Yang Ling took Mahalu away from the tent, left the tent's sight and increased his strength and headed straight for the mountain pass. The main force of the Ming army had retreated to the halfway mountain and defended from all sides. Only a small number of troops were left at the foot of the mountain to implement Yang Ling's cannon when he retreated, to slash the enemy's agility and stick to the strategy of waiting for assistance.

The war horses neighed and fired everywhere. A ball of soil was wrapped in snow and sprayed into the sky. In the thick smoke, there were war horses that stepped on landmines and fell to the ground, with people and horses. However, the torrent of the charge did not stop at all. Even if the frightened war horse deviated from the direction of the charge, the knights on the horse tried their best to adjust it to the correct direction immediately.

The inertia formed by the simultaneous galloping of thousands of war horses makes everything in front of them a flat target. No matter how superb the riding warriors are, they are not able to hold their own war horses at this time. Everything they stop will become an insignificant obstacle and are ruthlessly stepped into meat paste in an instant.

The wolf flag flew over, and countless knights trampled on the snow and mud, rolling in. The spears and halberds were dense like forests, and the sharp steel knife was full of bone-like cold tips, and the sound of thunder-like hooves was deafening. Xu Tai's face turned ashen, and the blue veins on his forehead stormed. He held the knife and stared at the Mongolian cavalry that were approaching. The cavalry that rushed in the front had already picked their bows and arrows, but Xu Tai still did not order the artillery.

"Buzz", like a ball of wasps taking off, the wolf-toothed arrow rushed over with a bloodthirsty roar. All the soldiers hurriedly avoided behind a giant shield that was one person high, and at the same time raised the round shield to protect the top of their heads.

"Du, tuk tuk..." The shield surface was covered with a layer of arrows. Some arrows passed through the cracks of the shield and shot the soldiers' bodies. Some people screamed and fell down. After a moment, the "tuk tuk" sounded again, and the second sharp arrow shot to the point.

Cavalry and shooting are the specialty of Mongolian cavalry. A considerable number of soldiers can shoot more than ten arrows in a row within the first breath. If a large group of Mongolian cavalry rushed over, they can shoot dense fast arrows at the first time, far and accurate, and extremely vicious. The attacker with arrows will be immediately dropped.

Xu Tai was brave and good at fighting. He had gone deep into the desert and was familiar with this set of tactics. Moreover, although poisonous artillery was suitable for such intensive charges, the range was not far. If the cannon was not fired when the squadron of enemy cavalry broke into the range, the empty shells could scare some war horses, but the Mongolian cavalry, who were as fast as the wind, could already rush in front of him during the reloading of the projectiles. As long as the so-called weapon was not properly grasped, it would turn into a fire stick, and it would be useless.

The third round of arrows poured on the giant shield like a rainstorm, and some stroke arrows that were not protected fell down. At this time, Xu Tai shouted like a spring thunder: "Fire the cannon!"

The Mongolian cavalry who had broken through the mine formation rushed to within thirty feet of distance, and the dark muzzles spewed out flames. Amid a deafening roar, thousands of lead bullets, stones, and iron nails counterattacked at a faster and more ruthless speed of Pilgrimage, sweeping the Tatar army.

Under the steel rain, even the bravest Mongolian soldiers and the war horses that were as stolen as dragons were also difficult to resist with their flesh and blood. They were invincible for a while. People were tilled over the horses, wooden shields were ragged, and iron-leaf shields also became sieves, and they flew out of their hands and flew into the air. They were only wearing leather robes and leather armored Mongolian soldiers under the dense artillery fire, which was like a pile of fallen leaves in the wind. They were immediately swept away from dust.

This strike was too fierce. The dense attack on the formation made the guns produce the greatest damage effect. Nearly a thousand warriors fell from horses, and more than 500 blind horses covered in blood were roaring and rushing around. The unstoppable Mongolian cavalry was abrupt.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xu Taiming's artillery reloaded ammunition again, and at the same time, there were twenty artillery guns that were always waiting but not fired to be on the battlefield to prevent the gap between the artillery fire. Boyan also issued a death order and ordered his confidant general Bodalmo to immediately organize a charge and break through the defense at the foot of the mountain in the shortest time.

Today's battle is not a strategy. The only goal of the offensive and defensive sides is on the mountain. As long as you break this mountain, your son will be fully revived, otherwise everything will be over. As Boyan's confidant general, Bodalmo knew the importance of time. He immediately led two thousand cavalry with his deputy general and Lindada. He rushed straight down the mountain in a winged shape. The soldiers, led by the general, rushed up, howling, and all their eyes were red.

Xu Tai sneered. When they were approaching, the poisonous artillery that did not require accurate shooting had only turned around slightly. A large piece of dense iron nails and lead balls shot out quickly. The Mongolian cavalry hid in the pedals, and the iron shield and armor were useless. They piled up a large piece of people and horses.

The deputy charger Zuo Dada died on the spot. Bodalmo blinded his eyes, opened a hole in the corner of his mouth, exposed his white teeth, and still charged with the remaining soldiers like a desperate charge.

More than a hundred soldiers in the Ming army's positions were killed by the arrows of Mongolian cavalry and had no time to load ammunition. The twenty spare cannons roared and sprayed out a tongue of flames. The remaining Mongolian soldiers in the smoke had only time to shoot two arrows and were already shot down.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Kenong gathered three thousand elite cavalry and rushed over with three wings on the left, center and right. Boyan's heart was bleeding. These were all his subordinates, but at this time they could no longer hide their own private parts. No matter how much the price they paid, he had to conquer Bai Dengshan.

This time, the large-scale recruitment of elite troops from various departments plundered the border was to avenge his son, but the more important reason was that the Ming Dynasty emperor had just passed away, and the new emperor was a 16-year-old boy. The country was suspected that the country was the best opportunity, but no matter what, he never expected that this little emperor would be completely indifferent and was more warlike than Emperor Hongzhi.

Not only did he quickly recruit heavy troops to the border, but the generals sent were also brave and resourceful. The Tatar army was bound to be bound by and exhausted all the supplies. What he unexpectedly expected was that he had always defended but did not attack. Since the battle of Tumu Fortress, he regarded the desert as a fearful journey, and the Ming army took the risk of sending a strange soldier to sweep the entire desert in the empty space.

Since the three hundred personal guards under house arrest in Mandu Sea were wiped out, he still did not know that the Empress of Mandu Sea, which had always been prestigious in the desert, had also fallen into the hands of the Ming Dynasty. However, before sending troops, he secretly arranged to monitor the whereabouts of various tribes. The news that various tribes were attacked, cattle and sheep were killed, and grass was burned was quietly delivered. This news was a little worse for Boyan, who had just been defeated.

He has just unified the desert with powerful force. Once he suffers this heavy blow, the ambitious tribes will be ready to move. The situation of newly unified will inevitably fall into disintegration again. The only way out is to kill the Ming emperor. A major military victory can transfer all problems on the grassland and make his personal prestige reach an unprecedented peak. All questions and accusations will scatter like clouds due to this great achievement.

The active cooperation of the Maitreya Cult gave him an opportunity, so the desperate Boyan blocked the water breath and prepared to make a desperate bet. He broke through the pass and rushed to attack. Who would have thought that he would fall from the sky? In the past, Yesen could defeat the 500,000 Ming army with 50,000 troops and captured the Ming emperor. He was the descendant of the brave Genghis Khan. Could it be that he could not kill Zhengde, who had only more than 10,000 troops and guarded him with nearly 50,000 troops?

As long as Zhengde can be killed, no one in the Ming court can command the world. Now Zhengde's trusted ministers and all officials who have lost power in the face of criticism and counterattack will inevitably fight each other. The kings' struggle for succession will cause chaos. Even if they cannot win Datong, they cannot take the opportunity to get a piece of the pie. He can also calmly return to the desert and rest.

As for Yang Yiqing's nearly 100,000 troops, it was not in his eyes. Yang Yiqing's troops were stationed at various passes, garrisons, and castles in the Great Wall. Although the total strength of the troops exceeds him, the force that could quickly concentrate near Datong could not exceed him. Moreover, the Ming Emperor was here, and the Ming army had no time to arrange it calmly. All the troops and horses would come to serve the king at all costs, and the Great Wall passes would be flawed everywhere.

So as long as he can kill Zhengde before Yang Yiqing gathers his troops, he can use the advantage of cavalry to jump out of the Ming army's encirclement and escape calmly. What he needs now is only time, because he only has the chance to fight, and now he can use his flesh and blood to travel the road, and he can do whatever he wants.

Kenon's army rushed over, and the cannons that had been loading ammunition left dead bodies in the earthquake. Under Boyan's strict orders, the Tartars charged forward like a tide like a tide. Xu Tai immediately shouted and called up the mountain. Under the cover of the shield and musketeers, the soldiers began to move up the mountain. The gunners buried long leads in the ammunition, and the last group of evacuated positions.

The Tartars rushed up the mountain like a wolf or a tiger. The vanguard had just driven the horse to rush up to the halfway up the mountain. The explosives at the foot of the mountain sounded, and blood rained from the broken limbs and broken arms flew. A huge horse's head flew to the halfway up the mountain. It fell to the ground with a bang. The two huge horse urethra made people feel cold.

The commander Wu Zhumuqin glanced back and saw that the storm formation was blown up by about ten feet. There were more than 300 people around him. As long as he rushed to the mountain to occupy even a cup of tea, the follow-up troops could rush up the mountain continuously. He roared and roared in Mongolian words: "Kill up and slaughter the Han people like cattle and sheep!"

The cavalry that rushed in front had just sounded, and the horses were stumbled and fell off their horses. The hillside was covered with caltrops, and the passage in the middle was originally covered with wooden boards, but it had been removed at this time. Although the rushing speed on the slope slowed down, the horse's hooves suddenly stepped into the pit and still broke the horse's legs. The war horses injured by the caltrops were also turbulent and difficult to control.

At this moment, a team of Ming troops appeared on the top of the mountain with distinctive armor. Wuzhumuqin saw a row of winged gun handles behind them and couldn't help but breathe a breath of air conditioning, and immediately shouted: "Drop off the horse and use the war horse as a shield!"

It was too late, hundreds of Ming soldiers were descending from a high place, and the three-foot-long javelins drew graceful arcs and flowed down. The powerful and heavy javelins could even pierce the horse's heads. They inserted into the human body without any obstacles. A dull "puff" sound, and fresh lives instantly turned into cold corpses.

Altay led the army to rush forward. He received only one order from the land, and at all costs, he had to seize the mountain as soon as possible, even if the entire army was gone. The Ming army and the land were fierce and cruel. They also had no way out. If the Tartars rushed up the mountain and waited for them, they would only die.

The musketeers from Yangling were formed in a perfect match with the Duoyan archer of Mahalu. They shot in a row with a "bang bang bang". The musketeers immediately retreated and loaded ammunition. The archers of the three guards of Duoyan and the Tatars who attacked the hillside used the same skillful and exquisite skills to shoot each other. The flying arrows were like rain. Some soldiers were bombarded by the musketeers like sieves, and some were shot like hedgehogs by crossbows. Both sides used the hillside as their positions, and corpses were like walls, and howled everywhere.

Yangling stood on the top of a high mountain. The mountain was steep and the Tartars could not attack the mountain from here, so it was just for watching and watching the battle. According to the Tartars' troops attacking the mountains everywhere, Yangling constantly issued instructions to allocate musketeers, archers and other distance attack soldiers, and prepare for hand-to-hand combat.

The Tartars were as powerful as a mad tiger. The Ming army stood firm, and the two sides were like beasts fighting for food, fighting like a tug-of-war, falling into a madness one after another. There were more and more corpses on the ground, and shouts and roars spread from afar.

Mahalu looked around with a serious expression and said in confusion: "Mr. Yang, Boyan does not care about casualties, and the offensive is very urgent. Tian Khan and the leaders of various tribes are on the mountain. This is too dangerous. Why haven't the ambush appeared yet?"

Yang Ling laughed and said, "General Mahalu doesn't have to worry. Look, although Boyan's men are crazy, they are still difficult to get ahead of the line. He did not expect that there were 20,000 elite soldiers on our mountain, so it would be no problem to stick to it.

It is clear at a glance here. If the ambush was set up close and had been discovered by Boyan, it would take some time for our army to come. By then, Boyan was all tired. Our local people would be like autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves, leaving him to heaven and earth with nowhere to escape!”

Mahalu felt a little relieved when he heard this. He saw that the people on the left side of the mountain were very anxious. The two sides had already started a hand-to-hand fight halfway up the mountain. Among the crowds, the roar was like thunder. With each roar, the sword light flashed and the gun shadow whirred. From time to time, someone was stabbed to death and killed. In a flash, it became a flesh and blood slaughterhouse. Archers on the mountain were still shooting arrows at the Tartars behind them.

Mahalu couldn't help but say angrily: "I'll go over there and take a look. Before the reinforcements arrived, don't let them go up the mountain."

Yin Qi was worried and just now she followed her. She was just a guard. In addition, the three guards of Duoyan are fighting side by side with the Ming army, so Wu Hanchao was inconvenient to stop her, so she followed her.

Yin Qi stood aside, with a beautiful look on his face. He looked at Yang Ling's expression carefully and suddenly asked, "It turns out that the distance between the generals in the court is from the emperor, the more they can win the battle. The more they stay by the emperor, the more they are afraid of this and that.

The Tatar cavalry is coming and going, and it is difficult for you to catch his shadow. Now, using the emperor as bait to attract his army and then surround him from outside, it sounds like an excellent plan, but if reinforcements are not delayed, you will be eaten by others, and now we will be eaten by others even if we are implicated."

Why didn't Yang Ling feel nervous? He originally agreed to ignite smoke when encountering danger and sent troops to rescue him by Datong. Now the general of Datong has received the news and sent Xu Tai to protect him. There is no reason to have no follow-up troops to support him unless Datong City is also attacked.

If that were the case, only Yang Yiqing's men could be expected, but Yang Yiqing had few soldiers and cavalry guarding the border. Even if he had all his strength, it would take an hour. By then, it would be the end of the powerful crossbow, and it was unpredictable how much combat power would be.

Yang Ling was afraid that too much would lead to mistakes, so he did not dare to answer her second question, but he deliberately smiled: "Miss, the comment that the general is farther away from the emperor, the more he can win a battle, it seems to be completely incompatible with the worry in the second sentence. What does this mean?"

Yin Qi stared at him suspiciously with big eyes, "Because you don't seem to be obeying the emperor's orders, but... it seems like the emperor has no idea. All of this is your command. Have you really discussed seducing Boyan? Didn't he fallen into Boyan's plan?"

Yang Ling's heart was thrilled and forced a smile and said, "Why did the girl say this?"

Yin Qi curled his mouth and said, "You Ming people are so precious to the emperor. Will you take such a big risk? The more I think about it, the more wrong I am. Look, how urgent the attack at the foot of the mountain is, you use the opportunity of the alliance to attract Boyan, but it is so shaky..."

She said as she walked to the cliff and leaned over to watch the battle at the foot of the mountain.

Yang Ling suddenly felt murderous intent in his heart. Duoyan Sanwei was a famous fence-bearer. It was hard to say whether he would make mistakes or turn against him in the face of the battle. The little girl has been following Huadang, and must be his close confidant. If she was asked to go back and talk, more than 10,000 lives in this mountain would be in danger of being buried in her hands, and even the Ming Dynasty, and all her relatives...

There were my own personal soldiers next to me, and the battle was in a tight situation, and no one paid attention to it. Just push it...

Yang Ling was fighting in her heart, and one hand was raised in the air, and she could not make up her mind to kill. At this moment, Yin Qi had turned around. When she saw Yang Ling's eyes, she suddenly took a step to the side with vigilance, grabbed the scimitar at her waist, and scolded coldly: "I'm right? Do you want to kill me?"

Yang Ling was stunned and forced a smile and said, "Why did the girl say this? Why did I kill you for no reason?"

Those beautiful big eyes made Yang Ling's face feel hot. For the first time in his life, he had a murderous intention toward an innocent person. Although it was for more life, wasn't he using the three guards of Duoyan? A sense of shame arose in his heart.

Yin Qi snorted coldly and said, "Because you are afraid that we will turn against you and turn against you in the face of the battle. General Yang, don't think we are so unbearable. Although my father sometimes goes to Boyan's side, it is also for the survival of the entire tribe."

She shook her head and sighed, "Don't worry. Now I have already boarded your pirate ship, so I can only walk with you with the bullet and make a big deal. At this time, I have made too much effort to turn against you, so even if my father is suspicious, I will cover it up for you. But... I hope your army can really arrive in time, otherwise you will harm our clan."

Yang Ling was ashamed of himself, and he suddenly shouted: "Come here!"

Yin Qi shook his body. He let out a scimitar, and pointed the blade straight at Yang Ling's throat. Hearing the sound, the guard rushed to the front immediately drew his sword and pointed it at Yin Qi when he saw this.

Yang Ling said frankly: "In the past, the three guards of Duoyan were swaying before the Ming Dynasty and the Tatars, so my official was relieved. However, the girl was right, the enemy was in front of us. We should trust each other and work together to overcome difficulties. If we still doubt each other at this time, we can only die together."

Yin Qi also looked at him for a while. Suddenly, he turned his wrist and slashed into the sheath with a scimitar. She said with a smile: "You Han people are really cunning. These words sound nice. In fact, in the end, it is just to tell me that if you die, we will not be able to survive.

Humph! I tell you, Boyan asked my father for a marriage. As long as I promised to marry Boyan, the three guards of Duoyan will surrender to the Tatars, we still have a way out, so we will try our best to help you, but if your people cannot arrive in time, if all the tribe leaders are killed, our tribe members will be annexed and become slaves.

Therefore, when this mountain is captured, we will definitely choose the latter between the fall of the entire clan and the surrender of the reign of the clan. I am also willing to give my own contribution to the clan members!"

She said it very calmly, her eyes were pure like a spring, using her own chastity to exchange for tribes and people to survive. This kind of Han woman was influenced by the concept of chastity as great as heaven and earth, and even if she did it, she was ashamed to say something, but she said it was extremely sacred.

Yang Ling thought about it and said solemnly: "Okay! Let's make a gentleman agreement. This mountain can be guarded, so we will do our best to defend it together. When the mountain is captured, I will sacrifice my life for the country. The actions of the nobles are up to you to decide!"

Yin Qi stared at him for a while, and nodded solemnly.

Yang Ling turned around and said to the guards: "Go, ignite the wolf smoke and call the emergency to all the nearby barriers!"

The Tatar's assault vanguard wedged into the rushing like an axe. Its momentum was like a tide and was unstoppable. Its serrated force was serrated with the Ming army on the hillsides everywhere. The Tatar's fast horse was unable to exert its advantage, but it was because of the large number of people and the powerful, and they were all fierce. The Ming army was condescending and occupied the advantage of the territory, and they all fought desperately and sweared to retreat.

The guns and arrows were raining, and the blades were flying across the sky. Tens of thousands of people were shouting for life. The entire killing battlefield was boiling, but the Tartars rushed to the mountain and made up halfway through the mountain with endless blood and corpses. They could not even think of attacking the mountain for an hour. By then, the reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty should have been killed.

"Woo"  , the arrow arrived first, and when the sharp roar came into my ears, a sharp wolf-toothed arrow penetrated into the chest of a Ming army like lightning. The arrows burst out from the back, carrying a large bunch of blood flowers, and their strength was extremely fierce.

The Tartars had just hit the second arrow when they were hit by a musket. Xu Tai and Liu Dabangchui held a gun and the other, and the weapons guarding the mountain were hiding the sound of wind and thunder, like poisonous dragons, thrusting, pricking, sweeping, sweeping, sweeping... There were fierce Tartar soldiers around them constantly falling down. The two controlled the range of fifteen or sixteen steps horizontally, and no one could enter. This majesty inspired the soldiers around them. The sword hand had abandoned their shields, and they held the sword in both hands to fight with the Tartars.

This is a tough battle. The final outcome only depends on the strength of both sides' forces, morale, whether the battlefield dispatch is reasonable, the proficiency of team cooperation, and the completeness of various weapons, and there is no big relationship with the strategic use. So far, the guardian side still has the advantage.

The dead were piled up on the hillside, with broken limbs and broken arms scattered everywhere, and blood stained the land. The bloody nose stimulated the soldiers' murderous intent, using bows, swords, shields, guns, and guns. The knife and arrows were shot, like breaking waves, blood-staining armor, and they ignored it. Everyone seemed crazy. They just kept waving their weapons, forgetting life and death, and forgetting fear.

At the foot of the mountain, Boyan rode his horse back and forth, encouraging the soldiers to move forward bravely. Now every moment of time, his hope of success is reduced by a little. How can he not be extremely anxious?

At this time, a Tartar general ran over panting and said, "Shan, forty cannons have been installed. Is it used to attack the mountain?"

When Boyan heard this, he immediately pulled the horse and said, "Hurry, transport it to the front of the mountain immediately. Use the tent to attack the mountain, and continue to assemble it behind. All 120 large cannons are used for me. I see where Zhengde will escape. Hahahaha..."

A trumpet of trumpets started, and the Tartars who were attacking the mountain retreated one after another. The soldiers on the mountain were stunned: "The Tartars retreat? Are they going to abandon the attack and escape?"

But then they found that the Tartars were pushing dozens of tall wooden frames and walking down the mountain. Each wooden frame was followed by hundreds of Tartars, holding long ropes in their hands. What is this? The officers and soldiers from the Beijing camp were inexplicably surprised, but the officers and soldiers under Xu Tai and the three guards of Duoyan exclaimed one after another.

"Huihui cannons, they transported Huihui cannons!"

Xu Tai shouted sternly: "What are you afraid of? The plains on all sides here are all land. Where did they get huge rocks and throw them into the mountains?" The soldiers were relieved after hearing this.

The "Huihui Cannon" is made of a large wood as the frame, and the joint is connected by metal parts. A rotatable gun shaft is placed on the gun stand. The long pole fixed to the shaft is used as the gun tip. It is actually a stone thrower, which is used to shoot stone bullets. There are as many as a hundred ropes under it, each of which is pulled by two people, and the range can reach hundreds of steps.

When Mongolia attacked Xiangyang, Hui Hui cannons threw huge rocks. A volley shot fired to destroy the city walls of Xiangyang. The three-year battle in Xiangyang was settled. Similar trenched stone machines in the Central Plains had appeared as early as the Spring and Autumn Period, and this kind of Hui Hui cannon was simple to install. During the Jingkang period of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Jin soldiers attacked Bianliang and installed more than 5,000 cannons overnight. Unexpectedly, in order to succeed, Boyan actually carried a large number of equipment on a carriage and carried a lot of equipment to assemble at the foot of the mountain.

However, the huge rocks used cannot be used locally. No matter how powerful the Mongolian war horses are, it is impossible for dozens of miles of surprise attacks to come with hundreds of pounds of huge rocks. What should they use to attack the mountain?

The "Huihui Cannon" stopped at the foot of the mountain. The distance between the arrows was at the end of their power and could not cause harm to them. The officers and soldiers on the mountain could only hold their weapons tightly and wait quietly.

A grim smile appeared on the corner of Boyan's mouth. He didn't expect that the people and information on the mountain were wrong, but it seemed that there was more than twice as much as possible, resulting in a setback in the offensive. However, with this weapon, how long can the Ming army, which only possesses simple mountain guarding equipment, last?

Although the trencher was mainly used to throw huge rocks to destroy city walls and kill soldiers, the Mongolian army suddenly had a clever plan during the Battle of Warsaw during the Battle of Warsaw, and fired a large number of poisonous smoke balls with Huihua cannons, which made the whole city full of smoke from arsenic and wolf poison.

When the Mongolian army attacked Constantinople, the plague was prevalent in the army. The Mongolian army simply threw the bodies of the dead soldiers into the city with cannons, causing the plague in the city to rise. It is said that the merchants infected with the city escaped on a boat and brought Asian plague bacteria to Europe, which triggered the "Black Death" that made Europeans shudder, and took one-third of the lives of Europe at that time.

After the split of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, most of the enemy cavalry attacked the border were aimed at plundering. In addition to using "Hui Hui Cannon" to throw huge rocks the year before yesterday, they were rarely used, so even Xu Tai did not think of other uses.

The "Huihui Cannon" at the foot of the mountain was properly placed, and a burning giant ball flew straight to the top of the mountain, and it hit the ground with a choking smoke immediately dispersed. I don't know what was added to it, and the balls were still burning, emitting a spicy and pungent smell.
Chapter completed!
