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

Chapter 650 Kicked on the iron plate 8
These metal buckets were heavy, and the Mongolian soldiers who were hit by them broke their bones and wailed, how pitiful they were.However, none of the Mongolian soldiers who were afraid of being bombed went up to save people. Instead, they hid as far away as possible... With the urine nature of the Ming army, they would definitely not put anything delicious, delicious and fun in it and throw it down as a gift. They, didn't they see the smoke coming out, they went to seek death!
The most practical experience the Mongolian army has gained in this battle is to stay away from those sizzling things, and hide as far away as possible!

And the Ming army did not disappoint them...

Boom boom boom!

Several clusters of orange-red flames flashed out, and the thunderous bang shook the entire land of Yingzhou. The shock wave of the explosion swept over with frighteningly high temperatures. Dozens of Mongolian soldiers were swept up like a pile of leaves. Get up and throw it 30 meters away... And this is only the beginning of the disaster. Several fire dragons rush up from the explosion point as if the magma broke through the earth's crust, and a 200-meter-long wall of fire is formed in an instant. Do you know how many Mongolian soldiers burned in the flash of the fire, turned into fire men, hissed and screamed, rushed around, and burned wherever they hit.Countless large and small fire balls were thrown high into the sky and then fell like a torrential rain. Wherever they splashed, there was a sea of ​​flames. The Mongolian soldiers had avoided it as much as possible, but they were still not far enough. The fire rain fell among them. How many people were horrified to find that their clothes and hair suddenly burned up, and they rolled all over the ground in pain, screaming extremely shrillly, and their voices were inhuman!

The fate of the Mongolian soldiers who poured into the city was even more tragic. The Ming army rolled two smaller iron buckets into the city gate corridor and then detonated them. The explosion shock wave wrapped in flames and formed a terrifying fire dragon, which instantly blocked the entire corridor. Tightly, hundreds of soldiers roared like beasts in the raging flames. Many of them turned into pyromen and could not survive even if they were not on fire. Both ends of the corridor were sealed by fire, and they were blocked. If you can't get out of it, the only result is to be roasted alive or suffocated to death!The shrill screams were moving, even as an opponent who was fighting to the death, the Ming army felt inexplicably palpitating!
The entire battlefield fell into a terrible silence. Both the Ming army and the Mongolian army stared blankly at the raging flames that were level with the city wall and the Mongolian soldiers writhing and thrashing in the flames, terrified.Boyan let out a roar, and a stream of blood choked out from his throat, it was fishy and sweet, his body shook a few times, and he fell off the horse, unconscious.Thousands of people were finished in the blink of an eye, such a blow, even the overlord of Tumochuan could not bear it!

Wang Wenbin happened to be watching the battle in Qiaolou. The terrible cry and the stench of scorched human flesh made him pale and trembling all over. He murmured, "Burning the Tengjia army... a crime!"

Zheng Jing turned his head and gave him a cold look, saying, "They deserve it!"

Wang Wenbin looked at the murderous warrior and hesitated to speak. Finally, his thousands of words turned into a long sigh.

The screams soon stopped. Inside and outside the city gate, there were corpses burned into charcoal shapes and twisted everywhere. The air was filled with waves of stench. The Ming and Mongolian soldiers looked at the corpses. There were scorched corpses all over the place, and they suddenly bent down covering their stomachs together, and the food left in their stomach pouches sprayed out from their mouths and noses.They vomited so much that their eyes turned black. Such brutal scenes made them completely lose their desire to fight. Many people have never eaten barbecue again in their lives.Really, except for a madman, no one would enjoy such a tragic picture, even if it is an enemy who is burned to death!
Boyan was lucky, he passed out in time, and he fell into a coma for three whole days, without seeing the tragic scene of charred corpses everywhere, so he didn't have to suffer the mental torture of that lifetime.However, the tragic scene of thousands of soldiers struggling and wailing in the sea of ​​flames still greatly stimulated the prairie hero. After he woke up, his eyes were dull, without saying a word, he just lay on the bed like this, his eyes were completely out of focus , no one knows what he is looking at.Many generals reported the military situation to him and asked him to make a decision, but he didn't respond, as if he hadn't heard it.Anyone who looks at him can see the sadness and despair hidden in his lax eyes, yes, it is complete despair.The moment Lie Yan (raging flames) soared into the air, he was completely desperate.The firearms of the Ming army emerge in endlessly, one is more terrifying than the other, and one is more powerful than the other. They don’t have to show up when they hide on the city wall. A bundle of grenades can kill a large number of people, while the Mongolian army has spent a lot of money. Even the power of the Ming army could not effectively kill the Ming army.These firearms are not only powerful, but also easy to use. An ordinary farmer can learn how to use them in half a day. This means that even a group of militiamen can cause great casualties to the Mongolian army, and all the advantages have fallen to the Ming army. !If he had had a chance to be lucky before, then when he saw thousands of people being burned to death in the sea of ​​flames formed by the explosion of the iron bucket pushed down by the Ming army in an instant, even the last chance of him was shattered.

This battle cannot be fought.The Ming army only needs to put some iron buckets on the city wall, and push them down after they are killed under the city wall, and they can easily burn hundreds of Mongolian warriors to ashes, and burn all the siege equipment such as ladders and carts along the way. .They can't kill or injure many Ming soldiers even if they work hard, and the Ming soldiers can kill a lot of them just by throwing something down. How can we fight this battle?
Boyan is disheartened now, he doesn't want to say anything, he doesn't want to do anything, in his view, no matter how ingenious tactical deployment he makes, he will be easily blown into powder by the Ming army's firearms, and everything is just a futile struggle That's all, why bother?Now he just wants to know what kind of firearm the Ming army used, and why its power is so terrifying!
In fact, not to mention Boyan, even Zheng Jing, the chief culprit, didn't know what insane things he threw down.When the quartermaster handed these things to him, he only said that it was a giant incendiary bomb, weighing 150 jin each, with a huge explosion power, and it would also burn violently, turning thousands of square meters into a sea of ​​flames. As for What is this thing made of, the quartermaster didn't say, and he didn't dare to ask.There are many things in the army that cannot be inquired casually, and knowing too much will definitely do him no good.He has always been skeptical about the use of this stupid and clumsy thing, but now he believes [-]% in the words of the official. The feelings of the Mongolian army can be imagined.After the battle, this man's first order was to keep the remaining twenty giant incendiary bombs in a safe place, and anyone who leaked the secrets would die!

In fact, this thing is not mysterious. Yang Menglong used it in the Battle of Lushun - yes, it was the kind of artificial landmine that Qi Hu had no courage to try again after he tried one.This thing is made by mixing petroleum, yellow phosphorus and high-explosive gunpowder in proportion, sealing it, and then inserting a detonator inside. It is not difficult to make if you know the formula.It just so happened that there were several small oil wells in Yan'an Prefecture, and a lot of oil flowed out of the ground every year. Lu Xiangsheng simply took down those small oil wells, hired people to dig deep wells to mine a large amount, and then transported them to the border by horse-drawn carriages. Giant incendiary bombs were made in the secret arsenal and distributed to various city gates and fortresses as defensive weapons.The military industry department is also trying to put it into artillery shells to make incendiary bombs that can be projected by artillery. If they can succeed, the Tianxiong Army's artillery will become arsonists - the Tianxiong Army will be very happy to have this Soldiers, who are equipped with crazy equipment, always welcome weapons with huge lethality and astonishing destructive power.

Several giant incendiary bombs completely crushed the fighting spirit of the Mongolian army.The siege has lasted for seven days, but most of the time the Mongolian army was making all kinds of siege equipment, and the real battle was only two days. In two days, 7000 of them were killed and a lot of them were injured. Even the Qi family army in its heyday had never tried to beat them so badly!They completely lost the courage to attack the city, and every time they saw the Yingzhou city wall, which was almost covered with maroon blood, they were frightened and dared not approach.During Boyan's coma period, their generals quarreled fiercely every day, and the soldiers cried and cursed. At night, a little bit of wind and grass would cause panic. They looked like a flock of frightened birds. One chord can scare them out of their wits!
They are out of combat.Anyone who dares to order them to attack the city again will be shot dead with an arrow in the back [-]%!
It's really tragic that the war has reached this level.

However, there is no worst, only worse. The current Mongolian army is inadvertently challenging the record of how miserable an army can be.They have lost their fighting spirit, but the Ming army has not. The Ming army is at its peak. The soldiers and civilians in Yingzhou City are gearing up, clamoring to organize their men to go out of the city and kill those Tatars - they are blocked. The smell of corpses in the city is not pleasant, so it would be better to finish the fight as soon as possible and dispose of the corpses.But Zheng Jing was very calm and strictly prohibited the troops from leaving the city.He knew his own weight very well. After this defeat, the Mongolian army was almost drained of blood, and he also suffered more than 300 casualties in the entire army, half of which was lost.Although he could raise an army of more than 2000 men with just one order, the veterans suffered too many casualties. With such a force composed mainly of militiamen, village warriors, bodyguards, and swordsmen, he went out of the city to fight the Mongolian army in the field. That's courting death!Although the Mongolian army has lost the courage to attack the city, it does not mean that they are unable to bite them hard in the field.At present, the strategic initiative has been grasped by the Ming army. He only needs to defend Yingzhou City to make a great contribution, and his reputation can even reach before the king. Why take this risk?It's better to stay in the city and wait for reinforcements, or wait for the Mongolian army to retreat on its own.

From this we can not see the character of this young general. He belongs to the kind of crazy but calm person. His brothers are in danger, such a general has a bright future.In the Battle of Yingzhou, he became famous in the first battle, and since then he has risen steadily, and soon became a prestigious general.

Zheng Jing made up his mind to stay in the city and fight with the Mongolian army slowly until they were beaten to death, but the Tianxiong army had no intention of fighting with the Mongolians.Time is precious. They still need to prepare fodder for the livestock for the winter, prepare for winter training, prepare for a new round of military expansion, and store fuel and vegetables for the winter... There are too many things to do. Who can bear to follow? You consume?After finishing the work early, everyone went back to their respective homes to find their respective mothers!

Therefore, when the Mongolian army completely lost the courage to attack the city, a large army opened from the center of Datong City, flying towards the Mongolian army like a spear...

PS: I'm in a bad mood, and my mind seems to be knotted, and I can't write smoothly.Anyone willing to give me a few rounds of chicken soup for the soul?
