It was night, and at the same time, outside Da'ankou, there was a silence, a deathly silence, without any insects and birds, and everywhere was quiet.

Of course, this kind of quietness is relatively speaking, how can there be less roaring winds outside the Great Wall of the North? The sound of whimpering is like the howl of a wolf; There was a rattling as if it was about to break branches and pull out dead grass.

Within a day, plus just now, there were already two emergencies at various checkpoints on the Great Wall, and the smoke and flames were soaring into the sky, constantly asking for help from all around. At the head of the city of Da'ankou, groups of soldiers were patrolling, and just now they were still in good spirits, full of energy, and full of vigilance.

However, not long after the fire at Longjing Pass disappeared, the officers and soldiers defending the city began to yawn, looking sluggish and drowsy. Especially the soldiers who were in charge of standing guard dozed off, and the person next to them reminded in a whisper: "Hey~ Brother, wake up, be careful, those foreign clans don't come to attack our Da'ankou." ”

"Ah~ You're too careful." Unmoved, the soldier yawned, fell asleep again, and continued to murmur, "Where did these foreigners come from so many troops? Having attacked two passes in a row, how can there be troops to attack us here? It's so sleepy, you make me squint for a while. ”

After a tense day and standing at the sentry post for so long, these people have long been tired and sleepy, and the same is true for the vast majority of soldiers.

At this moment, not far from Da'ankou, in the night, an inaudible voice sounded: "Yue Tuo, after a while, you lead a team of men and horses to sneak over, take advantage of the night, sneak towards the water gate of Da'ankou, and strive to destroy it in one fell swoop." In this way, we can drive straight into the customs. ”

"Yes, uncle."

Yue Tuo also responded softly, only the two of them could hear, and the gusts of north wind were still whimpering and roaring, as if announcing that a great war was coming.

Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of rustling, mixed with the roaring north wind, muffled by the swaying of the grass and trees. I can't see the five fingers of the night, and I can't see any figure shaking.

Between heaven and earth, in the darkness, on the vast grassland, in addition to the north wind that whimpered and roared wildly, there were only the stars in the night sky, and the torches on the head of the city and the light in the brazier with not much waist. Especially in the latter, the range of light is near the city walls, and the farther away, the weaker the light.

Time passed minute by minute, near the water gate of Da'ankou, a group of black shadows approached along the root of the city wall, and finally gathered in front of the water gate.

At this time, Yue Tuo, who took the lead, waved his hand suddenly, and then another group of soldiers came out of the darkness, carrying a huge wooden stake together, tiptoeing away, the sound was inaudible, and approached the water gate along the root of the city wall, nervous and careful, the nerves were in a state of high vigilance, and they didn't even dare to gasp.

Immediately, the two teams skillfully and tacitly cooperated with a huge wooden stake, gently aimed one end of it at the city gate, opened the stance, and waited for an order, so as to move at the same time. At this time, a loud shout suddenly came from the darkness: "Action! ”

“Duang~Duang.....！”

The dull sound of hitting the door one after another suddenly sounded, piercing the silence of the night, louder than the whistling wind, reverberating leisurely all around, the rhythm was distinct, containing this certain rhythm, which immediately woke up the Ming army at the head of the city, and it was also a signal to call on the Eight Banners Army in the darkness in the distance to act.

"Oh no, the enemy is coming!"

The sound of warning was not over, the officers and soldiers at the head of the city suddenly woke up, and were just about to pick up their weapons, when suddenly, there was a sound of arrows from the north, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived at the head of the city, and the arrows were extremely accurate, hitting the Ming troops with torches, as well as the sentry near the brazier.

Everything came so suddenly, and the Ming army defending the city was caught off guard. After a brief panic, the Ming army reacted and hid behind the city walls and began to prevent an effective counterattack. Shoot the north with a firebolt and the approximate direction where the arrows are flying.

Boom Boom!

The sound of artillery followed, and in late autumn, there were dry weeds everywhere, which were instantly ignited by shells, and the fire intensified, illuminating the night, and the Jin army immediately came into view.

As soon as the Ming army saw the target, it was suppressed by the fire of cannons and firearms, and the other soldiers either took out bows and arrows and fired back; Or lift up the rolling wood and stones, ready to smash the enemy under the water gate.

Knock knock!

The first wave of rolling wood and stones was only halfway through, a huge click suddenly sounded, the water gate collapsed, and the two doors were destroyed in response, and they were smashed to pieces, the city gate was wide open, and Yue Tuo and others instantly poured into Da'ankou and fought with the Ming army in the aisle. The sound of swords clashing was noisy.

Bang bang bang ...

Immediately afterwards, in the midst of artillery fire, under the rain of bullets, a large number of Eight Banners soldiers rushed in, fearless of life and death, rushing to Daankou. Although the firepower was not strong enough and dense enough, the Eight Banners still fell in rows and died under the guns.

However, with the speed of their horses and their skillful equestrian skills, the vast majority of the Eight Banners soldiers still managed to cross the rain of bullets, dodge the oncoming arrows that rained like a forest, rushed to Da'ankou, and killed inside without any hesitation.

From the impact on the gate of Da'ankou Water Gate to the loss, the time was only a few dozen minutes, and the officers and soldiers defending the city had been defeated and made the last resistance. Of course, there were also those who surrendered.

The wind was still howling, the horses were neighing, and there were all kinds of fighting, and the guns and cannons had stopped firing, and the latter was lying there honestly.

After a while, Daankou fell silent, and there was no more fighting. The firelight was flickering, black smoke was filling, and there was a thick smell of blood everywhere, and the smell of gunpowder smoke was mixed with it.

The smoke of the beacon fire has been extinguished, but the southwest Malanyu direction of Da'ankou is dotted with firelight, very dense, constantly shaking, driving towards Da'ankou, the distance is getting faster and faster, and the speed is very fast.

In just ten minutes, the firelight turned into a flickering fire, and it became more than twice as large. For this alone, it can be judged that the reinforcements of the Ming Court are all cavalry of a water, and they are constantly speeding at a high speed!

Zilharang and Yue Tuo had already joined together, riding on their respective horses, their eyes faint and flashing with excitement, and the two of them were followed closely by the cavalry of the brigade, scattered and scattered, exuding a fierce aura that belonged to the nomads.

After a brief silence, Zilharang immediately judged, "Hmm... It should be the Ming army of the Malan battalion. ”

Yue Tuo did not move like a mountain, his expression was very calm, and he said in agreement: "That's right. However, we must destroy this Ming army. Otherwise, once you wait until dawn and this place is so close to Zunhua, the Ming army in the vicinity will definitely come to help. At that time, if we can't solve the Ming army in the area of Ma Lanyu, we will be very passive and face an enemy several times our own. ”

"Okay, so what are you hesitating about? Immediately meet it and kill all the support troops in the Malan battalion. Zilharang immediately answered heartily, his eyes flashed with a light of suddenness, and he was very contemptuous of the approaching Ming army of the Malan camp.

"Okay, get rid of them, and the army can just rest for the night, and have a good rest. Early tomorrow morning, rush to Xifengkou and meet the Great Khan. Yue Tuo nodded.

Immediately, with an uproar, the two of them drew their sabers at the same time, raised them in the air, and waved them twice, and Zilharang, who was a cousin, shouted: "Warriors, rush, kill these Ming soldiers!" ”

"Whoa, whoa..."

The cavalry in the back roared, neat and consistent, full of bloodthirsty flavor. They followed suit, drew their sabers, and kept waving them in the air. With Zilharang and Yueto leading the way, they also rushed out.
