523 My Wife Is Gone (Fourth Shift)
As soon as I got out of the house, the sound of the horn outside the city was a little loud, and there was the sound of rumbling horses' hooves, all of which showed that the movement of the Mongol Tatars attacking the city was a bit loud.
In the Naturalization City, you can see thieves jumping around, which is a bit chaotic, but basically they are still running towards the city.
Li Zicheng's side, but fortunately, as soon as he left the house, more than a hundred people gathered around him. These people were all his men, and when they heard the military order, they did not run to the city in a hurry, but came to gather at him.
Li Zicheng looked up at the banner of King Chuang on the head of the city, and then turned back and was about to speak, when he suddenly looked at Li Guo beside him and said, "If you are sick, stay in the house!" ”
"Nothing sick!" When Li Guo heard this, he couldn't help but reply a little angrily, and then nodded to the twenty or so people in front of him and said, "Follow me, don't coax anyone, the Mongols come in, we are a dead end!" ”
When Li Zicheng heard it on the side, he also wondered, what he said just now seemed to be very clear, and it didn't seem like he was crazy.
At this time, he couldn't dwell on this matter anymore, so he immediately gave an order and immediately led his men to the city where King Chuang's banner was located.
This naturalized city, is Altan Khan imitation Yuan Dadu, that is, the Ming Dynasty Jingshi built, the circumference is about two miles, wrapped with green bricks, three zhang high, the north and south gates are one each. It was built in the third year of Wanli. However, it was too small, and it was only the size of three playgrounds, so in the ninth year of Wanli, it was expanded again.
There were no cities on the steppe, so after the construction of this naturalized city, it immediately became a symbol of the Mongol kingship in the steppe. When Lin Dan Khan fled west, his first goal was to rob this naturalized city as his royal capital.
However, at this time, he was looking at this city that he originally liked very much. The flags with Chinese characters fluttering on the head of the city were particularly dazzling. The fluttering banner seemed to be silently sarcastic to him, look, you lost the king again, the golden family has descendants like you, it's really a shame to lose face!
Lin Dan Khan didn't want to look at the city anymore, but instead looked at his men who were preparing to attack. Many of his men pushed large carts, and at the front of the carts, a baffle modified with yurts was used to block the arrows on the head of the city. This is a self-built car, but the Mongolians don't know how to do it, and there are no materials, so it is shoddy, and it seems to be usable.
Although there was no siege ladder, the Mongols were good at throwing horse traps, and as long as they rushed under the city walls, they could throw ropes and climb up the battlements.
"Father Khan, with so many troops dispatched this time, he will definitely be able to fight down!" A voice sounded beside him, and there seemed to be a hint of fear in it.
When Lin Danhan heard this, he turned his head to look, and the hand holding the horsewhip seemed to be unable to help but want to pull it over. The young man was so frightened that he stared at the whip for fear of a whip.
"It's all your good deeds, and you actually lost the city to a group of ordinary people of the Ming Kingdom!" Lin Danhan scolded hatefully.
He led his troops to pursue the king of Shunyi, who had fled westward, and left his son Ezhe behind in Guihua City. Unexpectedly, Ezhe actually led people to hunt, but as a result, Guihua City had no troops and was taken by those Han people.
What made Lin Dan Khan angry was that these were nothing. But none of his wives or anything came out, they all fell into the hands of those people. How could he not know who those people in the city were, and those wives of his fell into their hands, and he didn't have to think about the end!
But let him ignore it, the main reason why he has been attacking the city for several days is not those, but the heirloom jade seal handed down by his ancestors is still in the city, this thing can't be lost, it must be obtained. However, no one else knows about this matter, but it can't be hidden for too long.
"Father Khan, they are not the common people of the Ming Kingdom, they are all fierce Ming thieves, more fierce than the officials and soldiers of the Ming Kingdom!" Ezhe defended with a sad face. If the common people of the Ming Kingdom are like this, then what kind of grass valley will they fight, it would be good not to be beaten by them!
As soon as he heard this, Lin Dan Khan's anger surged, and he raised his hand and wanted to whip him. But at this moment, the attacking army in the distance was a little closer to the city, and they all shouted and began to charge. The movement was a bit loud, drawing his attention to it.
I saw many Mongolian cavalry rushing towards the head of the city, attracting the attention of the head of the city, and at the same time shooting arrows at the head of the city, covering the foot soldiers pushing improvised carts to approach the city. And the thieves at the head of the city also began to shoot arrows downward.
All of a sudden, the city was up and down, with arrows coming and going, and it was so lively to shoot. But most of the arrows missed. Only a few unlucky men were hit by arrows, or fell off their horses, or fell off the head of the city.
When the chariot approached, the battle became even more intense.
Although the Mongols had good riding and archery skills, if they really had to ride on a fast horse to shoot the enemy at the head of the city, this was naturally more accurate than shooting at the head of the city while standing on foot. At the top of the city, rockets were fired at the carts converted from yurts, and even when they got closer, large stones began to fall down.
As a result, the casualty rate on both sides began to increase dramatically. Under the city, screams rang out from time to time.
Li Guo hid behind the battlements, peeking down, but did not let his men fight back. Even, he had time to turn his head to look at the city, and saw that many of his companions on the hill were fighting fiercely, and he couldn't help but secretly despise it in his heart. What kind of strength is it to toss around, won't you save some effort and get closer and then fight!
Thinking so, he turned his head to look at Li Zicheng again. Seeing that he had protected himself with a shield, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then turned his head, and after looking outside again, he whispered the names of a few men, and assigned them to shoot at those who came close, and those who rode horses did not pay any attention at all.
It didn't take long for the Mongol Tartars to finally attack the city. Li Guo gave an order, and he and the few people he named immediately leaned out and shot arrows at the target. Others were throwing stones down. The frequency of counterattack here, with only one effort, surpassed that of other hills. The Mongol Tatars outside the city were killed and wounded, and they immediately caught up with the other hills and overtook them. And themselves, the casualty rate is small.
In a battle like this, in the past few days, Li Guo has already figured out an effective tactic. He also mentioned it to other hills. However, although the other mountains agreed, after the fight, how to fight in the beginning, then how to fight later.
After about half an hour, the Mongol Tatars lost hundreds of corpses and then all retreated. When the thieves at the head of the city saw it, they breathed a sigh of relief, rested and rested, and saved people.
Li Guo stood up straight and looked at the Mongol camp in the distance. Then he turned his head to look at Li Zicheng and saw that he was shushing his opponents and asking for warmth.
After thinking about it for a while, Li Guo walked towards Li Zicheng.
