Chapter Ninety-Three: Yuanfang Invades the Ancient Road, and Qingcui Connects the Deserted City (6)

Looking at the tower in the northeast, when Boyan Hanji heard that King Chonggu of Datong came to the rescue, he smiled coldly, and stabbed the saber in his hand into the chest of the Tartar soldier who came to report it, and suddenly hot blood splashed everywhere, dyeing the sleeves of Boyan Hanji's shirt red under the soldier's disbelievable look.

Hattori Heiji on the side looked at Boyan Hanji's eyes as cold as a falcon, and couldn't help but shiver. I only heard Boyan Hanji shouting to the soldiers behind him: "Tengger warriors, there are no reinforcements in Yizhou City, let us break through the city defense of the Ming soldiers today, the great Tengger will bless our descendants!" ”

"Long live Tengger!"

"Long live Tengger!"

Boyan Hanji is very satisfied with the cheers of the soldiers behind him, he enjoys this feeling of holding heavy troops very much, even if Datong Wang Chonggu comes to the rescue, what can he do, more than ten years, because of Qiu Luan, he has looked down on the Ming generals, the so-called soldiers are bears, will be a nest, on the general quality of the Ming generals, he will win this time!

It's a pity that Boyan Hanji forgot another sentence, the general is the courage of the soldier, and the soldier is the blade of the general.

Wang Chonggu and Xia Mu are not enemies, so they are doomed to the end of Boyan Hanji.

At this time, Xia Mu heard that the wolf cavalry of Alta was attacking the city, but he didn't expect that Wang Chonggu's reinforcements were behind, and they dared to advance lightly and risk attacking the city? Is it a fight against the water?

He was stunned for a moment, rushed to a battlement and looked down, only to see the army of Tartars approaching like a tide, and tall ladders slowly rising......

At the foot of the ladders, the Tartar soldiers lifted bucket-thick tubular devices in twos and twos, and placed them on huge iron piers......

"What is this?" Xia Mu saw it and felt that it seemed a little familiar, and he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while. The Ming generals standing beside him also shook their heads in confusion.

At this time, the Tartars began to stuff large iron balls into the mouth of the iron cylinder......

In fact, when Wu Zhongyong came to the Tartar camp to negotiate with me about the armistice and withdrawal of troops that day, Hattori Heiji brought a big iron ball like this, which was intended as a gift to Hattori Heiji, which was the eight general cannons purchased by Hattori Heiji from Yan Shiban.

It was too late, but it was too soon, and the gunpowder fuse at the mouth of the iron cylinder was ignited, and puffs of white smoke rose from the mouth...... Then, the soldiers at the head of Yiju City heard and saw one by one "thunderbolts on a sunny day" falling from the sky and falling on their heads!

In the earth-shaking loud noise, a ball of fire exploded on the head of the city, and countless stones, lead bullets, and iron particles burst out, smashing the heads of the Ming soldiers and crying for their fathers and mothers!

"Yes...... It's artillery! Xia Mu only then remembered that he had seen such a thing on Daming's battleship, and couldn't help but exclaim. Before he could stop his exclamation, there was a "boom", a cannonball exploded two feet away from him, and a sharp stone shot out, and with a "poof" sound, it hit his left shoulder, and immediately penetrated the skin, splashing a splash of blood!

"Ge Laozi, how can the Mongolian Tartars have my Ming artillery!" Xia Mu screamed in pain, and hurriedly lay on the ground, holding his head in his hands, protecting the vital point - fortunately, the stone only pierced his shoulder muscles, but did not hurt his bone joints, otherwise his left arm would be crippled!

The Tartars actually have the advanced weapon of the Ming Dynasty - cannons?! Li Chengliang was stunned.

They didn't know that Toyotomi Hideyoshi, in order to ensure the success of this succession, had allocated millions of taels of silver since last year to buy 100 cannons and 30,000 shells from Portugal, Spain, including Yan Shiban, and gave 20 to Boyan Kana, eight of which were given to Boyan Hanji by Hattori Heiji to be thrown into this war.

However, Xia Mu was only shocked and surprised, but he quickly calmed down, and immediately waved his war knife, summoned those Ming soldiers who had been beaten, and shouted: "Don't panic! Don't mess around! Although the cannon is fierce, it is not a burst of explosions in one breath, we must not forget to guard our respective posts - everyone first hide! ”

The Ming soldiers immediately retreated into various sentry posts on the city tower, and carefully protected themselves like turtles hiding in turtle shells.

Under several rounds of fierce bombardment by tiger squatting artillery, thick smoke billowed from the head of the city of Yiju, flames erupted, and corpses were everywhere.

Two quarters of an hour passed, and the continuous bombardment of the Tiger Squat Cannon of the Tartars finally stopped. The tumultuous battlefield fell into a deathly silence.

With another cannon shot, this silence was broken again, Boyan Hanji rode a war horse, slowly walked to the front of the formation, looked at the empty Yizhou city from a distance, and then "brushed" out the saber on his waist, pointed to the city head, and shouted: "Go to the city!" ”

With his order, the three Tartars, under the leadership of the Mongol generals, launched a fierce attack on the west, east, and south gates respectively. The Tartar soldiers pushed the ladder, which had been erected high, under the city walls, and quickly leaned up.

At this moment, the conch on the head of the city roared, and the sound of "woo" was loud, and under Xia Mu's shout, the brocade guards all came out of the sentry box at the head of the city, the battlements, etc., and the "Ping Pong" fired muskets indiscriminately at the city, and the ladder of the Tartar army was overturned with an iron fork, and it was a group of four or five people who lifted the iron pot and poured boiling water desperately under the city, and they lifted boulders and rolling logs and smashed them violently at the Tartar soldiers who were climbing the city......

Xia Mu's all-encompassing style of play suppressed the momentum and sharpness of Boyan Hanji for a whileβ€”the three-way Tartar soldiers' siege of the city fell into a stalemate.

Seeing the setbacks and retreat of the Tartars in the city, Xia Mu breathed a big sigh of relief on the command platform, stretched out his right palm to wipe his face full of blood and sweat, and excitedly waved the embroidered spring knife, cheering for the soldiers: "Brothers! Don't be afraid! Even if the Tartars had cannons, they would still have to climb the wall to attack the city...... As long as we defend the city, there is nothing they can do! As soon as Wang Chonggu's reinforcements arrive, they will be overwhelmed by the enemyβ€”and that will be the time for us to rush out of the city to take revenge......"

He was talking excitedly, but he saw Zu Chengxun, who had gone to inspect the wolf smoke mouth to inspect and supervise the battle, running wildly with his hair scattered and his face covered with blood. He jumped onto the command platform, calmed down, took a breath, hurriedly approached Xia Mu's side, and said in a low voice with a trembling voice: "Tell the Governor: Duoyan suddenly sent troops to attack the wolf smoke mouth!" The subordinates are the ones who have opened a bloody path to report to the adults......"

Xia Mu only felt a "buzzing" sound in his ears, and he couldn't hear Zu Chengxun's words clearly, but he just turned his head to stare at Zu Chengxun a little sluggishly, and asked in a trembling voice: "You...... What did you say? The wolf's mouth is lost? ”

Zu Chengxun lowered his eyes and didn't dare to look at him, so he nodded.

Xia Mu looked coldly at the Tartars who were attacking the city under the city, and thought in his heart, if the wolf smoke mouth is broken, there will be no danger to defend the north side of Yizhou City, and at that time, Yizhou City may be attacked by the enemy, the key is that the wolf smoke mouth is lost, and Wang Chonggu's rescue is intercepted outside the wolf smoke mouth, so Yizhou City? Thinking that Xia Mu had made up his mind in his heart, he turned to Yu Dawei and nodded: "It's time!" ”

Yu Dawei also nodded, and hurriedly turned around and left.

Xia Mu was originally going to use the killer weapon to recover the Hetao in the end, but due to the sudden attack of the Japanese slaves and the surprise attack of the other people, he had to use the killer weapon in advance.

This is Zhu Xizhong's specially asked Wei Guogong Xu Pengju to transfer thirty general cannons from the headquarters of the Nanjing Shenji Battalion!

At this moment, the Japanese soldiers and Tartar soldiers besieging the city under the gate all exclaimed in unison: "Great ...... Cannon! What a cannon! ”

When Boyan Hanji heard this, he saw the power of artillery, and his heart suddenly pounded wildly, and he hurriedly jumped off the command platform, and threw himself under the city to look up-heh! In front of the Ming army, more than ten giant artillery pieces were launched side by side that were thicker and larger than the tiger squat cannon just now: their cannon bodies were more than five feet long, weighing nearly 1,000 catties, with a shining star in front and a shining door in the back, and the muzzle of the black hole was as thick as a water tank!

"How can there be such a cannon?" Boyan Hanji was stunned again.

"This ...... This ......" Hattori Heiji has lived in the Ming Dynasty for a long time, and he has also heard of this artillery, "I am afraid that this is the most powerful 'general cannon' of the Ming army!" I heard that its cannon chamber can hold more than ten catties of ammunition at a time! ”

He didn't say anything, but he saw that more than ten "general cannons" were aimed at the city, and after a loud "boom", more than ten thick cannon muzzles spewed out huge fireballs, like a thousand pounds of hammers, smashing into the Tartar army in the air!

There was a loud bang, and the Tartar soldiers under the city only felt that the floor under their feet was swaying, and the whole person seemed to be suspended in the air!

Then, their ears were suddenly filled with the cheers and cheers of the Ming soldiers in the city, and they saw that the wolf cavalry of Boyan Hanji was blasted away by the "great general's cannon" of the Ming army! Blown up!

While the main gate of Yiju City was bombarded indiscriminately, the south gate of Yizhou City was a rare silence.

Because the terrain outside the southern city of Yizhou is flat and wide, which is not conducive to the enemy's concealment and surprise attack, and its city walls are unusually strong, the Tartar army did not invest the main force here to attack the city, but let the deputy general of Boyan Hanji, Ergu, lead 800 Japanese warriors and 5,000 Tartar sword soldiers to feint, causing him to attack the city on three sides, so as to attract the troops of the main gate of Yizhou City! It was also used as a line of defense to prevent Wang Chonggu from slanting into his back.

Boyan Hanji believes that he can break through the city of Yiju before Wang Chonggu's rescue arrives!

Ergu was young and vigorous, and when he heard the sound of cannons and killings in the main city of Yizhou, his heart suddenly itched a little unbearable, and he just wanted to pull out his saber and run to Boyan Hanji's side to fight against the Ming army, so that he could make a miraculous achievement and get the reward of Lao Yuda and General Boyan Jina.

However, the task given to him by Boyan Hanji was to be optimistic about Nancheng and prevent Wang Chonggu from breaking through the defense line of the Duoyan Division, entering Yiju from Nancheng, and fighting Xia Mu. Unfortunately, Ergu did not do this, but ran to the main gate.

At this time, 20,000 Datong soldiers in yellow robes and black hats rushed to the open field under the wolf's smoke, a few of them rode war horses, and most of them walked on foot.

"Alas! How come such a bunch of rubbish! Duo Yan Li at first heard a shout of killing under the gate of Yizhou City, he immediately became excited like a wolf that smelled the smell of food, he received the order of General Boyan Jina, led 40,000 Duoyan warriors, came to intercept the Ming soldiers rescued by Datong, at this moment to seize the wolf smoke mouth, lie down to the battlement mouth to look out, and found that the enemy was only a slow, clumsy Ming soldier, not the rumored Ming force, he couldn't help but sigh deeply, "Tengger! Why are you so biased - why don't you send a few Ming soldiers over and let them kill them in order to make a success? ”

When Duo Yan was complaining, his deputy general Duo Yanqi came up with a smirk and asked, "General, do you think we want to attack these Ming soldiers?" We're here to help! ”

Duo Yanli glanced at the awkwardly tired Datong soldiers under the city without care, and said coldly: "Pass the order - we won't attack for the time being!" ”

"For ...... Why? Duo Yanqi's eyes widened in surprise.

"These soldiers...... If we shoot now, they will be like the soles of their shoes smeared with oil, and they will slip away faster than anyone else......" Duo Yanli still said coldly, "It's better to wait for them to get closer to Yiju City, and then we will take the opportunity to attack bravely, try to kill them without leaving a single piece of armor, and cut off more heads to ask General Boyan for credit......"

"General Duoyan's trick of 'inviting you into the urn' is really wonderful!" Duo Yanqi hurriedly slapped Duo Yanqi's ass, "We just want to set a trap to lure them in, so that they will not come back one by one!" ”

"That's right! Right! It is to 'please enter the urn'! Duo Yanli had a whim, and slapped his knees in excitement, "Ben will do something better - when these Ming soldiers under the city rush to the city wall of Yizhou, we will fire all guns and arrows, so that they have nowhere to escape, only to die obediently!" In this way, we can join forces with General Boyan Hanji and wipe out all the understandings in the city of Yiju! ”

"Clever! Brilliant! General Duoyan's strategy is really clever! Duo Yanqi gave Duo Yanli a thumbs up, and at the same time ran to the various sentry posts in the city to give orders.

So, under the order of Duo Yanli to capture the old man, 20,000 tired soldiers of Datong rushed to the root of the city wall in the south of Yiju City.

Wang Chonggu sat on the horse angrily and scolded: "These dog mongrels actually look down on Lao Tzu's Datong wolf master!" ”

Just when Wang Chonggu was about to send a signal to the city to counterattack Boyan Hanji, Tanma suddenly came to report: "Admiral, there is no Tartar army in the north of the southern city, and there are no invincible soldiers outside the southern city!" ”

"What?" Wang Chonggu was stunned for a moment, then laughed, scolded Duoyan for being a stupid pig, and let them join forces with Yizhou City in vain, and inserted it diagonally behind Boyan Hanji, so that Yizhou City could turn things around and turn defense into attack! Thinking that Wang Chonggu hurriedly gave an order, the whole army rushed into the city.

And Boyan Hanji of the main gate didn't know that he had become the turtle in Xia Mu's urn, and Wang Chonggu north of the southern city just plugged in behind him, forming a situation of closing the door and beating the dog with Xia Mu, and all this was caused by Ergu and Duoyanli! Both wanted to make meritorious contributions, but they didn't go according to plan and were self-defeating.
