Of course, although the two of them were full of shock, but there was still a difference, Duan Xuan was shocked with worry, but Chharkov was shocked with confidence, the gap between the combat power of the two sides is too obvious, if it continues, Manmeng Xinzhen will undoubtedly be defeated, even if it is the strength of two Manmeng Xinzhen, it is not the opponent of 50,000 Rakshasa soldiers.

The attack on the first day was just a tentative feint, and neither side fully exposed their true strength, but the next big battle, that is, Mars hit the earth, and Chherkov, who knew the strength of the Ming army, would not give the Ming army too much time to react.

"Rebinsky, mobilize all our artillery, tomorrow, concentrate on attacking the west and north cities of Weihuo City, and attack with all our might, we must take Weihuo City in one fell swoop before the main reinforcements of the Ming army arrive!"

Chernkov shouted in a deep voice, after all, it is fighting on the border line of the Ming Empire, it is too far away from the Russian mainland, even if it is more than six thousand miles away from Kazan, it is too difficult to replenish the weapons and baggage in the rear, it must be fought quickly, and it cannot be delayed for too long.

"Yes, General!"

The artillery commander on the side, Rebinsky, agreed.

In the next three days, Chherkov commanded the Rakshasa soldiers to launch wave after wave of fierce attacks on the city of Weihuo, under the cover of artillery fire, the infantry went out, the city launched a surprise attack, the sound of guns shook the sky, and the city of Weihuo was completely plunged into an unprecedented and tragic war!

For four days, under the fierce artillery attack, the casualties of the Ming army rose sharply, directly breaking through thousands of people, most of them were hit by artillery muskets, and died in the battle, the Russian army attacked, more and more fierce, and the pressure of the Ming army also increased, especially the city wall in the west, and even some of them were damaged by artillery bombardment!

Duan Xuan didn't have any other good strategy, the gap between the two sides was too big, and he had to stick to one way, and now he could only hope that the reinforcements from Mobei and Hulunbuir could arrive as soon as possible.

In the city of Kulun, a group of fast horses galloped from the north, came to the city, and rushed towards the city without stopping.

"Stop!"

The soldier at the door was startled and shouted.

"Fuck off! Wei Huocheng urgently issued a document, Lao Tzu was ordered to see Lord Guo Zhen! ”

Shook the token in the hand of the chief Zhong Kui, ran directly into the city, ran all the way to the general army's yamen, and jumped off the warhorse!

"Lord Guo, Lord Guo!"

Now the defense of Mobei and Weihuo Province in the north has been handed over to Manmeng New Town, Duan Xuan personally sits in Weihuo City, and Guo Zhen, the deputy commander-in-chief, is responsible for the defense of Mobei with Kulun as the center, originally Guo Zhen asked to exchange with Duan Xuan many times, but Duan Xuan refused, compared to Kulun, the defense of Weihuo City is the most important, that is the real north gate of the Ming Empire, Duan Xuan only put it in his own hands, he feels down-to-earth.

Guo Zhen was resting at the Yamen of the General Army, and Zhong Kui's roar reached inside.

"Zhong Kui?"

Guo Zhen was shocked, Zhong Kui was Duan Xuan's pro-military battalion commander, why did he suddenly run back to Kulun City?

Guo Zhen had just stood up, and Zhong Kui had already broken in!

"Zhong Kui, you—Why did you come back suddenly?"

Zhong Kui wiped a handful of sweat and said urgently: "Lord Guo, something is wrong, the Rakshasa soldiers suddenly invaded, and the 50,000 army surrounded Weihuo City, Lord Duan ordered me to ask you for help quickly!" ”

An army of 50,000!

Guo Zhen felt that his head was suddenly dizzy, it's terrible, there are so many Rakshasa soldiers, where can Manmeng Xinzhen withstand it? Where can Weihuo City withstand? The combat power of the Rakshasa soldiers is really not weak......

"Master Guo, what are you still hesitating about? Hurry up and send troops, no one knows how long Lord Duan can hold out......"

Zhong Kui said urgently.

Guo Zhen calmed down and shouted: "Come on, come on!" ”

A personal soldier hurriedly ran in, bowed down and said, "My lord, what are your orders?" ”

Guo Zhen shouted: "Immediately send an order, the whole army of Manmeng New Town is assembled, fully prepared, and ready to go to battle; Send seven hundred miles to expedite, and take Lord Duan's documents to ask for help from Naturalization City! ”

The soldiers hurriedly agreed, and were about to turn around and go out, Guo Zhen then shouted: "Also, send cavalry, order the three departments of Mobei, immediately assemble the cavalry, and rush to the aid of Huocheng!" No delays! ”

The soldiers went down to give the order, and Guo Zhen asked Zhong Kui, "Zhong Kui, how is Wei Huocheng now?" ”

Zhong Kui smiled bitterly: "My lord, the specific situation is not clear, when I went out of the city to ask for help, the Rakshasa soldiers were still 100 miles away from Weihuo City, but according to the report of the cavalry scout, this time the Rakshasa soldiers were more than 50,000 people, no less than 20,000 elite cavalry, 30,000 infantry, and also carried a large number of artillery, no less than 200 artillery......

Guo Zhen couldn't sit still, and shouted: "What did you say? Two hundred guns? How can it be? 50,000 troops, capable of 200 artillery pieces? The Tianwei Army has 50,000 people in two towns, and it is only a hundred artillery pieces! Lie about the military situation, Lao Tzu will chop you directly! ”

Zhong Kui said astringently: "My lord, really, otherwise, the chief soldier would not have ordered me to run back day and night to ask for help, two hundred artillery, even if Weihuo City Tangchi Jincheng, it can't stand the day and night bombardment of two hundred artillery......"

Guo Zhen's face was a little pale, and he couldn't help but be horrified, Manmeng Xinzhen was unlucky, the first battle was fought with the three parts of Mobei, and the result was a sneak attack by the Rakshasa soldiers, the battle was lost, and the casualties were heavy, and now the second battle is to usher in a strong enemy, 50,000 Rakshasa soldiers, 200 artillery, specially, not to mention Manmeng Xinzhen, even if the south and north of the desert are combined, there are not so many artillery......

"Zhong Kui, now, we only have to fight to the death, dispatch all the cavalry, gallop to the aid of Huo Cheng, and order the northernmost Khalkha Department to attack first, gallop to help Wei Huo Cheng, and the other departments will follow!"

Guo Zhen smiled bitterly.

Guo Zhen did not dare to slack off, and ordered the generals of all departments to come to the general army yamen to discuss matters and prepare to send troops.

When Cullen was nervously gathering his forces, several fast horses had already rushed out of Cullen City and disappeared into the distance.

In order to ensure the safety of the Mongolian Plateau and strengthen the control of the frontier, the imperial court has built a post station from Kulun City to Guihua City, however, the post station here is still not as dense as the Central Plains, according to the ordinary speed, seven hundred miles are urgent, but I am afraid that even five hundred miles can not be reached, this time, in order to be able to transmit information as soon as possible, Guo Zhen directly ordered one person and three horses, and two messengers set off at the same time, with six war horses, and went straight to Guihua City.

From Kulun City to Guihua City, the distance is more than a thousand miles, the distance is not close, where does Guo Zhen dare to delay now, naturally the sooner the better, one person and three horses, take turns to hurry, maybe three days, can get the news from Guihua Mansion.
