Eight miles north of Desheng Gate.

Warat Taishi also led the main army of 230,000 with the Great Khan Tokhtobuhua all the way, and suddenly received an urgent report from the front of the horse, and the two learned that nearly 40,000 vanguard troops were defeated outside the Desheng Gate, and the leading Polo and Zhang Zhangmao children were all killed in battle, and they were immediately shocked.

In particular, the Warat Taishi was even more frightened, and suddenly there was a flower in front of him, and he almost fell off his horse.

Originally, I also thought that I wanted to take the Desheng Gate first, and at least I could hit the Ming army hard, so that I could sweat profusely on the results of the battle without spending a head.

But I didn't expect that the Ming army actually ambushed heavy troops outside the Desheng Gate, and at the cost of burning thousands of houses and jade outside the city, gathered and annihilated the 40,000 troops under the command of Yexian, and even the two younger brothers of Yexian were also killed on the spot, such a blow can be described as a heavy blow to Yexian!

Although the Great Khan next to him was secretly happy that his forces had been injured, but after thinking about it, the powerful combat power that the Ming army broke out in this battle also made Tokhovunhua frightened.

As soon as he thought of the hundreds of thousands of Ming troops sitting in the deep city of Beijing, his brows were tightly locked, and his scalp was even numb.

At this time, Totobuhua already vaguely had the idea of wanting to withdraw the army, but looking at the angry Yexian, Totobuhua understood that it was impossible for him to persuade him to withdraw the army at this time, and this battle could only continue, either the Wara army would defeat Beijing City, or he and Yexian would be defeated and retreat together, and there was no other way to choose!

"Master, what should we do next?"

also gritted his teeth first, and said viciously: "At this time, the main force of the Ming army should be deployed in the area of Desheng Gate, and the rest of the city gates must be empty!" In my opinion, it is better for our army to concentrate the main force and turn to attack Xizhimen, and attack it unprepared! ”

The sweat didn't take off and nodded when he heard the words, and he secretly said that he hadn't been confused by failure yet, and his mind was still very clear.

So, the Great Khan nodded without spending anything, and ordered the army to immediately kill Xizhimen at full speed.

At the same time, Yu Qian was taking a group of people from the military department to count the captures and results of the Battle of Deshengmen, and Shi Heng was also counting the losses of the soldiers and horses of each department.

In this battle of Deshengmen, the various departments of the Ming army also suffered a lot of losses, and the total number of troops lost by the various departments was more than 13,000 people, and all the thousands of houses in the gate outside the Desheng Gate were all in ruins, and the Ming side also suffered a lot of losses!

Shi Heng saw that the losses of the soldiers and horses of each division were not small, so he transferred thousands of men and horses from the brave young men who performed bravely in the defense of the city in order to replenish the battle losses of the soldiers and horses of each battalion.

At this time, Sun Bo, the governor stationed in Xizhimen, sent people to ask for help, reporting that he had found the main army of Warat in Wuli outside Xizhimen, and also found the battle flag of Warat Khan and Taishi Yexian!

Hearing this news, Shi Heng was taken aback, and hurriedly transferred troops and horses from the main force of the Ming army stationed in Deshengmen to immediately support Xizhimen.

At this time, Yu Qian also rushed over when he heard the news, and when he saw Shi Heng, he said: "Changyi Gate is not far from Xizhi Gate, it is best to let the general Liu Juntao also lead his troops to help, so that nothing goes wrong!" ”

Shi Heng nodded, and immediately sent someone to give the order.

At the same time, he also led his troops to Xizhimen outside Xizhimen, and Sun Bo, the governor stationed here, led his army to meet the battle at the gate outside Xizhimen.

There are only 7,000 Ming soldiers under the command of Governor Sun Bo, and most of them are infantry, fortunately, there are houses and horse walls in the pass, and the Ming soldiers can rely on the terrain advantage to block the Wara army and wait for reinforcements to arrive.

At this time, he had already sent 10,000 iron horsemen to kill him, and then the two of them were stationed on the slope of the horse hill to observe the battle situation, and the two of them were surrounded by dense Wala iron cavalry, and more than 200,000 Watara troops were on standby, like dark clouds, pressing on the head of Xizhimen City!

I saw 10,000 watts of iron cavalry rushing up, at a distance of dozens of steps away from the area of the Guanxiang, 10,000 watts of iron cavalry suddenly turned the horse's head, and it was divided into two columns on the left and right in front of the Guanxiang and galloped past, and 10,000 cavalry archers bent their bows and arrows, and shot wave after wave of dense arrow rain towards the Ming soldiers stationed in the Guanxiang!

"Raise your shield!"

The generals of the Ming army at all levels roared loudly, and all the soldiers also hid in their houses to avoid the rain of arrows, and some of the Ming soldiers stationed behind the barrage walls in various places also hurriedly raised their shields.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

The dense rain of arrows kept falling, as if it was pouring rain, and the soldiers of the Ming army couldn't raise their heads.

Although there were thousands of archers and musketeers in the Ming army, in the face of the powerful blows of the Wara army, the soldiers of the Ming army were no opponent at all.

What's more, the 10,000-watt iron cavalry is still galloping at high speed, and the arrows and lead bullets of the Ming soldiers cannot be effectively hit!

"Ahh Help me! ”

"My legs!"

At this time, there were constantly soldiers in the Ming army who were hit by arrows, and the entire defense line was full of screams.

And it seems that he was not in a hurry to attack, but continued to increase his troops and release arrows, but only sent thousands of archers to shoot and kill the Ming soldiers with arrows in the distance.

Seeing this, he nodded secretly, and said secretly: "This is also a lesson first." Hum! Don't rush forward because of anger, don't mess up your wisdom because of sadness, if you don't get rid of this person, my position is not guaranteed! ”

Just when he was secretly sighing, Du Du Sun was in a hurry.

At this time, the 7,000 soldiers of the Ming army had already suffered thousands of casualties, and the Warat Iron Cavalry still did not charge, but accumulated cavalry shooting, and the Ming army's defense line was already crumbling!

Seeing this situation, the governor Sun Bo immediately made a decision and immediately ordered the remaining 6,000 Ming soldiers to retreat immediately, and directly retreat to Xizhimen City, preparing to retreat to Xizhimen City to assist in defense.

After the order of the governor Sun Bo, the 6,000 Ming army immediately rushed towards the direction of the Xizhimen City Gate as if they had been granted amnesty.

Seeing it from afar, he immediately laughed, and immediately ordered the 20,000 iron horsemen in front of the formation to follow closely and charge towards Xizhimen.

"It's best to take the city gate, if you can't, the worst will be to hit the Ming army!"

After giving the order first, Totobu also began to exert his strength, and immediately sent 5,000 soldiers and horses to help, and all the 5,000 soldiers and horses dismounted and fought on foot, carrying a large number of ladders and rushing cars, and went up to Xizhimen!

All of a sudden, the shouts outside the Xizhi Gate shook the sky, and the 6,000 soldiers of the Ming Army, who had retreated in an orderly manner, suddenly formed a big formation and began to disperse under the pursuit of the 20,000 Warat army.

Seeing this, Governor Sun Bo was also anxious, and while personally leading the army to break off, he re-established the defense line at a distance of 100 steps outside Xizhimen, and hurriedly sent people to open the gate of Xizhimen.

At this time, the main general who was responsible for guarding the head of the Xizhimen City was the military department to Cheng Xin, Cheng Xin saw that there was a great chaos outside the city, and he was worried that the Wara army would take advantage of the chaos to seize the city, so he strictly ordered that the city would not be allowed to open the city, and those who violated the order would be killed!

At the same time, Cheng Xin hurriedly ordered the defenders of the city to open fire, and carried bundles of rockets to the head of the city, and launched them one by one, bombarding the Wara army that was pursuing the Ming soldiers outside the city.

"Boom me!"

Cheng Xin roared hoarsely, and the soldiers of the Ming army at the head of the city were also red-eyed, and they roared with artillery and arrows.

The governor Sun Bo, who was struggling to support, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and the Warat army in front of him suffered heavy casualties, almost a piece of Tartar iron cavalry was killed by rockets, and the remaining Warat soldiers and horses also retreated in amazement.

Seeing this, Governor Sun Bo immediately commanded his soldiers and horses to reorganize the defensive line, at this time the Xizhimen defenders refused to open the door, and he could only lead the army to fight under the city, otherwise there would be no life in this battle!

At this time, the governor Sun Bo was also ruthless, after the defense line was established, the Wara army in the distance pushed the shield cart, rushed the cart, and rushed up with the ladder, and the morale of the Ming army around him was low, and some people began to retreat.

Seeing this, Governor Sun Bo roared, and hacked to death a retreating cronie beside him with a single sword, and then roared loudly: "Soldiers! Stay here, stay here! Those who take a step back will be killed! ”

The surrounding Ming army soldiers were suddenly startled when they saw this, and they began to release arrows and shoot by relying on the defense line, and the precarious Ming army defense line finally stabilized under the insistence of the Ming army officers and soldiers.

In the Warat array, Tokh Buhua and also the first to frown, I didn't expect the Ming army to be so tenacious, so I added 10,000 troops again to attack Xizhimen.

At this time, on the battlefield outside Xizhimen, the soldiers and horses invested by the Wara army had reached 35,000 people, and they were still sending troops and generals; And the soldiers of the Ming army, counting the men and horses on the head of Xizhimen City, were only 10,000, and the situation began to deteriorate sharply!
