However, they clearly underestimated the situation in the city.

The soldiers of the 5,000 Shenji battalion were lined up in five echelons.

It was only the first echelon that was shot just now.

Now the second echelon of flintlock muskets is on top of the queue, and aiming at the Mongol soldiers who are climbing the ladder is to shoot with a bang.

After a salvo.

The half-crawling Mongol soldier was shot and fell from mid-air.

Hundreds more were killed and wounded.

Then there is the third echelon.

Bang bang......

"General, it's not good!" The attacking soldiers retreated to Zarbach's side and said, "The Ming army has strong firepower. ”

"I see it."

Zalbak also saw a strange scene on the city wall.

He also did not think that there were many defenders at this time, but occupied the advantage of the firearms of the flintlock pistol.

But he couldn't bear that kind of casualties.

So he was not embarrassed to scold the defeated soldiers.

And the bullets fired by the Ming army on the city wall exploded more than ten meters in front of him.

Feel the terrifying power for a moment, and you know that flesh and blood can't parry.

As a result, Zalbak himself trembled with shock.

The psychological advantage he had formed over the Ming army that had collapsed without a fight in Datong Military Town had been completely lost at this time.

Seeing that some stunned young people were still planning to run in the direction of the city wall.

But before they had reached half the distance, they were named by flintlock pistols and reimbursed on the spot.

The iron armor they relied on for survival was as fragile as the reeds at this time.

Seeing this, Zarbak knew that he had encountered a hard bone today.

At this point, it is no longer wise to storm the storm.

You can only retreat and respond at the same time as the army, and then choose the opportunity to attack.

So Zarbak shouted: "The whole army is there, retreat with Ben." ”

Speaking of which, Zalbach has already taken the lead in turning the horse's head.

When the Mongol cavalry saw that the commander was running faster than them, the morale of the army was instantly disappointed.

They only hated their parents for not having two more legs, threw away their bulky armor, and quickly began to turn around.

"Chitose! The enemy army has been routed! Lu Delin stepped forward to report.

"There is no need to ask for instructions, just open the city gate and pursue, that group of Mongolian cavalry must stay here!"

Zhou Xian gave an order in a tough tone.

The outer city gate of Yanmen Pass was then opened.

At the same time, the rampaging Zarbach could not look back.

Personally carry the torch and shine the light on the road ahead to prevent the horse from stumbling.

The general who followed him asked with a depressed face: "General, the Ming army is strong in firearms, and it can't knock us all down, they only have 1,800 people, and we only need to kill a few hundred people to completely occupy this pass." ”

"What do you want to say?" Zarbak asked with a gloomy face.

"The last general thinks that we should go back and reorganize the attack."

"Otherwise, if you go back like this, how will you explain to the Great Khan of Hazir?"

"You know what?" Zarbak glanced at the generals beside him and said, "If you insist on attacking strongly, you will definitely be able to capture this pass, but our army will also suffer heavy losses." ”

"In turn, if we attract them into the field, and if we fight the Ming army in the field, all their advantages will be lost."

Hearing Zalbak say this, his eyes lit up.

"The last general understands that the general is deliberately luring the enemy."

"Yes, it would have been a pretended rout to attract the Ming army to chase and kill."

The general looked back at the gates.

When he saw that the Ming army really opened the city gate, he immediately said in ecstasy: "The general is really clever, the group of Ming dogs in Yanmen Pass still can't hold back, and has already ordered to go out of the city to chase us!" ”

"Hahaha, God help me." Zalbak shouted excitedly: "Don't worry, keep retreating, after this col is an open field, we will lead the Ming dogs there, and we will kill them without leaving a piece of armor." ”

"You can also take all those advanced firearms."

"General's clever plan!"

Listening to the general's praise, Zarbach was already happy.

This time he went south with Hazir.

It can be described as a full harvest.

Thirty artillery pieces of the Ming army are now in his barracks.

If you get all those flintlock pistols again.

His own army became the most powerful army in the whole of Mongolia.

When the time came, they swept through Mongolia, and even regained their control from Jiannu, fought against Jiannu, and occupied the northern pastures.

There is also great hope of restoring the glory of the time of the great Genghis Khan.

The more he thought about it, the more beautiful Zarbak fled on horseback, and he couldn't wait to look back and observe the movements of the Ming army.

At the same time, Ma Wenzhong, the vanguard general of Jin Wuwei, took the lead, and behind him were 3,000 Jin Wuwei soldiers.

Ma Wenzhong was once a fierce general in Shanhaiguan.

He is also a young generation of generals cultivated by Sun Chengzong, the cabinet chief of the dynasty.

Watching Jin Wuwei go out of the city, Lu Delin couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and clenched his fists with both hands and asked Zhou Xian for instructions: "Chitose, the old minister is also willing to go out with the army." ”

Zhou Xian shook his head and said: "Lu Shuai still has a big responsibility, let's watch this battle from the wall, and if you want to go on the expedition, I also have to wait for your injuries to heal." ”

Hearing this, Lu Delin bowed his head slightly and stopped talking.

At this time, Ma Wenzhong's 3,000 men had all been killed out of the city.

The remaining Jinwu guards in the city guarded the city gates, but the city gates were not closed.

Ma Wenzhong rode his horse and galloped, pulled out a heavy horse chopping knife from his waist, turned back and shouted to the Jinwuwei warriors who followed: "Athletes, it is the time when our army has made meritorious contributions, and all the enemies encountered will be killed without mercy. ”

"Kill! Kill! ”

"Kill !!"

Jin Wuwei pulled out all the sabers, which were improved after the last bloody battle with the Jiannu Geyan army.

With the impact of the war horse, the power of the horizontal slash can be magnified several times.

All it takes is a face to cut off the trunk of a tree with a thick bowl mouth.

Destroying the enemy is not a problem.

And the speed of the Jin Wuwei army was not much faster than that of the Mongol cavalry.

In a moment's effort, the Jin Wuwei led by Ma Wenzhong had already bitten the tail of the rear army of Zarbak.

At the same time, Ma Wenzhong waved his hand, and the soldiers of Jin Wuwei immediately understood, and the formation began to extend from the column to both sides.

turned into a fan-shaped queue, presenting a rear encirclement of the Mongol cavalry.

And the distance between the two sides is still shrinking rapidly.

"General, the Ming Dogs have all caught up, but they seem to be more than eight hundred!"

The general shouted loudly next to Zalbach.

His voice trembled visibly.

Because he looked at the sequence of the Ming army, the number seemed to be about the same as them.

It's different.

Because the Ming army only had 800 men, they would have turned their horses around and charged with one charge.

However, if the number of Ming troops is equal, the two cavalry will hedge.

It is a dragon and a tiger fighting, and there are large-scale casualties on each other.

Zalbak knows this, too.

But what he cared more about in his heart was the towering pass behind the Ming army.

Therefore, it is necessary to fight with the Ming army at all costs.
