"Well, Yang Zhao is worthy of being a veteran on the battlefield, old and strong, and he doesn't leak. If this attack continues, there will definitely be a lot of casualties among our Mongolian warriors."

Looking at a large number of Mongolian iron cavalry and infantry, under the dense fire of the Ming army, the beaten man turned on his horse, and I said thoughtfully with his beard.

However, although I replied that although this name said, there was no intention of recalling Su Butai and personally commanding it. If Subutai can't win this time, I will have to consider whether it is time to demote him to a slave.

Subutai here also discovered that the firearms of the Ming army were powerful at this time, and they fought with the Ming army before, and the Ming army was mixed with firearms and cold weapons to cover the battle. And it was the first time that a person like Yang Zhao had concentrated all firearms at the beginning and launched an attack with a single firearm on a large scale.

"Damn, these Ming Dynasty barbarians are really cunning and use such despicable means to consume Genghis Khan's warriors. This general wants to see how you weak barbarians can defeat Genghis Khan's warriors! After observing for a while, the corner of Su Butai's mouth became a sneer, and Sen Ran said.

No, the Mongolian soldiers who were crazy like ants just now, attacking the military village one after another, changed their tactics:

A large number of cavalry in a team of fifty people ran around the military village, and at the same time constantly mounted arrows and threw aimlessly.

There were also a large number of Mongol marksmen, armed with long-range and more powerful bows and arrows, mixed in with these cavalry. Their eyes were as sharp as eagles, staring at every move of the Ming army on the city wall. As soon as a soldier or general shows the slightest flaw, they will quickly fire a fatal blow!

This move is quite powerful, the Ming army's guns and artillery can not be released at too close distance, and the cavalry in the distance moves quickly, and there are a large number of archers harassing, the Ming army does not have Li Rusong in the dangerous mountain defense battle, a large number of simple protective fortifications.

Because a large number of soldiers died under the enemy's arrows, several furious shots had little effect, not to mention killing a few Mongols, but because of the rash appearance of their own side, the enemy's marksmen caught the opportunity, either dead or wounded.

"Boom, I'll see what you do!" At this time, Subutai also issued a new order, and I saw him wave his hand:

More than 3,000 ragged, yellow-skinned slaves were pushed forward by numerous Mongol soldiers armed with scimitars, all carrying cloth bags full of earth and stones. There were also some of the stronger men, in groups of fifteen, carrying a thick battering ram with a sharp tip sharpened into a cone.

"Listen, everyone, as long as you break through the undead in the military fortress, get out of slavery, and reward a woman! Those who retreat, those who cower, and those who do not contribute will be killed! Triumphantly swept over the trembling and panicked slaves, and shouted loudly.

There was a glint in the eyes of all the slaves, most of whom were people from other Mongol tribes, whose tribe had been defeated in the battle and then taken captive and reduced to slavery.

As a result, they have completely lost their dignity, property, and even their wives and children, and they are extremely nostalgic for the good life of the past, and they are always eager to take back everything that belongs to them!

Spurred on by Subutai's promise to restore their former status, the slaves, regardless of gender, old and young, all erupted into a wolf-like roar.

There was no need for Su Butai to give orders, these people were barefoot, frantically spreading their legs, carrying the earth and stones on their shoulders, carrying heavy battering rams, and frantically rushing towards the Ming army camp.

Yang Zhao's military fortress also had two trenches outside the city walls, which were used to block the close harassment of the Mongol cavalry. At the same time, these two trenches were also the best position for the Ming artillery to attack the Mongols, and many Mongols had slowed down in the process of crossing the trenches and were hit by the Ming army's artillery fire.

The first group of people rushed to the ditch with blood-red eyes, and with a flick of his hand, he threw the sack full of earth and stones into the ditch. Then they immediately lowered their bodies and ran with their heads turned around and crawled.

"Oops! All artillery, don't save any more cannons, hit me hard! Yang Zhao, who had been closely observing the battle situation, hurriedly ordered the artillery to concentrate on firing at this time.

At this time, the archers of the Mongols had completely suppressed the Ming army's musket troops, and the only thing they could count on was artillery. It is a pity that the artillery is not full of shells, and it is estimated that after this round of blows, it will be completely consumed.

However, Yang Zhao couldn't care about that anymore, because he saw that a large number of Mongol slaves directly used battering rams as bridges, and the five battering rams were built on the trenches, so he built a simple bridge for cavalry to cross.

"If these Tartars are laid with planks on them, and the cavalry is killed under the fortress, our army will have no power to fight back," thought all the officers, and quickly ordered the artillery units to use up all the shells and aim at the Mongols who were carrying battering rams.

"Boom! Rumble! With the roar of artillery, a large number of shells rained down on the heads of these slaves, who carried earth and stones and carried battering rams, who had no ability to defend themselves and flew as flesh and blood to be beaten.

The bodies of a few slaves, as if suddenly smashed by a sledgehammer, flew up into the air softly, staring blankly at everything in front of them; Some were concentrated in the front of the shells and exploded into a bloody pulp on the spot; Others were directly concentrated by the shock wave generated by the fall of the shell, and the bones and internal organs of the whole body were shattered, and their heads fell directly into the trench, where they were pierced by the antlers and sharp stakes in the trench......

However, the artillery fire of the Ming army could only effectively hit these slaves who were used as cannon fodder by the Mongols, while the elite Mongolian iron cavalry was almost unscathed. Not only that, but they used this opportunity to force their way through the first trench and threaten the defenders on the city walls at close range.

"Brother, you take the chariot battalion out of the city and set up defenses under the city wall, and you can't let this group of guys pass through the second trench!" Yang Zhao's face tightened, and he hurriedly called Yang Yuntong and said.

The number of these Mongol cavalry was not large, only two or three hundred, but after these people passed through the first trench, they could shoot the Ming army with arrows at close range and more accurately. And because the Ming army was suppressed by the bows and arrows of a large number of Mongolian iron cavalry on the periphery, it was almost impossible to poke out its head and fight back with firecrackers and bows and arrows.

In this way, as long as the Ming army ran out of artillery shells, with the support of two or three hundred men, the Mongol iron cavalry would continue to pour in, and soon break through the second and only trench. At that time, the Liaodong Army was finished.

"Brother, you see, Deputy General Li left me a lot of 'grenades' when he left, and I tried it better than firecrackers. You can rest assured that you will command inside" Giving his brother a reassuring look, Yang Yuntong took more than 2,000 guards and drove hundreds of carts out of the barracks.

Before the Mongolian iron cavalry outside could come over, Yang Yuntong's troops immediately centered on him and drove the cart into a huge round ball. A large number of soldiers hid behind the carts, and as soon as the Mongols dared to come, they immediately greeted them with firearms and bows and arrows.

At the same time, when Yang Yuntong took a group of strong arms, he used the slingshot given by the dangerous mountain army to shoot out the "grenades" that ignited the fuses. All of them fell in the middle of the Mongol iron horsemen who were wandering around the perimeter of the first trench, and the latter was immediately in a panic and turned on his back.

"It's really good, it's just too little. If we had listened to Brother Li's advice and trained more car battalions, our army would have won today's battle! Looking at all this, Yang Yuntong couldn't help but think of Li Rusong's advice before, and said to himself.

After all, the number of Yang Yuntong's chariot battalions was still too small, and he could only defend against a city wall, and more Mongolian iron cavalry bypassed here and began to attack the weaker defenses. The entire Liaodong Army is crumbling, and it looks like it is about to collapse completely!
