"Someone, put on armor for General Ben!"

Soon the well-dressed Hulim gathered his guards, and the desolate trumpet sounded, and the Tatar soldiers in the city, who had been bewildered by the sudden siege, heard the trumpet and immediately rode their fast horses in the direction of the trumpet.

It was just a cup of tea, and more than 2,000 soldiers gathered around Hulimu.

It can be said that in addition to the Tatar soldiers stationed on the surrounding city walls, the nearly 3,000 soldiers in the city have already come by this time.

After a simple count of the people, Hu Limu roared in a low voice: "All the soldiers, follow me to meet the Ming army!" Let them know how good my Tartar horsemen are. ”

While speaking, Hu Limu first rode along the street and headed straight in the direction of the North City Gate.

The streets barely accommodated several horses in parallel, and when thousands of horsemen rode their horses, the earth shook, and many people in the city of Taiyuan were alarmed, and many dared to look out through the cracks in the door, just in time to see the Tatar army galloping on the long street.

The Tatar cavalry went straight to the north city gate, and soon before they reached the north city gate, most of the north city gate city walls had fallen at this time, and more and more Ming soldiers appeared on the city walls.

There were 500 Tatars stationed on the city walls, and there are probably less than 200 people still alive at this time.

There was even a rumbling sound at the city gate, obviously the Ming soldiers and horses were storming the city gate.

Dozens of Tatar soldiers blocked the city gate with a horizontal log, but if the crash continued, I am afraid that it would not be long before the gate collapsed.

Hu Limu, who came on horseback, only saw the figures of the Ming soldiers everywhere on the city wall by the light of the fire, and he felt a little anxious in his heart, and shouted at the soldiers at the city gate: "Quick, open the city gate!" ”

When he saw Hulimu, the eyes of the soldiers guarding the city flashed with excitement, and he was stunned when he heard Hulimu's order to open the city gate, and he quickly reacted, although he was very surprised in his heart, but out of obedience to Hulimu's order, dozens of soldiers worked hard to lift the horizontal wood down, and in an instant, the city gate opened, and the Ming soldiers who were originally congested at the city gate poured into the city along the open city gate.

"Shoot me!"

Not far from the city gate, Hu Limu gave an order, and suddenly saw a rain of arrows shooting towards the soldiers who poured into the city gate.

The unsuspecting Ming soldiers suddenly fell down, and the wails were heard endlessly.

Hu Limu sneered, waved his big hand and said, "Give me a rush!" ”

Suddenly, I saw Hu Limu coming straight to the Ming soldiers who were pouring in from outside the city, and the scimitar in his hand was raised high.

Xu Tianzuo, who was commanding the siege of the city in the middle of the army, watched a famous soldier climb the city wall, and there were almost no Tatars on the city wall, Xu Tianzuo's face showed a little lighthearted.

You must know that he made a military order to Chu Yi, and if he said that he couldn't take Taiyuan City, he was willing to be dealt with by military law.

Even if Chu Yi values him again, he makes a military order in front of everyone, even if Chu Yi opens up at that time, he will lose face and lose his majesty in the army.

Therefore, Xu Tianzuo attaches great importance to this battle, and seeing more and more soldiers on the city wall, Xu Tianzuo knows that Taiyuan City is about to be broken.

At this time, cheers came from the direction of the city gate, and when he heard the sound, Xu Tianzuo, who was not too far from the city gate, saw the city gate open.

Although he was a little surprised at how the city gate was breached so quickly, just as he ordered the army to enter through the city gate, a miserable scream came, which immediately made Xu Tianzuo's eyes narrow.

The earth shook slightly, Xu Tianzuo was also a family scholar, and he immediately realized a situation, and his expression changed slightly: "Not good, Tatar cavalry!" ”

The Tatar cavalry came on horseback, and there were quite a few of them, otherwise it would never have been possible to make such a big move.

Looking in the direction of the city gate, Xu Tianzuo's eyes showed a bit of appreciation.

It was obviously an appreciation for the Tatar generals in the city, after all, for the Tatars, the best choice was to go out of the city with cavalry.

If you really choose to defend Taiyuan City, the Tatars who are under the raid will definitely not be able to defend Taiyuan City. What's more critical is that the cavalry is in the city, and the strength of one body is limited, and it is already quite good to be able to exert half of the combat power.

Cavalry fighting in the field is the most correct choice, and the Tatar generals can choose to go out of the city so decisively, which naturally makes Xu Tianzuo look at him differently.

Although it was somewhat unexpected for the Tatars to leave the city, Xu Tianzuo had already had various countermeasures before attacking the city.

At the moment, this situation is still in its preparations, although it is slightly surprised, it is not unprepared.

Seeing the Tatar cavalry rushing out of the city gate, it was like a torrent, and the soldiers in front of it struggled to resist the Tatar cavalry.

"Heralds, stumbling horses, rain of arrows!"

The benefits of preparing in advance are reflected at this moment, even if there are only a dozen tripwires prepared by Xu Tianzuo in advance, but in this dark night, the Tatars are not prepared at all.

As soon as he rushed out of the city gate, and was about to gallop his horse, he saw the chains in front of him being pulled up violently.

More than a dozen triphorse ropes were suddenly pulled up, and suddenly I saw the charging war horses fall to the ground one by one, making a palpitating sound of fractures.

Almost in the blink of an eye, dozens of Tatar cavalry rushing to the front fell to the ground, while thousands of archers lying in ambush at the city gate fired arrows in unison.

By the light of the fire at the city gate, the archers around him didn't even have to aim, they only needed to cover the area at the city gate.

Although there are still some Ming soldiers at the gate of the city, most of those famous soldiers have been killed on the spot or trampled to death by war horses under the impact of the Tatar cavalry, and there are not many who can really survive.

It is precisely because of this that Xu Tianzuo ordered a rain of arrows to cover, and saw a rain of arrows falling, and he originally rushed out of the city gate to meet a series of tripwires, followed by a rain of arrows.

The Tatars were still a little stunned for a moment, and many of the soldiers were either killed by falling from their horses or being shot by a rain of arrows.

In the blink of an eye, at least one or two hundred Tatar cavalry fell to the ground.

Such a scene really frightened many of the Tatar pawns who rushed out, and many of the Tatar pawns almost instinctively wanted to stop the horses under them.

After all, the dense arrows in front of you are so scary that any normal person will react in the same way.

However, when they saw that scene, they tried to stop the horses under them from continuing to rush forward, but behind them, a steady stream of Tatar cavalry had just started running, but they did not know what was happening in front of them, and the result could be imagined.

When the cavalry in front tried to stop, the outstretched horses collided headlong.

Suddenly, there was chaos among hundreds of soldiers, many of the horses fell directly to the ground, and some Tatar soldiers escaped by rolling on the ground with their skillful experience.

However, these Tatar pawns who narrowly escaped were in for a nightmare.

There was a loud bang overhead, and a rain of arrows covered it again.

Hundreds of more Tatar soldiers were shot down.

As a Tatar general, Hulimu was not at the forefront of the impact, so there was no Hulim among the Tatars who were killed by tripping horses and arrows in the first two waves.

At this moment, Hu Limu looked at the arrows outside the city gate with a pale face, dense and daunting.

Instinctively, Hu Limu rolled over and jumped up, and the war horse under him rushed out, while he himself fell in the air towards the city gate.

A rain of arrows fell, and the hundreds of cavalry soldiers who rushed out were almost killed by the rain of arrows in an instant.

Hu Limu, who escaped the catastrophe, instinctively shouted: "Stop, everyone stop me!" ”

However, its roar could not be transmitted far in the chaos, even if some nearby soldiers heard Hulimu's roar, but it was difficult for them to control the war horses under them to stop in a short time, and they could only rush to the dead place outside the city gate.

Seeing his soldiers being shot and killed, Hu Limu's heart was dripping blood, you must know that these soldiers are all his clansmen.

Hulim was not only a Tatar commander, but also a tribal leader of a medium-sized tribe, and almost all of his soldiers were his men.

If it was just dozens or hundreds of people killed and injured, then it would be fine, but now in the blink of an eye, hundreds of people were killed and injured.

The most important thing is that these dead and wounded soldiers are the elite under his command, after all, when charging, it is his personal guards and some of the most elite soldiers in the army who rush to the front.

As a result, these soldiers rushed the fastest, but they died the fastest.

Hundreds of the most elite soldiers died outside the city gate, Hu Limu was in pain, his eyes swept away, by the light of the fire, Hu Limu's eyes lit up, he rolled on the spot, pulled the horn on one of the soldiers, and then blew the horn.

Suddenly, the desolate sound of the horn echoed in the night sky, and the Tatar soldiers in the city who were constantly charging couldn't help but be stunned when they heard the horn, and instinctively controlled the horses under them to slow down their speed.

Originally, there were more than 2,000 soldiers, most of whom had not had time to run, but they stopped easily, and some of them had no time to stop and could only rush out of the city gate and rush to the land of death.

A dozen tripwires were completely useless at this point, after all, hundreds of cavalry were dead there, and even if there were tripwires, relying on the corpses of war horses and Tatar soldiers was enough to reduce the effect of tripping horses.

However, these war horses and Tatar corpses also became an obstacle for many Tatar cavalry who rushed out of the city, and most of the archers of Xu Tianzuo's timely generals were drawn over to block the city gate.

Not only bows and arrows, but also crossbows, firecrackers and other weapons were requisitioned, and the gates of the city were blocked to death, and the Tatar cavalry was never given a chance to leave the city.

Xu Tianzuo knew very well that the soldiers under his command did not have much experience in fighting cavalry at all, and once the Tatar cavalry launched a charge, even if it could really be blocked at that time, I am afraid that it would have to pay a lot of price.

He wanted a perfect result, not a breach of the city of Taiyuan, but he left the Tatars in the city and suffered heavy casualties himself.

As Hulimu stopped the cavalry from continuing out of the city with the sound of his horn in time, the suicidal charge at the city gate finally stopped.

In a short time, there was a pile of corpses at the gate of the city, and at least no less than four or five hundred Tatar soldiers were killed and wounded.

Pained wails rang from the pile of corpses heaped by horses and Tatar soldiers.

After all, many of these soldiers did not die on the spot, some of them were crushed by war horses, or they were hit by arrows, as long as they were not vital parts, they would not choke their breath all at once, and many of them were there to wail.

Desperately fleeing back to the city, Hulimu had an arrow stuck in his shoulder, and the hat on his head had long since been lost somewhere.

The remaining Tatars, about two thousand or so, looked at the embarrassed Hurim in horror.

Everyone is looking at the open city gate, the fire outside the city gate is flickering, and you can vaguely see the shadows all around, needless to say that there must be a large number of Ming troops in ambush outside the city gate.

An adjutant general said to Hulimu: "General, what should we do?" ”

The road out of the city was obviously blocked, and they had to cross that dead end if they wanted to get out of the city, but the waves of dead and wounded made them realize that even if they really let go, they were afraid that if they finally rushed out of the city, it would be good if half of the remaining centaurs could survive.

Two thousand, and only one thousand survived, but this was unacceptable to them.

There are only 1,000 cavalry left, and they can't set off any storms at all, and if they are not careful, they may be surrounded and killed by the Ming soldiers and horses.

Hu Limu gritted his teeth and said: "The cunning Ming army actually took precautions early, since the strength of the Ming army at the north gate is so strong, then the other city gates will definitely not have such a strong defense, we rushed out from the other city gates." ”

As he spoke, Hu Limu pulled out the arrow above his shoulder, turned on his horse, and shouted: "Immortal Heaven bless, sons, follow me out of the city!" ”

Hu Limu led the remaining more than 2,000 soldiers to run the horse through the long street and went straight to the south gate.

The actions of these Tatars naturally could not escape the eyes of the people outside the city, and everyone only saw the Tatar army quickly disappearing at the city gate, and immediately reported the situation to Xu Tianzuo.

Xu Tianzuo frowned when he heard the news, and muttered softly: "I actually took the initiative to retreat!" ”

I thought that the Tatars would risk their lives to continue to storm the city gate, but I didn't expect the other party to take the initiative to retreat, but Xu Tianzuo raised his eyebrows and said, "It's cheap Sun Qiu." ”

While speaking, Xu Tianzuo said: "Send a signal to General Sun, inform him of the whereabouts of the Tatars, and ask him to intercept the Tatars!" ”

In order to prevent the Tatars from escaping, Chu Yi arranged for Xu Tianzuo to be in charge of the siege of the city, while Sun Qiu was in charge of defending the remaining three city gates.

At this time, Sun Qiu was sitting at the south gate, he led 10,000 horses to come, and he arranged 3,000 soldiers and horses at the east gate and west gate, and he personally led 4,000 soldiers and horses to sit at the south gate.

Xu Tianzuo chose to attack the city from the north gate, Sun Qiu could only gamble, with his understanding of Xu Tianzuo, it was impossible for the Tatars to get out of the city from the north gate, and Xu Tianzuo would never give the Tatars a chance.

Then the Tatars were either all annihilated by Xu Tianzuo at the north gate, or they retreated into the city and chose a city gate to escape.

There are three gates, and no one can guarantee which one the Tatars will choose, so it's a matter of luck.

A firework suddenly burst into the air, and it was clearly visible in the night sky.

Sun Qiu, who had originally led the soldiers to ambush outside the city gate, couldn't help but light up his eyes.

I think that he and Xu Tianzuo were ambushed outside Nanjing, but King Ning fell into the hands of Tang Li.

Now Sun Qiu once again led the soldiers and horses to ambush, although it is said that what is waiting is not such a big fish as King Ning, but if he is lucky, he can take down this captain in the city, it can be regarded as a great achievement.

At that time, even if Xu Tianzuo broke through Taiyuan City, and he took Hulimu, he would be able to make fun of Xu Tianzuo in front of Xu Tianzuo, wouldn't he?

Outside the other two city gates, the two guerrilla generals were also cheered up when they saw the fireworks in the sky.

Xu Tianzuo waved his hand and said: "The army enters the city, clears the Tatar people, strictly enforces military discipline, anyone who takes advantage of the chaos to disturb the people, once it is found, there will be no mercy!" ”

Originally, the Tatar soldiers on the city wall had already been killed at this time, and on the city wall, thousands of Ming soldiers were entering the city from the city wall, so it was no wonder that Hu Limu chose to leave.

After all, the North City Gate is already gone, even if he stays at the North City Gate, it is useless, and he will even fall into the encirclement.

A large number of soldiers entered the city, and some Tatars were killed on the spot once they were discovered.

But it is said that many people in the city listened to the faint sound of fighting in fear, and their hearts were terrified, although they did not know exactly what happened, but everyone could still guess that a big war could break out, and if nothing else, it must be the imperial army that came back.

These days, the people of Taiyuan City, who have been bullied by the Tatars and the Miao family, the Lu family and other families who have taken refuge in the Tatars, are holding back a breath in their hearts, eagerly looking forward to the imperial army being able to break through Taiyuan City.

Suddenly, the shouting of killing suddenly rose a lot, and it was getting closer and closer, and it had begun to enter Taiyuan City, and at this time a fool could guess that the imperial army had broken through the city gate and had already entered the city.

Some of the surviving children of big families showed excitement on their faces, and subconsciously clenched their fists and murmured: Master Wang is here, Master Wang is here!

But it was said that the Miao family, the Lu family and several others were suddenly awakened in the middle of the night, and the movement of the siege was not small at all, if the Miao family and the Lu family could not even detect this movement, I am afraid that they have already been torn apart by the people in the city who hate them to the bone.
