Taking a deep breath, Hu Limu stared at the sudden appearance of a great Ming soldier outside the city gate, gritted his teeth and said: "Let's see first, if there are not many people, we will rush out, if ......"

Outside the city gate, Sun Qiu took the lead, and thousands of people and horses behind him blocked the direction of the city gate.

Miao Yuan, the head of the Lu family and the others fled into the city in embarrassment, looking like they had palpitations, and only about a third of the servants who had walked in front and stepped out of the city gate had fled back at this time.

One by one, however, the servants who had escaped were greatly stimulated, and some of them went mad and howled like headless flies and ran towards the Tatars behind them.

Looking at the frightened family member who ran over, Hu Limu was holding back a breath of anger in his heart, and when he saw this, he couldn't help but swing a knife and chop a family member to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen family members were slashed to death on the spot, only to be so frightened that Miao Yuan and the others stopped at once and did not dare to get too close to Hu Limu and others, for fear of being hacked to death by Hu Limu and others on the spot.

Looking around, Miao Yuan and several other family heads glanced at each other, gritted their teeth and ran into the night.

Hu Limu and the others saw Miao Yuan and his party fleeing into the night, but they did not stop them, squinting their eyes, Hu Limu looked at a deputy general beside him and said, "Bring a team of men and horses, let me go to test how many Ming troops are outside the city?" ”

Hu Limu had no other choice, at this time he still hoped to rush out of the south gate, after all, if he turned around and went to the east and west gates, he was afraid that those two gates would also be guarded by Ming soldiers.

So instead of spending time changing direction, it's better to put hope in front of you.

The general's face couldn't help but show a little horror when he heard this, he was not a fool, those great Ming soldiers outside the city blocked the city gate, which completely blocked their way, and they saw with their own eyes what happened to those servants before.

Especially at this moment at the gate of the city, the dense arrows nailed the hundreds of corpses to the ground, and the bloody atmosphere was pervasive, which could not be more dazzling.

At this time, Hu Limu actually asked him to lead a team to storm the Ming army outside the city gate, this is a mission of nine deaths, unless it is amazing luck, otherwise, if you go out, you may be shot into a hornet's nest.

But seeing Hu Limu's stunned face, especially the bloody scimitar in Hu Limu's hand, the lieutenant couldn't help but feel a little chill in his heart, he dared to guarantee that if he refused, he was afraid that the scimitar in Hu Limu's hand would slash at him in the next moment.

Gritting his teeth, the lieutenant nodded at Hulimu and shouted at the same time, and hundreds of men and horses behind him followed him towards the city gate.

Sun Qiu, who was guarding outside the city gate, naturally noticed Hu Limu and his party, and the previous wave of arrow rain scared Miao Yuan and the others away, and Sun Qiu was already fully prepared.

If Hu Limu and his party retreated, Sun Qiu would definitely catch up with him as soon as possible and chase after him, but Hu Limu and his party had no intention of retreating, so Sun Qiu naturally would not rush forward.

The earth shook, and a glint flashed in Sun Qiu's eyes, staring at the gate of the city, and behind him, more than a thousand archers locked the gate of the city with their bows and arrows.

When a group of Tatar soldiers rushed out of the city gate, they only heard Sun Qiu's indifferent shout: "Shoot!" ”

Almost instantly, thousands of arrows fell together, originally only a few hundred soldiers, this wave of arrows rained down, almost six or seven percent of the Tatar soldiers were shot on the spot, even if they were lucky enough to escape the catastrophe, many of them also had arrows stuck in their bodies, but they did not fall from their horses.

After a rain of arrows, there were only a hundred Tatar soldiers left who barely fell from their horses.

Most of the more than 100 cavalrymen were also wounded, and they rushed to the front, preparing to storm the Ming army formation, but at this time, those archers instantly dodged to both sides, and at the same time shouted, and then saw a spear almost a foot long like a tree stabbing forward.

Poof, poof

If it is said that thousands or even tens of thousands of cavalry charged, the spear array may not be able to play a very good effect, but now there are only more than 100 Tatar cavalry left, and these more than 100 people were pierced by the spear of the forest almost instantly.

In the blink of an eye, the Tatars who were sent by Hulimu to test Sun Qiu's group of Ming soldiers were all wiped out.

Hu Limu clearly saw this scene, but Hu Limu did not feel sad for the sacrifice of this subordinate at all, but showed a little sneer.

There was a slight sneer on the corner of Hu Limu's mouth, the deputy general was indeed killed in battle, but in Hu Limu's opinion, his death in battle was not without a little significance.

At least let him see clearly what the specific strength of the Ming side is.

Just like the kind of lethality shown by Xu Tianzuo's men and horses who guarded the city gate at the north city gate before, it was too strong.

In that case, even Hu Limu didn't dare to guarantee that the people he brought would be able to rush out of the city gate, but when facing Sun Qiu at this time, Hu Limu was keenly aware that there were not too many Ming soldiers who stopped the south city gate.

Although there are many archers, at least he sent hundreds of people, and more than 100 people rushed to the front of the Ming army, which was what he was most excited about.

What the cavalry is most afraid of is that the enemy will be shot without even approaching, especially the Ming Dynasty has always relied on firearms to deal with cavalry, and he has not seen any trace of firearms at all.

In Hu Limu's heart, the threat of Sun Qiu's men and horses was naturally greatly reduced, at least giving Hu Limu some hope of killing.

Sun Qiu listened to Hu Limu's loud laughter from the city, frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Soldiers, get ready to fight!" ”

As a general, Sun Qiu was naturally able to hear the tenacious fighting spirit revealed in Hu Limu's laughter, and naturally ordered his subordinates to prepare as soon as possible.

Then a group of soldiers came out from behind the spearmen, and in their hands, the muzzles of the guns of the black holes of the fire guns were aimed in the direction of the city gate, and more than a thousand archers on both sides also locked the city gate.

It can be said that at this time, Sun Qiu's firepower output personnel are all ready.

The earth shook, and just by listening to the movement, you could tell that the number of cavalry in this wave was not large at all.

Hu Limu still has nearly 3,000 soldiers and horses, but after that wave, Hu Limu has about 2,000 people left.

However, this is more than 2,000 cavalry, once the charge is up, the momentum is also very amazing, it is really placed on the plain, even if more than 10,000 foot soldiers meet thousands of cavalry, I am afraid that there is only the power to parry.

Fortunately, these Tatar cavalry were in the middle of the city, and if the city gate was to accommodate pedestrians, the city gate would be spacious, but for the cavalry who needed enough space to spread out, the width of the city gate was too narrow, and it was not enough for the cavalry to spread out.

But even so, these soldiers under Hu Limu frantically beat the war horses under them, and rushed towards the outside of the city.

Without Sun Qiu's orders, the soldiers at the gate of the city had already reacted one by one.

I saw a rain of arrows directly covered it, and dozens or hundreds of Tatar soldiers fell down directly, although the fall of these soldiers had a certain impact on the Tatar soldiers who rushed out behind, but these Tatars were really fierce, regardless of whether there were companions in front of them who fell from their horses, they directly urged the war horses under them to rush forward.

Boom, boom, boom

With a roaring sound, I saw that in the midst of the smoke of gunpowder, hundreds of firearms fired in unison, and suddenly a miserable scream came.

The smile on the face of the Tatar cavalry, who had been lucky enough to escape under the rain of arrows, had not yet spread, and the result was a flash of fire, followed by severe pain in their bodies, and one by one they fell from the horses.

Baptized by the rain of arrows, intercepted by firebolts, and finally able to rush to the front, there were only a few war horses.

Although the sudden power of firearms was somewhat unexpected by Hulimu, Hulimu could probably tell that there were not so many firearms and archers outside the city just by listening to the sound of firearms, and as long as they were willing to charge, there might not be no hope of escaping.

Hu Limu hid in the midst of the crowd and shouted: "Rush! Eternal Heaven blesses! ”

"Immortal Heaven Bless!"

"Immortal Heaven Bless!"

A famous Tatar soldier rushed out of the city gate like a madman, and although they were greeted by a rain of arrows, these soldiers did not care too much, but rushed forward with all their hearts.

Sun Qiu couldn't help frowning when he saw this.

If he had known that the Tatars would rush out of the south gate, then he would have left all his archers and firearms here at the south gate.

After all, he divided his firearms and archers into three parts, guarding the three gates respectively, so he naturally dispersed his own strength.

Otherwise, all the archers and firearms would be here, and those who kept Hulimu's men would definitely not rush forward.

"Shieldmen, spearmen, up!"

With a bang, more than 2,000 soldiers stepped forward in unison.

There was a heavy thumping sound, and the rows of shield-wielding soldiers in front of them were fiercely charged away by the cavalry, and the Tatars who had rushed into the formation howled, frantically waving their scimitars, and even shooting arrows in their hands.

When the casualties finally appeared, a shield-bearer fell to the ground, and a spearman was killed.
