Chapter 1560: Fleeing
"The Tartars are here!"
More than a hundred fleeing people turned around and saw the figures of Mongolian cavalry, but cursed.
When everyone heard this, they were even more panicked, but they ran towards the city gate desperately. However, they were more than a hundred meters away from the city gate, which made them extremely nervous.
At this time, they were afraid that the Tartars would catch up with them, and they were worried that the city gate would suddenly close.
"Are we going to die here?"
Several girls who were fleeing couldn't help but worry.
"Close the city gate quickly!"
Su Changyuan, the governor of Tongzhou, saw that the sound of cannons had just been fired, but instead saw the Mongolian cavalry running towards the place, and said loudly in panic.
Lin Weiran looked at the Mongolian cavalry rushing towards him in disappointment, glanced at Su Changyuan indifferently, and then turned his gaze to the city gate.
Zhang Jun was busy in front of the city gate, with fences placed in the center of the open space. Although he could not kill the enemy, he could undoubtedly stop the cavalry and at least slow down their charge.
The power of cavalry is not only because of their strong motivation, but also their charge ability. Many battle lines are often defeated by cavalry as soon as they are rushed, thus becoming defeated.
Boom!
There was another loud noise at the top of the city. The Folang machine cannon, which was imitated by the Zhengde Dynasty, finally dragged out of the arsenal, and another lead bullet hit the front with a parabolic trajectory.
What is disappointing is that the cannon has a momentum, but it is not accurate. Not to mention hitting the Mongolian cavalry, it is more than 100 meters away from the Mongolian cavalry.
"Run!"
Hamu saw the remote and severe shells, and saw that the city gate was still not closed. Many people were still outside the city, and they had already seen hope of entering the city, slapped the whip and rushed forward.
"Enter the city! Come on the city quickly!"
Zhang Jun set up a fence to direct the people to speak loudly.
He also did not expect that the Mongolian cavalry would come so quickly, and he did not expect that they would really dare to use a thousand cavalry to capture the Tongzhou city, but they would urge the remaining people to say.
Under the cover of hope and fear, the people were already desperately rushing towards the city gate. Although they still couldn't hide their fear, the moment they stepped into the city gate, they had already felt grateful to the court.
Da! Da!
The Mongolian cavalry was as fast as lightning, and they rushed over from a small hillside and entered Tongzhou City in the blink of an eye.
"Hold on! Hold on! Hold on!"
When Su Changyuan saw that the Mongolian cavalry was already at the city, his heart immediately rose to his throat. He no longer cared about the demeanor of the civil servant and shouted loudly at the sergeant below.
There was an open open space in front of the city gate, and there was even a large pier to the right. However, at this time, there were no people, and there were several fences on the open space.
This fence is undoubtedly a barrier, and there is no need to block Mongolian cavalry outside. As long as they slow down, they can win time to enter the city and close the city gate.
"Go back and prepare to close the city gate!"
Zhang Jun led the soldiers under his command and followed the last group of people back to Tongzhou City.
At this time, the city was already extremely nervous. Whether it was a civil servant or a military general, they were nervously looking at the fences on the open space, hoping to win enough time for Zhang Jun's retreat.
Enough! It should be enough!
Fan Jian also let go of his hatred for Lin Junran, looked at the distance between the two sides, and made a judgment in his heart.
Hamuba Duer naturally saw rows of fences on the open space, and even saw the Ming soldiers covering the last group of people into the city, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
Why is this happening!
The people on the top of the city watched Zhang Jun bring people into the city in an orderly manner. They saw the dawn of victory, but they looked at the fence in a daze, and their hearts were immediately cold.
drive!
Hamu whipped Du'er hard on the horse with a horse whip. The horse's skin even had blood stains, and the horse's speed did not decrease, just like a pegasus crossing the fence, showing the agile body of the Mongolian horse.
Although some Mongolian soldiers planted in the fences with their men and horses, more cavalrymen showed their superb riding skills, and did not slow down their speed. They walked past the fence and headed straight for the city gate.
"Form a formation!"
Zhang Jun had already retreated to the city gate with his men, and faced the Mongolian cavalry approaching, and immediately issued an order.
There is a recognized fact in the Ming army: the border army is the strongest. Although the Ding Biangu is stationed in Tongzhou City for many years and its combat power is much worse than before, it is ultimately stronger than the border army.
Facing the approaching Mongolian cavalry, if the guards were on the way, they would have retreated, but the soldiers of the Dingbiangu had already formed gun formations in an orderly manner under the leadership of Zhang Jun.
Of course, their current mission is not to fight the Mongolian army, but to prevent the Mongolian cavalry from retreating to the city, making them feel a little hope of making achievements.
That's why they picked up the spears in their hands and formed a dense array of guns.
Whether ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, commanders cannot let their cavalry attack the opponent's dense gun array foolishly.
Now facing the orderly gun array of the Ming army, Hamu raised the corner of Du'er's mouth slightly, and immediately took down the bow and arrow from behind and shot directly at the gun array.
"What should I do! What should I do!"
Su Changyuan watched the Mongolian cavalry coming so fiercely, and saw the people walking in the city cave, but anxiously hit the other hand with the back of his hand, and looked at Lin Qingran nervously.
Lin Xuran felt helpless as the situation deteriorated, but at this moment, he could not panic. He only hoped that Zhang Jun could block the Mongolian soldiers from being merged into the city gate.
"Swoosh!"
"Swoosh!"
"Swoosh!"
...
The Mongolian cavalry not only had superb riding skills, but also had first-class archery skills. Their speed did not decrease, and arrows came from horses towards the gun array.
The shield was in front of him, blocking more than a dozen flying arrows.
"Retreat! Retreat into the city"
Zhang Jun originally did not intend to confront the other side head-on, so he issued an order.
However, the shield finally showed flaws. As the Mongolian cavalry became lower and lower, they had excellent riding on horseback. Some of the stray arrows were the soldiers who shot into the formation, and they were immediately filled with blood.
Zhang Jun led his soldiers to retreat into the city cave. The soldiers in front could still maintain their formation. The soldiers behind suddenly dropped their spears and ran wildly inside.
"Don't run!...It's over!"
Su Changyuan murmured as he watched the gun formation suddenly collapse and the soldiers behind him had already fled.
Ha ha……
When Hamuba Du'er saw the fleeing Ming soldiers, he couldn't help laughing wildly, and immediately followed the group of Ming soldiers in the fleeing group into the city, and was about to launch a crazy massacre.
