When shooting archery at close range, the archery skills of the Later Jin soldiers were indeed quite powerful. The arrows they shot could pass through small shooting holes and kill people behind them.

Many Ming army's bird guns have been shot in the hands of arrows, and many people have been shot in the face, almost nothing can be saved.

At such a close distance, bird guns and bows and arrows are not at all profitable. The bird guns are loading too slowly, and their advantage is that they have strong armor-breaking ability. Ming army bird guns are wearing iron helmets and armor. Unless the bows and arrows hit the limbs and faces, they will not be able to hurt these bird gunmen. However, while the Later Jin army archers were shooting archers, many Jin soldiers threw axes, iron bones, and heavy javelins. They were hit by these thrown weapons and their armor could not be protected.

"Break..." Seeing that the brave and invincible Great Jin warrior had rushed to the wooden fence, Sahalian shouted excitedly, but before the word "form" was shouted out, his open mouth could not close.

Dozens of black objects with Mars dropped from the wooden tower behind the wooden fence and landed among the Jin soldiers. Accompanied by the flames and smoke, a series of explosions sounded, and caltrops and debris flew everywhere. More than 300 Jin soldiers who had already rushed to the wooden fence were blown up one after another and rolled down the slope one after another.

The Ming army threw out the powerful weapon to defend the city, which was a kind of earth bomb. Moreover, Li Guodong improved the gunpowder formula, changed the sealing of the shell better. This explosive weapon was thrown into the Later Jin army crowd, and the more than 300 people who had finally rushed up were blown back.

In fact, the power of ten thousand enemies is not great. A two-foot square wooden frame contains a spherical earth bomb. The explosion of such a large object is not as powerful as that of later generations. There are not many Later Jin soldiers who actually killed them, most of them were injured, but the injured were basically helpless. The rusty caltrops pierced into the body and eventually died of infection in pain.

After being bombed by ten thousand enemies, Sahalian's troops paid more than 1,000 people to attack outside the wooden fence, which turned out to be wasted. The five thousand men under his command had already suffered more than 1,300 casualties, and about a quarter of them were lost.

"Master Beile, these Mingdog firearms are so sharp! The servants have tried their best, but they can't rush up!" A Meleezhen knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Sir, give me a knife!" A Jin army Niu Lue who was carried down howled in pain, begging the people around him to help him relieve his pain.

Sahalian walked to the Niu Luezhen and saw that his armor, which was blackened by gunpowder, was covered with dense holes, and the armor on his abdomen was blown up. The outer cotton armor and trousers had been torn to pieces. The chain mail inside was broken, shrapnel and chain mail fragments pierced into his abdomen, and his intestines were flowing out, and the white clothes were all dyed red.

If he was so injured, he was destined to be unable to save him. Sahalian was cruel and pulled out the golden knife, and slashed the Niu Lu's neck with one knife, helping him relieve his pain.

There were countless wounded soldiers lifted down. There were about 600 people who died in the battle just now, and more than 700 were injured. More than 500 of them were seriously injured. Some had broken legs, some had lost arms, some had a big hole in their stomachs, and some had both legs turned into hornet's nests.

Sahalian's face turned pale. It seemed that none of these seriously injured people could survive. Even if they did not die today, they would die in extreme pain in a few days.

As for the more than 200 minor wounded people, they only seemed to be relatively mild on the surface, and they were all hit by bird guns and did not hit the vital point. However, a small bullet made them lose their combat effectiveness. Although the wound has been bandaged, the lead bullet is still left in the body, and they may die of a lead poison attack in a few days.

Several Later Jin soldiers who had bandaged their wounds were screaming in pain. The shaman witch doctors who followed the army stopped the blood and bandaged the wounds, but these shaman witch doctors were unable to remove the projectiles embedded in the bones.

The gauze tightly wraps the wound, but there is an unremoved projectile in the bones and flesh. How uncomfortable it feels. The human body tissue has a strong repulsive effect on external objects. On weekdays, even if a wooden thorn is pierced into the flesh, it will be unbearable to have it not taken out, let alone a projectile that is so big remains in the bones and muscles.

Sahalian stood on a high stone and looked at the fortifications of the Ming army in front from afar. He saw that there were crowds of people in the Ming army camp, and there seemed to be many people busy behind him, and they might be still building fortifications. Looking at this fortification, although there was no city wall defense, the trenches, sheep, horse walls, wooden fences and firearms were closely cooperating with firearms. It was not better to attack such fortifications than to siege the city, and the Ming army stationed here was really powerful.

"It seems that Mingdog, who is despicable, is going to trap us in the valley! It's better to turn back and attack that earthen city! I don't believe that Mingdog has so many sharp firearms at both ends!" Sahalian drew his knife and pointed to the northeast.

"Master Beller, our army has just been hit by attacking this place. We should continue to attack the Mingdo Fortifications here. We should not replace the targets. In the event that more than a thousand brothers who were injured and killed here will be bleeding in vain." A Melee really tried hard to persuade him.

Sahalian pointed to the Ming army position in front and said, "If we throw our troops into this place, we will only shed more blood in vain! When we are all fighting, how can we resist as soon as Minggou comes out? Why not turn around and attack the Tucheng east! I think Minggou's Tucheng will not have much troops to garrison, it is just to scare our army."

"But even if we break through the earth city, our army will no longer be able to join the army."

"It's okay! If we can break through the Tucheng, our army will leave the pass from Zhangjiakou, go around and then return to Datong. If it really doesn't work, we will go back to Liaodong first. The Khan will blame him for punishing him. It's all my fault for underestimating the enemy so much that he will be defeated today."

The Later Jin army boarded again and gave up attacking the siege guarding Han Dashan behind, and turned to attack the Yungaishan Tucheng guarding Li Guodong in front.

Sahalian arrived at Tucheng, Yungaishan, with less than 4,000 remaining people. He ordered his officers and soldiers to build siege weapons and prepare to attack Tucheng.

The so-called siege weapons are only simple trench bridges and simple cloud ladders. There is no way. The 5,000 Aliha Chaoha soldiers under his command are all cavalrymen. The three thousand Korchin Mongolian light cavalry who originally assisted him have been completely destroyed. The vanguard cavalry did not bring Baoyi Aha, so they could only let the noble warriors of the Jin Kingdom build siege weapons themselves.

What excellent heavy siege weapons can these cavalry build? They can only simply build some ladders and trench bridges, carry them on their bodies and go to the ant to attack the city.

"The Tartars finally know that they are coming to die here! Then take good care of them!" Li Guodong said, standing on the arrow tower, holding a thousand-mile mirror, looking at the Later Jin cavalry who were building siege weapons.
