Behind the camp of the Ming army, Chen Huai ran in front of Zhu Qizhen shirtless.

"Your Majesty, can this thing work?"

Zhu Qizhen was busy issuing orders, and when he saw him coming, he immediately said: "The Qing family came just in time, organize more people, and build five more kilns before sunset!" ”

"But, the emperor ......"

Chen Huai originally came to ask for war, and he wanted to say that I am a Pingxiang uncle, I am here to fight, not to build a kiln!

Zhu Qizhen said with a straight face: "Chen Qingjia, the task I gave you is very important, and the success or failure of this battle depends on you!" ”

Hearing this, Chen Huai suddenly felt that he had a heavy responsibility, and hurriedly saluted: "The old minister obeys the order!" ”

After finishing speaking, he excitedly beckoned people to build a kiln.

On the battlefield ahead, Boyan led 20,000 cavalry to cross the river, and at this time it was less than 200 steps away from the Ming army's position.

The front probe Malay reported: "General, the position of the Ming army is beginning to shrink!" ”

Hearing this, Boyan didn't hesitate anymore and shouted: "Charge!" ”

The cavalry behind them received the order and immediately began to pick up speed, shouting and swarming up.

At the same time, the Ming army's position finally moved.

The rattan players in the front row were still standing, and the trebuchets behind them crunched, as the Ming army was pulling the ropes hard.

Chen Ying slowly raised the knife in his hand and shouted, "Release!" ”

I saw huge felt cloth packages thrown out of the trebuchet and smashed into the oncoming Varat cavalry.

When Boyan saw something flying over from the Ming army's position, he immediately shouted: "Pay attention to dodge!" ”

These cavalrymen were highly skilled, and they all made dodging movements on horseback, but when they saw the large package that was getting closer and closer, they couldn't help but have doubts in their eyes.

What is it?

Behind Boyan, a centurion said, "General, it doesn't seem to be a stone?" ”

Then, everyone watched as a large bag smashed to the ground, shattered with a pop, and smoke and dust rose everywhere.

In fact, Zhu Qizhen ordered people to build a trebuchet overnight, and what was thrown was not stone, but lime.

To be exact, it should be called a lime smoke bomb.

The rocks here are mostly limestone, after calcination, quicklime can be formed, the chemical conditions of this thing are very active, when exposed to water heat, the performance is comparable to black powder.

It's just that the current conditions of the Ming army are very limited and they can't make complex lime bombs, so Zhu Qizhen ordered the felt cloth for setting up the tent to be cut, wrapped the burned lime powder in it, and then thrown out.

If you want to calcine high-purity lime in a makeshift kiln like this, it will take at least three to five days, and it will be hastily baked within one day, and it will be considered a semi-finished product at most.

However, this is not a chemical industry, but a weapon, although it is not of high purity, it is still effective against people and horses.

At first, the Warats thought it was ordinary smoke and dust, but they immediately felt that something was wrong.

Whether it is a cavalry or a war horse, under the shroud of lime powder, the eyes are full of tears, and some people subconsciously rub them with their hands, but the more they rub them, the more uncomfortable they become.

On the position of the Ming army, fifty trebuchets cycled back and forth, lime bombs were smashed one after another, the battlefield was filled with smoke and dust, and the air was full of lime powder.

Where had the people of Warat seen this kind of black technology, everyone covered their mouths and noses, coughed loudly, tears flowed profusely, and their eyes had a strong burning sensation.

The situation of the horses was even worse, and they panicked and ran like flies without their heads.

In the Warat battalion, he was still preparing his men and horses, but he saw that the front was in chaos.

He knew in his heart that the people Boyan brought out were all well-trained elite cavalry, and there were often sandstorms in Mobei, these people had long been accustomed to it, and it was impossible for them to react like this.

There is a problem with these smoke and dust, it must be the ghost of the Ming army!

Thinking of this, he didn't hesitate to hurry up and hurriedly withdraw his troops.

Hearing the signal of the Warat people to withdraw their troops, where was the Ming army willing to let go.

Zhang Fu took the lead and shouted: "Five military camps, attack!" ”

The rattan players retreated one after another, and the Ming army rushed like a tide into the enemy formation.

The Warats had no intention of fighting, and hurriedly evacuated, leaving behind corpses.

The Ming army did not pursue deeply, after all, the lime powder in the sky had not yet dissipated.

"The emperor is mighty, the emperor is mighty!"

In the camp, the soldiers saw that Warat was defeated and fled, and involuntarily gathered around Zhu Qizhen, shouting excitedly.

In the hearts of all the soldiers, this young man is simply the god of war.

When the army was trapped in the civil fort and the soldiers lacked water, and it was the emperor who stepped forward and led the army to raid the Arazhiyuan and regain the advantage.

In the face of the charge of the Warat cavalry, the emperor relied on various whimsical ideas to defend wave after wave of offensives.

The gunpowder ran out, the soldiers were panicked, or the emperor, relying on black technology, once again disintegrated the enemy's attack.

Throughout the ages, the so-called god of war is nothing more than that!

Seeing that the soldiers were elated, Zhu Qizhen also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and ordered: "The men and horses of each battalion take turns to rest, Chen Huai, don't stop, continue to burn lime!" ”

"Yes!"

Now Chen Huai has completely incarnated as the captain of the construction team, and his daily task is to dig a pit and fire a kiln.

"Chen Ying, Chen Ying!"

"Your Majesty, the minister is here!"

Chen Ying trotted all the way to the front, panting and said: "Your Majesty, just after the first battle, the trebuchet broke thirteen, and the minister is arranging someone to repair it!" ”

Zhu Qizhen knew in his heart that this thing was assembled temporarily after all, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was shoddy, and it was normal to have damage, but he didn't expect it to be so bad.

If the Warats hold on for a while, they will all fall apart.

"If it can be repaired, repair it as soon as possible, and send it to the kiln if it can't be repaired, and organize some people to cut down wood nearby, and then assemble dozens of them, so as to ensure that there is enough backup when the next battle comes!"

"Obey the order!"

Chen Ying turned around to make arrangements, and saw Yuan Bin coming in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, Juyong Guan's general Langzhong Luotong sent a fast horse to send a report, please take a look at it!"

Zhu Qizhen stretched out his hand to take it, opened it and looked at it twice, which roughly means that Luo Tong had received Kuang Yu and others, and learned that the emperor had not escaped the danger, so he brought people and horses to answer, and he was already on the road at this time.

There are only a few hundred soldiers guarding the pass, but there are tens of thousands of battles here, and in this case, Luo Tong can actually personally bring troops to respond, which is enough to show the loyalty and courage of this person.

Speaking of which, the Ming Dynasty has never lacked talents, and the changes in the history of the civil fort perfectly interpret the sentence, if you don't die, you won't die!

But if you change the commander with a normal brain, no matter how you let yourself go, it is impossible to play a good hand of cards to a pulp.

Even if you don't know how to fight at all, if you hand over the command to Zhang Fu, and you lie in the tent and sleep every day, it is impossible to achieve this result.
