Xie Ming

Chapter 382: The First Battle of Texas

Zhou Tai, the archer under Sun Peizhong, seized the opportunity to replenish his arrows and shot another arrow into the air!

The sharp arrow pierced through the heart!
The traitor Wang Aoyong was killed on the spot!

This strategy of killing the enemy was accomplished instantly!

Sun Peizhong stood in front of the North Gate Tower of Dezhou, stared into the distance, saw the result, gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and suddenly raised his arms and shouted!
at once!

On the North Gate City Wall, his soldiers suddenly roared like thunder and sea!
"The Ming army is mighty!"

"The Ming army is mighty!"

"We must win! We must win!"

For a moment, morale was high and the momentum was overwhelming!

On the other hand, looking at the front row of the Jiannu army in front of the pass, General Bahana of the Zhenglan Banner saw that the situation was so weak that his temper exploded and he even got furious!
"Fuck him!" With a foul curse, the man stood up and was about to ride his horse and lead his army to attack the city!
Seeing this, Shi Tingzhu, who was also the commander-in-chief of the Plain White Banner, was horrified!
He grabbed his horse's reins tightly in his hand and blocked his way!

"Eh?!"

"Fuck! Lao Shi, why the hell are you stopping me?!"

"That old dog Wang, no matter how bad he is, is still an envoy sent by the Qing Dynasty. He was shot dead by a single arrow in front of the battle!"

"Why don't you just wait here and make people laugh at you?!" Bahana cursed.

"Oh! You can't mess around!"

"Wait for my order!" Shi Tingzhu pulled the reins tightly, not giving Bahana a chance to escape.

As he said this, he quickly turned his head back!
"Banharu?!"

"Banharu!"

"Damn it, has the artillery team caught up?!" Shi Tingzhu immediately called out to his generals.

"Report——"

"Report! Commander-in-Chief, the artillery team is already in the formation!" Benharu also came forward to respond.

"Then what the hell are you waiting for?!"

"Call the artillery up!"

"Follow my orders, bombard the North Gate Tower together!" Shi Tingzhu shouted.

"Yes!" Banharu did not dare to be negligent at all. After answering, he hurriedly went to dispatch the artillery formation.

"Bahana, listen to me too!"

"At this critical moment, the Ming army defending the city is at its peak!"

"There will be another round of bombardment later!"

"Tell the Han soldiers who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty to go first!"

"It won't be too late for you to charge after you've dampened their fighting spirit!" After Shi Tingzhu gave the order, he turned back to listen to Bahana's explanation, but the two were still fighting with their hands and feet!
Seeing this boy acting so recklessly and rudely, Shi Tingzhu also became angry for a moment.

"Open your fucking eyes and look forward!"

"Look at the Dezhou city in front of you! The city is several feet high!"

"If you don't break through, what's the point of the cavalry charging forward?!"

"Do you really want to use the cavalry brothers as cannon fodder for siege?!"

Shi Tingzhu scolded him and finally calmed down the barbarian Bahana.

"Ugh!"

"I am afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind!"

"It's so damn unpleasant to fight with you!" Bahana softened his tone.

"Correct!"

"artillery?!"

"Where the hell is the artillery?!"

"Come forward quickly!"

"Are you squatting back there waiting to eat shit?!"

"quick!"

"What a bunch of idiots!" When he spoke again, Bahana turned around and took out his anger on his subordinates!
Just a moment!

The Jiannu army's artillery array was ready, and at Shi Tingzhu's command, all the artillery fired at the same time! Boom!
Boom, boom, boom!

Suddenly, in front of the North Gate, smoke rose and arrows flew everywhere!

"Banharu!"

"Send the Han army to supervise the battle! Attack me!"

"Attack the North Gate head-on!"

"Surrounded from the east, west and south!"

"Pass the order! The first one to reach the city will be rewarded handsomely!" Shi Tingzhu led his men to attack the city!
But at this moment, Bahana had a disdainful look on his face and seized the opportunity, but he was completely out of control!

"Damn it! Why are you so slow!"

"What the hell is this about attacking and besieging the city?"

"Lead the team and charge! Those Ming dogs will not be able to resist and will be defeated in an instant!"

"Lao Shi, just stay here and have fun by yourself!"

"I'll be back soon!"

Shi Tingzhu never expected that this troublemaker Bahana would be so disorderly and lead his troops without any order!
But now, even if there is anything to say, it is too late!
Just look, Qi Bahana kicked his horse's belly, led the elite cavalry behind him, and rushed forward!

What a sigh!

That's it!

In Dezhou City, the northernmost important town in Shandong, on the Ghost Festival on July 15th, the battle between the two armies immediately became white-hot as soon as they engaged!
Fortunately, Pei Zhong and his troops had been preparing in this city for many days, and they were well-equipped to wait for the enemy to tire themselves out!
The Jiannu's charge was indeed terrifying, but because of the advantage of terrain and high morale in fighting the Ming army, they were not at a disadvantage even after a brief fight!
So far!

The Battle to Defend Shandong has officially begun!
The first battle in Texas also began on the day of Ghost Festival!
The wind drives the heavy rain to sprinkle on the high city, and the clouds press down with the roar of thunder!
The attack continued like this, and the offensive and defensive sides fought for many rounds!
On the sixteenth day, after a series of cloudy days, heavy rain finally came pouring down!

It was as if there was a gaping hole in the sky, and endless rain poured down on us, like a fierce blow!

It’s raining heavily!
The battle at the northern gate of Dezhou is still going on! Three days of fighting passed in a flash!
The battle was at a stalemate, and the area below the city gate was already muddy and difficult to walk on!

There were corpses, broken swords, and scattered arrows everywhere, it was in a mess, like purgatory on earth!
but!
Even though the Jiannu soldiers had powerful artillery and fierce attacks, up to this point, the enemy had not achieved any success!

The four checkpoints of Dezhou City are still firmly controlled by Peizhong’s troops!

Blah blah blah!

On the evening of July 21th, at the beginning of the hour of Hai (: p.m.).

"It's raining so hard, when will it stop?"

One hundred miles south of Dezhou, ten miles before the north gate of Yucheng, in a pine forest on a high slope!
Xiao Jingchuan was leaning against the edge of a makeshift tarpaulin in front of the camp. He raised his arms and stretched out his hands with a slightly worried look on his face, then followed the splashing rain as he thought about something and recited to himself!
This forward camp was built in the pine forest on the high slope a few days ago under the order of Xiao Lang because the city walls of Yucheng are too small to accommodate nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses.
It can also be used as an outpost!

"Eh?!"

"Chang Ting?!" Xiao Yi didn't know what he suddenly thought of, so he turned around quickly and called Chang Ting's name.

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief!" Chang Ting stopped what he was doing and took two steps forward to respond.

"Minglu and Qi Gang, why haven't they arrived yet?!" Xiao Liulai was talking about the matter of sending generals recently.

"Ah, Commander-in-Chief, if we're going by the speed of our feet, we should be almost there!"

"But look at how much rain it has been raining these past two days."

"It is true that we were delayed on the road!" Changting replied.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingchuan also nodded to show his understanding.

No words for a while
At this moment, an arm suddenly stretched out from the hay pile on the other side of the tarpaulin!
"what--"

Following his movements, Yuan Ping, who was hiding in the pile of materials, was able to stretch his joints and sat up lazily.

"Ouch~!" Yuan Ping yawned.

"Ogawa!"

"You look so worried!"

"How about this!"

"I don't have anything to do anyway!"

"If not, I'll make the trip for you!"

"Let's meet Minglu and the others along the way!" Yuan Ping said.
