Shamelessly ask for recommendations, collections, and rewards

Gule Village:

"General Qiyu, Atai's troops have surrounded the stockade, and the wave of messengers sent out just now have all been killed. Do you want to continue sending messengers tonight? A soldier ran up to Zhang Jie, clasped his fists and saluted.

"Well, that's it, order all the soldiers to prepare for battle" Expressionlessly waved his hand, ordering the adjutant general on the side to go down to give orders, Zhang Jie sat motionless on the chair with his eyes slightly closed.

On the surface, Zhang Jie is calm and calm, as if everything is under control, but in fact, his heart is extremely nervous at this time, and he is supported by ruthlessness and the interests of the family.

At present, there are more than 3,000 infantry and more than 500 cavalry in Gulezhai, which is not at all the opponent of Atai, who has more than 3,000 iron cavalry. Moreover, Li Rusong swept the Jurchen tribes in Liaodong before, which made many people think that the Jurchens in Liaodong were no longer troublesome, causing an embarrassing situation of insufficient defense and lack of firearms in Gule Village.

Zhang Jie knew very well in his heart that if there were no reinforcements for three days at most, Gule Village would be lost, and what was waiting for him would either be killed on the battlefield, or he would be abandoned by his family because of his ineffective work, and he would become a poor man who would die for the rest of his life.

Outside the city:

Thousands of Jurchen cavalry, dressed in rags and armed with rudimentary bows and arrows, except for the Jurchen cavalry riding horses under their hips, lined up in a chaotic formation, surrounded the Gulzhai and waited for Atai to give the order to attack.

Relying on the support of Youtumen Khan and Dong Fox, after returning to his hometown in Liaodong, Atai frantically expanded his strength, and in a short period of time, he used the rich wealth and grain in his hands to gather thousands of young people. These people have been rolling on horseback since they were children, or fighting with fierce beasts in the deep mountains and old forests, and they have all developed good skills and are natural soldiers.

In front of this group of wolf-like Jurchens, the Ming army in Gulezhai did not have enough firearms, and they were simply vulnerable. If Zhang Jie hadn't ordered the whole army to defend the village from the beginning, I'm afraid that Gule Village would have already become a hell on earth.

Rao is like this, in the past few days, Atai has concentrated tens of thousands of slaves and the people of the Ming Dynasty to frantically attack Gule Village, which has also caused great casualties to the defenders. Almost everyone thought that if no more reinforcements came, they would surely die!

"Truly, the barbarians of the Ming Dynasty are really vulnerable, how can they be the opponents of Ah Gu's descendants, today my scimitar is going to drink your blood" Looking at the "elite soldiers" under his command, Atai was very proud.

In Atai's view, these outlaws and the subordinates who were entrapped by him will surely regain the glory of his father Wang Gao. And Gulezhai will become the starting point to witness his glory, and he will step by step towards the road of the lord of the Jurchens in Liaodong.

"Enlightenment, Chief! Fifty miles to the south, a cavalry unit of the Ming army rushed to see that their banner was the Liaodong Iron Cavalry of the King of Yama in the Dangerous Mountains! Just when Atai was full of ambition and was about to give the order to attack the city, a sentry rode up to Atai and said anxiously.

The voice of the sentry was full of unconcealable fear, some of them were Wang Gao's old subordinates, some were generals who were coerced by Atai to slaughter the tribe through violent means, and some were outlaws among the wandering Jurchens in Liaodong who took refuge in Atai in order to have something to eat. They all have a common characteristic: they were once defeated by the hands of the Liaodong Iron Cavalry, and they were extremely afraid of the Liaodong Iron Cavalry in their hearts!

You must know that before Li Rusong was born, the Jurchens were the uncrowned kings of Liaodong, regardless of whether they encountered a famine year or not, their favorite thing to do was dozens or hundreds of people, who went in groups to loot the Ming Dynasty's tunbao.

In their eyes, even if the Ming Dynasty had tens of thousands of troops in Liaodong, so what? These armies were nothing more than a flock of sheep with nothing to show for themselves, and as long as they concentrated thousands of iron horsemen, they could easily defeat the Ming army. Except for a few Ming generals who dared to fight back, most of them were locked in the city and did not come out, watching the Jurchens burn and loot unscrupulously. Once the Jurchens naively thought that they could get everything they wanted by relying on horses, scimitars, bows and arrows. Until Li Rusong and the Liaodong Iron Cavalry under his command appeared:

This cavalry in black armor appeared in Liaodong like a grim reaper, and as soon as it appeared, it defeated the three coalition armies of Wang Gao, Meng Gelu, and Qing Jiatong. These Ming troops did not have the cowardice and timidity of the Ming army in the past, and after going to the battlefield, they were like madmen, killing people when they saw them, and the weapons and armor they used were extremely advanced, and the bows and arrows and scimitars that the Jurchens were proud of were almost useless.

After that, it was the beginning of all the Jurchen nightmares, as long as there was a battlefield where the Liaodong Iron Cavalry appeared, the Jurchens would undoubtedly be defeated. In just over ten years, countless Jurchen elite soldiers died at the hands of this cavalry, and with their own blood and lives, they forged the undefeated prestige of this cavalry.

With Wang Gao and Meng Gelu being captured and killed by Li Rusong, Qing Jiatong left the northeastern part of Liaodong, and the entire Liaodong Jurchens almost collapsed, and in their eyes, the Liaodong Iron Cavalry was the god of death! They simply simply did not have the courage to fight it head-on.

"What are you afraid of! We have the help of the invincible Mongol Tumen Khan, and the armor and weapons on your body are used by the invincible Mongol iron horsemen, who have defeated the Ming barbarians countless times! As the descendants of Wanyan Aguta, are we afraid of a few thousand barbarians of the Ming Dynasty? Follow Ben Khan, kill him without leaving a piece of armor, and tell these Ming Dynasty barbarians: Who is the real king of Liaodong! Seeing that the surrounding subordinates heard that the Liaodong Iron Cavalry was coming, they were frightened one by one, and Atai hurriedly shouted loudly to boost the morale of his subordinates.

"Warriors! Today is our best opportunity to wash away the shame with the blood of the barbarians of the Ming Dynasty! Do you still want to continue to live the life of groveling to the Han people of the Ming Dynasty like in the past, and living a life that is inferior to pigs and dogs?! Do you still want to run around all day like you used to, just to avoid the Liaodong Iron Cavalry? The enemy is only a few thousand men, and we have 30,000 of them, take up your weapons, follow Ben Khan, and go and kill them without a single piece of armor! Desperately agitating his subordinates, Atai ordered to turn his head and face the Liaodong Iron Cavalry.

There was only the Ming army in Gule Village, and Atai didn't even have a basic defensive force, in his eyes, it was just a group of cowards. As long as he defeats the reinforcements of the Ming army, Gulezhai will be defeated without a fight.

"Kill all the reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty barbarians, Ben Khan allows you to burn, kill and loot in Gule Village, and enjoy yourself for three days!" After saying that, Atai threw out an even bigger reward, which almost instantly made the morale of all the soldiers unprecedentedly high.

"Kill all the barbarians of the Ming Dynasty!" Almost all the soldiers, including those Jurchen slaves, raised their weapons and waved desperately and roared, and the high-morale follower Atai prepared to meet the Ming army.

At this moment, there was a rumbling sound not far away, and a voice like thunder in the Nine Heavens suddenly resounded throughout the earth:

"My Liaodong Iron Horse is invincible!"

Under the stunned gaze of all the Jurchens, on the horizon in the distance, a cavalry unit with black armor suddenly appeared. These people were like evil ghosts coming out of the underworld, shouting slogans and staring at the Jurchen army, like hunters looking at their prey, quickly approaching.

"All the troops are attacking!" Seeing this scene, Atai was so frightened that his whole body trembled, and he hurriedly roared and ordered his subordinates to fight.

"Kill!"

"Fight with the barbarians of the Ming Dynasty"

"Kill all these Ming Dynasty sheep!"

Seeing that they couldn't run, the soldiers under Atai's command had no choice but to rush forward with a roar, and they pounced on the Liaodong Iron Cavalry like a pack of hungry wolves in a disorderly manner, fantasizing that they could defeat each other and live a good life of burning, killing and looting again.

"A bunch of garbage! has been beaten by Lao Tzu for so many years, or does he remember to eat or not, and he still dares to fight with Lao Tzu? Wait for your death! Seeing the chaotic formation of the Jurchens, Li Ning laughed wildly and rushed forward.

The three thousand Liaodong Iron Knights, with a flash of contempt in their eyes, quickly put out a long snake formation and pounced on the Jurchens who were killed.

"Bang! Bang! Before the Jurchens could bend their bows and arrows, the Liaodong Iron Knights raised their flintlock firearms in their hands and fired at the Jurchens' ranks, who could not make any resistance at all, and fell off their horses with a large number of screams and were trampled into pulp by their companions behind.

"Kill!" After a round of shooting, Li Ning shouted, and the Liaodong Iron Cavalry quickly changed formation, put the flintlock fire gun away, and pulled out the thick-backed machete behind his back. The three thousand men formed an arrow-like formation and collided viciously with the Jurchen cavalry.

"Ahh With only one face, the Liaodong Iron Cavalry was like an incomparably sharp knife, cutting the Jurchen soldiers under Atai's command in half like cutting meat. The three thousand iron horsemen unstoppably split it into two, and then the three thousand iron horsemen turned around and killed again, and countless Jurchens fell from their horses screaming everywhere they went, and were killed on the spot without any power to fight back.

"Kill!" Zhang Dingbian let out a tiger roar, chopped it down, and cut the scimitar of a Jurchen cavalryman wearing animal skins in front of him in half, and the huge machete castrated unabated, directly splitting it in half from the head to the crotch.

"Haha Dog Tartar is coming! Letting the enemy's blood gush and spray his whole body, Zhang Dingbian returned to the team with a wild smile, and followed the main force to continue to cut the Jurchens' men and horses again and again.
