Chapter 923: Infighting

When the day dawned, the Tartars still failed to break through the inner city, but the fierce offensive continued, and I obviously wanted to complete the battle, occupy the entire capital in one fell swoop, capture the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, surpass the exploits of the master of the tile spurs, and achieve his own unparalleled prestige.

However, the more fierce the Tartars attacked, the more tenacious the soldiers and civilians in the inner city defended, after all, no one wanted their families to be slaughtered by the Tartars, not to mention that the emperor was standing behind them, which further stimulated the enthusiasm of the soldiers and civilians to serve the country loyally. Tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians united in their hatred of the enemy, and burst out with great power.

Arrows, bricks, stones, wood, stone mills, clay pots, pen inkstones, everything that can smash people has come in handy, like raindrops thrown down from the city, the Tartars who attacked the gate suffered heavy casualties, whether it was outside the Zhengyang Gate, or outside the Xuanwu Gate, or outside the Chongwen Gate, the corpses were all over the ground, and the blood flowed like a river.

I replied that this time I went south to unify the Communist Party of China and led 100,000 iron cavalry, and when attacking Bauhinia Pass, nearly 5,000 people were broken, and Xu Jin ate more than 10,000 people, and more than 10,000 were killed and wounded in the siege of the city for more than half a month, and now there are less than 70,000 people who can fight.

I thought that if he took the outer city, he would be able to capture the inner city and the palace like a bamboo, and capture the Ming Emperor alive, but who knew that a city wall between the inner and outer city had become an insurmountable moat for him, and he attacked for most of the day, not only failed to break the door, but also paid a heavy price of five or six thousand dead and wounded.

Seeing that the warriors under his command were constantly killed and injured by debris, I was so angry that I roared like thunder, but I was helpless. At this time, Zhao Quan's eyes rolled, and he came to me to offer advice: "Does Soduo Khan remember the city wall of Tongzhou City that was destroyed by fire?" ”

Hearing this, my eyes lit up and said, "Mr. Zhao means to attack with fire?" ”

Zhao Quan nodded and said: "There are many houses in the outer city, Soduo Khan can order people to demolish the houses to collect wood, and then send them all to the city gate to be poured with fire oil and burned, and they will receive miraculous results!" ”

I laughed and said, "It's still that you Han people have a lot of ghost ideas!" ”

Then I gave the order, and the Tartars ran to the house to collect the wood, and then braved the rain of bullets above their heads to bring the collected wood to the city gates.

"No, the Tartars are going to attack with fire." The generals of the defenders at the head of the city were in a hurry when they saw this.

Elder Yang Ge was calm, stroked his beard and said: "Don't panic, the soldiers are coming, the water is coming to cover the earth, the fire is poured with water, everyone hurry home to get the utensils for drawing water." ”

Those families and nurses have run back to the house to get buckets and basins, etc., as for the water, there is no shortage, because outside the noon gate is the Jinshui River, it is very convenient to get water.

Yang Yiqing was not in a hurry to order watering, but stood on the head of the city and carefully observed, waiting for the Tartars to pay a large number of casualties, and finally piled up a mountain of wood outside the city gate, Yang Ge gave an order, and the soldiers and civilians who had been waiting for a long time poured all the water they had contained, and soon poured all the wood completely soaked.

At this time, the Tartars were dumbfounded, stealing chickens and not making the rice a thunderstorm, glaring at Zhao Quan with an unkind expression, the latter said curtly: "Soduo Khan, don't worry, this plan can't be successful, there is another plan in the next place, there are a lot of Franco machine artillery on the head of the outer city, but you can order someone to carry it immediately to break through the city gate!" ”

I was about to order someone to bring the artillery from the outer city, but one of my own soldiers rode over and whispered a few words beside him.

I saw a horse team of about fifty men galloping from the long street, and the knights on the horses were all strong and strong, and their appearance was obviously Tatar, but their attire was markedly different from that of their subordinates, and the first one was holding a flaming red banner embroidered with a goshawk with sharp eyes.

The horse team galloped until I was in front of the answer before stopping, and the commander at the head had a scimitar hanging from his waist on his left side, a bow and arrow on his right side, and a pair of cowhide boots on his feet, very spirited!

The general turned over and dismounted, came to me and saluted: "Altay see Soduo Khan!" ”

Although the military general saluted me, his expression was arrogant and he did not have any respect. A touch of fierceness flashed in his eyes, and he said with a slight mockery: "Altay, you don't obey the orders of the Great Khan, and you came here, are you planning to wrestle with Ben Khan?" ”

It turned out that this Altainai Bodi Khan's fierce general, who was the same age as Alta, had fought with Alta a few times, but he lost more and won less.

Altay said angrily: "If Soduo Khan wants to wrestle, Altay is naturally happy to accompany him, but the Great Khan is now only fifty miles away from the capital of Daming, so Soduo Khan should hurry up to meet the guilt!" ”

I replied with a frown and said, "What is Ben Khan's crime?" ”

Altay sneered: "When the Great Khan led his troops to attack Gubeikou, he ordered Soduo Khan to respond, but Soduo Khan was indifferent and openly disobeyed the orders of the Great Khan, isn't it a crime?" ”

I replied a little speechless, and Zhao Quan next to him hurriedly said: "General Altay, the Han people have a saying: the general is outside, and the king's order is not affected." Sodo Khan was at war with the Ming, and he couldn't pull away for a while, not to disobey the orders of the Great Khan. ”

Ah Le stared at Zhao Quan disdainfully, and said, "Zhao Quan, I will talk to Soduo Khan, when will it be your turn to interject!" ”

Zhao Quanjian raised his eyebrows, and the murderous intent flashed in his eyes, but in the end he chose to forbear.

I replied angrily: "Altay, Mr. Zhao is Ben Khan's military advisor, and it is not your turn to reprimand." When he went back and told the Great Khan, he said that Ben Khan was about to take the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and after capturing the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the Ben Khan offered him to the Great Khan as a meeting gift. ”

Altay's eyes narrowed dangerously, and he said coldly: "So, Sodo Khan has to disobey the order of the Great Khan?" ”

I was not afraid, and said contemptuously: "Altay, just because you also want to threaten Ben Khan, you are not qualified enough, get out of the way immediately, Ben Khan will naturally explain to the Great Khan in person in the future." ”

Altay sneered: "The Great Khan personally led an army of 80,000 to the south this time, plus the Khalkha Department and the Wulianghai Department, a total of 120,000, Soduo Khan really wants to make the Great Khan's face unbearable?" ”

I couldn't help but sink in my heart, threatened, this is the threat of Chiguoguo!

Altay looked at me with a proud expression, obviously convinced of the latter.

I replied with a secret anger in his heart, he naturally understood that Bodi Khan summoned himself to meet him at this juncture, which was nothing more than seeing that the capital of the Ming Dynasty was about to be broken, and specially sent someone to make trouble and delay time, so that he could rush to enjoy the success.

However, although I understood the intentions of Bodi Khan, he was a bit of a mouse-thrower, first, Bodi Khan was the nominal supreme ruler of Tatar and occupied the commanding heights of his position, and second, Bodi Khan had 120,000 soldiers under his command, which was twice as much as he said, and if I dared to disobey the order, maybe Bodi Khan would use this as an excuse to turn his face.

So I replied again and again, and finally chose to bow my head, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, Ben Khan will go with you to meet the Great Khan!" ”

Altay said with a little mockery: "That's right, that Zhao Quan, what is the name of your Han people...... Those who know the times are Junjie, hehe, Soduo Khan, please! ”

A fierce cold light flashed in my eyes!
