Chapter 393 takes the lead

Mao Wenlong listened to Mao Da's words, nodded, and said: "Yes, we showed weakness before and deliberately led the Tartars to attack, so many means were not used, but this time, it is different, many means must be used, and those that should be taken out must be taken out......"

When the generals saw Mao Wenlong talking about business, they also put away their laughter one by one and began to listen to Mao Wenlong seriously.

"......, it's right to use the Franc machine to deal with the arrow tower, the big Buddha Lang machine can play two or three hundred steps, or even farther, the power is quite great, the arrow tower is just made of wood, for the big Buddha Lang machine, and the paper is no different, once hit, it will become powder, before it was not used, the Tartar still thinks that our Zhenjiang Fort only has those sparse household goods before, this time, to give the Tartar a little fierce, Mao Da, the big Buddha Lang machine hidden in the nest are moved into the arrow tower, ready, when the Tartar's arrow tower is almost built, approaching the time to come to the test, Give him a fierce one, concentrate on several Franc machines to hit an arrow tower, and beat that arrow tower into powder for Ben Shuai, Ben Shuai will open his eyes to Tartar and know what is called ferocious...... "Mao Wenlong observed the scene of building an arrow tower in the distance for a while, and then said disapprovingly.

The generals all felt that their handsome man was too perverted, although he also used firearms in the past, although he also took them to fight, although he was also cunning and cunning, but now, there is a little more ferocity, a little more violent, and several Franc machines hit an arrow tower, what is the effect? Thanks to his own handsomeness, he can figure out that this is completely killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys.

"Yes, father...... handsome" Mao Da happily agreed, they Dongjiang Town, there were not as many guys as they are now, they used to rely on a bloody and Tartar to fight to the death, and there is like now, turning tricks to take advantage of the Tartars. In today's Zhenjiang Fort, many means are endless, just waiting for the Tartars to come and experiment one by one, and those that have been tried, such as grenade defense, have been confirmed, these new things, new guys fight Tartars, especially take advantage of it, Mao Nature is indescribably happy.

“…… Staff Officer Zhang, can those new artillery pieces be prepared? Mao Wenlong said to Staff Officer Zhang again.

“…… Don't worry, the commander will not make a mistake, two Hongyi cannons, eight thousand pounds of Franc machinery in place, those gunners who operate the cannons are all trained in His Majesty's new army, just the cannons that have been fired, no less than 100 rounds, are all veteran gunners, when the time comes, where the marshal pointes, the cannon will hit there, and the Tartar will have a good taste of this cannon......" Staff Officer Zhang hurriedly replied, he, an outsider, can gain a firm foothold in Mao Wenlong's Zhenjiang Fort and become a core figure, that is also something to rely on, at least, The salary of Dongjiang Town was issued by the emperor, so the people sent here by the emperor naturally would not embarrass him. However, what really made Zhang Heng gain a firm foothold was those secret weapons, not to mention anything else, just those gunners who operated the cannon were all veterans who had let go more than 100 times, and they had to let go of the cannon 100 times, that is to say, in order to train a gunner, a brand new cannon had to be scrapped, and even a few cannons had to be fed.

“…… Okay, then there is Lao Zhang's staff officer, but now it is not appropriate to use the cannon, you have to let the Tartars feel that the siege is hopeful, and let the Tartars feel that if they work harder, they can capture the city, so that the Tartars will be consumed in this Zhenjiang Fort, hehe, I will wait for the Tartars to attack, and when necessary, sprinkle a handful of salt on the wounds of the Tartars......" Mao Wenlong looked at Zhang Heng, his face smiled, the reason why he Mao Wenlong dared to be involved in the Jedi was also relied on, not a hot-headed run to die.

"It's all up to the commander's orders...... by the way, the marshal, in addition to the original two Hongyi cannons and eight thousand-pound Franc machines, Your Majesty, there will be a batch of new-style artillery, a total of four Hongyi cannons, sixteen thousand-pound Franc machines, together, there are six Hongyi cannons, twenty-four thousand-pound Franc machines, a total of thirty new-style cannons...... Dashuai, so many artillery, there are already more than Jinning back then, hehe, Dashuai, this time will definitely make the Tartars plant a big heel...... Zhang Heng said with a smile.

Mao Wenlong couldn't help nodding his head with a smile when he heard it, his beard was caressed with his hands, his eyes were squinted, what he thought was that he was completely subdued by the emperor and followed the emperor, it seems that he chose the right one, follow this emperor, not to mention anything else, the salary is never short to make him Mao Wenlong work hard, and now it is a new gadget one after another, which is dazzling, and he doesn't have to look at the tartars, Mao Wenlong feels that it is worth it, and he feels that he is satisfied, and he can get the appreciation of a Ming Jun, and he can give a Ming Jun his life, but it is rare to meet. ,

Everyone heard that there were more than a dozen new cannons sent, all of them were overjoyed, these new cannons, hit far, accurate, they had seen the "spectacular" scene of ten cannons firing together, thinking that now there are thirty new cannons, when they think of the scene of these cannons firing together, they feel pity for the Donglu opposite, how can people compete with these things?

“…… Okay, those other things, it seems that there is no need to move out for the time being, hehe, when there is a need, I will trouble Staff Officer Zhang......" Mao Wenlong squinted his eyes and said to Zhang Heng.

"The handsome man is polite, they are all fighting for His Majesty, why do they distinguish each other? If there is something, the marshal only needs to give orders, and it is the duty of the subordinate officials. Zhang Heng hurriedly said.

As he spoke, a breeze blew.

Mao Wenlong sniffed and said, "Why does it still stink?" ”

"Back to my father, the sons have cleaned up several times, but this smell is really big, and it's okay now......" Mao Da said helplessly, this smell is left a few days ago, when the Tartars attacked the city, in order to keep the Tartars, in order to provoke the Tartars, they hung the corpses with their heads cut off outside the city wall, and they began to stink that night, and the next day, they had to throw away these headless corpses, but although they threw away those corpses, but, the dirty blood that seeped into the cracks in the wall on the city wall, It was difficult to wash off for a while, so that in the past few days, the unique smell of decay of dead corpses has always existed.

"......, oh, haven't washed it off yet? If there is a Tartar corpse in the future, deal with it first and then hang it up, don't hang it directly, it will start to stink before it is hung up for a day......," Mao Wenlong complained.

"Yes, father, but our medicine is only enough to deal with human heads, if the corpse capital has to be disposed of, I'm afraid it won't be enough," Mao said with great embarrassment.

"Oh, so? …… In this way, if you get the corpse of the tartar in the future, you will clean it inside, and give it to Ben Shuai to salt it, and then smoke it with firewood, so that if you hang it outside, it will not rot for ten days and half a month, and this day, just dry the corpse into jerky, and it will not rot, and it will not smell weird......" Mao Wenlong said.

"Vomit ......", personally followed, although the generals all came from the sea of blood in the corpse mountain, but when they heard Mao Wenlong's statement, some of them couldn't help but feel nagging and retching.

Zhang Heng listened to Mao Wenlong's "method", only felt goosebumps all over his body, and his heart was nauseous, this Mao Wenlong didn't know how deep his hatred was with the Tartars, so that he even had to use such a means, as soon as he thought of the corpse that hung all over the city wall and dried up, Zhang Heng retched again, but considering his identity, he forcibly endured retching, although he felt uncomfortable, but Zhang Heng also knew that Mao Wenlong's approach was definitely a good thing to attract Tartars to attack the city. Anyone who looks at this "thing" and can calm down is really "not a person".

"What? Are you afraid of this just talking? It's not for you to eat, what are you afraid of? Mao Wenlong saw the embarrassment in his personal generals, and smiled and teased: "...... By the way, that thing has been pickled, smoked with firewood, and dried in the sun, so it must taste good......" Mao Wenlong saw that some people were forced to retch, so he added some ingredients to these people.

"Vomit ......"

"Vomit ......" A few relatives couldn't help it, vomited, hurriedly covered their mouths, and ran to the side to vomit.

"Hahaha......" Mao Wenlong laughed when he saw the embarrassment of his own entourage.

Although there are some relatives around who can't help but retch, most of them still turn a blind eye to what Mao Wenlong said, as if these things are commonplace and normal, how can people who are not crawling out of hell turn a blind eye to these things?

……

Houjin Daying.

Handsome tent.

Huang Taiji defeated Lin Dan Khan in the grassland of western Liaoning, and hurriedly led his men and horses to Zhenjiang Fort, for the Ming army did not hurt a single person, and they Dajin killed and injured two thousand results, Huang Taiji could not believe it, and he would never let Mao Wenlong leave easily, if this time because of difficulties and let Mao Wenlong leave, then what about next time? Do you continue to let it go? So, what about next time? After three times and two times, the morale of their Dajin will definitely fall into a trough, and the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty will have no fear of their Dajin. ,

"This battle is urgent, Ben Khan came in a hurry, only brought 10,000 horses to arrive first, the brigade is still behind, in addition to a lot of grain and grass, there are cannons, which are specially used to attack the city, with these cannons, you can rest assured, Zhenjiang Fort will definitely be able to attack, that Mao Wenlong won the battle and did not run quickly, but also stayed in Zhenjiang Fort to die, this time, Ben Khan made Mao Wenlong regret not running......" Huang Taiji just arrived at the camp outside Zhenjiang Fort, and immediately raised the account.

Although they are nominally surrounding Zhenjiang Fort these days, in fact, there is no siege, just a confrontation with Zhenjiang Fort, because they have no siege weapons, since they can't take the city, why waste their morale?

"The Great Khan is wise, he must kill Mao Wenlong this time, and he will be ashamed before he ...... blood"

"Great Khan, that Mao Wenlong is shameless and hangs the corpse of my Dajin warrior on the city wall......"

"Great Khan, Mao Wenlong's grenade is powerful, I can't wait to get close, this time the Great Khan brought a cannon, then Mao Wenlong is dead......"

The people of Houjin began to sue Huang Taiji.

“…… Okay, what you said, Ben Khan already knows a little bit and has thought of some countermeasures, the cannon is heavy because it is still on the way to come, but we don't just want to count on the cannon, second brother, how are those arrow towers doing? Huang Taiji asked Amin.

"In accordance with the instructions of the Great Khan, one hundred and ten bodies have been made, each of which is much higher than Zhenjiang Fort, and can be condescending, although the grenade of Zhenjiang Fort is powerful, but the farthest can only be thrown to forty or fifty steps away, and it will be powerless if it is suppressed by an arrow tower seventy or eighty steps away." Amin said hatefully.

"Okay, since the arrow tower can suppress Mao Wenlong, then, tomorrow I will suppress it with the arrow tower and try to attack the city, but Ben Khan thinks that Mao Wenlong will definitely not have only this means, he must have hidden a lot of means, by the way, second brother, it can be seen that Mao Wenlong uses cannons?" Huang Taiji suddenly asked, Huang Taiji himself was going to attack the city with artillery, so he was sensitive to artillery, and suddenly remembered that since he could use the cannon of the captured Ming Dynasty, then Mao Wenlong should also have a cannon, so he asked with special concern, when the time comes, it is very likely that the two cannons will be bombarded.

"Great Khan, except for the siege of the city on the same day, these days, there is no siege of the city, there is no way to get close to the city wall, wouldn't it be a waste of casualties ......, so I haven't seen Mao Wenlong use cannons." Amin said.

"Well, okay, anyway, you'll know if you try it tomorrow, ......, I'll rest for the time being, and I'll see how it happens when I attack the city tomorrow." Huang Taiji thought for a while, and said that he had cannons, so there was no reason why Mao Wenlong didn't have cannons, it seemed that he had to find some way.

"Chirp" everyone replied.

……

The next day.

The trumpets blew early, and the inspiring trumpets could be heard on the ground for dozens of miles.

Mao Wenlong also got up quite early, carried a telescope, and went up to the city tower with a blank expression.

The generals and their entourage also followed.

"The Tartar head has arrived, it's Huang Taiji, the news from the General Staff is really right, that Huang Taiji beat Lin Dan Khan in Liaoxi, and Lin Dan Khan was defeated, this will, come to beat us again, hum, I thought we were Lin Dan Khan's soft eggs, easy to pinch, this time, I want to make the Tartar head knock off the teeth in his mouth......" Mao Wenlong said after looking at it with a telescope for a while.

"Dashuai, listen to this horn, I'm afraid that today is going to attack the city." A subordinate general said.

"That's right, Huang Taiji arrived yesterday, and he will definitely come to attack the city today,...... Are Mao, sons, brothers ready? Mao Wenlong agreed, and then asked his own general.

"Father, the sons are ready, just wait for the Tartars to get close to fight the Tartars......" Mao Da hurriedly responded.

"Okay, this time the Tartars have built a lot of arrow towers, it seems that they are the ...... used to suppress when they are preparing to attack the city, hehe, Mao Da, I ordered you the day before yesterday, are those large Franc machines ready?" Mao Wenlong asked.

"Father, don't worry, I've been ready for a long time, this time, let the Tartar see what it means to grind into powder." Mao laughed and agreed.

"Good,...... Sons, brothers, all take their places, this battle is about to begin......" Mao Wenlong announced loudly with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

……

"Hey, hey...... Hey, hey......" A group of Houjin soldiers, pushing an arrow tower, leaned forward. This arrow tower is much higher than the city wall of Zhenjiang Fort, there is a roof on it, there are baffles made of wooden planks on all sides, and seven or eight people can stand on it. ,

In the sound of "hey", thirty or forty arrow towers were arranged in a line before and after, facing Zhenjiang Fort from a distance, this line, obviously carefully measured, was about seventy or eighty steps away from the city wall of Zhenjiang Fort.

"Great Khan, the arrow tower is already in place...... a herald knight ran to Huang Taiji to report.

"Okay, then let's start, don't do your best for the time being, let's see how Mao Wenlong copes with it first." Huang Taiji commanded.

"Chirp"

In a "woo" sound, Houjin, who had not attacked the city for many days, began to attack the city wall of Zhenjiang Fort again.

……

"This tartar is still the same, it's really not a little new." Mao Wenlong looked at the movements outside the city wall and commented disdainfully.

"Haha, that's it, Dashuai, you think, that Tartar is just a barbarian, how smart do you expect a barbarian to be?" A personal retinue quipped.

"Be careful, the Tartar's Arrow Tower is very close to here, and there are ...... Tartars who are good at using bows and arrows," another attendant reminded.

After Mao Wenlong heard this, he immediately bent down, squatted down, took a periscope and continued to observe the situation outside.

Outside Zhenjiang Fort, the arrow tower has begun to scatter arrows.

"Dashuai, there is a Tartar's arrow tower still moving forward...... a young general who is in charge of observation reported.

"Well, I know, in this Tartar, there are so many people who are not afraid of death, Mao Da, let him fire, hit the arrow tower that is still leaning forward, be sure to beat it into powder, and open the eyes of the Tartar......" Mao Wenlong kept holding the periscope to observe the situation outside, and said without looking back.

"Yes......," the herald agreed.

Mao Da was in the arrow tower of Zhenjiang Fort, carefully preparing a big gift to the Tartars.

"Brothers, do you hear me clearly? Dashuai wants us to hit the nearest arrow tower, that is, the one that is still moving to us, hehe, Dashuai means, let all of you here Franc machine fire at him an arrow tower, and keep changing the gun until the arrow tower of the Tartar is beaten into powder, pay attention, Dashuai said, to beat into powder, brothers, do you understand? Mao Da excitedly said to these Francophone operators on the arrow tower.

A group of people giggled and agreed lively.

Outside the city, it was the horn of the Houjin side to attack the city, clamoring, but the city was not yet attacked, but it was only suppressed with the arrow tower, and the arrows were released from afar, but because there was no one to be seen on the city wall, these arrows were also sparsely released, and there was no result.

Some people on the arrow tower saw that there was no reaction in the city, so they urged the soldiers below to move the arrow tower a little further forward so that they could have more certainty.

"A little further, a little further......" Houjin Elite on top of the arrow tower shouted loudly.

Huang Taiji looked at this strange siege scene, his heart felt frightened, he had never seen such a strange siege scene, he had only heard others mention it in the letter, but now he has experienced it himself, and he felt that the empty Zhenjiang Fort was simply a monster that swallowed people, no wonder the letter would mention that Erbel Amin would suddenly fall to the ground for no reason.

On the battlefield, there are only the shouts of the besieging side, while the defenders are silent, and it seems to be an empty city.

“…… Okay, a little further, so that you can shoot more accurately, those soft-footed sheep of the Ming Dynasty, this time, grandpa wants to let you know what is called a hundred shots and a hundred hits......" The Houjin elite on this arrow tower, seeing that the people guarding the city did not react, so, boldly urged the soldiers below to push the arrow tower forward more than a dozen steps, and it was only fifty or sixty steps away from the city wall of Zhenjiang Fort, so to speak, it was already approaching Zhenjiang Fort.

"Bang ......"

"Bang ......"

"Bang, bang......"

"Bang bang......" A dense and continuous gunfire rang out from the arrow tower of Zhenjiang Fort.

The sound of the wood breaking and the wooden planks being broken overshadowed by the shouts on the battlefield and the noise on the battlefield was exceptionally clear.

The sergeant of Houjin looked at the arrow tower that was beaten to pieces by the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty in horror, the arrow tower "creaked" and crumbled, and the soldiers around him fled one after another.

The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty seem to have a grudge against this arrow tower, put dozens of arrow towers around them and do not fight, specifically fight this arrow tower, this arrow tower, was constantly hit by continuous gunshots, the broken wood, broken pieces, accompanied by flesh and blood, have fallen from the sky, and then crashed to the ground, although it fell to the ground, but the guns of the Ming Dynasty soldiers, still ringing, the pile of collapsed arrow towers, but was stirred up by the guns one after another debris, in the blink of an eye, became a pile of debris......

The arrow tower next to it, several "warriors" above looked at this horrified scene in horror, and swallowed their saliva involuntarily, if this is their own arrow tower, I am afraid that they will be exactly the same as the scene in front of them, and they will only let go if they are beaten into powder by the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

The people around the arrow tower all stopped, looking at this terrifying effect in horror, so that the battlefield gradually fell silent.

Huang Taiji watched the battle from afar, and saw that the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty had beaten him with an arrow tower until the arrow tower was beaten into powder, and he felt that his heart had been hit hard.

……

Mao Wenlong squatted there, holding a periscope to observe, and after the gunshot, the battlefield suddenly became strangely quiet, and then said disdainfully: "So it's ...... to take the lead in grabbing people."
