On the city wall twenty meters away,
They were densely packed with enemy troops.
Liu Jizhong could hit the target even with his eyes closed!
His eyes lit up quickly.
They saw Yelü Mawu giving orders.
Very conspicuous.
Not only is the equipment better,
Moreover, he was protected by his personal guards.
Raise your gun and aim.
"Bang bang bang bang..."
There were at least ten musketeers.
Aiming at Yelü Mawu's head.
"Damn it, I was too slow!"
Liu Jizhong hadn't even had a chance to fire his gun.
Yelü Ma Wu has fallen.
Even his four personal guards fell down with him.
"Thump, thump, thump..."
A swallowtail-shaped armor-piercing arrow was shot at.
Insert the outer skin of the observation vehicle.
It shook violently below the firing port.
Liu Jizhong quickly searched for the enemy archer.
It is difficult to detect in a short period of time.
They decided to target a messenger waving a command flag.
"boom!"
A gunshot rang out, and someone fell.
But after the messenger delivered the military order,
He immediately turned and ran away.
The bullet accidentally hit the auxiliary vehicle.
Yelü Ma Wu died in battle in a muddle.
This caused great chaos among the Jin soldiers defending the city.
Ming heavy infantry, supported by spearmen
Taking advantage of the opportunity, they pushed it outwards by more than ten meters.
Kong Yanzhou's troops were also sent up.
However, the battle has not yet begun.
Instead, they set up a gun emplacement and stood on the outside of the horse path.
Two bullets flew in.
Those are musketeers firing from the city wall.
These musketeers were much less accurate.
Originally, the target was Kong Yanzhou.
However, the shot missed and killed his personal guard.
Kong Yanzhou was shocked.
They disregarded all military orders.
He tumbled and scrambled off the horse track and fled.
His soldiers also fled along with him.
Subsequently, Ming troops scaled the city walls.
No room for maneuver was found.
So he went to move the logs.
They stacked logs to form several small platforms, each about the height of a person.
They summoned some musketeers.
Stand on the log platform behind friendly forces.
They fired down at the Jin soldiers opposite them from their high vantage point.
"what!"
A musketeer had just stepped onto it.
Then an arrow from a Jin soldier was hurled at us.
And by some twist of fate, it fell and pierced the eye socket.
The guy covered his eyes and backed away.
More musketeers stepped up and continued.
Wanyan Xiyin entered the city at some unknown time.
He came to Wanyan Zongwang's side and said:
"East and south of the Ming army camp,"
"All were fortified with trenches and walls,"
"The west side is blocked by vans."
"Four hundred Zha Meng'an soldiers were just killed in battle,"
"They simply can't break through,"
“The Ming army also had firearms inside their camp.”
"I ordered over a thousand infantrymen to march along the base of the city wall,"
"Siege engines charging towards the Ming army,"
"We intend to ambush the attacking enemy from the rear,"
"They were routed by artillery fire after only getting halfway there."
"We can't fight outside the city anymore,"
"Can the city still be defended?"
"Four hundred Zhamengan soldiers killed in action?"
Wanyan Zongwang was greatly alarmed.
Wanyan Xiyin said, "The mother was forced into this situation."
He saw that one section of the city wall had been breached.
"His soldiers were unable to break through the camp,"
"Let Sibai Zha Meng'an dismount and fight on foot."
"Who knew the Liangshan emperor was so cunning?"
"They actually left firearms soldiers inside the camp."
Chapter 2081 Let's Withdraw the Troops
Just then, Wanyan Talan also rode back into the city:
"They can't fight from outside,"
"The city will probably be gone soon too,"
"Withdraw your troops immediately."
"They can still fight in the city,"
“We can drive the enemy back,” Wanyan Zongwang said.
Wanyan Talan pointed to the battlefield.
"The Great Jin Warriors were being driven back in disarray,"
"The front row opposite us is full of heavily armored soldiers."
Wanyan Zongwang said, "Why not use the remaining Hezha Meng'an?"
"Move all of them to the city walls for infantry combat."
"You are crazy!"
Wanyan Xiyin and Wanyan Talan exclaimed in surprise at the same time.
Wanyan Talan added, "If we delay any longer, the Ming army will occupy the horse trail."
"Then we'll charge down and open the city gates,"
"How can we safely evacuate in the midst of chaos?"
Wanyan Zongwang looked at the city walls where the battle was at a stalemate.
He was truly unwilling to withdraw his troops.
Wanyan Xiyin said, "The Ming army has firearms and heavily armored soldiers."
"If the army is fighting a bitter battle on the city walls and inside the city,"
"That suits the Liangshan emperor's wishes perfectly."
"Could it be that our army has 20,000 cavalry?"
"Are all of them to be deployed into the city for infantry combat?"
"At the beginning of the Jurchen warriors' uprising,"
"There aren't that many cavalry,"
"Didn't you start out by fighting on foot?" Wanyan Zongwang said.
Wanyan Xiyin angrily rebuked: "You've been blinded by anger!"
Wanyan Talan said, "While the fighting is still ongoing on the city walls,"
"The troops should be withdrawn immediately."
"Otherwise, once the Ming army captures Gaocheng,"
"The cavalry were able to withdraw safely,"
How many infantry units from each ethnic group can withdraw?
"The infantry of each ethnic group were conscripted and assigned by lottery,"
"If too many people die here,"
"After we return to our hometown,"
“The military leaders of all ethnic groups will probably resent this and cause trouble.”
"Let's retreat quickly, what are we waiting for?" Wanyan Xiyin said.
Wanyan Talan said, "Abandon Gaocheng and lure the Ming army into pursuit."
"Perhaps we can also use cavalry to defeat the enemy in the open field."
