reborn as a farmer

Chapter 143 Kublai Khan Going South

Huang Qiang did not order the archers to stop shooting, and the fire was still spreading.The shouts below began to weaken!
Smelling the aroma that resembled barbecue, Huang Qiang couldn't help but feel his stomach churn!But he forcibly held back.

As for the recruits of the Xiaoqi Battalion, most of them are already vomiting!This sour and refreshing taste is not something ordinary people can bear.

Even those veterans, some people couldn't help but vomited "Wow!"

Huang Qiang knew that there could be no chaos on his side at this time. Are there thousands of Mongolian cavalry outside the encirclement?
Although Huang Qiang had sent five thousand heavy cavalry to intercept them, the Mongols were brave and he had to guard against them.

Ever since.He summoned his spiritual energy and shouted loudly: "Zhuangzhi eats the meat of Huns when they are hungry, and drinks the blood of Huns when they are thirsty! Soldiers, these Mongolian Tartars invade our mountains and rivers, kill my people, and humiliate my sisters! Today we will grill the Tartars, What a shame! How magnificent...Brothers, kill the Tartar slaves!"

"Kill the Tartars! Kill the Tartars! Kill the Tartars!"

Immediately, the soldiers who were still vomiting forcibly stopped the discomfort in their stomachs, and started shouting to kill the slaves along with the veterans.The morale of the Ming army suddenly rose unprecedentedly!

After determining that the Mongolian cavalry burned below had no chance of surviving.Huang Qiang ordered everyone to form a team and killed the remaining Mongolian cavalry in the rear.

How could the thousands of Mongolian troops who had lost their morale still be the opponents of the fifteen thousand murderous Ming troops?In less than half an hour, they were wiped out of the valley!

In this campaign, Huang Qiang led 5000 men to ambush and kill 5000 Mongolian reinforcements in the depression where the Qinling Mountains came out of the Weishui River.

Since then, the Mongolian army on Jingzhao West Road has only less than 2 people in Xi'an.

That night, Huang Qiang led the army, which had only lost dozens of heavy cavalry, and returned to the camp outside Xi'an.

That night, everyone had another meal to celebrate!
Huang Qiang is celebrating here, the rich prince in the city is not feeling well!

When he learned that the reinforcements from the two cities were wiped out in the Qinling Mountains, he immediately sat down on the ground bald and without a word for a long time!As for Wang Shixian who was standing aside, he didn't dare to speak, he didn't dare to move either!

The two of them stood in the study like this, like a figure painting.

It wasn't until it was dark for more than an hour that the sound of howling and crying came from the study.

"Ahhhhh, it's over, it's over! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

The next morning, news spread from the palace that the prince Kuo Chu had hanged himself.

Immediately, the city of Xi'an was in chaos!
Wang Shixian temporarily acted as the supreme military commander of Xi'an City and was responsible for the city defense of Xi'an City.The funeral of the prince will naturally be left to the Mongols themselves!
Wang Shixian originally thought that the Ming army besieging the city would attack the city immediately after eliminating the reinforcements. As a result, he waited on the tower for a day and saw no movement from the Ming army camp.Frowning for a while, the invisible enemy is the most terrifying!His heart couldn't help but feel excited!
It wasn't that Huang Qiang was inactive. He had already dispatched a large number of Ye Bu Shou to sneak into the gate of the city quietly to prepare for the next siege.

At the same time, Guo Jing and Huang Rong also thoroughly cleaned up Tangzhou. Through the land reform, the Ming army won the hearts of the people!Young people are eager to join the army, not for anything else, but for the tens of acres of land that their families have acquired. They also have to join the army, otherwise who will defend these?
In a few days, Guo Jing and Huang Rong recruited [-] new recruits.If it weren't for the lack of food and grass, it would not be a problem to recruit another [-].

Guo Jing also left [-] veterans behind as the backbone of the recruit battalion, and formed a cavalry battalion of [-], a bow battalion of [-], a sword and shield battalion of [-], and a spear battalion of [-].

Leaving the two lieutenants to lead the recruits to defend Tangzhou, Guo Jing and Huang Rong led [-] veterans and went straight to Caizhou.

At this time, the Meng Yuan court also received news of the Xiangyang Army's Northern Expedition.

At this time, the seat of the Mongolian imperial court, in the palace city of Haci and Lin, Meng Ge smashed the second gold-encrusted bone cup in his hand.Yelled loudly.

"Get out of here, is he still a descendant of Genghis Khan, he is so useless! 10,000+ people were defeated by him like this, what an idiot!"

The Mongolian nobles at the bottom had different expressions, some were gloating, some were relentless, some were worried, some wanted to watch a play, and some were eager to move south and kill all directions immediately.

Kublai Khan, who was sitting under Brother Meng, looked at the expressions of everyone in the hall with cold eyes. He suddenly stood up, hugged Brother Meng and said, "Great Khan, I am willing to go through life and death for you. Go and quell those Nanman barbarians!”

Brother Meng glanced at his brother, nodded and said: "Okay, brother, I'll leave it to you to quell the chaos. What do you need? Just go get it yourself. If you need anyone, go and recruit yourself! Go. Bar!"

"Thank you Khan!" Kublai Khan replied and went out!
Meng Ge watched the back of his brother going out, nodded silently, took a glass of kumiss on the table, and drank it down in one gulp.

After Kublai Khan came out of the inner palace, he returned home, and after explaining something, he took his generals and ran to Dianjiangtai.

The Mongols are generally herdsmen when there is no war, and there are not many fixed troops.If there is a war, as long as the main general goes to Dianjiangtai to blow the horn, the herdsmen who are in their turn to go to war will take the initiative to gather near Dianjiangtai!

More than an hour later, no less than [-] cavalry had gathered near Dianjiangtai, most of them had three horses, and some had four horses, but not many.

When Kublai Khan saw that the crowd was almost gone, he waved his hand and led the more than 5 Mongolian cavalry out of the outer city of Haci and Lin, heading south.

The destination of Kublai Khan's trip was the Jinlianchuan area in the upper reaches of the Luan River, and he planned to meet up with Liu Bingzhong, the general of the Great Jin there, before making plans for the next step!
Today's Meng Yuan has just destroyed Dajin and is still digesting it. In addition, Meng Ge has just won the position of Great Khan from his uncle, Wo Kuotai, and needs to rectify various forces within Mongolia.There is no much ability to go south in a big way.

This gave Huang Qiang and his Northern Expedition an opportunity.

Back to Huang Qiang, in the Ming army camp, some craftsmen found from nearby are making some strange objects.

The first thing Huang Qiang wants to make is a repeating crossbow. The repeating crossbow was made by Zhuge Liang of the Shu Kingdom during the Three Kingdoms period. It is also called the Yuanrong Crossbow. It can be equipped with ten arrows at a time and has strong firepower. It is mainly used to defend cities. and camp fortress.Ma Jun, the great inventor of the Wei Dynasty at the end of the Han Dynasty, wanted to improve it and make it a fifty-arrow crossbow with greater power.It has a longer range and can shoot 120 steps.

The second type is the bed crossbow, the three-bow bed crossbow, also known as the "eight cow crossbow". It can shoot "stepped arrows", which is spectacular when fired. The arrows are like javelins. When fired at close range, they can be directly nailed into the city wall. When firing in volley, rows of stepped arrows are firmly nailed into the city wall , siege soldiers can use this to climb up.

The third type is the 轒辒车, which appeared in ancient fortified battles. It is pointed and can reduce the destructive power of artillery stones.

This kind of weapon is a tool for carrying out fortification operations. It can transport soldiers safely to the city, and cover the soldiers to dig tunnels or carry out other fortification operations. People can hide in them and the enemy can do nothing.

These devices are generally uncomplicated, but must be strong and shaped like a prefab.The wooden frame is thick, the planks are thick, and the outside is covered with raw cowhide to withstand the blows of stones and arrows.The bottom of this type of cart is empty, and the soldiers hide in the cart and push the cart forward, which is the so-called "real at the top and empty at the bottom".

The fourth type is the fierce fire oil tank. The fire tank uses fierce fire oil as fuel and is made of cooked copper. The cabinet has 4 feet and 4 copper pipes on it. A horizontal pump is placed on the pipe to communicate with the oil tank.The front part of the pump is a "fire building" with igniting powder inside.

When in use, the red-hot burning cone ignites the primer in the "fire building", and then pulls the pump vigorously to pressurize the air in the oil tank, so that the fierce fire oil will burn into a flame when it is ejected from the "fire building", so as to burn the wound. Enemy troops and their equipment.

These things were designed by Huang Qiang himself based on his memories in the real world.This is why Huang Qiang besieged Xi'an and did not attack.

Although this world is not Huang Qiang's own world, and the people in this world are not from his own world, he still cares about his soldiers!

He was not willing to sacrifice his soldiers in vain, so he came up with these sharp siege equipment!Just to save fewer deaths.

Three days later, the Ming army built a total of 2000 Liannu, all equipped with cavalry archers, and built [-] bed crossbows,?[-] people were selected from the Xiaoqi camp to operate.Five hundred chariots were built, and two thousand soldiers were dispatched from the Xiaoqi Battalion to operate them.In the end, another [-] fierce fire oil tanks were built, and the last [-] soldiers of the Xiaoqi Battalion controlled them.

After another day of control training, after the soldiers could control their own equipment, on the morning of the fifth day, Huang Qiang launched an attack on Xi'an City.

Five thousand Xiao cavalry battalion soldiers, pushing their own equipment, followed by five thousand light cavalry and one thousand heavy cavalry, came to the south gate, west gate and east gate of Xi'an City. Huang Qiang sent two thousand heavy cavalry to guard each, leaving only the north gate Unattended.

Two thousand lathe crossbowmen, pushing five hundred huge crossbows, came three hundred steps away from the city wall, lined up, and began to install 1.5-meter-long javelins on the crossbows.

The chariot soldiers and the fierce oil tank soldiers followed behind, ready to move!
The light cavalry were walking a hundred paces outside the city with repeating crossbows, firing their repeating crossbows at the city wall.

The Mongolian army on the city wall used Mongolian horn bows with a range of about 120 steps, while the range of the Ming army's crossbow was [-] steps. Therefore, the Mongolian army on the city wall can only be beaten.

And at this time, the bed crossbow also started firing, and the "buzzing" sound of the javelin flying made people feel chilled!
The Mongolian army who hid slowly on the city wall, or did not hide tightly, was shot from time to time.The one shot by the crossbow was fine, rolling and crying on the ground in pain.

It would be miserable for those who were shot by the bed crossbow. Some people were shot by the javelin fired by the bed crossbow, and they were directly driven out by the powerful power, falling out of the city wall and smashed to pieces!Even those who were shot in the head suddenly had a big head that exploded like a watermelon, which was horrible!

For a while, the Mongols who saw these hid in the walls one after another, and never dared to show their faces again!

Wang Shixian hid on the watchtower, seeing this scene, broke out in cold sweat!Knowing that this time is going to be over, the Ming army has such a powerful siege weapon, what else can I use to defend the city?
