The destruction of the Mongolian soldiers in Kadang City made the Mongolian soldiers outside the city feel that reinforcements must have come in the city, their morale was frustrated, and they were no longer as desperate as the original attack, and the corpses of the Mongolian soldiers were thrown out of the city after being ignited by the Heavenly Mandate Army, which was an insult to them, however, in the face of strength, the Mongolian soldiers chose to be silent collectively, and even Lin Dan Khan, who was supervising the battle behind, only frowned, and then turned his gaze to the side.

After being constantly attacked by Zhou Bin, the momentum of the Mongol offensive was suppressed, and it was difficult to climb even the middle of the ladder, let alone the head of the city, and the weaker the Mongol offensive, the more effective the shooting of the Mandate of Heaven would be.

The gunners of Zhou Bin's department once set a record of "zero deaths" against Mongolian Maili cadres in Kadang City, and participated in the big battles in Longyou and Guguan in succession, and their combat experience was no less than that of Ma Youshui's 6,000 households, which was much stronger than that of the Song Ministry of Culture.

Although the soldiers of these five hundred households were not many in number, they gradually drove the Mongols outside the city outside the city outside the ladder, greatly easing the Mongol offensive.

Li Zi was established under the banner of the Kyushu Army, facing Lin Dan Khan under the city from afar, although he didn't know him, he knew that Lin Dan Khan must be far away from some unknown place, watching the situation on the battlefield.

He didn't bother to care about Lin Dan Khan, if he couldn't beat the Mongolian cavalry to the point of heartache, with Lin Dan Khan's nomadic nature, he would never withdraw the army, where was Lin Dan Khan's bottom line?

The main energy of the Mandate of Heaven Army is still in the imperial court, Wang Anping's ranger is in Shaanxi, Wu Ermao's shadowless gate is in Sichuan, and Li Zicheng's understanding of the nomads outside the Guanxi is mainly some fragmentary knowledge in later generations, and the understanding of Lin Dan Khan, except for those fragrant stories, is almost zero.

I have seen Lin Dan Khan many times, but after all, it is different from history, and the authenticity cannot be verified.

It seems that in the future, we must learn more about these nomadic peoples, the territory of the Mandate of Heaven is getting bigger and bigger, and there will be more and more places where it intersects with nomads.

The Mongols outside the city are endless, but the number should not exceed 10,000, when the day in Guguan, the Mandate of Heaven army faced Hong Chengchou's offensive, the Ming army numbered tens of thousands, and there was the protection of the shield, but it was able to deal with it calmly, several times under the city to annihilate 10,000 Ming troops, and today in the face of a smaller number of Mongolian soldiers, why is Kadang City in danger?

Is it simply because there are not enough gunners?

Li Zicheng concentrated his eyes and once again set his eyes on the Mongolian soldiers who were besieging the city, so it was!

The Mongols did not have shields, and fought by bravery, so they attacked faster, and they were not afraid of death, and there were no distractions in their hearts, and when they attacked the city, they were more difficult than the fearful Ming army.

Moreover, not long after the establishment of Kadang City, the protective facilities in the city were not perfect, unlike Guguan, where the head of the city leaned against the parapet wall, there was a giant shield that could be folded, which could guard against arrows from the overhead, so when the Mongols threw at the city, the Mandate of Heaven army would have a large number of casualties.

The defense of Kadang City will naturally be more difficult.

Li Zicheng has always attached great importance to the protection of soldiers, although he did not say it, but he knows that soldiers are the capital to win battles, build the country, and protect China, if there is no strong, loyal, and cohesive army, in this troubled era, to realize their ideals is tantamount to a fool's dream!

He can't change the way the Mongols survive and attack, but he can improve the defense of Kadang City!

It just so happened that Li Guo's cavalry, for the time being, did not have to fight, it was the best person to improve the defense of Kadang City, Li Zicheng called Li Guo, who was doing nothing under the city, "Double happiness, take people to cut down trees outside the city, first make a wide shield, and then buckle upside down to the inside of the city wall in the interval between battles to help the soldiers guard against the arrows above their heads!" ”

"Yes, Grand Duke!" Li Guo has been stationed in Anrong Pass, at most he attacked once at Maluyi, and did not directly participate in the defense of Guguan, but he is also very familiar with the situation of Guguan.

The sun gradually turned westward, and after a while, it was no longer as vicious as before, but the Mongol soldiers under the city were listless, and although they maintained the attack on Kadang City, their intensity had been greatly weakened.

In this way, the Mandate of Heaven army at the head of the city can shoot the Mongolian soldiers more calmly, and the Mongolian sword soldiers who are attacking the city have been forced to retreat outside the cloud ladder, and the Mongolian archers in the rear are also suffering heavy casualties, and the density of arrows shooting at the head of the city is also much smaller.

Seeing that there was no hope of breaking the city, Lin Dan Khan ordered the withdrawal of the army after losing their lives under the city in vain.

But his brow was twisted into a lump of flesh, and the only remaining livestock of his own were waiting to be fed, and the grass near the big tent was almost gnawed away, and if he could not quickly move south to the city of Kadang in front, at least half of these livestock would be starved to death.

Without livestock, what would the warriors eat? He was still counting on these warriors to help him dominate the grassland again, but now ...... Why did this damn Han people build a city here?

Zhou Bin handed over the task of shooting the wounded soldiers to a few hundred household officials, and came to Li Zicheng's side by himself, "Dadu Governor, the Mongols have withdrawn, Dadu Governor has worked all the way, let's go back to the camp to rest!" ”

Li Zicheng saw that it was not early, and the Mongols had suffered a head-on attack from the 5,000 households, and they should not attack the city for the time being, so he said: "After the wounded soldiers are shot, leave one hundred households to defend the city, and the rest of the brothers, let them go back to the camp to rest!" ”

"Yes, Grand Duke!"

Li Zicheng left the city, came to the camp, asked Song Wen where to recuperate, and went to his big tent, and the guards saw it, and hurriedly saluted Li Zicheng, "Governor! ”

Li Zicheng waved his hand, "How is Song Qianhu now?" ”

"Back to the Metropolitan Governor, Lord Qianhu is asleep...... the commander of the pro-soldiers bowed down and whispered: "The military doctor has examined it, Lord Qianhu has suffered all external injuries, nothing serious, it's just ...... It's just bleeding too much......"

"Bleeding too much?" Li Zicheng frowned lightly, "Song Qianhu has tried his best to defend the city, you have to take care of him!" ”

"Yes, the Metropolitan Governor, the subordinates will never dare to slack off!"

Li Zicheng nodded slightly, and said, "Lead the way in front of the head, I want to see Song Qianhu in person!" ”

The commander of the pro-soldiers was busy in front of the big tent, leading Li Zicheng in, in order not to disturb Song Wen's rest, Li Zicheng's pro-soldiers stayed outside the big tent, only Ke Xiaomi followed him.

Song Wenzheng was lying quietly on the plank bed, a thin layer of sheet, covering only below the abdomen.

There was a slight smile on the bronze face, which was exposed outside the sheets, and the chest was wrapped in a thick white cloth, but the blood still seeped out, and there was a faint trace of blood red.

This Song Wen is really desperate, Li Zicheng sighed secretly, he was an officer of the original Xining Guard, after joining the new Xining Army, because of his age, he did not participate in a big battle, but now, he ...... Be old and strong!

The same person, in the original Xiningwei, was beaten by the Mongols and fled, but in today's Mandate of Heaven Army, he can fight to the end with dozens of times the Mongolian ace Khan army.

Sitting down on the edge of Song Wen's bed, Li Zicheng felt more and more that it was not the combat effectiveness of the Han people, but the problem was the system, and it was impossible to guarantee that the combat effectiveness of the Han soldiers would be brought into full play!

Nomads are slaughtering, and all people are soldiers...... However, Li Zicheng still does not intend to learn their habit of being a soldier for all the people, after all, the nomadic people are a nomadic way of life, in addition to herding, they are to kill, plunder, give them thousands of years, if there is no intervention of advanced civilization, they are still nomadic nature, the nation will not develop, the country will not progress, and there is not even the concept of the state, only a loose tribal alliance......

As long as the policy is right, with the courage and courage of the Han people, as long as the people's wisdom is fully opened and the trend is conformed to the trend, it is entirely possible to enter a rich and developed modern country under the guidance of science and technology.

In a special historical period, perhaps the military needs to take precedence, but the military is absolutely not the whole of the country, and the farming people are different from the nomadic peoples, and if there is no strong comprehensive national strength to support them, the military will never be able to sustain its abnormal development.

They should not be led astray by war with the nomads.

A normal country and nation must not be a soldier for all its people, otherwise how can they have the manpower and material resources to engage in industry and commerce, education, and scientific research? The greatest and long-term threat to the adversary is not the nomadic people's all-round soldiers, but the balanced development of a country's agriculture, industry and commerce, education, science and technology, and military, and the formation of the ability to sustain development.

Soldiers are engaged in wars to defend their homes and defend the country, while ordinary people work and live normally, improve the country's agriculture, industry and commerce, education, science and technology, and military standards, and make due contributions in their own posts, which is the law of the country's long-term peace and stability.

Of course, this is the long-term vision of the Chinese country, and the key is the present, how to hold Kadang City and weaken the power of Lin Dan Khan is the top priority.

Li Zicheng naturally couldn't make a "rice cook", he was waiting, waiting for the follow-up infantry to arrive, and only after Lin Dan Khan's strength further declined, it was possible to launch a counterattack.

In the current Kadang City, the Song Wen Department has almost completely lost its combat capability, and the Zhou Bin Department only has five hundred gunmen, even if it adds Li Guo's five hundred personal soldiers, it is not able to launch a counterattack at all.

There will be city defense in various places in the future, the territory of the Mandate of Heaven Army is getting bigger and bigger, it is absolutely impossible for every city to be stationed with heavy troops, how to strengthen the defense ability of the city and save the number of soldiers?

At the head of Guguan City, howitzers have been deployed, which can greatly improve the ability to guard, but once the enemy risks death to attack the city, into the blind spot of howitzers, the howitzers will lose their effectiveness, just like today's Kadang City, if the Mongols have begun to attack the city, even if there are howitzers, they will lose their due effect.

Although the traditional rolling stone wood can ward off the enemy, it requires a lot of materials and has a limited effect, what should I do?

Li Zicheng thought for a long time, and suddenly remembered the siege weapon of the Heavenly Mandate Army...... Bomb!

If you create a large number of bombs, you can work with howitzers to form a long-range coordination and enhance the city's protection ability!

Li Zicheng was worried that he would forget this inspiration in the future, so he called He Xiaomi, whispered a few words, asked him to write it down, and when he returned to Xining, he asked the Firearms Bureau to start implementing it.

Maybe it was Li Zicheng's words that startled Song Wen, only to see that he, who was originally snoring, suddenly raised his right hand, holding a knife, his eyes had not yet opened, but his mouth was shouting: "Take a step forward, give birth to ......"
