Jinyi Night Walk

Lions roar, tigers howl, leopards howl, wolves howl...

The Ceylon army was the first to launch the beast attack. Under the order of the beast trainer, hundreds of beasts came roaring. Fortunately, it was still daytime, and the wind was blowing from the harbor to the land, otherwise it would be just the roaring beasts. The wind is enough to make the enemy frightened.

Xia Xun was a little surprised. The preparations he made in advance were originally intended to make it difficult for a larger team of war elephants, but he never expected that the other party would drive many beasts.Fortunately, these weapons can deal with elephants, and naturally they can also deal with wild beasts. Xia Xun gave an order, and a tube of cannons suddenly erected on the sand.

The soldiers reclining in the sandpit suddenly tore open the canvas. A series of cannons had already been lifted from the ship and placed there. The muzzles of the black holes faced the positions of the Ceylon Army. The shells and gunpowder had already been installed. Yes, the cannon roared, and the shells roared and rushed towards the enemy's position.

The soldiers of Daming did not expect that it was jackals, tigers and leopards who rushed up, and they were a little nervous. Flowers exploded in the Lanjun position.

The shells fell on the soft sand without doing much harm, but the thunderous roar of the cannon fire frightened the beasts.

The cannon was fired, and the billowing smoke was carried by the sea wind and rushed towards the Ceyloners' position. The whole position was immediately submerged in a cloud of smoke. The choking gunpowder smoke was also an unbearable smell for beasts with a keen sense of smell.

First, the wild beast, which was startled by the roar and suddenly stopped its charge, was then smoked by the gunpowder, and turned around and fled back.At this time, the Ming army's second round of cannon roared again. This time, they adjusted the position of the muzzle, but they did not expect the beasts to turn around and run away. The shells only hit some slow-moving beasts.

The beast who turned around and fled first felt the roar behind him, the strong wind was rolling, and the sand and sand blown up by the shells hit the ground, hurting his body, and he was even more frightened in his heart, screaming and running forward desperately.

Xia Xun hurriedly ordered the third round of firing, and this time the adjustments were finally accurate. One after another, the shells exploded in the enemy's battle elephant formation. If there were two ferocious beasts at one head, these elephants might not be afraid, but countless ferocious beasts swarmed in. , The war elephants were also panicked, and when they were bombed again, the war elephants turned around one after another, and joined the fleeing queue with four hooves.

The Ceylon soldiers were dumbfounded. The firearms soldiers at the front were gathered around the charcoal brazier, holding a cannon tied to a wooden stick in one hand and tongs in the other, and were about to hold the red-hot coals to ignite their "hand cannons". Lions, tigers, leopards, and giant wolves came running wildly.

The herd of wild beasts rushed them all to pieces, but fortunately, those wild beasts were in a hurry to escape and had no time to bite them.The soldiers who had been knocked down and trampled over got up from the ground in a state of embarrassment, only to see huge monsters rushing towards them in horror.

The giant elephants came running wildly with their big feet. An elephant panicked and stepped into the brazier, smashing the brazier to pieces. The red-hot coals splashed everywhere, and a bit of coal splashed into the air, just falling onto a four-wheeled cart. superior.

The small cart was filled with gunpowder, because the battle was about to start, the box had been opened, sparks fell, and the entire small cart was like a powerful bomb. A black cloud rose up with a bang, and the Ceylon soldiers were everywhere. The formation was too dense, dozens of people were blasted into limbs and arms, and flew into the air.

At that time, the power of firearms used by Ceylon soldiers was still very backward, only equivalent to the level of firearms in the Central Plains in the late Song Dynasty and early Yuan Dynasty, but even so, their firearms soldiers were the most elite and powerful army in the royal city.

Although their firearms had a short range and were not very accurate, the loud sound, diffuse smoke, and occasional hits with great power made them look terrifying like demons and monsters to soldiers who were not familiar with firearms at that time.This is not only true for soldiers who use cold weapons, but also for firearms soldiers themselves.

However, the power of the Ming army's cannons far exceeded their imagination. The beasts charge back, the elephants march, and the gunpowder explodes...

A series of blows frightened the Ceylon firearms soldiers, who immediately turned around and ran away.

Crowley is a sycophant general who is not good at running an army at all. It is not surprising that the soldiers reacted in this way when they were hit suddenly.

Crowley was riding on a war elephant dressed in gorgeous silk, in the middle of the army, leaning on the banner, and was triumphant.Fifty thousand troops!One person can drown the Ming army by spitting, so what are you afraid of?

I don’t want to, first the ferocious beast rushed into the team, and then the elephant took a big stride and rushed back head by head, shaking the ground and trampling countless soldiers to death. After being infected by them, he immediately raised his trunk and let out a long growl, shook off the soldiers holding the reins, turned his butt and followed his companions to flee for their lives in a panic.

"Stop! Stop! Stop!"

Crowley yelled on the elephant's back, but the war elephant wouldn't listen to him.

Seeing that His Excellency the General fled first, the army behind immediately followed suit. The fifty thousand army did not kill a single enemy, so they spread their legs and ran for their lives.

The atmosphere of fear is contagious. The soldiers at the back don't know what's going on in front of them. They only see the wild beasts fleeing, the elephants fleeing, and the general fleeing too. Fear of falling behind others.

Xia Xun crouched behind the simple fortifications piled up with sand and ordered loudly: "Reload, prepare..."

"Ok?"

Xia Xun looked up, slowly got up from behind the sand pile, raised his feet and looked forward again, with a bewildered expression on his face.

Xu Hu stepped on a pile of sand, with the same puzzled expression.

One after another, many soldiers crawled out from behind the sandworks without being ordered, and stood in groups of three or two in a daze on the construction site. They had never fought such a strange battle before.

The wind gradually blew away the gunpowder smoke, and I saw a few puffs of gunpowder smoke rising from the front position, a few small cars reversed, and some flags and dead bodies scattered all over the place. Xun put his hands on the awning and looked into the distance, only to see a group of enemy soldiers fleeing for their lives in the distance like they were in a market.

Zheng He jumped out of the ground, holding a sword in his hand, and asked Xia Xun with a blank face: "Duke, they... are they defeated?"

Xia Xun also seemed to be dreaming, a little unsure: "Probably...yes!"

Xia Xun made a lot of preparations in advance. He couldn't be careless in the away game. He thought this battle would be very difficult, and he even made plans to retreat to the ship if he lost.

But so far, it seems that no one in the Ming army was injured. They only fired three rounds of artillery, and the [-] enemy troops fled. Xia Xun was really uncomfortable.

The crossbowmen and musketeers lying in ambush on the left flank, and the cavalry who first retreated to the embankment and then detoured to the right flank, had originally planned to wait until the enemy charged head-on. Come out, standing on the ground inexplicably, a little at a loss.

At this time, the straight-minded people reacted the fastest. Ren Juying, the deputy commander of the Shuangyu Guards, shouted: "The Ceylon soldiers were defeated, and we should take advantage of the victory to pursue them! If they don't hand over our people, let's just arrest them." Their king, see if they hand it over or not!"

Yup!

Xia Xun and Zheng He looked at each other, and said in unison: "Take advantage of the victory to pursue and capture King Ceylon!"

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Xia Xun and Zheng He left a part of the officers and soldiers to move the cannons back to the ship, and brought [-] cavalry and [-] infantry with them, and quickly chased after the defeated Ceylon army.

During the chase and escape all the way, the Ceylon soldiers ran wildly, hid in the east, and hid in Tibet. Seeing that the pursuers were approaching, the Ceylon soldiers, who had already scared away their courage, hid in the side roads.

Xia Xun and Zheng He were afraid that the king of Ceylon would close the city gates if he got the letter, or that he would massacre the merchants of Ming Dynasty to vent their anger, so they kept going all the way, and they didn't chase and kill the Ceylon soldiers who fled to make way, but just rushed forward.

Many Ceylon soldiers felt embarrassed when they were chasing and fleeing all the way: "Should we run after the pursuers?"

The Ceylon soldiers who fled back to the city first reported the news of the defeat to Alekunel. Alekunel was shocked when he heard that the [-] army collapsed in an instant, and hurriedly summoned all civil and military officials to discuss countermeasures.

As soon as the civil and military officials heard the excitement, the civil officials immediately took the lead in the battle, and the generals also took the stand, swearing allegiance to the king one after another. The city is alive, and the city is dead!

Seeing that the officials were so loyal, Alekunaier felt very relieved, so he followed the strategy of the officials and decided to call on the people of the royal city to dig the ground as a trench and use the buildings as fortifications. The residents fought street battles with the Ming army.

The civil and military officials took orders and left the palace one after another, returned to their mansions, packed up their luggage, packed up their belongings, and prepared to run away.

Ariel Kunel is cruel and ruthless, he only listens to good words, not bad words, who dares to say in front of him what he doesn't like to hear?It was just to make him happy.

Because he kills people at every turn, all the officials are in danger, and they have long been renounced. Now seeing such a situation, who is willing to work for him? These people have all gone home to wait and see. Wangcheng, then run out to serve in allegiance, if you can't hold it...

Parents and mothers get married, and everyone cares about each other.

In King Ceylon, all the residents were mobilized to dig trenches and build fortifications in the streets. Even children in their early ten years walked around the streets with bamboo guns, as if all the people were soldiers.

Ceylon deserters are fleeing back to the king city one after another, and the soldiers who fled back to the city were quickly arranged to join the defense of the city.But their joining did not bring courage to the soldiers and civilians defending the city, but instead spread fear like a plague.

Because there are still many deserters rushing back one after another, and the city gate is still open, the defenders of the city never thought that the pursuers of the Ming Dynasty would run in front of the deserters. When they found out, it was already too late. With arrows like rain, they shot down the soldiers who were about to close the city gate, and then five hundred Ming troops rushed into the city.

"The Ming army has entered the city..."

When the soldiers and civilians in the city uttered a cry, they scattered like birds and beasts, and fled for their lives one after another.

Zheng He was familiar with the road, and he didn't care about the fugitive soldiers and civilians. He led five hundred fine horses and went straight to the palace.

In the palace, Ariel Kunel is eagerly looking forward to the good news that the soldiers and people in the city will unite and overcome the Ming army!
