Chapter 719 tribal distress

I climbed the Great Wall from the steep stone steps of the huge blue stone. At first, I didn't realize it, but once I stepped on the Great Wall, I knew the height of the high wall. The height of the Great Wall is different. The wall of the Great Wall in the Badaling area is two feet high, the area of Jiayuguan is 1.8 feet high, and the mountain customs area is two feet three feet high. Each varies depending on whether the mountain is steepness or not or the need for defense.

However, this section of the northeast of the salt pool is actually as high as five feet, which is 14 or five meters high. The reason is actually very simple. First of all, this is an important defense pass between the Hetao area and the prominent part of Ningxia Town, so that Ningxia Town is like a prison in the deep river belt area. A fast nail requires excellent defensive measures. This is also for so many years. Although the border war in Ningxia Town has continued, the Taran has never broken through here. On the other hand, in the area of Weizhou, Datong Xuanfu, where many soldiers gathered, there are often cases where the Great Wall pass is broken through.

On the other hand, the mountains here are gentle, unlike the peaks of Helan Mountain and Shizui Mountain in the northwest. The Great Wall winding in it does not need to be built too high, because it has the support of the terrain. But it is different here. The mountain can't stop the enemy's footsteps, so they can only make up for it by building higher walls on the low mountain.

In a word, the height of the city wall here is almost the highest in all sections of the Great Wall.

Standing on the Great Wall and looking northwest from the mouth of the tower of the neck, the low mountains were dark, but in the dark mountains, they were full of bonfires and torches, like laying a glowing carpet on the mountains in the north.

"General, that is the camp of nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses. You see, more than four miles wide, and more than a dozen hills, large and small, are all covered. Damn, are the sarats smashing the pot and selling iron?" Xu Tai pointed out.

Song Nan secretly marveled in his heart. If he hadn't been used to the big scene, he would have peed his pants in fear. 100,000 troops spread out on the opposite side, like a big net coming to his face and could not avoid it. He could see the horror of his attack.

Song Nan looked down at the outer wall on the northwest side and suddenly felt much more stable. The Great Wall here is not only high, but also the terrain chosen when building is very good. Several mountains hovering around are the highest here, and there are many steep slopes and cliffs in the north. No wonder Xu Tai can survive under the attack of 100,000 Tartan soldiers and horses. Down, this terrain is also very helpful.

Under the leadership of Xu Tai, Song Nan walked slowly along the Great Wall, and many busy soldiers stopped one after another. Most of them were soldiers in the Beijing camp of the martial arts camp, so they all recognized Song Nan. Someone shouted excitedly, "It's General Song. General Song came here to fight side by side with us."

The news quickly spread all over the army, and the Ming army suddenly boiled up; Xu Tai sighed, "It's still the prestige of adults. Hearing the arrival of adults, these guys are going to come up and lick their toes."

Song Nan smiled and nodded to both sides, pointed to several gaps that were busy repairing and said, "What's wrong? Have the Taran soldiers ever attacked? How did this wall collapse?

Xu Tai hurriedly said, "This is from the Tartar cannon. Good guy, it's really awesome. A few shots opened the gap. Fortunately, the wall was thick and only exploded for a short time. I ordered someone to move stones from under the wall to block it. It will be fine.

Song Nan was shocked and said, "Cannon? Eagle cannon?"

"Yes, these Tatars brought dozens of them, but I don't know why they only shot dozens of cannons sporadically and became dumb. Maybe they don't have enough ammunition. Adults don't have to worry."

How can Song Nan not worry? Originally, there was such a strong Great Wall as a defensive barrier, and Song Nan's confidence increased greatly. Even if the fortress behind was broken through and the Tatar soldiers attacked the wall on both sides, they could still defend it; but if there was an eagle cannon, the result would be different. No matter how thick the wall is, it can't withstand the bombardment of the cannon, and the result is bound to collapse. This eagle cannon is a confidant. Moreover, Xu Tai said that the Tartar did not seem to have enough shells, which was untenable. How could the Tartars come all the way with heavy firearms without preparing enough ammunition? That's what fools do.

Song Nan's command post is located in a four-way beacon. Although the place is not large, it can only be completed here. The soldiers moved a large stone and put two stones under it, which is Song Nan's handsome case. There are several temporarily fabricated futons around it, which are the seats of the generals.

Mingzi's torch was inserted between the bi and squeaked. A simple pre-war meeting was also held here. All the middle and senior generals sat quietly on the futon and listened to Song Nan's analysis of the situation and the analysis of the upcoming battle.

"Thank you all for your hard work. We ran all the way and finally came here chasing the tail of the trot. No, it should be said that we rushed to the head of the little prince of Tatar and cut off his way home. But you have also witnessed the situation. The 100,000 troops who came to the rescue are on the opposite side, full of mountains and fields, with more hair than our dicks. It looks really scary.

The generals laughed, and the general Sven's dirty words were also unambiguous. Some people muttered in their hearts: They had just scraped a clean before the expedition. What do you say?"

"I just heard from Marquis Xu that thetars had an eagle cannon. Originally, I was very confident in this defensive battle, but now it seems that to be honest, I'm a little worried; why? We have all seen the power of the eagle cannon, which is a sharp weapon for siege. No matter how strong our wall is, it will collapse even if dozens of shells are bombarded.

Xu Tai opened his mouth and was stopped by Song Nan by raising his hand.

"The previous Taran did not hit much. I heard that only a few shots were fired before the ceasefire. Lord Xu estimated that they were short of ammunition, which naturally made some sense. As far as I know, the shells of this kind of cannon and their gold will be lost as soon as they are bombarded. The Tatars are very poor, so their shells must be limited, but if they are reluctant to fight. Cannon, that's absolutely impossible, otherwise what would they do with these shells? My guess is that the reason why they don't use it now is to wait for the right time. What is the best time? Can anyone tell me?

Wang Yong got up and said, "I think they must be waiting for tomorrow morning, when the little prince of Tatar marches from the salt pool to the inside, attack inside and outside, and then bombard the city wall, and then hit us in a hurry."

Song Nan nodded approvingly and said, "Wang Ji is right. The Tatans must think so. Tomorrow, when the Tatar soldiers in the salt pool break through the southwest fortress and the soldiers come to the inside of the Great Wall Pass, the Tatars in the north will definitely attack at all costs. The so-called eagle cannon will definitely bombard them at all costs and only collapse a few places. We Our defense line was broken through, and things went wrong. Don't forget that we are less than 20,000 soldiers and horses. Together, they are 110,000 horses. If there is no Great Wall barrier, we will be destroyed.

The generals became restless. Originally, they were full of confidence and suddenly felt uneasy when Song Nan said this. If Song Nan was unfounded and worried about the world, the problem is that what Song Nan said is likely to happen. Make up for the situation after the collapse of the city wall, more than 10,000 people and more than 100,000 People fight hand-to-hand, which is comparable to: eggs smashing stones must be smashed to pieces.

"This...General, what should I do? The humble position is far from considering this section. If so, how can we fight this battle? Xu Tai's eyes were a little straight, and the momentum on his body also disappeared.

Song Nan said solemnly, "So, the only way to keep the entrance and delay the enveloping of our army until tomorrow afternoon is to keep the wall, and the only way to keep the wall is to keep the Great Wall from falling, and the only way to keep the Great Wall from being bombarded and collapse by the cannon is..."

Wang Yong suddenly said, "It's been a hundred times to destroy their cannons."

The generals opened their eyes in horror. Song Nan got up after the simple handsome case and waved his hand violently: "Yes, this batch of eagle cannons must be destroyed so that they cannot pose a threat to my city wall. This is the key. I know that this will be very risky. That's why I have to lead the team myself. Who is willing to follow me to destroy this flying eagle cannon?

Wang Yong's scalp was numb, and he still had to come. The general couldn't change his problem of being involved in danger in person, so he had to take someone to do it by himself. So he hurriedly said, "This matter can't be used by the general. Just lead people to solve it."

"Yes, the general has to take command. There is no reason to go to danger in person." Xu Tai said in a hurry.

The generals dissuade each other. Ye Fanggu, who stood beside Song Nan and disguised herself as a personal guard, also pouted Song Nan with her eyes. Song Nan smashed her mouth and sat down and said, "I'm not afraid that you can't do it. This is the key to this war. If we don't succeed, we will be finished."

Wang Yong said, "Your Excellency, the humble position has followed you for so many years, can't you believe the humble position? You only grant Jiyi. I don't believe that you can't even do this. Please rest assured.

Song Nan thought for a moment and said, "Well, you will lead the team and select 50 guards immediately. We will solve this matter before dawn. Time is very tight. Go and go."

Wang Yong promised to get up and went quickly. Song Nan slowly sat down and explained the arrangement indifferently. When the generals dispersed, Wang Yong had rushed to the narrow beacon with 50 guards.
