Chapter 133: Fearless of Death

The total population of the Eastern captivity was only 230,000, and the total number of troops was only 70,000.

They are not a military household, working in their spare time, and carrying knives in wartime.

After the conquest of the Mongol Yuan, the Eight Banners of Mongolia were established, and with the addition of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, their total strength increased several times.

It was the Mengyuan cavalry that invaded Gubeikou this time, and Azig led the Zhengbai Banner and sat behind the Mengba Banner.

They had already mastered the military situation of this guard post outside the Gubei Pass, and thought that 2,000 men and horses were enough to destroy the guard station.

In the past, when fighting the Ming army, most of them won more with less, and this time it was difficult to mobilize 2,000 cavalry.

But what they didn't expect happened, the guard first bombarded, and then the soldiers rushed out of the guard to fight hand-to-hand.

The current soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are like taking stimulants, they have no scruples about their lives, and they are desperate with weapons.

Even if the Mongolian scimitar had pierced their bodies, as long as they still had a breath.

These Ming soldiers will put the weapons in their hands before they die, and they will stab them into the body of the Mongols before closing their eyes, and their morale is quite terrifying.

Seeing the hundreds of Tartars who fled back in embarrassment, Anjilao, the Great Khan of the Tartars who was preparing to enter the customs this time, was taken aback and hurriedly asked:

"What's going on with you, is it that Minggou reinforcements have arrived?"

The commander who attacked the guard shook his head, he didn't dare to look directly into the eyes of the big man, and it took a long time before he said:

"Great Khan, the intelligence is not wrong, there are indeed only 2,000 people in the guard, but these are similar to mad dogs, not only are they amazingly strong in combat, but they all regard death as home......"

The commander stammered a little to restore the truth of the matter, and Angelao's stinky face turned blue.

"Bastard, two thousand people can't do a thousand, winning more with less is our Mengyuan's specialty, Minggou will only look at the wind and run away, what Minggou all regard death as home, what about you? Are you all vegetarians? ”

At the same time, Angelo scolded loudly, got up and walked to the commander's side, suddenly pulled out a scimitar, and stabbed the commander in the heart.

Azig sat in command in the rear, and the two thousand Mengyuan elites were actually defeated by a guard.

Although the Ming army also suffered heavy losses, with only a few dozen people left, this was also a shame for Meng Yuan, which made them very faceless and must be severely punished.

"Someone is coming, a team of 1,000 people is being dispatched, and there are no chickens and dogs left in the Ming Dog Guard."

"Chirp"

A team of 1,000 Mengyuan, under the leadership of the Eastern Capture Niulu, rushed to the Daming Guard.

Soon they came to the city of the Ming army, looked up at the head of the guard, not a single Ming army found it, and the eastern captivity of Niu Lu laughed:

"Seeing my Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers, they didn't dare to show their heads, and they really couldn't think of how the two thousand people of Mengyuan were defeated."

"Whoosh......"

Before he could finish speaking, suddenly an arrow flew out of the arrow window and shot at Niu Lu's throat.

"Poof......

The arrow was fired at the throat of the Mengyuan soldier, and the Mengyuan soldier was killed on the spot.

In the eyes of the Eastern Kidnappers, Meng Yuan's status was higher than that of the Han people, and the status of the Eight Banners of Mongolia was also above the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty.

Even so, a small Eastern Kidnapper Niulu dared to use Mengyuan soldiers to block arrows, which was extremely rampant, and he didn't take the ethnic groups outside the Eastern Capture in his eyes at all.

"Smack...... I almost killed the captive commander, and come again! ”

Just now, an arrow didn't hit that Niu Lu, and in the arrow tower of the guard, the commander Wei Hui slapped Li Qing on the shoulder and asked him to continue.

Li Qing didn't look back, his eyes were fixed on the cow record, and the bowstring was full again:

"As long as the boss remembers to find me a daughter-in-law, Li Qing will definitely shoot that dog thief."

"Whoosh ......"

Before Li Qing's words fell, he shot three arrows one after another, and the three people next to Niu Lu fell off their horses one after another, Li Qing shook his head helplessly:

"Boss, it's not that Li Qing is incompetent, that dog thief always catches the Mengyuan Tartar next to him to block the arrows, it seems that I am destined to beat the single."

The other Ming soldiers held firearms in their hands, their eyes were firmly fixed on the Mengyuan soldiers outside, and they were amused by Li Qing and laughed.

Thirty or so people, in the face of a thousand Mengyuan and the Eastern Capture Alliance, the Ming soldiers were not afraid at all.

Being able to relax so much at this time shows that they have already made up their minds to die.

"Brothers, we are aiming and firing for a while, we don't have a lot of ammunition, try to save it, the longer the time drags on, the more likely it is that our Ming reinforcements will arrive."

"Don't worry, boss, after the ammunition is finished, we still rush out to fight them hand-to-hand, what Mengyuan Baturu is not the same as falling under our knife."

As Li Qing spoke, the bow and arrow in his hand kept shooting, and during this time, more than a dozen Mengyuan thieves were shot by him.

These Mengyuan soldiers were not all experienced cavalrymen, and the vast majority of them were Orions, who were temporarily drawn into the army before setting off.

"Five hundred people shot at the arrow window, and the other five hundred people dismounted to attack the city, grandpa didn't believe that their little people could block our heavenly soldiers, kill!"

At the sound of Niu Lu's order, five hundred Tartars filled their bowstrings, and the other five hundred Tartars began to dismount, and they lifted the discarded ladders on the ground and rushed to the city wall.

Wei Hui shouted:

"Brothers, pay attention to dodge, try not to be shot, we are also responsible for guarding the gate of the Ming Dynasty."

While speaking, Wei Hui bent down to pick up a hard bow in order to save ammunition, and immediately opened his bow and shot several arrows in succession, and suddenly five or six Tartars who carried cloud ladders to attack the city were shot and fell.

"Whoosh ......"

"Puff ......"

Suddenly, a rain of arrows struck, although there was a city wall to block, but there were still some arrows into the arrow window, the brave commander of the Ming Dynasty, instantly hit three arrows.

"Boss ......"

The others shouted, and the fire gun in their hands was about to fire, Wei Hui endured the pain and shouted:

"Don't fire just yet, I'm fine, the arrow didn't hit the point."

One arrow in the shoulder, one in the arm and one in the lower abdomen, although not fatal, also made him temporarily lose the ability to shoot arrows.

But Wei Hui did not flinch, he threw away his bow and arrows and used the fire gun, and hid by the arrow window with difficulty, the fire gun in his hand was already aimed at the Tartars who climbed the city wall.

Whether it is the Tartars or the Eastern Captives, they are not good at siege warfare, but they are only facing thirty Ming troops, even if they are not good at attacking the city, they can easily take this guard.

Seeing that the Tartar was approaching the city, the Tartar who was shooting the arrow stopped shooting, and Wei Hui shouted:

"Brothers, open fire."

"Boom ......"

Wei Hui gave an order, and thirty firecrackers opened fire at the same time, and the Tartars who were close to them fell down from the ladder one after another, and smashed over many of the Tartars under the ladder one after another.

The Ming soldiers who had lost their combat effectiveness in front also picked up the fire hammer at this time and leaned on the city tower to light the fire rope in their hands.

After a round of fire, the Tartars shouted and climbed up, trying to take advantage of the gap in the Ming army's ammunition to get to the top of the city.

But Wei Hui and the others prepared hundreds of firecrackers, and the ammunition had already been loaded, and the sound of firecrackers sounded again.

"Boom ......"
