for the horses of the kingdom of the court were heavy on them, and they were not forgotten.

Originally, they were holding the last stubbornness to die for themselves and for the country.

But they found that the court was not what they thought, so now the mood of these people has also improved greatly.

But when they heard the familiar Mongol cowhide war drums.

Eight hundred people subconsciously put down the wine and meat in their hands, turned around and picked up weapons.

Towards the camp gate, they formed a group.

But they were stopped by the officers of Kim Wuwei.

Meaning, 800 warriors have done enough, and today's battle will be fought by Jin Wuwei.

Zhao Ziyang ran over from the residence, although he was drunk, he also dressed his armor neatly, carried a spear left and right, and held the saber at his waist in his right hand.

He came to the camp to call on his 800 men to go and kill the enemy.

Now that the people watching Jin Wuwei don't let them go to the front line, Zhao Ziyang's anxious face has changed.

"Lu Shuai, the enemy army has already descended on the city!"

Lu Delin looked calm: "Don't worry, there are only four or five thousand people, and they can't stir up the situation." ”

Lu Delin's men are being suppressed with bows and arrows.

Lu Delin stood at the gate of the inner city, waiting for Zhou Xian to come out.

At this time, the commander of the battle on the outer city wall of Yanmen Pass was Ma Wenzhong, a general under Lu Delin.

"Chitose!"

As soon as Zhou Xian came over, Lu Delin stepped forward to salute.

Zhou Xian waved his hand and said busily: "Quickly transfer the elite of the Shenji Battalion and fire at them, so that they can taste the power of long spears and short cannons." ”

At this time, it was late at night, and Zhou Xian's army was basically all gathered in the city.

It's not eight hundred, it's not three or five thousand before.

Rather, there were 10,000 Jinwuwei and 20,000 Praetorian Guards, including 5,000 sergeants of the Shenji Battalion wearing advanced flintlock pistols.

plus the two brocade guards of the Thousand Households Brigade accompanying the escort.

There are 40,000 people in the full fight.

But in Zhao Ziyang's opinion, the combat effectiveness of these 40,000 people can be comparable to that of 100,000 troops.

There's no exaggeration in that.

Lu Delin immediately replied: "Chitose rest assured, the flintlock pistol brigade of the Shenji Battalion has already landed in the city to fight!" ”

"Good! What about the Golden Guard? ”

"Get ready, take out the same ruthlessness as you did to slaughter 40,000 Jurchens."

"Chitose rest assured, the last general has already gathered three thousand gold guards in the city."

"At this time, they are waiting for an opportunity at the gate of the city."

"As long as the enemy army outside the city can't attack the city wall, and it is absolutely useless to return, the three thousand gold guards will go out of the city to cover and kill!"

"Good! Very good! ”

Zhou Xian was not worried at all.

Now Yanmen Pass is guarded by 40,000 people, like an iron bucket.

The outer gates are just the first line of defense.

There are five lines of defense behind it, each of which is like a moat.

He only wanted to leave the Mongol cavalry outside the city here for now.

Stay here forever.

The conversation between Zhou Xian and Lu Delin is very ordinary.

But such words made Zhao Ziyang, who was standing on the side, a little frightened.

I'm dripping sky!

The Mongol cavalry just attacked!

The defenders are still defending the city.

The master arranged for people to go out of the city to chase and kill??!

Isn't this Chitose a little too crazy?

Thinking of this, Zhao Ziyang hurriedly said in front of Zhou Xian: "Chitose, although there are only four or five thousand people in the Tartars, when they are wrapped in armor and people and horses, they must be the elite of the elite. ”

"The last general thinks that we are defending the city, and it will be difficult for them to break through the city gate if they are exhausted."

"Just condescendingly shoot with a long-range fire and a bow and arrow."

"When the time comes, they will lose 1,800 men, and they will be defeated."

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Xian bowed slightly.

In order not to hit Zhao Ziyang's self-confidence, he had to say: "You are right, normal battles are indeed like this." ”

"But today is not a regular battle."

Well???

Zhao Ziyang was stunned.

Is the battle still conventional and unconventional?

Is that unconventional?

At this moment, Zhou Xian waved his sleeves: "Hazier's subordinates will attack my Datong, I went out of the imperial city this time to send them to hell, and now they actually take the initiative to find death, I naturally want to laugh at them all." ”

"Lu Delin!"

"The minister is here."

"You gather all the Jin Wuwei under your command, and I will make the guests on the grassland repent of their mistakes tonight."

"Chitose, this ......"

Although Lu Delin was depressed, he could only go down and assemble.

Outside the Yanmen Pass, four or five thousand Mongolian cavalry were culled.

Where can I use 10,000 gold guards?

It is enough to have three thousand ready.

At the same time, outside the city gates.

Zalbak found the traditional siege too inkblotted.

So let the herald wave the flag.

And the soldiers in charge of the attack in front immediately became stunned.

They began to retreat in an orderly manner.

"Quick, drag up our army's weapons of mass destruction, and let them taste the taste of justice from heaven."

Zalbak roared.

He brought three cannons with him on this trip.

Ever since he got the improved version of the Ming Dynasty's cannon from the Ming army.

It's like discovering a new continent to conquer the world.

It was with the help of artillery that Hazir's cavalry was able to storm the city so quickly.

However, there was no waiting for Balzac to prepare the gun emplacement.

There was a crackling sound from the city walls.

With a fleeting burst of dazzling flare, thousands of flintlock muskets fired at the same time.

It was also mixed with unexpected arrows.

At the same time, the two cannons transferred by the Praetorian Guards from the Xincheng side were also loaded on the gun emplacements of the city wall.

"Fire!"

Rumble......

The shells split the ground and directly smashed four or five Mongolian cavalrymen.

Another bombardment.

A cavalry company with men and horses was torn apart.

At the same time, the bullets of the thousands of flintlock pistols rained down.

The impact of the iron armor makes a clanging sound.

The quality of Mongolian iron armor was far inferior to the armament level of the Ming Dynasty in the Central Plains.

And Xu Rongbing's latest flintlock pistol, the number of which is not large, is specially prepared for the Shenji Battalion.

Small caliber, great power.

Armor that pierces through Mongolia.

Hundreds of people fell in one fell in one fell swoop.

Zalbak has yet to react from his form.

And he saw that a thousand men who were besieging the city had fallen in large numbers.

And the two cannons just now rang in his ears.

The shock made his scalp tingle.

At this time, their artillery was still on the way to the front of the rear army.

But it was clearly too late.

"General, the Ming army in Kannai also has artillery!"

"They still have firecrackers."

Zarbak is also strange, isn't there only eight hundred? With the attack of the flintlock pistol just now, three or five hundred of his own soldiers fell.

That's not the firepower of eight hundred people at all.

But even if it is more, it is more than 1,000 people.

Not substantiated.

Zarbak immediately shouted: "Calm down, the flintlock pistols of the Ming army can't continue to exert force, and the whole army will press up with me and break the city!" ”

Zarbak also knew that the purpose of the artillery was no longer obvious at this time.

While the ladder had been erected, he quickly called on the soldiers to climb it.
