Dozens of Jurchen archers, breaking through the resistance of flintlock pistols, began to fire arrows at the head of the city.

The arrows of the Jurchens, as ruthless as the bullets of the flintlock pistol, first left the bowstring, flew high into the sky, and then fell straight from the sky, and when they met the unlucky Ming soldiers, they immediately drilled into their **.

The wounded Ming soldiers were all sent back to the city in time, and the soldiers waiting under the city were immediately reinforced.

After the Ming army suffered casualties, the soldiers' hearts fluctuated, and they were afraid of being injured again, so they began to use the cover of the daughter wall to constantly dodge the Jurchens' arrows.

As soon as Du Wenhuan saw that the formation of the Ming army was about to be chaotic, he immediately gave a death order, not allowing the soldiers to dodge the arrows, and if he wanted to protect himself, he must first eliminate this group of Jiannu archers.

Under Du Wenhuan's high pressure, the gunmen entered a state of full attention again, they couldn't see the arrows above their heads at all, and only the Jiannu under the city were in their eyes.

Arrows continued to fall from the sky, and when the last feathered arrow pierced the sky and roared towards the city, the Jurchen archer found that he had become a real loner, that all his companions had fallen from their horses, and that the ownerless horses were looking for their masters in terror.

He forgot to draw arrows from the quiver behind him, and he didn't know whether to continue firing them at the head of the city or to rescue his wailing companions.

The flintlock pistols of the Ming army helped him make his choice.

Several bullets, from different directions, were fired at his chest and lower abdomen......

The blood from the wound had not yet penetrated the outside of the leather armor, and he desperately pressed the wound to stop the blood from flowing out, but there were too many wounds, and although he had lowered the longbow, his two hands were still not enough.

"Bang."

A gunshot rang out, and he was shot in the cheek again, and red blood gushed out along the blood hole.

His vision began to blur, and he wanted to look up to see who had fired the bullet, but it was like a 10,000-pound boulder above his head, and he couldn't lift his head.

The horse was frightened, his hind hips pouted, his legs rose off the ground, and he was flipped to the ground at once......

The Jurchen archers in the back are still confronting the Ming army, not a confrontation, they are coming up one by one to send them to death, the firepower of the Ming army is completely concentrated in a hundred paces, as long as they enter this range, the bow and arrow are like entering the Bermuda Delta, and they are suddenly swept away without a trace.

Dan Tiqing glanced at Hulus in the air, his soldiers were still on the ladder, and they had not yet climbed to the top of the city, and they were no better than himself.

Du Wenhuan at the head of the city, while commanding the soldiers to block Dan Tiqing's cavalry, looked at the gunners on the other side, there was no danger for the time being, and there was no need to mobilize the reserves behind.

Suddenly, he saw a group of Jiannu cavalry in the distance outside the battlefield, as if they were following behind to supervise the battle.

"The one who oversees the war must be a high-ranking official of Jiannu, maybe Mang Gurtai is inside." He secretly gave the gunners an order: "Concentrate all the artillery, fire a salvo, and target the group of cavalry behind." ”

"Boom...... Long ......"

Forty artillery pieces can fire forty flowering shells at one time, and some flowering shells deviate, but more than twenty flowering shells still fall in the crowd.

The cavalry was grouped together, almost stationary, as if it were a fixed target, and the flowering shells were also concentrated fire, blasting the area to the ground.

Mang Gurtai was lucky, the flowering bullet did not fall directly on the top of his head, but the fragmented shrapnel, one piece hit his horse's belly.

The horses were in pain and galloped in the direction of the city walls.

Mang Gurtai was so shocked that he reined in the horse's reins, released the legs that were clamping the horse's belly, and adjusted the horse's head.

But the horses were frightened, castrated, and soared wildly in the direction of the city wall.

As soon as Mang Gurtai fled, the cavalry that had been accompanying him also ran back, they were not only following Mang Gurtai, but also avoiding the artillery of the Ming army.

The cavalry, which was not injured, fled a thousand paces away with Manggultai.

The Ming gunners adjusted the muzzles of the guns and adjusted the range of the flowering shells to the maximum - 1,500 paces, followed by a wave of shelling.

Mang Gurtai was taken aback: why did the range of the Ming army's artillery suddenly increase? He let go of the reins of his horse and allowed the frightened horse to flee back.

Dan Tiqing was feeling sorry for his soldiers, but Mang Gurtai did not give the order to retreat, he could only grit his teeth and insist, now that Mang Gurtai had run away, he waved his hand and immediately gave an order: "Lord Belle is in trouble, retreat quickly and protect Lord Belle." ”

There was a clamor among the cavalrymen, turning their horses' heads and galloping back, and although a few of the soldiers were reluctant to turn their heads to look back at the city, their mounts did not slow down.

Du Wenhuan saw that this Jiannu cavalry had become the dish of the Ming army, but now he was fleeing, he was so anxious that he stomped his feet and shouted at the gunners: "Quick, open the cannons, don't let these Jiannu escape." ”

The gunners immediately concentrated their fire and opened fire on these fleeing Jurchen cavalry.

The speed of the cavalry was too fast, and after two rounds of artillery fire, Dan Tiqing still led seven or eight hundred cavalry and escaped out of the range of artillery.

Fifteen hundred gunners on the left, after Dan Tiqing fled, automatically joined in the fire on Hulus.

Hulus suddenly felt a lot of pressure, it turned out that his soldiers could still rush up the ladder and climb along the ladder to the top of the city, but now the soldiers could no longer get close to the ladder.

The number of casualties is increasing, and the ladder is out of reach.

Hulusi was so angry that he scolded: "Dan Tiqing, a soft egg who has no eggs, Lord Belle did not give the order to withdraw the army, he ran away without authorization, I will definitely go to Lord Belle to accuse him." ”

The gunners in the city didn't care what Hulus thought, and the bullets rained down like bullets, and the Jurchen infantry under the city - the cavalry dismounted, and there were no horses, of course, they were infantry.

The Jurchen soldiers rushed to the position of the ladder like a tide, but the bullets of the flintlock pistols were several times faster, and they shot mercilessly at the head of the tide.

The Jurchen soldiers at the front, one after another, like dominoes, fell to the ground one after another, and the Jurchen soldiers in the back made up for it.

It turned out that the speed at which they made up exceeded the speed of death, so the team continued to advance, and some people even climbed the ladder, but after the Ming gunners on the left were added, the tide was completely contained, and the soldiers who made up for it were not as good as the number of soldiers who were killed or wounded.

The speed of the infantry was already much slower than that of the cavalry, but now the ground was full of obstacles - wounded soldiers or corpses, and the speed of the Jurchen soldiers' impact slowed down even further, like the tide meeting an oncoming undercurrent, and the castration suddenly decreased.

Bruce looked up at the city, and then around at the bottom of the city.

He is now a lone army, and Mang Gurtai and Dan Tiqing have long since fled without a trace.

"Without Mang Gurtai's order, would he be a deserter like Dan Tiqing?" Hulus hesitated, he had the intention to continue the siege, if Quang Ninh was captured, he would have the full credit, and the cattle and sheep, wealth and women that would be rewarded at that time would ......

But the gunners of the Ming army in the city, all the firepower was concentrated on his soldiers, he didn't deliberately count them, but he could also feel that the casualties were by no means a few.

The sun was still high in the sky, and if the city was broken now, he could still expel the Ming army from the city before it got dark, and he could still enjoy a night alone.

Now his soldiers not only did not break the city, but they could not even get close to the ladder, and in the moment he hesitated, dozens more soldiers fell.

Hulus dragged a personal soldier: "Go and see how many soldiers we have." ”

"Yes, yes." The soldier jumped on his horse and made a half-circle around the perimeter of the soldiers, slowing down his horse and carefully counting the number of soldiers.

After a while, the soldier came back with his head drooping, he turned over and dismounted, came to Hulus, and said in a low voice: "Ezhen, we still have more than 400 soldiers. ”

"What? Only four hundred soldiers? Hulus grabbed the collar of his soldier's leather armor: "You coward, you must be afraid of the Ming army's fire # guns, you didn't see it clearly." ”

The soldiers cried with sad faces: "Ezhen, I really counted carefully, it shouldn't be more than four hundred and fifty soldiers, this trip back and forth, I'm afraid there will be dozens of casualties." ”

With a swipe of his right hand, Hulus pushed his soldiers away, and his gaze turned to the battlefield again.

Flintlock pistols and bows and arrows are devouring each other, the Jurchen soldiers have not replenished, and if they die, there will be one less, but the Ming army at the head of the city is endless, and it seems that there is no vacancy in a position until now.

"Damn Han people, why are there so many?" While cursing, Hulus calculated in his heart that if he continued to fight, the soldiers would die.

"Eh, it's just us fighting." The soldiers came up and reminded them carefully.

Bruce looked at the head of the city with infinite nostalgia, his soldiers were only four hundred, and even if they could climb to the top of the city, the huge city of Quang Ninh, they would not be able to swallow it.

"Withdraw!" Hulus gritted his teeth and snapped two words out between his teeth.

The Jurchen soldiers stopped firing arrows at the head of the city, and they turned around and ran towards the area where their horses were parked, not minding at all leaving their backs to the gunners of the Ming army.

"Jiannu is running away."

The morale of the Ming army was greatly boosted, there was no threat of arrows, and the bullets of the flintlock pistols were more dense, and they shot mercilessly at the backs of the Jurchen soldiers, and the Jurchen soldiers who ran behind fell again.

The Jurchen soldiers in front grabbed the horses, and they did not look back, and followed Hulus away.

"Artillery, quick, fire." Du Wenhuan was in a hurry, Jiannu had already escaped the range of the flintlock pistol, and only the artillery could reach it.

"Boom...... Long ......"

"Boom...... Long ......"

"Boom...... Long ......"

……

Although all the artillery was fired, there were too few Jurchen soldiers in the city, only three or four hundred, and it was difficult for flowering shells to fall into the crowd of horses, which was a bit like seeing off the Jurchen soldiers.

Hulus desperately caught up with Mang Gurtai and Dan Tiqing, and the three of them joined forces.

Mang Gurtai's face was gloomy, and the mare's milk wine that never left his hand was gone.

"Lord Belle, Dan Tiqing withdrew his troops without authorization, causing our department to become a lone army and suffer heavy losses." Seeing Dan Tiqing, Hulus finally found an outlet to vent.

"Let's talk about it later!" Mang Gurtai pulled the reins of his horse, turned his horse's head, and took the lead in flying towards the big tent.

He estimated that the cavalry under his command was less than 1,500, not even a single armor was not enough, the Ming army was good at sneak attacks, so a few soldiers stayed in the field, and the big tent was no longer safe.

"Put away the big tent and go back to Xiping Fort immediately."
