Chapter 723: Burning the Meng Camp

Hiss······ The sound of breaking the air continued to sound in the Mongolian army camp. Boom ······boom bang The explosions continued.

"It's the Yuan Army! It's the firearm of the Yuan Army! ", shouted the Mongolian soldiers.

In view of the good effect of fireworks, Dayuan's firearms division has been increasing the improvement of fireworks. For example, the launch speed increases, the lethality increases, and the explosion effect is more obvious. A large amount of phosphorus is added to it, which makes the ignition point of fireworks even lower. Moreover, white phosphorus is highly toxic, and the damage caused is multiplied.

Now Dayuan has named this improved version of the firearm as a rocket, the Gansu Army, but it received this new firearm early in the morning. After enduring it for so long and not using it, as soon as it was launched today, it brought a big 'surprise' to the Mongolian army.

"Nice view tonight!" , Da Niu stood in the ranks of the Yuan army, looking at the Mongolian army camp with continuous explosions and flames not far away, and said with great satisfaction.

"It seems that the firemen in the Firearms Division still have some skills." , Turgan echoed. The Firearms Division was one of the more well-paid departments in Dayuan, and the craftsmen who made firearms in it were comparable to the monthly salaries of a provincial governor. Not to mention the generous annual bonus, which is often worth a year's income.

Lemon essence is not bad in any era! Moreover, jealousy is one of the root causes of human inferiority. Therefore, many officials are dissatisfied with the fact that the craftsmen have such a high salary.

Even though Li Chengji deliberately published an explanatory article in the "Dayuan Daily", pointing out the great contributions made by the Firearms Division in the rise of Dayuan. But it still can't stop the mouths of people with hearts.

For example, in the army, they feel that every time they use firearms on the battlefield, half of the credit must be given to the firearms department.

However, those who have this idea are all recruits who have not been in the army for a long time and have not experienced firearms wars. Veterans who really follow Dayuan from scratch will know the significance of firearms to Dayuan's army.

Turgan was young and vigorous, and he made great achievements. At that time, on the battlefield in Gansu, the firearms invested by Dayuan were all relatively backward. It is also because the focus of the Great Yuan attack is in the west, so the victory on the battlefield in Gansu depends more on the blood and flesh of the army. The power of firearms is limited to auxiliary weapons.

But today, large-scale rocket launches are like meteors falling to the ground. The Mongolian army camp can already see the end of the collapse. This also makes firearms no longer auxiliary weapons, but the main offensive weapons that determine victory or defeat. No matter how dissatisfied Turgan was with the generous treatment of the Firearms Division, he had to admit it. Such firearms avoided the death of a large number of Yuan troops.

"This is a rocket, huh? With such a divine weapon, seizing the Central Plains is also like probing for something, right? Zhou Yanhan opened his mouth wide and looked at the Mongolian army camp in surprise, which had been completely engulfed by the fire.

"What is the Central Plains? Even Mobei, Dayuan can also go there! Gilasy said in a determined tone.

At this time, a large array of cavalry rushed ahead.

"Don't talk! If you can't stop this group of northern barbarians, don't think about military exploits. ", Turgan ordered.

Everyone clenched their spears, and the archers came to the front, and when the Mongol cavalry came within a hundred paces of range, they began to fire a massive salvo.

At this time, the rear of the Mongolian army camp had been completely blocked by the Yuan army.

Unless you run in the direction of Keyimen, you won't be intercepted by the Yuan army immediately. It's just that Keyimon is the territory of the Yuan army, so they ran over, and in addition to dying, they could only become prisoners.

It may be due to the desire to escape, although it was attacked by the Yuan army's dense arrow rain, but the Mongolian cavalry that was still alive insisted on reaching the front of the Yuan army's camp. But before they could enter the Yuan army camp, black fire and thunder were thrown over again. An explosion that was more violent than a rocket sounded, and many Mongolian horses were frightened, trampling to death many of the fallen cavalrymen.

"Those who descend will not be killed! Those who descend will not be killed! Zhou Yanhan shouted in the Mongolian dialect he had just learned, and followed the other Yuan soldiers.

Due to the high casualty rate, the Mongol cavalry did not dare to move forward. Under the shouts of the Yuan army, someone threw down his weapon. Immediately, more people threw down their weapons, and the Yuan soldiers began to surround them.

At this time, in the direction of the Mongol battalion, another group of cavalry rushed out.

The only difference is that this group of people is very spread out as if premeditated, in all directions.

You must know that the terrain where the Mongolian army camped was very open. Now that it is night again, the Yuan army can only divide its forces to hold a few major entrances and exits, and it is impossible to block them all.

So as soon as the gang rushed out, Turgan and they met them.

After a stick of incense, the Turgan they ended the battle. Most of the Mongol cavalry chose to die in battle. Only a few cavalrymen were cut off by the Yuan army and were reluctantly captured.

"That's not right! This group of Mongolians is so stubborn, I'm afraid they are covering something, right? Jila Siyi cut through the neck of a Mongolian cavalry who was pressed by a war horse with half of his body pressed by the war horse, but still wanted to sneak attack his own cavalry, and frowned.

"Yes! Could it be that this group of Mongolian troops is the real Mongolian cavalry? Da Niu responded.

"Just now I saw dozens of people running towards the river. I followed, but was stopped by a few Mongol cavalrymen who were not afraid of death. A soldier of the Yuan Army thought of something and said loudly.

"I'm afraid it's a prince or a thousand households!" , Turgan guessed, and ordered: "Leave half of the prisoners behind, and the others, follow me." ”。

So saying, the people urged their horses and hurried to the river.

At the same time, the Yellow River. Liu Zhonglu and a group of cavalry rushed to the bank of the river, surrounded by Tuo Lei and Borshu.

"Look for our boat in the meadow over there!" , a Mongol general spoke up.

The retreat had already been arranged, just in case, and the Mongol army hid a batch of sheepskin rafts on the bank of the river. Once defeated, you can escape overnight on a sheepskin raft.

Now, it's finally coming in handy.

"Found it! Quickly carry the thousand households and the four princes on their backs. The general commanded again.

"I-we're defeated?" , Tuo Lei, who had been tortured to the point of unconsciousness, came to his senses at this time, and the first sentence made everyone's expression darken.

"The Yuan army is cunning, pretending to be a peace talk during the day, and will come to attack our camp at night." , the general said with a sad face.

"What about Borshu Qianhu? Why didn't he keep the camp? Tuo Lei crouched on the back of a soldier, and did not see the Borshu being carried behind him.

"Fourth Prince, Chiho - Chiho is injured." , Liu Zhonglu's face was half swollen, and his expression was gloomy.

At that time, the Yuan army fired a volley of rockets, and one of them happened to smash into the camp where Borshu was located. And by coincidence, it smashed on the glass-encrusted skylight. Then there was an explosion, and a large pile of broken glass fell on the head. The blood on the end of the Borshu immediately fainted.
