Chapter 487: Master Zhang's Divine Shot!

The shouts of the siege in the distance came through the cowhide tents, but no one in the military tent dared to make the slightest sound, lest they anger the iron-faced Arutai in front of him. Two sturdy men were wiping the blood on their chests and backs with white cloths, the middle-aged military doctor next to them kept whispering, and the others were all pale.

There was only one breath left when the previous person sent it back, although the people around him quickly cut off the exposed arrow feathers, and on the battlefield, they used sharp knives to cut the swollen rotten flesh around the wound, and took out the arrows trapped in the flesh, and sucked out the bruises, but the blue triangular shape of the arrow still made everyone gasp. As a last resort, the military doctor had to use the best method available now. He had a cow killed, dissected the belly of the cow and removed the organs, and then placed his son in the belly of the cow, but after a night, the tried and tested methods had no effect, and he was still unconscious.

"Haven't you been fed the detoxification soup, why haven't you woken up yet!"

There is a saying in the Central Plains called ten years of sharpening a sword, since the defeat in the pro-government of the Ming Emperor only to be spared, Arutai has been reluctant to recover his strength silently for ten years, and when he was about to make a big move, he didn't expect to encounter such a big setback in this small Xinghe. Not to mention that a siege vehicle that was easily saved is gone, even the eldest son was pierced by cold arrows, and now he is dying. At this time, he screamed, and his heart was full of anger.

"Taishi, this is not an ordinary arrow, nor is it an ordinary poison!" The middle-aged man was the best military doctor in the army, and he quickly stood up at this time, "I have dealt with countless arrow wounds and knife wounds, but I have never seen an arrow like this!" If the eldest prince hadn't been hit by a poisoned arrow in his early years, and he had some resistance after taking the antidote, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to do it now! Because this is a three-edged arrow, although those who sent it back after the arrow were dealt with in time, the eldest prince shed too much blood, I am afraid it ......"

"Say no more!"

The furious Arutai turned around and slammed the curtain out of the military tent, and when he saw a few bruised guards kneeling on the snow, he couldn't help but be even more angry, and immediately shouted: "I chose you to follow the loss, and you are using such loyalty to repay my promotion?" What kind of warrior is it that even the master can't protect, it's just a shame! Come on, cut off their heads, and reduce their families to slaves! ”

The guards had been frozen to death, and they could barely say anything at this time, and when a dozen or so personal soldiers came up to take them down, one of them finally shouted tremblingly: "Master, it's not that we don't do our best!" At least four hundred paces away from the city, Yelilu had already stood in front of the eldest prince when the arrow came, but the arrow actually pierced him and hit the eldest prince! If the Taishi doesn't believe it, there is still an arrow that hits two people in a row! ”

"Wait!"

Hearing this, Arutai immediately stopped his own soldiers, stepped forward and asked the rest of the guards again. When everyone unanimously said that it was indeed an arrow piercing the two of them, his brows immediately tightened, and the original anger gradually turned into suspicion. He had just attacked Xinghe with his army before, and although he did not succeed in capturing the city that time, he had also killed a lot of people, so he had received information that Xinghe now had only six or seven hundred people, and he had no doubts at all.

But something seems to be wrong. First, Seleben said that when he chased to the city, he encountered a firearm blockade, then the siege vehicle was destroyed by an unknown firearm, and then his eldest son, who was the heaviest of his life, was seriously injured and died...... There are also strong bows in the Mongolian army, but at most they can only shoot 150 to 200 steps, and the range of the divine arm bow in the Song Dynasty in the past is about 300 steps......

Wait, Camp Divine Machine!

Thinking of such a possibility, Arutai suddenly couldn't care about the guards anymore, turned around and entered the military tent. Hurriedly came to the front of the pinched dry, and saw that the military doctor was busy sweating profusely but still couldn't wake people up, he couldn't help but grab it, and asked in a deep voice: "What about the arrows and arrow tails that came up before?" ”

The middle-aged military doctor hurriedly opened the box next to him, and presented the arrows and arrow tails that had been cut off with both hands. Arutai snatched it and looked at it carefully from beginning to end for a moment, and then noticed a line of small words that were clearly visible at the end of the arrow.

Tianzi Wu Shiqi number, Yongle Shijiu year Qiyue is made every day.

For the terrible memory of the defeat in the battle of Kuluan Haizi, Arutai has been haunted by it until now. At that time, it was true that Zhu Di personally led the cavalry to fight him and he only cared about fleeing for his life, but if it wasn't for the Shenji Battalion to disrupt the formation, he would not have lost so quickly. Now that he saw that this arrow had just been produced, and that the number was even so high, he suddenly had no doubts. After a moment of trembling, he immediately regained his ruthless nature.

Although he couldn't inquire clearly about the movement of the Ming army, he at least knew some rumors, and the movement of the brigade was still in the pass at this time. Now it seems that he was really forced to be dizzy by the chieftains of the major clans at that time, if he could provoke Zhu Di to let him go on the expedition in the autumn, as long as it dragged on for a while, the wind and snow could trap the emperor to death! Even if Xinghe has more than six or seven hundred people, the number of soldiers is still limited, if he captures it, he will get not only food, but also firearms of the Ming army!

He really missed the good time when Meng Yuan drove a large number of craftsmen from the Central Plains, since he retreated into the grassland, not only the luxury goods from the Central Plains have disappeared, but most of the firearms have been seized from the Ming army, and the craftsmen who can make them are almost extinct. If this situation continues, the noble Mongols will forever become the Tartars of the Central Plains!

Just as Arutai made up his mind, a deafening shout suddenly came from outside, and the word "divine shooting" could be vaguely heard from time to time. With a big heart, he immediately bent down and walked out of the military tent, only to see that the guards were still being held by his own soldiers just now, and these people were also looking in the direction of Xinghe Fort. Seeing this, he was immediately annoyed, and hurriedly ordered someone to find out what was going on.

"Report! Taishi, Xinghe Fort is a magic shot! ”

While Xinghe Fort was ushering in another wave of offensives, the wounded at the west end of the city were laboriously digging a large pit to bury the corpse of Paoze. In this kind of cold and freezing weather, the soil on the ground has long been frozen to the point of hard erection, and almost every time the head goes down, the force of the shock can shake people's wrists numb. However, listening to the shouts of killing in their ears, no one complained.

Before the enemy invaded the city again, they managed to do one thing, and that was to go out of the city and find the bodies of the dead soldiers under the watchtower sentry, under the siege engine, which was completely dilapidated and unusable. However, due to the huge explosive power of the grenade, no one could recognize which one was the king's call. And at this time, no one can bear to let these people who no longer recognize their original faces be exposed, so they can only be buried hastily temporarily, and then there may be no more effort.

Zhang Yue did not have time to mourn Wang Zhao, he did not fully understand the reason for the veteran's personal adventure, but this did not prevent him from admiring Wang Zhao's courage in person at that time. At first, he thought that the cavalry siege was a joke, and the cavalry siege on a snowy day was even more of a joke, but who would have thought that the opponent would really get a siege engine with a huge threat? If it weren't for the sharp firearms, if it weren't for the surprise attack of the dead soldiers, I'm afraid that what was waiting for them would be the city immediately ruined and died, although the result was not much better now.

Because almost all of these Mongol soldiers who rushed up were crazy!

On the west wall, arrows rained down, and the clanging of arrows and shields could be heard everywhere. Although the attack below was extremely fierce, there were no large siege vehicles, and even if there were trebuchets on the grassland, no suitable stones could be found, so the only way to come and go was to attack the city through ladders. Despite this, there was no such large equipment as trebuchets in the city, and by the time the first few attacks were first launched, all the oil lime had been used up, and the arrows were almost depleted, so firearms became the sharpest weapons.

The gunpowder is sufficient, and the matching projectiles are also sufficient, but the personnel who will make the musket are not sufficient after all. Seeing that the siege team was dense and there was no end in sight, and there were still more than a dozen new handcuffs left that no one called, Zhang Yue remembered that he had run to the Ordnance Bureau during the previous redress of the Jingying Jingwei, and even had a few test shots accompanied by those craftsmen, and couldn't help but be moved. He had the intention to carry a knife to fight in person, but although Peng Shisan was not there, Xiang Long and Liu Bao looked at him firmly every inch, and that posture seemed to be that unless it really came to the point of a moment, he would not want to be strong.

So, Zhou Bailing, who was braving the rain of arrows at the head of the city to supervise the battle, easily found a gap to enter the arrow tower, and saw Zhang Yue shooting out of the arrow hole with a handcuff at a glance. Startled, he saw Xiang Long and Liu Bao carefully filling the gunpowder behind him, and couldn't help but touch his chin thoughtfully, and waited until Zhang Yue had finished firing a shot before stepping forward.

"Looking at Lord Xiao Zhang's posture, I probably used this thing in the Ordnance Bureau, right?"

"I knew that today, I should have practiced my head well."

Don't mention the regret in Zhang Yue's heart. He thought that this was similar to modern target shooting, but he shot many times on the martial arts field of the Ordnance Bureau, and was stunned to find that although the range of the handcuff was within 100 steps, it was really difficult to shoot accurately, so after more than a dozen target shots, he didn't spend more time on it, who knew that now he can only use this.

"Hey, don't be presumptuous, it's a fluke that we were able to shoot yesterday, there are archers in this army, but there has never been a sharpshooter, just because this thing is not easy to grasp. By the way, I don't know who the spear shot yesterday, but now it's so exciting that the tartar screams. Since you can use a handcuff, why don't you try a sharpshooter, anyway, there is no chance like yesterday. The Tartars are on guard, and I'm afraid that there will never be a dignitary standing so close again, but ordinary soldiers killing one is one! ”

Hearing this, seeing Zhou Bailing standing next to him picking up the water bag and drinking for a while, Zhang Yue's heart moved, and then he turned around and took out a magic gun that showed his power yesterday in the box on the side. Loaded with iron and wood and arrows in front, he filled the medicine room with a medicine spoon and filled the gunpowder, and then he came to the arrow hole with a wooden fork, rested the spear on the wooden fork, and then glanced at a strong man holding a black silk two or three hundred paces away. Although he knew that the chances of the arrow working, he squinted his eyes for a long time before lighting the fuse.

Bang –

Due to the powerful force of gunpowder, this off-string arrow crossed the besieging army in an instant, and headed straight for the direction of the black daku. However, when that arrow finally hit a certain target, even Zhang Yue himself was dumbfounded.

The big man with the big silk was safe and sound, but the black flag painted with a white eagle was actually pierced by the arrow!

Zhou Bailing almost choked on a mouthful of water at this time, and laughed out loud: "Lord Xiao Zhang really shoots amazingly!" ”
