After listening to Chen Cheng's words, Gao Tang said: "Okay, I'll see how long the fire of the Tartar slave can burn." Let the soldiers destroy with soil first. ”

Chen Cheng immediately ordered a bunch of people to shovel the soil to extinguish it. As a result, he didn't throw much dirt into the fire before he was killed by an arrow fired from the opposite side of the fire wall.

"Get on the Musketeers." Gao Tang said sharply, he will never compromise.

Chen Cheng sent a pair of musketeers to shoot at the wall of fire. I heard a few screams. The soldiers then threw earth at the roots of the wall of fire, causing the wall to lose momentum.

The walls of fire were still sending arrows and arrows to the outside, but the soldiers had learned to throw dirt not in the middle of the gate, but on the side of the gate, so that the bows and arrows inside would be shot empty.

In less than an hour, the water came.

Gao Tang immediately ordered and said, "The artillery is approaching and blasting inside the city gate." The musketeers shoot from their stomachs, covering the water trucks to extinguish the fire. ”

The soldiers immediately went into action. Three cannons approached the gates, lowered their muzzles and fired shells inside. And in front of the cannon lay a squad of musketeers shooting inside the gate. So that there will be no more bows and arrows to shoot outwards. The watermill arrived at the gate of the city.

The artillery and muskets stopped firing for a moment, and as soon as they stopped, the bows and arrows inside were fired again. It turned out that there was a commander above the city gate.

Gao Tang said: "Quickly kill the person in command." ”

Two muskets were immediately aimed at the men at the gates. But at this moment, a row of sword slaves suddenly appeared on the city gate.

Gao Tang didn't look good, and quickly said, "Quickly block the shield." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the arrow crossbow shot down impenetrable. Fortunately, Gao Tang saw it in time and gave the order in time, and the losses were not large, only a dozen soldiers died.

"The musketeers fired back at me." Gao Tang continued to give orders.

The musketeers immediately aimed at the gate tower in the gap in the shield. A flurry of gunfire followed. Then I saw that some of the Tarnu soldiers on the tower of the city gate had turned over and fallen, and some had fallen into the wall of fire, which had even added fuel to the fire.

After a painful shot, the crossbowmen on the gate tower retreated. If they continue to attack, the casualties will be heavy. This bow and arrow cannot be compared with a musket. The first is that the rate of fire is slow, and the second is that it cannot be hidden and shot like a musketeer. The disadvantages are significant. Retreat was their only option.

The artillery in front of the city gate continued to bombard for a while, and Gao Tang ordered the waterwheel to pour water.

This time, unhindered, a cartload of water landed on the wall of fire. The wall of fire was extinguished immediately. and the gates of the city were empty. Not a single Tatar army in sight.

Gao Tang was overjoyed when he saw it, and immediately ordered: "Rush into the city for me." ”

The soldiers received the order and immediately poured into the city gates. After entering the city, I found that it was an empty city. I can't help but that the Tatar army is gone, and even the people can't see one.

Chen Cheng asked, "Is this the situation?" Did the Tatars kill all the people? ”

Gao Tang shook his head and said, "No, there will be a corpse if you kill it." ”

"What about the man?" Chen Cheng then asked.

Gao Tang said: "I'm afraid I was taken away by the Tarnu army by the way. ”

"Thousands of people taken captive? What are they going to do? Chen Cheng asked.

"Most likely, it was used to blackmail us when we retreated." Gao Tang guessed.

Chen Cheng gritted his teeth and said, "These Tatar slaves are really thieves!" ”

Gao Tang said: "This is a common trick of the Tatars. They will kill one person and one by one until you give up. ”

"So what are we going to do?" Chen Cheng asked.

Gao Tang said: "Let's see if there are any survivors in the city first, and ask what is going on." Then shoot 30,000 people to pursue. 10,000 people defended the city, the remaining 10,000 went to Pingdu, and the other 10,000 went to Heihuling. ”

Chen Cheng said: "Okay, I'll arrange it." ”

"Go, why are you sitting in this Pingliangzhou City this time. I'll wait for you in the state yali. Gao Tang said.

"Okay General Gao." After speaking, Chen Cheng rode away.

Gao Tang led more than a dozen horsemen back to the state office, and there were still some Tatar supplies in it, and Gao Tang asked the soldiers to throw them away. He sat in the lobby and asked people to go and look around. Including the mountain road to the north of Black Tiger Ridge and Black Tiger Ridge, these two places are the focus. , and then there's the land of Pingdu to the north.

The assigned people went, and Gao Tang took a sip of tea.

At this time, the soldiers brought the survivors they found to meet Gao Tang.

Gao Tang asked, "What happened in the city, and where did all those people go?" ”

The people who came were two middle-aged men, who looked frightened and replied tremblingly: "They have all been captured by the Tatar army." ”

"Where did you go?" Gao Tang asked.

"From the east gate." The man said.

After hearing this, he nodded and said, "Okay, you guys go down." ”

"Please, General, save us ordinary people!" Another cried.

"Okay, don't worry, General Ben will definitely save them." Gao Tang said.

The two immediately knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Thank you, General." ”

"Alright, let's go!" Gao Tang waved his hand and said.

The two walked out of the lobby under the leadership of the soldiers. Then another small soldier came to report, and it seemed that he was in a hurry. Gao Tang knew that there was urgent information when he saw it.

"No need to worship, say it quickly." Gao Tanghuo stood up and pointed at you and said to the soldier.

"General, the Tatar army has attacked Black Tiger Ridge." The soldier stopped.

"How many more will attack?" Gao Tang asked.

"About 100,000 people." The soldier said.

"How's the battle going?" Gao Tang asked.

"The Tatar army has not yet attacked, but the situation is a bit critical, after all, there are only 30,000 people guarding it." The soldier said.

"Okay, General Ben will transfer troops, and you will go to investigate." Gao Tang said.

"It's the general." The soldier turned and went.

Gao Tang ordered 20,000 people in Gyeongju to go to support first, and then let 20,000 people in the central part to support, so that there were 70,000 people. Enough to withstand the Tarnu attack.

At this time, Chen Cheng came back.

"There's a fight over there in Black Tiger Ridge." Chen Cheng said.

"I know, and I've sent someone to help." Gao Tang said.

Chen Cheng said: "That's good. ”

Gao Tang said: "I don't know what happened to Pingdu yet." ”

Chen Cheng said: "It is estimated that the Tatar army does not have so many troops to attack now. ”

"Is there any news of the Tatar army who fled from the city?" Gao Tang asked.

"Not yet. However, they can't escape from the border of Pingliang Prefecture. Chen Cheng said.

As he was talking, a spy came to report and said, "General Qiyu, the Tatar army in the city has fled to the mountain road north of Heihuling and engaged our army. ”

"What's going on?" Gao Tang asked.

The spy replied: "Our army is small in number, and there are still people who are blackmailing, and we have fallen behind. ”

After hearing this, Gao Tang immediately said to Chen Cheng: "Brother Chen, you will personally lead the army in the city to support now. There must be pressure to save the people. ”
