The Mongolian cavalry resisted the Ming army's artillery fire. After reaching the shooting distance, they bent their bows and fired.
The arrows were like a rain of arrows directed at the Ming army on the city wall.
Most of the Ming troops at Zijingguan had not participated in the war, and they were suddenly in a panic. Some people tied up their shields, some could only crawl under the city wall, and some were shot by arrows and had no strength to fight anymore.
After shooting arrows, the Mongolian cavalry would turn around and retreat from both sides to make room for the Mongolian infantry attacking the city.
Because of the intrusion from this burst of arrows, the firing speed of the artillery was much slower.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Mongolian army crossed the moat at a minimal cost and began their battle to seize the city.
Aerial ladders were placed on the city wall, and then the Mongolian army held up their shields and climbed up the boulders facing the arrows of the Ming army.
The artillery was still roaring, and people gradually became red-eyed.
The Mongolian army was having a hard time fighting on the city wall, and the Ming army was in very bad shape.
Han Qing pulled out his broadsword, and then said to Sun Xiang beside him: "Sun Yushi, you go down to the city wall first. After I block this Mongolian attack, I will go to find you."
Seeing more and more Mongolian soldiers ascending the city wall, Sun Xiang also knew that it was useless for him to stay here, so he immediately got off the city wall to make other preparations.
After Han Qing watched Sun Xiang leave, he also rushed into the Mongols on the city wall and started fighting.
As soon as the battle started at Zijingguan, the Mongolian army had the upper hand.
Because although the Ming army could fight the Mongols in hand-to-hand combat with their enthusiasm, they had not really defended the city and lacked experience. Although Han Qing had warned him in advance, but now he saw the Mongols coming up, Dang even forgot about the mission assigned to them by Han Qing and began to attack the Mongols.
And they abandoned their defensive positions, and more and more Mongolian soldiers climbed up the city wall.
The battle becomes increasingly difficult.
Han Qing kept slashing and killing the Mongolian soldiers, whose bodies were already covered with blood. He didn't know whether it was his own or the Mongolians'.
The Ming army's battle on the city wall became increasingly difficult, while more Mongolian soldiers crossed the moat and kept hitting the city gate with the doorposts.
And the hundreds of Ming troops inside the city gate tried their best to hold up the gate, trying to keep the city gate.
A few miles away, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Looking at this situation, it should only take half a day to win the Bauhinia Pass.
But he underestimated the endurance of the Ming army and overestimated the courage of his own Mongol warriors.
Although the Ming army was at a disadvantage as a whole, they fought tenaciously.
Just like what Han Qing said before the war started, they had no way to retreat.
Even if there is no way out, how can one say failure?
Once I have the thought of relaxing, I will think of my elderly parents who were trampled and slaughtered by the Mongolian iron hoof, my wife and sisters were arbitrarily insulted by the Mongols, and these cruel prairie barbarians would also provoke their four or five-year-old children with machetes. Laughing wantonly, as if laughing at another of their cowardly fathers on the battlefield.
They don't allow this to happen.
They will not retreat, nor can they retreat.
Cowardice, cowardice, and fear are all gone at this moment. All enemies are coming. Only by killing all the Mongols in front of you can you protect your peaceful home from intrusion.
Even if he dies, he must die at the moment of battle. Even if he dies, he must take a bite of Mongolian flesh and blood.
The Ming army, which had never seen blood, did not collapse as expected, but became more courageous as they fought.
Their courage and their determination to defend their motherland and homeland gradually reversed the situation.
After three days of rapid march, the Mongolian army was already very weak. They had been fighting for a long time and their physical strength could not keep up.
The Ming army fought more and more fiercely, and the Mongolian army on the city wall gradually couldn't support it.
Before Ye Xian's smile dissipated, he saw some Mongolian soldiers who had attacked the city wall retreating again.
A Ci, who was standing aside, saw that Ye Xian's face was getting ugly, and he immediately said, "Grand Master, let me step forward to supervise the battle."
Supervising the battle is not simply to suppress the formation, but to block the rear. If the Mongolian soldiers are in danger of being defeated, these war supervisors will shoot the retreating Mongolian soldiers to death and behead them on the spot.
The Mongols have a long history of supervising battles in front of battle lines.
After pondering for a while, he said: "Zijing Pass is very important to us and must be held in our hands. A Ci will supervise the battle in front of the formation."
"Yes, Master."
After receiving the order, Aci rode out on a horse and led his own army horses to gallop out. After they broke a position, several Oara soldiers blew their horns.
If the Mongolian soldiers who were attacking and wanted to retreat heard the sound of the horn, they would be excited and would not dare to retreat.
The sound of this horn is the signal to supervise the battle.
Once this voice sounds, it has become a tradition that no matter what your status is in the tribe, as long as you dare to retreat, you will be killed on the spot.
The Mongolian army, which had no way out, became even more crazy.
Only by killing all these Ming troops can they survive.
For the Ming army, they also wanted to kill all these hateful invaders.
This is a confrontation between two nations, a confrontation of iron and blood, a confrontation with no retreat.
The passing of life seems to be an insignificant thing to the soldiers fighting at Zijingguan.
"Mom and dad, the eldest son can only repay the kindness of raising you in this life in the next life."
"I don't know if my child is a boy or a girl. If it's a boy, will it be as strong as me? If it's a girl, will it be as beautiful as his mother."
"Madam, your old man fought very bravely and killed several Mongolians. I can't go home anymore. Take good care of my parents and children."
"Old guy, your son didn't embarrass you, and he didn't pee his pants when he saw the Mongolians as you said. You always take good care of yourself. Your son will go over there and wait for you."
…………
Countless Ming troops fell, leaving this world with their unwillingness and their passion.
Leaving the land that gave birth to and raised him.
More and more Mongols climbed up the city walls, but the Ming army gradually became unable to hold on and the Mongols captured several city walls.
At this time, although most of the people in Zijin Pass had been transferred to Beijing, tens of thousands of strong men were left to help defend the city.
In the arms room at Zijingguan, tens of thousands of strong men were hurriedly putting on armor and picking up weapons they had never used before.
And Sun Xiang also changed his armor early.
Although he was a scholar, he was willing to sacrifice his life for the Ming Dynasty. Even if he had no power to restrain a chicken, he would die in the battle with the Mongols.
Only in this way can we live up to the Ming monarch and live up to the people.
Sun Xiang was holding a long knife in his hand. It was very difficult to swing it, so how could he fight the Mongols? biquge.biz
"Folks, if the officers and soldiers on the city wall cannot stop the Mongols, then we will be the last line of defense at Zijingguan. Beijing must have enough time to prepare."
"What we are protecting is not the country, but our relatives who have been transferred to the city of Beijing a long time ago. The barbarians are brutal. If the city of Beijing is lost, our relatives will no longer be safe."
"I am a young man who is not talented, but I am willing to risk my life to fight against the national calamity."
"Folks, kill all the Mongolians who destroy our peaceful life. Only by killing them can we be reunited with our relatives and return to normal life as soon as possible."
"If we all die fighting here, Daming will support our parents and raise our children. All we have to do is mention Daming and guard Bauhinia Pass for our relatives so that they can go home as soon as possible."
After Sun Xiang finished speaking, he was panting and had tears in his eyes. He was also afraid, but his family, country and society were the most important, so some of his fears, and even his own life, seemed insignificant.
After hearing Sun Xiang's words, the people who helped defend the city were in high spirits.
"Kill all those Mongolian Tatars."
"Yes, kill them all. We Ming men also pee standing up. Who would be afraid of them?"
