At the moment when the torches on both sides of the street were suddenly lit, the speed of the Ming soldiers who fled in front was much faster than just now. They rushed forward in complete recklessness, and when they heard the sound of the bowstring and the sharp arrow break through the air, they all rushed forward, and then fell to the ground in an extremely embarrassed posture.

Their series of actions naturally fell into the eyes of the Mengren, which made the other party unconsciously surprised, and I don't know which one the Ming Army was singing. Some of them, cautious or nimble-minded, had sensed something, and clenched the hilt of their knives with vigilance, as if something extremely dangerous was approaching.

In a moment's astonishment, a thud came from their left side, followed by a strong stream of air that rained down on fire, rubble, and nails.

The screams immediately rang out among these people, although these flying things were very common, but the destructive power produced at this time was extremely amazing, a stone the size of a thumb could penetrate the body of a sturdy Mongolian warrior in the blink of an eye, making him fall in a pool of blood in the blink of an eye.

What's even more terrifying is that that bang is just the beginning. Then, a series of rumbling sounds rang out on both sides of the street at the same time. The overwhelming rubble and iron nails with the whistling wind and the light of the fire rushed densely towards the unprepared and completely stunned Mongolian people.

Although they were all skilled in martial arts, and could easily block the arrows with the knives in their hands, these screeching nails, which were much faster and denser than arrows, were beyond their control. There was the one who reacted quickly, and he only had time to swing the knife in his hand twice, and he was beaten all over the body with blood, and fell to the ground with thousands of holes, becoming a bloody gourd.

Those who were slow to react could only fall down in the midst of screams, turning into broken sacks with the sound of roars and stones breaking through the air......

The stones and iron sand that came out of the sudden explosion did not have long eyes, and could not distinguish between friend and foe, and when they sprayed out, they not only reaped the lives of the Mongols, but also beat some nearby Ming troops into a blur of flesh and blood, and did not know whether they were alive or dead.

But because they had been warned, they had fallen to the ground before the explosion sounded, and the destructive fragments did not hurt too many people. And when all this stopped, the Ming army quickly jumped up, brandished steel knives and slaughtered the Mongols who were still breathing.

This battle was even more suspenseless than the previous defeat of the Ming army by the Mongols, who had already been beaten apart by this explosion, and the Mongols, who had suffered heavy casualties, could not even gather the strength to resist.

One is followed by wanton slaughter and harvesting of human lives. The soldiers of the Ming army, wielding their swords and guns in their hands, cut down and stabbed the Mongolian people who survived the explosion one by one without any mercy, and then cut off their heads—this is all a credit to them.

After many days of fear, the embarrassment and panic of being chased and killed just now were vented at this moment. After another scream, the most elite existence in the army of nearly a thousand Mengmen, those elite soldiers who could take dozens of fortresses with a few hundred people, all fell under the Ming saber that they had just ignored. Even Daba, the person who was the leader, was powerless to resist because his arms were injured by iron nails, and he was finally cut off by a knife.

In less than half an hour, thousands of Mongolian elites all died on the spot, and the blood almost reached the insteps of the soldiers of the Ming Army, and they, one by one, were full of excitement and murderous energy, searching everywhere, looking for where there were still fish that had slipped through the net.

Looking at the massacre in front of him, Zhou Zechuan couldn't believe his eyes, but the constant screams reminded him that all this was not a dream, but a real reality. The Ming army, in a completely unfavorable situation, actually completed the most complete reversal.

After being stunned for a long time, Zhou Zechuan's face also showed excitement, and then when he looked at Yang Zhen again, his expression was even more full of awe. If his respect for Yang Zhen before was only due to the identity of the other party's Qincha and Jinyi Wei Governor, now it is entirely because of the ability he showed in this battle.

This plan was naturally due to Yang Zhen's arrangement, after opening the door and robbing the army, the defeat of the ambush army led the other party into the street where a lot of gunpowder had already been buried. The strange big wooden barrels contained gunpowder hoarded in Datong City, as well as some other stones, iron sand, iron nails and other things.

As one of the important towns on the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty, there is a large amount of gunpowder in Datong City. And those simple cannons and muskets alone obviously can't use so much, and this time, Yang Zhen ordered someone to take out all the gunpowder in it, put it in barrels and put it on both sides of the road.

By the time the Mongols let their guard down because of a victory, they had fallen into a real trap. All you have to do is set up some people on both sides of the street to throw the things that ignite the fire with bows and crossbows, and then you just have to wait to see the show.

In fact, although the explosive power of these gunpowders is not small, it is much worse than that of artillery, and it can only cover a few feet in a radius. But they couldn't stand the enemy within the range of the explosion, and they were completely inexperienced, and they still stood in place in a daze when the explosion sounded, so their fate was self-evident.

In a battle that wiped out thousands of people, except for the damage of more than 100 people at the beginning, and the 20 or so unlucky ghosts who were affected by the explosion later, the Ming army suffered almost no other losses. This naturally made people rejoice, and they did not know that what they had defeated this time was the most elite of the Mongols.

When Yang Zhen and Zhou Zechuan came to check after the battle, those soldiers also had a very high respect for Yang Zhen, and many people landed on one knee and shouted in unison: "Meet Yang Dudu!" "Being a soldier has always respected the strong, and Yang Zhen has shown a strong strength that convinces everyone this time, not to mention the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp who came here with him, even those defenders of Datong, who are also completely convinced of him.

"You've all worked hard. If you are injured, go down and treat it, and the others will rest for a while. Someone else, hurry up and report the battle situation here to General Guo, so as to boost the morale over there. Yang Zhen casually picked up the person in front of him, and then ordered.

If he had given such orders before, others would have been a little dissatisfied, but now, everyone whispered yes and immediately moved. Those unlucky Mongol heads were also quickly collected by them and brought to the defenders over there to boost their morale.

At this time, there were bursts of stirring shouts and killings from the front again, and it was obvious that the Mongolian army continued to launch a fierce attack on Datong City at night.

Although he relied on a round of artillery bombardment to temporarily repel the enemy, Guo Rong did not have the slightest intention of rejoicing. Not only because he knew that this kind of artillery fire would not really determine the outcome of the offensive and defensive battles, but also because he was worried about the situation at the south gate behind him.

As an experienced border general, Guo Rong had clearly seen that the opponent's attack this time was just to drag down the troops on his side. That shows that the center of gravity of their real siege is in the area of the south gate, which makes him a little nervous, for fear that there will be something behind him, and it will be too difficult for this Datong City to defend it.

But Guo Rong didn't dare to send people and horses from here to support, who knows if this is a trick to get people to attack the east and west, and divert the tiger from the mountain? In fact, to put it bluntly, it was because of the lack of strength of the Ming army that this led to such a difficult situation.

"Hey, I knew this was the case, I shouldn't have taken that risk in the first place......" Once again, Guo Rong had a strong sense of regret for his previous decision. The loss of those 10,000 people was really fatal to the entire Datong.

Just when he sighed for a long time, there was a horn sound under the city again, and then the Mongolian army killed again, and in desperation, the Ming army had to continue to use various means to meet the defense, and the battle was not fierce.

"General, general......" A subordinate arranged below rushed over with a surprised face, and he was already shouting loudly when he was some distance away from Guo Rongshang. Behind him, there were two soldiers, also with a happy face.

Guo Rong commanded a platoon of archers to fire arrows to repel the approaching Mongols, and then turned around and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"General, great joy! News came from the south of the city that nearly a thousand Mongolian people had been completely annihilated. The subordinate hurriedly reported loudly.

As soon as these words came out, the other defenders at the head of the city were stunned, and they all showed unbelievable looks, and Guo Rong was also stunned for a while, and only asked after a while: "Is this true?" ”

You must know that after a battle in the daytime today, the Ming army only killed and wounded less than 800 men and horses, how long has it been, and the defenders in the south have actually achieved such a record?

The two soldiers who had rushed to report the news hurriedly replied: "General, this is true, those Mongolians have been killed, and their heads are already on the way to be transported. ”

"Good, good!" Guo Rong couldn't help but praise repeatedly, because he knew very well that this was an extremely exciting good news for his soldiers and horses. Then he asked, "What the hell is going on?" How did you achieve such a great victory? ”

"Everything is commanded properly by Yang Dudu......" The two of them quickly briefly said the previous battle, and the people around them were amazed.

And Guo Rong was full of sighs and excitement: "This Yang Dudu is really clever in his means." It seems that this time we will definitely be able to defend this Datong City! Thinking of this, his eyes when he looked at the Mongolian army under the city were full of confidence and murderous energy......
