Late at night

Lin Danhan's tens of thousands of cavalry have all gathered outside the east of the city. He waited quietly. As soon as the fire came out and the city gate opened, he would immediately lead his troops and rush in.

Nearly a quarter of an hour later, Tanqi reported that there was already the sound of swords and armor in the city, and there was a faint light of fire. Lin Danhan shouted that the time had come, lit a torch and led the horses to set off.

The Ming army observing on the top of the city saw a bright light outside the city and shouted in a low voice:

"The Tartars are coming!"

Upon hearing this, the Ming army under the city quickly opened the city gate and also lit up torches as if to respond.

Lin Danhan was not at ease at first, after all, this was going too smoothly, but when he saw that the city gate was wide open, he didn't care about anything and directly ordered to mount his horse and charge.

When they were only thirty steps away from the city gate, under Wang Meng's command, the cannon on the city head made a loud noise.

At the same time, the Ming army's torches and rockets were thrown out like a heavy rain for free, and the Mongolian cavalry was caught off guard again.

The torches and rockets fell to the ground and quickly ignited the kerosene on the ground, turning the place into a sea of ​​​​fire.

The horses on which the Mongolians sat down immediately began to become frantic and out of control. Even though these Mongolian knights had superb equestrian skills, they could not do anything at this time.

But there was no retreat at this time. Lin Danhan waved his saber and shouted:

"Don't panic. There is only one target city gate. As long as we rush in, we will win. Warriors, the great Genghis Khan will protect us!"

When the Mongolian cavalry approached the city gate, the narrow opening of the city gate was like the mouth of a giant beast. The most powerful firearm of the Ming army, the Hundred Tigers' Rockets, had been waiting for a long time.

"put!"

At such a close distance, as long as a rocket hits the target, it will immediately affect its surroundings.

The Ming army on top of the city also launched a second wave of counterattack. They placed ceramic jars and earthen jars filled with gunpowder on light catapults and launched them at the sea of ​​​​fire below the city.

Hundreds of Ming troops ambushing on both sides also took advantage of the chaos and entered the designated position. They carried a swarm of bees and fired at the Mongols' rear formation indiscriminately.

The Mongolian cavalry was in chaos and began to flee in all directions. The night battle was not only a major test for the Ming army, but also for the Mongols.

Infantry and cavalry fought at night. The infantry had the advantage, and the Mongols were not prepared at all for the side where the Ming army ambushed. Although there were few people, it was the best opportunity to defeat the enemy at night.

Although war horses have night vision and can see everything clearly at night, humans do not. As long as there is a little confusion, the entire army can be destroyed immediately. This is the case with the Mongols now.

"Great Khan, we have fallen into a trap!"

"Great Khan, give the order to retreat quickly!"

Lin Danhan was unwilling to give up. He lost miserably in this battle. He even couldn't accept it for a while, but after everyone's repeated advice, he still issued the order to withdraw his troops.

Seeing that the Mongols were defeated and fled, the Ming army did not pursue them. This battle was already a great victory. If they pursued them with this small force, they might be killed by others.

Although this night battle only lasted a short quarter of an hour, the results of this battle were extremely rich. The Mongols left countless corpses and fled in panic, without even having time to collect the corpses.

The Ming army shouted wildly on top of the city:

"Thank you to the Great Khan for sending me the first-class military honor!"
