Chapter 398: The Son of Trenches! [2 more]

"Not good!"

The moment they heard the thunder, Balsborough and other Tatar generals felt a little bad in their hearts, and the guards guarding around Balsborough raised their shields one by one with instinct to move closer to Balsborough and the others.

Dozens of people instantly protected Balsborough in the middle.

As the earth shook, the roaring sound came, and several flowering bombs exploded around Balsborough and others, and one of the solid bullets grazed these people, and on the spot, I saw a 10,000 households being bombarded into minced meat by the shells, and the shells bounced endlessly, crushing all the way, directly causing dozens of Tatar soldiers to be killed and wounded.

After a wave of shelling, almost dozens of breaths, followed by another wave of shelling.

The gunners on the walls quickly loaded the shells and opened fire.

Although it is not fast, it is very stable, and each wave can cause hundreds of Tatar casualties.

After the first wave of artillery, the bombed and dusty Balsborough came out of the protection of the guards, and it was thanks to dozens of guards who protected him with flesh and blood, otherwise one of the flowering shells exploded a few feet away from him, and the iron flew wildly, killing and wounding more than a dozen guards on the spot.

If Balsborough had not been blocked by the personal shield, he would have been either injured or killed.

When he came to his senses, Balsborough only looked at the roar of dozens of cannons above the city, and his whole eyes couldn't help but show endless anger and roared: "Immortal Heaven is above, all the soldiers will kill me!" ”

It was good that the Tatars who were stunned by the bombing did not have a large-scale riot, and now I listened to the roar of Bars, and as the orders were conveyed, I saw those Tatar soldiers who were holding their breath frantically urging their horses to rush towards the city wall.

On the city wall, looking at the artillery achievements, the morale of the Ming soldiers was naturally high, and many people couldn't help cheering.

And the British Duke Zhang Mao, Han Kun and others also showed a little smile on their faces, and Cheng Xiangwu stroked his beard and laughed: "The artillery left by the chief manager has such power, but unfortunately it didn't kill the Tatar prince!" ”

As he spoke, he saw the Tatars below driving their horses straight towards the city wall like madmen, and judging by the posture, they actually wanted to attack the city.

Lu Dazhu smacked his lips, looked at the Tatars coming from the horse below with a dull expression, and couldn't help but show a stunned look and said: "Aren't these people crazy, they are cavalry, how to attack the city?" Is it possible that you still want to collapse the city wall with horses? ”

As he spoke, he saw the Tatars who were charging towards him draw their bows and arrows one by one, and they heard the sound of a roar coming from their ears, and a rain of arrows shot towards the city wall.

"It's not good, get out of the way!"

Without being reminded by Han Kun and others, the soldiers on the city wall instinctively hid behind the city wall while these Tatars below bent their bows and arrows.

A rain of arrows fell on the city wall, and there was a muffled snort, it was obvious that someone was still injured by the rain of arrows, but after all, there was a city wall as a shelter, and there were not many people who were really injured by the rain of arrows.

Cheng Xiangwu was dressed in armor, and the sword in his hand danced to block a rain of arrows shooting at him, and looked at the Tatar army that was charging below and couldn't help but shout: "Everyone is covered with a rain of arrows!" ”

Although the Tatar side said that they would attack with a rain of arrows, after all, they were covered by a city wall, so as a defender, the soldiers on the city wall should not worry too much about the rain of arrows.

But the Tatars below were different, and as Cheng Xiangwu gave an order, the impatient archers who had been waiting for a long time bent their bows and arrows to throw arrows outside the city.

There is no need to aim, it is enough to throw directly into the sky, and the black pressure under the city wall is overwhelming, and I dare not say that every arrow thrown down can hit a Tatar pawn, but the lethality cannot be underestimated at all.

Thousands of arrows covered an area, and almost instantly, at least hundreds of Tatars fell to the ground.

In the midst of the chaos, many Tatar soldiers who fell from their horses were trampled to death on the spot by the horses of their companions, even if they were not killed by arrows.

Even if they dodged one or two, but when the army charged, under the galloping of war horses, even the steppe people could not control the horses under them as they wanted, especially in the roar of the cannons, many horses had already been frightened, and they did not run around, which was already the Tatar soldier's skill in controlling horses.

The Tatars under the city frantically threw arrows, and at the same time, on the city wall, the Ming soldiers also shot arrows, and at the same time, many firearms began to wield.

Firearms such as firearms and swarms of bees broke out, and suddenly a pungent gunpowder smoke filled the city wall, and the smoke of gunpowder filled the nostrils.

Balsborough, who had already withdrawn for several miles, stood in the distance, watching the situation in front of the city wall, a team of 10,000 people was frantically attacking the city.

Of course, the Tatars were not fools, and it was obviously unrealistic to rely on cavalry to attack the city, and Balsborough did not think of relying on cavalry to break the city.

But Balsborough still ordered a team of 10,000 people to attack the city, and its purpose was very simple, that is, to test the ability of the Ming side to defend the city.

Looking at the smoke-filled city wall with a solemn expression, Balsborought's eyes were full of solemnity.

Whether a city is easy to attack, the most important thing is the spirit of the defenders, the city of Beijing is tall, the morale of the guards is high, especially the firearms are fierce, it can be said that a wave of temptation, Balsborough did not find any flaws in Beijing at all.

The commander of the 10,000-strong army watched his men fall under the city walls, either shot by arrows, killed by firearms, or bombarded by the endless barrage of artillery.

In half an hour, the Tatars had at least thousands of dead and wounded, and there was a wail under the walls.

Wanfu Dameng's green muscles burst out and said to Balsborot: "Your Highness, collect the troops, if it goes on like this, the clansmen are afraid that they will not be able to bear it!" ”

Balsborot glanced at Damon, nodded slightly, and suddenly a desolate trumpet sounded, and he saw that the Tatars were as if they had been amnestied, and quickly urged their horses to retreat.

In the blink of an eye, the Tatar soldiers who had been gathered under the city walls were completely evacuated, leaving only the dead and wounded all over the ground.

Even in the era when firearms completely replaced cold weapons, the soldiers who died directly on the battlefield were a minority, and most of them died because of serious injuries.

Today, there are about three or four thousand Tatar soldiers on the city walls, of which nearly two thousand died directly, and the rest are wounded.

The wounded were either light or severe, the most severe were dying, the light ones were not fatal with arrows, and many lightly wounded Tatar soldiers crawled out of the pile of dead, only to be greeted by arrows that killed them on the spot.

On the city wall, many people breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the Tatars retreat, and their faces showed joy.

I have to say that the entry of 100,000 Tatars into the army is a great pressure for everyone, even if these soldiers want to say that there is no pressure in their hearts, I am afraid that no one will believe it.

After all, the soldiers of the capital have never had the experience of fighting with the Tatars at all, and if they have no experience of fighting, they will naturally have no bottom in their hearts, and their hearts will be full and low.

However, in this fight, the original worries and everything disappeared all of a sudden.

The Tatars are just like this, relying on the city of Beijing, plus all kinds of sharp weapons to defend the city, just one wave caused thousands of Tatars to be killed and wounded, which can almost be regarded as a great victory.

Especially after the casualties of the defenders of the city were counted, only less than 100 people were accidentally wounded by Tatar arrows, which was insignificant compared to the hundreds of thousands of troops, and even less than the Tatars.

The British Duke stroked his beard and said with a little smile in his eyes: "Quickly send someone to report to Your Majesty!" ”

In the palace, even if he was sitting there playing chess with Wang Hua, Zhu Houzhao was restless.

Wang Hua is Zhu Houzhao's teacher in the East Palace, and the two have a friendship between master and apprentice, at this time, Wang Hua looked at Zhu Houzhao's restless appearance and couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, the monarch should be a man who will not ......change color when Mount Tai collapses."

Zhu Houzhao coughed lightly, and was about to speak, when he saw a brocade guard striding over with a happy face, and said from afar: "Good news, good news......

Zhu Houzhao suddenly got up when he heard this, where did he care about the imperial majesty, stared at the brocade guard with burning eyes and said, "Say it quickly!" ”

I only heard the brocade guard say: "Back to Your Majesty, the Tatar army is approaching the city, and the British generals have annihilated the Tatar army, killing thousands of enemies, and their own casualties are only 100 people......"

"Hahahaha! God bless me Daming, God bless me Daming! ”

Suddenly, hearing this good news, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help laughing.

Jiao Fang, Chen Ding, Wang Hua and others breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, and their faces also showed a relaxed look, and they all said to Zhu Houzhao: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to me!" ”

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but rejoice in his heart and said: "Spread my will, the soldiers in front, behead one enemy, reward fifty taels of silver, behead the Tatar elders, seal the uncle, behead the enemy chieftain, and seal the marquis!" For the dead and wounded, the wounded will be rewarded with 50 taels of silver, and the deceased will be compensated with 100 taels! Whoever defends my great wisdom will be rewarded without hesitation. ”

"Your Majesty Shengming, I am a great Ming country forever, for thousands of years!"

The Tatars are only 100,000 people, even if you count the 100,000 Tatar army led by Dayan Khan, the total is 200,000, according to Zhu Houzhao's reward, even if all the 200,000 Tatar troops who entered the Kou are killed, the court only needs to take out 10 million taels of silver.

Even if you add your own casualties and pensions, it is at most more than 10 million taels of silver, if you can really destroy the 200,000 elite army of Tatars in one battle, let alone more than 10 million taels, even if it is doubled, the Ming Dynasty will not hesitate at all.
