General Yan gave a few words to the deputy general, and Qin Langchuan was escorted by his own soldiers to go down the arrow tower, at this time, the enemy's air troops were bombarded by artillery and then arrows, and the casualties were exhausted, and then there were very few people who broke through the air blockade, and those who landed safely were easily annihilated.

Outside the city, the two armies of Bozhigude and Sukhbashou are still in front of each other, but their power is not as good as before.

Qin Langchuan beckoned: "The enemy's main force turns to the south of the city, Da Chen, you lead people to resist this side, Xiaohao, Lei Sheng!

Chang Sihao nodded and followed, Qin Juexiang's body had all used up the hidden weapons and crossbow arrows, worried about his grandfather's safety, he slashed the waves with his hand, and picked up a firearm in the pile of corpses, and followed behind with An Ziteng and Yin Lei.

The defenders in the south of the city were excited to see the general soldier in person, and the general soldier Yan was happy to see that the army was full of vigor and strength, and he was also happy, and looked out of the city with his clairvoyance, only to see the enemy army patrolling in the distance, and the momentum was not advancing, just as the gold flag was fluttering, the tassel under the big red cover was in the wind, and an old man with a long beard wore a black velvet hat, a golden coat, a tiger skin shoulder on the upper body, a light armor on the cover, a silver thread bloomers on the lower body, and long riding boots on the knee.

The old man sat down on his horse, his figure was magnificent, solemn and majestic, and a person next to him was talking to him with his head sideways, although he was sitting on a horse, his waist was bent extremely stiff, showing extreme respect.

Qin Juexiang blinked his eyes and muttered: "That old man is my answer, just this bear ......" hindered his grandfather's presence, and swallowed the second half of the sentence, but the contempt in his expression could be seen by anyone.

An Ziteng responded: "Yes, that old man is Altan Khan, and the person next to him is his military advisor Boktor." ”

Qin Juexiang saw that Na Bokeduo was wearing a Mongolian robe, a silk belt tied around his waist, a yellow crown with eagle feathers obliquely inserted on his head, a white complexion, and five locks of Confucian beards.

An Ziteng said with a smile: "This guy has forgotten his ancestors by taking refuge in Tartar, and he is not worthy of using the name and surname of the Han people at all, calling him Bokeduo is the same as scolding him, the people of our big country, we can't speak with dirty words." Qin Jue resounded: "Hey, calling him the title is scolding him, scolding seems to be non-scolding, non-scolding is scolding, and it is really a high-level scolding method." Everyone laughed.

Chang Sihao said: "What did this guy say to me? Why don't you attack it?"

Yin Lei Sheng said: "The Tartars don't dare to step forward, because they are afraid of our cannons." ”

Qin Juexiang's eyes lit up: "Lord Yan, why don't we bombard him with a few shots!

General Yan asked the gunner next to him: "Is it enough?" The gunner shook his head: "It's out of range." Qin Juexiang said: "If you can't reach it, you can have a cannon to scare and scare him!" Qin Langchuan's face turned cold: "Ammunition must not be wasted! This cannonball can hurt the lives of more than a dozen of his tartars if it is done well, is it for fun?" Qin Juexiang was still itching, and argued: "This is not a waste, this is a deterrent, let him also know the power of our Daming firearms! Do you say, Lord Yan?"

General Yan smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay to shoot just one shot, gunner, aim at my answer." Qin Juexiang heard him agree to open the cannon, and said with a smile: "I'll come, I'll come!" ran over, and the gunner saw that Lord Yan did not object, so he gave up his position, Qin Juexiang naturally likes to fiddle with the machine spring skill, these days when he was idle and had nothing to do, he precociously mastered the operation of the Francophone machine, but there is no enemy who can't let go of the empty cannon, and today is just a good time to try.

At this time, the Ming army in the west of the city and the two armies of Bozhigude and Sukhba Shou were fighting fiercely, the artillery fire was fierce, I answered to sit on the horse and watch the layout in the south of the city, seemed to be thoughtful, did not care about the cannon sound at the head of the city, the cannonball broke through the air and screamed, and exploded on the ground about 30 steps in front of his horse, with a muffled sound, suddenly the mud was like a wave, the sand and soil turf rose a foot high, the nearby war horses were frightened, sighed and screamed, and stepped backwards, and the military appearance was chaotic.

I replied that his mount also had the intention of retreating, his eyebrows were slightly raised, his eyes flashed, he was arrogant, the corners of his mouth on both sides were slightly down, his big hand pulled the reins, his waist did not move, his legs were clamped, his crotch dismounted and shook his head, he shrugged his tail and shook his tail, his thighs trembled, and he hissed a few times in his mouth, but he did not move a little.

A powerful wave of qi came, lifting the cover away, blowing the golden handsome flag to change direction, and I answered the white beard fluttering, the body was steady, and the head was held high.

Zhao Quan, the military advisor next to him, was caught off guard, and was thrown to the ground by the horse, and fell into a golden star.

A red horse flashed next to him, and immediately a yellow-bearded general leaned up the golden top lance and replied to me in Mongolian and shouted: "Father, don't wait for him, let's fight!"

I replied without looking aside, looked at the city, and smiled faintly: "Huang Taiji, impulsiveness can't solve the problem." In the future, when you become the Great Khan, you must remember this, because the fate of thousands of warriors and families of our tribe is in your own hands, and you will be responsible for any decision you make. ”

Huang Taiji said: "But the Ming army is so dense with guns and arrows, can he get in? Maybe he is dead!"

I replied with a slight twitch of my lips and said no more.

The army at the head of the city saw that Zhao Quan, a big traitor, was knocked off his horse by a cannon, and shouted happily, each raising his sword and gun with thunderous cheers, Qin Juexiang touched the warm cannon pipe of the Francophone and blossomed, thinking that the power of firearms is really not small, and I will have to study it in depth if I have the opportunity in the future.

Qin Langchuan didn't expect this effect, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and when Qin Juexiang turned his eyes to look at him asking for credit, he still glared at him fiercely as usual.

Chang Sihao said: "If the amount of gunpowder is slightly increased, it will be able to hit me, how about trying another shot?"

The lookout pointed his finger and said, "The Tartars are withdrawing!" In the distance, the army of Alta slowly moved and retreated to the west. Everyone looked at each other and chased after the city, only to see that the cavalry blew the horn to spread the news, and the army of Bozhigud and Sukhbashou had also withdrawn, and the shelling of the city in the west had stopped, and there was a cheer.

Everyone returned to the west of the city to watch for a while, only to see that the enemy army had moved out for more than five miles, and they stopped moving, the horse team was resting, and the soldiers were shuttling back and forth, and for a time the white tent was like a mushroom cloud.

General Yan put down his clairvoyance and said: "I have been on the battlefield for a long time, and I will never be frightened by our cannon, but after the main army is killed, he does not attack, but retreats and camps, what do you think his intentions are?"

A general beside him said with a smile: "The Tartars have lost at least seven or eight thousand people in this siege, and even the wounded must be more than 10,000 together, and it is useless to fight hard in front of cannons and firearms, no matter how brave you are, what are you waiting for if you don't retreat?" An Ziteng said: "Retreat is a temporary retreat, I must be thinking about a more suitable and effective siege method, and I should not take it lightly." ”

Chang Sihao said: "I agree with the opinion of the Lord of Anrud, for now it is better to stabilize the city defense and wait and see what happens, and we are not considered to be a complete victory, some problems have been exposed in this battle, which should be corrected before I answer to attack again, such as the fortifications with a roof should be built around the fort, which can protect the safety of the gunners and ensure that they can fire normally when they are attacked." Another is that although our firecracker is powerful, it needs a reload time, which is not as convenient as the bow and arrow, and now the two sides are separated, sometimes there is a situation where the gunner and the gunner are loading at the same time and only rely on the bow to support, which is very unfavorable to the defense, because there is a moment of weakening in the strength of the attack, which is to give the enemy an opportunity. ”

Mr. Yan couldn't help nodding: " Yes, I have already considered this problem before, and divided the firecrackers into two teams, the front team shoots when the rear team loads, so that although the firepower looks slightly worse, it can ensure the continuity of shooting, and the archers are responsible for filling in the gaps, so that there is no dead end in time, but the enemy attack is urgent, everyone is a little panicked, especially did not expect that the enemy siege this time actually used the airborne strategy, on the one hand, they were condescendingly superior, on the other hand, the two sides were very close when they landed, our people were caught off guard, and the bullets were hit, and the order was out of order。 ”

Chang Sihao suggested: "It's better to send some swordsmen to mix with the gunners, don't rush forward, it can play some protective role in close combat, and it can also buy time for them to reload." ”

General Yan praised: "Good idea! If you use this trick first today, I am afraid that half of the enemy will not be able to fall to the head of the city." Then he ordered the order to be carried out. At the same time, he ordered all the troops to only pack up the weapons scattered on the ground for backup, and everyone rested on the spot, and postponed cleaning the battlefield to maintain physical strength.

Led Lei Sheng to point to the city wall: "My lord, the corpses outside the city wall have become a mountain, which is extremely unfavorable to our defense of the city, we have to find a way to solve this matter." ”

Everyone looked at it together, and the horse corpses and human corpses under the city wall were added to the rolling wood and stones, and a large high slope was built, the flag halberd was slanted, the remnants of the armor were wrapped in minced meat, and the intestines were sparse and blood foam was screezing down.

An Ziteng glanced at the camp in the distance, and said, "The city gate should not be opened lightly, so leave it alone and strengthen the garrison." Yin Lei Sheng shook his head: "With this corpse slope, the advantage of city defense has been greatly reduced, I replied that I did not attack the south gate this time, I think it is cowardice, after all, no matter how many people and horses there are, he can't afford to lose at that speed, and he won't give up easily on the foundation laid by blood here." ”

In the pile of corpses, there was a Tartar that was crushed inside, not yet dead, revealing less than half of its body in the corpse pile, and the head that had been trampled off was tilted weakly, and his eyes looked at the sky, at the head of the city, and at the stone across his chest, and muttered one by one, and next to his mouth was a foot that I didn't know who had dropped his boots, twitching like a frog skinned alive.

Chang Sihao's brows furrowed slightly, and an inexplicable regret and compassion mixed with hatred trembled in his eyes, extremely bitter. Suddenly, the muscles on his face twitched, and he turned his head and said, "Leave this matter to me." ”
