Chapter 524 Wife is gone (fourth update)

As soon as they walked out of the house, there was a loud "wuwuwu" bugle sound outside the city, as well as the rumble of horse hooves, which all showed that the Mongol Tatar siege was a bit loud this time.

In Guihua City, you can see thieves running around, it's a bit chaotic, but they are basically running towards the city.

Li Zicheng's side was fine. As soon as he left the house, about a hundred people gathered around him. These people were all his men. After hearing the military order, they did not run towards the city in a chaotic manner, but came to gather at his place.

Li Zicheng looked up at the top of the city where King Chuang's flag was, then turned back and was about to speak when he suddenly looked at Li Guo beside him and said, "If you are sick, just stay in the house!"

"Nothing wrong!" When Li Guo heard this, he couldn't help but replied angrily, then he nodded to the twenty or so people in front of him and said, "Follow me, and don't be afraid of anyone. The Mongols are coming. We It’s a dead end!”

Li Zicheng heard it from the side and was puzzled. What he said just now seemed to be very clear and he didn't seem crazy.

At this time, he could no longer dwell on the matter. He immediately gave the order and led his men to the top of the city where King Chuang's flag was located.

This Guihua City was built by Anda Khan in imitation of the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, which was the capital of the Ming Dynasty. It has a circumference of about two miles, is covered with green bricks, is three feet high, and has a north and south gate. It was built in Wanli three years. But it was a bit too small, only as big as three playgrounds, so in the ninth year of Wanli, it was expanded again.

There were originally no cities on the grassland, so after this naturalized city was built, it immediately became a symbol of the Mongolian royal power in the grassland. When Lin Danhan fled westward, his first goal was to seize this Guihua City as his royal capital.

But at this moment, he was looking at this city that he liked very much with great annoyance. The various flags with Chinese characters flying on top of the city were particularly dazzling. The fluttering flag seemed to be silently mocking him. Look, the royal capital has been lost again. The Golden Family is really embarrassed to have descendants like you!

Lin Danhan didn't want to look at the city anymore, and turned to look at his men who were preparing to attack. There were many men pushing large carts. In the front of the cart, a baffle modified from a yurt was used to block the arrows on the city top. This is a carriage built by the Mongols themselves, but the Mongols are not very good at making it and have no materials. It is crudely made, but it seems to be usable.

Although there is no siege ladder, the Mongols are good at throwing horse harnesses. As long as they rush to the bottom of the city wall, they can throw the rope up to the battlements and climb up.

"Father Khan, with so many troops dispatched this time, we will definitely be able to defeat him!" A voice sounded beside him, with a hint of fear in his tone.

Lin Danhan heard the sound and turned around to look. The hand holding the riding crop seemed to want to pull it away. The young man was so frightened that he stared at the riding crop, fearing that the whip would strike him.

"It's all your fault that you lost the city to a group of Ming people!" Lin Danhan cursed bitterly.

He led troops to pursue King Shunyi who fled west, leaving his son Ezhe to stay in Guihua City. Unexpectedly, E Zhe actually led people to hunt. As a result, Guihua City had no troops and was captured by the Han people.

What makes Lin Danhan angry is that these are nothing. But none of his wife or anything else escaped, they all fell into the hands of those people. How could he not know who those people in the city were? If his wives fell into their hands, there would be no need to think about the consequences!

But the main reason why he ignored it and continued to attack the city for several days was not that, but the jade seal handed down from his ancestors was still in the city. This thing cannot be lost, it must be obtained. However, others don’t know this yet, but they can’t keep it secret for too long.

"Father Khan, they are not ordinary people of the Ming Dynasty, they are all fierce Ming Dynasty thieves, more fierce than the Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers!" Ezhe argued with a sad face. If the common people of the Ming Dynasty were like this, then why go hunting for grass and grain? It would be a good thing if they didn't let them hunt grass and grain!

Upon hearing this, Lin Danhan became angry and raised his hand to hit him with a whip. But at this moment, the troops attacking from a distance were getting a little closer to the city, and they all shouted and started to charge. The movement was a bit loud and attracted his attention.

I saw many Mongolian cavalry rushing towards the top of the city to attract the attention of the top of the city. At the same time, they shot arrows at the top of the city to cover the infantry pushing simple carts as they approached the bottom of the city. The Ming thieves on the top of the city also began to shoot arrows downwards.

Suddenly, arrows were flying up and down the city, and the shooting was very lively. But most of the arrows missed. Only a few unlucky people were hit by arrows, fell off their horses, or fell off the city walls.

After the carriage approached, the battle became more intense.

Although the Mongols are good at riding and shooting, if they really want to ride on a fast horse and shoot at the enemy at the top of the city, their accuracy is naturally not as accurate as that of infantry standing on the top of the city. On the top of the city, rockets were replaced and fired at the yurt-modified carts. Even when they got closer, large rocks began to fall down.

As a result, the casualty rate on both sides began to increase dramatically. At the top of the city and below the city, screams could be heard from time to time.

Li Guo hid behind the battlements and peeked below, but did not let his men fight back. He even had some free time to turn around and look down at the top of the city. He saw many of his companions on the hilltops fighting fiercely, and he couldn't help but secretly despise them. Why are you messing around so hard? Why don't you save some energy and move closer to fight?

Thinking this, he turned his head and looked at Li Zicheng again. Seeing that he was protecting himself tightly with a shield, he felt relieved again. Then he turned back and looked outside again. He whispered the names of a few people and assigned them to shoot the approaching infantry. As for those The man on horseback paid no attention to it.

Not long after, the Mongol Tatars finally attacked the city. Li Guo gave an order, and he and the few he named immediately leaned out and shot arrows at the target. Others lifted stones and threw them down. The frequency of counterattacks here surpassed that of other mountains in just one moment. The Mongol Tatars outside the city were killed and wounded, and they immediately caught up with them and overtook them on other hills. As for themselves, the casualty rate was very small.

In a city defense battle like this, Li Zao had already figured out effective tactics in the past few days. He also mentioned it to other mountains. However, although the other mountaintops agreed, once the fight started, they fought the same way they fought in the first place.

After fighting for about half an hour, the Mongolian Tatars all retreated after losing hundreds of corpses. When the thieves on the city saw him, they breathed a sigh of relief. They took a rest and saved others.

Li Guo stood up straight and looked at the Mongolian camp in the distance. Then he turned back to look at Li Zicheng and saw that he was greeting his opponent.

After Li Guo thought for a moment, he walked towards Li Zicheng.
