He also sent those three envoys to question Ding Yi first, not really needing an answer, but needing a reason, just like the so-called seven hatreds of Jianyu hundreds of years later. At a deeper level, I hope that the Ming Dynasty will be in chaos, and the courtiers loyal to Yingzong and the courtiers loyal to Emperor Jing will be coaxed because of him, so that for him, it will be more effortless to break through the Jingshi.

Whether the Ming Dynasty kills his envoy or the Ming ignores his envoy, the Warat army will send troops to attack. It's just that after being made by Ding Yi for a while last night, some people in the forward camp were panicked for a while, and the little Khan of one of the tribes also let Ding Yi kill him, and he first assigned another tribe to fill the siege vanguard, and then distributed the men and horses of the dead tribe Xiao Khan to other tribes before coming to attack the city.

Obviously, the craftsmen and people who were plundered outside the Bauhinia Pass and Datong Pass made the Warat people have a certain reliance on the siege of the city, watching the dust flying, the smoke and dust rushing straight like arrows, tens of thousands of iron horses galloping, and the endless terrifying momentum of the mountains and fields, when they went to a stop an arrow away, they heard the sound of the horns, and a team of siege rams squeezed out of those cavalry.

The battering ram is a rope on the horses of the four cavalry, a thick siege cone cut from a giant wood, once it is smashed down by horsepower, I am afraid that it will not be less than 10,000 catties, it is now looking at the dozens of battering rams, and the defenders on the city wall are cold, and if they are smashed down like this, it is the iron gate, and they will not be able to carry it in the end!

However, perhaps the defenders can be thankful that at least until the moat is filled, these battering rams are not used for the time being.

But soon the Varat cavalry drove out countless unkempt captives, and the Tartars drove them away with whips and bows, while the captives with their hands tied could only scream and groan, and carry sacks of dirt. Staggered to the moat.

There was never any mercy in the war, and these captured Ming soldiers and civilians looked at the tall walls of the Beijing Division, and their eyes were begging, sad, sad, and panicking, and more at a loss and confusion about fate. But the governor of Changyi Gate, Gao Li, gritted his teeth and ordered, although his eyes were red: "Release the arrow!" ”

He has no choice, war never allows for choice, only life and death.

The bowstrings of countless longbows are collapsing, even the snow is isolated, even the wind is shot through, and the arrows like rain are "Boom, boom!" "Fall. There was a helpless body, nailed to the ground, in this Jingshi that belonged to them. And at this time the wind is getting stronger, the wind direction is gradually changing, and the north wind.

The sound of the bull's horn sounded again. The Warattars finally stopped expelling their captives to fill the moat, because it was clear that the Ming army at the head of the city was not relented by this. And the Tartars were reluctant to exchange their slaves for an arrow from the Ming. That's it. Cruelty becomes mercy, and the death of the captives in front accomplishes the life of the captives in the back.

And more importantly, the north wind.

For the Warats, it's a tailwind.

War horses began to gallop in the wind and snow, and clusters of arrows rained faster than the Ming army at the head of the city. More concentrated constantly thrown.

The blue bricks at the head of the city were hit by arrows from time to time and sparks, and the screams of the Ming army sounded at the head of the city, and the shields were propped up in a panic, covering these people who were not originally soldiers. Fear in the heart. Outside the city, a thousand-person team galloped by, and another thousand-person team began to shoot, the fierce north wind was the most ferocious killer, it made the Ming army that could have shot the Warat people, virtually shortened the range, and the Warat people who could have reached the head of the city, but in the wind let the arrow rain fly farther, it doesn't matter if the head is accurate, this is not a contest between hunters and prey, this is a war, it is a battlefield, the number of arrows thrown in an instant, determines the control of the battlefield.

"Crossbow!" The governor Gao Li, who was under the cover of his own soldiers, hissed and gave the order. The bed crossbow that had already been wound was smashed with the hammer in the soldier's hand, and the spear-like arrows roared out, tearing the stinky leather armor on the body of the Varat Tartar who had just finished the arrow, piercing his skin, cutting his muscles, breaking his bones, and then passing through the body of another Varat Tartar, and the whole spear-like arrow, which was red with blood, continued to move forward until it burst the skull of another Tartar, and then shot through a war horse, and then flew a long distance before it was nailed to the ground, still trembling.

This is the bed crossbow.

Not just one bed crossbow was fired, but eight bed crossbows, each with three large spear-like arrows, and at one time in the cavalry formation of the Varattars, shoveling out dozens of flesh passages. For a time, hundreds of watts of Tartar were killed by this kind of weapon that was about to withdraw from the stage of history, and the ghost cried wolf.

Gao Li was really sweating under the shield, the key parts of these eight bed crossbows were sold by the shops of the Ding family in Rongcheng, and the price was thousands of taels of silver each, and the other generals at that time thought it was ridiculous, since there were firearms, the bulky thing of bed crossbows had long been eliminated, and in the orthodox years, basically no one knew how to get it - no one would get it! Not to mention the range of four or five hundred steps, you must know the liliang with three bows and eight oxen crossbows and eight oxen on the winding! Can you imagine, how long did it take to last string, and how many people?

Although there are only one hundred and fifty paces of the hundred tigers running together, the victory lies in the large number, and once each box of hundred rounds is fired, it is like a hundred people shooting together;

The fire dragon can shoot 800 steps out of the water, which is farther than a bed crossbow! And as long as you light it, you don't need any power!

Therefore, the Ding family shop came to Beijing to sell the key components of the three-bow and eight-ox crossbow, claiming that as long as the money and silver were given, three bed crossbows could be loaded in one day, and no one cared about it at all, first, this thing was too backward; The second is something that has been lost for a long time, who believes that a shop can be restored?

The reason why Gao Li gave out these 8,000 taels of silver was just that Ding Yi saved the emperor back to Beijing at that time, and all the nobles felt that they should congratulate Ding for his meritorious work, and Emperor Jing sat on the dragon chair again, so when he found out that the Ding family's shop was the property operated by Liu Yiyi, the wife of the Ding family, those nobles who were close to the British government got together and taught Gao Li to buy eight bed crossbows, which should be given to Ding Yi for nothing. I can't imagine that it will be really made, and I can't imagine that it will really come in handy today.

"Fire dragon out of the water!" Gao Li ordered that if there was no crossbow to suppress the rain of arrows from the Warats under the city, who would dare to set up a fire dragon out of the water? But now that this opportunity has come, the pro-soldiers who follow Gao Li will naturally not let it go. In the wind and snow, a puff of fire flickered, and many fire dragons were carried out of the water, lit and whistled away, although they did not have the rough destructiveness of a bed crossbow, but they flew in all directions with the light of fire. The firearms, which were long enough to fire, still confused the Varats in the forward, and they had to retreat and reorganize their formation.

By this time, the sun was setting, and the wind had subsided, and the battle of the day was probably over.

After all, it was the first offense and defense of the two sides, and it could be regarded as spying, and they had a general understanding of each other's strength.

But when Gao Li remembered the situation of being overwhelmed by the rain of arrows from the wind of the Warats, he was unwilling in his heart, as a martial artist, if he didn't have this bit of blood. and is not worthy to be a commander of the city. When Yu Qian came to inspect, he said to Yu Qian: "Da Sima, you have to borrow someone from the public." ”

"The governor said yes." Yu Qian looked at the result and was extremely satisfied, so he used the bed crossbow and firearms to scare Vara away. What kind of soldiers are the soldiers of the Beijing Division? Except for the limited number of thousands of elite soldiers. The other 200,000 elites were lost in the Tumu Fort, the soldiers wearing battle robes among the nine gates. They were all improvised. At most, a farmer who has only been trained for a few months can be able to fight like this with the Warat Iron Horseman, which is extremely good.

"Don't be rude to those who come! A certain person is determined to attack at night, please borrow Ding Rongcheng for use! ”

Yu Qian thought about it, and finally stroked his beard and said: "Rujin stepped on the enemy camp last night, and I don't know if the energy can be taken into account. But according to his nature of sacrificing himself for the country, as long as he speaks, he will not refuse. If the governor has a perfect plan, the old man will go and ask Rujin. There is no need to do so. "There is no room for infighting at this juncture, no matter what Lord Yu Qian Yu thinks of someone Ding, if the war starts, he must also leave it behind, this Lord Yu can't do it, and it won't be his turn to leave a name for eternity.

"Is the war safe? Defend but not attack, but wait to be killed! ”

"Okay, the old man will lend Ding Rujin to you, the governor, this son Qiwei, please ......" At this juncture, Yu Qian was not thinking about whether Ding Yi's life and death had lost his combat strength in the defense of the Beijing Division, but morale. Ding Yi, who returned from the camp, was so frightened that Ding Yi, who killed his companion by Waratart, was already a banner, and if Ding Yi died in the night attack, it would be a great blow to morale.

Gao Li clasped his fists and responded: "If you have to return, Ding Rongcheng will return." ”

This is already the most practical promise, if even he himself is trapped in it and can't come back, what can he say to keep Ding Yi?

Yu Qian nodded and walked towards Desheng Gate.

It's night again, but the wind and snow are gone.

Ding Yi rode on the black horse, with only Xiao Yi behind him.

"Bite." Ding handed a piece of cork to Xiao Yat, who took it and gritted it between his teeth.

Ding Yi asked Xiao Yi again: "Before me, you will move forward, and you must not hesitate if you are cowardly; If I retreat, you will go backwards, and you must not be greedy for merit and waste, can you do it? The latter nodded solemnly, and Ding Yi smiled and said, "Alas, I really can't live with the Nawarat people, but I can't sleep tonight, my hands are itchy, and I can't do anything, so I have to go with the senior deputy general to kill a few." The elite soldiers selected by Governor Gaoli and Mao Fushou on the side couldn't help but feel a little more relaxed when they listened, if they weren't all in their mouths, maybe many people would laugh out loud.

"Ding Rongcheng, we will all obey your orders tonight." Du Du Gaoli said with a fist at Ding Yi. This is not the military attaché's respect for civilian officials, it is the purity of the martial arts, and his heartfelt respect for Ding Yi, who can save seven hundred captives without losing one of them with eight disciples. There are high-quality guns and iron pulleys, and there are overlords with immortal bravery, but there are really few cases of zero casualties.

Listening to Gao Li's words, Ding Yi was not humble, and immediately assigned men to set off from Changyi Gate, and first set fire to the horse shed of the Tartar camp with light soldiers; Then the mines, which were used in actual combat during the Ming Dynasty, were arranged on the main roads in the Wara camp; Zuihou took the general of the Warat forward with a group of elite troops.

As for Yexian, it is still far from the Changyi Gate, not to mention the 100,000 iron cavalry with loose discipline, and the division-level troops of tens of thousands of people in a few hundred years, it is extremely difficult to touch the division finger.

Ding Yi naturally would not have planned such a battle.

"Let's go." With Ding Yi's order, the Ming army, which was divided into three groups, according to Ding Yi's order, wore white sheets and touched the enemy camp in the snow. (To be continued......)
