Mang Gurtai has been wielding his sword and shouting under the city to direct the siege, and the bannermen of the Jianyu Zhenglan Banner have indeed burst out with a fierce nature.

No matter how dense the rain of arrows shot from the city was, and how the rolling wood and stones were endless, they just clung to this section of the city at the water gate and refused to stop.

Mang Gurtai, who originally thought that he had won the victory, saw from a distance under the city that with the arrival of reinforcements, the situation in the city was tilting towards his unfavorable side.

The anger in Mang Gurtai's heart rose up, and he soon shouted at Tunbulu, one of the Zhenglan Banner Gushan Ezhen who was supervising the battle nearby: "Tunbulu! You personally bring people up, and if you can't take this water gate today, don't come back to see me!" ”

Tunbulu turned over and dismounted, shouted "zha", then got up, took his bow and arrows from his horse, and rushed towards the wall at the water gate with a group of men and horses behind him.

The rain of arrows at the head of the city was set on the body of Tunbulu, who was wearing heavy armor, and he seemed to be completely unconscious, while opening his bow and shooting arrows to shoot back, and at the same time there was no intention of pausing, and soon came to the water gate, and picked up a prisoner on a ladder, holding a bow in one hand, an escalator in the other, and an arrow in his mouth, and quickly climbed up.

In this way, when the captives at the head of the city were about to be killed by a large number of Ming troops relying on the advantage of numbers, Tun Bulu took a team of men and horses to the top of the city again, and shot to death the Ming army rushing towards him not far away with several arrows.

Seeing this, Mang Gurtai breathed a sigh of relief, and then immediately ordered loudly: "Siege!" I press it all up! Take this water gate for me! ”

Mang Gurtai's madness has an effect.

The cavalry of Jianlu, who originally threw a large amount of arrows in the back to suppress the firepower of the city head for the siege team in front, all dismounted to attack the city, so that the number of Jianlu on the city head quickly increased several times.

There were few Baoding soldiers left under Chen Hongfan at the head of the city, and the more than 3,000 reinforcements brought by Ma Dengyun also lost the sharpness of the newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers after several rounds of fighting with the Jianyu infantry and gradually increasing the casualties.

However, Mang Gurtai, who was fully focused on capturing the head of the city here, did not notice that the gunfire at the head of the main gate of the Bauhinia Pass land route several miles away had stopped for a while.

Just as he was once again galloping under the city, shouting "siege" and "siege", Wang Fu, the commander of the second town of the Guards, was carrying two battalions of musketeers, maintaining a formation all the way, running towards the head of the city at the water gate.

Ma Dengyun, who was being beaten back step by step by the elite of the Zhenglan Banner led by Tunbulu, was the first to see the reinforcements running in the midst of the anxious looking around, so he immediately shouted loudly: "The control is here!" Our reinforcements are coming! We've won! We've won! ”

Ma Dengyun's shout made his morale suddenly rise a lot.

And the reinforcements of the two musket battalions brought by Wang Fu also immediately responded with a shout!

As the reinforcements approached, Mang Gurtai, who rode a horse and galloped in the distance under the city, and Tunbulu, one of the Zhenglan Banner Gushan Ezhen who had already captured the city, were aware of the danger.

However, both of them saw that the reinforcements that came were only about 2,000 people, and as long as their side was brave enough, they could carry it, so no one gave the order to retreat.

Moreover, Tunbulu, who was above the city, saw the reinforcements of the Ming army coming, and immediately shouted at Aibali, one of the true members of the blue banner Melle not far from him: "Aibali! You go! Stop them! Stop them! ”

The Jianyu army, which was pouring into the city, was suddenly divided into two groups, one group of more than 1,000 people rushed in the direction where Wang Fu and the others were running, while the other group of more than 1,000 people continued to rush towards Ma Dengyun, who was already on the verge of danger.

If it is left in the past, the siege war is fought like this, and the overall situation is basically decided.

Mang Gurtai, who had been running and commanding under the city, also let out a long breath at this time, thinking that he would soon see the end of victory.

But the next scene that greeted him was an unprecedented blow to him!

Aibali, one of the true ones of the Blue Banner Meller, led his elite to rush towards the Ming army that came to help, thinking that he only needed one charge to defeat the Ming army with spears as usual, but what he didn't expect was that the Ming army suddenly stopped steadily under the command of his generals a hundred and ten steps away.

Then, the Ming soldiers in the front row quickly lay on the ground, the Ming soldiers in the second row knelt on one knee, and the Ming soldiers in the third row were still standing upright, and the spears in their hands were not spears, but firearms equipped with blades.

Aibali knew that there must be something strange in it, and was about to drink to stop his subordinates, but suddenly heard a bang

Aibali, who rushed in front of him, suddenly felt a chill in his chest, and then immediately turned into a burning heat, followed by a great pain.

He looked down at his chest and saw that the two layers of cotton armor had been pierced by something, and blood was gushing out of his chest.

Before he could figure out what was going on, he saw a cloud of white smoke rise from the front again, followed by a loud thud.

Then there was another cone of pain, and that was the last of Aibali's senses.

Since the time of wild boar skin, he has followed the Jianyu army to fight against the Jurchen warrior Aibali, who has killed countless people, and was ended by two small projectiles.

It was also at this time that the primitive wildness of the Jianyu of this era was exposed.

Their Meler and the dozens of elite Jianlu who rushed to the front were all swept away by the musketeers reinforced by the Ming army, but the Jianlu, who was not shot behind, still refused to retreat, but still rushed towards the musketeers of the Ming army with swords and shields.

The next situation made Mang Gurtai under the city unforgettable for life, and groups of elite soldiers in armor with blue banners rushed towards the Ming soldiers holding muskets, and then were killed to the ground by groups of Ming musketeers who quickly stepped forward.

It wasn't until Mang Gurtai woke up from the huge emotional ups and downs from ecstasy to rage to stunned that he realized that it was time to retreat, and he had to retreat!

But when Mang Gurtai gave the order and shouted to herald the guards around him to blow the horn of the withdrawal of the troops, it seemed a little late.

Tunbulu, who was above the city, had also realized the danger of his situation, and when he heard the horn of the withdrawal of the army, he immediately shouted loudly: "Retreat!" Fall back! ”

The Jurchens are like this, there is no order from above, even if the defeat is decided, they cannot retreat, and with an order from above, even if victory is in sight, they must retreat!

But this time, it's hard to withdraw.

After Tunbulu gave the order, he turned around and left, but You Yangkun, who had been staring at him for a long time, suddenly rushed up and stabbed him from the top of the city to the bottom of the city with a single shot.

Two or three feet high city walls, and below the frozen river, Tunbulu screamed and fell, and there was no more sound.

At this time, the capture of the head of the city and the Jianju who were about to attack the head of the city immediately became the target of the Ming army at the head of the city, and by the time Wang Fu finally arrived at the water gate with two battalions of musketeers, the overall situation was already irreversible.

With the two thousand Chongzhen first-style flintlock muskets firing round after round with almost no interference, those who were about to attack the city with the blue banner of Jianyu Zheng, those who were about to attack the city, and a large number of soldiers gathered under the city suddenly became the target of shooting.

And with the addition of long-overdue grenades and incendiary bombs, the Jianyu under the city fell into a miserable hell.

From the attack of Jianlu in the morning to the escape of the remnants of Jianguo from the battlefield at noon, a total of half a day, more than two hours, the Guancheng on the Bauhinia Ridge was full of all kinds of corpses.

In the afternoon, the new Second Town Supervisor of the Guards, Yu Shi Fang Kong Jiong, led a group of men and horses out of the north gate of Bauhinia Pass, and sent a battalion leader along the outer wall of the city wall of the Guancheng City to kill those seriously wounded and undead enemies one by one.

Another battalion leader was sent to collect the Han Chinese and some Horqin Mongols who had fled all over the mountains outside the wall.

There was also a battalion leader, sent by Fang Kongzhi to follow the course of the Juma River to collect those war horses that had run away or been abandoned.

In addition, Wang Fu also filmed Chen Youjian, who was also from Dongjiang Town, leading another battalion to hunt down the officers and soldiers who fled from the battlefield, of course, mainly the Baoding soldiers who fled in a hurry after Chen Hongfan's death.

In the evening of the same day, Fang Kongzhi took the battalion officers of the three battalions to the general camp office of the second town of the new Guards Army at the so-called Nantianmen at the south gate of Bauhinia Pass, and summarized the situation with the heads and brains below Wang Fu, the capital of the second town.

The Ming officers and troops suffered more than 12,300 casualties, including more than 30 officers and colonels below Chen Hongfan, the chief military officer of Baoding.

Among them, it also includes the deserters who were recovered by Chen Youjian in batches after the war, and then Wang Fu ordered batches to be shot out, accumulating more than 1,000 people.

The casualties of the Ming officers and soldiers were mainly concentrated in Chen Hongfan's ranks, and the casualties of the new second town of the Guards Army totaled more than 2,000 people, accounting for 20% of them, but there were many wounds and few deaths.

And the statistical results brought back by Fang Kongzhi who led the army out of the city were also reported to everyone one by one.

The Brain Wen Korqin people threw 4,148 corpses under the city.

The blue flag of Jianyu threw 4,621 corpses under the city.

In addition, 2,668 horses with saddle horses and other harnesses were harvested.

The remaining seizures are pending a further count.

There are also more than 1,000 Han Chinese people alive.

As for the Han people who died outside the city, Fang Kongzhi did not count them in the battle results, but he did not specifically mention them.

After such an inventory and statistics, all the generals of the newly formed second town of the Guards Army below Wang Fu and Fang Kongzhi were silent.

In the end, Wang Fu said: "On the battle array, death and injury are inevitable. Fortunately, the emperor blessed us and allowed us to guard this Bauhinia Ridge! And the new second town, after this battle, can be regarded as gaining a firm foothold! ”
