At the head of the city, Hu Hansan, who had not yet waited for the rotation, was patrolling with his personal guards, and suddenly heard a movement from the southern section of the city, and his vigilant heart immediately became nervous and hurried over.

Before I arrived at the place, I saw that a few firewood piles that had been lit because it was dark had been extinguished, and several soldiers of the Heavenly Army were shooting arrows at the head of the city.

The platoon commander in charge saw Hu Hansan passing, and hurriedly came over to pray: "Regiment commander, the sentry cavalry of Jianyu took advantage of the cover of the night, quietly approached, and suddenly accelerated, and tried to extinguish the fire with mud. ”

Hu Hansan nodded, indicating that the situation was understood, and then picked up the binoculars and looked out of the city.

But at night, beyond the range of the fire, the rest of the place is basically unclear, and no effective information can be obtained.

His brows furrowed, and after a little thought, he explained to the platoon leader: "Let the sharpshooters of your platoon take turns to keep an eye on, and as long as they find Jianyu rushing close, they will shoot his mother." The flintlock musketeers are also ready, and if they want to extinguish the fire, they must make them pay! ”

I was afraid that the movement would be too big, so I didn't dare to shoot, but just shot with a bow and arrow. At this time, the platoon commander immediately arranged for it. In this case, the effect of using a flintlock pistol will be much stronger than that of a bow and arrow, as long as the first blow of the flintlock pistol can ignite.

A similar order was immediately conveyed by heralds down the city wall, and soon they returned to Hu Hansan in a circle.

Jianyu is also cunning, and he is silent after just making a move, just like a wolf hiding in the shadows, waiting until you relax and come again.

However, no matter how cunning the wolf is, when he encounters a hunter called the Heavenly Army, he will have to pay the price.

After a long time, in the dim light of the eastern part of the city, eight or nine prisoners carried a large bag of dirt after receiving the order. The horses, which had been wrapped in cotton cloth, slowly accelerated, and when the firelight illuminated the range, the speed suddenly increased, and it was only then that the faint sound of horses' hooves sounded.

These were the Mongols under Guerbush who were skilled in horsemanship, not Jurchen Tartars. They have enough self-confidence. Before the enemy at the head of the city could react, he had already retreated.

The speed was raised, the cloth bag was grasped with both hands, the body was leaned to the left, and the horses were slightly controlled by their feet to sweep the fire from the left side, everything was perfect.

At this moment, the sound of "bang bang" sounded on the head of the city, and these Mongolian Tartars, who rushed up to try to extinguish the fire, fell to the ground with men and horses. or struggling and wailing, or motionless, long since he died.

However, there was also a firewood pile that was hit by fallen people and horses, and the firewood was scattered, and it was estimated that it would be extinguished soon, and it could be regarded as using their lives to put out the fire.

Seeing this from a distance, Guerbush was startled and hurriedly sent someone to stop his men in the other sections. It can no longer be filled with human lives.

His mind was full of doubts, how could the fire guns on the city react so quickly? Didn't see the highlight of the arquebus. It may be because of the city walls. But the arquebus burns, and they have to constantly adjust the position of the fire head, how can there be so many fire guns?

The appearance of flintlock pistols, as well as the lack of knowledge of the enemy situation on the part of the Dordor troops, made them passive from top to bottom. This is also what the book of war says, why know oneself and know one's opponent. The reason why you can be sure of winning all battles.

Guerbush didn't figure it out in the end, but he had to complete the task assigned by Duoduo, and after thinking about it for a while, he finally came up with a way to be experienced in warfare.

It didn't take long for the city to call the soldiers of the Heavenly Army. I noticed a little light in the distance, and soon, the light flew over very quickly, and with a "poof", it was inserted near the fire.

There must be a captivity in the light, but it's too far away to fight back. Hu Hansan looked through the telescope and soon discovered Jianyu's attempt.

They wanted to use rockets to ignite the remaining unburned firewood in the pyre, to speed up the burning of the pyre, so that it could be extinguished as soon as possible.

The arrangement of the firewood piles is exquisite, and only in this way can those firewood piles burn long enough. But now it seems that this trick is afraid that it has been broken by Jianyu.

Because there is no shortage of sharpshooters among the captives, they shoot from a distance, and it will not take long for them to shoot firewood.

Hu Hansan frowned, thinking about this new situation. At this moment, Uncle Mo led his men over, and the time for a change of guard came.

So, Hu Hansan described the current situation to Uncle Mo in detail. Uncle Mo, who was born as a "grassland bandit", had no way to do this, frowning and at a loss.

"In this case, I will go back and report to the chief to see if there are any latest instructions." Hu Hansan thought for a while and said to him.

Uncle Mo nodded, that's the only way to do it.

It didn't take long for Hu Kuan to come to the city in person. He saw the pyres burning, and it seemed that it would not be long before darkness would return to the outside of the city.

Hu Kuan looked at half of the salary, and finally turned his head and explained to Uncle Mo: "Tie the torch with a long pole and stretch it out of the city, so that it can shine a little farther away." In addition, check the anti-arrow shed, so that the soldiers must stay under the shed. ”

In last night's battle, the most casualties among the soldiers of the Heavenly Army were covered by the enemy's arrows. Therefore, at the meeting, someone made this suggestion, and made a shed more than one person high out of shields or wooden rafts. If there is another rain of arrows outside the city, it can fall to the roof of the shed, thus protecting the soldiers of the Heavenly Army inside.

These sheds were taken out after dark, so that the builders could find them later. Therefore, Hu Kuan was afraid that there would be something unstable, so he confessed to Uncle Mo.

"Yes, Brigadier." Uncle Mo naturally agreed and asked his personal guards to convey the order.

Hu Kuan looked at it again and found that there was no follow-up movement from Jianyu, presumably waiting for the pyre to finish burning. He thought for a while, and then instructed Uncle Mo: "No matter what the hell Jianyu does, he must hit the head of the city, and you can do it if you don't change." If the Jianlu attacks in a big way, send someone to call me. ”

The senior generals in the Heavenly Army have all learned some knowledge from Qi Jiguang's military book, which was sorted out by Hu Guang. But none of them came from the regular army, and they had not experienced the attack and defense of the large armies against each other, so they could only carefully figure out how to deal with it.

Uncle Mo nodded, and after Hu Kuan left, he kept careful guard, and after the pyre was extinguished, there was no movement.

The night grew darker and the people became sleepy. Uncle Mo's nerves, which had been tense, also felt a little tired. He yawned, rubbed his eyes, and then condescendingly observed the movement outside the city from the arrow tower, while listening to his subordinates report the situation everywhere when they came back from their inspections.

Suddenly, he felt something move. As a man from the grassland, he was more sensitive than others, and he judged that it was the sound of a large group of war horses charging with cotton cloth, which was coming quickly from far and near. (To be continued.) )
