Freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and it is related to the fortune of the country. and even the decision of the direction of the nation. It can't be decided overnight, someone pats their heads.

In fact, in the last years of the first emperor Jiajing. Even back to when Hu Zongxian was still the governor of the southeast, Shen Mo took advantage of the victory of the anti-Japanese war and began to try to lobby the bigwigs of the DPRK and China, taking the repetition as the next strategic goal.

However, Xu Jie, who was in power at that time, did not support repetition. He believes that the killing of Xia Yan and Zeng Mo that year has proved that this matter cannot be done. To this day, it cannot be restored and does not have to be restored. Therefore, he resolutely disagreed with this move, and implied that he was silent, and he would die if he was belligerent" This is also one of the reasons why Xu Jie firmly supported Zhang Juzheng later, which led to the master and apprentice being in the same situation.

But silence is not alone, generous and responsible, Haojie's self-promised high arch is resolutely supported, and repeated when conditions permit; And the Shanxi Gang, after consultation, also chose to stand on his side...... This is the beginning of the honeymoon period between Shen Mo and Yang Bo and the improvement of the relationship between the Southeast Gang and the Shanxi Gang.

This pattern of two families and a powerful figure competing against the only big guy greatly influenced every ebb and flow in the early years of Longqing. In the end, after a series of battles, the good tiger couldn't stand the wolves, the only big guy took a curtain call, and the Ming Dynasty entered the two major forces to set up the stage. A new stage of a strongman singing. So the plan that linked them together was naturally implemented.

In fact, before this, the entire plan had been repeatedly revised and drafted, and the corresponding intelligence work had been carried out several years in advance. After determining the plan to attack Ordos, the Military Intelligence Department was born from the Zhenfu Division, and began to focus on the infiltration of Ordos City, and after the earthquake last year, they learned that the city wall was damaged as soon as possible. As soon as he heard that he needed to repair it, he immediately asked the all-powerful Jin merchants in Jiubian to "secure a subcontract for the construction line they controlled in Bansheng." Because the Mongols were desperately short of craftsmen and were not good at civil construction, the previous repairs to Jinong City had to be completed by hiring craftsmen and people from the bansheng.

Under the strong operational ability of Jinshang. This construction team, controlled by agents of the Military Intelligence Department, became one of the five construction teams hired to restore Jinong City, responsible for repairing a section of the city wall nearly 300 zhang to the west. Ironically, when they carefully mixed the raw materials of explosives in the convoy and smuggled them under the city of Jinong, they found that the Mongols were unsuspecting. I didn't think of it at all...... These good friends, they came with bad intentions.

Under the watchful eye of the Mongols, "the workers, who were doing their normal work during the day and working at night, filled hundreds of explosive packets disguised as adobe bricks" into the cracks in the walls. The explosives were wrapped in oiled paper soaked in tung oil to prevent moisture from the adobe from entering, and then sealed with real bricks, turning the entire section of the wall into a huge bomb...... In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, the Military Intelligence Department conducted an experiment in an abandoned city in Shanxi. It was found that not much explosives were needed. As long as the rigidity of the location and confined space is good enough, the seemingly impregnable wall can be torn down.

The ancient people couldn't have imagined that the Han people would use such a trick, where could they be guarded against? Although on the day of acceptance, they carefully inspected the quality of the city wall, but the personnel of the Military Intelligence Department did not cut corners, and no matter how meticulous the inspection, it was impossible to peel off the built city wall, so naturally it was impossible to find out the materials in it.

So there was a scene where Lu Gang offered the strategy of breaking the city before, and the Ming army attacked this area of the west city wall at all costs......

…… 凵"......"......"......","","...... 1. ","","","","......","","...... 1. "......" ...... 1,","","1,1,","一......"When the city bricks were finally broken and the blast hole reserved by the Military Intelligence Department was found, the soldiers of the Ming army immediately stuffed the prepared explosives packets, lit the fuse, and all retreated like a tide......

The Mongolian army in the city did not know it, and when they saw that the Ming army had installed a few small explosive packs, they were so frightened that they retreated, and they couldn't help but look at each other, only a little carefully, and then quickly fell to the ground but in vain......

After a short ten seconds, the world suddenly seemed to stand still for a moment, and then with the sound of an explosion that shook the sky and the earth cracked, the terrifying shock wave tossed the creatures within a radius of miles to the ground, stones, dirt, weapons, and even people were thrown into the sky by the air flow from nowhere, and huge clouds of smoke and dust rose and covered everyone's vision.

Qi Jiguang's command platform was still far away, and he clung to the railing, and finally stood in front of him, but his ears were buzzing, and he was stunned by the terrifying explosion for a while. But soon he came to his senses, staring at the front of the smoke and dust with wide eyes, and when the dust gradually fell, he saw that there was a gap of more than 100 zhang in that section of the city wall.

Qi Jiguang slapped his palm on the railing and said, "Drumming!" The drums of war that urged people to move forward sounded on the battlefield, and the troops preparing to attack the city got up from the ground one after another, and saw that the city wall in front of them had collapsed inward for a long time, and the soldiers were greatly excited and followed their respective officers. The tide rushed through the six remaining pontoon bridges towards the gap.

The Mongol army was the defender of the city, and naturally suffered much more damage than the Ming army, so much so that the charge began. There are good Mongolian soldiers up and down the nearby city wall, and they are still struggling to get up.

Such a wide gap seems to announce that the Mongols' walls have been lost, and they can only retreat to the city to engage in street fighting......

However, when the brave soldiers rushed to the breach of the city wall and "prepared to rush into the city", they found a flock of white huāhuā sheep pouring out of the gap.

This makes many clever soldiers a little stunned, not to mention because of Qi Jiguang's recruitment standards. Qi Jiajun is a pure and good peasant background, to put it bluntly, he has developed limbs and a simple mind. I saw a dense flock of sheep pouring out in front of me. The soldiers who had already made up their minds to die in battle actually stopped. As the best military strategist, Qi Jiguang listed in detail all possible situations on the battlefield in "Records of Military Training" and told the officers and soldiers how to deal with them. Long. The officers and men of the Qi family army have become accustomed to dealing with various situations according to the methods taught by the officers.

However, even Qi Jiguang could not have imagined that the Mongolian army would use this method to plug the gap in the city wall...... I saw hundreds of Mongolian cavalry in the city. Desperately twitching the horsewhip in his hand, shouting loudly to drive the sheep forward. The sheep were a precious property of the Ordos tribe, and after receiving the news of the invasion of the Ming army, the people drove them to the city to escape the fighting. But now, with Zhong Jin Beji's order, they have to contribute it to add to the blockage. However, everyone knows that once Jinong City is captured, all the cattle and sheep will be robbed by the Ming army. At this time, no one is selfish anymore. It's all just to be able to plug the shortage. "Give the defenders of the city a chance to regroup their defenses and turn the tide of the tide!

The initiator of all this, Princess Zhongjin of Ordos, was riding on a horse at the moment, watching nervously at the situation in front of her in the rear, although she expected that the Ming army had a plan to break the city, but she did not expect that the other party could directly overturn the city wall and gather her under the city. The five hundred warriors who were ready to respond directly crushed most of them to death. If it weren't for the fact that she had moved away from the city walls in order to gather her flock. I'm afraid I'm not immune.

Now there is no one to go up for the time being, "I can only ask these sheep warriors......

Why use sheep instead of horses or oxen, because sheep can walk on the ground where there are no roads, and will not be stopped by the ruins of the city walls.

In the face of the innocent sheep that poured out like a tide and screamed, the Ming soldiers hesitated. In their hands is the most advanced Longqing style. The first bullet that can be fired at any time is so important. It's even about whether or not you can take the city wall. How can it be used to hunt sheep? And there are so many sheep, you can't beat them. I could only stab myself with the bayonet on the gun.

However, the Mongols lack everything, that is, there is no shortage of cattle and sheep", and the flock of sheep gushing out is so great that it is really as difficult to stop as a tide. Even the Mandarin Duck Formation, which the Qi family army relied on to become famous, couldn't stop this mighty flock of sheep. In an instant. People and sheep were mixed together, and the chaos of the scene was incomparable, which made Zhang Yuanxun, the commander of the former army, vomit blood directly in frustration. More and more sheep poured out, and the front ones jumped in front of the moat, but the back ones were driven out" but the Ming army was squeezed involuntarily to retreat to the pontoon bridge, and many were carried by the sheep. Completely dizzy. The worst thing is that those who rushed into the city desperately, and found that the city was still an endless flock of sheep, and they had the urge to commit suicide by swallowing a gun.

"Ring gold now! …… Zhang Yuanxun's black face turned into an iron green road: "Request artillery support!" …… The sound of the golden gong sounded, and the soldiers on the bridge retreated in frustration, "This is the first time that the Qi family's army has retreated." It was not repulsed by the enemy, but forced by a flock of sheep.

At this time, the sharp whistle of the preparation for the shelling also sounded. The soldiers in the moat, who can swim and pull the water, can't swim. Desperately swam back, as for the Ming army still trapped in the flock. I can only try to protect the vital point, lying on the ground and begging for a miracle.

The rumbling cannons soon rang out, and the cannonballs whizzed into the flocks of sheep, firing huā shells, grape shells. and expensive copper-shelled fire oil bombs, which don't pour down like money. In the blink of an eye, black smoke was thick, fires broke out everywhere, and sheep corpses were everywhere. The flock is frightened. They fled along the city walls in a panic, and many jumped into the water, and the sheep could not swim after they had grown their winter hair. He soon drowned. The light of fire and death made the tame sheep finally no longer obey, and let the malaria herdsmen drive them. Nor is it a step forward.

Run away from the front. The army of sheep in the gap in the city wall finally turned into a corpse of sheep, emitting bursts of roast aroma.

At this time, the excellent shooting instructors of the Ming army came into play. They commanded the artillery. Extend the range into the city and use the fire bombs to suppress the Mongol sheep troops and prevent them from repeating their old tricks...... Due to the limited amount of fuel filled, the lethal effect of the fire oil bombs carefully developed by military factories is not very good, and the threat to active targets is very average. So I only brought a small number of them, ready to set a fire or something. Who knew that it was this kind of flashy thing, but it came in handy...... Animals are afraid of fire after all. What's more, a sheep with long hair?

At the same time, he did not forget the walls on both sides of the gap, and the cannonballs whistled up, suppressing the enemy troops at the head of the city and covering their own side to launch a second attack.

The organizational skills of the Qi family's army were perhaps only matched by the Spanish royal infantry in the far west, at least in the Asian range, they were unmatched. Soon it regrouped and was led by three thousand households to attack the city. Zhang Yuanxun personally supervised the battle with a sword. If he can't take it off this time, he will really wipe his neck with his backhand.

The Ming army made a comeback, and the humiliation of Fang Cai made them angry, and the pride of the Qi family army did not allow another defeat, and the soldiers screamed one by one, rushed across the pontoon bridge with red eyes, stepped on the thick sheep corpse, and rushed to the ruins of the city wall.

一,一一,一,一"一,一,一,一"一"一,一,一"一,一"一,壹"一

At this time, the defenders of the city were suppressed by intensive artillery fire, and they couldn't lift their heads, and the sheep were frightened by the fire oil bombs.

As soon as the artillery fire at the gap stopped, it poured out from both sides, blocking the Ming army that had just rushed across the pontoon bridge, and fired at them with bows and arrows. The Ming army returned fire. Both sides were thirty paces apart, and both were within the other's killing distance, and both inflicted great damage on each other.

Since the beginning of the war, the bows and arrows that the Mongol army relied on for survival have been defeated in the face of the new muskets of the Ming army, but the time has not yet come for them to withdraw from the stage of history, at least in the hands of the Mongols who have shot at each other. Their accurate hits and rapid rate of fire are incomparable to those of muskets.

Ming soldiers, after firing a shot. There was no chance to fire a second shot, so they could only rush forward desperately, fighting for the enemy hand-to-hand, but the Mongolian shooters were able to shoot the second and third arrows. The depression and hatred for the invaders accumulated since the beginning of the war were added to the wolf's fangs and arrows, and every time the bowstring sounded, only a Ming soldier fell to the ground with a muffled grunt. At a distance where you can see the mole on the opponent's face, the armor can't resist the damage of this armor-piercing arrow.

The Mongol troops on the walls on both sides also braved the artillery fire overhead, firing downward with bows and arrows and earthen cannons to support the defense. The casualties of the Ming army were innumerable"...... If it were replaced by an ordinary Ming army, it would inevitably retreat under such a dense array of arrows.

However. Their opponent is not the ordinary Ming army, but the world-famous Qi family army!

Twelve years ago, Qi Jiguang formed this special army in the southeast, and since then, they have been closely associated with this glorious name, and under his light, they have fought for more than ten years, and they have won more than 100 battles, and they have never been defeated! Although the soldiers of today are not the faces of the past, such an army has produced a military spirit like a furnace, transforming every simple peasant who throws himself into it into an excellent soldier with iron will, fearless courage, and strict discipline!

Now, they are not facing the Japanese invaders, but the Tartars who are a hundred times more harmful to the Ming Dynasty! Enough for them to endure the sacrifice. Climb up the hill-like ruins. A fearless charge was launched! Although the Mongols' bows and arrows were still accurate and intensive. However, the Qi family army has rich combat experience, especially this kind of foot combat with complex terrain, and they seem to have returned to the rugged and difficult mountains in the southeast, flexibly hiding and dodging. While minimizing sacrifices. Advancing rapidly.

Finally, the advance approached, and the Mongols' bows and arrows could no longer be used, so they drew their scimitars one after another, and fought with the spears and bayonets of the Ming army with red eyes. The Mongols have superb sword skills, strong martial arts, and are stronger than the Ming army in individual combat, but the tactical literacy of the Qi family army is extremely high, although the arrows and stones are all over the head, it is difficult to stand firm under the soles of the feet, and they are not the usual partners around them, but they still form a small three-talent formation nearby, cover each other, and cooperate with the enemy.

The two sides fought repeatedly on this section of the 300-zhang city wall, and as more and more people climbed up by the Ming army, the Mongolian army's defense line gradually showed signs of failure.

This change was clearly seen by Qi Jiguang, who was calmly watching the battle. He snatched the drumstick of the drummer next to him and beat the war drum. Seeing the commander playing the drums himself, how dare all the drummers slack off. Desperately beating the skin of the war drum, the blood-pumping sound of the drum spread throughout the battlefield.

The three thousand households who led the troops heard it. Knowing that the commander was urging them, he no longer cared about his own safety, and personally led his troops to the front line and directly met the Mongolian army.

When the soldiers of the Qi family army heard this, they burst out with infinite strength, shouting loudly, and fighting desperately regardless of their lives! Under the sudden strength of the Ming army, the defense line of the Mongolian army was crumbling, and the morale seemed to be affected.

At this critical moment, the Mongolian army on the city wall broke out into earth-shattering cheers, shouting loudly, Zhong Jin Beiji! Zhong Jin Beiji: "It turned out that they saw that the princess of the Ordos Department had already taken off her red cloak, held a double sword, and personally led the Jinong guards to reinforce the gap!"

In the next moment, the Mongolian warriors were unforgettable, and they never expected to see a scene that happened. I saw their grassland pearl, not just bring reinforcements, but directly into the battle, and meet the Ming army with a white blade!

"Protect Begi!" ”。 The men of the Ordos tribe were stunned, ignoring the bayonets on their bodies, and they mustered all their courage to protect their princess. There were even many Mongolian soldiers who jumped down from the city, hugged the Ming army and wrestled and bit on the ground.

Princess Zhongjin personally went into battle to meet the enemy, and the encouragement to the Mongol army was immediate, and the Mongols completely adopted the tactics of fighting for their lives, and the already crumbling defense line gradually stabilized. And more Mongolian warriors. Coming from all directions. actually beat the Qi family's army, who never gave up, and forcibly repelled it.
