Chapter 138 Falling Trees
Wang Ruxiao and Luo Xihan expected that the Pigeon Cave could withstand an hour, waiting for their rescue, but the reality was that the Pigeon Cave was like paper in the face of absolute strength. Like a paste.
After a force of ten thousand households led by Zamusu withstood the few rounds of artillery fire from Pigeon Cave, the two sides fell into hand-to-hand combat.
Zhamusu's soldiers climbed up the city on ladders and bravely climbed to the top of the city. Although the Ming army soldiers guarding Pigeon Cave resisted tenaciously, they could not bear the influx of enemies like a tide.
It was originally an extremely difficult battle. However, due to insufficient firepower and insufficient troops in Pigeon Cave, it only lasted for half an hour. Hundreds of soldiers on Pigeon Cave were defeated. One-sided harvest.
Jamusu, who climbed onto the Pigeon Cave Great Wall, ordered his people to open the Great Wall pass. An Da and Yingke led the army into the suburbs of Beijing within the Great Wall.
Ada laughed loudly and said: "Since the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is unwilling to trade with Ben Khan, then Ben Khan will come to him personally to talk to see what his attitude is now?"
Ada led the army with great arrogance and prepared to head towards the capital.
After Zamusu and Yingke heard An Da’s laughter, they both worshiped: "The Great Khan is mighty! This time we will definitely be able to go south to capture the dragon and restore the Great Yuan Dynasty!"
When An Da heard this, he felt very proud. Although restoring the Yuan Dynasty was a bit of a dream, capturing the dragon was still possible.
Nada waved his hand in high spirits, "All troops advance! Target Shixia Camp!"
Shixia Camp is the temporary garrison location agreed upon by Nanda and Yingke, but to get here, you still need to cross Huangyu. ditch, so time is tight and they cannot stay here for too long.
Because they all knew that reinforcements from the Ming army would arrive here soon, and they would be surrounded by fierce battles in this small pass, which was not conducive to the cavalry operations of Anda's unit.
So now they have to pass through the Pigeon Cave as quickly as possible, and then arrive at the relatively open Shixiaying area. After arriving there, the mountains will become less and less, and the cavalry can take advantage of it. Otherwise, in this mountain pass and canyon Among them, even though Anda's cavalry were invincible, they were unable to perform due to the terrain.
Once the Ming army bites its tail again, although it will not be defeated, it will still feel very unpleasant.
Although everyone is good at fighting, after all, the grassland population is sparse, and they cannot afford to fight a war of attrition against the huge Ming Dynasty.
And this time they made a surprise attack. If they want to achieve greater results, they must do it quickly without any delay.
Otherwise, when Ming Dynasty urgently mobilizes troops from various places to the capital to fight with them, the final result may be to close the door and beat the dogs.
So An Da also knew in his heart that going south to capture the dragon and restoring the Great Yuan were just words.
We still need to seize the opportunity in the capital as soon as possible and force the Ming Emperor to open the market. That will be the final victory!
The army, led by the three guards of Yingkeduoyan, headed towards Shixiaying, and their leading troops soon arrived near Huangyugou.
Zhu Zaijing stood on the mountain peak in the dark night, looking at the Anda army that meandered for dozens of miles with no end in sight, and he couldn't help but be so nervous that his palms became sweaty.
There are really too many enemy troops who invaded this time, but the garrison strength of the imperial court is only 40,000 to 50,000 young and old soldiers. The real soldiers who are good at fighting are either on the front line of Xuanda or on the front line. On the Liaodong front line.
So to count on these 40,000 to 50,000 troops to deal with the more than 100,000 invading troops, only by relying on the siege of the capital with high walls and solid cities can it be possible to persist until the arrival of Qinwang troops from various places.
But if this is the case, all the people in the suburbs of Beijing will become abandoned children, and even the imperial mausoleum in Changping will not be spared.
Therefore, Zhu Zaijing had no choice but to use his limited power to block the progress of Anda's army, so that they could not ravage the suburbs of Beijing, massacre the people, and plunder the imperial tombs as they did in history!
Looking at the enemy troops who were almost halfway into Huangyugou, Zhu Zaijing's nervousness could not help but become tense again.
This was his first time to experience war at such a close range. Although he was very nervous, he was also very excited and seemed to be looking forward to the moment when the war started.
And such a bellicose mood may be because Zhu Zaijing has never seen blood or suffered the pain of war, which is why he is excited.
Once Zhu Zaijing has personally experienced the cruelty of a war and experienced the crisis between life and death, he may transform and mature again. Know how cruel and unkind war is.
But sometimes even a cruel and unkind war has to be fought.
Because war is not just about victory or defeat, but about interests and survival!
When faced with huge interests, when all means fail, war is naturally an inevitable option.
Similarly, when faced with a life-and-death crisis, war is inevitable even if it is launched unkindly.
Therefore, at this moment, whether it was An Da who invaded or Zhu Zaijing who was hiding on the mountain, they all had reasons to fight.
Zhu Zaijing whispered to the guards around him: "Prepare to fire the command arrow!"
The guards raised the sounding arrows that had been prepared long ago, and waited for Zhu Zaijing With a single command, the fuse was lit and launched into the air, turning into a brilliant fireworks with a harsh whistle.
"Your Majesty, we are ready!"
Zhu Zaijing glanced at the enemy troops below again. He took a deep breath, and his eyes suddenly became cold, "Let go!"
The personal guard immediately lit the fire, and a command arrow like a flying monkey instantly rose into the air, with a harsh whistle, dragging a long golden tail, and rushed into the dark sky.
After a few breaths, it exploded in the air at an unknown height, revealing its final splendor.
At the same time, the soldiers on the peaks on both sides of Huangyugou who saw the arrows also raised their sharp blades and cut off the ropes holding the rolling stones and logs without hesitation!
During the rumbling, countless falling rocks and rolling logs were like thunder falling from the sky, rumbling towards the bottom.
The Duoyan cavalrymen, who originally thought everything was safe, suddenly became panicked. They pulled the reins of their horses and began to try to get out of the dangerous situation in Huangyugou as soon as possible regardless of the darkness of the night.
But how can the narrow Huangyu Valley be so easy to break through?
So for a while, with the ruthless falling of rocks and rolling trees, there were also miserable screams in Huangyugou.
Nada, who was still in the central position, heard the movement in front and couldn't help but feel nervous. He never expected that he would be ambushed here.
Has the Ming army already guessed their intention to march, or is Ying Ke lying to him?
But the forwards attacked at this moment were all Yingke's Doyan Guards Cavalry, so at this moment Nada also calmed down instantly and contained his panic.
"The enemy is on the mountain peaks on both sides. Quickly go up the mountain to kill the enemy and clear the obstacle of Huangyugou for our army!"
Ida immediately ordered a troop to attack the mountains on both sides of Huangyugou. go.
At this time, Zhu Zaijing and the others had finished placing the rolling stones and logs. The men and horses on both sides did not hesitate at all and immediately retreated down the mountain according to the original plan.
Just after Zhu Zaijing, Teng Xiang and others came down from the mountain peak, Zhu Zaijing sent out another command arrow, and suddenly there were flames!
Zhu Zaijing, who had already descended the mountain, showed no mercy and directly set fire to the mountain. The enemy troops who were chasing him from the other side of the mountain were roasted as suckling pigs.
Then Zhu Zaijing and Teng Xiang met together with the 1,500 people responsible for the response. Then they mounted their horses and retreated along the reserved safe route. While retreating, they also moved the reserved safe route. The remaining mines were laid on top.
