Chapter 268

Arrows from below can only be thrown up, the strength and accuracy are quite insufficient, many arrows fly up diagonally but cross the peak and fall to the other side, but Rao is so, thousands of feather arrows shot up still a small half hit the peak area. The tip of the arrow clanged at the stone bunker and the tarpaulin overhead, and the tarpaulin above the fortification was pierced by dozens of arrows, but fortunately the gravel on it counteracted some of the force, so that it would not be able to shoot down through the tarpaulin and injure those who were dodging below.

Song Nan hugged Dai Su'er and Zhu Xiufu tightly to his chest one by one, his eyes were dusted and he couldn't open his eyes, and he only heard the swishing sound of feather arrows and the sound of tuks hitting the stones, time seemed to freeze, the Tartar soldiers only shot seven or eight rounds, but it was tea time, but in Song Nan and the others, it seemed that a long few hours had passed.

The sound of arrows breaking through the air gradually became less, Song Nan raised his head and looked out from the gap in the stones, and saw that the arrows that fell on the peak had been sparsely scattered, and the Tartar had stopped shooting, so he hurriedly got up and asked loudly: "Is the emperor okay?" ”

Liu Jin's hoarse voice sounded in the back: "The emperor is fine." ”

Song Nan breathed a sigh of relief, after all, the arrows were too dense, even if Zhengde and Liu Jin were hiding in the best cover, Zhengde was also wearing a bearskin shoulder made of Dai Su'er, but he couldn't help but worry.

"Are any of the brothers hurt?" Song Nan got out of cover and asked loudly.

Wan Zhi spat out the dust in his mouth and rushed to Song Nan's side and said, "There is a brother who was hit by an arrow, but it is not the key point. ”

Song Nan nodded, looked around, saw that everyone was looking at him with blank eyes, turned around and saw Liu Jin and Zhengde shrinking in a corner, and saw Liu Jin wearing a bear skin shoulder at a glance, he was immediately furious, and stepped forward to pull three and two handfuls.

Liu Jin struggled and said, "What are you doing, what are you doing?" ”

Song Nan scolded: "It's embarrassing to lose you." ”

Liu Jin shouted: "I want to protect the emperor and wear it to block arrows for the emperor." ”

Song Nan said while pulling off his bear skin shoulder: "The emperor is very safe, I can't help you block any arrows." ”

Liu Jin said: "You are just trying to live for yourself." ”

Song Nan sneered and didn't answer, took off the bearskin vest and threw it in front of Dai Su'er, and ordered, "Put it on." ”

Dai Su'er said in a low voice: "No need to ....... ”

Song Nan said undoubtedly: "Put it on, don't let me say it a second time." ”

Dai Su'er slowly put on the vest and squeezed together with the princess, who was also wearing a bearskin vest.

Liu Jin screamed: "Song Nan, is my life not as good as a lowly maidservant?" ”

Song Nan didn't bother to pay attention to him, got up and glanced around, and commanded in a low voice: "Don't make a noise, the Tartar soldiers will definitely check if we are still alive, and then they will send someone to climb up to check, let's surprise them." ”

Wan Zhi nodded and said, "Understood, everyone get ready." ”

Everyone slowly crawled to the edge of the peak full of arrows and dust, listened carefully to the movement below, and heard the sound of soldiers coming home and rubbing the mountain rocks from the mountain wall, obviously the Tartar soldiers were struggling to climb to the top, Song Nan made a gesture of patience, and everyone lay quietly on the ground, their eyes staring at the edge of the peak.

Of course, Song Nan did not allow the Tartars to reach the top, and when he heard the voice, he estimated that the Tartars were not far from the peak, and immediately shouted loudly: "Brothers, serve them to eat iron eggs." ”

Everyone roared, quickly got up, more than 20 double-barreled shotgun fire guns were all shown, condescending to the top of the Tartar soldiers who were climbing up all around, the Tartar soldiers were climbing out of breath, suddenly heard the movement, when they looked up, the mouth of the black hole hole was aimed at their heads, and they were suddenly frightened, they all knew how powerful this thing was in the hands of the Ming army, the two Tartars had weak hands and feet, and they didn't even wait for Song Nan to give the order to fire and tumble and fall down.

"Boom, boom."

"Boom, boom."

The roar of the shotgun resounded at the summit, and the green smoke drifted northward with the pungent smell of sulfur gunpowder, like a green cloud rising from the peak; Bald looked at the soldiers who fell around the rock wall in amazement, he couldn't understand why such a dense rain of arrows had not been able to shoot them all to death, according to his imagination, there were only one or two survivors left on the peak, and the rest should have been shot like hedgehogs.

Puffy puffy!

The Tartar soldiers who were bombarded fell to the ground, as if a skin bag full of blood was thrown from a high altitude, and the blood plasma and minced flesh splashed in a radial shape, and the Tartar soldiers looked at the scene in front of them with their mouths open, and many of them were hot in the crotch of their pants, and they were incontinent unconsciously.

Bald Meng began to regret it, he didn't regret leading the army to arrest the little emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he regretted that the army was too hasty, in order to intercept the Ming Emperor's car at the right time, he chose to travel lightly, abandoning large siege equipment and firearms, at that time thought that these things were useless.

Now that I think about it, if I had brought the three bronze cannons in Ulaanbaatar, I would have razed this beacon tower to the ground a long time ago, even if I brought dozens of ladder trucks to come, I could easily take the beacon tower; Now the situation is embarrassing, being dragged here for six days, paying the lives of six or seven hundred soldiers, and still can't take this barren hill, I am really angry and vomiting blood.

"Great Khan, the army of the king of Jin in the west and the governor of Arislan in the east has sent a message from the Harrier Eagle, last night the Ming army launched a large-scale counterattack, and part of the walled forts of our raided hands of Pingyuwei and Wanquanwei have been lost, so that the Ming army on both wings has freed up their hands, and I am afraid that reinforcements will come soon, and we may not be able to delay here." A general in charge of ten thousand households hurried to report in a low voice.

Bald and fierce Ke Tie blushed and shouted, "What are you panicking about? How can the Ming troops on the left and right flanks arrive without seven or eight days of reinforcements? There are high mountains on both sides, and Ben Khan wishes that they would send reinforcements from the broken and narrow plank road, so that we can kill them without leaving a single piece of armor, and if they are not fools, they will only choose to take a detour to come from the open valley in the south to reinforce them, so we still have time. ”

The general in charge of the ten thousand households nodded and said, "What the Great Khan said is extremely true, but it is not a way to spend so much here. ”

Bald Meng Ke said: "No matter what, I must take this beacon tower, pass my order, prepare the rocket, Ben Khan will turn the peak into a sea of fire, that is, the little emperor of the Ming Dynasty will become a mass of charcoal, and he will drag his charred body back to Ulaanbaatar." ”

The general of the ten thousand households stroked his chest and bowed: "According to the order of the Great Khan, I also have a Jianyì." ”

Bald Meng Ke frowned and said, "Say." ”

"Chen Jian yì used the rocket as a cover, and the rocket suppressed at the same time and ordered the soldiers to take the opportunity to climb, after a few rounds of arrow rain suppression, our soldiers suddenly reached the top, how can they resist?"

Bald Meng nodded and said: "This method is good, but the arrow has no eyes, and I am afraid that I will accidentally injure my soldiers." ”

General Nawanhu said: "No, shoot head-on, climb in the north, there is a cliff to block, and it will never hurt the soldiers, but the south wind is too strong today, so you can only shoot from the southeast, otherwise the rocket will not be able to shoot up, and the cliff in the north is too steep to climb." ”

Bald and fierce: "Chisel the wall to climb, what are you afraid of if you are slow?" It is necessary to board it. ”

"Yes."

……

Three days ago, in Yangyuan, fifty miles north of Fort Black Mountain, Ulzhou, a big battle was also being staged.

After receiving Song Nan's letter for help, Jiang Bin, the commander of the Ulzhou Guard, quickly gathered all the troops and horses of the Ulzhou Guard and marched north, and at the same time, sent more than a dozen fast horses to the capital, Datong, Xuanfu and other places to pass on the news that the emperor was trapped in Xinpingbao.

Jiang Bin led 6,000 Ulzhou guard infantry to Yangyuan non-stop, and the first thing to solve was the Tartars of Yangyuan, where more than 800 Tartar cavalry were stationed, and it was the bridgehead fortress where the Tartars harassed Ulzhou; Jiang Bin almost did not have any arrangement and planning, six thousand soldiers and horses flocked into the valley plain with great fanfare to fight face to face with the Tartars, although he knew that the price to be paid would be very large, but Jiang Bin had no time to think about these anymore, the emperor and Song Nan were trapped in Xinping Fort for several days and life and death were uncertain, how could he still make an offensive strategy in a good time.

In the face of seven or eight times the Ming army's horse infantry, the 800 cavalry of the Tartars gave full play to their mobility and cavalry shooting ability, and launched a round of surprise attacks at the beginning of the Ming army's entry into the valley, and the soldiers of the Ulzhou Weibei Qianhu Institute who served as the vanguard team were scattered, and the Qianhu Ma Ming was almost killed by random arrows.

But the number of the Ming army is too much, with the influx of follow-up troops, the advantage of numbers is quickly reflected, Jiang Bin personally assembled three hundred cavalry to step on the corpse of the Ming army to break through, after entangled hundreds of Tartar cavalry, the infantry poured into the wolf valley like a tide, looking at the black pressure surging Ming army, the Tartar soldiers had to rely on the mobility of their mounts and fight and go.

Jiang Bin's intention was to advance northward, not to fight with these hundreds of Tartar soldiers, who fought while fleeing, although some of them were as tiresome as fleas, but their purpose was achieved.

The army waved its army to the north, in view of the reminder in Song Nan's letter, Jiang Bin did not dare to advance too much, Song Nan's letter said that there were 20,000 soldiers and horses in the Tartars, and his five or six thousand soldiers and horses were by no means opponents. Although the action is slow, it has to be done.

Two days later, in the valley less than thirty miles away from Xinping Fort, Jiang Bin ordered to set up camp, he could not advance any further, the scouts had already brought news, thirty miles away Xinping Fort was stationed around dense Tartar soldiers and horses, Yangyuan retreating Tartar soldiers must have reported the arrival of Ming reinforcements to the Tartar brigade, and then the Tartar soldiers were highly mobile and launched a brazen attack, and their own infantry-based forces did not have the slightest room for maneuver.

In the evening, while ordering the soldiers to dig fortifications to prevent the cavalry raid, Jiang Bin personally climbed a high mountain peak on the east side of the valley to look north, but saw that the valley in the north was densely packed with Tartar tents, and under the setting sun, the white light reflected by the tents and the reflection of the blades were dazzling, and the formation was really terrifying. Obviously, Song Nan's letter is not a lie, and a rough estimate shows that there are indeed tens of thousands of soldiers and horses stationed.

At the same time, Jiang Bin was also a little relieved in his heart, since the Tartar soldiers and horses were still stationed there, it showed that the emperor had not fallen into the hands of the Tartars, otherwise the Tartar soldiers would have escaped. Realizing this, Jiang Bin was also very surprised, how could the little men and horses driven by the emperor be able to resist the attack of the Tartar army for several days? Even if he has some understanding of Song Nan's ability and believes that he has always made amazing moves, this time Jiang Bin does not believe that Song Nan can control this situation, but can only attribute it to the Emperor of Heaven blessing the Great Ming.
