Chapter 262: Yingzhou's Great Victory [I]

It was evening, the goshawk was circling, and the red sun sinking in the west was like blood, revealing a heavy sadness.

The soldiers on the front line of Guguan stood on top of the city, looked at the vast grassland, and suddenly saw a black line appear in the sky, and then the black line got closer and closer, and finally converged into a fierce torrent, rushing straight to the bottom of the city pass.

"The Tatars are attacking! Hurry up, hurry up! ”

As the first shouts of the defenders at the head of the city fell, in an instant, the people in the entire pass moved.

"Whew-"

The fierce flames on the battlement wall were ignited, then crushed by the damp wood and grass, and then a column of black smoke rose into the sky, drifting towards the sky.

"Whew-"

At the same time, in the rear pass, after seeing the wolf smoke, the wolf smoke was also lit, so in less than a moment, the news of the Tatar army's attack on Guguan had been transmitted to the Xuanhua city.

"Alright, it's finally here!"

At this time, Zhu Houzhao clenched his fists, he was full of excitement, at this time, he couldn't wait to go to the front line of Guguan in person and fight with the enemy, but he knew that now was not the time, he couldn't be too impulsive, he had to continue to wait, and wait until it was suitable for him to go out.

"Kill!"

Just when Zhu Houzhao was staring at the wolf smoke rushing to the sky, the Ming army on the Guguan front had already exchanged hands with the Tatar army.

The Tatar army was menacing, and after the advance reached the pass, they immediately launched an attack on Guguan. Because those Tatars are the best at fighting on horses and running long distances, they still continue the tradition of fighting on horses at this moment, while using light cavalry to travel back and forth under the pass, releasing a rain of arrows to suppress the Ming army at the top of the pass, but on the other hand, they sent a team of daredevils, carrying siege equipment, such as ladders, rope hooks and other items. Rush to the bottom of the wall, try to climb up the wall, and take the pass.

At the moment when the battle on the front line of Guguan was hot, the Tatar leading commander of the little prince Boyan decisively divided his troops into three routes, and the army bypassed Guguan and attacked Guyuan by copying the small road. The army marched westward and feinted to attack Bauhinia Pass. The Ming army that prevented Bauhinia Pass from rushing to the aid of Guguan, while the other army was rushing to attack the Fallen Horse Pass, the purpose of which was naturally to block the Ming army at the Fallen Horse Pass and prevent them from rescuing the Solid Pass.

After the little prince of Boyan made some arrangements, half of the 60,000 troops immediately dispersed, leaving only 30,000 horses, chasing and fighting around Guguan, trying to quickly take Guguan. In order to give their own people a solid foothold.

However, what those Tatars didn't expect was that the Guguan defenders this time were different from previous years, although their numbers were small, but the combat effectiveness and the defensive equipment equipped on the head of the city. But it's all better than usual, I don't know how many times it has improved.

"Boom!"

A flaming red firework suddenly exploded on the pass wall, and the artillery of the Ming army opened fire, just this cannon had already killed dozens of Tatar troops who tried to attack the city.

But. After all, there were a large number of Tatar troops, and after a group of people died, the people behind continued to rush forward, and at the same time, the arrow rain of those cavalry in the back row was also projected more and more intensively, and the situation almost pressed the Ming troops in the pass to raise their heads.

But when those Tatars wondered. At this time, even under the suppression of such a dense rain of arrows, there were still many Ming troops on the wall, continuing to resist and resist, they actually dug holes in the erected female wall, and then released arrows from the hole, which made those Tatars a little helpless, in a hurry, they could only send people to the rear army to dispatch catapults, ready to use the method of boulder bombardment, and smash down the pass wall.

It will take some time for the catapult to arrive, and then, in the period before the catapult arrives, those Tatars suddenly found that the Ming army guarding the pass this time was not only fierce in artillery fire, dense in guns and bullets, but most importantly, the arrows they shot were actually quenched poisoned arrows.

The poison on the arrow is really a bit powerful, it can actually break a little skin, it can make people immediately paralyzed and lose their mobility, and then it won't be long before they will bleed from seven holes and die tragically on the spot, what kind of poison is this, it is so powerful?

For a moment, the Tatars were a little stunned, and then they couldn't help but feel a little frightened by the accumulation of more and more corpses under the wall of their eyes, and then this cold turned into irrepressible anger, and then they finally withdrew the soldiers who had stormed the wall, vacated the field, and then pushed up the catapults that had been transferred from the rear army.

"Whew-"

With the sound of roars, behind each catapult were a dozen shirtless Tatar men dragging thick ropes, shooting the stones from the catapults and smashing them towards the solid wall.

"Bang bang bang bang

As the big stones fell, all of them bombarded the pass, and the pass wall of the solid pass was immediately smashed into the bricks and falling stones, and the flying stones flew wildly, but Rao is so, such a bombardment, but it is still difficult to effectively shake the pass wall, after all, the city wall is several feet thick, and it is not an ordinary stone that can be smashed through.

And at this time, what made those Tatars depressed was that when they saw them using catapults to attack, all the Ming troops immediately hid like shrunken turtles, and there was no one on the city, but then when they wanted to attack, those Ming troops immediately began to release guns and arrows, and the cannons bombarded one after another, and this time, those Ming troops were even more ferocious, and the iron sand scattered bullets released by the fire guns were actually quenched with poison, which led to the second wave of Tatar attacks, with heavier casualties, but there were no less than a thousand people, Either they died directly under the wall, or they were poisoned on the way to retreat.

But said, why is there also a high poison on the iron sand scattered bombs, this turned out to be the defending generals in the pass, seeing that the lethality of the poisoned arrows is very great, under the inspiration, they directly poured the quenching poison potion distributed to them by Zhu Houzhao on the iron sand used by those fire guns, and then they mixed and mixed the iron sand, and mixed the poison evenly, but it made all the iron sand quenched poison.

So, in this way, the counterattack of the Ming army is more fierce and sharp, not only the poisonous arrows are powerful, the toxicity of the iron sand is even more terrifying, because after the iron sand is sprayed out, it is a piece of flying out, although it is rare to be able to directly kill people, but it is easy to bruise people, and once they scratch people, it is to poison people, so, at this time, those Tatars are really miserable, and they are angry and angry in their hearts, and they are all screaming and waving their knives at the pass, But he no longer dared to gather a large group of men and horses to attack.

The battle lasted until late at night, and the big stones thrown out by the catapult were almost full of passes, but the Tatars still failed to step into the pass, not only that, but also dropped three or four thousand lives under the pass, which made those Tatars can't help but start thinking about it, feeling that such an offensive method is too stupid, so soon, some generals proposed to the little prince of Boyan, let him first surround the solid pass, but not to attack, and then they only need to give full play to the high mobility advantage of the cavalry, Just cross the solid pass and rob the Ming Dynasty people in the rear.

In fact, the little prince of Boyan is not unaware of this, but he is a little hesitant about this suggestion, after all, he came this time, not simply for robbery, he wants to seize the land and city of the Ming Dynasty, you know, at this time in Ningxia, the king of Anhua has rebelled, so if at this time, he can cooperate with him and capture the border town of the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty should no longer be able to confront himself in the future, when the time comes, It's not that you can say whatever you say, where does the Ming Dynasty dare to negotiate conditions with you?

However, what made the little prince of Boyan feel depressed was that the combat effectiveness of the defenders of the Ming Dynasty was so tenacious, and the tactics were so ferocious, so at this time, he did not feel a little hesitant and wavering, and finally he had no choice but to accept the advice of his subordinates, and then he left 5,000 people to trap the defenders of Guguan, and then led a large group of men and horses, bypassing Guguan, and rushed towards Guyuan City in the rear.

However, what those Tatars didn't expect was that after they bypassed Guguan, they rushed all the way forward, originally thinking that they would meet a large group of people of the Ming Dynasty who fled in a hurry, but as a result, what made them feel depressed was that this time, they rushed to the city of Guyuan, but they didn't even see a single person along the way, not only that, they didn't see the people, but they didn't even see a grain of grain, a rag, a cow and sheep, and the Ming Dynasty actually moved all the people in this area in advance. At this time, the houses were already empty, and even some houses were burned down, which was a bit unexpected by those Tatars, which made them unconsciously feel a burst of apprehension in their hearts, feeling that the Ming army generals they faced this time were probably not mortals.

"Have you inquired clearly, who is the commander of the Ming army?"

On a dark moonlit night, the little prince of Boyan squatted on a high-headed horse and asked his men suspiciously.

Hearing his words, the subordinate immediately reported: "Your Highness Qiqi, my subordinates heard that the commander of the Ming army is named Zhu Shou, and he is officially named a mighty general. ”

"Zhu Shou? In the Ming court, when did there become such a number one person? Can you find out what he's really about? Boyan was shocked for a while, frowned and asked.

"This, after many inquiries, the subordinates have inquired in many ways, but they have not been able to find out the origin of this Zhu Shou, even if we have placed it in the Ming Dynasty, we don't know the name of this person," Hearing Boyan's words, the Tatar general couldn't help but reply with embarrassment.

Hearing the words of his subordinates, Boyan was even more suspicious, and then he frowned tightly, and then waved his hand and said: "Order the whole army, give me all the strength to attack Guyuan City, I want to know what kind of person Zhu Shou is, he actually used so many despicable and ruthless means, this person is really dangerous, and he must not stay, otherwise he will inevitably become a big trouble for my clan!"
