Chapter 764: Turned into Smoked Bacon
That's right, they didn't expect that there was a Ming army of 15,000 people, long before the explosion at the south gate, it was already in ambush in the middle of the city!
After two days and two nights of cooperation, the Jianghe Gang Cottage Houtu Banner and the Demon Sect's Authentic Houtu Banner not only dug a secret passage to the bottom of the south gate, but also derived a branch from that secret passage, leading directly to the center of the city.
Originally, they wanted to support Nancheng, so that they would definitely be able to go down to Nancheng.
But when I came out, I was glad to see it by the light of countless flares in the air.
Hey, there are a bunch of enemy troops sleeping in front of me, where can I find such a good bargain?
So he slew it with great joy.
Not to mention that the combat effectiveness of the Mongolian soldiers and the soldiers of the Western Regions on the ground was not strong in the first place, and they were all newly awakened, and they were scattered everywhere - they had to find corners and remnants of walls that could shelter from the wind, so at most they only gathered in groups of three or five.
Under all kinds of unfavorable factors, in the face of the sudden wolf-like Ming army, they can quickly organize a decent resistance, and there will be ghosts!
And so suddenly a one-sided slaughter took place!
The Ming army spread out in an arc, like a huge net covering the enemy, and the Mongolian soldiers and Western Regions soldiers in the "net" were like small fish, they or a few people fought separately, or yelled and ran around, but all such people would definitely die.
It really responds to the phrase "catch them all".
However, it was a man in his early 10,000s, and after paying the price of more than 2,000 people, they finally got together and began to fight back.
It's just that the strength of this counterattack is too weak in the eyes of today's Ming army.
They assembled in a hurry, without formation or cooperation, and soon fell apart again under the neat charge of the Ming army.
The soldiers and horses who entered the city this time were led by Zhang Xiao, and Lai San'er, Chen Jing, Meng Wei, Meng Hu and other companions, these old men of the Jianghe Gang couldn't help but be happy when they saw the battle like this.
Since the Northern Expedition, there has never been such an easy battle.
However, what they didn't expect was that there was even greater fun waiting for them.
Not long after the two sides fought, an old oilman of the Jianghe Gang suddenly found that a floor tile was jacked up somewhere, and a head poked out from below.
If it is the head of an ordinary civilian, the key is that the head is still wearing a yellow helmet.
He laughed and cried out like a donkey, "Oh, brothers, come and see, there are tartars under here!"
"Where, where?"
"Haha, Tartars are all rats, right?"
"Who are you scolding, old donkey, didn't we just come out of the ground?"
When the Tartar saw that the Ming army had discovered him, he didn't know what to think, so he instinctively reacted and grunted back again.
Everyone is happier.
Hey, I can't see you when I go back, can I?
Soon, a bunch of Ming soldiers surrounded him.
Removing a few floor tiles, I saw a three-foot square hole in front of me.
The black hole under the ground is so hollow that you can't see it clearly.
A few of the Flaming Banner men were skinned, lit five or six thunderbolts, and threw them into them with a grunt.
Boom Boom!
With a few muffled sounds, I felt the ground shake a few times.
Puffs of smoke rose from the air.
Immediately, there was an unstoppable coughing and wailing from underground.
Hey, that's a lot!
How do you deal with the Tartars underground? The old men of the Jianghe Gang have experience in this work! They encountered this situation when they fought with the Giant Whale Gang back then.
He slipped off the clothes of a few enemy soldiers and lit them, then wrapped them in a pile of woods that had been wet with snow and threw them under the whirl.
Plumes of smoke suddenly came out, and the Ming soldiers at the entrance of the cave choked on tears.
Well, move most of the tiles back and seal them, leaving only a small hole.
The cellar they found was one of the dense cellars where the Tartars stored their grain, and there were more than 3,000 elites hidden in it.
As soon as the Ming army released the smoke, they suffered, and the small space was suddenly covered with thick smoke, and the violent coughing sound came and went, one louder than the other.
If you continue like this, you will definitely be suffocated.
But fortunately, there was another exit from the cellar, and they didn't care so much, so they quickly opened the other exit and climbed out like crazy.
However, the exit was not far away, and two or three of them had just climbed out and were discovered by the Ming army.
The donkey's voice shouted again, "Hey, everyone, come on, there's still a hole here!"
So a large wave of Ming troops killed again.
The Tartars climbed up one by one, and a bunch of people from the Ming army surrounded the entrance of the cave, coming up and chopping one by one, not to mention how happy it was.
The Tartars also knew that they couldn't do it.
So they put black spears and arrows upwards from under the mouth of the cave.
Ming Jun is playing this at a glance? Okay!
Keep throwing thunderbolts.
Boom Boom!
After a few loud bangs, the bottom of the cave finally died down again.
The donkey's voice shouted again, "Brothers, let's continue to make a fire for them, it's strangely cold!"
The Tartar hated the donkey's throat to death.
The fire was lit again, and now there was smoke at both ends, and the tartars in it were either suffocated or crawled out from under them one by one to be hacked to death.
The Mongol soldiers and the Western Regions soldiers on the ground have been defeated and unable to help the Tartars underground. The Ming army was not stupid, drawing inferences from one another, and immediately guessed that since there were Tartar soldiers in a cellar, there must be two or three, so they specially sent people to keep an eye on the ground, and as long as they found someone drilling, they would do the same.
So a funny scene happened, a total of more than 7,000 Tartar elites hid in the cellar at a critical moment and couldn't get out.
Two-thirds of them were discovered by the Ming army, and now they are suffering from the Ming army's smoky Dafa!
When they come out, it will probably be smoked bacon.
And the Tartars in the cellar, who were not found, did not dare to come out even if they were killed.
At the same time, after the 10,000-50,000 Ming army easily defeated the Mongolian soldiers and the Western Regions soldiers in their early 10,000s on the ground, they were chasing and killing happily, and suddenly found that another army was running from the north of the city.
This army was originally going to reinforce Nancheng, but when they ran to the city to take a look, they found that the Ming army had already attacked here, and they were immediately stunned.
Chengnan collapsed so quickly?
If you calculate according to the time, it is not even a quarter of an hour before the explosion sounds!
In less than a quarter of an hour, the Ming army can attack the hinterland of the city, which is simply overwhelming and devastating!
The Ming army is no longer strong, it is unreasonably strong!
In this way, these reinforcements have already lost in momentum.
Coupled with the fact that they only have 3,000 people, they can't defeat the Ming army of more than 14,000 at this time.
Zhang Xiao led the army to continue to crush ......
It was probably the most bittersweet fight he fought.
When Mang Gurtai heard that there was another elite Ming army in the city, his body shook and he almost fell.
And when he heard that the 18,000 people in the center of the city who were resting in rotation were almost all wiped out, and more than 7,000 of them were dead underground, he finally could no longer stand and sat down on his chair at once.
He didn't want to wonder how the Ming army entered the city, he just wanted to know if he could get out of the city alive today.
Defeated, already defeated!
After a few seconds of dejected silence, he immediately said to Hauge, "Order, open the city gates, and the whole army will break through!"
The Tartars stopped fighting, and they didn't have the heart to fight anymore.
At this time, if you don't run again, you won't be able to run back.
By this time, the southern part of the city had been completely occupied by the Ming army, and the Tartar soldiers here were losing ground one after another—along with the 6,000 soldiers and horses that had been reinforced in the past, they also had to retreat.
After receiving the order, the Houjin army in the west, north, and east of the city immediately abandoned the city wall, opened the city gate and ran out.
At this time, there were about 4,000 Houjin troops in the west, north and east of the city, and after they ran out, they were immediately surrounded and suppressed by the Ming army that had been waiting for a long time.
Qin Shuhuai's 60,000 soldiers and horses, 20,000 attacked the southern city, 15,000 attacked the city through the tunnel, and 5,000 were on guard on the periphery, but there were still 20,000 in the east of the city, north of the city, and west of the city.
Let's say that after those Tartars ran out, there was not even a single cavalry - the cavalry was sent to Kaesong!
Without cavalry, there is no thought of breaking through the defense line of the Ming army.
The desperate Tartars burst out with amazing courage and strength, and they rushed towards the Ming army with red eyes, and the two sides soon became entangled.
However, the Ming army in the east, north, and west of the city each had about 7,000, and they had set up their formations early, and they were destined to occupy a huge advantage in the face of the Houjin army, which was only more than 4,000 in number!
The victory of the Ming army was decided.
And it's destined to be an unprecedented victory!
