readx; Mang Gurtai was angry and wanted to attack the city in person, and his three generals, Tunbulu, Aibali and Il, hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded bitterly: "How noble is the prince, how can he risk the arrow stone himself, and let the servants wait to attack the city." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ。 ”

Mang Gultai roared for a while before he gradually calmed down. Although he is 'temperamental', he is not a fool, and the so-called personal siege of the city is just talk. If you really want to go, you can only be beaten into a sieve by the Ming army.

However, he was still angry, and planned to order the Han Army Banner and the 'Meng' Ancient Eight Banners to continue the attack. Tunbulu is a cunning person, he has always been the brainchild of Mang Gurtai, at this time, his eyes rolled, and he approached Mang Gurtai's ear and whispered: "Lord Wang, such a hard attack is indeed not effective. Although it is not a big deal to die some Han Chinese and 'Mongolian' ancients, such a vain death can only boost the morale of the defenders. In the opinion of the minion, it is better to outwit it instead. ”

Manggultai Pingsu attached great importance to Tunbulu's opinion, so he twisted his beard and asked with a calm face, "What plan do you have?" ”

Tunbulu's eyes the size of mung beans flashed with a cunning light, and he whispered: "The prince can let the Han people and the 'Mongolian' ancients continue to launch feints, but don't be so dense to consume the physical strength and ammunition of the Ming army." You see, the sky is now 'cloudy', and it will rain before evening. The autumn rain didn't stop, so we sneaked up to the city walls in the middle of the night. Didn't the cannon just knock down a large part of the city wall? We'll break through there! Although the firearms of the Ming army are powerful, in the rain, all their guns will be useless, and we will definitely be able to break through the city wall in one fell swoop! ”

Mang Gurtai listened carefully, felt that this plan was completely feasible, and immediately rejoiced: "Okay, just do it!" Come on, pass the order, the Han army flag and the 'Meng' ancient eight banners will be lined up for this king, and each flag will be a team of 100 people, taking turns to attack the city! ”

In fact, Mang Gurtai could have told the generals of the Han Army Banner and the 'Meng' Ancient Eight Banners about the battle plan, but he was cruel by nature, and felt that after telling them, these people would not be willing to attack seriously, so the Ming army would see the flaws. Therefore, although it was a feint, he still asked Ilshen to lead his troops to supervise the battle behind, and as long as there was fear of the enemy, he would immediately enforce military law.

The generals of the Han Army Banner and the 'Mongolian' Ancient Eight Banners complained bitterly, thinking to themselves that they had not been able to approach the Yongding 'Gate' in such a large-scale attack just now, and that all the chariots and cannons had been destroyed; now a hundred people and a hundred people on the ground were not even more sent to death in vain? And just let us go to death, why don't you reckless Gurtai and your blue flag go up?

But Mang Gurtai has the power of life and death, and just now he angrily beheaded dozens of artillerymen, who dares to disobey at this juncture? The generals had no choice but to take the order, and in a short time, the soldiers and horses of the Han army banner and the eight banners of the 'Mongolian' ancient banner, a total of 16 banners, each banner of 100 people, launched an attack at the same time on a wide front of more than 20 miles.

After destroying the Qing army's Hongyi cannon, Meng Gong immediately led his troops to retreat. The free cannon and rapid-fire cannon on the head of the city also came with a fierce salvo of 'fire', which bombarded the Qing soldiers who tried to pursue it, so the two Ming armies outside the city successfully retreated into the city.

As soon as Meng Gong entered the city, Zhu Youzhen had already led Yuan Keli and Xie Sheng to personally come down from the city to greet him. At this time, all the soldiers were thunderous with joy, on the one hand, because they destroyed the artillery of the Qing army and removed the greatest threat to the city wall of the enemy; On the other hand, just now the emperor personally shouted "Long live the Ming soldiers", these simple six words, but it is the highest reward for all the Ming troops who fought bloodily! Therefore, everyone was 'excited', and some people were even moved to cry.

Zhu Youzhen was also full of emotion, because although this battle did not last long, it was the strongest attack of the Qing army. Although it occupies the geographical advantage of defending the city and has powerful firearms to help, after all, the Qing army's strength is far superior to that of the Ming army, and it still caused some casualties to the Ming army.

The cannon that collapsed the city wall killed fifteen people and wounded more than thirty; Of the hundreds of soldiers who followed Meng Gong out of the city, six of them were killed by arrows; Nearly 20 people were killed by arrows when the two armies were 'shooting' at each other. Counting the wounded, the Ming army lost nearly 200 people in this battle. Although the casualties of the Qing army were more than ten times higher, Zhu Youzhen was still heartbroken. Because if the Ming army was full of firepower, it could completely scare the Qing army back, and it was only in order to 'lure' the enemy to attack that it deliberately got closer before fighting.

Therefore, Zhu Youzhen immediately issued an edict to give heavy sympathy to the fallen soldiers, and the family members of each fallen soldier could receive a pension of 200 taels of silver. He also rewarded the meritorious soldiers, especially the gunners who destroyed the Qing army's Hongyi cannon, each of whom was rewarded with 50 taels of silver, and the rest were also rewarded, and they were cashed on the spot, and 50,000 taels were distributed at one time. Although the soldiers did not defend the city for the silver, they received such a rich reward, which shows that the emperor recognized their bravery very much, and their morale was greatly boosted.

Yuan Keli also smiled and proposed: "Your Majesty has named the newly purchased Franc cannon Xiaoyao Cannon, and the three 'doors' cannons that have made great achievements just now should also be named together." ”

Zhu Youzhen thought about it, originally this kind of cannon was the main gun on the battleship, and it also belonged to the cannon according to the type. Now that the Easy Cannon has been named, this kind of cannon with a longer range and greater power should be given a loud name. He pondered for a moment and then smiled: "I remember that Concubine Ling's great-ancestor Qi Jiguang once had a poem: the forerunners are all generals, and they are all in array. The 'general' and 'Yuan Rong' were both cannon names at that time. Lord Shangshu, what do you think of the name 'Yuan Rong Cannon'? ”

Yuan Keli immediately praised: "Your Majesty, this name is good!" According to Chen Shou's "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms", its crossbow is made of iron, the arrow is eight inches long, a crossbow and ten arrows are fired, and it can reach hundreds of steps away, so it is called "Yuan Rong", and Yuan Rong means marshal. This cannon is powerful, the crown of all cannons, and it should be the name of Yuan Rong! ”

Zhu Youzhen was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately officially named this cannon Yuanrong cannon. and ordered someone to go to the palace to report the victory, especially to Qi Meifeng, who was still recuperating. Because the Yuan Rong cannon is named according to Qi Jiguang's poems, it is also equivalent to praising his descendants. Since Zhu Youzhen couldn't go back to the palace to take care of Qi Meifeng, he had to express his feelings and guilt for her in this way.

As for the more than 100 wounded soldiers, Zhu Youzhen ordered them to withdraw from the battle immediately, and wrote a note ordering them to be sent back to the palace together. Not long after, Chen Sicheng hurried to arrive, saw Zhu Youzhen and said: "Long live, Concubine De Niangniang has already seen the long live strip." Now Concubine Ling Niangniang is no big problem, and she only needs to recuperate later, and Concubine De Niangniang ordered the grass people to come and wait for the dispatch of Long Live Niangniang. ”

Zhu Youzhen hurriedly asked: "Have you practiced the technique of blood transfusion later?" ”

As soon as Chen Sicheng heard this, he said confidently: "Long live Hui, the grass people have actually done it more than 100 times, and now they are very sure!" ”

"Good!" Zhu Youzhen said happily, "Hurry up and check the wounded, if there is excessive blood loss, immediately transfuse and rescue!" ”
