In the tens of thousands of eyes above and below the city wall, Zhao led 800 cavalry to rush out of the city gate and rushed into the darkness.

To tell the truth, this kind of battle in the dark can't distinguish between friend and foe at all, it can only be a chaotic battle, maybe there will be cannibalism, there will be great casualties on both sides of the enemy, and for Sun Chuanting, the most feared thing is casualties, and the most hopeful thing is Duizi, as long as it can repel this sneak attack of Jiannu, even if Zhao leads the entire army of the sect to be wiped out, it doesn't matter.

Taking advantage of the fact that Zhao led the sect to contain the Jiannu cavalry, more troops and civilians rushed out of the city gate and temporarily settled on the inner side of the moat near the city wall.

An hour later, all the soldiers and civilians in the area controlled by the Ming army withdrew, leaving only the defenders in the urn city and on the city wall, and the territory in the city had been completely abandoned. Sun Chuanting did not go out of the city, and set up the superintendent in the city tower, only on the city wall, can see the situation inside and outside the city, and it is convenient to command.

Sun Chuanting did not look outside the city at this moment, but looked beyond the burning city to the north, trying to see what Jiannu, who controlled the north city gate, was doing. Of course, he couldn't see so far clearly, but he was just thinking about what he would do at this moment if he was Huang Taiji?

The burning of the city made it impossible for the Ming army to gain a foothold in the city, and Jiannu must have been the same, at this moment Jiannu must have also withdrawn from the city, and most of the bannermen in the city must have been evacuated with Hannu.

If you have an elite cavalry in your hands, sending it out at this time will definitely bring great damage to Jiannu!

In the dark, no matter how strong the Eight Banners are, I am afraid they will not be able to intercept them, as long as they can rush into the banner people who are out of the city, they can create great chaos, and if they do not distinguish between the enemy and me in the dark, it is not easy to clean up at all.

When he thought of this, Sun Chuanting's face changed greatly, what he could think of, how could Huang Taiji not think of it?

When Sun Chuanting was about to give the order, the thunderous roar of horses' hooves sounded again, and countless cavalry rushed out of the darkness and swooped towards the military and civilian arrays outside the city.

Huang Taiji sent cavalry to attack again, this time with more cavalry!

The Ming army on the periphery tried to block the impact of the Jiannu cavalry, but the queue was easily broken up, and the Jiannu cavalry easily rushed into the army and civilians, wielding long knives and slashing wantonly.

Nearly 40,000 Ming troops withdrew from the city, plus an almost equal number of Han people, 70,000 or 80,000 people gathered in a narrow area between the moat and the city wall, extending from the south gate to the west gate controlled by the Ming army. In such a long area, there are flaws everywhere, and the Ming army can't defend it at all.

And the cavalry dispatched by Jiannu this time was at least four or five thousand. If it was daytime, it would be impossible for such cavalry to break through the Ming army's array, but now it is night, and the Ming army cannot form a defense in the dim light.

The cries of fighting and the outside of the city were chaotic, and the Jiannu cavalry roamed the moat. Sun Chuanting's hands and feet were cold, but there was nothing he could do.

Although there are still more than 10,000 troops in the city, and they are the most elite Yansui army, even if they are sent out at this time, they can only increase the chaos and have no effect at all.

"Overseer!" Zhang Cunren, who was guarding the side, subconsciously shouted, and Sun Chuanting came to his senses.

Now Sun Chuanting has nothing to do, all he can do is to boost morale!

Ordering someone to carry out the war drum from the city tower, Sun Chuanting picked up the drumstick and knocked it down.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

The rousing drums rang out, one after another, in the ears of everyone inside and outside the city walls, and everyone's hearts shook together.

Listening to the sound of drums, the panicked Ming soldiers were no longer panicked, and each hand held a weapon and began to gather, protecting his colleagues and people behind him.

Listening to the sound of drums, the Han people who were running around subconsciously stopped, no longer running, and stood behind the Ming army under the orders of the Ming army, standing against the city wall, giving up the battlefield to the Ming soldiers.

The drums became more and more intense, the hearts of all the soldiers beat faster and faster, and all the soldiers were unconsciously full of strength, each holding a weapon, and pounced on the rushing Jiannu cavalry, even if they were hit by the war horse!

There was no array, no one to command, but most of the soldiers were no longer afraid, and they did not hesitate to block the Jiannu cavalry with their flesh and blood!

These soldiers, there are Phi Dao soldiers, Xuanfu soldiers, and more Praetorian Guards.

The Praetorian Guard, a team established by the emperor himself, although the army was formed in a short time, it made countless feats!

It was they who suppressed King Fu's rebellion, it was they who strangled the peasant rebellion in northern Shaanxi in the bud, it was they who quelled the Xuanfu rebellion, sent troops to Zhangjiakou to sweep away the Mongolian tribes, and they were the first to rush into Liaodong, plough the court and sweep the holes, smashed the Yellow Dragon, and attacked the old capital of Jiannu, Hetuala, and made immortal achievements!

Although it has only been two years since the army was formed, this army already has its own pride! This pride made them feel ashamed of their fear just now, and this pride made them burst out with great strength, no matter how fierce the Jiannu cavalry was, they were not afraid at all!

One after another Praetorian Guard soldiers rushed towards the Jiannu cavalry, one by one they were knocked into the air, but the speed of the cavalry also slowed down, some soldiers jumped up and pulled the Jiannu on horseback off the horse, and the other soldiers swarmed up and tore the fallen Jiannu into slices!

The soldiers of the Ming army seemed to be crazy, blocking the gallop of the war horse with their bodies, they paid great casualties, and successfully prevented the killing of many Jiannu cavalry, and soon, the Jiannu cavalry who rushed into the Ming army array felt strong pressure and suffered great casualties, and finally the Jiannu cavalry could not bear it, and galloped out of the horse and escaped from the Ming army array.

One after another Jiannu cavalry were killed, many Jiannu cavalry did not dare to fight anymore, fled into the darkness, and finally the fighting stopped, and the commotion of the Ming army array outside the city also stopped. The drums grew quieter, and the blood in the Praetorian Guards' chests was no longer boiling so much. The Jiannu cavalry fled, and they did not cheer, but silently picked up their wounded comrades, bandaged their wounds, and closed their dead but still open eyes......

The drums finally stopped, the morning light lit up in the east, and three or four hundred cavalry walked slowly on the morning light, it was Zhao led his subordinates, and in the fierce battle in the middle of the night, there were only more than three hundred people left in the eight hundred cavalry.

Sun Chuanting finally got off the city wall and stood on the battlefield strewn with corpses, silent.

In this battle, nearly 20,000 soldiers and civilians were killed in the battle, and the corpses were almost covered between the walls and moats.

The battle of Liaodong is the most tragic of this battle!

Treat the wounded, bury pots and cook, carry corpses, and rely on the city walls to reorganize defenses.

A horse galloped over, bringing the news of Jiannu, Jiannu retired, one or two thousand Jiannu, protecting sixty or seventy thousand bannermen, had left Liaoyang, and set foot on the road to Shenyang.

Sun Chuanting listened silently and did not give the order to pursue, because the Ming army at this time was no longer able to fight.

The battle of Liaodong is finally over.
