Chapter 155: The Offensive and Defensive Trends Are Different

The fire sieve has never taken the Ming generals seriously.

As a well-deserved first warrior in the grassland, he has never lost the upper hand in the war with the Ming Dynasty, even in the first year of the battle of Helan Mountain, Wang Yue fought against Dayan Khan's men and horses, and he did not suffer a loss.

For Wang Yue......

Huo Sieve felt that it was already a figure from his father's generation, and it was time to go to the grave.

But when he heard that Wang Yue personally led the troops to such a special time and such a special scene, he still had a feeling from the bottom of his heart that he had never felt before.

It was a kind of tribe that was about to fall, the future was unpredictable, and it could even lead to the death of the clanβ€”

Fear.

"Rectify the soldiers and horses, rely on the city defense ......"

The fire sieve ordered.

But before he could finish speaking, there was a loud bang less than fifty paces around.

The house was blown up directly into the sky, and in addition to bricks, stones, sand, and stumps, there were also severed limbs and arms.

Looking at the direction of the city gate tower, there are already several gaps in the city wall, and it is impossible to get close to the city wall as a defense, and if you stay in the city, who knows where it will suddenly explode? It was as if every inch of the city was unsafe.

"Taishi, there are Ming Dynasty troops in the south, east, and southwest of the city, and the enemy situation is unknown."

The Ming Dynasty's partial pass, in the north and west is not a city gate, because the Ming army does not need to go out of the pass, the two sides or built on the steep cliff battlements, or towering towers, are used to guard against the Tatars.

Now the Tatars went around the back and entered the partial pass, only near the southeast of the Ming Dynasty there are city gates to enter and exit, and these gates are all urn city, who knows if the army of the Ming Dynasty will kill into the urn city, and then ambush in the urn city, and fight a decisive battle with it?

The fire sieve dispatched the generals around him.

But at this time, because of the looting and the inexplicable explosion, it was actually difficult for the tribal warriors under his command to form effective resistance.

Or rather...... I don't even know where the enemy is.

"Assemble the army!"

The fire sieve pulled his war horse over, and there was not even a single servant by his side, so he got on his horse and carried his sword, as if he could reverse the occupied warrior with the strength of one man, and rely on his prestige to cheer up the soldiers he saw along the way.

Under his beckoning, many Tatar cavalry regrouped, and those materials that had been looted and piled up and ready to be transported out of the city were ignored again, and many were even burned directly.

Robbery or something, can only be put aside.

The decisive battle is not child's play.

……

……

Explosions in the city continued.

Outside the city pass, Wang Yue had already completed the raid on the Huile Department.

The number of soldiers and horses of the Huile tribe is less than 300 people, and in the face of the impact of Wang Yue's 2,000 cavalry, it is only in the initial battle that there are sporadic arrows shot out, and one arrow is also shot on Wang Yue's armor, but this is nothing to the Ming Dynasty soldiers.

The cavalry only charged in one round, and the camp of the Huile Department was crushed.

Because Wang Yue had a military order of "poor Kou Mo Chase" in advance, more than half of the soldiers and horses of the Huile Department fled in the direction of the north gap, and Wang Yue did not have enough soldiers and horses to pursue, and his goal was not the materials piled up into a hill in the Huile Department, he wanted to hold the pass south of the city of the Biaotou Pass, and wait for the remnants of the Tatar army to escape from the inside.

The other two sides.

The cavalry of 500 men each had arrived near the southwest and east gates of the city, set up artillery, and lined up a firing array.

With the entry of artillery into the battle, it became a situation in which the Ming army attacked its own city with artillery, while the Tatars defended the danger.

However, the Tatar cavalry in the city continued to run out of the city gate or from the city wall where there was a gap...... At these times, the clan-based structure of the Tatar army was not disrupted, except that the explosions around the walls continued as they fled outside the city, and the Tatar cavalry had to disperse the cavalry as much as possible as possible when they fled again, in order to reduce the number of people who "ascended" to heaven with each explosion.

"General, the tribal banner of the fire sieve has been found at the gates of the city. The fire screen may be in the city gate! ”

Wang Yue guarded the gate of the city, and he had not achieved much success for the time being.

But as the information came, the soldiers under his command also cheered up.

caught turtles in the urn, and actually pressed the fire sieve himself into the urn, and even the fire sieve could be pressed on the ground and rubbed...... This is probably the most hardcore war since the reign of the Ming Dynasty.

Don't look at the number of people on your side, but in such a situation, the defenders in the city don't run out, which is equivalent to waiting for death by "lottery...... There is no time when an explosion will shatter its bones.

So they didn't even need to do anything, they just stood at the gates of the city, and the Tatars came out to besiege and kill, and if they didn't come out, they waited......

What could be a more comfortable way to fight?

……

……

Compared with the relaxation of the soldiers and horses in the east and south of the city, the breakthrough and anti-breakthrough battles in the southwest of the city were more intense.

The Ming Dynasty only arranged five hundred soldiers and horses in this place, and this side is the camp where the fire sieve department was stationed before entering the city, after the war, many grain and grass piles were burned, the night was lit up, the Tatar soldiers and horses in the city found that the garrison of the Ming Dynasty soldiers and horses on this side was relatively weak, and the Tatar soldiers and horses in the city preferred to break through from this side.

The south of the city is where Wang Yuezhong's army is located.

The herald eagerly sent news from the southwest of the city: "Uncle, thousands of soldiers and horses have burst out of the Tartars from the West Corner Gate, and they are almost unable to parry!" ”

Wang Yue didn't seem to know that there were these five hundred people, and said coldly: "Each side is defending the position, even if there is no army on either side, you must not leave your post without permission!" ”

As he was talking, there were still sporadic breakthroughs from the main gate in the south of the city, but before they could rush out, there was a violent explosion in the urn city, with the collapse of the urn city, in addition to dozens of Tatar cavalry were buried, the south of the city from the city gate building to the urn city, there is basically no city wall still standing there......

This side has been largely flattened.

The war is advancing.

Although the explosion in the city was violent, because of the different directions in which the Tatars gathered, and the nitroglycerin needed to be detonated, the damage to the Tatars from the explosion in the city was not large.

The main thing is to deter the hearts of its military.

Wang Yue was outside the city, looking up at the stars in the sky, at this time midnight had long passed, and after the explosions in the city had subsided slightly, Wang Yue seemed to feel that this battle had to enter the second stage.

"Fire!"

As soon as he gave the order, three artillery shots rang out.

In the Ming Dynasty, the main way to give orders was to complete the artillery firing in unison, and a few artillery sounds were particular, relying on signal flares...... It doesn't fly high, and it's hard to see from a distance, so it's not as direct and crisp as the sound of cannons.

After three cannon shots, Wang Yue raised the long sword in his hand that had made him famous in the first battle of Weininghai, and shouted: "Kill! ”

"Boom!"

Louder explosions were heard.

This was the signal for the opening of the gap in the north of the city after three cannon shots.

With these explosions, the gate tower of the north city wall of the Ming Dynasty will also be blown up and collapsed...... The Tatars can have a "living road" to break through to the north, and it is precisely because of the preparation of such a living road that Wang Yue can also use his 3,000 soldiers and horses to directly charge and garrison the 10,000 Tatar soldiers and horses.

Are you brave and good at fighting, and you are good at winning more with less?

Today, let you see what a real tiger is, and my 3,000 soldiers and horses will dare to attack your city.

If you have the ability, don't run, let's fight a decisive battle!

……

……

A bloody battle can only be regarded as the real start at this time.

The previous bombardment and the Tatar breakout were just appetizers, and with Wang Yue leading his troops into the city, the real battlefield battle began.

Just when Wang Yue launched an offensive.

Zhu Feng, in the east of the city, was in a daze watching the Tatars who ran out of the city sporadically.

He is also calculating in his heart, as if he used to do business, and he always needed to pinch his fingers to figure it out...... A Tartar's head is worth a lot of money, if you change military merits...... It is estimated that you can make a lot of money.

The problem is not one or two, but this alone has yielded no less than fifty Tartars...... There were those who were captured, and there were those who were slaughtered.

"Little grandfather, uncle has given the order, to attack the city!"

The deputy general sent by Wang Yue reminded Zhu Feng, who was still in a daze.

Zhu Feng looked at the corner gate in the east of the city, and he didn't know if it was cold or what, and shivered.

This way of guarding the door to earn military merits is simply too beautiful, why do you want to kill in the city and play with your life?

How many Tartar ghosts in the city know, and they only brought 500 people!

"If you don't enter the city again, you will delay the fighters! General Zhu! ”

The adjutant general was also anxious.

Calling the little grandfather, you didn't hear it, then don't call you by your background, but call you General Zhu, you should cheer up your spirits, right?

Zhu Feng said: "If you enter the city, wouldn't it be ...... Street fighting? ”

The adjutant general said: "Your command is a fierce general personally selected by Wei Ningbo, as long as you enter the city, there will be warriors around you, please order!" ”

"That'...... Then let's go in......"

Zhu Feng wanted to cry without tears.

I'm having a lot of fun picking up money here, wouldn't it be good for me to keep picking it up for a while?

You have to let me go in and fight hard......

Sure enough, the pie in the sky can't last long, and you still have to rely on your own hands at a critical time...... I'm a thin-skinned and tender meat, let me fight the Tatars, isn't it to catch ducks on the shelves?

My carefree teenage life of eating and waiting for death, running under the sunset, is gone forever!

……

……

The five hundred cavalry led by Zhu Fengqin had not yet entered the city.

Listening to the loud "boom", the city wall on the east side of the city was also blown open.

The Tatars, who were still preparing to resist stubbornly on the city walls, were directly blown away, some were buried under the city bricks, and more of them fled to the city because the news had already arrived...... A hole was blown open in the north of the city, although the number of carriages and horses that could pass was not large, and in some places it was necessary to set up a ladder behind the city wall to run......

But there is no need to run in the direction of the south and east of the city, which is the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty.

Out of the pass, head north...... It was a vast prairie as far as the eye could see.

That's where they live.

"Kill!"

Zhu Feng was completely lacking in confidence and hid in the last column of the line.

But when he found that the city wall had been blown down, and there were still a few Tatars, and now he could not even see a ghost, he suddenly mentioned some pride.

Isn't it just desperate?

I, Zhu Feng, am also a son of a famous family, and my ancestors have shed blood and made meritorious contributions for Taizong and the country.

I can't rush to the front, hide in the back of the team and make a show, let others work hard, and wait to pick up some credit......

It's always okay, right?
