Chapter 201 Reinforcement
Whether it was the Guangnan soldiers in the village building or the Guangnan soldiers under the village, they rushed to the Ming army desperately, and the Ming soldiers did not stop these Guangnan soldiers at this time.
The flag officer looked at the Guangnan soldiers rushing up coldly, then looked at the only seven or eight Ming soldiers left beside him, raised their torches and smashed them hard on the ground.
In an instant, an orange-red fire dragon surged up on the village.
The huge fire waves were clearly visible to the Ming army officers and soldiers from miles away.
"No, the foreigners attacked the camp at night." Li Liuan, who was in the front, shouted, "I'm not good."
Not only did the Ming army attack at night, but these real larks also did.
"English army, hurry up and rush to help Qianhai camp." Li Liu shouted.
The Ming army naturally saw the huge fire and accelerated its pace.
"It's too late." After walking for a while, Lin Xu looked at the city walled city that was looming under the firelight and shook his head.
"Is it possible that we have to give up the thousands of Han people and Ming soldiers in the camp?" Li Liu said angrily.
"It's not that we give up, but that we can't save them even if we rush to go now." Lin Xu pointed to the hill not far away.
"Let the artillery pull the carriage and send the artillery to the hills within a quarter of an hour." Lin Xu said.
The artillery and sailors took action one after another, driving the livestock and pulling carriages to the hills.
"Why do you need to place artillery on the hill? Didn't you see that Qianhai Camp has burned?" Li Liu pulled the guide and asked if the camp was still two or three miles away from here. He walked over angrily and pointed at Lin Xu and questioned.
"Li Liu, I'll order you to find matches and other items immediately to pile them under the hills later." Lin Xu ignored Li Liu's questioning, but instead ordered Li Liu to find flammable dry firewood immediately.
"You." Li Liu wanted to say something, but was pulled away by the soldiers on the side.
Among the city walls, thousands of Han people and the village soldiers silently watched the raging fires lit up at the Xizhai Gate.
Several firemen screamed and jumped off the high village wall.
At the village, some Guangnan soldiers were burned by gunpowder from the village, and their vine armor and vine shields rolled on the ground.
The companions who were shocked were retreating repeatedly.
"Hahaha, it's burning well!" Looking at the Xizhai Gate where the fire was raging, Li Shi laughed out loud.
This time the fire was not the foreign soldiers, but the isolated Ming soldiers fighting on the wall of the village.
But no matter which side is on the fire, the people on the walled city will not survive.
"General!" A co-master couldn't stand it and said angrily.
"Come on, sprinkle gunpowder and tinea oil on the cart and then pile up dry firewood." Li Shi pointed to the blocked lane that was blocking in front of the foreign soldiers.
Several generals and deputy generals from Qianhai Camp understood and ordered the soldiers to find gunpowder, tinea oil and dry firewood.
Taking advantage of the fire that hindered the attack of Guangnan soldiers, the officers and soldiers of Qianhai Camp and the people in the village took action to pile up the remaining gunpowder and tinder oil in the village to block the trunk.
Several torches were thrown onto the blocked train, and the blocked train instantly became a train.
Seven or eight Ming soldiers pushed several blocked trains forward.
The Guangnan soldiers who rushed into the city were frightened to death when they saw the blocked train rushing over and ran out.
No matter how fierce they are, they dare not use their flesh and blood to hit the train.
"So what's wrong?" Li Youcheng looked at the raging fires ignited in the village and the large number of Guangnan soldiers fleeing abroad, and his whole body was trembling with anger.
"If you dare to retreat and shake the army, you will kill me." Li Youcheng shouted at the chaotic army in front of him.
Dozens of elite horse soldiers rushed over.
Several cold lights flashed by, and a few bloody heads flew out.
Several Guangnan soldiers running in the front suddenly stiffened, and they ran a few more steps forward, and then fell down together.
A few heads rolled into the mud not far from them.
The cavalry's collision and the neighing sound of war horses really shocked the panicked soldiers.
"Go back to me." Li Youcheng personally led his troops. He was wearing armor and riding on a horse, holding a spear, looking coldly at the Guangnan soldiers in front of him.
Under the spur of dozens of cavalry, the Guangnan army finally stabilized its position.
At this time, Xizhai Gate was already in a sea of fire, and some Guangnan soldiers with slow legs were buried in the sea of fire.
Seeing this scene, Li Youcheng was so angry that he gritted his teeth. He finally rushed into the village. Who would have thought that the Ming people set fire to the village?
"I want to see if you Mingren will burn the other three walls on the village!" Li Youcheng was so angry that he immediately urged hundreds of Guangnan soldiers outside the village to head towards the north gate.
But when the army set out to the north gate, there were bursts of roar of artillery fire from afar.
The sound was moving from far away like thunder, which made Guangnan soldiers marching stunned and stared at the distance, looking at the night in a frightened look on their faces.
"What's going on? Where did the sound of cannons come from?" Li Youcheng asked loudly, with a hint of trembling in his tone.
Logically speaking, the Ming army's artillery should have been destroyed in Xizhai long ago.
And his army is not equipped with artillery.
And the sound of the cannon came, and it seemed that the sound was not far from me.
This made the hairs of the foreign generals present stand upside down.
"Mingren."
"The reinforcements from the Ming people have arrived." I don't know who was in the army suddenly shouted.
In an instant, the army began to be in chaos again.
"Sir, they are reinforcements from Ming people." Even some generals reported in panic.
At this moment, even Li Youcheng was not sure.
He naturally saw the firelight not far away, and it must have been the army marched here at night.
But what he couldn't tell is whether this was an enemy or a friend?
It may be that it was reinforcements sent by Ruan Youjing.
However, this idea was instantly dispelled by Li Youcheng.
Because the gunpowder in the army was tide by water, a dry firearm in the army could not be used at all, and even if gunpowder, artillery and other heavy objects were transported, they should be used to attack Nainong City.
Why transport it here from afar?
Could it be that it is to help me attack the village? It is impossible that I will almost take down Mingzhai.
"It seems that he is really a wise man." A cavalry general stepped forward and daoed Li Youcheng.
"It's better to lead the troops to investigate." The cavalry general led the army.
Li Youcheng shook his head and letting the elite cavalry team investigate the enemy situation at a dark night was tantamount to seeking death. Li Youcheng is not a fool.
"No matter what, the Ming army will not have any fakes. Please withdraw your troops first!" Li Youcheng sighed, looked at the fire curtain in the distance, and turned around to retreat to the camp.
Dozens of elite cavalry followed Li Youcheng and rushed to the camp together.
The remaining hundreds of Guangnan soldiers saw that the main generals had run away, and they followed them one after another.
However, they did not have cavalry and had war horses to travel, so they could only run away with two legs.
At this moment, the Ming army in the city also heard the rumbling cannons.
