Early the next morning, the Mongolian sentinels, who had been monitoring around the Ming army's camp, suddenly discovered that the 150,000 Ming troops who were originally hugging together did not know when they had already divided their troops! Now there are only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the camp at best, and the rest of the nearly 100,000 troops have disappeared!

This important news spread throughout the steppe like a hurricane in the blink of an eye, shocking the hundreds of thousands of Mongolian iron horsemen gathered on the steppe!

It stands to reason that the Mongolian troops in this battle occupied an absolute advantage in troops, and it should be hoped that the Ming army would divide the troops, so that the Mongolian army's superiority in strength would be more obvious, and it would be very easy to divide and encircle the Ming army.

However, the Mongol army faced Liu Yunwei, the prince of Zhenguo who had never been defeated in the world, and his method of using troops was unexpected; Moreover, the 150,000 army under the command of Liu Yunwei, the Duke of Zhenguo, is the most elite tiger and wolf division of the Ming Dynasty, and it is completely superior to the Mongolian iron cavalry in terms of combat power.

Therefore, all the Mongolian leaders and generals, including Oba, the leader of the Mongolian alliance alliance, were terrified when they heard that the army had divided their troops under the nose of the sentry cavalry, and many people were afraid of retreating, wanting to switch from attack to defense, for fear that they would lead the army to advance and be eaten by the Ming army!

Oba never expected that the prestige of Liu Yunwei, the prince of the town, was so terrifying, just by dividing the troops, the army of all departments would have the intention of retreating, for fear that the morale of the army would be affected if it continued like this. As a result, Oba Lianlian ordered the Mongol armies to march according to the original plan, and those who violated the order were severely punished.

Under Oba's strict orders, the Mongol armies stabilized and continued to assemble towards the planned predetermined location.

At the same time as the rapid attack of the Mongolian armies, the Ming army's four-way army had also been fully deployed, and they quickly attacked according to the orders of Liu Yunwei, the prince of Zhenguo.

Gubeikou.

Gao Mingxuan, a garrison stationed in the city, was patrolling around in armor, checking the preparations of the guards everywhere.

As early as before the 150,000 soldiers of the Ming army set out on the expedition, the garrison Gao Mingxuan had already received a warning order from Liu Yunwei, the prince of Zhenguo, to strictly prevent the Mongol army from attacking.

The decisive battle between the Ming Dynasty and the Mongolian tribes was carried out more than 200 miles outside the Gubei Pass, where hundreds of thousands of troops from both sides were gathered, which was related to the rise and fall of the Ming Dynasty and the life and death of the Mongolian tribes. In this regard, the garrison Gao Mingxuan did not dare to have the slightest neglect, since receiving the order of Liu Yunwei, the prince of Zhenguo, he directly moved to live in the city, day and night to urge the two thousand Ming soldiers under his command to step up preparations to defend the city, and promised a heavy reward, the only thirteen people in the city were scattered all the night, and closely monitored the range of dozens of miles outside the Gubei Pass.

On this day, after guarding Gao Mingxuan to check on the city, he was ready to go back for lunch and take the opportunity to rest.

Suddenly, a thousand general manager next to him shouted loudly: "Look, my lord! Red Feather Urgent! ”

Garrison Gao Mingxuan was suddenly startled when he heard this, and hurriedly lay on the arrow stack and looked out, only to see four night non-collecting pegasus rushing back, led by a night non-collector soldier with two fiery red feathers stuck behind his back!

"The Mongol army is coming! At least 100,000 troops! ”

Gao Mingxuan, the garrison, gritted his teeth and said: "Pass the order, all the soldiers will go to the city to garrison and fight with the Tartars!" ”

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

Several war drums on the Gubeikou Pass City rang out, and a team of Ming soldiers quickly soaked in the city, carried a large number of city defense equipment, and found their respective defensive positions, ready to defend the city.

Gao Mingxuan, the garrison, saw that the soldiers under his command had been assembled, so he shouted loudly: "Archers and firecrackers come forward!" ”

More than 300 musketeers and archers stepped forward one after another, leaning on the stacks of arrows and preparing to shoot.

"Light the cauldron and prepare the golden juice and boiling water!"

"Hit the bar, the wolf's teeth beat the string!"

"Gunner, hurry up and load the artillery, and give Lao Tzu a little more hands and feet!"

"Hang up all the hanging households to Lao Tzu!"

The garrison Gao Mingxuan continued to roar loudly, and the soldiers under his command were also busy in all directions, and the city was in full swing.

It didn't take long for billowing smoke and dust to appear on the withered yellow grassland outside Gubeikou, and the earth began to shake at the same time.

Under the gaze of Gao Mingxuan and other soldiers guarding the city, 100,000 Mongolian iron cavalry appeared in the field of vision, stopped three miles away from Guancheng, and began to reorganize the formation and prepare to attack the city.

Half an hour later, under the nervous gaze of the defenders, the Mongol army in the distance divided into 20,000 soldiers and stepped forward, and these Mongol Tatar soldiers dismounted and fought on foot, forming a huge phalanx.

I saw that the Mongol Tartars at the front of the phalanx were armed with thick-skinned round shields, followed by 8,000 archers, and then 12,000 hand-to-hand soldiers. There are two rushing carts and more than 30 ladders in the entire phalanx, and the Mongolian army is prepared!

At this time, the garrison Gao Mingxuan's eyelids jumped, and he even thought that the Mongolian army had won the battle outside the pass, and regarded Gubeikou as the main target of the south!

"Soldiers! It's time to serve the country! Defend the city with me and kill the Tartars! ”

"Wan Sheng! Wansheng! Wansheng! ”

Although the 2,000 soldiers of the Ming army defending the city were all frightened at this time, they were still prepared to fight to the end under the leadership of Gao Mingxuan. After all, everyone knows that the Mongolian Tartars out there won't spare your life because you're afraid! Rather than being executed by the order of the Duke of Zhenguo at the touch of a button, and bearing the world's infamy, it is better to have a bloody battle with the Tartars outside the Guan, and you can also end up with a reputation of serving the country loyally and bravely!

"Woo~Woo~Woo~"

The horn of attack sounded in the 20,000 Mongol army arrays leading the way outside Guancheng, and the huge phalanx began to move towards Guancheng, and as the sound of the horn continued to increase, the entire phalanx also accelerated. In the end, a huge phalanx of 20,000 people began to charge and rushed towards Gubeikou Pass.

At this time, the garrison Gao Mingxuan's face was pale, but he still stared at the Mongolian army that was approaching quickly, and suddenly shouted: "The distance is one and a half miles!" Artillery fire! Kill these dog Tartars for Lao Tzu! ”

"Ready! Put! ”

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

Six small Franc machine guns on the Gubeikou Pass City opened fire one after another, and more than 20 gunners hurriedly loaded the artillery and opened fire, covering the Mongolian army with round after round of artillery fire.

However, the number of cannons fired by the mere six guns was too small, and it only caused a ripple in the phalanx of the 20,000-strong army, and it could not stop the advance of the 20,000-strong Mongol army at all.

"Two hundred paces away! Archers release arrows! Prepare for the firecracker! ”

The war knife in the hand of the garrison Gao Mingxuan slashed down fiercely, and he roared loudly: "Release!" ”

"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! ”

More than 200 archers fired volleys desperately at the Mongol army, but most of the arrows were blocked by the shields erected in the phalanx. After a few rounds of arrows, the archers killed only a few hundred Mongol Tatars.

At this moment, the archers of the 20,000 Mongol army outside the city began to return fire!

The power of the salvo of 8,000 archers was terrifying, and the dense rain of arrows rose into the air like dark clouds, and smashed on the city in an instant.

Seeing this, the garrison Gao Mingxuan was broken, and suddenly fell to the ground and protected his body with a shield, and then shouted loudly: "Raise the shield!" Raise your shield! ”

Round after round of arrow rain fell, and the city was suddenly full of feather arrows, and the soldiers of the Ming army defending the city were shot and killed hundreds of people in an instant! Especially those gunners, musketeers, and archers suffered the most casualties!

Gao Mingxuan, the garrison, lay on the ground and glanced at the situation on the city, only to see that there were corpses of the soldiers defending the city everywhere, and the rest of the soldiers who were still alive were gone, and it was estimated that they had fled to various corners.

"It's over! How can such a battle be fought! ”

Gao Mingxuan, who was guarding, instantly lost confidence, and a wave of despair rose in his heart!

"Smack!"

Just when the rain of arrows continued to fall, the garrison Gao Mingxuan suddenly heard a loud noise, which was the sound of the cloud ladder leaning against the city! At the same time, the desperate rain of arrows has finally stopped, which means that the Mongol army will start a siege battle!

"The Tartars are coming! Against! Against! ”

Before he had time to think about it, the garrison Gao Mingxuan roared loudly, picked up a shield and climbed up, constantly beckoning the soldiers along the way to rise up and fight.

"Hit the bar! Hit the bar! Knock the ladder down to Lao Tzu! ”

"Tom! Tong! Tong! ”

Several ladders were pushed down by the heavy rams, but the 20,000 Mongol army followed the rest of the dozens of ladders.

"Wolf tooth slap!"

"Whew! Call! Call! ”

Several wolf tooth slappers swung out, sweeping down hundreds of Mongolian Tartar soldiers, and then these wolf tooth slappers were destroyed by the Mongolian Tatar soldiers who rushed up.

"Kill!"

The garrison Gao Mingxuan gritted his teeth and led the surviving Ming soldiers to meet him, and he was killed with the Mongolian Tatar soldiers who killed the head of the city.

In this battle, the soldiers of the Ming army who held the Gubeikou were already weak, and their combat power was not outstanding, and it was already very good to be able to defend the city in the face of the onslaught of 100,000 Mongolian troops. What's more, the soldiers of the Ming army were also suppressed by the rain of arrows of the Mongolian army for a while, causing huge casualties, at this time the two sides started hand-to-hand combat, and the soldiers of the Ming army were instantly at a disadvantage, and more and more Mongolian Tatar soldiers climbed the city.

The loss of Gubeikou Pass is imminent!

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

Just when the garrison Gao Mingxuan was full of despair, a deafening Han war drum suddenly came from outside the Guancheng, and then a Ming battle flag appeared in the wilderness outside the Guancheng!

"Reinforcements are coming! Brothers, hold on! Zhen Guogong led a large army to kill! ”

The garrison Gao Mingxuan roared loudly, frantically leading the guards to run around the city, and the joy of dying in a desperate place made Gao Mingxuan look like crazy.

And the more than 1,000 surviving Ming soldiers in the city were also greatly boosted, and the front that had retreated again and again was stabilized in an instant. The soldiers of the Ming army even launched counterattacks again and again against the Mongolian Tatar soldiers who had already ascended to the top of the city, and fought heroically.
