Chapter 1061 1056 [Wu Dalang’s first soy sauce battle](2/2)
The sacks have been used up and only the tamarisk basket is left.
Wu Juyuan received a basket on his back, quickly dug out sand and loaded it with it, and then went to the battlefield to fill the trenches again.
After going back and forth several times, the trench was finally filled up.
He and other civilians were ordered to retreat, and countless soldiers advanced to the sound of war drums.
The sounds of fighting could be heard in the distance, but Wu Juyuan could not see clearly.
With the Ming army's flag firmly planted on the barrier, Wu Juyuan realized that the second barrier had been captured.
"The Ming Dynasty will be victorious!"
Wu Juyuan blurted out, stood among the people, raised his arms and shouted.
The frightened civilians nearby couldn't help shouting after him, and then more and more civilians cheered and shouted.
The Ming army's position moved forward as a whole.
Wu Juyuan and others were also sent out to flatten more barriers and consolidate the uneven trenches, because there would be siege equipment to pass later.
"Boom boom boom boom!"
The sound of artillery sounded again, this time it was bombarding the fortifications of Kucha City.
The city towers, war tents, arrow towers... were torn off by cannonballs one after another, and there were also a large number of gaps in the parapet.
Under such circumstances, no matter how tall and strong the city walls are, the city's defensive power is almost halved, and the defenders only have the advantage of being at a commanding height.
The siege equipment was pushed to the bottom of the city one by one. They were built by the craftsmen who were the first to accompany the army when Wu Juyuan was transporting grain from the rear.
Two consecutive fortifications outside the city were breached, and the Ming army was about to advance to the city, and the fortifications on the city were also destroyed. At such a critical moment, perhaps realizing that the defense would be doomed, the city gate with the urn suddenly opened, and many enemy soldiers
They marched out shouting jihadist slogans.
Those holy soldiers had no time to form a team, and under the guidance of the noble generals, they rushed straight towards the Ming army's siege equipment.
What greeted them were bullets and arrows!
This time, Wu Juyuan could see clearly. He cooperated with the civilians. As soon as they leveled a section of the barrier and before they could evacuate, the defenders in the city rushed out from Wengcheng.
Those enemies were still dozens of steps away from the siege equipment, and they all fell down after being hit by bullets and arrows.
As if they had been brainwashed and not afraid of death, the survivors continued to rush forward. But another round of musket fire finally woke them up. They turned around and ran away screaming in fear. Only a few of them were able to escape back to the barbican.
"Woooooooo~~~~"
Just as the siege equipment was getting closer and closer, a trumpet sound suddenly came from the northwest.
The Ming army was surrounded by three and one was missing. That side was the missing side.
The Kucha soldiers continued to defend the city, but some Dongkara nobles were afraid of death.
This is not the territory of the East Kara Kingdom, they are just here to help. Seeing that the Ming army might attack the city, one of the East Kara nobles took the lead in abandoning the city and fleeing, taking several other nobles with him.
The rumble of horse hoofbeats came from the southwest of Wujuyuan. It was the Ming cavalry dispatched, chasing the enemy's escapees.
"Took it."
Wu Juyuan sat down on the remaining barrier and looked at the city being attacked with a smile.
With his limited knowledge of military affairs, he also understood the consequences of desertions among the defenders.
Within the royal city.
"Your Majesty, several armies of the Black Khanate have fled. They have no intention of fighting to the death here!"
"knew."
Kucha King Kuma wanted to sigh.
He is already old and has become frail and sickly in recent years. He may not live long.
After thinking for a while, he said to the chief prime minister Bayibuhua: "Let the whole army surrender."
But Bayi Buhua said: "Your Majesty, the two armies are already fighting, where can they stop? If you order surrender at this time, the enemy troops will definitely take the opportunity to attack the city, and I am afraid that the generals of the Ming Dynasty will not be able to stop it. They should send envoys first, as they have never been
If we leave the city on the northwest side of the siege, perhaps the envoy can be taken to see the Ming army general."
"Then send envoys out of the city." Kuma Yu sat there feeling helpless.
In fact, he has never had any desire to resist. If he could have made the decision, he would have surrendered from the beginning.
But he couldn't even command the nine prime ministers. Some of those prime ministers were controlled by the East Kara Kingdom, and some were controlled by the Western Liao Kingdom. And most of the clergy in the country were interested in the East Kara Kingdom, and they didn't care about it at all.
Kuma wanted to take it seriously.
Love so much.
The city was becoming more and more chaotic. One after another, the Dongkara nobles abandoned the infantry and fled the city, not caring that the infantry was brought by them during the holy war.
These guys are nothing but common people.
At that time, the Eastern Kara Khanate was so big that even the rebels could not be quelled, so Yelu Dashi took the opportunity to annex it, leaving only a small piece of land for them to serve as a vassal state.
Now they are deceiving the people to engage in jihad, and many people come with hoes and sticks. When the fight actually begins, they abandon the jihadist people and run away.
The Kucha envoy sent by Kuma Yu was captured by the Ming Dynasty's cavalry not far out of the city.
"We are here to contact you for surrender!"
shouted the translator brought by the messenger.
More than a dozen rangers gathered around, looked at each other, and raised their bows and arrows.
Isn’t it nonsense to surrender at this time?
Suddenly, another city gate opened in the west, and countless soldiers rushed out.
Those were the jihadi people who came from Kashgar. At this time, they had thrown away their dung forks, hoes, and wooden sticks. The soldiers who broke through the defensive gates fled towards their hometown.
Chapter completed!
