Because of the proximity and the dense number of people, the hit rate of the musket was incredibly high, almost the guns were bloody, and the bullets bit the flesh.

After the Ming army finished shooting one round, it retreated, and the second team took over and continued to shoot, so that after twelve rounds of shooting, no one stood on the battlefield, whether it was the Liao army or the Ming army.

There was silence in the city wall, no one could be happy, if it was in a field battle, annihilating 60,000 Liao troops at the cost of 10,000 people, it would definitely be an incomparable victory. But now, no one in the walls can rejoice.

Not only could Jeruzie not believe his own eyes, but Jerujing couldn't believe his own eyes either.

The second wave of 30,000 Liao cavalry, which completely occupied the initiative on the battlefield, fell one by one at this moment, and there was not even a chance to fight back or order a retreat.

This is so shocking, the power of firearms has reached such terrifying levels? Is there no way to fight it?

Yelu Qianxi, Yelu Jing's uncle, thought of one point, that is, the power of firearms can only be exerted in the vicinity. He said to Yelu Jingjin: "Your Majesty, the collapse of the city wall of Jizhou occurred because the leather room army took the initiative to attack the location of the city wall, and the 60,000 troops of today's ministers were also close to the city wall of Qianzhou before the whole army was wiped out. It can be seen that although the firearms of the Ming army are huge, their shortcomings are also obvious, that is, they can only be near, not far. ”

Yelu Jing was convinced of Yelu Qixi's summary, and he speculated why Baili Wuji changed his mind and suddenly returned to Qianzhou with Chai Rong after the battle.

"Baili Wuji may be singing an empty city story. In fact, in the city of Qianzhou, except for the retreating Ming army in Danzhou. There is no other army. This explains the confusion of why such a small city simply cannot accommodate a large number of ambushes. Baili Wuji originally wanted to flee with Chai Rong to Hainan, but later because I suddenly attacked. And I was worried that Qianzhou City would not be protected, so I came back, on the one hand, to fiercely defend the morale, and the most important thing was to make me think that he had something to rely on in Qianzhou City, and he didn't dare to attack rashly? But why does he care so much about the gains and losses of Qianzhou City? ……”

It was as if he were talking to himself, and as if he were speaking to Jerex.

Yelu Qixi thought for a while and said: "Baili Wuji used his example as bait to lead the main force of the Liao army to Yanyun. In order to gain something on the Western Front. The Ming army and the Zhou army on the battlefield on the Western Front are counterattacking, and the battlefield situation is very bad for our country, and the remnants of the army have retreated to the northwest. in order to rendezvous with the Obstruction Army that came to reinforce them; Our army's southern army also had to abandon the occupied Zhou Guozhou County and retreat northward, and the northern army was transferred to Yanyun with 50,000 troops, and there was no ability to reinforce the southern army, so they could only wait for the southern army to take the initiative to go north to join it. ”

Jeremy said, "Of course I know this. The battlefield on the Western Front was insignificant compared to Yanyun. This time, as long as Yanyun is occupied. can take advantage of the situation to go south in one fell swoop, and when the time comes, how many states and counties will be spit out, Ming and Zhou. What I want to know is why Baili Wuji gave up the opportunity to cross the sea and flee to the sea, and instead returned to Qianzhou City with Chai Rong? Could it be ......, what secrets are there in the city? But what secret can be compared to the two emperors? ”

Yelu Qixi was stunned for a moment and said, "The two countries are in peace." ”

The two of them stared at each other, and suddenly Yelu Jing spoke: "The secret of firearms." If there is a secret of firearms in the city of Qianzhou. Then Baili Wuji and Chai Rongsheng were afraid that I would capture Qianzhou and get the secret production of firearms from firearms manufacturing. In this way, not only can our army be strengthened, but also the fortified cities in the Central Plains can no longer resist the advance of our army, so the two can return to Qianzhou regardless of their own safety. ”

In this way, it seems that all doubts can be cleared up.

Yelu Qixi hurriedly patted the horse and said, "The emperor is wise." ”

Yelu Jing ignored it, and still said, "But why did Baili Wuji put such an important secret in the land of Yanyun? Although this city is small, it will take a lot of time to build, and it will not be completed in a short time. ”

Yelu Qixi said cautiously: "According to the minister's opinion, two years ago, Baili Wuji originally wanted to build a stronghold for the production of firearms in Qianzhou, and thus began to encroach on our territory to the north. Later, seeing that my country and other countries made the first move, Baili Wuji had to give up the original plan, and only then did he come up with a plan to use his example as bait. ”

Yelu Jing nodded, if this is the case, there will be no ambush soldiers in Qianzhou City, and there is no doubt that there will be no doubt that there will be no doubt about the empty city.

Yelu Jing immediately ordered: "It will be late today, so order the west and north roads to stop the attack and fight again tomorrow." ”

Jereus replied, "Yes." Just as he was about to retreat, suddenly Yelujing ordered: "Gather enough men to bring the catapults, go now, and I will see thousands of catapults standing in front of the battle tomorrow morning." ”

Although Yelu Qixi secretly complained in his heart, he knew that Yelu Jing's order was right, so he reluctantly did it.

After losing 60,000 soldiers to the west, the Liao army stopped attacking. Chen Yanzheng's 20,000 Ming army in the north and Yelutira's 20,000 Liao army fought more victoriously and have been unable to hold each other.

At this time, Yelujing's order to stop the attack came, and the soldiers of the two armies withdrew their hands and returned to the camp, waiting for the next day.

Baili Wuji has been silent since the order, which also caused the soldiers of the Ming army in the city to be silent, and even when changing guards, they were all whispering, as if it would disturb Baili Wuji's contemplation.

Chai Rong understood his pain from Baili Wuji's stiff eyes just now, and Chai Rong sighed in his heart: "It turns out that he is just an ordinary person. ”

Only God will make a decision, and only God will know how to renounce.

Baili Wuji doesn't know how to give up, so he is just a man, not a god.

Chai Rong had no choice, he didn't belong to the kind of person who could persuade people, he could only watch Baili Wuji meditate silently there.

In the evening, Peng Xiao returned from the ship, and he was in charge of the dispatch of the entire fleet and the salvo of naval guns. This is the last line of defense of Qianzhou City, if even the 3,600 artillery pieces of Qianzhou City can't stop the Liao army, then the naval guns fire a salvo, blow up Qianzhou City, and cut off the pursuit of the Liao army, and everyone retreats into the fleet led by Peng Xiao to cross to the south.

Peng Xiao shouldn't have come, but after hearing about today's war, he felt that he should come.

Standing in front of Baili Wuji, Peng Xiao, who was several years younger than Baili Wuji, didn't know how to persuade him.

Peng Xiao only said one sentence, and presented a bag, saying: "Your Majesty, when the minister went down the mountain, the family teacher had a bag, saying that if the emperor hesitated, he could open it and take a look." ”

Baili Wuji was shocked when he heard it, could Du Guangting expect today? That's amazing, isn't it?

Baili Wuji, who felt weak all over his body, said without raising his head: "Then you can open it and read it to me." (To be continued......)
