Chapter 2089 Difficulties
The sunset, the clouds in the west are dyed with bloody red, and the narrow path in front of Dawu Town is like a sea of soldiers.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
A team of flintstorms immediately fired guns at the Mongolian cavalry team that appeared, and the lead bullets shot at the Mongolians with the squirting flames. The Mongolians wearing animal skins or cotton leathers immediately made a blood hole.
The war was not as fatal as one blow, but more so it was injured.
It is often difficult to escape the fate of death if you are injured. Not to mention the medical problems of this era, these thousands of pairs of eyes will not allow the injured prey to escape easily.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
The Shi Family Army's long sword team had already become famous on the Nine sides, following the footsteps of the flintlock rifle. Faced with the already broken battle formation, they waved the sickle of death to harvest these sinful lives, and rushed towards Dawu Town with high fighting spirit.
this……
The Mongolian cavalry has always been known for their bravery, but facing the soldiers of the Shi family army who were like gods, this cavalry regiment with only a few hundred people soon showed signs of defeat.
"kill!"
Shi Huashan rode a white Dayuan horse, and his eyes looked like a torch, personally led the Shi family army to kill him all the way, but it showed his determination to sweep the place.
Although the Mongolian cavalry resisted tenaciously, they could not effectively stop the Shi family army from advancing. A large amount of blood was constantly poured on the road.
If faced with other corpses, Mongolian cavalry often have the advantage of this kind of melee battle, but the Shijia Army is the best at the rough style of fighting here.
Huang Taiji observed the battle situation at a high place in the town, watching his vanguard retreating step by step, and even realized that this was not beneficial to him.
Faced with this Shijia army that was not playing ordinary cards, he now either uses the stone walls of Dawu Town to fight against the Shijia army, or chooses to retreat again.
"Huang Taiji, what should we do now?" A tribal leader asked nervously when he saw the terribleness of the Shi family army.
"Leave people behind and we will immediately withdraw from Dawu Town!" Huang Taiji was not a reckless general, and immediately chose to give up this strategy.
With the transmission of the order, the large Mongolian cavalry evacuated here as soon as possible, but the houses in Dawu Town were quickly lit, leaving a sea of fire for this once prosperous town.
The evening breeze in July, with a hint of roar, quickly added a bit of glory to the town. The fire quickly spread throughout the town, accompanied by the strange noises of various burning objects.
Shi Huashan led his subordinates to Dawu Town smoothly, but when faced with the raging fire in front of him, he felt a little uneasy. He just looked at the town where there was only a fire corridor in front of him, and seemed to wave without hesitation: "Let's keep moving forward!"
Recapturing the town was not the purpose. What he wanted to do this time was to rush to help Shizhou City, and then to make Altan and the White Lotus Sect's plan to seize Shizhou City bankrupt.
The team continued to move forward, and the firelights on both sides were reflected on the faces of the Shi family soldiers, but there was no trace of worry on their faces, showing the momentum of moving forward.
Perhaps the Ming court now has various problems, but they found like-minded brothers in Shi Jun's home and are recreating the glory of the Han army that once sealed the wolf's servant.
It’s just that there are countless wars and life seems impermanent.
Puff! Puff!
Several sharp arrows flew from the front and pierced the two Shi family soldiers in front of them. They fell down without waiting for them to raise the long sword in their hands.
A man fell on the sea of fire. Because he was wearing cotton clothes inside, he was quickly swallowed by the sea and died silently in a torment of pain.
Cough! Cough! Cough!
Huang Taiji did not leave easily, but instead competed with the Shi family army in another way. He set up a large number of archers to snipe the Shi family army at the other end of the sea of fire.
Since the houses on both sides have become seas of fire, there is no room for the Flintlock Team to play, the Shi Family Army immediately fell into an unfavorable situation.
"kill!"
The leader of this time was Shi Huashan's nephew Shi Gandang. After realizing that there was an ambush in front of him, he immediately led his subordinates to charge forward.
The streets of Dawu Town are irregular orphans. Huang Taiji cleverly placed a large amount of combustible materials here. The ox carts carrying straw were burning, which could achieve a certain confusing effect.
What's even more clever is that the towers on the town in the south were also used by the Mongols, and some archers were arranged to shoot and kill the Shijiajun who appeared easily.
Although the Shi family army was ambushed, it did not scare away the Shi family army, which demonstrated the spirit of the Han army.
Two leaps into anger and passes by the burning ox cart. Facing the archer ambushed at the entrance of the street, although one of them was shot, he rushed up and killed frantically.
Shi Gandang was shot in an arrow in his right arm. Because he was left-handed, it did not affect his combat power, but instead stimulated his stronger fighting spirit. He carried the long sword and launched a crazy massacre.
The terrible archer's archer was the long range, but faced with a crazy long sword, like a cabbage waiting to be cut, and his heads rolled to the ground one after another.
"kill!"
Following the steps of the two leaders in front, more and more Shi family troops jumped past, waved their ruthless long swords at the archers here, and reaped these sinful lives.
this……
The Mongolian archers on the arrow tower were also startled when facing the Shi family army who suddenly came out, but without waiting for them to continue to show off their power, the flintlock team that followed him pointed the gun at them.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
In front of the hot weapons, the cold weapons exposed their shortcomings. As lead ejections shot towards the arrow tower, the archers on them fell from above.
Shi Huashan, who was ambushed, also noticed Huang Taiji's extraordinaryness. Facing Huang Taiji who was lined up outside the town, his brows furrowed.
Shihuashan knows that it is not easy to waste too much time now. Once Shizhou City falls, not to mention that the 20,000 people in the city are likely to be slaughtered, the political consequences caused by this incident will be quite serious.
This Ming Dynasty court has been judging heroes by success or failure for a lot of time. Many governors and generals often become scapegoats, which is also the fundamental reason why many governors and generals choose to fight conservatively.
However, Huang Taiji is now in battle outside the town, but there is a slope terrain outside where the Mongolian cavalry attacks. Once he goes out, it will be a fierce battle.
Although he was not afraid of the Mongolian cavalry, he was not in the number of people now, but he was facing a terrain that was extremely beneficial to the Mongolian cavalry, which made him have to make a careful choice.
As night falls, the whole world has fallen into darkness. Fortunately, it is at the turn of summer and autumn, and it is in the middle of the moon, which makes the visibility here very high.
"I heard that the Shi family army is the best at nine sides for a long time. Do you dare to come out to fight?" When the Mongolian cavalry saw the Shi family army breaking through the fire, they also called out the slopes outside the town.
"Uncle, let's kill him!" Shi Ganshan's right arm was briefly bandaged and suggested with gritted teeth.
Shihua Mountain was as deep as water. When did he be afraid of war? But he gently slapped the general next to him and said, "Is General Ma coming soon?"
"If the estimation is not bad, it will take about half an incense stick!" The general took out a Pearl River pocket watch and responded seriously.
When Shi Gandang heard that the Ma family army was about to arrive, he couldn't help but look at his uncle with hope, and at the same time he seemed anxious: "Uncle, you can't delay any longer now. Shizhou City is waiting for us to rescue!"
Dawu Town is not far from Ningzhou City. It takes only one or two hours to arrive. The dawn of victory is already in front of you. Now with Ma Fang's support, they can continue to fight towards Shizhou City.
Shi Huashan looked up at the hillside outside the town, but shook his head gently and said, "They should have discovered that Ma Fang will not come to Dawu Town!"
ah?
When he heard this answer, the generals around him couldn't help but look surprised on their faces, but they quickly realized.
The fastest route to help Ningzhou from Lin County is to go south along the banks of the Beichuan River. However, Dawu Town is on the west bank, but Ma Fang may have crossed the river upstream, and he was already surprisingly rushing to Ningzhou City from the east bank.
Shi Huashan turned his head and looked towards the direction of Beichuan River, with a hint of hope in his eyes, hoping that Ma Fang could move south smoothly.
The full moon hangs high, and the whole world is like daylight.
The Ma family led by Ma Fang went south along the Beichuan River and secretly communicated with Shihua Mountain, but chose to go south from the west to help Ningzhou City.
Although they would be stronger in joining forces, they were facing the Mongolian army, so they did not intend to fight on a large scale with the Mongolian army, but chose this more flexible way of aid.
After all, their goal is to save the soldiers and people of Ningzhou City, rather than follow the Mongolian army to a battlefield that is likely to be invincible.
After crossing the river, Ma Fang went south smoothly and arrived at the Dongchuan River Bridge in the middle of the night. By then, crossing the river, you may directly support Ningzhou City.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
Several sharp arrows cut through the air and stabbed the cavalry in the lead, causing the team in front to be on alert immediately.
"We Khan has been waiting for you in front of you for a long time. If you want to fight, come over!" After a Mongolian leader fired an arrow, he left a message and left.
Seeing this, Ma Fang immediately ordered to stop moving forward.
A spy came back soon and reported that there was indeed a Mongolian camp ahead, with a population of tens of thousands, which undoubtedly confirmed that Altan was likely to have seen through their plan.
A hero who can unify most of Mongolia is no longer an ordinary person.
No matter how arrogant Ma Fang is, he will not be able to fight an unprepared field battle with the cavalry led by Altan without any advantage in numbers. Now, now he can only stop and watch the development of the battle situation.
At night, Dawu Town has become a ruin, and it has become a temporary camp for the Shijia Army.
Ma Fang knew that she could not rush to Shizhou City from the east, so she immediately led the Ma family army to Dawu Town. Just looking at the tragic situation here, her brows couldn't help but frown slightly.
Although he had been fighting with Mongolia for decades, there were very few Mongolian cavalry that could enter Shanxi, and soon the prosperous towns in Shanxi would become like this.
"This matter has become tricky!" Shi Huashan knew that Altan had seen through their plan and even led his personal army to stop them, and he felt bad in his heart.
"Now we have transferred the infantry from Lin County to support us. What's this move?" Ma Fang looked up at the south direction, but suggested seriously.
Huangluling Pass in the south was in danger, and the rescue army heading north was stopped outside Dawu Town by the hero Altan. However, Shizhou City was suffering such a dangerous situation and seemed helpless for a moment.
If it were just Huang Taiji, he would be confident that he would rush to help Shizhou City.
It was just that Altan personally guarded the only passage, either taking a detour or confronting him head-on, but neither method was ideal.
The best way now is to get the infantry behind to keep up, and then have a large advantage in the number of people, and then force Altan to give in through the number of people.
However, Shi Huashan knew that the infantry there could not have much effect, but shook his head gently and said, "Let's take a look, maybe there may be other turning points!"
"Did Master Lin really have no good plans?" Ma Fang knew that he was in a dilemma now, but asked seriously.
"Maybe the news was not delivered in time, so I still have to wait!" Shi Huashan wanted to shake his head, but decided to cover up Lin Qingran's authenticity.
This is the case on the battlefield. No matter how you plan, it is difficult for people to have everything, and they may even be unable to deliver commands as soon as possible due to communication.
Ma Fang sighed sadly, but she felt a little powerless when facing Altan's obstacles. Although he dared to confront Altan head-on, his chances of winning were still too small.
The night was very long, but the reinforcements were blocked by Altan, and Shizhou City was already in a dilemma of isolation and helplessness, which greatly detrimented to the Ming army.
It was tonight, and it seemed like a restless night.
In Shizhou City, a ghost, rat and rat sneaked into the Shizhou Guards. The target of this time was the commander Han Xing. Facing Han Xing who was lying peacefully on the bed, he inserted it without any mercy, and blood immediately splattered.
Assassination has not been new since ancient times.
For example, Chen Sheng, who was rebelling, was killed by Zhuang Jia, the coachman who followed him for several months. Zhang Fei, a famous general of the Three Kingdoms, was murdered by his generals Zhang Da and Fan Qiang before sending troops, and he also sent Zhang Fei's head to Sun Quan and others.
After the assassin succeeded, the screams of the people on the bed immediately aroused the alert of the guards outside the door. However, the assassin was very powerful and immediately grabbed the window, but was soon surrounded by soldiers on duty.
"Leave a living!"
When Han Xing rushed from another room, Shizhou Wei Qianhu Fan Kang slaughtered the assassin directly, but he didn't have time to learn more information from the assassin.
