Seeing the first horse cross the gate of the village and rush inside, a smile appeared on the corner of Gunbirick's mouth: This village is finally broken.

Then I saw that the cavalry under his command, who was still on the hillside and close to the walled gate, suddenly lifted the horse's head and stopped with his hooves raised, causing a panic in the back.

"What's going on!" He roared angrily.

In front of the walled gate, maybe the first few cavalry happened to be relatively timid, or maybe the scene in the front of the walled was too terrifying.

I saw that between the flat field inside the walled gate, the shield bearers who had withdrawn before formed a circle, and behind them stood another three circles of soldiers armed with Ming firearms.

This kind of firearm, they've seen it, it's called a three-eyed gun, but it shouldn't be so powerful, right? Isn't this kind of gun, called Three-Eyed, but it can only shoot a projectile within one eye at a time?

But now there is more than one place on the horses that is bleeding?

Now the first row is only holding the muzzle of the gun with three holes, and the smoke has not completely cleared.

The more than 20 people who rushed into the village first are now on their backs and wailing. The guns did not sound again, only the bows and arrows of the cavalry inside and outside the gate were still whistling.

Rushing up this slope, the horse's speed is no longer fast. When you enter the walled gate, you must move and kill the enemy as soon as possible.

was stunned for a moment, and heard a burst of gunfire again, but it was not from the three-eyed guns that were surrounded in a circle inside the wall, but instead of being sent to the wall of the wall, and rushing at the birds outside the wall.

The bird gun of the Eight Classics was introduced to the Ming Dynasty during the Jiajing period.

Now, it's a little bit ahead of schedule and a little bit more mature.

Yu Dayou left the fire gun camp to this day, and finally began to make contributions.

He excitedly shouted, "On the back row!" ”

Along the wall, a second row of bird guns held the bird guns and extended the long barrels out of the wall. Compared with the previous fire gun, the bird gun has a light door and a star.

In this round of birds, there were more than a dozen captives outside the village who rode on their backs.

The gate was still open, as if inviting them to go in and die. But staying outside the village is also unsafe.

In the distance behind them, a loud horn sounded, and they could even hear a hint of anger in it, as if Gunbiric was roaring in rage.

Can only rush!

"Quick! Hurry up and change the gun! ”

let go of the first round of three-eyed guns, urging the people behind.

This new three-eyed gun has the same idea as the tiger squat cannon, and it has some of the same design ideas as the crutch gun that appeared later in the Ming Dynasty.

The crank wooden handle, the front three-eyed iron pipe each has a slot, and the three guns can be filled with gunpowder projectiles and inserted into them. The fire rope was twisted and lit, and although the gunpowder in the three eyes did not really explode at the same time, it was almost the same. It's three projectiles at a time, and it's even more powerful because it's made bigger. Although the range is short, it is quite powerful.

Seeing that the Tartars still rushed in again, they knew that it was their turn to shoulder the most difficult task today, under the fragile protection of the knife player in front of them.

The bow and arrow bird first try to consume as many people as possible from outside, but as long as they rush in, they must all be killed!

Yu Dayou shouted: "Riding into the village, one of them is a head, and you can't run away!" Kill! ”

The weight of the first level of military merit of the Ming Dynasty is very heavy.

As soon as Yu Dayou said this, Yang Bo couldn't help but look at him: The premise is not to be crushed! Otherwise, no matter how many heads there are, can you bring them back?

There was a dull roar, and another canopy of gunpowder smoke rose from the village, and there were more howling captives in the circle.

The power of the original shotgun should not be underestimated at such a close distance.

The rhythm of ammunition loading cannot be messed up for a moment, and Yang Bo feels that it is more important to him at this moment: "Quickly replenish the wounded soldiers!" ”

The shooter on the sentry post is now a specialized "knife".

Even if there were three rows, they were quickly rotated, but there was still an endless stream of captives.

"Retreat! Go to the earth platform! ”

Bao Zhengchuan took a few steps back with his shield in hand, while the three-eyed gunners stood nervously on a circle of earthen platforms—the shields could not better protect them from being shot by the Tartar arrows that rushed into the gate.

But there is no way, the horses and captives will block the bullets and their sight.

Fortunately, as the tiger squat cannon transferred to the earth platform in the village began to bombard outward again, the number and frequency of enemy cavalry that could rush into the gate of the village were decreasing.

Yu Dayou grinned: "It's all gathered, and you don't have to worry about the brothers in the Mandarin Duck Camp." Swap out the bullets! There are only so many, be accurate! Beat them so that they don't dare to come up easily! ”

With the mandarin duck array, Yu Dayou, who had withstood the previous three days, finally gave full play to the firepower he hid. Guo Xun and Tang Shunzhi gave him the best equipment supplies, and Yu Dayou and Zhao Benxue were able to use it flexibly, and they dared to use cold weapons for three days with courage first.

This is not enough.

"The brothers of the Mandarin Duck Battalion who can still fight, will line up with the general and go out of the village!"

It is impossible to let the captives ride into the village like this all the time, there are already sixty or seventy people and horses piled up in the gate of the wall, and the effect of the three-eyed gun will be greatly reduced by the piles of horses and Tartar corpses.

It's time for the captives to think of the power of the mandarin duck array, hesitate, and retreat.

"Hold on, clean the field!"

The mandarin duck array stood up again, this time only two small formations, blocked at the gate of the village.

Now it will not be loose, and it will be enough to hold the gate in a short time.

"Hold on, hold on!"

After about a quarter of an hour, a voice came from behind him: "General, it's clean, do you want to let some more in?" ”

Yu Dayou looked at the captives who were still rushing up at the foot of the mountain, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes: "Brothers, is it okay?" ”

"Stand it!" On the other side, Bao Zhengchuan shouted.

"Then on both sides of the gate of the wall, make a hole and see if they dare to enter!"

The two groups of mandarin duck formations each moved a few steps away, and the gate of the fortress revealed a gap that could accommodate five or six horsemen to rush in.

But the captives who rushed to the front began to hesitate.

The corpses of the tribesmen and horses were gone, leaving only a patch of bloodstained earth almost as stained as a cloth.

Now, it is necessary to rush into this iron hedgehog-like formation, and to rush in to face that inexplicable firearm, and then turn into a corpse and be dragged away.

At this time, Yu Dayou shouted in the formation: "Quanzhou Yu Dayou is here!" Go in! ”

As soon as the words fell, he caught a shot from the captives who hesitated for a moment.

This time, the flowers bloomed brightly, just a dozen paces away in front of the two clusters of mandarin ducks.

In the distance, the sound of a horn was finally heard that made them retreat for a while.

The captives who rushed to the mountain were relieved, braved the last shells and arrows to ride their horses down the mountain, and even used the first level of earthen platform to show their superb equestrian skills and strong horse qualities.

"No need to pursue!" Yu Dayou also breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "Next, we have to prevent them from caring about us anymore and rushing directly to Jingping." Come on, cut off the head and hang it on the wall! Those who know how to speak Tartar shout loudly: It's just a little bit, we're dying! ”

Staying up until the fourth day was still the winner, the village suddenly burst into laughter, although what the general said was actually true, and the message to be passed on was very frightening.

But for some reason, looking at the high-spirited young general standing outside the gate with a knife, they still felt that they could hold it and survive.

After a while, more soldiers in the village who had temporarily learned this sentence joined the taunting team.

"It's just a little bit! We're dying! ”

The lame words reached Gunbiric's side far away, and he flew into a rage.

After a while, there was another content, which was a friendly language of communication between the world, cordial greetings to their relatives, and caring for their bodies and minds.

Yang Bo looked at Yu Dayou, who was stained with blood on his arm after returning to the camp, and said convincingly: "The general is in this battle, and there are ten thousand people who are not brave!" ”

"This is Tang Yingde's initiative."

"Tang Futai is talented, and the little brother is really fascinated. However, the general not only improved this formation, but also used it to make meritorious contributions with the talents of immortal courage and commandery, which is even more difficult. ”

"It's not even close." Yu Dayou sighed, "There are not many ammunition and arrows. ”

"Today you will be able to subdue the Tartars, so that they will not dare to go up the mountain easily."

"I'm just afraid that they will leave hundreds of people behind and go around, but they won't be able to catch up." Yu Dayou looked in the direction of Jingping, his eyes were cold, "I'm afraid Jingping won't be able to hold it." ”

"So the general provokes him with words?"

Yu Dayou nodded: "Don't save food, eat enough!" Tonight, do another hour or two of work to stabilize the wall again. One more day is one day! ”

"Little brother, let's go see Wolf's Den Mountain again!"

"Not necessarily!" Yu Dayou shook his head, "The Tartars have been here for four days, and I'm afraid that the road will soon be discovered by the Tartars." You can take twenty brothers and bring back this batch of grain that is almost there. ”

Gunberik, about a mile away from Nahe Fort, was in a terrible mood, and his eyes were looking at the stockade and the faintly waved flag.

Now, he has to make a difficult decision.

Whether to leave only a few people to stare at the remaining more than 1,000 tired soldiers here, or to pull out this nail with all their might.

How much does that cost, and how much time does it take?

The advantage of the Mongol cavalry was not to attack such a mountain "city", not to attack the forts - unless the forts themselves were weak and the defenders were too cowardly, and the pressure would collapse as soon as the pressure was greater.

But the Yu Dayou in front of him is not that kind of person. His stockade was rude, but he took advantage of everything and was brave and resourceful.

The question also includes: How many people are left to keep an eye on him instead of being defeated by him?

“…… The wounded soldiers retreated to Naihe Fort to rest and recuperate, and always came to find out what was going on here! Gunbiric replied to the taunts that still came from time to time with a twitching eyebrow, "I've been here for four days, go to Jingping!" ”

He knew that his city was stronger and he had more soldiers, but he was better at fighting.

Gunberic came with more than 8,000 people, and left with 6,000.

More than 700 people were killed in the battle, and nearly 2,000 soldiers were wounded.

Looking at the mountain, Gunberik's eyes were full of hatred.

Now is not the time to settle accounts, but to leave people to cut off their food. When he returns from plundering, he will completely eradicate this Ming army.

……

When the Tartar army appeared to the west of Jingping City, Liu Kai knew that Yu Dayou was finished.

Wishing he would have stayed a few more days was in vain.

"It's only been four days! The dignified martial champion is not worthy of the name! ”

Now that the soldiers are coming to the city, Liu Kai only has resentment in his heart.

The Datong military order was issued two days ago, and yesterday he received the military order, and as a result, the Tartar army came today, and he had to hold it for seven days.

"Seven days no problem!" Liu Kai, as a general of the West Road Division, also has an inferior telescope in his hand.

Looking at the number of enemy troops, he found that it was not the nearly 10,000 troops that had been transmitted back from the original Yingenburg.

At the moment, it is roughly estimated that it is about five or six thousand, and at most six or seven thousand.

The three forts of Ying'en, Zhuhu, and Naihe, plus the four days that Yu Dayou carried it, Tartar still paid some price after all.

"The Jingping city wall is wide, it's no problem to hold it for seven days!" Liu Kai's spirit perked up, "Pass the order, and it will be a great achievement to hold it for seven days!" As soon as the reinforcements arrive, tens of thousands of troops will hate me Jingping! ”

Unexpectedly, the captives soon moved, and after resting for a while along the gentle slope at the foot of the mountain west of Jingping, they headed southwest.

The sound of the hooves of thousands of cavalry shook the earth and also hit Liu Kai's heart.

His face turned pale suddenly.

Why don't you dig a well?

If it was usual, he wished that the Tartars would not dig the well.

But now it is different, and now he has received a military order to drag the Tartar in Jingping.

If it was peacetime, he could also deduce that the Tartars avoided the battle, how could the Ming soldiers catch up with the cavalry?

But now it is different, Yu Dayou set up a village in the west of Jingping to resist the enemy, Datong knows. The line that the Tartars walked to block the tiger and the Naihe River, Datong also knew.

Why didn't Jingping send reinforcements? Even if Jingping still has to send troops to stay behind, why not divide troops to reinforce? Why not block the mountain pass? Why didn't the soldiers go out of the city to attract captives?

Liu Kai couldn't figure it out: Isn't the trap afraid that the back road will be cut off? Or is it to break the siege and then go out through another mouth after plundering?

Is it that I, Liu Kai, are not capable of cutting off the back road?

Now Liu Kai only thought about the consequences of riding through Jingping and going to Shuozhou, and hurriedly ordered with a pale face: "Order troops!" Point soldiers! Before the Tartars went far, go out of the city and line up! ”

In this panicked arrangement, when the south gate of Jingping City was opened, and the Jingping defenders had just hurried out before they finished their formation, the captive cavalry team crossed a graceful arc and rushed straight to those panicked defenders.

Liu Kai was suddenly frightened on the city wall: "I've been tricked!" Close the gates! Close the gates! ”

Finally venting his frustration, Gunbirik wiped out the hundreds of defenders who had left the city at a very small cost, and finally looked at Jingping Castle with contempt.

Such goods can't cut off his back road.

With this lesson, he never dared to go out of the city again. Whether it's going out of the city to chase it, or trying to go out of the city again to lure yourself to stay.

Even when he returned with a full load, he still didn't dare to go out of the city to stop him.

Besides, Gunbirick wouldn't have left him that opportunity.

Gunbiric felt that he had been carried away by that Yu Dayou before, so why did he have to attack the city of the Ming people? If you want to attack, you must also pay attention to methods.

"Balk, you take fifteen hundred people to stay and lay down this well!"

After that, he led the remaining nearly 5,000 horsemen and drove away.

Liu Kai's legs were shaking.

He stopped the Tartars, but only a little.

But even this little bit is dangerous for yourself.

After a false shot from Tartar just now, he easily buried more than 500 people, and the Jingping defenders were already on the verge of collapse in fear.

"Li Jian of the dog day! Where have you been? Gotta stop them! ”

Liu Kai muttered to himself, he knew that if Jingping was just guarding the gate, the chance of being broken by these more than 1,000 captive cavalry was not great, provided that he had to quickly save the army's heart.

But now, even if we hold on to more than 1,000 people for seven days, it is already too much work.

Unless Li Jian came to help in time, he could stop the nearly 5,000 horsemen at the mountain pass leading from Jingping to Shuozhou.

Based on Liu Kai's understanding of Li Jian...... His face turned two points pale......

Yu Dayou! Why can't you keep it for a few more days?

……

"Change horses!"

Guo Xun had just arrived at the post station in Sanyin, and his face was extremely gloomy.

According to his general's orders, the horses he and the two hundred soldiers he brought with him were ready.

Before he arrived here, the herald returned, and Li Jian of Ma Yi was struggling, and he received a military order the night before yesterday, and he had not set off today.

Guo Xun had to take two hundred personal soldiers and rush here at full speed from the large army.

"It's less than thirty miles away from Mayi, carry it again!"

There are not many brave generals like Li Jin and Yu Dayou available in Datong Town, and most of them are mediocre people who have no fault.

Although this Shuozhou had some intentions in the previous plan, Liu Kai and Li Jian did not move, but they didn't expect that Li Jian would dare to grind after hearing the military order now.

The military situation is like fire, can it be so abrasive?

In less than half an hour, Guo Xun finally arrived at Mayi.

Li Jian went out of the city to greet him, and before Guo Xun got off the horse, he said: "The last general has just prepared the grain and grass needed by the generals who are going to reinforce Jingping, and General Liu will send an order to let the last general go around Shuozhou to escort the grain and grass." A message has just been sent from Shuozhou, and the grain and grass have been prepared. The last general was about to divide his troops into two routes, all the way to Jingping for reinforcements, and all the way to Shuozhou to escort grain and grass. Master Hou, you ...... here?"

So fast!

As soon as Guo Xun got off his horse, he drew his knife and cut a tent of blood on Li Jian's throat, and his own soldiers drew their knives and surrounded him.

The sudden change was shocked, Guo Xun's face was bloody, and his eyes were full of cold eyes looking at Li Jian's family soldiers.

"Ben Hou ordered the army to reinforce Jingping at full speed after receiving the order. Now you are slow, Ben Hou has to come in person. He looked at the thousand households guarding the Thousand Households in this Ma Yi, "Order soldiers!" Give you a stick of incense and go to Jingping with Benhou! Shuozhou has grain and grass, can't Shuozhou Wei escort himself? ”

Li Jian's corpse protested silently on the ground: Liu Kai really gave this military order! Liu Kai of the dog day!

The Zhengqian households of the Mayi Thousand Households didn't dare to say anything, and Guo Xun swept Li Jian's family soldiers and personal soldiers: "If you make meritorious service in this battle, you will follow Ben Hou in the future, do you understand?" ”

Is it the family soldier of the guerrilla general, or the private soldier of the dignified Marquis of Wuding? Moreover, the guerrilla general is already dead, and the dead will not pay them again.

Under the pressure that his son might not even be able to be a townsman, Guo Xun ventured out of the large army and came to Mayi with only 200 people, taking with him a total of less than 2,000 people.

"Hurry up!" He ordered loudly under the banner, "Behind Benhou, all the walled forts have sent soldiers to rush to the front. Don't worry about the lack of people, Ben Hou can work hard, you can't? To win this battle, it is the Benhou brothers who survive, and the Benhou who died in the battle will take care of the family. If he didn't dare to go to the battlefield, Ben Hou sent him to see the king of Hades! ”

Gunbiric's cavalry was faster, and Guo Xun was a little slower.

But they were all rapid marches, so even the sentry cavalry had a brief gap, and they were not able to detect and report the news in time.

So just like an inexplicable fate, they finally met in the Lotus Leaf Mountain in the north of Shuozhou.

Both sides were shocked.

“…… Liu Kai, Lao Tzu wants to cut you with a thousand knives! When Guo Xun saw the scale of this captive horse, he immediately scolded, "Formation!" Formation! ”

Gunbiric couldn't believe his eyes either: "That's like...... Is it the general flag of the Datong General Army? ”

"Wu Ding Guo, you can't be wrong!"

Gunbilik wondered, why did the Datong army have less than 2,000 people to escort it, and they appeared here after suffering from baldness last year?

How could the general army of Datong only bring such a small number of people?

"Not good! Hit the trick! The sentry did not find them! Gunbirick thought about the inexplicable operation of the Jingping guard, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was a trap, "Quickly retreat, go back to Jingping!" ”

Guo Xun was dumbfounded, and after a while, he said loudly: "See? When the captive chieftain saw the banner of Ben Hou, he fled from the wind! That's a big trick to capture the chieftain, chase after it! ”

You can't catch up, but as long as you drive them west, it's a success.

Guo Xun couldn't figure out why there were more people in Beiyuan Jinong for the time being, but he hurriedly retreated to the direction of Jingping after encountering him.

That night, Liu Kai in Jingping City had already been tossed for an afternoon. The Tartars only relied on their horses to shoot arrows at the city wall from time to time around Jingping City, killing and injuring some defenders, and eating away at the military spirit of the Jingping defenders little by little.

Towards midnight, the horses' hooves outside the city rang loudly, and the thousands of Gunberik's defenders returned, and immediately attacked the city overnight.

Liu Kai's tears are about to come out: What is this playing!

Fortunately, all the captives were really stopped by him in Jingping.

"Hold on! Hold on! Reinforcements are on the way! ”

Plus more. The long-lost day, alas......
