30,000 iron horsemen of the Thorn Division swarmed and rushed towards the Ming army's array, preparing to directly attack the hundreds of thousands of Ming army's array, which made Liu Juntao and his generals angry.

Liu Juntao was also furious, these Tartars were simply arrogant, and they thought that they could block the attack of hundreds of thousands of elite Ming troops with 30,000 iron cavalry?

Liu Juntao immediately ordered the Long Xiang army to gather in the middle and prepare to meet the 30,000 Tartar iron cavalry, ordered Yan Hu, the chief military officer of Taiyuan Town, to lead the Yingyang army to attack from the left flank, and ordered Gao Ran, the chief military officer of Lu'an Town, to lead the Zhichong army to attack from the right flank, and dispatched three Tiance army officers and soldiers to attack together, preparing to annihilate the 30,000 Tatar iron cavalry that came to attack first.

At the same time, Liu Juntao ordered Sun Xu, the commander-in-chief of Pingyang Town, to lead the Huben army to rush to the aid of Tiemen Pass, and attack the Tartar army that was besieging the city from the flank; He ordered Zhou Zongsheng, the commander-in-chief of Hanhai Town, to lead the iron cavalry of the Changshui Army and the iron cavalry of the servant army to attack the main Tartar army north of Tiemen Pass, and at the same time ordered more than 100,000 captives to follow up and prepare to attack the main army of the Tartars.

As for the officers and soldiers of the various departments in Shaanxi Town, they were left in the rear by Liu Juntao as a reserve in case of emergency.

At this time, the banners of the Ming army were waved in the large array, the army was mobilized, and hundreds of thousands of Ming soldiers were mobilized in a very short time.

Zhou Zongsheng, the chief officer of Hanhai Town, first led the Changshui Army and the servant army to kill nearly 100,000 iron cavalry to the main force of the Tartars, and then more than 100,000 captive troops also rushed up, the 200,000 army was huge, and the main army of the Duohuo Thorn Division in the distance did not dare to slack off, at this time, in addition to the 100,000 Tartar infantry soldiers who had already entered the Iron Gate Pass, and the 30,000 iron cavalry who blocked the main force of the Ming army, the remaining 170,000 iron cavalry troops were all assembled, and they were killed against the 200,000 Ming army!

The more than 300,000 armies of the two sides collided together in an instant, and the sound of killing shook the sky!

Zhou Zongsheng led nearly 100,000 Ming iron cavalry troops to rush into the enemy formation first, as if they had hit a hard city wall, and the charging momentum of the iron cavalry army was instantly contained.

At this moment, more than 100,000 captive troops also joined the battlefield and rushed forward against the Tartar army, but most of the more than 100,000 captive troops were foot soldiers, and their combat power was lower than that of the Changshui Army and the servant army, so although the strength was more than 100,000, it still could not control the battle situation.

In this battle, the soldiers of the Changshui Army raised their three-eyed guns and fired at the first time, but then they were counterattacked by the Tartar Iron Cavalry Army's rain of arrows, and the two Iron Cavalry armies immediately launched a fierce hedge fight, the battlefield roared and neighed, and the killing sound shook the sky, and the battlefield of the 370,000 army was constantly intertwined and fought on the battlefield for more than ten miles, and the soldiers and horses on both sides immediately fell into a bloody war of attrition!

Northeast of Iron Gate Pass.

"Put!"

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

"Fire!"

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

"Shoot!"

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

When 30,000 Tartar cavalry rushed over to block the Ming army, the Longxiang army, the Eagle Yang army, and the Zhichong army opened fire almost at the same time, and the artillery of the three divisions fired from the front, left flank, and right flank at the same time, and the fierce artillery fire suddenly shrouded the 30,000 Tartar iron cavalry, and the storm composed of iron and fire made the 30,000 Tartar iron cavalry suffer heavy casualties, especially the firepower of the Eagle Yang Army and the Zhichong Army on the left and right flanks, which made the formation of the Tartar Iron Cavalry army chaotic.

But what surprised Liu Juntao was that the 30,000 Tartar iron cavalry were still attacking, even if they suffered heavy casualties under the fierce blows of the soldiers of the Tiance Army, the iron cavalry army was still charging, and at this time, it was only more than a hundred steps away from the dragon army formation in front!

"Sure enough, it's a fierce rival!"

Liu Juntao immediately shouted: "The divine machine gun truck is fired, and the bird gun array is ready!" ”

"Put!"

"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! ”

"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! ”

Dozens of artillery trucks opened fire together, and the rockets in the sky smashed into the Tartar Iron Cavalry Army, and the Iron Cavalry Army, which had already suffered a lot of casualties, was hit hard, and the Iron Cavalry soldiers in the front row almost fell in pieces.

Immediately afterwards, the three or 40,000 birds of the three divisions of the Longxiang Army, the Eagle Yang Army, and the Zhichong Army opened fire almost simultaneously, and the dense firepower from the front, the left and right flanks formed an intertwined firepower network, which immediately pulled the Tartar Iron Cavalry army into the Sea of Death!

The words were divided into two ends, just when Liu Juntao led the three soldiers of the Tiance Army to besiege the Tartar Iron Cavalry Army, and Zhou Zongsheng led the 200,000 troops and the 170,000 Tartar Iron Cavalry in a bloody battle, Sun Xu, the chief military officer of Pingyang Town, had already led the Tiger Ben Army to kill outside the Iron Gate Pass.

At this time, under the iron gate, there was a dense army of Tartar foot soldiers, who were crowding under the city wall and squirming forward.

Although the Tatar infantry army has entered the pass, the Vietnamese cavalry soldiers guarding the Tiemen Pass are still fighting and are engaged in fierce street battles with the Tatar infantry army.

Seeing this, Sun Xu immediately dispatched the Iron Cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army to cut off the rear route of tens of thousands of Tartar infantry soldiers in order to shake the enemy's morale, and then commanded the left and right battalions of the Tiger Ben Army to attack.

Seeing the roar of artillery and the roar of birds, 10,000 officers and men of the Tiger Ben Army opened the way with sharp firearms such as artillery, bird guns, and Shenji artillery carts, and immediately tore a hole in the formation of the tens of thousands of Tartar infantry troops.

Sun Xu was anxious when he saw this, but at this time, he was racing against time, and he must rush into the pass as soon as possible and recapture the pass with the soldiers of the Yue cavalry!

So, Sun Xu immediately led the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army to meet him and launched an attack with an army of 30,000 or 40,000 Tartar foot soldiers.

Outside the Iron Gate Pass, the hundreds of thousands of troops on both sides were divided into three battlefields, which had been completely mixed together, and it was difficult to separate.

And inside the Iron Gate Pass, Chen Ziping, the chief military officer of Zezhou Town, is also taking the lead, leading a hundred heavily armored guards to charge, followed by thousands of bird gunners who have already loaded their bayonets.

"Soldiers! Take back the city, kill! ”

As a soldier of the Tiance Army, he was taken down by the Tartars, driven into the city by the Tartars, and forced to engage in street fighting, which is already a great shame for the soldiers of the Tiance Army!

At this time, the soldiers of the Vietnamese cavalry who were engaged in street battles with the Tartar army were all furious, and they continued to attack under the leadership of Chen Ziping.

However, during the period when the Vietnamese cavalry soldiers held the Iron Gate Pass, most of the ammunition had been exhausted, and almost all the bird gunners had already started hand-to-hand combat with bayonets, and in the face of the Tartar army with several times their own strength and high morale, they could only hold the defense line in the city at this time, and attacked several times in succession, but they could not repel the tens of thousands of Tartar troops who rushed into the city. After a period of fighting, there were only more than 60 people left in the 100 heavily armored guards around Chen Ziping, almost all of whom were injured, while there were more and more Tartar foot soldiers around, and hundreds of people rushed over with a roar.

As a last resort, Chen Ziping led his troops to retreat, and joined up with hundreds of birds and gunners behind, and everyone made every effort to stabilize the battle line and swear not to retreat!

"The head town! All the ministries are in a hurry, there are too many of these Tartars, and they have good combat power and are not afraid of death, so it is not a way to go on like this! ”

Zheng Yaozu, the general of the left battalion of the Vietnamese cavalry army, said loudly, the gauze wrapped around his right arm had been stained red with blood, and it was still dripping blood at this time.

Chen Ziping gasped tiredly, his eyes were full of anger and unwillingness, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Light the third wolf smoke!" ”

The surrounding soldiers of the Vietnamese cavalry army felt hot on their faces when they heard this, this was a signal to announce the imminent defeat, since the establishment of the Tiance Army, no one had used this signal!

This was already a great shame for the soldiers of the Vietnamese cavalry, almost all the soldiers of the Vietnamese cavalry felt ashamed, no one around them went to give the order to light the wolf smoke, and everyone was roaring and fighting with the enemy.

Chen Ziping was also furious when he saw this, although it was very embarrassing to light the third wolf smoke, but the battle has been fought until now, and he can't take care of it, once the Iron Gate Pass is lost, the main force of the hundreds of thousands of Ming troops outside the pass will fall into a situation of advance and retreat, and the morale of the army will also plummet, and the Iron Gate Pass must be guarded!

"Go and light the wolf smoke!"

Chen Ziping dragged over a thousand presidents, roaring angrily, that thousand presidents were full of confusion, roared angrily, and turned around and ran away with a few of his subordinates.

After a while, a third stream of wolf smoke rose into the sky, and the entire battlefield was clearly visible.

Liu Juntao looked at this wolf smoke from afar, and his heart was very uneasy. At this time, the three battlefields outside the Iron Gate Pass were almost in a stalemate, only their own side still had the upper hand and had already won the battle, but it was still unrealistic to end the battle in a short time.

It can be said that the combat effectiveness of the Duohuo Ti Department has exceeded Liu Juntao's expectations, this Tartar has sufficient troops and strong combat power, and is not afraid of losing troops like other Hu tribes, avoiding facing the Ming army head-on, but daring to face the main force of the Ming army, and even fighting back and forth!

This also strengthened Liu Juntao's plan to annihilate the Duohuo Ti Division, even if he disabled the main force of the Ming army, he would annihilate the Duo Huo Ti Division!

"Order Niu Linghe, the chief officer of Shaanxi Town, to go to war, and immediately lead the soldiers of all departments of Shaanxi Town to rush to the aid of Tiemen Pass!"

Liu Juntao dispatched the last reserve force, and Niu Linghe, the chief officer of Shaanxi Town, immediately led more than 30,000 soldiers of Shaanxi Town to attack, and it only took half an hour to kill outside the Iron Gate Pass, and successfully joined the soldiers of the Huben Army.

The addition of more than 30,000 soldiers from Shaanxi Town, suddenly reversed the situation on the battlefield, Niu Ling and Sun Xu joined forces, and immediately defeated the tens of thousands of Tartar infantry troops outside the Tiemen Pass, and then Sun Xu led the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army to line up outside the Tiemen Pass, and built a strong defense line to prevent the Tartar army from counterattacking again.

At the same time, Niu Ling and led the soldiers of Shaanxi Town to rush into the Tiemen Pass, and all the more than 20,000 Tartar foot soldiers who did not escape from the Tiemen Pass in time were dumplings, and the soldiers of Shaanxi Town and the soldiers of the Yue Cavalry joined forces to annihilate all the more than 20,000 Tartar foot soldiers, and no one survived!
