In the evening, one hundred and twenty Tiger Roaring Cannons and ten Dragon Roaring Cannons began to bombard the city of Dalat.
For most people, this is a shocking scene that they have never seen in their lives. More than a hundred artillery roared at the same time, and the sky was covered with flames and smoke. The mountains and streets in the inner city of Dalat were
Among them, the shells roared down one after another, and the smoke and fire from the explosion filled the whole city.
The solid iron ball bombarded the cliff, causing rocks to fly and splash in all directions. The explosive bomb exploded above the city wall and over the cliff, shooting out countless fragments. The iron ball shrapnel chipped the trees and grass into pieces, igniting the fire.
Fires broke out on several cliffs covered with grass.
There is also a kind of cannonball that falls in Dalat City and emits a large amount of dazzling white smoke, covering a distance of more than ten feet in radius, making people blind and unable to breathe.
In short, whether they were friendly or foes, when these artillery roared, they were shocked in their hearts. For Batu Munch and others, this shock was more filled with fear.
The Ming army in front of them was not the kind of Ming army they knew before that was vulnerable to cavalry. This had been confirmed in previous battles. But although the battle a few days ago was frightening, it was actually
This is not the full display of their power. The current Ming army is.
No wonder they dare to march straight in, no wonder they seem not afraid of anything. It turns out that what they have is beyond their imagination.
The impression given to Batu Monk and others is that the Ming Dynasty's soldiers and horses are playing something completely new. A brand-new display of combat methods and capabilities. And the Tatars themselves are like a
The ignorant idiot has entered a brand new world and knows nothing about everything in this world. Unfortunately, he still thinks that he has the strongest power, and he is still saying that the Tatar cavalry is invincible. It is like a
clown.

The bombardment lasted for a short time, which was surprisingly short. When the roar was shocking, everything suddenly stopped. Except for the echo that still echoed in the sky over the grassland, everything was quiet.
The gunners of the Ming Dynasty navy began to quickly clean the gun barrels, wipe away the smoke, seal the gun barrels, and cover them with oilcloth. The operators of more than a dozen artillery among them gathered in a pile and began to shout slogans to re-erect the artillery.
In less than half the time of incense injection, each artillery fired only three or five shells, and everything was over.
This is just a test and debugging. More than a hundred artillery pieces have been officially erected for the first time after experiencing the bumps of long-distance transportation, traveling with the army for thousands of miles, and experiencing the test of wind, sand and heat. Naturally, they have to go through some debugging. Look.
Check to see if any parts are damaged, whether the position needs to be readjusted, whether the artillery itself needs to adjust its posture, reinforce the chassis, etc.
It is already evening and is not suitable for siege. Expensive artillery shells cannot be thrown randomly into the city. It is necessary to destroy the opponent's defense facilities through precise shooting and hit its key positions. All of this requires precise measurement of the shooting elements.
and adjustments. You can't do it when it's dark.
But Zhang Yanling actually did not realize how much shock and horror this test-firing, which he considered to be an ordinary test, brought to both the enemy and ourselves.
From the beginning to the end of the bombardment, Zhang Lun's mouth never closed. After the artillery test, Zhang Lun held Zhang Yanling's hand.
"Brother Trillium, I'm really convinced. No wonder you dare to speak big words and say you want to flatten the Tatars and drive them to Mobei so that they will never dare to go south to herd horses. It turns out that you have so many hidden treasures.
Baby. These artillery pieces,
Did you make them all? Although I knew that you made a lot of firearms, I didn't expect that there were so many and they were so powerful. With so many sharp weapons, how could you not use them to your advantage? Who else in the world is your opponent?
"Zhang Lun admired.
Zhang Yanling corrected him with a smile: "Brother Lun, you should say who in the world is my rival of the Ming Dynasty. These firearms are all made for my Ming Dynasty, not for myself. And the emperor knows about my making of firearms. The emperor has given permission,
That’s why I dare to do this. This section must be made clear.”
Zhang Lun chuckled and said: "Brother Yanling, are you afraid that people will say that you make firearms privately and slander you? Don't worry. With so many artillery and blunderbuss in your hand, if you want to do something treasonous and unethical, you will have to do it early.
So I did it. If anyone talks too much about this, I will be the first one not to agree."

Zhang Yanling sighed: "I don't know how many people secretly slandered me about making firearms, so I have to be careful. If everyone is like you, the British father-in-law, knowing that I, Zhang Yanling, am loyal to the Ming Dynasty, I have no different intentions."
.Then I don’t have to be so cautious.”
Zhang Lun waved his hands and said: "Don't worry about those guys talking nonsense. Your loyalty to the Ming Dynasty will be revealed. But I only thought you made some blunderbuss and artillery before, but I didn't know you made so many big things."
We were covered with oilcloth along the way, so I didn’t take a close look. When I saw this posture today, I was really shocked. You said, if these things are popularized in the entire army... No... Even if it is just on my regimental equipment,
Doesn’t it mean that our capital camp will be invincible?"
Zhang Yanling smiled and said: "Brother Lun, the cost of an ordinary artillery piece is 10,000 taels of silver. This does not include the subsequent consumption of shells, gunpowder, etc. The cost of labor and all subsequent consumption, a cannon from casting to scrapping costs approximately
Fifteen thousand taels of silver. How much do you want? Bring the silver and I will make it for you. Of course, the court must allow it."
"Fifteen thousand taels per door?" Zhang Lun smacked his lips and said.
"This is still a friendship price. Otherwise it would be more. To tell you the truth, I have invested all my wealth in it, including several million taels of silver. I am worried that I will not be able to get my money back. Since Brother Lun has this idea, why don't I give it back?
Can the Empress of Beijing give a discount to the imperial court and ask the imperial court to purchase equipment for the army? With the size of our Ming army, we still need to purchase three to five hundred artillery pieces and hundreds of thousands of blunderbuss. How about I return the capital?"
Zhang Yanling smiled.
Zhang Lun calculated in his mind that one cannon cost 15,000 taels, and one hundred guns equaled 1.5 million taels. Not to mention three to five hundred guns, even two hundred guns would have consumed all the military expenditures. Not to mention
Talking about hundreds of thousands of bird guns, Zhang Yanling once said that a bird gun costs one hundred taels, let alone one hundred thousand, ten thousand will cost one million taels. Isn't this a joke?
"Where did the imperial court get so much money? Let's forget it. Just pretend I didn't say anything." Zhang Lun said with a smile.
Zhang Yanling secretly laughed in his heart. Everyone who saw these artillery was jealous, but he refused to pay. He was the biggest enemy of the Ming Dynasty. He spent money to make firearms and had to carry them with him in war. People like Zhang Lun still wanted to pay for nothing.
It is absolutely impossible to take your own.
Because of this matter of making firearms, I don’t know how many people arranged for Zhu Houzhao. If Zhang Yanling had not reported it to Zhu Houzhao long ago and got Zhu Houzhao’s permission, this matter would probably never end.
In order to prevent others from saying that he secretly made firearms, Zhang Yanling mentioned it to Zhu Houzhao dozens of times, asking the imperial court to allocate funds for the purchase, and he was responsible for supervising the manufacture. The firearms he made could be equipped with imperial soldiers and horses. Naturally, he did this to reassure Zhu Houzhao.
Dispel his doubts so that Zhu Houzhao will not be worried too.

Zhu Houzhao calculated the debt and found that the court could not afford it. It was better to let Zhang Yanling do it by himself. After all, Zhang Yanling spent his own money and brought these firearms to fight for him during the war. Why not? Zhang Yanling
He also knew that the imperial court could not afford the equipment, so he just said it to show that he was magnanimous.
In fact, for Zhang Yanling, it was not because of the money or to make a profit from it. It was because things like firearms could not be spread easily. These weapons of murder were very useful in their own hands, but if they were spread at will, they would become a disaster.
Especially if these firearms that are ahead of their time fall into the hands of enemy countries or careerists, it will cause even more serious consequences.
The sharpest sword must be held in your own hands. The manufacturing process and drawings of all muskets and artillery are top secret, and secrets must not be leaked or spread at will. This is a basic principle.
…
A full moon hangs in the sky. Under the moonlight, the grassland is quiet, and the Yellow River flows with a low roar.
In Dalat City, in a house under a high cliff at the rear, Batu Meng summoned the generals in the city to discuss countermeasures.
Today's artillery test firing by the Ming army shocked everyone. Batu Munch could see it, and all the generals felt timid. Because the power displayed by the opponent's firearms had made them completely lose confidence.
The range of those artillery was far beyond previous expectations. I thought that even the city wall might not be able to be attacked by those artillery with a distance of two miles. However, during the test firing in the evening, half of the city area was covered by most of the opponent's artillery.
Under the cover of artillery fire, the range of the artillery in the arc fortifications ranged from three to four miles.
What's even more terrifying is that the ten artillery pieces on the earth platform directly hit the cliff behind them. That's a range of more than five miles.
This means that the entire city of Dalat is actually within the range of their artillery. Anywhere in the city is unsafe and may be attacked by artillery.

In this case, everything seemed to be very different from what was expected beforehand, and the military officers seemed to be mute by the Ming army's artillery fire. After the Ming army's artillery bombardment stopped, the entire city of Dalat fell silent.
"What's wrong with each of you? Are you scared? Are you timid?" Batu Munch shouted loudly at the silent generals in the room. From the moment they entered the door, they all drooped their heads and had no fighting spirit.
This made Batu Munch extremely angry.
"You are all eagles on the grassland and warriors of our Tatar tribe. What kind of enemies have we not seen? What kind of battles have we not experienced? We have come through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, but we have to be exposed.
Are those little tricks of the army and those firearms so scary that you wet your pants? Ridiculous, extremely ridiculous!" Batu Munch said sternly.
"Khan, those are no small tricks. The power and range of the Ming army's artillery may be difficult for us to resist. Dalat City may be difficult to defend." In the silence, a person said.
Batu Meng looked at the man angrily. The person speaking was Gunbilik Mori, the general manager of the Ordos tribe, the great farmer of the Tatar country.
"What did you say? Gunbili defeated Mori. At this time, you said such words to shake the morale of our army? What do you want?" Batu Meng said angrily as he stared at Gunbili defeated Mori.
"Great Khan, I am by no means swaying the morale of the army, nor am I timid. I am telling the truth. Great Khan, it was a wrong move for us to enter Dalat City to defend the city. I have told the Great Khan before that we should not
Huddled in the city. That was what people in the Ming Dynasty did. We should charge on the grassland to find their way out.
Contain them and use the mobility of my cavalry to attack them. Hiding in this broken city and allowing the Ming Dynasty people to attack the city calmly is a joke. It has disgraced my ancestors of the Yuan Dynasty. I will conquer Mo.
Japan would rather die on horseback than suffocate to death in this city." Gunpil defeated Mori and said loudly.
Batu Munch's eyes widened with a fierce light, and he said in a cold voice: "Brother Gunbili defeated Mozhi, are you saying that I, the Great Khan, am incompetent to lead the army? I am not as smart as you, Lord Jinong, and not as smart as you.
Are you capable? Did you lead you to a dead end?"
Gunbili defeated Mori and said in a deep voice: "I didn't say that. But the warriors of my Ordos tribe will never wait to die in the city. Great Khan, I request to lead my tribe's troops to fight. Tonight is the day
It’s a good opportunity to attack them. Their camp is undefended, so I lead my army to rush out and destroy their artillery. Please allow the Khan to agree.”
Batu Munch frowned and thought. He was a little moved.

"Gun Bili defeated Mo Ri. Don't think you can deceive us. You just saw that the situation was not right and wanted to take the opportunity to escape. Great Khan, Gun Bili defeated Mo Ri because he definitely wanted to escape. He wanted to lead his troops.
Take the opportunity to escape from here, and don’t be deceived by him.”
Someone on the side said loudly, that's Yisima.
Batu Munch was startled and looked up at Gunbilik Mozhi, his eyes full of suspicion and exploration.
"Yisima, you bitch is talking nonsense. How could I have such intention? You are so slanderous." Gunbilik Mori said angrily.
"Great Khan, Gunbilik Mori always acts according to the prevailing circumstances and cannot be trusted. Brother Yisima is right. We cannot let him lead the attack. He will run faster than a rabbit." Tur Jiang said coldly from the side.
road.
Gunbilik Mori was so angry that he pulled out his scimitar and roared: "You slandered me, you guys, I want to fight you. Turjiang, Yisi Ma, come on, come on, I will kill you today."
You...or you kill me. Die to prove my innocence."
Turjiang and Yisima drew their swords at the same time and rushed forward. How could they give in at this time? They had long disliked Gunbilik Mori. This guy had taken refuge in Oara before, and the two sides had fought.

Relying on Batu Meng, he also personally captured the little prince of Wala and dedicated it to Batu Meng. Although he had made meritorious service, this kind of person was despised by others. For the sake of the overall situation, the Great Khan valued him, but Yisi Ma and others did not.
Buy his account.
Loyalty and bravery are the most important qualities for warriors on the grassland. People like Gon Bili and Mo Ri do not deserve respect.
