With the second round of artillery bombardment, the Mongol cavalry had approached the city gate forty or fifty paces by this time. Some of the Mongols took off their bows and arrows and began to shoot towards the city.

The Mongols were nomads, although they had begun to decay over the years, and even became vassals of the Later Jin. Even the arrows of the bow and arrow are made of the bones of some animals, but their archery skills are indeed unfathomable, and they dare not say that they can penetrate Yang in a hundred steps, but the distance of thirty or forty steps really refers to where to shoot.

Although it was also protected by the city walls, the Ming army had already begun to suffer casualties at this time.

"Shoot back, shoot back".

The Ming army defending the city also dispatched archers and constantly counterattacked.

Taking advantage of this juncture, hundreds of Mongols carrying mud on their backs quickly rushed to the tunnel in front of the city gate, which was four or five meters wide and more than two meters deep.

Because Liangxiang belongs to a small county town, there are no protective measures such as moats, and this tunnel is also after getting Jiannu to enter the customs, Shi Guogang urgently sent people to dig around the county, trying to take this opportunity to delay the speed of the enemy's attack on the city tower.

"Shoot the Mongols who are near the tunnels".

Seeing that the Mongols wanted to fill in the tunnel, Shi Guogang hurriedly ordered the bow and arrow to concentrate their fire to shoot the Mongol soldiers who were close to the tunnel.

It's just that the Mongols are all bent over, their heads and bodies cowering under the dirt. So much so that the bows and arrows were generally shot on the dirt, and the lethality caused was insignificant, and they could only watch as the Mongols filled in the tunnel.

As the tunnel was filled, more than a dozen ladders quickly leaned against the city wall under the push of hundreds of Mongolian soldiers.

"Warriors rush".

A Mongolian soldier who looked like a small commander roared with a sword in his flying hand. But these words became his last words, and then a bow and arrow hit the Mongolian soldier directly in the face.

One Mongol soldier fell, but a thousand Mongol soldiers rushed to the city gates.

A Mongol soldier climbed the ladder and climbed towards the city wall, his face showing a bloodthirsty face.

The Ming army on the city wall, under the leadership of a famous general, constantly smashed stones at the Mongolian soldiers who climbed up.

"You guys go and bring me hot water."

A hundred households pointed at several young adults dressed in ordinary people's clothes and roared sharply, at this time, this hundred households were covered with blood, and the steel knife in his hand was also dripping with blood.

And these people also looked at these hundred households with a look of horror, because not long ago, this hundred households had just killed an ordinary person who had been recruited to defend the city as himself.

"Don't think about running away, remember what you wanted to run away before, otherwise this person will end up waiting."

As he spoke, he pulled an officer and soldier in military uniform and pointed at the group of civilians.

"You go down with them, and if they dare to escape, kill me directly."

If people in the era of peace, looking at the actions of this hundred households, they will definitely think that this person is ruthless, and he even killed his own compatriots, and even defended the city with him.

But if we look at it from the perspective of the war years, not only will the officers and soldiers not be punished, but will be commended. If the common man really fled, but the officer did nothing, then it would be equivalent to letting go of a small opening, and the idea of escaping would turn into a monstrous flood, flowing slowly along this opening, until a small opening was washed away.

A thousand-mile embankment collapsed in an ant nest.

The same thing happened everywhere else, not only ordinary people wanted to escape, but even officers and soldiers wanted to escape. It's just that these people who want to escape have become nameless corpses at this time, and they are wantonly discarded aside.

And among the officers and soldiers who fled, there was actually a hundred households, but the luck of this hundred households was not very good, and when he escaped, he actually ran into Shi Guogang, and was directly hacked to death by Shi Guogang's personal guards.

Due to the escape of this hundred households, there was a gap in the defense here, and several Mongolian soldiers climbed the city gate and wall along this moment. Wielding the war knife in his hand, he kept slashing and killing the surrounding Ming troops. Where have some ordinary people seen such a bloody scene, although they had constantly lifted stones and smashed them at the Mongolian soldiers who climbed up before, but the scene at that time was still some distance away from them, and it was not as direct as the vision in front of them, so they turned around and ran away in fright.

Shi Guogang kept waving the weapons in his hand, forcing these ordinary people to turn around, but unfortunately this effect was very good.

Seeing this, Shi Guogang took out the sword hanging on his waist and rushed towards the Mongolian soldiers, fighting with those Mongolian soldiers. Several guards saw that the boss of their family rushed up, and it was not good to surround these people at this time, for fear that their boss would be hurt, so they hurriedly stepped forward to relieve the siege.

Some other people saw the chaos here, and they also hurriedly dispatched personnel to reinforce here. It took great effort to block the rest of the Mongol soldiers who wanted to take this opportunity to climb up, so that these people who rushed up were killed and wounded several officers and soldiers in a state of dead fish and broken nets, and then all of them were killed.

"I didn't expect the resistance of the Ming army to be quite fierce."

Enhe Batu, who was standing at the rear of the army, looked at the city wall that shouted to kill the earth-shattering sky, and said with a solemn face.

"The children are a little lacking, or I'll send some more men to support them."

Nurnisha looked at his subordinates who had just climbed the city wall and were instantly strangled, and said with some distress.

"Our army is just looking at the reality of the Ming army this time, so let's send another 500 men and horses to support."

En and Batu thought for a moment before speaking again.

Shi Guogang, who had just repelled the attack of the Mongolian soldiers and had not yet taken a breath, looked at the Mongolian soldiers who were running again in the distance and wiped the blood on his face.

"Tell the brethren to hold on a little longer, and the Mongols will soon retreat."

Although the other party has increased his troops again, Shi Guogang saw that the other party's attack this time was just a tentative attack, and he believed that he would retreat soon.

A Mongolian soldier who was climbing the ladder suddenly felt as if there was water on his face, and it was still very hot. I couldn't help but raise my head, only to see a cloud of water rushing towards me.

Then there was a piercing shout, and he fell down the ladder, and soon lost his breath.

"Quick, pour this group of Mongols to death".

An officer and soldier who was guarding the city had already divided hot water and poured it on the Mongols who were climbing the ladder.

Compared to stones, the effect of hot water is significantly stronger than that of stones, and as buckets of hot water are poured down, the Mongol soldiers on the ladder continue to fall down the ladder.

The Mongolian soldiers who gathered at the bottom of the ladder and waited to climb were smashed to the ground by these Mongolian soldiers who fell.

If there was a large shield to protect the soldiers, it would have been possible to hold the hot water out of the body and climb the ladder. It's just that the Mongols are already so poor that they can't even afford to make arrowheads, and where are there iron tools to make shields.

"Give the order to collect the troops."

En and Batu looked at the army that could not be held at the city wall, and said calmly.

With the sound of a few gongs, the entire battlefield was swept over the battlefield, like the ebb tide of the sea, and the group of Mongol soldiers slowly retreated one by one, leaving only the corpses and wounded all over the ground screaming incessantly.

"Mugebuha, help me".

A Mongolian soldier scalded by hot water lies on the ground, looking at his companion who wants to leave.

When Mugebuha heard someone call his name, he couldn't help but look down, but at this time, this person's face had already been burned and peeled, and he couldn't recognize who it was, although the voice was very familiar.

"Mugebuha my brother, I am Ho and Batel".

When Mugebuha heard that the other party turned out to be his friend from childhood to adulthood, he just wanted to reach out and pull a handful, but he just reached out. A Mongol soldier suddenly slashed at Hohebatel with a sword in his hand.

"Mugebuha, he can't be saved anymore, it's better to die than to live like this, it's better to give a good time."

Then he pulled Mugebuha and ran back quickly.

As the Mongols fled, the cannon on the walls roared again.

Seeing that the Mongols had really retreated, the Ming army on the city wall leaned on the city wall one by one.

The war here continues, and a young man in Zhili is recruiting soldiers and starting his glorious life.
