Throughout history, war usually takes the final victory of the superior side, but the morale of the army is often the biggest variable. Once the morale of the army is down, it is just a mere appearance.

As the assassination of Zhao Dongcheng, the highest commander of Shizhou City and his think tank Ding Shimei, this is undoubtedly a major blow to Shizhou City and will naturally shake the morale of the army.

It was precisely because Altan knew this clearly, and realized that there was indeed a problem with his military rations, that was tore up the agreement and issued instructions to attack the city.

This choice is undoubtedly very correct. When Ningzhou City lost its backbone, this approach not only seized the opportunity, but also made the city even more chaotic.

The afternoon sun shines through layers of clouds and renders it in this ancient city.

Ladders were hung on the city wall, and the sound of killing was continued under the city. Even when facing stones and arrows, the Mongolians showed a ferocious look on their faces.

"After capturing this city, all the women and treasures inside are ours!" Altan rode on a tall horse, and also came to supervise the battle himself, throwing a big pancake at his subordinates who were sieging the city.

The Mongolian cavalry seemed to be fed with chicken blood. Even though a wooden ladder was pushed down by the Ming army at the top of the city with a pole, even if there were swords and guns waiting for them, they kept climbing upwards.

puff!

ah!

don't want……

Ningzhou City is a prefecture city with a wall of nearly ten meters high. It is not easy for Mongolian cavalry to attack. Especially those Mongolian cavalry who climbed up and fell down, not only fell down their legs, but many people were

He fell to his internal organs and broke all the way, showing various ways of dying.

"I Khan will be rewarded with great rewards after taking this city!"

Altan found that the city was stronger than he thought, but he did not turn around. Only by moving forward bravely was the best tactic. Those tactics with different intentions were destined to be difficult to become a climate, so he continued to inspire his subordinates.

It was at this moment that a cursing voice suddenly came from the top of the city wall, and then it suddenly stopped.

"Since their lives are not worthy of your wife's life, I have to send them on the road!" Han Xing has never been a coward. When he saw Altan tear up the agreement, he immediately fought back.

this……

When the Mongolian cavalry who were sieging the city saw this scene, they were stunned. They never thought that Ningzhou City, which had lost its commander, would be so iron-blooded.

Especially the people from the Turut tribe rushed to the front. They wanted to snatch the city and save their leader Batel as soon as possible, but they didn't expect that their leader had been held on his neck by a knife.

"If you keep them, you can still get a life! Otherwise, when Ben Khan enters the city, all of you will die!" Altan also made a promise in the face of the tough Korean star.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

As Han Xing waved his sword, blood immediately splashed, and more than a dozen Mongolian leaders were cut down one by one as if they were cut into cabbage, and their heads rolled down from the top of the city.

Han Xing adheres to the iron-blooded style of Leizhou Guards, so it is naturally impossible for these prisoners to leave their lives for the so-called retreat. However, he responds with a tough response: "If I am here in this city, you can't get in!"

"Kill in, slaughter these Han criminals, and avenge our tribe!" Altan saw the right time to guide his resentment, pointed at the top of the city and ordered loudly.

Although the people of the Turut tribe were like deflated balls, the Mongolian cavalry could have the glory of the Yuan Dynasty and already had their qualities.

Even though people kept falling from the ten-meter-high ladder, even if stones and logs were smashed on it, they continued to climb one after another.

"It's really...famous!"

Korean stars have experienced many wars over the years and participated in various wars of fighting against Japanese devils and quelling rebellions. At this moment, they also felt the courage of the Mongolian cavalry and muttered to themselves vigilantly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a personal guard hurriedly ran up to the city tower and reported: "Commander Han, something is wrong, they also launched a fierce attack on the east side of the city!"

Han Xing sighed in his heart, knowing that these Mongolians are not easy to deal with.

However, he also had rich experience in defending the city, so he immediately sent someone to the east to reinforce the city. As for the troops in the south, he did not intend to mobilize them, and always felt that this side would not be quiet.

This is true. The south side was soon attacked, and the three walls were under tremendous pressure at the same time.

Korean star knew that Altan was tempted on all sides, but he was serious about re-mobilizing and deploying. In fact, the key to defense is to take into account both the various places and also the spiritual means to dispatch. This is the most scientific way of defense.

Fortunately, he has also been studying defense strategies over the years and is also a famous defensive general of Leizhou Guard, which allows him to display his talents.

But some things always happen inappropriately, which makes things worse immediately.

But whether intentionally or unintentionally, a house in the city suddenly encountered a fire, and the fire soon spread in the city, showing a momentum of sparks.

For a moment, not only was there chaos everywhere in the city gate, but the city was also in a panic of putting out fires, and some people with ulterior motives took the opportunity to fan the flames.

The chaos in the city affected the city above the city. Some generals guarding the city even thought that the Mongolian cavalry had killed in the city, but it made things worse.

By dusk, the war was significantly weakened, and then the Mongolian cavalry withdrew from the battlefield.

"retreat!"

After walking around, Altan suddenly issued an order.

Although he really wanted to take down the state city in one fell swoop, he knew that this was impossible. The siege itself had a considerable problem. Once the power to defend the city was not consumed to a certain extent, as long as the morale of the Ming army was as long as the morale of the Ming army was

It's hard to easily get it even though it's still there.

Today's first wave of attacks actually consumes the materials and troops of the city, as well as finding the weak links of the city, and then making the most effective strategy, and then concentrating on winning the city.

As the war ended, the Ming army lifted many wounded and dead from the top of the city, but it added a bit of sadness to this ancient city rendered by the sunset.

War is already ruthless, not only are relatives killed or injured, but once the city is captured, they will not only lose their homes, but they may not survive.

The people in the city watched all this silently, and their hearts had fallen to the bottom of the valley. At this moment, there was a kind of lamb waiting to be slaughtered in a fence.

"Commander Han, is the magistrate okay?" When Han Xing walked out of the magistrate's ward, the guards of each city stepped forward and asked with concern.

Korean star had a solemn expression, but he simply talked about his illness, but there was a big worry hidden in his heart.

Although the people from the state yamen also dispatched the yamen runners to put out the fire, the effect was obviously not as good as before, and this matter was probably inseparable from the shadow of Bailian. Altan was already in a state of great anxiety when facing the outside, and he didn't want to be careful of lurking in the city.

White Lotus Traitor.

"Commander Han, what should we do now?" A general asked worriedly about the battle situation.

Han Xing frowned slightly, then swept over the generals present, and then said with a gloomy face: "Now we must guard it, so we will not give any opportunity to take advantage of the Tartars!"

Although he knew that the situation was not good, his dictionary did not give up. Even when he was exhausted from ammunition and food, he still lived and died with the city without any other thoughts.

What's more, the success or failure of this Shizhou City seems to be related to the success or failure of the entire strategy. Once the Shizhou City is lost, not to mention the fate of the soldiers and people of Shizhou City, the material here will definitely fall into Altan's hands.

These Mongolian cavalry who were trapped in food crisis will definitely resurrect them in place.

That's true, whether it is for the peace of himself, the soldiers and the people of Shizhou City, or the trend of the entire battle situation, they must firmly defend Shizhou City.

"Commander Han, where are the reinforcements?"

"Commander Han, will reinforcements arrive?"

"Commander South Korea, the Tartars have too obvious advantages, we need to ask for help from all parties!"

...

Although the generals nodded silently and agreed to continue to hold on, they were only inquiring with desire when facing the tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry outside the city.

Faced with this question, Han Xing could not give an accurate answer because he was not responsible for contacting the outside world, and he was even afraid that reinforcements would never arrive.

But a light of inspiration flashed through his mind. Even though it seemed incredible, he still said firmly: "We do our part, reinforcements will come, and the Tartars will retreat! No, the Tartars will be for the evil deeds he committed.

Someone will not spare him if he pays the price of bleeding!”

When the generals heard these words, they couldn't help but look at each other, feeling that their commanders had gone crazy.

In fact, it is impossible for someone to truly control the war. Even Chu Ge Liang is planning and accomplishing things is in heaven. Many times, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty need to fight to fight.

At Huangluling Pass, the corpses here have piled up like mountains.

Although Chataiji retreated late at night, every time the sky opened, the war here started again, and the siege battle continued to take place.

The Mongolian army led by Chataiji suffered several failures, but the Ming army's defensive ability declined significantly, like a precarious tower.

War is cruel, and both sides have their own important generals to sacrifice, and thousands of lives have come to an end here.

"Chong, the Han people can no longer hold on!"

Chataiji was unwilling to fail, but ordered the horse to fill his stomach, and then drank the horse's blood again, and then launched a new attack on this precarious pass.

Bang! Bang!

Chataiji chose a new attack direction, using the cut logs as siege hammers, but hit the city gate frantically.

This city gate is not as strong as the surface, especially it has not been repaired properly for decades. Every time you hit, you can hear the abnormal noise of the gate, which makes the soldiers on the other end of the city gate tremble and tremble in their hearts.

.

"Damn it, I must kill that guy with my own hands!"

After Ma Gui and others built the city gates and gave the previous Qianhuo a greedy man, they immediately wrote down the man's name, but planned to settle the score with that man.

Of course, there is another major premise here. They can guard this pass and survive successfully, and perhaps they can persevere until the arrival of reinforcements from Fenzhou.

In Dawu Town, the flags flutter in the wind.

An army lined up in the open space outside the town, staring at the town in front of them with fierce eyes. The thousands of horses in the head seemed to be out of the cage at any time.

Faced with this situation, the town is also silly, and some people are even strengthening the neatness and are actively preventing the invasion of this army.

A quick horse came far away, but suddenly broke the tranquility here and went around to Shihua Mountain to report: "Report, my grandmaster is only two miles away, and it takes only one stick of incense to arrive!"

The number of border soldiers in each town of the Ming army was not small, and there were more passenger troops transferred from various places. However, because the defense line was very long and the city needed personnel to stay behind, there were not many stable and mobile soldiers.

Facing the 60,000 Mongolian cavalry led by Altan to attack Shanxi, Shihuashan went south after summoning the main force of Datong.

Although he was not afraid of Altan, he could not be blindly arrogant. He had to wait until Ma Fang's main force of Xuanfu had the power to fight head-on with the Mongolian cavalry.
