Chapter 844 Fudong Sheng (Part 2)

.The three feet of ice is not a day cold, and it is even more impossible for decisions related to the fate of the country and even the direction of the nation to be determined overnight.

In fact, at the end of the late Emperor Jiajing, even traced back to when Hu Zongxian was still the governor of the Southeast, Chen Si took advantage of the victory in the fight against the Japanese and began to try to lobby the big bosses in the court, and regard the reconciliation as his next strategic goal.

However, Xu Jie, who was in charge of the government at that time, did not support the reconnaissance. He believed that the killing of Xia Yan and Zeng Xian had proved that this matter could not be done. Now, it cannot be reconciled and does not need to be reconciled. Therefore, he firmly disagrees with this move and secretly blames silence. If he is wary, he will die." This is also one of the reasons why Xu Jie firmly supported Zhang Juzheng later, which led to the master-disciple power being together.

But Chen Si was not alone, generous and responsible. Gao Gong, who was promising to the hero, firmly supported him and regained the situation if conditions permit. After consultation, the Shanxi Gang also chose to stand on his side... This was the beginning of the honeymoon period of Chen Si and Yang Bo's relationship with the Southeast Gang and Shanxi Gang.

The two companies added a powerful figure to compete with the only big boss, which greatly influenced every tide in the early years of Longqing. Finally, after a series of fighting, the good tiger could not hold back the wolves. The only big boss left, and the Ming Dynasty entered a new stage of two major forces singing. So the reconciliation plan that linked them together was naturally implemented.

In fact, before this, the entire plan had been repeatedly revised and the draft was revised several years in advance. After confirming the plan to attack Ordos, the Military Information Department was born from the Pacification Department and began to penetrate Ordos City. After the earthquake last year, they learned that the city wall was damaged and needed repairs, so they immediately asked the Shanxi merchants who could do everything on the nine sides to obtain a subcontract for their construction business controlled by Bansheng. Because the Mongolians lacked craftsmen and were even less good at civil engineering construction, they had to complete the repair of Jinong City in Bansheng and the civilians.

With the strong operational capabilities of Shanxi merchants, this construction team controlled by the spies of the Military Intelligence Department became one of the five construction teams hired to restore Jinong City, responsible for restoring a section of the city wall nearly 300 feet west. It was ridiculous that when they carefully mixed the raw materials of explosives into the convoy and smuggled them to the city of Jinong City, they found that the Mongols were unsuspecting. They never expected that... these good friends from Bansheng came with bad intentions.

Just as the Mongolians were watching, "workers, when they were working normally during the day and started work at night, they filled hundreds of explosive packs disguised as adobe bricks" into the cracks in the city wall. The explosive packs were wrapped with oil paper soaked in tung oil to prevent the invasion of moisture in the adobe bricks. Then they were sealed layer by layer with real bricks, turning this section of the city wall into a huge bomb... In order to ensure that everything was foolproof, the Military Information Department conducted an experiment in an abandoned city in Shanxi. It was found that too much explosive was not needed. As long as the location and the rigidity of the confined space was good enough, it could overturn the seemingly unbreakable city wall.

The ancients could not have imagined that the Han people could use such tricks, so where could they be prepared for it? Although they carefully checked the quality of the city wall on the day of acceptance, the people from the Military Information Department did not cut corners. If they checked carefully, it would be impossible to open the built city walls, so naturally they could not find out the materials.

So there was a scene where Lu Gang offered a plan to break the city, and the Ming army attacked the area of ​​the Western City Wall at all costs...

The Mongolian army on the city was not aware of it. When they saw the Ming army installing a few small explosive packs, they were so scared that they retreated. They looked at each other in a while. They were only a little careful and fell to the ground, but in vain...

After a short ten seconds, the world suddenly seemed to stagnate for a moment, and then accompanied by the explosion sound of the sky and cracking, the sky shaking and the earth terrifying shock waves overturned the creatures within a radius of several miles to the ground. Stones, soil, weapons, and even people were thrown into the sky by airflows from unknown sources. Huge smoke and dust rose up and enveloped everyone's sight.

Because Qi Jiguang's podium was still far away, he held the railing tightly and finally could stand in front of him, but his ears were buzzing, and he was stunned by the terrifying explosion. But soon he woke up and stared at the smoke and dust in front of him. When the dust gradually fell, he saw that a gap of more than a hundred feet appeared at the wall.

Qi Jiguang slapped his palm on the railing and said, "Beat the drum!" "Bongdongdongdongdongdongdong" The war drum that was urging people to advance was ringing on the battlefield. The troops preparing to attack the city got up from the ground and saw that the city wall blocking inward collapsed for a long time. The soldiers were immediately excited and followed their respective officers and rushed to the gap like a tide.

The Mongolian army was guarding the city, so the damage naturally suffered much higher than that of the Ming army, so the charge began. The Mongolian soldiers were far behind the city walls, but they still struggled to get up.

Such a wide gap seems to declare that the Mongols' city walls are lost, so they can only retreat into the city to start street fighting...

However, when the brave soldiers rushed to the break of the city wall, they were about to rush into the city, they found a white "flock of sheep pouring out from the gap.

This made many smart soldiers a little stunned, not to mention because of Qi Jiguang's recruitment standards. The Qi family army was all pure and good peasant. To put it bluntly, they were well-developed and simple-minded. Seeing the dense flock of sheep rushing out, the soldiers who had already been determined to die in battle stopped. As the best military strategist, Qi Jiguang listed various possible situations on the battlefield in "Soldier Training Documents" in detail and told the officers and soldiers how to deal with it. For a long time, the soldiers of the Qi family army have been accustomed to dealing with various situations according to the methods taught by the officers.

However, even Qi Jiguang could not have imagined that the Mongolian army would use this method to block the gap in the city wall... In the city, hundreds of Mongolian cavalrymen were desperately twitching the horse whip in their hands, shouting loudly to drive the sheep forward. The sheep were precious property of the Ordos tribe. After receiving the news of the Ming army's invasion, people drove them to the city to avoid the war. But now with Zhong Jinbeji's order, they had to contribute their contributions to the ground. However, everyone knows that once Jinnong City is captured, the cattle and sheep of talent will be stolen by the Ming army. At this time, no one has any selfishness. Everything is just to block the gap." The defenders on the city can reorganize their defenses and turn the tide!

The initiator of all this, Princess Zhong Jin of Ordos, was riding on a horse at this moment, watching the situation in front of her nervously in the rear. Although she expected that the Ming army had a plan to break the city, she did not expect that the other party could directly overturn the city wall and gather her under the city. The five hundred warriors who were ready to respond would have crushed most of them to death. If she hadn't stayed away from the city wall in order to mobilize the flock, she would have been reluctant to escape.

Now no one can take over now. "I can only ask these sheep warriors...

Why use sheep instead of horses or cattle? Because sheep can also be on flat ground in places without roads and will not be blocked by the ruins of the city walls.

Faced with the innocent flock of sheep that was rushing out like a tide, the Ming soldiers rushed. They were holding the most advanced Longqing style in their hands. The first bullet that could be activated at any time was so important. It even matters whether they could grab the city wall. How could they be used to kill sheep? And so many sheep could not be beaten. They could only use the bayonet on the gun to slap them.

However, the Mongolians lacked everything, but they were not short of cattle and sheep. There were too many flocks of sheep that were gushing out, which was really as hard as a tide. Even the mandarin duck formation that the Qi family army relied on for fame could not stop the vast flock of sheep. In the blink of an eye, people and sheep were mixed together, and the scene was inconsistent, which made the former commander Zhang Yuanxun vomit blood directly. More and more flocks of sheep were rushing out. The ones in front jumped in front of the moat, but the ones in the back were driven out. This pushed the Ming army into the pontoon and retreated to the pontoon bridge, and many were wrapped in the flock. They were completely dizzy. The worst thing was those who rushed into the city and found that the city was still boundless and endless flocks, and immediately had the urge to swallow a gun and commit suicide.

"Jin is coming soon! Zhang Yuanxun's black face turned astonished: "Please support from artillery fire! The sound of golden gongs sounded, and the soldiers on the bridge retreated in depression." This was the first time the Qi family army retreated. It was not because they were defeated by the enemy, but because they were forced by a group of sheep." It was so embarrassing.

At this time, the sharp whistle was also sounded. The soldiers in the moat could swim and pulled those who could not water. They swam back desperately. As for the Ming army who was still trapped in the flock, they could only try their best to protect the vital points and lay on the ground begging for a miracle.

The rumbling sound of cannons rang out quickly, and the shells roared into the flock of sheep, and the expensive copper-shelled sulphurs were pouring down like money. In a blink of an eye, black smoke was densely filled with fire, and sheep corpses were everywhere. The flock was frightened. They fled along the city walls in a panic, and many jumped into the water. After the sheep grew hairs that had been in winter, they drowned soon. The fire and death made the docile flock of sheep finally no longer obedient, and they let the malaria herders drive them and no longer take a step forward.

Escape in front and unable to move forward behind, the sheep army at the gap in the city wall finally turned into sheep corpses all over the ground, emitting a smell of barbecue.

At this time, the outstanding shooting instructors of the Ming army played a role. They commanded the artillery, extended the range to the city, used tinder oil bombs to suppress the Mongolian army's sheep troops, and prevented them from using the same trick again... The tinder oil bombs carefully developed by the military factory have limited fuel filling, and the killing effect is not good, and the threat to the targets is very average. So they only brought a small number and were prepared to set fire. Who knew that this flashy thing came in handy... After all, animals are afraid of fire, let alone sheep with hair?

At the same time, I did not forget the city walls on both sides of the gap. The shells roared upwards, suppressing the enemy troops at the top of the city and covering their own side to launch a second attack.

The organizational capabilities of the Qi family army may be comparable to those of the Spanish Royal Infantry in the far West. At least in Asia, they were unparalleled. They soon regrouped and led the siege by three thousand households. Zhang Yuanxun personally supervised the battle with a knife. If he couldn't take it down this time, he would really wipe his neck with his backhand.

The Ming army made a comeback, and their humiliation just now made them angry. The pride of the Qi family army was not allowed to fail again. The soldiers screamed, rushed across the floating bridge with red eyes, stepped on the thick sheep corpse, and rushed to the ruins of the city wall.

One "one" one, one "one", one, one "one" one, one "one", one, one "one", one "one", one "one", one "one", one "one", one "one", one "one", one "one" one "one", one "one", one "one", one "one", one "one" one "one, one "one", one "one"

At this time, the defenders on the front of the city were suppressed by dense artillery fire and could not even raise their heads. The flock of sheep was so scared that they were unable to move forward. It seemed that the city wall was lost that could no longer resist the Ming army's advance.

However, the blocking just now still worked so that at least reinforcements from other places took the opportunity to gather under the city wall. As soon as the artillery fire stopped at the gap, it rushed out from both sides, blocking the Ming army who had just rushed across the floating bridge, bent their bows and arrows to shoot at them. The Ming army fired back. The two sides were thirty steps apart, and both caused great damage to the other party.

Since the war started, the bows and arrows that the Mongolian army relied on for survival have been defeated in front of the Ming army's new muskets, but the time for them to withdraw from the stage of history has not yet come, at least in the hands of the Mongolians who shot sharply. Their precise hits and rapid firing rate are incomparable to muskets.

After firing a shot, the Ming army soldier had no chance to fire the second shot, so he could only rush forward desperately and try to catch the enemy's fight as soon as possible. However, the Mongolian army's shooter could shoot the second and third arrows. The depression accumulated since the war and the hatred for the invaders were added to the wolf's teeth long arrows. Every time the bowstring sounded, a Ming army fell to the ground with a humming groan. At this distance where you can see the snare on the other party's face, the armor could not resist the damage of such armor-breaking arrows.

The Mongolian army on both sides also braved the artillery fire above its head, fired downwards with bows and arrows and earth cannons to support defense. The Ming army suffered countless casualties. "...If it were replaced by ordinary Ming army, it would inevitably retreat under such dense arrows and stones.

However, their opponent is not the ordinary Ming army but the famous Qi family army!

Twelve years ago, Qi Jiguang formed this special army in the southeast. Since then, they have been closely linked to this glorious name, and under his light, they have fought for more than ten years, and won great battles, never defeated! Although the soldiers nowadays are not the faces they were from before, such an army has produced military spirits like a furnace, transforming every simple peasant who joins into excellent soldiers with steel will, fearless courage, and strict discipline!

Now, they are not facing Japanese pirates, but Tartars who are a hundred times more harmful to the Ming Dynasty! They are enough to endure sacrifices, climb up the ruins like hills, and launch a fearless charge! Although the Mongols' bows and arrows are still accurate and dense. However, the Qi family army has rich combat experience, especially this kind of complex terrain, and they seem to have returned to the rugged and difficult mountains in the southeast, flexibly dodging. While minimizing sacrifices, they are advancing quickly.

Finally, the vanguard approached, and the Mongolians' bows and arrows were no longer used. They pulled out their scimitars, and they fought with the Ming army's spears and bayonets with red eyes. The Mongolians had superb sword skills, high martial arts skills, and were better than the Ming army's single combat. However, the Qi family army had extremely high tactical qualities. Although they were both arrows and stones above their heads, they were difficult to stand firm under their feet, and they were not always partners around them. However, they still formed small three-talent formations nearby to cover each other and cooperate with each other to fight the enemy.

The two sides fought repeatedly on this three hundred feet of city wall. As more and more people climbed up the Ming army, the Mongolian army's defense line gradually showed signs of losing its support.

This change was clearly seen by Qi Jiguang, who was watching the battle calmly. He snatched the drumsticks of the drummer beside him, "dong dong dong dong dong" and used the battle drums to beat the drums. Seeing that the commander beat the drums himself, all the drummers dared not be negligent. He beat the skin of the drums desperately, and the rapid drum sound that made people's blood rush spread throughout the battlefield.

The three Qianhu, who led the troops, heard it. He knew that the commander was urging them, so he no longer cared about his own safety and personally led his troops to the front line and met the Mongolian army directly.

When the soldiers of the Qi family army heard it, they burst out with infinite power, shouted loudly, and fought desperately! With the sudden force of the Ming army, the Mongolian army's defense line was shaking, and their morale seemed to be affected.

At this critical moment, the Mongolian army burst into a terrifying cheer on the city wall, shouting loudly, Zhong Jinbeji! Zhong Jinbeji "It turned out that they saw the princess of the Ordos tribe, who had taken off her red cloak, held two swords, and personally led the reinforcement gap of Jinong Guards to come!

The next moment, the Mongolian warriors would never forget it, and they would never expect the scene to happen. They saw that their prairie pearls were not just to bring reinforcements, but to directly join the battle and meet the Ming army in person!

, "Protect Beji!". The men of the Ordos tribe were so angry that they all had their courage regardless of the bayonets they had put on. They even jumped down from the city, hugged the Ming army and bit them on the ground.
