Ming Empire

Chapter 110 The Bloody Battle Begins Here

It was finally dawn, and Chahan's troops also gathered in front of the formation in the mist, preparing to attack the city.

More than [-] heads of thousands of households gathered around Chahan, ready to accept the task.Everyone was full of excitement. The swords in the hands of the Mongolian warriors were already rusting, and they urgently needed the blood of the enemy to lubricate them.

Chahan pointed at the city of Datong with a whip in his hand, and asked loudly, "Everyone, today, the king hereby solemnly announces that whoever leads the army to attack the city of Datong first will receive the reward from the regent king. The property, as well as the women, are also selected. Ahem...you all listen, no one is allowed to retreat without the king's order, or they will be killed!"

The more than [-] heads of thousands of households under his command responded in unison. What Chahan said, they were so excited. Breaking through Datong, taking all the property, and robbing women at will, nothing is more tempting than these.The wealth of the Han people and the water spirit of the Han women made them yearn for it very much. The Mongol warriors couldn't wait to attack the city and snatch these things that made them salivate.

After receiving their orders, the heads of thousands of households returned to their teams and prepared to attack the city.Countless Mongolian cavalry began to move forward slowly, their wolf-like eyes fixed on Datong City not far away, just like the vicious beasts on the grassland, greedily staring at the prey in front of them.No one knows that they have become abandoned pawns of the Jurchens, and Dorgon and Dodo are preparing to use their heads and blood to arouse the hatred of the entire Kormi tribe.

The current Mongolian tribes are just Jiannu's eagle dogs and swords. Every time they go out to fight, they, like the Han army, act as cannon fodder. The Jurchens are always the last to kill, but not many Mongols understand the meaning of this. , They are always complacent about getting their master's approval.No one will think about it, their strength is getting weaker and weaker, and their strength is weakening in the vanguard time after time.

In comparison, the Han generals who surrendered all understood this truth, but they had no other choice. Those traitors had already gone to the point of no return. They could only slaughter their compatriots in exchange for their master's approval.

The horns of the charge blew, and all the Mongolian cavalry preparing to go to battle waved their sabers and demonstrated to Datong City in the distance.

Under Chahan's personal order, some captured Han people were pushed to the front of the battle, and the Mongols prepared to sacrifice them to the flag.Following Chahan's order, the heads of more than [-] struggling Han people held down by the Mongols were simply and neatly beheaded.A pile of heads rolled forward with hot blood gushing out before stopping.

The Han people's head sacrifice ceremony, the rolling head and the spurting blood further aroused the animal nature of the Mongols. They waved their swords again and shouted loudly:
"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

"Kill all the Han people!"

Amid the deafening shouts, the Mongolian cavalry slowly advanced forward. After advancing to a distance of about two miles from Datong City, the four thousand Mongolian cavalry in front dismounted. Carrying more than 200 ladders, they swarmed towards the North Gate of Datong.The following Mongolian cavalry continued to march, preparing to cover their companions' attacks with cavalry and shooting.

Cao Yue and Sun Chuanting personally commanded from the North Gate of Datong.

The north gate of Datong was the first target of Jiannu's southern attack, so any defender of Datong would deploy heavy troops in the direction of the north gate, and Cao Yue was the same.

At this time, Cao Yue, together with Sun Chuanting, was standing on the tower of the north gate, holding a telescope in his hand, quietly watching the movements of the Jiannu people.

"Cao Zongbing, I don't want to interfere with your command today, so I just want to sit here and see how you repelled the Jiannu siege!" Holding up the binoculars to check the situation for a while, Cao Yue didn't see much. After being nervous and afraid, Sun Chuanting couldn't help becoming curious. He didn't quite understand how Cao Yue defeated Jiannu in the city of Datong last time. Today he wanted to see how Cao Yue used his troops.

Also, he wanted to see for himself the combat effectiveness of the Datong Army.

"Okay, then let Mr. Sun see the fighting power of our Datong army!" Cao Yue smiled at Sun Chuanting very confidently, continued to hold up the binoculars to check the situation, and said while watching: "The first wave of Jiannu's attack was actually by the Mongols. I thought it was the Han army. Since the Mongols want to take the lead, let them have a good taste of the firearms of the Ming army, so that they will never dare to attack the cities of the Ming Dynasty again!"

As Cao Yue said, he put down the binoculars and loudly ordered Cao Jie who was waiting beside him: "All soldiers of the first battalion, get ready!"

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief," Cao Jie slapped his legs, saluted, and strode to his own position, ready to command the battle.

In front of Cao Jie, a thousand musketeers stood behind the parapet, looking out of the city through the shooting holes, aiming their muskets at the slowly approaching slave soldiers.They will be the first wave of soldiers to fire. Behind them, there are three teams of sergeants with guns on standby. They are going to make up the fire immediately after the first wave of shooting is over.

With the flexible operation of the musketeer, now there is no need for five-stage shooting, and four-stage shooting can leave no gaps.

The hundreds of mercenaries led by Konstantin also entered the battlefield for the first time today, and their positions were under the gate tower where Cao Yue was standing.

After coming to Datong for a few months, they hadn't fought a war, and they didn't come in handy when they fought against the bandits last time. Konstantin was a little impatient.Today they finally had the power to use their force. This tall, yellow-haired, blue-eyed down-and-out nobleman patted his chest and assured Cao Yue that they would impress everyone.

On the top of the city, the garrison of Ming Dynasty was standing by. When they were preparing to fight, the Mongols who were preparing to attack the city were about to enter the range of their muskets.

"Kill all the Nanming barbarians on the top of the city, we will have a good time in Datong City tonight..."

"Haha, the women of the Han family are Shui Ling. I went up and played one. It was really cool. After breaking Datong, I must play a few more!"

"Wow...the Han family has a lot of gold and silver treasures, let's grab some more!"

As the Mongols advanced, they uttered vulgar words recklessly, with greed and lust in their eyes. Women and money were always men's favorites, and they were the most desirable trophies.

In a blink of an eye, the Mongols rushed to a place only about one mile away from Datong City. At this time, Cao Yue gave the order to shoot the artillery. Following Cao Yue's order, the roar of "rumbling" artillery rang out.The solid lead bullets and flowering bullets roared and flew towards the Mongolian charge queue. The solid lead bullets carried huge kinetic energy and plowed a bloody passage. Turned into a pile of broken limbs.

The bloody battle has officially begun!
