In front of the pass of Datong, the armies of both sides were solemn, on the grassland, the grassland army was neatly arranged, and the flags were blown in the cold wind.

On the tall city wall, the Ming army also nervously clenched the weapons in their hands, looking at the black crowd on the grassland, looking at the past, it seemed that there was a kind of invisible.

The 100,000 grassland army, plus hundreds of thousands of horses, the whole scene is very spectacular.

"Immortals, people, there is a prosperous world behind this city wall in front of you, where is the food, salt, tea, iron pot, kitchen knife, and the snow-white, snow-white, fragrant woman on her body, you don't want any of this?"

Dayan Khan rode his tall horse, came to the front of the army very limitedly, and then spoke very loudly to the whole army.

His voice was very rough and loud, and it was clearly transmitted to every corner of the army.

"I want to~"

At the same time, the 100,000 army sounded their roars neatly, like thunder, like a tsunami, and the waves were turbulent, so that the Ming troops on the city wall were frightened and clenched their weapons again.

"Haha, this is the people of the Immortal Heaven, we are the wolves of the grassland, and these Ming Dynasty people in front of us, they are sheep, and wolves are born to eat sheep."

"All they have to rely on is the wall in front of them, and as long as you rush up bravely, these sheep will be afraid, they will be afraid, and we will be able to easily break down this pass in front of us, enter the sheepfold, and at that time, you can do whatever you want."

Dayan Khan continued to roar, and his words also made these steppe soldiers all feel enthusiastic, and they instantly forgot their fear of such a tall wall.

Some veterans even recalled the Ming army they encountered when they went south to plunder in the past, they were simply vulnerable, and they did not dare to fight with them in the field, so they could only rely on the city wall to defend, once the city wall was breached, they were really like entering the sheepfold, and they could enjoy a sumptuous feast.

"Keng~"

Dayan Khan pulled out the sword in his hand, and the sword made a crisp sound.

"Kill~"

"Immortal Heaven bless us!"

With Dayan Khan's order, the howls began to sound continuously, and the huge steppe army began to move, a large number of archers began to press forward, and at the same time, the steppe soldiers carrying siege equipment continued to approach the city wall under the protection of shield bearers.

As before, they still habitually used the suppressive power of the archers, preparing to suppress the Ming army on the city wall and win opportunities for the siege troops.

The equipment of the siege troops was made in advance by Dayan Khan, of course, they were all simple equipment, ladders, catapults, crashing wood, etc., the steppe people were not good at making these things, but if they wanted to go south, they had to learn to do these things.

"Knock~Knock~"

On the city wall, the war drums began to sound constantly, and the Ming army on the city wall had already prepared stones, hot oil, rolling wood and other defensive things, and at the same time, the archers of the Ming army had already prepared, ready to shoot with the grassland archers.

"Let them go into attack range before attack~"

Liu Yu was wearing a red robe, watching the movements on the battlefield with a telescope, and ordered very calmly.

"Woo~Boom~"

Soon, the steppe army came to the foot of the city wall, and bows and arrows began to rain down on the wall.

However, because the city wall is so high, many arrows begin to droop before they even fall on the city wall, and as for some arrows that fall on the city wall, its power is also limited, and with the protection of the shield hand, the damage caused is very small, much smaller than before.

"Haha, if this wall is a few feet higher, the bows and arrows of the steppe people will never be able to shoot up."

Liu Yu sat on the highest battlement, watching the arrows rain down, he didn't have a trace of fear, but chatted happily with his colleagues.

"General, the Tartars have come to the foot of the city wall, can we start fighting back?"

A general with an armored figure smiled and said to Liu Yu, don't look at his rank and rank are the same as Liu Yu, but in front of Liu Yu, a civil official, he has no right to speak, he has always been groveling, and the military generals of the Ming Dynasty are so aggrieved.

"Well, give the order to go down and attack~"

Liu Yu saw clearly with a telescope, nodded and ordered.

"Knock knock~"

Soon, the drums changed to offensive drumbeats.

Suddenly, the Ming army on the city wall began to counterattack, and the archers began to play, they didn't need to aim at all, they just pulled the bowstring to the full, and shot indiscriminately at the sky.

"Woo~Boom~"

Countless arrows rained down on the steppe army, and in an instant, they were among the archers of the steppe army.

Because of the condescending, even if the quality of the weapon is not good, they can still shoot as far, and the lethality is more powerful, condescending, and the height is higher.

"This~"

Dayan Khan watched the chaos in his archer camp, people were afraid of death, even if it was a steppe people, the rain of arrows fell from the sky, and a large number of people were about to fall in an instant, with heavy casualties.

Dayan Khan's face became ugly, this kind of thing had never happened before, in the past, the bows and arrows in their hands were always able to firmly suppress the Ming army on the head of the city.

Every time, they would choose to suppress outside the range of the Ming army's bow and arrows, and they could easily suppress the Ming army and provide fire suppression cover for the besieging troops.

"This wall is too high~ the suppressive advantage of our archers is gone."

Dayan Khan immediately found the problem, but he had to continue to order the archers to shoot at the Ming archers, and once the archers gave up suppression, the besieging troops would basically only be beaten.

"Pull the cannon out~"

Dayan Khan coldly ordered, and soon, one by one, the artillery pieces were lifted out and lined up neatly.

Don't think that the steppe people don't know how to play artillery, in fact, the Mongols were invincible across the Eurasian continent, and in addition to relying on powerful bows and arrows and warriors, the most important thing to rely on was this artillery.

Under the bombardment of artillery, the hard walls will crumble, and it will be easy to penetrate and even shatter the will of the enemy.

"Knock~Knock~"

Soon, with bursts of white smoke rising, one cannon after another began to wield, and the huge sound was like thunder, and the iron pellets bombarded towards the huge city wall.

"Bang~"

On the city wall, there was a dull sound, hard cement, not to mention this level of artillery, in later generations, all kinds of strong pillboxes, city walls are built of cement, hard resistance to all kinds of artillery, and only armor-piercing shells can really pose a deadly threat.

As for the artillery of this era, it was tickling at all, leaving only bowl-sized indentations on the hard and gray-white city walls, and it had no effect at all.

"Fire Attack Counterattack~"

Liu Yu saw the opponent's artillery attack, and also ordered.

Soon, one by one, the battlements were assumed, and the people of the artillery battalion carefully added gunpowder to the artillery, because they were afraid of exploding, and they even did not dare to add more, generally only daring to add less than half of the gunpowder.

"Knock~Knock~"

With loud noises and puffs of smoke, shells were fired out one after another, some of which were individual iron pellets, chain shells, and some scattered shells.

The power can only be said to be terrifying, pretending, the quality of the artillery is too poor, and the gunners dare not fill too much gunpowder, so that the range is very limited.

But because of the condescending, under the city wall of more than ten zhang, let alone artillery, even if a stone is thrown down, its lethality is also extremely amazing.

Shells were beating in the grassland army, and wherever they passed, the sons who were always born to hold them died very miserably in an instant, and some were even directly blown out of their heads by the projectiles.

"Kill~"

At the foot of the city wall, the grassland army finally rushed to the foot of the city wall, and one by one the ladders leaned against the city wall, and the brave grassland warriors bit the scimitar in their mouths and began to climb up continuously.

At the same time, here at the city gate, the steppe soldiers, under the protection of the shield hand, carried a huge bumper wood towards the city gate, ready to rely on brute force to knock the city gate open.

"Ah~"

And then the Ming army on the city wall will definitely not let them be so easy.

The hot oil poured down one after another, and the stones fell as if it were raining, and suddenly there were screams under the city walls.

Although the shield of the shield hand is thick, but when the boulder falls, it still smashes these shield hands, without the suppression of the archers, the Ming army on the city wall is very easy to keep throwing down stones one by one, so that the grassland soldiers under the city gate suffer heavy casualties, and the attack is extremely slow.

As for the steppe soldiers on the ladder, they were even more miserable, because many times, they found that they had climbed to the top of the ladder but were still some distance from the city wall, and they could only stare dryly, and then they were smashed down by stones, and their dead eyes were greatly earned.

Arrows rained down, puffs of white smoke, hot oil burning under the walls, huge stones, howls, drums, and deafening shouts of murder between the two sides.

All of this constitutes the most brutal siege warfare of this era, with a lot of blood flowing and a lot of lives being lost at every moment.

However, in comparison, the Ming army is too comfortable, too much, and only the archers of the steppe people can pose damage and threat to them, but because of the high city wall, the lethality of the bow and arrow is often very limited, and the archers of the steppe people are suppressed, and there is no way to attack unscrupulously in the past, and the hit rate is also plummeting, and the threat is very small.
