Gu'an City, which was displayed in front of the Mongolian army, was a small city with a square of 60 zhang, and the "zhang" here was not the Huaxia "zhang" that was equal to 100 Huaxia "zhang" in the new Huaxia system, but the Ming "zhang" which was equal to the 10 industrial rulers, so the area was even inferior to some larger towns in the south. However, it is a county town, with a city wall that is almost three "zhang" high, and even the periphery of the city wall is covered with bricks. It's just that there has been no war in North China for nearly a hundred years, not to mention that the outer wall bricks have fallen off, and small trees have grown on the road at the top of the city wall, just because of the temporary renovation before the Xia army.

However, with the siege level and equipment of the Mongols, before the artillery team of the outer firearms battalion arrived, I was afraid that one or two thousand people might not be able to capture Gu'an, so the eyes of the Manchurian and Mongolian high-level people were more focused on the newly built small stone outside the south gate of Gu'an City.

It is said to be a small hill, and the area is naturally not large, only half of Gu'an City, about 20 acres. And because of the rush to work, the outer wall is only less than two zhang, and there are no horse faces, enemy buildings or anything, and even the female wall cannot be seen.

What made the Manmeng nobles even more excited was that Xiaoqi was one or two miles away from Gu'an City, although the Xia army in Gu'an even filled a section of the moat in order to facilitate the reinforcement, but in the Qing army, it seemed that as long as enough cavalry was sent to block it, it would be difficult for the Xia army brigade in Gu'an City to rescue the Xiaoqi defenders in time.

The only thing that worried the Manmeng nobles was that Xiao Qi's garrison firepower seemed to be not bad, and through the clairvoyant mirror in his hand, these princes and Baylors had no less than twenty or thirty artillery pieces on the four walls.

There is nothing to say, no matter how strong Xiaoqi's firepower is, it will be fought, and it must be fought so hard that the Xia army in Gu'an City does not dare to fight in the decisive battle between the two sides, and it comes out from behind to threaten the flank of the Mongol army. So, with an order, groups of Mongolian cavalry left the camp, if it weren't for more Mongolian soldiers watching from afar, people who didn't know would have thought that the Mongolian army was going to withdraw.

After waiting for a while, the Mongolian cavalry who had been far away came back, but there was a big bulging bag behind them, and it turned out that they were taking soil, which was the old way of the Mongols to attack the city, and piled up the earth into a mountain. As long as the earth is piled up all the way to the height of the outer wall of the small hill, more Mongolian riders will go straight down the hill to the head.

Since the Mongols had a large number of 60,000 troops and were greatly wealthy, the action was carried out from the east, south, and west, which means that the Mongols acted almost simultaneously except in the direction of the Gu'an gate.

Thousands of horses' hooves ran, rumbling like an earthquake. As if to understand the meaning of the Mongol charge, the Xiaoqi defenders opened fire one after another in just a few breaths, trying to block the formation of the siege mounds with dense artillery fire.

The deafening sound of artillery made the horses of the Mongol army watching the battle from a distance appear to stir slightly, but the Mongols who were born on horseback and grew on horseback were the best drivers, and they controlled the horses that sat down in minutes, and even the charging horse team did not waste much time, and continued to rush straight to Xiaoqi like arrows from the string.

Of course, casualties inevitably occurred among the charging Mongol horses. No, a cannonball flew by, leaving a body on the ground that was broken in half, only to feel that the lightly loaded war horse did not know what was born, and continued to carry the owner's body towards the set goal.

There are also cannonballs that did not hit people, but magically bounced on the ground, directly smashed the head of the war horse, and the war horse that fell suddenly coincidentally crushed the knight under him, and the weight of several hundred catties instantly caused the horse owner to fracture everywhere.

These were still appetizers, and as the Mongol horse team approached, the Xia artillerymen began to shoot shotguns. Projectiles rained down in the air, sending more Mongols to the Yellow Springs point of no return.

Of course, the death of their companions frightened a group of Mongols, and they subconsciously slowed down their horses, but more of them, the Mongols who had been blessed by the accompanying lamas before the battle continued to charge fearlessly against the artillery fire of the Xia army, perhaps they really believed that if the Qing Emperor died in battle for the incarnation of Amitabha, their souls would be able to go to the Western Elysium.

The Mongols got closer, and the Xia army's artillery began to slow down because of the need to dissipate heat. But before the Mongols who were about to rush to the bottom of the wall had time to rejoice, the Xia army's platoon smashed down with their heads and faces??????

But there were still Mongols who completed their mission and left behind the dirt bags. What's even more disadvantageous is that the human corpses and horse corpses that fell on the edge of the wall also invisibly provide more convenience for the opponent.

The first wave of Mongol soldiers retreated, and the second wave rushed up again, and the sound of guns and cannons once again resounded through the heavens and the earth.

"That's good, our walls were not very strong, but now the Mongols have thickened them, and now they are as stable as Mount Tai." In between the battles, the Xia Army veterans said witticisms about self-decompression, but as the dirt and mountains piled higher and higher, everyone's faces were difficult to see. "Obediently, the Mongols are not only dead or what, there are always thousands of them, why is there no end to it."

The pressure on the Xiaoqi defenders is getting bigger and bigger, but the faces of the nobles who are watching the battle are also covered with thick frost.

"You can't fight like this anymore, nearly two thousand warriors have died for the mound." A Taiji with a broken hand rushed to the most honorable group of people and admonished bitterly. "The men of several flags have been wiped out, how will they explain to their masters when they go back, and how will their wives and children survive this winter."

Mar, the king of Doroan, replied with a stiff face: "What are you afraid of when you die, the court will have grace." ā€

Saying that, Marhun ordered: "Come on, drag this person away, and if you shout again, you will be dealt with to shake the morale of the army." ā€

Marhun didn't say the word "no mercy" in public, which was already very face-saving for the Mongolian princes, so no matter how unwilling the faces of the Mongols present were, he still coldly ordered: "Keep piling up, it's almost to the top of the wall, and you can't fall short at this time." ā€

The battle continued for a while, and the mountains of earth in the west were piled up on top of the wall, then to the south, and finally to the east. With the completion of the earth mountain, the Mongols retreated all at once, and the battlefield suddenly calmed down, but everyone knew that this was only a temporary calm, and even greater battles would continue??????

"Prince Jian, King Anjun, is about to attack, should you send someone to block the north and prepare the Xia army in Gu'an City to rush out to rescue." Korqin Doro Bingtu County Wang Dada Bujian yƬ road. "You can also stop the people in the barrizzle from escaping."

The prince of Jane, Yaerjianga and Marhun, pondered for a while and felt that there was some reason, so they sent Tumut Dorodar Han Belma, Karaqin Zhenguo Shan Balaxi, Karaqin Duoluo Duleng County King, and Elu Gar Zang each led their headquarters with a total of 3,000 people to insert themselves into the city, in order to prevent Gu'an from sending troops to support and prevent the Xiaoqi garrison from escaping into Gu'an.

The three divisions were sent out, and they were also interspersed in place, and Yarjianga and Marhun were about to give the order for a big attack, when suddenly they heard the thunder of artillery in the direction of Gu'an. A few people thought that the Xia army in Gu'an City had attacked, and hurriedly took out a clairvoyant mirror to watch, but now countless cannonballs were shot from the head of Gu'an City and the north gate of Xiaoqi, turning into a fire net to cage the three Mongolian soldiers in the period. The Mongolian soldiers who were ready to send reinforcements were caught off guard, and for a while, countless men and horses pushed me under artillery fire, but they couldn't escape, and they could only fall unwillingly in a pool of blood. Only those who dared to swing their swords at their own people ran out at the first time, and the rest barely broke away from the Xia army's artillery firing range from both sides after paying an extremely heavy price.

"It's a pity that this hand can only be played once." Xue hid the eleven-minute cannon with a long range, and Tao Yue, who ordered Xiao Yan to use only the eight-minute cannon to confuse the opponent, sighed a little dissatisfied. "Otherwise, it's all food delivery." After sighing, Tao Yue looked at the place where his subordinates were fighting. "Next, it's up to you."

Tao Yue's sigh was unheard of by the Manchurian nobles, but the casualties of nearly 1,000 people in the three ministries and the death of the two Mongolian princes still made the heads of the princes begin to be congested.

The king of Weng Niu Tedoluo Duleng and the king of Heshuo Forehead Cangjin roared loudly: "Kill, kill all these despicable Han people, and avenge the Manna Belle!" Avenge the king of Garzang County! Avenge the Mongol warriors! ā€

Weng Niut Dorodar Han Dai Qing Beile Erte Buzir also waved his fist and said: "Yes, the chickens and dogs will not be left!" ā€

Looking at the excited Mongolian princes, the corners of Yarjiang'a and Marhun's mouths showed a trace of unnoticed smiles.

Therefore, Yarjianga ordered: "The whole army will attack, take Xiaoqi, kill all the Han people, and avenge the two princes!" ā€

The rumbling hooves sounded again, and the murderous Mongol cavalry pressed towards Xiao Yan with swords and bows, this time, they wanted to sacrifice with the blood of the defenders, and they would not give up until they did their best.

In the face of the opponent with boiling killing intent, the defenders showed extreme calmness, and some people may be frightened, but the Xia army knew the fate of selling their backs to the opponent from the first day of enlistment, so even if their hands and feet began to tremble and their movements began to deform, no one immediately took their posts.

One hundred steps, the Xia army did not open the artillery, fifty steps, the Xia army has not fired the artillery, they are almost on the dirt mountain, and the Xia army has not fired the artillery.

What's going on? Did Xia Jun give up resistance? With some uneasiness, the Mongol soldiers set foot on the dirt mountain.

In an instant, the heavens and the earth reopened, and the Xia army's firepower was in full swing, and countless fires flowed towards the Mongolian army that was almost close at hand.

Due to the siege of the city, the Mongol army appeared to be very tightly formed, and this time it suffered a great loss, countless people were knocked off horseback, tumbling and falling under the earth city, and some of them became an obstacle to their own attack. Of course, the Xia army also suffered casualties, although they only held a cavalry bow in their hands, but the Mongol archers also caused casualties in the Xia army area at a very close distance.

"White Soldiers." Tuan Qian always roared bravely. "Go to the wall!"

The soldiers of the White Corps, dressed in thick armor and holding large swords, suddenly agreed, stood up in unison, like an active steel forest, and resolutely counterattacked the Mongolian soldiers who rushed up??????
