Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Embarrassed Heavenly Khan

On the side of Datong Mansion, the first echelon of the Mongols of 3,000 people was already attacking the city wall under the artillery fire pouring on the city wall.

Each cavalryman carried a log and ran back to the city.

They wanted to fill in the walls of Datong Mansion in this way, and then let the cavalry appear directly on the walls.

This method is very clumsy, and it is useless to face a high wall like the city of Nanjing.

However, the walls of Datong Mansion are only a dozen meters high, so even if the Mongols have to pay the price of thousands of cavalry, it is only a matter of time before they can attack the city walls.

It's just that in the rear camp at this time, Tian Khan and the leaders of other tribes have already quarreled.

"Akito has already made a sneak attack, and I ask to withdraw now."

Tian Khan roared angrily.

"Tian Khan, you are angry first, and now we don't know the truth of this news, we need to investigate further, what if the Ming people are just feints?"

"That's right, we have spent so long and at such a big cost, we have come to this point, and we are about to take Datong Mansion, and we can't fall short."

"Yes, I think we can take Datong Mansion first, and then return to the Golden Tent."

Tian Khan never thought that he was the one who organized this war, but now things are out of his control.

This is also to blame for leaving all the elites of his headquarters in the Golden Horde, bringing only more than a thousand cavalry, but still holding the command.

If this war is overwhelming, then no one else will have anything to say.

But now that there is trouble, no one is willing to give up the benefits that are about to be received to return to the aid account.

"Okay, if you don't listen to my orders, then I will have to withdraw my troops by myself."

After speaking, Tian Khan walked out of the big tent directly, leaving only a group of Mongolian leaders to look at each other on the ground.

The sound of horses neighing was heard outside the tent, and the Golden Horde, who had been the overseers, walked out of the battlefield one after another under the orders of the Heavenly Khan, and then galloped away.

As a result, on the battlefield, which was already very tense, chaos appeared in an instant.

Since there was no one to command and dispatch anymore, the Mongolian cavalry, which had been stretched on the battlefield, was instantly chaotic, and many cavalry began to run back under the city wall if they had the impulse.

It turned into a rout.

And in the Mongolian tent, everyone is still vying for command.

As a result, this second attack ended again in a hurry.

On the city wall of Datong Mansion.

Zhang Mao was looking out nervously at this time.

When he saw that the Mongols were fleeing in an orderly manner, the whole person suddenly began to cheer.

"The Mongols were beaten away, and we won."

"The Mongols were beaten away, and we won."

For a while, there was a cheer in Datong Mansion.

Only the three guards on the city wall were still able to keep their calm.

Zhang Mao stumbled in front of Sun Shangqing, who was in a daze under the city wall.

"Sun Yushi, we won."

Sun Shangqing's face was very exciting at this time, and he didn't react until a long time later.

"We won? Did you win? ”

At this time, a thousand households finally couldn't stand it anymore, he walked up to the two of them and said, "Two adults, the Mongols have only temporarily retreated, but they have not withdrawn their troops yet, and it is very likely that they will continue to attack." ”

The words of this Qianhu made Zhang Mao and Sun Shangqing's faces a little ugly.

Zhang Mao said: "Since you can repel them once, there will be a second time, how is the situation of the young and strong in the city?" ”

It turned out that in Datong Mansion this time, there were only 3,000 garrisons in the guards, and the remaining more than 10,000 people were all people and craftsmen who withdrew to Datong Mansion.

And they were all spontaneous, not to mention the countless old and weak women and children who also participated in the logistics work.

This is unimaginable in other cities, but in Datong Mansion, even if the acting king is not in the city, these people still do it without hesitation.

Na Qianhu said: "This round of Mongol attacks, the casualties caused are not many, and everyone's morale is also very good, I believe that as long as the city wall is not broken, it is more than enough to hold out for a few months." ”

Sun Shangqing, who was on the side, heard this, and his face softened slightly.

"By the way, this official heard that the Yan Wangfu has sent troops, when will they arrive?" Sun Shangqing asked.

It turned out that this was the reason why he really asked for the battle, that is, knowing that this battle was joined by King Yan, it was impossible to fail.

It's just that he didn't expect that before King Yan's army arrived, the Mongols had already come over.

Moreover, the king of that generation was not good at guarding the city, and he was not in Datong Mansion, which made his idea of behaving in front of King Yan frustrated.

When he saw the terrible situation on the battlefield, he was so frightened that he hid under the city wall and shivered.

He imagined war too simply.

The thousand households looked at Sun Shangqing, with an uncertain look on their faces, and said: "King Yan's fiefdom is thousands of miles away from Datong Mansion, even if you go all out, it will take at least three days. ”

"Three days?"

Sun Shangqing breathed a sigh of relief.

If it were an ordinary army, it would not have such a fast marching speed at all.

However, King Yan's army was different, he was the only vassal king among the nine great Sai kings with a large cavalry team.

Without him, these war horses were all snatched by him from the Mongols, and he really managed to raise the war with war.

Mongol camp outside Datong Province.

The power struggle within the Great Horde finally came to an end, and the three largest tribal chiefs joined forces to take command.

However, they only found out that their first echelon had been defeated.

One of them, the bucket-waisted chieftain, said: "I propose that the whole army be pressed, without giving the enemy a chance to breathe, and take Datong Mansion in one go, even if it is worth sacrificing a little more." ”

Another middle-aged chief said: "The risk of the whole army being pressed is too great, don't forget that Datong Mansion is not too far from King Yan's fiefdom, if he takes advantage of the situation, we are likely to be wiped out." ”

At the mention of Zhu Di, the king of Yan, the faces of the chiefs in the big tent immediately became serious, which showed that they were still very in awe of the king of Yan.

"Then it is better to divide the army into three groups and take turns to attack, so that accidents can also be prevented."

In the end, the young chief's proposal was finally approved.

So at noon that day, the third battle of Datongfu began.

Meanwhile.

After running around all night, the Heavenly Khan finally returned to his Golden Horde with his troops.

It's just that before he could see the situation clearly, the first team of cavalry suddenly fell.

"What's the situation?"

Tian Khan was taken aback.

But he was answered by countless cannon shots.

Then his cavalry unit was flipped on the back of the bombers.

Zhu Gui, who was standing on a makeshift watchtower, couldn't help but feel a little strange when he saw this scene.

"Why did you only come back with so many Mongols? It's really a waste of artillery to hit mosquitoes, tell the artillery battalion, don't fight, save ammunition. ”
