Chapter 136: The Battle of Willow River 2 (Ask for Recommendation, Ask for Collection)
Hearing the spies' report, Borjin was not surprised. He laughed out loud, "Good, good, just what I want." Come out of town with me, little ones! ”
After Yaozhou, the Golden Eight Banner soldiers quickly took action.
Li Chengxian looked at the team for several miles, and his heart was full of desire to make contributions. He didn't expect Liu Boqiao to be able to summon so many township warriors.
Look at the size of this team, there are as many as 3 or 4,000 people. When attacking the city, with so many villagers helping him, his chances of winning increased by a few points.
From Liu Boqiao's mouth, Li Chengxian also got a bigger piece of good news. The breach in the city wall of Yaozhou has not been repaired.
This means that as long as the Ming army can rush to the city of Yaozhou, it is likely that they can take Yaozhou with one charge. If he can regain the lost territory in Yaozhou, this credit is enough for him to be promoted to the next level. Thinking of this, Li Chengxian's heart became extremely hot.
The winding Ming army, under the urging of Li Chengxian, approached Yaozhou overnight.
Liu Boqiao looked at Yaozhou City in the dark, his eyes full of hatred. He stared at Yaozhou, his teeth clenched tightly, but his heart seemed to be burning: "Beasts, your retribution is coming." ”
In the dark, Li Chengxian led the Ming army of his headquarters, and under the leadership of Liu Boqiao, slowly approached an obvious breach in the Yaozhou city wall.
Liu Boqiao was right, the huge breach in the city wall could be clearly seen even in the dark. On closer inspection, the breach in the wall has been simply repaired, but it is still dilapidated.
"There really is a breach!" Li Chengxian was overjoyed.
"With this breach, it should be easy to take Yaozhou." Li Chengxian's confidence burst instantly.
Li Chengxian, who was full of pride, waved his hand vigorously, and the Ming army behind him scattered in formation and approached the city wall.
In the distance, there seemed to be a light flickering at the breach, and it was possible that the Tartars had discovered the arrival of the Ming army and were mobilizing troops and horses.
"Damn, it's bad luck to be discovered." Li Chengxian took a sip into the ground.
Li Chengxian didn't expect to really hide from the Tartars in the city. If you don't explain the army, just the mighty team of township brave volunteers can't hide their whereabouts at all.
If you want to attack Yaozhou at night, the best way is to send a small group of elites to occupy the breach of the city wall at night, and then the brigade will take advantage of the situation to rush into the city.
But out of fear of the Tartars' combat power, the Ming army could not even select such daredevils. In desperation, Li Chengxian could only choose to attack by the brigade.
Of course, Li Chengxian did not think that only 3 or 400 defenders of the damaged Yaozhou could block the attack of his thousands of men.
"Command, assault."
Li Cheng stared at the breach of the city wall without looking back, and issued an order to attack. Lao Tzu is clearly here, so many people, can you stop it?
With Li Chengxian's order, the Ming army accelerated and rushed towards the breach of the city wall. In the faint light of the fire, the huge city wall was broken, like the mouth of a monster, exuding an eerie aura.
The leading Ming army is Li Chengxian's confidant. Several family members wore chain mail that did not hinder movement, and held spears and broadswords and other long-handled weapons, and rushed to the foot of the city wall silently.
was able to rush to the city wall smoothly, and several people's faces were a little relieved. When they saw that the breach of the city wall was really just more than one person high from the ground, the corners of their mouths showed a little smile.
It's easy to climb at this height. It seems that Yaozhou is really easy to fight.
Let's go!
Li Chengxian watched from a distance as Jiading took the lead in climbing up the breach, and his heart was overjoyed.
It's done, as long as you rush forward, you'll be more than half successful.
At this moment, a sharp chirp sounded. The leading family member shook his body and fell from the breach. There was more fire in the breach.
"Damn, it's just the right time for the Tartars to arrive." Li Chengxian stomped his feet hatefully and shouted: "Brothers, those who rush in first will be rewarded with 10 taels of silver." ”
Hearing the high reward, the morale of the Ming army was suddenly high, and they rushed towards the breach with shouts.
The Yaozhou offensive and defensive battle was officially launched.
Deep in the breach of the city wall, the corners of Mi Yuli's mouth showed a cruel smile, Ming Pig is really easy to deceive.
The breach of the Yaozhou city wall was a trap specially left by Boljin for the Ming army.
In fact, as early as 3 days ago, Boljin had already caught the spies sent by Liu Boqi. Ever since the spies learned that the Ming army was about to attack, Boljin has been thinking hard about how to break the enemy.
Yaozhou is not easy to guard!
Dajin only has one Niu Lu's army in Yaozhou. Although 100 armor was strengthened, there were only more than 400 people. Although his Niu Lu is all soldiers, it is still difficult to defend the huge Yaozhou.
To be honest, just a few hundred of his people are not even enough to occupy the city wall of Yaozhou. What's more, the huge hole in the wall of Yaozhou has not been repaired.
"It's better to fight in the field with the Ming army." Borjin muttered frustratedly.
In the field, Borjin was confident that he could defeat the Ming army within 2,000 with 400 men in his hands.
Half-crossing or wilderness ambush? Borgin turned to think of another way.
Attacking halfway could only thwart the advance of the Ming army. But if it is an ambush in the wild, Liuhe is too close to Yaozhou to find a suitable location for an ambush.
When it was discovered that there were only more than 2,000 people in the Ming army, Borjin came up with a whimsical plan. He wanted to annihilate the Ming army.
The breach of the Yaozhou city wall From the outside of the city, there is no figure of the Houjin Tartar at all. The seemingly huge breach has actually been restricted by the post-gold tartar with many miscellaneous obstacles.
The narrowest part of the breach can only accommodate 5 people together. And here, Houjin Heavy Armor has firmly sealed the forward passage.
Borjin wanted to use the breach to attract the main attack of the Ming army, killing and exhausting the Ming army here.
Borjin's plan paid off, and the first attack, with the Ming army's high morale, failed to achieve any effect.
The breach limited the delivery of Ming troops, so that the advantages of the large number of Ming troops could not be brought into play at all. A few people at a time, at most no more than 10 people in the front and rear attacks, it is difficult to break through the defense line of Houjin Heavy Armor.
"Damn," Seeing that the second attack of the Ming army was beaten back, Li Chengxian shouted irritably: "Gunner, gunner, the fuck didn't come forward to shoot." Is it all fucking pig brains? ”
After receiving the order, the Ming army's bird gunners lit the fire rope and slowly approached the breach with a musket.
When they got closer, the bird-bearers were shocked to find that the gap that was more than one person high severely limited their vision, and they could not see the tartar inside the hole at all.
The Ming army at the breach in front was driven down again, and Li Chengxian's shouting and scolding came from afar. The bird-gunners suddenly didn't care about anything else, and raised their muskets and rushed into the breach, which was a burst of ping-pong indiscriminately. As for how effective it will be, only God knows.
Deep in the breach, Miyu heard the sound of birds ringing like firecrackers, and the smile on his face was even stronger.
Sure enough, everything is in the real calculation. If the fight continues like this, the Ming army will never want to break through the breach. Mihuri's faith became almost bursting.
"Looks like we really need some water." Mi Huli muttered to himself.
