Chapter 306: The Battle of Beijing (5)

"Shoot the arrows!"

Du Du Sun Bo roared loudly, his voice was already hoarse, but the rain of arrows shot by the archers of the Ming army was still sparse.

At this time, the soldiers of the Ming army on the defense line had repelled three attacks by the Wara army, but the soldiers were also seriously damaged, and only more than 4,000 troops of 6,000 were left.

Governor Sun Bo looked at the tens of thousands of Warat troops that had regrouped in the distance, and his heart couldn't help but be filled with despair.

At present, although the Ming soldiers stationed on the defense line have the fire support of the city, they are still suppressed by the Wara army, and the arrow rain of the Tartars is too dense and very tricky, which has caused great casualties and psychological pressure to the Ming soldiers.

Governor Sun Bo knew very well that as long as the Wara army charged one or two more, it was estimated that the Ming army's defense line outside Xizhimen would collapse, and then the Tartars could directly attack Xizhimen, and the thousands of Ming soldiers defending Xizhimen were estimated to not last long!

"Why haven't the reinforcements arrived?"

Governor Sun Bo screamed sadly, and saw that the Wara army rushed up again, so he shouted and led the army to fight, and blood flew on the defense line again, although the morale of the Ming army was low and the troops were insufficient, but no one retreated, and they roared angrily to meet them, and fought with several times their own Tartar captives!

At the head of the city, Cheng Xin from the Ministry of War was also anxious when he looked at the fierce battle situation under the city, and shouted loudly to the heralds around him: "Go to Deshengmen again to urge reinforcements!" Tell the Right Governor that if you don't send reinforcements, Xizhimen will be lost! ”

The herald turned away with a frightened face, and ran down the city in an unusual way.

At this time, Cheng Xin looked at the battlefield outside the city, only to see that he had also increased his troops again, and the Wara army on the battlefield had reached about 50,000, and the entire Xizhi Gate was densely packed with Wara soldiers and horses, and the Ming army soldiers outside the city had been driven to more than 50 steps in front of the city gate!

"Why haven't the reinforcements come yet!"

Cheng Xin also mourned, looking forward to the arrival of reinforcements.

Suddenly, there were bursts of war drums from the north of Xizhimen, Cheng Xin was suddenly ecstatic, looking from afar, he saw a Liuzi battle flag fluttering in the wind, nearly 30,000 Ming soldiers lined up in a phalanx and rushed over, marching in unison on the wilderness, with extraordinary momentum!

"Reinforcements have arrived!"

Cheng Xin roared, and immediately ordered the war drums on the head of Xizhimen City to report to the Governor Sun Boring outside the city.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

The fierce war drums sounded, and the morale of more than 3,000 Ming soldiers outside the Xizhi Gate was suddenly greatly boosted, and they fought to the death outside the city gate, and tens of thousands of Wara troops were killed.

And the first and the first in the Warat Great Array and the Totobu Flower were taken aback, and the two did not expect the Ming army to come to support so quickly.

Tokhov said anxiously: "The army must be withdrawn as soon as possible, and the army must immediately reorganize its formation in order to meet the reinforcements of the Ming army!" ”

At first, he was unwilling, seeing that Xizhimen was already in danger, but at this time, the main force of the Ming army came to support, how could people be willing?

also thought for a while, and said: "Now there are only 30,000 or 20,000 soldiers and horses supported by the Ming army, and the Great Khan can divide his army to meet it!" As long as the Xizhi Gate is broken, our army can enter the city of Beijing and make immortal contributions to the Great Khan! ”

After listening to this, he also hesitated, looked at the soldiers and horses of Liu Juntao who came to support in the distance, and finally made up his mind and said, "Okay! Then Ben Khan will go to meet this Ming army for a while! ”

After speaking, Totokh Buhua led his 100,000 soldiers and horses to the north, and first continued to lead more than 120,000 soldiers and horses under his command to storm Xizhimen.

At this time, Liu Juntao, who had led the army, had already discovered the movement of the Wara army, so he immediately ordered the whole army to stop advancing and prepare for battle on the spot.

Liu Juntao deployed the front battalion of the Yushan Town Guard Team of Zhang Xiao's military headquarters and the left battalion of the Yushan Town Guard Team of Chen Ziping's department at the front of the army, responsible for resisting the charge of the Wara army, and deployed the Yanzhou Mansion Barracks of Sun Xu's headquarters on the left flank of the army, and the right battalion of the Yushan Town Guard of Gao Ran's department on the right flank of the army.

The Iron Cavalry Battalion of the Yushan Town Guard Brigade under Zhou Zongsheng is located at the rear of the army, which is the most useful for defensive counterattacks.

After the deployment of the soldiers and horses of each battalion was completed, the Great Khan of Warat Khan arrived with his army, and 100,000 Warat iron horsemen rolled over, stopped two miles in front of Liu Juntao's headquarters, and then began to allocate troops and horses.

Detachment did not spend 30,000 iron cavalry directly divided into the lead, preparing to directly level Liu Juntao's headquarters with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai, and at the same time, 10,000 iron cavalry were also divided, preparing to attack the Ming army from the flank.

In the eyes of Tokh Buhua, such an arrangement can already be called foolproof, even if the Ming army in front of him is the Ming army that defeated the Ming army and horses of the first division before, under the full blow of the elite iron cavalry of the 40,000 Khan Court, the Ming army has no reason to be defeated!

It didn't take long for the sound of a horn to sound, and the 40,000 watts of iron cavalry launched a charge at the same time, roaring towards Liu Juntao's headquarters, and the whole earth shook instantly, and the momentum of tens of thousands of Tartar iron cavalry charging was spectacular, and even the Ming soldiers on the Xizhi Gate were dumbfounded, and the morale that had just risen up suddenly dropped to freezing!

But what made Tokh Buhua unthinkable was that the momentum of the Warat army could scare others, but it couldn't scare Liu Juntao and the tens of thousands of soldiers under his command!

At this time, Zhang Xiaojun and Chen Ziping were already ready, both of them commanded their soldiers to point thousands of spears about seven meters long at the sky, deeply inserted into the battlefield, and instantly formed a "horse rejection array" that was several miles long.

While such a deployment cannot be reusable, rugged and durable, it is completely disposable.

But Liu Juntao doesn't care at all, after all, there is not much else in Yushan Town now, but there is a lot of silver, and this kind of deployment is just right!

As long as it can kill and injure a large number of Tartar troops, these spears are lost once in use, and Liu Juntao will be able to get more reinforcements from the rear in a few days, this is the embodiment of strength!

At the same time, all the thousands of bird guns of Zhang Xiaojun and Chen Ziping's generals have also been prepared, and under the protection of the shield long knife hand, thousands of jet-black bird guns have stretched out from behind the shield, ready to bombard most of the Tartars at any time.

Chinese Army.

Through the warnings of the soldiers on the lookout pole, Liu Juntao had learned that 10,000 Tartar iron horsemen were rushing from the left side of the battlefield and went straight to Sun Xu's headquarters to kill.

Liu Juntao ordered Sun Xu to lead his troops into battle, and at the same time ordered Zhou Zongsheng to be on standby at any time.

Liu Zi'an and Zhang Yuqing on the side were a little puzzled, and they didn't understand why Liu Juntao was ready to use Zhou Zongsheng's iron cavalry battalion so early, in the eyes of the two, this battle had just begun, and there were still 60,000 iron cavalry on the side of the Tartar Chinese army that had not been used, how could they prepare to use the iron cavalry battalion as soon as they came up?

Who knew that Liu Juntao said with a smile: "Don't worry, this battle will end soon!" ”

"Why is the general so sure?"

Zhang Yuqing was still a little worried, so he asked.

Liu Juntao said with a smile: "As long as the Great Khan of Warat does not take off and sees the strength of our army, he will never fight hard, and will only retreat immediately after making contact." That detachment does not take off the flower and faces the oppression of the first, but he doesn't want to lose too much strength. What's more, I estimate that now the right governor Shi Heng must have mobilized troops and horses to support Xizhimen, and the Tartars must have returned in vain this time! ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Xiaojun and Chen Ziping's troops in front of them engaged 30,000 Tartar iron cavalry at the same time.

On the battlefield, the two battalions of thousands of bird-gunners began to shoot in turn, and the huge and rhythmic sound of bird-guns echoed on the battlefield, accompanied by a huge roar, constantly taking the lives of a large number of Warat soldiers.

The fierce firepower suddenly formed a line of life and death at a distance of 100 paces in front of the Ming army's defense line, and all the Warat iron horsemen who rushed through this line without exception turned into a sieve!

At this time, the 30,000 Vala Iron Cavalry reunited with a stick of incense, but instead of rushing within a hundred paces, they lost at least 3,000 soldiers and horses!

Such casualties made Tokhtar not spend a lot of pain, and he was hesitating whether to withdraw his troops.

At this moment, the 10,000 Worat iron cavalry who raided the Ming army's large array on the left flank of the battlefield were also defeated, and more than 1,000 horses were lost under the onslaught of Sun Xu's soldiers, and then under the counterattack of Zhou Zongsheng's iron cavalry soldiers, they fled towards the Chinese army!
