Marlenburg.

In the early morning of the 28th day of the lunar month, the soldiers guarding the wall heard the faint thunderous hoofs on all sides of the castle again. With a thin glow, the Mongol cavalry approached Marenburg.

Ma Fang climbed the watchtower on the east side, his face was tense, and he put one hand on the hilt of his sword: "Tell the sons and daughters to wait for the Tartar to enter two hundred steps before enlarging the cannon." Although we still have sufficient ammunition, we must make long-term and long-lasting combat preparations. Hehe, Xin loves Huang Taiji, today I will let you know how powerful the old horse is! ”

Yan Hong was wearing his four-rank official uniform, covered with armor and an embroidered spring knife in his hand, and stood on the high platform in the center of Malian Fort to watch the battle. This Malianbao is not as good as Jinan City, not only the size of the city circle is very different, but also the walled wall is much lower than the Jinan city wall. In addition, the Mongols are famous for their cavalry and shooting, and if the Qincha stands on the wall of the wall to command the resistance, it is equivalent to being in the first line of fire, and if he is not shot by the Mongols, it will be a big deal. Therefore, he was placed on the central platform, which was a certain distance from the four walls, which was not only convenient for the Qincha to supervise the battle, but also safe and secure.

By Yan Hong's side, Zhang Qingyan was dressed all over his body, guarding him with a sword. At this moment, the blue-shirted dragon girl who used to be powerful in the rivers and lakes couldn't help but have mixed feelings. Think back to more than a year ago, in Jinan City, there was also such an enemy siege. At that time, it was her and her senior sister Xia Zisu who were guarding around Qincha. Now, the enemy outside the city has been replaced by a standard Mongolian iron cavalry, and Yan Hong is guarding by his side. But he was alone. And myself and my sister. has been wet in front of this handsome rich kid. Do your best. It's easy to fall in love with this golden beetle son-in-law, but now under the pressure of a strong enemy, it is difficult to judge whether it is fierce or auspicious.

In Malian Fort, Yu Dayou's 2,000 Fujian soldiers are now ready for war. Even the lightly injured who fought two days ago were bound with their wounds and their swords on their sides. Although guarding Marenburg is the business of the border army. However, if Malianbao is lost, how can the Min army, as the guard of the Qin mission, stay out of the matter? It's just that Ma Fang repeatedly emphasized that how to defend Malian Fort, the border army had already prepared, so he asked the Fujian army to sweep the formation, just in case. Yu Dayou saw that Ma Fang was so enthusiastic, so it was naturally inconvenient to take the lead.

As for Yan Hong's Jinyi guard, in the battle the day before, more than 100 people were killed and wounded. Vitality is badly damaged. These are all elite divisions specially allocated by Lu Bing to Yan Hong, which makes Yan Hong feel distressed. Now this team. Yan Hong asked Wang Ting, Liu Lian, Yun Chuqi, Ye Zhengfei and others to stay in the fortress and guard the surroundings of the high platform where Yan Hong was, as a reserve in case of emergency, so as not to have more casualties. Liang Rufei, Yan Feng, Yan Fu, Yan Jing, Yan Guo and other henchmen and masters such as Shang Ziqiang were waiting for Yan Hong in a place closer to him.

With a terrible horn, the Mongol cavalry approached from all sides. The sound of a whizzing bowstring pierced the sky, and feathered arrows flew like locusts towards the walls of Marenburg. The soldiers on the fort were killed and wounded, despite the shields and shields. Under the suppression of thousands of strong bows, the Mongol cavalry on the front line rushed to the trench with dirt bags, threw out the dirt bags in their hands, and threw them in the trench. It didn't take long for several of the trenches that Ma Fang had dug outside the wall to be filled.

In this process, the artillery and firecrackers on the walled wall fired together, and the smoke of gunpowder continued to rise from the walled wall like a cloud one by one. The Mongol cavalry that rushed forward were knocked to the ground one after another. But when the Mongol army moved quickly and rode well, they all rushed up desperately under the leadership of centurions and thousands. Although the corpses were left behind, as a price, the first line of defense of Marlenburg was basically completely powerless.

Then the Mongols began to attack the wall directly. Dozens of return cannons were made day and night, and a boulder weighing 100 catties was thrown at Malian Fort. Once this boulder hits, its lethality is naturally much stronger than that of a firearm projectile that usually weighs only more than a pound or a few pounds. A stone projectile flew to a gun emplacement in Malianbao, knocking the cannon over, and several soldiers who were operating the cannon were smashed to the point that their heads collapsed, and their flesh and blood were blurred. Another stone projectile hit the wall, knocking down a large chunk of the wall.

With every projectile hit, a thunderous cheer erupted in the ranks of the Mongols. At the same time, their onslaught towards Marenburg was even more rapid. Some rushed to the wall, ran around the wall, and shot arrows at the wall. The horses were so fast that the firecrackers on the wall had no time to aim, so they could only shoot out with great luck, hoping that the Mongols would hit the projectile themselves. On the contrary, the Mongols' bows and arrows made the defenders unable to raise their heads. The other part of the Mongolian army, some continued to throw sandbags under the wall, and gradually piled up a slope under the not very high wall. Some of them directly attacked the gap in the wall that was broken by the stone bullet. In the course of this attack, several Mongol soldiers were mistakenly wounded by stone bullets falling from the sky from their own side, and they were killed on the spot.

However, no matter how fierce the Mongol offensive was, the border soldiers of Malianbao still fought on their own, as if the reef was still in the rush of waves. Except for the gun position that was hit on the spot by the return gun, other artillery and guns were still firing. Sometimes, when the soldiers who operated the artillery were shot by the Mongols' arrows and were killed or wounded on the spot, the border soldiers behind them stepped forward to take the place of their dead and wounded comrades, and continued to reload their ammunition and shoot at the enemy in the distance.

At the gaps in the wall of the wall, which had been hit by the return artillery, the Mongol cavalry rushed up like a tidal wave, and a great battle ensued in this narrow place. The musketeers retreated to the side, and the soldiers armed with spears, broadswords, and shields lined up in a line to seal the gap, and fought bloody battles with the Mongol soldiers who came on horseback. The Mongol soldiers had the momentum of attacking their horses, and the momentum was like thunder; And the soldiers of the border army faced life and death and stood majestically. Sometimes, before the Mongolian soldiers could rush closer, they would be knocked down by the spears of the border army, and even men and horses would roll down; Sometimes, the Mongolian soldiers had already rushed in front of them, and the border soldiers were directly knocked into the air by the enemy. And no matter which side was killed or wounded, someone immediately stepped forward to fill it, so the two sides continued to grind meat and fight in the gap.

Yan Hong watched the battle on the central platform, which was also thrilling. The fighting ability of the Mongols, he was well aware of the city of Jinan. After the city wall of Jinan was blown up by the White Lotus Sect, in the battle of the gap, in the face of the assault of thousands of Mongolian people, the general military horses in the city were not opponents at all, and they could only rely on the numerical advantage to fill their lives with several times the number of casualties. Even so, he relied on the reinforcements of the Loyal Alliance and Shao Jing's sneak attack on the Mongolian commander, which barely lasted a day. Now in Malianbao, the Mongols have the advantage in numbers, and the gap was opened on the first day, but the border army under Ma Fang, in the face of the onslaught of the Mongol army, can block it. This allowed him to once again appreciate the elite strength of the border army after the cavalry field battle two days ago. (To be continued......)
