Sonam, who suffered heavy losses and was desperately directing his men and horses to retreat, did not expect that Dolgon would not allow him to retreat and let him continue to lead the army to attack.

He knew that Dolgon wanted to sacrifice the lives of the Mongol bannermen under his command, and was ready to gather the strength of other horses and horses to annihilate the Ming army's musket battalion. If he does what Dorgon commands, then he will follow the back of Chahan, and there will be few of his people left. But if you disobey Dorgon's orders, waiting for his orders, it will be almost the same, and Dolgon will not be able to let go of the generals who disobey the military orders and flee without a fight.

After much thought, Sonamu decided to follow Dorgon's orders and continue to lead his troops to attack.

If Dolgon leads the rest of the men to attack successfully, then as long as the other men and horses continue to attack, they will make a success. If he did not obey Dorgon's orders, neither he nor his people could escape punishment.

Sonamu didn't have time to think too much, and he couldn't hesitate any longer, so he immediately gave the order, and his men and horses continued to attack the Ming army's musket battalion position.

It's just that Sonamu didn't expect that when his men and horses suffered heavy losses, they would turn from retreating to attacking again, how difficult it would be, and there was no way to organize an orderly attack, the sergeants looked at a loss, some people turned their heads and continued to move forward according to the order, but those sergeants who did not receive the order in time fled with their heads in their hands. The attacking and retreating men and horses were entangled together, and the formation was even more chaotic.

At this time, the friendly troops chasing from behind had already rushed to their formation, and the Han army and Mongolian soldiers who came from behind suddenly rushed their formation even more chaotic. And most of the chaotic formation was within the range of the Ming army's muskets.

What's even worse is that at this time, the sky has begun to slowly become clear, and the artillery of the Ming army has begun to bombard intermittently.

Of course, the lethality of artillery is very huge, whether it is a solid bullet or a flowering projectile, everywhere it hits, it is a bloody and miserable situation. Fortunately, the artillery fire of the Ming army could not be as continuous as the musket, but the lethality of the artillery to the psychology of Jiannu was still very strong.

Seeing that Jiannu did not retreat after being hit, but continued to attack, and the men and horses from other directions also included the West Gate, Cao Yue couldn't help but secretly complain, Dolgon seemed to be ready to make a desperate bet, press all the men and horses, and fight desperately with the Datong army. According to the information he had, the Jiannu outside Datong City, in addition to the eliminated Mongols and Han troops, and the Jurchen soldiers who went to protect the artillery, there were almost 100,000 horses, and these horses still exceeded the number of more than twice the number of the Datong army.

He sent two musket battalions out of the city to ambush, the purpose was just to pick up the cavalry led by Zhao Tai who attacked the camp, and then beat Jiannu who might be pursuing, but he didn't think about fighting Jiannu to the death in this way.

But now, he had no choice but to gamble all his strength and fight Dolgon. The men and horses outside the city, he had no way to withdraw safely. If at this time, he gives the order to withdraw his troops, then the situation on the battlefield will be maintained well, and it will definitely change immediately.

"Boy, it looks like you've got a big play!" Sun Chuanting still didn't change his joking appearance in front of Cao Yue, and said in a weird manner: "You originally only planned to beat up Dolgon, but you didn't expect to completely annoy the people, and Jiannu attacked the two musket battalions you sent out of the city with all his might. Hehe, that's okay, when Jiannu's most elite men and horses went to protect the artillery, we fought to the death with them, without those 20,000 Jurchen elite cavalry, Dolgon wanted to eat our two and a half musket battalions, and nearly 10,000 cavalry, the price they had to make would be very large, maybe Jiannu after a battle, completely injured vitality, and no longer have the strength to march south!"

"Old man Sun, you mean, I can't bear to let the child trap the wolf, today I will go out, use the elite of more than 20,000 Datong troops, and Jiannu to fight to the death, if you lose, it's a big deal to lose Datong City, and if you win, you can completely change the situation between the enemy and us," Cao Yue said, staring back at Sun Chuanting very seriously, and asked very seriously: "Is that so?" ”

"Exactly!" Sun Chuanting looked very excited, "Look at today's situation, Jiannu has suffered heavy losses, Geng Zhongming's men and horses have basically been wiped out, and the pursuing Jiannu has also suffered heavy casualties, as long as you can provide sufficient musket ammunition, the blocking of the two musket battalions, and the support of the artillery on the head of the city, and the cooperation of more than 10,000 cavalry, it is not so easy for Jiannu to take advantage." ”

Cao Yue stared at Sun Chuanting viciously for a while, and finally reluctantly agreed with what Old Man Sun said, "Okay, today I will let the two and a half musket battalions all go out of the city, and let the pikemen also go out of the city to protect the flanks of the musket battalion, and let these more than 30,000 people fight to the death with Jiannu!"

"This kind of courage is the person that my Sun Chuanting admires!" Sun Chuanting extended a thumbs up to Cao Yue and praised: "The old man will immediately report the situation in Datong to the imperial court and ask for reinforcements." Regardless of whether or not reinforcements can arrive, the situation in Datong will definitely be clear to the imperial court. If you win this battle, then you and I will have no one to compare; In case of defeat, the court will not be able to dispose of us!"

"Okay, that's it!" Cao Yue rolled his eyes, he despised Sun Chuanting a little, and without a little effort, he wanted to borrow his men and horses to make military achievements, and couldn't help but sarcastically: "Old man Sun, I don't seem to need your appreciation!"

Sun Chuanting ignored Cao Yue's white eyes and sarcasm, stroked the beard under his forehead, and then suggested: "Boy, prepare another group of men and horses, copy the back road of Jiannu, let Dolgon have a little worry, just a few thousand people and horses, you can let the person you least trust bear this matter!"

"Alright! Agree to your proposal, and let Gao Gao lead 3,000 men and prepare to attack from the north gate!" Cao Yue understood what Sun Chuanting meant, and immediately made arrangements.

At this time, the battle under the city began to enter a fierce state, and Jiannu, who could not maintain a good formation, rushed forward desperately as if they were fighting. There was a Jiannu, holding a shield, slowly moving forward.

Cao Yue also immediately ordered the artillery on the head of the city to bombard the Jiannu holding the shield and prevent them from having a chance to get close to the musket array.

Immediately the artillery on the head of the city began to fire.

Today's artillery, although the accuracy is speechless, is still quite lethal in the face of the dense queue of Jiannu attacks.

A solid bullet, whistling out of the city, happened to fall in a Jiannu array that was slowly moving forward with a shield, and suddenly ploughed out a bloody passage, and countless Jiannu were crushed into pulp by the solid bullets coming at high speed, and the shield array was immediately destroyed, and a row of musket bullets followed, and the shield array, which had the least casualties, suddenly disappeared on the battlefield.

At this time, the sand and dust in the sky came from both the north and the south.

It was the Jurchen elite cavalry under the command of Dolgon, Azig, Haug and others, and the Mongol soldiers of the Manzhu Xili, who tried to attack from both flanks, destroy or disrupt the Ming cavalry guarding the two flanks of the musket battalion, and then charge the musket battalion from the flank.
