Chapter 143: Kublai Khan is going south

Huang Qiang did not order the archers to stop shooting, and the fire was still spreading. The shouts below are starting to weaken!

Smelling the aroma similar to barbecue, Huang Qiang couldn't help but feel a wave of overturning in his stomach!

And most of the recruits of the cavalry battalion are already vomiting! This kind of sour smell is not something that ordinary people can bear.

Even those veterans, there are also some people who can't help but vomit "wow" there!

Huang Qiang knew that he couldn't mess up at this time, and there were still thousands of Mongolian cavalry outside the encirclement?

Although Huang Qiang had already sent 5,000 heavy cavalry to intercept it, the Mongols were brave, and he had to guard against it.

And so. He then used his aura and shouted loudly: "Zhuangzhi is hungry for Hulu meat, laughing and talking about thirsty for Xiongnu blood! Soldiers, these Mongolian Tatar slaves invaded our rivers and mountains, killed my people, and humiliated my sisters! Today, we are waiting for the barbecue Tatar slaves, and we are ashamed of our blood! How magnificent...... Brothers, kill the Tars!"

"Kill the Tartars, kill the Tartars, kill the Tartars!"

Suddenly, the soldiers, who were still vomiting, immediately forcibly stopped the discomfort in their stomachs and began to shout with the veterans to kill the Tartar slaves. The morale of the Ming army suddenly rose unprecedentedly high!

After determining that the Mongolian cavalry burned below had no chance of survival. Huang Qiang ordered everyone to form a team and killed the remaining Mongolian cavalry in the rear.

Where were the thousands of Mongol troops who had lost much morale still the opponent of this fifteen-thousand-thriving Ming army? In less than half an hour, they were all wiped out outside the valley!

In this battle, Huang Qiang led 15,000 people to ambush and kill 35,000 Mongolian reinforcements in the mountain col where the Qinling Mountains exited Weishui.

Since then, the Mongol army on Jingzhao West Road has only less than 20,000 people left in Xi'an.

That night, Huang Qiang led an army that had lost only a few dozen heavy cavalry and returned to the camp outside Xi'an.

That night, everyone celebrated again!

Huang Qiang celebrated here, the prince in the city was not comfortable!

When he learned that the reinforcements from the two cities had been annihilated in the Qinling Mountains, he immediately sat on the ground with a bald butt and was silent for a long time! As for Wang Shixian, who was standing aside, he didn't dare to speak, and he didn't dare to move!

The two of them were clubbed in the study, like a figure painting.

It wasn't until it was more than an hour after it had been dark that the sound of howling and crying came from the study.

"Ahh............h

The next morning, from the palace, there was news that the prince had hanged himself.

Suddenly, the city of Xi'an was full of chickens and dogs!

Wang Shixian temporarily assumed the post of supreme military commander of Xi'an City, responsible for the defense of Xi'an City. The aftermath of the prince was naturally left to the Mongols themselves!

Wang Shixian thought that the besieging Ming army would attack the city immediately after eliminating the reinforcements, but he waited on the city tower for a day, but he did not see the slightest movement in the Ming army camp. For a while, he was worried, and the enemy he couldn't see through was the most terrifying! His heart couldn't help but be raised!

Huang Qiang was not without action, he had already sent a large number of people who did not collect the night and quietly sneaked into the city gate to prepare for the next siege.

At the same time, Guo Jing and Huang Rong's side also thoroughly cleaned up Tangzhou, and through land reform, the Ming army won the hearts of the people! Young people enthusiastically joined the army, if not for anything else, but for the dozens of acres of land obtained by their families, and they also had to join the army, otherwise who would defend these?

Within a few days, Guo Jing and Huang Rong recruited 100,000 recruits. want

It's not that there is not enough food and grass, and it is not a problem to recruit another 50,000.

Guo Jing also left 10,000 veterans as the backbone of the new battalion, forming a cavalry battalion of 20,000, an archery battalion of 30,000, a sword and shield battalion of 20,000, and a spear battalion of 30,000.

Leaving the two lieutenant generals to lead the recruits to defend Tangzhou, Guo Jing and Huang Rong took 40,000 veterans and went straight to Caizhou.

At this time, the Mengyuan court also got the news of the northern expedition of the Xiangyang army.

At this time, in the palace of Ha Thorn and Lin, where the Mongolian imperial court was located, Meng Ge smashed the second gold-inlaid bone cup in his hand. Roaring loudly.

"Fuck off, is he still a descendant of Genghis Khan, he is so useless! More than 100,000 horses were defeated by him like this, what a fool!"

The faces of the Mongolian nobles at the head were different, some were gloating, some were ruthless, some were worried, some wanted to watch the play on the side, and some were ready to move and want to go south immediately to kill the Quartet.

Kublai Khan, who was sitting at the head of Meng Ge, looked at the expressions of everyone in the hall with cold eyes, suddenly stood up, and after hugging Meng Ge's chest, he said: "Great Khan, I am willing to be born and die for you, to pacify those southern barbarians!"

Meng Ge glanced at his brother, nodded and said, "Okay, brother, I'll leave the matter of quelling the chaos to you." If you need something, you can recruit it yourself!

"Xie Da Khan!" Kublai Khan replied and went out!

Meng Ge looked at the back of his brother going out, nodded silently, took a glass of mare's milk wine on the table, and poured it down in one gulp.

After Kublai Khan left the inner palace, he returned home, explained and ran to Dianjiangtai with his generals.

The Mongols were generally herders when they were not fighting, and they did not have many fixed troops. If there is a war, as long as the main general goes to Dianjiangtai to blow the horn, it is the turn of the herdsmen who go out to fight will take the initiative to gather near Dianjiangtai!

After more than an hour, no less than 50,000 cavalry had gathered near Dianjiangtai, most of them were one man with three horses, and some were one with four horses, but there were not many.

When Kublai Khan saw that the people who had come were almost there, he waved his hand and led the more than 50,000 Mongol cavalry out of the outer city of Hazan and Lin and headed south.

The destination of Kublai Khan's trip was the Jinlian River area in the upper reaches of Luanshui, and he was going to join the troops of Liu Bingzhong, the general of the Great Jin Surrender there, and then make the next step!

Today's Meng Yuan has just destroyed Dajin and is still digesting, plus Meng Ge has just obtained the position of Great Khan from his uncle, Wokotai, and he still needs to rectify the various forces within Mongolia. There is simply not much capacity to go south.

This gave Huang Qiang an opportunity for their Northern Expeditionary Army.

Back to Huang Qiang, in the camp of the Ming army, some craftsmen from nearby were making some strange objects.

The first thing that Huang Qiang wanted to make was a kind of repeating crossbow, which was made by Zhuge Liang of Shu during the Three Kingdoms period, also known as the Yuanrong crossbow, which could be equipped with ten arrows at a time, and had strong firepower, mainly used to defend cities and camps. Ma Jun, the great inventor of the late Han Dynasty, wanted to improve it and make it a fifty-arrow repeater, which was more powerful. The range is longer, and it can shoot one hundred and twenty steps.

And the second is the bed crossbow, the three-bow bed crossbow, also known as the "eight-bull crossbow", the arrow is made of hard wood as the arrow shaft, the iron piece is the feather, the world is known as "one gun and three sword arrows", the bed crossbow can also be fired "stepping arrow", when it is launched, it is magnificent, the arrow is like a javelin, and the close-range launch can be directly nailed into the city wall, when the salvo is fired, the rows of pedal arrows are firmly nailed into the city wall, and the siege soldiers can take advantage of this to climb up.

The third type is the chariot, which appeared in the ancient fortifications, and is pointed and can reduce the cannon

The destructive power of stone.

This weapon is a tool for attacking fortified positions, transporting soldiers to the city, and covering the soldiers to dig tunnels or carry out other fortified operations, and people are hiding in them, and the enemy is helpless.

This type of equipment is generally not complicated, but it must be sturdy and shaped like a mobile house. The wooden frame is thick, the planks are thick, and the outer cover is covered with raw cowhide to resist the blows of stone arrows. The underside of this type of cart is empty, and the soldier hides in the cart and pushes the cart forward, which is the so-called "upper real and lower empty".

The fourth kind is the fierce fire oil tank, the fire cabinet is fueled by the fierce fire oil, and the cabinet is made of wrought copper, the cabinet has 4 feet, there are 4 copper pipes on it, and the pipe is transversely placed on the pump, which communicates with the oil tank. The front part of the pump is a "fire building" with ignition powder inside.

When in use, the red-hot cone ignites the ignition powder in the "fire tower", and then pulls the pump vigorously to put pressure on the air in the oil tank, and then causes the fierce fire oil to burn into a flame when it is sprayed out of the "fire tower", so as to burn the enemy and its equipment.

These things were all designed by Huang Qiang himself based on his memories in the real world. This is the reason why Huang Qiang besieged the city of Xi'an but did not attack it.

Although this world is not the world where Huang Qiang is located, and the people in this world are not the people of his own world, he still loves the soldiers under his command very much!

He was not willing to sacrifice his soldiers in vain, so he came up with these sharp siege machines!

Three days later, the Ming army built a total of 5,000 crossbows, all equipped with archers, built 500 bed crossbows, and selected 2,000 people from the cavalry battalion to operate. 500 chariots were built, and 2,000 soldiers were dispatched from the cavalry battalion to operate them. In the end, 300 fierce fire oil tanks were built, and the last 1,000 soldiers of the cavalry battalion controlled them.

After another day of control training, after the soldiers could control their equipment, on the morning of the fifth day, Huang Qiang launched an attack on Xi'an City.

Five thousand soldiers of the cavalry battalion, pushing their own equipment, followed by five thousand light cavalry and one thousand heavy cavalry, came to the south gate, west gate and east gate of Xi'an City, Huang Qiang each sent two thousand heavy cavalry to guard, leaving only the north gate unguarded.

Two thousand lathe crossbowmen, pushing five hundred huge crossbows, came to a distance of three hundred paces outside the city wall, lined up, and began to load javelins one meter and a half long on the bed crossbows.

The chariot soldiers and the fierce fire tank soldiers are ready to move after them!

The light cavalry, armed with crossbows, walked a hundred paces outside the city, and the crossbows fired at the walls.

The Mongolian army on the city wall used the Mongolian horn bow with a range of about 80 steps, while the Ming army's crossbow range was 120 steps, so at this time, the Mongolian army on the city wall was only beaten.

And at this time, the bed crossbow also began to fire, and the sound of the "buzzing" javelin flight made people feel chills in their hearts!

The Mongol troops, who hid slowly on the city walls, or did not hide tightly, were shot from time to time. It was okay to be shot by a repeater, and he rolled on the ground and cried in pain.

Some people were shot by the javelins fired by the bed crossbow, and were directly carried out by the powerful power, falling out of the city wall and shattering their bones! Some were shot in the head, and suddenly a big head exploded like a watermelon, which was miserable!

For a while, the Mongols who saw these hid in the wall and stomped on the wall, never daring to show their heads again!

Wang Shixian hid on the arrow tower, and when he saw this scene, he broke out in a cold sweat! Knowing that this time was going to be over, the Ming army had such a siege weapon, what else could he use to defend the city?
