"Hold that street and don't let the Mongols rush in." Sun Xing pointed to the intersection ahead, from where the Mongol soldiers were pouring into the city.

"Stop deceiving people, the big marshal won't come to save us at all." The company commander roared and rushed forward with the remnants he had just withdrawn.

When the battle comes to this point, there is no order at all. Bayonet to bayonet, broadsword to machete. Chop down one, and another pops up from behind. Killing and being killed is a matter of an instant, one second you just cut off someone's head, the next second your head will appear on the ground.

"The handsome will come to our rescue! The handsome will come. Sun Xing muttered mechanically, and the rifle in his hand shot again and again, knocking over the Mongolian soldiers who rushed in.

No one believed Sun Xing's words, and everyone knew that Yinchuan City would be breached today. There were a few guys who knelt on the ground and surrendered, and the red-eyed Mongols who were killed and slashed to the ground with a knife.

Arabutan said that he would kill all the life here, including a chicken and a dog. Make this a place of death and pay tribute to the dead Mongol warriors.

Sun Yuanhua stood on the tower and watched the Ming soldiers being killed one by one. Farther away, a large number of Mongolian cavalry frantically galloped towards Yinchuan City. Today, the fall of Yinchuan City is inevitable!

"It's over! It's all over! Sun Yuanhua closed his eyes, and he still wanted the integrity of the scholar. Maybe after thousands of years of history books, he also has a name like Wen Tianxiang.

"Look, Lord Prefect!" Just as he was about to jump, Chang Sui next to him suddenly pointed to the distance and roared loudly.

Sun Yuanhua opened his eyes, and he saw more than a dozen black dots in the air in the distance.

What's that? Eagle? Absolutely impossible, this thing is about the size of thousands of eagles.

"What is that?" Attracted by Ker's scream, Gerdan looked in the direction of his finger.

"It's over!" One glance at the sky made Dolgon's heart cold. The feeling of his heart falling almost made him fall off the horse.

They were relatively close, and they could clearly see a huge thing flying in the air in the distance. They didn't know what to call that thing, they all had round throats, and their bodies were bigger than the towers of Yinchuan City.

"Collect the troops! Now that you are collecting troops and leaving, you can lose less. Dorgon said lightly, and beckoned his men to begin to pack their things.

"What the hell?" Gerdan yelled.

"Li Xiao is here!" Dorgon mounted his horse and galloped into the depths of the steppe without looking back.

"Li Xiao? He's an immortal? Geldan didn't understand what was so terrible even if Li Xiao came. There are tens of thousands of Mongolian soldiers on his side, and the things on his head are only a dozen or twenty.

Soon Gerdan heard a deafening roar, and the war horse under his crotch involuntarily neighed. Because the halter was caught, he could only keep spinning around on the ground. It could be seen that it was tempted to leave this place and flee to a distant land.

Dolgon's party was already on their way, and they even abandoned their yurts in order to escape.

"This thing is that scary?" Gardan was puzzled.

When the first bomb, weighing thousands of pounds, landed in the group of charging cavalry, Gerdan immediately stopped wondering.

The bomb was thrown on the ground, killing five Mongol soldiers directly. Then, the whole ground was lifted violently. The earthy earth and gunpowder smoke in the sky, accompanied by white air waves and shock waves, spread rapidly in the center of the explosion. In the process of diffusion, the shock wave swallowed everything.

Fifty meters away from the bombing site, both men and horses spat blood and fell to the ground. They were not blown up, but shocked to death. As for the ground within 50 meters, there is basically no grass growing at all. This power is even more powerful than heavy rockets.

"Blow the trumpet, retreat!" Gerdan didn't think about it, and immediately slipped away with the guards. The speed of the Mercedes was even three points faster than that of Dorgon.

Sun Zhijie looked at the gunpowder smoke rising into the sky under his feet, and kept giving orders to release. Each bomb weighed 1,200 pounds, and a total of ten of them were carried on such a bomb airship.

Whenever he flew over the cavalry group, Sun Zhijie would order one to be dropped. Then, a huge explosion engulfs everything.

The Mongols went crazy, they didn't understand how such a thing could appear in the sky. Some of them simply jumped off their horses and bowed to the heavens, hoping that in doing so, the immortal heavens would let them go. Some of them are agitated, so they immediately turn around and pat their horses and leave.

"Airship!" Sun Xing's eyes widened, and his eyes were full of brilliance.

"The handsome man has come to save us! The handsome man has come to our rescue! Sun Xing jumped and jumped, happy like a child.

The airship began to throw bombs like plowing the ground, and Li Xiao told the bombardier that this was called carpet bombing. One after another, the bombs that were dropped exploded, and the Mongol soldiers below were engulfed in smoke one after another. The people on the airship could even see that fragments of human limbs were constantly being thrown into the air by the air waves in the smoke of gunpowder.

In this unobstructed steppe, the Mongol cavalry had nowhere to hide and store. I could only watch as the monsters in the sky flew over, dropping bombs and destroying everything.

Soon there were airships that finished dropping bombs, and they began to reduce their altitude. The machine guns under the pod strafe the cavalry on the ground!

Although the rate of fire of 180 rounds per minute was somewhat slow, the Mongol cavalry was beaten to the ground.

Patches of Mongol soldiers fell to the ground on the grass, and the Mongol soldiers, who had just been shouting frantically, were now all wailing in pain or fleeing in all directions. No one thought of attacking Yinchuan City, or slashing and killing in Yinchuan City, they only had one belief in their minds.

Come on! The farther away from this place, the better!

"Long live the handsome! Long live the handsome! I don't know who shouted the first sentence, and then the entire Yinchuan City was shouting.

Sun Xing picked up the rifle with the bayonet and stood up and shouted loudly: "Dashuai has come to save us, everyone follow me." Slaughter these Mongolian offcs! Kill! ”

The leader took the lead in the charge, and the minions naturally followed closely. A group of people with rifles rushed at the Mongols like madmen.

The Mongol soldiers, who were fierce just now, have now become lost dogs. They only had to flee for their lives in their hearts, how could they still have the heart to fight the Ming army. Seeing the crazy Ming army rushing over, one of them took the lead in running, and the back door followed, and each ran faster than the other.

The lap legs, which have been trained by horseback riding for a long time, look very funny when running, but they can't run fast.

As long as the Ming army catches up, it is a bayonet to the back. Those who run farther become the target of shooting. This is not a fight, but a one-sided slaughter.

The Mongol soldiers who entered Yinchuan City were completely killed in just twenty minutes.

The gunfire gradually stopped, and someone sat on the ground gasping for air. Some hugged and cheered excitedly, while others walked around with guns, not knowing what they wanted to do.

There was a wail just now, and everyone thought it was the last day of their lives.

The airship landed, and when Sun Zhijie stepped off the airship, he was cheered like a hero.

"Sun Zhijie! Haha, why are you kid running to drive this thing. When the old classmates met, Sun Xing rushed over excitedly to hug.

"Okay, Sun Xing, this Yinchuan City has been beaten like this, your life is hard enough." Sun Zhijie gave Sun Xing a punch in the chest.

When I was in the military school, I used to jokes, you give me a punch and I will give you a kick, and it is normal for teenagers to fight and make trouble.

"Daddy! This is Sun Shoufu's grandson, Sun Zhijie, my classmate at the Military Academy. Seeing his father, Sun Xing hurriedly introduced Sun Yuanhua.

"Hello Prefect." Sun Zhijie stood up straight and saluted Sun Yuanhua.

"It turned out to be Sun Shoufu's grandson, no wonder! No wonder! Sun Yuanhua smiled from ear to ear. Just now he was thinking about jumping off the tower to commit suicide, and now he has a feeling of being a human being in two lives.

"Lord Qiqi, the marshal has led the four divisions north. Please also ask the prefect to hold on for a few more days, and the soldiers and horses of the four divisions will reach Yinchuan. At that time, even if it is a 100,000-strong Mongolian army, it will not be in the eyes of our army. ”

"Thank you! Thanks a lot! On behalf of Sun Yuanhua, I have thanked the marshal, and I will do my best to defend Yinchuan. Don't let the Mongol Tartars invade an inch of my Ming land. Sun Yuanhua looked righteous and awe-inspiring, but in fact, all the Mongolian soldiers ran away. It is no longer possible to gather again and launch the kind of attack that you just had. With morale alone, the imposing Ming army can completely destroy the opponent.

Sometimes morale is still very important.

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

"The airship flew back?" Li Xiao heard the roar outside and asked casually.

"Came back without any losses. A company was transported to Yinchuan City in advance, and a battalion could be transported over tomorrow without hanging bombs. As long as our fourth division passes a battalion, it will be impossible for the Mongols to enter Yinchuan City. Dashuai, you want to stay in Xi'an, there is no need to make such a trip. "Zu Dashou is very confident in his subordinates.

"I heard that the Mongols used a lot of firearms, so I had to take a good look. Tomorrow, I will take the airship to Yinchuan to see what it looks like. Li Xiao threw down the pencil in his hand and looked away from the map.

"It's not going to work! Marshal, when you came, Lord Shoufu specially explained that the airship is not safe, and you must not take it. You just do it, don't make it difficult for the lower officials. "I heard that Li Xiao was going to take an airship, and Zu Dashou was very angry.

Don't dare to let this master sit on this thing, in case something happens, his head will definitely not be able to bear it.

"Hey......!" Li Xiao sighed, when he left the capital, Sun Chengzong made three chapters with him, and the first one was that Li Xiao was not allowed to take the airship.

After all, this thing is a new thing, and from time to time it will be temporarily landed in an accident during a test flight. If Li Xiao's airship landed temporarily due to mechanical problems and was found by the Mongols, it would be a big problem.

Seeing that Li Xiao didn't speak, Zu Dashou hurriedly changed the topic.

"Shuai, this airship is really not bad. Xi'an is 1,500 miles away from Yinchuan, and this thing can fly back and forth in a day. If you go back and allocate a few ships, this northwest is guaranteed to be impregnable for you. The Mongols can go one step further, and you cut off the head of my ancestor Dashou. ”

"Huh! Scold! How many are you going to have? You're thinking about beauty!

I drilled a hole in Sichuan to get some oil out, and this time I got it all in. Besides, there are often sandstorms in the northwest, and the sky is still clear just now. When a sandstorm comes, it's called flying sand and rocks.

Don't look at the airship looks quite big, but it's actually very fragile. In the event of a sandstorm, it will definitely crash. There are also gasoline engines that are also unstable now, and there are always mechanical failures of one kind or another. All of this will take time to test, and this time it's a risky trip, and you won't be thinking about it in three or two years. Li Xiao shook his head helplessly, in the final analysis, the technology of the airship is still immature.

Today's airships can only fly up to 90 kilometers per hour. The load is not small, and the huge hull can carry a weight of 18,000 catties, which is converted to nine tons. That kind of super-large model, one bomb weighing 1,200 pounds, can carry 10 bombs. It can also carry a 30-barrel machine gun and tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition.

If it is used to transport troops, there is also equipment for transporting two infantry platoons at once.

Originally, the northwest was a vast area, and the distance between cities was too far. Airships are an absolute good, alas! Without perfect weather forecasting and communication support, there is no way to deploy it for the time being.

Knocked away by airships, the Mongols never harassed the city of Yinchuan again.

After Sun Yuanhua waited tremblingly for a few days, he finally waited for the Fourth Division, which was well-organized and strong.

Li Xiao saw that the city wall was so badly damaged, and then looked at the huge bomb crater on the ground and the collapsed city tower. There are also shocking craters on the city walls. also gasped, he didn't expect that just one garrison could hold this Yinchuan City for half a month.

"The artillery of the Mongols is fierce?" Li Xiao pointed to the collapsed city tower and asked Sun Xing.

"Returning to the handsome! It's also a matter of luck that the city gate has been sealed. Unexpectedly, the Mongols had a long-barreled cannon. This cannon has a long and accurate range, and its power is also extremely powerful. With only a few cannons, the city gates were blasted open.

He was about to lead his men to defend to the death, but he didn't expect the Mongols' artillery fire to be too fierce. The city gate tower was blown up, and the ruins collapsed the city gate. The Mongol soldiers who rushed in were buried alive inside!

If you can't guard the city gate that day, I'm afraid Yinchuan City can only hold it for two days. ”

"It's really dangerous!" Li Xiao nodded. One can imagine how urgent the situation was at that time. If you really let the Mongol cavalry rush in through the city gates, it will be a fart.

"This time the Mongols had a lot of firepower, and not only the artillery was sharp. The musket is also powerful, you look at this rifle. It can press five rounds, and all of them are fixed ammunition. The bullets are thicker than ours and have a longer range than ours. It's just that the accuracy doesn't seem to be as strong as the big eight!

When the siege began, the Mongol soldiers were armed with these guns. It was only later that the Mongol soldiers replaced the guy with a flintlock musket. It is estimated that this kind of gun is only equipped with elite troops among the Mongols. ”
