In the face of internal panic, Xiao Ruxun stepped forward and subdued the soldiers of the whole army with his prestige of winning every battle, and replaced the two of them to command the army when Ye Mengxiong was busy taking over Wei Xuezeng to handle logistics, and Mei Guozhen was busy writing to impeach Wei Xuezeng and recommend the latest candidates, becoming the actual commander of the Ming army, which was constantly increasing to 50,000 troops.

During the siege of the city for several days in a row, Xiao Ruxun was on the spot, personally commanded, and constantly honed his level of command in the immediate battle and the level of commanding the combined forces of the large corps, and combined with his past experience, his level was improved by leaps and bounds.

In the past few days, Xiao Ruxun has made people specialize in attacking the southern city, and the other three cities are surrounded and feints, but once the thief army tries to attack, the whole army will be pressed, no matter what, the thief army will not succeed in attacking, and has won several big victories in succession, beheading nearly a thousand, gradually stabilizing the morale of the army and recovering the will to fight of the Ming army.

And the thief army in the city of horses less and less, the first time the most, sent a thousand cavalry to storm the Ming army camp besieging the west city, the guard general Zhao Wu was caught off guard, unable to resist for a while, Xiao Ruxun immediately ordered Xiao Ruhui to lead the army to support, the two armies combined into one, the thousand cavalry killed seven seven eighty-eight retreat into the city.

The rebels suffered heavy losses, and could not replenish the cavalry, this time they went back, and did not attack again until the third day, this time only 500 people came out, and they were trapped by Zhao Wu, who was holding his breath, with a trap array, and a cannon went down, only 137 horsemen fled back in embarrassment, and the rest were all killed.

The third time the thief army attacked at night, only three hundred horsemen took advantage of the night to attack, the direction of the attack was the north, this time they were unlucky, they were caught by Ma Gui who happened to lead the army to patrol the night, six hundred horse teams attacked all the way, and all the three hundred horse teams were eaten, one was not left, Ma Gui alone cut the eighteenth level of the head, unstoppable, and the Ming army won another victory.

The father and son of the Bi family in the city almost want to kill!

After the fire merged Liu Dongyang and Xu Chao, the original 1,800 cavalry was left about 1,600, the first sortie was lost 500, the second sortie was 300, and the third sortie was 300 annihilated.

Not only did the people die, but they also lost all the horses they carried, which became the food of the Ming army, so that the troops of the Ming army who had made great contributions ate horse meat and drank broth, and were full of spirit.

And Ningxia City can barely make up 800 cavalry, but Bibai does not dare to divide the troops to fight again no matter what, these 800 cavalry is kept in the end It is really desperate to lead the army to forcibly break through, after all, the breakthrough cannot bring infantry.

In the past few days, they finally knew who the Ming general who surrounded them and died.

Xiao Ruxun, born in the northwest general, first defeated Tuwenxiu's thousands of men and horses in the battle of Pingyu City, and then killed Biyun and Zhuli Rabbit, almost annihilating their 9,000 troops, and then led the army to take the initiative from Pingyu City, along the way to attack the city and pull out the village to beat them to the head and blood and mess up, and finally directly hit the periphery of Ningxia Town, and captured all the fortresses in the north, including the northwest and northeast, blockading the entire north, causing the culprit of their current predicament!

It's the Pingyu City guard they don't care about!

God knows why this guy is so good at fighting! So fierce!

Moreover, the intensity of the Ming army's attack on the city has increased unabated these days, except for the fact that the number of real assaults is less, and there are not a few hours during the day without bombarding the city with firearms.

It can be said that they are bombarded with firearms almost all the time, or beat drums and cheers and pretend to attack on the whole line, play with them, and use firearms to catch them off guard with a fierce bombardment of the army that hurriedly went to the city to garrison, and the soldiers and horses in the city have dropped to about 16,000 people, and the loss of the Ming army does not know if it has reached 4,000.

To be precise, it was three thousand one hundred and five, and three thousand one hundred and five were killed in the battle, and there were even more wounded, but the wounded basically survived, and they were urgently rescued by the ambulance battalion, and they could return to the camp in less than ten days, and their combat effectiveness was even better.

The admiration of these tens of thousands of Ming troops for Xiao Ruxun is increasing day by day - the idea of the soldiers is also very simple, they are all willing to fight with the powerful general, because the casualties of the powerful generals fighting are small, the more you can save everyone's lives, the more willing everyone will be to give you their lives, and the morale will be strong.

The ambulance camp arranged by Xiao Ruxun was considered by Mei Guozhen to be the place with the largest number of doctors and the most professional division of labor in addition to the emperor's personal expedition, and could even become a model for the whole army to promote.

Basically, the doctors who are good at treating knife and gun wounds in the entire Ningxia town have been taken to the army to set up a special ambulance battalion by Xiao Ruxun or kidnapped, using liquor as a disinfectant, so that the wounds of the wounded soldiers have never become inflamed.

The mortality rate of the wounded soldiers in this army is the lowest point that Mei Guozhen has seen since he joined the army, therefore, the Ming army in such a fierce siege tug-of-war, the loss is only more than 3,000, most of them are still killed in battle and cannot be treated, after returning because the knife is too deep and the wounded are seriously injured, only a few hundred died, and there are more than 2,000 who have returned from the wounded, and it is not time to replenish the troops.

On the one hand, Xiao Ruxun's tactics are proper, on the other hand, the rescue measures are timely, and after more than ten days, all departments of the Ming army have a high evaluation of Xiao Ruxun, and some generals who were not satisfied with Xiao Ruxun at the beginning also began to admire this young general soldier.

The supervisor Mei Guozhen treated Xiao Ruxun with an attitude of picking bones in eggs, and he couldn't find anything to blame, so he was even more respectful, and in addition to impeaching Wei Xuezeng in the book, he also specially wrote a book to recommend Xiao Ruxun's tactics and tactics to Emperor Wanli, and recommended this "good general who is difficult to produce in fifty years on the nine sides" to Emperor Wanli.

Ye Mengxiong inspected the army and found that the army was neat, the soldiers were vigorous, and they acted in an orderly and meticulous manner, and the low morale ten days ago was completely pulled back, so Ye Mengxiong was extremely satisfied with Xiao Ruxun's ability to command the troops, and he was relieved to hand over the front-line command to Xiao Ruxun, and he was responsible for logistics, ensuring food supply, responsible for medicine and gunpowder, and caring about the army's ultimate killer tunnel blasting.

The reason why the tunnel blasting dragged on for more than ten days was because three tunnels were discovered and destroyed by the extremely sensitive rebels in the city, and Xiao Ruxun personally led the team to block it to stop the rebels' crazy counterattack, and the remaining two tunnels were carried out carefully.

Every day, I only dare to dig when the army is attacking the city, and the progress has slowed down, Rao is so, and the remaining two tunnels are almost finished, and one of them can be opened in about a day to start filling gunpowder.

A day later, on the evening of April 21, the twentieth year of Wanli, Ye Mengxiong, Mei Guozhen and Xiao Ruxun held torches, and carefully went to a tunnel that had been reported to be opened with excitement.

"Ji Xin, in such a large space, do you want to fill it all with gunpowder?"

Ye Mengxiong asked curiously.
