Chapter 193 [Darkness Chen Cang]

Yarkand Abdullaha Khan, who looked up and sighed, saw that Yarkand Aqim Da Berk had not retreated, so he asked, "Turkic: How! Is there anything else you want to say? ”

I saw Yarkand Aqimu Da Boke bowing his head and whispering, "Turkic language: Hui Khan King, although our army occupied the Shaanxi Xingdu Division, but according to the Tanmalai newspaper, it is not the Vermilion Bird Flag planted on the castle!" Is it the Black Tiger Shunzi Flag? And the soldier armor is not the same? Could it be that Da Ming has changed? ”

Yarkand Abdullaha Khan, who felt that something was wrong, thought to himself; Maybe there was a new adjustment to the western border army of the Ming Empire? didn't pay too much attention to these details, he still asked people to send messengers to bring local specialties, yes; Rose tea, red deer, thin-skinned walnut kernels, cantaloupe, white raisins, figs, sheep fat jade and other tributes.

One of the most famous is the "Tianshan Snow Lotus", which grows on the cliffs of the high arid moraine area from the northern and southern slopes of the Tianshan Mountains, the Altai Mountains and the Kunlun Mountains.

Because the snow in winter and summer is covered with thick ice on the snow lotus of the Tianshan Mountains, it has not frozen to death and can survive strongly, bloom flowers and grow fruits, so it is considered to be an auspicious omen, and treat it as a holy thing.

According to legend, the Tianshan Snow Lotus first came out of the Eastern Han Empire during the period of the Western Regions under the rule of the Shache Kingdom Tianshan North and South Slopes, is the fairy world of the Yao Chi West Queen Mother to bathe in the Tianchi by the seven fairies scattered petals, so as to drop seeds in the mortal world to form the Tianshan Snow Lotus, seedlings can withstand minus 21 degrees of low temperature, opposite is the 5,400 meters above sea level of the Bogeda peak, is also a beautiful mirror, set off the Tianshan Snow Lotus this tenacious vitality of the gods, only to make people have a misunderstanding of it, Think that as long as you eat it, you can prolong your life and bring the dead back to life?

In fact, Tianshan Snow Lotus does not have this effect, but can be eaten as a medicinal material, which can treat kidney deficiency and low back pain, rheumatism and bone pain and other diseases, and has some obvious effects on menstruation and blood circulation.

Escorted by 100 Yarkand cavalry and 2 messengers (interpreters), they set off with the tribute and crossed the border in the direction of Xingdusi, Shaanxi.

Here, in the Changning Lake area in the north of Yongchangwei, the capital of Shaanxi, the patrol of the deputy military academy of the West Tumut Right Banner of Monan, Hazana Akshas, walked and suddenly raised his head to find that there was a burst of wolf smoke in the distance?

The accompanying Mongol soldiers were also surprised, and they all discussed, "Mongolian: Could it be that something happened to the Shaanxi Xingdu Division?" ”

The deputy military academy of Xitumut, who was secretly happy, immediately turned around and walked back to the camp tent, and he asked the herald to hurry up and inform the commander of the Western Tumut of Monan, who was hunting in the horse farm of Alxa Right Banner: Wenbu Chuhuer, I want him to send troops to join in the fun, and by the way, I will see if I can win a piece of land?

He was leading the Mongol Xitumut infantry cavalry to hunt rabbits, elk, colorful pheasants and other animals, and the skilled shooting of Xitumut took a bow and arrow while riding a horse, and aimed at the direction of the prey with his right eye, and quickly let go of the arrow to make a (whoosh) sound! Sharp arrows flew over and stabbed the elk.

Behind him, the Situmut infantry riders were still in the southern Mongolia Situmut deputy capital: Shanba Gilgra, under the leadership of the arrow circle chasing other prey, only the Situmut unified himself to pick up the prey he had hit, and walked to rest under the horse farm tent.

He sat down and took a few sips of mare's milk wine, then looked at the cavalry hunting in front of him and shouted, "Mongolian: Have you not hunted any prey?" Come on! Don't keep me waiting. ”

As soon as the words fell, the deputy commander of the West Tumert aimed at the hare and shot an arrow, but he was too quick to scare the rabbit away, so angry that he had to continue the pursuit, and the West Tumert cavalry on the left and right flanks had to chase the hare to a sloped place, which was conducive to observation and high shooting.

Just as they were hunting rabbits, a herald on a fast horse, wearing silver-white leather armor and a bowl and red tassel on his head, dismounted and ran over, handing over the letter: "Mongolian: See Lord Dutong, this is a secret letter from the deputy military academy of my department. ”

Curious, he took the letter and opened it to see that it was a good thing to his liking, which made him laugh on the spot, and decided to immediately send troops to fight for territory.

It so happened that the deputy governor of Situmert also shot the fleeing hare in time, and also grabbed the reins and dismounted to pick up the prey, but then he heard the sound of a trumpet rally? Everyone hurriedly turned around and took a look, and found that there were flag-waving people on the drum tower in front of the racecourse.

So the deputy commander of Xitumut led the hunting infantry cavalry back to gather, with a total of 20,000 horsemen and cavalry, spearmen, scimitars, tomahawks, hammermen, and archers, heading in the direction of Changning Lake.

Since they entered the Yongchangwei and Zhenfanwei in the boundary of the Xingdu Division of Shaanxi Province before that, the commander of the Western Tumut Metropolitan of Monan Mongolia decided to divide the troops to take 10,000 people to Yongchangwei by himself, and then the deputy commander of the Xitumut took 10,000 people to Zhenfanwei, and compared to see who could take these two boundaries first.

And Xin Enzhong, the general soldier of the Dashun Xining Guard on Liukou's side, was very surprised when he learned the news that the military governor of Dashun: He Jin, was killed! I can't imagine that it will be wiped out?

But he was not angry, but mourned in the camp tent that the three armies decided to command the soldiers and horses of the Xiningwei garrison to attack, which had the intention of avenging the governor of the rear army, so his generals persuaded him, hoping that he would not be impulsive! I don't want him to bury the power of the army in vain.

Of course, the general soldier of Dashun Xining Wei is not stupid, he knows that the Ming army is cunning and difficult to bite, so he specially asked people to contact Dashun Zaihou of the Dusi Mansion and asked him to send troops and horses to suppress it.

It was only in order to arouse the fighting power of the soldiers that they had to send troops in the name of revenge, and went south from Fort Mutual Aid in the north of the Xiningwei command post, and marched about 41 kilometers in half a day to reach the Nieshui River.

The exhausted soldiers of the Shun army could no longer walk, and they lay on the ground and complained about the generals, unable to raise any fighting spirit at all, and the disappointed Dashun Xining Wei General waved his whip and shouted: "The whole army is reorganized, quickly organize the team, and the boat crosses the Nieshui River, there must be no mistake!" ”

However, the soldiers were too tired to do it! How can I have time to pay attention to him? After resting for a while, everyone rushed to the river to pick up water in their hands and drank it, the scene was simply chaotic! There were soldiers who threw away the flag of their home battalion, soldiers who took off their armor, soldiers who dismounted, soldiers who left their artillery and ran to drink water, and even soldiers of the fire battalion who left the grain cart and ran to fetch water.

The defense of the entire tributary army was lax, and the general manager of the Dashun Xining Health Department: Hu Hansheng, accidentally found that on the south side of the river, there were actually ships heading this way? And the bow of the ship seems to be fluttering like a flag like a black bird?

This made the Dashun Xining Health Department always feel a little incredible, he thought; Could it be that there is a caravan to cross? But it doesn't look like it! The flag seems to be from the Ming and Ming armies? He panicked a little when he thought of this!

Unexpectedly, the next second, many crow-like things suddenly flew from the bow of the ship? The soldiers of the Shun army also saw this scene, and everyone raised their heads to take a serious look, but their hands and feet were blown off by something that exploded in an instant?

Only then did some soldiers of the Shun Army, who were familiar with firearms, react and shouted: "It's the Great Ming Firearms Divine Fire Crow!" ”

The Ming troops on the bow of the ship on the opposite side also set up a fire dragon out of the water, and this kind of long-range missile launched on the water exploded the rogue soldiers on the shore by surprise!

The Ming army continued to load the ship's thousand-pound Franky cannons, large bowl cannons, small general cannons and other artillery, and under the command of the flag waver and the general flag of the Ming and Ningwei generals, the artillery fuses were ignited (boom) and quickly blown up to the shore, falling on the side of the Liukou army and blowing up many large pits.

In the face of this attack, the soldiers of the Shun army began to panic, scurrying around, without organization and discipline at all, seeing that the general soldiers of Dashun Xining Wei were a little unhappy, he (Zheng) pulled out his saber and shouted: "Don't mess up the whole army!" Listening to Ben, he withdrew all the slogans into the deep trench and small slope behind, and first lined up with shield soldiers to cover the archery team and was responsible for the counterattack. ”

This move was to let the arrows counterattack first, prevent the Ming fleet from approaching quickly and waiting for the shore, and let the Shun artillery battalions find a suitable artillery site to open fire, as long as the Ming firepower was suppressed, then it would be easy to destroy them.

After all, the Ming army has little left! And the Dongli Tusi soldiers also suffered heavy losses, and they were not the opponents of tens of thousands of Shun troops at all, which Ming Xining Wei Zhenfu also knew well, so the purpose of the sneak attack was to disrupt the Liukou formation, so as to find an opportunity to attack, and strive to destroy them before the other party could figure out their own forces.

Unfortunately, the Liukou general was not a mediocre general, so he sent out 500 archers to go around the flanks, and then dispersed the main army to both sides, leaving only a few shield soldiers to cover the archers to release arrows (in fact, it was to trick the Ming army into thinking that the Liukou had not changed their position?). )

However, the 500 archers who made a detour to the flank were not good at stubble, and when they arrived at the battlefield, they lined up horizontally in turn, and each wore a scarf to cover his mouth and nose, and then some soldiers pulled up a bucket of smelly things? (Looks like feces or something?) The Shun soldier picked up the toilet and poured it into the row at the feet of the standing Shun archers.

The stench soon spread, and the archers began to thrive the dung under their feet with their bows and arrows a few times before pulling them out, but instead of shangxuan, they continued to wrap behind the arrows, wrapped in a layer of grease-stained cotton cloth and flammables.

After tying it up, the soldiers in the second row behind him took out the fire fold and lit the cotton cloth on the arrowhead, and drew the bow on the rack and shot it into the air.

After shooting the Xining Weiming soldiers who were changing their ammunition here, they saw a fire in the air? And the soldiers who loaded the ammunition hurriedly shouted: "It's not dangerous! ”

As soon as the words fell (knock, knock, knock), the ship's panel was blown open in many pieces, and the rockets that flew over also landed next to the Ming army's artillery and ammunition boxes, causing a series of explosions! Even the Ming army, which was loaded with ammunition and firearms, was affected.

The rocket was inserted in the chain mail on the Ming soldiers, so that it slowly burned the fabric on the armor, and the crying Xining Wei Ming Army rolled some rolls, some jump into the water to save themselves, and some are burned alive! Some were blown up to death!

Only the Dongli Tusi ships in the rear were moving slowly and were not threatened, and the Ming Dongli Tusi on the ship saw that most of the Ming ships in front were on fire, which made him very worried! But there was nothing they could do, so they had to order the ships to keep their distance.

Quickly found a suitable position to set up the fort, and the Shun artillery crews quickly put down the torches in their hands and ignited the general cannon, the god machine cannon, and the flying cannon (an improved version of the poisonous fire flying cannon, which was replaced with poisonous shells). As well as the sub-mother cannon, it was blown up towards the Ming fleet.

The surface of the river was blown up with a splash, and some Ming troops who had just approached the river bank were directly killed! The Ming Xi Ning Wei Zhenfu on the main ship immediately organized the Ming army to charge, trying to occupy the favorable terrain first, so the fire gun team shot intensively to the position where the Liukou released the arrows.
