Chapter 2227 God's will?(1/2)
The top of the city shook slightly, and the whole world seemed like thunder.
In the faint silver glow, the twenty-four red copper Thor cannons arranged as a whole at the top of the city spit out tongues of fire, and lead bullets weighing more than ten kilograms rose into the sky.
Along with the sound of breaking through the sky, twenty-four lead bullets cut a beautiful arc in the night sky, flying towards the front like a beast emerging from its cage.
The Mongolians in Huang Taiji's camp raised their heads when they heard the noise and looked at the flying lead bullets in horror. As a result, the lead bullets flew over them without exception.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
These lead bullets did not hit Huang Taiji's camp, but hit the road behind the camp. A huge crater was made in the flat ground, and a tree was directly smashed into two pieces.
Compared with cold weapons, the advantages of hot weapons are obvious. These lead bullets exhibit unimaginable destructive power. Even trees as thick as a bowl can be directly broken by being smashed out of the ground.
puff……
After all, hitting people is not the target of Thor's cannon, but a lead bullet weighing more than ten kilograms hit a reinforcement so hard that even the bones were broken and blood splattered.
hiss……
A strong horse ran toward a lead bullet. As a result, the horse's head was smashed to pieces, and then the horse and man flew backwards.
"Put it back!"
As the artillery shells were fired, the artillery commander saw that the well-trained artillerymen had loaded the gunpowder, and immediately waved his flag to give the order.
Whether it is ammunition or these real lead bullets, these are valuable silver. However, in Jiubian, a consensus has already been formed: as long as the Tatars can be eliminated, then all operations can be carried out regardless of cost, and the Ministry of War will
"Reimburse" these expenses.
Likewise, no one from the commander to the artillery thought about saving costs, but instead fired these artillery shells into the Mongolian camps within an effective time, and their only thought was to destroy more enemies.
Boom!
In just a moment, the second round of artillery shells was successfully fired, and thunderous sounds sounded again from the top of the city.
In this world, the twenty-four Thor cannons at the top of the city were like gatekeepers guarding the Badaling Great Wall, spitting out brilliant tongues of fire, and lead bullets weighing more than ten kilograms pounced on them like beasts.
Enemy camp.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A few hundred meters away from Huangtai Jibu was the camp of Huoli Tumabu, which was also within the range of the Thunder God Cannon, and was facing another round of bombardment.
Those highly recognizable white tents were the first to bear the brunt. Unfortunately, the tents fell down when they were hit by artillery shells, and some even splattered with blood.
"Watch out for the cannonballs!"
"Come out, come out of the tent quickly!"
"Come on, let's go support Huang Taiji!"
…
Facing the incoming shells, the camp of the Huoli Tuma tribe was also in chaos. Some people wanted to dodge, some wanted to escape, and some wanted to continue to rush forward.
"You all stay calm and take a look at the situation first!" Altan, the leader of the Mongolian tribe, made a small calculation and stopped his subordinates who wanted to go to support Huang Taiji.
Mongolia is currently experiencing internal turmoil, especially privately competing for various limited resources. Now seeing how tenacious the Ming army is, especially the fear of the power of this artillery, Altan feels that the best way is to preserve its strength.
After all, he is the leader of the Huoli Tuma Tribe and needs to prioritize the interests of the Huuli Tuma Tribe and his own. It would be unwise to rush to support Huangtai Jishu now.
The Mongolian cavalry who originally wanted to go to support Huang Taiji's tribe exchanged glances silently when they saw this, but they knew that this matter was probably inseparable from the personal grudge between their leaders Chen Letan and Huang Taiji.
Just like this, facing the bombardment of the Ming army, the Huoli Tumabu were unwilling to play the role of the vanguard, but hid silently aside and watched what happened.
this……
Wang Zhideng, who was wearing a Confucian shirt, also accompanied Lin Haoran to Juyongguan, but when he saw that the bald and hemp-headed man did not fight back, he couldn't help but look at Lin Haoran with admiration.
Lin Haoran's face was solemn. Although the current battle situation was good, especially the Jizhou cavalry led by Qi Jin had the upper hand, he knew in his heart that this battle had just begun.
Boom!
The Thunder God cannon on the top of the city still did not stop, and the third round of bombardment had already begun. However, this time the range suddenly became longer, but it hit the Chinese army's tent where An Da was.
Anda's camp was stationed on the mountainside, one mile away from the head of Badaling Pass. Due to the distance, the possibility of hitting it was extremely low, but the Ming army still tried.
Because the terrain is condescending, and the lethality of a dozen kilograms of lead bullets is astonishing, it can also kill people in the Anda camp.
As the twenty-four Leizhou cannons joined the battle, they immediately became the protagonists of this world. The shells not only hit the reinforcements who were trying to come, but also pointed the muzzles at Anda headquarters, and even more at Anda.
In the large tent of the Chinese army.
"My sons, follow this Khan into Badaling!"
Ida saw the fear in the eyes of the people around him, and also saw the Ming army pointing its spearhead at him, but he quickly gathered 10,000 pro-army soldiers and shouted loudly with their sabers raised high.
"kill!"
Although the Mongolian cavalry was afraid of the cannonballs, they were warriors who had experienced many life and death situations and immediately responded loudly with their swords raised high.
Under the pale moonlight, a Mongolian army of tens of thousands suddenly left the camp and came towards this direction.
Wang Zhideng had been by Lin Haoran's side. When he heard the sudden loud shouting of killing coming from the Mongolian military camp, he couldn't help but turn his head and look at Lin Haoran.
Lin Haoran naturally heard and saw the movement in the camp, and knew that I could become the hero of the grassland and that he was not a person who was greedy for life and afraid of death, but he still stared ahead without any expression on his face.
This is the case in war. No matter what kind of advantage one has, until the last moment, one never knows which side the victory scale will point to.
For example, Fu Jian of the former Qin Dynasty was very high-spirited before the war, but during the war, he was defeated and defeated, resulting in a classic battle in which more people defeated fewer people.
Now, Anda leads his headquarters to attack directly. This is the moment to test the effectiveness of Jizhou Army's training, and it is also the key to determining the outcome of this battle.
"kill!"
An Da had a strong gambling spirit. He would risk these shells with astonishing lethality and lead his troops to support his son. He would even take the opportunity to directly break into the Badaling Pass and lead the charge.
Following the order, the people behind him also followed An Da on horseback and ran straight towards the Badaling Pass.
Boom!
The artillery commander on top of the city noticed the movement in the Anda camp, but continued the bombardment.
It's just that excellent gunners often need to be tempered in many wars, which pays great attention to personal psychological quality. However, when one of the gunners saw An Da leading a large force out, he was suddenly shocked and collapsed to the ground.
Fortunately, we had already prepared a plan to face this situation, and the commander who was born in the artillery immediately stepped in.
"Let it go, let it go there!" Zhang Jun realized the seriousness of the problem, but he ran over to act as the artillery commander, pointing in the direction of An Da and commanding.
"No, it's off!"
This artillery commander seemed to be unfamiliar with his skills. When the artillery shell was fired, he realized that it was not in the position he expected, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed.
After Zhang Jun heard this, he felt the urge to beat him up, so he asked someone to bring over the reserve gunners.
Bang!
The cannonball indeed deviated from the direction of Anda's base camp, but hit the strongest tree next to the road. The big tree was immediately shaken off countless dead branches and leaves.
But at this moment, the vanguard of the rushing Mongolian cavalry happened to pass by the big tree, but their sight was directly affected by the sudden falling of sawdust.
Not only were people affected, but horses were also affected by the sawdust. The horses in front slowed down, and one of them fell directly to the ground.
I saw something was going on in front of me, especially the horse that was already blocked in front of me. I tightened the reins very calmly, but I couldn't avoid the flying sawdust and dead leaves.
"Khan, be careful!"
A personal guard noticed a thick branch falling from above his head among the sawdust and dead leaves in the sky, and reminded him loudly.
The soldiers who followed also noticed the thick branch, but they reined in their horses one after another, looking worriedly at An Da who was in danger.
Bang!
I raised my head and noticed the thick branch falling from above my head, but it was too late. The fallen branch knocked me off the horse and fell to the ground.
Although his body is very strong, he is already old after all. Especially when he fell from his horse, it was not light. He had to withstand part of the force of the branches, leaving him lying on the ground completely speechless.
, my body feels indescribably uncomfortable.
"Quick! Save the Great Khan!" After being slightly distracted, the guards immediately reacted and said.
Lying on the ground, I never thought that I would be so unlucky and be in such a mess by a broken branch. I really wanted to raise my middle finger to the sky.
The guard next to him immediately moved the thick branch that was pressing down on Anda. When he saw Anda lying on the ground unable to move, he knew that Anda was really injured.
"Duotaiji, please leave me alone. Since we are leading five thousand troops, we must capture Badaling!" I Da calmed down and issued the order in a spiteful manner.
Although his injury was an accident or even God's will, he was unwilling to accept the fate of failure and still wanted to take the opportunity to seize Badaling.
Duotaiji is a strong young man, and he is also a man full of blood. He immediately accepted the order and said: "I obey!"
With that said, he led 5,000 troops and continued to advance. Not only was he able to rescue Huang Taiji, but he also took the opportunity to rush inside through the open city gate, thus gaining access to this most important pass.
When passing by the Huoli Tuma tribe, Duotaiji saw that Altan did not lead his troops to support Huang Taiji, and he couldn't help but scolded him angrily.
Altan from the Huli Tuma tribe did not see Anda's figure, and did not even receive Anda's instructions, but he rolled his eyes lightly.
When the war reaches this point, it has reached a fever pitch, and it is even the moment to decide the outcome.
Wei Jin's goal was not to wipe out the entire Mongolian army, but to take the opportunity to eat Huang Taiji's troops. It was he who led the cavalry to fight against Huang Taiji's troops.
Thanks to his quick sneak attack and the fact that the artillery shells at the city head hindered the reinforcements, they had now killed an equal number of Mongolian cavalry.
Tonight's performance alone, although it cannot be compared with the victory at Mangkhuttan and Shanxi, is enough for him to make Qi Jin famous throughout the entire Jiubian.
