430 The Priest who does not know life or death

"Hurry up, close the city gates, don't let the Tartar army break in, otherwise, Xi'an City will be completely unsafe." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 When Yuan Zongdi was the last to enter the Xi'an City Gate, he shouted loudly at the soldiers who had been waiting next to him.

Although Yuan Zongdi, they have run very fast, and they still started with them, but the distance between them and the Tartar chasing soldiers is not too far, it is less than fifty zhang, more than a hundred meters away, the reason for this is because although the Tartar army did not react at the beginning, in addition to the sudden attack of Duoduo, their hearts were full of panic and anger at this time, according to the rules of the Manchu army, if the commander died, but the soldiers were alive, then they would go back, I am afraid they would be reduced to slaves, The enslaved people of leather armor, what kind of life a slave is, they know very well.

In addition, there is another point that many Tartars are on horses, all, when pursuing, their speed is not slower than Yuan Zongdi, in this case, although the Ming army in the city gate cave has exhausted its strength, but the huge gate is still closed too slowly, and the sound of 'crunching' stopped in the ears of Yuan Zongdi and others, it was like the scythe of death waving over.

Seeing that the pursuers of the Tartar army were about to rush into the city of Xi'an, and when the city gate was not closed, a shout was heard from above the city, "Release the jack gate".

Under an order, the Ming army, which had already been prepared at the head of the city, cut off a huge rope, which were all ropes used to bear the jack gate, and then, everyone saw that on the gate of Xi'an, a black shadow flashed, and with a thunderous momentum, it rumbled down, and the city gate that was originally still open suddenly became extremely dark, because the jack gate completely sealed the entire city gate, not only that, but even the few Tartar cavalry who rushed to the front just now were also pressed under the jack gate. At this point, I'm afraid they've already turned into a puddle of flesh.

Seeing this scene, all the Ming troops in the city breathed a sigh of relief, and the Tartar soldiers outside the city who were originally happily thinking that they would soon be able to attack Xi'an City became completely stupid, but soon, they immediately came back to their senses, not that they accepted the reality, but that the Ming army at the head of the city, taking advantage of such a great opportunity, launched a thunderous attack on them, countless artillery, bows, siege crossbows and other defensive weapons, have been used against them to come out, The anger that made the Ming army suffocated during this period of time finally have a person to vent.

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

"What's the matter, why did the Tartar army suddenly have such a huge movement tonight, have you inquired about it?" Just under the city of Xi'an, when the battle between the Ming army and the Tartar army was fierce, on a high slope not far from the city of Xi'an, a group of Ming soldiers wearing Ming army armor were anxiously asking their subordinates.

This army is the Shanxi army led by Liang Zhendong, they have been indulging the actions of Duoduo and the Tartar army in accordance with the plan formulated by Jia Hanqing and others, in order to hope to be able to completely annihilate the Duoduo and Tartar army under the city of Xi'an, but they never thought that the Tartar army would actually come up with this way to fill in the earth and build a road to attack Xi'an City, if it was usual, Liang Zhendong would have already led the army to attack the Tartars, but unfortunately, But he never knew what Jia Hanqing and the others who were trapped in Xi'an City thought, and he was afraid that because of his carelessness, he would ruin their plan, so that the Tartar army that had finally fallen into his hands would escape again.

All, during this time, Liang Zhendong sent several groups of spies in order to be able to get in touch with Xi'an City, hoping to enter Xi'an City, but unfortunately, their fate was the same as that of the spies who came out of Xi'an City, they were either caught and killed by the Tartars, or they escaped back by luck, but there was no way to get close to Xi'an City.

In this case, Liang Zhendong became extremely anxious, on the one hand, he was afraid of delaying the major event of dooming the Tartars, on the other hand, he was afraid that something would happen in Xi'an City, although he knew that in Xi'an City, in addition to the more than 30,000 elite Ming troops, even if he recruited Minzhuang to defend the city, he could recruit tens of thousands of people, but he did not want the slightest crisis in Xi'an City, for the importance of Xi'an City, he knew it very well, and more importantly, although it seems that the biggest official position is the general Yuan Zongdi, But in fact, in the entire Shaanxi Ming Court, his strength is the most powerful, so if there is any problem in Xi'an City, he has no way to explain to Shi Lei.

"General Liang, the spies are back, but the news is not too good, it is night, they can't see what is happening in front of them at all, although they have captured a few Tartar prisoners, but these prisoners are just some soldiers, they only know that there are people in Xi'an City who want to go out of the city tonight to attack their camp, but they have destroyed it, and now, I heard that all the Tartar armies have gone to attack Xi'an City."

Just when Liang Zhendong was anxious, a battalion commander next to him hurriedly walked over and said to him.

Liang Zhendong, who was already very anxious in his heart, after hearing the news conveyed by the battalion commander, the anxiety on his face became even deeper, and he couldn't help but say, "Is the news accurate, is it true that the Ming army in the city came out to attack and was defeated by them?" “

Hearing Liang Zhendong's question, the battalion commander nodded and said, "Yes general, it seems that there may really be a problem in Xi'an City this time, how should we act, you can give the order!" ”

As soon as the battalion commander's words were finished, Liang Zhendong did not make a decision immediately, although he also knew that now was the critical moment, but he knew that this kind of thing would not be in a hurry at all, if they rashly sent troops to attack the Tartar army without figuring it out, then if he fell for the Tartars' strategy, it would be completely over.

Just when Liang Zhendong was deep in thought, and the generals on one side were waiting for his order, they suddenly heard a rush of footsteps, and then they saw a few scouts coming here quickly.

"What's the matter, what's going on, why are you here in such a hurry?" The battalion commander who had just reported to Liang Zhendong yelled at the scouts.

"Back to my lord, just now when we were patrolling outside, we suddenly found a few Tartars riding fast horses towards us, and at the same time there were some pursuers behind them, originally, we didn't know what happened, but they shouted out our incision, all, we saved them, and now they are not far away, they said, they came out of Xi'an City, to meet General Liang, we hurried to the Lord to report." One of the scouts said quickly.

"What, come out of Xi'an City, hurry, hurry, hurry, bring them over, General Ben will meet them in person and ask them what happened in Xi'an City." Liang Zhendong, who was originally in deep thought, heard the scout say that those Tartars actually came from Xi'an City, and he immediately said in surprise.

Under Liang Zhendong's order, they soon saw several people wearing tartar clothes, their bodies disheveled, and a few people with injuries ranging from severity to severity appeared in front of them.

When these people appeared, they saw the Tartar who was the leader, and shouted to Liang Zhendong violently, "Liang Dudu, the last general has finally seen you, it's really not easy!" ”

Hearing this person's shout, Liang Zhendong was stunned at first, because the sky was too dark, and he didn't see the faces of the people who shouted clearly, but he was still a little familiar with the voice, so he walked a few steps closer to the side of those Tartars, because the origin of these people was unknown, all, Liang Zhendong's guards did not let them get close to Liang Zhendong, but separated them from a distance.

Liang Zhendong approached, and immediately saw the identity of this Tartar, "General Chitu, why are you, why did you come here in person, quickly, quickly, quickly, quickly untie General Chitu and your brothers, General Chitu, tell me quickly, what is happening in Xi'an City now, why did you personally go out of the city to find me, and what is the matter with this injury on your body." ”

When he saw Liang Zhendong appear in front of him, Chitu's expression couldn't help but relax, and then he became relaxed After all, now the heavy responsibility of this Gexi City is on his shoulders, and in order to let him out of the city, Yuan Zongdi and three thousand soldiers were almost wiped out, if he didn't find Liang Zhendong, even if he died, he would be unwilling.

Originally, Chitu and others' plan went very smoothly, under the attack of Yuan Zongdi and three thousand soldiers, they easily blended into the Tartar army, and then, they secretly killed some Tartar soldiers and snatched a few fast horses.

Originally, Chitu and others thought that the soldiers in the Tartar army came from a mixed source, including Qing soldiers and Mongolian soldiers, all, if they wanted to faint, it would be easy to do it, but he never thought that Duoduo, as a general with great achievements in the Manchu Dynasty, could be said to be very proficient in battlefield matters, in the early days, in order not to be attacked by the enemy, Duoduo replaced all the soldiers who patrolled and guarded important places with the Eight Banners of the Manchu Dynasty, and Duoduo also worked out the incision at night, that is, the code, When these patrolling or guarding soldiers see a suspicious person, they will make incisions and use them to protect the safety of the battalion.

And Chitu and they originally went outside when they took advantage of the Tartar soldiers in the Manchu camp to encircle and suppress Yuan Zongdi and others, but unfortunately, they were discovered by those Manchu Eight Banners who stayed behind. Fortunately, Chitu had already prepared, while attacking in all directions with the grenades he carried, while riding a fast horse, he quickly broke through the Tartar camp, but unfortunately, those Manchu Eight Banners army who stayed behind were not vegetarians, and as soon as they found out that something was wrong with them, they launched an attack on them, and the ten people who originally followed Chitu were now only three in addition to Chitu, and Chitu himself was also shot with an arrow in the back, fortunately, this arrow was not deep, and it was not a fatal injury, therefore, Chitu has been able to hold on until now.

"In this way, in the current city of Xi'an, we can still hold on, so we don't have to worry too much about it then." After hearing Chitu tell the news in Xi'an in detail, Liang Zhendong, who was originally nervous, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Yes, this is the case, although the hand of the Tartars, let us be a little caught off guard, but Xi'an City is after all the capital of our Ming Dynasty, so many years of construction is not easy to deal with, besides, there are more than 30,000 elite soldiers in the city, if it were not for the safety of Xi'an City, we would have already gone out of the city to fight to the death with the Tartars, and it is still an unknown thing who will die at that time, but this time, in order to send a few of us out, the lives of more than 3,000 soldiers were wasted, think about it, it's really a nest." Chitu couldn't help but say with remorse.

"Okay, General Chitu, since things have already been like this, it's useless to regret it, but their hatred, we will be able to repay them soon, since Lord Jia said that five days later, we will act together on the third watch in the evening, and attack the Tartar army at the same time, then, when the time comes, the Tartar army will definitely be completely wiped out by us, and the three thousand soldiers will also be able to turn a blind eye." Liang Zhendong said to Chitu persuasion.

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

When the Tartar army took advantage of the excitement and left, but was defeated by the Ming army at the head of Xi'an and returned, as the commander of this army, Duoduo was in a situation where he did not know that he was dying.

It turned out that the thing that Yuan Zongdi threw at Duoduo just now was the new type of grenade that had just been researched in the craftsman camp according to Shi Lei's instructions, and the reason why it was said to be a new type was because it was different from the previous kind of grenades like large artillery battles, but it became a little familiar with the grenades of later generations, not only in terms of volume, but also in terms of the means of excitation, it was also the same as abandoning the open flame and turning it into flint to use.

Of course, the reason why this is the case is because the craftsmen in the craftsman's camp finally invented the brown gunpowder on the basis of black powder, if it is the original black powder, let alone flint, even if it is an open flame, it may not be able to guarantee ignition, and this brown gunpowder is different, it is more powerful than black gunpowder, and it burns much easier, as long as there is a spark, he can be ignited.

Of course, because this kind of thing has just been researched, and the output is not much, all, if Yuan Zongdi hadn't taken out all their inventory in order to complete the task, ordinary people wouldn't have used it at all?
