Due to the limited width of the city wall, the Mongol army was large in number, but it was not possible to participate in the battle. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, the main force of the Mongol soldiers attacking the south gate was two thousand troops led by the brain-haired family, with a total of 1,900 Mongol soldiers. In addition, there were 500 of his personal guards, who came to supervise the battle with their brains. In addition, the third brother of Brain Hair 'Menda' led the headquarters of 800 men and horses to attack together, and joined the battle at any time depending on the progress of the battle.

The south gate of the Puhe Institute was about a mile away from the river bank, and the attention of the brain hair department was attacking the city at this time, and they did not notice that there were soldiers and horses approaching on the south bank. As the deafening cannon sound rang out, I realized that something had changed behind me.

Looking at the south bank from the back of the horse, he saw that the Ming army had formed a chariot formation, and all kinds of flags were swaying in the wind. As the horn sounded in the middle of the Ming army, the car formation began to slowly approach the river bank. From time to time, there was a large group of elite horsemen running back and forth, looking from a distance, the south bank was rolling with wind and sand, and there were faint rows of Ming troops on top of each other, and I don't know how many reinforcements arrived.

"When will so many Ming troops arrive?" Brain Mao was frightened, and then Menda rode his horse and came: "Brother, look at the banner should be the defender who met on the bank of the river before, and rushed to the rescue after joining with the reinforcements, see that there are no less than 5,000 soldiers and horses on the other side of the river." It is very rare for the Ming army in Liaodong to be equipped with chariots, and the strict formation of the enemy seems to be the elite of the Ming people. ”

A few days ago, Menda had led his troops to attack Pinglu Fort, and had lost many horses, and there was a hint of cowardice in his words.

The generals under the command of the brain-haired man all gasped, but they didn't expect to defeat the Ming cavalry who had just come to help. The Ming army also dared to risk death to come to help, and the number of people increased a lot.

From the banner of coming to the aid of the people, the brain Mao Da recognized the defenders in the Pingyu Fort, and sneered: "These Ming people who are not afraid of death are so hateful, they actually dare to lead the army to come to death, and order the army to stop attacking the city and gather here." Today, I will slaughter them all by the river of Pu, so as to sacrifice the souls of the warriors who have died in the past few days. ”

Brainhair gave the order, the generals were not willing to disobey and immediately Mingjin withdrew the troops, and with the sound of the horn of the retreating troops, it instantly spread all over the Puhe River and both sides of the riverbank.

The Mongolian Tartars, who were fighting in the southern city of Puhe, were stunned at first, knowing that the city was about to be destroyed, and at this time, the retreating soldiers couldn't help showing a trace of unwillingness on their faces. However, the brains have always been decisive in killing, and when they heard the call to withdraw their troops, no one dared to disobey the order, and they covered each other and withdrew from the city, and they still had the strength to take away the corpses of many of their comrades who died in battle.

The defenders on the southern city had long been exhausted, and Han Yuanshan was powerless to pursue and kill, so he watched the Tartars retreat from the city. Immediately command the army and civilians to rescue the wounded, and at the same time send people to the other three cities to spread the message.

Attacking Gongtu in the west of the city, he heard that his brother had ordered him to assemble, and he didn't know what had happened, so he immediately led his troops to stop the offensive and led his troops to converge. Bai Hongda and Chang Ang were also confused when they saw this, worried that the situation would change, they stopped their troops and rushed to Nancheng to check.

Cao Xixuan, who was holding on to the north gate, saw that he couldn't resist it, and was ready to lead his troops to open the city and surrender. Seeing the Tartar retreating, he showed an incredible expression, as if he couldn't believe what had happened. "The Mongols are about to break the city, why did they suddenly retreat, could it be that I am dreaming?" Thinking that at this time, he called a housekeeper and slapped him.

"Smack!" Jia Ding's slap was inexplicable, and he covered his cheeks and said, "General, why are you beating me?" ”

"You kid knows that it hurts, it doesn't seem to be a dream." Cao Xixuan said disapprerovingly, seeing that the siege of the city Tartars slowly rushed to the south, as if something big had happened, he said angrily: "This official beats you and looks up to you, go to Nancheng to see what happened." ”

"Your grandma's!" Although the family held his breath, he didn't dare to attack, so he could only curse in his heart.

Suddenly, a member of Han Yuanshan's family rushed over and cheered loudly: "Reinforcements have arrived, and there is a large group of people on the other side of the river to help, and we have saved all of Puhe." ”

The city of Puhe suddenly burst into laughter.

Only Cao Xixuan was not happy and worried, "I don't know what the chances of reinforcements are in the field." Thinking of calling Cao Yong at this time, he commanded in a low voice.

On the way to Puhesuo with his troops, Ziren heard the sound of cannons here, and was worried that the city would be lost, so he immediately urged the soldiers and horses to speed up the march. After running all the way to this, seeing that the Tartars were attacking the city in a hurry, they didn't care about repairing it, so they immediately ordered to form a formation to meet the enemy.

Lei Zhenwei led the firearms division in the center, and Wang Shouguan and Zhou Daqi's two infantry divisions were separated from him, lined up on the south bank of the Pu River. The infantry of the two divisions had chariots to block them, and Zi Rente pulled out the rattan players among the infantry soldiers and temporarily incorporated them into the firearms division to block the arrows fired by the tartars for the gunners. Wang ordered the cavalry to follow Ziren to press the formation in the rear, and at the same time monitor Cao Xiyuan and his party.

Li Rumei and Sun Shoujing have not yet returned, and their subordinates are temporarily under the command of Ziren. Ziren ordered the two of them to form a formation in the rear with a team, and at the same time held high the battle flag to strengthen their momentum. The cavalry sent 100 horsemen and horses to patrol the river to prevent a small group of Tartars from crossing the river and attacking. All the rest were tied to the back of the horses, and the horses galloped into dust, so that the Tartars could not see how many men and horses they had come, and laid up a suspicious plan.

Ziren sent a total of 10 carts of exterminating cannons with one cart and three guns, plus four hundred-pound Franc machine guns borrowed from the Golden Crown, for a total of 34 artillery pieces. They are all medium and light guns suitable for field battles, and they are placed on artillery trucks and dragged by pack horses for easy maneuvering. You can fire at the enemy in the car, and you can also shoot at enemy soldiers and horses in different directions. If necessary, it can also form a chariot battalion to block the Mongolian cavalry, which is used to block the enemy and attack the enemy.

Each cannon is operated by two gunners and two rattan shields. Franc needed three gunners, so he had one rattan player and three guards. Except for the old ones at Changning Fort, these gunners were recruited from the soldiers who had been dismissed from Li Qing's battalion, and after the tempering of the war in the past few days, they were able to handle the artillery with ease.

Seeing Ziren's order, he immediately took out the skids he carried with the car and raised the muzzle of the gun to increase the firing range. When firing, the exterminator cannon can be loaded with a projectile weighing about one catty, and the firing range is about 150 steps because the belly cannon muzzle is sealed with a wooden horse. Due to the lack of strict breath-holding in the rear loading, the firing range of the Franc cannon was slightly inferior to about 120 paces.

As soon as Ziren had completed the formation of a hundred steps outside the south bank of the Pu River, he saw that the Tartars had already attacked the city, and he did not care that the enemy was still out of range, so he immediately ordered the Fran machine gun to open fire and disturb the enemy.

The four Furlong guns fired in turn, and the shells whizzed out of their muzzles, leaping over the river and slamming heavily into the ground.

Ziren saw that the Tartars stopped attacking the city after hearing the sound of cannons, and began to assemble on the bank of the river, and said in a loud voice: "Pass my order, the chariot formation will slowly press forward, and I, Ding Shouming, will let the Tartars' flesh and blood fill the Pu River today!" ”
