Go back to the Ming Dynasty to be a thousand households

Chapter 149 Unfavorable Shadow
"Clap clap clap."

When the Mongolian cavalrymen rushed to sixty paces, the javelins on the city wall blared, and in the smog, a large group of Mongolian cavalrymen screamed and fell down. Coupled with the frightened neighing of the horses, the battlefield was in chaos.

When we rushed closer, the big arrows from the city came like rain, and the four tiger cannons fired in unison. Amidst the loud noise and the sound of fire and light, the choking smell of gunpowder spread everywhere, and the countless gunpowder shots fired by the four tiger cannons The pill, like a big broom, swept down a large group of Mongolian cavalry, whether they were men or horses, to the ground with blood and flesh.

That shrill scream came from far away, and when it reached the ears of Pretu who was behind the formation, he couldn't help clenching his fists in pain. He had already lost nearly a hundred warriors before he even touched the opponent's city wall. , These are the elite of the clan, they are useless to be spent here today.And some of his relatives beside him had very ugly expressions when they saw the brutality of the battle.

Among the more than 500 Mongolian soldiers of the Bushitu tribe who attacked the city, they lost nearly [-]% in a short time.The reason why the damage was so heavy was because of the terrain of Sancha Fort.There are only two gates in Sancha Fort, one is the west gate and the other is the south gate.The northeast is backed by mountains, the terrain is dangerous, and people and horses cannot pass through. Of course, there is no city gate.The south gate faces Wuzhai Fort and is near the Zhujia River. Of course, the Mongols would not come here to attack the city.

On the side of the siege, there is only a small field between the two hills in front of the west gate. In this kind of terrain, it is impossible for the troops to spread out.Nature is the best target.

After finally rushing to the bottom of the city wall, those Mongolian soldiers of the Bushitu tribe threw iron claws and flying cables, threw them on the city wall, and took advantage of the momentum of leaving their horses to climb up desperately. The crude siege ladders made of trees are also desperately approaching the city gate.The rest of the Mongolian soldiers took out their horned bows, roaring and shooting arrows behind their horses to cover the attack of these Mongolian soldiers.

The soldiers of Wuzhaibao on the city ran back and forth. Under the command of their respective captains, banner chiefs, and hundred chiefs, the musketeers and archers kept shooting at the Mongolian rangers below the city, and the pungent white smoke filled the air. , Iron arrows flew across.The soldiers of Wuzhai Fort relied on the convenient location, while the Mongolian rangers under the city relied on their archery skills, and the two sides fought inseparably.

Of course, those Mongolian rangers who shoot arrows under the city must be careful not to gather together in a dense manner, so as not to become the target of the tiger squatting guns of the Wuzhaibao army on the city.The horn bows used for riding and shooting are inherently weak, and they can only be lethal within thirty steps, and they cannot gather together to form a suppressive arrow rain.In this way, their support for the Mongolian soldiers who ascended the city was even smaller.

On the Guancheng, the Wuzhaibao fighters from the Killer Bureau with cold weapons either held hooks and sickles to push down the battle ladder, or kept throwing rolling wood and rocks down the city, or cut off the iron chains thrown up, so that the Mongolian soldier They fell to death and were injured, or hacked to death with knives or stabbed to death with spears the Mongolian soldiers who had managed to climb the city.Above and below the city, there was a deafening sound of shouting and killing.

"withstand!"

General Ding Chaoyong held a big knife and shouted wildly. He led a group of more than a hundred officers and soldiers, and ran back and forth on the city wall.

At this time, a battle ladder had reached the top of the city, and a Mongolian soldier's head poked out, and the two Wuzhai Fort sergeants guarding the crenel nearby were killed in battle. Ding Chao didn't have time to think about it, and rushed away In the past, as soon as that Mongolian soldier jumped in, he slashed at the head of that Mongolian soldier.

The Mongolian soldier fell into the city wall, rolled on the ground and screamed loudly, but survived for a while.Ding Chaoyong couldn't care less about drawing a knife, nor caring about wounding people with iron nails. With his own strength, he picked up a thick log full of iron nails, yelled, and threw it towards the city. The four Mongolian soldiers who were crawling on the battle ladder were smashed to a pulp by this thick log full of iron nails.

Immediately, two Wuzhaibao sergeants came over to take up the position, and two more, with their heads lowered, turned the winch, and twisted the log full of iron thorns tied with thick ropes back to the top of the city for the next time. use.

The Mongolian soldier was still twitching on the ground, Ding Chao pulled the knife back from his head, chopped off his head, and exhaled softly, this time is probably the most difficult battle for Wuzhaibao to form an army In the past, the army of Wuzhai Fort had only fought against horse bandits at most. How could there have been such dangerous battles?But presumably after this battle, the recruits in his division will all become mature veterans.

Hearing the sound of horns not far away, the Mongolian soldiers who were about to attack the city retreated like a tide.

The Mongols retreated, and immediately there was cheers from the city.Ding Chaoyong and several hundred bosses also laughed. It seems that the outsiders have rumored that the murderous thief is nothing more than that.

It is estimated that in this battle, there were more than ten casualties on the own side, but more than two hundred people were killed and wounded on the other side, which is considered a big victory.

※※※

There was cheering on the Sancha Fort, but the Mongolian army was silent, especially the leaders such as Zhulite and Pretu. The Ming army along the way was very different, and the prospect of this plunder may not be so good.

But Pretu was even more heartbroken. He lost more than 2000 people in this battle. Among the more than [-] troops sent, he lost nearly [-]% of his troops in the blink of an eye. These are all excellent fighters in the clan. How can he go back Explain to the tribe.For the Mongols, warriors are the most precious, and if they lose [-]%, the clan will be devastated. After all, their main mission is to rob.

More importantly, after losing these people, I have nothing to gain.Thinking of this, Preto couldn't help feeling resentful toward Zhuo Lite.

For Zhuo Lite, the soldiers of the Bushitu tribe attacked the city this time, and they had already achieved their goal of testing the combat strength of the Wuzhaibao army, and that was enough.As for what Preto was thinking, he didn't take it to heart.

He comforted Pretu by the way, leaving 500 troops behind to monitor the movement of the Sancha Fort army, and then most of the troops bypassed Sancha Fort from the southwest hills and headed for Wuzhai Fort.

There were 500 troops left, of course they didn't dare to make plans in Sancha Fort, they just watched from a distance, even the Sancha Fort army came out to cut off the head and clean up the spoils, they didn't pay attention.

Focusing on cheering up his spirits, he led a group of Mongolian cavalry, crossed the Zhujiachuan River covered with thick ice, and rushed towards Wuzhai Fort in a murderous manner.

After entering the boundary of Wuzhai Fort, all the Mongolian soldiers waved their weapons, roared and howled, and galloped on the concrete road built by Wuzhai Fort.Everyone's eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty look, thinking that when they pass by some villages, they must kill and loot for a while, and vent their Mongolian warrior's passion in front of those powerless Daming women and children. tough.

But slowly, the shouts of the Mongolian soldiers became quieter.This concrete road is built along the south bank of Qinglian River. On both sides of Qinglian River, there are endless fields. From Sanchabao to Wuzhaibao, there are some farms dotted from time to time. The wall is thick, and the strength of defense is even worse than that of Sancha Fort.

On both sides of the Qinglian River, this is where Wuzhai Fort was first developed, and the farms are densely distributed. In the eyes of these Mongolians, it seems that every few miles, there is a strong military fort no less than Sancha Fort. .The forts were already heavily guarded, and everyone on those forts was fully armed. After seeing their own large group of troops, they did not panic, but looked at themselves coldly, as if they were looking at a large group of prey , That feeling is very uncomfortable.

All he saw were thick military fortresses, but none of the villages and small towns where the Mongolian warriors could show their might.The closer they got to Wuzhai Fort, the heavier the feeling of being surrounded by the Mongolian soldiers became.

Finally, Zhulite led thousands of Mongolian soldiers and ran to the foot of Wuzhai Fort. When they saw Wuzhai Fort, all the Mongolian soldiers felt even colder. They saw that Wuzhai Fort was bigger than Sancha Fort. Several times, and the city wall is taller and thicker, and the outside is covered with something called cement, which is extremely solid.There are horse faces on the city walls, and there are suspension bridges on the city gates, so there must be an urn inside.

For such a strong city, don't say that you have thousands of people, or tens of thousands of people. Without perfect siege equipment, you don't want to break through Wuzhai Fort.

Zhuo Lite was dumbfounded, and finally heaved a long sigh in his heart, thinking: "Longevity is God, this time coming to Wuzhai Fort, is it a disaster or a blessing?"

"Has the thief come?"

In the guerrilla mansion, after hearing Jiang Dazhong's report, Huang Laifu smiled slightly, and finally teased his precious son Huang Dalang. His son is already 5 months old. The voice, coupled with the chubbyness, is very endearing.

Not only their grandparents, grandparents, but everyone in the house are all precious.His mother, Gu Yunniang, loved her even more.

At this time, after hearing Jiang Dazhong's report, Gu Yunniang also said to Huang Laifu with some worry: "Master, are the tartars here? You have to be careful."

Huang Laifu smiled and said: "Don't worry, my good lady, are you still worried about your husband's ability?"

He patted his wife's white and greasy face, and amidst Gu Yunniang's coquettish voice, he put on his armor and went to the city wall accompanied by a group of servants.On the way, he met father-in-law Ma Jiuying, the military supervisor, who was coming.

Hearing that thousands of Tartars came to Wuzhai Fort, the father-in-law's face was a little pale, he grabbed Huang Laifu's hand, and said nervously: "Master Huang, the captives are powerful, can Wuzhai Fort be held?"

Huang Laifu laughed loudly and said, "Elder-in-law is too worried. Just a few thousand captives want to spy on my Wuzhai Fort? Even tens of thousands more will not be a problem. This time, I will let those captives know that they want to eat my Wuzhai Fort." Fortress, it's not that easy!"

"Hey hey hey hey hey hey, that's good, then our family can rest assured..."
