Chapter 76: Yingzhou War 2

Nearly half of the army are well-equipped Beijing troops, and their equipment and ordnance are the most complete and complete in the country. Supplies are first guaranteed, so the standard of "ten people per 100 households" can at least be guaranteed.

In this nearly 40,000 army, there are nearly 3,000 guns in total, including more than 1,000 soldiers equipped with firearms in the Shenji Camp. In this short period of time, 3,000 firemans gathered in a neat line. A hillside behind them was high, and all kinds of artillery were arranged here, waiting.

Wu Zheng understood that their role of 2,000 cavalry was to cover the flanks of the 3,000 gunners and the defense of artillery positions.

With the help of these artifacts, Wu Zheng made up his mind. At this time, the messengers came to order, and the army immediately rested but did not camp. The army that had just been silent suddenly became a little noisy. Wu Zheng also came down from the horse and sat together with several brocade guards to eat something to rest.

"It's strange that I just saw that this army had begun. Why did it suddenly stop marching at this time?" A brocade guard with a beard asked curiously.

"Look up and you will know." At this time, a voice came, and Wu Zheng and others were shocked. Looking back, it turned out to be Zheng Zhiliu.

"Look, it's foggy." Zheng Zhiliu smiled at Wu Zheng. Got it. I'm here to tell you something. Don't say that I don't take care of my own people and let you know some news. We can't fight without the backbone! The soldiers were brought here to fight without knowing anything, and this military spirit can't be high. Kuama, who just came from Yingzhou City, reported that Wang's soldiers had arrived on the hillside in the west. If it hadn't been for the reinforcements all the way, even if they had arrived from the southwest, they would have been defeated long ago. Yingzhou City is now estimated to have fallen into the hands of the Tari. Alas..." Zheng Zhiliu changed his tone slightly and then said, "We are now a three-way army gathering here. All right!" Zheng Zhiliu stood up and raised his hand to cheer up Wu Zheng's group of people who were not a few years younger than him.

"Now there is a night fog, and it looks dark around, and Boyan Monk doesn't dare to act. Tomorrow morning, when the fog dissipates, it will be the time for the decisive battle of the army!"

Zheng Zhiliu is right, but Boyan Monk is afraid. When the battle just began, reinforcements came all the way from the southwest and Wang Xun's regiment, and nearly 10,000 cavalry led by Zhang Kun and others on the side of the Boyan army were coveted. Although their threat ability was not great, the cavalry with the same mobility as them appeared on one side. It was impossible for Boyan Khan. The military decision has an impact. By the evening of the battle, Wang Xun's army hurriedly retreated to Yingzhou County under the cover of Zhang Kun cavalry, harassment and side response, which made Bo Yan angry and surprised. Unexpectedly, the weak Ming cavalry also had the courage to take the initiative to fight with our grassland cavalry. Immediately, the general Altai ordered 5,000 elite cavalry to attack, but I didn't expect that the other party would pull back when he saw his charge! This Ming man harassed them, but this also made Bo Yan worried. Since the Ming army has come all the way, it is possible to come to the second way. Or is it a reinforcement today, including the 10,000 troops of Wang Xun, the general of the Ming people?

The Tarans became suspicious, because the number of soldiers and horses on these three routes is too small. If there are only these troops here, how can they "disperse the troops that are already at a disadvantage?" Bo Yan had concerns and was afraid that there would be some tricks hidden in Yingzhou City. The tricks of the Han people were indeed cunning and could not be prevented.

It happened to be foggy at night, so that the Tatars should not rush to attack. However, although the main force of Boyan delivered most of the engineering equipment to Hulu to take away, there were still several small stone throwers left, small to small, but it was more than enough to attack Yingzhou County. Since the fog can't be tested at night, Boyan ordered the craftsmen in the army to choose a mountain highland to assemble a small return gun, and chisel the mountain stone for ammunition in case the fog disperses tomorrow morning...

Launch the attack.

The attack has begun, although it is night. But the city of Datong is brightly lit. Some are not only the light of lights, but also burning houses, straw, and all other combustible things, including the dead.

There is a rumble of killing outside, but Cao Muwen is still lying peacefully**. No matter how you shout to kill and fight, I will not move. There was a loud noise when I heard it. A huge fire suddenly appeared in Cao Muwen's eyes. A huge burning boulder fell near Cao Muwen's house. Suddenly, the fire lit up. While the boulder hit a huge pit, the sparks and gravel scattered from the boulders ignited the surrounding ignitable objects when it hit the ground. Among them is Cao Muwen's door.

"The good wooden door at the end!" Cao Muwen shouted that it was a pity. He didn't want to go to bed with the door open at night. He hurried to the sound of the door burning. He got up from ** first, then found a ladle and scooped a large ladle of water in the water tank. He kicked open the crackling treasure door and splashed at the place on fire. After a few squeaking, a few wis of smoke came out.

"Wow..." Cao Muwen breathed a breath, threw the ladle casually, and fell down again.

Cao Muwen and Wei Bingwen raised their heads from a small stack on the west side of the Datong city wall and looked out, and suddenly lowered their heads. I was so shocked.

Ah... After a few screams, there were a few loud noises. A huge stone hit the gate of the urn city where Wei Bingwen was located, and several unlucky archers fell down with the collapsed platform.

Several people went down one after another, accompanied by gravel like a drizzle. Wei Bingwen actually saw the god in a daze. It happened that a young archer unfortunately fell down in front of Wei Bingwen, with his back to the ground, and only heard a thump. Well, it should be a broken spine." Cao Muwen stared at the little brother and thought bitterly in his heart. The little brother then sprayed Cao Muwen's face with a mouthful of old blood. He was watching in a daze and was caught off guard, and a sudden touch of red enveloped his vision.

Ah! With amazing, Cao Muwen reacted and looked at the dying soldier who had fallen. The soldier was also looking at him, and the spirit in his eyes was gradually lost. Although it was basically impossible for the little brother to have any color in his eyes when he was alive, the only thing now was red. This is the color of his face, and his own blood is dyed red. Wei Bingwen was still looking stupidly, as if he wanted to do something. At least he picked up the fallen bow and arrow, but he didn't. It seemed that the flying "man" fell in front of him and made him not recover for a while.

Cao Muwen's throat was a little astringent. He said some auspicious words of "one way" before the little archer died, but he couldn't say it. He could only wait quietly in the noise in his ears, waiting... waiting for the soldier to close his green eyes.

Cao Muwen turned a deaf ear to the dangerous sounds around him. He has been waiting for the soldier to die. Although the two did not meet when they were alive, one of them is now half dead. Cao Muwen has never seen death, but it's not as sudden and easy as this box...

..................

Another silence.

"Fuck!" Cao Muwen cursed, "He died with his eyes open! Zhang Fei!" He suddenly raised his hand and closed the soldier's eyelids. The soldier died a long time ago, but he died with his eyes open.

"XX, you! I'm wasting so much feelings! Still staying in such a dangerous place. Wei Bingwen hurriedly moved out of this stack. This urn has been smashed into pieces by the boulder fired by the tar return gun outside the city. At this time, Wei Bingwen, who had been petrified for a long time, looked at the terrain and knew that it was just straight to this huge return gun. Wei Bingwen could also clearly see the stones below, which were very large, and you could clearly see several from the wall. .

"Damn it! Dozens!" Wei Bingwen hugged his head and shouted to remind Cao Muwen, "There is still a lot of ammunition in the bottom of the Tatari!" I guess we still have to go here! Let's run first!" After saying that, he ran away first...

"Damn it! Am I obsessed with ghosts? After Cao Muwen was not reconciled, he saw Wei Bingwen hurried down the city and followed him in a hurry. After a lot of psychological struggle, Cao Muwen decided to go out. Unexpectedly, I met a Mr. Qian in the city as soon as I went out, but I knew that Cao Muwen was a brocade guard. Originally, this Mr. Qian hated the brocade guard. During the war, Mr. Zhu ordered all the officers and soldiers in the city to have the responsibility to defend the enemy, so he honestly and rudely called Cao Muwen and asked him to push a car of arrows with a few of his men. Go up the wall to support the archers. Cao Muwen suddenly shouted bad luck in his heart, but when he saw that the eyes of the people around him were bright, he didn't dare to refuse, so he had to respond and go up to the wall with a group of people. Not long after, Cao Muwen met Wei Bingwen. The two saw arrows flying across the wall, and they did not focus on armor. Isn't it dangerous, so they found the barbican platform to hide temporarily. Then the following scene happened.

"Wow..." Cao Muwen breathed violently and reached out to wipe the blood on his face.

The art of war says, "ten times more than the enemy, besiege and trap it; five times more than the enemy, gather and annihilate it; three times more than the enemy, suddenly break it; twice as much as the enemy, fight against it." If you want to attack the top of the city, it is different. Basically, in the era of cold weapons, if you want to attack the other party, it is difficult to break the city quickly without four to five times the strength. At present, there are only 20,000 soldiers in Datong City. In addition to the main soldiers and guest soldiers, there are villagers and militias. In addition, Wei Bingwen, a veteran of brocade guards who has never been to the battlefield, has also been to the head of the city, and the Ming army is not at a disadvantage in terms of military strength.
