Datong Town.

The sun is setting, and the remnant sun is like blood.

The original majestic city walls of Datong Town have become bloodstained, and the city is full of corpses, and the bloodstains that have turned black, broken weapons, and dead war horses have become chaotic during the flooding period.

At this time, the defenders at the head of the city were all preparing for the next big battle, and everyone no longer had the optimism they had before the war.

Even Xue Tong, the chief military officer of Datong Town, had a solemn face, he didn't expect that the Wara army would be so rampant in the south this time, and he didn't care about the Tiance army that was supporting the north, and directly attacked the city with all his might, giving the defenders of Datong Town a blow to the head.

Warat Khan also led the army to the city first, directly mobilized 30,000 iron cavalry to attack, and carried out a fierce attack on Datong Town for a day and a night, such a way of fighting at any cost, so that the morale of the defenders of Datong Town plummeted, and more than 3,000 people were killed and injured in one day and night, which is not counting the casualties of the townsmen and people!

Although the Datong defenders also captured hundreds of Tartar captives this time, and the Warat army must have taken away a lot of companion corpses when they withdrew, but under such consumption, the defenders of Datong Town were a little unable to support it.

At this time, the Great Khan of Warat also led the army to retreat for the time being, and the 100,000 Warat army set up camp thirty miles north of Datong Town, obviously determined to take Datong Town.

At the same time, the Great Khan of Warat also sent a large army of iron cavalry to block the east, west, and north of Datong Town, so as to prevent Shanxi Town in the west and Xuanfu Town in the east from sending troops to support.

Once the Ming army in Shanxi and Xuanfu made a move, the Great Khan of Warat would first lead a large force of iron cavalry to attack.

At this time, the only thing that the soldiers and civilians in Datong could count on was the soldiers of the Tiance Army who were heading north.

"I hope that this time General Liu can defeat the Tartars like last time!"

The chief soldier Xue Tong had been commanding the battle at the head of the city for a day and a night, and at this time he only felt tired and couldn't hold on any longer, so he explained to his subordinates and went back to the chief soldier's mansion to rest.

In the middle of the night, there was silence in Datong City, most of the defenders had fallen asleep, and the townspeople and people in the city also returned to the city to station.

Xue Tong didn't dare to hand over the matter of guarding the city at night, so he could only let the defenders do it himself.

At this time, at the head of the city, only hundreds of sentinels were distributed everywhere and watched vigilantly outside, and the cold wind blew on these soldiers, which was enough to make people freeze their hearts.

After a while, the cold wind in the middle of the night became stronger and stronger, and the sound of the call sign was like the howl of a ghost, which made people listen to their hearts.

At this time, a general on duty suddenly raised his ears and whispered to his subordinates: "Listen! What a sound this is! ”

The captain was also lying on the arrow stack, listening intently outside.

The general was about to open his mouth to speak, when he suddenly heard a sound of breaking through the air, and an arrow was immediately nailed to the neck of the captain, who let out a leaking sound and fell headlong under the city wall.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! ”

The general shouted at the top of his throat, and the city head suddenly became a clamory, and the nearby soldiers got up and ran to their defensive positions, and the torches on the city head were lit one after another, and the entire north wall of Datong Town was like a huge fire dragon, which appeared in the wilderness almost instantly.

Almost at the same time, a little fire appeared in the wilderness north of Datong Town, and then countless torches were lit, and countless stars appeared in the wilderness, illuminating the earth as if it were day.

"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! ”

"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! ”

Just when the defenders at the head of the city were terrified, countless arrows pierced the sky and smashed on the head of the city, and the defenders on the north city wall raised their shields to dodge, and many soldiers were hit by arrows one after another.

Outside the city, King Saikan led an army of 30,000 to raid at night, preparing to take the northern city wall in one fell swoop.

At this time, 5,000 archers were struggling to fire a volley, and the city had been completely suppressed, and the remaining 25,000 troops had been assembled, and they could directly attack the city as soon as the king of Saikan gave an order.

"Four more shots!"

King Saikan was not in a hurry to attack, after all, the army under his command did not have too many siege equipment except for the ladder, so he could only rely on the rain of arrows to kill and injure the Ming army as much as possible and reduce the casualties of his department.

Arrows like a torrential rain continue to fall, there is no figure on the north wall of Datong Town, although there are more than a dozen artillery pieces on the head of the city, and there are still many archers and musketeers among the defenders, but at this time the Ming army has lost the opportunity, under the full salvo of five thousand archers of the Wara army, it is simply powerless to fight back!

"Almost!"

The sword in the hand of the king of Saikan was raised forward, and the 25,000 troops behind him suddenly rushed forward with a roar, and countless cloud ladders were carried towards the city wall, but the 5,000 archers still did not stop, but worked harder, frantically firing arrows towards the city.

At the same time, Xue Tong, the chief military officer of Datong Town, had already rushed to the north city wall, and under the protection of a group of shield-wielding soldiers, he roared loudly: "Prepare for war!" Prepare for battle! Archers and bird gunners counterattack! Fight back! ”

The Ming soldiers at the head of the city were also ruthless at this time, and they came out to counterattack, but under the dense rain of arrows of the Wara army, the casualties of the Ming soldiers began to increase sharply.

However, it was precisely because of this that arrows and lead bullets began to shoot at the city, and they started firing at the Warat army, and even a few cannon roars were heard from time to time.

But it was too late, the 25,000 Wharat army had already rushed to the bottom of the city, dozens of ladders were erected, and the siege battle officially began!

"Engage! Engage! ”

The general soldier Xue Tong's voice was already hoarse, but he was still roaring loudly, beckoning the family members around him to step forward to press the formation, and the figure of the Wara soldiers began to appear on the city, fighting fiercely with the soldiers of the Ming army, and suddenly flesh and blood flew sideways.

The townspeople and the people in the city were all awakened, and thousands of villagers were organized to pour into the north city wall, and many people were also gathered in the city, ready to go to the city at any time to garrison.

It was already dawn, but the fierce battle had already entered the white heat.

Whether it was the king of Saikan outside the city, or Xue Tong, the general soldier who was commanding the city to defend the city, he had already exhausted all his strength at this time.

Once the sky is bright, it is extremely unfavorable for the besieging army, so the king of the journal is rushing for time.

In the face of the increasingly intensive attack of the Warat army, Xue Tong was also ruthless, and constantly mobilized the townspeople and defenders in the city to fight to the end.

North of Datong Town.

The Great Khan of Warat and the general Alazhiyuan led an army of 50,000 to assemble in the wilderness, and their faces were very solemn.

"Great Khan, it seems that this time it is impossible to win the same thing."

The Great Khan also heard that his face was even more ugly, and said: "Ben Khan originally wanted to take Datong City first, and then ~ advance to attack, retreat to defend, even if Liu Juntao led the army to arrive, we also have an advantage." It's a pity, the guards in this Datong city are really difficult, although they don't dare to go out of the city to fight, but they also have some skills to defend the city! ”

The general Arazhiyuan was about to advise Yexian whether to let the army withdraw first.

Suddenly, there were bursts of cheers from the direction of Datong Town, and the Great Khan was also surprised by the general Alazhiyuan, and the two subconsciously thought that it was the king of Saikan who led the army into Datong City.

But it didn't take long for the two of them to receive a message sent by the king of Saikan: the Tiance army had arrived and was entering the city from the south gate of Datong Town!

Hearing the news, the Great Khan also shook his horsewhip with a gloomy face, and rode away without saying a word.

The general Arazhiyuan looked at the figure that also went away first, waved his hand, and commanded the army to retreat slowly.

The king of the race in front was also directing the siege army to withdraw.

After the withdrawal of the Warat army, the first rays of sunlight in the morning finally sprinkled on the town of Datong.

The attack of the Warat army came and went quickly at night, but it also caused thousands of casualties to the defenders of Datong Town.

After Xue Tong, the chief military officer of Datong Town, saw Liu Juntao, he excitedly grabbed Liu Juntao and said, "Thank you General Liu for coming to support!" ”

Liu Juntao said with a smile: "We are all comrades, you and I don't have to be polite." ”

Subsequently, Liu Juntao commanded the officers and men of various armies to enter the city and station, and asked about the fierce fighting during this time.
