Chapter 975: Success in the First World War (I)

Of course, Lu Zhen and Lin Lie are quite clear about the reason, but they still have no intention of sending troops to rescue Duoyanbu, and they don't have too much to worry about, they have Jizhou City to defend, so it is not something that the Warat people can easily attack, not to mention that they have one more killer weapon at this time.

Although the Mongolian people outside the city have been paying attention to the movements in Jizhou City in the past few days, and they are also on guard against possible Ming reinforcements, they still have places that they can't take care of, such as the south gate of Jizhou far away from the north, where if someone enters and exits, it is not the Warat people who can control it at any time.

And just the night before, a convoy sneaked into Jizhou City from the south gate, although it was only a few hundred people, but it brought enough aid to the defenders to change the situation on the entire battlefield - artillery, and it was artillery transported from overseas!

As early as before Lu Zhen left the capital, the news from Suzhou that overseas merchants had transported artillery for sale. At that time, Lu Zhen was very excited, and quickly sent a message to them to transport the artillery to the capital. And then, after knowing that he was going to Jizhou to save Lin Lie from his crimes, Lu Zhen quickly changed his mind and sent someone to the south to deliver the news, asking them to reroute and send the artillery to Jizhou.

Therefore, this decision does not mean that Lu Zhen has the ability to predict the future, and he calculated that some Mongolian people would attack Jizhou City, so he made plans in advance. Instead, he wanted to test the power of these new generation artillery, so he took the Mongolian people outside the plug to test the cannon, after all, they were all enemies, which was another reason why he was not in a hurry to leave after saving Lin Lie.

It's just that what I didn't expect was that before the artillery arrived, the Wara army launched an attack on Jizhou first. Lu Jinben was also worried that the artillery might fall into the hands of the Mongols when surrounded by the enemy on all sides, but fortunately, at this time, the Duoyan people came to disrupt the situation, hindering the enemy's offensive, but let them easily let the artillery delivered in time enter Jizhou City.

With these sharp weapons, which look much lighter and more agile than the previous bulky cannons, whether it is an official or general like Lu Jinlin Lie, or an ordinary sergeant, they all have more confidence in their hearts. Although there were only five artillery pieces, as long as they were pushed outside the city and fired a few cannons at the Mongolian military camp, it was enough to shake their morale and cause casualties.

At this time, after watching the Warat army withdraw from the Duoyan camp, and the soldiers and horses hidden in the depths of the military camp also appeared one by one, Lu Zhen felt that maybe now was a great opportunity to give the other party a head-on attack.

However, he also knew that he was still half a layman when it came to using soldiers, so he proposed the idea of taking the initiative to Lin Lie. After Lin Lie heard this, he couldn't help but look up at the sky that was about to darken as it approached dusk, and muttered for a moment: "The attack at this time will indeed surprise the Tartars, and kill them by surprise!" ”

"They must not have imagined that we had stood still and attacked suddenly when their men and horses returned to the barracks. What's more, there is also artillery that can take the lead, maybe it can really break the enemy in one battle! Lu Jin's eyes flashed with excitement.

Although he had several confrontations with the Mongols, almost every time he was a passive defense, and he rarely launched an active attack, but this time was an extremely rare opportunity.

After hearing the conversation between the two, the other generals also began to be a little eager to try. Although the result of Shi Qingyan going out of the city before made them a little more towards the Mongolian people

Worried, but after seeing the bitter battle between the other party and the people of Duoyan, everyone had some confidence again. Coupled with the help of artillery, and this is a rare opportunity for a sneak attack, the generals are not a little bolder.

Lin Lie was still weighing, after all, his most important task as the chief soldier of Jizhou was to defend the city. However, he also knew that the army's morale should not be leaked, and if it still did not send troops at this time, then it would be impossible to have the opportunity to take the initiative in the future.

After thinking about it for a while, Lin Lie finally nodded with a straight face: "Leave 10,000 horses to guard the northern city gate, and the others are all ready, as soon as it gets dark, we will go out of the city to destroy the enemy!" ”

"Yes!" When the generals heard this, their spirits were immediately lifted, and they were ordered to go down to the city to make preparations.

And Lu Jin, on the other hand, turned to look at the five cannons that had been placed in front of the city gate, and his eyes also flashed with essence, whether they can create a new era depends on whether these five cannons can make contributions today.

If the Mongols outside the city are defeated today with five artillery pieces, the Ming army will have enough confidence to dare to fight with the Mongols in the field as long as there is artillery. This change in psychology and momentum will inevitably reverse the offensive and defensive posture of both sides in the future. The thought made his heart beat faster and faster, and success or failure was all in one fell swoop.

The early spring was short, and it was almost the end of the day, and it was already completely dark, and a cluster of bonfires began to be lit in the Warat camp. After today's battle, they are already very tired, and they need to take a good rest.

However, even if he felt that the Ming army no longer dared to take the initiative to attack, he still took precautions, and thousands of men and horses were added to the defense line around the camp, especially in the direction of Jizhou City, in case something unexpected.

However, tonight, because of the distance between the two sides, when the north gate of Jizhou was quietly opened, the Mongolian people in front did not notice this change. Under the cover of the night, tens of thousands of Ming troops had escorted those few artillery pieces and slowly approached the Wara camp.

This cannon looks much lighter than the previous ones, but it still weighs several hundred pounds, so it can only be carried forward on a two-wheeled vehicle. And it doesn't seem to have a range that is as large as those, and can only pose the greatest threat to targets more than three miles away, so the Ming army must move forward as much as possible so that the artillery can enter its best range.

After a silent march for half an hour, the army finally stopped three miles away from the Mongol camp, and some sergeants began to set up artillery.

After some busyness, the five guns have been adjusted, and the gunpowder and projectiles have been placed, and they can fire at the Mongolian camp in front of them at the first order. At this time, the Mongolian camp was still quiet, after all, it was still more than three miles away from them, and it had already been confirmed that the Ming army would not take the initiative to attack, who would bother to come and inspect it?

Lin Lie took a deep breath, slowly pulled out his saber, and ordered: "The whole army prepares." As soon as the artillery hits the Tartar battalion, the whole army will surprise and will not give them any respite! ”

The surrounding soldiers were silent, because it was not far from the enemy camp, and any movement might disturb the enemy, so that they could be on guard. But the eyes of these people

But it was full of perseverance, and it was obvious that he had already prepared for it.

After sweeping over the people in front of him and confirming that everything was in order, Lin Lie slammed the knife forward, and shouted in a low voice: "Kill!" ”

"Kill!" Tens of thousands of Ming soldiers immediately followed and shouted, and then some people turned over and rode their horses towards the enemy camp, and the others also held their weapons high, shouting and hurrying to follow, and the sound of killing suddenly shook the sky.

And at the same time as they rushed forward, the sergeants in the artillery behind them had also quickly lit the fuse, and in the blink of an eye, the fuse was in the end, the fire at the muzzle of the gun flashed, and the cannon roared out!

"Boom Boom Boom Boom ——!" Five improved guns from the west rang out almost simultaneously, sending the loaded shells straight to the enemy camp. Afterwards, the soldiers who acted as gunners quickly got busy, cleaning up the remnants in the chamber and quickly reloading them with new gunpowder and projectiles.

At this time, another advantage of these new guns was revealed, they were not only lighter, but also easier to operate in cleaning and loading, and in just a few moments of tea, five guns fired at the enemy camp again, and in the flash of fire, the projectiles had already whistled and flew to the enemy's head again.

At this time, the Mongolian camp was already in chaos, and the sudden killing sound was enough to make them uneasy, and now with the cannonballs falling from the sky, two of them smashed directly into a tent, killing more than a dozen sleeping Warat soldiers at that time, and the others were also so frightened that they ran out of the tent.

And in this position, the Ming army rushed over like a tiger, which was tens of thousands of elites.

The thousands of Warat troops standing in their way had just gathered in a hurry to meet them, but they were quickly swallowed up by this indomitable army, and they could not stop their footsteps at all, but instead took their own house.

After hearing this movement, he quickly summoned his subordinates and others to gather men and horses for defense, but at this time, several shells fell, killing and wounding a number of people. At this time, they were really scared, and they didn't dare to gather together, so they could only scatter and hide in the corners.

He was even more angry at first: "How can the artillery of the Ming army hit so far?" Are we still ten miles away from Jizhou City? "Before, the garrison was here, in fact, it also meant to guard against the artillery of the Ming army, after all, he had suffered artillery losses under the city of Beijing before. But who would have thought that this would be attacked by artillery again.

What made these Mongolian warriors even more frightened was that in this earth-shattering sound of cannons and killings, those tame war horses were also frightened, and many of them even broke free from their restraints and ran in all directions, so that the camp became more and more chaotic. Moreover, because the Mongols could not fight without war horses, they could not even organize a decent team to deal with it in a short period of time.

At this time, the third round of artillery rang out again, and it was only then that they confirmed that the cannon had actually come from three miles away. But even so, it still can't change the situation that the entire Mongolian camp has fallen into an extremely passive situation. At the same time, the Ming army that rushed to kill finally killed in front of their battalions, shouted and broke through the already not very strong camp gate, and started a head-on confrontation with the panicked Warat army!
