Chapter 210

Although the war was short, it was very fierce and bloody. The Tartars almost lost nearly a thousand horses, and nearly a thousand people died on the Chinese side.

However, according to the one to three ratio between cavalry and infantry, the Chinese Army undoubtedly has an absolute advantage. The reason is that half of the other party's troops and horses are locked up in the city and basically have no place to play.

Du Du withdrew his troops and inquired about the situation. Qin Huan was also mobilizing troops and tightening the rope to free up more troops.

The camp outside the city of Tartars was torn down, and all the wood was made into horse repellent stakes, which were reinforced with ice and snow and placed outside the city gate to surround the fire gun soldiers in the middle.

Because of the hurry, the Tartars outside the city took away two horses each. There was almost no forage, food and heating materials. The nearby villages and towns were also ruined. For a time, they couldn't even find a pot.

Fortunately, their supplies, grain and grass were stored in Tangyi County for more than 20 miles, and the cavalry arrived in a moment.

Therefore, Du Du and his cavalry roared to the west, and wanted to go to the county to have breakfast, eat and drink enough, and then kill them.

Yue Tuo also cooked meat in a pot in the city, but he didn't want to play with women.

Qin Huan looked at the tartar cavalry running to the West and sneered. He also ordered people to cook meat in a pot. Anyway, there was everything in the tartar camp.

Du Du ran to Tangyi county with his cavalry. He immediately realized that it was wrong. According to reason, when the people in the city saw them coming, they should open the door all the way.

"Ha ha..."

"What are the dog Tartars looking at? Are you looking for this? Here you are, come on, then... "

There was a burst of laughter at the head of the city. Five hundred soldiers twisted the braids on their frozen heads, turned around a few times, threw down the head of the city and hit the front of the tartar cavalry team.

"Ah..."

In this scene, Du Du and the leading cavalry shouted angrily, but three thousand Han soldiers were killed in the camp. Only a few escaped. They didn't even have a pair of ladders. How can they attack the city?

Moreover, the eight flag warriors never did this stupid thing of climbing the top of the city. In addition, they didn't know how many people and horses there were in the city, so they had to scold and go away.

The soldiers and engineers in the city immediately shouted abuse. After all, they had been busy all night. With more than 10000 men rescued, if Tartars dare to attack the city, they will definitely hit their heads and bleed.

But Niu Jinxing and Zhang Yan were greatly relieved. The overwhelming cavalry just now really frightened them.

Zhang Yan looked at the leaving Tartars and said with some worry: "I don't know how the war in the East is."

"Don't worry, my good brother. There are so many cavalry troops coming to the Tartars, which shows that King Hua not only broke the Tartars' camp, but also really surrounded the Dongchang palace city. This battle is definitely going to win!"

Niu Jinxing touched her beard and smiled. Obviously, she was still a little level. She wanted to call Mrs. Zhang Yan, but she was afraid that she was wrong, so she simply pretended not to know.

Zhang Yan turned her head and ignored him. Obviously, she was very disgusted with this old Taoist who was talented and did not serve the imperial court, but devoted herself to anti thief.

If Niu Jinxing knew what she thought, he would swear to heaven that heaven and earth had a conscience. If he could be admitted to a scholar, he wouldn't play tricks and finally rebel from the thief.

……

Yue Tuo heard that Du Du had returned with his cavalry and knocked over a pot of freshly cooked meat. He immediately came to the city.

"Damn it, was Tangyi County attacked by the other party? Where on earth did the Ming army come from? "

Yue Tuo was so anxious that he jumped straight and said carelessly.

Du Du outside the city was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. Although he could kill horses and roast meat, he couldn't be hungry, as soon as it was dark, these 10000 people and horses had to freeze to death. They all regretted burning all the nearby villages and towns.

Besides, people can eat horse meat. What do horses eat?

In this ice and snow, the horse's mouth is torn, and it may not be able to scrape a handful of grass.

Both Dudu and yuetuo knew that they had to attack immediately and decide the outcome before noon, otherwise Dudu's 7000 cavalry had to go to other places to look for forage and places to spend the night.

The Chinese army had already finished breakfast and was ready. Obviously, King Qin also knew that after the other party went to Tangyi County, he would definitely knock back immediately.

He is waiting for the Tartars to fight.

It was also the east gate. In the first wave, Du Du sent two thousand cavalry to rush into the array. It was a real cavalry to rush into the array, not a wandering shot.

The horse repellent stake was added, so Qin Huan could deploy more troops to reinforce.

Similarly, with a thousand cavalry, the soldiers and horses had more courage to mobilize. As for the female soldiers, Qin Huan would not let them go unless they had to.

For a time, there were fierce shouts, screams and horse hoofs near the east gate.

Both sides killed red eyes. Yuetuo even set up a long ladder on the wall and asked the cavalry to get off the horse and rush down with a knife to help the battle.

Looking at a white armour soldier who was a good horseman and fell under the other party's long gun, yuetuo wanted to overthrow the damn city wall at this moment.

The eight banners have never fought such a cowardly battle, but they have to send more cavalry to reinforce them.

From the morning until noon, both sides suffered heavy losses. Seeing that the other side's fire gun soldiers were always nailed outside the East Gate like nails, after losing 3000 cavalry, Du Du finally took the remaining 4000 cavalry away.

Don't forget to send someone to rush under the wall to inform yuetuo. Don't be afraid. Stick to it for three days until he goes to Dourgen to borrow some soldiers, horses, food and grass.

In the war just now, yuetuo also filled in nearly 2000 dismounted cavalry. His heart was like a knife. Du Du didn't go. He also planned to let Du Du move the rescue soldiers. At this time, it was no longer important to lose face, so he didn't say anything, but locked up the horses and prepared to defend the city.

Although I've never guarded the city, I haven't eaten pork. Haven't I seen a pig run? It's just to move some stones and wood, smash them when the other party attacks the city, burn some dung in a pot and pour it down.

However, in order to be cautious, he called all the big gentry and asked them to point out whether there was any secret to guarding the city?

Qin Huan was not going to help, because they also lost more than 4000 people in the morning's war, which added up to more than 5000.

If the other party had another 10000 cavalry, he had to withdraw his troops and go back to the camp, otherwise he would have to take off his skin like this.

So he immediately sent someone to Tangyi county to send 3000 carpenters. All the soldiers went to cut trees. The cavalry guarded the periphery and the female soldiers guarded the vicinity. The fire gun soldiers blocked the door in turn and the infantry went to bed. They planned to attack the city tomorrow.

Tartar's cavalry are fierce in the field, but now he is locked in a cage and forced to fight a city defense. He doesn't believe it and can't kill them.

An hour later, three thousand carpenters came here in a simple manner, and the things didn't fall. Obviously, the Tartars wouldn't rob their saws and planes, and told them to take them with them.

When the carpenters heard that the Tartars were trapped in the city, they were full of energy and threatened to burn the midnight oil and try to build more ladders.

As a result, hundreds of rough and simple siege ladders were built in just one night.

This made Yue Tuo, who got up the next day and came to the city to check, greatly changed his face and asked what it was?

Although the gentry in the city didn't see the ladder, they couldn't stand it. They read a lot. They immediately guessed that it was the legendary ladder to attack the city.

But secretly rejoiced in his heart and called for salvation.

Until this time, both Yue Tuo and the people in the city only thought that the Ming army was outside the city.
