"Put!!"

The Tatar side besieging the city was still organizing archers to continuously drop arrows on the tower, covering the troops carrying logs to continue to storm the gate of the tower regardless of life and death.

The stumbling stakes set up by the defenders of the city had already filled the corpses, and the same was true under the walls of the Guanlou.

The back team stepped on the body of the front team forward.

The world is like hell here.

Shi Feng hid under the battlements of the city wall, and he could see a hint of something wrong in the faces of several of his subordinates.

"General, the Tatars are crazy, if they continue like this, they can rush up by stepping on the corpse! Didn't the imperial court have reinforcements? Do you send someone to urge them to hurry up?! ”

That's fine.

However, just as it was about to be arranged, another group of soldiers with mud and sweat on the stairs of the building rushed up.

"Newspaper!! The Tatars also attacked in the back mountains! ”

Shi Feng was shocked in his heart, and he immediately said: "Xu Qian, you quickly lead three thousand people to support, the back guard is not as good as here, and it will definitely not be able to be broken through!" ”

"The last general obeys!" Although Xu Qian received the order, there was still a trace of struggle on his face, "General Shi, ...... here"

He meant, it's just as dangerous here.

"That's all there is to it. Being caught in the front and back, we can only hold on and wait for help, this is our only way to survive. So be sure to hold on. ”

For some reason, Shi Feng suddenly calmed down, and he could clearly hear all the voices in his ears,

Their own men are shouting, commanding the defenders of the city,

The enemies are roaring and charging,

Arrows burst through the air, firebombs exploded, and screams shook the sky.

"Fight! Against!! ”

With Shi Bong's shouting, the temporary pause ended here, and everyone began to move.

Xu Qian waved his hand, "A few of you, bring your own people and follow me!" ”

When he left the tower, he had clearly seen the Tatar in a tan military uniform stepping onto the tower for the first time, and Shi Feng led people to quickly go over and slash and kill.

The attack had been going on for hours since the night, and there seemed to be no sign of stopping.

Both sides are using their own limits to find a chance to survive.

On the top of the tower, more than a dozen Tatar soldiers suddenly climbed up, making everyone look very nervous.

Shi Feng didn't say a word, and stepped forward with a gun to stab.

The enemy is also brave enough to draw his scimitar and fight him when he is alone.

'Bang Bang Bang'

It's the sound of metal crashing.

Shi Feng became more and more intense in the battle, the spear waved like a swimming dragon, the body of the spear slid past the edge of the knife, flashed a spark, and then slammed it, and the scimitar in the Tatar man's hand flew into the air, at the same time, Shi Feng's hand holding the gun was loosened, and the person rushed forward, drawing a short knife from his waist and slashing directly at his face!

Burst!

There is a special lag sensation when the knife slides through the meat.

"Ahh

A heart-rending scream followed.

Shi Feng didn't care, he took advantage of the victory to pursue, "Kill!" ”

This kind of killing and ordering seemed to boost the morale of all the Ming troops, dozens of people instantly swarmed up, even the Ming soldiers who were stabbed into the body by the knife also continued to show their bloody nature to the enemy, he was pressed to the edge of the city wall and was unable to get up, his teeth were gritted so that blood oozed, and finally he simply grabbed the enemy's hair.

"Die with me!!"

I saw him drag a Tatar soldier backwards and turn over, and the two of them fell freely from the top of the city wall into the urn city inside.

The city wall is more than ten meters high, and if it falls down like this, it hits the ground straight, and there is a 'bang', and both of them have their brains cracked.

This kind of tragedy makes people can't help but cry.

"Kill the Tartars! Kill the Tartars!! ”

I can't tell who is shouting, and no one wants to tell it, it's like some kind of 'biological signal' sent by the wolf king of the animal kingdom to his wolf cubs, and everyone else follows for no reason, even regardless of life.

Shi Bong knocked the last of the men under the city walls, and then looked around, and found that several other battlements were in similar danger, so he did not have time to catch his breath and began to fight again.

rear

In the sweat tent of Dayan Khan.

Ma Yiqian was grabbed by the collar, "You must be a spy sent by the little emperor of the Ming Dynasty to give us such a poisonous plan, so that so many warriors lost their lives here!" Great Khan, you asked me to kill him! ”

"Stop! Calm down! Dayan Khan himself said this with his fists clenched.

At this time, Ma Yiqian was also unable to relax, and he was also afraid that if these people were stimulated by the casualties and couldn't stand it, an impulse would really kill him.

And for him, he must not change his statement, otherwise the Tatars will insist that he pay for the lives of the dead soldiers.

So he stared straight at it and said, "If it is a poisonous plan, you can order the withdrawal of troops and see if this battle is better fought after the Ming army reinforcements arrive." ”

"Say no more!"

Dayan Khan was very irritable.

He could see that one by one fell from the wall, and some fell halfway through the climb.

The taller and taller corpses outside the city walls are all his people!

"Great Khan! Retire! The great thing is that this time we don't fight, let's go back! ”

Dayan Khan's eyes were fierce, "If you go back, you will fail!" Since then, the Ming Court has imposed a strict blockade on us, how are we going to survive the colder and colder winter?! ”

I don't know what's going on in the past few years,

One winter is colder than the other.

The elders of the tribe said that they had never seen such a situation since they were children.

Maybe they were too unproductive and angered Immortal Heaven.

In short, the situation is getting worse and worse.

"We're all fighting for the survival of the tribe. This battle must be fought! ”

This is just one reason in Dayan Khan's heart, and the second is that he found that something was wrong after the Ming Dynasty changed emperors.

Some of Ma Yiqian's previous words actually confirmed a certain idea in his heart, that is, the Ming people ushered in their generation of Ming Jun.

Every time such an emperor appears in the Central Plains Dynasty, he will always be extremely powerful.

Because they have fertile soil and a huge population, in a few years, they will be able to form a large-scale expeditionary force, and when the time comes, they will definitely continue to attack the steppes as they did a hundred years ago.

So he doesn't have the advantage of time,

If it drags on, the Ming Dynasty will only become stronger.

Only when they lick their wounds in a battle can the grasslands gain time again.

So this battle must be fought,

Fight to the end!

The next moment,

Suddenly, there were some sounds similar to cheers coming from outside the account.

When they looked up, they saw their own soldiers running back in a panic!

It was the Ming army defending the city who cheered.

The casualties were too great, the proportion of battle losses was too high, and even the Tatar army would have been defeated.

Fortunately, the Ming army was also at the end of the crossbow at this time, and there was no possibility of going out of the city to pursue.

Shi Feng breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time ordered, "If you are not injured, rest on the spot for a while, General Yuan, order your people to carry the wounded down, this battle is not over yet!" ”

But repelling an enemy attack is a chance of survival.

Yuan Chuang was still a little excited.

After that, Shi Feng also sat on the ground,

The offensive and defensive battle of Bauhinia Pass turned into a brutal fierce battle overnight, and the speed was so fast that he didn't even have time to think about it.

And he was still worried in his heart, Xu Qian didn't know what the situation was.

"General Shi."

His subordinates brought him water.

Shi Feng took a big sip and said, "There must be something changed in the Tatar tent. A few days ago, he wanted to consume us with fewer casualties, but he changed his strategy overnight, and this must be a strange thing. We have to show the court about this. ”

Of course, at the moment, it is most important to defend the Bauhinia Pass.

In the fourteenth year of orthodoxy, Shandong commanded Han Qing - a fierce military general who was famous in Yongle, was killed in battle here, and the history books recorded: Qing gathered more than 100 horses, reluctantly with righteousness, highlighted the counterattack, was surrounded by arrows, and committed suicide.

Sixty years have passed, and now it is his turn.

Shi Feng himself knew that if the enemy continued to attack, they might be able to fight back one or two more rounds...... But in the end, whether they survive or not depends on the reinforcements.

If you could wait a few more days......

"Don't be so sad." Shi Feng kicked the subordinates beside him,

"The Ming Dynasty is always stronger than the Tatars, even if we die, Your Majesty will avenge us."

He smiled after saying that.

"Daming Zhongxing is right in front of us, we can't see it, and our children can see it. At that time, it is better for the four Yi to be served, all the nations will come to the dynasty, and the children and grandchildren will live in the prosperous era than when we were young. ”

Several people knelt down, and they said with red eyes and sadness: "I will follow the general to the death, kill the enemy and serve the country!" ”

"Good! Die with all the brothers, for the country, and be happy! ”

……

……

In the early morning of August 24, the second year of Zhengde,

The news reached Jingshi.

Zhu Houzhao was furious, "Go to me to check, when did the order from the military department arrive, and the commanders of Shandong and Henan traveled a few miles a day?!" When the national war is made, is there anyone who is afraid of the enemy and cowardly? As a result, the defenders of Bauhinia Pass are isolated! Do I really dare not kill people? ”

All the ministers were silent.

Wang Bing, the secretary of the Ministry of War, said: "Your Majesty is angry, this matter has been verified by Weichen, it is really because the little prince of Tatar attacked too quickly, and as soon as the holy decree of the Beijing division arrived on the night of the 22nd, the Tatar suddenly launched a battle to attack the fortified positions. ”

"You mean, the little prince of Tatar played too beautifully?!"

"I don't dare."

Zhu Houzhao snorted angrily, and his gaze returned to the report, "This battle is very strange, why would the Tatars, who have never attacked fortified cities, suddenly change to attack at any cost under the habitual tactics of war?"

Bauhinia Pass is fought like this, but Datong is fighting like that, what do you think this little prince of Tatar is thinking? ”

Wang Wei said eagerly: "Your Majesty, no matter what the reason, once the Bauhinia Pass is broken, the Beijing Division will inevitably be exposed to the Tatar soldiers and horses, and the guards of the Beijing Division are the most important at the moment!" ”

Wang Bing replied: "In the battle of Bauhinia Pass, although the little Tatar prince won, our army fought bravely from the general to the soldiers, and the soldiers dared to fight when they encountered strong enemies. More than 18,000 enemies were killed in the first battle, and with such casualties, the Beijing division could not be attacked! ”

"But the people in the city don't know that the people in Beijing are panicking now, and they still need to deal with it as soon as possible."

Zhu Houzhao could also feel the tragedy of the war between the lines, and he was also very distressed when Shangzhi's personal guard encountered such casualties, but at this time, the little Tatar prince should also be exhausted.

"Send an edict to the commanders of Henan and Shandong, asking them to attack and harass the enemy army and make meritorious contributions! If I let the Tatars rush to Beijing like a play, I will definitely kill their heads! ”

As Wang Bing said, this Tatar army could not pose a threat to the Beijing division.

However, the political impact of breaking through the Bauhinia Pass and arriving in Gyeonggi was enormous.

To some extent, the initiative is now in the hands of Dayan Khan, because the military strength of the Ming army cannot be mobilized at will, especially the troops in Jingli.

But Zhu Houzhao is not Zhu Qizhen after all, he will not let the Tatars find time to lick their wounds, no matter what Dayan Khan will do next, as long as he enters the North China Plain, the Ming army will keep sending people to attack and harass.

Even if you let the blood go slowly, let him die.

At this time, it is time for this battle to come to an end.
