Chapter 193: Artifact of Defending the City

The Tatars rode on large horses and rushed all the way up the city walls, and more and more Tatar cavalry rushed up the walls along the Tubao slope, and the sword soldiers also rushed up.

When the rain stopped, more and more Tatars rushed to the city, and as soon as the gates were broken, they would rush in.

Wu Wending remembered Yan Chengjin's words, and said to Yan Kesong: "My lord, when the overseer ordered me to come to Ningxia Mansion, he also brought a thing. ”

"What?"

"Ten thousand enemies!"

Yan Kesong's old face twitched, isn't the prison army the work of eunuchs, how did Cheng Jin become a prison army?

However, hiding and not revealing is his son's style.

For the sake of prudence, Yan Chengjin prepared a set of plans to defend the city, considered various possibilities, and deduced that the troops might come to the city, so he prepared 10,000 enemies.

"Prepare 10,000 enemies!" Yan Ke drank urgently.

Wu Wending hurriedly went to prepare.

The 10,000 enemies are made of hollow mud that has been dried for a long time, leaving a small eye from the top to fill gunpowder, just like making dumplings, and put gunpowder into a wooden barrel and ignite it with a fire letter.

It's a powerful explosive!

Once it rolls into the enemy's camp and explodes, both men and horses will be blown apart, and it is the first firearm to defend the city.

This firearm was not demonstrated during the reading ceremony.

The more saltpeter you put in this thing, the more powerful it becomes.

It is a well-configured gunpowder, and if you are not careful, you will blow up the arsenal, and there are not many 10,000 enemies transported to the border city of Ningxia, only thirty.

Wu Wending hurriedly returned to the equipment warehouse, ordered people to move out the 10,000 enemies, sealed them with wooden boxes, although the rain stopped, it was still necessary to take precautions, and all thirty of them were carried to the city wall.

An adjutant general led the troops to kill the bloody road, leading the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion to the west of the city wall.

The Tatars were a little confused, and only saw a wooden barrel rolling down, and did not know what it was.

The next moment, boom!

Huge firelight.

exploded, and even the dirt bags built up were blown away.

Barrels were dropped from the walls and thrown into the dense Tatar army, booming and booming, and explosions rang out one after another.

Under the wall, there was a fire, and it was blooming everywhere.

Dayan Khan looked at it from afar, and did not know what kind of firearm it was, and was so shocked that he lost his blood, and there was a boom, which was louder than thunder.

The horses panicked and uncontrolled.

I saw that the Tatar warriors abandoned their troops and fled back.

"Mandu, what kind of firearm is this!"

"I have never seen such a firearm in hunting." Mandu was extremely calm, these soldiers were the subordinates of Dayan Khan, not the Ordos Ministry.

But I was also shocked in my heart, Daming still hid such a firearm?

I couldn't help but secretly make up my mind that before defeating Dayan Khan, I would never have a dispute with Da Ming.

It was dark, and after a night of fighting, the gates of the city were not broken.

Dayan Khan knew that the battle was a heavy loss, and sent 5,000 men to attack the city, and only half of them fled.

"It's hard to have such good weather after tonight."

"Is the Great Khan withdrawing?"

"No withdrawal!"

On the city wall of Ningxia,

The Ming soldiers guarding the city wall were all wounded.

Yan Kesong was as tired as a mess of mud, covered in blood, lying on the pile of dead people.

He was slashed twice, one in the back and one in the arm.

But he was happy in his heart, and finally defended it, and the ground was full of military exploits.

In this battle, the Shenji Battalion has made great achievements!

The soldiers of the Ningxia border army suddenly understood why the people of the Shenji Battalion could receive six coins of silver in the moon ring in January, and they became envious when they looked at the Shenji Battalion.

As a Beijing army, the Shenji Battalion came to the border of Ningxia and was not welcomed, and the border army secretly said that the moon they led was high, but they would not fight, and they finally hardened it tonight.

Wu Wending showed a bitter smile, the Shenji Battalion could finally integrate into the Ningxia border army.

Half an hour later, Lin Song came back.

"My lord, Dayan Khan has not withdrawn."

Yan Chengjin held the green steel sword and fought, and through the Song telescope, he saw the military tent of the Tatars, stationed six miles outside the city, in the direction of Helan Mountain, and the city of Ningxia in the distance.

Wang Yue was not there, Dayan Khan coveted the Hetao, Yan Kesong knew how important the Hetao was, and if it was lost here, it would become a gap in the nine sides, and the Tatars could enter the Ming Dynasty at any time to plunder.

Even if they died here, they could no longer allow the Tatars to take over the Loop.

"The Shenji Battalion is equipped with gunpowder."

"Wu Wending takes the order!"

Although the gunpowder on the city wall was damp, the saltpeter and sulfur of the armory were hidden in urns, and the gunpowder was stored, so as long as it did not rain tonight, it could be used on the city wall.

It is not difficult to configure the gunpowder of the Hongyi General.

It is extremely difficult to be an enemy of 10,000 people.

You need to dry the mud, maybe you have to bake it on the stove for half a day before you can use it.

Yan Kesong looked at the exhausted soldiers.

"If you are not injured, go down and pick up the heads and settle the military merits!"

The 10,000-strong enemy killed many Tatars, and under the city walls, there was some cruelty as far as the eye could see, and there were debris everywhere, and there were war horses that were dying and breathing.

After liquidation, this battle killed more Tatars than the battle of Helan Mountain.

Yan Kesong seized the time to bandage and wrote an urgent letter to return to the imperial court, and sent one to Yansui and Gansu.

The Tatar cavalry is extremely capable of loaming, and they run hundreds of miles a day, and they may attack Ningxia tonight, or they may attack the other two sides.

He rested for a while, recuperated and beware of another sneak attack by the Tatars.

As soon as he fell asleep, the pro-army came to report: "My lord, Dayan Khan has sent an envoy. ”

Just after the battle, send people, is it possible to sue for peace?

Yan Ke loosened his clothes and came to the main hall to listen to what Dayan Khan wanted to say.

The Tatar envoy saw Yan Kesong, saluted, and said, "Can you only talk to the adults, and the rest of the people will avoid it?" ”

Lin Song frowned, this Tatar is a head taller than the old man, the old man may not be an opponent in a fight, Dayan Khan has sent messengers to assassinate assassins of other tribes, and he is not particular.

"If you have anything to say, you don't have to avoid me."

The Tatar envoy was embarrassed: "Your Excellency can search my belongings, I only want to talk to your lord alone." ”

Lin Song personally searched his body, except for a letter, there was no sharp weapon.

Yan Ke nodded loosely: "Go out, this official alone is enough." ”

After Lin Song went out, he stayed at the door.

The Tatar envoy handed the letter to Yan Kesong and said: "This is a letter written by Dayan Khan himself, as long as you are willing to sell last night's firearms, Dayan Khan will promise you the most beautiful woman in the grassland, the most fertile pasture, the strongest soldiers and horses, and countless cattle and sheep, so that you can be the lord of the Ordos tribe." ”

"If you want to stay in Daming, it's okay, Dayan Khan will give you gold, silver and jewelry......"

What was written in the letter was not much different from what the man said.

Yan Kesong tore up the letter: "Tell Dayan Khan for the official to let him withdraw his troops within half an hour, otherwise, when the official wakes up, he will definitely look good." ”

The envoy picked up the letter and hurriedly went back to his life.

Yan Kesong slept for half an hour, got up and went straight to the city wall, and through the Song telescope, he still saw Dayan Khan camping in the direction of Helan Mountain.

He took the words of his own official as a deaf ear.

"Shenji Battalion, has the gunpowder been prepared?"

Wu Wending's face was puzzled: "Mix some." ”

"A few shots at the Tatar barracks!"

The Great Horde of Tatars,

A few iron beads fell from the sky and smashed into the big tent, and several Tatars crossed on the spot.

Dayan Khan didn't know what was going on, but he heard a panic outside the account, and the tent was also open, and when he looked up, he saw black spots flying in the sky.

A few more tents were smashed.

"Withdraw!"

This place is seven miles away from the border city of Ningxia, and the big Ming firearms can actually hit here.

Dayan Khan knew that the surprise attack had failed, and the firearms of the Ming Dynasty were too powerful, so the siege could not be captured, and he could not easily start a war with the Ming Dynasty before getting the firearms to compete with the Ming Dynasty.

Then he led the tribe and rushed back to the depths of the grassland.

Yan Kesong saw through the Song telescope that most of the Tatars had withdrawn to the depths of the grassland, and immediately returned to the camp to write a recital, explaining the battle situation of His Majesty's battle and asking for merit for the soldiers.
