Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 572 The Ming army's artillery attack at Zijin Pass suddenly turned like the wind
Wang Lin had followed Liu Chang from the very beginning and participated in the killing of civil servants with the Fengtian Gate. He was a well-established Conglong personal guard under the emperor.After the battle to recapture Annan, he was promoted from Qianhu to commanding officer.

Seeing Liu Chang holding the jade pendant and examining it repeatedly, Wang Lin smiled and said, "Boss, do you miss my sister-in-law again?"

Liu Chang waved his hand: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm getting married soon. Only the granddaughter of Duke Yue is your sister-in-law."

Wang Lin teased helplessly: "Then why do you stare at this jade pendant every day?"

Liu Chang chuckled and said: "I didn't like the two batches of concubines at first, so I gave them all to you. Later, Empress Ningxiang felt sorry for me and gave away four little girls she trained with her own hands.

These four concubines are the most outstanding, among which Miss Qinglian is the most popular with me.

Before I went to Annan, Miss Qinglian gave me this square jade pendant. I stared at the jade pendant to see what was wrong. "

Wang Lin smiled and said: "Empress Ningxiang is so partial. She gave you her most capable subordinate as a concubine, and she also acted as a matchmaker to find you the granddaughter of the Duke of Yue as your wife. Why don't we have anything?"

Liu Chang said with a smile: "Children who cry are fed by milk. Next time you meet Empress Ningxiang, if you throw yourself on your knees and start howling, she will definitely give you four concubines and a sweet wife."

"Forget it, I'm not as shameless as you. Then how will we fight next?"

Liu Chang replied: "Be on guard and guard against sneak attacks. Adjust the cannon and be ready to fire at any time. As for fighting with the enemy, it is not our responsibility. At most, we will wait until they collapse, and then we can follow them and chase them casually. It is enough to harvest two to three thousand heads.

Our contribution is already considerable. There is no need to take all of it. We should also leave some for others. This is called being humane. "

"Then after you go back, you should be promoted to the rank of Commander-in-Chief of the Capital. Yingzhou, Tiance, and Duoyan Guards all have the Commander-in-Chief in charge. My guess is that the Holy One will let you be in charge of the Baoding Xingdu Division."

Liu Chang waved his hand: "No, no, no, I want to stay with His Majesty and continue to protect His Majesty's safety. First of all, I am too young, and my promotion has been fast enough. If I do it again, I will be in charge of the same thing. It is really too hateful. Secondly, I also want to stay with the Holy Master and the Crown Prince to cultivate more relationships.

If we people want to be prosperous for a long time and be rich for generations, we rely not only on military merit, but the most important thing is feelings. Do you understand feelings? "

Wang Lin shook his head when he heard this, seeming to understand, but Liu Chang did not elaborate further.

Under the supervision of Liu Chang, the defenders of Zijingguan guarded the area day and night.

Three days later, the weather became fine.

Huo'er Huda finally led the army to Zijingguan Pass.

The first is the regular program: a thousand cavalrymen, carrying the young His Highness Prince Yi, go to the gate to call the door.

But on the city wall, there were only a few people on the city wall, only a few loose soldiers patrolling back and forth, turning a deaf ear to the calls of the Ora cavalry.

Huo'er suddenly replied that he saw the scene at the top of the city from a distance, but he was a little confused: Either there were few soldiers at Zijingguan, and they should be panicked when the large army of Walas came to the city.

Or, the imperial court has already stationed reinforcements, and the city should be well-organized and have many soldiers.

But now, there are few soldiers on the city, but they are loose and loose, not looking nervous at all.

Weird, really weird.

The [-]-watt cavalry roared below the city for a full hour, but the defenders on the city turned a deaf ear and were completely indifferent.

By the end, Huo'er suddenly felt chills running down his spine. The atmosphere was so weird.

What's even more embarrassing is that it has been raining in the past few days, and it was sunny only yesterday.The cannons and gunpowder supported by the Timurid Empire, Yili, and other places were all damp, and they were unable to form combat effectiveness in a short period of time.

There was nothing we could do, the artillery couldn't be used, and the cavalry couldn't attack the city.The Ming army closed the city gate and everything was fine.

Continuous thunderstorms already made Huo'er Huda upset. Coupled with his lack of experience in wars, the only time in the siege operation in Dongsheng City was the inside and outside cooperation. Therefore, Huo'er Huda was confused for a moment and ordered the army to come forward by accident. Move and approach Zijingguan.

The intention was to intimidate the Ming army defending the city with huge momentum and see if they could find any chance of fighting.Even if there was no fighter plane, Huo'er Huda could still get close to the city defense of Zijingguan to see if there were any flaws in the Ming army's defense system.After all, even if you can't break the city, you can just find a small road to go around it.

Back then, when they first broke through the Zijingguan Pass, they chose to go around the small road and attack behind the Zijingguan Pass.

Huo'er suddenly fantasized about being able to imitate him.

As the Wara cavalry approached, they let out deafening shouts.

The city remained indifferent.Half an hour later, the vanguard of the main force of Wala had arrived two miles away from the city gate, echoing with the [-]-watt cavalrymen at the front.

Liu Chang and Wang Lin hid at the crenel and looked out quietly.

Seeing that the Wala cavalry had entered the cannon range, Wang Lin asked: "Boss, do you want to fire immediately?"

Liu Chang replied: "When they get closer, we will spend a lot of effort keeping these cannons and gunpowder dry on rainy days.

We only have one chance to fire a salvo. We tell our brothers to be ready now. When the drums sound, we will immediately light the fuse and fire at the same time.

Then the city gate was opened, with [-] battalion state guards in front, [-] Shenji battalion and [-] battalion state guards behind, charging forward for seven miles, and then immediately retreated.

No one can be tempted to fight, let alone travel long distances to attack. Anyone who disobeys orders will be killed immediately. "

Wang Lin hurriedly led his soldiers to separate orders to deliver the order.

After a while, seeing that the Ming army had no response, the Wala cavalry became even more aggressive and advanced another fifty feet.

Liu Chang gave an order and the war drums beat, resounding throughout the sky.

The Wala cavalry was stunned. On the tower of Zijingguan and in the hidden fortifications and fortresses in the mountains and forests on both sides, hundreds of artillery fired a salvo, and countless lead bullets flew towards the Wala cavalry like a blanket.

Wherever the wind blew, people and horses were shattered.

Today's Wala cavalry does not have the heavy armor and heavy armor that Xian Xian's main force did back then.

Fortunately, Huo'er was suddenly in the middle of the army and did not rush forward.The forwards were beaten into a mess, and then began to collapse backwards.

The Wala forwards attacked their middle army, and the middle army was carried away and attacked their rear army, directly forming a stampede.

Only the one thousand gate cavalry, because they were under the Zijingguan city wall and in a dark position under the lamp, were not bombarded or trampled.

These people were surprised by the sudden change. The gates of Zijingguan were opened wide, and the Yingzhou Guards and Cavalry surged out.

The leader of the Wala cavalry, who was proficient in Chinese, held King Yi in his arms and shouted loudly: "His Royal Highness King Yi is here. According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, anyone who dares to harm the prince will be punished by his entire clan."

If this were an ordinary Ming army, they might really be frightened.But Liu Chang has already told his soldiers in advance that you just go ahead and kill the enemy. If anything goes wrong, I will take full responsibility for it.

One thousand watts of cavalry will be crushed in an instant in front of fifteen thousand Yingzhou Guards cavalry.Therefore, the leader of the Wala cavalry wisely chose to turn his horse around and take King Yi to join the escape.

Liu Chang sincerely praised him in the city: "What a handsome man!"

Huo'er Huda was at a loss when he encountered the collapse of the army for the first time since he took over from his father and led the army first.What was especially unexpected was that the Ming army would completely ignore King Yi's safety, open fire like this, and then go out of the city to pursue him.

Unexpectedly, the heavy rain stopped yesterday, and the Ming army's artillery would be able to be used today?This is a bit beyond Huoer Huda's understanding.Using oneself to save others, one's own artillery could not be used for the time being. Huoer Huda instinctively thought that the Ming army's artillery was also useless.

The soldiers guarded Huo'er Huda with all their might, even at the expense of killing the overcoming Oala troops. Finally, they broke out of the siege and headed west, turning into Rufeng.
