After the Mongol army formed out, 10,000 men rushed in like a tidal wave, and the soldiers in the front row, holding shields and scimitars, charged forward with ladders, and the archers in the back row, holding battering rams and stone throwers, followed closely behind.

The Mongol soldiers, holding their shields high and brandishing their scimitars, ran forward with high morale, and the mournful sound of trumpets stirred and urged them forward, and the army spread out on the ground like a white earth, crawling with ants.

On the city wall, on the enemy platforms and horses, the soldiers of the Ming army were nervously on guard, the musketeers were loading ammunition and were capturing the target, and the gunners next to the guns were observing the enemy's large equipment.

Xie Qian and the others walked all the way to the north of the urn city, where the Mongol soldiers had already rushed over and the artillery group was also being erected.

He looked at it for a moment and already understood the tactics of the Mongols, that is, the sword and shield men in front were responsible for climbing the city and fighting, the archers suppressed the city head and covered the sword and shield to go up the city, and the artillery carts bombarded the city wall, destroying the enemy platform and horse face, and destroying the fortifications on the city wall.

The ancient city wall was not a straight line, and there was also a protruding part from the city wall on it, which was convenient for shooting the enemy troops at the foot of the city wall and climbing up the city, and these fortifications were horse faces and enemy platforms.

"Dashuai, hit the city hammer!" The general of the Ming army pointed to a giant tree pushed by nearly 100 people and exclaimed.

Liaoning is surrounded by forests, which provides convenience for the Mongols to make equipment, but after all, the Mongols are not good at attacking cities, and the equipment they manufacture is still somewhat insufficient, and they will only make a few things that their ancestors learned, and there is no innovation.

If the Ming army attacked the city, not to mention anything else, at least a row of shield carts came out and pushed to the bottom of the city to form a wall to protect the archers.

At present, the equipment of the Mongols can be regarded as luxurious for the Mongols, but in the eyes of the Ming army, which is good at attacking cities, it is much simpler, with only hundreds of climbing ladders, a battering ram, and more than a dozen stone throwers.

In fact, it's not that Wu Keshan doesn't want to make more equipment, first, he feels that this is already a lot, and second, time does not allow, he is afraid that the Ming army will come to support, and he is afraid that the grain and grass will be consumed too quickly, so he will start to attack after preparing so much.

These equipment, the others were not put in Xie Qian's eyes, the only threat was the more than ten artillery carts, he looked at it, and immediately raised his finger and said, "First use solid bullets to bombard the artillery group, and then change the scattered bullets to bombard the archers!" ”

When the Franc machine in the city was replaced with a gun loaded with solid bullets, the Mongol soldiers under the city wielded scimitars and had already killed within 150 paces.

At this time, the Ming army gunners on the city wall took the lead in firing, and a row of guns on the city head fired at the same time, shooting a row of bullets.

The Mongols who rushed in front only heard the sound of "bang bang bang" in a row, and white smoke rose from the city, and their companions were beaten upside down one after another and flew out.

For a time, the dense formation of the Mongols was as if they had been combed by a comb, and the Mongol soldiers fell to the ground one after another, and when they entered a hundred paces, they were even more knocked down like mowing grass.

However, the huge casualties did not stop them, and the Mongols soon rushed to the city.

Because the weather was too cold, the moat had long been frozen, so the Mongol soldiers could rush directly to the city, which greatly increased the convenience of the siege.

This was also the ill-preparation of the Ming army, which, if they had enough time, dug a few trenches outside the city, and covered them with antlers and horse-repellent stakes within the range of the firearms, to ensure that the Mongols could not approach the city walls at all.

The Mongols began to erect ladders and climb along the city wall, while the archers stood under the city wall, and pulled their bows and arrows together, shooting a rain of arrows, and the Ming army and young men on the city suddenly suffered casualties.

At this time, the young man at the head of the city began to use rolling stones and sassholes to smash the climbing Mongols, and the halfway Mongols screamed and were smashed to the head and bled out, and fell to the ground together with the wood, and the sassalwood pressed on their bodies, and the soldiers kept spitting out blood.

There was also a young man holding a piece of wood, hitting the ladder that had been put up on the city wall, and after a few hits, he knocked off the iron hook at the top of the ladder, and then pushed the ladder together, and saw a string of Mongols on the ladder and the ladder fell heavily in the snow together.

The Ming army on the city firecrackers, then and the archers under the city to shoot, the Mongols were shot down again and again, a large area of snow has been dyed red, but the Mongols after all there are many people, they shot up the rain of arrows, soared into the air, like locusts fell on the city, the Ming army also hit the arrows again and again, so that the Mongolian sword and shield hands were covered, can keep climbing.

At this time, a Mongolian centurion, along the ladder, rushed to the head of the city, he was just about to jump on the head of the city, suddenly a bang behind him, he was shot, and the whole person was planted directly at the head of the city.

The Ming gunners, hiding in front of the horses and on the enemy platform, were constantly shooting the Mongol soldiers under the corners of the city wall and climbing from the side from the protruding part of the city wall.

From the point of view, the Ming army in the city could not attack the enemy troops under the corners of the city wall and climbing along the wall, but the Ming army on the horse face could do this.

At this time, the two soldiers on the horse's face, constantly loading and shooting, had shot four or five people in a row, one of them was raising his gun to aim, about to shoot the sixth person, but the air suddenly darkened, a cannon stone hit the horse's face, immediately smashed the masonry, and the protruding part of the front was smashed down.

At this time, the artillery of the Ming army had already bombarded, and countless shells hit the Mongol artillery group.

Xie Qianbu is the level of the local town army, and it has only recently begun to be reequipped, equipped with self-generated firearms, but the artillery is still only a Franc machine gun.

Two hundred paces from the city, nearly twenty stone throwers were creaking and rattling, throwing up the stones in their leather pockets and smashing them into the city.

At this time, dozens of iron bullets were also fired from the Franco's cannon in the city, although the cannonball was only the size of a fist, no match for the boulder thrown out, but once it hit the cannon cart, the wooden cannon was immediately splashed with wood chips.

No matter how the Franc machine is a cannon, an iron bullet hit the throwing rod, and the throwing rod was smashed immediately, and the counterweight in front of it fell immediately, and the entire stone throwing machine was paralyzed instantly.

The siege battle did not last long, and the Mongol stone throwers were destroyed by artillery with higher accuracy, and after the destruction, the Ming gunners immediately replaced the solid bullets with scattered bullets.

The Mongolian archers under the city were standing together, bending their bows and arrows in unison, shooting at the city, and suddenly the four gunners lifted the Franc cannon that lit the fuse, and then lowered the muzzle, and with a "boom" sound, the archers below the city immediately fell into a piece.

More than a dozen Mongol archers fell to the ground at the same time and wailed, they were hit by scattered bullets, and although they may not die, they were also wounded and could not fight again.

The scattered bullets are mainly iron sand, which is not very powerful and not deadly, but he can make a large number of enemies injured and unable to fight again.

With the suppression of artillery, the Mongolian archers, who originally relied on their numerical advantage to fight a draw with the Ming army in the city, were suddenly in chaos, and they were in chaos, and the Ming army in the city was less suppressed, and the Mongolian sword and shield men who landed in the city were driven down by the Ming army after a while.

Wu Keshan, who was observing the siege outside the city, saw that at least more than 2,000 people had died in Mongolia, the artillery carts had been destroyed, and the swords and shields on the city had fallen back, and he couldn't help but shout in great pain, "Withdraw!" ”

The Mongol army in the northern city retreated like a tide, and the Mongols who feinted on the east and west walls also retreated, and the Ming army in the city cheered······
