"General Li, you lead the Fujian soldiers and horses to the left flank to help, you must stabilize the formation!"

Although Sun Bo did not have outstanding military exploits, he was a veteran for many years after all, and he had rich combat experience in the northwest border for many years.

At the first time, it was discovered that the soldiers of the old battalion on the left flank could not withstand the charge of the Mongolian iron cavalry, so Li Zhan, the guerrilla general of the Fujian Naval Division, led his troops and horses over to reinforce him.

"Yes, the last general obeys!"

Li Zan gave up his hand, turned around and shouted at the general behind him: "Brothers, it's time to witness the bravery of our Fujian people, beat this group of Tartars back, and you can't lose the face of Shao Sima's teaching!" ”

Shen Yichen founded the "Jiangwutang" in Fujian, which led to most of the officers of the Fujian Health Institute becoming his nominal "students".

Especially the Fujian sailors, it can be said that Shen Yichen single-handedly cultivated them from the brink of degeneration into the most powerful ocean-going fleet in the world.

In the battle between Liaodong and Tumubao, the Fujian Navy Division did not fight very well to be honest, and it was very unsuitable for large-scale corps and land battles. But people will grow, and the army will also be tempered by war, and they expect to prove their bravery in front of friendly troops and prove the bloody nature of Fujian men.

"Kill it!"

"For Shao Sima!"

"Fujian sailors crisscross the world, God is not afraid, will he be afraid of the Tartars?"

The Fujian Navy soldiers responded to Li Zhan's call with various shouts, and then rushed to the left flank of Xizhimen at the end of their lives, and fought fiercely with the Mongolian Tatar soldiers who came roaring.

The soldiers of the old battalion saw that the friendly troops in Fujian rushed over to help, and everyone took the lead bravely, and they were all fearless of death.

Morale is contagious, and the soldiers of the old battalion, who were on the verge of collapse, instantly felt an inexplicable surge of blood.

"You can't let the brothers in Fujian look down on you and kill the Tartars back!"

"With two shoulders and one head, are we born weak?"

"Think about the Xizhi Gate behind you, there are still parents, wives and children, can the city gate be lost in our hands?"

Compared with the Fujian Navy Division, most of the Beijing soldiers and the temporarily recruited Beizhili Qingzhuang, their fathers, old villagers, wives, sons and daughters, may live behind this Ming Jingshi.

The fall of Xizhimen and the breakthrough of the Beijing division mean that the parents, wives and children will be allowed to be raped and plundered by the Tartars, and the soldiers of the old battalion should have no way out than the Fujian sailors!

All kinds of roars rang out one after another, so that the left flank defense line, which was already dangerous, was forcibly stabilized under the impact of the Mongol cavalry. Even after the war horse lost speed, the Fujian Navy Division, together with the soldiers of the old battalion, launched a wave of counter-charge against the Tartars.

"What's going on with Unger, can't this break down the defense line of the Southern Barbarians?"

Faced with the situation of victory in sight, he was beaten back by the defenders of Xizhimen, and he was simply angry and scolded the Mongolian generals who led the army.

Anger listened to the reprimand, the expression on his face was extremely ashamed, he didn't expect the Ming army to resist so tenaciously, the seemingly wasteful Xizhimen general Sun Bo, did not expect to be greedy for life and afraid of death, on the contrary, he also dispatched troops very quickly.

Looking at Unger and not daring to reply, Tokhtobuhua understood that no matter how angry he reprimanded, it was pointless, so he could only turn his gaze to his half-brother Manduru on the other side.

"Mandulu, you lead Ben Khan's cowardly Xue army, you must break the Ming army's defense line and capture Xizhimen!"

At this point, there was no way out of the battle, and he had to capture the gate of the capital division first, so as to be recognized by the Mongol tribes. Otherwise, the withdrawal of troops in such a disgraced manner would deal a fatal blow to the already low prestige of the Great Khan.

The cowardly Xue army, the personal guard of the Mongolian Great Khan, is the last bargaining chip in his hand.

"Yes, Great Khan!"

Although Mandulu and Tokhtarbuhua are not the same mother's compatriots, the relationship between the two is very good, even surpassing that of the half-brother Agabarzi.

Faced with the order to take off the flowers, Mandulu did not hesitate at all, turned around and rode his horse to the 10,000 cowardly Xue army that had been waiting for a long time.

"As the personal guard of the Great Khan of Mongolia, the most brave son of the steppe, now is the time for you to trample on the Ming Jingshi."

"Only by taking this once great imperial capital, reproducing the glory of Genghis Khan, and proving the nobility of the golden family's bloodline, can you truly be worthy of the title of Emperor Dayuan's cowardly Xue Jun!"

"Rush over and kill the Army of Light!"

After that, Mandulu's saber pointed straight in the direction of Xizhi Gate.

"Eternal Heaven bless!"

The soldiers of the cowardly Xue army shouted the battle call of the Mongolian army, which can be described as boiling blood.

Since the Watt Thorn tribe became strong, their "Imperial Forest Army", which once belonged to Emperor Dayuan, no longer had the honor they used to have, and they were even despised and humiliated by the soldiers of other tribes.

Now with the blessing of the equipment of the Ming army, the cowardly Xue army of the Tatar Department has finally become strong again, and it is time to use the capital of the Ming Kingdom to restore the glory of the past!

The war horses galloped, the earth was shaken, and the 10,000 cowardly Xue army didn't even have the interest of attacking the flank, and directly killed Sun Bo's Zhongjun sitting in Xizhimen, intending to behead the enemy's main general in one fell swoop and end the battle.

Seeing that another group of Mongolian troops were attacking, and judging from the armor stomach equipment, it was more sophisticated than the previous one, and the expression on the face of Sun Bo, the right governor, was extremely solemn, and even subconsciously glanced at the city gate behind him.

"Form a formation and protect Sun Dudu!"

Sun Bo's subtle movement was keenly captured by Li Da, who was standing beside him.

You must know that Guangning City, where the Liaodong Metropolitan Division was stationed, was captured by the Tatar and Jurchen tribes, the reason was that Cao Yi, the general soldier of Liaodong, retreated and chose to abandon the city and flee, so that he was chased and killed by the Mongols all the way, and almost did not wipe out the Liaodong command core.

Now if Sun Bo has the heart to escape, then it will deal a fatal blow to the soldiers on the battlefield of Xizhimen. No matter how heroic they were, how much they sacrificed their lives to defend their homeland and country, it was impossible for them to remain indifferent in the face of the Lord's flight.

Once the defense line collapses and scatters and flees, even if the Xizhi Gate is wide open, the narrow part of the door hole is very prone to stampede and congestion. As a result, they were chased and slaughtered by the Tatar iron horsemen, and everyone waited to be slaughtered like lambs, and there was no longer the power to resist.

In order to avoid this situation, it is necessary to stabilize Sun Bo, which is why Li Da preemptively ordered to protect the main general.

Even if Sun Bo is really a coward who is afraid of death, as long as he is still on the battlefield, the army's spirit will not be scattered, and the formation will not be chaotic!

"Protect Sun Dudu!"

Zhang Qi understood what Li Da meant, and also loudly beckoned the Ming soldiers on both wings to shrink the formation, and gave Sun Bo to the inner and outer three layers, firmly guarding the center of the formation.

After the formation was set, the Mongolian iron cavalry was already close to the late foot, compared to the previous enemy, the cowardly Xue army even wore dark vests, like heavy chariots, and rushed towards the defenders of Xizhimen.

"Liaodong Army, meet the enemy!"

"Jingying, meet the enemy!"

"Fujian Army, meet the enemy!"

The generals of all sides felt the unusualness of the Mongol cavalry on the opposite side, and they all beckoned their deployment to prepare for the final battle.

Rows of spears were aimed at the Mongolian cavalry, and even the battle shields that the Ming army was rarely equipped with were taken out at this moment and plunged into the ground. It's just that even so, in the face of the charge of the heavy cavalry, it is still a little weak.

After a burst of people turned on their backs, the soldiers who resisted the front row were almost instantly drowned in the wave of iron horses.

And this time, the defenders of Xizhimen, who had experienced several rounds of Mongol attacks, failed to withstand the attack of the cowardly Xue army.

The collapse of the formation caused the Ming army to no longer be able to restrain the repeated charges of the Mongol cavalry, and countless Ming warriors died tragically under the enemy's blade. Even Li Da, Li Zan and other high-level generals are leading their guards to fight fiercely at this moment, just to delay the time when the city gate is captured as much as possible.

"Cheng Xibai, the soldiers can't bear it anymore, please open the city gate and let us retreat!"

Faced with this critical situation, Sun Bo could only loudly send a letter to the military headquarters above the city gate to send a mid-range message to the middle of the matter!

Don't look at it as just a seven-rank civil official in the matter, but he has the power to directly impeach hundreds of officials, which is called "refutation". In addition, it is also supervised by the three provinces of the two capitals and the thirteen provinces, and is collectively known as the branch of the Taoist language.

Cheng Xin is not only a science and technology official, but also serves as the responsibility of supervising the army, and his choice will determine the life and death of tens of thousands of Ming soldiers under the city gate!

To open the gates, or not to open them?

At this time, if the city gate is opened, it will definitely be impossible for the defeated Ming soldiers to retreat in an orderly manner, and a swarm of swarms into the city will block the passage of the city gate.

Taking a step back, even if there is no congestion and trampling, then who will stop the Mongol army from following into the city, and how should the open Xizhi Gate be closed?

Answer: Obviously, if Cheng Xin doesn't want to be the culprit of the fall of Jingshi, then he can't open the city gates!

"Fire!"

When it came to the survival of the family and country, the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty also showed the toughness of the literati.

Cheng Xin did not pay attention to Sun Bo's request to open the city gate and retreat, but instead shouted at the defenders on the city wall and opened fire.

There are several cannons on the wall of Xizhimen, but the soldiers and horses of the two sides are mixed together, and the defenders of the city tower are afraid of accidentally injuring friendly troops, so they have not dared to use cannons and other firearms to support, after all, the firearms of this era are not accurate at all.

But now, if we don't use firearms, I'm afraid it will still be the fate of the total annihilation. Even if he is infamous in the future, even if he is hostile to the soldiers of Xizhimen, Cheng Xin is worthy of asking himself!

The rumbling cannon fire rang out, and one after another cannonballs were fired towards the bottom of the city wall, and the dense formation was instantly plowed out of a bloody path. At the same time, Fan Guang, the governor of the Shenji Battalion, gathered a group of Shenji Battalion troops under the order of Yu Qian, and stood on the city tower to shoot at the enemy under the city with firecrackers and rockets.

It's just that Yu Qian reorganized his troops and horses before, and changed the three battalions of the Beijing Division to ten battalions, and the Shenji Battalion has actually been reduced to an empty shell, and the remaining soldiers and firearms are basically better than nothing, and they can't affect the trend of the battle situation at all.

In the face of the defeat of his own soldiers, he watched his sons and daughters resist bravely. Sun Bo, who had been thinking about retreating to the city, realized that there was no way back, and the swaying in his eyes completely faded.

"Soldiers, it is impossible to open the city gates, and if you want to survive, you can only kill the Tartars."

"If you advance, you will live, if you retreat, you will die, and you will live and die with you!"

At this moment, Sun Bo finally showed his bloody nature as a general, pulled out his steel knife and rushed towards the enemy in front of him, starting a desperate struggle.

In an instant, Xizhimen was like a hell on earth, with the stumps and broken arms brought by the artillery fire, and the neighing of people and horses brought by the killing, all mixed together.

Life has become the least valuable thing at the moment!

"Taishi, it's really a waste to take off and not spend, the cowardly Xue army is on it, and he hasn't taken Xizhimen yet!"

Boluo Mao Luohai, the general of the Tile Spur Division, who was watching the battle from a distance, said in a somewhat contemptuous tone.

The attack of the Eighth Route Army made the Ming Guojing Division anxious, and it had created the best siege conditions for Tokhtar Buhua, but he did not expect the Tatar Department to be unable to attack for a long time.

"The defenders of Xizhimen are at the end of the crossbow, and they can't resist for long."

Taishi also maintained the calmness of the boss first, after all, Jingshi was the imperial capital of the Ming Kingdom, and it was actually very normal to fight for several hours or even days. It can only be said that the great victory in the battle of Tumubao made the Mongols full of contempt for the Ming army, thinking that they could easily break through the defense line of the Han people.

"Taishi, why don't I lead my troops to attack Xizhimen and leave the work of breaking the city in the Tile Spur Department!"

Bo Luo Mao Luohai's tone was full of eagerness to try, and he was the first to capture the prestige of the Ming Dynasty's Jingshi, why did he give it up to Toktobu Buhua, just because he had a good ancestor and had the blood of the golden family?

There is also an old saying among the Han people, which is called that the prince will have a kind of Xiangning, and now the Taishi is the real leader of the Mongolian tribes.

Winning the credit for the capture of the Ming Kingdom, why can't he become the new Mongol Great Khan?

It can be said that at this time, even the Taishi can still maintain restraint on the power throne, and the generals of the Tile Spur Department can't hold it anymore and want to add to his yellow robe.

"It's too much, just watch the detachment and not spend the attack."

Just like the reason for attacking Deshengmen, the Xizhimen battlefield also can't put so many soldiers and horses.

Now letting Boromo Luohai lead the Tile Thorn troops and horses to grab the merit means that it will provoke the resistance of the Tatar tribe, and make the two sides, which are not very good, cause a bigger rift, and even a conflict on the spot.

He also had a desire and reluctance for the Mongolian throne in his heart, but he knew better that it was far from the time to celebrate. It would be foolish for the enemy to cause internal chaos for the sake of petty profits.

In addition, there is also an indescribable hidden intuition in his heart, that is, he always feels that the current situation of Xizhimen has not yet reached the limit of the Jingshi Ming army, and the other party may have a backhand.

Just in case, he arranged for Boluo Mao Luohai to reserve a team of soldiers and horses to prepare for the war, so that there would be no changes in the battle situation.

In a sense, Yexian's battlefield intuition was correct, and even the Ming army's rear hand exceeded his expectations.

Andingmen Shi Heng became more and more courageous, and his nephew Shi Biao two battle axes, like the reincarnation of the god of war, into the enemy formation as if into no man's land, and forced the sheep to attack the Mongolian army of Andingmen to kill back......

This retreat gave Shi Heng of Andingmen the strength to come to the aid of Xizhimen, where Sun Bo was stationed.

At the far end of the battlefield on the other side, a cavalry unit belonging to the Ming Dynasty appeared. The general who rode his horse and stood at the forefront was none other than Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, who was robbed of his title and questioned for his crimes!

At this moment, his silver hair and white beard were swayed by the autumn wind, followed by several close generals, including the deputy general Xue Shou, the second son Zhu Ji, and the captain of the personal guard Wu Rui and others.

Cheng Guogong Zhu Yong's gaze did not look at the direction of the Jingshi that was full of flames, but looked at the Mongolian army camp!
