After several long knives cut into pieces the last resisting defender, there was no longer any defender standing on the east wall. The attacking Tatar army burst into loud cheers, as if they had captured the entire city wall.
, like occupying the entire King's City.
"A bunch of idiots!" Shi Nigan cursed fiercely, but found that Arutai also raised his arms, ready to cheer.
Apparently he heard the scolding of Shi Nigan, and the cheers were stuck in Arutai's throat. The Tatar Grand Master put down his arms in embarrassment, looking quite funny.
"Father, it's not the time to celebrate yet, we must work hard and continue to attack the north and south walls!" Shi Nigan quickly explained: "Only capturing the east wall is still far from victory..."
"Of course I know..." Arutai snorted, and then stepped over Sunirgan and ordered: "Let the sons work harder. After breaking the city, massacre the city for three days!"
As Arutai's order was conveyed, more enthusiastic cheers erupted from the top of the city.
Perhaps it was getting late and the light was not good, so Arutai did not see the anger on the faces of the Tatar nobles. He let his soldiers massacre the city for three days. What would be left of the Tatar nobles?
Torches were lit, piles of firewood were ignited, and the top and bottom of the city wall were illuminated as brightly as day. The Tatar army was obviously going to work hard and fight at night!
However, they hit a snag at the beginning. The turrets at the north and south ends of the east city wall blocked their way. The archers were condescending and fired their arrows without any miss, killing scores of Tatar soldiers.
The Tatars hurriedly fought back with bows and arrows, but the facilities on the turret were complete, with parapets to block bows and arrows, and holes for archers to shoot. The defenders attacked freely on the turret, with very few casualties.
The Tatars suffered heavy losses from the barrage of arrows. They quickly raised their shields and ladders and approached the turret wall. But when they set up the ladders and tried to climb up, boiling oil and boiling water came as expected. It was still familiar.
The temperature, the familiar smell, the hot Tatars held their heads and screamed, falling from the ladder with a crackle.
The Tatar officers on the top of the city did not expect that the city wall had been taken down, and they were blocked by two small turrets. They were very embarrassed. We waved our weapons and drove our men forward, and quickly attacked the two turrets.
Come down!
However, unexpectedly, no matter how many troops they invested, the attack only produced no results. Although the fighting was lively, it could not damage the two turrets. The anxious Tatar commander jumped to his feet.
Still outside the city, Shi Nigan was a bystander. When he saw this, he cursed: "Idiot! How wide is the city wall? No matter how much more troops are added, it will be useful!" It turns out that the city wall is only one foot wide, but the turret is nearly two feet wide, that is,
That is to say, although the Tatars have many troops, but when they stand on the city wall and attack the turrets, their frontline troops are naturally limited. And the defenders on the turrets always face fewer enemy forces than their own, so they naturally have no pressure and remain unmoved.
.
"Order your troops to coordinate the attack from outside the city!" Shi Nigan looked at the two Tatar nobles and ordered them to attack the north and south walls at the same time. Cooperate with the troops on the top of the city to capture the turrets as soon as possible, and then seize the north and south walls...
On the north corner tower, Baoyin and Chen Duo saw the mobilization of the Tatar army. An officer laughed and said: "I didn't expect Nashenigan to be stronger than Arutai."
"Alutai has been fighting in the field all his life and has never had the opportunity to attack a city. It would be inappropriate to judge the father as inferior to his son based on this." Baoyin said something fair to Arutai: "If we attack the city today, we will lose nirvana."
His ideas are probably far inferior to those of Arutai."
"Madam, we cannot allow them to attack the north and south city walls," Chen Duo said with a serious smile: "After the eastern city wall was lost, the pressure on the north and south city walls was too great..."
"Then," Baoyin said calmly after hearing this: "Just don't let them attack the city wall."
"Yes." Although Baoyin's order was a bit confusing, Chen Duo agreed without hesitation and turned around to execute it.
As soon as Chen Duo left, Sana couldn't help but ask Baoyin: "Don't worry, it's already dark, why haven't the reinforcements arrived yet?"
"Didn't I say that he won't come back today?" Baoyin looked at Sana who had an anxious face and said with a smile.
"How long has this been? If he doesn't come again, he will wait to collect the body for us!" Sana stamped her feet angrily and said with tears in her eyes: "How many good men will be killed by your procrastination!"
"He's not dawdling, he's just doing what he should do." Although Baoyin has not contacted Wang Xian, she seems to know what he is doing. She believes in her man so much and is so proud of him!' But
I'm not bad either, I'm worthy of you as the Duke of the Kingdom!" Baoyin snorted softly in his heart and wrinkled his nose, as if saying to Sana, or saying to himself: "The King's City will not fall.
forever……"
Sana only thought that Baoyin was comforting her, and her face was full of worry. She stared at the night sky in the distance with hatred, wishing to cut Wang Xian into pieces with a thousand knives...
The Tatar army had just opened up its posture and was preparing to attack the north and south walls when suddenly they heard an earth-shattering bang from the east wall. The officers and soldiers couldn't help but look at each other, wondering what was happening over there.
After a while, I suddenly heard someone cheering: "The city gate is open! Come into the city quickly!"
The Tatar soldiers were okay at first, but when they saw the cannon fodder troops running towards the east wall, the Tatars suddenly came to their senses, and the city gates were opened! They didn't attack this damn city, so hurry in.
Burn, kill, and loot the city!
The next moment, the nature of the Mongols as Kou Fei's army was clearly revealed. The soldiers who had already set up their formations and were preparing to attack the city dropped their ladders, carts, and shields one after another, and rushed towards the east wall. Not only the cannon fodder troops were like this, but even the cannon fodder troops were like this.
The Tatars who oversaw them were no exception.
This is also human nature. When the Mongols come in, they serve as people and when they go out, they serve as soldiers. The tribal leaders are anxious for the men to fight and never pay them. Naturally, no one will do anything that is not beneficial, let alone fight with their lives. As a
In return, the spoils plundered in battle are the private property of the soldiers.
So as soon as they heard that the city gate was open, the Tatars could not hold back their temper. They rushed eastwards in a swarm, fearing that they would be overtaken by others if they were slow.
The leading officers wanted to yell at them at first, but seeing that no one paid any attention to them, they simply stopped talking nonsense and ran away to the east.
As expected, the city gate on the east side was wide open. The Tatar soldiers were like crazy, pouring into the city through the gate. Even the Tatar troops who were fighting fiercely on the top of the city withdrew their troops and went down the ladder to the city wall without even bothering to go up to the turret.
The defenders? Some smart people simply moved the ladders to the inside of the city wall and went directly from the city wall to the city!
In the distance, looking at the Tatar army that suddenly fell into madness, they jumped up and down in despair, yelling: "Who opened the city gate?!" Ordinarily, if the war has reached this level, the city gate has long been blocked.
The defenders blocked it with earth and wood, making it impossible to open it.
"It is said that there was a sudden explosion in the city gate, which directly opened a passage..." A group of Tatar nobles said happily: "In any case, it is a good thing!"
"Fart!" Shi Nigan said angrily: "As soon as the city gate is opened, the army turns into bandits, who will listen to military orders again? This battle is a fart!"
"Hasn't the Great King's City been captured?" Everyone laughed, and some people joked: "Congratulations to Dadaiji, we will conquer the Great King's City in one day!"
"Three city walls are still there, and the main force of the defenders is still there, how can we pacify the royal city?!" Shi Nigan beat his chest and stamped his feet, as if he were mourning his heir. As the eldest son of Arutai, he accompanied his father through the long humiliating years of the Yongle Dynasty, so naturally he would
Thinking about how to wash away the shame. In order to study the tactics of the Ming Dynasty, Shi Nigan had read a lot of military books. Of course, he knew that the enemy was in a desperate situation and his family was in the city. He would never see the city gate like usual.
If you lose, you will run away, but you will fight to the end.
The so-called sad soldiers must win, and arrogant soldiers must lose, refers to this situation!
Just when Shi Nigan was about to educate the Tatar nobles who were full of horse manure, his father finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"Okay, you kid, don't ask for full blame." Arutai glanced at Shi Nigan with some dissatisfaction, thinking that it's not over yet. He couldn't let Shi Nigan perform any longer, otherwise his subordinates would not be able to tell who is the boss.
Thinking of this, Arutai cleared his throat and said, "It's been a busy day and you've worked hard. I'll leave the rest to my father."
'Shameless!' When all the Tatar nobles heard this, these two words popped up in their hearts. Although they were shameless, they were not shameless to this extent. This shows that it makes sense for Arutai to become the Grand Master.
Because he is more shameless than everyone else.
Arutai and everyone thought that Shi Nigan would be furious, but unexpectedly he didn't say a word and just stood aside with a cold face, as if waiting for a good show.
"Hurry up and take down the whole city in one go." Arutai didn't take it seriously and gave orders confidently. In his opinion, the Great King's City was no longer a concern. The only thing to worry about was Wang Xian's reinforcements. Arutai
He looked at the leader in charge of the scouts and asked, "Where are the imperial troops?"
"Go back to the Grand Master and report back that the Ming army has not advanced today." The Tatar nobleman replied quickly.
"No progress?" Arutai frowned and asked, "Why?"
"I don't know. Maybe they are acclimatized, maybe the old soldiers of the Ming Dynasty need to rest..." the Tatar nobleman joked.
"Whatever! As long as they stay where they are, that's fine!" Arutai pulled up his gray beard and laughed loudly: "We just have a good time!" A group of Tatar nobles followed suit.
As he started to laugh, Arutai said something else: "It is said that Baoyinqiqige is the pearl of the prairie. I want to try it this time to see if he has the same taste as other women!"
After saying that, Arutai laughed loudly. All the Tatar nobles really wanted to laugh this time, but seeing Shi Nigan's gloomy expression, they all did not dare to be too presumptuous. They all looked weird,
