readx;

The carts were all horses captured on the battlefield yesterday...... The charioteer and the chariot soldiers were the most courageous warriors in the Ming army. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

When the cart reached the side of the trench, there was no need to dump it, and the soldiers got out of the cart and gave the horses a knife, and the horses that were in pain would run into the trench, so that the prisoners had already filled in a lot of debris and stuffed it, and the carts and horses full of goods filled it down, so that the trench could be filled up faster.

Although the soldiers of the past were ready to die, the only wounded soldier was touched by a wounded horse, and the defenders at the head of the city had no more to attack.

The trench was gradually filled, except for the dozen or so heavy guns, the rest of the artillery that could be pushed by manpower were pushed forward, the horse team was divided into two columns, and the infantry of Jizhen had two battalions, which were placed on the left and right to protect the two wings of the army.

The two regiments of the Huwei Army were directly in front of the entire infantry queue, and the rest of the battalions were small in turn, just like that day's preaching, Wang Tong was between the infantry brigade and the artillery array, and the soldiers lined up in order according to a certain distance to convey Wang Tong's speech.

"In front is the city of Guihua, where the chieftains of the shoe captives relied on plundering the property and people of our Ming Dynasty. The city built, think about how many Ming people and how many border soldiers of the Ming Dynasty have been killed by the Tartars of the Alta Department over the years, and think about what kind of disasters and disasters the captives have brought to the north of the Ming Dynasty for so many years!! ā€

Wang Tong was on the horse, waving his arms and pointing directly at the naturalized city, the cannon rumbled, as if it was the thunder to accompany Wang Tong's preaching, but the soldiers were quiet, all listening attentively to Wang Tong's preaching, Wang Tong shouted loudly: "You are either in Jizhen, or in Datong, your brothers and sisters, your parents, wives and children, the people around you, have you been killed by the captives, have any of your relatives died in battle with the captives, your ancestors, fathers and captives have fought to the death all their lives, do you still want your sons to ...... Is that also the case? ā€

Wang Tong said this, the queue of the soldiers has been a little commotion, even Wang Tong's Huwei army is mainly the children of military families, and they also live in the north of the Ming Dynasty, and they have also experienced the suffering of shoe captives, and some people have died in these tribulations, not to mention Datong Town and Ji Town, which are entangled with the life and death of shoe captives for decades and hundreds of years, think about what happened to yourself and your predecessors, and then think about how you actually hit the heart of the Tatars, that is, where the capital of the shoe captives is located, this feeling is really incomparable.

Wang Tong's voice was raised sharply, and he roared there: "For the sake of the Ming Dynasty, for the sake of Your Majesty, for yourself, for your children and grandchildren, attack it, kill all the enemies who stand in front of you, and trample the capital of the shoe captives under your feet!" ā€

The scene was a little quiet, the soldiers suddenly burst out and roared, everyone was shouting and shouting, Wang Tong's words were not literary, but they were not those words commonly used in the army, but they sounded enthusiastic, some people started to rise, and soon, the shouting became a gathering wave.

"For the sake of Daming, for Your Majesty, for the sake of your family!! ……

Wang Tong raised his hand high on the horse, the snare drums of Jizhen and Huwei Army were all gathered together, seeing this gesture, they immediately beat Dong Dongdong, the rhythmic drum beat louder and louder, suppressing the same high roar, Wang Tong's arm flattened, the drum stopped, and the scene suddenly quieted down.

Wang Tong turned over and dismounted, took an axe and spear, slashed forward, and shouted loudly: "Siege !! ā€

The pro-soldiers shouted in unison, and the soldiers who followed the rear team also shouted, "Siege!!" "Siege!!" "Siege!!" The sound came and went, and the group moved towards the gap.

The so-called siege is often an attack on the city defense offensive, and the actions of Wang Tong and the army, now it is more appropriate to say that they entered the city.

Wang Tong walked in the front surrounded by the guards, each of them was wearing guard plate armor, and the visor on the helmet was also covered, and the guards were walking on both sides with large shields, guarding against possible sneak attacks.

The artillerymen shouted to move the artillery away from the path of the marching army, and the rest of the artillery was still firing, suppressing the enemy in this direction, in fact, the enemy on the wall had no resistance, and whether the resistance behind the wall was maintained or not, no one was sure, but stability came first.

As for the artillery pieces on the head of the city, they had long been beaten in the attack under the city, and the people who walked in the front were Wang Tong and his guards, and behind them were the first and second regiments of the Huwei Army, and the soldiers of the Huwei Army with the most complete armor protection and the most well-trained soldiers fought this forward, and no one had any objections.

At the back of the team, there were the soldiers of Jizhen who followed Yuguan, and the horse team and the foot soldiers in charge of the two wings were still there to protect the two wings, but at this time, no cavalry appeared from the direction of the two sides.

The distance of more than 200 steps was not far, and Wang Tong quickly stepped on the slope, and several guards holding large boats immediately rushed to Wang Tong's body and connected them with shields.

Han Gang, Qi Wu and the others all took out their weapons, and behind Wang Tong, there were more than a dozen guards holding fires, and they were already in a state of shooting at any time.

The commander should not have taken such a risk in person, but when he was in the enemy territory and attacked the capital, although the soldiers were excited, they were also apprehensive, and the commander must take the lead at this time.

The bombardment of the heavy artillery was powerful, and the part of the city wall collapsed inwards even more, and a slope was actually formed inside and outside the city, with the outside going up and the inside going down.

When Wang Tong and others showed their heads at the gap, they could see that there were many buildings that were also broken and wolf-like at the gap, and Wang Tong and others appeared on the gap, and from behind those buildings, the soldiers who rushed up appeared.

I didn't expect such a strong city to be breached so quickly, I didn't expect the artillery of the Ming army to be so powerful, and the shoe captives concentrated enough defenders in this direction, but not enough.

Under the thunderous bombardment of artillery, there were heavy casualties, and after the city collapsed, it was embarrassed by the artillery that came in through the mouth and the shells that fell over the city, and they did not expect the soldiers of the Ming army to rush in so quickly.

The defenders behind the gap were looking for a place to hide from the artillery bombardment, using their companions and their own lives to determine how far the shell could hit, or how powerful it was.

When they saw the armored Ming infantry soldiers showing their heads, they knew that the artillery bombardment had come to an end, and even the most confused defending generals knew how to place reserves in this gap, and they also knew that they should use reserves to beat the enemy back at this time.

Some people stood still and prepared to shoot arrows, others rushed up with swords and spears, Wang Tong's personal guards put the big shield on the slope, and the personal guards holding the fire commander used the shield as a bracket and immediately opened fire.

A salvo of more than a dozen fires, and immediately the shoe soldiers who rushed to the front retreated a few steps, and then the archers began to shoot arrows, Wang Tong took the axe and said loudly: "Go down, go down, we will get out of the way!" ā€

The fire commander and the bow and arrow beat the impact momentum of the shoe captives soldiers slightly, and the soldiers with big shields in front of them directly held their shields and rushed down, and Wang Tong and his people waved their weapons to follow.

The shoe soldiers in the city were indeed stunned by the artillery, and the Ming army entered so quickly that they were also caught off guard, and they didn't expect that these Ming troops who came in could also give them such a clever attack, a little hesitation, the Ming army forward holding a big shield had already collided, and there were spikes in the front of the shield, and the shoe soldiers who couldn't dodge were stabbed into the body by this spike, and some people hurriedly dodged backwards, making the whole formation chaotic.

But the big shield of the Ming army did not advance a few steps, and the number of captives immediately used shields and other weapons to push back, these armored Ming soldiers did not cling to the shield, feeling that they could not move forward, they immediately dropped the shield and retreated, they retreated, but the whole queue went forward.

Wang Tong and the people around him have already wheeled axes, spears and spears, or chopping or stabbing and attacking, Wang Tong and the guards around him are wearing the most sophisticated armor of the Huwei Army, and the weapons they are holding are also selected, and their training and combat skills are even better, but they are not comparable to these ordinary shoe soldiers.

The axe gun in Wang Tong's hand broke through the opponent's leather hat without hindrance, knocked the enemy's head, Wang Tong's arm pulled back, and swung left and right, and the axe blade directly cut the neck of a shoe captive on the side.

Han Gang, Qi Wu and Li Biao and others were all holding spears, and the spears kept stabbing forward, as if they were poisonous snakes spitting letters, and every time they stabbed out, someone screamed and fell, and Zhen Dahu and Zhen Erhu and Bao Erxiao were holding bows and arrows, at this distance, each arrow could take the life of an enemy.

What is a little different is Sha Dongning, he uses a Pu knife that seems to have an extended handle, but the thick blade and blade of the Pu knife are very narrow and thin, but every swing of Sha Dongning is either slashing or assassinating, and the efficiency is not low.

Not to mention the spearmen who formed a formation in the back, as well as the fire commanders who were nervously loaded, Wang Tong's personal guards were also trained according to the drills of the Huwei Army, and everything was unambiguous.

I thought that I could beat this Ming army squad back, but I didn't expect this Ming army squad to be so strong and elite, and in just a few moments, they actually broke through dozens of steps.

"Change the long weapons, let the horse team rush them!!"

The shoe captives also saw that something was wrong, and the counterattack that was not easy was actually possible to be defeated by this small team that rushed in first, and the situation was about to be out of control.

However, Wang Tong and his guards rushed for dozens of steps and then quickly retreated, making the target soldier Ding who was preparing to move forward stunned, and the white-knuckle battle between Wang Tong and Qi captured lasted for a short time. They sped down the slope and flashed to the other side of the wall.

The sound of the fire commander is loud, and the battle is taken over by the fire commanders who poured into the city!!
