Chapter 137: The Battle of Willow River 3 (Ask for Recommendation, Ask for Collection)

Time passed minute by minute, and the Ming army organized several attacks in a row, but failed to break into the breach.

The eastern sky showed a few traces of fish belly white, and the sky was about to dawn.

In the firelight, looking at the soldiers whose morale was already low, Li Chengxian felt that something was wrong.

The city of Yaozhou was a little too quiet, and apart from the fierce fighting at the breach here, there was hardly any disturbance elsewhere. Liu Boqiao's internal response was also inactive.

Not to mention that the city gate was opened, there was not a single riot at the city gate.

Yaozhou's reaction made Li Chengxian regret his decision to attack overnight.

"Damn." Li Chengxian scolded depressedly. Now he is in a dilemma, and he feels a little difficult to ride a tiger.

The Ming army rushed to Yaozhou overnight, without siege equipment at all, not even the most basic ladder.

At this point in the battle, the breach here could not be attacked for a long time, and no one opened the city gate, and for a time the Ming army had no way to show Yaozhou.

At this moment, Li Chengxian attacked the breach of the city wall (of course, it is best to break through), attracting the enemy's attention, and his wishful plan to cover the opening of the city gate was completely shattered.

Seeing that his subordinates repeatedly attacked to no avail, Li Chengxian retreated in his heart.

"Why don't you retreat first, build a camp, and wait for Lu Zhijia to bring siege equipment before attacking?" Li Chengxian looked at Yaozhou and thought in his heart. But when he saw the breach that was still full of torches, Li Chengxian was still reluctant to give up.

"Let's attack one last time, and if it doesn't work, we will retreat." Li Chengxian still wants to make a last stand.

"Liu Boqiao, take your people to rush, and the officers and soldiers will give you close cover." Li Chengxian shouted loudly. Try it with Xiangyong, the headquarters still needs to guard against the impact of the other party's opening of the city, and it can't be lost anymore.

Liu Boqiao, who couldn't hold back for a long time, roared with red eyes, and took the lead in rushing towards the breach of the city wall. Behind him, countless township brave volunteers followed him and rushed towards Yaozhou without hesitation.

At the breach, Mi Juli suddenly felt the pressure in front of him increase sharply, and the heavily armored defense line seemed to be about to be unable to hold on.

"What's going on?" Mi Huri, who was still thinking about how to release the water, became solemn.

"Is it a desperate gamble on the part of the Ming army?"

Mi Huli didn't know that the opponent he faced had been replaced by a local township volunteer in Yaozhou.

The township brave volunteers gathered by Liu Boqiao had no training at all.

All they have endured is endless humiliation from the Houjin Tartars.

The township brave volunteers who followed Liu Boqiao as the first wave of charges all had a deep blood feud with the Houjin Tartars.

They're not here to fight, they're just here to fight.

They don't have any formation at all;

They will only climb up the breaches in dense packs;

They don't wield knives and guns, they wield farm tools;

But in the face of the Tartars' swords and spears, flesh and blood flew but they were still not afraid;

On this battlefield, there is only one thing they will have, and that is to drag the enemy into the endless hell together!

Mi Huli watched several armored soldiers on the defense line being dragged down by Xiang Yong, and in the struggle, they were pulled by Xiang Yong towards the breach, and then pushed down the city from the breach, without a sound.

In an instant, the Houjin defense line, which easily withstood the Ming army's attack in the middle of the night, turned out to be precarious under the attack of Xiang Yong.

Seeing that Xiang Yong actually rushed into the inside of the breach, Li Chengxian was overjoyed, and the hope of victory rose in his heart.

"Fuck, let Lao Tzu climb up and shoot," Li Chengxian shouted: "Kill a Tartar, reward 5 coins." ”

Under the order of Li Chengxian, under the temptation of heavy rewards, and under the hope of victory, the Ming army followed behind Xiang Yong and climbed the breach for the first time. The Ming army, which was preparing to evacuate everywhere, was once again put into the battlefield.

Boom, the close-range shot from the musket instantly knocked down several Houjin heavy armor, and the Houjin defense line was about to collapse.

At the breach of the city wall of Yaozhou, the collapse of the defense line was imminent.

Mi was shocked: he didn't release the water, what's wrong? How could the Ming army suddenly become so tough?

"Signal, roll the wood, and the archers come forward." Mi Huri screamed loudly as she rushed forward. He personally added to the ranks of the armorers.

Don't think about it too much, let's resist the Ming army first, right?

As soon as they fought, Mi Yuli understood why the defense line was on the verge of collapsing.

The other party is really, really desperate!

Mi Yuli slashed into the chest of a village warrior with a single knife. No, it was that Xiang Yong who deliberately opened his arms and met his big knife with his chest. That Xiang Yong's act of sending him to death was just to hug Mi Yuli's arm tightly.

In the face of such a warrior who swore to death, the cold sweat in Mi Yuli instantly soaked the inner armor on his body.

After he used his hands and feet to shake off the dead warrior in a desperate way, Mi found that he had been taken out of the way. And at this step, one of his heavily armored companions who was covering him was dragged away by the Ming army. If it weren't for the timely support, then he would ......

"Why hasn't the signal been sent yet? Why isn't there support yet? This was the first time to take a look, and Mi Juli felt as if a long time had passed, and the Ming army on the other side gave him a terrifying feeling.

The desperate Xiangyong is here again!

Three chirps sounded, and the wind and clouds at the breach changed abruptly.

A rain of arrows rose from behind the Houjin defense line, shooting the Ming gunners and Xiang Yong who had climbed up the breach to the ground.

At the same time, countless rolling logs and stones were suddenly thrown out of the city walls on both sides of the breach, knocking down a large number of Ming troops and Xiangyong who were crowded at the breach.

The breach instantly turned into a flesh mill.

The Ming army and Xiang Yong suddenly suffered such a heavy blow, and they were in chaos for a while.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves like thunder sounded in the distance, and Borjin led a group of cavalry to rush towards the Ming army from a distance.

There are actually not many people brought by Borjin, only more than 200 people, but the configuration of one person, two horses or even three horses makes his team look black and overwhelming. In the twilight of the sky, the Ming army could not tell whether there was anyone or no one at all.

The impact of the cavalry is not something that the village brave volunteers can withstand with a single bloody bravery.

Countless Xiang Yong who met the attack were knocked down or even knocked away by the horses. The overwhelming onslaught of cavalry instantly destroyed the scattered front of the townsmen and seriously crushed their confidence.

The Xiangyong volunteers collapsed.

"Horse formation."

When the sound of hooves came, Li Chengxian roared and began to summon his cronies.

The appearance of the Houjin cavalry dealt a heavy blow to Li Chengxian's confidence. The hope of victory that I had just seen was instantly shattered by the iron hooves of the cavalry. Instead, the Ming army fell to the brink of collapse.

Under the breach, the gunners of the Ming army and the Xiangyong volunteers were mixed together, and they could not fight against the Houjin cavalry at all. If you want to keep the situation from collapsing, you must interrupt the onslaught of the opposing cavalry.

The cavalry brought by Li Chengxian, except for a few who dismounted and fought on foot, there were at least more than 200 people riding on horses, as long as they could assemble and rush up to interrupt the charge of the Houjin cavalry, entangle with the Houjin cavalry, and reduce the speed of the Houjin cavalry, they could give full play to the advantage of the Ming army.

At that time, the Ming army would not necessarily lose.
