Chapter 432: Glowing Riverside City
Rwan's arrogant Abatai naturally had no time to look at it at this moment, at this moment he was drinking liquor in the military tent and tearing a large piece of mutton leg to eat, but his expression was a little unhappy, even a little annoyed, and he had the same look as the other people in the big tent!
"Lord Belle, there is a big deal about this matter, I asked many captives, and they have never seen a big bird like that!" Turge's expression is very solemn, since entering the customs, the road has been smooth, and the mood is also extremely happy, I didn't expect to encounter this strange thing today!
"Humph! Can a bird stop my army from riding iron? The Han people love to pretend to be ghosts, and it is simply a dream to resist my 100,000 army with the power of a big bird. "Abatai's face darkened!
"Does Lord Belle want to do it in the dark? I'm afraid it's inconvenient! "Turg is a little worried!
"What can be done, the Ming army is stationed in the city, and all they rely on now is a big bird, and the bird has to return to its nest after dark, hahaha!" Abatai didn't know why he laughed, maybe he thought he was humorous!
"Lord Belle, I am willing to lead the army to be a pioneer and wash the city of the river in blood!" At that moment, a young general stood up and saluted Abbatei! This made Turg's heart stir, because this person was his second son, Kobuso!
This unlucky child, Turg couldn't help but be angry, during the day, the bird not only threw down gunpowder bullets and muskets, but also killed people without blinking, but this kid didn't know whether to live or die to be outcropped! But he was angry, you must know that his eldest son had died in battle when he was on Phi Island, and the only seedling left was Kebusuo!
"Good! Tiger father has no dog! Cobusot, you're so good! Abatai looked at Kobuso's young face very happily, and threw a flask casually, "him, you are the pioneer tonight!" ”
"The humble duty lives up to the expectations of Lord Belle and sets foot in the city between the rivers!" Cobusou was full of arrogance and raised his head to drink.
"This is my good boy in the Qing Dynasty!" Abatai's appreciation of Kobusot quickly aroused the ambitions of the other generals, and they all stood up for battle. The scene was lively for a while!
At this moment, a personal soldier hurriedly ran in, muttered a few words, and the faces of everyone in the tent changed greatly, and Abatai threw the wine jug on the ground and hurried away!
What made Abatai so angry was naturally the gunpowder given by Lu Wang, Mahan and a personal guard holding a sniper rifle on the city wall condescendingly against the Qing army camp two miles away, almost no need to aim, and they could kill a lot of people by shooting at will!
At first, the Qing army apparently didn't figure out what was going on, and only thought there were assassins. As more and more soldiers were shot, they finally noticed the sparks that popped up from time to time at the head of the river, and someone was shooting cold shots in the city!
This news is absolutely appalling to the Qing army, two miles away, the Ming army's muskets can actually hit here! You must know that the Qing army has always been proud of their war horses, bows and arrows and brave soldiers, and they have always been a weakness for firearms until the Songjin Campaign, after Zu Dashou and others surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. They have firearms on the table!
But even after fighting with the Ming army for so many years, I have never eaten pork and seen pigs go, but I really haven't heard of a musket with a range of two miles! This news really affected the morale of the army, but it also gave Abatai a wake-up call. Be more vigilant about your own safety!
Listening to the faint sound of gunfire, and the sparks rising from the city, Abatai's face was as black as the bottom of the pot! "It's all pretending to be a ghost, and it's really unbearable for the army! Herald! Siege the city now. When the city is broken, there is not an inch of grass left! ”
Lu Wang drank the northwest wind in the tent in the city for more than two hours, and of course he was accompanied by Yan Yinshao, the prefect who never left him, even if Lu Wang was napping on the sofa chair in the corner. He also still sat by his side, from time to time he walked out of the tent and stood by the city wall looking at the Qing army camp at night, and occasionally looked at Ma Han who was shooting next to him with doubt: "Can this musket really shoot so far?" ”
"Meaningless, there is a guy in our pro-guard army who can hit a target four miles away!" Ma Han's face was showing, Yan Yinshao felt that he was bragging, but he just smiled and didn't answer!
"Hou Ye, Hou Ye, the Qing army is about to attack the city!" It was time for Lu Wang to sleep Zhengxiang was woken up by Yan Yinshao, wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and looked at his watch, "It's really calm enough, I tossed for more than two hours before I got angry, my temper is so good!" As he spoke, he walked to the battlements, looked at the fire that was getting closer and closer, and the sound of horses' hooves, and smiled slightly: "How many shots did Mahan take!" ”
"I'm almost more than 500 shots with Qiu Sanjia!" Mahan replied!
"After fighting so much, I'm not afraid of dying of exhaustion", Lu Wang joked, and then turned pale: "Don't shoot indiscriminately now, it's not good to kill the pawns, pick a few bosses to kill them, and it will save trouble if you can kill Abatai!" ”
When Lu Wang and Ma Han were ridiculing, Yan Yinshao was busy with the generals defending the city, and everyone was very nervous, after all, there were thousands of free people in the city, and at this moment, the fire dragons that came out of the Qing army camp outside the city were Chi Guoguo's provocation: I have a lot of people, I can fight!
The Qing army does have a lot of people, in addition to hundreds of thousands of regular combatants, they also have cannon fodder specially used to send death as stepping stones, yes, it is those innocent Ming people, who are now driven by them at the forefront of the team, pushing a few siege vehicles, which are specially used to break open the city gate!
Immediately afterwards, there were some siege ladders, without exception, which were also dragged by the captives, whose mission was to be used as a stepping stone, to be used as cannon fodder, to consume the firepower and energy of the Ming army, including psychological warfare!
And at this moment, Ma Han also discovered some situations: "Young master, I can't find the generals of the Qing army, how can they all look the same!" ”
"Huh! Is it", Lu Wang took out his night vision binoculars and looked down at the city, the black pressure was full of cavalry of the Qing army, and sure enough, after looking for most of the day, he found that there was really no special dress, and there was no difference in what he was wearing! "Nima, Abatai is a human spirit! As soon as I startled the snake over there, he drew inferences! Continue to observe, it will be impossible to be indistinguishable from the pawn after all, and it will always show its feet! After speaking, he walked towards Yan Yinshao and the others: "Lord Prefect, don't be so nervous, if you can't fight, come, listen to my arrangement......"
People are old and fine, Abatai has been fighting horses all his life, and the experience of no less than 100 battles has made him know how to protect his own safety, from the discovery that the cold guns of the Ming army can fight two miles away, he immediately ordered all soldiers to uniformly dress and not be afraid of death! And he and Turg also changed into ordinary soldiers' clothes and hid in the camp from afar, watching this upcoming good show!
The siege of the city was entrusted to Cobusau. Young is always warlike, like the feeling of stepping on the city, like challenges, like blood, but all the way into the customs is all some waste, before he raised his hand to spare or pull his legs to escape, this kind of opponent makes him really not interested, and now he finally encountered a hard stubble, he decided to conquer, he likes this process!
Abatai gave Cobusau 20,000 troops. The main attack from the west gate, with the assistance of thousands of captives and carts, to put it bluntly, is to wade through the rain of arrows in front, break the city gate, and support the siege ladder!
More than 20,000 horses rushed out of the barracks towards the city between the rivers, and Cobusau was hidden behind the army, a heavy armor looked no different from ordinary soldiers from the outside, only the resolute face looked very excited!
But as the army marched, his brow soon furrowed. Something felt wrong, and he wasn't the only one who felt it, even Abatai and Turg in the barracks felt something abnormal, that is, the city between the rivers was too dark. It's so quiet!
It was too dark on the city to see any torches, and the whole night was shrouded in darkness, and I couldn't see anything clearly. And it is very quiet and does not hear people's voices, and more importantly, in this case, as long as the army enters two hundred steps, there will be a rain of arrows immediately. But now the captives in front of them pushed the siege equipment into a hundred and fifty steps, and there was still no movement on the city, as if the city in front of them was still empty!
"Baylor, something is wrong!" Turg was a little worried about the safety of Cobussaeu, and his head was always sweating, but although Abatai was also a little confused, he was still very calm, "The Han people have a lot of ideas, is it possible to play their ancestors' empty city plan again, I'm sorry, where the army is, it's useless!" ”
Cobusso thought the same thing, at least he didn't intend to frighten himself with just a black city, so he ordered the soldiers to continue marching, and at this time the front door breaking car had already entered a hundred steps below the city, and the captives pushing the cart looked up at the dark city from time to time with fear on their faces, and prayed in their hearts that it was better to be an empty city!
On the dark city, Lu Wang looked very leisurely, standing beside Mahan with a telescope to check back and forth in the ranks of the Qing army from time to time, "Keep an eye on it, it is absolutely impossible for a general to be exactly the same as an ordinary soldier, at least when giving orders, flaws will be exposed!" ”
"I know, young master, but now I can't look carefully in the dark sky, there are so many people below and torches, and my eyes are going to be spent!" Ma Han held the sniper, squinted his eyes and carefully searched the Qing army team under the city from the scope in the hope of finding a big fish, but it was not such a simple thing, the torches in the night vision goggles were very dazzling!
"Don't worry, just try your luck and fight for your character!" Lu Wang smiled slightly, and then glanced back at Yan Yinshao next to him: "Governor Yan is looking at you next, remember not to be nervous, just do what I told you before, you command here, I will go to the Qing army camp and give them some medicine", he waved his hand to the more than ten guards next to him: "Get on the plane!" ”
The Qing soldiers and horses have already entered within two hundred steps, and the prisoners at the front have also approached the city wall fifty paces, and there is still no movement on the city.
"The general has an order, siege the city! Sons, step flat...... ......The herald's voice stopped abruptly because the scene in front of him made it difficult for him to look at it directly, and many people began to retreat in horror, and the captives at the front began to run frantically.
Thousands of pillars of light suddenly shone from the city at the moment of Cobusau's order, and in an instant, the entire Hejian City seemed to become a luminous body, a city with thousands of pillars of light flashing, and the pillars of light illuminated the Qing soldiers under the city at a glance, and everyone was surprised and panicked on their faces!
This, this, what's going on, the cavalry of the Qing army began to be restless, the war horses couldn't stand the light shining on their eyes, and began to bounce on their hooves, and the soldiers were shocked by these never-before-seen pictures, and looked back one by one.
Cobusau also had a big mouth, and for a while he didn't know how to be stunned in the local area, or a general beside him reminded him, so immediately a personal soldier went straight to the rear camp!
Such a strange picture naturally surprised Abatai in the camp, and there was a rare look of panic on his face, and his brows began to wrinkle: "What is the legend of this Rivercity city?" ”
"I haven't heard of this, but I know that Hejian is an ancient city with a long history, and as for what legends I haven't heard, what did Baylor think?" Turg said quickly!
Abatai bowed his head and was silent, walking back and forth, raising his head for a long time: "Could it be that there is also a divine magpie moat in the river?" ”
Turg gasped when he heard this, he understood what the so-called divine magpie that Abatai was talking about, in fact, it was the crow of later generations, and the Manchu Qing had a pious respect for the crow, after all, the history of their Qing Dynasty began with a crow......
Because there are too many legends related to crows, and these legends are often related to a certain war that can change history, so the Manchus also say that the crows are black magpies, divine magpies, with awe and piety in their bones! And the big bird that appeared in Riverland today, and the city that will now glow, made him entangled, and the legend came true?
However, after all, the magpie is a legend of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and now it is in the realm of the Ming Dynasty, so you can not care about it so much: "Even if it is the guardian bird of the Ming Dynasty, it is still roasted and eaten, the Han people already believe in all kinds of gods and ghosts, but when did they see it to protect their people!" ”
But then again, no matter what race people are in awe of the gods, Abatai's words are beautiful, but they are not without worries, people in this era have a unified high degree of awe for ghosts and gods, and some are not afraid because they have not seen it, but at this moment, when some living visions are placed in front of you, psychologically it is a feeling, not afraid, it is fake!
"Anyway, you have to try, the order to make Kobusau ...... immediately" There was a loud bang, as if in response to Abatai, and just as he was about to give Kobusau the order, there was an explosion under the city, and the flames soared into the sky, and the screams were heard in the distance! At the same time, a personal soldier beside him couldn't help but exclaim: "Lord Belle, look! ”
Abatai was already startled by the sound of the explosion just now, because he could hardly see such a powerful explosive outside the pass, but it was more powerful than the artillery of the Ming army, and then he heard the words of his own soldiers, looked up, and sure enough, he saw a huge pillar of light above Hejian City slowly flying over, although he couldn't see what it was, but the roaring sound was no different from the big bird during the day!
"Defend, take it down with a crossbow!" Abatai was shocked, he didn't notice it during the day, but now he knew that the eyes of the big bird would glow, and it would be clear at a glance where he passed, if he saw his figure...... Thinking about hurrying to find a place to hide with Turg and the others!
"Baylor, do you think the glowing ones in the city are all birds?" A sentence that suddenly appeared behind Turg and Abatai made the listeners feel creepy: Bird son and bird grandson!! (To be continued......)
