Chapter 299: Offensive and Defensive Escalation (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

According to the habits of the Mongols, the weather is freezing and the eyes are covered with snow, and when it is time to fight, it is very good to get some antlers to resist the horses.

Obviously, their common sense is very wrong, and the Yizhou soldiers definitely attach the most importance to civil engineering in this era.

Half a year ago, Zhang Ke had encouraged Sun Yuanhua to lead the breakthrough in ironmaking technology, manufacture qualified spring steel, and realize the large-scale production of flintlock pistols.

Sun Yuanhua is indeed a capable person, gathered the skilled craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty, and hired more than a dozen Western missionaries, after half a year of hard work, although the spring steel has not been completely made, but it has pushed the steelmaking technology of Yizhou to a big step.

With high-quality steel-excellent-excellent-small-say-more-new-most-fast-www.uuxs.cc-iron, Zhang Ke equipped his subordinates with a sharp weapon, that is, a sapper shovel!

As a former national defense student, Zhang Ke is no stranger to the sapper shovel that can be called an artifact, small shovel, pickaxe, prying, stabbing, saw, knife, all kinds of functions are dazzling, and it is simply omnipotent.

After some research, Zhang Ke removed some functions that were not applicable at the moment, and finally developed the first special sapper shovel of the Ming Dynasty.

This is a shovel and a bayonet!

!

As Zhang Ke's eldest brother, Zhang Feng's subordinates took the lead in assembling sapper shovels, and they were soon conquered. The sharp and sturdy sapper shovel is as powerful as a bamboo, even when facing the gravel floor. When fighting, the heavy sapper shovel turned out to be more effective than the ordinary waist knife.

The trench outside Yingzhou City is the masterpiece of these sapper shovels, and Zhang Feng did not expect that the first time he used it, he would have such great results.

The Tartar soldiers fell into it one after another, and their bodies were pierced by bamboo sticks at the bottom of the pit, and blood gushed out. Dead in sight. Before those who had been lucky enough to escape had time to rejoice, the horses behind rushed up, their hooves crushing their heads and shattering their chests.

Hundreds of the strongest warriors died, including Jebe, the sharpshooter!

He was crushed under two war horses, half of his arms and legs were broken, and he couldn't even move, so he could only let the war horses trample him on the mud......

"Look at it, what a bullshit warrior, what if you can shoot an eagle. Cannon fodder only! โ€

Zhana pursed his lips with disdain, he exchanged glances with Shanba, and quickly read the other party's exclamation: The Ming army is really powerful!

The Tartars, who had suffered losses, continued to move forward, and they were angry and resentful, and they opened their bows and arrows one after another, preparing to make the Ming army look good. But as soon as they looked up, there were more interesting gifts waiting for them.

The sound of fire rang out, the smoke of gunpowder rose, and a storm of lead fell on the Tartar. A mist of blood erupted. The Tartar parents screamed and broke their tendons. What's more, the head was knocked off, and blood and brains were splattered.

Gunshots rang out. Row after row, smoke filled the city, the smell of gunpowder and blood mingled, and patches of tartars fell to the ground. The ranks thinned out in an instant.

The tartar on horseback looked around in dismay, and his companions fell one by one, maybe the next moment. He's going to follow in his footsteps and become a cold corpse. Intense fear spread among the tartars, and some simply chose to retreat.

Originally, I wanted to show off my might and show off, but I actually kicked the iron plate, and more than 500 Tartars died in the trench more than 100, and more than 200 were killed by the firecracker, and the rest of the souls were scattered and fled back one after another.

Seeing them flee in the shadows, the soldiers in the city couldn't help but cheer, but Zhang Feng slapped his head and screamed bitterly.

He led the troops over to act as a bait, and as soon as the battle began, he scared the Tartars, and turned his head to rob other places, wouldn't it ruin Zhang Ke's overall strategy!

"Oh, you shouldn't have done it!" Zhang Feng said in frustration: "These Tartars are really waste, how come they don't even have the ability to build slaves......

No matter how Zhang Feng scolded and scolded, the Tartar side really had no idea of attacking, and his heart couldn't help but shrink!

"His Royal Highness the King Khan, the fighting power of the Ming army is very strong, and the firearms are particularly sharp, everyone has seen it. Our Mongolian warriors have never been tough, since this place is heavily guarded, let's go somewhere else, the Ming people are not immortals, I don't believe that everywhere is heavily guarded! "It was the one who spoke, he was the commander of the Shobe Taiji Badu, he was in the coalition army, and his strength was not much less than that of Gartu, and his words carried a lot of weight.

Taijibal of the Karaqin tribe also stood up and said: "That's right, the warriors of the Mongols cannot be bound by the city, we are the masters on horseback, and stopping in one place is like an eagle losing its wings, which is the most stupid act!" โ€

His words were faintly sarcastic about Galtu's inability to use soldiers, and there were many discussions about the big and small Taiji present, some people agreed with it, and some people opposed it.

Gartu sat in the middle, looking at the chaotic crowd, his brows were tightened, it seemed that Yingzhou was not easy to fight!

He spun around, and his eyes fell on Shanba in the corner.

"Shanbateiji, what do you think?"

When Shanba heard this, he hurriedly stood up, lowered his head and was extraordinarily deferential, thought for a while and said: "What the two Huang Taiji said is reasonable, but the Ming people put all the grain and grass in Yingzhou, where the oil and water are the most abundant, give up Yingzhou, divide the troops and rob, how much can you grab!" โ€

Batu's face was gloomy, and his nose snorted.

"Adults talk, how can you interject!"

God is pitiful, Shanba is also in his thirties, and he was treated as a child, and his anger can be imagined, he really has the heart to draw a knife and fight hard, but when he thinks of his strength, he endures his anger.

"Batu Taiji, the other tuntian locations of the Ming people have confiscated even a season of grain, you go to rob, except for a little slave, there is nothing! This year's white plague is worse than before, and the people are still hungry, do you have extra food to feed the slaves? It's not like you're going to starve to death, don't you like to eat human flesh quickly? โ€

"If you dare to slam your mouth, take it for me!" Batu glared at him, and he was about to do it.

Standing beside Gartu, Ombu Chuhu'er didn't do anything, he walked over and said sharply: "What Shanbataiji said is wrong, you can refute it, but don't let people speak, what is this?" โ€

The first warrior came out, and Batu's momentum was weak. Gartu coughed and said, "Shanba, what else do you have to say?" Just say it all at once! โ€

"Yes! King Khan, two days ago, Wuban Taiji arrived, and nearly 10,000 elite cavalry under his command were scattered by the Ming army, with heavy casualties, and there were only a few hundred people left around him! โ€

As soon as these words came out, many Taiji were shocked, they had not heard of it, and they did not believe that the Han people had this combat power at all, and they immediately buzzed.

Shanba ignored them and continued, "If you follow the practice of Batu Huang Taiji. Divide the troops and loot, in case any of them encounter the main force of the Ming army, they will inevitably suffer heavy losses, and may even be wiped out, are you willing to take this risk? โ€

The Taiji looked at each other, obviously embarrassed.

Bale pursed his lips and said contemptuously: "When did the Han people become so brave, aren't they lying?" โ€

Shanba smiled slightly: "Shanba never lies, the commander of the Ming army is called Zhang Ke." In a battle in the Hunhe River, he killed 10,000 people under the Jurchen Old Khan King, and it is better for everyone to be cautious when fighting with such an opponent! โ€

Most of the Taiji present thought that this was a feast of robbery. But at this time, they suddenly woke up, and it turned out that the other party was not a soft persimmon.

As the middle of the Gartu, he was still very happy to see that everyone's momentum was suppressed.

"Yingzhou is the center of the Ming people, and there is food in it. There are strong soldiers, but no matter how strong they are, they are only a few thousand people. As long as we work together, we will definitely win! In this way, my Tumut Department will set an example, the first wave will attack Yingzhou, and other tribes will follow, even if we take human lives to fill it, we will take Yingzhou, and the Ming army will collapse without a fight! โ€

Unifying his thoughts, the Tartars quickly came out of the first setback, showed their true skills, and launched a fierce attack.

Dozens of tall shield carts were pushed out of the ranks and staggered towards the city, followed by a large number of servants, pushing wheelbarrows loaded with large chunks of dirt, apparently to fill in the trenches.

The war drums rumbled, earth-shattering, and seeing the overwhelming Tartars, Zhang Feng was not afraid, but laughed excitedly.

The Tartars were not scared away, and the grand strategy was not destroyed.

Come on, how many tartars, Grandpa Zhang has fought with you!

"Artillery, shoot!"

Furlong cannons rumbled, and fist-sized lead shots erupted, mercilessly slamming towards the Tartars. Two lead pellets hit the shield cart directly, sending sawdust flying all over the sky, and the Tartar wolf bรจi behind fled away, and a few more fell into the crowd, setting off a rain of blood.

The Tartars in the charge kept dying, and the Galtu was ruthless, not caring about sacrifice at all.

The Tartars rushed forward one after the other, and rushed up in countless numbers. Guns rang out at the head of the city, and corpses were layered one after another. At last some of the Tartars rushed to the bottom of the city, and they erected ladders and climbed up desperately.

They were greeted by several specially shaped weapons, which were smashed down by the sapper shovel with the wind. The helmet was slashed in an instant, and the sound of bones shattering was heard from inside, and the Tartars fell to the city.

"This thing is better than a waist knife!" A soldier grinned, and several Tartars rushed up on the side, and the soldiers with sapper shovels rushed forward, the momentum was heavy, the steel mouth was hard, the Tartar's scimitar was cut off at once, and with a backhand knife, half of the head was gone, and the Tartar's body fell straight down to the city.

"Not good!"

The fighting soldiers hurriedly bowed their heads, and several bows and arrows pressed against their heads, and in an instant their backs were soaked.

Archers for Tartars are not simple.

But even more powerful than them are those Dense Guns, who hide among ordinary firecrackers, waiting for worthy targets.

Smack, smack, smack......

A series of gunshots rang out, and the five sharpshooters were beaten into a sieve.

In the evening, when the battle lasted for a while, Galtu had to temporarily withdraw his troops, and his men had a thousand dead in the battle alone, and the old fellow was furious.

The next day, Batu served as the main attacker, he used all his skills, and even personally went to the front line to supervise the battle, but there was no effect at all, and his losses were greater than that of Gartu, more than 1,700 people.

On the third day, it was Balak, who also suffered heavy losses...... It's good now, don't laugh at anyone.

The not-so-tall city of Yingzhou was like a rock, standing in front of them, standing majestically and unmoving.

On the fifth day, someone suddenly came to report that the men and horses sent by Lin Dan Khan had arrived, with a full 20,000 elite soldiers, and the confidence of all the Mongols swelled again.
