A few days ago, Chang Ang and the others had completed the assembly, and in order to avoid having no leader in the border group this time, they discussed for many days before they reluctantly elected the direct bloodline of the 'Golden Family' -- Brain Mao Da as the leader. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

At noon today, he had just led the army to break through the wall and go south, and he wanted to lead the troops to directly besiege Pingyu Fort. However, according to the report of the reconnaissance cavalry, more than 1,000 Ming troops have just been stationed here, and there are also large groups of Ming troops in several enemy stations around them.

Although the Mongolian iron cavalry was proficient in using the 'Huihui Cannon' (also known as the Xiangyang Cannon) in the early years, this kind of large-scale siege equipment, it is a pity that after returning to the grassland, due to continuous internal disputes, the siege ability has greatly regressed.

Everyone had their own ghosts in this joint army, and they didn't want their clansmen to lose too much. In the end, Brainhair listened to Changang's proposal and decided on this plan to lure the enemy out of the city.

Who knew that his own plan would be seen through by Ziren early, watching the Ming cavalry rush all the way south, Chang Ang and the others knew that they couldn't catch up. A small group of men and horses followed behind, and most of them turned their attention to the foot soldiers of the 'Ming army'.

After being wounded, the thief had difficulty moving, and was surrounded by the Mongol cavalry less than a hundred paces away. In a desperate situation, the thieves panicked and had no battle to speak of, although many of them were fierce and fought back. But in the face of the overwhelming superiority of the Mongol army, any resistance at this time was futile.

With the rain of arrows coming, the 'Ming army's foot soldiers fell to the ground in anger after several arrows, Changang, the rabbit, and the fried flowers looked at these improperly armored 'Ming army' corpses, and then remembered the Ming cavalry's actions of abandoning their companions, and their hearts were a little more contemptuous of the Ming people's combat power.

At this time, the soldiers and horses who led the troops to chase Ziren came to report, and the cavalry of the Ming army had withdrawn into the city, and they did not dare to go out to battle with the city gate closed. The three of Chang Ang looked at each other and smiled, and then began to gather their troops and horses and head towards Pingyu Fort.

Ziren was chased by hundreds of slaves along the way, and Sun Shoujing saw it clearly on the city wall. After Fang Ziren entered the city, he immediately greeted him, and said with palpitations: "Ziren, thanks to your timely reminder, otherwise I would have confessed if I didn't dare to fight my little life." At this time, seeing that none of the foot soldiers who went out of the city with Ziren came back, he said with regret: "It's just a pity for these brothers under you." ”

"Hehe" Ma Shinan and Ma Dayan couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh when they heard this.

Ziren glared at the two of them, worried that Sun Shoujing had misunderstood, and said lightly: "Third Brother Sun doesn't need to worry, these soldiers are all death row prisoners who were asked for from Hao Xun. Before I died, I rewarded them with a full meal, and I could still carry a few taels of silver in my pocket, and I could do a little up and down on Huangquan Road, which could be regarded as my kindness to them. ”

Seeing that Ziren regarded the thief's life as if he were a mustard, the corners of Sun Shoujing's mouth couldn't help twitching. Seeing this, Ziren continued: "The Mongolian Tartars seem to have learned well, and they actually know how to set up an ambush to lure us out of the city. With the lives of these thieves, the Tartars mistakenly believe that our army is too weak to fight, and they will be careless when attacking the city. So that we can delay for a few more days and wait for Hao Xun's reinforcements to arrive. ”

Without waiting for Sun Shoujing to reply, he heard several loud voices from the north of the city.

When everyone heard this, they immediately looked to the north of the city, and saw that the Wang Shouguan, who had stayed in the city on guard, rushed all the way, and said breathlessly: "The two generals are not good, and the Mongolian Tartars are here." ”

Ziren was not surprised at this time, and said to Wang Shouguan, who had not yet evened out his breath: "Don't panic, the king general, order me to be on guard in Changning Fort, so that the Tartars can see our interests and disadvantages." Then he went to Beicheng with Sun Shoujing to check.

It's also strange to say that Ziren's injured leg barely landed on the ground after yesterday's rest, and when he heard that the Tartar was coming, he endured the pain and ran all the way to the city.

Standing on top of the wall, I saw a group of Mongol cavalry approaching from the north. After pressing the big camp in the north of the city, they slowly approached the city wall from the north, east and west sides of the city, and lined up one mile away from the city.

Less than a mile south of the city is the Pu River and the sluice gate that stands by the river, and the platform is a horn along the river bank to the east. The Mongols only sent more than 1,000 cavalry to deploy in the south of the city, thinking that they must have been afraid of our Ming firearms, and they did not dare to approach easily for fear of falling into the crossfire from both sides.

Ziren and Sun Shoujing swept towards the city, and roughly estimated that the enemy numbered nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses. Seeing this, Sun Shoujing did not dare to be careless, and immediately returned to Nancheng to prepare for the war, and ordered Jin Guan and Feng Wensheng to go to the city to be on guard, and at the same time Feige sent a message to Sun Shoulian in Shenyang for help.

After the Mongolian army finished marching, they continued to send small groups of scouts, galloping around Pingyu Fort, and constantly shouting at the city in Mongolian.

Li Yongfang knew that what the Tartar said was not a good thing, and Ben also proposed to teach the opponent a lesson. Seeing that the distance was too far and he didn't want to waste the gun, Ziren politely refused Li Yongfang and told him that the enemy could only fire within eighty steps of the city.

These scouts besieged the city for a moment, and after seeing the situation in the city in general, they turned back to the battle. Ziren knew that the Mongol Tatar offensive was about to begin, and it was inconvenient to attack around the south gate, and after the Mongol Tatars had suffered, they would definitely turn the focus of their attack to the north gate.

Seeing that the enemy was outnumbered, Ziren ordered the soldiers to take out 100,000 enemies and put them beside them for later use, and asked the king to order the cavalry to dismount and go to the city. The two banners of Ma Shinan and Nahai were placed on both sides of the city wall, and Wang Mingjian and Tang Yaoshun followed him to obey the order. After going to check the various gun emplacements, he looked at the city with a wary face.

At this time, the soldiers defending the city had already assembled, took out the blades of 10,000 enemies placed beside them, clenched the blades in their hands, and stood guard behind the battlements according to the previous arrangement, ready to enter the battle at any time.

Seeing the arrival of the Mongolian cavalry, Ziren heard many soldiers gasping for breath. Although everyone has been preparing for a long time, and the morale of the army is high, it is the first time to face such a number of Mongol Tatars. Although there is a strong city to rely on, the pressure in everyone's hearts at this moment is still extremely great.

Ziren also looked serious at this time, although with the development of firearms, he could not easily conquer the city with the advantage of numbers. However, if the Tartars continue to attack day and night, the soldiers will inevitably be physically exhausted, and at this time, we can only hope that Hao Jie's reinforcements will arrive as soon as possible.

It didn't take long for the Mongols to start moving.

Out of contempt for the Ming people's combat strength, Chang Ang, who was in charge of attacking the northern city, only sent a thousand-strong team and handed it over to Bodu and Tagai to launch an offensive. Bodu led half of his men and horses to fire arrows in the rear to suppress, and promised that because of the loss of troops the day before, he should let him wait for the crime to build troops to climb the city.

Answer: With his extraordinary eyesight, he has long recognized the guard in the city as Ziren. The enemy's eyes were red when they saw each other, and after the order, they could not heal their shoulder wounds, and led their men and horses to rush towards the city.

Seeing this, Ziren smiled slightly, and said disdainfully: "Look for death!" ”
