In the Golden Horde of the Jiannu-Tatar Alliance, Ming An was holding the helmet of his son Aung Hong and wailing, while Oba and his son Balida were watching from the sidelines, but they were still gloating in their hearts. Ming'an's eldest son Anghong is very brave, he means, Ming'an is like a broken arm, and it will be much easier for him to fight Ming'an's idea in the future

Dolgon continued to cheer up the Mongol Khans and the Belle and Taiji, "Everyone, don't worry, the Ming army has firearms, and we have them too. As he spoke, Dolgon lifted the curtain of the golden tent, and there were Han bannermen standing in the open space outside the tent, each with a solemn expression and a musket on their shoulders. Beside them, there were also two Hongyi cannons.

The Mongolian Khanmen breathed a sigh of relief, "It turned out that we lost to the enemy, but now we also have firearms, and tomorrow morning, we will definitely wash away the shame." ”

Oba asked very unfamiliarly, "Dare to ask Prince Rui~ How are these firearms better than those of the Han people?" ”

The title of Prince Rui sounded very harsh to the current Dolgon, and he suppressed his anger and said: "All the craftsmen of our Great Qing Dynasty are from the Southern Dynasty, and what the Southern Dynasty can do, we can also do in the Great Qing Dynasty." ”

Oba smiled: "That's good, that's good~!" ”

The Chechen Khan said: "We can also make some big, anyway, we have a lot of cowhides." Covered with his thick three or four layers, it may be difficult for the Han people's firearms to penetrate it. ”

Zasaktu Khan frowned and said, "To build these many shields, I'm afraid it will take three or four days~~"

Dorgon said: "Don't be afraid, we will destroy the enemy with one blow." At present, the only people that Daming can rely on are Hong Chengchou and Song Youliang, and I heard that Hong Chengchou went to the northwest to suppress bandits. As long as we crucify Song Youliang, then Northern Xinjiang will still be our world. ”

In fact, where can Jiannu's firearms be compared with the firearms of the Ming army at the moment? Song Youliang's musket was a breech-loading spiral rifled gun, and there were even breech-loading rifled guns with copper-shelled bullets. The cannon has advanced sights and professional gunners trained by Western mercenaries, and the performance of the cannon and the texture of the shells are also different.

Although Dolgon didn't know how much worse his firearms were with Song Youliang's, he knew one thing, that is, his firearms were inferior to those of the Ming army. But where did the Mongol khans understand the difference? When I saw that I also had cannons or muskets, I felt full of confidence

As a result, more than 100,000 Jiannu Mongol coalition troops began to build siege weapons in front of Xin'an Pass, and it took four days to build them. Dolgon and the Mongol khans also dreamed of breaking through the Xin'an Pass and recovering the state. They didn't know that in these four days, the Ming army had transported a large number of military supplies, and the balance of forces between the two sides had undergone a qualitative change

"Governor, what is this?" Zhou Guoqing saw a few soldiers push up a strange-looking iron guy. The lower body of this sticker is an iron frame supported by three feet, and there is a platform on the iron frame, the front end of the platform is five steel pipes that are horizontally side by side, and the rear part of the platform is five slide rails erected like wings, and the back of the slide rail is a hand-cranked handle.

Bo Jue's palm brushed over the five steel pipes, as if he was caressing his wife, and he replied: "This thing is called a machine gun, a machine gun, and a clever gun." It is a powerful weapon that our Seiko workshop has just made, and such a repeating fire gun can be worth hundreds of soldiers. ”

"Really?" Although Zhou Guoqing also knew that firearms were powerful, he also knew that firearms needed to be fired in groups of many people in order to exert their power. Bo Jue said that just such a black subway pimple can be worth hundreds of people, Zhou Guoqing will not believe it

As soon as Bo Jue saw Zhou Guoqing's expression, he knew that Zhou Guoqing didn't believe it, and he didn't bother to say anything, so he smiled and said: "This general, when Jiannu comes to attack again, I will personally demonstrate to you the power of this thing." ”

Zhou Guoqing smiled, he didn't bother to argue with the craftsman, at this time, he saw that the soldiers brought up a large number of crossbow machines and crossbow arrows, so he picked up a crossbow machine to see. Crossbow King Huang Minggang pointed to this crossbow machine and said: "This is a crossbow machine I made, which can fire twenty crossbow arrows in a row. ”

Zhou Guoqing nodded, "This is the legendary repeater, right?" As he spoke, Zhou Guoqing reached out and took the crossbow arrows again, only to see that the crossbow arrows were very short, and they were all in a holster. Zhou Guoqing felt very curious, as if taking off the holster to see

"Stop~" Huang Minggang opened Zhou Guoqing's big hand, and Zhou Guoqing asked angrily: "What are you doing~"

Huang Minggang carefully put the crossbow arrows back and said, "These crossbow arrows are all poisonous, and the throat is sealed with blood. Don't say that there is no antidote, even if there is an antidote, it is too late to take it. So you see~~" Huang Minggang pointed to those holsters, when carrying, these crossbow arrows must be packed in holsters. And the one who makes such a repeater must also wear gloves. ”

Zhou Guoqing suddenly realized, "Offended~" After saying that, he asked again: "What kind of poison is so domineering?" ”

"Collected from the poisonous spring in the wilderness of the southwest, and then obtained after tempering~" Huang Minggang replied, "This general is in a hurry, and he has offended a lot. ”

"Where, where~" Zhou Guoqing smiled: "It's me who is reckless!" ”

◆◆◆◆◆◆◆

On the fourth day, the Jiannu-Tatar coalition army attacked the city again, this time, with six Hongyi cannons as the forerunner and more than a dozen Franc machine cannons as the auxiliary, launched a fierce attack on the wall of Xin'an Pass

The wall of Xin'an Pass was not wide enough, and Song Youliang did not bring large-caliber artillery to come, for a time, Jiannu's artillery was wanton, and the wall of Xin'an Pass was blown into rubble, and the Ming soldiers who were constantly injured and killed with heavy artillery fell from the city

"Damn it~~" Song Youliang could only hide in a bunker at this moment, avoiding the bombardment of artillery fire

"Hahaha~~" Ming An saw that Jiannu's artillery suppressed the head of the Ming army, and immediately laughed: "I thought how powerful the firearms of the Han people were, as soon as our firearms of the Qing Dynasty were shot, they immediately wilted~~!" ”

Dorgon smirked

Balida, who was on the side, glanced at Balmenggan and scolded in a low voice: "Don't you mean that the army's firearms are withered and indestructible? ”

Balmengan was at a loss for words at the moment, "But ~ at that time~~"

Boom~~ Boom

"Fire~" Shi Tingzhu triumphantly commanded the artillery to open fire, since Kong Youde turned against the water, he used the best cannon in the Jiannu army

"Stop~" Shi Tingzhu commanded the artillery units to fire six salvos, and then stopped the shelling, if not for anything else, but for their limited ammunition

Dolgon was very satisfied with Shi Tingzhu's performance, waved his hand, and shouted: "Siege~"

"Woo......"

"Woo......"

"Woo......"

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

The sound of the bull's horn was low and long, and it was like a burst. This was followed by the suffocating sound of war drums, accompanied by a stirring sound of war drums. Groups of Jiannu Eight Banners and Tatar warriors were like a swift but slow flood peak, crushing towards the not very wide Xin'an Pass.

This time, the Jiannu-Tatar coalition army had a huge lineup, and the queue was relatively neat, with two white flags, two red flags of various colors, and the flags of various Mongolian tribes, which could cover the earth on the ground, and the sky was directly trying to cover the sky, and countless spears, swords, and various armors reflected a cold glow under the sun's illumination, extending from the front of the eyes to the end of the field of vision, time seemed to stand still, and endless killing machines were spreading and raging in the air.

The sound of trumpets and the rousing sound of war drums resounded throughout the world. The cold glow that stretched to the end of the field of vision was approaching Xin'an Pass step by step

"Woohoo......"

As soon as the sound of the trumpets turned low, the fierce drums of war came to an abrupt end.

The Tatar army, which was crushing forward, stopped its advance under the reprimand of countless leaders, staff leaders, hundreds, and thousands of households, and then began to line up in an orderly manner under the guidance of various colored banners. After the formation was completed, the low sound of the horn turned and became high again, and the passionate war drums immediately followed, and became more and more rapid, more intense, and finally like a rapid raindrop, it crackled and smashed on the dry earth, splashing countless dust......

The Jiannu and Tatar soldiers who took the lead began to separate from the large array of the coalition army, howling and rushing towards the wall to cover the kill, and at the front were two rows of oar-and-shield soldiers, each carrying an oversized oar-shaped shield on their shoulders, followed by archers.

These shields are more than one zhang wide, three feet thick, and the surface is also covered with three layers of wet cowhide. Even if it is penetrated, the damage to the human body behind the shield will be greatly reduced. Jiannu's tactics couldn't be more obvious, that is, to use these shields to resist the muskets of the Ming army, and then use bows and arrows to kill and wound the Ming soldiers. Although the range of the Ming army's musket exceeded that of Jiannu's bow and arrow, the musket was fired in a straight line, and there was no way to kill the archers hiding behind the shield if it could not penetrate the strong shield, while the bow and arrow hiding behind the shield could use the back shot to shoot arrows from the gap between the shields to kill and injure the soldiers on the wall of the Ming army.

"Hurry up that~ Wow!"

"Ahrahi~~"

"Boom, boom, boom......"

With a violent roar, the walls of Xin'an Pass suddenly began to tremble. More than two dozen Francophone guns opened fire at the same time. The bursts of red light are like hundreds of large fireworks blooming on the ground, and they are extremely gorgeous. At a distance of less than 100 zhang, the lethality of the Franc cannon was terrifying.

The solid shield more than three inches thick was suddenly smashed into debris by the roaring iron ball, and more than forty solid iron bullets pierced through the three shield walls in a row, and then plunged into the dense Jiannu array with a terrible scream, just like more than forty blood plows ploughed out more than forty bloody paths in the Jiannu array.

"Release the arrow~" Several Jiannu leaders shouted loudly, and a large rain of arrows swept up from behind the Jiannu array, like endless flying locusts, but because the distance was too far, only a few fell into the Ming army's array, and the casualties caused were not very large

呯~呯呯呯

The Ming army immediately returned the color with dense gunfire, and the Jiannu who were rushing forward happily fell down like weeds blown down by the wind one by one, screaming, wailing, scolding, and shouting were intertwined in an instant, and the Jiannu or Tartar with the protection of the shield in the middle hand was better, and more Jiannu and Tartar who did not have a shield to defend themselves did not have this blessing, and the thin armor on their bodies could not resist the bullets of the Ming army

"Master Bo, it's time for you to show your skills~" Song Youliang shouted to Bo Jue, who was eager to try

"Deling~" Bo Jue shouted excitedly, "Little ones, follow me!" ”
