Chapter 1026: Reinforcements Come (Page 1/1)

Zhao Shujiao looked back at the four thousand soldiers behind him, these people were the elite in his hands. They are all elite soldiers who fought one battle after another, and even against the same number of Jurchen armored soldiers, they can retreat with their whole body.

If he encounters a similar number of Mongols, there is still a possibility of victory, but such a descendant force will venture into Zunhua County with him.

It's just that I don't know how many people will be left after entering the county seat, although there is a lot of unwillingness in his heart, Zhao Shujiao still gritted his teeth and gave the order for the whole army to assault.

With an order, 4,000 people rushed towards Zunhua County like a torrent, and the Mongol Tanma, who was patrolling the periphery, was startled by the sudden appearance of the Ming army.

With so many people attacking together, the Mongolian Tanma, who had a small number of people, did not dare to stop them at all, and hurriedly went back to report the news.

Mongol archers rode around Zunhua County on horseback, and when they saw the opportunity, they would shoot their bows and arrows at the head of the city.

Riding and archery was as simple for the Mongols as eating and drinking, and it was easy to use something that had been carved into their bone marrow.

The archery skills of the Mongol archers were very accurate, and the Ming army standing on the head of the city would be shot and fall on the head of the city if they were not careful.

Even if the head of the city had been set up to defend it, it still could not block the arrows of the Mongols, and there were soldiers on the head of the city who kept screaming.

The counterattack of the archers at the head of the city paled in comparison, and it was very difficult to shoot the Mongol archers who were galloping at high speed under the city.

Zunhua is the retreat of Huang Taiji into the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the importance here is undoubted.

For the sake of retreat, Huang Taiji must take here.

The moat under Zunhua City had long been filled, and countless Mongol soldiers rushed to the city against the ladders. The Mongols lowered their leather robes to their waists and rushed to the city shirtless.

They climbed the ladder without fear of death, even if they were beaten down again and again by the defenders.

In their opinion, this is fate, as long as they can fight in Zunhua City, everything is worth it, even if they die in battle.

Bulgatu was commanding the Mongols to attack the city, and he had already boasted in front of Huang Taiji that he must personally capture the county seat of Zunhua.

And Huang Taiji may be Noble Gatu, as long as the county seat of Zunhua is captured, the Mongols can enter the city first. Everything in the city belonged to the Mongols.

At this moment, the Mongols went crazy, and they were not afraid of death to attack Zunhua County. Even if the city was full of corpses, there was no intention of stopping, and everyone was holding back their strength to be the first to rush into the city and plunder.

Zunhua County was already a little crumbling under the attack of the Mongols, if it were not for the governor Wang Yuanya, the general soldier Zhu Guoyan personally supervised the battle at the head of the city, and the city would have been broken by the Mongols.

Finally repelled a wave of Mongol attacks, and the chief soldier Zhu Guozuo walked up to the city tower with a blood-stained sword.

"Lord Wang! Zunhua really can't hold it, the equipment to defend the city has been exhausted, and now it's all the brothers fighting with the Tartars with their lives.

Once Zunhua falls, the Tartars will definitely slaughter the city, and I hope that the adults will make plans for the things in the city! ”

Listening to Zhu Guoyan's words, Wang Yuanya's face was slightly moved. Looking at the wounded soldiers wailing at the head of the city, his expression was a little lonely.

"Is it really impossible to hold on?" His voice was low, as if he was asking Zhu Guoyan and himself.

Wang Yuanya took out a piece of white silk from his arms and said: "If Zunhua City breaks the official and has the responsibility to defend the land, the only way to die is to thank the emperor for his grace!" Mr. Zhu should find an opportunity to rush out! How many people in the city can save!

This is the last thing this official can do for them, Mr. Zhu can do it himself! ”

Zhu Guoyan saw the white silk in Wang Yuanya's hand with a somewhat solemn expression, although this Lord Wang was greedy for money, he should have no less integrity.

Thousands of miles of officials are only for money, and what official in the world is not greedy for money?

The Jurchens and the Mongols have already besieged the city of Zunhua, so even if they want to break through, where can they flee to?

Zhu Guoyan didn't continue to speak, and turned around to check which wounded soldiers were there.

If you want to boost morale, there is no need to say it again, and the blind can see that Zunhua City can't hold on.

The only thing we can do now is to do our best to obey the fate of heaven, and I hope that reinforcements can arrive to relieve the siege of Zun!

This can only appear in Zhu Guoyan's imagination, not to mention the fierce Mongolian cavalry, even those Jurchen Ming who know that the army can win in the field?

Maybe the Changxing Army under the Immortal Dingguo Gong can do it! But this is inland, and even if the Changxing army has wings, it is impossible to fly to Zunhua.

Walking at the head of the city in Zunhua, Zhu Guoyan glanced at the Mongols who were preparing to attack outside the city, called a soldier and said: "Tear down all the houses near the city wall, and use all the bricks, stones and wood to defend the city!" ”

The soldier trotted all the way down the city wall, but Zhu Guoyan knew that it was just an expedient measure.

Zunhua County needs reinforcements the most, the Mongols have been attacking for two days, every soldier defending the city is very tired, and no matter how many defensive equipment there are, they can't withstand the onslaught of the Mongols.

Just when Zhu Guoyan was thinking about how to delay time and hold out until the reinforcements arrived, a soldier at the head of the city shouted: "The Mongol Tartars are coming up again!" ”

This shout was the order of battle, and the soldiers who had just sat at the head of the city resting immediately became frightened, and looked nervously at the Mongols attacking outside the city.

Zhu Guoyan stood at the head of the city, his eyes firmly fixed on the Mongols attacking against the ladder, and when the Mongols entered the firing range, he ordered: "Release the arrows!" ”

The order to release arrows was transmitted, and the archers at the head of the city immediately threw a rain of arrows down the city.

There were so many Mongols under the city that they didn't need to aim at all, and they could shoot them as they ran.

The Mongol archers on horseback also began to fight back, and several arrows were fired at the slightest hint of anyone on the city.

Another fierce offensive and defensive battle unfolded, and the defenders, who did not have many defensive equipment, had no choice but to throw bricks at the city after throwing out the rolling logs and stones.

If the brick is thrown casually, it will not hurt the Mongols too much.

To stop the Mongols from entering the city, they had to smash bricks down with both hands, and whenever the soldiers tried to throw bricks under the city with both hands, the archers outside the city would shoot arrows.

For a while, the screams above and below the city continued, and soon some Mongols jumped on the top of the city.

Zhu Guoyan personally led his own soldiers to rush to the Mongolian soldiers who jumped on the city, and his personal soldiers were all wearing iron armor, so they did not suffer a loss to the Mongolian soldiers, and they could also occupy a lot of upper hand.

But his pro-soldiers are too few, and the 100-member pro-soldier branch can't play much role in Zunhua County.

Seeing more and more Mongolian soldiers ascending to the top of the city, Zhu Guoyan's heart also sank to the bottom.

"Reinforcements are coming!" This shout lifted the spirit of the defenders of Zunhua County.
