The Hou Jin army attacked again, and the Ming army fired arrows from the top of the wall. However, the Hou Jin army had already prepared and raised their shields to block the arrows and moved closer to the earthen wall.

After losing several people, the Hou Jin army finally arrived at the earth wall. They raised their shields high and dug into the roots of the earth wall with their swords.

The earthen wall was already severely weathered, and with just a little force, a large piece of wall earth could be shoveled off with a knife. Even though the Ming army tried their best to interfere with their efforts with arrows, the last section of the earthen wall was still dug down.

The earth wall collapsed and dust filled the air. The Hou Jin army crowded in the gap and wanted to get in. Suddenly, the sound of horses neighing came from the fort. Li Yi led a dozen cavalrymen and rushed out of the gap. The Hou Jin army led by General Li Yi

He was hit so hard that he vomited blood.

Waving the tiger fang gun, Li Yi picked off three Hou Jin soldiers and led the cavalry to rush out. Before the dizzy Hou Jin army could react, the Ming army behind them formed their military formations and rushed forward.

The Jin army fell to the ground.

Li Yi and others rushed out of the earthen wall, slaughtered the Houjin army around the earthen wall, and after killing them back, they returned to Wubao.

This time after 500, the Jin army suffered serious losses. More than fifty people were killed and half of them were injured, while the Ming army only suffered a few casualties.

Saharian's face was a little solemn. He originally thought that the two hundred Ming troops would be able to solve it quickly, but he didn't expect that the two waves of attacks not only failed to achieve anything, but also suffered a lot of losses.

"Send eight hundred men to capture Wubao no matter what this time." Sahalian ordered.

Eight hundred years later, the Jin army rushed directly to the gap. This time they were prepared early, and the front group held anti-horse rifles to resist the attack of the Ming army's cavalry.

When they arrived at the gap, they were met with a wave of bows and arrows. The Eight Banners troops armed with their horses screamed and fell to the ground. The people behind them quickly covered themselves with shields and rushed directly into the gap.

On the other side of the gap, the Ming army was waiting in full formation. When they saw the Jin army coming in, they immediately attacked them.

The Ming army and the Hou Jin army met each other in a narrow gap, surrounded each other, and fought with all their strength, with blood and flesh flying everywhere.

Li Yi stood at the front with a waist knife in his hand. He had four or five stab wounds on his body, but he did not retreat. The knife penetrated the chest of a Hou Jin soldier, and directly pushed the body backwards.

He was extremely powerful and made a sudden attack. The entire Jin army was caught off guard and retreated one after another.

At this time, Li Yi shouted loudly: "Liu Zhi, it's now."

The Ming army at the gap quickly retreated, and the Jin army was unable to stop them for a while. They rushed towards the gap and rushed into the Wubao.

When they rushed in, they happened to see two squatting tiger cannons set up not far away. Now they were all set up and lined up, with the black muzzles pointed at them.

This squatting tiger cannon is a small cannon commonly equipped in the Ming army. The cannon body weighs only a few dozen kilograms and has an effective lethality of 20 to 30 steps. There are no large shells inside. They are all small lead pellets. Lead pellets

If the cannon is larger, fifty lead pellets can be filled in the cannon; if the lead pellets are smaller, the cannon can be filled with hundreds of lead pellets. It can even be filled with porcelain flakes, stones and other objects.

Today's Tiger Crouching Cannon has already been filled with powder. After feeding in the powder and gunpowder, it is filled with a little soil, and then a layer of lead and iron is put in. It is solidified with soil, and then filled with nearly a hundred lead pellets and stones.

Consolidate these lead shots and spread them to the muzzle.

Liu Zhi looked at the Hou Jin army pouring in, with a cruel smile on his face, and shouted: "Let go..."

After hearing the order to prepare, the gunners lit the powder line, and there was a loud noise. Thick firelight and smoke rose from the dock. The lead pellets and stones fired by the Tiger Crouching Cannon were like falling meteors, smashing the Houjin in the gap.

The army was instantly enveloped, and the Houjin Army in the front row was directly penetrated by the projectiles. Their bodies were covered with large holes swept by the projectiles. Some people were not dead for a while, but rolled to the ground and screamed miserably.

The Hou Jin army behind them was also beaten by sudden projectiles and screamed again and again. Every wound was bloody and bloody, and it looked like they would not survive for long.

At this time, the people behind did not know what happened, so they continued to rush inside. At this time, another tiger crouching cannon roared and fired. The dense projectiles directly disabled the group of rear Jin soldiers. Only then did the people behind understand what happened.

, heartbroken, they turned back and fled backwards, screaming wildly.

When Saha Lian saw the Hou Jin army attacking Wubao, he thought he was sure of victory. Unexpectedly, two cannon shots were heard from Wubao. After a while, the Hou Jin army, which had just regained its high morale, fled back in a hurry. With only a few people,

There were more than a hundred men missing. Including the previous losses, the number of his men in front of this small fort was reduced by two hundred, and they were already half a cow. His face couldn't help but twitch.

The personal guard beside him whispered: "The warriors have suffered too many casualties. It is better to find a way to deal with this group of Ming troops before attacking."

Saharian frowned and glanced at his personal guards, and shouted: "Send the order, beat the drum, let the soldiers attack the city with all their strength!"

The sound of the war drums played by the Hou Jin army was earth-shattering. Those who fled back were still in shock and were urged to continue the attack. They were also desperate, shouting loudly and charging forward, followed by some infantry and horse armor soldiers.

Although they cleverly dug down other earth walls, Li Yi had already taken precautions and mobilized the Crouching Tiger Artillery to guard them tightly every time. Once the Jin army rushed in, they would be greeted by a wave of shotguns.

Attack, and then while the Hou Jin army was frightened by the shells, Li Yi led the Ming army to cover up the attack and drove them out of Wubao. With such fighting, the Hou Jin army suffered more and more casualties.

The army also suffered losses.

Liu Zhi led a group of Ming troops with superb archery skills to climb onto the earth wall and kept shooting at the Hou Jin army outside the earth wall with bows and arrows. Those Hou Jin army who wanted to form a ladder to charge were screamed and shot down one by one.

land.

As the gap became larger and larger, the Ming army began to lack manpower. Later, the Jin army reinforced some people to attack from the gap in the west, and the situation in Wubao became increasingly critical.

Li Yi constantly mobilized manpower to block the Hou Jin Army's offensive. Fortunately, the Tiger Crouching Cannon was powerful. After paying the price of half of the men, he finally repelled the Hou Jin Army's offensive.

After several successive attacks failed to take down the simple dock in front of him, Saharian was furious. He swung his whip on the leader Qian and ordered his guards to prepare for the next attack to completely capture the dock in front of him.

.

On the other side, looking at the Ming army that suffered heavy casualties, Li Yi had no choice. He could only retreat until Zu Dale and Wang Zhi defeated Tabai.

Just when Li Yi was thinking about how to repel the Hou Jin army in the next wave, Wang Wu fell down from the earth wall.

Seeing him coming in, Li Yi quickly asked: "Is the war over?"

Wang Wu nodded.

Liu Zhi on the side heard this and said happily: "Zu Dale and Wang Zhi are really good at choosing the right moment. Our side is almost unable to hold on, and they will win."

Li Yi looked at Wang Wu's downcast expression, his heart skipped a beat, and asked, "Did he win?"

Wang Wu shook his head and said: "We were defeated. Tabai defeated Zu Dalue's left wing. Zu Dalue was worried that the entire army would be wiped out, so he retreated to Daling River City."

"What, defeated?" Liu Zhi couldn't believe it, and said angrily: "Their military strength is stronger than that of Tabai, how could they be defeated?"

Wang Wu shook his head and said he didn't know.

When the Ming troops next to them heard that Zu Dale had been defeated, they all became depressed, and their originally high morale was completely gone.

Li Yi sighed, they were fighting to the death here so that Zu Dale could defeat Tabai. Now that he has lost, there is no point in blocking Houjin's reinforcements by himself.

Hou Jin's next wave of offensive could start at any time. Li Yi no longer hesitated and asked everyone to prepare to retreat.

Just when Saha Lian asked the most powerful guards to prepare to capture Wubao, groups of Ming army cavalry rushed out of Wubao, and after being thrown away, the Jin army rushed towards the direction of Daling River City.

The Hou Jin army did not expect that the Ming army would suddenly retreat, and in their haste, they had no time to stop them.

The personal guards around Sahanian saw this and said, "Master Beile, I will lead my troops to chase you."

Saharian shook his head and said: "Stop chasing. Since the Ming army has retreated, the victory between Tabai and the Ming army has been decided. We should hurry up and hurry up."

In Dalinghe City, Wang Zhi climbed onto the city wall with bloodstains all over his body. He walked angrily to Zu Dale and said sternly: "Zu Dale, what on earth is going on? How come the left wing infantry was defeated?"

Zu Dale suffered a defeat and said with a heavy heart: "Tabai led the elite Yala soldiers to sneak attack the left-wing infantry. The left-wing infantry hurriedly responded and was defeated."

"You and I join forces to fight. Hou Jin still has elite cavalry. Why didn't you make preparations in advance?" Wang Zhi asked.

"I saw that there were cavalry in Tabai's front army to fight, and I thought he had no more cavalry in his hands. But I didn't expect that it was just a cover, and he left all the cavalry behind."

"Haha, you are really good at planning. You don't even know the situation of the battle, but you dare to expose such a big flaw to Tabai. I think you are overconfident." Wang Zhi said angrily.

Zu Dale was not a kind person either. He glared and said sternly: "Wang Zhi, you are a little little boss, how dare you insult Shangguan? I think you don't want to live anymore?"

Wang Zhi was not afraid and sneered: "What a waste are you? If you can cut off Tabai's head, I will kill myself in front of you. If not, I'd better think of how to explain it to the Lord."

"Huh, I will explain it naturally." Zu Dale did not give in, "But this time it is you and our coalition forces who are in trouble in the battle, and you can't get rid of it?"

Wang Zhi heard this and cursed loudly: "You bastard, you actually want to drag me into the water. This battlefield is under your command. It's because of your poor command. What does it have to do with me?"

At this time, Mr. Han Qian came up and said with a smile: "You two, please stop arguing. The Donglu army has not left yet. I have to ask you two adults to arrange what happens next."

After Mr. Han Qian broke up the fight, Wang Zhi and Zu Dale also got off the slope and calmed down.

"No matter what happens this time, we are indeed defeated. Let's not talk about the imperial court, but Marshal Zu and the ministers can't explain it." Wang Zhicui said dejectedly.

Zu Dale also frowned and said: "Damn it, I thought it was a good job, but I didn't expect it to fall into my hands."

"What should we do now?" Wang Zhi asked.

Zu Dale looked at the arrogant Tabai outside the city and suddenly said: "Mr. Wang Qian, what was the order given to us by the lord of the department when we came this time?"

Wang Zhi didn't understand what Zu Dale said for a while, and said: "Let us break the siege of Daling River City."

Zu Dale laughed and said: "Yes, we are here just to relieve the siege. Although we were defeated this time, Tabai did not have enough troops to attack the city. I think the siege of Daling River City has been solved. What do you think?

Isn’t that right?”

Looking at Zu Dale with a smile on his face, Wang Zhi's expression was dull. This was so damn shameless.

Although he obviously lost the battle, he not only did not regret and make up for it, but he could actually say that he had made a meritorious service.
