In the direction of the West Gate, the attack of Jiannu is also continuing, but the pressure in the direction of the West Gate is much smaller than that in the direction of the North Gate.

Hauge is commanded in the direction of the north gate, and Dordo is commanded in the west direction, which is Dorgon's selfish motive, and it is also the reason why Hauge took the initiative to ask for his life.

Hauge was competitive but not very good at strategy, and when he lost the battle, he repeatedly ridiculed him, and took the initiative to lead his army to attack the most heavily defended north gate of Datong, but demanded that all the red-coated cannons be under his command. Knowing that the Ming army concentrated the main forces of defense in the direction of the north gate, Dolgon finally agreed to Hauge's request and let Doldor command the battle in the direction of the west gate, and Azig led the army to attack the east gate.

There are more than 60,000 men and horses under Haoge's command, but most of them are the Han army, the Korean army and the Mongolian Eight Banners, and the female Allah only has the Zhenglan Banner and the Blue Clan led by Haoge himself, and there are about 10,000 men and horses. There were only more than 30,000 people in the Duoduo department, but more than 10,000 were female Allah. In terms of combat effectiveness, the Duoduo Division, which is inferior in the number of troops, is still stronger than the men and horses led by Hauge.

But in the siege battle, the side with the superior number of personnel, basically has the upper hand, after all, the combat effectiveness of the siege is not completely reflected in the form of individual soldier quality, a sergeant who is not very good at combat effectiveness, is likely to kill another sergeant who is stronger than him in all aspects, and a strong city wall can make a weak person become a strong man.

After the attack in the direction of the north gate began, Duoduo's men and horses also began to attack the west gate of Datong.

Cao Yue personally commanded at the North Gate, and the battlefield commander in the direction of the West Gate was Deputy Chief Soldier Zhao Liang.

Zhao Liang followed Cao Yue to lead the army during this time, the strategic awareness has changed a lot, he has realized that the huge power of firearms is bows and arrows, war knives can not be compared at all, so he attaches great importance to the configuration of artillery and muskets on the battlefield, and he has been further reused by Cao Yue, this time he was entrusted with the command of Ximen's army.

The first wave of the attack in the direction of Ximen was also composed of the Han and Korean armies and the Mongol Eight Banners.

Commanding the first wave of attacks was Xu Erxian, a general under the command of Zhishun Wang Shang Kexi.

In that year, Xu Erxian and another general, Ban Erfu, followed Shang Aixi to join the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and were promoted one after another because of their bravery and repeated military exploits. This time, Shang Kexi ordered him to lead the vanguard army to attack Datong, in fact, he wanted to use Xu Erxian's bravery to attack the head of Datong City and open a passage for the follow-up men and horses he led.

But both Shang Kexi and Xu Erxian knew that this attack was destined to not be so smooth, and to describe it in a depressing word, that is, there was more than one bad luck.

Although they knew that there was no good luck or bad luck, they had no other choice but to rush in the direction of death.

The men and horses under the command of Xu Erxian adopted the same tactic, that is, to open the way with a lug shield, and the sergeant hid behind the lug shield and rushed forward, rushed to the range of the bow and arrow, and then concentrated his shot.

Seeing that Jiannu, who was rushing over by the black pressure, entered the range of the artillery, Zhao Liang calmly gave the order to shoot, and more than twenty Franc machine guns opened fire at the same time.

Within the firing range, the lethality of the Franc cannon was very terrifying, a large number of Jiannu fell under the fire of the artillery, and the shield array collapsed in an instant, followed by a dense burst of musket bullets, and a large number of Jiannu fell under the fire of the artillery and muskets.

The Franc cannon was introduced to China from Portugal during the Jiajing period and became the main artillery of the army in the middle of the Ming Dynasty. Subsequently, the Ming Dynasty began to imitate this artillery and achieved success. The Furlong Cannon is an early reloader smoothbore cannon consisting of a mother gun and a child gun. The female gun body tube is slender, the caliber is small, and each female gun is equipped with a plurality of sub-guns, which are similar to small firearms, which can be pre-loaded with ammunition for backup, and are loaded into the mother guns in turn to launch during combat, thus improving the firing speed. The gun body is equipped with a front sight and a door, which can aim and shoot at long-distance targets. There are gun lugs on both sides of the gun body, which can be placed on the bracket and can be tilted to adjust the firing angle.

The advantage of this type of artillery is that ammunition is pre-stored in the sub-gun, which does not have to be temporarily reloaded, which can speed up the firing. The disadvantage is that the body barrel is shorter, and the range is much shorter compared to the redcoat cannon.

But no matter how short the firing range is, it is far longer than the range of bows and arrows, and the dense firing of the Franc cannon is very lethal to Jiannu.

Most of the nearly 5,000 Jiannu in the first round of attack fell under the continuous fire of artillery and muskets, and after surrendering to Jiannu, the traitor Xu Erxian, who had made great achievements by slaughtering countless compatriots, was also blown to pieces by shells and died with a whimper.

Jiannu, who had lost his commander, was immediately disorganized, and under the intensive musket fire of the Ming army, the remaining sergeants turned around and ran.

Duoduo, who was overseeing the formation in the back, saw that Shang Kexi's men and horses had been defeated before they could rush to the vicinity of the city wall, his face turned blue with anger, and when he saw the remnants of the first wave of attacks quickly fleeing, he viciously issued a new order.

With Duoduo's order, a rain of arrows swept over his head, shooting at the remnants of nearly 2,000 Han and Korean troops who had fled, and most of the Han and Korean troops who had managed to escape the artillery and musket fire of the Ming army at the head of Datong City died under the arrows of their master's daughter.

Duoduo was already red-eyed, and after ordering the Jurchen elite cavalry he led to shoot and kill the retreating Han and Korean troops, he gave the order to attack the city again. With Duoduo's order, another general under Shang Kexi's command, Ban Erfu, led the 6,000 Han Army, Eight Banners and 3,000 Korean Army. There are also 3,000 Mongolian Eight Banners, holding high swords and killing in the direction of the West Gate of Datong.

Behind them, there were 3,000 elite soldiers with white flags.

The Han army and the Korean army that rushed to the front covered dozens of shield arrays with countless shields, covering the Mongolian Eight Banners and Jurchens behind to attack in the direction of Datong City.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

After Jiannu rushed into the range of the Franco's cannons, the city's artillery began to fire fiercely again, and dozens of scorching solid iron bullets plowed dozens of bloody gaps in Jiannu's shield array. But Jiannu in the back quickly filled the gap and continued to rush forward. No one dares to retreat anymore, retreat is also a dead end, desperate to rush forward, there may be a way to live, they have no choice but to rush hard.

Jiannu's rapid filling of the gap greatly reduced the effectiveness of the Ming army's subsequent shooting, and most of the bullets hit the thick oars and shields, and did not cause great casualties to Jiannu.

Another round of earth-shaking shooting, solid shells and development shells fell one after another in Jiannu's formation, countless oars and shields were shattered, and fragments and stumps and broken arms flew everywhere. However, the remnants of the Jiannu quickly shrank their formation and continued to fill the gap, the escapees were beheaded, and the remnants of the men and horses still rushed towards the west gate desperately.

The Fran cannon at the top of the city erupted in rage again, this time all flowering shells, and in the blazing blast airflow, countless broken legs, stumps, and various debris flew in the billowing black smoke, like hell on earth. But Jiannu still showed no signs of defeat, and after filling the gap in the shield array, he continued to rush forward, and the Jurchen elite behind also began to press up!
