When Shi Nigan proposed to attack the city, Arutai was worried that Wang Xian would have some tricks, but he was one of the best escape experts in the world. Even if he could not capture the Great King's City, it would still be easy for him to lead an army to escape. That's why he agreed to give up to Shi Ni Gan.
Nigan attacked for another day.
Originally, Arutai hoped that if he could achieve success, he could also attack his increasingly arrogant eldest son. Unexpectedly, Shi Nigan attacked the city in one day and occupied the east wall. It seemed that the next moment, he would be defeated.
Can capture the entire royal city.
This suddenly ignited the desire of everyone, including Arutai, and they began to send troops to attack without hesitation. They continued to increase troops and increase troops. As a result, more and more Tatar troops were trapped in the city. The original plan was to be short and quick.
A siege battle turned into an endless tactic... Now, both Arutai and Shi Nigan are vaguely aware that they seem to have been calculated.
This was really horrifying to think about, and Shi Nigan discovered to his dismay that the reason why he was able to capture the east city wall was not because of his own brilliance or martial prowess, nor because of Mrs. Baoyin's benevolence, but because the other party wanted him to capture it.
Because only in this way can the Tatar army feel that victory is in sight, tightly entangle them in the king's city, let their minds gradually be occupied by the battle in the city, and involuntarily ignore the real threat-Wang Xian's
The main force!
As expected, the Tatars fell into the trap. Gradually, from Arutai down, everyone only had the eyes of the King's City. In order to obtain the victory that seemed to be close at hand, they continued to increase their troops in the city and even deployed them to deal with Wang Xian.
As a result, Abu Zian, because of the lack of troops, actually broke camp and went west to join Arutai in the King's City. Arutai lost its defense line against the Ming army, and the central gate was suddenly wide open. Once the main force of the Ming army appeared, where could there be any more troops?
If you have the courage to resist, you can only run away.
In the end, Arutai took away a total of 40,000 Tatar cavalry, and 10,000 Tatars did not withdraw due to various reasons. As for the servant army, not a single one was taken away... Although it was a bit too much for this strong man to break his wrist.
It was tragic, but being able to evacuate 20,000 direct troops from the city in just two quarters of an hour has to be said to be a miracle. Arutai lives up to his reputation as the "God of Retreat", and his prestige in the military is even greater.
Taller……
Because everyone realizes that if you follow Master Tai, even if you can't always win, you can at least guarantee that you won't die...
Since on the east city wall, one can clearly see the servant army advancing westward like a rising tide, and the Tatar army retreating eastwards like an ebbing tide, it is natural that it can also be seen clearly on the west city wall.
A group of officers guarding the city were confused. They didn't know what kind of medicine the Tatar Grand Master across the street was selling in his gourd. Some people speculated: "Could it be that Arutai thought he had a chance of victory and wanted the Tatars to reduce their casualties?"
"It's impossible. It's already here. They must be thinking about grabbing credit and stuff. How can they give the benefits to those servants?" Mongolians know Mongolians well. A Mongolian officer shook his head and said.
Everyone was talking about it, but they heard Chen Duo say in a deep voice: "Alutai probably wants to escape again..."
Why use ‘again’? Arutai, who was leading his army to flee northward in a hurry, sneezed loudly.
"How does General Chen know?" The generals stood at the head of the west city. Their sight was blocked by the east city wall, and they could not see the smoke and dust in the distance for the time being.
"Look at the south wall." Chen Duo pointed to the empty south wall and said, "If Arutai didn't want to escape, how could he let the wall go?"
"Sure enough!" The generals had been concentrating on looking at the city before, and did not notice the south wall that had long been occupied by the Tatars. At this moment, they saw that there was no one on it. "Indeed, if Arutai wants to attack the city, he will definitely
We won’t throw away the southern city wall that was so easy to capture!”
"Has Arutai lost his mind and gone crazy?" The generals asked in disbelief: "Why are you retreating at this time?"
"The reason is very simple." Chen Duo said solemnly: "Follow me to the turret and you will know after taking a look." After saying that, he turned around calmly and led everyone to the only turret that was still in the hands of the defenders. When he went upstairs
, General Chen actually mixed garlic under his feet and almost tripped over the steps... Under his calm appearance, his excited heart was about to jump out of his chest.
The generals climbed onto the tower and looked eastward following Chen Duo's finger, and saw a yellow cloud rolling in on the horizon in the distance...
"This is……"
"This is……"
The generals could not believe their eyes. Some people rubbed their eyelids vigorously, while others pinched their thighs, fearing that what they saw was an illusion! No one dared to blink, for fear that if they blinked, the yellow cloud that was getting closer and closer would appear.
Suddenly disappeared...
"Yes, our reinforcements have arrived!" Chen Duo's voice sounded in everyone's ears, high-pitched and trembling.
"The reinforcements have arrived! They are real reinforcements! The reinforcements have finally arrived!" The generals finally believed that everything was not a dream. After more than a month of holding on, after three days and three nights of fighting in the city, and after paying countless lives,
, at this moment of near desperation, reinforcements finally arrived.
Amid the heartfelt cheers, the generals hugged each other and cried bitterly, feeling overwhelmed with emotion...
"Now is not the time to celebrate!" Baoyin's voice appeared on the arrow tower.
When the generals heard this, they quickly stopped crying, wiped away their tears with their sleeves, looked at Baoyin, and heard her say in a deep voice: "Now is the time to make the enemy pay for his blood debt tenfold!"
"Yes!" The soldiers raised their chests and responded loudly, their voices almost knocking over the eaves of the turret.
"Go!" Baoyin clenched her fist tightly, waved her riding crop, and made a clear sound that broke through the air. A cold voice burst out from her silver teeth: "No one will be spared!"
"Yes!" The soldiers responded loudly again, feeling that their whole bodies were filled with strength. When they went down to the turret, they seemed to be able to crush the steps.
"Spread the word and let everyone in the city know that our reinforcements have arrived! Arutai has escaped!" Standing on the top of the city, Chen Duo ordered the generals: "Especially the servants, we must let them know.
I have become a scapegoat!"
"Yes!" Everyone's eyes were shining with fire, and they responded loudly again.
"Okay, you all have only one order from now on, which is to kill the enemy bravely and take revenge!" Chen Duo also picked up a saber, threw the cloak on his shoulder to the ground, and took the lead to get off the city!
"Kill! Kill! Kill!" The generals also drew their weapons and rushed down the city wall with a roar...
In the King's City, the servant army was doing its best to fight against the defenders. What they didn't expect was that after the Tatars withdrew, they were still under great pressure. The defenders huddled in a corner of the west city were not what they imagined.
So delicious. They launched charges several times, but were beaten back by the defenders, resulting in heavy casualties.
But this time, the servant army did not retreat as usual, because they were full of gratitude to the Tatar Grand Master. They never expected that Arutai could recognize their contribution and let the direct Tatars step aside. The so-called scholars
Dying for one's best friend is almost the same feeling...
So at this moment, the servant army is fighting very bravely, and it still has the advantage of strength. After one wave of offensive is repelled, another wave is launched, without any intention of retreating...
Until, the voice of "The king's army has arrived, Arutai has run away with the Tatars!" was heard everywhere on the battlefield, and the voices were spoken in both Mongolian and Chinese.
‘The king’s master has arrived, Arutai has taken the Tatars and ran away!’
‘The king’s master has arrived, Arutai has taken the Tatars and ran away!’
The servant army, which was full of blood and willing to die generously, suddenly slowed down their charging pace. They looked at each other and asked each other: "Did you hear clearly? It is said that the Grand Master ran away with his direct descendants..."
"No way, why did the Grand Master run away?" There were many others who were immersed in blood and couldn't extricate themselves.
"The Ming army has arrived." A clear-headed person has completely understood.
"Ah! Why did he suddenly become kind-hearted? It turned out that he wanted us to be his scapegoats!" Now, even the fool knew what was going on.
As if by magic, the dozens of attacks launched by the servant army on various fronts surrounding the West City came to a standstill at the same time. The servant army officers and soldiers stood numbly on the street, looking back one after another, and sure enough they saw the east wall
, there were only a few solitary flags, trembling in the wind, but no one could be seen.
"They ran away..." The last bit of luck was shattered by the scene on top of the city. The faces of all the servants were extremely ugly, as if it was raining heavily late at night. Fortunately, a kind person stayed overnight, but when they woke up, they found that the chrysanthemums had been covered by him.
It was like exploding... Some of the emotionally fragile servants had already begun to cry.
This feeling of being insulted, deceived, and harmed spread rapidly among the servants. Everyone's fighting spirit was like boiling soup and throwing snow, and completely disappeared. There was only one thought left in their hearts, run...
But where could they run? The already scarred and exhausted defenders were like tigers, rushing out from alleys, alleys, ruined walls, and hidden tunnels, with blood-red eyes and weapons raised high.
, pounced on the executioner who destroyed their home and killed their brothers!
"Kill!" The sound of killing was loud, and the defenders seemed to rush out from all directions. The servants who had lost all intention to fight had no courage to resist. They all turned around and ran away, only hating their parents for being born.
Got two legs.
At this time, the Tatars who were still looting all over the city despite military orders were completely confused. Only when they heard the shouts all over the city did they realize that they had failed the grand master's love. They hurriedly carried the stolen goods on their backs.
Treasures, iron pots and shovels, all fled towards the east city.
When they fled to the city gate, they were all dumbfounded. Outside the east city gate, the Ming army had already arrived, with dazzling armor, majestic cavalry, and countless banners like clouds...
The Tatars hurriedly turned around and tried to leave the city in another direction, but they encountered the servant army fleeing from the west.
The Tatars still couldn't figure out the situation, so they shouted angrily: "Go over and resist!"
The servants pulled out their weapons and rushed forward. The Tatars couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that with the help of these idiots, their chances of escaping would be much greater...
However, when the two sides met, the scimitar in the hands of the servants struck them hard on the head!
