With the light of the moon and stars, the Mongolian army in Xuzhou sneaked to 300 meters in front of the Perak army camp. The first five hundred new annexes carried straw, planks, and ladders, the first two of which were used to fill in the trenches, and the latter to climb over the earthen walls that were as tall as one man. The new annex was followed by five hundred brute soldiers, all shirtless, with short swords in one hand and shields in the other, ready to fill in the trench and then cross the wall with the help of long ladders. Behind the quietly opened city gate hole, there were 300 cavalry in charge of the silent formation, behind them were the neat brigade of all the barbarians, and then in the rear were the white barbarians of Dali led by the Mongolian cavalry. These white barbarians brought a large amount of firewood, grass and oil, and prepared to burn down the Perak barracks in one fell swoop.

Taking advantage of the cover of night, the soldiers of the new annex army moved to the trench with trepidation. Before they could fill in the last trench, a gong suddenly exploded behind them, and the barbarians began to charge. With swords and shields, they threw themselves at the barracks with a loud cry, and they did not even wait for the long ladder to be erected before they threw themselves at the low wall. The new soldiers who were filling in the trenches and raising the ladders in front of them were swept to the ground by the surging impact from behind, and they had to take refuge on both sides. For these brutes who grew up in the mountains and dense forests, the earthen wall as high as one person could be passed over in one stroke. And behind them, the cavalry of the capital also began to charge. The distance of two miles was only a blink of an eye for the cavalry.

A series of thunderous explosions, followed by a firecracker-like gunfire, combined with screams, drums, and horses' hooves, formed a strange symphony. Like a leopard tiptoeing to catch its prey, the barbarians were about to pounce when they were suddenly hit head-on, and they were beaten all over the ground in an instant. The new annexed troops that had dispersed to both sides did not suffer much damage, but they escaped the fastest, they were unwilling to die for Liu Quan, and they also knew the power of the Thunderbolt army's firearms, and there were rumors of surrender in the city during this time, so they were even more unwilling to lose their lives. As soon as the explosion sounded, the men scurried around, trying to find a place to hide, and surrendered after dawn.

Wounded beasts are more dangerous. Although the sudden blow caused a large number of the Duzhang barbarians to fall, it made them even more bloodthirsty and furious, and continued to rush towards the camp. Some of them stormed the earthen wall, while others piled the bodies of their comrades who had been killed and wounded by the explosion to the edge of the wall, and in a short time they piled up a slope of human flesh several meters wide. The Duzhang barbarians jumped into the camp through this human ramp, but they were greeted by rows of glittering spears, which became meat skewers before they landed. The barbarians behind knew what was going on behind the low wall, and they still rushed forward one after another, and even the cavalry began to rush towards the slope.

Just as the Duzhang barbarians were charging fiercely, under the cover of shouts and explosions, the Mongolian generals also took 200 Mongolian cavalry and 800 white barbarians out of the south gate. It's just that they didn't rush over, but silently bypassed the camp and went straight to the direction of Shimen Pass. Before these Mongolian troops stationed in Dali reinforced Xuzhou, although they had heard of the power of the Thunderbolt army's firearms, they still thought that they were not as invincible as the Mongolian army's invincible cavalry shooting. It's just that a few days ago, the navy led by Hou Xing wiped out the Xuzhou navy in an instant, which really frightened these Mongolian troops from Dali. More than 100 warships and hundreds of people were all wiped out in half a pillar of incense, and the Thunderbolt army actually had zero casualties, how could this battle be fought? Fortunately, those artillery ships did not bombard the city wall, which made the Mongolian generals feel a lot more at ease, but they already had the intention of retreating. It's just that the Mongolian military discipline is extremely strict, and retreating without a fight will be severely punished, so he had to secretly prepare and prepare to slip away while the chaos is in order.

"Dead friends don't die poor". In the eyes of the Mongolian generals, the new annexed army was cannon fodder, and the defenders of Xuzhou were inseparable from them before surrendering, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a deep feud in the sea of blood, even if it is not a pity. As for those who are in charge of the barbarians, they often plunder the surrounding areas, and even steal the war horses of the Mongolian army, and the Mongolian army has repeatedly attacked and returned because of the high mountains and dense forests. The dwarf horses produced in the Duzhangman region could not be used in battle, and more than 200 of their 300 cavalry horses were stolen by the Mongolian army. This time, the Mongolian army lured it to Xuzhou with heavy profits, not only to resist the Thunderbolt army, but also to take the opportunity to consume the living force of these barbarians. If it is not exhausted in the battle against the Thunderbolts, then continue to be sent to the next battlefield until it is depleted, so that it no longer has the ability to harass the tribes of Dali.

On the one hand, the night was shrouded, and the sound of shouting and killing explosions shook the sky, and no one cared about the whereabouts of the Mongolian army, on the other hand, because the Mongolian generals claimed when they gave the order that they would lead the army to attack the rear of the camp, which made the new annexed army and the barbarians have no doubt about their actions, especially the barbarians who still launched wave after wave of charges despite heavy casualties. The Mongol generals promised that after they defeated the Perak army, not only would all the capture go to them, but also Xuzhou would also belong to them. Driven by great profits, these brutes were red-eyed one by one, and the blood flowed all over the ground under the earthen wall, and melted into mud under the trampling, becoming extremely slippery. These barbarians who rushed forward at the expense of their lives on the corpses of their companions made the faces of the Thunderbolt soldiers change greatly.

The Third Division has one cavalry brigade, one naval brigade, one divisional brigade and two cavalry brigades. In order to prevent the horses from suffering from heat stroke, the cavalry brigade of the 3rd Division did not participate in the siege, but took refuge in the valley five miles west of the city. In addition to the east gate, which was in charge of the naval army, the west, north, and south gates of Xuzhou were besieged by two infantry brigades and division brigades of the third division. The South Gate Camp where the barbarian soldiers attacked was the division headquarters brigade led by Zan Wanshou himself, which had a special battalion, a reconnaissance battalion, and a division headquarters battalion under its jurisdiction, and its armament and artillery were not only small in caliber, but also small in number, and ranked last among the brigades in terms of strength. Although the firepower is slightly inferior, the Duzhang barbarians are still far from being the opponent of the division and brigade. In fact, even if the 5,000 defenders of Xuzhou attacked together, they would definitely not be able to break through the fire line of the division and brigade composed of muskets, mines, and grenades. Therefore, although the barbarian attack was fierce, Zan Wanshou did not send reinforcements, but only ordered the brigades to prepare for battle.

As they fought, Ayong, the leader of the barbarian army, sensed that something was wrong and immediately ordered the attack to be stopped. The Mongol army did not attack from behind as agreed, and the new annexed army also retreated into the city of Xuzhou, and even closed the gates. The people sent to inquire about the news came back one after another, and Ah Yong's heart became heavier and heavier - those Mongolian cavalry and white barbarian soldiers raised by bitches had already fled in the direction of Shimen Pass. To add insult to injury, the new annex refused to let them into the city for fear that the Perak cavalry would follow them. Ah Yong and his barbarian soldiers were so angry that their faces turned blue, but they had no choice but to scold the Mongolian army and the new annexed army of Xuzhou for their treachery. The city wall of Xuzhou is high and large, and even if the barbarian soldiers are good at climbing, they will not be able to attack the city without siege equipment.
