"The Tartars are coming!"

Some of the more than a hundred people who were fleeing turned around and saw the figure of the Mongolian cavalry, and cursed loudly.

After hearing this, everyone suddenly became more panicked, but they ran towards the city gate with all their strength. However, they were still more than a hundred meters away from the city gate, which made them extremely nervous.

At this time, they were both afraid that the Tatars would catch up with them and that the city gate would suddenly close.

"Are we going to die here?"

Several girls who were on the run could not help but feel worried.

"Close the city gate quickly!"

Su Changyuan, the magistrate of Tongzhou, saw that the sound of the cannon that had just been fired had no deterrent effect. Instead, he saw the Mongolian cavalry rushing towards here, and he shouted in panic.

Lin Haoran looked at the Mongolian cavalry rushing towards here with disappointment, then glanced at Su Changyuan lightly, and then turned his eyes to the city gate again.

Zhang Jun was busy in front of the city gate, with fences placed in the middle of the open space. Although he could not kill the enemy, he could undoubtedly stop the cavalry and at least slow down their charge.

The great thing about cavalry is not only their strong motivation, but also their charging ability. In many battle formations facing cavalry, they are often defeated by the cavalry, thus becoming a rout.

Boom!

There was another loud noise at the top of the city. The Franco machine gun imitated by Zhengde Chao was finally dragged out from the weapons depot, and another lead bullet hit the front in a parabolic trajectory.

What is disappointing is that the cannon had the momentum, but it was not accurate. Not to mention hitting the Mongolian cavalry, it was more than a hundred meters away from the Mongolian cavalry.

"Come on!"

Hamu saw the serious shells in the distance, and saw that the city gate was still not closed, and many people were still outside the city. He already saw the hope of entering the city, whipped his whip and rushed forward.

"Go to the city! Come to the city quickly!"

Zhang Jun set up fences and commanded the people to speak loudly.

He also did not expect that the Mongolian cavalry would come so quickly, nor did he expect that they would really dare to capture the Tongzhou City with a thousand cavalry, but he urged the remaining people.

Shrouded in hope and fear, the people rushed towards the city gate desperately. Although they were still afraid, they felt grateful to the court the moment they stepped into the city gate.

Ta! Ta!

The Mongolian cavalry was really as fast as lightning. They came from the hillside and were about to enter Tongzhou City in the blink of an eye.

"Hold it! Hold it! Hold it fast!"

When Su Changyuan saw the Mongolian cavalry approaching the city, his heart immediately rose to his throat. He no longer cared about the dignity of the civil servants and shouted loudly at the sergeants below.

There is a wide open space in front of the city gate, and there is even a large pier on the right. However, at this time, there are no traces of people, and there are several fences placed in the open space.

This fence is undoubtedly a barrier. There is no need to block the Mongolian cavalry from outside. As long as they slow down, they can gain time to enter the city and close the city gate.

"Go back and prepare to close the city gate!"

Zhang Jun led his sergeants and followed the last group of people back to Tongzhou City.

On the top of the city, the tension was extremely high at this time. Both civil servants and generals were nervously looking at the fence in the open space, hoping to buy enough time for Zhang Jun's retreat.

Enough! It should be enough!

Fan Jian also put aside his hatred towards Lin Haoran, looked at the distance between the two parties, and made a judgment in his heart.

Hamu Batu'er naturally saw the rows of fences in the open space, and even saw the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty protecting the last group of people entering the city, but the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

Why is this!

The people on the top of the city saw that Zhang Jun had led his people into the city in an orderly manner. They saw the dawn of victory. As a result, they looked at the fence with their mouths open, and their hearts immediately went cold.

drive!

Hamu beat the horse so hard with a whip that the horse's skin even showed blood stains, but the horse's speed did not slow down, like a flying horse directly crossing the fence, showing off the strong body of the Mongolian horse.

Although some Mongolian soldiers and their horses were trapped in the fence, more cavalry showed their superb riding skills and did not slow down, crossing the fence and heading straight for the city gate.

"Form up!"

Zhang Jun had already retreated to the city gate with his men. Facing the approaching Mongolian cavalry, he immediately issued an order.

There is a recognized fact in the Ming Dynasty army: the frontier army is the strongest. Although the Dingbian guards are stationed in Tongzhou City all year round, their combat power is much less than before, but after all they belong to the frontier army, but they are stronger than the guard army.

Facing the approaching Mongolian cavalry, the guards might have retreated, but the soldiers of the Dingbian Guards, led by Zhang Jun, had formed a spear formation in an orderly manner.

Of course, their current task is not to fight to the death with the Mongolian army, but to prevent the Mongolian cavalry from returning to the city, so that they have a glimmer of hope in their hearts to make a difference.

Just like this, they all picked up the spears in their hands and formed a dense formation of spears.

Regardless of whether it is ancient or modern, it is impossible for a commander to let his cavalry foolishly attack the opponent's dense spear formation.

Now facing the orderly gun formation of the Ming army, Hamu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, took out the bow and arrow from his back, and fired directly at the gun formation.

"What to do! What to do!"

Su Changyuan saw the Mongolian cavalry coming so fiercely, and saw the people still walking in the cave, but he anxiously slapped the other hand with the back of his hand, and at the same time looked at Lin Haoran nervously.

Lin Haoran watched the situation worsen and felt helpless in his heart. However, at this moment, he could not panic. He only hoped that Zhang Jun could stop these Mongolian soldiers from entering the city gate.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

…

The Mongolian cavalry not only have superb riding skills, but also have first-rate archery skills. Their speed does not slow down, and arrows come from the horses towards the spear array.

The shield was in front, blocking a dozen flying arrows.

"Retreat! Retreat into the city"

Zhang Jun originally did not intend to confront the opponent head-on, so he issued the order.

It was just that the shield finally had a flaw. As the Mongolian cavalry got lower and lower, they were highly skilled on horseback. Some stray arrows were shot into the soldiers in the formation, and blood suddenly poured out.

Zhang Jun led his soldiers back into the cave. The soldiers in front could still maintain their formation, but the soldiers behind suddenly dropped their spears and ran towards the inside.

"Don't run!...It's over!"

Su Changyuan watched the gun formation suddenly disintegrate, and the soldiers behind had fled, and murmured with despair.

Ha ha……
