Chapter 195: Cool
"Ignition!"
Jiang Gui gave an order, and the head of the city was as bright as day, and the burning torches made Yexian's face change instantly. Under the light of the torches, the sergeants on the top of the city who showed their upper bodies were either staring closely at the enemy troops under the city, or holding the spears in their hands tightly, the sharp heads of which shone under the torches.
Leaked news! was full of this sentence in his mind, but he had experienced a hundred battles, and in the face of such an unfavorable situation, he was only stunned for a moment, and then ordered to line up. Since the Ming army found out in advance and defended at the head of the city, it was natural that they could not take a ladder, but should line up and shoot the Ming army on the city head with a strong crossbow first.
The Warat army withdrew to the ladder and lined up below the city.
At the head of the city, the corners of Jiang Gui's mouth rose, and Daniel Zhang laughed even more. In the Xishan Imperial Tour, the fifty sergeants of the sharpshooter battalion leveled a mountain peak with just throwing "thunder", which they saw in the letters from their colleagues and Zhang Ning. Daniel Zhang even showed Zhang Ning's letter to Jiang Gui, in which he specifically reminded that the "thunder" should be thrown into a crowded place, and the more the enemy is piled up, the more serious the casualties will be.
The enemy is afraid that he will not die fast enough, right?
Since "Thundering" has such a good effect, how can Jiang Gui give up the command to others? Personally directed, of course. He ordered: "'Thunder' prepares. ”
The sergeants of the sharpshooter battalion had already piled grenades beside them, and then they responded with a bang: "Order." ”
The torches under the city shine like daylight, and the ranks of the Warat army are gradually formed, and everyone is victorious, and the hook is hung with a hard bow, and the quiver is full of rounds, and they can bend the bow and shoot arrows at any time.
"Throw!"
Jiang Guiyan was horrified. As he spoke, grenades that squeaked and flipped with a faint glow flew in a graceful arc towards the enemy troops in good formation below the city.
When the Warat army saw a large black oppressive thing falling from the sky, it was not a bow and arrow, but more like a candle, but thicker than a candle and black in color, and couldn't help laughing, and someone said: "The Ming army is stupid and throws all the belongings out." ”
The laughter was louder.
I also frowned tightly, I didn't understand what it was, I couldn't make up my mind for a while, and I wanted to see it soberly first.
In just a few breaths, the black pressed thing came to the top of the head of the front sergeant of the Warat army under the action of inertia. The Warat soldiers looked up, and some people even reached out to pick up some, the things of the Ming army must be treasures, and it would be good to pick them up and go back to please their beloved girls.
"Boom!" With a loud bang, the air in this area dispersed like fireworks, and the flames soared to the sky and shook the earth. In the firelight, screams and neighings rang out, and flesh and blood flew everywhere, both human and horse.
In his eyes, there was only endless firelight, and patches of red in the firelight. His eyes darkened with pain, and he was frightened and restless when he stepped off his horse, and he took two steps forward. He could no longer sit on horseback, and fell backwards.
The sudden change occurred, and his personal guards were panicked, but there were still many people who rushed to catch him.
The Warat soldiers flipped on their backs and were in a mess.
At the head of the city, Jiang Gui ordered: "Throw it to this official, and throw it to a place with many people." ”
When the sergeants of the sharpshooter battalion were training, Liu Nian and Gu Chun repeatedly told them every time they trained, when they went to the battlefield, they must throw them to places with many people, and whoever didn't throw them to places with many people would be punished with military sticks if they found out after the war. Where is the need for Jiang Gui's order at this time? One by one, the hands did not stop, and the eyes did not stop.
For a time, the city was so bright that the sky was red.
…………
Zhang Fu ordered to rush overnight, be sure to arrive at Datong before dawn, at this time the army was more than 20 miles away from Datong, the cavalry advanced in an orderly manner, and the infantry trotted to follow.
Suddenly, the ground under his feet was like a dragon turning over, trembling, and the horizon in the same direction was even more red, brighter than day, like a sunset full of sky.
When the soldiers saw this difference, their footsteps paused slightly.
Zhang Ning said: "The defenders of Datong have fought with the enemy, and I also ask Grandpa Guo to give an order to speed up the advance." ”
"Not bad, not bad." Zhang Fu had only seen a grenade bombardment, and it was in the daytime, condescending, the perspective of the scene was very different from now, and he couldn't react for a while, Zhang Ning reminded him that he immediately woke up, not the earth dragon turned over, but the enemy arrived, the two sides fought, and the "thunder" in the hands of the Datong defenders was threatening.
At this time, how can there be more than 100,000 elites under his command? He immediately ordered the whole army to speed up its advance and must arrive at Datong within an hour.
The cavalry whipped forward, the infantry spread their feet and ran wildly, the enemy was attacking Datong, at this time, if you don't pick up military merits, when will you wait? As for the weight of grain and grass, there is a special person in charge, and you can arrive before dawn.
…………
After the first round of grenades was thrown, the open space under the city was full of large pits, full of charred flesh foam and scattered severed limbs and legs, as well as corpses that had been trampled to death by being lifted off the horses by startled horses, and many torches were extinguished.
I also woke up slowly, saw the tragic situation in front of me, vomited a mouthful of blood, and fainted again. In the 20 years since he set out as a teenager, how could he have suffered such a defeat? 100,000 cavalry, not to mention the annihilation of the whole army, also died a lot. followed him to Datong City for the first time, and they were all brave and extraordinary grassland heroes.
These people, before they could engage the enemy, died unexpectedly. Die unjustly.
He was awakened again, and before he could get his breath, he heard the thunderous laughter of the city, and the laughter sounded so harsh. He was so angry that he stood up on the shoulders of his guards, and he was surprised by a deep voice at the head of the city: "The master is still there?" ”
Daniel Zhang was indeed surprised, such a wild bombing, "Thunder" is not long-eyed, why didn't he blow him up?
was also so angry that his eyes were dizzy, so he heard another loud voice say: "Taishi is lucky, rare, too rare." ”
Jiang Gui also ridiculed, "Thunder" failed to blow him up, this anger is very against the sky.
"It's a pity that the prairie is a good boy." Daniel Zhang was in schadenfreude. After many years of fighting life and death, only this time the fight was the easiest, there was no one killed or wounded, but the enemy army suffered heavy casualties, and in the smoke of gunpowder, there were still screams of wounded enemy soldiers, if it was not for the unbearable pain, who would cry out for pain?
I was so angry that I pinched my knuckles tightly. The guards exclaimed: "Taishi! "Don't faint anymore, if you faint and never wake up, that's bad.
A captain who had one of his arms blown off endured the severe pain and said, "Master, why don't you count the number of damaged people first, set up camp and then fight?" ”
Jiang Gui and Daniel Zhang were still singing and mocking each other, but they also knew that this was not the time to fight with them, so they made up their minds and said, "Pass the order and choose a place to set up camp." ”
The Ming army has such a strong weapon, and the camp can't be too close to the city of Datong.
Daniel Zhang and Jiang Guizheng were happy with ridicule, and suddenly reported that the emperor had led a large army, and the two were in good spirits, and hurriedly ordered the city gate to be opened and went down to the city to greet them.
