Chapter 1167: Reversal: The Big Bang
When the purple fireworks were lifted into the air, Ismayin, who was watching the battle in the north of the city, saw it clearly...... This scene made him feel unusually gorgeous and gorgeous, and half of the sky was lit up by this bright fireworks. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Boom!"
The fireworks in the sky burst into full bloom, followed by the subsequent fireworks.
The soldiers on both sides were originally fighting, and at this time, many people felt that the sky and the earth suddenly became bright, and they couldn't help but look up at the sky.
Yismain tightened the reins, clamped the horse's belly between his legs, raised his head, and said to himself in surprise: "What does this firework represent?" ”
Soon, a loud explosion coming from the west of the city answered him.
"Boom-"
A bright light flashed between heaven and earth, and then a huge roar sounded, and it seemed that the whole earth was shaking violently, and Yisima felt that the war horse under his crotch was frightened, and the man stood up, and almost threw him off the horse.
The flames rose into the air, and there was silence on the battlefield.
Before he could react to what had happened, there was a violent explosion to the northeast of the fort, which shook the ground and was obviously very destructive.
"National Teacher ......"
Several Tatar generals around him just wanted to remind Ismain, only to find that Ismain had fallen to the ground in embarrassment...... The location of the explosion was about two miles to the left hand side of the dirt slope, and the explosion caused the war horse to be frightened.
The first explosion was the assembly place of the siege soldiers and horses in the west of the city, and the second explosion was the soldiers and horses who transferred from the east of the city to the north gate, who had just received the military order and were ready to return to the east of the city.
"Boom-"
Before he could get up from the ground, the third explosion occurred again, this time less than half a mile in front of him, first a huge bright light penetrated the heavens and the earth, and then a red mushroom cloud suddenly jumped up from the ground, and the loud sound of the explosion reached his ears at this time.
With the explosion point as the center, a deep crater with a diameter of ten zhang and a width appeared, and within a radius of two or three hundred meters, almost more than 1,000 Tatar soldiers were directly torn into pieces by this violent explosion.
For example, because of several generals behind him, Yisima was knocked down by a huge shock wave, and all the brick and stone fragments on his body were opened, and the blood "gurgled" and flowed, and he couldn't live anymore.
And Yisima was lying on the ground, just blocked by the war horse that overturned on the side, and the soil slope was high and low, which had a certain hindrance effect, otherwise it would be difficult to escape the doom of killing on the spot.
Shen Xi deliberately left some open space between the trenches and the trenches, and it seemed that there was a huge flaw, so that the Tatars could easily gather troops, but in fact it was a decoy, and now the Tatars suffered a lot, and at least 2,000 soldiers died in the three explosions.
The three big explosions were followed by various small explosions.
Because there were many explosion points inside and outside the civil fort, the Tatar soldiers who attacked the front line of the city wall could not react. With the sound of explosions all around them, the Tatars had a feeling that there was no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth, and at this moment, they were not thinking about making a contribution, but about escaping and returning to safety.
At this time, a group of Tatar guards had already pounced, lifted Yi Si Ma Yin from the ground, supported another war horse, and quickly evacuated to the rear.
Yi Sima was already frightened at this time, and he was at the mercy of him, and there was only one thought in his heart: "Okay, you Shen Xi, set a trap for me to drill from the beginning!" It is no wonder that after I ordered the attack to be intensified, the resistance encountered in front suddenly became weak, and it turned out that he intended to break the troops into pieces, using numerous trenches and night cover, to hide, so that more tribesmen could enter the ambush circle, and then detonate the gunpowder ......"
Now there are two paths in front of Ismain, one is to order the withdrawal of troops immediately, and the other is to continue the offensive and not be affected by the previous continuous explosions.
A quarter of an hour later, when Yisma withdrew to safety, several thousand households who had remained in the camp had heard the news and rushed to him to ask for battle.
"National teacher, continue to attack, break the civil fort, and avenge the dead soldiers!"
Hearing the sound of chaos, Yisima closed his eyes in pain, he now thought of the ravines inside and outside the Tumu Fort, even if the gate of the Tumu Fort had been breached, but it was obvious that this was not done through the efforts of the Tatars themselves, but the result of Shen Xi's intention to "release water", Shen Xi turned a defensive battle into an ambush war.
After the Tatars entered the city, they encountered not Ming soldiers, but sudden bullets, flying arrows, or traps, triphorses, and other objects.
It was difficult for the Tatar cavalry to enter the city, and even if they entered the city, they could not form a threat within the walls full of ravines, and the fortifications built by Shenxi were to restrain the Tatar cavalry, and it could even be said to be a magic weapon to restrain all offensive means.
The time and place were favorable, and at this time they were not on the side of the Tatars, and Yisima felt that it was purely self-inflicted struggle to continue the attack.
But Yi Si Ma Yin really didn't want to give the order to withdraw his troops, he remembered the expectant look in Awulu's eyes before the battle, and if this battle was over, he felt that he would not have the face to lead his troops to fight again.
"Boom-"
To the west of the city, another earth-shattering explosion came, looking at the shape of the mushroom cloud that rose from the ground, its power was even greater than the previous three explosions, and at this time, the Tatar soldiers and horses inside and outside the civil fort were already in chaos, and there were embarrassed figures running and howling everywhere.
"Mingjin retreats his troops, and he can't fight!"
In desperation, he had no choice but to make the decision he least wanted to make.
The Tatars chose to retreat, and now it was the turn of the Ming army to counterattack.
Eight thousand to forty thousand, can still launch a counterattack while holding the position, no one believes it, but the Tatars really withdrew, even the Tatars who stayed to continue the battle with a blood breath were also under the attack of the Ming army, and they were knocked to the ground by arrows and fire bullets.
"Kill!"
Many Ming officers and soldiers crawled out of the trenches, armed with spears, machetes and other weapons, and let out a shocking cry.
At this time, Shen Xi, who was commanding the battle on the tower of the east gate of Tumu Fort, knew very well what he was going to do, and whether he could defend the city under the full attack of the Tatars depended on now.
If he could not inflict more losses on the Tatars in this battle, he might have encountered a Tatar siege a few days later, which was not in line with his strategy for defending the fort.
Immediately, red fireworks rose into the air, echoing everywhere inside and outside the city.
Before the start of the war, the soldiers of the Ming army were given a military order, once a counterattack was launched, all men and horses chased out from the city fortress, but they could not exceed the trench area two miles outside the city fortress.
By this time, the Franc cannon had already shelled at the preset coordinates two miles away, killing and wounding as many Tatars as possible.
Yun Liu stood beside Shen Xi and said excitedly, "My lord, the Tartars have withdrawn!" ”
"Hmm."
Shen Xi was very calm, he knew that if he couldn't give the Tatars the greatest damage and completely hurt them, then even if the troops were withdrawn, it would only be temporary, and the Tatars would inevitably launch a more fierce attack in the future.
On the positions in the west and north of the city, the Tatars fought and retreated, and the Franc cannons above their heads continued to sound, and a large number of Tatars were sent into the sky by the shells that exploded after falling, turning into minced meat and falling.
The Ming army shouted, and groups attacked in the direction of the city gate, and the city gate was lost and recovered.
It is a pity that the wooden gate of the city gate cave has long been destroyed, the soldiers are killed from the fortress, the Tatars are missing horses for battle, and in the withdrawal of troops, the body behind them is equivalent to being chased by arrows and firecrackle bullets, many Tatars are out of the city, crossbow arrows and firebolt bullets are directly shot to the ground, representing the Tatar tribes of the battle flags scattered on the ground in a disorderly manner.
"Not more than two miles...... Not more than two miles ......"
Hu Songyue, who led the troops in the west of the city, was surprised to find that the Tatars were receding into the distance like a tide, and his mind was full of questions: This is a win?
Hu Songyue led the Ming soldiers in ambush, first greeted the Tatars with firearms and crossbows, and then pursued them with tails, and when they were halfway through the killing, they suddenly remembered Shen Xi's confession before the battle...... If you start a battle in the middle of the night, you can't rush into action, the soldiers are easy to get enthusiastic when pursuing, and once they rush into the Tatar formation, they will be made dumplings!
At this moment, there is a great need for someone with a cool head to remind the soldiers.
But in this noisy environment, there were shouts of killing and the mournful wails of the Tatars, and even if they were torn apart, few people could hear them.
