Chapter Ninety-Eight: Radical General

On that day, the Tartars took turns to carry out several tentative attacks, looking for weak points in the city's fire resistance.

When they were almost touched, they stopped attacking and set up camp outside Datong Mansion to bury pots and cook food.

Geng Ruqi glanced at the sky, he estimated that the Tartar would not attack again for a while, and also ordered to bury the pot to cook and recuperate.

Soon it was dark, and Geng Ruqi looked at the brightly lit camp that stretched for many miles of Tartars, and his face was solemn.

"My lord, you should step up your patrols at night to avoid night attacks by the Tartars." Zhang Honggong suggested.

"Okay, give the order, step up patrols in case the Tartars attack at night."

That night, from time to time, people in the Tartars were jumping around with torches, and the soldiers defending the city were nervous and restless.

A peaceful night.

At dawn, the sergeants, who had been frightened all night, relaxed and yawned.

None of them noticed that some of the Tartars had crept up to the walls, flicked their hooks at the weak points they had discovered, and climbed up the ropes.

The sergeants, who had been tense all night, relaxed at this moment and fell asleep against the wall.

The tartar who climbed the city wall easily wiped the neck of the sleeping sergeant.

More and more Tartars climbed the walls, and after obliterating the sleeping soldiers, they began to drop explosives into the cannonballs in the stomping mouths, not for the purpose of taking the city, but to destroy the artillery of the city.

In this section of the city wall, the sergeant who was sleeping in the watchtower kowtowed his head and sobered up a little, he rubbed his eyes, looked at the tartars on the city wall, and screamed in horror while ringing the alarm bell.

"Enemy attack! Here comes the Tartar!"

"Dangdang~"

"Whew!"

The sharpshooter in the Tartar shoots an arrow, and an arrow closes the throat and kills the sergeant who is warning him.

The soldiers defending the city moved when they heard the noise, and they rushed up to fight the Tartars who had climbed the walls.

Geng Ruqi got up when he heard the sound, he didn't wear any shoes, and with his sword in his hand, he commanded the sergeants of the Fubiao battalion to kill the city wall.

"Boom Boom Boom~"

The Tartars, who climbed the city walls, recklessly ignited explosives, destroyed dozens of cannons, and then fought to the death with the sergeants.

By the time Geng Ruqi climbed the city wall, the Tartars had already been killed.

However, this section of the defense lacked dozens of artillery pieces.

Geng Ruqi thought about it again and again, and brought in artillery from the southern city wall to replenish it.

He felt that after dawn the Tartars would surely storm this section of the wall.

What he didn't notice was that by the night, a few Tartars under the city who could see at night witnessed the whole process of his cannon adjustment.

After daybreak, the Tartars launched a fierce attack from this section of the wall.

However, under the rounds of fire from the Furlong cannons, nothing was found except for a few hundred corpses.

Geng Ruqi looked at the retreating Tartar and stroked his beard with satisfaction.

"Oh no, no." A small soldier defending the south of the city ran over in a panic.

"Panic, calm down, and speak slowly." Geng Ruqi frowned dissatisfiedly.

"To the south of the city, the Tartars have attacked from the south of the city." The soldier said in horror.

Geng Ruqi's heart sank, and he immediately said: "Kill the enemy with this governor!" ”

"Kill!"

When the sergeants heard that the Tartars were coming from the south, they rushed to their aid.

"Put the stone! Pour the gold juice! ”

By the time they arrived, the southern part of the city had not been completely lost, but there were already Tartars who had climbed up the siege ladder.

Most of the Tartars were still kept out of the city.

The Tartar who attacked the city wall was heavily armoured, and it was usually difficult for swords and spears to penetrate him, and several soldiers had to attack together and penetrate through the cracks in his armor to kill him.

Basically, it takes four sergeants to kill a heavily armored Tartar. Hot Books

When Geng Ruqi arrived, he looked at the Tartars who kept climbing up from the siege ladder, and roared angrily: "Archer, shoot!" ”

"Woo Woo Woo ~ "

The rain of arrows struck, and the dense Tartars under the city suddenly suffered heavy casualties.

"Ten thousand enemies!"

The sergeants threw themselves down, and then a terrible cry rang out, and four or five Tartars who were climbing on the ladder caught fire and fell.

A few Tartars with shields under the ladder were held by the fire men who had been smashed down, and they suffered an unjustified disaster and were burned alive and died.

As more 10,000 enemies were thrown down, the Tartars under the city were in chaos, and from time to time there were Tartars running around with fire all over their bodies, and they would hug people when they saw them, and they would not let go, and the Tartars who were held by them were basically declared dead.

The soldiers fought a bloody battle for a pillar of incense, and the Tartars who attacked the south gate were wiped out, and the Tartars under the city were even more frightened by the golden juice and ten thousand enemies, and they had the idea of retreating.

As the Tartars withdrew their troops, the Tartars under the city suddenly fled frantically, and they didn't want to continue attacking the city for a moment.

"Report, the Tartars bombarded the north gate with artillery, and a corner of the city gate was blown down, please come to the aid quickly."

Geng Ruqi, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, became nervous again, strengthened his spirits, and shouted: "Kill the enemy with this governor!" ”

In the city of Datong Mansion, the sergeants rushed towards the north gate again.

By the time they reached the north gate, many Tartars had poured in through the gap in the gate.

Some heavily armored Tartars were at the forefront of the city gates, slashing at the soldiers who came to besiege the city gates, and the Tartars at the city gates kept widening the gaps in the gates with knives and guns, and more and more Tartars poured in.

"Three-eyed gun, let's go!"

Zhang Honggong was furious and ordered his three-eyed guns to repel the heavily armored tartars in front of him.

"Spear and shield soldiers, there is no advance or retreat!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

Although the heavy armor could resist the slash of the sword, it was still put down in the face of the extremely powerful three-eyed gun.

As the heavy armor dispersed, the Tartars behind them were directly exposed to the eyes of the spear and shield soldiers.

The spear borrowed the pressure of the long shield and approached step by step.

The Tartar who rushed up was blocked by the shield, and then stabbed to death by the spear behind the shield, and for a time the blood flowed at the gate of the northern city.

The Tartars rushed several times in a row but could not break through the blockade of the spear and shield soldiers, and in panic, the Tartars retreated one after another.

However, the Tartars outside the city thought they had attacked, and rushed forward frantically.

The Tartars who were squeezed in front of the spear and shield soldiers had only one way to die, and under the persecution of death, these Tartars actually swung their swords at their kindred, slashed a bloody way, and fled back.

The Tartars outside the city, seeing such a scene, were immediately frightened and ran back after the group.

How could Zhang Honggong let them run back like this, he ran to the city wall at the moment and ordered the archers and artillery men to attack at the same time.

The fleeing Tartars were killed.

After this attack, the Tartars quieted down and did not continue the attack, but went back to the camp to bury the pot and cook.

Seeing this, Geng Ruqi ordered the soldiers to repair the city gate immediately, so that the Tartars would not directly attack the north gate next time.

For a whole day and a night, the Tartars did not move again, as if they were not ready to attack again.

In fact, they were all wrong, and the Tartars did not intend to give up the attack, but ran around and captured some of the people.

Although Wang Zezhi ordered his cavalry to relocate the soldiers and civilians in the name of a false holy decree, there were still some people who were unwilling to leave.

These people are either lucky or too stubborn to leave their homeland.

On the second day, at dawn, the Tartars stripped the captured people naked and dragged them back and forth on horseback.

They did this for the sole purpose of provoking the defending soldiers and getting them out of the city to fight.

On the city wall, both the sergeants and the soldiers were all stunned.

"My lord, the last general asks to go to war."

"The last general is going to fight!"

"The last general is going to fight!"

The soldiers were so angry by the scene in front of them that they hated to tear the tartars.
