Outside Turpan's Anle City, there are endless military camps, neatly arranged in the wilderness. Teams of cavalry are constantly patrolling to prevent people in Anle City from escaping.
Such days lasted for several days, and on the eighth day, the main army led by Liu Jin finally arrived at Anle City in Turpan.
Suddenly, outside the entire Anle City, a mighty army covered the sky and the sun, with flags flying. Everyone in the entire Anle City knew that the Ming Dynasty was about to launch an attack.
At full speed, Huo Zhe hurriedly came to the top of the city and looked at the Ming army outside the city. Groups of Ming troops were arranged neatly, like blocks. Under the leadership of officers at all levels, the entire Ming army was
Anle City was surrounded by people.
"It's so fast, their infantry is almost as good as cavalry."
Huo Zhe silently calculated the distance and time. It was two thousand miles from Jiayuguan to Turpan. However, after the advance cavalry arrived, their follow-up infantry arrived in just eight days.
There were horses everywhere in the military camps outside the city. These Ming troops were so extravagant that even the infantry had horses to ride. They might not be professional cavalry, but if necessary, these could also be cavalry.
"Is there any news from Ma Hemu?"
Man Su'er asked desperately as he looked at the mighty Ming army outside the city.
"No~"
"Even if there is, support will not come quickly. Now it depends on how long we can survive."
Huo Zhe shook his head slightly. The attack speed of the Ming Dynasty people was really too fast. From such a long distance, they actually reached Turpan in such a short period of time.
outside the city.
Liu Jin, who had just arrived, took a telescope to carefully observe the situation in Anle City. The city was not big, similar to a small county town in the Ming Dynasty, and the city walls were not too high, so it was not difficult to attack.
"Send the order, attack the city, rest in Anle City today!"
As Liu Jin's order was conveyed, hundreds of Miyun cannons were lined up on a slope outside Anle City, and an order was given.
"Boom!"
Intense artillery fire sounded, thick white smoke rose into the sky, and the shells roared towards Anle City.
Like a violent storm, the incomparable power of the Miyun Cannon was fully displayed at this moment. Round after round of shells roared in the sky for free, and then fell heavily on Anle City.
"boom!"
For a moment, the entire Anle City was shrouded in cannonballs. The terrifying kinetic energy carried by the cannonballs made the entire Anle City a mess in just a blink of an eye, and buildings collapsed one after another.
On top of the city, Man Su'er was worried. The fireman was frightened by the intensive artillery attack and hurriedly found a place to take shelter under the leadership of the guards.
"What kind of cannon is this?"
"The range is so far?"
"How many artillery pieces did the Ming Dynasty people bring here?"
The fireman could not help but change his face as he listened to the rumbling sound of shelling.
They also have artillery. When the Mongolian army marched westward, they relied not on cavalry but on artillery when they attacked cities and conquered the territory. In terms of artillery, the Huihui artillery made by the Huihui people was quite famous. It was very powerful and famous for its long range.
But at this moment, listening to the rumble of shelling coming from outside the city, and feeling the shells falling like rain above his head, his expression changed.
With such powerful and terrifying artillery, it is doubtful whether Anle City can hold on today.
"Dong~dong~"
Round after round of cannonballs were raining down on Anle City as if they were free of charge. Everyone in Anle City was on tenterhooks, fearing that a cannonball without eyes would fall on them.
"attack!"
Along with the rumbling sound of shelling, Liu Jin launched an attack.
Groups of Ming troops marched towards Anle City with neat steps, their muskets already aimed at the defenders on the city wall.
Soon they entered the range of the muskets, but the bows and arrows of the defenders above the city could not hit the Ming army.
"First team~"
"Aim~"
"shooting!"
Following the commander's order, the Ming army at the front began to shoot at the defenders above the city with muskets.
There was a sound like frying beans, and the defenders on the top of the city suddenly howled and howled. Under the intensive musket attack, anyone who dared to show their head above the city wall would immediately be attacked by numerous muskets.
All of a sudden, the entire garrison on top of the city didn't even dare to raise their heads, let alone use their bows and arrows to fight back.
The musketeers suppressed the defenders on the top of the city, while the demolition soldiers who were responsible for blasting quickly rushed under the city gate and packed bags of explosives at the enemy. Soon they were piled up under the city gate.
"boom!"
Accompanied by an earth-shaking loud noise, the entire Anle City seemed to be shaking. The city wall at the city gate turned over like an earth dragon and collapsed suddenly. A large section of the city wall was directly blown up by the terrifying gunpowder, and the gate was blown to pieces.
"kill!"
Yang Yun, who was riding on the tall horse, immediately smiled. He raised the saber in his hand and led the Ming army to rush in through the gap.
"The city gate has been breached~"
"The city gate has been breached!"
Mansu'er, who had just returned to his palace, was in shock and soon heard such a sound, and he couldn't help being shocked.
"The city gate was breached?"
"How is this possible? No matter how powerful the Ming army is, it is impossible to break through the city gate in just a short time, right?"
However, this is the fact. The fireman, wearing armor and holding a scimitar, hurriedly came to Mansu'er.
"Khan, hurry up and break through. The Ming army has breached the city gate. If you don't leave, you won't be able to leave."
"I have organized the most heroic warriors, and they will definitely escort the Khan safely to break out of the encirclement."
"How did our city gate break down?"
"The wall of Anle City is tall and strong. Even if it is breached, it is impossible to say that it will be breached all at once. We can't hold on for even a quarter of an hour?"
Mansu'er's face was filled with disbelief. He looked at the fireman and asked.
"The Ming people used gunpowder to blow down our city wall. Their muskets were so powerful that they suppressed the defenders at the top of our city beyond the range of our bows and arrows. Then they sent people to plant explosives under the city gate and directly destroyed it.
Our city walls were blown down."
The fireman said helplessly.
"What explosives?"
"It's actually so powerful?"
"This is no longer important. Let's break out quickly. I have already made arrangements. We will break out from the west city gate and go directly to Mahem Khan."
Huo Zhe Ding only asked people to lead Man Su'er to break out of the siege in the west city, and he also introduced anxiously.
At this time, the entire Anle City had turned into a battlefield, and groups of Ming troops were spreading out throughout Anle City in a very organized and disciplined manner.
There were gunshots everywhere, like fried beans, and with billowing white smoke rising from street to street, a large number of people must have been killed.
Turpan's warriors are all very brave, but their combat quality is far behind that of the Ming army in terms of training, equipment, or tactics.
The speed of the Ming army's sweep and attack was beyond imagination. Whether it was long-range musket attacks or close-quarters hand-to-hand combat, the Ming army was also very brave. Just like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, it quickly swept through Anle City.
The west city gate was still under the control of the defenders for the time being. The heavy city gates quickly opened, and groups of cavalry rushed out quickly. Mansu'er and Huo Zhe were also hiding in the team and heading toward the city.
Rushed out.
But Liu Jin had already been prepared, and there were already cavalry and infantry guards at the city gates.
Groups of Ming troops were deployed, their muskets aimed at the city gate.
As the cavalry rushed out, intensive gunshots began to ring out continuously. The cavalry who had just rushed out were suddenly given a blow, and like waves of wheat falling in the wind, a large piece fell instantly.
"Bang!"
The gunfire was as dense as fried beans, and the three-stage shooting maintained strong enough and long-lasting vitality. In the blink of an eye, the entire west city gate was littered with corpses and blood flowed into rivers.
Less than thirty steps from the city gate, it almost became an insurmountable chasm, with rivers of blood, mountains of corpses, and dead horses.
"Go back ~ go back!"
The fireman had no choice but to shout that the Ming army's muskets were really terrifying.
Obviously they were all infantry, and there were no obstacles or anything like that. They just stood neatly at the gate of the city. Under the gunshots, it was like an iron wall. They still couldn't break through or rush out.
, both men and horses were killed by this terrible musket.
It's too terrifying. With such powerful and terrifying muskets, coupled with such rigorous training, although their scimitars are sharp and their bows and arrows are accurate, they can't even touch the sides of the Ming army. They can only watch helplessly.
Watching the people around him continue to fall on the path of charge.
The battle in Anle City lasted for two hours, until the sunset appeared in the western sky and half of the sky turned red, and the fighting in Anle City gradually subsided.
Man Su'er was captured alive, and Huo Zhe died on the heroic charge. The entire Anle City was quiet, with only groups of Ming troops marching neatly in the city to continuously chase and kill the few remaining defenders.
As for Liu Jin, he was not in a hurry to enter the city. Taking Anle City was just a trivial matter and he could easily attack it casually.
The Ming army, which was armed to the teeth, had absolute advantages in every aspect, but it was still unable to defeat Anle City. Liu Jin would have to kill him with that piece of tofu.
At this moment, Liu Jin is inspecting the field hospital.
If there is a battle, there will be casualties. Even though the Ming army was armed to the teeth and had extremely high combat literacy and quality, there were still casualties in such a large-scale battle.
Here at the field hospital, the medical team of Daming Medical College led by Wu Yuntu is extremely busy.
