Chapter 57 Ambush Timur!
"Quick, plug the gap!"

Timur drew a knife in his hand and forced the surrounding soldiers to defend the city wall with weapons.

When Han Cunhou saw this, he was already panicked. If Timur hadn't been watching, he would have given up his arms and surrendered.

Because, Han Cunhou saw Zhang Zhiyuan and Ma Bao from a pile of rammed earth and rubble.

Half of Zhang Zhiyuan's body was buried in the soil, only showing a bloodless face, clearly dead.

The other Ma Bao, with blood all over his head and face, already exhales more air than inhales, a resounding man who is about to die.

At this time, the Red Scarf Army outside the city sounded the sound of war drums.

Boom boom boom!
dong dong!

Following the command of the drums, all the red scarf soldiers took the posture of preparing to attack.

However, when the dust on the Dingyuan city wall was scattered, Zhu Yuanzhang did not immediately order an attack.

"These dog tartars reacted really fast, and they have already guarded the gap!" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a frown.

Although there was a huge gap in the city wall of Dingyuan far away, a group of defenders had already blocked half of it with bricks and wood.

"Brother, wait a little longer, anyway, the east side of the city is about to explode, let Xu Da lead the army to attack from the east side first." Zhu Han said with a smile.

He had already seen that the troops on the city wall began to gather towards the west side of the city wall. Obviously, the Dingyuan defenders planned to concentrate their forces to guard the west side of the city wall.

In this way, the offensive pressure on the east wall of the rebel army was much reduced.

"okay!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and immediately sent fast horses to send orders to Zhou Dexing and Xu Da, letting them attack first.

Timur in Dingyuan City finally breathed a sigh of relief when the rebels outside the city stood still.

Fortunately, I commanded well and responded in a timely manner, allowing the surrounding soldiers to carry wood and masonry to block the gap.

"Come here, pass on my military order to demolish all the houses here, and move all the beams, wood, bricks and stones to block the gap!" Timur commanded the soldiers to start demolishing the surrounding houses.

Facing the ferocious officers and soldiers of the Yuan army, the people who had their houses demolished could only cry helplessly. They did not dare to have any objections, because those who objected had already been killed by a single blow.

After a lot of work, Timur commanded the soldiers to finally build a low wall one foot high on the gap in the city wall. The soldiers on the wall still threw wood and bricks from above to continue to fill the gap.

Timur personally led [-] elite soldiers, waiting in an array at the gap, and then prepared to fight desperately with the Red Turban Army.

Just when Timur was almost ready and was about to breathe a sigh of relief.

suddenly.

There was another dull bang.

This time the loud noise was a little far away, as if it came from the east city.

"It's over!"

Timur climbed up the city wall and looked towards the east side of Dingyuan City, and his heart suddenly turned cold.

To the east of Dingyuan City, another huge cloud of dust rose up.

Obviously, the city wall to the east of Dingyuan City has also been attacked.

"Quick, come with me!"

With a roar, Timur led his [-] elites and rushed towards the east of the city again.

Just halfway through, there was a burst of shouting and killing from the east wall.

The attacking direction of the red scarf thief was obviously on the east wall.

"quick!"

Timur slapped his mount and galloped forward.

He didn't go very far again when he saw a group of officers and soldiers of the Yuan army fleeing here head-on.

While running, these rout soldiers let out horrified cries.

"Failed!"

"The red scarf thief is here!"

"Escape!"

Seeing this rout, Timur almost turned his back angrily.

At this time, after two loud bangs, the defenders in the city were already in extreme panic. If this panic was allowed to spread, they would really be defeated.

"Run away, kill me!"

When Timur gave an order, a group of soldiers waved their weapons and rushed forward, regardless of whether they were friendly or not, they immediately killed indiscriminately.

The defeated soldiers who had only been killed were crying for their fathers and mothers, thinking of fleeing to the streets and alleys on both sides.

Oh oh oh!
Suddenly a loud horn sounded from the front, and a huge red flag was waving over Dingyuan City.

"Quick, follow me to take back the city wall!"

Timur was shocked when he saw this, knowing that the thieves had captured the city wall, he didn't dare to delay any longer, if he didn't hurry up and take back the city wall, then the red scarf thieves would pour into Dingyuan City continuously.

Timur led the soldiers and horses to rush forward, and suddenly there was a rumbling sound of horseshoes head-on.

The soldiers of the Yuan army panicked and stopped in fear.

rumble!

The east gate of Dingyuan City was wide open, and hundreds of cavalry rushed into the city through the gate.

A leading member of the Red Scarf Army generals was wearing cold light armor and charged towards Timur and the others with a spear in his hand.

"Grandpa is Xu Da, the Tartars are here to take their lives!"

I saw the general of the red scarf bandit shouted and led the cavalry to charge over.

Seeing this, Timur wanted to turn his horse's head and return to his own formation to seek cover.

However, panicked soldiers blocked the road, preventing Timur from turning an inch.

"Quick, rush to me!"

Timur was furious, and he simply became ruthless, lashing the surrounding soldiers with a whip, making them turn back and attack.

kill!
Under a burst of persecution, these soldiers roared and prepared to fight.

However, before they had time to complete their formation, hundreds of cavalry led by Xu Da had already rushed over.

All of a sudden, the Yuan army in the front row screamed, all kinds of bones were smashed, and the sound of weapons falling rang out.

"Kill the Tartars!"

"Whoever descends shall be spared death!"

Xu Da led the Xiao cavalry to charge repeatedly while shouting slogans to disturb the enemy's morale.

Sure enough, in the face of the tiger-like cavalry of the Red Scarf Army, most of the yuan soldiers immediately lost their fighting spirit.

They either fled to the sides, or dropped their weapons and surrendered before the formation.

When Timur saw this, his heart was ashamed.

The red scarf army attacked suddenly, except for the [-] mobile troops, the rest of the defenders were scattered everywhere, and it was impossible to concentrate on counterattack.

Now that this group of soldiers has been defeated, he no longer has the ability to defend Dingyuan City.

"drive!"

Timur stepped on the soldiers in front of him blocking the way, and rushed towards the west wall of Dingyuan.

There are still many soldiers of Han Cunhou there, who can protect him to break out of the city.

Although if Dingyuan City is lost, he will probably be dismissed from office and questioned, but in the end, he can save his life.

but.

When Timur ran halfway, he suddenly saw a huge red flag raised on the west wall.

The sun and moon logo on the red flag made Timur's heart stop beating.

"It's over, it's really over!"

Timur paled and stopped.

"Whoever descends shall be spared death!"

"Kill the Tartars!"

As the shouts gradually approached, Timur knew that Han Cunhou of the west city wall had probably surrendered, otherwise it would be impossible to change the flag on the top of the city without even shouting for killing.
