416 "Allies"
I saw that the inside of the Ming army's earthen wall, under the faint illumination of the firelight, threw out large things, and the trajectory of a parabola fell on the outside of the earthen wall, blazing. In the blink of an eye, more fire erupted, and it spun around.
Jian Yu just attacked, and when he was caught off guard, many people's bodies were sprayed with fire, and even some unlucky ghosts happened to be sprayed on their faces, and they suddenly screamed, and they threw away their weapons and covered their faces and fell to the ground.
Moreover, the spinning thing seemed to be still smoking, and most of the people in the building were not burned by the fire, but one by one they lost their weapons, covered their mouths and noses, and even some of them had already coughed loudly and ran back.
This kind of thing, the Ming army threw out more than one, but according to the number of prisoners in person, which was enough to cause considerable confusion to the prisoners. Then on this opportunity, the Ming army in the earthen wall took the opportunity to shoot arrows, and the fire of fire, and another wave of harvest.
"Ten thousand enemies!" When Azig came to his senses, he cried out.
This thing, when he attacked Changli County, he suffered a loss. But he hasn't encountered it since. However, because of the great loss, the name of this weapon to defend the city was remembered by him.
He really didn't expect that after so many years, when he was fighting against the Ming army on the side of Guihua City, he would see this weapon to defend the city again. He didn't know that in fact, the 10,000-strong enemy had already used it in the battle of Pyongyang, but he wasn't there.
This winter, the cold wind blowing from the north happened to attack the north gate, and the wind blew from north to south, just as the poisonous smoke spewed out by the ten thousand enemies, it was all rewarded to the Jianyu.
Although Jierharang didn't know that this weapon to defend the city was originally called ten thousand enemies, but after he saw this thing thrown out, the Qing warriors were suddenly defeated, and they couldn't stand at all, except for those who reacted quickly and fled back at the beginning, the others were basically smoked by poisonous smoke, and then hit a bow and arrow, lead bullet or something, and they didn't die because they were lying there coughing and wasting to struggle before they died.
To be honest, at this time, Zilharang really felt a sense of powerlessness from the bottom of his heart. He had a feeling that the Ming Kingdom was too powerful!
It is not that the Ming Kingdom has a vast territory and a large population, but the various weapons that emerge in an endless stream of the Ming army are far superior to the bows, arrows, knives and guns of the Qing Dynasty. In the past, I always felt that those things were all fancy and useless, and they were far less practical than the bows and arrows and swords and guns of the Qing Dynasty.
However, now, he has learned many times, not that he is useless, but that the previous Ming Kingdom was corrupt and incompetent, and the shoddy system was so shoddy that it could not exert its due power. Now that the emperor of the Ming Kingdom is so powerful, these things that he used to think were useless have exerted the power they should have, and it is difficult to parry the Qing Dynasty.
He does not know that this is the gap between civilization and barbarism. With the advancement of technology, this gap will only get bigger!
However, the original history has endless regrets, and the superiority of civilization has not yet been reflected, and it has been conquered by barbarism, or it has been taken cheaply.
With the use of "10,000 enemies" on the side of the Ming army, Jianyu was defeated and retreated, and the fierce battle was temporarily interrupted. It's like two wolves, after biting for a while, they retreat and lick their wounds, but their eyes are fixed on each other, and they don't know when they will pounce on each other again.
Sure enough, Zilharang barely let his men rest for a while, because he knew that time was not on his side. Therefore he immediately ordered: "Let this king go around and attack from the north." The 10,000 enemies of the Ming army will lose their effect! ”
Inside the earthen wall, it is obvious that troops are also being dispatched, and people are moving back and forth.
The Ming army and Jianyu battled each other's wits and courage, and the fight resumed.
In a grassland far away from the city of naturalization, countless horses rested here. Many horses have saddles or something, obviously all of them are war horses.
That's right, these horses, the horses of the hussar battalion, were driven away from the city of naturalization. Only in this way can the hussar battalion hold the north and south gates with peace of mind, and can concentrate their forces to defend it without caring about anything else.
The hussar battalion had a limited number of troops, and probably only about 500 soldiers were assigned to guard the horses. Generally speaking, the main thing is to prevent these horses from running away, and then it will be a big loss.
Of course, just in case, there were also a hundred soldiers who were fully armed and on guard, while the rest of the soldiers were mostly scattered around to rest and watch the horses.
They didn't know that in the dark night, there were more than thirty pairs of eyes staring at them.
"My lord, what are we going to do?" One of them, suddenly, asked in a very low voice.
This man was none other than Ingordai, who was outside the city. Before, he found out that the Ming army had driven all the horses so far, and after a little thought, he probably guessed it. Therefore, he took advantage of the cover of night to follow.
At this time, he was still worried that there were too few people who could use it in his hands. Although the Ming army was also small, there were about 500 people, but on his side, there were only about 30 people, and they were about to go to the front to rob hard, undoubtedly hitting the stone with an egg.
However, he is also a celebrity who can use his brain on Jianyu's side, and after continuing to observe the movements of the Ming army for a while, he pointed a few people with his hand, and then commanded in a low voice: "You go around to the south, ride horses to drive those horses, as many as possible, create chaos, and lead the Ming army to chase you." Take them away and take them as far away as possible. ”
After saying that, he ordered a few more people with his hand and told them to do the same thing, only this time in a different way. Of course, there are also those in the east.
After such an arrangement, there are only twenty people in his hands who can be used.
After the subordinates who had received the task took advantage of the cover of night to leave, he said to the remaining people: "Everyone is ready, once the Ming army is transferred, immediately go and grab these horses and rush to the side of Guihua City." If there aren't many people left, kill them first. If there are too many people for us to fight, we will split up and create chaos and drive the horses to the Naturalization City. How, listen to my orders in a moment! ”
"Wow!" His subordinates, even a little more excited, replied to him in an extremely low voice.
They waited a little longer, and sure enough, on the south side, there was a sudden commotion of horses, and the sound of the commotion became loud almost in a short time.
The Ming army guarding was immediately alarmed. The soldiers of the Ming army nearby suddenly shouted: "It's not good, someone is stealing horses!" ”
Immediately, the nearest group of Ming soldiers immediately rushed over on horseback. And half of the fully armed Ming soldiers immediately left the team and rushed there.
In this dark night, I don't know how many people steal horses, and I don't know who they are. Of course, there is an enemy in Naturalization City near here, and there is a high probability that it is a prisoner, so it is even more necessary to rush over to take a look.
Unexpectedly, a wave of unsettled waves rose again, and the horses on the west side also rioted, and it was obvious that there were also enemies. On the side of the soldiers of the Ming army, everyone began to be on guard, and immediately sent another team to rush over to see the situation.
No, there is a situation on the east side.
In a short time, there were enemies on almost all sides, which alarmed the resting horses, and without anyone rushing them, the horses began to run on their own, wanting to change places.
At first sight, the soldiers of the Ming army were anxious. If these horses run away, the grassland is so big, who knows where this group of horses will run!
Five hundred Ming troops, compared to the Yingordai side, is already many times, it is a lot. But for a herd of nearly 30,000 horses, it's a bit small. In particular, the horses were not in the stable, but in the open grassland.
The grassland where the horses were located was suddenly chaotic. There were horses running around everywhere, and there were Ming soldiers trying to get the horses back together.
At the beginning, the soldiers of the Ming army were still divided into teams, but later, they couldn't stop them, so they slowly separated.
Ying Erdai couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw it, and he immediately led the people around him to start the action, and ran over to the lone Ming army soldier so openly.
Among the Jianyu, he was a linguistic genius and knew more than a dozen languages, including dialects. At that time, Daming official dialect was the first major language and the most practical language, so he naturally knew it.
Just like that, he greeted the soldiers of the Ming army in the official language of the Ming Dynasty.
In such a panic, the Ming army soldiers could tell whether the group of people who came over was their own or someone else? looked at it so openly, and subconsciously thought that it should be his own person.
However, by the time they got closer and could probably see each other, it was too late.
In this way, after being killed by Ying Erdai and more than a dozen Ming soldiers in a row, he finally happened to be bumped into by a team of Ming soldiers when he attacked the next time.
"It's not good, there are Jianyu, kill!" When the soldiers of the Ming army saw it, they immediately shouted loudly, gave their comrades a reminder, and at the same time immediately killed them.
As soon as Ingordai saw what was going on, he immediately ran with his men to the herd.
The sky was too dark, the horses were scurrying, and the soldiers of the Ming army soon lost the traces of Ying Erdai and others. However, in this way, he also knew that the enemy who disturbed the horses was Jianyu.
So, they shouted loudly, alerting their comrades to the sneak attack of the Jianyu hiding in the shadows.
It is not known how many enemies there were, and in this case, the Ming officers and men had to abandon the gathering of horses, but immediately began to assemble, and only then began to search for traces of the enemy. In this way, it is natural that the horses will not be taken care of.
Seeing that there was no chance to succeed again, Ying Ordai immediately led his men, mounted his war horses, drove as many horses as possible, and hurried to the side of Guihua City.
These of his men are all herds, otherwise they would not be outside the city. Therefore, although there were only about twenty people, they drove thousands of horses at once and galloped towards the Naturalization City.
The soldiers of the Ming army found out about this movement and divided their men to chase after them, but because the night was dark, it was difficult to deal with them.
On the side of Guihua City, Jianyu adjusted the direction and once again focused on attacking the Ming army camp on the north gate.
This time, they learned their lesson, and they started to attack from the upper hand, that is, from the north, not to mention, it was much easier than the south of the camp that the Ming army focused on defending.
Although there were about 5,000 people in the camp of the Ming army, there were indeed quite a few troops. But just as Zilharang thought, the Ming army first came day and night, even if Hu Dawei's department was not as fast as He Renlong's department, but after all, it was also a hurried march.
After they arrived in Guihua City, although they did not participate in the battle, they did not rest, and directly took over the defense of He Renlong's department. As soon as it got dark, he used the equipped sapper shovel, which is said to have been invented by the emperor, and immediately began to build the earthen wall. In this cold winter, if you want to repair the earthen wall, even if you have a sapper shovel in hand, it will take a lot of physical strength to complete.
Therefore, the soldiers of the Ming army here in Beiying are actually quite tired, and their combat strength is naturally not as good as usual. Thanks to the various firearms, it didn't require much physical strength, so I persevered.
At the beginning, the soldiers in the camp took turns to rest for a while. However, Jian Yu jumped over the wall in a hurry, and finally had to participate in the battle as a whole, but even so, they felt a huge pressure.
After all, although Jianyu usually doesn't eat enough, he has been in Naturalization City, and his physical strength is still abundant. For the sake of this battle, after a full meal, he naturally attacked like a ship, and his combat power was even higher than usual.
Even in this attack, Jianyu became more cunning. They fired rockets into the earthen walls, and instead of the camp, they fired near the artillery. Of course, it's good to shoot artillery, even if you can't shoot artillery, if you shoot gunpowder or something, then it's even more profitable.
No, all of a sudden, there was a loud "boom", and an explosion suddenly occurred on the inside of the earthen wall, and a rocket just landed on the powder keg of the Ming army. Although it was protected, the rocket was shot into it and came into direct contact with gunpowder.
This explosion illuminated the vicinity of this earthen wall.
Zilharang and others at the head of the city were pleased to see that in the place where the explosion was located, the earthen wall was gone, a big pit, and the Ming army was stunned nearby.
"Good!" Azig shouted even more, and the Qing warriors seized the opportunity to fight hand-to-hand with the Ming army if they entered through this gap.
However, at this time, there seemed to be some movement.
Zilharang and Azig looked south in unison, their faces suddenly turning pale.
The rumbling sound of horses' hooves is getting louder and louder, and the sound of fighting on this side of Naturalization City can no longer be concealed. Almost everyone heard the sound of the horse's hooves stomping on the ground.
Before dawn, the reinforcements of the Ming Kingdom came again? Almost all of them think like this.
Because, in this naturalized city, there can be no Qing reinforcements. At this time, the one who will come will definitely be the reinforcements of the Ming Kingdom.
It's not that no one has thought about whether this will be the confusing plan of those war horses in the Ming Kingdom. But this is obviously impossible!
This day will soon dawn, if the Ming army dares to do this, wouldn't it send the horse to the Qing Dynasty again, so what's the point of blocking the doors on the north and south sides?
