Although the Mongol soldiers carried out cavalry raids, they were well-trained, did not stampede, kept a certain distance from each other, and the speed was basically the same, and the order was very orderly.

The archers were in front, ready to enter the place of arrows under the city, and began to fire arrows at the head of the city to cover the siege of the swordmen.

The archers were followed by a larger number of sword soldiers, who dragged dozens of ladders on their horses, and the speed was a little slower, and they fell right behind, and once the archers suppressed the Han people at the head of the city, they dismounted and turned into infantry to begin the siege.

Before today's battle, the Great Khan had already issued an order himself: do not break the city of Kadang, and swear not to withdraw the army!

In front of the Mongol soldiers, there was only one road, and the city of Kadang had to be broken.

They also understood the great khan's suffering, the camp was burned, the food was unsustainable, the war could not be dragged on for a long time, and the victory must be decided by a battle.

This victorious side, naturally, was invincible - at least the Mongols, who were invincible against the Han Chinese, who selectively forgot that they had been driven out of their homeland by Huang Taiji, and that the Jurchens lived in Liaodong and were too far away from it to come to Kadang Mountain.

What is lost in the Jurchens must be recovered from the people, the grassland people do not speak of justice, they only recognize strength, who called the Han people so weak?

If the city of Kadang is taken, the Han people and goods in the city will be evenly distributed among the living Mongol warriors, and as for the dead, since they have gone to see the Buddha, they will not need these external things, as long as someone takes care of their women and children.

Because they were pursued by Huang Taiji for thousands of miles, they lost most of their people, women, grain, livestock, forage, etc., and now they urgently need to be compensated.

The Han Chinese have always been rich in population and materials, which is the best source of replenishment, as long as the city of Kadang is taken, the Mongol warriors will get all the necessary replenishment, and the Chahar Mongols will soon return to their original level.

All the hopes of the Mongols are in the city of Kadang.

Since the Great Khan has given the order to die, the city of Kadang will definitely be broken, and the only thing that cannot be determined is who will be the first to climb the city.

On Kadang City, the gunners of the ten hundred households of Zhou Bin's department have all stood at the head of the city, the bullets are loaded, and the fingers are on the trigger, as long as they are gently pulled, the bullets will penetrate the chamber.

More than 400 cavalry of Li Guo's department, at this time, gave up their horses, stood in the northwest corner of the city wall, each of them had two glass mirrors in their hands, as long as they gave an order, they would use the mirror to reflect the sunlight to any place designated by the Grand Governor.

For this decisive battle, Li Zicheng sacrificed almost all the combat power in Kadang City.

Two armies, each with their own hearts and the same desire for victory, met at Kaddang, where the Mandate of Heaven had the advantage of the terrain, and the Mongol cavalry, although attacking upwards, had a huge numerical advantage.

Li Zicheng temporarily divided the gunners on the city into three groups, and seeing the fierce attack of the Mongol cavalry, he decisively decided to increase the range of the rifle to the maximum: starting the first wave of fire from a distance of 400 paces, in order to slow down the speed of the Mongol cavalry and consume the Mongol cavalry as much as possible.

"Bang...... Bang...... Bang......"

The Mongol archers at the front, who had just entered the range of four hundred paces, were hit by the first wave of gunners, and three or four hundred bullets barely had to be aimed, and all of them cut into the ranks of the Mongol cavalry.

"Poof...... Puff tom...... Ah......h

The Mongol soldiers who fell from their horses, some of them were only slightly wounded, and at the last moment of their lives, they could still utter the simplest monosyllabic mother tongue, and then shut their mouths - either from the gunshot wounds of the Providential Army, or from the iron hooves of their companions!

More than 100 Mongolian soldiers fell from their horses, and for 1,500 Mongolian archers, it was just a small wave, and they were overwhelmed by the tide of cavalry in an instant, but the corpses of the fallen horses and the war horses that lost their owners still affected the cavalry behind.

After the sudden blow, the formation of the Mongol cavalry was stagnant, and when they wanted to avoid the obstacle and adjust the direction of the attack, a new road rush occurred, and the horses collided, which slightly slowed down the speed of the advance.

Lin Dan Khan's cavalry, after all, was well-trained, and after a short period of turmoil, they quickly adjusted, accelerated and attacked again.

However, the second row of gunners of the Mandate of Heaven Army fired another three or four hundred bullets, and more than 100 of the bravest Mongol warriors who rushed to the front were killed and wounded.

And then there were the bullets fired by the gunners in the third row!

Up and down the city, it's all a cycle.

The gunners of the Providence Army, shooting, loading, aiming, and firing again, three rows of soldiers, just formed an uninterrupted network of firepower.

The Mongol cavalry outside the city also repeated its rhythm: charge, fall, trample, and charge again, as long as they could not break into the range of the bow and arrow, and this cycle would continue until the casualties were exhausted.

The gunners of the Mandate of Heaven, when training their rifles, generally use their war horses to pretend to be cavalry drills, and they will calculate the speed of their own shooting while calculating the speed of their horses.

However, the training ground is the training ground, and when facing the Mongol cavalry, they realized that the battlefield was far more cruel and difficult to control than the training ground, and the Mongol cavalry was gradually breaking through the distance of 400 paces and gradually approaching under the city wall.

The closer the distance, the higher the rifle accuracy, and the greater the casualties of the Mongol cavalry.

As the number of casualties mounted, "mounds" of corpses formed beneath the city, which, along with wounded horses and ownerless horses, slowed down the advance of the Mongol cavalry.

The slower the enemy's speed, the higher the rifle's target.

At a distance of 200 paces, the advance of the Mongol cavalry was finally halted, and a balance was reached: when the Mongol cavalry advanced to a distance of about 200 paces, they would be fired by rifles, and the cavalry would fall from their horses, lose their combat capabilities, or be trampled into pulp by the horses behind them.

The next moment, almost the same number of Mongol cavalry entered the distance of two hundred paces again, and another group of gunners of the Mandate of Heaven almost shot the same number of Mongol cavalry off their horses......

Tashhai, the general officer of the left wing, who personally supervised the battle, suddenly stared at him: almost all the Mongolian archers and cavalry had fallen from their horses, and it was less than a bag of mare's milk wine......

It doesn't matter whether the archers are dead or not, first they were shot, and then they were trampled by horses, and even if they could get up, they would definitely not have the ability to fight again.

Tashhai hurriedly turned the horse's head and returned to Lin Dan Khan's side, "Great Khan...... Archers...... Dead ......"

"What?" Lin Dan Khan let go of his left hand, and the horsewhip unconsciously pulled forward, landed on Tashhai's back, and bounced back, "Tashhai, you are bewitching people's hearts, 1,500 archers and cavalry, how can they be gone in a blink of an eye?" ”

Tashhai endured the whipping pain on his back, in fact, his heart hurt even more, most of these archers were his subordinates, "Great Khan, subordinates are incompetent......

Hulu Kezhaisang, the right-wing general who had been following Lin Dan Khan's side, would have come to his senses, "Great Khan, do you want to withdraw the cavalry?" The Warriors were killed and wounded too quickly......"

"Withdrawal? There will be no casualties in the next siege? Counting the original casualties, the Mongolian cavalry had lost 5,000 cavalry under the city of Kadang, Lin Dan Khan wanted to cry without tears, but he still gritted his teeth and said: "The sword cavalry has approached the city wall, let them attack it once!" ”

The sword cavalry was not his direct subordinate, so Tashhai also supported Lin Dan Khan's claim.

The Mongol sword cavalry, taking advantage of the opportunity of the Mandate of Heaven to shoot the archers, secretly crossed from the left side, and had approached the city wall, they jumped off their horses, leaned the ladder against the city wall, and began to climb towards the city.

Zhou Binbu quickly turned his guns and shot the Mongol sword cavalry besieging the city.

Li Zicheng saw that in a moment, the Mongol archers and cavalry were completely lost, and he couldn't help but increase his confidence, and hurriedly mobilized his "secret weapon", "attack, from near to far, and burn the Mongols' ladders in turn!" ”

It was just early in the morning, and the daylight wasn't enough, but the target was so close that he decided to give it a try.

Hundreds of white lights suddenly appeared at the head of the city, and the points of light were concentrated on the nearest ladder, but when the position of the points of light was adjusted, from time to time points of light fell on the bodies of the Mongol soldiers.

Seeing one or two points of light, the Mongolian soldiers just felt a little dazzling, but more points of light accidentally fell on their eyes, and the Mongolian soldiers suddenly covered their eyes with their hands and screamed and fell down from the ladder......

Lin Dan Khan also saw the white light, and just hesitated, and then remembered: Maybe this is the white light that burned the camp last time, right?

Before he could give any orders, the ladder that was locked by the white light suddenly caught fire after white smoke continued to emit white smoke!

If there was a possibility of soldiers lying last time, then this time the spontaneous combustion of white light occurred under the noses of a large number of Mongols, and Lin Dan Khan also witnessed the whole process.

He muttered to himself, almost in a state of madness: "Could it be that the Buddha really wants to punish the Mongols?" "The Mongols have long since converted to Tibetan Buddhism, and the Lord of the Buddha is the heaven of the Mongols, if the Buddha wants to punish the Mongols......

Huluke Zhaisang reacted the fastest, and shouted urgently: "Great Khan, withdraw the army, it is difficult for manpower to overcome the sky......"

"Yes, withdraw, quickly, withdraw!"

The Mongol cavalry was like a gust of wind, whether attacking or retreating, and after dropping hundreds of corpses, all the sword cavalry withdrew to the side of Lin Dan Khan, far beyond the range of their rifles.

Li Zicheng ordered the soldiers to take back the glass mirrors, and the gunners were still shooting the wounded Mongol soldiers under the city, and the sporadic gunfire continued.

Lin Dan Khan fell into deep grief, lost thousands of cavalry, not to mention, even the Buddha did not stand on his side, is it ......

"Great Khan ......"

"Great Khan ......"

The two winged commanders, Tashhai and Huluk Zhaisan, were in a hurry, but Lin Dan Khan turned a deaf ear, and for the first time he had deep doubts about the future of the Mongols!

At the west head of Kadang City, the Mandate of Heaven Army is a sea of joy, they all know that this is a decisive battle, although they failed to completely annihilate the Mongols, but the Mongols retreated, and the victory belongs to the Mandate of Heaven Army!

He Xiaomi was even more excited and shouted: "Metropolitan Governor, we have won!" Hey, there are a lot of war horses in the city! ”

"War horses?" Li Zicheng withdrew his gaze from Lin Dan Khan's body and swept down the city, and sure enough, there were thousands of war horses scattered, among these war horses, there should be many uninjured ownerless war horses, even if those who were seriously injured and died, they could also let the brothers eat fresh horse meat.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Order, use the mirror to reflect the light point, the target is Lin Dan Khan!" ”

At such a distance, it shouldn't be able to kill Lin Dan Khan, but it can scare and scare him, as long as Lin Dan Khan is scared away, these war horses under the city will belong to the Mandate of Heaven Army.

Hundreds of white lights, starting from the city, each one of them rushed towards Lin Dan Khan.

Lin Danhan, who was in a daze, was shocked, hurriedly covered his face with his hands, and lowered his head again, lest his eyes be hurt by the white light.

"Great Khan, quickly retreat, go back to the camp!" Tashhai was in a hurry.

"Withdraw!" Lin Dan Khan was helpless, said a word that was worth a thousand catties, and then hurriedly crossed the west of the Chana River surrounded by soldiers.
