For Luo Xin, after thinking about it, there is only one way, that is, after withstanding the siege of the grassland coalition army, attack the camp at night today, attack the grassland camp, and not give the grassland coalition army the time and opportunity to bypass the capital tomorrow and go deep into the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty.
While this decision is a risky one, it also has a great opportunity.
Because today's bloody battle will exhaust the strength of both sides, Luo Xin believes that after a while, if the siege vehicle completely collapses the barbed wire fence at the head of the city, Huang Taiji will not send only those 7,000 men to attack the city, I am afraid that he will make a desperate bet and throw all his troops in. As long as the Ming soldiers can withstand the crazy attack of the grassland coalition army and hold out until sunset, the physical strength and morale of the grassland coalition army will definitely drop significantly.
But......
Luo Xin's side is different!
Don't forget that there is still an army hidden on Luo Xin's side, that is, the Shenshu battalion of 8,000 cavalry. No matter how tragic the battle team was, Luo Xin did not have the slightest intention of letting the Shenshu battalion defend the city, because he knew that these 8,000 cavalry were his only chance to defeat Huang Taiji in the end.
This is a fresh army that has rested for more than ten days, while Huang Taiji's side is a tired army that has exhausted its physical strength and morale.
Not to mention......
Luo Xin has not yet prepared 5,000 thunderbolts for the Shenshu camp.
With thunderbolts, Luo Xin dared to take 2,000 people to kick the 200,000 company camp of Alatan Khan, and now there are 8,000 cavalry in the Shenshu camp, and after this battle, I'm afraid that Huang Taiji's steppe coalition army is less than 100,000, right?
So this plan also has a good chance of success.
It's just that once it fails, it must be alone with 8,000 people, because it is impossible to open the gate of the capital at that time, and maybe these 8,000 cavalry will be wiped out.
"Boom ......"
A boulder rose into the air, this time slamming into the barbed wire, and the siege vehicle finally threw the boulder on the barbed wire after several height corrections. In this round of attacks alone, a large area of barbed wire was destroyed. The expressions of all the generals were tense.
"Kill!" The steppe coalition forces on the opposite side let out a neat and frantic shout.
"Boom ......"
Just after the siege vehicle outside the city threw the boulder into the barbed wire, a siege vehicle outside the city was blown down by the catapult inside the city. The Ming soldiers in the city couldn't help but cheer.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
The siege engines outside the city kept smashing boulders into the barbed wire fence at the head of the city, and the barbed wire was blasted out and holed, and then completely torn apart.
The catapult soldiers in the city also became anxious, constantly correcting the direction and height, and constantly bombarded the siege vehicles.
Finally, the last siege vehicle outside the city was blown down. However, the barbed wire fence above the city of Beicheng was also completely destroyed.
Outside the city.
Huang Taiji drew his scimitar, raised it towards the sky, and then pointed in the direction of the capital.
"Kill ......"
"Kill ......"
The Prairie coalition rushed towards the walls. There were still 10,000 cavalry roaming under the city walls, constantly firing arrows at the city. The steppe coalition army that had just retreated was red-eyed and ran frantically towards the city wall. The 20,000 grassland coalition troops who had been standing behind Huang Taiji also rushed towards the city wall. This time, Huang Taiji was desperate, and more than 27,000 soldiers launched a frantic attack on the city.
"Catapults, throw oil cans!"
"Ballista, suppress the arrow tower!"
"The five military camps, the Shenji battalion, go to the city to face the battle."
"Auxiliaries, continue to extinguish the fire!"
Luo Xin shouted hoarsely, and the catapult immediately began to fill the dump with canisters of fire oil, and the ballista soldiers continued to oppress the arrow tower. It's just that the launch speed of the crossbow arrow is too slow, and the pressure on the arrow tower is limited, but fortunately, there are not many people standing on the arrow tower, which makes the crossbow arrow have a certain suppression of the arrow tower.
The soldiers of the Fifth Army Battalion and the Shenji Battalion, under the protection of the shield bearers, quickly came to the head of the city and stood in position.
Archers in position!
Musketeers in place!
Soldiers throwing rolling stones are in place.
A pair of eyes looked towards the grassland coalition army below the city......
"Bang ......"
A series of hammer beatings, countless canisters rose into the air, crossed the sky, countless canisters collided in the air and shattered, the canister fell from the sky, as if it was raining, more canisters fell on the shield raised by the steppe coalition army, or fell to the ground, the crockpot shattered, and the canister flowed out.
Without Huang Taiji's order, all the grassland coalition forces turned around and ran. It's faster than when you came. In the same way, the Daming archers above the city did not need Luo Xin to issue orders, and one rocket after another thought about the **** under the city.
"Boom ......"
A sea of fire formed under the city, and the grassland coalition army let out a terrible and desperate scream, and the grassland coalition army, which was drenched with fire oil, had almost turned into a burning man at this time, rolling all over the ground, and the air began to fill the air with the smell of barbecue.
Luo Xin above the city breathed a sigh of relief, with this round of fire oil cans, he could burn some grassland coalition troops at the same time, delay some time, as long as it was dusk, Huang Taiji would retreat.
"And all the oil cans?" Luo Xin turned his head and asked.
Immediately, the quartermaster replied, "You can still throw two rounds." ”
Luo Xin's brows furrowed slightly, he could only throw two rounds or he couldn't delay until dusk, and calculated slightly, if the two rounds of oil cans were thrown, it would probably be less than half an hour away from dusk, and this half an hour would become the final decisive battle, a decisive battle between you and me.
When the fire outside the city began to subside, before it was completely extinguished, the grassland coalition army rushed towards the city wall again under the order of Huang Taiji. The grassland coalition army seems to have lost its sharpness, and no longer makes a sound of shouting and killing, but just runs forward with a stuffy head, and the Ming generals above the city are also silently looking at the grassland coalition army under the city, and there is silence in the city and the city, and the atmosphere is very depressing. At this time, the catapult had already loaded the oil canister and was waiting for Luo Xin's order.
When the grassland coalition army entered the firing range, Luo Xin shouted:
"Put!"
Luo Xin's voice resounded inside and outside the city above the city, and the figures of those grassland coalition troops suddenly froze, stopped and looked up at the city wall, and heard the sound of "bang bang bang" in their ears, and then saw countless fire oil canisters rising from the city, crossing the sky, and falling towards the grassland coalition army.
The steppe coalition forces immediately turned around and ran back, but there were still grassland coalition forces lost in the sea of fire, letting out a terrible and desperate scream.
The fire caused by the second round of oil canisters began to extinguish, and the steppe coalition army, under the orders of Huang Taiji, once again ran towards the city wall. He still ran in silence, and there was no sound except footsteps. Until there was a broken shout from Luo Xin above the city:
"Put!"
