Volume 16 Chapter 50 The Ming Army Sends Strength (Five Watches, Thanks to T34/85 for the Great Reward)

Gushi Khan didn't know that Sun Chuanting, the chief general of the Ming army, had led an army of 210,000 to surround him, because this was the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and it was impossible for him to send the scout cavalry hundreds or even thousands of miles away, so he basically didn't know anything about what happened in Jiayuguan.

Three days have passed since the siege, and the casualties of the Tile Spur infantry are very heavy.

On the first day, because he was carried away by anger, he commanded his foot soldiers to attack the city frantically, and as a result, he paid the price of nearly 40,000 dead and countless wounded;

The next day, he still did not wake up from his anger, and another frenzied siege of the city, as a result, nearly 40,000 foot soldiers were killed;

On the third day, he came to his senses, but he had to continue to attack, because if he went back like this, he would not be able to live that day, but he had almost collected all the food stored in the Tile Spur Department, and if he didn't grab something to go back, he would really starve to death!

If Hamiwei can be captured, the hundreds of artillery pieces used by the Ming army to defend the city alone can earn at least a few million taels when they are transported back and sold to Tsarist Russia.

If a few million taels are used to buy food, it will be enough for everyone in the Tile Spur Department to eat for a year, and in order to survive, he has to fight.

Fortunately, not only are there dead people on his side, but there are also dead people on the Ming army's side, and after three days of onslaught, the Ming army has obviously been powerless.

Moreover, there don't seem to be many of the kind of ghosts they bury in the ground to blow up people, and the sparse ones are not at all as dense as the first two days, and on the third day, the casualties of the tile spur foot soldiers dropped significantly, and the casualties were less than 20,000.

After three days of attack, Gushi Khan has estimated that the Ming army in the city is at most 50,000, and now there are less than 20,000 people who can move.

His analysis was not wrong at all, the Ming army in the city was 50,000, and more than 20,000 had been killed and thousands seriously wounded, and now there were less than 20,000 people who could move.

However, he could not have imagined that he would no longer have the opportunity to organize three rounds of attacks, or even two rounds.

According to Sun Chuanting's plan, the Ming army was supposed to come to steal the camp on the third night, but it could only defeat the Tile Spur army, but it was difficult to annihilate the Tile Spur army.

The reason why it was set at night was because Sun Chuanting's troops were not enough at that time, and the total number of infantry and cavalry he could mobilize at that time was only 110,000, and if he fought head-on with the exhausted Tile Thorn army, he could defeat him.

However, don't forget, there are still 100,000 Kazakh cavalry behind the Watt Spur army, and if they suddenly rush up, then the Ming army will be finished!

Now it was different, the army he led was 210,000, and even if the Varspur army and the Kazakh cavalry were together, he was sure that he would overthrow them in one fell swoop, so he changed the time of the general attack to the morning of the fourth day.

Early in the morning of the fourth day, at midnight, the army of the Tile Thorns gathered on time outside the Acropolis of Hami, but by this time their number had been reduced by nearly half, and now there were less than 90,000 foot soldiers who were not seriously wounded and could still participate in the siege.

Gu Shihan coldly stared at the Ming general on the city wall who was covered with strips of cloth, but still standing upright, he already knew that it was Hou Gongji, the general of the Hami guard, a young general who was less than thirty years old, but he lost almost fifteen people before and after!

Hou Gongji was also looking at Gu Shihan with a telescope, he was indeed tired, for three days in a row, fighting for several hours every day, he didn't know how many wounds he had on his body, anyway, it was cracked and wrapped, and cracked again, old wounds and new wounds, and the layers were too many to count.

However, fortunately, he did not hurt the vital point, but he lost too much blood and felt a little weak.

It's over, it's finally over, and when he saw Gushi Khan provocatively raise his right hand and slowly wave it down, he couldn't help but show a relieved smile.

Of course, Gu Shi Khan didn't know what he was laughing at, and it was estimated that this thing knew that he was going to die, and his nerves were abnormal!

By the time he waved his hand down, the 10,000 foot soldiers had already roared towards the city wall, and by this time the mines had become noticeably sparse, and even the roar of artillery was not so dense.

Gushi Khan also showed a rare smile, the Ming army is finally gone, and it will definitely be able to take Hamiwei today.

However, as soon as his smile unfolded, the sound of thunderous horses' hooves sounded from the left and right, and the intensity was definitely no less than 100,000.

Could it be that the kid from Asyd figured it out and wanted to help him attack the city, or did that kid know that the Ming army in the city couldn't hold on and wanted to pick up the bargain?

However, this time he thought wrongly, and not long after he remembered the sound of hooves, several scouts came galloping, and they roared while beating their horses and galloping: "The Great Khan is not good, there are many Ming cavalry ten miles away from our left (right) rear!" ”

Gu Shi Khan's face changed with a brush, and then, there was also a shouting sound from the left and right fronts, so loud, there were at least 100,000 people!

It turned out to be the Ming army! He hurriedly ordered: "Quick, Mingjin collects the troops, let them all come here to gather!" “

For a while, there was a great chaos in the Tile Spur army, and it was Mingjin who collected his troops and gathered to the west, which was simply a pot of porridge.

More than ten miles away, it was less than a quarter of an hour to beat the horses and gallop, and before the Tile Spur army had gathered a defensive formation, Cao Bianjiao and Zu Dabi had already led the cavalry to rush up.

These two people are a number of fierce generals in the Ming army, to compare strategy, they may not be ranked, to be brave, they can definitely rank in the top five, that brave, they didn't even let the cavalry finish a set of bullets, just hurriedly threw a wave grenade and led the army into the tile spur army!

The Tile Thorns also had cavalry, and their foot soldiers could also be used as cavalry if they rode on horses, and they had 100,000 horses, because the seriously wounded cavalry had joined the infantry with their horses, and then followed the infantry back while recuperating from their wounds, so they had no less horses at all.

However, they were scattered into four pieces, and they didn't have time to assemble together in a hurry, and they were even more scattered when Cao Bianjiao and Zu Dabi led the army.

Cao Bianjiao and Zu Dabi are the two killing gods, there is no one of them in the tile spur army, the two of them kill a huan, rush there and there to fry the pot, and the tile spur army that is killed is about to collapse.

Soon, the infantry of the Ming army also rushed up, and another member of the fierce general Ma Xianglin entered the tile spur army, and the tile spur soldiers were even more difficult to resist.

Seeing this scene, Gushi Khan shouted in panic: "Withdraw with me and rush out!" “

After shouting, he took the lead in rushing west with thousands of elite horsemen.

When Sun Chuanting rushed up, Gushi Khan had already led tens of thousands of cavalry to break out of the encirclement and rushed westward, and the three fierce generals Cao Bianjiao, Zu Dabi and Ma Xianglin rushed to him one after another and asked for his life: "Vice Marshal Sun, let me lead the army to chase it!" “

Sun Chuanting glanced at them and ordered: "The three of you go together, bring all the cavalry, don't chase too far, forget if you can't catch up after an hour, and beware of the Kazakh cavalry." “

When the three of them heard this, they responded excitedly, and then gathered the cavalry and chased westward.

Sun Chuanting looked at their distant backs, and shook his head helplessly, these three guys are fierce enough, but they are too young and a little breathless.

He wasn't very worried about the safety of the three of them, just relying on the three of them, he launched a madness, and thousands of troops couldn't stop it, if the Kazakh cavalry dared to fight against them, they would definitely be killed by them!
