. Maybe it was because the emperor Zhu Houzhao was in Datong.
Dayan looked at the sky. He knew that Datong could not be captured in a short while, but he had to be as powerful as a tiger in order not to give the Ming army a chance to breathe. So he encouraged again; "Men, charge forward. The Ming army is weak and cannot hold out for long. After Datong is conquered, women, silver, cloth, and slaves are all ours. I promise that half of the wealth from this battle will be shared with you. Go, there is no point in going. Where can the Ming people snatch it back? Capture the Ming Emperor's warriors and reward a hundred slaves, ten thousand cattle and sheep, and ten women. You can lead a large number of leaders by yourself. Go, take back the glory that belongs to us, and capture the Ming Emperor alive. ···!”
Capture the Ming Emperor alive, roar~.
The entire 70,000-strong army behind them pressed forward, and the Tatars carried shields and pushed siege engines toward the side wall of Datong.
Zhu Houzhao was standing in the dark watching the show, but the shouts of the grassland barbarians below the city reached his ears. He secretly said in his heart: Come on, come on, I am waiting for you, let's see who captures whom alive.
Wang Shouren ordered the defenders to throw stones, rolled logs, and torches harder to stop the enemies from climbing the city wall.
It seems that the defenders are at their wits end. They keep killing four people and dare not relax for a moment. It would be strange if they are not tired. Dayan and the others seem to have seen hope. The offensive is becoming more fierce. The Tatars' siege equipment is not as good as Ming Dynasty. People, and there were no good craftsmen to build it, so if one was lost, one would be missing. When they learned that the Ming emperor was in Datong, they didn't care about all this.
Mainly catching Emperor Ming, everything is worth it.
These days, the Tatars have been constantly testing and harassing the city of Datong. The 72nd military fort outside the city has been wiped out by them. They are more ferocious than the locusts crossing the border. This can be considered a benefit. Dayan's ambition is not small. , and another Jin Yiwei secret guard delivered "news" to him.
If we don’t win Datong, we would really be sorry for this God-given opportunity.
Datong guard Hu Zan secretly murmured to himself whether the emperor's strategy was reliable or not. What if the Tatars ran away? Could they still chase the Tatars deep into the desert to kill Dayan? They were cavalry. If they really wanted to run away, just rely on them. What can Wang Shouren do with 20,000 cavalry?
Not only did he have no confidence, Wang Shouren also had the same idea. However, the emperor seemed determined to do this. What could they do? They had to do their best, hoping that they could be killed in one fell swoop as the emperor predicted. Dayan.
Now these ferocious Tatars are charging desperately. Can the 30,000 defenders really be able to stop them?
The side walls of Datong's mansion are majestic and solid, and there is a moat. With a small number of people, it is still very powerful, but there are too many enemies, and the moat cannot stop it. The suspension bridge has been cut down and lowered, and the Tatar siege gate The giant trees collided with the tall city gate with a loud sound.
Seeing more and more enemies gathering under the city and killing them endlessly, Hu Zan's heart tightened and he ordered to the defender General Pi: "Take a thousand soldiers and block the city gate. If the city gate is lost, you will die." You can’t let an enemy in either.”
"promise."
Dong Dong~!
Thousands of flying arrows shot from outside the city to the tower. From time to time, soldiers fell down and were carried down. It was so tragic. Zhu Houzhao looked at all this indifferently. It was not that he was too indifferent, but the experience of the eighth life made him Look down on life and death, this is war, life and death, there is no right or wrong, only success or failure.
If he is reincarnated as a Tatar, then the Ming Dynasty is an enemy. Unfortunately, he is a Ming Dynasty and an emperor, so the Tatars can die. He can only express his apology to the soldiers on his side. You deserve to die, and I will fulfill my promise. of.
Zhu Hou took care of the situation. He was afraid that Datong would be lost before nightfall, but if he took action now, if the Tatars were alert, not everything would be lost. Xuanfu's soldiers and horses, as well as Jinzhou The soldiers and horses have already bypassed Datong and left Xiongguan. It will take almost two or three days to get around Dayan's back and ambush him. I don't know if they can arrive in time to ambush, or let the Jinzhou army attack Duoyan's three guards in a sneak attack. Remaining members.
The Xuanfu army had to evade the enemy's probing horses and march quickly behind the Tatars. If there was a mistake in the middle of Zhu Houzhao's real-time strategy game, everything would be lost. If there were only 5,000 Iron Eagle Guards, then Only a fool would do this, and Zhu Houzhao was not stupid. If he really only led 5,000 people to kill 130,000 people, he would be really a fool.
Five thousand modern thermal weapons army, plus 50,000 troops from Datong Mansion, plus 50,000 troops from Xuan Mansion, you can do the math yourself.
However, no matter what, Datong cannot be broken now, but how to deal with the current situation? Fighting is really a troublesome thing. If you are not careful, you will fall into a dilemma. This is quite different from the result he expected. ,what to do.
The reason why Dayan is so brave is half of Zhu Houzhao's own credit. He deliberately revealed his whereabouts, thinking that he could kill Dayan, but depending on the situation, there was a danger of being killed by others.
Zhu Houzhao's expression was uncertain. Do you want to capture me alive? Just kidding, that’s impossible. If I’m captured alive by you idiot, then I’ll come back in time and don’t let people see the joke. Forget it, let’s expose it. As long as we don’t lose the battle, it’s a good start. It’s just a pity. You can't capture Dayan alive to dance for me.
"Go and tell Zhang Zhong to give Dayan some color. The time is almost here. I'm waiting to see his performance." Zhu Houzhao ordered the guards around him.
"According to the order."
Zhang Zhong was refreshed after receiving the news. It was finally his turn to play. At this moment, his blood was boiling, as if he had returned to the general who commanded thousands of troops on the battlefield.
"Follow me to the tower and kill the enemy." Zhang Zhong shouted excitedly.
The long-awaited battle for the Iron Eagle Guard has finally come.
kill! ! !
They were all like wolves and tigers, their eyes were filled with the desire to kill, and all the muscles in their bodies were trembling with excitement.
Zhu Houzhao was behind the city tower, watching the performance of the Iron Eagle Guard, and said to himself with satisfaction; "This is the army of tigers and wolves. They are excited after hearing the battle. The Ming Dynasty needs such an army to survive. In this battle, the Iron Eagle Guard Be famous all over the world.”
Boom boom boom...! ! !
Zhu Houzhao's eyes followed the fire and thunder into the sky. He was nervous and excited. The artillery washed the ground and the strategic goal of long-range strike could be achieved. Success or failure depended on this.
This moment seemed to be forbidden. All the soldiers were looking at the fire thunder flying from the locusts. Their hands were clenched into fists and their breathing protection stopped.
Wang Shouren looked at the city wall blankly.
Hu Zan looked at the city wall.
Zhang Mao and Yang Yiqing looked at the city wall, clenching their fists with nervousness and anticipation. They had seen the power of artillery.
Dai Wang followed Zhu Houzhao and followed Zhu Houzhao's gaze, watching.
The artillery carries Zhu Houzhao's dream of changing the Ming Dynasty, and also carries the dreams of all the Iron Eagle Guards led by Zhang Zhong. Since their minds were awakened by Zhu Houzhao, they are no longer willing to hide in the imperial city forever, and their hearts have changed. Returning to the battlefield again, only fighting on the battlefield, wrapped in horse leather and corpses, is their destination.
At this moment, let these artillery pieces serve as a baptism for them to return to the battlefield.
Boom: The explosion with a huge sound finally took place outside the Datong side wall. In an instant, flesh and blood flew everywhere and blood flowed into a river.
The walls of Datong Mansion trembled violently.
The miserable screams could be heard endlessly. Fortunately, it was only the Tatars who were missing arms and legs and the army of three guards. They were beaten by this sudden horrible thing, calling for father and mother. Just after one round, there was another intensive throwing, and the earth once again After trembling for a moment, the moat outside the city and the ground were all pockmarked by the explosion, and the original appearance was completely unrecognizable.
The earthen artillery barrels fired at the enemies under the city, and the fire and thunder poured out for free. Zhang Mao, Yang Yiqing and others who did not understand what artillery was before finally gained experience. Even the person who personally directed this war Zhu Houzhao was shocked. This was too scary. Gunpowder was really so powerful.
For the ancients who were used to playing with cold weapons, this was simply a disaster like a catastrophe. The Tatars and the leaders of the three guards never expected that such a tragic scene would suddenly occur.
After Zhu Houzhao was in a trance for a short time, he came back to his senses, punched each other excitedly, and laughed excitedly: "It's done, it's done, hahaha..."
The King of Dai had not yet recovered from his fright. Hearing this, he screamed in unbelievable fear and said with a trembling voice: "This, this, this... is so terrifying~ so terrifying."
Zhu Houzhao smiled and said to Dai Wang: "Uncle Emperor, this is a magical weapon created by my Royal Manufacturing Bureau. What do you think of it?"
Cold sweat broke out on Dai Wang's back. Hearing this, he bowed and saluted and said, "Speaking to the emperor, I have never dreamed of such a magical weapon. The emperor has such a magical weapon. From now on, the grasslands and deserts will not be afraid. I would like to extend my congratulations to the Emperor. Long live my Emperor."
Zhu Houzhao helped him up, walked out of the safe room, and came to the city wall in person, followed closely by King Dai.
"The time has come. The Tatars have become frightened birds and are not enough to be afraid. Wang Shouren immediately went out of the city to fight and capture Dayan alive." He saw the opportunity and ordered to go out of the city to fight.
Zhu Houzhao drew out the Emperor's Sword and pointed it outside the city.
Kill~! ! !
There was chaos outside the city. People were shouting and neighing, and they were running away. There were 130,000 horses. At this moment, 40,000 people were gone. 40,000 people. This was neither a chicken nor a duck. It was just gone. A complete body was gone. Not found.
Dayan's heart froze, and the leader of the three guards was extremely frightened. How could this happen? What kind of magical weapon did Mingren possess to cause such a horrific killing? Forty thousand people were killed in an instant.
Retreat, this is the voice of the grassland people. The civilians were the first to run away. They could outrun the cavalry on their two legs, and many of them were trampled to death.
Dayan saw that the situation had turned and his defeat was certain. He knew that if he didn't leave now, he was afraid that he would not be able to leave. Akito had such a powerful magic weapon and only used it now. He must have the intention to destroy him. Now he is only afraid of the child emperor. Zhu Houzhao was already gathering his army and was preparing to leave the city to fight.
After a crushing defeat and a loss of military morale, it is not easy to reunite. Especially now, Akito has broken their courage. How can they still have the heart to fight again? Who knows, that terrible black ball will still be there. Will it fly next to them and explode again? It's better to run away quickly.
The fire mines did not fly again, because after several rounds of crazy bombardment, the fire mines had been used up.
The city gate of Datong Mansion, which had been closed for more than half a month, was opened again. The sound of hooves pounding inside, the sound of killing shook the sky, and Mingren rushed out.
Dayan shouted "Retreat."
He took the lead and ran away. His ambition must be pursued with a life, and now it is more important to save his life.
Wang Shouren's order was to pursue Dayan, so he took 20,000 cavalry and Zhang Zhong's 5,000 Iron Eagle Guards. They were jealous, roaring, and howling, and chased Dayan. They would not return until Dayan was killed. Datong.
"Soldiers, kill the enemy and make a contribution today, kill it!!!"
Kill kill kill! ! !
