"Fire!" Sonny stood on the wall of Shengjing City and yelled.
Thundered!
Immediately, the Tartars of the Shengjing City Wall also launched a counterattack, and there were many forts on their walls, after all, this was the capital of the Tartars.
"Shift position, the enemy has fired!"
The White Dragon Army had just projected two rounds of more than a dozen iron-clad mines when they heard the sound of cannons on the city wall, and then they pushed the catapult to move its position.
At the same time, Li Zixiao also led the cavalry of the White Dragon Army to move to avoid being affected by the Tartars' artillery fire.
Moreover, in this round of Tartar shelling, they mainly went to those catapults, and the Tartars also knew that it was still very difficult for them to shell the cavalry in the movement.
You must know that at this time, the Tartars are still using solid bullets, and they don't have explosive bombs and shrapnel like the White Dragon Army.
In this way, the power of solid iron bullets is still more lethal against those infantry troops that move slowly and are in dense formations.
However, at this time, Li Zixiao did not lead the cavalry to attack, but moved around Shengjing City, so that there were no explosive bombs, only solid bullets, which was too difficult to kill and injure those cavalry.
Moreover, at this time, Sonny couldn't just watch the four catapults in the distance keep projecting the kind of exploding iron balls into their city.
This explosive iron ball was projected into the city and on the city walls, causing them a lot of casualties.
Although this kind of iron-shelled mine that fell into the city was not as strong as explosive bombs and shrapnel shells, it was also much stronger than solid iron bullets.
So, Sonny ordered the artillery, and the first target to shoot was those catapults of the White Dragon Army.
The solid iron balls crossed an arc in mid-air, and then fell into the catapult of the White Dragon Army, which was enough for the White Dragon Sergeant to move the catapult for a while.
It's just that after the Tartar's shells fell, the iron ball jumped, which still caused some casualties to the White Dragon Army, and several unlucky eggs were wiped off, either dead or disabled.
However, the artillery loading of the Tartars is much more troublesome than the catapults on the side of the White Dragon Army to throw iron-shelled mines.
While the Tartars were loading artillery, the soldiers of the White Dragon Army quickly threw more iron-clad mines into Shengjing City using catapults.
Li Zixiao gave the order to these two hundred White Dragon sergeants who operated catapults to let them project all the more than 300 iron-shelled mines into Shengjing City in the shortest possible time.
Then, Li Zixiao was ready to pat his ass and leave.
In this way, the purpose of bringing troops to Shengjing City this time was basically achieved.
He also humiliated what should be humiliated, he also mocked what should be ridiculed, and he also demonstrated what should be demonstrated.
If they don't leave, if they really make the Tartars in Shengjing City anxious, let them see the reality of the White Dragon Army, and send troops to entangle them, and Li Zixiao will not be able to leave if he wants to.
Thundered!
On the wall of Shengjing City, there was also an explosion, the speed at which the White Dragon Army projected iron-shelled mines was too fast, and they could project more than a dozen at a time.
After the first round of artillery loading of the Tartar was completed, the soldiers of the White Dragon Army had completed five rounds of projection, and the iron-shelled mines in the box were reduced by more than half.
Just when the soldiers on both sides were engaged in this kind of alternative artillery battle, Sony, who was standing on the city wall, looked at the White Dragon Army outside the city and was slightly stunned.
At this time, Sony didn't understand Li Zixiao's actions.
He couldn't figure it out, what was Li Zixiao doing? Is this an offense? Without an infantry army, how could they attack the city, and why didn't the large army in their rear come over?
"Aren't they fully prepared, Li Zixiao came over today, just to demonstrate to us, and to beat our morale by fighting generals?"
Sony was the first to think in his heart.
He still didn't expect that in fact, there was no main force behind Li Zixiao, mainly because Sony didn't expect that Li Zixiao would be so bold.
At this time, if Sonny knew that Li Zixiao had no soldiers and horses behind him, only two thousand cavalry in front of him, he would definitely order the Tartars in the city to attack.
Sonny didn't need to send too many soldiers and horses, he only needed to send out 2,000 Tartar cavalry, and he could guarantee that Li Zixiao would stay north of the Hunhe River.
It's a pity that Sony has been confused by the smoke bombs released by Li Zixiao before, plus the scouts he sent out, none of them came back.
If he didn't get more accurate information, he didn't dare to act rashly, after all, he was guarding Shengjing City, and there could be no mistake.
Until there is 100% conclusive evidence that Li Zixiao has no more men outside the city, he will never send a single soldier outside the city.
Sony's main task is to defend Shengjing City, as for whether Li Zixiao can be eliminated, this is not the most important thing.
Don't seek merit, but seek no fault, this is the standard that Sony has set for itself.
"Almost."
After a stick of incense, the White Dragon Army's side almost finished projecting the iron-shelled mine, although it also paid the price of more than 20 casualties.
At this time, Li Zixiao was already ready to take people to withdraw.
It's just that at this time, the south gate of Shengjing City suddenly made a 'click' sound, and the south gate of Shengjing City suddenly opened at this time.
When Li Zixiao saw this scene, he was suddenly a little confused, what's going on? At this time, the Tartars opened the city gates, did they see their reality and prepare to send troops to deal with them?
"Not good, prepare to retreat." Li Zixiao's face changed slightly, and he ordered.
However, the next moment, Li Zixiao saw a scene that made him a little surprised.
I saw that near the south gate of the city that was pushed open, there seemed to be a battle going on, and there were three soldiers who were actually fighting with the Tartars, and one of the soldiers was holding a white cloth with the word 'Ming' written on it.
The simple 'Ming' flag was obviously made improvly, but the word 'Ming' on it was written in blood.
At this time, a soldier rushed out of the city gate and waved at them, but unfortunately the distance was too far for Li Zixiao to hear their specific voices.
Li Zixiao couldn't hear it, but Sony, who was standing upstairs in Shengjing City at this time, clearly heard Cao Ping's shout under the city.
"The city gate is open, hurry up and kill in!"
"What's going on?" Sonny shouted from the city walls, he didn't know what was going on under the city.
"Report!"
At this time, a soldier rushed over, knelt down in front of Sony, and said, "My lord, a Han army with white flags stationed at the city gate has defected, and they have opened the city gate. ”
"What? Damn, aren't there more than a hundred horses under the city? What do they eat? Sony yelled.
It's just that at this time, Sonny also knew that it was not the time to be held responsible, so he immediately ordered: "Take the soldiers on the city wall down, and be sure to immediately recapture the city gate and close the city gate."
Otherwise, if you let the Ming cavalry outside the city rush into the city, I want you to connect the nine clans! ”
At this time, Sony's face was red because of the loud roar, and the green tendons on his neck were bulging, like a tiger that chose people to devour, hideous and terrifying.
At this time, there were subordinates who rebelled and opened the city gates, and it was no wonder that Sony was not angry when such a ridiculous thing happened!
Even, at this time, there was still a trace of fear in Sony's heart, he was afraid that Li Zixiao, who would become him, would seize this opportunity and lead his cavalry to rush into the city.
At that time, once they rushed into the city, guarded the city gate, and waited for the main force of the Ming army to arrive, Shengjing City would be broken.
At this time, near the city gate hole of the south gate of Shengjing City, there were many corpses lying horizontally and vertically, including Tartars and ordinary traitors.
And Cao An and Cao Le were leading more than 30 soldiers to resist the many Tartar soldiers who poured over.
It turned out that Cao Ping took advantage of the opportunity of the Tartars to drink water and put poison in the water, poisoning the Tartars who were stationed at the city gate with them, as well as dozens of traitor soldiers.
And he succeeded in persuading thirty-eight of his own men to act with him, all of whom were traitors who had a grudge against the Tartars and who had no relatives in the city.
After all, in this case, Cao Ping only dared to persuade such subordinates, otherwise once the news leaked out, they would be finished.
During this period, there were indeed three or four traitor soldiers who were unwilling to do this with them, and without exception, all of them were killed by Cao Ping.
In this way, Cao Ping really took control of the southern gate of Shengjing temporarily, and then he took the two of them to open the city gate, and Cao An and Cao Le took more than 30 people to resist the rushing Tartars.
This is the power of traitors and defections, which are simply more terrible than ten times the enemy, and in the past this situation has mostly happened on the side of the Ming army.
That is, in the past, the Ming army was too wasteful, and it always lost the battle, if the Ming army could be stronger and stronger, in fact, the traitors on the Tartar side were more likely to rebel.
It's a pity that the Ming army has been defeated repeatedly, and they never let these traitor soldiers see some hope, so they can only be willing to die for the Tartars for themselves.
The little people can sometimes exert their big abilities and complete the counterattack of the little people.
"General, what now?" At this time, Qin Zhen, who was three miles away from the city, asked Li Zixiao.
Li Zixiao's face was cloudy, and he was also very tormented at this time, thinking about whether to take the opportunity to kill the past, knowing that once they were killed, they would have to endure great danger.
Even, it is easy to kill in, but it is difficult to kill again, unless they are fast in and out, before the Tartar forces can surround them.
As for whether this is a trap for Tartars, Li Zixiao's first reaction in his mind is, no.
Because, there is no need for Tartar to do this, unless Sony, who is guarding Shengjing City, has water in his brain at this time, or has completely recognized Li Zixiao's reality and reality.
Otherwise, he would never take the safety of Shengjing City to arrange such a trap.
Moreover, Li Zixiao used his glasses at this time, but he could see clearly that the battle at the city gate was very fierce at this time.
He watched Cao Ping slash two Tartars with his own eyes, and blood was shooting, it was definitely not acting, otherwise if Li Zixiao was not fooled, the price would be too great.
Therefore, Li Zixiao's main consideration at this time is whether to take the opportunity to kill it, this unexpected situation is something Li Zixiao never thought of before.
"Sure enough, the plan can never catch up with the change, fight once, kill!"
In the end, Li Zixiao still roared angrily, and led the cavalry of the White Dragon Army towards the southern gate of Shengjing, which had been wide open, and killed him.
Li Zixiao finally couldn't bear to give up, this was an excellent opportunity to enter Shengjing City, he was unwilling, this time he killed Shengjing City, and he could only walk outside.
It is rare to have such an unexpected opportunity, Li Zixiao finally gritted his teeth and led people to kill him.
He knew that he didn't expect it, and the Tartar side definitely didn't expect it, and at this time, it was estimated that the Tartar generals such as Sony in Shengjing City were also confused.
Therefore, at this time, he took the opportunity to enter the Shengjing City, and it was rare for the Tartars to besiege them in a short time.
As long as they ensure that after the assault into Shengjing City, they will rush all the way to kill, do not stop at speed, and then kill a circle and quickly come out, they should not be trapped in the city.
"Kill all these rebels and recapture the city gates, otherwise you nine clans will be punished, killed!"
At this time, more Tartars in the city finally came down from the city wall and killed more than 30 soldiers such as Cao An and Cao Le near the city gate.
"Brothers, hold on for a while, the Ming army outside the city will be able to kill in, revenge is today, kill!"
Cao Le shouted loudly to some of the soldiers beside him.
Soon, the Tartars who came over collided with Cao Le and more than 30 other soldiers.
Cao Le and the others were few, and there were many more people on the Tartar side than them, so they could only barely resist, and began to retreat gradually, and many people were killed.
In this way, the thirty or so of them can't last long at all.
"Big brother, we can't hold on anymore." Cao An shouted loudly.
"It's coming, the Ming army is coming, kill!"
Cao Ping rushed back from outside the city, roared excitedly, and joined the ranks of the Tartars.
"Hold on a little longer, and when the Ming army comes over, let's dodge, don't get in the way, otherwise we will be killed by mistake."
Cao Ping reminded his brothers.
Cao Ping knew that after the Ming army outside the city entered the city cave, they were cavalry and would never slow down, because speed was their biggest advantage.
At this time, they must not stand in the way, otherwise those Ming troops will not be able to distinguish whether they are enemies or not, and they will be killed together.
And in less than two minutes, more than 30 people on their side were killed by the Tartars and only a dozen people remained, and those Tartars were also crazy.
There were even Tartars who had crossed over to them, trying to close the gates.
"Kill!"
However, at this time, there was a tremor on the ground, and Cao Ping could already hear the shouting and killing outside the city.
Nearly 2,000 cavalry of the White Dragon Army, under the personal leadership of Li Zixiao, arrived in a short distance of three miles.
"Xiao An, Xiao Le, get out of the way!"
Cao Ping shouted loudly, and then directly gave up resisting these Tartars and took refuge on both sides of the city gate.
As a result, on both sides of the city gate where they had just taken refuge, they heard the screams of two Tartars in the cave of the city gate, and then the rumbling cavalry rushed through the city gate and killed them.
And those Tartar soldiers who had attacked them before also collided head-on, and the cavalry brigade of the White Dragon Army rushed in from outside the city.
