"What's going on with the sentinels, there are hundreds of people, but none of them found that Nanguo Xiao'er was ambushing a large number of ambushes on both sides of the official road?"

In fact, when the Tumut sentinel was investigating the official road, Zhang Wanbang did not set up many ambushes, at first just to catch a few tongues and ask about the situation in the town.

Because the news came from the Guangchang camp that it was the Tumut Department who came to the official road, it temporarily changed its strategy, and planned to take advantage of the fact that the Mongolian sentinels had withdrawn and the army had not yet entered the official road, and temporarily set up ambushes on both sides of the official road.

Dulong Monk came to one of the lords in charge of commanding the sentinels, and without listening to his defense, he swung his knife and slashed, looked at the corpse at his feet, and said:

"What a crap!"

The rest of the lords were shocked by this, and one of them looked at Dulong Sangha in disbelief and persuaded: "The matter has come to this, King Khan, let's think of a solution!" ”

"The solution? Beat! Dulong Monk brandished his scimitar and shouted, "Death to those who retreat!" If you dare to retreat, kill me first! ”

There was a shout from behind, but Dulong monks couldn't see it, but it was actually the Guangchang battalion led by Qu Jiazhen who was coming.

"No backwards!"

"Shoot back with archery! The cavalry can't beat the foot soldiers on the plains, and what face do I have to go back to the steppe and call it Khan! Dulong Sangge rode his horse to meet the Guangchang camp, because the surroundings were too noisy, so he had to shout with all his might.

In fact, although the Ming army has been in ambush for a long time, it is now a disadvantage.

There were more than 40,000 Ming troops in ambush, of which only Zhang Wanbang's headquarters of more than 20,000 people could be called elite, and most of the rest were guards.

The combat effectiveness of the guards is very psychedelic, like this kind of downwind, one by one is like a god of war, but once they fall into a slight disadvantage, they may collapse instantly.

The defeat was like a mountain, and once the guards collapsed, it was easy to scatter the elite of Zhang Wanbang's headquarters and disrupt the original combat deployment.

Zhang Wanbang used his example as bait, stayed on the mountain to attract Dulong monks, and led the team to command Xu Shouhui, the deputy commander-in-chief.

Xu Shouhui looked around and frowned.

Since the Mongols had no defenses at all, the losses of the Ming army were still minimal, but the terrain was unfavorable to the foot soldiers after all.

Once the Mongol cavalry reacted, the bird teams on both sides of the official road were equivalent to being exposed to the eyes of the Mongols, without any protection, they would inevitably suffer heavy losses, but at this time there was no way out.

Xu Shouhui ascended and shouted: "The time has come to serve the country, all the soldiers, follow me to kill the captives and make meritorious contributions!" ”

"Zhentai is watching us from the mountain, and we will use this battle to report our victory to Your Majesty!"

The sound of explosions was endless, and the bird soldiers seemed to know that they were in an extremely dangerous situation, so they were all desperately casting, and if they could put one more gun, they would earn it.

As for the gap between the battalions of the Ming army, it is getting farther and farther away because of the melee, and in order to cover the ambush, the mountain is still desperately firing artillery.

At this time, each battalion was actually fighting on its own, and the unified deployment was too late and could not be transmitted to the side of the generals.

The shelling and bird's guns not only did damage, but the sound was enough to shock the Mongols, or at least distract their mounts.

The Mongols had already reacted at this time and desperately fired back with arrows.

The official road and the fields were full of Ming soldiers with arrows, but because the morale of the army was still boiling, the whole team continued to attack, and the Mongols were crowded at the foot of the mountain.

On the official road in the rear, countless Ming troops stretched to the horses on both sides of the river, and there were more and more unmanned mounts on the official road.

The two sides combined with nearly 100,000 troops, just mixed together at the foot of this narrow official road and Baishan Mountain, and the fall of Datong Town was also determined by this size of the place.

"Boom—"

There was another loud bang, and a cannonball came in an instant, falling into the river on the left side of the official road, and the boiling water column immediately rose into the sky, and pounced on the official road with mud, and several Ming soldiers who were releasing bird guns were covered in mud.

But no one cared, these Ming soldiers frowned slightly, and the movements of their hands did not pause in the slightest, they were still changing the medicine at a rapid pace, and continued to shoot the Mongols.

This ambush battle became more and more chaotic, until Qu Jiazhen led the Guangchang battalion to rush to Tumut's cavalry and fire formation, and then it was considered to be a stalemate.

There was a panicked shout at the foot of the mountain, and the official road was full of panicked and galloping Mongols, and even the guards around Dulong Monk had to draw their scimitars in close combat, and rarely used their bows and arrows to shoot.

......

"Siege!"

Datong Town.

The horns sounded again in the Mongolian battle array under the city, and tens of thousands of soldiers slowly advanced with rattan cards and scimitars.

A trumpet sounded, and in an instant, clusters of arrows rained down again from the cavalry shooting array outside the city, and the dark night sky became even darker, and the shouts shook the sky like thunder.

A new round of offensive is coming, but the Ming army at the head of the city is already exhausted.

The war dead were horrible, the wounded wailed in agony, the survivors were devastated and panicked, and despair once again spread irrepressibly throughout the city.

Even the banner with the word "Ming" written on it became tattered by the Mongols' cavalry.

Shi Yongzhen knelt on one knee, looking at the corpses scattered all over the city, and when he hit this point, he also knew that this was the final attack.

He couldn't resist this attack.

Shi Yongzhen looked in the direction of Jingshi from afar, with despair in his voice, "Your Majesty, the last general is incompetent, and there is no way to be loyal to the king, Datong Town is in my hands, and it has been lost to the Mongols!" ”

"The last will be incompetent, the last will be incompetent!!"

At this time, the Mongol army, which was advancing in strict formation, was in disarray.

Many Ming troops who were struggling to defend the city gritted their teeth and stood up, looking far north, but they saw that the cavalry of the Tumut Department was like frightened birds, rushing towards this side frantically.

Two or three thousand Ming cavalry actually chased one or two thousand Mongolian cavalry all over the mountains!

It's not fake, this happened in front of Shi Yongzhen's eyes!

At the same time, the light artillery on Baishan Mountain was carried down the mountain, and stopped on a small slope, far below the town, swallowing tongues of fire.

Countless shells slammed into the advancing Mongol battle formations, plowing out a sea of corpses and blood.

In the rear, the Ming army led by Zhang Wanbang had set up an ambush at the foot of Baishan Mountain to defeat the main force of the Tumut tribe of Dulong Sengge, and chased the routed army to this side.

The Ming army was all foot soldiers except for the cavalry who chased in front at the beginning, but there were quite a few of them, and there were forty or fifty thousand people chasing and killing all over the mountains!

Lin Danbatur was riding on his horse, and was about to excitedly order to attack the town and plunder it, but there was a sudden change behind him, and he heard a news that he didn't expect at all.

The Tumut tribe is defeated!

The 30,000 Tumut cavalry led by Dulong Seng Ge was ambushed by Zhang Wanbang on Dengbai Guandao, although the whole army was not annihilated, but it was heavily damaged and completely dispersed!

The defeated troops of the Tumut Department lost the slightest will to fight, and the defeat was like a mountain!

They didn't care how many Ming troops were chasing behind them, they just ran wildly, and when they saw the Mongolian battle formation besieging the city in front of them, they went up like a savior.

Zhang Wanbang led his subordinates to deliberately drive the Tumut rout here, and it really worked.

Seeing such a scene, the Ming army followed the footsteps of the Tumut Division, followed the artillery fire and lead bullets, and broke the Mongolian battle formation of Lin Danbatur in one fell swoop!
