Chapter 32 The reinforcements have arrived
Seeing that with a large number of Han troops and even some Jurzv soldiers put on the battlefield, under the great disparity in strength between the two sides, the defenders began to chaos. Although Wu Xiang also constantly sent troops to reinforce the places where the battle was most fierce, it was still impossible to change this situation. Although the defenders had a territorial advantage, However, he lost the initiative of the war and had to deploy troops along the long wall, but the attacking side could concentrate its forces and attack several points on this defense line. Therefore, under the crazy attack of the slave army, although Shanhaiguan, Guanbeiyi City and Dongxiluo City were not broken, but in the west of Xiluo City. Several passways on the side, but the situation is in danger.
Wu Xiang did not expect that the Jiannu side would launch such a fierce attack on this day. With the still unprepared siege equipment and the fierce artillery support, they almost put all the available troops into the battlefield of the siege, and it can be said that they wanted to break through his defense line at all costs and break into the long. Within the city.
Wu Xiang is very clear that once the Jiannu army enters the customs, what will be the result? The Jiannu army can divide the troops to block the Dazhong army that is rushing here, and then eat his soldiers and horses of the Ming army with superior forces, and then deal with the Dazhong army. Now he has completely torn his face with the Jiannu side. On this day, He ordered to kill a lot of Jiannu. Once Jiannu caught him, he knew how miserable he would die, so he could only constantly deploy troops to strengthen the defense of several important places, hoping to delay the time and wait until the large and medium-sized troops came here to reinforce.
And the Dazhong army did not disappoint Wu Xiang. At noon, Wang Chengping led 7,000 Chinese cavalry to the Shihe area. The galloping in the morning made the horses and generals a little tired, and the two sides had to agree on the next place to change their defenses, so Wang Chengping ordered his generals to temporarily cross. After crossing the Shihe River, take a rest by the Shihe River.
Originally, Wang Chengping thought that although Jiannu was threatening Shanhaiguan, according to what he learned from Feng Weihan, Wu Xiang eliminated the military generals in the army who tried to surrender Jiannu overnight. It was no problem for them to guard Shanhaiguan for a few days. Therefore, although he led his troops to come first, in order to avoid misunderstandings. He was not in a hurry to go to some places to pick up the defense, but to wait for the defenders to contact him, and then to take over the defense.
However, after the Shenshi in the afternoon, Wang Chengping heard that the artillery fire in the area of Shanhaiguan became very dense, and the shouting was even more deafening. When he was surprised, Wu Xiang sent someone to inform Wang Chengping that he was asked him to rush to Xiluo City and several passes west of Xiluo City to reinforce. And told Wang Chengping that Dorgun, the slave chief of Jiannu, was crazy today. He dispatched almost all the cannons and soldiers and horses, and launched a fierce attack on the front line of Shanhaiguan at no cost. Now several places west of Shanhaiguan are already in danger. Please ask Wang Chengping to lead his troops to reinforce as soon as possible.
Wang Chengping was shocked and did not dare to neglect any longer, so he immediately led his troops to several places pointed out by Wu Xiang. When he arrived at these places, Wang Chengping knew that the situation was more serious than he thought. Some officers and soldiers on the wall had begun to be defeated, and a small number of construction and slaves had begun to appear. On the city wall, efforts are being made to expand the results of the war, break through the walls in some places, and seize the closing doors.
So Wang Chengping didn't dare to think too much about it. He immediately ordered some soldiers to dismount and board the wall. No matter how much they paid, they had to knock down these construction slaves who had climbed the wall.
The ordered Dazhong soldiers took the order without saying a word and roared to the city wall. With the arrival of their fresh force, they immediately controlled the situation and went to a worse extent. After a small number of Jiannu soldiers who had just climbed the wall met these reinforced Dazhong troops, only one of them, They were knocked down by the city wall by these generals of the Dazhong army. Seeing that more and more Dazhong soldiers would come to climb the city wall, the officers and soldiers who had already collapsed saw hope, and their morale was revived. They began to follow the Dazhong army reinforcements to turn around and join the regiment again.
It was not easy for Jiannu to achieve a little results. With the arrival of Wang Chengping's leading troops, it turned into nothing. Some Jiannu soldiers were originally happy, but when they saw a group of wolves and tigers coming up, some Jiannu soldiers panicked and turned around and ran away, running a little slower. The bento was cut to death on the wall. Some Jiannu even had no time to climb the ladder leaning against the wall, so they were chased behind their buttocks. In a hurry, they jumped out of the wall and jumped directly under the wall with an exclamation of "Oh..."
Think about the wall of the Ming Great Wall in the Shanhaiguan area. The lower one is seven meters high and the high is about ten meters high. If you jump down in such a high place, no one will put an inflatable cushion for them below. It's light to jump down and break your leg. If you jump down with bad fate, you can't live. Don't be extremely lucky to jump down and fall on piles of corpses. Fortunately, you are not injured, but unlucky eyes fall on the corpses and run into the knives and guns in those corpses, even if they are stabbed to death under the city.
Dorgun originally looked at the war situation from afar and saw that some places in the west of Shanhaiguan had achieved results. Some of the builders' slaves had begun to climb the wall, gradually expanding the results on the wall, chasing and killing those defeated soldiers of the Ming army. Seeing that the Ming army in some places was about to completely collapse.
But in the blink of an eye, he saw that the soldiers who had climbed up the wall jumped down the wall in panic like dumplings, and there was a sound of cheers on the wall. Dorcon found that something was a little wrong.
Unfortunately, Dorgan stood a little far away. Although his eyes were good, he did not have the Qianli eyes equipped by Xing Tianjun. He couldn't see what happened on the wall at all, but it is certain that the Ming army received support. Where did this support come from?
Dolgan also learned through detailed work yesterday that the large and medium-sized army in Guan is stationed in order to avoid conflict with the Shanhaiguan garrison, and the Funingwei, which is still a hundred miles away, is stationed, but can they get here now?
In short, Dorgom looked at the black spots that kept falling like small ants on the wall in the distance, and there was an ominous foreboding in his heart. He was about to adjust the deployment, postpone the offensive, and send someone to find out what had happened on the wall. However, on the other side of Xiluo City, suddenly there was a shocking shout of killing.
Then he saw that in the area of the gate of Siro City, their military array on the slave side began to be in chaos. All kinds of military flags began to retreat like a tide, and the sound of exclamation resounded throughout the battlefield, and even suppressed the sound of gunfire on both sides.
Dorcon's heart suddenly sank to the bottom, and his first thought was "The Xing Tianjun is coming!"
