.A big victory was won at a very small price, and it was a head-on attack on the Mongolian cavalry in the field. This was definitely more inspiring to the Ming soldiers than the previous victory in the first battle and the night attack on the enemy camp. After all, those two battles were organized by the cavalry troops, and outside the sight of the large army, it could not be compared with such a big scene that I personally experienced.

The morale of the Ming army was high, and they built siege equipment overnight. They also built twenty floating bridges with bamboo rafts and sheepskin floating bags. They were then installed on large chariots connected to the front and back, preparing to set up during the siege. At dawn, they prepared to stop. The Ming army killed cattle and sheep, had a full meal, and then raced against time to rest. When the hour of Mao came, the army gathered. Under the leadership of the officers, they rumbling out of the camp and lined up in Jinong City from east to west and south.

The cavalry dispatched earlier, cruising on the periphery of the battlefield, guarding against Mongolian troops to interfere with the siege.

Seeing this scene, the Mongols in Jinong City knew that the Ming army was about to attack the city. Seeing that the dark army gathered more and more outside the city, they thought of the nightmare defeat they saw yesterday, and they couldn't help but look pale, holding the bows and arrows in their hands tightly, all of whom were suddenly aware of their own destiny.

"Jinong is here..." Someone shouted, and the Mongolian soldiers on the top of the city looked in the sound. Noyandala, wearing dazzling military uniforms, appeared in front of everyone, accompanied by a pair of children.

Seeing that the sunlight that looked at him was filled with more or less hesitation, Noyandala coughed lightly and said, "The warriors of Ordos, we are facing an unprecedented crisis. One hundred thousand well-equipped Ming troops will soon launch an attack on our city. If Jinong City falls, we will be forced to withdraw from our homeland and have nowhere to go, or be annexed by other tribes, and our wives and children will become their slaves. Or they will die and turn into bones that no one can restrain themselves..." He also felt a little moved and said, "So we have no way out. Only by defending Jinong City, when Altan Khan's reinforcements arrive, my Ordos tribe can survive this crisis: otherwise, we will completely lose the Ordos grassland and become a betrayal dog! Are you willing to become a betrayal dog?"

"I don't want to..." everyone responded.

"The sound is too small." Noyandala said loudly: "I'll ask again, do you agree?"

"Don't agree!" This time the answer was much louder.

"I don't agree either!" Noyandala was so angry that she pulled out the short sword from her waist, cut her finger with her backhand, and pointed the blood on her forehead and said, "I, the son of Gunbilk, the descendant of the Golden Family, and the Mongolian Jinnong Borjijin Noyandala swore to the sky, that the city is there, and the city is there, and people are dead, and people will never abandon their own homes and live alone!"

This mobilization was very successful. The Mongolian warriors couldn't help but look at this weak Jinong, "The Mongols are the most convinced heroes. Since they can never retreat, they are naturally unreasonable to shake themselves as their people. So the Mongolians on the city imitated Jinong, pierced their fingers and pointed blood on their foreheads, and vowed to live and die with Jinongcheng!

The unparalleled pearl of the Ordos tribe, Zhong Jinbeji, who is deeply loved, and Jinong's second son, Zhehetaiji, also personally held the wine bag to pour horse milk wine for the warriors. The Mongolian soldiers saw their noble princess breaking up their braids and tied their long black hair with a man's leather crown. They looked capable and neat. They wore a fiery red cloak on their shoulders, wearing half-body white soft armor, and tightly tied a wide silver belt around their waists, which outlined her slender waist, long legs and slender body shape. Under the morning light, a beautiful pretty face became more and more white and vivid, and the bright eyes flashed with unwavering light, which made every Mongolian warrior burst out with blood. They secretly vowed that even if they gave their lives, they would protect their beloved princess!

"Defend your home!" Everyone picked up the wine bowl, drank it all, and then threw it under the city and shouted in unison: "Fight to the end!"

One “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one

Today, the fourth battalion of infantry of the Qi family army, and the 20,000 infantry in Yulin and Yansui, totaling 44,000 people were the main attack. The Luzhong battalion was responsible for carrying wood and stone and pushing siege equipment. The artillery troops were naturally responsible for suppressing the city defense and providing firepower support. Standing on the high platform, Qi Jiguang looked at the busy and busy troops like an ant colony, and felt sad in his heart... Although it is said that one general succeeded and ten thousand bones were undone, he was not a war madman. On the contrary, he hoped to bring his soldiers home as many as possible, reducing the tragedy of "poor bones by the Wuding River, but he was still a man in the deep boudoir dream.

Shake your head and throw away these inappropriate emotions. Qi Jiguang concentrated his energy, set up a thousand-mile mirror and looked at the city, and watched the enemy for a long time without saying a word.

"Yuan Jing, why, aren't you feeling too high?" Liu Xian, the old general next to him, was full of energy, holding the hilt of the sword in his hand, and smiled heartily: "Restoring Dongsheng's achievements. Can't you be excited?"

"Oh, Brother Weiming, don't blame me for being angry with others." Qi Jiguang sighed lightly and whispered: "I see that the Mongolian army in the city is busy and moderate. The preparations are orderly, unlike the one who will give up if you resist hastily." As he said that, he put down the Qianlijing and pointed to the opposite side and said: "If such a city with high walls and deep trenches can be defended, the soldiers will only need 20,000 troops to control the city, and our army will be difficult to break."

Liu Xian was an excellent general in the battle of the south and the north. His experience and qualifications were even higher than Qi Jiguang, especially during the quelling rebellion in Sichuan. He suffered a lot of hardships from the Qiang people to camp. He naturally had a deep understanding of the way of city defense and offense. He heard this and looked serious and nodded, "Yes, I never expected that the Mongols' city had a high and thick wall, a complete tower, and looked like there were many war equipment. As long as we were determined to resist and defend the city, even if our army had ten times more people, if we could not prepare for it for a few months and a strong attack for half a month, it would be difficult to say that we could break the city... and said, "

"It's a pity that our army's chariots and horses are all used to transport cannons, ammunition, and grasslands have no materials to be taken, so we can't build large-scale siege equipment... If it weren't for the plan to defeat the enemy, I would not agree to such hasty siege." "We are now in the middle of the army, and the surroundings are full of enemies!, Qi Jiguang became firm and said: "We must win Dongsheng as soon as possible and reach a preliminary combat plan. Otherwise, the longer it will be, the more dangerous the situation will be!. He said to the commander around him: "The commander will be the entire army. After breaking the city today, all the money and property obtained will be rewarded to the officers and soldiers!...

The commander immediately passed the order down, which caused the entire army to be excited and restless!

At the time of the third hour of Mao, Qi Jiguang ordered the firing of cannons. After three cannons that shook the sky, the Ming army's eighty divine cannons and five hundred general cannons began to shoot upwards. With the sound of rumbling cannons that shook the sky and the earth, "the artillery shells roared and flew to the top of the city, "……… The Ming artillery troops trained in artillery science are indeed extraordinary. The shells are concentrated on the enemy towers and slapped in the preparatory siege section. Those towers on the city made by civil engineering are hidden places where the Mongolian army's archers can shoot at any time. These facilities have been carefully reinforced and have strong resistance to shells, but the Ming army used fire bullets in this round of shooting. As long as one of them fell into the enemy tower and splashed shrapnel and iron nails, it would hurt the Mongolian army inside. Screams could be heard under the city.

The infantry of the Ming army took the opportunity to launch an attack. One hundred brave men with naked upper body pushed a large cart loading the pontoon bridge. There were comrades holding three layers of cowhide tents on the outside and rushed towards Dongsheng City. The Ulanmulun River passed around the city and was a natural moat of Dongsheng City. The Mongols deepened and expanded several times. If it were in the water season, the Ming army would not even be able to cross this natural barrier.

Fortunately, they were prepared. The soldiers pushed the cart straight into the river, and even the people jumped down, and tried their best to send the pontoon bridge to the other side.

The Mongolian army discovered the intention of the Ming army. Regardless of the flying cannon stones, they shot arrows down from the squadrons, and fought back with hundreds of old-fashioned cannons of varying sizes seized by the Ming army. Although their shooting skills were poor and the range and power of the cannons could not threaten the Ming army's artillery, they were still competent to deal with the Ming army on the moat.

The gun arrows smashed into the water like raindrops, splashing water all over the sky, "Ming army warriors had nowhere to hide", and the casualties were very heavy. But the bravery of the Qi family army was undoubtedly revealed at this moment. The front fell down, and the back immediately filled up, and no one retreated. The soldiers holding the three-layer cowhide tent rushed to the pontoon bridge that had not yet reached the other side. The bridge-building warriors below resisted... This kind of defense tent was represented by three layers of cooked cowhide, with one layer of iron as the inside, and there were nine beams and eight pillars "arrows and stones thrown on it, and they were all rebounded" and could not enter. The death and injury of the Ming army was reduced. The soldiers shouted horns and used their strength to finally put the pontoon bridge to the other side.

When they arrived at the other side, the exhausted Ming army warriors jumped to the river bank and, under the cover of the cowhide tent, pulled out the two wooden stakes at the front of the pontoon bridge, stood on the ground, and smashed them with an iron hammer to fix the pontoon bridge.

When the first pontoon bridge was built, the second pontoon was followed by the third pontoon and the fourth... under a city wall that was only 200 meters wide to the west, it was actually built to gather eight pontoon bridges, nearly half of the total number of pontoon bridges.

At this time, the artillery fire of the Ming army also changed. It no longer bombarded the city head, but bombarded the city wall with dense firepower. Wherever it hit, the stone and mud were shattered and the city wall collapsed. The destructive power was far beyond the imagination of the Mongols.

At this time, the vanguard of the Ming army had already rushed over the floating bridge and launched an attack on the sheep and horse wall under the city... The so-called sheep and horse wall is a circle of walls built outside the moat, which can be used to resist the enemy and facilitate the defenders on the city to use arrows and stones to kill the opponent. Generally, higher-level city defenses will build this. The Mongols were obviously very attentive to Dongsheng City. There was also this setting. This wall was a 6-foot-high and three-foot-thick earth wall. It reached the edge of the moat. If it was the season of water, the Ming army could not build a bridge.

But after all, it was an earth wall, which was eroded by water for years, and it was inevitable that there would be holes at the base. The Ming army expanded it with the tools in their hands and prepared to use explosives to explode. Because the city wall on the front was blown by artillery shells, the Mongolian army could only shoot from both sides, but relying on the power of the artillery, the Ming army still suffered heavy casualties. With the successors of the suicide squad, a row of holes the size of watermelon was finally dug out. The explosives contained in the iron barrel were immediately stuffed into the iron barrel, and after lit them with a torch, the suicide squad retreated with both hands and feet.

Just as they jumped into the water, a dazzling white light flashed, and the earth-shaking explosions rang one after another, and many Ming soldiers were fainted...

But more people were prepared for it. When the sky was full of soil, they got up desperately. They crossed the wall of sheep and horses that had been blown into flat ground and rushed under the city wall... There was no abandoned ladder or building cart, and they rushed to the city like this.

The Mongolian army on the city came to their senses from the explosion and stared at the Ming army with only iron silver hoes. They thought to themselves why these men didn't even have a ladder to fly up? The city wall was three meters high, and even if they could do light skills, wouldn't they? Besides, when was the Ming army so poor that they used farm tools to fight? Could it be a militia?

The next moment, they got the answer, and saw the Ming soldiers starting to dig out the walls. This was not an individual phenomenon, but the collective behavior of all the Ming soldiers who rushed to the city.

The Mengjun suddenly realized that the Ming army was whimsical. Could it be that this city wall with a base of three meters thick and wanted to explode with explosives? Although the Mongolians were not very proficient in gunpowder, they also knew that this was absolutely impossible. However, adhering to the principle that whenever the enemy insisted, we must oppose it. They desperately used rolling stones to block the wood and oil. This was also the moment when the siege troops had the greatest lethality. As soon as the oil was boiling down, several Ming troops fell to the ground with howling and one was torn down. They even cleared up a piece of it.

When the Ming army soldiers rushed to the city, the artillery fire could no longer shoot the city wall. Instead, they continued to suppress the city top. However, the Mongolian army had the city wall to block it and did not need to expose too much. They could pour the oil down, so the Ming army's artillery was better than nothing. They quickly moved the target and continued to bombard the city wall with heavy shells regardless of the casualties of their own soldiers. The bombing made the outside of the city wall on the west was burnt and tender, crisp and delicious. At this time, the Ming army's three-layer cowhide tent finally arrived at the city.

Under their cover, the subsequent soldiers dared to continue to press forward and dig the foundation of the city wall desperately. The Mongolians were shepherds and had been dealing with cowhide since childhood. At such a close distance, it was naturally impossible to be stumped by three layers of cowhide. They mixed human feces with tung oil and fryed them, and the cowhide was burnt through. "The iron slab was so hot that it was impossible to grasp. The Ming soldiers had to let go, and the tent fell down, and the boiling oil splashed on the soldiers." The skin was burnt and flesh was rotten, and the howling was churning.

The Ming army had to retreat for the time being. What awaited them was the ruthless blade of the supervisory team...

Looking at the soldiers who did not die of the Mongolian army but were killed by their comrades, Zhang Yuanxun, the infantry commander who was commanding the siege of the city in front of the enemy, looked like his nephew. However, the situation on the battlefield could not allow him to shake at all. Those who retreated without hearing the sound of gold were killed. This is the iron rule of the Qi family army, let alone in the most cruel siege battle!

The second wave of charge was launched soon. "This time, the Ming army added two layers of quilts soaked in the moat on the cowhide tent. Although it made it extremely heavy, it could at least hold on under the deadly tinder oil for a while.

The Ming army soldiers howled like wild animals. They rushed to the city again, still poaching frantically...

一“一“一凵一,一“一“一“一“一,一“一“一,一,一“一“一“一“一“一,一“一,一“一“一,一凵一“一“一.一,一“一“一“一,一“一“一,一,一“一”

This crazy scene had long seen the eyes of the Mongolian army leader in the tower on the city, urging the soldiers to fight desperately, while guessing what the Ming army was doing.

Just as he was talking, a female voice in panic sounded, "We must be prepared to be broken by the city wall!"

When the leaders saw that they were talking about Zhong Jinbeji. Since the Ming army invaded, this girl in the eyes of everyone in the past has won the trust of the tribe for her calm and intelligent performance. At least they would not think that she was talking nonsense like her uncles.

"How is that possible?" Noyandala said: "The walls are so thick that there is nothing in this world that can cause it to collapse except earthquakes."

"From yesterday's battle, the generals of the Ming army were extremely excellent. It was impossible to suddenly become stupid. Looking at their performance today, they have always had a clear purpose and specialize in this section of the city wall at all costs. So they must have a way." Zhong Jinwang glanced at a fat man beside him and said, "Uncle Dahaner. Who was responsible for the repair of this section of the city wall last year?" Last year, the Mongolian earthquake occurred in the Mongolian area. Jinong City was damaged to a certain extent." The cracks appeared on all three walls. For this reason, Jinong City huā cost a lot and invited craftsmen from Hohhot City to repair it.

The fat man called Dahaner suddenly had a terrible flash of thought in her heart when she said this. Naturally, he could not hide it. He said palely: "Yes, it was the one who invited him from Bansheng City. However, they did not have enough staff, so they also found another construction team from Bansheng. This section of the city wall was built by those from Bansheng."

"If it's really a wall, just wait for yourself!" An angry voice suddenly sounded, and everyone became obviously panicked.

"Now is not the time for disputes." Noyandala quickly stopped everyone from getting angry and said, "Come on to prepare a countermeasure." He said, looking at his daughter and said, "Zhong Jin, do you have any solutions?"

Seeing Zhong Jin nodded, he handed his sword to his daughter and said, "You are in full responsibility. Whoever doesn't listen? Just kill it!"

"Yes!" At this time, there was no need to worry about it, Zhong Jin took the sword and ran down the city.

1, one "one" "one "one" "one "one", one "one", one "one "one", one "one "one", one "one", one "one", one "one", one "one "one"

After making great sacrifices, the Ming army finally dug a pit nearly a hundred feet long, one foot wide and one foot deep at the waist of the western section of the city wall, and saw a camouflage brick wrapped in oil paper.
Chapter completed!
