Ziren pondered for a moment and then spoke: "You look at the posture of the Tartars, they are preparing to rely on a small group of cavalry to constantly approach the city and throw earthen bags, build an earthen fort and then release arrows in the city. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" said at this time paused, looked at the Mongolian Tartars who had been coming and going in many batches under the city, frowned and said: "Although the Tartars only go out of a hundred horses each time, but this gathering sand into a tower can only be piled up in one or two days at most, and it will be ...... then."

"There's nothing to worry about." After Jin Guan interrupted Ziren, he looked at the Tartars under the city with a smile, and said with a slight increase in the corners of his mouth: "Since the Tartars dare to come to die, the artillery in our hands is not given for nothing, and we will kill the rabbits raised by these bitches." ”

"Kim is always wrong with that." Lei Zhenwei, who was in charge of the Firearms Division, saw the clue and hurriedly spoke, seeing that Jin Guan was confused, he continued to explain: "The Tartars have horses to move back and forth quickly, and even if they can hit with live ammunition, the damage to the Tartars is very limited. Moreover, the Tartars are in a loose formation, and even if they are reloaded with loose bullets, they will not be able to kill a large number of enemies, and if they open fire rashly, the gunpowder will be exhausted, and when the Tartar ants are attached to the siege, it will be troublesome. ”

Only then did Jin Guan react, in addition to the rear-mounted Furlong machine with a light door and a crosshair for easy aiming, whether it was a second general cannon or a captivating cannon that fired live ammunition, or a tiger squat cannon or a mouth gun that killed the enemy with scattered bullets, it was difficult to accurately hit the dispersed targets in rapid motion. After knowing that he had lost his words, he blinked and was stunned for a while.

After listening to this, Sun Shoujing and Feng Wensheng also felt that the wall of Pingyu Fort was no more than a zhang high, and once the Tartars built the earthen fort and suppressed it with arrows, our advantage in firearms would be greatly weakened. At that time, supplemented by a wooden ladder to climb the city, it will inevitably be a little difficult to defend the city, and his brows will gradually wrinkle when he thinks of this.

When everyone was worried, Ziren spoke: "Now the only way to wait is to select elite archers and gunners to shoot and kill the Tartars, and slow down the enemy's construction of the city. In order to prevent the Tartars from firing rockets, it is necessary to get some mud to smear on the roofs of the houses in the fort to prevent fire, and at the same time prepare more mops and quilts under the city to soak in water for fire extinguishing. ”

Ziren has frequently come up with clever plans in the past few days, and has repeatedly rushed to the front when he is about to fight, and has established his prestige in Pingyu Fort. In addition, after Tie Wei was able to lead the rescued people to join his command, Ziren's strength increased greatly. The people in the castle have gradually begun to be led by Ziren, and Sun Shoujing, the titular general in the city, really can't think of any good way. took the lead in agreeing with Ziren's proposal.

Seeing that everyone was the same, Ziren continued: "The Tartars are now approaching from the north, east, and west to build forts, and the south gate is relatively light, so it is better to let Feng General go to defend. Third Brother Sun led his troops to defend the western city, and if necessary, divided his troops to support the northern and eastern cities that Brother Jin and I were guarding. ”

"Ziren, you can rest assured!" Sun Shoujing patted his chest and stood up. As he spoke, he glanced at Jin Guan, intentionally or unintentionally, and said in a lofty manner: "I, Sun Shoujing, am by no means the one who can't be saved when I die, you must not look down on me like some people." With that, he went back to the camp and got ready.

Jin Guan knew that he was saying this to himself, and he was not to be outdone, and immediately returned to Dongcheng to be on guard. Feng Wensheng just wanted to get up when he saw this, but he was stopped by Ziren, and after letting the generals retreat first, Ziren whispered: "Although Feng General has not seen the enemy at the south gate, he has a great responsibility to guard this place, and I hope you must be careful." ”

"It's nature." Feng Wensheng said with a smile, but he couldn't help muttering in his heart: "There are no Tartars outside this south gate." Why do you need to be careful when you have the enemy platform as a horn at the gate, is this kid scared by too many tartars? ”

Ziren saw his thoughts, and said with a serious face: "The Tartar soldiers are pressing the border, and if the war is unfavorable, it is inevitable that some people in the city will be cowardly. At this time, he paused deliberately, and saw that Feng Wensheng seemed to understand what he meant, so he continued: "It's best that this is me Ding Shouming, but this Pingyu Fort is a place where Feng Junmen can settle down, and this great enemy is still cautious at present." ”

"Thank you, General Ding, for the reminder." Feng Wensheng was by no means a stupid person, and immediately understood what Ziren meant. While admiring Ziren's thoughtfulness, he led the troops to move many large grinding discs to block the south gate. Let some of the soldiers in the fort who are not strong in battle. Completely dispel the retreat.

Soon after the generals in the fort divided their actions, the carefully selected gunners and archers began to attack the Tartars.

It's a pity that the Mongols have practiced archery since childhood, and their arm strength is amazing, and they can throw the dirt bag far away for more than ten steps with the help of horses. You only need to drive the horse closer to the city and take more than 80 steps to turn over and leave.

However, whether it is a firearm or a strong bow, the accuracy and lethality at this distance are greatly reduced. Moreover, the strong bow is very laborious to fire, and even the strongest archer needs to stop for an hour after firing six or seven arrows in a row. And the old-fashioned musket guns such as three-eyed guns, fast guns, and magic guns are really unable to exert their strength at this time.

Only the Bird Gun and Three-Eyed Repeater in Ziren's army can be cast in turn to kill enemies. However, the density of firepower is inevitably somewhat insufficient. In desperation, Ziren and the golden crown had to take out the Fran machine to bombard and kill the enemy horseman.

Although the Mongol cavalry was wounded and fell from time to time, the Tartars were outnumbered and took turns to fight, and by noon they had set up a small one-man high mound on three sides of the ring city. This time the Tartars were even more unscrupulous, relying on the resistance of the mound and began to dig and build a fort.

After Ziren fired a few shots, he saw that the shells were blocked by the mound, so he ordered to stop firing in order to save gunpowder. Take out a few boxes of small rockets such as the Five Tiger Arrows, the Seven Star Arrows, and the Nine Dragon Arrows to harass the enemy, causing some chaos to the Tartars from time to time. and began to command the soldiers to erect 'curtains' on three sides around the city.

At this time, Ding Shoutie asked with a puzzled face: "The general dismantled all the tents in the camp in order to catch up with this cloth curtain, can this thing really block the tartars?" ”

Ziren smiled and said, "This cloth curtain is made of tightly woven fabric, and the back is supported by wooden sticks. The key to defending against arrows is that they are not fixed to pillars, but rather a kind of "soft support". When the Tartar's bow and arrow hit, the mantle swung backwards under the force of its impact, reducing the power of the arrow and protecting the soldiers behind the veil from being affected. Even if it is an arrow from a hard bow, the speed of the arrow slows down at the moment when it pierces through the curtain, and the direction naturally does not hurt the soldiers behind the curtain. ”

Seeing Ding Shoutie nodding again and again, Ziren continued: "After the curtain is coated with mud, it can also prevent the rockets cast by the enemy, in case the enemy uses ants to attack the city, after pouring the corpse oil, the cloth curtain can be ignited and thrown at the tartar, and the enemy will be forced back with fire." Speaking of this, Ziren seemed to remember something, and after a pause, he continued: "Shoutie went to find Feng Wensheng and asked him to help collect some tin tools, and I will be of great use to the general after dissolving."
