The Ming army kept approaching, but Altan Khan was still confused.

This situation is wrong!

Could this Ming army commander be crazy?

What a joke?

This Songshan Fort can have 50,000 infantry garrisons!

Even the blind man can count the number of people and horses of the Ming army!

The total number of Ming troops is less than 100,000, which is absolutely true. After half of the defense is separated, there are less than 50,000 left. Including the artillery arranged outside the mile, there are only 20,000 people left in the Ming army. There is absolutely no doubt about this. As the more than 20,000 Ming troops approach, the inexperienced people are counted clearly.

Is there any mistake in attacking the fortress where 20,000 people are stationed?

Not to mention whether you can capture Songshan Fort, whether these 20,000 troops can rush up to the city wall is a question!

At this time, the shield wall on the city wall had been erected, and behind the shield wall, rows of archers were already waiting for the battle.

The head commander of the Ming army seemed to have a problem, and he allowed 20,000 troops to keep approaching the city wall, without any other moves, and even did not even hit the cannon.

Five hundred steps, four hundred steps, three hundred steps, two hundred steps, as the 20,000 Ming troops continued to approach, Altan Khan slowly discovered a problem.

Are all these Ming soldiers hiding behind the chariots?

In other words, the archers he prepared were almost useless, and arrows could not penetrate the chariot, so there was no need to think about this.

At this time, he also thought of the rockets, and it would be great if he had enough rockets in his hands. When a rain of fire fell, the Ming army's chariot would be abandoned, and the Ming army infantry hiding behind the chariot would become targets.

Unfortunately, there was a shortage of supplies on the grassland, and they basically didn’t have any oil for cooking. Even the fat on cattle and sheep were all hot.

Anyone with some experience knows that fat fat is the most hungry one. What's more, the fat fat is so tempting that it can't be roasted with fire. There are so many people who like to eat it.

Therefore, the fat of cattle and sheep was eaten by people. There was no tincture or rocket on the grassland, so there was no way to talk about it.

Without rockets, he could only attack with ordinary arrows. As soon as the Ming army approached about 150 steps, he ordered the archers to start shooting.

The rain of arrows on the city wall fell sparsely, but the Ming army's chariots did not mean to stop at all. Yu Dayou casually pushed away a few bows and arrows that were shooting towards him, and his face was still calm.

Such a siege is simply too simple, because the wall of Songshan Fort is only about one meter high, which is almost the same as the height of the chariot roof. As long as the chariot is close to the city wall, the soldiers will climb onto the roof and jump up, which is not difficult at all.

Now, the only problem is the shield wall of the Tartars. The only way is to destroy the shield wall and then attack with muskets and artillery, so that the defenders on the city wall will be in chaos. When they rush up to the city wall, there will be no heavy casualties.

At this time, the chariot he commanded was less than a hundred steps away from the city wall, and it was time to set up the rockets.

He ordered without hesitation: "Stop, set up the array, ignite, and shoot all the rockets."

With his order, four thousand chariots gradually moved closer, and twenty thousand infans quickly lit the torches, then picked up the longbow on the chariot, took out the rockets that had been prepared, and after igniting them, they shot them on the city wall.

The rockets shot towards the city wall like rain of fire. Altan Khan was stunned again. When did the Ming army lose so many bows?

The volley of 20,000 people and the volley of 4,000 people are not the same as the same effect. If the number of rockets is too large to a certain extent, no matter how much cold water and sand you prepare, it will be useless. Then the rocket is like raining, how can you kill it?

This time, Yu Dayou prepared 200,000 rockets. That guy was halfway through the shooting, and there was a sea of ​​fire on the city wall. No matter how the defenders poured water or covered the soil, they could not be destroyed.

What should I do if this giant shield catches fire?

Of course, I would throw it away quickly and hold it in my hand again, and then the whole person would catch a fire!

The city walls have gradually begun to lose control. The giant shield is no longer the life-saving lock of the Tartars, but has become their death talisman. This guy, the wooden stakes that are thick with thighs, can be roasted in the whole cow.

Anyone who has roasted beef knows it, so he quickly throws away the wooden stakes. Those who have never roasted beef also know that this thing cannot be held in their hands, otherwise it will be battered!

The city walls soon became a mess, and panicked howlings were everywhere in the sea of ​​fire. The shield formation was gone, and almost everyone was trying to avoid the barbecue in the fire.

Seeing this, Yu Dayou decisively ordered: "Send the order, all artillery will bombard five consecutive rounds."

"Boom boom boom", soon, a huge roar covered the howlings on the city wall, and the Ming army's shells hit the city wall like raindrops.

This time, the city wall was without the protection of the shield wall. The shells fell into the dense crowd, and the lethality was quite amazing. After five rounds of artillery bombardment, the city wall was already seriously injured, and there were wailing everywhere.

Seeing this, Yu Dayou ordered without hesitation: "Give up the bow and lose, change the spear, and rush!"

The 20,000 Ming troops suddenly burst out roars like mountains and seas, and 4,000 chariots advanced rapidly and rushed to the city wall.

Yu Dayou stood up directly from the horse's back, stepped onto the chariot in front, then kicked with one leg, and jumped onto the city wall with a "swoosh".

When he went up, he was like a human-shaped meat grinder, and everywhere he passed, he was full of flesh and blood.

Seeing that the commander was so brave, the Ming army soldiers leaped onto the city wall as if they were injected with chicken blood, waving their spears, and stabbed them.

Although they seemed to be out of order, their strength was quite amazing, because the cold weapons were almost eliminated by the Ming army at this time, and only the chariot soldiers used spears when they were in close combat. Therefore, the Ming army soldiers basically abandoned other weapons and only practiced spears.

That guy was so fierce when he stabbed someone. Basically, he could get a hole with one shot, fast, fierce and accurate.

Tens of thousands of defenders on the east city wall were about to fail, so Altan Khan quickly ordered that ten thousand reserves be made up under the city wall be replenished. At the same time, he also ordered that the infantry on the south, north and west city walls all gather on the east city walls and must drive the Ming army down.

After giving these orders, he took his younger brother Kunduliha and his son Tiebingtai and ran down the city gate tower under the guards of a group of personal guards, rode a war horse, rushed out of the west gate, and ran straight towards the Khan Courtyard.

He knew that Songshan Fort would definitely not be able to defend, and these infantry guarding the city would die if they died. Anyway, they were not from their Tatar tribe. He just wanted to go back and flee northwest with his troops, so as not to be surrounded by the Ming army south of Songshan, and he could not even run away!

He thought that this time, as before, it would be fine if he ran away, and after a period of reproduction and reproduction, he could make a comeback.
