Chapter 863, Daming Iron Armor
Xiao Gan kept saying that he didn't have to worry, but he was very worried in his heart. In the next day, Xiao Gan lived like a year, eating and sleeping, and kept asking if there was any new news about the establishment of the state. All the generals are also anxiously waiting for news from Jianzhou.
Finally, the sky is as people wish, the difficult day finally passed, and the news came from the direction of Jianzhou, and the whole army of the Ming Army marched east along the Daling River and went straight to Xingzhongfu. As soon as Xiao Gan heard the news, he exclaimed excitedly: "Great! The enemy has finally taken the bait! He then ordered the troops who were feint to attack Songshanguan and Enju, increase the appearance of the attack, and secretly move the main force south to meet in the lofty mountains and mountains north of Qijin Mountain. Qijin Mountain is the high mountain in the north of Dadingfu City, and there are many lofty mountains and mountains in the north. After Xiao Gan did not leave the arrangement, he led the pro-army to leave Jinzhou and go south.
Li Xu climbed the wall of Enzhou and looked out of the city, only to see thousands of Khitan soldiers constantly cutting down trees from the woods next to their barracks, and the ping-pong sound in the barracks was non-stop. The subordinate general next to him pointed to the outside of the city and said: "General, the enemy is rushing to make siege equipment, it seems that it will not be long before the enemy will storm the city!" Li Xu nodded and ordered: "Immediately report the situation here to Your Majesty!" The general bowed to the promise.
Xiao Gan rushed to the lofty mountains and mountains north of Qijin Mountain, and then all the armies also arrived secretly day and night. Within a few days, the main army under his command had gathered in this mountain forest, and the Dading Mansion, which was close at hand, was obviously unaware.
Xiao Gan couldn't leave and asked Mo Gandao: "How is the situation in Xingzhong Mansion?" Mo Gandao: "I just received the news that the main force of the Ming Dynasty has begun to attack the city, and the offensive is very fierce. Xiao Gan nodded indefatigably, smiled proudly, and said, "No matter how wise Yang Peng and the eldest princess are, they will never expect to have fallen for my scheme!" The generals echoed one after another, but Mo Gan said worriedly: "I'm afraid that Xiao Sa will not be able to defend Xingzhong Mansion if he drinks generals!" The Ming Army is not a vegetarian! Under the bombardment of sharp artillery and the onslaught of sharp soldiers, Xiao Sa will not be able to hold on to it......"
Xiao Gan waved his hand, "Don't worry so much! Xingzhong Mansion is different from Jianzhou, the city wall is tall, and it is made of huge rocks, even the sharp cannons of the Ming people are difficult to hurt at all! And the moat is wide, and the Ming army has to spend a lot of effort to solve the problem of the moat! If nothing else, Xiao Saliyu can resist for at least a month with his current strength and the firmness of Xingzhong Mansion! Mo Gan felt that what the big marshal said was very reasonable, so he was no longer so worried.
Xiao Gan led the generals to a simple sand table under the shade of a tree. There is a city on the sand table, which is naturally Zhongjing Dading Mansion, and a high mountain in the north is the Qijin Mountain in the north of Dading Mansion. He couldn't leave: "In the past few days, our fine work has been carefully reconnoitred on Qijin Mountain and around Dading Mansion in disguise as local hunters. The enemy defenders were only 40,000, and 35,000 of them were local rebels, and only 5,000 were Ming troops. The 40,000 enemy troops were divided into two parts, one of 10,000 horses and 1,000 Ming troops was stationed on Qijin Mountain, and the remaining 30,000 enemy troops were all in the city. ”
Then he smiled and said: "The enemy is stationed in two places, and they think that it is foolproof, but they did not expect that our army has come under their eyes and noses!" Slanting also smiled: "When we attack, we will definitely startle them!" The crowd burst out laughing. Xiao Gan said: "We are not scaring them with medicine, but we want to annihilate the Ming army here in one fell swoop!" The generals couldn't help but be enthusiastic, and their eyes couldn't help but show excitement.
Xiao Gan said: "The enemy army is defenseless, this is our greatest advantage. My plan was to launch a raid tonight. Slanting, you lead your elite to raid the city! "The oblique also pressed the chest to promise. Xiao Gan looked at Mo Gan and said, "Mo Gan, you led the elite under your command to raid the Seven Golden Mountains!" Mo Gan also promised to press his chest.
Xiao Gan glanced at the generals, "This commander will lead the Chinese army to deal with your two directions. Remember, this battle is foolproof, but you must not be careless, and you must do your best to defeat the enemy as soon as you go up, so that they have no room for resistance! "The people will make a promise together.
Xiao Gan said: "In the middle of the night, I will light a red lantern on the highest mountain here, which is the signal for attack." You must act as soon as you see the signal, and you must not act in advance, let alone delay, because the violation of military law is ruthless! The generals' hearts sank, and they got up and promised.
The sky gradually darkened, the moon was in the middle of the sky, the earth was lonely, and sometimes one or two night owls chirped in the mountains. Countless black shadows formed two huge black dragons swimming out of the mountains, heading towards Dading Mansion and Qijin Mountain respectively, and the rumbling muffled sound echoed between the mountains, just like the sound of a mountain torrent in the mountains. The noise continued for about two quarters of an hour before it quieted down. There was silence in the mountains, as if nothing had ever happened.
Xian also led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his headquarters to quietly hide under the city wall and lay in ambush. Diagonally looking towards the city wall, I saw a few torches lit here and there on the top of the city, and the dim light reflected a few sentries. The sentries were very lazy, a few wandering, others dozing against the battlements, apparently just a militia of rebels.
Xian also said secretly: "This time the Ming people should be unlucky, they are so careless, they use a few chaotic people to set up a sentry, and it is really unreasonable if the whole army is not annihilated!" As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but become anxious, turned his head to look at the lofty mountains behind him, but it was a black expanse, and he couldn't see anything, and he couldn't help muttering: "Why hasn't the big marshal sent a signal yet?" ”
Suddenly, a little red fire flashed in the dark curtain in the distance. Xianye's eyes immediately widened, confirming that it was indeed the agreed signal, and immediately said to a subordinate general beside him: "You immediately handsome people touch the sentry and open the city gate." The latter excitedly agreed, and immediately led more than 100 sharp soldiers to the city of Dadingfu. A few hooks were thrown towards the city wall, and then the more than 100 sharp soldiers quickly climbed up like spirit monkeys.
Outside the city, Xian also saw the figure on the city flickering a few times, and those sentries were gone, and a torch on the city quickly shook from side to side, and Xian couldn't help but slap his face. Immediately, I saw that the city gate was wide open, and the oblique army immediately swung in, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses poured into the city gate like a tide. At the same time, more than 10,000 elites led by Mo Gan poured into the Ming army camp of Qijin Mountain like a tide.
The Khitan soldiers rushed into the city, and suddenly, the gate of the urn city in front of them slammed shut. Before the Khitan soldiers could react, the iron gate behind them also fell with a clang. Xianye, who had just come to the city gate, was suddenly taken aback when he saw such a scene, and quickly reined in his war horse, and shouted at the generals beside him: "Quickly send a signal to Hei San!" How? "Hei San, he is the general who led the sharp soldiers to the city just now to get rid of the sentinels and open the city gate.
Before the words fell, a torch suddenly lit up on the city wall, and I saw sharp soldiers like a wall, swords and guns. The soldiers of the Khitan army were all taken aback when they suddenly saw such a scene, this was too unexpected!
At the same time, there was a loud rumbling sound and the terrible screams of their own soldiers in the urn city, and the Ming army on the city wall was slaughtering the Jin army in the urn city! The Khitan soldiers in the urn city had no way to escape, and they came to the rain of rolling stones and arrows!
Xian was also greatly annoyed, and shouted urgently: "Give me an attack!" The army immediately shouted and rushed to the city wall. Arrows rained down on the city wall, and the generals and soldiers turned into rolling gourds one after another, and at the same time, a loud rumbling sound rang out, and it turned out that the cannon was powerful! The cannonballs whistled into the enemy's thicket, smashing the enemy's flesh and blood, and at the same time, violent explosions rang out one after another, and the flames wrapped the enemy's stumps into the sky!
Xiao Gan, who was watching the battle on the mountain, was surprised to see the rumbling of cannons and the flames in Dading Mansion, and couldn't help frowning and muttering: "What's going on?" Are the defenders of Dading Mansion prepared? How can there be so many cannons! ”
"Look, handsome!" A subordinate general beside him suddenly pointed to the Seven Gold Mountain and shouted.
I hurriedly looked towards the Seven Gold Mountain, only to see that the fire on the Seven Gold Mountain was soaring into the sky, and the boiling flames were like demons with teeth and claws! In the blazing firelight, you can see the longing of the human figure!
Xiao Gan's eyes widened and he couldn't speak for a while. Then he frowned, and his heart was in chaos. At this moment, the sound of killing on the mountainside of Qijin Mountain shook the sky, and countless soldiers and horses could be vaguely seen from the dark mountain forest, attacking their own soldiers and horses. Xiao Gan scolded angrily: "These chaotic people who are not as good as pigs and dogs dare to confront me!" When I break the city, I will kill all these rebels! "Then he ordered to increase the troops to Dading Mansion and Qijin Mountain respectively, and at the same time strictly ordered Xianye and Mo Gan to break the enemy army before sunrise! In the idea of not leaving, although they were attacked by the enemy, but these chaotic people are the main enemy army, the combat effectiveness is limited after all, and the real battle is definitely not the opponent of their own hundred battles, if they can't completely defeat the enemy army before sunrise, then Xian Ye and Mo Gan will be too incompetent!
Soon after the reinforcements went down, I saw many soldiers and horses who were burned to the ground and embarrassed to flee in a hurry, and Mo Gan was among them.
Xiao Gan was furious and shouted: "Mo Gan, as a general, what crime should you be guilty of fleeing the battlefield without authorization?" ”
Mo Gan hurriedly said: "Dashuai, we are all fooled!" It was not the rebels who ambushed us, but the elite of the Ming Dynasty! ”
Xiao Gan was stunned for a moment, and said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense!" Where are so many Ming elites in Dading Mansion? The elites of the Ming Dynasty are attacking Xingzhong Mansion! ”
Mo Gan hurriedly said: "It is indeed the elite of the Ming Dynasty!" We retreated from the top of the hill, and suddenly they came up from both sides! ”
"As soon as our army entered the camp on the top of the mountain, a fire suddenly broke out all around, and in an instant the entire mountain top was on fire! Many soldiers and horses did not have time to withdraw! This is obviously a long-planned plan, and it is by no means hastily arranged! When our army retreated to the middle of the mountain, countless Ming elites suddenly killed in the mountains and forests on both sides, and the last general immediately led the army to resist, but in an instant, our army suffered heavy casualties, and several commanders under the command of the last general died in a blink of an eye, if it were not for the Ming elite, who could have such power! ”
Xiao Gan was shocked.
Mo Gan hurriedly said: "Great Shuai, the last general feels that we seem to have fallen into the enemy's trap!" The enemy has been planning for a long time, just waiting for us to jump in! ”
Xiao Gan frowned, shook his head and said, "This is impossible!" Yang Peng and the eldest princess are not immortals, how could they expect my actions? My plan is invulnerable, and they could not have expected it! ”
Mo Gan hurriedly said: "Dashuai, let's not care if Yang Peng and the eldest princess can predict whether they can predict or not, in short, we are in a bad situation now, let's retreat quickly!" ”
Xiao Gan couldn't help but glared and shouted, "Fart!" If you encounter a little setback, you will run away, and you are still not the general of our Great Liao Empire? ”
Mo Gan was speechless.
Xiao Gan thought for a moment, and said categorically: "Yang Peng and the eldest princess couldn't have expected my plan!" The enemy in front of us is still only a few tens of thousands of rebellious people in the city and five thousand Ming troops! Seeing that Mo Gan wanted to defend himself, he immediately raised his hand to interrupt him and said, "After all, our army has a large-scale mobilization of hundreds of thousands of troops, and it is inevitable that it will not be detected by the enemy of Dading Mansion!" That's why the enemy is making preparations! What you encounter on Qijin Mountain must be all the 5,000 Ming troops left behind in Dading Mansion, and the number of them is difficult to tell in the middle of the night, making you think that the enemy army is huge! This is the enemy's suspicious tactic, that is, to make us retreat in fear of ourselves! I can't leave it, but I can't be fooled by this! Mo Gan felt that what the marshal said seemed to be very reasonable, so he no longer insisted on his opinion.
Xiao Gan immediately said to Mo Gan: "I will give you 30,000 soldiers and horses, and you will immediately lead them back to the foot of Qijin Mountain to intercept the Ming army on Qijin Mountain." You don't have to annihilate them, you just have to trap them. Mo Gan answered and ran down.
Xiao Gan did not leave, and then ordered the whole army to march towards Dading Mansion.
When Xiao Gan led the army to the city of Dadingfu, the battle was still in full swing. Diagonal has been fighting for so long without making any progress. Xiao Gan was greatly displeased, and the special envoy summoned Xian Ye and reprimanded him fiercely, strictly ordering him to break through the city before sunrise. The Khitan soldiers were also greatly embarrassed, and personally led the elite to attack the city, and the Khitan soldiers saw that the slanted army also went into battle in person, and they were greatly excited, and they took out twelve points of strength to attack fiercely! All of a sudden, the Khitan army's offensive became more violent, like countless wolves constantly slamming into the city wall, one after another, fierce and abnormal, and it made people tremble when they looked at it! However, no matter how ferocious the offensive of the Khitan army was, the Ming army remained immobile like a rock in front of the raging waves, and the offensive of the Khitan army never made real progress! The Khitan officers and soldiers who climbed to the top of the city couldn't stand on their feet at all, and as soon as they went up, they were slashed by the opponent with a big sword, either splashing blood on the head of the city, or falling under the city! The Khitan soldiers under the city kept throwing arrows at the head of the city, although they kept shooting down the Ming army, but the Ming army at the head of the city never decreased!
Xiao Gan couldn't help but feel a ray of light coming from one side, and couldn't help but turn his head to look, only to see that the rising sun had already revealed half of his face in the sky, and the night had already retreated.
Xiao Gan couldn't help but be surprised, but he didn't expect that most of the night had passed unconsciously, and the day had come. Looking back at the battlefield in front of him, he saw that his soldiers had shown a state of exhaustion, but the city wall was still immovable! At this time, the sky has dawned, the situation on the head of the city can be seen clearly, where is the people's army guarding the head of the city, only to see a heavy armor and iron armor tall and strong, wielding knives and guns to the sky, such as wolves, tigers, lions and bears, it is clear that it is the elite of the Ming Dynasty!
Xiao Gan didn't move his head, and a very bad thought came up.
At this moment, the sound of earth-shattering war drums suddenly came from the top of the city, which actually suppressed the noise of the battlefield. Xiao Gan did not hesitate to turn his head, and urgently ordered the army to stop attacking and form a formation on the spot.
The Khitan soldiers received the order and quickly retreated. At this moment, from the west of Dading Mansion, there was a sudden rolling tide of soldiers, and tens of thousands of Ming war horses rushed like a tide.
Xiao Gan didn't leave until this time, he already knew that he had fallen into a trap, and hurriedly ordered 40,000 war horsemen to meet him. The 40,000 Khitan army cavalry immediately broke away from the army and rushed up, and went straight to meet the Ming cavalry. In the blink of an eye, the two warhorses collided together, and a fierce scuffle began, swords and swords, and the knight who fell off the horse was instantly overwhelmed by the rolling iron hooves!
Just when the killing was fierce over there, the city gate suddenly opened, and the Ming warrior Huyan Bixian led 10,000 Ming iron armor poured out of the city gate, the earth shook violently, and the steel torrent composed of 10,000 Ming iron armor rushed towards the Khitan army that was still shrinking the army array! The momentum was like a landslide and tsunami, terrifying!
The soldiers of the Khitan army turned pale with shock, and Xiao Gan had no choice but to send all the 10,000 Iron Floating Slaughter under his command to meet the opponent's Daming Iron Armor. I saw 10,000 Khitan Army Tiefutu rushing out of the military formation and catching up with the Ming Iron Armor, which was also shocking like a tide! The morale of the Khitan generals was greatly boosted, and they shouted one after another.
The Khitan Army's Tiefutu and Daming Iron Armor, the two heavy armored cavalry that may be the strongest in the world today, are finally about to collide! Two torrents of steel made the earth tremble violently!
In the blink of an eye, the attacking steely crash suddenly came to mind! Seeing the two torrents of steel violently mixed together, the tomahawks roared, the wolf sticks flew, and the huge impact of ping-pong as if striking iron became one piece! I saw that the Khitan Army's Tiefutu people turned on their backs, and the onslaught of the Daming Iron Armor seemed to be devastated, but the attack of the Khitan Army's Tiefutu was difficult to really shake the Daming Iron Armor! It turns out that the continuous improvement of the Ming Iron Armor Liao Kingdom over the years is far from being comparable to that year. Today's Daming Iron Armor is wearing Xuantian heavy armor, and a special fish scale chain armor is added to the innermost side, although the attack power of the Khitan Army's Iron Floating Tu Battle Knife and Big Axe is sharp, but it is still beyond the strength to break through the defense of the Daming Iron Armor!
Although the main attack weapon of the Daming iron armor is still a mace, it has been improved many times, designed for armor-piercing shooting, the armor-piercing ability is amazing, the armor of the Khitan army Tiefutu is still the kind of heavy armor of the year, the improvement is not big, it is nothing for the general infantry and light cavalry, but when I met the mace in the hands of the Daming ironclad that is specially designed for armor-breaking shooting, it is like a paper paste, a stick past, and even people with armor are blurred with flesh and blood!
After a short but fierce battle, the Khitan army Tiefutu suffered heavy casualties! Xiao Gan and the other Khitan soldiers were stunned and unbelievable, how could they not believe that Tiefutu, who was regarded as the last reliance of his side, was so vulnerable!
However, after all, the Khitan Army Tiefutu is a rare warrior in the world, although the battle situation is unfavorable, he bravely rushes to kill without flinching!
Yang Peng led the main force of the Ming Dynasty out of the city gate, and lined up the army with his back against the city gate. Seeing that the iron horses on both sides sacrificed their lives to fight, they had no intention of helping. This is an iron-blooded contest between warriors, and Yang Peng is unwilling to help and can't help.
On the battlefield, the sound of killing shook the sky, and the Khitan army Tiefu Tu Wu, who fell off his horse, fought endlessly; And the Daming Iron Armor is bloodthirsty and ruthless, and the mace in his hand constantly smashes the Khitan Army's Iron Floating Massacre to the point of flesh and blood!
I don't know how long it has been, but it seems to be a long time and it seems to be just a blink of an eye. The tragic battle finally ended, and the battlefield was covered with corpses, and the corpses of the Khitan army's Tiefutu and the corpses of the war horses covered the wasteland between the two sides! The soldiers who were not dead struggled in the blood of the corpses, and a wounded war horse screamed and tried to stand up, but could not do it!
The Daming iron armor was re-lined into formation, and Huyan Bixian raised his horse lance and said, "Salute to the warriors!" "The Daming Iron Armor gave a military salute to all the dead Khitan Army Tiefutu together. The Ming Army advocates martial arts, and admires those real warriors who are not afraid of death. In this battle, 10,000 Ming iron armor annihilated the Khitan army's Tiefu Tu and won a clean and beautiful victory, but the loss was not small, and the number of casualties was close to 2,000! If you face other opponents, you will never suffer such a large number of casualties! The annihilation of the entire army of the Khitan Army Tiefutu was not in vain, thanks to the fact that they dragged the Ming Iron Armor, so the Khitan Army was able to completely shrink back into a huge military formation, so that the Ming Iron Armor would not be overwhelmed by the Ming Iron Armor in one fell swoop!
Yang Peng raised his right hand, and the horn immediately sounded. The Ming soldiers shouted in unison, and the sound shook the sky.
The soldiers of the Khitan army, who had already stormed the city for most of the night, were exhausted, and now they saw that the enemy's momentum was so golden, that everyone couldn't help but change color.
Xiao Gan kept the looks of the soldiers in his eyes, and shouted with his eyes: "We are the warriors of the Great Liao Empire, and we would rather die than be humiliated!" Swear to fight with the Ming people to the end! The officers and soldiers of the Khitan army only felt their blood boiling, and they shouted one after another, and the huge sound was wave after wave, as if they had completely recovered their fighting spirit!
Yang Peng smiled and nodded, muttering, "This is like words." Then he waved his right hand forward, and the army formation immediately separated, and the artillery team immediately pushed the cannon to the front of the army formation. At this time, the Daming iron armor had already retreated behind the artillery team. Faced with such a scene, the soldiers of the Khitan army couldn't help but purse their lips tightly, and their hearts were very nervous.
Yang Peng nodded at the commander of the artillery team, who shouted loudly: "The whole army obeys the order and shells the enemy position!" ”
The officers and men of the artillery immediately loaded the gunpowder projectile and immediately ignited the fuse. Boom Boom Boom Boom ...... The huge roar sounded, the cannons, field artillery, and giant python cannons roared together, and the whistling shells slammed into the enemy positions, and many Khitan officers and soldiers were knocked up and flew up by the huge force, and the exclamations rang out! Almost at the same time, a violent explosion sounded, and a ball of flames rose in the crowd, and smoke and flames wrapped in human stumps flew all over the sky!
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
