After resting for a few days, the army of the Jin Kingdom soon went into battle!

The first battle of Shijingshan was a battle of defeat rather than annihilation. The loss of the Tartars was about four or five thousand people, but it was Huang Taiji who immediately retreated from the battlefield, and if the battle continued, the casualties of the Tartars would definitely double.

This time, Huang Taiji left 20,000 troops in each of the two strategic places of Changping and Huairou, of which Kong Youde's Han army banner accounted for half. Because Kong Youde's soldiers were good at using firearms and artillery, they were much better at defending the city than the Jurchens and Mongols.

It can be seen that Huang Taiji also learned the lesson of the previous loss of Tongzhou, and will not give the Ming army any chance to take advantage of it.

The remaining 100,000 troops were divided into three armies, the front, middle and rear, with the cavalry of the Meng's Eight Banners as the vanguard, the remaining soldiers of the Han Army Banner following closely behind, and the Jurchen Eight Banners were in the rear.

……

The Tartars are out again - the news quickly spreads to the city of Beijing.

All the praises and praises of Emperor Chongzhen disappeared immediately, and the princes of the court began to pretend to be stupid again, and they all stared at it with wide eyes, and they didn't know what the purpose of the Tartars was?

When the Tartar army passed through the city of Beijing without attacking it, and marched straight to the east in the direction of Tongzhou, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. In their consciousness, as long as the Tartars don't fight the city of Beijing, they will fight wherever they like......

The sentinels of the Tuanshan Army naturally received the news early in the morning, so Zhang Zhang also knew the movements of the Tartars for the first time. For the upcoming battle to defend the city, Zhang Zhang has no extra thoughts, only to persevere.

The enemy had 100,000 people, and it was impossible for the cavalry to defend the city, but it was impossible to divide the troops outside the city. Now it is the right thing to do to hold on to the city.

After inspecting the city defense as usual, Zhang Li returned to the meeting hall of the Tongzhou Imperial Palace.

Both Wood and Izawa went up the walls. And Chaolu suppressed law and order in the city, after all, it was Jiannu's urine. It has always been willing to spend huge sums of money to find the "open-door party" to open the door.

The people of Tongzhou were strictly ordered to stay in their homes, and the level of martial law in the city was raised to the highest level, and no one was allowed to go out on the streets. You are not even allowed to go to the street, let alone approach the four gates of the south, east and west.

Zhang Zhang took this martial law as a practice, and in the future, the Tuanshan army defended the city, all referring to the Tongzhou regulations - otherwise, the "open door party" could not be eliminated!

On August 29, the sixth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, the 100,000 troops of the Jin State arrived at the city of Tongzhou.

Although it was dark, Meng Baqi's eyes were red. The siege began immediately.

Although the Mongols were mainly cavalry, the cavalry jumped off their horses and became "infantry", and at this moment more than 10,000 Mongolian infantry and Han soldiers launched the first offensive.

They took advantage of the cover of night and slowly approached the city wall of Tongzhou. Zhang Li looked at the shadowy enemy on the city wall, and couldn't help but frown.

It was not without merit that the enemy chose to attack the city at night, at least it could greatly limit the artillery that the regimental mountain army placed at the head of the city. Not to mention the three-hundred-pound Furlong cannon, at least the Hongyi cannon is basically blind now - either they just fight indiscriminately, or they can only obediently dumb fire.

Zhang Zhang found that the number of enemies in this wave was not particularly large, and it should be a tentative attack. Therefore, the soldiers defending the city of the Tuanshan army were strictly ordered to wait for this tartar to approach the city.

When the two Tartars of Menghan approached the moat of Tongzhou City, they stopped because there was an obstacle set up by the regimental mountain army in the dry riverbed. After adjusting the formation, they raised all the torches!

After all, the black light is blinding. It's okay to sneak up on the city, but if you want to attack it. Lighting is a must.

As soon as the Tartar torches came out, the 300-pound furlong cannon on the city wall immediately spewed out clouds of fire and smoke. The shells of the Tuanshan Army were all flowering shells, not solid shells, and they suddenly blew up the Tartars under the city to the point of crying wolves and running away.

Some Mongolian Tatars had their arms or thighs severed by shrapnel, and they sat on the ground holding their severed limbs and wept bitterly.

Zhang Li is on the front line of defending the city, above the walls of the north city. When he saw that the first round of artillery had fired, he immediately ordered the wooden musketeers to open fire.

"Spread out, line up, five soldiers on one wall!" The wood shouted loudly, "Aim and then fight, don't panic, if you panic, you won't be able to get the shot!" ”

Zhang Li bowed slightly, and looked down at the city, only to see that some Tartars had already crossed the moat and started to arrange the ladder. Zhang Zhang immediately pointed downward: "Hit!" ”

"Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo " A row of fierce firebolts rang out, and countless bullets flew towards the place where the Tartars were concentrated. The Tartars were immediately shot down in a row, and the Tartars behind them turned around and jumped into the dry moat to take refuge. The moat was very deep, there was no water now, and the riverbed was full of obstacles arranged by the regimental mountain army. There were also some pits dug underneath, and the pits were full of sharp wood, and many Tartars jumped down and could not climb again.

The Mongol Tatars shouted and cursed loudly, and their companions brought ropes and bamboo poles to hang them. Naturally, the musketeers of the Tuanshan Army would not let go of such an opportunity, and now that the target was obvious, there was immediately another fierce sound of fire, and the two Tartars fell in a row again......

This first wave of tentative attacks was neatly repelled by the Tuanshan army. Watching the Mongol Tatars retreat like a tide, many reservists of the regimental mountain army cheered and jumped for joy.

Zhang Zhang was very clear-headed, and immediately asked the wood to go down to give the order. The soldiers must not rejoice too soon, this is only a tentative attack by the Tartars, and it is the Mongol Tartars who are besieging the city.

The Mongol Tartars were good at horse warfare, and the siege of the city can be said to be a novice among the novices, there is no discipline at all, and it is not worth any joy to defeat them, and more brutal battles are yet to come.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the two Tartars who were mixed by Meng and Han to rush up again.

I have to admit that there are still a few brushes for the Han army flag to attack the city, which is far stronger than the Mongolian two Tatars. In view of the intermittent pattern of artillery firing of the Tuanshan Army, they seized the gap in the firing of the cannons, and rushed up a group of arquebusiers with a scattered attack. As soon as they came within range, they began to shoot, and hundreds of projectiles whizzed up the city, most of them hitting the bricks and smashing into small craters—but many of them hit the cheeks, heads, and chests of the regimental soldiers.

In return, it was the more fierce projectiles of the Tuanshan Army Musket Corps. Because in the face of the scattered Han Army Banner Ertars, the effect of the artillery was not good, and the shells were just wasted.

In the fierce firecracker shooting, the Tuanshan army still took advantage of it. One of the soldiers had a wall battlement as cover, and the other was that the rate of fire of the self-generated firearm was higher than that of the arquebus of the Han Eight Banners. But in any case, there were also casualties among the mountain troops in the city. A large number of auxiliaries and military doctors rushed to transport the wounded on the city walls, and carried the wounded to the city on stretchers for treatment. (To be continued.) )
