Chapter 155 Retreat the enemy

The setting sun is like blood, and the grass and trees on the hillside are red. It is stained with the blood of the Tartars.

Dong Huli was like a gambler who was so angry that he always thought that the people who were withdrawing the troops would die in vain at this time, so he kept increasing his digits and increasing his digits!

In order to regain his strength, he transferred Changtu from the middle and ordered him to lead his troops to continue to launch a fierce attack on the right!

"Roar, kill! Rush up the wall to admire a cow, a Han girl!" Changba took off his outer robe, waved his scimitar, and screamed strangely, leading the Urianha warriors over the wounded soldiers on the ground and launched countless attacks on the side wall of the dead.

This time, there was no "swalking" rain of arrows. The sporadic arrows and stones of the Ming army could not stop the pace of the elite Urianha. In addition to the bare-spoken long-spoken, they were all wearing leather armor, leather helmets, and holding leather shields in their hands. They could well withstand ordinary bows and arrows and even leads of muskets.

Subahai and Bahua, who were killed and injured by the troops, couldn't help but curse. Dong Fox, the old fox, deliberately consumed our strength and then picked peaches!

But this is not the time to worry about it, so it’s important to attack the side wall as soon as possible!

So they made a loud order, shouting their troops to shoot at the wall, and suppressing the Ming army with dense rain of arrows.

The Ming army on the side wall was suppressed under the cliff and could not raise their heads at all. I don’t know what happened to the enemy tower on both sides, but they were still silent at the same time...

The bald man led the way, rushed to the top of the hill with no chance, exerted force with both legs, and jumped onto the wall!

The Ming army behind the arrow pile was shocked. Before he could swing the three-eyed gun, he waved his sword and killed several of them in a row like chopping melons and vegetables.

The morale of the Urianha warriors was greatly boosted, as if they were injected with chicken blood. They all jumped onto the wall and slashed at the Ming army.

The Ming army was about to collapse at the touch, and they jumped off the wall and fled...

In a blink of an eye, this side wall was already full of Urianha warriors!

They held a scimitar in one hand and a leather shield in the other, cheering and celebrating victory...

"A group of idiots, haven't won yet!" Dong Huli cursed, but his eyes were full of pampering. Such a brave man is truly his younger brother.

This time he really told me, it's not over yet...

Dong Huli suddenly saw two fire dragons spewing out from both sides almost at the same time, covering the entire side wall in a blink of an eye.

The Urianha people who were celebrating immediately turned into firemen and fell to the wall screaming.

The swarms in the enemy building were indeed used up, but there was also a hot oil cabinet...

This was restored by Qi Jiguang based on "The General Yao of Wu Jing", and also borrowed from the drainage king invented by Zhang Jian, allowing the fire snake to spray seven or eight meters away. It can be said to be the enhanced version of the powerful ignition oil cabinet.

It uses the "stone fat turbid oil" produced in Gaonu County, Shanxi Province as fuel, uses cooked copper as a cabinet, with four legs at the bottom and a horizontal pump with a pressing rod on it, which is connected to the oil cabinet. Each time it is pressed, it can extract about three kilograms of turbid oil and spray it out!

When the turmeric oil ignites when it encounters fire, the flames emitted are like fire dragons. Because the enemy building is more than one meter higher than the side wall, the fire dragons are two or three meters longer than the flat ground. The volleys on both sides cover the twenty-meter-long side wall...

Looking at the warriors who were still showing off their power just now, they turned into firemen and fell down. The Urianha people under the side wall rushed forward to rescue. They took off their robes and slapped them, untied the water bag and poured them on the firemen. However, the fire was burning more and more vigorously, and even caused the rescuers to burn their bodies.

After seeing this, the Mongols from other tribes around him dropped their weapons and knelt down devoutly.

"Is this going to surrender?" Tong Ziji was stunned at the fortress.

"No." Qi Jiguang smiled faintly and said, "They believe in the shamanism worshipped by nature. The first worship of this religion is fire. They believe that fire comes from heaven and is part of the sun and moon. It is the most holy and pure, and can wash away all filth and drive away the devil. Therefore, they cannot be enemies with fire, otherwise they will offend the God of Fire and will not ignite the fire in the future."

"No wonder the commander has worked so hard to get tincture oil from Shaanxi." Tong Zigong suddenly said: "It turns out that they know that they are most afraid of this. The commander really knows everything!"

"For the generals, you should know yourself and your enemy, and you should also understand astronomy and geography a little more." Qi Jiguang held a smile on his lips and said, "It should be here today."

The sun had set, and only the afterglow illuminated the sky. Dong Huli had no intention of fighting, and soon blew up the horn to withdraw his troops.

In the dusk, he stood coldly on the hillside, staring blankly at the defeated soldiers and defeated generals.

Dong Huli knew very well that although his main force was still there, the Mongols were no longer the invincible army that swept the world when Genghis Khan. It was more appropriate to say that it was a group of bandits. Today, one-tenth of the troops was lost, and the morale was extremely low. The leaders of various departments did not make do with him. They were obviously very dissatisfied with him and had a passive attempt to disobey.

On the other hand, the Ming army suffered very little damage today and its morale rose sharply. It would definitely reload those swarms overnight, and some spitting out trains... Our side's spirit was already devastated. Even if we can fight again tomorrow, we may not gain anything other than losing troops and losing generals.

But if the troops withdraw like this, how can we survive this winter? The tribes regard him as their leader because he can take them to make a living. If he cannot support them, they will go east to Altan, or go to Qinghai to find the Weila people further west, and will never stay and wait for death.

My great-grandfather finally annexed the tribes of Wengniute and Wuqiyete, and my grandfather unified the Korqin grassland. Is the huge family business going to be defeated by him? Dong Huli really couldn't accept this result.

"Second uncle, my third uncle is still alive!" His eldest nephew Chang'ang found Changtu from the defeated soldiers.

Dong Huli came to his senses and quickly went down the hillside. He saw a stretcher with a modified sub-car board behind Chang'ang. On the stretcher was a bald, three-quarters-old bald one.

I saw that the hair on my body was burned out, my whole body was black and red, and only my chest was slightly ups and downs, which showed that he was still alive.

"Second, second?" Dong Huli called him a few times, but Changba didn't respond, so he waved his hand and asked someone to lift it down and ask the Mongolian doctor to show him.

"Uncle, what should I do? Will I still attack tomorrow?" Chang'ang asked timidly. His father died at the foot of the Great Wall four years ago, and now the third uncle has basically explained it again. This made him feel sincerely afraid of the wall and the Ming army guarding the wall.

"Attack for another day!" Dong Huli gritted his teeth. Although the possibility of breaking through the border wall was slim, he had to fight for it... Of course, more importantly, he had to consume more troops from Wengniut and Wuqiyete's troops. In this way, even if he returned home in a desperate situation, they would not dare to be ungrateful.

So under his insistence, the next day, the Mongols regrouped and launched an attack on the side wall.

But Subahai and Bahua were not stupid. Seeing that Uryanha's headquarters did not move, they only allowed their two units to attack the city. The two knew that Dong Huli was not at ease. So they instructed their subordinates to work but not work hard. Dong Huli sent someone to urge them, and they said that the troops were too tired. They rushed on their way for many days and changed the place where they attacked the city. After fighting for a day, they finally came up...

The so-called law does not blame the public. Seeing these guys forming an offensive and defensive alliance, Dong Huli could do nothing.

As a result, the intensity of the battle was completely incomparable to yesterday. After fighting for most of the day, hundreds of people died in the siege...

The Ming army guarding the city did not even sweat, and the prepared swarms and hot oil cabinets were not used.

Dong Huli really couldn't stand this monkey show, and the sun was still high, so he hadtily ordered the troops to withdraw.

Then he asked someone to call Subahai, Bahua and others to his tent, and after a secret discussion, he decided to withdraw his troops tomorrow and go back to fight against the Han people in Liaodong. If it really doesn't work, there are still girls. Although they are poorer, mosquito legs are also fleshy.

In short, with Qi Jiguang in Ji Town now, it is too hard to touch the iron head.

So the next day, they threw away the siege equipment, took out their carriages to load the wounded number, and retreated north along the original road.

The Mongols did not withdraw their troops overnight this time, and they were not afraid of the Ming army's pursuit. They even wanted to come out of the fortress to pursue the troops, so they could eat them in one bite and vent their hatred.

Because the last time they lost to the Ming army in the field was dated back more than a hundred years ago.

This generation of Mongolians had a deep-rooted concept, that is, the Ming army would only shrink into the castle and set firearms, and did not dare to go out of the city to fight with them. There were generals of the Ming army who did not believe in evil and insisted on fighting with them in the field, but without exception, all the troops were wiped out.

So they retreated swaggeringly, as if they were telling the Ming army in the fortress to chase them out quickly, come on, be happy...

After being so despised by the Tartars, Tong Ziji couldn't help but look as if she was ashen, and the joy of defending victory disappeared. Because he really didn't dare to chase him out, he just wanted to deliver vegetables by going out by his subordinates.

Qi Jiguang patted his shoulder and comforted Tong Ziji who was gritting his teeth and said, "You have completed the task beautifully, and it depends on Lao Hu and Jimei and others."

"Yes." Tong Ziji nodded, his heart's aggrievance slightly reduced.

Seeing that the Ming army had no intention of pursuing it, Dong Huli was relieved to lead his troops to retreat north for more than ten miles.

At noon, the team arrived at the Changhe Valley. He was preparing to join the troops who were feinting Xifengkou, Dongjiakou and Qingshankou, and retreated to Kuancheng along the Changhe River. There was an abandoned guard house of the Ming army. After occupying it, he converted it into Cangcheng, preparing to temporarily store the food and materials plundered from the Ming Dynasty.

This way you can grab a few more trips, so as to avoid the fact that you are like a blind bear who is breaking corn and can't bring back much things in a busy meal.

So he left a few subordinates and supplies in Kuancheng. Now that the robbery is not enough, he can go and rest and make plans for him.

‘Oh, there are so few leaders like me who are considerate on the grassland…’ Dong Huli first praised himself, and then secretly complained about God’s unfairness. Why should I leave a good place like Hetao to the second guy?

While I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard a rush of horse hooves coming from afar.

"Report to Taiji, it's not good!" A scout who was exploring the way forward reported immediately with a panic expression: "Our way is stopped by the Ming army!"

"What?" Dong Huli was surprised: "What are they doing?"

Then he asked, "How many people? Where to stop them?"

"Just at the mouth of the river valley, there were people everywhere, afraid that there would be tens of thousands of people..." The scouts' voices trembled.
