The north wind howled in my ears, and the temperature dropped again.

It was now nearly midnight, and according to the scout's report, about four or five miles ahead, was the city of Ximu.

The bright and dark sentinels of the Tartars have been hunted down by the scout soldiers of the various teams that took the lead.

Li Dingguo began to give orders, and the whole army was arrayed and prepared to storm Ximu City.

A quarter of an hour later, the soldiers were ready, dismounted and led their horses and began a rapid march, moving quickly towards the front, and began to launch a surprise attack on the city.

The movement of the war horse galloping is too large, and walking is the best plan at this time.

Li Dingguo personally commanded the siege this time, and began to slow down when the 30,000-strong army arrived three miles away from the city.

After breaking through for another two miles, the officers and men of the whole army stopped, and the artillery battalion, with the help of the soldiers, hurriedly began to prepare for the attack.

Soldiers are fast.

It was important to storm the city before the Tartars could react.

Moreover, at this time, the Tartar did not realize that the danger had arrived because all the sentinels outside the city had been removed.

Surprise and attack unprepared.

This kind of strategy and tactics is a good tactic that Zhu Youxiao has always emphasized to carry forward.

Now Li Dingguo wants to adopt this tactic and strive to break through and occupy the enemy's Rao city in one fell swoop.

"Command!"

By the time the artillery officers were ready, a +3 super cannon was aimed at each target that needed to be accurately hit.

Li Dingguo looked back at the military formations that were ready to charge at any time, and immediately ordered: "Fire!" ”

In this siege, the soldiers of the artillery battalion used all super cannons.

Because the time is about to come to midnight, the shells in the super cannon will soon be refreshed, so there is no need to use it in vain.

"Boom!" ……

As the black dots fell on the proposed target, they exploded, and the sound of the explosion resounded throughout the area!

When the cannon stopped, Li Dingguo, Hao Shaoqi and a dozen or so Boy Scout captains immediately urged their mounts to rush towards the gate of the city that was gone.

Behind him were the soldiers of the black-pressed brigade, rushing forward.

The quick raid, coupled with the current situation, no longer needs the 10,000 women's longbow team, and a few more rounds of salvos to cover the attack.

In that way, it will not only delay precious time, but also affect the soldiers to take the city.

It will also accidentally injure the horses in this enemy city, alarming the Tartar army, giving them enough time to react.

Li Dingguo and Hao Shaoqi, the captains of the brigade, one by one holding +3 super short guns, clenched their spears, rushed towards the city gate that was missing, and led the way into the city.

In just a moment, the Tartar soldiers who survived the bombardment at the city gate, as well as the traitor-clothed slave soldiers, were all annihilated, and the passage for the army to advance was opened.

The 30,000 soldiers then shouted in unison, and as soon as they swarmed in, Li Dingguo and others immediately led a brigade of soldiers to disperse and hurry, and while killing the enemy, they occupied all the important buildings of Ximu City and began to attack inside and outside.

The Tartar soldiers and traitor slave soldiers who defended the city woke up like a dream at this time.

Most of them woke up from their sleep, climbed out of bed, and went out to see it in disheveled clothes.

However, how could a mere few thousand Tartar soldiers and more than 10,000 traitor slave soldiers make a storm in front of the 30,000 soldiers of the Guards?

What's more, in this raid, there are twenty generals armed with +3 super short guns to lead the charge?

A little resistance is useless.

In less than three quarters of an hour, all the forces of resistance were annihilated.

"Hahaha! Cool! ”

After the battle, Hao Shaoqi hurried to the Tartar school field, and saw a large number of war horses, at least 10,000 of them, and immediately laughed with joy.

Although he unexpectedly did not encounter a strong enemy to fight today, he was also too addicted.

The number of Tartars and hardcore traitors killed by him with his own hands exceeded 100.

It's like chopping melons and vegetables, one shot is one, it's very cool.

"Someone!"

He stood on the edge of the colonel's field, which was full of war horses, and with a wave of his hand, he summoned a hundred soldiers and dozens of horsemen accompanying the army, and ordered:

"You give me a good inventory, how many war horses you have obtained this time, and you must appease them."

These grooms are all selected from among the captive clothed minions who will serve the war horses.

Most of them were the original Liaodong soldiers and civilians who were captured and captured by the Tatars.

These captives, who may not have other skills, are definitely good at raising horses.

After they were caught in the Tartar camp, they had to do a lot of farm work and chores, and they also had to help those Tartar lords raise war horses, and they had a miserable life.

Therefore, these guys, after being rescued by the Guards Scouts, willingly joined the logistics team of the Guards Scouts, specializing in raising war horses.

And now that the soldiers have captured Yaozhou Yi and Ximu City one after another, the number of captured such people as horsemen and craftsmen will undoubtedly skyrocket.

In the future, with the care of these professionals, the soldiers of the Guards Scouts will no longer have to worry about their horses being damaged by others.

"Hahaha! Your Majesty. ”

Li Dingguo followed the emperor, standing on a high tower, looking at the soldiers below, who were counting all kinds of loot in a fast and orderly manner, especially a large number of war horses and livestock and poultry, and couldn't help laughing.

He was happy and depressed at the same time.

Gao Xin is: It's just that one night has passed, and the soldiers who went out on the expedition have made such a huge gain, and they are getting closer and closer to the goal of their own cavalry division, one man and three horses.

What is depressing is that these two siege battles are inevitably a little too easy!

This is definitely not the real combat power of the Tartars!

And at this moment, a staff officer, hurriedly soaking up the tower, reported to the emperor and Li Dingguo:

"Report to Your Majesty, report to the General!"

The staff officer took a big breath, calmed his breath, and said, "Just now we urgently interrogated the leaders of several clothed minions, and learned a situation. ”

"The Tartars of this Ximu City, its main combat force, have already left Ximu City at noon this day and went to Haizhou City to gather."

"It is precisely because of this that in this siege battle, we did not encounter any desperate resistance, and we occupied this Ximu City very smoothly."

"Even most of the grain and grass in the city were brought to Nahaizhou City by the Tatar Gushan Ezhen Stone Map, who was originally responsible for managing this area."

"This ......"

Li Dingguo's face changed sharply, he had an estimate in his heart, and after sending the staff officer away, he immediately said to Zhu Youxiao:

"Your Majesty, come to think of it, all the big towns and villages in this Haizhou City area, the immediate combat power of these Tartars has basically been transferred to Haizhou City by that Emperor Taiji."

"I don't have to ask, Huang Taiji is going to break the cauldron and prepare to have a decisive battle with Lu Xiangsheng and Liu Zongmin, and the battle will be won or lost!"

"Victory, he will regain control of the initiative and let the imperial army's army be lost in this Liaodong land."

"Defeated, Huang Taiji is estimated to be dead, and in the future, he will definitely turn back to the front line of Shengjing, strictly guard against it, shrink up, and try to slowly recover his vitality."

"In the future, when we are in turmoil in the country, he will make a comeback and launch a counterattack."

This enemy chieftain Taiji is really worthy of a generation of heroes, and he is extremely decisive in case of trouble!

Li Dingguo sighed in his heart.

There is no doubt that the decision he is making is well thought out.

He has no way back but to fight.

However, with the future and fate of the Tartar clan, to fight to the death.

It is this kind of heroic character that has this kind of courage and will be so decisive.

"Humph!"

Zhu Youxiao sneered, "Fight a decisive battle with us? Okay, then Huang Taiji, just prepare to lose all your pants. ”

With the combat effectiveness and armament of the new army of the imperial court now, plus tomorrow morning, the Guards Scouts rushed to the battlefield of Haizhou City, even if the emperor Taiji had all kinds of skills, he would lose.
