"Ma Shiyao's men are good at infantry combat, and the terrain near the north gate is narrow. The Ming army is fighting to the death, so the stalemate is still going on."
"Tell Wu Shoujin to clear out the Ming troops in the city and occupy Dalinghe Fort before dark!"
"yes."
Although Man Dahai gave a death order, he knew in his heart that this order was too much to ask.
The area near the north gate is very narrow. No matter how many soldiers are sent into the city, they can only line up at the back and wait for the attack.
Unless they enter the city from the north gate and attack Ma Shiyao from both inside and outside.
But Li Xingzhong was just outside the north city gate. If they wanted to attack Ma Shiyao from both sides, they had to capture Li Xingzhong.
After the messenger left, Man Dahai looked into the distance.
There are two flags there.
One side is the flag of the Ming Dynasty, and the other side is the flag of Li Xingzhong, the central army general.
After a morning of fighting, he realized that Li Xingzhong was very difficult to deal with.
Even though he had the advantage in terms of military strength, he was unable to defeat the enemy.
Whenever the Ming army's formation showed signs of wavering, Li Xingzhong would personally take to the battlefield.
Under his leadership, the morale of the Ming army was greatly boosted.
"Shangshan!" Man Dahai said to the person beside him.
"I am here!" Shang Shan of the Zhenglan Banner urged his horse to come to Man Dahai.
"Later, you and I will take turns attacking Li Xingzhong's central army, and tire him out with a round-the-clock battle. Once Li Xingzhong's central army is defeated, the Liaodong cavalry under his command will collapse without a fight."
"I obey your command."
Over the next hour or so, Man Dahai and Shang Shan took turns attacking Li Xingzhong's central army.
Li Xingzhong was exhausted, and the soldiers under his command were also tired.
The sun was setting and evening was approaching.
Man Dahai and Shang Shan joined forces and launched another charge.
"kill!"
The Eight Banners soldiers turned into a sharp blade and stabbed straight towards Li Xingzhong.
Li Xingzhong had several arrows stuck in his body, but he felt no pain.
Because his heart was full of anger and there was no room for pain.
Looking at the Eight Banners soldiers galloping over, Li Xingzhong took a deep breath, pointed his sword at the sky, raised his arms and shouted: "Are there still loyal ministers and filial sons in my Ming Dynasty?"
"We are willing to fight alongside you, sir!" the soldiers around him answered loudly.
"We are willing to fight alongside you, sir!" The soldiers around the personal guard raised their weapons and shouted.
"We are willing to fight alongside you, sir!" All the soldiers in the central army shouted in unison.
"We are willing to fight alongside you, sir!" All the Ming troops on the battlefield roared hysterically.
"The Ming army is mighty! Kill!" Li Xingzhong thrust his sword forward, signaling a charge.
Boom——
Amid the deafening sound of iron hooves, two steel torrents collided with each other.
