Chapter 69: Shoot at Me
The Qing army is getting closer and closer, black and oppressive, and the rolled up ash covers the sky and the sun.
Everyone's breathing stopped, time seemed to pass very slowly, and their throats and eyes were very thirsty.
The horses could no longer be driven, but the spears could still be clenched.
With static braking, with this iron armor, even if you die, you have to pull a few Jiannu backs!
Brothers, meet again in this white mountain and black water after eighteen years!
…………
When he was most nervous, Shi Dayong suddenly pulled up the mask again, turned his head and asked Jiang Wanli beside him: "How far is the range of the Hongyi cannon?" ”
"How far?"
Jiang Wanli was stunned, and didn't understand why Shi Dayong asked what the range of the Hongyi cannon was at this juncture, but he still blurted out: "Those who are far away can be as close as eight miles, and those who are close can be as far as four miles." ”
Four to eight miles, that is, two to four kilometers.
Shi Dayong said "um", those Jin troops who came to provoke may also know the range of the Hongyi cannon, so they broke into two or three miles below the city, so that they did not have to be afraid of the Ming army bombarding them with artillery, nor were they afraid of the Ming army's fire attack with insufficient range.
There were originally 26 Hongyi cannons on the city of Jinzhou, and 16 were dragged away by the ancestor Da Shou Xiu Da Linghe City, and now there are still 10 on the head of the city.
Jinzhou City is not only an important place, but also a Jedi, surrounded by the sea on three sides, so the defenders only need to hold the north gate, the other three gates do not have to send troops to garrison, anyway, the Jin army is impossible to bypass, unless they have the help of the water division, otherwise, there is only a strategy to attack the north gate, there is no other way.
Ten Hongyi cannons were now placed on the city wall behind him, looking at the Eight Banners cavalry that was coming like a tide, Shi Dayong had an idea and began to slowly ride his horse forward.
When he moved, Jiang Wanli and Cao Bianjiao were all shocked.
"General?" Jiang Wanli shouted in confusion.
"The brethren must have seen the power of the Red Cannon, so let us go again so that the city can fire cannons against us. In this way, even if you die, you are really dying vigorously and shattering your bones! ”
Shi Dayong continued to walk forward without looking back, and his heroic voice echoed behind him,
"Great!"
Hearing this, Cao Bianjiao smiled, burst out with pride, and simply removed the iron armor, bare his upper body, and stepped forward with his legs clamped.
"My Cao family has been the country for generations, and today my Cao Bianjiao can die with broken bones, and I am worthy of my ancestors and ancestors, and I am worthy of the court!"
"Leave your name in the world, why be afraid of broken bones!"
Before joining the army, Jiang Wanli, who had a reputation for showing off his talents, couldn't help but chant two sentences, and rode forward without fear.
One, two, three......
At the head of Jinzhou City, everyone's eyes widened, and they looked at the new staff general Shi Dayong leading his remnants to meet the Jin army slowly forward.
"My lord, what is Shi Dayong going to do?" At the head of the city, Zheng Guo's face was incredible. Shi Min's heavy armor is already difficult to fight, why does Shi Dayong still lead his troops forward, are they really not afraid of death?
Not far away, Zu Dale and Zu Kuan shouted in unison: "Good man! A good man who is not afraid of death! ”
Even Wu Xiang and Liu Zeqing also cast admiring glances at Shi Bu, who was advancing.
Heroes can be infectious.
"Dayong wants to die with Jiannu." Qiu Hejia's nose was sour, he couldn't bear to look at it anymore, and slowly turned his head.
The main forces with red flags have been killed, Shi Dayong is not an immortal, but I am afraid that this time it will be difficult to escape.
………
"Master, the Ming army is coming up?"
I don't know when, the "Ming barbarian" in Gushan Ezhen Ada's mouth became the "Ming army", and I couldn't help but be surprised to see the heavy armored cavalry of the Ming army running slowly towards him from a distance.
"Phew!"
Azig rode his mount, and his horse neighed, his hooves pouted, and he stood there like an iron skeleton. The twelve Baylors on the horse were heroic and vigorous. He took the clairvoyant mirror from Goshha's hand, looked at it, turned his head and asked Erke: "What does the Ming army want to do?" Do they think they are really invincible? ”
Erke groaned slightly, and affirmed: "Master, that Ming will go out of the city with a heart of death, and he also knows that he can't go back, so he wants to fight to the death with us." ”
"Hmph, fight to the end?" Azig laughed, "The horses are about to foam, and they still want to fight to the end, so the Ming general is too confident." After the laughter, Chong Bei Yuhuli made a gesture: "Take two Niu Lu to solve these Ming army heavy armor." ”
"Wow!"
A happy look appeared on Hu Li's face, the heavy armor of the Ming army defeated Donoyi, if he cleaned them up, he would definitely have to remember a lot of credit!
Can't wait to leap out of the horse, dozens of white-armored soldiers with red flags behind him followed, and on the right side, two Niu Lu cavalry galloped out at the same time, roaring to kill the Ming army that was being sent to the door.
………
While looking at the Jin soldiers who rushed over, he asked the soldiers around him in a relaxed tone: "You say, can the Hongyi cannon on the city hit us?" If we can't beat this, we won't be able to break our bones. ”
Jiang Wanli smiled slightly, looked behind him, and nodded: "General, don't worry, this distance is enough for the range of the Hongyi cannon." ”
"Is the Hongyi Cannon really that powerful?"
Cao Bianjiao had never seen the Hongyi cannon before, but he had only heard his uncle Cao Wenzhao say that the Hongyi cannon was powerful, and when he saw Shi Dayong respecting the Hongyi cannon so much, he couldn't help but ask curiously.
Shi Dayong said: "In a cannon station, there is an erosion of dozens of feet, and there is no physiology. After speaking, he glanced at Cao Bianjiao with some pity, and a sense of guilt arose spontaneously in his heart. Alas, perhaps, this is also a relief for Cao Bianjiao, at least, he doesn't have to die so suffocatingly.
"No physiology, well, okay." The smile on Cao Bianjiao's face has not receded, it is a smile that looks at death as home, a smile that is fearless of life and death.
"General, Jiannu is rushing up." Guo Yi shouted.
Glancing up, Shi Dayong did not hesitate to order Guo Yi: "Wave the flag, tell the city, and fire at me!" ”
"Yes, General!" Guo Yi's eyes turned red, and he repeated loudly: "Shoot at me!" Then without hesitation, he raised the military flag and waved it towards Jinzhou City.
…………
Some readers raised the question of the weight of Mongolian horses, and here I will say that the Iron Floating Tu built by Shi Dayong is essentially a reference to the Mongolian heavy cavalry, and the details can be seen in the Mongolian Western Expedition. The double armor of men and horses is about 120 catties, harassed by light horses, and raided by heavy horses. Most of the speculations that the Mongols did not have heavy cavalry are false.
In the other two Song Dynasty, the Jin army also had an iron floating massage, and the weight of the test was more than 100 catties, and the Jin war horses were also Mongolian horses.
Purebred Mongolian horses can be changed to heavy cavalry. The text is not apocryphal, nor is it a desire for lewdness, but it is actually for the use of predecessors. It's just that light cavalry is more practical than heavy armor, and heavy armor is difficult to build, can't be replenished, and can't highlight the strengths of cavalry, so it is gradually abandoned.
