Here in Datong Mansion, the Mongolian first echelon of 3,000 people was already attacking the city wall against the artillery fire pouring down from the city wall.
Each cavalryman carried a piece of log and stayed under the city, then ran back.
They wanted to use this method to fill up the city wall of Datong Mansion, and then let the cavalry appear directly on the city wall.
This method is very clumsy, and it is completely useless when facing a high wall like Nanjing City.
However, the city wall of Datong Prefecture is only a dozen meters high, so even if the Mongols have to pay the price of thousands of cavalry, it is only a matter of time before they can attack the city wall.
However, in the rear camp at this time, Tian Khan and the leaders of other tribes had already quarreled.
"Mingren has made a sneak attack on the enemy. I request the troops to withdraw now."
Tian Khan roared angrily.
"Tian Khan, please calm down first. We still don't know the authenticity of this news. We need to investigate further. What if Mingren is just feinting?"
"That's right. We have spent such a long time and paid such a high price to get to this point. We are about to take over Datong Mansion. We can't fall short."
"Yes, I think we can capture Datong Mansion first, and then return to the financial aid account."
Tian Khan never thought that he was the one who organized this war, but now things were out of his control.
This is also to blame for him leaving all his elite troops in the golden tent, bringing only more than a thousand cavalry, but still holding the command.
If this war is overwhelming and takes over Datong Mansion, then naturally no one else will have anything to say.
But now that there is trouble, no one is willing to give up the benefits they are about to receive to pay back the aid account.
"Okay, if you don't listen to my orders, then I will have to withdraw the troops myself."
After saying that, Tian Khan walked out of the tent directly, leaving only a group of leaders of various Mongolian tribes standing there looking at each other.
The sound of war horses neighing came from outside the tent. Under the orders of Tian Khan, the Golden Horde cavalry who were originally the governors walked out of the battlefield one after another and ran away.
As a result, chaos suddenly appeared on the already tense battlefield.
Since there was no one to command and dispatch, the Mongolian cavalry, which had been on the battlefield with a string of tension, instantly became chaotic. Many cavalry had no impulse and started running back under the city wall.
Unfortunately, it turned into a rout.
In the Mongolian tent, everyone is still fighting for command.
As a result, this second attack ended in an anticlimactic manner.
On the city wall of Datong Prefecture.
Zhang Mao was looking out nervously at this time.
When he saw the Mongols fleeing without any plan, the whole man suddenly began to cheer.
"The Mongols were beaten away and we won."
"The Mongols were beaten away and we won."
For a moment, cheers erupted in Datong Mansion.
Only the three guards stationed on the city wall, Qianhu, could remain calm.
Zhang Mao stumbled to Sun Shangqing, who was in a daze under the city wall.
"Sun Yushi, we won."
The look on Sun Shangqing's face was very exciting at this time, and it took him a while to react.
"We won? Did we win?"
At this time, a Qianhu finally couldn't stand it any longer. He walked up to the two of them and said, "My lords, the Mongols have only temporarily retreated, but they have not withdrawn their troops yet. They will most likely continue to attack."
This Qianhu's words made Zhang Mao and Sun Shangqing look a little ugly.
Zhang Maodao: "Since we can defeat them once, there will be a second time. How is the situation of the young people in the city?"
It turned out that this time, there were only 3,000 guards stationed in Datong Mansion, and the remaining more than 10,000 people were civilians and craftsmen who had withdrawn to Datong Mansion.
And they all did it on their own initiative, not to mention the countless old, weak, women and children who also participated in the logistics work.
This is something unimaginable in other cities, but in Datong Mansion, even if the king is not in the city, these people still do it without hesitation.
The Qianhu said: "This round of Mongolian attacks has caused few casualties, and everyone's morale is very good. I believe that as long as the city wall is not broken, it will be more than enough to hold on for several months."
Sun Shangqing on the side softened slightly when he heard this.
"By the way, I heard that Prince Yan's Mansion has sent troops. When will they arrive?" Sun Shangqing asked.
It turned out that this was the real reason why he asked for the battle, because he knew that with the participation of King Yan, there was no way he could fail in this battle.
But he didn't expect that the Mongols had already attacked before King Yan's army arrived.
Moreover, that generation of kings did not defend the city well and were not in Datong Mansion. This made his original idea of showing off in front of King Yan in vain.
When he saw the tragic situation on the battlefield, he was so frightened that he hid under the city wall and shivered.
He imagined war too simply.
The Qianhu looked at Sun Shangqing with an unclear expression on their faces and said, "The Yan King's fiefdom is thousands of miles away from Datong Mansion. Even if we go all out, it will take at least three days."
"Three days?"
Sun Shangqing breathed a sigh of relief.
An ordinary army would not be able to march at such a fast speed.
But King Yan's army was different. He was the only vassal king among the nine great kings with a large cavalry force.
Without him, he had snatched these war horses from the Mongols, and he truly supported war through war.
Mongolian camp outside Datong Prefecture.
The power struggle in the big tent finally came to an end, and the three largest tribal chiefs jointly held command.
But then they realized that their first echelon had been defeated.
Chief Shui Tong Yao among them said: "I propose that the entire army press forward, without giving the enemy a chance to breathe, and capture Datong Mansion in one go. Even if the sacrifice is greater, it is still worth it."
Another middle-aged chief said: "The risk of the entire army being pressed is too great. Don't forget that Datong Mansion is not far from King Yan's fiefdom. If he takes advantage of the situation, our entire army will most likely be annihilated.
"
When King Yan Zhu Di was mentioned, the faces of the chiefs in the tent immediately became serious, which showed that they were still in awe of King Yan.
"It's better to divide the army into three groups and attack in turns. This can also prevent unexpected situations."
Finally the young chief's proposal was approved.
So at noon that day, the third battle of Datongfu began.
at the same time.
After running around all night, Tian Khan finally returned to his golden tent with his troops.
But before he could see the situation clearly, the first team of cavalry suddenly fell down.
"What's going on?"
Tian Khan was startled.
But what he responded to was countless gunshots.
Then his cavalry troops were turned upside down by the bombing.
Standing on a temporary watchtower, Zhu Gui couldn't help but feel a little strange when he saw this scene.
"Why do only so many Mongolians come back? It's really a waste to use cannons to fight mosquitoes. Tell the artillery battalion not to fight and save ammunition."
