Chapter 183: Fighting Behind the City

He also immediately ordered the transfer of troops from other castles to this place.

was also afraid of attacking the city first, but in the field, he was never afraid, Yang Hong got into the turtle shell. There was no way to take him first, but at this moment, he took the initiative to come out of the turtle shell.

How could I give up this great opportunity?

And although he was ready to withdraw his troops, he didn't mind before leaving. Give the Ming army greater stimulation, such as a Datong massacre.

He didn't believe that Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, could still sit still, the little emperor of the Ming Dynasty could still sit still, and those gossip officials among the civil officials could still sit still.

Just when the troops were also dispatched first.

Yang Hong led his own soldiers to take the lead and rushed into the Tile Spur army. Yang Hong showed his heavenly strength at the moment, and no one could take the place where the spear passed.

Moreover, the Tile Thorn cavalry did not expect that Yang Hong, who had been cowering in Datong City, would dare to go out of the city to fight, and he was beaten coldly all of a sudden.

By the time Yang Hong received Wu Jin, Wu Jin's department was less than 300 people, and Wu Jin himself was also a blood man, and a horse was a blood horse.

Wu Jin himself was out of strength, not to mention, even Wu Jin's mount, a good war horse, could no longer support it, and he screamed and fell to the ground. Yang Hong looked at it and said, "Give it a good time." There is no help. ”

A horse is an animal that will run to its death. It is a competitive animal in its own right, and this is especially true of the war horse.

Wu Jin hugged the horse's head, his eyes were full of tears, and he could only use a dagger to cut the main artery of the war horse. Blood gushed out, and the horses fell silent.

Wu Jin stood up leisurely and held the last arrow to Yang Hong with both hands. Yang Hong took the long arrow, with a letter tied to it, Yang Hong opened it and saw that it was written by Wu Kezhong himself, and the reinforcements would arrive in three days.

Just for this news, Daming paid for the lives of hundreds of soldiers.

Yang Hong said: "Virtuous nephew is hard, go to the city to rest, and leave the rest to me." ”

Wu Jin and his nephew are classmates, and it is no problem to call him a virtuous nephew.

When he was fighting just now, Wu Jin didn't feel it, but at this moment, he felt chills all over his body. It's May, and it's entering the hottest time of the year.

Therefore, it is not that Wu Jin is cold, but that he has lost strength and lost too much blood, so he has a feeling of chills.

He only felt that the sky was spinning, and he fell to the ground, and the last thought in his heart was: "It is easy to send troops and difficult to collect troops, General Yang Hong is going to fight like this, and the tile spur will not let him go." How do I withdraw it? ”

When Yang Hong saw Wu Jin fainting, he immediately asked people to carry him into the city, and ordered to use the old ginseng sent by Haixi.

Yang Hong didn't know how many battles he had fought, and at a glance, he knew that Wu Jin had lost his vitality. Now you have to live and nourish well, and if you can get through it, you will pass, and if you can't get through it, you will be dead.

cold weapon

In the era, the time when the most dead people is never when there is a battle, but after the battle, they die because of various injuries.

It's just that Wu Jin has a special status, so he naturally needs to use special treatment.

Wu Jin and Wu Jin's headquarters have entered the city.

And the main force of the tile spurs is also here.

Seeing this, Yang Hong sneered in his heart and said secretly: "I have always preserved my strength, so do you really think that my Datong Town, the title of the first in the nine sides, was given for nothing?" ”

Yang Hong didn't dare to let go of the fight before, but he was worried about the lack of troops in his hands. The entire town of Datong had an original amount of 130,000 troops. However, as mentioned before, there is a serious shortage of guards and soldiers, coupled with the distinction between swallowing soldiers and fighting soldiers. There are 50,000 soldiers in Datong Town, which is quite good.

Now, even if there are 50,000 soldiers, it is impossible to concentrate in Datong.

Because of the current situation, in fact, the Tile Thorn army has divided the army of Datong Town. Trapped in a castle.

Therefore, Yang Hong only has 30,000 soldiers under his command, and there are temporarily recruited people and the like.

These people, or the soldiers, are okay to defend the city, but if they want to fight a tough battle with the Tile Spur army, Yang Hong has no bottom.

Therefore, Yang Hong did not dare to let the soldiers lose too much.

After all, to defend a big city like Datong, you need not a lot of manpower, and you have lost too many people and horses, and I'm afraid you can't even hold the city.

Not to mention the importance of Datong, just say that Yang Hong, as the chief soldier of Datong, has the responsibility to defend the territory, and if Datong falls, if Yang Hong is not martyred, he will probably end up with Qiu Fu.

Therefore, no matter how you think about it, Yang Hong must preserve his strength, not fight for a momentary victory, and focus on Datong.

And at this moment, reinforcements are about to arrive.

Yang Hong is afraid of a ball.

Even if most of the soldiers in World War I were lost today, Yang Hong could hold out for the last three days, not to mention the Datong soldiers, and the military heart could be used.

The soldiers of Datong are all locals, even if they are outsiders, they are also the guards who moved in, and all the thorns are looted outside the city of Datong, and the ones who kill them are their families, their fathers and villagers.

Moreover, in order to provoke Yang Hong, the tile spur has done a lot of excessive things.

For example, a large number of troops were killed under the city, such as digging up the graves outside the city, and the burial goods were being looted, allowing the corpses to leak.

And so on, the outrageous things are too many to count.

I don't know how many soldiers asked Yang Hong for battle, and they couldn't cry when they spoke. Can you imagine? The dignified eight-foot man, rushing to the front on the battlefield, even if his head was broken and his hands and feet were broken, he never cried once, but at this time, in front of the public in the hall, he cried blood and tears.

If not, Yang Hong's prestige is enough to suppress, and I don't know how many Datong soldiers are ready to fight without authorization.

Therefore, in this battle, even if the tile spur doesn't want to fight, Yang Hong still wants to fight.

Yang Hong naturally would not be carried away by emotions

He sent all 30,000 soldiers out of the city in one go. only

In the lower part of the city, the left side was lined up, with infantry firearms and spears lined up in front, while the rest were distributed on both sides.

Above the city, countless cannons were lined up.

All he wants is to fight against the city.

Let's see if you dare to rush to the dignified and upright formation of the Datong Army.

Naturally, Yang Hong's success can be seen first.

However, sometimes you always have to fight to know the weight

He also suddenly called Ah Lost Timur and said, "You take the people of the headquarters to rush and see how Yang Hong is doing?" ”

Tamur said, "The child understands. ”

Speaking of which, Ah Timur is about the same age as Zhu Qizhen, but he is no longer a battlefield brother, since he was a teenager, he has followed his father and participated in various wars, and there are many times when he goes into battle in person.

Don't look at his young age, he is already a qualified general.

Otherwise, he wouldn't like him the most at first, making him stand out from the rest of his brothers. He can also lead troops on his own.

As soon as Timur gave the order, thousands of people from his headquarters rushed out.

Thousands of cavalry did not attack directly, but circled around, swept a few dozen paces in front of the Ming infantry formation, and shot arrows one by one.

For a time, arrows were like flying locusts.

The infantry of the Ming army raised their shields one after another, but the tile spur cavalry were all throwing, and it was impossible to completely block them with their shields. Naturally, there was a Ming sergeant who shot an arrow.

The Ming army also immediately began to counterattack.

For a time, countless firearms roared. The smoke of gunpowder flew away.

The Mongolian cavalry that swept in front of the Ming army fell off their horses one after another, and some of them fell off their horses, and the horses didn't know what happened to their masters, but stayed in the center of the battlefield, and used their heads to arch their masters who had fallen to the ground. It's more about overturning everything with people and horses. There are also some horses that are already dead, but people are not dead, and they are even crushed by the horse's thighs and cannot walk if they want to.

For a time, the two sides killed each other.

It's just that with such an exchange ratio, it's hard to say who suffers and who takes advantage.

The Mongol cavalry, which rode sideways in front of the Ming army, seemed to think that they could dodge the bullets as long as they ran fast enough, but the problem was that firearms were never used to strike at scale, not with precision.

And the Ming army foot soldiers are different.

They could only stand in place, bearing the baptism of waves of arrows, and the Mongols were generally on good marks, and the Ming army stood relatively densely, so few arrows missed.

It's just that the lethality of arrows is not as good as that of firearms.

When you are hit by a firecracker, you basically lose your combat effectiveness, but after being hit by a dozen arrows, there are not a few people who can still jump around.

It's just that if it goes on like this, Yang Hong can't hold on.

The reason is simple, gunpowder is consumed too quickly.

The gunpowder brought out by the Ming army infantry from the city was limited, and with such a high frequency of shooting, it was likely that the gunpowder would be consumed first.
