Chapter 362: Bluffing

Sun Yueling turned his head to Fang Yichen and said, "Brother Fang, come with me!" He led a dozen people and ran quickly towards the dark corner where the fire at the head of the city could not be illuminated.

"Whoosh", a dozen hooks and ropes were thrown towards the city, and then they climbed up to the city.

Sun Yueling and Fang Yichen took the lead, and with the power of the long rope, they rose up, and they stood on the top of the city with a vertical fall.

An enemy patrolling nearby noticed that the situation was different, and before he could react, Fang Yichen's long sword had already grazed his throat.

"Quick, take out the other sentinels!" Sun Yueling lowered his voice and said, whether they can successfully seize the city tower depends on them.

More than a dozen people quickly dispersed and rushed towards the enemy's patrol posts.

These pro-soldiers were all selected from the Fenghua Society and were skilled in martial arts, and they quickly eliminated most of the enemy's patrol posts. Just as they rushed to the bottom of the city tower, they were finally discovered by Houjin's patrol.

"The Ming army sneak attack, the Ming army sneak attack!" Later, the golden whistle detective shouted loudly in Jurchen words.

"Tartar, yelling fart!" A personal soldier from the Fenghua Society jumped over one by one, and stabbed directly into the man's chest and abdomen.

The tartar snorted and fell.

"Kill the city gates!" At this time, it was useless to sneak around, Sun Yueling roared, pulled out the Yanling knife and went towards the city gate. At this time, countless people were climbing up from the city wall, following them, joining the group that stormed the south gate.

In Tashan Fort, the soldiers of the Blue Banner found that the Ming army was sneaking attack, and they rushed out of the barracks with swords one after another.

But at this moment, the east, north, and west directions shouted like thunder at the same time, and the sound of killing shook the sky, and the raging fire rose through the sky, instantly illuminating Tashan Fort as bright as day.

The Houjin soldiers were stunned all of a sudden, why are there Ming troops in all directions? When did the Ming army have the courage to launch an attack on the elite of Houjin?

Mang Gurtai hurriedly put on his armor and ran out of the barracks in the fort, carrying a long knife, and roared angrily: "What a panic, the Nanban is coming to send me to death, why don't you kill me quickly!" ”

After speaking, he led his soldiers to rush to the middle of the fort, but found that the four city gates were under attack at the same time, and he didn't know which direction to support for a while.

Just as he was hesitating, he saw the two brothers, Yue Tuo and Sakhalian, rushing towards the north with their people, so he raised his sword and pointed to the south, saying, "Come with me!" He took the lead and rushed in the direction of the south gate.

Downstairs in the South Gate City, Sun Yueling and Fang Yichen had already fought their way out with the people, killing the Houjin Tartars who were defending the South Gate.

"Crunch ......" The heavy wooden door was vigorously pushed open by the Ming army who had been waiting outside for a long time, only to see Sun Zushou taking the lead, leading the Ming army to rush in, shouting: "Kill!" ”

For a time, the shouts of killing were deafening, and the Ming army poured in from the south gate like a torrent of open gates.

At the same time, Mang Gurtai rushed to the south gate with the blue flag and white-armored soldiers, and saw the Ming army rushing into the fort. "Rushing towards the Ming army occupying the south gate, the first target turned out to be Sun Yueling, the commander of the Ming army.

Only then did Sun Yueling see clearly the face of Mang Gurtai, a tall and burly Jurchen man, dressed in iron armor, with a rough appearance, without a helmet, so he rushed towards him with a knife, and even saw that the money rat hair braid behind his head was raised in the air.

"Kill!" Sun Yueling shouted, took his spear from one of his own soldiers, and raised his spear towards Mang Gurtai.

Seeing this, Fang Yichen shouted "This person is handed over to me", and rushed forward with the person - they fought each other during the Battle of Guangning a few years ago, and they can be said to be each other's old enemies, and they all want to kill each other in front of the battle.

"Dang" sounded, Sun Yueling and Mang Gurtai fought hard, and their arms were sore, this guy really had some brute strength, and he deserved to be called the first warrior of Houjin.

Mang Gurtai couldn't imagine that the commander of the Ming army in front of him was so brave that he dared to fight with him without falling behind at all, and he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, this person was really powerful, no wonder the Ming army dared to compete with Dajin in the wild.

I wanted to think about it, but the long knife in his hand didn't stop at all, and slashed towards Sun Yueling one after another.

The two sides instantly fell into a bloody battle of hand-to-hand combat, and for a while, the sound of blade fighting, fighting shouts, and broken bones filled the fortress, and the soldiers on both sides fell one after another, and the blood flowed like a river.

To Sun Yueling's surprise, the Houjin white-armored soldiers exerted their amazing explosive power at this time, and hundreds of white-armored soldiers formed a formation, blocking the passage of the south gate, repelling their charges several times.

The Tartars hiding behind the white-armored soldiers covered the wings of the white-armored soldiers with spears, spears and other long weapons, and even some Tartars bent their bows and arrows and shot indiscriminately in the direction of the city gate.

The Mang Gurtai in front of him is also like a killing god, his huge body is in front of him, no matter how he acts, he can't force him back half a step, and the terrain here is narrow, he can't move and jump, even if he has exquisite martial arts, he can't use it, and he can only fight with Mang Gurtai within a range of less than a zhang.

"Dangdangdang", Mang Gurtai stabbed him three times in a row, and the knife slashed at the body of his spear, forcing him to take three steps back.

Mang Gurtai laughed and said in a clumsy Chinese dialect: "You are the Liaodong Jingluo Sun Barbarian, right?" It's not that good. As he spoke, he swung his knife at him again.

Sun Yueling is angry and doesn't fight anywhere, it's just that the terrain here is too narrow, and he can't play his exquisite marksmanship at all, if he changes to a wide terrain, he is fully confident that he will defeat this so-called Houjin No. 1 Baturu, but at this time he can only have a tie with him, and even fall a little behind.

He snorted angrily and said to Mang Gurtai: "My Ming army has exhausted its elite and has surrounded you on all sides, and tonight I will use your head of Mang Gurtai to pay tribute to my Liaodong fallen soldiers!" ”

Mang Gurtai was furious, and with a wave of his hand, several Houjin soldiers next to him rushed over together, wanting to kill him on the spot.

"Be careful, sir!" Seeing that the situation was not good, Yan Nantian immediately killed him and repelled those soldiers, and the rest of the Ming army saw that the commander was in trouble, so they rushed towards Mang Gurtai and forced him back.

The two sides instantly fell into a chaotic battle, and the soldiers were indistinguishable and stuck together.

Yan Nantian slashed over a Houjin Tartar with a knife, came to Sun Yueling's side, and shouted: "My lord, the Tartars form a formation, and this place is too narrow, I'm afraid it can't be easily taken." ”

This is the truth, Sun Yueling naturally knows, but at this point, how can they retreat, so they shouted loudly: "The brave wins when they meet on the narrow road, and the soldiers, fight bravely to kill the enemy!" Kill the enemy's cattle and record the true one, and promote the general; Those who kill the true ones of the armor will rise to the total of thousands; Kill the enemy generals and promote the capital to garrison! ”

At this point, the only way to motivate morale is to rely on this method, which is also the most direct and effective way to motivate soldiers in addition to rewarding silver. Sure enough, after he roared, the morale of the Ming army was greatly boosted, and they rushed forward one after another, defusing the wave of momentum of the white armor soldiers.

Mang Gurtai raised the knife in his hand, ready to take his generals to launch another round of charge, after all, the Ming army in the field under the city is not as good as the Dajin warriors, at this moment they have declined, as long as there is another round of impact, he is confident that the Ming army can be completely beaten out of the south gate.

Just as he was about to give an order, he heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him sounding rapidly, and a horse galloped to his side, and said to him: "Fifth brother, the barracks outside the north gate have been broken through by the Ming cavalry, Yue Tuo and they have retreated into the city, and now we are surrounded by the Ming army on all sides, I am afraid that Tashan Fort will not be able to hold it." ”

"What did you say?" Mang Gurtai rushed forward, grabbed Abatai's collar, and shouted, "When did my Dajin warrior fear the Ming army, and when did he lose to the Ming army? Tell Yueto and Sakhalian to guard the north gate for me. ”

Abatai looked anxious and said: "Fifth brother, even if the north gate can be guarded, but the east gate and the west gate will be lost sooner or later, you also know that the city wall of Tashan Fort is not strong in the first place, and now the Ming army is several times larger than our army, I am afraid that it will be difficult for us to hold on......"

Mang Gurtai was furious and shouted: "If you can't keep it, you have to guard it for me......"

In fact, he also faintly felt in his heart that this time he was only afraid that Tashan would not be able to protect, after all, the Ming army at the south gate had restrained their main force, and they could not send troops to support the rest of the gates. But Dajin's thinking of winning battles firmly occupies his mind, if he abandons Tashan and flees, where will he put the prestige of the first warrior of Houjin after Gurtai?

Huang Taiji trusted him to send him to Tashan to protect the grain, but he couldn't complete this task, how did he explain to Huang Taiji?

"Boom ......" was just in the middle of their dispute, when they suddenly heard a loud earthquake in the direction of the east gate, followed by the sound of fighting, and I didn't know what was happening.

But soon a soldier came to them to tell them that the east gate had collapsed, and that the Ming army had rushed in from the east gate, and they were about to be killed here.

"Fifth brother, if you don't leave, it's too late!" Abatai looked anxious and shouted hoarsely at Manggultai.

Mang Gurtai looked at the soldiers fighting at the south gate, slammed his long knife on the ground, and shouted: "Pass the order, the whole army will be gathered and break through from the direction of the west gate." ”

At this time, he also thought that the Ming army had sent a large group of men and horses to attack at night, because the Ming army had never dared to fight head-on with Houjin, and if they could be so brave tonight, it must be the main force of the Guanning army.

As soon as the military order was given, Mang Gurtai personally led the white-armored soldiers to break off, and let the other Zhenglan Banner warriors break through from the West Gate on horseback. Soon, the Houjin soldiers rushed out from the West Gate, and the generals of the Ming army who attacked the West Gate did not dare to stop them because of their small numbers, so they could only watch the Houjin cavalry go away.

Mang Gurtai and Abatai were the last to withdraw, and Sun Yueling and Sun Zushou wanted to stop them, but found that it was impossible to do so. Zhenglan Banner can still calmly withdraw under such a disadvantaged situation, which shows that the combat power of the Houjin army is really not to be underestimated.

It was the cavalry led by Fang Yichen and Wu Wenyao who attacked the north gate, but they wanted to see the captured Houjin auxiliaries, and just now they clashed with the remaining cavalry of Yue Tuo's red flag, so they couldn't send troops to stop the Zhenglan Banner, so they could only feign a pursuit, and then watch them flee away.
