1031 The emperor wants to watch the video
So, after collecting the troops, King Talong finally convened a military meeting again, and the leaders of the various Tusi finally saw him. However, at this time, they had nothing to say. Because it took two days, their men were basically exhausted, and even the leader of the toast had two dead. Gu Zhaoshi is lucky, there are still about a hundred people under his command, which is already a lot of the rebel Tusi leaders!
At this time, the Gu Zhaoshi, like the other Tusi leaders, just stood dumbfounded. Even when King Ta Long spoke there, saying that they had already made meritorious service and that they would not need to be the vanguard of the siege tomorrow, he was just forcing a smile. In his heart, it was actually anger at King Long and regret for his original choice.
Now King Ta Long has let them go, just because the Ming army in the city has almost consumed the equipment to defend the city, and in the battle tomorrow, if the Dongwu army goes on its own, it is already very sure that it will be able to capture Meng Mi. Hehe, pick a good peach! Gu Zhaoshi thought to himself in his heart, not hearing anything about the other arrangements of King Long.
King Talong arranged the arrangements for tomorrow's battle, and all the Dongwu generals were very relaxed and impassionedly received the military orders. No one is a fool, and they can see that if the established Ming army has no equipment to defend the city, it is the end of the crossbow, and it is logical to capture Meng Mi!
At this moment, the quartermaster came out and said to King Talong: "Your Highness, the war has been fierce in the past few days, and the grain and grass materials have been consumed a lot, and the grain and grass transportation arranged on weekdays is far less than the consumption. ”
King Ta Long nodded when he heard this, the road is not easy to walk, and the grain and grass carried with the army are limited after all. In the past few days of war, in order to allow all kinds of toasts to attack the city well, there is no deduction in food and materials, and those people, before they die, they also let go of their stomachs one by one, and become a full ghost, and the consumption of this grain and grass is also predictable. But it doesn't matter, Meng Mi can be laid down tomorrow, and the grain and grass supply place is not far from Baojing, if necessary, send more people to transport it.
Thinking like this, King Ta Long decided: "Wait until tomorrow to defeat Meng Mi, see the capture gains, if it is not enough for the needs of the army, then send people to Baojing!" ”
When the quartermaster thought about it, it made sense, so he didn't insist and retreated as ordered.
At this time, in Mengmi City, there was no panic because of the consumption of the ordnance defending the city. The officers and men of the Ming army, under the inspection of the officers of various armies, did whatever they had to do. Even King Tang calmly inspected the circle with a smile, which was even more able to stabilize the army's heart.
In the chat group, Emperor Chongzhen was learning about the progress of the war, knowing about the Tusi rebellion and the siege of the city, and he understood that the news exposed to the Tusi before should make him make up his mind.
Thinking so, he issued an order in the group: "In this case, if the main force of Dongwu comes to attack tomorrow, I will teach them a lesson." Over there, you can do it tomorrow! ”
With this will, Zhang Fengyi immediately made a statement to Qin Liangyu.
When Qin Liangyu heard this, he smiled and nodded, with a hint of longing on his face, the army is ready, then wait for tomorrow to surprise the Dongwu people!
Whether it was the Ming army or the Dongwu army, both sides were looking forward to tomorrow's big battle, and they were preparing for the war, and this night was very peaceful.
On the hill, King Talong once again climbed the high platform, eating delicious food, drinking wine, and smiling at the Mengmi city in the distance. The ministers who accompanied the car, watching the elite of Dongwu rearming for battle, were all excited.
"Your Highness, you will definitely be able to spend the night in Mengmi City tonight!"
"What tonight? Don't you see that even the elephant army has gone up, if you want me to say, Your Highness will be able to go to Mengmi City to eat at noon today! ”
"What is that, King Tang doesn't know what Zhang looks like? It's supposed to be clear-eyed, right? You can see it today! ”
“……”
Hearing these words, King Talong felt that today's wine seemed to be more mellow than the one of the previous days, so he said in a loud voice: "Good wine, good wine!" ”
The surviving Tusi leaders also drove aside, looking at the joy of the Dongwu monarchs, they were a little angry and a little gloomy in their hearts. They were angry that the Dongwu army was able to defeat Meng Mi today, and it wasn't they who used their lives to pile it up! The Dongwu army is just sitting back and enjoying its success! Gloomily, he suffered heavy losses, and he also brought it on himself. Of course, such as Gu Zhaoshi, these people don't have much regret in their hearts, at least at this time, they think that under the attack of the Dongwu army, Meng Mi will be broken. If he stubbornly tied up with the Ming army, he might not even be able to save his own life.
Just as they were thinking about it in mixed moods, the "dong dong" war drums sounded, echoing in the sky above Mengmi City. Groups of elite Dongwu soldiers began to advance towards the city wall, and in the middle of them, there were even things that resembled carts, driven forward by elephant slaves. The Dongwu army has obviously made inevitable preparations for this siege.
At the beginning, it was indeed as King Talong expected, the Ming army at the head of the city had significantly fewer defensive equipment, so that the Dongwu army entered the city and began to attack from the back, and there were several city walls, and they were even almost attacked.
King Ta Long was very excited when he saw it, and immediately raised his hand for a while, and passed the order, asking his subordinates to step up the siege of the city, so as not to give the Ming army at the head of the city a chance to breathe. The Dongwu army could also see the battle situation, and with the order of King Talong, more Dongwu soldiers flocked up, just to be the first to climb the city.
"Hehe, just this Ming Army, I also want to come to destroy my Dongwu, dream!" King Ta Long sneered, tilted his neck, drank all the wine in the cup, and then shouted: "Pour wine!" ”
It seems that those fine wines are like Ming Jun, and he wants to drink them clean.
However, at this moment, at Meng Micheng's head, another scene suddenly happened that stunned them.
I saw that things suddenly flew out of the city, which seemed to be thrown by catapults, and crossed beautiful arcs in the air, and smashed near the trench in a blink of an eye, and smashed into the Dongwu army, and then, I saw that one by one the fireballs also fell with the previous things, and they also fell near the trench, and the mutation suddenly appeared, which made King Long stunned.
I saw that after those fireballs landed, suddenly a belt of fire ignited with lightning speed, and it circled the city and was still very wide. The unlucky ones on this fire belt suddenly became fire men one by one, and while screaming, they danced and struggled, but they quickly fell down and never got up again.
On the outside of the fire belt, those Dongwu troops narrowly escaped, and while glad that they were a little slower, they hurriedly retreated to the back; On the inside of the fire belt, those Dongwu troops wanted to flee in panic, but because of the isolation of the fire belt, they couldn't escape at all, so they could only hide in the direction of the city in order to avoid the fire.
King Ta Long was holding the wine glass, he had forgotten to drink, and he didn't even stand up unconsciously, staring at Meng Mi Chengxia stupidly. Didn't the Ming army only have a little bit of fire oil, and didn't it run out in the previous siege battle? Why is there so much oil all of a sudden?
However, that's not all. Just when King Ta Long was thinking in astonishment, he saw the Ming army at the head of the city drop smoking things one after another. In the distance, he could see the things that had fallen from the city, spewing fire and smoke, whirling rapidly in the pile of men of the cave soldiers. The fire was brought to this distance of the city wall, and it was found everywhere, and it was obvious that the Ming army at the head of the city did not favor one over the other, and tried to take care of every place.
I only heard the screams of those Dongwu soldiers, and the sound was so loud that even King Talong in the distance could hear it clearly. Seeing them covering their mouths and noses, and seeing them desperately slapping the flames on their bodies, as long as the people with a little clear mind know that this group of attacking Dongwu soldiers has only one way to die!
When the Tusi leaders who rebelled and defected to the enemy saw this scene, they couldn't help but be dumbfounded. When did the Ming army in the city have such sharp equipment to defend the city? Why hasn't I taken it out before? In today's battle, the besieging army suffered such heavy losses, if there were many such siege equipment, would this Meng Mi still be able to defeat it?
For the first time, they had doubts about whether they could defeat Meng Mi!
In fact, as the people who sit on Dongwu's side with their butts, if they doubt whether they can defeat Meng Mi, it actually means that they don't believe that they can defeat Meng Mi. But at the same time, the white pole army was full of confidence, appeared in front of the Baojing Donggo army, and confidently launched an attack in broad daylight.
The city wall of Mengmi City is short, but there is a city wall, after all, it is where the original Mengmi Xuanwei Division is located. Baojing, on the other hand, is just a town, and there is no city wall at all. The Ming army appeared in the south of Baojing like a divine soldier descending from the sky, and was so frightened that the Dongwu guard almost fell to the ground. He hurriedly sent people to report to King Talong, and at the same time reorganized his army for battle.
When the general of Dongwu saw that most of the Ming army was infantry, and there were ten war elephants in the army on his side, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The Dongwu army has always had few opponents in the war, that is, the elephant army is powerful, under the protection of the rattan armor, the war elephant is rampant, basically no enemy can withstand it, just a wave, it will be defeated. This time, although the Ming army suddenly emerged from the south, it was absolutely impossible for them to stop the Dongwu war elephants.
For the Dongwu soldiers, their minds were the same as their generals, they relied on the war elephants, hid behind the war elephants, and launched an attack on the Ming army.
Qin Liangyu looked at this scene and just sneered. As for the combat habits of the Dongwu army, the factory guards have already investigated it clearly, and they have already had a way to deal with it. Now, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it. Thinking so, he looked at the flintlock army, and it seemed that they had taken the lead first.
To tell the truth, this flintlock army is actually the first time to go to the battlefield, and it is fake not to panic in the face of the elite Dongwu army. However, when they remembered that by their side, there was the famous white pole army of Daming; When they remembered that the weapon in their hand was designed to restrain those behemoths, their minds settled again.
Staff General Wei Shouze was a veteran, and at this time, beside the flintlock muskezeers on the front line, he shouted loudly and ordered the gun battalion to step forward, ready to meet the enemy.
Two-person groups of two came to the front of the line, one carrying the barrel of a gun about a foot long, and the other holding the butt of the gun in the back and began to aim. Then lined up, in a long column, under the orders of the officers, several adjacent guns were responsible for an elephant, and the battle was about to break out.
Wei Shouze was right behind them, shouting while patrolling: "If you don't get a military order, the shooter will be killed!" The white pole army is right behind you, retreat after the fight, safely, don't panic! ”
Either it was because of the harsh military orders, or because of the good training in peacetime, of course, it was also possible that they knew that the white pole army was behind them, anyway, no matter what, the soldiers of the gun-carrying battalion were aiming steadily, and no one dared to shoot in advance.
This kind of gun lifting, loading is not easy, on the battlefield, generally can only be fought once, after the fight has to retreat, unless the battle is anxious, otherwise there is no chance to fire a second shot. However, the flintlock musketeers behind them were different, arranged in three stages, and there was no gun at this time, just waiting for the spear-carrying battalion in front to make the first move.
Zhang Fengyi and her husband are together, the two of them are the cavalry leading the white pole army, guarding the flanks of the army, and after the foot soldiers are defeated head-on, they will go to pursue the router. However, Zhang Fengyi still has a task, that is, to record the first use of the gun with the new video function in the chat group, and then pass it to the emperor for inspection.
The war elephants of the Dongwu army, driven by the elephant soldiers, roared "moo", and after slowly approaching the side of the Ming army, they began to accelerate significantly. The Dongwu army behind the war elephant also began to trot. They cooperated with the war elephant many times, and knew that once the war elephant ran away, it was simply an unstoppable monster, and nothing could stop its impact.
Habitually, they also roared, increasing the momentum of the battlefield, as if they were like angry waves, trying to drown the opponent in front of them.
Wei Shouze stared coldly at the attack of the Dongwu army, especially the ten war elephants, all of them were adult male elephants, tall and tall, and the power of the oncoming elephant was indeed great. But he just sneered and watched.
The gun is raised far enough away that it can shoot with poor accuracy. Therefore, even though the war elephant had entered the effective firing range, Wei Shouze still did not move, he had been silently estimating in his heart, getting closer and closer, closer and closer, so close that when he felt that the ground under his feet was shaken by the elephant on the opposite side, he ordered loudly: "Shoot!" ”
When the officers of the various armies saw the red flag hand holding next to the commander waving the red flag, they suddenly shouted loudly: "Shoot!" ”
Suddenly, the sound of "Woo Woo Woo" was heard continuously, and a thick smoke suddenly emerged from the Ming army's position. This movement can be described as earth-shattering, after all, there are a lot of guns in a row, and shooting together, although the power is not as strong as artillery, but it is big enough!
The elephant in the run, with the abnormal movement on the position of the Ming army, suddenly, let out a miserable scream.
