Chapter 179 The Mongolian army and the Ming army are actually in a stalemate?

After the Zhenning Guard was breached, Jiezhou's Ghost Lichi approached again.

And at the moment he rode into the city, Zhenning Acropolis had completely fallen under the control of the Mongols. The Mongolian army was raging in Zhenning Acropolis. Zhenning Acropolis was already a mess, and the people were crying one after another.

"What's going on? I've begged you, please
"Please, this is food for our family, we have four children in our family, can we keep some more food?
"Forgive my wife, my wife, you bastard!"

"Asshole, I'm going to kill you!"

When the Mongols captured a city, they would loot the civilians in the city.

At this time, the wailing of the Ming people was simply the most beautiful music in the world.If he didn't have enough time, he would have killed everyone in the city.

Massacre of a city is a habit of the Mongols.

Now he easily captured this city. At this moment, he felt that his strength had improved again.

He was overjoyed when his men counted the loot, which contained more than 3 kilograms of grain.

Zhenningwei alone has so much food, how big is the food in Jiezhou?
If they capture Jiezhou, the Mongolian troops will have enough food to move freely on this great plain, completely throwing off the Ming Dynasty's army.

Thinking of this, he suddenly became interested and shouted: "Everyone, rest for an hour, and then go to Jiezhou!"

On the other side, Xuan Bin, the commander-in-chief of Guyuan Military Town, looked a little embarrassed after receiving Zhu Tuo's letter. He glanced at the generals below and said slowly: "Gui Lichi's attack target is Guyuan Military Town in Jiezhou. Now Zhenning Guard only has I’m afraid I’m going to lose it.”

"We have less than 3 soldiers and horses, and the Mongols have more than [-] soldiers and horses. It seems invincible. However, seven days later, King Su will lead a large army to attack the Mongolian witches from both sides. The Mongolian army will inevitably be annihilated. We will make a decision for the Ming Dynasty. contribution.
"Everyone, go to Jiezhou immediately and stay there for seven days! What I want is Jiezhou!"

Jiezhou was originally just an inconspicuous medium-sized city. However, when the war develops to the end, the owner of this city will determine the final outcome.

If the Mongols occupied this place, they could use the defense of Jiezhou City to resist the Ming soldiers, or they could loot enough food in Jiezhou City, then turn around and enter the vast plains, and leave calmly.

If the Ming army could hold on to Jiezhou, the Mongolian army would be within their grasp.

Therefore, when Xuanbin received Zhu Tuo's letter, he understood that the matter was of great importance and immediately led his army to Jiezhou.

However, because of the fear of a sudden attack by the Mongols on Guyuan Military Town, Guyuan Military Town must retain 5000 people.

Xuan Bin has 5000 soldiers under his command, and counting the 3000 soldiers in Jiezhou City, the total is [-].

The Mongols number about 30.

3 people versus 8000 people, this is a huge disadvantage.

The Mongolian witch's attack capability is not strong, and more than 8000 soldiers are enough.

In fact, during the Song Dynasty, the Mongols made great progress in sieges.

For example, they captured Han people everywhere and used them as shields so that they had to attack with bare hands to attract the opponent's attention.

The Mongols would also build catapults, throw barrels of gasoline into the city, and then burn the entire city to ashes.

There are also people who melt the fat in the human body into grease, burn it, and throw it into the city. The grease is easy to extinguish and is extremely lethal.

"I don't understand why everyone is saying that Xiang Yu is besieged. It seems that this city has become ours."

"But when I think of my ancestors, that vibrant scene comes to mind. More than 100 years have passed, how could the Mongols have fallen to this point? Are we going to be buried in this place?"

"No matter what, 30 people versus 8000 people, I have the absolute upper hand!!"

With a flick of his sleeve, [-] Mongolian soldiers and horses roared in.

The prisoners of the previous Zhenning guards were all brought to the front. Fan Gao ran and cried: "Lieutenant Xuandu, don't shoot, it's me, it's me!"

Xuan Bin looked at Fan Gao who was crying in the distance, with a sneer on his lips, "Is that you?"

It’s really disappointing and makes Daming lose face!
"Go find a bow and arrow." Xuan Bin opened the long bow and glanced sideways at Fan Gao who was screaming. Suddenly he raised his hand and a long arrow whizzed out and went straight to Fan Gao's heart.

Fan Gao opened his mouth, but in the end he couldn't speak, and he collapsed on the ground.

"Don't worry about those Ming people below. Since they have surrendered, just shoot with bows and crossbows." Xuan Bin ordered coldly.

The Ming soldiers on the top of the city pulled up their long arrows one after another, and sharp arrows flew out of their hands.

"chichichi"

Crossbow arrows poured towards the Mongolian army like a violent storm.

Whether it is the prisoners of the Ming army or the crossbows of the Mongolian army, they all have such powerful weapons.

In this baptism, everyone was shaken and staggered, and a large number of people died.

"chichichi"

The second round of attacks began.

After just two rounds of volley fire, a large number of Ming troops at the front were captured, and the Mongolian soldiers behind suffered heavy casualties.

He never expected that the always timid Ming Dynasty would actually shoot at his comrades.

Therefore, many Mongolian soldiers were seriously injured when they were caught off guard.

"You people of Ming Dynasty, you shoot at will and even dare to kill people of my clan, I, Changsheng Heaven, will never spare you.

With a wave of his hand, the catapult was ready to attack and launched an attack on the soldiers on the city wall.

At the beginning of the war, the Mongols did not have the upper hand because they were well prepared, but they were unwilling to admit defeat and could only grit their teeth and hold on.

The battle lasted all night, until both of them were exhausted, and then it ended.

Gui Lichi looked at the devastated Mongolian soldiers and felt infinite anger in his heart. He originally thought that if he could not win Jiezhou today, he could at least make the Ming army suffer a little.

However, his soldiers did not scale the city wall at all. Instead, some Mongolian soldiers were shot dead with crossbows.

Even the deputy general Arutai did not expect this battle.

On the second day, he specially formed a patrol team, and anyone who dared to escape would be shot to death!

Under such head-on confrontation, the Mongolian soldiers also showed their courage, rushed to the city wall, and fought a life-or-death battle with the Ming army.

The Ming army, led by Xuan Bin, repeatedly pushed back the Mongolian army, but in close combat, both countries suffered many casualties.

On the third day, the fourth day, the fifth day, and the sixth day, the two armies went crazy at the same time.

Jiezhou City was once forced into an alley by the Mongols. Xuanbin led his troops to fight. He fought bloody and thirsty, killing an unknown number of enemies, and finally defeated the Mongolian offensive again.

The city of Jiezhou was like a scene of shocking corpses. Looking around, there were ruins everywhere and blood-stained corpses everywhere.

But now, both of them are exhausted men, competing to see who can hold on until death.

Although the Ming army suffered many casualties.

However, the Ming army was more tenacious than he expected.

It was originally thought that within three days, the Ming soldiers in Jiezhou would be defeated, but after seven days, they would start looting.

However, six days passed by and nothing much changed in this war.

He suddenly realized that the Mongolian army and the Ming army were actually in a stalemate?
