Chapter 104: Hard Defense
"You all talk about it, what should we do now, who knows, what is the Ming army on the other side, why is it so powerful, in the blink of an eye, nearly a thousand of our warriors all died tragically." Lying on the soft couch covered with thick sheepskin, Halbat, who had just woken up from a coma, asked weakly at this time.
No one answered Halbat's question for a long time, not because they didn't want to answer, but because they didn't know what it was, because, in the past, they had never seen anything so powerful, let alone understood its performance.
Seeing everyone's expressions, Halbat's face suddenly turned red, he felt a sweetness in his throat, and almost spit out a mouthful of blood, fortunately, in the end, he barely held back, and after reezing for a long time, he said, "Since you don't know, what kind of weapon is it, then let's discuss the next step, now that the Ming army on the opposite side has the help of that artifact, if we still have to attack reluctantly, the loss will definitely be very huge, and if we don't attack, then we"
After speaking, Halbat stopped, because he knew, everyone knew the meaning of what he was going to say next, if they stopped attacking now for fear of losing too much, then it meant that this plan to go south was a complete failure, and if they could not occupy the Hetao Plain, where would the Tumut troops go.
For a moment, many elders couldn't help but regret in their hearts, if they hadn't killed the Manchu people and went south, although they had lived a little harder, they would still be able to let Tumut survive as a tribe, and now in this way, although the steppe is very vast, they are all clear about what is waiting for the fate of the Tumut tribe in the face of the powerful Manchu Qing and their dog-legged Korqin.
Seeing the regretful expressions on the faces of many elders, Halbat couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, how could he not see the thoughts of these elders, he didn't expect that for the strength of the Tumut Department, he tried all means, but in the end he got such a result, he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, and at the same time sighed, 'The Mongols have retreated and declined, and the Mongols who were once able to endure hardships and stand hard work, and will not give up the struggle when encountering great difficulties, are now actually downcast to the point of being greedy for life and afraid of death'.
At this time, the physically and mentally exhausted Halbat smiled bitterly and said, "If you want to return to the Naturalization City, you will kill me, and then take my head and give it to the Manchus, so that maybe they can forgive you and let you return to the Naturalization City, but from now on, you will completely become the slaves of the Manchus, and the Tumut Department will also disappear completely. ”
"No, Abu, I won't let you die, I won't let anyone hurt you."
Hearing Halbat's words, Haas Erdun couldn't help but hug him and cry bitterly, while hugging the elders behind her.
And after listening to Halbat's words, the elder who really had this kind of mind saw this situation, and immediately did not move, after all, the matter has not yet reached the last step, and Halbat is not so easy to deal with.
"Actually, there's nothing mysterious about that kind of thing, if I'm guessing correctly, that kind of thing is actually a firearm of the Han people, it's just that this time they have changed another trick."
Just as the tent was in a state of sorrow, a hoarse voice spoke.
Hearing this, everyone looked at the short, shabby-looking man in the back cannon, the dark cloud.
"Ah, Mr. Wuyun, do you know that kind of thing, tell us what it is, and why it is so powerful." As soon as Wuyun's words came out, an elder couldn't wait to ask.
And the elders who originally had ghosts in the big tent also became excited when they heard the words of the dark clouds, you know, if they don't return to Huacheng until the last moment, they will not return to Huacheng and live that life of being enslaved again, now that someone has a way to break the Yanmen Pass and let them go smoothly to the Hetao Plain, why should they risk death and tear their faces with Halbat?
"What it is, I can't be sure before I see the real thing, but according to my research for so many years, they should use the explosives used in the firearms of the Han people, but this time they did not use him forcefully to make a gun, but changed it and remade a new weapon." Wuyun shook his head suspiciously.
"Then Master Dark Cloud, do you have a way to resist this weapon, as long as you have a way to resist this weapon, then our warriors can easily climb the opposite wall, in that case, we will be able to occupy Yanmen Pass, and then the entire Hetao Plain will appear in front of us." Halbat, who had rekindled hope, asked.
Hearing Halbat's question, he saw the dark cloud shake his head and said, "No, I can't, this weapon is too powerful, even if you understand his structure, there is no way to resist." ”
The words of the dark clouds made the people who had just ignited the flame of hope fall back to the bottom, and there was no way to fight the enemy's weapons, so it was useless to say more now.
Seeing everyone's dejected expressions, the dark cloud continued, "Although I have no way to fight against the enemy's weapon, according to my guess, the manufacture of this weapon will not be too easy, so this means that the other party does not have many such weapons in their hands, otherwise, they used it when we attacked for the first time, so why wait until today to use it?" ”
As soon as the words of the dark clouds came out, the eyes of everyone in the big tent suddenly lit up, "Yes, such a simple truth, how could they not think of it, you know, although the power of this weapon is huge, then it means that this kind of weapon will definitely be very precious, since it is a precious thing, then it will definitely not be too much, today they were also shocked by the power of this weapon, just thinking about how to resist this weapon, but they didn't think of this.
Thinking of this, the originally tense and strange atmosphere in the whole tent suddenly became active again, and Halbat felt much happier in his heart with the support of this good news
Today is a rare sunny day in winter, but now, when the sun sets, the whole sky is shining with fiery red, as if it is stained with blood.
And just like in the sky, the entire Yanmen Gate was also stained red with blood, and some of the ground was even blackened, which is the evidence of the popularity of fierce battles these days.
It has been thirteen days since the first attack of the Tumuts, and except for three days that were stopped because the Tumuts made return cannons, the remaining ten days have been in the midst of fighting all the time.
"Whew"
With the sound of a long trumpet, the Tumuts finally retreated slowly, and at the head of the city, the defenders who could no longer hold on, regardless of the blood and corpses everywhere on the ground, fell on their heads, and if it were not for their chests, which were still gasping from time to time, everyone would have thought that they were as dead as the dead bodies on the ground.
In the past ten days, Yanmen Pass has relied on the power of this grenade, with less than 10,000 troops, to block the attack of 50,000 elite soldiers of the Tumut tribe on the opposite side, but no matter how powerful the grenade is, it can't deal with the attack that is not fatal at all.
Although, in the past ten days, the Tumut people have dropped more than 10,000 corpses under the city of Yanmen Pass, but the original more than 8,000 soldiers in the city have also lost more than 2,000 and half, of which the 5,000 soldiers brought by Guang Shilei have killed 500 people in battle, and there are 7 or 800 serious injuries, which can be said to be a heavy loss, this is still second, the most important thing is that they bring not many grenades, you know, Yanmen Pass can be guarded to this day, relying on the huge power of the grenade, if the grenade is gone, what will happen to Yanmen Pass with them, It's all very clear to all.
Although the losses were huge, what made Shi Lei happy was that the soldiers, who were still a little immature, have now completely matured, and when they see the fierce rushing enemy, they will not be as helpless as at the beginning, but will look for the flaws of the other party with a firm gaze, and strive for a fatal blow.
"Brother Feng, we can't defend passively like this, you must know that if we defend it for a long time, we will lose, now our strength is very weak, and there are not many grenades, I am worried that if we continue to fight hard like this, we will lose in the end." Sitting on the ground, Shi Lei drank water and said to Feng Laohu, who was hanging his arm next to him.
Before Shi Lei came this time, he brought out most of the grenades made in Yulin City, but because the output was too small, that is, less than 5,000, after more than ten days of use, now there are less than 200, such a number, as long as the enemy is launching a large-scale attack, Yanmen Pass will definitely be completely lost.
Feng Laohu, who was lying on the ground and didn't even have an eye to fight, heard Shi Lei's words, and said lightly, "I don't want to do this, but don't stand up, what should we do, we can't just watch these Tartars attack in, forget it, that's it, anyway, we have eliminated a lot of Tartars today, even if we die now, we are worthy of our ancestors." ”
Seeing Feng Laohu's appearance, Shi Lei had no way to calm down in his heart, if this was an era of peace, it would be okay to die in battle like this, but when is it now, the world is in chaos, seeing that the Manchu Qing Dynasty is about to enter the Central Plains, if he dies in battle like this, then how can he be worthy of the God who let him live again, with Shi Lei, the original owner of this body, thinking of this, Shi Lei firmly thought, no, I definitely can't die like this, I have more important things to do, I want to defeat the Manchu Qing, Let the inheritance of the Han people be passed on forever.
