By the time Yue Xiang hurriedly climbed to the top of the city, the white flag horse team outside the city had already approached a stone's throw away. The formation was quite sparse, and I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional.

Yue Xiang didn't see Huang Taiji in the team, this guy might be hiding somewhere behind and secretly observing all this.

In addition to acknowledging her identity, the woman said that only Huang Taiji knew about the specific purpose of the trip, and that she was only following Nurhachi's orders, but she knew that she had come to find someone in the vicinity, and Nurhachi wanted to get this person. As for why she didn't send someone else but only sent her with her, probably because she wanted to use the power she had.

Yue Xiang was surprised by this, but Abahai was not sure if Nurhachi had discovered the secret of her power, but she was usually very good at "persuading" others, so it was possible that she had attracted Nurhachi's attention.

Only then did Yue Xiang discover an astonishing fact, it turned out that Nurhachi might have had insight into the spiritual magic possessed by Abahai, and he dared to keep her by his side knowing this, and he didn't know what he thought.

He should have known that he might also be affected by this kind of magic, and he chose to be tolerant of this kind of deception, as a generation of overlords known for his cold-blooded ruthlessness. You must know that even his own son Zhu Ying and his own brother Shuerhaqi, who has made great contributions to him, can kill him without hesitation.

But it's not impossible that a complete utilitarian like Nurhachi would do this, and perhaps he was inspired by Abahai's secrets, and felt that her abilities could be a useful tool for him. Perhaps at this time, in Nurhachi's heart, Abahai was no longer just his woman, a vase.

The strong have the thinking of the strong, and for a person like Nurhachi, who has been invincible in dealing with all kinds of dangerous things all his life, the more dangerous things can make him have a sense of conquest. Tigers are dangerous to humans, but when they are powerful enough to harness them, they become a powerful weapon in their hands.

Perhaps this is Nurhachi's way of thinking, and now that he has discovered a new use value from Abahai, he will naturally use it enough. What's more, Abahai gave birth to three children whom he loved very much, and perhaps this beautiful and bewitching woman could still bring him pleasure in sound, or perhaps he still had a love for her in his heart.

Yue Xiang didn't know how much of this woman's words were true, but he couldn't ask anything else.

"What do these people want to do, they don't even have a ladder to attack the city? It's too underestimating us. Dong Mingchuan muttered in a low voice, Yue Xiang looked at the movement of the cavalry formation outside the city, turned his head and said to the old army: "What about our artillery?" Can a shot hit them inside? ”

"Lord Qiyu, our little tiger squatted and hit the group, and the power was okay when it got closer, but the accuracy was not good, and the range was not enough. Although the range is longer and more powerful, the accuracy is worse, and it is more convenient to pretend. ”

In fact, he didn't say anything, in this case, it is generally more effective to use two kinds of guns, exterminating or Weiyuan, this kind of dispersed formation is the most test of the gunner's accuracy and the accuracy of the artillery, but it is a pity that there was this kind of cannon in the original fort, but it has been exchanged for money by them to buy food.

What do you want...... Yue Xiang also heard the meaning of his words. But he couldn't look at the people outside the city, he waved his hand impatiently: "No matter, ready to fire!" Hit it with a child-mother gun. ”

The barrel of the gun, which was hundreds of pounds, began to shake, making a dull sound. It was the first time for Yue Xiang to see this kind of ancient artillery firing scene, the sub-mother cannon was the Furlong machine gun, and the swarthy one was cast of iron, about about one meter six or seven in length, and there were several iron hoops on the barrel. A large piece of the back of the barrel was hollowed out, revealing the chamber inside. Someone took a pre-loaded pistol and stuffed it inside, aligned the mouth, and then tied it with hemp rope, and inserted the fire rope into the fire door.

Yue Xiang picked up a zigong and looked at it, looking like a hot water bottle. There is a handle, but it is cast in iron, and the cannon stuffed in the belly of the gun is just a stone bullet made of stone, and the caliber is not large, and it is larger than the lead ball pushed in the school.

"Why isn't this cannon iron?"

"My lord, most of this iron is rough and flat and unusable, and the ** of the hair will hurt the cannon chamber, so the stone bullet is used."

Yue Xiang sighed again in his heart, there was no hardware lathe in these years, and naturally he couldn't process refined shells and gun chambers. It is not easy to produce a fine product in the handicraft workshop, the stone bullet is easy to polish, and the material is easy to find, so it is naturally favored. However, the weight itself is light, and it will inevitably flutter when it is hit, and it is even more difficult to ensure the accuracy of the head.

Both of them were ready, and the other was loaded with an iron bullet. The gunners silently recited the blessing of the gods and Buddhas in their hearts, and said in their hearts that the amount of gunpowder they put into Zi Gong should not be exceeded, and God bless them not to blow up the chamber. The rest of the people flashed to both sides with a tacit understanding, and some even went directly to the city.

Yue Xiang didn't move, he was extremely disdainful of this kind of superstitious thinking among the gunners, now that there is really a war, where is it your turn to engage in so many rules.

So when the gunner asked him to stand aside, he flatly refused, and directly told the other party that he would never move a step, and the gunner threatened him with the theory of the cannon god, Yue Xiang told him that he didn't believe in this, and directly told him that he dared to kill him first if he didn't obey the order. I'm right next to here, and I'll see who I can blow up.

The gunner was helpless, but he just put the hot iron cone close to the arquebus, and he always dared not light it. Yue Xiang was furious, snatched the iron cone, and burned it directly on the fire rope, and with a spark, it ignited violently, and Yue Xiang covered his ears and opened his mouth wide and flashed to the side.

There were two dull loud bangs, Yue Xiang covered his ears and shook his chest slightly, and the city wall under his feet seemed to tremble slightly. The two Furlong cannons opened fire one after the other, and the muzzles of the guns spewed out hot tongues of fire, mixed with large clouds of dazzling white smoke and flames, which immediately enveloped the surroundings.

Two faint white trails of smoke flew out of the smoke at high speed, and the horse team outside the city was in turmoil, and the horses were startled by the roar of the cannon. The knights struck the reins, and before they could pacify their mounts, the cannonballs came closer.

A thunderous explosion erupted in front of the team, and the hot iron bullets didn't hit any targets.

The landing point was about five meters away from the nearest person, and a large amount of mud and sand was blown up by the huge kinetic energy carried by the cannonballs, and the rain splashed and threw around, and several cavalrymen walking in the front row were affected by these debris, and the front hooves of the war horses were raised and spun around, and there was a chaos.

After the deformed iron bullet hit the ground, it bounced forward twice and went out more than 30 meters away, and it passed through the horse team without touching anyone.

Another stone projectile swept over the team's heads and landed in the open space behind them. After the stone projectile landed, the huge force caused it to explode, and a pit of earth was also opened in the ground, and the smoke and dust flew sideways, and a stream of black dirt smoke was thrown high by the shock wave, and then fell quickly, leaving only a small pit of scorched marks on the ground.

Yue Xiang slapped his thigh fiercely, thinking to himself how this cannon could not be so angry. The two guns hit the front and the other shot back, but they didn't hit the middle. And the gunner next to him was already dumbfounded, thinking that this is strange, why didn't he follow the rules and didn't get angry? The wind of this cannon did not hurt anyone, and the cannon did not explode. Could it be that this adult is blessed by the gods?

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after the cannon rang out, and firing the cannon was a desperate job in these years. Everyone rushed forward to watch, but saw that the horse team with the white flag had stopped moving, but they did not see a single person falling. It's just that there are two pits on the ground with a lot of dirt and sand scattered around them, and the deformed iron bullets are still slightly smoking.

"Hurry up, reload the guns." Yue Xiang shouted loudly. Suddenly, I saw the horse team turn around and cover the retreat alternately, and then rode out of the crowd on a white horse, and it was Huang Taiji.

I saw him riding to the crater in front of him, and seemed to take a closer look at the power of the cannon. Then he beckoned his hand from behind, and rode out at a gallop straight to the city wall. The people in the city, including Yue Xiang, didn't understand what this person's purpose was, could it be that he was here to challenge?

But he saw that this man was galloping like a galloping horse, and hundreds of bows and arrows in the city were aimed at him, but he was not afraid. I saw him shout, and he threw something on his arm and threw it up to the city through the ditch.

"Huh!?" When everyone saw clearly what it was, the group's faces changed, and Dong Mingchuan's face was as white as paper. This human head was the head of the family member he sent to Qinghe for help, and everyone was dumbfounded. Qinghe's reinforcements are their only hope, and now they are trapped in a lonely city, cut off from foreign aid, and sooner or later it will be a dead end.

Yue Xiang knew in his heart that Huang Taiji was passing on a message to him. It seems that his wishful thinking has not been launched, and he is indeed not idle outside the city.

Now, as long as you don't want to fight to the end, you have to negotiate twice.

Outside the city, Huang Taiji was also watching the movements in the city. He felt that the person on the other side had the intention of making peace, otherwise how could the two cannons just now be so coincidentally one cannon in front and the other in the back, just covering the team he sent out to probe him. It seems to say: I have the ability to hit any target in the middle, this time is a warning, and next time there will be no mercy.

Since the other party did not hurt anyone, this means that the matter is discussed. I believe that the female fox has a way to protect herself, although I want her to burp and fart quickly, but I can't help but get her back now.

With the current situation, there are only two endings, or both will lose. Or let's all go our separate ways as if this thing hadn't happened. After the Jurchen knights under the city threw their heads into the city, they shouted: "Listen to the Han dogs in the city! My Belle Lord wants Yue Xiang to come out and answer! Which one is called Yue Xiang!? The accent of the shouting was thick and strange, but it was in Chinese.

Sure enough......

"Phew! Where did you come from as a lynx beast? Dare to yell in front of your grandfather! Ma Gong also learned the man's tone and howled so loudly, causing everyone around him to laugh for a while, shouting and scolding to the city in unison, which immediately diluted the tense atmosphere a lot. And the bows and arrows that the soldiers had been hanging down because of fear and weakness were raised again, aiming at the loud voices of the city.

But the Jurchen man's Chinese under the city was obviously not very bright, and he didn't understand it too quickly and chaotically in the city. Just repeatedly shouted for Yue Xiang to come out and answer.

"Lao Tzu, I am Yue Xiang! Tell Huang Taiji to come and talk! Yue Xiang stopped everyone's voices and shouted loudly.

"Han dog, the name of my flag owner is also called by you! I don't know whether to live or die, you come down with a kind, see if grandpa doesn't screw your head off! The knight shouted and cursed loudly, Yue Xiang glanced to the side, more than a dozen archers released arrows at the same time, and a sharp wind sounded in mid-air, shooting straight towards the Jurchen man.

Unexpectedly, this person seems to be rude, but the body shape and equestrian skills are extremely flexible, a reins of the war horse dexterously jumped, dodged most of the arrows, and then the left and right hands each caught a feather arrow, and the more miraculous skill was to open the mouth and bite a branch horizontally, so that everyone in the city looked stupid. Of course, this person also paid the price, the corners of his mouth were bloodshot, he opened his mouth to spit out a mouthful of bloody smear, and pointed at the city and laughed proudly.

"This is the arrow shot by you Han people, even our Jurchen girls are not as good! No wonder you can't even keep your women! I want our Jurchen men to help them plant and give birth! Hahahaha......"

The faces of the Ming soldiers and generals in the city all turned the color of pig liver, and the scolding of the ancestors and grandmothers in the south and north gushed out, but the momentum was shorter.

Yue Xiang knew that Huang Taiji was going to find someone to come out and demonstrate before negotiating, so as to strengthen his own momentum. It's a pity that there is no such cattle on his side, there are a lot of capable people in the families of Dong Ma and Ma, but how much kung fu can play in front of the two armies has been verified by their own families, here is the world of archery and horse riding, and if you can't go out, you are looking for death.

It's a pity that he was injured and weak, otherwise he would have to see if this guy could catch an arrow from his big strong bow. Anyway, this guy is just here to talk about it, and the main owner is Huang Taiji. It wasn't worth it to spend this energy with him, and he was about to turn around when he saw someone next to him scolding him for picking up a rock the size of a football and smashing it down. The man calmly turned his horse and flashed to the side, the speed of the stone was too slow, the trajectory was obvious, and it fell to the ground and did not hit.

The guy became even more proud, and began to point at the city and laugh and curse loudly, and his words were even more obscene and vicious, accompanied by gestures. This time, however, there was silence in the city, and everyone looked at him again with strange eyes, and some covered their ears. By the time he was surprised to find that the strange stone at his feet was actually smoking, it was too late.

There was a thunderclap on the ground, the fire exploded, and the four catties of black powder filled in the stone cannon exploded violently, and countless earth, sand and stones were lifted into the air and fell like raindrops. White smoke mixed with Martian rubble scattered and burst into the air. The person who scolded the formation noticed that he was not good, and as soon as he ran out of the horse, he was blown off his horse, and even the war horse was blown down together. Half of his arm flew into the air in a whirlwind, landing five or six feet away.

There was silence on the battlefield for more than ten seconds, but then the Ming army erupted in earth-shattering cheers. Look at the guy half of his body is broken and covered in dirt lying on the ground motionless, it was hit by the shrapnel of the blasted rubble. There was a slight commotion on the side of Huang Taiji.

"Bring people to the city." Yue Xiang commanded, and after a short time, Abahai appeared at the head of the city, but his eyes and mouth were covered with strips of cloth. Yue Xiang found that Huang Taiji's body on the other side leaned forward, and he asked Xiao Wan to stare at her beside him. Then he turned around and shouted loudly: "Huang Taiji, come and collect the corpse!" Don't you want to see me, okay! Tell your people to take five hundred steps back, you come alone, and Lao Tzu will go out of the city to meet you with a real chapter! ”

Then he turned his head and said, "After I go down to the city later, if I do something bad, I will kill this girl immediately!" ”
