As soon as the battle of the victorious mouth began, it immediately entered a white-hot state. Fastest updates

Guarded by the guards around them, Majan and Mandahai followed closely behind the Sunit and Abaga tribes, brandishing their sabers and shouting the names of the leaders of the two tribes, Susai Batu Ru Zinon, and Du Sigar Za Sak Tu Zinon.

And from time to time, they braved the rain of arrows to rush into the rear of the Mongols, cutting down the Mongols who were hesitant to carry the ladders to the ground.

And Susai Baturu and Dusgar Zasaktu, knowing that they had no choice, one by one, under the cover of their retinues, personally carried the ladder to the city of Fort Victory, and ran forward quickly, while shouting and scolding their men to follow.

If they had been able to have such a bloody nature under the command of Lin Dan Khan, then Lin Dan Khan would not have been defeated again and again, so that to this day, in the face of the Jurchen army, he fled without a fight.

Soon, there was another rumbling of cannons on the head of the fortress, and more than a dozen iron projectiles galloped down and fell into the dense siege army outside the city, breaking some unfortunate unlucky eggs into a pile of flesh and blood on the spot.

The strategic position of the victory is no less than that of killing Hukou, but there are only thirteen general cannons at the head of the victory fort.

The Hongyi cannon produced by the Jingshi Military Institute is the Shenwei Invincible General Cannon, although the output has been a lot, but the priority is to equip the Jingshi, Liaodong and Jizhen border passes, including Rehe Fort There are dozens of them.

Because in the strategic considerations of Emperor Chongzhen before, the border of Jizhen was the top priority.

Therefore, a large number of new equipment produced by the Armament Institute, such as the bronze or cast steel Shenwei Invincible General Cannon, the Chongzhen front-loading flintlock smoothbore gun, etc., most of them are given priority to equip Liaodong, Jizhen, as well as the three major battalions and guards of the Beijing Division.

There are also those that are distributed to Datong and Xuanfu, but they are relatively concentrated on the heads of Datong City and Xuanfu City.

The Victory Fort is still equipped with the general cannon that was placed here after the Rebuilding of the Victory Fort during the Wanli period.

Of course, when the victory fort was rebuilt in the Wanli period, there were only three general cannons in the victory fort, two on the head of the north gate city, and one on the south pass city.

However, with the replacement of Datong City with the imitation of the Hongyi cannon of the Armed Forces, most of the dozens of general cannons at the head of Datong City were dismantled, and ten of them were transported to the strategic place of Fort Victory.

Now, under the command of Li Quan, a staff general who was trained in the first phase of the martial arts hall, it can be regarded as coming in handy and playing their role.

Every time the cannon is fired, there are several or even a dozen dead and wounded.

However, although the general cannon has many advantages, it has a disadvantage, that is, after each round, it must be cooled down and the barrel of the cannon must be cleaned.

And after each few rounds, it is necessary to stop for a period of time to allow the gun body to cool down thoroughly before it can be put back into service.

And every time after a round of shelling, or when the cannon body cools down, it is the most dangerous time for the city.

Outside the city, who is over 50 years old, he is a veteran of the old slave Nuer Hachi era, and he has long been familiar with this characteristic of the Ming army's artillery.

Coupled with a ruthless and tenacious personality with a red flag lord Yue Tuo, the northern city of Fort Victory was crumbling several times under the attack of the Mongols in droves.

The high ladders overthrew one after another, and the Mongols who climbed to the top of the city were slashed and slaughtered in waves.

When the sun was setting in the west and it was almost dusk, the Mongols besieging the city finally retreated with a sound of horns, and the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty on the victory fort burst into cheers.

Although they were too tired to speak, the Victory Fort still stood stubbornly in the mouth of victory.

Of course, Yue Tuo did not want to withdraw his troops like this, and the Mongols were under the supervision of the Jurchens, and they had already taken advantage of the intervals of the artillery bombardment to attack the city twice.

However, Ye Chen sent people back twice in a row at dusk and suggested that Yue Tuo suspend the attack.

As for the reason, as the Mongols retreated on the battlefield, Yue Tuo quickly understood.

First, the Mongols suffered too many casualties, and no matter how much the overseers behind them lashed and slashed, they refused to rush any further, especially the Sunit and Abaga divisions attached to Kuku and Tun.

Second, the leader of the Sunit tribe, Susai Batu Lujinong, and the leader of the Abaga tribe, Dusgarza Saktu Jinong, were killed in battle one after another, and the men and horses of the army suffered heavy casualties and the group of dragons was leaderless.

Under such circumstances, the remaining Mongols and a large number of Jurchen horses who were overseeing the war, under the city of Victorious Fortress, had no other meaning than to increase the losses of their own side.

In the evening of the same day, Yue Tuo led his army to withdraw a few miles outside the victory mouth, camped along the Yuma River, and selected the fierce warriors from the remnants of the Sunit and Abaga tribes after the bloody battle, and then organized them into a Mongolian Jiala under the red flag, under the jurisdiction of five Mongolian cattle records.

If Susai Baturu and Dusgarza Saktu had known in advance that once they were killed in battle, these people from the Sunit and Abaga tribes would be incorporated under the red flag, and it is estimated that they would not have fought so hard to the death.

That night, Yue Tuo, who had led the army in a fierce battle for a day and had not taken the Victory Fort, was in an irritable mood, and Ye Chen, one of the Gushan Ezhen who was carrying a red flag, accompanied by his two younger brothers and a group of red flag guards, rode a horse around the mouth of the killing Hu to observe the terrain in the cold and bright moonlight.

In the early morning of the next day, Yue Tuo again sent people to cut down trees on the nearby mountains and make ladders, building carts and other things.

At noon, Yue Tuo ordered Gushan Yechen to lead the main army of the red flag, and led a new Jiala Mongolian tribe under his command, as well as the troops of Chu Huer, the leader of the Uzhumuqin tribe, to rush to the north gate of Deshengbao again.

All of a sudden, the battle of Fort Victory's attack and defense began again.

This time, the Jurchen pigtailed soldiers with red flags were no longer just following the Mongols to supervise the battle, but everyone wore armor, shields, and swords and followed the Mongols to attack the city wall.

Liu Yingxuan commanded the Ming army of Victory Fort to defend the city at Zhenshuo Tower, while Li Quan commanded the gunners, musketeers and archers at the city head, shooting vigorously at the city.

The Mongol soldiers and Jurchen soldiers who galloped towards the northern gate of the Victory Fort fell to the ground one after another, one by one.

However, the Jurchen and Mongol soldiers who followed behind still did not flinch, and followed one after another, getting closer and closer to the city wall.

As the enemy approached the city wall at the cost of casualties, Liu Yingxuan, Li Quan and others immediately let people throw down the rolling wood and stones that had been prepared overnight, and smashed the enemies who were climbing up one by one.

Along with the rolling wood and stones that poured down like rain, there were grenades and incendiary bombs that had been stored in Fort Victory for a long time, but were never willing to use.

The grenade ignited and threw the city head on fire, blowing up the enemy troops approaching the city walls.

The incendiary bombs fell to the ground, shattering and forming flames, which also burned one after another of the Mongol soldiers and Jurchen soldiers attacking under the city.

However, none of this was able to frighten off the main army of the Red Banner and the Mongol soldiers who were driven forward to attack.

In this way, the fierce battle up and down the north gate of the Victory Fort once again fell into a stalemate scene.

The red flag Gushan Yechen, Yue Tuo's younger brothers, Meler Ezhen Majan and Man Dahai, all went into battle in person, and under the escort of the pro-army around them, they followed closely behind the army and shouted to supervise the battle.

Liu Yingxuan was also wearing armor, holding a bow in his hand, and shot to death the enemies who entered his line of sight and were locked by him one by one.

It's just that at this time, none of the generals of the Victory Fort at the head of the city noticed that Yue Tuo, the lord of the red flag who was guarding with heavy troops yesterday and watching the battle behind the army, did not appear on the battlefield at this time.

Because at this time, Yue Tuo personally led ten Niu Lu, under the escort of the Bayala Men of the guard camp under his command, to attack a water gate in the fortress.

It is said to be the Water Gate, but it is not actually a gate, or it is not a gate of Fort Victory at all.

Because it is only an outlet from the mouth of the Victory River near Fort Victory.

The east and west sides of Fort Victory are not far from the mountains, and Fort Victory and its attached Great Wall stretch from east to west, across this relatively open valley.

Just a short distance to the east of Fort of Victory is the Yinma River, a small river that meanders and flows from south to north.

In order to let this small river out, when the side wall was built, an arched outlet was left under one of the side walls, and this section of the side wall happened to ride over the outlet of the Yuma River that flowed from the inside to the outside.

Therefore, this arched water outlet is commonly known as the water gate.

In order to prevent the enemy from entering the side wall, this low, arched water gate has been sealed by an iron fence since it was built, and no one can enter or exit from it except for the water of the Yuma River.

When preparing for the war before, Liu Yingxuan and others had inspected this water gate many times, and they also had people pile up a pile of rocks at the back door of the slightly decayed iron fence

However, it was this so-called "water gate" that was keenly discovered by Yue Tuo, who had been looking for the weak point of Fort Victory.

Just when Ye Chen took the place of Yue Tuo to command the army to storm the north gate of Fort Victory, Yue Tuo took the most elite and powerful team under his command and quietly came to the north of the water gate two miles east of the north gate of Fort Victory.
