In the face of Timur's aggressiveness, Wu Peifu felt that the army formed by relying on the weapons provided by Britain and the United States was enough to deal with the backward Mongolian army, and he might even take advantage of the fact that the Mongolian army had just risen and its strength was not strong to fight a counterattack, and show the British and Americans foreigners in Jixian County the might of the direct army and the ability of the direct family to control the whole of China.

"Mongolia has that little population, and now looking at their size, it should be that all the Chechen ministries that have been in the limelight recently have been recruited. Taking advantage of the fact that all the Mongol armies rushed to Chengde in the east, the Mongols were the weakest at this time, so we did not need to garrison the north of Shaanxi and other places. Moreover, Henan in the south has also been leveled by us, and we do not need to take special care of it, and some troops can also be transferred from the south. In this way, we can gather a large number of reinforcements in the area of Jixian County! "Kou Yingjie, who has been deflated twice in Hubei, has always been unwilling, although both times are due to the relationship above, but this defeated black cauldron, he can't run, as a general, if he is just defeated again and again, relying on the appreciation of Shangguan and rising step by step, then how to raise his head in front of the world, so Kou Yingjie does not want to let go of this opportunity to earn honor and meritorious service.

The military plan written by Kou Yingjie to defend the city and drag down the Mongol army had just been submitted to Wu Peifu, and Wu Peifu, who also looked down on the Mongol cavalry in his heart, nodded and agreed. Even for the sake of insurance, he transferred twenty planes that had been left in Jixian County to escort Kou Yingjie's 50,000 troops.

Wu Peifu did this for no other reason, this will be Feng Department already had the idea of easing the peace talks, and even the ministers of various countries stationed in Jixian County were rushing in front of the two armies, but with the news that the Mongolian army took Chengde in one fell swoop, the ministers of various countries did not dare to make noise, Zhang Huzi's confidence was full again, and he repeatedly launched attacks in the past few days, although they were all in vain, but the morale of the Feng army was obviously improved.

got Wu Peifu's reply, "I want to prove that I am not a person who can only be promoted by my boss!" Kou Yingjie muttered silently in his heart.

But before he could implement some details of the plan, a man covered in blood came to the former enemy headquarters in Miyun and said: "The Mongols have suddenly attacked us!" ”

……

Miyun County is located at the foot of the Yanshan Mountains in the northeast of Jixian County, with a long history, mountains and beautiful scenery. Surrounded by mountains on the east, north and west, the peaks and peaks are undulating, and the majestic ancient Great Wall stretches on the lofty mountains; The southwest is a flood alluvial plain, and the total topography is surrounded by mountains on three sides, with a low and gentle middle and a dustpan shape with an opening in the southwest.

But at this moment, the Yanshan area is rumbling with cannons, like thunder roaring.

Under Kou Yingjie's military plan to defend the city and drag down the Mongol army, the one who dared to fire the first shot was, of course, the Mongol army that had just conquered Chengde.

When Kou Yingjie heard that Timur left Chengde and went straight to Jixian County, he seemed to smell a strong smell of gunpowder.

Now it seems that the other party is bombarding Yanshan, even if the commander of the Mongolian army does not really want to touch the tiger's buttocks, he is also going to test the true strength of the direct army. We must play the majesty of our direct army! Kou Yingjie touched his beard and thought, sure enough, the one who came was not good, and the good one did not come, if this Mongolian army could not be repulsed, then so many warlords of all sizes in the Chinese territory would not be able to make noise.

Kou Yingjie originally thought that there would be a buffer period of two to three months between himself and Mongolia, the Mongolian army came from afar in the desolate desert, and it was not allowed to enjoy it when it had just entered Chengde, and with these two to three months, the beard had already been cleaned up by Wu Dashuai, so these Mongolian troops were clowns, and it was not a problem. But I didn't expect that the other party even felt that three days was too long, and now I can't wait to do it.

Isn't it just bullying yourself now that you always lost the battle and had no prestige? If Wu Dashuai came in person, then these Mongolians would dare to find trouble? The more Kou Yingjie thought about it, the more angry he became, but after clearing his thoughts, he found that he was not left with nothing, and he had no power to fight back.

Fortunately, before leaving, Wu Dashuai took precautions and allocated the Feng army that had just surrendered to himself, and even the weapons of the Feng army were not only pulled to Shanhaiguan and the Feng army to bombard, but also the other light artillery was packed and sent over.

After a while, Kou Yingjie got the information, and the other party only fired twenty or thirty shots before stopping, and the meaning of the warning was very obvious. Judging by the effect of the shelling, the Mongols had some artillery under 100 mm caliber in their hands, and there were no heavy artillery. The absence of heavy artillery made Kou Yingjie breathe a sigh of relief. Thinking of the range and power of heavy artillery, Kou Yingjie was still a little jealous. Although both heavy artillery and light artillery are cannons, they are several levels inferior in power, and they are not a level of combat at all!

Kou Yingjie knew that his 50,000 subordinates had just gathered, had not yet received comprehensive training, and had not really formed combat effectiveness! That is, looking at the large number of people, if the enemy has heavy artillery, the impact on their morale is very severe. If they suffer too much shelling, there is even the possibility of counter-water.

However, at the moment both sides are in charge of light artillery, so it doesn't matter. In the case of basically the same weapons, even if they are not trained, they are not afraid of each other. Kou Yingjie didn't believe that the Mongol army's Su zhì could be so good.

The direct army that received the order, there was a burst of intense artillery preparation, dozens of cannons were transported to the designated position, and the barrels of the black holes stretched out from behind the temporary artillery bunkers.

Not long after, in Kou Yingjie's telescope, the figure of the flag soldier appeared.

The flag soldier waved vigorously, and the meaning of the flag represented: ready for battle, please give orders!

Kou Yingjie said coldly to the flag soldier beside him: "Send a signal, fire!" Hit me hard! ”

The flag soldier immediately waved the flag and conveyed the flag.

Soon, there was a response from the forward artillery positions. "Boom!" There was a loud bang, a huge shock, and it exploded.

"Poof!" A makeshift bunker boulder was blasted into the sky by the force of the explosion, and this irregular "stone projectile" swept across the sky and happened to hit the top of the former enemy's command post. "One of the beams of the command post was immediately smashed, several staff officers were pressed underneath, and there was chaos in the command post.

"They fired?" Kou Yingjie was pulled aside by several attendants and asked with an indignant frown. The artillery of this Mongolian army is also too accurate! But when I see the "cannonball" of this "culprit",

Kou Yingjie opened his mouth wide, speechless for a moment, and after a moment, "Fight back!" Kou Yingjie shouted through gritted teeth. Today's matter, if it can't be solved well, then it will be his laughing stock in the future, how can Kou Yingjie, who has suffered so many defeats, not be in a hurry.

The staff officers and others in the command post, Ba had to stay in the command post any longer, it was too dangerous here, and he quickly ran out and personally passed the order to the front line.

Merlin Zaran, Weiss and Liu Wei held binoculars and observed the position of the direct army that was still emitting white smoke, and they were speechless for a while.

Even Pang Bing, who was in charge of shelling the direct army, was stunned, this direct army had just lined up in formation, and these officers of the two armies who surrendered to the Mongols looked at it with envy! There are many people on the other side, there are many artillery, in case of a fight, it is still themselves who suffer, if it were not for the Mongol army of Timur behind him, it is estimated that these two armies of Zhifeng who surrendered to the Mongols would have run away long ago.

As soon as the direct army opened fire, Wei Si and Liu Wei were frightened, and when they settled down, they found that the other party's "shelling" was really very effective.

Pang Bing, who was smiling in his heart, thought that this direct army was really not good at coming, and if the good people didn't come, if they didn't agree, they would ...... Artillery fire. Even the artillery of our Feng army went directly to their old boss and directly "defected". I was just scared by you, and I almost retreated. But now...... You have a cannon, I also have a cannon, then it depends on who is arrogant!

"Boom!"

The Mongol positions were again preemptively fired.

Pang Bing, the commander of the Mongolian artillery, was born with a beard, and he also showed his face several times in front of Zhang Huzi. Compared with Wei Si and Liu Wei of the other two direct armies, he is definitely the leader of the Feng army in the Mongolian army. Now the Feng army was beaten down by the direct army, and the face of the entire Feng army was gloomy, and even if they surrendered to the Mongol army, they clearly felt the pressure of Timur on them. Soldiers rely on military merit, and with military merit, they have the right to speak, so Pang Bing worked hard. No, as soon as Timur's order was given, the Mongol army immediately opened fire

There were not many direct artillery pieces that surrendered to the Mongol army, they were all small cannons, and they were still old, even counting the artillery of the former Qing Dynasty. As for the Feng army, because it was a retreat, it blew up all the artillery that could not be taken away before retreating, and at present there were only two or three small cannons on hand, so Timur specially allocated forty artillery pieces produced in the camp for the effect of the shelling.

Looking at these Napoleonic cannons that resemble cultural relics, the officers of the two armies could only smile bitterly.

But these cannons are not good-looking, but they are very practical, after a burst of smoke and fire, forty solid bullets swept out a slightly arc trajectory in mid-air, and smashed towards the direct army position in the distance.

The distance between the two sides is about 1,500 meters. At such a distance, the hit rate of solid bullets is naturally extremely low. If you can hit, it's not that your luck is too good, but that the opponent's luck is too bad. However, when a solid bullet hits a position, unless it hits a soft object such as a sandbag, the damage caused by the splashed stone chips is the greatest.

Of course, the losses caused to the 50,000-strong army by relying only on these solid bullets are a drop in the bucket.

Just being hit by artillery and not firing back is a naked slap in the face, not to mention Kou Yingjie's most serious face problem at the moment.
