The most reckless man in the Ming Dynasty.

Chapter 355: Unpleasant Battle
The Ming army issued an order.

No firearms are allowed.

Because the Mongolian right wing, which was lurking around, had not yet appeared.

The real target of the Ming army was not these cunning and changeable Uriankhai bastards, but the Mongolian right-wing cavalry under Yibula!

So they had to win this battle, but they couldn't win too easily, or they would scare away the right-wing Mongolian barbarians who were lurking in the dark.

This means that the soldiers of the Beijing Army cannot use firearms and can only engage in a bloody hand-to-hand combat with these Uriankhai bastards.

An Guo quickly ordered his men to issue an order. Although the soldiers of the Beijing Army found it difficult to understand the order, they had become accustomed to following orders after long-term training, and obedience to orders had long been engraved in their bones.

The young man, who was in his early thirties, had a full beard and a fierce look. He held a jeweled scimitar and laughed triumphantly: "Ha Luo, what on earth are these stupid Ming people thinking?"

"Their walls on both sides have not been repaired yet. There are only some low side walls and chevaux de frise. The warriors can take them down with a single charge. There are also so many Huza (a derogatory term for Han people). If we capture them all and make them slaves, or sell them to the Tatars, the tribe will surely become wealthy!"

Gelie Luo also showed a ferocious smile and said: "The Ming people have been scared by us for a long time. When we looted Dushikou last time, those Ming army generals actually offered us silver and asked us to spare them and attack other military forts. It was simply a huge joke!"

This phenomenon is not uncommon.

Since the Ming Dynasty lost Daning and other first lines of defense, wars broke out in the nine borders and barbarians continued to plunder and harass.

Especially after the Ming Dynasty lost the Hetao Plain, Hetao became a pasture for the Mongolian barbarians. They used it as a springboard to attack left and right, move south and west, and frequently harassed the military towns along the border of the Ming Dynasty and the hinterland, burning, killing, looting and committing all kinds of atrocities. The military and civilians in the nine borders had long been miserable.

Therefore, showing weakness to the Mongolian barbarians and even offering them silver and asking them to go plunder elsewhere seems ridiculous, but this is the sad and helpless situation that the soldiers and civilians in the nine borders have in order to live in peace.

If the imperial court attached importance to the nine borders and border defense, and the border troops were strong, they would have gone out of the border and driven these barbarians out of the Hetao area long ago. There would be no need for them to beg for mercy like this!
Although Glehaoluo and his children and grandsons looked down on the weak two-legged sheep, it did not mean that they were brainless fools. While they were looking at the steel behemoth from afar, the Ming people must have noticed themselves.

But what puzzled both of them was that the tens of thousands of "ants" did not show any panic or movement, but were still busy with their city-building tasks in an orderly manner!
It seems that in the eyes of these Ming people, building a city is the most important thing, and even life and death can be ignored!

How abnormal!
This made Gregory and his children and grandchildren a little unsure.

Where do these damn two-legged people get the confidence?

Or have they forgotten the fear they felt when being chased by the Doyan warriors?
Or does it mean that someone has set a trap on the plain in front of us close to East City?
For safety reasons, after discussing with his children and grandchildren, Gregory decided to play it safe.

So they ordered fifty scouts to go forward and walk the entire plain in front of them. Even though they were only a few feet away from Dongsheng City, the Ming people turned a deaf ear to them and did not even see a single garrison guard, let alone launch an attack!
“Are these two-legged sheep crazy?”

Grehe Luo and his children and grandchildren looked at each other and saw the confusion and puzzlement in each other's eyes.

The behavior of these "Hu Zha" people in front of me is really abnormal!
After a moment's silence, the violent-tempered son and grandson suddenly turned red in the face and started cursing in anger.

He felt an unprecedented sense of humiliation, which made him furious!

This feeling is called contempt, or even disregard!
They are the notorious Doyan cavalry, but today they were ignored by the weak two-legged sheep!
During the lifelong battles of his descendants, he encountered countless difficult enemies. Both the Tatars and the Oirat had fought with the Uriankhai tribe.

Some of them are brutal and cruel, some are fearless, and some are unparalleled in riding and shooting, but these people definitely do not include the weak and frail people of the Ming Dynasty!

After the Tumu Campaign, the Ming people could only hide within the high city walls and watch themselves lead their troops to plunder and massacre their compatriots and relatives. Even though they had sharp weapons called "firearms" in their hands, they dared not even fart!
The ferocity of the Doyan warriors has been engraved into their bones, so that they can no longer stand up straight!

I have never experienced the pleasure of being respected by the people of the Ming Dynasty today. Instead, I enjoyed the humiliation of being ignored by them!

These vulnerable two-legged sheep before their eyes actually brought the Doyan warriors humiliation they had not experienced in many years!

As they cursed their children and grandchildren, the five thousand Duoyan warriors realized that the Ming people dared to ignore them. Anger instantly filled their hearts and their breathing became increasingly rapid.

"My men, rush in and kill all these damn two-legged sheep!"

"Let their blood wash away our shame!"

"Kill all these lowly Huzas!"

He led the charge with his children and grandchildren at the forefront. He wanted to use the scimitar in his hand to tell everyone: in the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies will be useless!
They, the Doyan warriors, are invincible in the world!

In an instant, shouts and screams shook the sky.

When these Doyan cavalrymen heard this, they all shouted loudly. As professional robbers, they appeared to be extremely professional. They pushed out more than ten shield carts from the team. The shield carts were full of flags, and a group of slaves followed behind them, slowly rushing towards the top of the city.

woo woo woo...

The horn suddenly sounded, and An Guo was startled!
These Wuliangha bastards didn't even take a break and started attacking the city directly!
You really don't take me seriously!
If you dare to look down on me, I will make you look down upon me!
Even if we don't use firearms, you bastards are no match for the Beijing Army!
Wang Qiong ordered the craftsmen to stop their work and hide in the fortifications that had been built long ago.

After all, no matter whether it is the Uriankhai bastards or the Mongolian Tartars, they are famous for their unparalleled riding and archery skills. On the battlefield, swords and knives are blind, and who knows if a stray arrow will hit you and take your life!
Next, it will depend on the soldiers of An Guo and the Beijing army.

An Guo was not anxious, but observed carefully. The Wuliangha bastards under the city dispatched twelve shield carts, and behind the shield carts there were about one or two hundred slave auxiliary soldiers, some carrying shields and swords, some carrying ladders, and some carrying bows and arrows.

They were getting closer and closer, already within sixty steps, and the soldiers on the city wall could even hear their panting.

But An Guo still did not issue any orders, and the Beijing army did not launch an attack, but watched these bastards continue to approach the city wall.

Finally, the Uriankhai slaves pushed the shield carts to within twenty or thirty steps of the city wall!
The Uriankhai warriors who had been hiding behind the shield carts rushed out one after another, pushed away the deer horns and other objects under the city, and the slaves carrying ladders behind them quickly rushed towards the top of the city.

According to the usual rules of siege, there should be the sounds of bows and arrows and muskets from the top of the city at this time.

But at this time, the top of Dongsheng City was eerily quiet, as if it was an empty city.

This abnormality made Gregory and his children and grandchildren feel uneasy.

But he didn't think much about it and shouted: "Kill them!"

As long as we rush to the top of the city wall and break into the city, no matter what conspiracies and tricks these Ming people have, their end will be death!
"Come on!"

The Uriankhai warriors climbed the ladders and quickly rushed to the top of the city wall. They climbed so fast that they were less than ten feet away from the top of the city wall.

dong dong dong!
Just at this moment, the sound of deep drums suddenly rang out!
The silent Dongsheng City seemed to suddenly come alive at this moment!
Countless soldiers suddenly emerged from behind the battlements. They picked up stones and threw them madly like rain, catching the Tartars off guard.

A Tartar who was climbing up with his head raised was hit head-on. The iron fragments stuck on the stone pierced his throat. Blood spurted out like an arrow. His body fell heavily to the ground. Two Doyan barbarians who were following closely behind him were knocked down by his body. A rolling log happened to fall from above. Both barbarians were hit so hard that they spurted blood and were about to die!
The first wave of Doyan barbarians who rushed to the top of the city were all affected. Twenty to thirty people were hit and wailed in pain.

The Doyan barbarians were also startled by the sudden attack, but they quickly calmed down. The archers behind the shield carts rushed out and shot arrows frantically.

laugh!
A soldier who was swinging his sword to chop the ladder was hit by an arrow in the forehead and fell in a pool of blood. Soon after, five or six more soldiers were injured.

The archery skills of the Doyan barbarians are indeed amazing, not much inferior to those of the Mongolian Tartars. Their arrows are accurate and fierce, and they specifically shoot at the face and neck. Even with the protection of armor, the soldiers suffer constant casualties!
The counterattack on the city wall suddenly weakened a lot. The Doyan barbarians took this opportunity to regroup and hundreds of barbarians crawled towards the top of the city wall under cover.

Seeing this situation, An Guo remained indifferent and strictly prohibited the soldiers from using firearms or even bows and arrows.

Of course he understood the principle that a kind army cannot be commanded.

In order to accomplish the tasks assigned by Marquis Zhongshan and His Majesty the Emperor, An Guo can only do this now.

Deliberately show weakness to lure the Mongolian right wing into the trap!

"Hand-to-hand combat!"

"Kill all the barbarians who climb onto the city walls!"

An Guo drew his sword and personally led the fight. He cut the ladder in half with one blow. Three Duoyan barbarians fell down and began wailing.

Soon two more barbarians came forward. They saw the armor on An Guo and knew that he was a Ming general, so they couldn't wait to make great contributions!

For a moment, there were cries of killing on the top of the city, and the situation seemed precarious.

At this moment, on the hillside not far away in the direction of West City, Man Dulai was looking at the scene in front of him with suspicion.

Since the Ming army had the courage to rebuild Dongsheng City, why did they send such a ridiculous garrison?

How long has it been since the Duoyan bastards stormed onto the top of the city wall?

Are you guys here to make fun of me?

Is it possible that there is not even a bow and arrow?

Just let the Duoyan bastards easily charge onto the city walls?
Seeing that Dongsheng City was about to fall into the hands of the Duoyan bastards, Mandulai could no longer sit still.

You have to know that there are tens of thousands of Han slaves here!
This is undoubtedly a huge fortune on the grassland!

How can I just give it to Duoyan's bastards for nothing!

"Blow the horn!"

"My men, charge in!"

"Let everyone witness the bravery of the Mongolian heroes!"
