Ningyuan City Yingen Gate.
The soldiers were also confused when they learned that they were going out to line up to fight Di Yi.
What kind of commander would give such a blind military order
The soldiers slowly gathered outside. Many of them did not go out on horseback, but led their horses out. What's more, Some even didn't even bring their horses. They seemed to be sure that the cavalry of the Three Guards of Duoyan would rush towards them, and the final result would be to escape back to the city gate, so it was more practical to come out wearing armor and shields.
Anyway, the possibility of Duoyan's three guards charging directly is not high. Instead, they will shoot with bows and crossbows from a long distance. Why bring the horses out?
In case the horses are shot to death, the cavalry will Just change it to infantry, and the salary will plummet.
"The barbarians are rushing over"
On the top of the city.
Qian Ying looked at the chaotic scene below when the soldiers were leaving the city, and felt very anxious. He picked up the telescope and looked into the distance. Even without the telescope, he could see the enemy's cavalry approaching the city gate quickly with the naked eye.
"How far is it?" Zhu Feng had no intuitive impression of the distance.
Wang Qiong made a careful judgment and said, "It should be within three miles, and it will be within range."
"Wait a little longer"
Zhu Feng was in a very good mood. nervous.
Going to the back, he grabbed a torch and seemed to be going to light the cannon himself later.
When Zhang Yanling saw this posture, he hurriedly wanted to go down to the city, but was blocked by the soldiers. He yelled, "Get away whoever blocks me, I will kill him."
Wang Qiong said, "Brother Jianchang, please don't leave. You are leaving your post without permission. Di Yi cannot enter the city gate."
"Get out of the way"
Zhang Yanling really almost wanted to block the way from the surrounding people. His soldiers fought hard, but were finally carried into the city gate tower.
"It's close, it's close"
The person who shouted this was Qian Ying's general on the city wall.
"Jinnu, Jinnu, if the artillery is ready to kill him, let him go."
Qian Ying and others were all talking about it. In the end, they didn't know whether the military order would be carried out. .
Just the top of the city wall on the east side of the city was already a mess.
Chen Rui looked at this posture and shook his head helplessly, thinking in his heart, expecting such a group of people to go to war, I was really blinded by lard before. It is not as good as the soldiers I brought out. The soldiers who fought in Liaodong were just like this. Is this urine?
Before Yingen Gate, there were less than 200 cavalry out of the city gate.
It hasn’t even started yet, and no one is willing to set up formations away from the city gate. It seems that everyone knows that if they leave the city gate today, they are going to die. They still have to be able to return to the city at the critical moment. It's only inside, maybe a military order comes from above, or arrows fall from above the head, and you have to enter without entering the city gate.
At this time, the cavalry of Duoyan's three guards had already reached within two miles of the city gate.
This place is already within the range of Zhang Zhou’s improved mother-child cannon.
"Prepare"
Zhu Feng shouted, and then he remembered that these gunners had been commanding with command flags from the beginning. He wanted to take out the command flags, but in a panic, the command flags fell to the ground.
Wang Qiong helped him pick it up, then put his hand on his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, An Bian Bo, we will definitely win this battle."
Wang Qiong is still knowledgeable. of.
As long as the people of Duoyan Sanwei dare to get close to the city, within the range of the Fo Lang machine gun, and send the shells to the enemy camp, this battle will be a sure win, even if they are discovered later. The opponent's lineup was still intact and they did not send troops to pursue, and the result was very stable.
Now I am afraid that Zhu Feng and his soldiers will cause chaos.
"Who gave you the confidence?" Ren Liang poured cold water on the side.
Ren Liang was also very nervous.
If the Duoyan Three Guards were not limited to driving back the Ming Dynasty army, but came directly to attack the city, it would be too late for the two hundred cavalry to come back and close the city gate at the critical moment. It would be bad if we could only rely on the inner city gate to block the situation.
"Preparation"
At the critical moment, Wang Qiong still takes the lead.
The twelve cannons have all pointed their barrels at the enemy position.
Wang Qiong patted Zhu Feng on the shoulder again, meaning that you should take the first shot yourself. Zhu Feng seemed to have finally found comfort and support at the critical moment. He first used a torch to fire the cannon in front of him. ignite.
"Go away and don't explode"
After Zhu Feng lit the fire, he also ordered the people around him to disperse.
Ren Liang and others had already hid far away before he could remind them, but Wang Qiong did not leave and seemed to want to fight alongside him.
"Bang"
The first shot was fired in front of everyone's eyes, and a black thing erupted from the barrel. Just from the angle and initial velocity, the city Anyone who has ever seen sex feels different.
The black cannonball, in full view of everyone, formed a wonderful parabola in the air, and then landed next to the Duoyan cavalry.
Not accurate
It seems to be reasonable. When the cavalry rushes in, it is impossible to line up to bombard you. Are the cavalry of the Duoyan Three Guards unprepared? Even if you think your artillery has insufficient range due to experience, you should be prepared for the recently frightening "Mighty Sky Gunpowder". If the Ming Dynasty buries this thing outside the city, we are not looking for death if we stand together
As cannonballs After landing.
Although it didn’t hit anyone directly.
But then there was a dazzling fire, followed by a "boom".
I saw a huge fire exploding on the spot where the cannonball landed, and with the fire, in addition to dust and smoke, there were also horses and soldiers who were directly blown away. The lead bullets and stones knocked the cavalrymen dozens or even hundreds of meters away from their horses. Although some cavalrymen were outside the affected area, they still fell down together with their horses.
"Wow"
Just this one shot stunned the panic-stricken soldiers on top of the city.
The air seemed to be quiet for a while.
Time seems to have stopped.
The Ming cavalry who were preparing to enter the city were crowded at the city gate. They were temporarily distracted because of the appearance of this scene. It seemed that everyone had forgotten that their next goal should be to escape
Are you sure you want to enter the city gate?
"Bang bang bang bang"
Just before everyone came out of the shock of the explosion, another person on the top of the city Eleven cannons fired almost simultaneously.
Six or seven of the rounds used blooming bullets, while the rest used shotgun shells.
Before the eleven shells hit the ground, Zhu Feng waved the command flag again and shouted "Change the bombs"
There were about fifty or sixty soldiers in charge of firing the cannons. They are not ordinary frontier soldiers, not even soldiers from the Beijing camp, but Jin Yiwei carefully selected by Dongchang. They are at least at the level of a small banner. They usually show off their power and are awesome. The key is In fact, there can be no ambiguity.
And after many times of training, they know best what they are here to do.
In fact, before Zhu Feng could give the order, after the shot was fired, two people were already carrying the heavy "magazine" to replace it.
In just a blink of an eye, the soldiers on the city gate tower were equipped with the second round of artillery magazines.
At this time.
The shells that were released had just landed.
"Boom"
The cannon will explode the moment it comes out of the chamber, and it will also explode when it hits the ground. There are not only explosive shells, but also shotshells.
The cavalrymen of Duoyan Sanwei have seen what "the goddess scatters flowers" means. When they find that the cannonballs are coming towards them, they basically don't need to hide, they can just wait for death.
Because there is no place to hide and the coverage is too large, I can only hope that my helmet is hard enough to block a fatal blow.
But it seems
it is just a luxury.
"Boom"
Every time there was an explosion, a mass of cavalry fell around them. At this time, they were still nearly two miles away from the city gate, which was within the range of their crossbows. It was still far away, so that many cavalry were directly "hit head-on" in the charge, leaving no room or room for reaction and turning.
During a charge, it is impossible to turn around on the spot, otherwise the cavalry that continues to charge will hit you.
But after a round of volleys, luckily he was not hit, or the area of impact was not large, and he was not killed but only injured. He thought he could escape by chance, and was ready to take advantage of the situation to retaliate or escape in the next round. The shells were flying towards him from the air again
"This"
Ren Liang had already hid in the city gate building. After he saw the two salvoes, , when the cavalrymen of Duoyan's three guards had been blown off their backs, he had already come out of the city gate tower and stoodIn front of Zhu Feng.
"Let go"
Zhu Feng's face was red at this time, and he could not care about anything at this time due to cerebral congestion. In his eyes, the only thing he could do was to quickly put all five wheels together. Finished shooting.
There are only so many shells.
And Zhang Zhou said that it is unlikely that the chamber will explode within five rounds, but if it happens after five rounds, it is not certain.
Zhang Zhou only started working on this thing after the anniversary. The fine steel gun body consumes a lot of material. Zhang Zhou’s coal mine has not yet opened, let alone the iron ore that cannot be cast. It is not easy to fire these cannons. Generally speaking, it can fire five rounds and 60 rounds of cannons, which is a good effort.
If these sixty rounds of artillery shells do not achieve the desired effect, then we might as well huddle in the city and wait for the three guards of Duoyan to escape.
When Wang Qiong saw Ren Liang coming, he covered his ears with one hand and said loudly with the other hand, "Have the cavalry from the other city gates gone out?"
Ren Liang was startled, and then grabbed Qian Ying. "Are you out?"
"This"
Qian Ying was also confused by the question.
When it was time to make tea, he couldn't adapt to this change. He wanted to say, where do I know where to go?
"Pingjiang Bo"
Wang Joan yelled.
Chen Rui had already put on his armor with the help of his generals. "Don't worry, Mr. Wang, the general will go to lead the troops right away."
Wang Qiong wanted to say, you have already Why are you going?
Earlier, the cavalry went out of the city to form an array, but it seemed that not even a decent general followed them. The point is, they were all afraid of death
There were only cavalry with no status, first of all They were ordered to go out and be used as cannon fodder. Now looking under the city gate tower, the soldiers were no longer squeezing to escape inside the city gate, but were squeezing desperately out of the city gate. The cavalry on the other side of the city gate was because Blocked by the city wall, they didn't know what was happening outside, but they felt that the direction of the city gate seemed to be empty
"Bang Bang Bang"
The artillery salvo continued middle.
The cavalry of Duoyan's three guards were also brave and good at fighting, but they were also beaten by the sudden cannonballs and couldn't find their way north.
After three rounds of volleys, the cavalry of Duoyan's three guards had to retreat.
Nothing can block the power of Ming Dynasty artillery shells, not even heavy shields.
When the soldiers of Duoyan Sanwei watched their companions being blown to pieces, they seemed to understand the experience and state of mind of the Fire Sieve Division in Piantou Pass City. It was really
Not in the same era, nor in the same magnitude.
They are like a group of children holding sticks, facing the Ming Dynasty's tiger and wolf divisions.
The soldiers and horses of Duoyan Sanwei didn’t know how many rounds the Ming Dynasty’s artillery could fire.
All they knew was that they could only retreat quickly to avoid the range of the Ming Dynasty artillery.
Right now, they don’t care about anything else except saving their lives.
Honor and shame seem to be meaningless compared with fate.
If it is a frontal bloody battle, you can still fight for honor. If it is a cannonball falling from the sky, you can die with honor more heroically or be blown up and the body is torn apart more evenly
花Yan Sanwei's cavalry, how brave they were when charging, how embarrassed they were when they fled for their lives in a panic. Many of them were not dismounted by bombs, but simply turned their horses' heads too quickly, causing their horses to roll over, and some were killed by their companions. Horses and bodies stumbled, and many collided with each other.
There were only sixty rounds of artillery shells, which could not fully cover them. formed by trampling on each other.
"Mr. Wang, I'll leave this to you, I'm going into battle." After Zhu Feng issued the order to fire out all five rounds of artillery shells, he handed the flag to Wang Qiong while he himself was wearing armor.
Wang Qiong did not expect Zhu Feng to be so responsible.
"Uncle Anbian, you don't have to go in person," Wang Qiong reminded.
Wang Qiong deliberately looked around when he spoke. Except for Ren Liang, who was still standing there dumbly as if he had not recovered, all the generals in the city who could ride horses went down to the tower to organize their troops to pursue Duo. The remnants of the Yan tribe were defeated.
Even Zhang Yanling was dragged out of the city by Chen Rui.
Chengtou, which was originally very lively, is now a bit deserted.
Zhu Feng said, "As a commander, if you can't take the lead, how can you ask the soldiers?"
After saying that, Zhu Feng picked up his musket and saber, and led his men down the tower. .
"Quickly, follow him." Ren Liang lay in front of the battlement and looked outside with a telescope for a long time. He turned around and found that Zhu Feng was not there. He saw that Zhu Feng had already descended to the top of the city, so he quickly grabbed two soldiers and said .
He wanted someone to stop Zhu Feng.
"Mr. Ren, what does this mean?" the soldier was puzzled.
Ren Liang saw that Zhu Feng had climbed onto his horse, and without caring about anything else, he ordered, "Bring our horse here"
Wang Qiong saw this scene from the side and just sneered. Not even a word.
It seems that Wang Qiong knows Ren Liang’s intentions
The probability of winning this battle is basically 100%. Even if Ren Liang is not the first to take credit, he will still be on his credit book. , but if Zhu Feng, the coach of this battle, encounters an accident, and Zhu Feng is the "top horse" of Zhang Zhou, a close minister trusted by the emperor, then it will be up to you whether Ren Liang will take credit or demerit.
From Ren Liang's point of view, Zhu Feng must be tied up in the city now. Only in this way can he be sure to get the credit.
But Zhu Feng seems to be regardless of all this. Having experienced the battle at Piantou Pass, he is not a novice in charging into battle. After these two battles, he seems to be more mature and stable, and he is more mature and stable in leading troops. There was no hesitation when leaving the city.
Just after Zhu Fenggang led some of his troops out of the city gate, Ren Liang also led his people out of the city.
The pursuit began.
This is simply a competition for credit. Those who leave the city late and have weak legs are naturally at a disadvantage in terms of credit., especially those who left the city first, had already reached the enemy camp and chopped off the heads of those Di Yi who were lying on the ground or running on their legs.
As the deputy commander-in-chief, Zhang Yanling left the city relatively early.
Although he had deliberately slowed down his horse speed, he still rushed into the enemy camp relatively early. There happened to be an unlucky man lying on the ground pretending to be dead. After being discovered by him, he rode directly towards him. After trampling the man with his horse's hooves a few times, he excitedly pulled out his sword and chopped off the man's head.
"Uncle Jianchang, be careful"
But at this moment, a large number of Zhu Feng's cavalry also rushed over.
The Duoyan cavalry who had been bombed first and then trampled on the ground had lost their resistance, but at the critical moment they burst out with a strong will to survive. Taking advantage of Zhang Yanling's inexperience in drawing his sword, he had already taken advantage of him. The sabers scattered on the ground were clenched in his hand, and he climbed up with difficulty to chop Zhang Yanling.
If it were an ordinary soldier, the opponent would have no strength at all. He would not let the opponent succeed at this moment. Even if he turned around and ran away, this person would not have the chance to chop himself with the knife.
But Zhang Yanling was not that good, and he got into a fight with his own saber.
The more anxious you are, the harder it is to pull out the knife.
Fortunately, Zhu Feng led his troops to charge over at this time. After all, Zhu Feng was from the Wuxun family, so he was still much stronger than Zhang Yanling. He used his horse to knock over the Duoyan soldier. This time, the Duoyan soldier lay on the ground completely unable to fight back.
Zhu Feng did not compete with Zhang Yanling for credit and moved on.
After Zhang Yanling experienced the scene just now, he was so frightened that he almost lost his mind. He originally wanted to go out and fish in troubled waters, but now he gave up any intention of achieving any military exploits.
"Uncle, thank you for your contribution"
The thugs brought by Zhang Yanling arrived at this time. They didn't even have armor on them, but they did not forget to "slaughter a man with his own hands." The credit for "Di Yi" is left to Zhang Yanling.
They also understood that if Zhang Yanling, who was on the battlefield for the first time, could kill a Tatar with his own hands, he would be able to brag about it for a lifetime.
"Hold and hold"
Zhang Yanling saw that the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were all around him, so he was no longer afraid. He got off the horse with his sword and kicked the man first. "You are so brave. You want to kill me and see if I kill you."
The Duoyan soldier looked hopeless.
But he was very contemptuous of Zhang Yanling.
It’s a shame that someone who can’t even hold a knife will die in the hands of such a person.
Zhang Yanling swung his knife and slashed at him. He originally intended to chop at the neck, but missed the opponent's helmet. The opponent was fine, and his knife was curled up instead.
"Master, you can use this villain's sword"
Zhang Yanling and a bunch of his men surrounded a Duoyan cavalry who was unable to resist. After a lot of effort, Only then did he finally "saw" off the man's head.
"Uncle Jianchang, have you ever seen Uncle Anbian?"
Ren Liang came with a group of cavalry.
Zhang Yanling pointed to the front and said, "We just passed by. Eunuch Ren, I won't chase you anymore. This is a credit to you."
Ren Liang was too lazy to pay attention and led his men to continue chasing.
Zhang Yanling's stomach was still full of meat and vegetables because he had just beheaded someone else, but his subordinates were very happy to hold up the head and said, "You have done a good job."
