Chapter 952: The Defeat of the Heroes
When attacking Dabansheng, Qi Jiguang already had full confidence that the cities of the grassland had not yet been able to withstand the artillery fire of the Ming army. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info He concentrated more than 100 cannons at the east city gate, and one by one the cannonballs smashed on the city wall, and there were projectiles that flew directly into the city and flew at high speed, as long as they touched, they would break their limbs, hit directly, and the whole person became a puddle of meat sauce.
The advantages of the Mongol cavalry were in the field, and they were really not good at defending the city, and in the face of crazy shells, they could only retreat and watch stupidly.
Rumble!
A cannonball hit the city gate, and suddenly the planks several inches thick were blown open, and chrysanthemum nails flew all over the sky. Qi Jiajun's musketeers quickly moved forward, aimed at the gap, and kept shooting, the lead bullets crackled, and the hit was dusty, not giving the opponent a chance to make up for it at all.
At this time, the soldiers in charge of blasting sent hundreds of catties of gunpowder to the city in batches, and they took out special sapper shovels from their backs. The weather was cold, and the city walls were all masonry, very hard, ordinary shovels collapsed in two strokes, these sapper shovels could not, the soldiers worked hard to dig, and in less than half an hour, they dug a hole half a meter deep under the city wall and filled it with gunpowder. Pull out the long fuse, light it, and run away...... The action is smooth and has obviously gone through countless trainings.
After waiting for a while, Qi Jiguang quietly opened his mouth wide and covered his ears.
There was a muffled sound of the earth shaking, followed by dust flying, several feet high.
When the wind blew, a section of the city wall more than ten feet long collapsed.
The soldiers were very excited, the hard shell of the crab had been opened, and the fat and creamy, tender and good meat were in front of them.
"Rush!"
The Qi family army swarmed up and fought all the way into the city from the gap.
Qi Jiguang's serious face also showed a hint of a smile, and the victory was in his hands. just waited for a while, the expected collapse did not appear, but many Qi family troops who rushed in were driven out.
"What's going on?"
"Qiqi Town, I have set up an ambush in the city, and the brothers have fought very hard!"
"Pass my orders! Whoever dares to take a step back will be killed! Qi Jiguang turned around and said to his reserves: "Rush forward, no matter what, you must take Tuoketo!" ”
"Yes!"
Qi Jiguang governs the army in one word: strict!
There are all kinds of crimes, and there are crimes of killing heads everywhere, and if you violate a little military rule, you will be severely punished.
At the beginning, Tang Yi thought he was a little paranoid, but Qi Jiguang was as good as he was in other things, but in terms of military regulations, he refused to give in at all.
Now, the results of the training are finally showing.
In the face of the sudden cavalry, the Qi family army did not have time to reload the firecrackers, they actually held the firecrackers tightly and fought with the cavalry with the muzzle, some were cut down, some were trampled by the horses' hooves, but none of them escaped.
Their sacrifice bought precious time, the soldiers behind were able to reload, the sharp gunfire rang out again, and the enemy fell in pieces.
Qi Jiajun is like a tenacious reef, standing on the rough beach, without a trace of wavering.
Buyantaiji personally commanded the offensive, and gradually, he actually had a strong fear, the other party was not flesh and blood at all, they had no reason, no fear, and were invincible......
Boom Boom!
The rapid explosion sounded again, and the city wall collapsed in four or five places in a row, and more Qi family troops poured in from all directions. This time they were well prepared, the grenadiers rushed to the front, and where there was an enemy, where there were houses, the grenades were still going.
The explosions continued, and the cavalry in ambush were all blown up, and rushed out in a hurry, only to be easily killed by the firecrackers.
Defending the city is not my forte, and he is not even better at street fighting.
Seeing that the defeat could not be reversed, I had no choice but to stomp my feet, beckon my men, and exit Tokto through the north gate. There were nearly 40,000 people who followed him, of which 30,000 were his old subordinates, and the remaining 10,000 were from the Ordos department.
It can be said that these 40,000 horses are still the largest force on the grassland, and if they can be brought out smoothly, I will have a chance to turn over.
But Changshengtian was not on his side, from Tang Yi, to Tan Lun, Hu Zongxian, and even every ordinary soldier did not allow me to escape.
As soon as he came out of Tuoketuo, Yang An's cavalry chased after him, and Tan Lun's main force also appeared.
Different from Ma Fang's cavalry, Yang An's subordinates had a fire gun, and the long and short guys sounded together, and the lead shot hit the enemy's body like no money.
The one-sided slaughter infuriated me completely, and he commanded the cavalry to charge forward, with the archers following behind, waiting for an opportunity to attack. Yang An had already prepared, and his men and horses used the method of continuous shooting, after the first row fired, they immediately turned to the back to reload, and the second row followed up with the shooting.
The bullets continued endlessly, although occasionally soldiers were shot by bows and arrows, fell off their horses in agony, and died of convulsions.
But Yang An has full confidence, and when it comes to fighting, I can't fight my own.
Sure enough, after the two sides paid thousands of deaths, the back road of my answer was in chaos, and Wang Chonggu and Qi Jiguang had already entered the city and chased after them with their butts.
I had no choice but to escape.
Yang An was like a poisonous snake, following closely, Tan Lun Yu Dayou commanded the soldiers to intercept and kill from both sides, after crazy killing and slashing, I answered the people and horses directly reduced by half, even those who still followed him, most of them were injured, sighing, embarrassed.
In the cold winter season, the snow is flying, and some people are running in a hurry, still wearing single clothes, shivering in the wind and snow. The most pitiful were the wounded, who walked forward in a daze, and from time to time fell off their horses. The people in the back didn't even bother to look at it, and stepped directly over from the body.
Although the battle of Tokto was short, the shock was self-evident.
The Ming army's powerful attack strength, ferocious artillery fire, and sharp fire guns have all become a lingering nightmare for the rest of their lives.
The Central Plains Dynasty is very much like water, quiet and introverted, never easy to get angry, and the nomads of the steppe are like flames, burning from time to time. It seems frequent, powerful, but no matter how powerful the wildfires are, they can't compare to the raging torrents.
Once the Central Plains Dynasty is provoked, hundreds of thousands of cavalry will continue to fight frantically until the opponent is completely wiped out, as the Han and Tang dynasties have done.
Now that the Ming Dynasty has launched a large-scale counterattack again, there is really a hint of the atmosphere of the Han and Tang Dynasties.
However, as a commander-in-chief, Tan Lun knows that the current Da Ming is actually strong on the outside and capable in the middle, and although he won this time, he actually took out all the strength to eat milk.
I must not let go of my answer, once he is allowed to run away and resurge, he will not be able to explain to Tang Xiang.
"Yu Zhigao, you take 2,000 men and horses, tell Yang Zongzhen that he will also send 2,000 soldiers, five war horses each, don't stop the horses, no matter what, you have to catch up with me!"
"Yes!"
Yu Zhigao led the cavalry to converge with Yang An, and chased after my tail.
The wind and snow became heavier and stronger, hitting the body, and many soldiers' faces were cracked, and traces of blood oozed from the wounds, condensing into strips, like spider webs, crawling all over the faces.
They no longer felt pain, they clung to a handful of snow when they were thirsty, chewed on meat floss when they were hungry, and slept on their horses when they were sleepy, but they couldn't hold it anymore and fell off their horses.
Rest assured, someone will follow up and receive it, and if you are not particularly unlucky, you will not freeze to death, and you will lose a few fingers and toes at most......
Yu Zhigao chased them for fifty or sixty miles in one go, cut off three of the sabers in their hands, and they killed more than 5,000 prisoners.
The fierce Mongolian cavalry in the past had no fighting spirit at all, and at first they would keep their hands broken and fight bravely with the Ming army, but after chasing thirty miles, they did not have the courage to fight.
The Ming army rushed up, threw away the weapon, obediently knelt on the ground, and chose to surrender. The battle is death, and when you run away, in the snowy wilderness, it will only become a delicious meal in the mouth of the wild wolf, and the death will be more painful.
It's better to surrender, at least there is a glimmer of life.
It was Rahan who was in charge of receiving the captives, and he was even more excited than the Ming army, and whenever he met a red man under the command of Ida, he danced with his hands, and even grabbed them in his hands, slapped them with a slap, and whipped them with a whip, so that their flesh and blood were blurred, and their teeth fell to the ground, before he was satisfied.
"Let you be arrogant, wait, whoever is taller than the wheels will die! From now on, the overlord of the steppe is our Tushetu Khan, and Altan Khan has become a lost dog, and he is completely finished! ”
Rahan's laughter, like that of a night owl, was heard far away in the wilderness, giving goosebumps all over his body.
……
The current Altan Khan is indeed in a bad situation, of the original 20,000 horses, more than 5,000 were killed by the Ming army, and more than 5,000 ran away, and there were less than 10,000 people around him.
Since his debut, it has definitely been the worst, and from thirty-three days, he fell directly to the eighteenth layer of hell. He no longer dared to hope for a comeback and revenge. I have repeatedly lowered my requirements, as long as I can live.
It's just that the Ming army will agree?
There are less than five miles, that is, Montenegro, I answered a little more relaxed, bypassing Montenegro, he is ready to flee to Mobei, Monan is already the world of the Ming Dynasty, the Oirats in Moxi hate him to the bone, only Mobei is the only life.
"Let's go!"
I answered to lead the team in front, and the men and horses were getting closer and closer to Montenegro, when suddenly a signal flare pierced the sky, and then countless cavalry poured out, and Ma Fang and Ma Dong, father and son, rushed up with large soldiers.
"I answer, your time of death has come!"
With a smug smile on the corner of Ma Fang's mouth, he rushed into the crowd, waving the big knife in his hand, like chopping melons and vegetables. Ma Dong also did not show weakness, and went into battle with father and son, they waited for more than a day, not daring to move, not daring to light a fire to keep warm, for fear of making a movement, startling the grass and snakes, and some people's toes were frozen, and they didn't realize it.
When I saw that I had escaped, it was worth all the effort.
Kill!
The two sides at the foot of the Black Mountain, launched a brutal white-knuckle battle, not only people are desperate, even the war horses are crazy to bite each other, Ma Fang every step forward, the enemy was hacked to death, blood stained his clothes, a backhand knife, cut off the head of a guard, I answered just three zhang away, decades of grievances, finally to end!
"I answer, let me die!"
Ma Fang took the lead, stepped on the other party's corpse, and rushed towards Meda! (To be continued.) )
