Chapter 1226 Bloody Battle in Dunhuang (1)

The black clouds are pressing against the city and are about to destroy it, and the armor light opens toward the sun and golden scales!

On the ninth day of the sixth month of the sixth year of Jiajing, the midsummer sun released its heat arbitrarily. Xu Jin, Duke of Jingguo of the Ming Dynasty, led more than 80,000 troops to the outside of Dunhuang City. However, he saw guns like forests and horses like dragons, and swords were waving into the sky, and flags were waving to cover the sky.

At the end of Dunhuang City, Turpan guard Hu Li Na'er and his soldiers, looking at the dark and thunderous outside the city, all of whom were trembling with fear, as if the temperature had suddenly dropped several degrees, and could not help but sweat.

The Ming army obviously did not intend to waste any time, and its movements were swift and straightforward. It quickly surrounded the three sides of Dunhuang City, opened its formation, and took an attacking attitude at any time, leaving only a gap in the west of the city. This was a gate of life.

Three sieges are missing one, which is the most classic way of fighting in siege. As the saying goes, convenience is to be convenient for others, which means convenience for oneself, leaving a way for the defenders in the city, which can prevent them from rushing to the end, thereby reducing casualties on their own.

The Ming army set up this kind of formation as soon as it came up, and it was obvious that it was going to attack hard. As the saying goes, soldiers are the most important. Xu Jin had to take Dunhuang before Mansuer Khan could react, so he had to attack hard.

Since he planned to quickly take Dunhuang, Xu Jin naturally came prepared. Soon, rows of siege cars, stone throwing machines, crossbows, arrow towers, and more than 200 artillery artillery were pushed to the front of the formation in an orderly manner.

Looking at the rows of stone throwers and artillery outside the city, the Turpan defenders on the top of the city were frightened and frightened. Oh my god, are the Ming people planning to smooth the entire Dunhuang City from the ground?

Hu Lina's face was also ashamed at this moment. He had guessed that the Ming army's firepower would be very strong, but he didn't expect it to be as fierce as it was. There were at least two hundred cannons that shone darkly in the sun. Damn it, no wonder the Oirats were vulnerable in front of the Ming army. This firepower was too perverted. When they encountered it during field battles, it was a disaster.

However, Hu Li Na's son was shocked and couldn't help but secretly glad that it was a siege battle now, and he was the one who defended the city. The Dunhuang city walls were high and thick, so he could withstand it, right?

Seeing that the Ming army outside the city was about to launch an attack, Hulina had to force himself to pull out the scimitar and shout: "Warriors, prepare to fight and eliminate all the invading Ming dogs under the city. Jayhard, you will win!"

"Jerhad, I will win!!" The Turpan soldiers on the city wall pounded their shields violently while shouting loudly and cheering. The huge voice was shocking, but it was extremely powerful.

The south of Dunhuang City is Mingsha Mountain, with continuous sand dunes, which are "swept" by the fierce desert wind all year round, as if it were silk, with great visual impact.

At this moment, under the Mingsha Mountain, a "Xu"-shaped flag was blown by the strong desert wind. Below the flag was the tent, and five thousand Ming troops were surrounded by crescent-shaped guards.

The reason why Xu Jin stationed his commander's tent at the foot of Mingsha Mountain was that it was safe, and it was convenient to climb to the top of the mountain and observe the battle situation in front of Dunhuang City. In addition, there is Crescent Spring nearby, which is convenient to get water.

At this time, Xu Jin, dressed in a Confucian shirt and dressed as a scholar, was standing on the top of the sand dunes of Mingsha Mountain. A group of personal soldiers led by Zhao Datou were arching around with murderous intent. Xie Qing and Xie Yidao and his son stood behind Xu Jin, and the two masters were like Yuan Xiyue Zhi.

Xue Bingxin was dressed in a short dress, with a pretty face, long legs, and her shoulders were as sharp as a knife. She was holding a long sword in her hand, standing next to Xu Jin in a heroic manner, with her cold eyes alerting the situation around her.

Standing on the top of the sand dunes, you can not only see the battle situation in front of Dunhuang City, but also see the things in Dunhuang City at a glance. At this time, Xu Jin was quietly observing with a binoculars.

As the head coach of the army, Xu Jin naturally did not need to go to the front line to command the battle. In addition, at this moment, the generals under his command did not need Xu Jin to do it personally. Wang Liner will be fully responsible for the attack on Dunhuang City, and Xie Erjian and Qi Jingtong will be assisted by the side.

Xu Jin was observing, and heard the Turpan defenders in the city shouting loudly. They were shouting Turpan language, so Xu Jin naturally couldn't understand it, but he still vaguely heard the three words "Jerhad" clearly and frowned.

Huang Dacan next to him also frowned, probably thinking that Xu Jin could not understand, and explained: "The word "Jerhad comes from the Quran and means hard work. It can also be translated as holy war. Turpan Mansuerhan strongly advocates the Isle-L religion and uses it to encourage his subjects to mobilize Jihad against the Ming Dynasty."

A cold light flashed in Xu Jin's eyes. In later generations, the word "Jerhard" was notorious and almost equivalent to a synonym for terrorists. It seems that after taking Turpan, it is necessary to vigorously rectify it, otherwise there will be endless troubles.

Dongdongdongdongdong...

The intense war drums suddenly sounded, and the Ming army finally launched the first wave of attack on Dunhuang City. Dozens of stone throwing machines were activated one after another, and the huge rocks drew terrifying arcs in the air and roared towards the Dunhuang ancient city.

boom……

The huge rock hit the city wall, smashing the wall bricks to sink...

boom……

The huge rock hit the city, smashing the female wall into pieces...

boom……

The huge rock hit the person and turned into a pile of meat sauce on the spot...

Boom boom boom boom...

Countless stones fell like raindrops. The Turpan defenders on the city were smashed to cry and shouting at their parents, and ran away with their heads in their arms. The unlucky one turned into piles of rotten meat, but even more unlucky one was that the lower body turned into rotten meat, while the upper body was intact could only wail heart-wrenchingly in pain and despair.

However, all this is just an appetizer. The stone-picker is just the first wave of tentative attacks, followed by the second wave, with the stone-picker and artillery launching at the same time.

Boom boom boom boom...Push...

Countless stones and countless shells fell from the sky, and the city of Dunhuang City turned into a sea of ​​fire and a purgatory on earth. It was precisely: gravel and residual limbs flew together, and the brain and blood were the same!

After several waves of devastating artillery and strikes, Wang Lin'er waved the flag and the Ming army surged out like a tide!

"Roar, kill!" Amid the earth-shaking shouts, the Ming army slowly pushed siege cars and arrow towers near the foot of the city wall under the cover of fierce artillery fire.

"Shoot! Shoot!" The Turpan generals on the top of the city waved their swords and shouted, and the sharp arrows poured down like raindrops. Many Ming troops were shot and died heroically, but more Ming troops rushed to the foot of the city wall. They used various tools to climb to the top of the city without fear of death, and were smashed by rolling stones and wood...

Bang bang bang bang...

The gunshots rang out like beans. The Ming army's musketeers raised their guns to shoot at the top of the city, covering the brave robes to climb the city, and the archers on the archery tower also bent their bows and arrows to shoot at the Turpan defenders on the top of the city.

Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, arrows are like locusts, and bounces are like rain. At this moment, life is not as good as grass mustard.

Dongdongdongdongdong... The drum beat was as fast as a rainstorm. The Ming army's attacks were like a tide. With the support of powerful firepower, they attacked the city several times. However, the Turpan defenders in the city were also very tenacious, and they could defeat the Ming army in time every time.

This tragic siege battle ran from morning to noon, and from noon to dusk. Both sides suffered heavy casualties and corpses were everywhere under the city, and blood was flowing into a river.

Wang Lin'er brows were deeply frowning, and the tenacity of the defenders was unexpected. He glanced at the sunset that was sinking, but could only order the Jin to withdraw the troops and wait for another battle tomorrow.

Dangdangdang...

With the sound of gold, the Ming army retreated like a tide. The Turpan defenders on the city couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and collapsed on the ground like mud.

Pei Xingjin and Yu Linsheng were both angry and fierce. When they heard that the army was retracted, they couldn't help but curse. However, the military law was as good as a mountain, and they dared not disobey the orders, so they could only order to retreat. The two guys retreated and found Wang Lin'er and asked for a night of battle. However, Wang Lin'er decisively refused, so they had to leave again.

The next day, the war drums sounded again, and the Ming army launched the second day's attack on Dunhuang City, and a tragic bloody battle was staged again...
