Chapter 266 Yingzhou Victory 5

Another autumn has arrived, and on the prairie, the sky is high and cool, and the cool breeze is pleasant. [+New ^^+.]

Tens of thousands of Tatar troops, rested in Guyuan City for a day and a night, and early the next morning, after the soldiers had a full meal, they immediately waved their troops south to besiege Xuanfu City.

However, due to the battle last night, the Tatar army suffered heavy losses, and then was attacked and harassed by the Ming army one after another, coupled with the loss of soldiers and horses during the attack on Guguan, so the Tatar army at this time has been reduced from the original 60,000 horses to less than 40,000.

However, even if it is 40,000 people, this number is several times more than the defenders of Xuanfu City, because the number of defenders of the Ming army in Xuanfu at this time is less than 10,000, so the gap between the two sides is very large. In this case, even if the Ming army could rely on a strong city for defense, it should be difficult to resist the Tatar attack.

Soon, the Tatar army has driven outside the city, ready to attack the city, and at this time, in the city of Xuanfu, all the soldiers are also ready for a big battle, it can be said that at this time, both sides are grinding their palms and fists, ready to give the enemy a head-on blow, but no one knows what the real result will be, after all, on the battlefield, the situation is changing, and no one can calculate everything.

At this time, Zhu Houzhao was dressed in military uniform, his armor was cold, and his expression was grim, but he was standing at the head of the city, looking coldly at the Tatar army outside the city.

Yes, he finally saw the Tatar army with his own eyes, which made him a little excited and nervous, you know, it is this team, but it has plagued the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years, almost from the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the threat from the Saiwai grassland, has not stopped for a day, and the Ming Dynasty has also paid an incomparably huge price for this, not only has to be stationed on the border with heavy troops. And every year they have to be burned, killed and looted by these barbarians, and the losses are really immeasurable.

So, from very early times. Zhu Houzhao had a dream in his heart, he dreamed that he could become Wei Qinghuo in the Han Dynasty, be able to release horses on the grassland, kill all these barbarians, and make them dare not attack the border of the Ming Dynasty again.

And now. He was not far from his dream, at least he had already taken the first step to face the Tatars on the battlefield.

"In this battle, I must fight these Tatars to make them frightened, and I want them to always remember this sore spot in their hearts, so that they will never dare to invade my Ming Dynasty easily!"

Zhu Houzhao clenched his fists and finished speaking, then Huo Ran turned around, glanced at the general generals behind him, and then gave an order to prepare them for defense. Everything is going according to plan, everyone must fight to the death, and there is absolutely no room for any cowardice.

Those generals are also excited and enthusiastic at this time, after all, they are from the dragon side at this time, this is a rare opportunity in a thousand years, I believe that after their battle, no matter what the results are. Thinking about it, it must be a glorious past that they will talk about for the rest of their lives.

"Woo woo"

Soon, the Tatar trumpets sounded, and the Tatar army began to start a siege battle, first launching dozens of wooden siege towers. Preparing to attack the city directly, at the same time, many of the remaining Tatar soldiers, carrying ladders, rushed under the city walls in all directions. They were also ready to rely on ladders to climb the city wall, but in addition, there were more Tatar soldiers, directly pulling on the rope hook, ready to rely on the rope hook to climb the city wall. In short, it was just a moment of time, and the Tatar army was all moving, with the soldiers besieging the city in front and the army covering by archery in the back.

In the face of the Tatar attack, the city of Xuanfu was also full of drums and cannons, and all the defenders were thrown into the stubborn battle of the city defense.

First, the Ming army dispersed to the head of the city, while resisting the Tatar army besieging the city, on the other hand, it was the use of poisoned arrows and fire guns and poisonous sand to fight back against those Tatar troops, such a method of warfare, naturally caused great casualties to those Tatars, and then, when the Tatar siege wooden buildings approached the edge of the city wall, they used cannons to bombard those wooden buildings, which made those wooden buildings not only not complete the mission of the siege, but collapsed into a pile of rotten wood, I don't know how many Tatar soldiers were killed. After that, the Ming army at the head of the city wore masks, and then repeated the old tricks, throwing out the poisonous smoke incendiary bottles, but it created a large area of poisonous smoke and fog outside the city, which caused great obstacles and troubles to those Tatars, because their army was poisoned by thousands of people in an instant, and many soldiers died on the spot, and more were struggling in pain, which made their siege operations impossible to continue at all, because as long as they approached the city wall at this time, they would inhale poisonous smoke. That situation is tantamount to death.

So, the battle lasted from early morning to late afternoon, and the Tatars, having left thousands of corpses, had no choice but to withdraw their troops, and retreated ten miles to camp and set up camp, preparing to wait until the poisonous smoke under the city had dissipated before attacking the city.

However, what those Tatars didn't expect was that at this time, they once again encountered the trouble they had encountered in Guyuan City, that is, the water sources near their camp had been poisoned, which caused them to be unable to draw water nearby, and in a hurry, they could only order the soldiers to save water as much as possible in order to prolong the use of the water bladder with them. However, in this way, the soldiers who were poisoned were a little miserable, because they obviously needed a lot of drinking water, but now there was no water for them to drink, so because of the lack of water, many soldiers died innocently.

Obviously, this situation made the little prince of Boyan extremely distressed, and then he was thinking about withdrawing the army to the river next to Guyuan City again, because, now it seems that only this way can ensure the drinking water problem of the army, but in that case, they retreated too far, a hundred miles away from Xuanfu, coming and going, not only consuming time, but also making the army extremely tired, such a way of coming and going, obviously not a good strategy.

However, if he doesn't leave, he will fall into the predicament of water shortage, so he is really a little entangled now.

So, under his entanglement, the time has gradually reached the evening time, and then, at this time, Boyan hesitated, ready to take advantage of the night to attack Xuanfu again, if he still can't achieve effective results at that time, then he will withdraw his troops and retreat to Guyuan, so that at least he will not have any regrets.

After making up his mind, Boyan ordered the army to have a full meal, and then took advantage of the night to pull out the camp and rush towards Xuanfu City again.

It's just that what Boyan didn't expect was that this time, when they rushed to the city of Xuanfu, they saw that the Ming army actually sent a team out of the city to meet them.

At this time, Boyan was a little overjoyed, you know, his army, at this time, it is true that there are heavy losses, but anyway, there are still 30,000 people, and the Ming army's team is only less than 5,000 people, how can they fight against their own army?

Therefore, at this moment, when Boyan saw this situation, he couldn't help but be full of excitement, and quickly ordered the army to rush towards the Ming army. He wanted to repeat the old story of capturing Guyuan City, prepare the way for the Ming army to return to the city, and then eat this Ming army alive, and at the same time take Xuanfu City.

However, what those Tatars did not expect was that at this time, those Ming troops, in the face of their charge, were not afraid.

All the Ming troops leaned against the city, lined up, and used bows and arrows and firearms to fight back at those Tatars, while slowly retreating, giving those Tatars the illusion of fear, and then, when those Tatars were about to storm the front of the army, they suddenly saw the front row of the Ming army suddenly flashed, and then dozens of cars were pushed out of the ranks of the Ming army.

It's just that this time the cart pushed out by the Ming army had no flames, no knives and guns, and only a large bundle of bamboo pipes on it, which made those Tatars a little confused, and they didn't know what these Ming troops were doing again.

Then, at this time, just when those Tatars were wondering, all of a sudden, they saw the Ming army behind those cars suddenly raise fire, as if they were igniting something on the cars, and then, those Tatars saw a large fire behind those cars, and then they heard a piercing sound of "chirp" breaking the sky, and then the bamboo pipes on those cars were dragging long flame tails, like sharp arrows, and flew towards their array.

Speaking of which, these rocket dense array artillery vehicles of the Ming army are really powerful, but in less than a quarter of an hour, thousands of rockets flew out together, and then those rockets lit up the night sky at the same time, after falling into the Tatar formation, they also exploded immediately, killing countless Tatar soldiers at the same time, and once again constructed a thick poisonous smoke area on the battlefield, which made those Tatars be smashed head-on again, and the damage was countless, and the rest was poisoned and injured. The whole team seemed to be in a state of collapse, and it was chaotic.

Then, at this time, in the night sky in the southwest direction, there was a cannon sound, a team of Ming army Pegasus attacked, instantly rushed into the Tatar army, and fought hard, at the same time, in the northeast direction, it was also the sound of cannons, and another team of Ming troops killed, and then, at this moment, the Ming army defenders of Xuanfu also waved their troops to cover up, so, it was just an instant, the Tatars fell into a state of being surrounded on three sides, and instantly fell into the cage that the Ming army had already built for them.

"Kill, the victory or defeat is in one fell swoop, and the achievement is at this moment!"

At this moment, among the defenders of Xuanfu, a young general raised his arms and shouted, and took the lead in rushing forward, but who was Zhu Houzhao? (To be continued.) )
