I saw Xu Biao raising his knife and lowering it! Cut Graham into two pieces! At this time, the Wa Ci army was completely in a state of people being massacred. There were horses that had lost their owners and their owners who had lost their horses everywhere. (Good mercy).
Xu Biao didn't give up yet. He tied Graham's head around his waist and continued to chase and kill the fleeing army. The defeated army of Waqi kept complaining and could do nothing~~~ Seeing that the "bandit" was so vulnerable, more forbidden troops began to fight.
Following the order, she rushed forward to pursue and gain credit. The formation suddenly became chaotic! Cai Qing was dumbfounded: she didn’t expect that her subordinates were too brave and had side effects. In order to prevent them from going deep alone and being counterattacked, she had to order the generals to lead their troops.
The battalion sergeants also pursued them until they reached the vicinity of Hulinzuo Banner.
Suddenly, Xu Biao, who was running at the front, saw yellow sand rolling in the distance and beacon smoke rising from all directions! It turned out that the cavalry of the Wasi Tribe Brigade had arrived.
When he saw so many enemies coming, he was surprised and ordered his sergeants to scatter nails on the ground. Then he retreated slightly.
Caiqing was immediately anxious when she saw it. She knew that it was the main force of Wasi commanded by King Diedieer of Wasi. It looked like there were 60,000 cavalry! These were the elites of the Wasi army, not the ordinary temporary ones just now.
A ragtag army of recruited hunters!
She quickly ordered Ming Jin to withdraw her troops, but because some of the Imperial Guards who were pursuing them in front pursued them too hard and got too close, it was too late to retreat even if they wanted to!
The arrogant and arrogant Xu Biao also immediately realized the real power of the main force of Waqi. The nails he planted in a clever way had no effect on the enemy! In an instant, the forbidden troops he led were scattered by the enemy's cavalry and fell into each other's own ways.
The situation of the battle. Due to the large number of enemies and all of them were cavalry, the Ming army, which had been pursuing the enemy aggressively just now, was suddenly curbed. The Ming army, which had no cover, was attacked and killed by the Waqi cavalry, and many of them were injured.
The morale generated by the victory just now can still be sustained for a while.
Caiqing, who was in the main camp not far away, saw that the situation was critical, and immediately led the hook and chain army and firearms troops in the rear to join the battle group. However, his own soldiers had already formed a group with the enemy, and the hook and chain military method calmly formed a formation to kill the enemy.
, they could only stretch out their long hook-and-chain guns in the gaps between the crowds to kill the cavalry. Red Crow led a part of the firearms troops to rush to a slightly higher hill, only to find Gustav and his thousands of muskets.
The soldiers had already been prepared and started shooting.
Gustav saw a contemptuous smile appear on his face: "I'm sorry~~I'm one step ahead of you~~~You'd better find another place~~"
"Hmph! Don't be proud!" Red Crow ignored him and ordered the soldiers to enter the shooting position, and also began to fire at the Wa assassin army.
The two men competed again, constantly urging their soldiers to shoot accurately and faster, not wanting to lose to their opponent in terms of momentum.
Caiqing's heart went numb when she saw a large swarm of Waqi troops in front of her. She knew in her heart that if the battle was fought like this, although she could rely on her numerical advantage to stalemate her opponent, the combat quality and skills of the opponent's army were obviously far superior.
For their own army. Moreover, their own morale will not last long. During the fight, they will gradually understand that they are not facing horse thieves, but the terrifying Watt Cavalry! The soldiers have just finished fighting,
A lot of physical strength has been used up, and if you continue to fight against such a fierce enemy, you are asking for trouble.
She took all the cavalry and dozens of carriages around the crowded battlefield and rushed to the flank of the enemy's base camp, where they were watching the battle from a distance. Then, she personally opened the doors of these huge carriages sealed with spells, and she used the stone wall to
The iron corpses in the French-controlled carriages that they had learned stood up one after another, and each of them was as violent and bloodthirsty as a hungry beast! Under the control of Caiqing's spell, they slowly rushed towards the Waqi army's base camp in groups!
King Wasi, Diedieer, was carefully observing the battle and considering his next move, but his train of thought was interrupted by the exclamations of his men.
He saw a group of black and hateful weirdos on his flank, slowly charging towards his base camp without weapons in their hands! The Waci people are very superstitious, and his sergeants were trembling with fear.
Even the weapons fell to the ground!
In surprise, he ordered his sergeants to shoot at them with arrows.
I saw tens of thousands of arrows shooting at the corpses like locusts, sparking only a few sparks on their bodies, as if they were shot on metal!
Diedieer thought it was a trick played by the enemy soldiers who were covered in iron armor, so he still ordered the trembling soldiers to go forward and kill them.
Although the soldiers of Wasi were very afraid of the Iron Corpse, they still rushed forward because they were more afraid of King Diedieer of Wasi.
In the minds of the Waci people, Diedieer is the legendary protrusion that pecks the bones—the god responsible for punishment in the Waci mythology.
As the youngest son of King Wasi, he is not qualified to inherit the throne no matter what. He has six brothers in total, each of whom is brave and good at fighting and has his own army. As the youngest son, he has no
Secondly, he has no qualifications and thirdly no capital. There are less than 500 people in the army who support him. All his brothers did not take him seriously at first. But they did not know that this youngest brother actually had something better than them.
All must be powerful. That is to know people and make good use of them. He not only promoted brave and brave people from his own clan, but also secretly went to the Central Plains to network with those failed Confucian scholars who had real talents but were frustrated.
Facts have proved that the effect of his move was decisive. The counselors Tian Xu, Jia Xun and others he recruited played a great role in helping him fight for the throne of Wasi. Counselor Jia Xun gave him the idea of "Sitting on the Mountain"
"Watch the tiger fight" plus "fanning the flames". After Ye Xian died, Diedieer did not join the melee for the throne with great fanfare. Instead, he sent someone to secretly instigate the relationship between several brothers, turning their already tense secret fight into a
A life-and-death struggle.
Several brothers died one after another in the melee.
He waited until only the eldest brother Tuohuan and the fourth brother Tamir were left before taking action. He had always expressed his surrender to the powerful Tuohuan and suddenly turned to support the fourth brother Tamir!
Tamir was ecstatic about this! They joined forces and finally defeated Tuohuan. After Tamir killed his eldest brother Tuohuan with his own hands, he excitedly patted Diedie'er on the shoulder with blood: "Good brother!
Thanks to you this time! From now on, the entire Wasi Dynasty will be ours!"
Diedieer, who was standing behind him, did not answer him, but inserted a poisonous dagger into his heart: Let's sit on the throne together? Don't you think the throne is too crowded?
Tamir fell down without a look in his eyes. Behind him, a new, no longer controversial King of Wasashi was born!
After he became King of Wasi, he followed the advice of his adviser Tian Xu and vigorously developed iron-making technology and weapon-making technology. He also poached a large number of skilled craftsmen from the Central Plains with high salaries. They used to wear animal skins and carry messy weapons.
The Weapon Cavalry was suddenly equipped with bright iron armor and swords with fine iron blades. The bows and arrows were also changed from the original bows used for hunting and combat to the "Hu Tu Bow" specially used for combat. Not only that, he also occupied the
A small-scale military garrison was established in the Hetao area. From then on, his soldiers no longer had to just chew dried meat and cheese when they attacked the enemy over long distances, and their war supplies were also enriched and replenished.
While developing, he encountered a large number of opponents. Many die-hards were very dissatisfied with his move to learn from the Han people, and some even publicly humiliated and attacked him.
He was not angry in the face of these humiliations and attacks, but behind his cold smile was the large-scale assassination, arrests, and torture of opponents. He used the Han people's methods of rectifying people in new ways and invented many incredible things.
punishment.
Bull punishment: tie a person to the belly of a bison, head down. Then scratch the cow's body, causing the cow to go crazy and run wildly on the grassland for a whole day and night! Most of the tortured people will be in
During the fierce running, the bison will be tortured to death by the continuous bumps and vibrations, and the only one who survives will become insane.
Horse dragging: This is a very ancient punishment among ethnic minorities. It means that the hands of the person being tortured are tied and dragged behind a galloping horse. The person will be dragged behind by the horse and be bruised to death. Die Die'er
He improved this by ordering the prisoners to eat until they were bloated before being tortured, and to place the horses in a place full of gravel. During the execution, the prisoners would often be dragged until their intestines were broken.
, all flesh and blood is gone, leaving only a mutilated skeleton!
The Three Thousand Blades Punishment: It was improved by the king of Waci, Didier, based on the Lingchi Thousand Knife Punishment of the Han Dynasty. As the name suggests, when the executioner draws the knife before execution, he tries his best to bypass the vital blood vessels and nerves of the human body, and cuts with one knife.
Cut off the prisoner's flesh piece by piece! The Han people only have a thousand knives, but this punishment is a full 3,000 knives! In order to prevent the tortured person from dying of pain prematurely, the executioner will also sprinkle a small amount of anesthetic on him.
, it can only guarantee that he will not die from the pain immediately, but it cannot completely relieve the pain. The victim will suffer all kinds of pain and torture and finally watch himself turn into a skeleton!
Soon the people who opposed King Wasi Didier disappeared. Some were tortured to death, and many more were so frightened by his cruelty that they no longer dared to disobey his will.
So even in the face of terrifying enemies such as Iron Corpse, his iron cavalry would not dare not go!
At this moment, the hungry iron corpses suddenly became excited! They grabbed the Waqi cavalry who were desperately resisting and opened their mouths to eat them! The Waqi cavalry were dragged off their horses one by one by these invulnerable iron corpses, and they let out miserable screams.
Reverberating throughout the land!
Seeing that only one of the thousands of cavalry he had sent survived, Waci King Diedieer felt that there was no point in wasting any more, so he immediately waved his troops to withdraw.
The large group of cavalry that intercepted the Ming army in front received the order and withdrew desperately. They were as organized and disciplined as a group of hungry wolves attacking people in groups.
Cai Qing let out a long breath and withdrew. The iron corpses with round bellies fell down with satisfaction. Cai Qing's men moved them back to the carriage, closed the door and drew the talisman to restrain them.
Caiqing knew that they would come back once they calmed down. Although they won a complete victory in this battle and captured many enemy troops, the vitality of the Waqi Army was still intact and the main force was still there. They retreated this time because they were afraid of the invulnerable power and invulnerability of the Iron Corpse.
It’s because of the fatigue of the soldiers who traveled a long distance. Once they have rested and recuperated, they will gather all their military strength and come back~~
Thinking of this, she immediately ordered her sergeants to clean the battlefield quickly, because the mobility of the Waqi Army had given her too many surprises, and she did not want her sergeants to fight three battles in a row in one day.
She immediately commanded the Ming army to quickly withdraw to Hannan City.
In the end, Xu Biao, who killed Graham, was rewarded with a hundred taels of bounty and was punished with twenty army sticks. In response, Hongwu repeatedly interceded for Xu Biao, hoping that Caiqing would make him guilty and meritorious. But Caiqingtie
She wanted to punish him because she knew that some things cannot be balanced by merit and demerit, and disobeying orders could lead to the defeat of the entire army at any time.
After punishing Xu Biao, Red Crow said to the soldiers: "Have you all seen it? I have clear rewards and punishments, and I do what I say! But do you know~~~? The person you just defeated is the world-famous Wa Ci.
cavalry!"
"Ah!!" A voice of surprise came from the sergeants, and the neat queue suddenly exploded!
"You have all seen it! The so-called Waqi Cavalry is nothing more than that! They will die and bleed, and they are not invincible! You fought hard to kill the enemy and achieved a great victory. When the emperor learned about it, Long Yan was overjoyed! He has prepared wine and meat for us!
You must remember! When you go back and meet people in the future, you can proudly tell them: I am the one who defeated the Wa Ci Army! You can do it today and you can do it tomorrow! Let us celebrate today! Heroes!"
Red Crow's sensational words made the sergeants excited! That night, all the Ming soldiers were full of food and drunk.
Unexpectedly, Cai Qing did not restrain them too much this time. Because she knew that a tragic war was about to begin! The real decisive battle was about to take the lives of many people! Maybe many of those who are drinking, eating and enjoying themselves today are
She could not come back. She personally led her own guards to guard the city all night long to prevent enemy raids.
Unexpectedly, there was no sign of the army of King Wasi Diedieer for several days. They seemed to be planning something and never showed up.
Cai Qing felt even more uneasy. She thought this was too abnormal. In the battles of the past few days, she had noticed that the Waqi Army was a very fast force, best at fast attacks and surprise attacks. According to their tactics
The idea is that they will immediately launch a large-scale retaliatory attack on the Ming army that severely damaged them. However, they have been unusually calm in the past few days, and there are not even a small group of cavalry to harass them. Caiqing really can't guess that they are
intention.
Four days later, Caiqing's troops finished resting and reorganized. They began to send reconnaissance cavalry to continuously penetrate into the depths of Wasi Army to spy on Wasi Army's movements.
But the company sent out several waves of cavalry and they all returned!
Just when Caiqing was about to send out the sixth wave of reconnaissance cavalry, the Waqi Army finally appeared.
It seems that their busy work during this period was not in vain, and they brought a total of 80,000 troops! Among the dense cavalry, there were also more than a dozen large carriages, with unknown objects pulled behind them covered with black cloth.
This time King Wasi was accompanied by his two great advisors, Tian Xu and Jia Xun. One of them wore a red robe and the other in white. They were both dressed as civil servants, and they were very popular among the brightly-armored Wasi army.
It's conspicuous.
King Wasi personally supervised the battle in front of the battle this time, and ordered his most admired general Temur to lead the battle and attack fiercely.
Caiqing was quite confused about whether to go out of the city to fight or defend the city. Defending the city was certainly much safer than going out to fight the enemy in the field, and it could maximize the advantages of the Ming army's firearms, and the casualties were relatively small. The enemy's cavalry
He also had to dismount his horse to attack, and his attack power was greatly reduced~~ However, his chain army and cavalry also played no role in the battle to defend the city.
But if you are fighting in a field battle, although your chain army and cavalry can exert their strength, the enemy has 80,000 capable cavalry! Although you have a slight advantage in total, but in a real fight, the conversion formula between cavalry and infantry will come true immediately.
In a normal fight, four elite infantry can only match the power of one cavalry at most! If the cavalry is charging in a group, it will be even more powerful.
In the end, she decided to defend the city, and saw that the not-so-wide city wall of Hannan City was densely packed with Ming troops holding firearms and crossbows. The city wall was filled with huge rocks, thornwood, and ballistae.
There are only two gates in Hannan City. The back gate is surrounded by water and has only one bridge connecting to the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty. In other words, once they are defeated, their only escape route is to return the same way! From now on, Mobei will be in danger! The due east line defends the Jurchens and
Min Feng, another nomadic force, will be attacked from both sides! You can imagine the expressions that greeted them.
Caiqing knew that this battle must be won. Once Hannan City fell to Wasi, he could command his troops to move south. All counties in the Central Plains would be exposed to Wasi's cavalry. The tragedy of the Northern Song Dynasty might happen again!
Cai Qing now understood why the emperor sent such a large lineup.
The enemy's attack finally began! The things behind the carriage were torn off, and the black cloth was torn off, revealing their ferocious faces.
It turned out to be some modified siege engines and giant trebuchets!
These siege equipment were personally supervised by Tian Xu, the most popular counselor in Die Die'er. They were made by imitating some siege equipment of the Ming Dynasty army and then carefully transforming them.
Tian Xu gave the order! I saw these giant trebuchets pouring a layer of kerosene on the huge rocks in the machine frame, and then suddenly ignited the moment they fired!
The flaming boulders roared and bombarded the city wall of Hannan City! Suddenly the city was blazing into the sky! Several boulders flew directly into the city, smashing several houses into pieces in an instant! At the same time, a large group of cavalry surrounded the city wall and kept firing.
Shooting arrows at the city wall, many Huo Tong's arrows fell off the city wall, and some were smashed into meat patties by huge rocks.
While the Ming army at the top of the city was beaten so hard that they could not lift their heads, hundreds of Waqi sergeants rushed over with a huge siege hammer! Cai Qing was also almost hit by a stray arrow on the commander's platform. She saw such a huge enemy.
I was shocked by the battering ram! I knew in my heart that if it was hit a few times by this thing, the thin wall of Hannan City would definitely disintegrate.
In desperation, she ordered the sergeants to brave the rain of arrows and smash the huge rocks from the city head! Red Crow directed everyone to concentrate their firepower on the soldiers who were moving the siege ram. Finally, the siege ram was just a few feet away from the city gate.
was crushed.
Before Caiqing could take a breath, more Waqi soldiers were holding dry firewood and braving the rain of gunfire from the city top, they began to prepare for ignition at the Hannan city wall.
The generals of the Ming army gasped! What should we do?
