Chapter 457 Siege Battle

Originally, the artillery fire defense of the Ichichi Dynasty was the crux of the mind of the Tatars. In the initial battles between the Tatars and the major border towns, there were extremely heavy casualties. This is why they changed their strategies. Fighting against the rumbling artillery fire and rushing hard will only cause fearless casualties!

As the head of the Tatar army, Borjin Sihan decided to break through from the inside after thinking about it. If they bought the officials and personnel who controlled the weapons such as the fort, wouldn’t they achieve twice the result with half the effort?

Under the temptation of heavy money and force, the artillery defense of some border guard centers has actually been controlled by the Tatar army. Even if they are not fully controlled, the shells are mixed with mud and sand, which greatly reduces the range and power!

The Tatars were originally good at winning by guerrilla melee. If the shells could not fully demonstrate their power or the projection was blocked, they could not effectively attack their itinerary. Over time, the turret defense system of the border city had become increasingly unsuccessful. Until today, many towns have fallen into the hands of the Tatars!

After General Feng led his army to capture Yanlin Town, he immediately thoroughly repaired the fortifications such as the fortifications. Therefore, the power of the artillery shells is far greater than before!

General Feng stared at the eyes and said coldly: "The generals of our army hid around Yanlin Town. After the artillery fire broke out, the cavalry team quickly attacked!"

"Okay, general, don't worry!" The subordinates took the order and went to do it.

Emperor Mingzhen had a large army of tens of millions and did not take the mere Tartars seriously. He smiled indifferently and said to others: "Our army has garrisons in the east and west of Yanlin Town. It is a timely siege. It is only a matter of time to recover Yanlin Town!"

Emperor Mingzhen pondered for a while, as if he was thinking. He looked back at Yue Zhenggang and said in a low voice: "Yue Aiqing, you are old, don't charge and put yourself in danger!"

"The emperor is sympathetic to the old ministers, and the old minister is very moved. However, since the old minister has served as a general, he should do his best to serve the emperor and serve the court!"

"Yue Qing is full of loyalty. I know that you are my right-hand man. I cannot lose you, and the country and the country cannot lose you!" Emperor Mingzhen's words in front of the army made him more directly and clearly express his intentions, that is, Yue Zhenggang is extremely important to the court!

"The elite imperial guards around me will accompany you in this trip, and they will dispatch thousands of people to protect your safety. If there are people who don't know how to hurt you, there is no need to hesitate. 2. Just kill them on the spot!" Emperor Mingzhen's importance to Yue Zhenggang is self-evident. In addition to speaking, he is targeting those people on the battlefield of the enemy, and he is also warning everyone around him not to try to make things difficult for him!

"I thank the emperor for his kindness!" Yue Zhenggang bowed his body slightly, with respect on his face.

Yue Zheng had just stood up and stood firmly, his eyes flashed, as if he had thought of something, and he said quickly: "Your Majesty, you must be careful. Yanlin and other border towns have beacon watchtowers and forts. Those artillery are very powerful, so we must be careful when we march!"

Emperor Mingzhen nodded. He was bored in the palace and had fun every day, so he would not bypass thunderous objects such as firearms. He knew that the power of cannons was beyond the reach of manpower!

Emperor Mingzhen pondered for a while and said, "This is indeed a problem, but now there is no effective counterattack method for artillery, so casualties are inevitable!"

Emperor Mingzhen's eyes were solemn and said solemnly: "I will not retreat, I believe that our soldiers will not be afraid!"

Before Emperor Mingzhen finished speaking, the soldiers beside him suddenly felt a commotion. After a moment, the sound of ambitions erupted like a tide: "Turn out the Northern Tartars and defend the country, long live my emperor!"

The shouts continued for a few breaths before they stopped. Emperor Mingzhen was very pleased and said, "Okay, with such ambition, I can see the scene of the Tatars fleeing in panic!"

Emperor Mingzhen was arrogant and arrogant on the war horse, showing great ambitions: "All the generals obey the orders, and we attack the city. If there are surviving people, we must do our best to treat them!"

"After my orders, all the generals immediately attacked Yanlin Town!" After the words were finished, people were crowded with people, and soldiers rushed in from the east and south corners, like a tide.

At this time, the Tartars above the observation deck had already looked at the movements in the distance, and suddenly saw a group of black dots like an ant swarm rushing towards Yanlin Town at a rapid speed!

The soldiers on the watchtower were shocked and hurriedly shouted: "They are here, they are here!"

Before the man finished speaking, there was a sound on the fortress. There were nearly ten people above him, and five cannons were set up, facing the five directions in front of him! The ten people were divided into five groups, and they cooperated very well. They were ready in just one breath!

The army was moving very quickly. Although Emperor Mingzhen was brave enough to move forward, Yue Zhenggang and other important officials were still worried, so they laid layers of manpower around him, including those holding shields to circle several times to protect him! Yue Zhenggang was well aware of the range of artillery shells or the power of attacks, etc. He laid out more than ten layers of human flesh walls outside. They all moved forward, and for the sake of the stability of the country and the safety of the emperor, they could be said to have sacrificed their lives!

From this point of view, the emperor himself is extremely safe!

But there is only one thing that makes people a little uneasy, that is, Cao Ji always follows him on the grounds that the eunuch protects the emperor, and he is so close to him!

Cao Ji served as the official of the East and West Factory in the palace, and was also responsible for the affairs of the inner court. Logically speaking, he really had to serve and protect him by the emperor's side!

Dai Luo and others were afraid that Cao Ji would take advantage of the chaos of war outside, especially when they saw the emperor's people, except for the emperor's personal imperial guards, they were all from the East and West Factory. The martial arts of the East and West Factory should not be underestimated, and they also combine the strengths of many families in the world. Although the emperor's imperial guards also had extraordinary martial arts, they seemed to be a little worse than the East and West Factory!

The emperor's personal imperial guards chose first-class experts in order to directly protect the emperor's safety and protect the safety of the palace. However, the Emperor's Chi Dynasty, especially when Emperor Mingzhen was in power, due to the continuous expansion of power in the East and West Factory, the power and even importance of the emperor's personal imperial guards had been greatly weakened!

Cao Ji himself made complete plans for the smooth progress of his power plan, and even inserted a lot of personal training forces into the emperor's personal imperial guards!

From this point of view, Emperor Mingzhen’s situation is indeed not optimistic!
