Chapter 687: Discord (1st Shift)

Boom, boom, boom!

In the early morning, when the distant sky showed a faint morning light, three earth-shattering huge roars broke the tranquility of Yinzhou City, and the entire Yinzhou City trembled like thunder falling from the sky.

The people of Yinzhou City in their sleep were awakened by three loud noises, and they pushed open the windows and looked out in fear, not knowing what was happening.

"Kill!"

Just as the people were secretly guessing, a tsunami-like shouting of killing came from outside the gates of the eastern, northern, and western cities, and countless Xiaowu soldiers and Jurchen soldiers waved their weapons and rushed into the city through the dust that was permeated by the bombed city walls.

"Go see what's going on?" The sound of explosions and shouts of killing not only woke up the people in the city, but also the Mongolian generals and soldiers.

"General, the little one is going to investigate." A middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper rushed out of the room next to him and ran out while putting on his clothes.

Listening to the shouts of killing from far and near, Mansu suddenly felt that the situation was not good, and hurriedly put on his clothes and armor and led the guards to the barracks.

"Will ...... General, it's not good, Ming ...... The Ming army has come over and is besieging our camp. "Mansu's troops are stationed in the east of the city, and he lives in the best mansion in Yinzhou City, which is located in the south of the city, which is a little far away from the barracks, so before he can reach the barracks, the butler has already galloped from the east of the city on horseback and shouted at him.

"What?" Man Su was shocked when he heard this, he didn't understand where the Ming army besieging the city came from, and he didn't know how the Ming army broke through the city wall.

"General, the city ...... The city wall in the east of the city collapsed for some reason, and the Ming ...... The city where the Ming army entered through the gap. The butler came to Mansu's side and stammered as he explained, his face extremely pale.

"How so!" Mansu's face was full of shock, and he couldn't help muttering to himself, but now the situation was too dangerous for him to think about it, and then rushed to the barracks with his legs between his legs and the belly of the horse, ready to command his soldiers to engage the Ming army.

At the same time, Mu Du also rushed to the military camp in the north of the city, he and Mansu chose to live in the spacious and comfortable house in Yinzhou City, and after waking up from his sleep, he hurriedly rushed to the military camp, never expecting that the Ming army would attack.

Not only the barbarian Su and Mudu, but also the Mongol army in Yinzhou City were also stunned by the sudden attack of the Ming army, and they responded to the battle in a hurry, looking very wolf.

According to Li Yuntian's plan, the Ming army attacking from the east and north of the city entered the city and went straight to the barracks of Mansu and Mudu, and the Ming army attacking from the west of the city attacked the Mongolian army of the two barracks from the rear.

Both Mansu and Mu were soon surprised to discover that the Ming army that had invaded the city was extremely fierce, unlike the Ming army they had encountered earlier in Liaodong, and that there were many Jurchen people in Jurchen costumes inside, causing great casualties to the Mongol army in a hurry.

After a tragic battle, the two soon realized that the street fighting was not good for the Mongol army, and the streets and alleys of Yinzhou City were full of people, making the Mongol cavalry useless, but became the target of the Ming archers.

Therefore, both Mansu and Mu coincidentally made the same decision, ordering the Mongol army to break through from the south of the city and prepare to fight the Ming army to the death outside the city.

When the Mongolian cavalry brandished their sabers and rushed out of the south gate of Yinzhou City, shouting and rushing to the two hundred meters of the musketeers waiting outside the city gate, the musketeers pulled the trigger, and the gunshots like fried beans rang out.

With the sound of close gunfire, the Mongolian cavalry who rushed to the front dismounted one after another, and a massacre slowly began, and the Mongolian cavalry and foot soldiers who rushed out of the city gate fell in a pool of blood in the fire of the musketeers, and the ground in front of the musketeers was soon covered with corpses and rivers of blood.

Li Yuntian rode a horse and stood on a hill outside the city, looking expressionlessly at the falling Mongolian cavalry and foot soldiers outside the south gate of Yinzhou City.

At noon, after a morning of fierce fighting, the Ming army successfully took control of the eastern, northern and western cities, and surrounded more than 10,000 people such as Mansu and Mudu in the southern city.

Barbarian Su and Mu both stood on the tower of the city gate, staring dumbfounded at the corpses of the Mongolian cavalry and foot soldiers lying in pools of blood outside the city gate, in front of the corpses were five fan-shaped arrays of musketeers, five or six thousand Mongol soldiers had died under the guns of the musketeers, and even the most elite Mongolian cavalry could not rush through in the face of a dense rain of bullets.

In the face of the musketeer army that ruthlessly devoured the lives of the Mongol soldiers, the barbarian Su and Mu Du had lost the confidence to break through, and according to the power of the musketeer phalanx, no matter how many people they sent forward, they would only send them to death.

At this moment, the two finally understood why the Ming army would leave the south gate, it turned out to trap them here, and now the Ming army in the city has completed the siege of them, and there is such a terrifying musketeer army outside the city, which makes the two in a dilemma.

"Listen upstairs, my lord is the deputy commander-in-chief of Liaodong ordered by the emperor, as long as you surrender, my lord will guarantee your safety."

Just when Mansu and Mu were at a loss, a group of Ming troops escorted Chahe, Balu and other captured Mongolian generals to the city gate tower, and the leading military attache of the Xiaowu Army pointed at Chahe, Balu and others and shouted to the city gate tower, "You have no reinforcements, and there is only one way to die if you resist stubbornly!" ”

After seeing Chahe, Balu and the others, Mansu and Mudu's faces couldn't help but turn even paler, and the Mongolian soldiers on the city wall were also whispering there with frightened expressions, with desperate looks on their faces, which meant that they would fight alone in Yinzhou City.

"General Mansu, have you forgotten the agreement with my family, as long as my family can make great contributions in Liaodong, then I will do my best to help you sit on the throne of the Tatar Great Khan, now is the opportunity to kill Mu Du and annex his subordinates, what are you waiting for?"

The military attache of the Xiaowu Army saw that there was no movement on the city gate, so he raised his voice and shouted at the barbarian Su, "General Mansu, don't worry, my lord is full of words, since you and my lord have a good cooperation in front, then my lord will definitely not break his word, today's siege is really helpless, my lord is worried that you will not be able to control the situation in the city!" ”

"What?" Mu Du was taken aback when he heard this, and couldn't help but take a step back, looking at the Mansu with a vigilant expression, could it be that the Mansu had collusion with the Ming army?

"Don't listen to his nonsense, I have nothing to do with them!" Mansu was also taken aback, he never imagined that the military attache of the Xiaowu Army would say such a thing, and hurriedly explained to Mu Du.

"No wonder you want to send Balu out, it turns out that you have already colluded with the Ming army!" How could Mu Du believe in Mansu lightly, and looked at him with a sneer, if he remembered correctly, the Ming army in Kaiyuan City sent several generous gifts to Mansu, if there was no secret transaction between the two sides, how could the Ming army be so vigorous to curry favor with Mansu?

Besides, if it wasn't for the barbarian Su who betrayed Chahe, who came to reinforce him, how could the Ming army have captured him? It also made Balu also captured by the Ming army, and it is obvious that the barbarian Su had private contacts with the Ming army and provided information to the Ming army.

"Mu Du, I didn't collude with the Ming army, don't let them sow discord!" Man Su immediately panicked when he heard this, and even denied to Mu that although he had received a lot of money from Li Yuntian before, he only received money, and did not have any private cooperation with Li Yuntian.

As soon as Mansu's words fell, a long arrow flew out of his ear and flew towards Mu Du, Mu Du was already vigilant when he saw this, and quickly turned sideways to avoid it, and the long arrow snorted into the chest of a guard behind him, the guard's body shook and fell, blood slowly oozed out of his mouth, and his body twitched a few times without a sound.

Seeing this, Mansu was taken aback, and quickly turned his head to look back, only to see a Mongol soldier mixed with his guards holding an empty bow in his hand, and there was no doubt that this person had shot an arrow at Mu Du just now.

"Kill!" Before Mansu could scold the Mongolian soldier who was shooting arrows, Mu Du had already pulled out the saber on his waist, pointed at Mansu viciously, and shouted loudly in his mouth.

Hearing this, the Warat soldiers on the tower of the city gate rushed towards the Tatar soldiers with their weapons brandished, and the two sides were soon killed.

Mansu's face turned pale, he wanted to take down the Mongolian soldier who rashly shot arrows to make amends to Mu Du, who would have thought that Mu Du would order an attack, so he had no choice but to retreat under the protection of the guards, and the Mongolian soldier who shot arrows disappeared into the chaotic crowd.

If the people of the Dayan tribe were present at this time, they would have recognized the identity of the Mongol soldier who cast the cold arrow, the second brother of Halbara, Chaganbala.

Although Chaganbala's archery skills are not as good as Harbara's, it is still easy to **** kill a person at close range, and the target of his shooting just now is not Mu Du, but the guard behind Mu Du, so that Mu Du escaped, and also successfully provoked a big fight between Mansu and Mu Du.

The battle on the tower of the city gate soon spread to the Mongol soldiers in the southern city, which caused the Tatar soldiers and the Warat soldiers, who already had a grudge, to fight immediately, and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides in the southern city.

In the face of the Tatar soldiers and Warat soldiers who fought to the death, the soldiers of the Ming army naturally chose to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and waited until the two sides were exhausted before going to clean up the mess.

"Come on, report to the imperial court, our army has won a great victory in Liaodong, and wiped out 100,000 Northern Yuan soldiers in Kaiyuan City and Qingfeng Valley, and the overall situation in Liaodong has been decided!"

Looking at the scuffle on the city gate, Li Yuntian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and ordered the guards on the side in a deep voice, he knew that the imperial court needed a victory now, so he reported the great victory of Kaiyuan City and Qingfeng Valley to the Jingshi, which not only appeased the people's hearts but also boosted morale.

"Remember, send this war report to the capital no matter what!" As he spoke, Li Yuntian's face turned cold, and he gave an order categorically.

Because Shanhaiguan was blockaded by the Mongolian Ulianghabu, the only way to transmit the war report back to the capital was to take the sea route from Pyongyang Prefecture in Xijing of Korea to the Tianjin Port of the Ming Dynasty, and then rush from the port of Tianjin to the city of Beijing.

The sea is changing, and it is not sure when it will encounter a violent storm and rain and a ship will be destroyed and people will die, so it will be full of danger to take the sea route, but Li Yuntian has to do this in order to pass on the war report.

This also means that Li Yuntian will blow the horn of counterattack in Liaodong to reduce the pressure on Shanxi Xingdu Division and Wanquan Capital Division, which can be described as well-intentioned.
