The two sides began to attack the city from Batu, and then they continued to fight, and the whole day of fierce fighting, the corpses under the city of Tongliao Fort were like mountains, and the blood flowed like rivers, and as the night fell, they had to retreat with their troops.
During the day, the fierce fighting lasted for a day, and the Mongols lost more than 8,000 dead and more than 5,000 wounded, and there were only 7,000 soldiers left in their hands.
On the side of the Dangerous Mountain Army, more than 500 people were killed and more than 1,600 were wounded, but fortunately, more than 1,200 of them were slightly injured, and they could continue the battle with a little bandaging without affecting the combat effectiveness of the Dangerous Mountain Army.
At this time, Han Bianwai, Du Fei, and Du Kun ushered in reinforcements that surprised everyone: five hundred heavily armed family members led by Chen Xiong.
"General Chen, why are you back?" Stunned to look at the five hundred heavily armored and spear-clad families in front of him, with fierce and fierce faces, Du Fei asked suspiciously.
Previously, after Du Fei and the three of them discovered a large amount of grain, grass and ordnance accumulated in Tongliao Fort, they did suspect Chen Xiong's identity, but they never expected Chen Xiong to go and return.
"Could it be that this guy has become a Tatar worker, and he plans to sneak in and join forces with the Tartars to attack Tongliao Fort?" As soon as this idea appeared in his heart, Han Bianwai did not hesitate to deny this idea:
First of all, when Chen Xiong retreated, the Tartar army did not come at all, and it was impossible for Chen Xiong to be captured by the Tartar army; secondly, Chen Xiong had previously handed over a large amount of grain and ordnance to the Dangerous Mountain Army free of charge, and it was precisely by relying on these materials that the Dangerous Mountain Army could use firearms on a large scale unscrupulously; Chen Xiong brought too few people, although these people seemed to be elite soldiers, but they were not equipped with firearms, and the 100-strong firearm troops of the Dangerous Mountain Army could easily destroy them.
"Hahaha, don't hide it, the last general met a merchant family daughter on the way, this young lady heard that the dangerous mountain army was alone defending the city to resist the tens of thousands of Tartar army, and she admired it very much. Not only did he hand over the 500 families under his command to the last general, but he also carried a batch of gunpowder to send to the dangerous mountain army, and the last general had to personally escort this young lady to come," Chen Xiong smiled, and then walked to Han Bianwai's side and whispered.
Looking at Chen Xiong's appearance, this young lady's family must be extremely powerful in the court, and she is anxious for justice and righteousness, so she personally led 500 elite soldiers to help. And Chen Xiong was just a petty official guarding Tunbao, so naturally he didn't dare to disobey the order.
"Slave Bai Suxin, I have seen three generals, dare to ask which general is Li Rusong, Major General Li, who joined the army in the dangerous mountains?" At this time, in the carriage in the middle of the five hundred elite soldiers, a woman's voice came, and she asked shyly.
"Uh...... Xiaofei, won't she be the daughter who admires our brother, right? Hearing this, Han Bianwai looked embarrassed, pulled Du Fei over and asked in a low voice.
"No, don't the current daughters like those sour scholars? Do you like to pretend to dance and write all day long, pretending to be a chic so-called talent? Our brother is a rough man who barely writes his own name, and he scolds the reckless man on the street at every turn. In addition to Xiu'er and Sister Zhixin, there are still beautiful women who like him? Swallowing and foaming, Du Fei said jealously.
"It's better not to be true, otherwise when our brother goes back after this battle, he will either be castrated by his intimate sister and Xiu'er, or he will be beaten by his godmother with a feather duster and run away in danger" Du Kun next to him whispered, his tone full of schadenfreude.
"Don't talk nonsense, people are still staring over there. Don't embarrass our brother, since you are here to help us kill the Tartars, and there is nothing suspicious, you should receive it well, don't fall into the prestige of my dangerous mountain army" Han Bian said with his eyes rolled, and then took the initiative to step forward:
"I have seen the white girl outside the border of the dangerous mountains and Han, and the major general of my family is leading the main force of the cavalry to come, and he is not in the fort at present. The girl must be tired from all the way to the boat, so I will arrange a resting place for the girl."
After saying that, Han Bianwai didn't talk nonsense, and handed over a few clever dangerous mountain sergeants to lead the way, and let Bai Suxin go to rest first.
Chen Xiong, on the other hand, took 500 elite soldiers and was incorporated into the local garrison by Han Bianwai, so that the local garrison of Tunpu skyrocketed to 2,000 people.
Han Bianwai noticed a very interesting thing, when he saw Chen Xiong coming back, the local defenders of Tongliao Fort, who had been listless and cowering, actually wanted to change people: they all had high fighting spirits, and they were scrambling to go to the city tomorrow to fight the Tartars.
Moreover, Han Bianwai also found that Chen Xiong is not as simple as it seems on the surface: this person is very popular, very good at getting along with soldiers, has no officer frame at all, and shares weal and woe with soldiers.
"Hehe, Li Rusong didn't come? Presumably, it is false to lead the main force to come, and it is true that he took a detour to split the mountain to cut off the grain road! Interesting, this person is really not a martial artist, and the sect leader will definitely take you into his pocket! Bai Suxin, who was sitting in the carriage, secretly pursed her lips and smiled, and said secretly in her heart.
Poor Ala didn't know what to do, because the quick retreat caused another woman with almost a demon to enter Tongliao Fort, and in the ensuing battle, she would cause great trouble.
At this time, I was angry because I couldn't capture Tongliao Fort in time and quickly, and when I learned that the army defending the city was called the Dangerous Mountain Army, my answer's head suddenly grew more than three times: Isn't the Dangerous Mountain Army only cavalry? How did a group of infantry with a large number of sophisticated firearms come out?
"Is the legend true? This Li Rusong is really a god, no, no, it must be Zhao Quan's idiot, the previous investigation was not as careful as the investigation, and it is impossible to kill this idiot another day" After thinking for a long time, I decided to personally command the siege of the city, and by the way, test the reality of the enemy army.
At the same time, after seeing the power of the enemy's artillery, I learned that it was impossible to defeat the other side by filling the trenches with the lives of slaves. And according to the intelligence of the Ming Dynasty, these Ming Dynasty prisoners were not as weak as they seemed, and if they were forced to hurry, these people would not hesitate to attack the Mongols, and they were not even afraid of death.
"It seems that there is a big disadvantage in continuing to use these guys as cannon fodder!" After thinking about it with his thick beard, I decided to suspend the use of cannon fodder troops.
He ordered the army to set out overnight and set up camp in a plain area 500 miles away from Tongliao Fort, which could not only quickly attack Tongliao Fort, but also prevent the enemy's Liaodong Iron Cavalry from sneaking up at night.
"Starting tomorrow, the men and horses of the same should be responsible for defending the camp, and all the other soldiers will follow Ben Khan, and 10,000 people will feint to attack Liaobao to test the reality of the Ming Dynasty barbarians, and the rest of the people will all go to Ben Khan to cut down wood and make siege equipment" is the night tent is brightly lit, and I replied with a tense face, and said to several generals around him.
"Great Khan, if we do this, will it give the Ming army time to gather reinforcements?" Wu Liangha on the side frowned and asked cautiously.
"Cut! In addition to the so-called Liaodong iron cavalry, which other army of the Ming Dynasty barbarians dared to fight head-to-head with Ben Khan's iron cavalry? It would be better for the reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty to come, just in time to wipe them all out here, and cut off the hope of the defenders in the fort" spat at the mouth with disdain, and I replied indifferently.
Hearing me say this, the other two did not say anything more, and ordered the soldiers to set up camp overnight and go to the place where I was ordered to set up camp.
"Hehe, as expected by the slave family, I replied that since I was looking for death, the slave family fulfilled him!" At the same time, Bai Suxin, who received the secret protection of his subordinates in Tongliao Fort, said with a chuckle.
