Chapter 912: Bodi Khan
The moat outside the Xizhi Gate had been basically filled in, and thousands of Tartars were attacking the gate one after another, using hooks, ladders, long logs, and bamboo poles to climb the city walls, but most of them did not climb halfway before they were brought down by rolling stones, hot oil, sharp arrows, etc., and turned into bloody corpses under the city walls.
More than a dozen newly built arrow towers were pushed to the front of the battle by the Tartars, and before the Tartar archers on the arrow towers released their arrows, the Ming army at the head of the city took the lead, and a wave of arrow rain and bullet rain overwhelmingly shot down......
Whoosh, the archers on both sides shot at each other in the air, but seeing the arrows in the sky like flying locusts, the buzzing strings made people feel cold.
A boulder of hundreds of pounds roared and smashed into the city, with a loud bang, and smashed a section of the female wall to pieces on the spot, and the two people who were hiding behind the wall flew flesh and blood on the spot, and a bloody broken leg flew high, and then fell under the city.
Boom, boom, several Franc machine guns on the head of the city immediately returned fire, and the shells bloomed in the crowd of Tartars, killing and wounding countless people in an instant, and a stone-throwing machine that was shot was blown to pieces......
Doodoo ......
In the desolate sound of the trumpet, the Tartars receded like a tide, leaving corpses at the foot of the city wall, and the blood-red sunset shone on the Xizhi Gate, and the blood stains on it were even more shocking.
In the big tent of the Chinese army of the Tartars, I answered like a wild wolf with red eyes, walking back and forth irritably, today is the third day of the siege, not only failed to break the city, but also paid the price of tens of thousands of dead and wounded, the loss is not heavy, you must know that I only led 100,000 troops to the south this time, and the most annoying thing is that Tongzhou City has not been taken.
However, there are many rich prefectures, counties, villages and towns near the capital, and I can get a lot of grain as long as the troops plunder, but I don't have to worry about food for the time being. In addition, the 30,000 cavalry of the Yongxieb Department entangled the Ming army in Xuanfu, and Li Fuda also entangled the Ming army in Shanxi, so in a short time, I was not worried about being cut off.
"Mr. Zhao, you Han people are all cunning turtles with shrunken heads, so you will only hide behind high walls and play yin, and the siege of the city is too bad for us Tatars, and it is not cost-effective!" I replied stupidly.
Zhao Quan's sharp knife eyebrows wrinkled imperceptibly, and he heard the hesitation from my answer's tone, it was obvious that the siege of the city had been frustrated for several days, and the losses were huge, and I had already had the intention of retreating.
Zhao Quan finally used the power of my answer to hit the capital of the Ming Dynasty, seeing that success was in sight, he was naturally unwilling to give up his efforts, and hurriedly persuaded: "Soduo Khan is a little restless, we have been attacking the city for several days, and our casualties are indeed very large, but the Ming army must not be happy, I don't know if Suo Duo Khan has noticed that there are more ordinary people in the city today?" ”
I replied with a stir in my heart: "Mr. Zhao means that the troops in the city are empty?" ”
Zhao Quan nodded and said: "That's right, the troops in the city must be insufficient, otherwise with the temperament of Emperor Jiajing, he would have sent troops out of the city to meet the battle, tomorrow we will divide our troops to attack other city gates, so that the defenders in the city are quite desperate, and we will definitely receive miraculous results!" ”
Hearing this, I nodded and said, "That makes sense, Mr. thinks it's better to divide troops to attack which city gate." ”
"Deshengmen!" Zhao Quan said decisively: "Desheng Gate is located in the north, as long as you break through Desheng Gate, you can go straight to the inner city, and the soldiers will force the palace to be inside, and then the Ming army will definitely divide most of the troops to guard Desheng Gate, and the pressure on Xizhimen here will inevitably be greatly reduced." ”
My answer brightened up and said, "Okay, tomorrow divide the troops to attack Deshengmen." ”
Zhao Quan smiled and said: "As long as the city is broken and Emperor Jiajing is captured, Soduo Khan will be the first descendant of the Golden Family to capture the capital and capture the Ming Emperor alive. ”
I couldn't help but feel hot when I heard this, although the Taishi of the Tile Spur also captured the emperor of the Ming Dynasty alive, but he did not break through the capital of the Ming Dynasty, if he did it, wouldn't it be even more powerful than the first? My name will be Megatron!
"Hahaha, Mr. Zhao's auspicious words, as long as the city is broken, Ben Khan guarantees that it will be Mr. Zhao who will sit on the dragon chair." I laughed.
Zhao Quan was also enthusiastic when he heard this, he was not afraid that I would break my promise, after all, I was a Yi people, not to mention a mere 100,000 army, even if it was several times more, it would not be able to rule the Han people, and only by supporting myself could we maximize our interests. Of course, if necessary, Zhao Quan doesn't mind cultivating a descendant of the old Zhu family as a puppet, after all, there will be a lot less resistance, at least it can win over some spineless officials and scholars to take refuge.
At this time, a messenger walked in with a tent and said loudly: "Report to Soduo Khan, I just received the news that the Great Khan has sent 100,000 troops to attack Gubeikou, and ordered Suoduo Khan to send troops to meet it quickly." ”
I couldn't help but turn pale when I heard this, and said coldly: "Ben Khan knows, retreat!" ”
The messenger respectfully withdrew.
Zhao Quan's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "It's time for the Great Khan to come, how many soldiers and horses does Soduo Khan plan to send to pick up Gubeikou to meet the Great Khan?" ”
I replied with a sneer: "Bodi Arak is obviously here to grab food, Ben Khan will answer his fart, don't worry about him, and step up the siege of the city with all his strength tomorrow." ”
The so-called Great Khan, that is, the nominal supreme ruler of the Tatars, the current Great Khan of the Tatars is called Bodi, whose full name is Bodi Arak, and is a cousin of Alta.
It is worth mentioning here that during the Hongzhi Dynasty, Dayan Khan unified Dongmeng (that is, Tatar), and redivided Dongmeng into 60,000 households, and then named the third son (Alta's father) as the head of 30,000 households on the right wing, and he himself served as the head of 30,000 households on the left wing, and directly commanded the Chahar department, called the Great Khan.
When Dayan Khan died, his eldest son, Bodi Arak, succeeded him as the nominal supreme ruler of Tatar, but the chiefs of the various households, including Altan and Melgen, did not take Bodi Khan very seriously.
Now that Melgen is dead, I have taken over the Ordos Department of the eldest brother Melgen, and his strength has increased greatly, and he has become the nominal leader of 30,000 households on the right wing, so naturally he doesn't take the Great Khan seriously, and he has not greeted Bodi Khan when he sent troops south to attack Ming this time.
However, at this time, Bodi Khan came uninvited, and took the initiative to send 100,000 troops to attack Gubeikou, I didn't think that the other party was here to help him, but he was angry that he hit the capital of the Ming Dynasty, so he hurriedly ran to get a piece of the pie, and at the same time show his status as the Great Khan.
Therefore, I will not be stupid enough to divide the troops to meet the Bodi Khan, on the contrary, he will also take the capital of the Ming Dynasty as quickly as possible, so as not to make a wedding dress for the Bodi Khan, after all, the other party is the Great Khan, the nominal supreme ruler of Tatar, if everyone is face-to-face, he still has to keep the courtier's courtesy.
