Chapter 48

Lao Zhu was busy counting the remaining shells. In his mind, artillery has been raised to such a key position as the god of war. He brought in all the shells and artillery that were left in the city, and it turned out that the cauldron was of vital importance! Without it, the losses of the artillerymen do not know how heavy!

The people below reported that the Rabbit had retreated at least six miles, and was far away from the range of the artillery, and it seemed that they were still scared!

It's okay, if you come again, even if there are no shells, I can do it!

Lao Zhu still called Jiang Fei over, muttering that he didn't know what was said in his ear, and Wanli was itching in his heart when he saw it. Up to now, his identity is still only known to Lao Zhu, Jiang Fei, Shen Yun, and Jiang Qi. Even Bo Lian didn't know who he really was, let alone Wei Xuezeng, the old man, as soon as the Mongol army withdrew, he happily ran to the artillery position and asked questions.

He also quietly approached Lao Zhu's side: "What are you talking about?" Let me know too! Today's battle is enjoyable! Joyfully! If there were more than 100 cannons, it would definitely be able to make these 8,000 vanguard troops come and go! ”

Lao Zhu was a little embarrassed, you said to tell him that he was the emperor, but if you didn't tell him, it wouldn't be fun if you buckled a big hat to bully the king. Jiang Fei is the best, he hurriedly invited Wanli aside, saying that this is a burden, I can't say it, it's boring to say it, he and Zhu Yidao are going to show Wanli a big show, and clean up the big drama of the eight thousand Mongolian vanguard army! It would be better if you could clean up the rabbit on the spot, even if you can't clean him up, you have to pull these people off the skin!

Wanli's curiosity was hooked up at once. He was really very curious about these novel things, when Matteo Ricci applied to spread Catholicism in the Ming Dynasty, he was curious, what is Catholicism? Matteo Ricci awkwardly explained that Catholicism was a faith, not a thing, and absolutely beneficial to the emperor. Wanli listened carefully and disagreed, isn't it the set of Buddhism! It's just another way of saying it!

Then Matteo Ricci brought things such as clocks, calendars, and the like, and Wanli accepted them with the same pleasure. Although Da Ming couldn't make these things, he still liked them. Therefore, Matteo Ricci asked to preach in Daming, Wanli thought about it, and it was okay, so he agreed.

Wanli wants to know, what kind of drama have they prepared for themselves? It seems that we will have to wait until the war resumes.

That night, Jiang Fei quietly slipped out of the city gate with three hundred wolves, and took advantage of the darkness of the night to touch the enemy camp. Lao Zhu didn't think that they could sneak attack these grassland men who were better than wolves, they just wanted to bring some trouble to their next attack.

At the same time, Bolian was behind the trench near the city wall, pulling countless triphorses. Densely packed like a spider's web. This doesn't do much for a cavalry attacking in a large group, but it can greatly inhibit the opponent's marching speed, and that's enough.

Jiang Fei and the others planted earthen mines one by one in the ground, and when Zhu Yidao heard that there were a large number of earthen mines in the armory, he was surprised: the mines actually appeared so early?! Jiang Fei disdainfully told him that as early as the pre-Song Dynasty, there were mines, such as the Battle of Xiaoshang River, and the mines laid by Yue Fei made the Jin army suffer enough! These mines have been stored since the time of Taizu and have not been used, and there have been many additions every year, until the Longqing period, when the border defense was gradually relaxed, and the storage of mines was stopped.

But that's it, there is less in the armory, that is, the most mines! After all, this thing has no technical content, and it is a thing used for sneak attacks, and everyone doesn't like to use it very much, and they don't know how to use it, so they just throw it there, and they didn't take it out for him to see until Zhu Yidao heard about it. Jiang Fei didn't expect that Lao Zhu would be interested in this kind of thing.

Where is Lao Zhu interested, it is clearly the admiration for the advanced technology of the Ming Dynasty, and the anger at the decay of the late Qing Dynasty!

Zhu Yidao has already decided that once he has the opportunity to go to Jingshi, he must meet the old gentleman Matteo Ricci!

On both sides and in the middle of the road, there were mines set up by Jiang Fei and his team, and even some small ponds were laid at the request of Lao Zhu. The number of 300 people is limited, and Lao Zhu actually asked to go back and get it again! Continue along the road.

It wasn't until almost dawn that the enemy sentries could already be seen, and Lao Zhu reluctantly muttered to leave. The Mongolian sentinels are also a little strange, what do the Ming army want to do when they are so close to scouting?

After returning to the city, Lao Zhu gained some inspiration from the action of laying mines last night, and asked the wolves to dispatch, and also laid out an unknown number of mines on the narrow flat land between the trenches outside the city. Wei Xue once shook his head when he saw it on the city wall, in his mind, the war is definitely not fought by such obscene means, of course I want to defeat the rebels with a dignified and upright army!

For his pedantic ideas, even Wanli couldn't stand it, of course he knew what kind of old-fashioned old man Wei Xuezeng was, but he didn't say too much, but just told Wei Xuezeng that if he could rely on thousands of old and weak people in the city, he would be able to repel the Mongolian cavalry with a dignified and upright army, and immediately give him the crown prince Shaobao when he went back!

The old man who was agitated by these words immediately took off his official robe and said that he would live and die with the city! Even if you die on the battlefield, it is also the honor of my Ming officials! This kind of extremely Donglin Party's words made Wanli disgusted and ignored him coldly.

As a result, the old man's face was red and purple for a while, and when he was about to threaten to resign, the rabbit set out with a large army again.

This time, the Mongols learned wisely, and they were very scattered, so they were afraid of being hit by the cannon of the Ming Dynasty. But they still couldn't protect themselves from the mines under their feet.

Each explosion meant the death of a horse, the wounding of a cavalryman, leaving the road, also mined by the damned defenders on both sides of the road. It is not known how many mines are waiting for the Mongols ahead.

The rabbit was a little panicked, and the officers below him were also a little panicked. The damage caused by these mines is not huge, but the blow to morale is enormous! Does anyone know if the next one isn't themselves? Does anyone know where there will be mines next?

Gradually, the cavalrymen began to be a little irritable, a little impatient, and began to break away from the ranks, either retreating or running forward. The explosion also brought a lot of fright to the horses, and yesterday's shelling had made the horses adapt to some of these environments, but today's mines made the horses really feel the fear of death! Some of the riders began to be unable to calm the horses, and some were still patiently pacifying the horses, seeing that the morale that had been gathered was about to collapse, and the rabbit made an extremely charming decision:

Some riders jumped off their horses and directed their horses to take the initiative to trample on the mines ahead, in an attempt to get a safe passage with fewer casualties. But many of the leaders of small tribes quit. I am trying to mess with you because you are powerful, and I surrendered to you because I couldn't beat you, but now you let me go to death, that's not good!

But under the high pressure of the rabbit, everyone still chose to obey, because he promised that he would compensate them well after he went back.

Lao Zhu also sighed that the adaptability of this rabbit is not ordinarily strong, and this kind of strong man's broken wrist behavior not only reduces his own losses, but also makes up for the collapsed military spirit. It seems that you can't underestimate these Mongolian barbarians!

The Rabbit has already made up his mind in his heart, even if he can't graze Huamachi this time, he will slaughter the city after defeating this Acropolis!

Lao Zhu calmed down and asked everyone to find a place to hide, and watched coldly as the Mongolian vanguard slowly began to circle around the city, and at the same time began to shoot arrows into the city, and when they ran to the trench, everyone still either bypassed or jumped over.

At this moment, the rabbit was surprised to find that even the narrow flat land in the middle of the trench was covered with mines! The screams of the cavalry were heard in his ears again, and he was about to collapse.

Wanli looked at the Mongolian cavalry in front of him with interest. It turns out that the battle can be fought like this! Originally, he thought that Zhu Yidao didn't fight the enemy head-on because he was timid, but now it seems that this guy still has a lot of brains in battle, and his strength is limited, so he will never collide with you, and he will not passively dodge, but think of various ways to yin you!

Until you lose your most basic calmness and judgment, let me find an opportunity, I will clean you up to death with a thunderous momentum!

This is the opposite of Qi Jiguang's combat ideas, but the loss is smaller than Qi Jiguang's fighting style! And it can be seen from the methods he used to train the wolves that this person is not that kind of rigid character, and under great pressure, he still knows that he is the one who will fight against the ministers after the flexibility! Such a person could not be more suitable!
