Mongolia has already had a great victory over the Ming Dynasty, and they must continue their efforts. As long as they win Datong, they can advance towards the capital without any worries, and the various Mongolian ministries will also trust Ye Xian and do their best to support Ye Xian's war against the Ming Dynasty.
In this battle, Ming Dynasty did not want to lose.
But in this battle, Ye Xian wanted to win.
After seeing a new round of Mongolian attack.
Zhu Shou was not afraid in the face of danger and continued to give orders, and the trebuchets were ready to throw stones. After the commander's order was passed into the city, the soldiers took off the armor they had just put on, transported the stones, and tied ropes.
"Damn it, smash these bastards to death." A soldier said viciously, and then raised his Mo Dao and smashed it towards the rope.
The burning flint on the back frame was lifted up after the rope broke. The huge impact caused the flint to fly out of the city wall and hit the Mongolian army directly.
Boom, boom
The sound of falling flints echoed across the battlefield.
Being hit by this flint would end up with no bones left. The power of hundreds of flints flying out of the city made the Mongolian charging soldiers frightened when they saw it, but they had no choice but to lower their heads. , and continued running towards the city wall of Datong.
This second round of attack was even more intense than the first round of attack.
The Mongolian army's rear archery team was also replenished, and arrows continued to fall on the city wall or in Datong City.
After paying a certain price, the second batch of siege Mongolian troops rushed to the foot of Datong City. They held up their shields and began to climb up the ladder towards the city wall.
With the support of the second wave of Mongolian soldiers, the morale of the Mongolian soldiers was immediately boosted, and they screamed and climbed towards the city wall.
Some were hit by stones and fell under the city wall, causing them to roll. Some had just climbed up the city wall, but were picked down by the Ming army with long spears.
This was the first time the Mongolian army had carried out such a reckless siege.
Chen Ying said to Zhu Shou beside him: "Mr. Cheng, how come this Mongolian army fought so fiercely?"
"This shouldn't be Wala's own troops, and he won't feel bad when he uses them first. He doesn't feel bad, but others do. As long as we hold on to the charge of two groups of Mongolian troops, by the third time, the Mongolian troops will I’ll be exhausted.”
"Can we send cavalry to kill them at that time?" Guo Deng said at this time.
"No, it can't be done. The old Duke said that everything should be stable, not a big victory, just undefeated." Zhu Shou said hurriedly.
This Guo Deng still wants to confront the Mongolian army head-on.
Chen Ying said from the side: "The three tribes of Mongolia, the Ouliangha, the Wala, and the Tatars, are now the most powerful. If the Wala can be made to pay a huge price in Datong City and the strength of these three large tribes is equal, Our Northern Territory of the Ming Dynasty will have decades of stability."
Zhu Shou sighed and said: "If there was no such thing as the Tumu Fortress, we wouldn't have such big scruples and we could have a good fight with the Mongolian army. But at this time, we are tied up and can't give it a go."
This is Ming's consistent policy towards Mobei.
Hit the strong, comfort the weak, and hit whoever takes the lead.
Zhu Di's expedition was against the increasingly powerful Tatar tribe Arutai. Arutai had once defeated the Wala and controlled Uliangha. After Arutai was defeated by the Ming army, the Wala raised its head again and was happy. That is, Ye Xian's father, in 1416, the fourteenth year of Yongle, defeated Arutai again and killed Arutai who fled to the east. By now, Wala was unstoppable, and Huantuo supported Detuo, who had golden blood. Tuobuhua unified the entire Mongolia, and the overall strength of Oara during this period had surpassed the Tatar tribe of the Yongle Dynasty.
The Northern Expedition of Xuanzong and Zhu Qizhen was to deal with the Wala. Although it was a victory, it did not deal a fatal blow to the Wala. It had little impact on their overall strength. All the strategic goals of the Ming army were to conquer the powerful. The tribe was beaten down and plunged back into chaos.
All the generals have experienced hundreds of battles, and of course they know that opportunities are rare.
At this time, the actual combat effectiveness of the Ming army was not much worse than that of the Mongols. Coupled with their superb firearms, they were even stronger than the Mongols in field battles.
The Yongle Dynasty and the Xuanzong Dynasty fought one to one with Mongolia.
Finding the Mongols is more difficult than defeating them.
Because of the Tumu Fort Incident caused by Zhu Qizhen, these arrogant generals had to put away their tails that were raised in the sky.
Otherwise, the country will be destroyed. Anyone who dares to be careless can only choose the most reliable defense plan.
The Mongolian army was arrogant, but the Ming army did not give in at all. Hundreds of artillery pieces continued to spit out tongues of fire, and shells hit the archery team of the Mongolian army's rear army one after another, causing great casualties and interference to the Mongolian army.
At this time, the first Mongolian soldiers had already climbed onto the city wall, and hand-to-hand combat took place on various walls.
The shouts of killing filled the air.
"Brothers, kill all these barbarians and take revenge for our dead soldiers."
"Son of a bitch, who the hell asked you to climb up here?"
The sound of war drums, shouts and curses, and the clanging of weapons were endless.
Guo Deng took out his two axes, pushed back the soldiers around him, and headed towards the nearby Mongolian soldiers. The soldiers were afraid that the general would make a mistake, so they also chased after him.
At this time, the archers of the Mongolian army stopped firing arrows, put their crossbows on their backs, drew out their scimitars, and headed towards Datong City with a loud shout.
Press the whole line.
There are regulations for the defense of the city wall. Those who throw stones must keep throwing stones, and those who shoot firecrackers must still be punished for firing firecrackers. Even if Mongolian soldiers rush up, you cannot escape before the battle. There are dedicated troops to deal with these climbers. Mongols on the city wall.
The situation was chaotic.
Mongolian soldiers kept climbing up from a gap, but the Ming army was on the city wall, crazily squeezing the Mongols' space. If some people died, the people behind would step on the bodies of their companions and continue to move forward, while the Mongols The same goes for people.
After they reach the city wall, they must first hold on to this breakthrough point. Holding the space will allow more companions to climb the city wall. In other words, holding the space is holding the opportunity for victory.
However, the Ming army also knew this, and without fear of death, they wiped out the space occupied by the Mongols and then filled the gap.
As soon as a Mongolian soldier climbed up the city wall, he was hit on the head with an ax by Guo Deng beside him. Half of his head was smashed beyond recognition and fell down.
"Take up the defense, make up the defense." Guo Denggao shouted.
Then dozens of Ming troops blocked the gap again, moved the ladders, lifted rocks and continued to hit the Mongolian soldiers.
The Ming army on the city wall fought bravely to kill the enemy and knocked down the Mongolian soldiers who climbed up the city wall. The gaps were filled one by one, but under the fierce attack of the Mongolian army, the gaps were opened again.
The two sides started a fierce hand-to-hand battle on the city wall.
The Mongolian soldiers who climbed up saw the corpses of their companions being thrown down one by one. They were all afraid, and their movements were slightly slower. The slower they were, the less support the Mongolian soldiers on the city wall received, and they gradually fell. As they gradually lost ground, more and more Mongolian soldiers died on the city wall.
The Ming army subsidized the gap faster and faster, but the Mongolian soldiers broke through at a slower pace.
One goes down and the other goes up.
The fighting on the city wall became less and less, and the Mongolian troops who were climbing began to retreat and retreated downwards.
Ming soldiers were thrown down one by one, whether alive or dead.
"The Mongols are running away, the Mongols are running away."
A Ming army noticed the situation below the city and shouted.
After killing a Mongolian, the red-eyed Guo Deng looked towards the bottom of the city. Sure enough, the Mongolian army retreated further, and the overall formation was in disarray.
He grinned twice. Then he swung his giant ax and slashed at another Mongolian.
By the Ming Dynasty, there were very few generals who would charge into battle and take the lead, because a general was the backbone of the entire army. If a general charged into battle and died under random arrows, the entire army would be leaderless and lead to a great defeat.
But Guo Deng was so depressed these days that he ended up personally.
Zhu Shou saw the Mongolian army retreating, and then ordered the trebuchets to operate, while hundreds of artillery pieces continued to bombard the Mongolian army.
During the retreat, thousands of Mongolian troops were killed.
The entire Datong City is like an ancient wild beast that can devour lives. Even if it devours hundreds of thousands of lives, it will not be satisfied.
He first looked at the retreating Mongolian army, his eyes gradually blurred.
"Grand Master, please lead your troops to attack the city." He also said to the general under his tent, A Ci.
He also waved his hand to refuse.
"Now is not the time to move our own troops." He also refused Ala at first, and then ordered the army to retreat fifty miles.
