Chapter 209

Night, still shivering cold.

After learning about the situation inside and outside the city, Qin Huan immediately made a deployment and decided to divide his troops into four routes. At dawn, he shouted an arrow and started at the same time.

There are three routes, each consisting of 1500 Musketeers and 1500 infantry, blocking the four gates in the southeast and north of Dongchang Fucheng.

On the last way, 4500 soldiers and the remaining 3000 infantry, 1500 fire gun soldiers, raided the Tartars' camp in the west of the city and blocked the west gate at the same time.

Although half of the 6000 people in the three firearm camps are young men who have only been trained for more than a month, they are orphans who have experienced life and death. Moreover, 6000 people are equipped with a bird gun and dare to fight.

After the arrangement, all the troops began to detour quietly, while the Tartars in the camp outside the city were still sleeping. Some of the Tartars in the city were still playing, but some were tired and slept.

Until early in the morning, the noisy Dongchang Fucheng was completely quiet, leaving only those low and inaudible cries.

Although the snow in the North has stopped for some time, more than 10000 Chinese troops are still stiff in the melting snow.

If it hadn't been for thick cotton clothes, cotton armor, leather shoes, helmets and spirits, I'm afraid there would have been many non combat attrition before the war began.

This time, King Qin finally hardened his temper. Instead of hiding in the warm carriage, he stood in the snow and looked directly at the city in the distance, wearing a cloak and holding a knife handle.

This made all the soldiers bite their teeth and insist without complaining.

Even Li Yan came out of the car wrapped in a thick cotton padded jacket, with a sword pinned to his waist. It was obvious that he was going to kill later.

Qin Huan's affection for him inevitably increased. Scholars who dared to fight with the sword deserve his respect, such as Lu Xiangsheng.

"Send a signal, the whole army listens to orders, trot forward and kill Tartars!"

The army just waited for an hour. Not long after the circuitous soldiers arrived, Qin Huan shouted loudly. Nearly 9000 people stood up and began to trot on the snow.

Whew!

Boom!

In the numbing creak, a loud arrow with a sharp breaking sound exploded in mid air, completely breaking the tranquility before dawn.

The other three armies also moved one after another.

At this time, the sentinels in and outside the city found the enemy attack and warned one after another.

Almost all the Tartars in the camp slept in peace. At the first time, they climbed up, raised their bows, took knife backs and arrows, and then rushed to the horse shed. However, the Tartars in the city had to wear clothes and look for shoes.

"Kill!"

"Go!"

However, four or five miles away, Qin Huan and his army rushed to the camp in almost a quarter of an hour. The army hid and rushed into the camp.

More than 7000 eight banners and Mongolian cavalry have just turned over and mounted their horses. They are completely like a plate of loose sand and have not yet gathered.

Although the number of people on both sides was almost the same, they were caught off guard, and the camp was simple, so the Han soldiers and Tartars could not stop them at all.

Du Du, who was responsible for staying behind, saw that he suffered too much from fighting with the other party in the camp, and heard that there were enemies in other directions. He was afraid of being entangled and surrounded, so he immediately led the cavalry out of the camp.

Qin Huan did not catch up, but immediately formed a team and blocked the west gate, ready to rush to rescue each gate.

At this time, the Tartars in the city finally assembled. Under the leadership of yuetuo, they rushed to the west gate and prepared to support the camp outside the city.

But the narrow gate was blocked by 1500 fire guns. As soon as the front cavalry rushed out, they fell in pieces before they dispersed.

"Come on, get out of the city immediately, put an arrow to cover and then rush."

Yue Tuo immediately greeted him.

A famous tartar quickly got off his horse, climbed to the head of the city and shot arrows at the young soldiers, but he was stupid immediately. The other party was just outside the range of their bows.

"Damn it, where did the Ming army come from, even equipped with so many fire guns and bows and arrows? What's that bastard Du Du doing?"

Yuetuo ordered to stop charging and shooting arrows, climbed to the head of the city, and saw that there were tens of thousands of well-equipped and orderly big soldiers outside the city! The army was suddenly surprised and angry.

"Lord Baylor is bad. The other three sides are blocked by the Ming army and can't rush out at all."

"How many Ming troops are there on the other three sides?" Yuetuo's face was gloomy and almost dripping water.

"There are almost 3000 or so, and they are also equipped with a large number of fire guns, bows and arrows."

"What?"

Yue Tuo was really in a hurry this time. The Ming army with 20000 complete armor and skilled training surrounded them in the city. Finally, even if Du Du's response could rush out, he had to take off his skin.

"How can so many elite Ming troops suddenly appear? I haven't heard that Daming has such a powerful army besides Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong army? "

Yue Tuo, who led the army for a long time and almost killed Lu Xiangsheng, almost saw at a glance that the soldiers outside the city were not simple. Almost Jiucheng was a veteran who had seen blood.

Coupled with the uniform armor and uniform, and the neat team, I don't know that this is an elite army no less than Tianxiong army.

Yuetuo hurried to the other three cities and checked them one by one. Finally, he determined that the people who besieged them were indeed 20000 elite. He also knew that there was no response. They couldn't rush out alone unless they got off the horse and climbed over the wall.

However, he was not worried. Du Du still had more than 7000 iron cavalry in his hand, which was enough to flatten the other 3000 infantry from any side of the other three sides.

At the same time, he also pinched his sweat secretly. If the other party has another 10000 people, I'm afraid he doesn't really want to ask Dourgen for help.

At this time, Du Du was already on the periphery, gathered and assembled the whole team, and the 7500 cavalry only lost three or four hundred. He also found out the details of this group of Ming army, and immediately chose to attack from the East.

Because there are most soldiers and horses in the West. It takes the longest time for people and horses in the west to rush from the East.

Seven thousand people each had two horses, and the momentum of the impact was very frightening. 1500 infantry and 1000 Musketeers in the East were close together and nailed to a small area in front of the city gate.

The tartar cavalry first fired their arrows and saw that the other party's helmet was almost airtight. There were not only bows and arrows, but also fire guns. They couldn't take advantage of it. So they had to send a thousand horsemen to rush. Yue Tuo in the city also sent cavalry to rush outside the East city gate to attract the other party's fire guns.

Qin Huan didn't ask the soldiers outside the west gate to reinforce the east gate directly, but reinforced the north and South gates. Three thousand infantry from the north and South gates attacked the cavalry in the scuffle at the east gate from both wings at the same time.

Seeing that the other side's infantry not only dared to face the cavalry's attack, but also equipped with a large number of thunderbolts, a thousand cavalry not only did not disperse the other side's formation, but suffered heavy casualties. Du Du Du did not care about his heartache and sent two thousand cavalry again, and the infantry on the north and south sides just reinforced up. The two sides killed equally and bloody.

The cavalry can't completely detour because they are backed by the city wall. As for the cavalry in the city, they can't play much role at all. A round of platoon guns and a wave of arrows will have to clean up the horse and human corpses in front of the city gate for most of the day.

Seeing that there were only more than 1000 people left in the north and the reinforcements in the West had just arrived, Du Du immediately rushed to kill him with 4000 horses, trying to be caught off guard.

But at this time, Cao Bianjiao came with a thousand Pro guards and a thousand female soldiers, and a thousand female soldiers finally got on the Mongolian horse.

This scene startled both Du Du outside the city and Yue Tuo in the city.

The other party still has cavalry, or a full two thousand.

Du Du immediately gave up the idea of attacking outside the north city. First, he rushed up. The other party's cavalry is bound to rush up from the flank. With the infantry in the west, he will definitely suffer a great loss.

Second, he was worried that the other party still had cavalry peeping on the side, so he decided to withdraw the troops first and thoroughly investigate the surrounding situation.
