Chapter 137: Lindan Khan's Attack and Retreat

Faced with the Ming Dynasty, which was declining but still relatively powerful, the ambitious Lin Danhan did not dare to provoke it too much.

Similarly, after being severely beaten by Huang Taiji, when facing the Later Jin, although he did not flee at the sight of them, he was not far off.

It even made him become cautious when facing the Salvation Army.

Otherwise, he would not have sent only a small force to test the waters earlier.

After those small armies were all wiped out, he began to hesitate.

I wonder if attacking the Salvation Army might be dangerous.

Moreover, the territory that the Salvation Army has just captured will surely be extremely desolate. Even if they win the war, what can they gain?

However, this distance, which seemed insignificant in the past, caused the deaths of 5,000 Mongolian warriors. How could they not be shocked?

By the time the Mongolian cavalry rushed to the city wall, at least thousands of people had died.

After waiting for a long time, some people started to climb up the city wall.

"Humph! This is a major city for entering and leaving Shaanxi Xingdusi.

"attack!"

Of course, there are other ways to attack a city, such as piling up mud and other materials under the city wall, and waiting until the mud reaches the same level as the city wall before the large army launches an attack.

"Retreat! Retreat!"

"Fire arrows!"

Even the people and their armor were split in half, and the weapons they raised to resist were easily swept away.

In the end, only a dozen or so lonely war horses returned with a clatter.

"bang bang bang"

Moreover, he couldn't even take over a mere Acropolis. Wouldn't people look down on him?

"Great Khan, shall we continue to attack?"

At this time, the Mongolian cavalry's attack had just begun.

Moreover, when Lin Danhan led his large forces to launch the attack, they were shocked to discover that the arrows shot by the salvation army were not as far as the three hundred meters they had seen before, but almost reached five hundred meters.

However, when he received the news that the Salvation Army had made a great harvest in its territory, his heart became active again.

"Uh, what about we go directly to Qinghai?"

However, under the dense rain of arrows from the Salvation Army, they were often shot like hedgehogs just as they raised their bows and arrows, and died instantly on the spot.

"bang bang bang"

"Attack, of course we have to attack. I don't believe that our tens of thousands of troops can't take down this small Shandan Acropolis."

"Herod"

And turning your back to the archers is an act of seeking death.

By the time they reached the city and reached shooting range, only more than 3,000 people were left out of the 5,000-man vanguard cavalry.

It's not possible that you have all the divine horses under your crotch, and each of them can jump onto the top of the city wall, right?

In fact, this is of course not the case. In fact, those cavalrymen were carrying hoes.

"Heading to Qinghai?"

The range of the Han people's bows and arrows was basically over 200 meters. Even if they had the advantage of the city wall, they would be lucky if they could reach 300 meters. How could they hit the Mongolian warriors who were so far away?

"Puff puff"

It seems that Lin Dan Khan wants to rely on Mongolian cavalry archery to attack the city wall directly by shooting arrows.

On the city wall of Shandan Wei City, Wang Dahu was speechless as he watched the 5,000 vanguard cavalrymen riding in from the outside.

He saw a white mad dragon rushing towards him.

Along with a loud shout, a series of bowstring sounds were heard on the city wall, and a rain of arrows shot out instantly.

Even the Salvation Army did not achieve three harvests a year.

Is this humanly possible?

When they saw this scene just now, Lin Danhan and others couldn't help but sneer in their hearts.

Facing the Salvation Army who rely on the Great Wall for defense and whose bows and arrows can shoot hundreds of meters, can they really win this war?

Is it possible that Lin Dan Khan is preparing to attack the city on horseback?

The rain of arrows shot from the city wall instantly covered the galloping cavalry.

But there should be a bumper harvest, right?

Otherwise, how could we sell so much food to the outside world?

Moreover, this salvation army is only a new force after all. Can it really compare with their Mongolian cavalry?

In an instant, countless people were shot by arrows and fell off their horses, and were trampled to death in an instant.

In the end, Lin Dan Khan mobilized 50,000 troops, plus 20,000 troops from Turpan, and launched an attack on the Shandan Fortress of the Shaanxi Xingdusi in October of the first year of Chongzhen.

The action continued, arrows were shot one after another, and soon Lindan Khan's vanguard troops suffered heavy casualties.

If now, he just launched an attack and his five thousand vanguard cavalry were wiped out, and then scared away and took a detour, how would he have the face to lead the other Mongolian tribes?

In the end, Lindan Khan decided to launch another attack. It would be best if he could capture the Shandan Fortress, but if not, he would take a detour.

"Puff puff"

Even if they can't win in battle, can't they run away?

Just like when they faced the Ming Dynasty, they just robbed and ran away, right? Then what could the Salvation Army do to them?

However, although he had made the decision in his heart, Lin Danhan, who had just been beaten up, still felt that he should be a little more cautious.

For a while, the sounds of screaming and horse neighing were endless.

The bloodthirsty murderous aura throughout the city was mobilized and quickly merged into the bows and arrows in their hands, bringing them enormous energy.

This time he attacked the Jiumin Army, not only to plunder, but also to save face for the defeat by Huang Taiji.

He wanted to tell the world, especially the Mongolian tribes, that his army, Lin Dan Khan, was not incompetent, but it was because of Huang Taiji's unethical sneak attack that he failed.

"Om~!"

The arrow that turned into a white mad dragon pierced through the bodies of several people, even tearing the bodies of the first few people apart, and then shot and killed a centurion several meters away with another arrow.

These Han people were really stupid. They were clearly more than 300 meters away. Even among their Mongolian cavalry who were good at shooting, not all of them could shoot so far.

Is this the magical power of the legendary People's Salvation Army?

Before he could think about anything else, the white mad dragon had already arrived in front of the army formation.

Wave after wave of arrows killed hundreds and hundreds of people.

The army led by Ligdan Khan was naturally no exception.

However, Wang Dahu doesn't care about these things.

"boom!"

Five hundred meters below Shandan City Wall is a death abyss that swallows lives.

Although it is a bit difficult, it is not impossible to do. You just need to get closer.

Therefore, he sent people to contact the Turpan King Abdullain, preparing to join forces with Turpan to attack the Shaanxi Xingdusi.

However, no matter which method is used, it will inevitably cause the death of a large number of people.

The next moment, his eyes opened incredibly wide.

As for the Lele cart, it is a siege vehicle used to defend against arrows and musket attacks. When it arrives under the city wall, the soldiers hiding behind it will hook the upper wall with an L-shaped long pole hook, and then climb up the wall along the long pole.

Have you ever thought about what we would do if we bypassed it and entered Shaanxi Province and were cut off by the Salvation Army? "

The white air wave was like a mad dragon. Many soldiers along the way felt a sudden explosion in their ears and their ears became deaf in an instant.

"Ah~!"

If we shoot arrows now, isn't that just a pure waste of arrows?

However, what greeted them was not the dawn of victory, but the bright light of a sword.

There were also soldiers pushing horse-drawn carts, charging quickly towards the Shandan Acropolis.

Therefore, carrying hoes was indeed the way the Mongolian cavalry attacked the city. When the cavalry reached the city wall, they would suppress the defenders on the city wall with bows and arrows, and then quickly dig open the city wall with hoes.

Being in a high position, they were already within the firing range of the People's Salvation Army.

"What a coward!"

"Puff puff"

At the same time, he also drew troops to form a cavalry team of 2,000 men, led by him personally, ready to leave the city at any time to give Ligdan Khan a severe blow.

Accompanied by the shouts of the centurions, countless Mongolian cavalrymen, carrying hoes and bows and arrows, began to charge.

"whoosh whoosh"

Forget it, don't worry about whether the arrow hits the target or not, the arrow has to be shot anyway.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of all his archery skills and practice for such a long time?

"Go!"

It was too far away. Even though he had mastered the skill of archery, he still had no way of hitting Lin Danhan who was several miles away.

Looking at the more than ten war horses, the clusters of arrows under the city wall in the distance, and the countless Mongolian warriors and horses that were shot like hedgehogs, Lin Danhan and others all changed color.

When did the archery skills of these Han people become so sharp?

Seeing this scene, Lin Danhan and others felt cold all over.

The bowstring exploded with a thunderous sound, and the arrow instantly cut through the air and shot several miles away.

Wang Dahu raised his hand and ordered all troops to prepare.

Arrows fell one after another, and Mongolian cavalrymen were shot and fell off their horses.

Soon, the vanguard commanded by Lin Danhan arrived more than 500 meters outside the city wall.

But the next moment, they were slapped in the face.

On October 8, Ligdan Khan led his army to launch an attack.

Because this area is a gap in the Great Wall of Shaanxi Xingdusi.

Who knows if the next arrow will kill one of them?

"withdraw!"

However, facing the overwhelming barrage of arrows, their counterattack could only be described as better than nothing.

What's more, Qinghai is also their territory.

On the other hand, Wang Dahu, as the general of Gansu Town, also responded immediately and ordered all places to defend strictly.

As many as more than one thousand, nearly two thousand people, died on the way to the charge.

At the rear of the army, Ligdan Khan, who was hesitating whether to order a retreat, suddenly looked up in the direction of Shandan City as if he had sensed something.

After two more rounds of arrow rain, the remaining Mongolian cavalry could no longer hold on and began to flee after shouting.

After a long time, someone finally asked in a dry voice.

However, Wang Dahu did not give the order to shoot arrows immediately.

Khan Lin's eyes flashed. That was not impossible. They could then take a detour through Turpan and return easily.

In the end, only a few dozen riders escaped from the range of more than 300 meters.

But will Wang Dahu give them the chance to get close?

Seeing that Lin Danhan had not moved forward and even showed signs of withdrawing his troops, Wang Dahu could not help but curse.

However, if he changed his mind like this, wouldn't that be very embarrassing?

"Great Khan, why don't we just take a detour.

Why bother to fight against Shandan Weicheng?"

The only thing they thought before they died was, are these people's salvation soldiers really human? How can they be so powerful?

But it's too late to escape now.

It was only a few hundred meters, and at the speed of the cavalry, it would only take a dozen breaths.

On the top of the city wall, Wang Dahu drew his bow and aimed at the distance, but he never shot.

Just when they were rejoicing at having escaped, another wave of arrows came.

When they arrived here, the remaining 3,000 Mongolian cavalry also began to shoot arrows at the top of the city.

Instead, he waited for a while. When the cavalry entered more than 300 meters and began to draw their bows, Wang Dahu nodded thoughtfully.

At this moment, Lin Danhan and others no longer had the intention to attack the city.

At worst, they can just take a detour.

They attacked Shaanxi Xingdusi from here, wasn't it because there was a big gap in the Great Wall here?
