Chapter 664: Losing Troops and Losing Soldiers

When the Mongol soldiers of Horqin under the city, under the reprimand and coercion of Oba Khan, once again mustered up the courage to climb up the ladders, the musketeers on the Bauhinia Pass once again fired a thump-thump-thump, knocking down the Korqin people who rushed to the head of the city again.

Among the Korqin people who fell this time was the Oba Khan, who was dressed in heavy armor and galloped around the city with a group of guards.

At the same time, there was also the Aduqidar Khantaiji, who was closely following Oba Khan and had been directing and dispatching the Korqin archers to throw a rain of arrows above the city to suppress the fire of the Ming army.

Oba Khan was shot several times and fell to the ground, which immediately became the fuse for the collapse of the Mongol army.

The Brain Wing Korqin people, who had never experienced such a war, were already terrified when they saw the Han refugees they drove forward being shattered by artillery and killed by muskets.

If it weren't for the fact that Oba Khan, who was well-known among the Korqin people, personally put on armor and forcibly boosted some morale, these archers from both sides of the Naowen River would not have fought such a battle for the city despite heavy casualties.

At this time, after a burst of gunfire and gunsmoke, the Brain Wen Korqin people, who were lucky not to die, saw that he was shot and fell to the ground in his sweat, and the breath that he had been holding on to in his heart was suddenly discharged.

Immediately afterwards, the shouts of "Oba is dead" and "Oba is dead" sounded on the hillside under the Bauhinia Pass!

Then, those Korqin people, who were far away from the city wall and were already testing whether to move forward, turned around and ran.

Some even turned over and rode on the war horses that were still able to stand beside them, and ran in the direction of Wulonggou.

At this time, the battle outside the main gate of Bauhinia Pass temporarily ended with most of the Brain Wen Korqin people killed in battle, and a small number of them turned around and fled.

However, at the same time, the battle for the water gate section of the city wall in Lihuajian has also reached the most dangerous moment.

Wang Fu, who had been paying close attention to that section of the city wall, saw that the battle outside the Bauhinia Pass had come to an end, so he did not send people out of the city to pursue and continue to expand the results, but left the supervising army Yushi Fangkong with other horses to continue to hold the main gate of Bauhinia Pass, and personally led the two battalions of the Chinese army He Zan and Hou Gongji in the second town of the Guards Army, and followed the team of soldiers sent by Chen Hongfan to ask for help, and rushed to the direction of the water gate.

At this time, the battle above the water gate was no longer a confrontation of bows and arrows and arquebuses.

Weng Adai, one of the real people of the Blue Banner, took advantage of the chaos when Chen Hongfan's Baoding soldiers were hiding from the rain of arrows and arrows, and followed the ladder brought by the army, and was the first to climb the city.

Holding a huge shield, wearing heavy armor, and carrying a bow and arrows, Weng Adai was like a fierce tiger rushing into a flock of sheep since he reached the top of the city, wielding a long-handled saber and slashing a large number of Baoding soldiers gathered above the city.

And with Weng Adai's abandonment of horses and foot battles, when he landed in the city first, Deng Shiku, the fierce general of the Jianyu Zhenglan Banner, also quickly led a team of Jianyu hoplites to the top of the city.

If it weren't for the inconvenience of the cavalry of the Blue Banner to carry more ladders during the gallop, then the water gate of the Juma River at this time would probably have fallen into the hands of Jianyu.

Chen Hongfan, the terrified Baoding commander-in-chief, was in a dilemma for a while under the protection of hundreds of his cronies.

Desperately, he didn't dare.

Although he was also a frontier soldier, he has been pampered for many years now, and he is not afraid of the fierceness of the arrow, which is also the only one he has seen in his life, he knows how many catties and taels he has, and he does not dare to step forward at all.

To run away, he did not dare even more.

Once he flees without a fight, even if the emperor doesn't know and doesn't want his life, Wang Fu, the commander of the second town of the Guards, will definitely take his life.

Wang Fu's contempt for him made him unhappy, but Wang Fu's ruthlessness towards his own people made him afraid.

In the end, he was just afraid of death.

Therefore, Chen Hongfan could only support himself and wait for the arrival of Wang Fu's reinforcements.

However, the more afraid you are of death, the more you tend to die first.

Chen Hongfan, who was afraid of death, did not dare to fight hand-to-hand in front of him, but only dared to stand in the crowd of people on the periphery under the protection of many personal guards, waving the sword in his hand and shouting: "Resist!" Resist! Can't go back! Whoever the fuck retreats, Lao Tzu killed whom! ”

But in the chaos at the head of the city, Chen Hongfan's loud shouts and dispatch commands soon attracted the attention of the hundreds of Jianyu who had already ascended to the top of the city.

Soon, the heavy arrows of the bow and bow broke through the air with a whizz.

This heavy arrow went straight to Chen Hongfan's front door, and at the moment before it hit Chen Hongfan, it was blocked by a personal soldier in front of Chen Hongfan.

However, the frightened Chen Hongfan had just breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly saw another heavy arrow shooting towards him!

Chen Hongfan instinctively made a move to turn around and escape, but he was tall and fat, wearing heavy armor, and his movements were not as agile as usual when he was in civilian clothes, and he was finally unable to dodge this galloping heavy arrow.

Chen Hongfan's front and back left, left, right and right feet surrounded several layers of pro-soldiers, when he heard the scream of his chief military officer, "Ahh

The screams were full of horror, sorrow and unwillingness, but they stopped abruptly.

The relatives and soldiers in a big chaos looked down at their own chief military officer, but they saw Chen Hongfan covering his neck with his hands and the blood gushing from his neck, falling on a step of the city wall and convulsing.

Chen Hongfan's arrow fell to the ground, but it aroused the ferocity of his cronies.

shouted one by one, "Da Shuai let people shoot, avenge Da Shuai", while mustering up the courage to rush towards the dozen or so Jian Lu armed with bows and arrows, and for a time suppressed the momentum of Jian Lu's landing in the city.

The city wall on the Bauhinia Ridge is built according to the situation of the mountain, it is also narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, slightly inclined shape, nine steps wide at the bottom, seven steps wide at the top, and can accommodate four horses in parallel.

However, at this time, the city wall of the Water Gate was full of officials and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

Although Chen Hongfan had a straw bag and a large number of materials in his hand to defend the city, he did not know how to use it flexibly, but he did not abandon the city and flee after all.

A large number of Baoding soldiers under his command did not dare to escape, and thousands of people crowded at the head of such a city, even if they queued up to cut off the heads of the Jianzhu who landed in the city, it also took a lot of time.

In this way, although the Baoding soldiers at the water gate suffered heavy casualties, they finally relied on the absolute superiority in numbers to surround the Jianyu who climbed to the head of the city on the city wall, and insisted until Ma Dengyun led the army to arrive.

At this time, Ma Dengyun had already learned the news from Jiang Pin's mouth that Datong's right guard was captured by Jianyu.

Although he still doesn't know the life and death of the hundreds of people in the Ma family, he knows very well that the Ma family in Datong is bound to be more auspicious.

And he also knew that the main force of Jianyu, which was the main attack on Shuoping City, where the right guard of Datong was located, was the Zhenglan Banner that came to attack Bauhinia Pass in front of him.

As the so-called enemies meet, they are very red-eyed.

As soon as Ma Dengyun landed at the head of the city at the water gate of Bauhinia Pass, he immediately rushed into the battle group without hesitation, holding the long-handled Qi knife with both hands, slashing left and right, like a mad tiger.

The reserve brought by Ma Dengyun this time was the cavalry team of the newly formed second town of the Guards.

Because it was not a field battle out of the city, nor was it a pursuit battle, the cavalry was used as a reserve by Wang Fu when defending the city.

However, it is fortunate that such a cavalry is left as a reserve, otherwise, the other infantry teams may not be able to arrive here in time.

However, the cavalry battalion of the new Second Guard, like the First Town, was armed only with plate armor, spears, knives, bows and arrows, and helmets, and was not equipped with new firearms.

This meant that they could only fight hard against the Jianyu hoplites, who were good at hand-to-hand combat.

Fortunately, in addition to Ma Dengyun, the deputy commander of the second town, who led them here, he was a fierce general who was not afraid of hand-to-hand combat, and Sun Zushou, a commander who came with him, and the three battalion officers You Yangkun, Cao Dingjiao, and Chen Youjian, were also tough guys who were not afraid of death who had fought with Jianyu.

As the four of them led the army to join the battle group, the wall of the Water Gate section in the direction of Bauhinia Ridge gradually turned from danger to safety.

And Weng Adai, one of the first Jianlu Zheng Blue Banner Meler Ezhen, was finally exhausted, and after a few rounds of hard fighting with Ma Dengyun, he was cut off by Ma Dengyun with a knife and fell off the city with a scream.

And Deng Shiku, another brave and unusually brave leader of the Jianlu, was also in the melee at the head of the city, and was killed by Sun Zushou, who was born as a martial artist.
