171. Opportunity

Since Taiping took command of those three thousand elites, his luck seems to have gotten better, and this good luck has not only not diminished over time, but has continued.

As soon as Taiping's luck was good, Tartar's luck naturally worsened.

Feng Xuan copied King Ning's mansion and got a lot of money and food, and he didn't feel distressed at all when he made a firearm. What's more, although firearms have been consumed, whether it is mines, 10,000 enemies or □□ tied to giant arrows, the cost is not high, unlike the giant cannons of later generations, a shell is a lot of money.

So when this war of attrition started, Daning can be said to be full of confidence.

But the Tartars are different, except for the first and second tentative attacks, the losses are not very large, and the three strong attacks launched by Ye Zhu in the back are all extremely tragic, adding up to nearly 30,000 dead, under such huge losses, of course the Tartars will not do it.

Although Ye Chay tried his best to win a battle to save his prestige, but with the repeated defeats, everyone became more and more dissatisfied with him, and he did not dare to continue to be tough, so he could only adopt a roundabout strategy, intending to give up this difficult bone and gnaw it in another place.

But later, Taiping led people to sneak attack several times, but it annoyed the Tartars.

At this moment, it rained for days!

There are also witch doctors in the Tartars, but the technology cannot be compared with the doctors in the Central Plains, although the rain is not heavy, but it keeps falling, which is really irritating.

These days are attacked from time to time, many Tartars have been tense, and they come from the steppe to fight, the supply can't keep up at all, plus the Taiping once burned down a grain and grass warehouse for them, these days, many Tartar soldiers can't even fill their stomachs

So as soon as it rained, the soldiers started a fire. However, the herbs are limited, and it is impossible for them to use them as low-level soldiers. If you are lucky, they can survive it, and if you are unlucky, you can only wait for death.

Looking at the dripping rain, many Tartars began to retreat in their hearts, and began to regret following Ye to attack Daning.

However, Ye Zhu was rare to be shrewd at this time, and the rain kept coming, didn't it mean that Daning couldn't use firearms?

Ye Zhu's mind suddenly moved, and after hesitating, he planned to take advantage of this opportunity to launch a strong attack!

He now has no way out, and if he waits any longer, their food and grass will soon run out, and as the weather gets colder and colder, the difficulty of the battle will inevitably increase.

The people of the Central Plains can still hide in the city wall, but they can't help it!

So, this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity must be seized!

Yes did expect it to be good, because the rain was incessant, and the ground became very muddy, and once the crude mines were buried, the rain would seep in and soak the gunpowder inside.

And the fuse of the enemy will also be extinguished by the rain.

Obviously, the current situation is extremely unfavorable for Daning.

It's just that Ye Chai forgot that one of the advantages of the Tartars is an iron horse, and the other is a bow and arrow, and now the rain does not stop, and the arrow feathers made of feathers will be wet by the rain, affecting the accuracy.

Not only that, but the rain screen can also be a huge drag on the arrows.

This means that they can no longer use bows and arrows against their enemies.

Although the Daning people also can't use bows and arrows, they have the advantage of the city wall, they can throw stones and rolling logs on the city wall, and even they can use □□!

□□ is different from bows and arrows, although it seems simple and easy to operate, in fact, the flexibility is not comparable to that of bows and arrows, and the range of ordinary arm-open crossbows is far inferior to that of bows and arrows.

However, if you shoot at close range, especially vertically from top to bottom, □□ will be very unaffected by the rain. If there is someone else who is in charge of winding, the power of the □□ is even more terrifying.

Just when the Tartars were dying some time ago, the ordnance factory in charge of He Kun not only made a lot of □□ and arrows, but also made more than a dozen hedgehog-like chariots for the sake of insurance.

Not only was the chariot filled with long, hard wooden spikes, but as soon as the person in charge of the chariot pressed the mechanism, all the wooden spikes would burst out like scattered flowers.

Because the design and production are relatively rough, the accuracy must not be mentioned. But if they are in front of the army, such a chariot will cause them a lot of trouble.

Just as the Tartar army appeared in the rain with a bang, ready to take advantage of Daning's inability to use firearms to fight back, Feng Xuan quickly gave them a taste of despair.

Just as the soldiers approached the city, countless Tartars erected ladders to climb up, and the dense crowd pushed the battering ram over, countless earthen pots suddenly fell on the city wall.

The crockpots were so rough that they fell from the high walls and fell apart. Immediately after, a black viscous liquid was sprinkled on the tartar.

Tartar was very vigilant at first, thinking that Daning was throwing poison, but later found that in addition to the smell was a little unpleasant, it was not corrosive, so he was bold again, thinking that Daning people had been forced to be anxious.

Until more and more clay pots were thrown down, and more and more Tartars climbed the ladder, and when they were about to reach the top, the shield soldier holding the large shield suddenly knocked the ladder down, and then a rocket suddenly shot down from the wall.

The rocket came in an instant, and in an instant, it was on the ground, shooting into a puddle of black goo.

As soon as the beating flames came into contact with those black stickies, the flames instantly swelled, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into a sea of fire.

Soon, the flames engulfed all the people under the walls. Even though the rain was not stopping, the flames did not weaken at all, making people more and more desperate.

When the Tartar infantry, who had been rushing forward one after another, saw this scene, their faces turned pale in an instant, and they instinctively retreated.

The previous firearms were just that, after all, the lethality was limited, but this sea of fire was really desperate!

However, they soon discovered that due to the non-stop rain, a lot of water had accumulated on the ground, and those black viscous liquids were spreading directly towards them along the water on the ground!

At this time, some people were shocked to find that they didn't know when someone had dug out thin ditches on the ground. There was already a lot of water in the ditch, so those black viscous liquids spread directly down the ditch, and at the same time, the flames kept approaching!

The Tartars, who had never seen such a strange scene, only felt that this scene was even more terrible than hell, and they were afraid that the fire would spread to their bodies, so they did not dare to attack again, but kept retreating in a hurry.

As soon as Feng Xuan saw these people retreating, he immediately ordered someone to blow the horn.

So the next moment, Taiping, who had long been in ambush, immediately led the cavalry into the formation.

This time was unlike any before, the Tartars were completely frightened, and fled in such confusion that no one was in the mood to resist the enemy. In addition, many of these people have not eaten enough for days and are sick again, this is the time to be weak, where can they resist the wolf-like Taiping and others?

Their bodies were already very weak, and they were able to come here and fight hard because of a hope in their hearts—as long as they entered the city, they could be fed, they could heal, and they could grab gold, silver, and women!

Now that they have seen the terrible methods of the Daning people, the hope in their hearts has completely come to naught, and the weakness of their bodies is naturally revealed.

No one bothered to deal with those Daning's cavalry, and everyone had only one thought in their hearts - escape, flee far away!

The Tartars lost their armor, the wolves were unbearable, and the rout was even more casualties, plus there were some who were scattered intentionally or unintentionally, and the original army suddenly dropped by nearly 100,000 in number.

After a huge defeat, Ye Chai could no longer restrain his allies and men, and the army soon split into several groups and fled towards the steppe.

And behind them, there were the Daning cavalry who were in hot pursuit. Among them, there are 3,000 elites led by Taiping.

The capital, the palace of diligence.

Gao Zixin looked at the good news sent from Daning and was immediately overjoyed. However, Feng Xuan deliberately concealed Taiping's affairs, so Gao Zixin didn't know until now that Taiping not only did not follow Empress Yuan to reincarnate, but also reborn in Daning and let himself go.

As soon as he was happy, he deliberately went to Cining Palace to report the good news to the He family, and teased his son by the way.

Bao'er is almost five months old, and she looks very energetic. When Gao Zixin arrived, He was coaxing him to eat fish paste. This little bastard has been a foodie since he was a child, and although he is a little picky, he has always eaten more than children of the same age.

Although it is less than five months now, his body has developed to the same size as He Kun's son.

As soon as he saw Gao Zixin, he immediately raised his chubby little arms excitedly and beckoned to Gao Zixin. It's just that as soon as his arm was raised, he seemed to think of something again, and immediately took his arm back, snorted very arrogantly, and turned his head to ignore Gao Zixin.

Gao Zixin was suddenly dissatisfied, he took time out of his busy schedule to see his son, and his son actually gave him a face!

He walked over quickly, directly snatched the bowl and spoon in He's hand, and saw Bao'er looking at him with blank eyes, so he teased Bao'er: "If you call your father, you will have something to eat, otherwise I won't give you food." ”

Although Bao'er didn't quite understand what he meant, seeing that Gao Zixin had already taken away the small bowl, Bao'er instantly understood - this was to grab food from him!

As soon as she reacted, Bao'er immediately flattened her small mouth and looked at Gao Zixin aggrievedly: "Eat!" "It's him who eats!

Gao Zixin refused to give up, to be precise, since Bao'er could say the word "eat" three days ago, Gao Zixin began to coax him to call him "Father", and after repeated failures, Gao Zixin and Bao'er were on the bar.

He held the small bowl that belonged to Bao'er, and deliberately smelled it in front of Bao'er, then picked up a small spoon and scooped it up, and was about to send it to his mouth.

As soon as Bao'er saw that the rations were about to be eaten by Gao Zixin, could she bear it?

So the next moment, Gao Zixin suddenly heard Bao'er's voice: "Emperor! ”
