240 Success or failure (1)
The decisive battle was approaching, and Tuoba Yan summoned the Wenchen and military generals of the Qingyun and Baisha tribes to the Khan's tent for a meeting. Tuoba Yan gave the final order, and he and the Great Khan King Weimu took the lead, with General Ahantar of the Baisha Department as the vanguard, and the firearms battalion suppressed the formation. Qin Luo and some soldiers of the Baisha Department guarded the grain and grass in the rear and did not go to the battlefield.
On the eve of the decisive battle, everything seemed to be calm inside and outside Danyang City. However, under the calm surface, everyone has their own thoughts, and the dark waves are turbulent. Who will become the real overlord of the grassland between the Qingyun Department and the Chishui Department will be successful or defeated.
Early the next morning, Yele knelt down in the tent and wiped the "snow tip" of the scimitar for Tuobayan. After Tuoba finished washing, he took the armor handed by Jimmy and changed them one by one. He had a good night's sleep last night, and in the morning he was refreshed, and he thought to himself that he would be able to come home with a great victory today.
Ye Letian wiped the "snow tip" as bright as a mirror, she presented it with both hands, Tuoba Yan took it, pulled a knife flower, and inserted it back into the scabbard at her waist. He hugged Yeletian and whispered in his wife's ear, "Wait for me to come back." ”
"Okay." Ye Letian said lightly. Then, together with Jimmy, she watched Takubaran emerge from the tent. Outside, the large army had already been assembled, and Yele lean faintly heard Tuoba Yan say something morale-boosting in his tent, and then the deafening sound of "Long live the Khan" resounded through the clouds.
"Let's go!" Tuoba Yan roared, and led the warriors of Qingyun and Baisha to march towards Danyang City.
"Sister Yele, they're gone, let's quickly change our clothes and catch up with the firearms battalion." Jimmy said as he handed the soldier armor he had secretly prepared to Yelkodun. Yeletian quickly took off his headdress bracelet, combed a simple man's hair, and put on the armor with Jimmy.
The firearms battalion is Qingyun's secret weapon this time, and it does not serve as a pioneer. So Alem followed the army and marched slowly. As he walked, he glanced back at his back from time to time. He had already prepared two fast horses for his henchmen to wait for Yelekotun and Jimmy. Sure enough, it didn't take long for three people to appear in the rear, and the henchmen brought their two girls to the firearms camp to gather.
"Hurry up, the big army has already gone a long way." Alem whispered to Jimmy, "You and Kedun just follow me, keep your head down as much as possible, and don't show your face." ”
"Don't worry." Jimmy took Ye Letian to follow the army in a low-key manner, Ye Letian saw a few behemoths in the firearms battalion, pulled by a horse-drawn cart, covered with a layer of coarse cloth, if you guessed correctly, it was the artillery transported by Qin Luo.
Yeletian knew the power of artillery, and his heart was worried about his father. But as a Qingyun Ke Dun, she can't show these emotions.
"Here we are." Jimmy whispered a reminder of Yelele. Ye Letian looked up and saw that the tall and majestic gate of Danyang City was close in front of him, with the red flame-patterned banner of the Chishui Department planted on it, fluttering in the wind.
Her second sister, Ye Leyi, stood in the tower of Danyang City, overlooking the enemy soldiers below. Ye Letian looked up and saw his sister wearing a red cloak, but unfortunately the distance was too far to see her expression clearly.
"Sister......" Ye Letian has not seen her sister for a long time, and at this time she only misses Ye Leyi deeply, and she will no longer blame her for stuning herself and impostoring. She prayed silently in her heart, asking the god of Chiwu to bless her sister and not get hurt.
In the front, General Ahantar rushed to Danyang City with the soldiers of the Baisha Division, officially sounding the horn of war. For a while, the shouts shook the sky, and Yele leaned behind him and his hands trembled when he heard it. She is not as battle-hardened as Yereyi, she has not seen the bloodshed of the battlefield. Ye Letian only felt a wave of nausea, and immediately covered his mouth, almost throwing up.
"Are you alright?" Jimmy hurriedly held Yelkodun. She was not afraid of fighting on the battlefield, she had followed Tuoba Yan to the battlefield at that time, and she was quite calm compared to Ye Letian.
"I'm fine." Yele tilted his head, stopping his nausea. She breathed a sigh of relief, then asked Jimmy, "How can we see my family?" ”
Alem said that now that the two sides are at war, they should not go to the front line. We followed the firearms battalion, and when they unexpectedly released the artillery, then the Qingyun soldiers rushed in, and we could follow in. ”
There is no doubt that everyone believes that this battle is lost by the Chishui Ministry.
Yele glanced at the artillery and said worriedly: "My sister is in the city tower, will the artillery hurt her?" ”
"This ......" Jimmy was speechless for a moment, the battlefield sword had no eyes, let alone such a powerful artillery?
Seeing that Yele was depressed, Jimmy immediately comforted: "Your sister is so powerful, how can she be hurt?" Why don't I tell Alem not to fire at where your sister is standing? ”
Ye Letian barely showed a smile, shook his head and said, "That's it, life and death are fate, there is no need to trouble General Zuo." ”
The battle continued, and Tuoba Yan joined the battlefield with the Qingyun Iron Guard. Seeing that the time was almost up, Tuoba ordered someone to send an order to the firearms battalion and open fire!
"Ready, set up a torch!" After receiving the Khan's order, Alam immediately asked the soldiers to prepare for work.
The artillery that had been transported thousands of miles finally showed its true face, and the soldiers pulled off the coarse cloth that had been concealed, revealing the polished and shiny artillery. This is Qingyun's ultimate secret weapon, and with it, I don't believe that I can't beat the Chishui Ministry.
"Reload." Alem ordered again.
Yeletian and Jimmy hid behind and watched the soldiers of the firearms battalion go about their business, only to see them stuff the black, round blacksmith into the torch, and each soldier had a smug smile on his face.
This time, they were instructed by a leader of craftsmen from the Central Plains, and the leader personally checked all the artillery pieces one by one to make sure that there would be no squibs. As a result, the soldiers were no longer afraid of artillery, and even had some expectations.
"Aim for the castle tower!"
The soldiers rotated the barrels of their cannons, and several guns were aimed in the direction of the tower. Ye Le's heart hung in her throat, she saw that her sister Ye Leyi was still in the city tower commanding the battle, and she didn't know if this cannon would hit Ye Leyi.
"Don't be afraid." Jimmy shook Yele's trembling hands, "Close your eyes, cover your ears, don't look, don't listen." ”
"No, I want to see it." Yele's tears swirled in his eyes, and he was about to fall. Instead, her eyes widened, staring at where Yereyi was, her eyes unblinking.
"Ignite, launch!" Alem said and immediately stepped back.
I saw a few people holding torches, carefully igniting the line of fire, only to hear a few loud "bang, bang", and several black iron fireballs flew towards the city gate with raging fire.
With a few "tom toms", the artillery smashed a big gap in the tower of Danyang City, and Ye Le poured a crystal clear teardrop, which also dripped into the dust.
