However, Sun Qiu stood there steadily, did not take a step back, and commanded his subordinates calmly, and his banner stood there unwaveringly, stabilizing the morale of the army.

Although some of the soldiers were a little flustered and showed signs of collapse when they were rushed into the battle by the Tatars, when Sun Qiu's voice came from behind them, these panicked soldiers gritted their teeth one by one and persevered.

As the so-called general is the courage of the soldiers, for an army, the role played by the generals is still quite important, especially in this situation of occupying an extremely favorable general situation, the morale of the soldiers is not bad, as long as the generals in the army themselves do not make mistakes, then the combat power of the army can still be brought into play normally.

Although it is said that the Tatar cavalry was blocked from charging into battle, the soldiers in front suffered heavy casualties, and many soldiers had the idea of escaping in their hearts, but the latter was where Sun Qiu, the main general, was, Sun Qiu did not move, and the military spirit would not waver.

"Soldiers, General Suiben will not be able to let them get out of the way if he stops these Tatars!"

Just now, after Sun Qiu thoroughly determined the number of Tatar soldiers who rushed out of the city, he decisively sent a signal for help.

As the main general, Sun Qiu had already ordered the soldiers and horses outside the east and west gates to be urgently summoned.

With the distance between the two city gates and the south city gate, at most it is a tea effort, I believe that reinforcements from the two places will arrive.

Hu Limu naturally noticed the fireworks that exploded in the air, Hu Limu is not a fool, how is it not clear, this must be the way of the Ming side to gather reinforcements.

There is not much time left for them, if they can't rush out before the Ming reinforcements arrive, once the Ming reinforcements arrive, then they will really fall into the encirclement of the army.

Once the cavalry loses its speed advantage and falls into the encirclement of the foot soldiers, even if it is an elite cavalry, then there is only one result.

I have to say that once the Tatars are desperate, it is very terrifying, a famous soldier is killed, but behind him is a steady stream of soldiers rushing into battle.

Sun Qiu's men only had 4,000 soldiers and horses, but they had to block the impact of more than 2,000 cavalry, which was definitely a great test for a group of soldiers.

Even though the archers on both sides were always trying to shoot arrows, the cavalry under Hulimu also divided a part of their men and horses to rush towards the archers.

From the beginning, they had a certain advantage, and when the archers and firearms could not suppress these Tatars who rushed desperately, the two sides were in a state of anxiety.

In the end, the archers and firecrackers arranged by Sun Qiu still played a certain role.

At least hundreds of people were shot directly on the spot, and the number of Tatars who were not injured was probably less than a thousand, and the rest were more or less wounded.

However, the Ming side also paid an extremely heavy price.

The Tatars rushed out of the city, the two sides fired at each other, plus the cavalry rushed into battle, and to be honest, the casualties of the Ming soldiers were also very large.

The two sides fought for only half a pillar of incense, and there were no less than five or six hundred soldiers killed and wounded, which was only a little less than that of the Tatars.

Sun Qiu took the lead, waving the spear in his hand while shouting: "Soldiers, hold on to me, reinforcements will arrive soon!" ”

If it weren't for Sun Qiu's morale boosting there, plus all the soldiers knew that the reinforcements would be killed soon, so these soldiers didn't collapse.

For any of these troops, once the damage reaches as much as two or three percent, it is not easy to not collapse

The Tatars suffered nearly a thousand casualties, almost forty percent, but they did not collapse because the Tatars had no other choice.

They only rushed out desperately, otherwise, they only had a dead end, so let alone more than a thousand dead and wounded, even if they fought to the last person, they would not collapse, because if they didn't fight, there would only be a dead end. There may still be a chance to survive under the fight, but once it collapses, it will not even have a chance to live.

Sun Qiu watched as his soldiers tried their best to keep the team from collapsing, but in the face of the crazy onslaught of the Tatar cavalry, everyone still involuntarily slowly retreated.

It can be said that under the onslaught of the Tatars, the army has not collapsed, which is already quite good, at least to be able to fight to such an extent, which is already beyond Sun Qiu's expectations.

Sun Qiu could only pray in his heart that the reinforcements from the east and west gates could come as quickly as possible, that was a new force of as many as 6,000, once the reinforcements arrived, not only the last breath of the Tatars would dissipate, but the Ming side would inevitably have high morale and completely cut off the hope of the Tatars escaping.

Hu Limu roared again and again, every time he waved the scimitar in his hand, he could always take the life of a Ming soldier, but what made Hu Limu desperate in his heart was that at a glance, there were all the figures of the Ming soldiers in front of him, but there were fewer and fewer soldiers behind him.

After the battle at this time, the cavalry behind Hu Limu has almost been reduced to more than 1,000 people, which is only a stick of incense, and it has been reduced by more than half.

Before I knew it, the sky was bright, and it was almost dawn.

Seeing a firelight in the distance gradually approaching, seeing the approaching firelight, Sun Qiu couldn't help but be overjoyed, and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, reinforcements are coming, reinforcements are coming!" ”

The Ming soldiers, who were already at the end of the crossbow, suddenly heard the words and couldn't help but have a sudden increase in morale, and even killed a counter-charge, blocking the Tatar charging stone at once.

By this time, the Tatars had completely lost the mobility of their cavalry, and had been completely reduced to mounted infantry, at most on horseback.

In this way, the greatest threat to the Tatars is gone, unless they can distance themselves and charge again, otherwise, they can only fight less and less, and finally be killed one by one.

"General, the end will come to help!"

"Doomsday help!"

Almost one after the other, in the blink of an eye, two teams of men appeared, which were reinforcements from the direction of the east and west gates.

The two or two support armies added up to more than 6,000 living troops, although they came in a hurry, but for these soldiers, they were not very tired, and they rushed up at once, and almost immediately completed the encirclement of the remnants of the Tatars.

Hu Limu's heart was full of despair, and he was about to kill the Ming army formation, as long as they could kill the army formation, then they could escape.

Even if they lose Taiyuan City, they will at least save their lives, and they can go to meet Balsborough when the time comes.

But now, the Ming side is surrounded by them, completely cutting off their hope of escaping from the ascension.

When the reinforcements arrived, it could be said that the overall situation was decided, and unless there was some miracle, the Tatars were completely defeated in this battle.

Sun Qiu slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, and his gaze fell on Hu Limu.

From the news of Jinyiwei, Sun Qiu and other generals actually knew that it was the Tatar commander Hu Limu who was sitting in Taiyuan City.

Judging from Hu Limu's performance when he rushed into battle, Sun Qiu was naturally able to determine Hu Limu's identity.

Now that they were surrounded, the Tatars suddenly calmed down, no longer rushing as desperately as they were, trying to break through the formation and escape.

"Hulimu!"

Sun Qiu shouted, and Hu Limu looked at Sun Qiu.

Sun Qiu drove forward, almost a few feet away from Hu Limu, Sun Qiu stopped and looked at Hu Limu and said: "Hu Limu, I advise you to tie your hands and arrest it, otherwise, as soon as the general gives the order, he will shoot all the others here." ”

More than 2,000 archers around him have already locked on about a thousand Tatars around Hulimu, so it can be said that as long as Sun Qiu gives an order, then under the cover of arrow rain, at most there will be a few waves of arrow rain down, and there are few Tatars who keep these Tatars alive.

Some Tatars looked at Hulimu with a panicked look, it was for survival before, so they could fight hard without fear of life and death, but after calming down at this time, since it is impossible to rush out, as long as they want to live, there is naturally only one way to surrender, so some Tatars naturally hope that Hulimu can surrender.

Hu Limu glanced at Sun Qiu and said slowly: "Who are you, why did you suddenly appear here, and what happened to His Highness Baars?" ”

Regarding the origin of Sun Qiu and others, even at this time, Hu Limu still couldn't figure out what was going on.

From the beginning, he was stunned, after all, in his opinion, now Balsborough is besieging the capital of the Ming Dynasty, even if there are still soldiers and horses in the Ming Dynasty, it should be transferred to King Qin.

However, tens of thousands of troops appeared in Taiyuan City, and they also forcibly attacked the city.

After all, Hu Limu's military literacy is still there, and he can judge that the number of Ming soldiers who are attacking the city this time will definitely not be less than tens of thousands.

There are no less than 10,000 Ming soldiers in the direction of the North City Gate alone, and now there are as many as 10,000 people in Sun Qiu's first department, and there are as many as 20,000 Ming soldiers he has seen alone, not including what he has not seen, and it is precisely because of this that Hu Limu is so curious.

What kind of person is it, who did not go to King Qin when the Ming Jingshi was attacked, but ran to attack Taiyuan City, can it be said that the general does not know that Taiyuan City is important, and it cannot be compared with Beijing City?

Sun Qiu's eyes showed a bit of reverence, and he arched his hand towards the south and said: "This time, the chief manager is personally in charge, and when you enter the Central Plains, then don't leave!" ”

Hu Limu's expression changed when he heard this, he can be regarded as a high-level Tatar, naturally he knows more about the Central Plains Dynasty than ordinary Tatars, so the other Tatars looked puzzled, while Hu Limu knew Chu Yi's identity and Chu Yi's status in the Ming Dynasty.
