Chapter 543: A Great Victory
Throw along the narrow road, all the way.
These glass bottles, as many as you want, are all in charge.
The sky was full of fires, accompanied by thick smoke, and the tents of the Tatars were the most flammable, and when they encountered open flames, the cowhide felt and strips of cloth quickly spewed tongues of fire.
This made the flying balls above also start to feel uncomfortable.
The smell is very choking.
So, all the flying balls had to start to rise a little higher, and when they reached a position of one hundred and fifty paces, the smoke dispersed, and although there was still a pungent smell in the sky, at least at this time, it was much better.
The balloon had to be controlled by a flywheel in a rattan basket to fly northward, and the density of the glass bottles was much smaller.
But even so, this fire in the sky is no longer able to be contained.
Under the balloons, the Tatar camp completely collapsed.
The Tatars had to give up their horses, looking in horror at the sweeping fireworks, as well as the 'bombs' thrown in the sky at any time, originally they were shoulder to shoulder partners, but now, in order to seek a glimmer of life, they had to draw their swords and meet each other.
Yanda Khan sadly saw an even greater flame rising in the sky, which was the dry food and horse feed hoarded by the Tatars.
The mountains of horse material began to burn, and in almost all the horse pens, the frightened war horses began to flee in all directions.
Finished......
He looked at the burning people rushing out of the fire everywhere, and the pain of burning his skin was enough for anyone to be frightened, and the cows and horses became ownerless.
Yanda Khan was almost dragged by the guards, all the way north, they hoped to find a few horses again and again, but these horses were crazy, no matter what, they couldn't control it, and they frantically threw people down.
There were defeated soldiers everywhere, and many awakened Tatars, whose spirits broke down instantly, hysterically drew their long knives, and slashed indiscriminately, and among their companions, they became enemies.
And the flying ball that was pressed by the black pressure was still in full swing, following their steps, slowly moving forward.
"What is this?" Yanda Khan looked back at the flying ball that covered the stars and the moon, and spat out words: "Nanren...... Southerners ......"
Looking at the tragic situation around him, his heart was like a knife, and his whole person was about to collapse.
His face was twisted, hideous and terrifying, and he stuck the long knife in his hand into the ground in pain, raised his head and roared: "This great hatred, I swear to repay it!" ”
"Great Khan ......" the guards wept and cried out in terror: "Go away, go away." ”
"Where are they, sons?" Yanda Khan was still unwilling to go, and he had to take his son with him no matter what.
The eldest son is dead, but the second and third princes are still there.
The only youngest son remained in the desert.
The Tatars inherited the Mongol system, and the eldest sons either divided their men and horses and set up their own doors, or they followed their father's conquest, while the younger sons were responsible for guarding the house.
Now, his two sons are still in the fire-engulfed camp.
Yanda Khan burst into tears, he was reluctant to leave, he wanted to go and rescue his son immediately, but the fire in the sky was engulfing all around, he could only watch the fire in front of him devour everything, he roared, roared: "My son. ”
"Great Khan!" The guards had to pull Yanda Khan and continue northward, behind them, there were routs everywhere, war horses fleeing in confusion, and the fire soared into the sky.
I couldn't stand the flying ball full of smoke and dust, so I had to start pulling it up, constantly pulling it up, and going to the top of the wind.
Almost all the glass bottles have been thrown, Yang Biao took out the telescope, the ground has been burned bright because of the fire, the camp in the telescope has become purgatory, countless burned black people, people covered in fire, surrounded by fire, people who want to rush out of the sea of fire, and those who fight for a way to live, knife their companions.
Yang Biao chewed on the beef jerky and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It's really pitiful, why do you want to kill and kill, they come to kill us, we have to kill them, and in the end, what's the point?" ”
Shen Ao looked at the tragic scene below, thought about it seriously, and replied to Yang Biao: "Because for some people, plundering others is a shortcut to keep themselves fed and clothed, so ...... They all deserve to be killed. ”
Yang Biao thought for a while, then bowed his head and said: "That's right, my mother said, it seems that I know how to eat rammed goods, and it is useless to be born." I asked her, why do you want to give birth when it is useless to be born? Guess what my mother said? My mother said that if you don't give birth, you will be thin, and you will be bullied by others. My mother is really a reasonable person, although she hasn't read any books, but every sentence makes sense, isn't it the same today? I was born, just to not let us be bullied, they want to rob us of Daming, I will let them taste it, Shen Gongzi, do you want to eat beef jerky? ”
Shen Ao shook his head, took out his dry food from his bag, and smiled faintly at Yang Biao.
"The beef jerky is too hard, so let's eat something else."
After half an hour of attack, the flying team began to return, and after the flying ball was pulled up, it slowly passed through the mountains and valleys, in this dark night, like a ghost, behind them, the screams and fires, gradually behind them, farther and farther away.
After the balloons crossed the Datong Pass, they began to land, one by one, after lowering, they immediately dropped the iron aim, and then, the exhausted people turned over and got off the rattan basket.
Yang Biao then began to set off fireworks, and the fireworks lit up the night sky one after another.
The ground crew not far away came quickly following the fireworks and pegasus, and the pilots who landed nearby also came to assemble.
This night.
The two flying balls lost contact and did not return to Kannai, where exactly they went, and whether they could come back, only God knows.
But even if you can't come back and the flying ball is intercepted by the Tatars, it doesn't matter, because without fuel, the flying ball doesn't make any sense.
The Tatars couldn't even make an iron pot, let alone fuel the ball.
The rest of the people all returned to Kannai.
Fifty-eight flying balls, nearly seven thousand bottles of fire oil, all thrown cleanly.
Everyone who came back from the gate had a red light on their faces.
Although it was their first time fighting, the tension before had disappeared without a trace.
This raid was almost tantamount to crushing, completely taking advantage of the Tatars' unpreparedness, and the Tatars did not expect that they would be attacked by flying balls in the sky, so they were relieved to boldly camp intensively.
And as for how many Tatars died, only God knows.
After all, Yang Biao's arithmetic is very anxious, if he is replaced by the sailors of Ningbo Water Village, the approximate number may be calculated through the telescope.
It was just dawn.
The soldiers and civilians of Datong, who heard the howl all night last night, spent the night in anxiety.
For many households, they were born and raised in Sri Lanka, and although many began to move south, many remained.
For the horror of the Tatars after breaking the barrier, even those who have not experienced it have enough terrifying impressions, they are like ants, they can't give up everything here, but they have to be slaughtered.
The officers and men were even more frightened, and they tried to repair the gap in the Datong Pass to no avail, but they themselves understood that temporary repairs were meaningless, and that if the Tatars attacked the next day, this fatal weakness would still be a source of tragedy for them.
But......
It's dawn.
A large number of scouts began to leave the city.
Immediately, a terrible piece of news came back.
The Tatar camp was set on fire, killing countless people and horses.
And from the captured Tatar captives confessed, that night...... Countless flying balls arrived above them.
God bless you.
Countless soldiers and civilians couldn't help cheering, and some people lit firecrackers with tears in their eyes.
At this time, people thought of the flying team stationed ten miles away in the pass, and the people and horses with the signboard of the town and the country.
The chief military officer Jin Zizhong and the lieutenant officer Wu Xie, plus the local patrol imperial history, gathered together.
They anxiously waited for news, and at the same time, they wanted to invite the flying team to enter the customs.
On the one hand, the scouts had already begun to leave the city, searching the camp left by the Tatars and counting the results.
Everyone was silent, from yesterday's day and night, in the blink of an eye, their minds were different.
Finally, the results of the battle were counted: "Report, 13,000 corpses were found outside the gate, the vast majority of them have been unrecognizable, in addition, a lot of injuries were found, they did not run far, they were all intercepted and killed by the rangers, the approximate number, in total, should be about 15,000 people." ”
Fifteen thousand......
Jin Zhong gasped, and the hanging stone was finally put back in place.
He knew too well what fifteen thousand people meant.
When the Ming Dynasty fought against the Tatars, they often reported that they had beheaded more than 100 people, 30 people, 7 people, or even a great victory, and if they could get the first level of 300, it would be considered a war achievement.
Of course, this does not mean that the combat effectiveness of the Ming army is very low.
But because the Tatars are all cavalry, the mobility of the cavalry is too strong, and all the battlefield initiative is in their hands, and the Ming army is simply unable to carry out an effective war of annihilation against the Tatars.
In addition, because there was no war of annihilation, naturally, even if the battle was won, the Tatars could only be seen calmly picking up the corpses of their companions and returning to the desert.
It's too hard and too hard to get the first level.
Therefore, sometimes tens of thousands of Tatar horsemen may be defeated in one fell swoop, and the number of heads that may be reported is also very small.
But this time...... At one time, fifteen thousand heads, just outside this Datong Pass, no Tatars took the corpses of their companions, and those who could escape from the Tatars fled completely, and the Ming army could go out of the city with confidence and boldness, and take down those heads like wheat harvesting.
