Chapter 1608 sounding arrow
Zhou Wenyu has been jumping up and jumping up these days, saying something belittled and remembered, looking like a master who is not afraid of being afraid of.
In contrast, it seems that Zhou Wenyu, the flag-keeper from western Liaoning, is even more skillful than the governor generals of Ji Town. Because of Yuan Chonghuan's strength, Wu Zhongwei, Hei Yunlong and others are unwilling to offend this person, and Zhou Wenyu is also needed to boost morale like this... Unexpectedly, Zhou Wenyu performed too well and always showed off a Zhuge Liang-like face, which made Ji Town feel disgusted.
Although Ji Town was in decline, its historical status has always been above Liao Town. When Li Chengliang was invincible, the guardian of Jimen was the higher prestige and more famous Qi Shaobao Qi Jiguang. When Li Chengliang was granted the title of Bo, Qi Jiguang had passed away for many years. If Qi Jiguang had not been implicated by Zhang Juzheng, his achievements and reputation were certainly far above Li Chengliang. People regretted that Qi Jiguang could not be named a marquis. In terms of real merit, Qi and Yu should be named a marquis. Unfortunately, when they made their contributions, they were already in the late Jiajing period, and it was difficult to ascend to the sky.
Zhou Wenyu's movements were annoying. Of course, Mr. Qian also liked to watch his excitement, but it was involved in his own errands. Seeing Zhou Wenyu wearing a shirt, he planned to run out, and only reminded him first, then took off the official robe hanging on the wall and the black hat on the table, and barely put Zhou Wenyu in his arms. At this time, the sound of cannons started again, and the cannonballs roared, collapsing the gravels of the city walls. The shells kept falling on the city walls and the ground, causing a large amount of gravel and sand. Although the sky was bright, there was dust and dust everywhere, which almost made people unable to see things.
Of course, everyone present had seen cannons fire, and they were not unsavory, but the power of cannons was far beyond their imagination. With the roar of cannons, everyone ran and was in a mess. Zhou Wenyu even ran away. The Qian Zong and Ji Zhen soldiers were not much better. They finally ran up the mountain road and climbed all the way. After more than an hour, they got downstairs of Wangjing. At this time, many people had gathered around the enemy platform. The flags were waving on the enemy platform, obviously dispatching troops to guard the gate area. However, Zhou Wenyu looked down from a high place and saw a large number of soldiers at a loss. Many people who ran out of the enemy platform dared to retreat. No one dared to approach before closing.
The entire Gubeimen Pass has fallen into chaos. From Simatai to Tiemen Pass and Shuimeng Pass, there are soldiers scattered and officers who cannot restrain the soldiers. Of course, no one pays attention to the flags and drums. For the soldiers who are in chaos like an ant in front of you, although there is no sign of the enemy, it is already a mess like a scattered sand. It is conceivable that as long as the ants of the Shang regiment arrive at the city and open the door and swarm in, the Jizhen soldiers of tens of thousands will be scattered in an instant. Except for a few people who can escape their lives, most of them will die in pursuit.
Zhou Wenyu himself was also depressed. When he walked downstairs of Wangjing, he was trembling all over. In the deep winter, he was sweating profusely. Half of it was tired and sweating, and the other half was too nervous.
When he entered the upper floor, many generals and officials were there. Wu Zhongwei was wearing a big red official robe leaning against the wall made of stones and bricks, and he didn't care about the destruction of the official robe. Hei Yunlong looked frightened and confused. As the general, he could not imagine at this moment and had no choice but to do anything.
A veteran who has fought for a lifetime of war at this time finds that the power in his hands is no match for the enemy at all, and even lets others squeeze it, no one will be in a good mood.
Wang Wei lay beside the lookout hole of the enemy platform and watched, his expression disappeared without the confidence he had before, leaving only a look of shock on his face.
As soon as Zhou Wenyu came in, everyone looked at him. Heiyunlong said in a deep voice: "Zhou Qipai, at this time, do you see that there is similarity with you when you stationed in Ningyuan?"
Zhou Wenyu also looked out through the lookout hole, and he was completely shocked.
The flat grassland north of the Great Wall was full of seas of flags and war horses, with tens of thousands of people boundless. Above the iron cavalry were soldiers with strong armor and powerful soldiers. The flags were waving, and each strand was just a dozen or hundreds of people. A large number of muskets, spears, long swords and waists had been drawn by these enemy troops. The rigorous and murderous aura, as well as countless armors, muskets, and weapons formed in his hands, made him breathless.
Of course, the Eight Banners of the Jurchens were also very powerful armed, but in the sixth year of the Apocalypse, there were 30% of the Jurchens who were short of horses and could only walk. A large number of Eight Banners's followers' flags and their clothes were relatively worn and not very strict. The white armor and vests fought under the banners of the Eight Banners. Most of the armor and weapons were forged by fine iron, but mixed with the large number of flag soldiers, the team was relatively chaotic and complicated, and the oppression was not as big as the army in front of them.
There is more than an army on the other side, it is simply a piece of iron made of iron, cold and tough and lacks vitality. It seems to be a war machine. With just one order, all resistance can be crushed instantly.
The cannons were still roaring, and then Zhou Wenyu saw the artillery positions scattered around the Great Wall Pass below the mountain. They stretched very wide and seemed to be unable to see at a glance.
The cannons kept firing, and orange-red flames were bursting from the muzzles everywhere.
What a beautiful wonder this is.
The flames spewed out, staggered, as if the fire from heaven was stolen into the mortal world. The gunners were gods who were in control of the power of thunder. Now they were standing on the side of the Hutchison Merchants Army, constantly bombarding the same magnificent and magnificent walls that protected the Ming Dynasty with the divine fire.
And how fragile the wall is under the attack of artillery fire.
The former heroic pass blocked many enemies, making the most vicious cavalry unable to move south smoothly from here. Jizhen has heroic passes and dangerous passes, but the guards that have been successful in the past are bombarded by artillery, and under the ferocious enemy's horse hooves, I am afraid everything is as fragile as paper. As long as the bombardment continues, the enemy soldiers can easily climb to the close, open the city gate, and the iron cavalry flock in...
Zhou Wenyu was trembling all over, as if he had seen a large army like a dark tide pouring in.
The sword light flashed, the musket bombarded, and any resistance was instantly shattered.
Then there is massacre, one-sided massacre.
The black cloud dragon on the side was no longer waiting for Zhou Wenyu's answer. His feeling was exactly the same as Zhou Wenyu. Any resistance was meaningless. Before closing the door, the artillery group inside and outside was too large, the speed of the attack was too fast, and the power was too powerful.
Although the four-pound cannon weighs less than a thousand pounds, this kind of field artillery has played its greatest role in the hands of the artillery soldiers of the Shang regiment army. Its power is not much worse than that of the thick and clumsy Red Cannons of the Ming army. Although the red cannon with a dozen pounds of gunpowder, it is actually an eighteen-pound cannon, but the firing speed is slow and the gunpowder is poor, and the artillery casting technology is also behind the Hutchison Military Industry Department. Compared with the two, the speed and power of the four-pound cannons are not much worse.
In addition, there are a large number of nine-pound cannons in the cannon position. When bombarded, it is like the sky collapsed and the earth cracked.
The large number of general artillery on the Ming army's city had no power to fight back at all. In the first round of bombardment, the possibility of counterattack was completely lost. The artillery that was broken and overturned was everywhere on the top of the city. The gunners had fled and fled, completely losing the will and ability to resist.
The merchant army had not yet reached the city, and was already like a flock of lions and tigers, and could enjoy delicious food, just like it was during the battle of Shaling.
Heiyunlong inevitably remembered the Battle of Shaling. At that time, he was a guerrilla in the army. His brother Heiyunhe was a gang general. He died in battle with Li Maochun, Zhang Mingxian and others, and Zu Dashou and others ran first. The three defense lines set up by Wang Huazhen were useless. In the battle of Shaling, 60,000 Ming army soldiers were like sheep that were broken into by tigers and wolves, and they only knew how to escape. There were a bunch of scattered sand everywhere. The general and deputy generals and generals were both killed or committed suicide. The Jurchens were really killed happily. Heiyunlong ran and fled under Needing's clusters of life, and only saw the Jurchens behind him riding horses, holding up groups of Ming soldiers, and massacring them.
Heiyunlong still remembers the screams and wailings behind him. The scene of corpses everywhere and blood-colored eyes are still hidden in his subconscious. This veteran on the battlefield has been in his life, but to date, the most tragic battlefield he has ever seen is the Battle of Guangning. At that time, there were many famous generals in the Ming army, and two civil officials, Xiong Tingbi and Wang Huazhen. At the same time, the 60,000 Ming army was dominated by veteran soldiers. Now, Zu Dashou, the heavy general in western Liaoning, was just a guerrilla at that time, and he led strong soldiers mainly dominated by Neidians from the Zu family.
Before the battle started, the generals such as Heiyunlong were originally very energetic. Just as he was guarding Jizhen, they all felt that the enemy was not very strong and could completely defeat him.
Unexpectedly, the incident happened completely differently than imagined. Just like before, I remembered how stupid my group of people were afterwards. Everything was at the mercy of the enemy. If the door was closed and broken, the consequences would probably be much more serious than in the Battle of Guangning!
The current situation is much more serious than the situation after the defeat in the Guangning Battle. Ji Town was completed and Miyun Jizhou was completely destroyed in Changping, Zunhua, Changping, Miyun and Jizhou were completely destroyed, which was equivalent to being isolated from the western Liaoning. If there was another incident in western Liaoning, the consequences would be unimaginable.
When Heiyunlong thought about this, he thought of his brother who died in battle and felt extremely painful...
The Black Family has been in trouble for generations. Did he cause chaos in the world for his own selfish desires?
"Roar, the sound arrow is coming in again."
Before we knew it, the cannon stopped, and several more arrows shot in near the closing door. Some soldiers who had not escaped picked up the arrows. They knew that Hutchison had opened the conditions again, and everyone was urinating and did not dare to neglect them at all. They quickly picked up the arrows and climbed up Wangjing Tower. In fact, although Wangjing Tower is safe for the time being, once they break the gate, they will die.
Heiyunlong, Wu Zhongwei and others hid up on the stairs, and knew that even if they ran away after breaking the barrier, they would not be able to escape the national law. It was better to die for the country than to die.
This is also the time when the rules and regulations of the Ming Dynasty were not broken. If it were after the middle of Chongzhen period, the officials and generals would have fled long ago. When Zuo Liangyu and other generals did not listen to the orders and acted without authorization, there was no talk of any rules and regulations of the country.
