344 Alternative siege methods of cavalry

The siege battle outside the Xining Acropolis happened suddenly, but it was so natural, the reason why it was said to be sudden, that is because, the army of Turpan did not persuade the other siege wars to surrender in front of the station, you know, the pre-war persuasion, this is what all dynasties have done since ancient times, in addition to the sneak attack war, as long as it is the time when the army is opposed, both sides will carry out such a persuasion, especially when the difference in strength between the two sides is too huge, the strong side will do this kind of persuasion.

The reason why it is necessary to persuade surrender before the war is not only to show their benevolence and generosity, but more importantly, to disturb the morale of the other side, it is said that the defeat of the army is like a mountain, when the gap between the strength of the two sides is too large, the pressure in the minds of the soldiers of the weaker side is very huge, if at this time, there is a person who can speak well, appear on the battlefield, and persuade the soldiers to surrender, then the effect is very huge.

But this time, Amer Khan and Tu Slow did not persuade him to surrender, so he directly opened the posture and launched a direct attack, the reason why this is so is because both Tu Slow and Amer Khan know in their hearts that no matter what, Shi Lei as the pillar of the Shaanxi Imperial Court, it will definitely not surrender, even if he is willing, the people around him will not agree, this is not only because of the problem of face, but also related to the future dignity of the Shaanxi Imperial Court, when anything rises to the height of the country, That's not something a few people can change.

"The warriors of Turpan, the most powerful person in the Shaanxi court, are now in the city in front, as long as we catch him, then we can get huge wealth and benefits that we can't even think of, warriors, for this king, for our great Turpan country, for your parents and family, rush!" When the sun just rose, the army of Turpan has been assembled, and as the commander of the army, the king of Turpan, Amer Khan is galloping in front of the army, loudly encouraging the morale of the soldiers, I have to say that Amer Khan is indeed a very qualified commander, he knows very well what these soldiers need most now, therefore, in just a few words, the morale of all the soldiers was stimulated, looking at the soldiers who were panting and their eyes were a little red, Amer Khan nodded triumphantly.

"Boom, boom" cavalry was an invincible land tank in ancient times, and the reason why they are said so is because when countless cavalry are united and galloping, it is an invincible existence, and everything that stands in front of them will be torn to pieces by them.

When the army of Turpan launched an attack, the whole day seemed to tremble, and even the soldiers of the Ming army standing on the top of the city could clearly feel the shaking.

"Aren't they crazy, they actually want to rush up on a war horse, do they think this city wall is made of tofu, barbarians are barbarians, it's simply unreasonable, looking at this battle, there is nothing to fight, it's like them, we don't have to send troops, they will all die under the city wall." When the cavalry army was launched, although it looked very spectacular, but for the Ming soldiers at the head of the city, this was just a child, these people had experienced the kind of battle of hundreds of thousands of people, although this scene was a little shocking, but it didn't make them stupid, but some generals at the head of the city, after seeing their crazy behavior, couldn't help but say, what I said just now was what Li Guo said.

After hearing Li Guo's words, many generals who knew the details laughed and said nothing, and some of the generals who had never seen this style of play like Li Guo echoed his words, and saw that there were too many people who echoed Li Guo, Shi Lei, who was standing in front, said, "You guys, you have been on the battlefield for a long time, but in the face of this situation, you are still so ignorant, the official told you, don't think that these Turpan people are fools, although they may be inferior to our Han people, But they are all veterans of the battlefield, how can they use cavalry to attack the city. ”

Speaking of this, Shi Lei turned to look at the Turpan army that was attacking quickly outside the city, and stopped talking, and after saying half of this, Li Guo and others felt extremely uncomfortable in their hearts, so after looking at the generals in front of him, he set his eyes on the Mongol dressed Chitu, and now Chitu is also an important figure in the entire Shaanxi Ming army, because he followed Shi Lei earlier, and at the same time he was also very loyal to Shi Lei, so Shi Lei also entrusted him with important tasks. Not to mention the tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry under his command, even among the cavalry of the Han people, many high-ranking generals have studied with Chitu for a period of time, and they can be regarded as the veterans of the entire Shaanxi cavalry team.

"Come on, General Chitu, tell us what the hell is going on, why do you say that these people under the city are not crazy, if not, how can they rush towards the city wall like this?" Li Guo pulled Chitu and asked.

Seeing Li Guo who was asking, Chitu smiled and said, "General Li, in fact, this matter is very simple, you know, with the continuous war between our grassland people and your Han people, we have also slowly summarized the method of how to attack the city, of course, although this method is not as professional as when you attack the city, but it still has a huge effect, just like now, we seem that these Turpan people are rushing towards us quickly, but in fact it is not the case.

You know, whether it's us Mongols or their Turpan people, we are all a people on horseback, so you don't see that these people attack very quickly, but as long as they want to stop or change course, it is very easy, so you don't have to be afraid that they will crash into the city wall, according to the usual experience, they will stop more than a hundred steps from the city wall, and then shoot arrows at us, in such a short distance, with their ability, They will be able to easily suppress the attack on our city, and in this way, they will buy enough time for them to transport the return cannon behind, and then, as long as the return cannon is very close to the city, they will be able to attack us with the return artillery, so that the defenders of our city will face a powerful attack, and the casualties will be certain, and finally, when we are not paying attention at all, they will rush to the city, although this method is simple, but it is very effective. “

"Ahh

After listening to Chitu's explanation, Li Guo and the others couldn't help but sigh in surprise, they couldn't have imagined that a barbarian who looked extremely rude would have such a strange method, if it wasn't for Chitu's explanation, they probably wouldn't even be able to think of it.

"Then what to do, now that they have rushed over, we should also go out of the city to fight, but we must not let them rush to our front, otherwise we will only be beaten passively." After being surprised, one of the generals spoke.

"Hahaha, you can rest assured of this, General Chitu also said just now, this is what they summed up to deal with the original city, but now if you want to use this trick against us, it won't work, you must know, although due to the form, many weapons have not been brought, but we are not powerless to fight back, you people just take a good look, and have a long experience, and when you encounter them in the future, you will know what to do." After hearing the general's words, Shi Lei said with a fierce smile.

Just when Shi Lei and others at the head of the Xining Acropolis were sitting firmly in the Diaoyutai, Amer Khan, who was commanding the army to attack the city outside the city, saw that his army was about to rush to the Xining Acropolis, but the Ming army at the head of the city did not react, his face was also happy, and he couldn't help but say to the Tu slowly beside him, "This is what you call a very powerful Ming army, and it is still commanded by Shi Lei, who defeated your Prince Yu, I can't even see through such a simple means, and dare to say that the strength is strong, it seems that after you entered the Manchu Dynasty." , and it's not as strong as it used to be. ”

Hearing Amer Khan's words, Tu Slow had a humble look on his face, but there was a sneer in his heart, for the strength of the Ming Army in Shaanxi, he had a deep understanding, and it was precisely because of this that he believed that now the Ming Army in the city did not move, that is there must be a greater conspiracy, as long as the Ming Army dares to launch, then it must be a thunderous momentum, when the time comes, Amer Khan is afraid that he is trying to laugh, and he will not be able to laugh, and for this situation, that is exactly what Tu Slow is willing to see, after all, in his mind, whether it is the Ming Army of Shaanxi, or Amer Khan and the Turpan army, both of which are enemies of the Manchu Qing, no matter who loses or wins, anyway, it is the Qing Dynasty that gets the benefits in the end, in this case, why is he not happy?

Just as Amer Khan spoke, the Turpan army, which was originally charging, came to a distance of more than 100 steps from the Xining Guarded City, and all the charging troops stopped so abruptly as if they had been given a fixed spell, and when they saw this scene, whether it was the people in the city or under the city, they couldn't help but secretly praise in their hearts, you know, this is not one or two people, thirty or fifty people, but an army of tens of thousands of people, and they actually stopped just saying stop, which can be seen from this point, This army is indeed a battle-hardened elite, otherwise, it would not have been able to do this kind of action at all.

"My lord, shouldn't we do it, you know, although our purpose this time is to attract the Turpan army here, but if we show too much weakness, I'm afraid it will also arouse their suspicion, after all, there are Manchu spies by their side, they still know us better." Seeing the Turpan army that stopped, Dong Qi on the side walked to Shi Lei's side and said under the signal of Tong Chenfu.

After hearing Dong Qi's words, Shi Lei nodded and said, "Okay, let's do it, but we must pay attention, don't move those things that are too lethal, otherwise if we really scare them, we will lose more than we gain." ”

With Shi Lei's order, under the command of Dong Qi, above the city, the Ming army, which had long been unable to hold back, launched an attack on the Turpan army under the city.

At this time, it has to be said that this Turpan army is indeed strong, in the face of the strong attack of the Ming army at the head of the city, not only did not make them feel afraid, but aroused their fierce spirit, many Turpan soldiers, have taken off the bows and arrows on their bodies, and fought back at the head of the city, although most of the bows and arrows did not hit the target, but there were still some bows and arrows shot at the head of the city, causing some trouble to the Ming army at the head of the city, the reason why it is trouble, that is, these bows and arrows for the fully armed Ming soldiers, It didn't have much lethality, except for the unlucky ones who were directly hit to the point, the rest of the people didn't care about these bows and arrows at all.

Seeing that his subordinates had suffered huge losses under the Xining Acropolis, Amer Khan, who had just returned with a smug expression on his face, was already gloomy at this time, and shouted loudly to the guards around him, "Quick, quick, let them send the return cannon to this king and transport it over quickly, if the time is delayed, this king must have skinned them alive." ”

Hearing Amer Khan's order, the guards beside him hurriedly ran to deliver the order, and then, he saw hundreds of huge return cannons, pulled by horses, walking towards Xining Wei, looking at the hundreds of huge return cannons, Amer Khan's face slowly regained a calm expression.

It is also strange to say that people are full of awe in their hearts for things that make them afraid or bring disaster to themselves, as if they are returning to the back cannon, with the strength of the Mongols, the return cannon is used by the Mongols to conquer countless fortified cities and cities, and is understood by the whole of Asia and Europe, and more importantly, although the Mongols have completely declined, in the places that were once ruled by the Mongols, the return cannon has been regarded as an invincible battlefield weapon by many forces, therefore, many forces, In particular, the land of the Western Regions has built countless such things, as if the more return cannons they have, the stronger they become.

Amer Khan agrees to the same, in his mind, the most admired is Genghis Khan, fantasizing that one day he will be able to lead thousands of troops and horses, conquer one country after another, and become the most powerful monarch in the world, and as Genghis Khan's most powerful siege weapon back then, it has become the most powerful existence in the eyes of Amer Khan, and consent is also a weapon for siege, in Amer Khan's mind, there is no city in the world that cannot be broken with return artillery, which is why he brought so many return artillery.
