Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 48
The coated slave who was named suddenly had a bitter face. He has not forgotten that there is a super sharpshooter on the city wall. As long as he dares to approach the city wall for two hundred steps, he may be shot dead by a cold arrow at any time. Master Erzhen actually wants to He went over to shout, didn't he want him to die!However, Mr. Ezhen has an order. Even if he knew that he might be shot to death in the past, he could only bite the bullet and run over, and shouted at the top of the city after more than 100 steps: "Ming dog in the city! You are already surrounded, and no one will come to rescue you! If you open the city and surrender immediately, we can let you live, otherwise, after breaking the city, our army will slaughter the whole city, leaving no dog or dog behind!"

There was silence on the top of the city.

Seeing that there was no movement at all, the coat servant couldn't help feeling a little flustered, and raised his voice again: "Listen, Ming dogs in the city, you have already..."

At this time, Yang Menglong poked his head out, looked at him and said with a smile: "Brother, you are here again? Where is your master? Why didn't you come and talk to me in person?"

The coated slave muttered in his heart: "Who doesn't know that you like to hurt people with cold arrows? How dare our master come here!" But you can't say this, otherwise Tabulun will definitely skin him.He sneered twice and said: "Are you worthy of talking to our master? Those who know how to do it will open the city and surrender immediately, otherwise our army will break the city and kill you——"

Yang Menglong waved his hand and interrupted: "Come on, I can recite your words with my eyes closed. Can you get some fresh ones? Tell your master to come over!"

The coated slave called: "Our master..."

Yang Menglong let out a loud roar: "Call your master over here!"

They don’t take me seriously at all!The coated slave was embarrassed and angry, but he didn't dare to ask Tablon to come up. He froze there not knowing what to do.The defenders burst into laughter: "Jiannu is scared! Their leaders are so scared that they don't even dare to come up!"

"How dare you enter the border with this little courage?"

"That's right, this group of people looks fierce outside the customs, but in fact they are just rats carrying guns in their nests, and they are all scared once they enter the customs!"

"You idiot, you idiot!"

The atmosphere on the city wall suddenly became active, and foul words were flying around. The soldiers of the Ming army pointed at the unlucky coat slave, laughed and cursed, mocked in every possible way, and showed their contempt.Of course they have a reason to laugh at each other, because Hou Jinniulu's forehead really dare not approach the city wall, what is it if it's not a coward?It turns out that you also have times of fear!
Tabulun was not far from the city wall, just outside the range of the crossbow. He naturally ate those swear words. Of course, he couldn't understand what the soldiers of the Ming army were cursing, but the contemptuous laughter and vulgar words of the Ming army His body language still made him pissed off. After fighting for a lifetime, this was the first time he had seen such an arrogant Ming army!Annoyed, he rode his horse forward and roared, "You bastards, just laugh, there are times when you cry! I won't let you——" Just as he was speaking halfway, he suddenly heard a whistling sound, as if The eagle's long cry was breathtaking, and he was aroused, and instinctively bent his body down, whoosh!A crossbow arrow grazed the edge of the helmet, and the cold wind pierced through the bone marrow. This old man who had fought for half his life was so frightened that half of his body was cold, and he deeply felt that he was never so close to death!
Yang Menglong straightened his body from behind the battlements, and praised, "Brother, your skill is much more agile, so you didn't hit the target, admiration, admiration!"

Tabrun's underwear was already drenched in cold sweat, he took a few breaths before he came back to his senses, and roared like thunder: "Damn it! Today I will raze this county town to the ground and kill every single one of you. No!"

Yang Menglong couldn't understand Manchu either, but he could guess the meaning of the other party, and said with a smile: "Welcome, welcome, just let the horse come over."

Tabrun waved his hand: "Siege the city! Take down this county seat, and leave nothing behind!"

The desolate trumpet sounded, and the humming sounded through the sky, and a chilling air rose to the sky, filling the sky and the earth.Amidst the sound of the horn, the Mongolian soldiers shouted wildly: "Wan victorious! Wan victorious!" The soldier who was good at galloping and shooting rode his horse and rushed over. The bead swished out, and it was only about two hundred riders, and a dense rain of arrows was poured out, almost every crenel was taken care of.Under the successive repairs of the Ming Dynasty and the Later Jin Dynasty, the Mongols were no longer fierce and tenacious as in the Genghis Khan era, but their riding and archery skills have not been dropped. Give them a horse and a strong bow, and they will be an excellent cavalry. It is the capital of the Mongols' confrontation with the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years.Fortunately, the Mongols are poor enough now, and the compound bows that can shoot 300 meters away in the Genghis Khan era are almost lost. Now they use horn bows, the bow strength is quite poor, and the arrow branches are not much better. Don't even think about steel arrowheads. There are not many iron arrowheads. Most of them are made of animal bones or flints, and the lethality is naturally greatly reduced.However, the Ming army did not dare to underestimate them. Seeing the sharp arrows coming through the air, they hurriedly raised their shields to hide, and did not dare to raise their heads.Taking advantage of the opportunity of the defenders' firepower being suppressed by the archers, shield chariots were pushed over one after another. The infantry either hid behind the shield chariots, or carried ladders, armed with swords and shields, and quickly approached the city wall. A howl, menacing.

Qi Hu shouted: "Steady your ground! Stabilize your ground! Let them come over, and we will deal with them when they get under the city wall!" Just looking for death, we can only let the Mongols approach them before dealing with them.The soldiers of the Ming army barely suppressed the panic in their hearts, and they huddled under their shields not daring to move, allowing the Mongols to approach step by step.

Seeing that the Ming army had no strength to fight back, Ta Burun couldn't help laughing: "I thought they were so capable, but it turned out that it was just a boiled duck, and the meat was rotten and the mouth was not rotten!"

A white-armored soldier said contemptuously: "That's right, these dogs are just bluffing. Without the protection of the city wall, they would be vulnerable to a single blow! Master, let the slaves lead sixty armored soldiers up, and within an hour they will be able to go up." Take down this county town!"

Tabulon waved his hand and said: "No rush, let's take a look first. If the Mongols can capture it, we don't have to go up. We can just wait to divide the spoils. If the Mongols can't capture it, it's not too late for you to go up again." "

The white-armored soldier was sincerely convinced: "My master is wise and I admire you!"

Tabrun laughed again, extremely proud.

The rain of arrows continued to wash away at the city wall, and several soldiers were hit by arrows and fell to the ground screaming.The lethality of the horn bow is not very good, but it is not pleasant to be hit by an arrow. The soldiers who were hit by the arrow threw their shields far away and fell on their backs. Before they could stand up, the sharp arrows that fell one after another nailed them to the ground. on the ground.Yang Menglong became angry and roared: "Musketeer, hit me!"

More than sixty musketeers lit the match ropes, poked their muskets out of the battlements, pointed them at the Mongolian cavalry who were galloping back and forth, and pulled the triggers.Bang, bang, bang, bang—a bean-like gunshot rang out, each gun spewed out a large cloud of smoke and flames, and several Mongolian cavalrymen convulsed under the rain of bullets, and blood sprayed from both men and horses Wu Wu screamed and fell down with holes all over his body.Dozens of muskets fired at the same time and only achieved this little result?Yang Menglong curled his lips, despising the poor lethality of these years' muskets.

As soon as the musketeers showed up, a row of sharp arrows flew over, and screams continued. Seven or eight musketeers were hit by arrows in the face and fell down screaming. Yang Menglong grinned, "lose it, lose it!"Letting the musketeers and archers shoot at each other at this distance is almost like forcing the musketeers to commit suicide. There is no way, the muskets are really bad.

Qi Hu glanced at Yang Menglong, meaning you can stop giving me blind orders, okay?With just this little capital, you're going to lose everything, so what's the point?It made Yang Menglong feel embarrassed.

The shield chariot had approached sixty paces, and an archer holding a step bow flashed out from behind the chariot. The bowstring resounded, and sharp arrows pierced through the air. Sharp arrows with flames flew over from the crenel like locusts, and whoever was shot would be unlucky. .The bow power of the foot bow is much stronger than that of the cavalry bow. These archers are extraordinary. In the first round of arrow rain, more than a dozen fell on the city wall, either dead or injured.Yang Menglong gasped, how much money would he have to pay if he played like this!These archers were divided into two rows, one row retreated immediately after shooting, the second row took a step forward, bowed their bows and shot furiously, and after shooting, the first row stepped forward again and shot again. The Ming army could not raise its head.The shield chariot continued to advance. Under the suppression of so many archers, the Ming army on the city wall had no luxury to even raise their heads, let alone fight back.

This feeling of being oppressed and beaten and unable to fight back is really suffocating!
The Mongolian soldiers were not at all surprised by the weakness of the Ming army, and they were already used to it. If the Ming army behaved bravely and tenaciously, they would be extremely surprised.Amid bursts of cheers, they easily crossed the already frozen moat, and a ladder was erected.The rain of arrows became unprecedentedly dense, and those archers didn't have any strength left. The arrows flew like beads, covering the entire city wall in the rain of arrows. The infantrymen in smelly leather armor held wooden shields and mouth With a scimitar in his mouth, he struggled to climb up, his movements were a little more flexible than a monkey's. Everyone's face showed the joy of victory. In their eyes, this county town was already their trophy.

Taburun watched a bunch of Mongolian soldiers climbing up the ladder like ants, and he was about to climb the city wall. He couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If he had known that the defenders were so useless, he wouldn't have called the Mongols here. Niu Lu can easily win this county!Calling the Mongols to come over to help, although a little less people died, but a lot of loot was also missing, what a mistake, what a mistake!
However, is this really the case?
