However, when the Tatar soldiers penetrated deep into the streets of the Great King's City, their nightmare began. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The spider-like streets and alleys of this royal city are simply an oversized labyrinth. The Tatar soldiers walked along the winding alleys, either into a dead end, or found that they could not get around the wall. These are still lucky, some Tatar soldiers, rushing headlong into an open field, just thought that they had finally come out of the labyrinth, but saw several times their defenders, already with bows and arrows waiting there!

Seeing that things were not good, the Tatars who had fallen into the trap turned around and ran, only to find that defenders armed with knives and guns had also appeared on the way. Seeing the encirclement shrink rapidly, the Tatar soldiers let out a desperate howl and brandished their weapons to meet them. After a rain of arrows, only half of the Tatar soldiers remained, and although the remaining half fought valiantly, they were helpless, and after a period of life-and-death bites, their bodies were soon pierced by the spears of the defenders.

Having eliminated this group of enemy troops, the defenders pulled arrows from the dead bodies, wiped the tips of their spears on their robes, and quickly returned to the distance to hide, waiting for the next wave of prey to take the bait.

Such scenes are played out everywhere in the city, and those streets and alleys that cover traffic seem to be connected to each other, but in fact they are small independent areas. Although each area is not large, the streets and alleys in the area are interlocking, the big circle is set around the small circle, and each wall is earthy yellow, generally high, twisting and turning in it, and after a while, you can't tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest, and you don't know where you are......

The Tatars who rushed into the alleys were divided by these unsightly alleys, some of them could not get around, some of them returned to the starting point while walking, and some of them fell into the enemy formations that were waiting for their work, and were easily wiped out by the superior forces. But the defenders were at ease in these alleys, and they led the Tatars around in a circle, knowing how to send them to the graves, and then, as soon as they turned, surrounded the next wave of Tatars.

The defenders were far less powerful than the enemy, but the defenders were always bullying the few in all parts of the city, and sometimes the Tatars spotted the defenders, gritted their teeth and chased after them, turning a street and getting lost at a fork in the road...... When they find the defenders again, it will be the moment to fall into the trap.

All this is thanks to Chen Duo who stood on the west wall. He overlooked the battle situation in the streets and alleys like a falcon, and from time to time issued instructions to the city, connecting the seemingly scattered areas into a whole, either supporting each other or attacking together, and the troops flowed in different areas, always appearing where they should be most present......

The generals on the side looked secretly stunned, they knew too well how difficult it was for Chen Duo to command like this. This not only requires a smooth herald system, but also requires him, as a commander, to take the overall situation, understand the advantages and disadvantages of troops and changes in the battle situation in all parts of the city, and carry out extremely complex and trivial but overall unified deployment.

The generals admired Chen Duo's command ability, but Baoyin knew very well that Chen Duo could do this, in addition to his own talent, and more importantly, his down-to-earth diligence that was difficult for ordinary people to achieve.

Back more than a month ago, when the Great King City had just been besieged, Baoyin asked Chen Duo for advice, can the Great King City be defended?

Chen Duo analyzed the situation of friend and foe for Baoyin, and told her that there should be no problem within a month, but if a month later, the imperial court's reinforcements have not arrived, and the Great King City may be in danger of falling.

Bao Yin asked again, what should I do after the city wall falls?

Chen Duo said that the loss of the city wall does not mean defeat, because there are still street battles, and the defending side is familiar with the terrain, and can also transform the streets and alleys to maximize their geographical advantages, divide the enemy into small parts, and eat them bite by bite. As long as you prepare properly, it will not be a problem to persist for another ten days and half a month.

Baoyin asked again, what will happen to the people in the city if there is a street fight? Chen Duo told Baoyin that the underground soil of Dawangcheng is soft, which is very conducive to digging tunnels. It can make the people dig tunnels according to the plan, so that not only the people can hide in the ground, but the army can also use the tunnels to mobilize.

Baoyin ordered Chen Duo to be the commander-in-chief of the city, and let him be responsible for mobilizing the people and completely transforming the streets and alleys of Dawang City. After the walls are lost, engage in street battles with the enemy.

After receiving the appointment, Chen Duo immediately came up with a plan for the transformation, where the tunnels should be excavated, where the alleys should be blocked, where the maze could be set up, and where the good place to place traps was already well understood.

This is obviously not something that can be done at the end of the day, in the past few years, Chen Duo has carefully investigated every street and every house in Dawang City, and made a plan. Although at the time, it seemed that what he did was useless, once the war came, it was clear that the victorious voice would only favor those who were more prepared......

In Chen Duo's heart, he was full of awe and gratitude to Wang Xian, the Duke of Zhenguo, who taught him military skills. If Wang Xian hadn't taught them, who would have known what three-dimensional staggered firepower was? Who knows what it means to trade defensive depth for time difference? Who knows how to establish a smooth liaison system in the deep positions where the enemy and the enemy are intertwined? Who knows the guerrilla warfare method of 'the enemy advances and I retreat, and the enemy retreats and we advance'?

When Chen Duo stood on the city wall, overlooking the position he had built single-handedly, and put what he had learned in his life into full use, he saw the movement of his own troops like a finger, and the Tatar army was deep in a labyrinth, scattered and absorbed in waves, obviously several times his own, but he was always at a numerical disadvantage in the battle! Chen Duo felt more and more that his young lord was incomparably powerful and mysterious, as if there was nothing he didn't know, nothing he couldn't do!

The fierce battle was close to noon, and the nirvana at the head of the eastern city sensed that something was wrong. He found that the streets of the city had been transformed, and the defenders were clearly organized and strategically engaged in combat, but on his side, although every small group of soldiers had been cautious, they had no command as a whole, and in fact they were still running blindly like flies, and were always annihilated by the enemy's local superior forces.

He should have discovered this situation a long time ago, but he had been dizzy from the shock when the city wall collapsed, and it took him an hour or two to recover. In addition, there is also the idea of 'don't let those guys suffer, they won't be obedient', so he has been silent.

Indeed, it was only at this time that the Tatar army gradually calmed down, and they were horrified to find that the morning offensive had nothing to gain except for the loss of a few thousand people. The bloody and cruel reality finally made them realize that the end of those winding streets and alleys was the entrance to hell at all!

The boiling blood of the beast finally cooled down, and fear replaced greed, dominating the thinking of the Tatar army. They finally stopped and looked into the distance at the top of the city......

The Tatar nobles surrounded him, nodded to him and said, "Da Taiji, think of a way, our son's death and injury are too miserable......" During the siege, the Tatars stood far away, and naturally there were no casualties. But after attacking the city, it was about the harvest of this battle, and the Tatar soldiers naturally had to rush ahead. Even if they wanted to shrink back, their respective leaders would not allow it.

Therefore, the Tatar headquarters army that attacked the city was about half and half and half of the servant cannon fodder army, and the swords and guns of the defenders could not distinguish which one was the noble Tatar lord and which was the lowly miscellaneous cannon fodder, so the number of Tatars killed was about the same as the cannon fodder army. From last night to today, the deaths and injuries have worsened, and there are nearly 3,000 people each...... With the level of medical care in the grasslands, a serious injury is equal to death.

You must know that the Tru River and the Ming army fought fiercely, and the Tatars did not die so many sons, which made the leaders very painful.

"I said a long time ago that the situation in Dawangcheng is special, and you must listen to my unified command." Seeing their dejected appearance, he felt very relieved, and said unhurriedly: "But what can I do if you don't listen to orders?" ”

"We listen, let's start fighting, we'll fight wherever you point......" The Tatar nobles hurriedly laughed.

"What if you still don't listen?" Nirvana looked at Arutai, who was watching his nose and nose beside him, and said lightly: "There is no child's play in the army." ”

"Don't, we can't swear yet......" The Tatar nobles hurriedly swore an oath: "Immortal Heaven is above, we promise to listen to Dataiji!" ”

Arutai was on the side, how awkward it sounded, he felt that the insistence on attacking the Great King City seemed to be a conspiracy to seize power. But at this point, if he dared to withdraw his troops, he would be eaten alive by those Tatar nobles. The overall situation is important, and he can only let the rabbit cub perform to his heart's content.

'When this battle is over, see how Lao Tzu cleans you up.' The corners of Arutai's mouth twitched twice, but he didn't say anything after all.

After noon, the Tatar army returned to the battle, this time they did not blindly disperse their advance, but relied on the eastern city wall, and little by little they threw in their troops, demolishing the earthen walls and houses that blocked the way, completely destroying the offensive of the defenders, and only then sending heavy troops to sweep the streets one by one.

Although this was slower, the Tatar army always maintained a concentration of forces, so that the defenders had no chance to take advantage of it, but to watch the Tatars tear down all the houses on the southeast side......

On the southern city wall, the defending generals watched with a pale face as the Tatar army changed its strategy, taking advantage of the superiority in troops, advancing steadily and steadily, advancing slowly from point to surface, and encroaching on their territory little by little!

I have to admit that although this method is clumsy, it gives full play to their military advantages, so that the defenders are like tigers eating the sky, and there is nowhere to eat......

The generals all looked at Chen Duo, who had performed well before, hoping that he could come up with a countermeasure. However, Chen Duo only ordered all departments to 'do what they can, don't do it brutally', so he no longer made any noise, and only quietly watched the Tatar army tear down one fortification after another, and continue to advance the front. By dark, the Tatars had occupied the southeastern corner of the city, nearly a third of the city. (To be continued.) )
