The bitter north wind whirled by, bringing up puffs of snow foam, which then dissipated. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

It was already noon, and the sun was hanging overhead, but although the sky was clear, these terrible cold snaps from Siberia further north were still a little difficult to face.

Under the city, there are probably more than 1,000 slaves of various races, who have been driven within a hundred steps of the city.

They quickly piled up walls of snow and kept approaching the city.

And behind them, three Niu Lu with white flags, about half a Niu Lu with yellow flags, and almost one thousand two or three hundred Houjin elites, were already ready, closely following behind these slaves, ready to attack the city at any time.

At the head of the city, Li Yuanqing crouched behind a simple battlement, quietly observing the movements of the Houjin army, and there was not much expression on Yingting's face.

Here and now, such an environment, for your own defense, there are really a lot of geographical advantages.

But everything is relative.

Near the castle, the snow layer is too thick, the shallow one should be half a meter, and the deep one is more than one meter.

These post-Jin troops didn't even need to build ladders, but simply let the slaves push the snow over, and the layers of snow would quickly solidify, making them even stronger than stairs.

And in such weather, heavy snow will fall at any time, and it is impossible for Li Yuanqing and his sons to clear these snow layers.

"Damn it, these dog Tartars are so shrewd!"

Seeing that the snow wall had been pushed 80 steps below the city, Xu Heizi couldn't help but spit hard.

In terms of inside the city, all kinds of defenses are well calculated, but at this time, he can't do anything about the situation outside.

Kong Youde didn't worry too much, and said with a smile: "Master Xu, don't worry. Wait for them to take another ten steps. Our bird-bells will let them understand. ”

Not far behind him, the 500 bird guns under the command of Junzi were already ready, the guns had been hot, the projectiles had been pressed into the chamber, and they could be fired directly when they were just to light the fire rope.

Xu Heizi nodded, so far, it can only be like this, suppressing these dog tartars on the outside.

Soon, the snow wall of the Tartar slaves had advanced to seventy paces, and had entered the firing range of the Immortal Camp Birds.

Kong Youde and Shunzi not far away met with one eye, and there was no need to say much, Shunzi had already understood.

He sneered slightly, and the steel knife in his hand suddenly came out of its sheath, "All of them!" these dog tartars for Lao Tzu! ”

In a moment, the Bird's Gun Soldiers took out the fire folds that had been prepared long ago, ignited the fire ropes, and aimed at the Tartar slaves under the city.

"Bang bang bang!"

In an instant, white gunpowder smoke rose, and there was a crisp chirping of birds, and hundreds of swarthy projectiles, like lightning, rushed straight towards the Tartar slave crowd not far away.

Most of these Tartar slaves also wore one or two layers of armor, and the weather was extremely cold at this time, and everyone wore thick leather coats and cotton jackets.

After this round of bird guns in the Immortal Camp, the effect was not very good, only a dozen people fell to the ground, and the rest of the Tartar slaves, like frightened birds, quickly hid behind the nearby snow wall.

"Holy shit!"

Kong Youde also noticed that something was wrong, and couldn't help but take a sip.

The weather was too bad.

If this situation continues, the role of the Bird Soldiers will be greatly limited, and it will be difficult to cause too much damage to these Tartar slaves, not to mention the main force with the white flag that has been hiding behind these slaves.

Junzi was also a little angry, and shouted: "Fucking open Lao Tzu's eyes, aim and hit again!" ”

"Yes!"

The sons and daughters did not dare to slack off, and filled the projectiles in an orderly manner.

But bad weather is a problem, and in such a situation, it is almost impossible for even a skilled bird soldier to reach the peak state as usual.

Fortunately, after a single shot, the gun tube was already hot, so there was no need to use the bonfire to heat the gun tube to melt the ice.

"Push it up, let these dog minions push it up quickly! Hahaha! ”

In the direction of the Houjin Battle Array, Du Du was surrounded by many warriors with white flags, shouting orders to the minions and slaves in front of him.

Although he has never fought against Li Yuanqing, after all, this guy is also the blood of the old slave, and he has fought since he was a child, and he has quite rich experience in war.

Although he is arrogant, he is by no means a fool.

In fact, before coming to the Northland, Du Du had already undergone careful planning, especially between him and Ning Wan, who was far closer than ordinary people.

Du Du even gave a very favored concubine to Ning Wan.

Before coming to the Northland, he also had a hangover with Ning Wan and me, and Ning Wan also stood in his perspective and carefully analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of Li Yuanqing's battle with his immortal camp for Du Du.

Mingren is good at firearms.

In particular, the firearms of the Changsheng Camp have long been famous throughout Houjin.

But Ning Wan, I am a Han Chinese, I have been familiar with hundreds of schools since I was a child, and I have also had a lot of war experience, so he clearly knows what the weakness of firearms is.

If it is really normal, the bird gun of the Immortal Camp can break through the armor at seventy steps.

Even a warrior wearing three layers of armor can be injured or even killed.

However, not only is the weather cold in the north, but the wind is also very strong, and both the warriors and slaves are wearing thick armor and cotton jackets, and although the shooting speed of the bird guns is much faster than that of bows and arrows, these strong winds will inevitably change the trajectory of some projectiles.

Even if it's just a little bit, it's enough for the warriors of Houjin.

As long as it is not a weak vital point, and there is thick armor to protect them, it is impossible to inflict fatal damage on them.

At this time, seeing that the previous speculation had been realized little by little, Du Du's mood was simply incomparably happy.

As long as the warriors under his command push the snow wall over and rush to the city, how can Li Yuanqing, these lowly Han dogs, compete with his warriors?

"Quick, push it up!"

Du Du couldn't wait any longer and shouted loudly.

Dozens of cronies and minions around him also rushed to the front, shouting loudly for the slaves to move forward.

How dare these slaves slacken? Pushing the snow wall desperately, soon, it had rushed to a distance of fifty paces below the city.

On the top of the city, the Ming army's birds chirped one after another, but as the snow walls of the Tartars piled up, the effect of the bird guns became worse and worse, and the debris on the snow walls flew sideways, but it was difficult to cause fatal damage to the Tartars.

Kong Youde and Shunzi were a little anxious, and personally rushed to the front line of the city to supervise the battle.

Then the Jin army also hid behind the snow wall, constantly shooting arrows into the sky, trying to use the parabolic trajectory of the arrows to cause damage to the Ming army.

Li Yuanqing's expression still didn't change much, and he was as silent as water.

Du Du's offensive also made him see many shortcomings of his own side.

After all, the arquebus is not a rifle, especially in such harsh weather conditions, without enough strong terrain support, its fragile side is revealed.

Of course, that's not to say that the Bird Soldiers are bad.

It's just that, according to the current technology tree of the Immortal Camp, the bird guns made are not strong enough to be competent to fight in this ultra-extreme and harsh weather.

It was recorded in Chinese textbooks that in the era of the slave chief Kang Xiaoma, Lao Maozi was in Yaksa, with only 400 musketeers, and he resisted the attack of nearly 10,000 Qing troops for nearly a year, and lost millions of kilometers of land in shame.

Of course, in Kang Xiaoma's era, the combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty had degraded, and it was obviously not comparable with the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry in its heyday at this time, but on the other hand, the use of Lao Maozi's mature arquebus was also the most critical factor.

At this time, since the prestige of the bird soldiers could not be amplified, Li Yuanqing simply did not waste the projectiles, and directly ordered all the bird soldiers to retreat and put the tartars on the city.

All the generals also understood what Li Yuanqing meant, and began to arrange them one after another.

The bird-gunned soldiers stepped back, the sword and shield soldiers stepped forward, and the rows of pikemen came up to fill in their positions.

In the final analysis, in this era, hot ~ weapons are not perfect enough, and at critical moments, it is still necessary to rely on cold weapons to play a decisive role.

This is also why Li Yuanqing tried his best to vigorously develop pikemen without paying attention to food and salary, so that they could eat well, use them well, and enjoy the highest glory.

At this time, since Du Du wanted to seek death, Li Yuanqing wanted to use a more direct way to fulfill him quickly.

Under the city, in the face of the sudden mute fire of the Ming army's bird soldiers, the Tartars below instantly boosted their morale.

Du Du laughed even more, shouting loudly to order his minions to step forward.

Soon, the attack of the snow wall with white flags had been pushed twenty paces away, desperately piling up layers of snow, trying to build a staircase between the city and the city wall.

Less than a mile behind them, Dai Shan, Mang Gurtai, Amin, Yue Tuo, and many Houjin princes and magnates were also firmly watching the movement ahead.

But seeing that Du Du's advance of the fortifications was so smooth, they couldn't react for a while.

Yue Tuo said: "Could it be that this time Du Du Blind Cat really caught the dead mouse?" Can you storm the city so smoothly? ”

Mang Gurtai said: "It's not good to say now! Li Yuanqing's pikemen were sharper. I'm afraid this is most likely a trap he devoured. ”

Amin said: "Whether it's a trap or not, we'll find out soon." However, Du Du, this kid, also has some ability. ”

Dai Shan didn't speak, his eyes widened vigorously, and he carefully observed the battle ahead.

Soon, the snow walls of the Houjin army had been piled up, and they were connected to the walls of the Ming army, and there were already warriors with white flags, who began to rush towards the city.

At this time, Du Du also came to a snow wall fifty paces below the city, and shouted loudly for his minions to rush to the city.

But the Changsheng camp at the head of the city was much quieter, and there was almost no movement, as if it had given up resistance.

Near the city gate, Shu Murong looked at the tall man in front of him with complexity.

She really couldn't imagine that the Houjin army had already rushed to the bottom of the city, and was about to rush to the top of the city, and he was still so calm.

Was he really so confident in the shabby-looking pikemen under his command?

Shu Murong is no stranger to war, does he have to rely on these pikemen who only wear a single layer of armor to deal with these warriors with white flags?

But before Shu Murong had time to think about it, in front of the city, there were already dozens of hideous faces inlaid with white flags and tartars, appearing in front of him.

They laughed and screamed, and rushed up to the city, trying to rush forward.

But before they could stabilize their footing, a command voice that Shu Murong was already very familiar with couldn't stop ringing again.

"Stab ----- right!"

In an instant, before Shu Murong could see clearly, a row of bright red neat figures, against the backdrop of the white ice and snow, were like a neat red line, and they rushed towards these Tartars!
