The cavalry of the Ming army formed outside, not a last-ditch battle, but a charge before victory.
The person who was arranged to be the commander-in-chief was Shi Heng.
With 60,000 cavalry, Shi Heng had never fought such a wealthy battle.
The drums on the city wall gradually sounded, deafening.
The old, weak, women and children in the city all moved to the inner city, and those who stayed in the outer city were all strong men who had taken arms, numbering more than 200,000.
This was also arranged by Yu Qian in advance.
The country is destroyed and the family is safe.
Regardless of whether you are a commoner selling sesame seed cakes on the street or a young master from a noble squire's family, as long as you are between the ages of sixteen and forty, you must stay in the outer city and defend the inner city.
Yu Qian knew very well that the Mongolian army could not break through the walls of Beijing at all. Mobilizing these young people was, first, to boost the morale of the Ming army, second, to gather people's hearts, and third, to let the officials in the court take a look, and the people's hearts could be used. , the Ming Dynasty is safe.
Sure enough, for a while, the young people were proud to stay in the outer city to protect their families. The morale of the Ming army was high. How could civilians be used to protect the people of the Ming Dynasty.
The sound of war drums carried far away.
Zhu Jianshen and Empress Dowager Sun in the deep palace could also hear it.
Although he knew that the Ming army would not be defeated, Zhu Jianshen was still a little nervous.
This is not a game. If you fail to pass this level, you can save it and rebirth. This is a war about a country and a nation with millions of lives.
Even the confident Yu Qian might be nervous.
The Forbidden City, the center of the Ming Dynasty, is very quiet.
It seems that the battle outside the city has nothing to do with the Forbidden City.
The Yangxin Palace was also very quiet. The maids and eunuchs serving in the palace lowered their heads and did not dare to make any noise.
Empress Dowager Sun also had a hint of worry in her eyes.
Boom, boom, boom.
The sound of cannon bombardment came over at this time.
Zhu Jianshen did not hide in his grandma's arms like other young children, but got down from the dragon chair and walked out of the hall.
Empress Dowager Sun also immediately stood up and followed Zhu Jianshen.
A group of eunuchs and maids immediately gathered around, half-bowing and half-stretching their arms, fearing that Zhu Jianshen would fall. After leaving the Yangxin Hall, Zhu Jianshen raised his head and looked at the Empress Dowager Sun and said, "Grandma Huang, is your father now?" It’s just outside the city.”
"She should be there, Grandma Huang doesn't know either."
"That's great. It means that after Shangshu drives away the Mongolian Tatars, he can bring back my father, the emperor, and he can also bring back Grandma Huang's son."
Empress Dowager Sun just nodded silently when she heard this. She only regarded Zhu Jianshen's words as the childish words of a child.
It is almost impossible to bring Zhu Qizhen back safely amid the chaos.
Zhu Jianshen said this just to show his ignorance and his simple filial piety. Of course, he knew that rescuing Zhu Qizhen would be tantamount to reaching heaven, and deep down in his heart, he was not willing to let his father come back.
You'd better eat mutton in Mongolia for a few more years, otherwise your son will be in trouble.
Outside Beijing.
When Dang Ye first saw the Ming army forming an organic formation outside, he was greatly surprised. He immediately ordered the entire army to attack and kill all the Ming troops who came out of the city.
The physical fitness of the Mongolians is indeed somewhat behind.
However, the horn of victory was blowing ahead, and they could only cheer up, mount their horses again, and charge towards Beijing City with their scimitars brandished.
Shi Heng saw the Mongolian army rushing towards him without any fear.
The main target of the Mongolian army was Deshengmen where Shi Heng was located.
This is a cavalry duel.
The two most powerful nations in the world today, riding their horses and waving their weapons, fought a battle in Beijing that would be recorded in history.
This time, he did not take command from the rear. He led his own Oara army to charge forward.
He is excited, his scimitar wants to drink blood, he wants to be the first to climb the top of Beijing City, and he wants to complete the task that his ancestors have not completed.
At this time, his enemy Yu Qian was standing at the top of the city, watching the Mongolian army intently. M.biQuge.biZ
Arrived, arrived.
"Throw stones." Yu Qian shouted. The herald nearby immediately waved the flag, and the herald standing on the corner tower also began to wave the flag toward the city.
Six hundred trebuchets placed in the city began to drop flint.
Pieces of flint smashed into the ranks of the Mongolian army with deadly flames, and countless people fell.
But their companions won't back down.
After reaching a certain position, the Mongolian army ushered in a second round of artillery attack.
This caused the Mongols to suffer even greater casualties.
But at this moment, the Mongols had no way out and could only follow their Taishi to charge. Only by rushing into Beijing and enjoying the luxury of the Han people could they be worthy of their wandering journey.
Wait until the Mongolian army has passed the artillery bombing area.
Shi Biao saw the handsome flag on the corner tower and said to Shi Heng: "Uncle, let's kill him."
"Kill quickly, charge." Shi Heng shouted.
The good men of the Han family rode their horses and charged towards their old enemy.
Shi Heng and Shi Biao took the lead and rushed into the enemy's formation.
Using both swords and axes, he was extremely brave and killed several Mongolian cavalry with just a few touches.
Then he led his people deep into the enemy's position and disrupted the Mongolian offensive formation.
The two armies started a bloody battle under the walls of Beijing. When they first came into contact, the Ming army was slightly outmatched due to lack of combat experience, and suffered more casualties than the Mongolian army.
One by one, the Ming soldiers fell off their horses, but the nine gates behind them were tightly closed. If the momentum of their advance was stopped, the Ming soldiers behind would obey the order and kill them.
They can only move forward.
After the Ming army paid a certain price, the situation gradually reversed, and the weakness of the Mongolian army's long-distance attack could no longer be hidden.
More and more Mongolians were killed and dismounted due to lack of physical strength.
The man who fought hard didn't notice it at first, but when he saw more and more Ming army cavalry around him and fewer and fewer soldiers on his side, he suddenly woke up. He looked back and saw that there were Many Mongolian cavalry stagnated.
The bellicose Mongols were actually afraid of fighting at this moment.
However, he was experienced in fighting first, so he restrained the horses and asked the messenger next to him to blow the retreat horn.
The call to retreat resounded throughout the battlefield.
The fighting Mongols couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this horn.
When the Mongolians lingering at the end heard the horn, they turned around and galloped away.
If they charge again, they will all die here.
They all began to retreat immediately.
But how could the Ming army, which had paid a huge price, let the Mongolian army leave easily.
During the retreat, thousands more Mongols died under the walls of Beijing.
Just when the Ming army was still about to fight.
War drums sounded from the city gate tower, telling them to stop their pursuit.
Shi Heng was slightly dissatisfied.
The artillery on the city gate once again spit out tongues of fire, reaping the lives of the Mongolian soldiers who fled in embarrassment.
After waiting beyond the range of artillery bombardment, flints from catapults followed one after another...
