Chapter 316 Night Attack on Yuetuo Camp

"Let's go!" Two warriors pushed Li Hong out, preparing to push him outside to behead him.

"Omubu! If I died today, no one will help you in the future!" Li Hong shouted and struggled.

"Slowly, take him down first! Tear into the dungeon!" The cunning Omubu suddenly called on the guards. He still didn't make up his mind to kill Li Hong, because he knew that since the Ming army's inner circle would kill Gu Luge and capture Hang Gao and Toboke, there must be a backup plan. Perhaps the next target of the Ming army is to transform the Jurchens outside the city.

Omubu planned to wait and see for a while. If the Ming army wins, he will release Li Hong; if the Ming army is defeated, he will kill Li Hong and present his head to Yue Tuo.

Outside Guihua City, the Later Jin army camp.

A Jurchen scout stumbled into Yuetuo's central army tent, knelt on the ground and beat him up: "Master Beile, something is wrong! The Mongols gathered outside, and there were at least 20,000 people!"

"Don't be afraid, the Mongols cannot defeat our camp!" Yue Tuo said, but he couldn't help but stand up, walked outside the tent, and climbed a watchtower.

Looking outside the camp, I saw that there were dozens of miles of Jin army camp, and there were oceans of torches, extending from outside the camp to the sky, endlessly looking around, I don’t know how many Mongolians were.

"Yuetuo comes out quickly and surrender! Otherwise, you will break through the camp and kill him!" The shouts of the Mongolians came from outside.

Yue Tuo directed the Jurchen soldiers to set up defenses. The outer wall of his camp was made of thick double-layer logs, one layer long on the outside and one layer short on the inside, and wooden boards were laid on it. The village wall was a wooden city wall full of Jurchen warriors and Baoyi Aha. The Jurchen warriors held tiger guns and bows and Baoyi Aha burned an iron pot, and the gold juice inside was steaming. There were wooden rocks in Shanghai. Behind the village wall, an arrow tower was erected every twenty steps, and ten elite archers stood on each arrow tower. If the Mongolians who lacked siege weapons wanted to attack, they would probably be difficult to take the Jurchen city.

Seeing several Baoyi Aha’s legs so scared that his legs were weak, Yue Tuo walked up and said, “Don’t worry! The Mongols cannot defeat our city! Those who make military achievements can become naturalized and carry the flag! Those who make great contributions will have half a future!”

With the help of the firelight outside, Yuetuo found that the Mongolian cavalry spread out to both sides, and a large number of camels walked out of the middle, with thousands of them. The camels stopped moving two hundred steps away from the Jurchen camp. Someone took off something from the camel's back, but the light was dim and they were not very clear.

Li Guodong directed the soldiers to remove artillery from the camel's back and carry bundles of rockets from the horse's back.

In the middle of the Mongolian formation, the auxiliary soldiers of the Ming army launched large trench bridge chariots with shields in front and wooden chariots with wooden boards on the front and tops, and walked step by step towards the Jurchen camp.

Yue Tuo was shocked: "The Mongols actually have such weapons to attack the city?"

Before Yue Tuo could understand, he saw countless fire dragons suddenly rise two hundred steps ahead. Countless rockets spit bright tongues of flames, with white smoke, roaring towards the Jurchen camp, covering the sky and making a huge noise. Countless rockets rushed into the Jurchen camp, and a tent was lit. After a while, the pile of forage was also ignited by the rockets.

"No! It's Minggou's rocket! Minggou and Mongoliangou cooperate!" Yuetuo was shocked.

The Ming army's swarms of rockets were extremely accurate, and even when they were launched against crowds of people with intensive charges, the threat posed was not great. However, the rockets were the best night attack arson tool. In the past, the Ming army's swarms of rockets were useless because they were offensive weapons, not defensive weapons. The Ming army was suppressed by the Later Jin in the field, so where could they have the opportunity to actively attack the Later Jin camp?

"Hurry! Let Aha go to put out the fire!" Yue Tuo sent an order.

Baoyi Aha in the camp ran back and forth with a bucket of water, constantly pouring water on the tent that caught fire and piled up the forage. However, one flame had just been extinguished, and another flame rose again. The Ming army's swarms of rockets kept shooting into the Houjin camp, and fired everywhere. The Ahas and the others extinguished the fire here, and the fire there was another fire, just like pressing the ball in the water. The ball here pressed down, and the one there floated up again, and they pressed the one there again. They relaxed their hands and floated up again, and they could not extinguish the flames at all.

The Jurchen soldiers shot arrows at the rushing trench bridge chariots, but the arrows were stuck on the thick wooden board in front of the trench bridge chariots, and the trench bridge chariots were unscathed. The Ming army's trench bridge chariots pushed up and spread them on the trench. The auxiliary soldiers holding large wooden shields quickly spread the trench and spread them across the trench. Then the collision car followed, crossed the trench bridge, and approached the village wall.

"Open the gate of the village! Let our cavalry rush out!" Yue Tuo shouted anxiously.

"Master Bell, we rushed out, what should we do with the food?" asked Nunyaha.

"We can't take care of the food! We rushed out and went straight to the 14th uncle, telling him that the Mongolian dog cut off our food route and we must withdraw our troops as soon as possible!" Yue Tuo said loudly. He knew in his heart that Dorgon's withdrawal of troops, and the plan for the western expedition to the grassland was declared to be a failure, but the plan failed was much stronger than the loss of the 35,000 troops on the grassland. If the plan failed, we could come again next time; if the 35,000 Jurchen army was wiped out, then the great Jin general was greatly injured and he might not be able to attack Mongolia within a few years.

The Ming army's collision car had already rushed under the wall of the Houjin Village. The auxiliary soldiers in the car pushed the collision car and kept hitting the wall of the village. The rolling stones on the top of the city and the shooting arrows could not hurt these solid rushing cars.

The gate of the Later Jin army camp suddenly opened, and groups of elite cavalry from the Later Jin appeared inside the door, and rushed out like a whirlwind.

"The Jurchen cavalry is coming out!" The Mongolian light cavalry outside shouted, quickly spreading to both sides, revealing a circle of camels squatting on the ground in the middle.

Only two deafening roars were heard, and two shells shot straight into the village gate. A group of Jurchen cavalry crowded in the narrow village gate. Three shells passed, dozens of Jurchen cavalry flew everywhere. The more than ten people in the front were beaten into pieces, and the Jurchen cavalry behind were either missing arms or with their legs. The fallen war horses blocked the village gate, but the Jurchen cavalry behind did not hesitate and trampled over the corpses of their own people, horses and wounded soldiers.

"Quick! Minggou's cannon is fired, we will rush over and win!" Nunyaha shouted loudly.

The Jurchen cavalry stepped on the body of their companions, rushed out of the village gate, and rushed over the suspension bridge that they had been put down. At this moment, three more shells roared. Before the formation of the Jurchen cavalry could disperse, they were hit by the shells, and immediately fell down a large area with their men and horses.

However, the Jurchens' Aliha Chaoha Battalion is also the most elite force. Although it is not as good as the Bayala Battalion, the most elite heavy cavalry belongs to the Aliha Chaoha Battalion. Two rounds of artillery bombardment, more than a hundred people fell. For the Jurchen cavalry, which had more than 4,000 people, it only lost a fraction of the losses. As long as they rushed out and attacked the Mongols, no matter how many Mongolian cavalry they would flee in all directions.

At this moment, there were two more cannons. The Jurchens who rushed in the front felt that their bodies were as if they were shot through countless sharp arrows. Several blood holes appeared on their bodies and fell down one after another. The Jurchen cavalry group fell down and more than 100 cavalry were knocked down. They were shrapnel shot from two twelve-pound howitzers of the Ming army, and they blasted into the Later Jin cavalry group 150 steps away, and immediately took away a large number of people.

"Run! Keep rushing!" Nunyaha shouted.
