Before he could finish speaking, he was thrown to the ground by two soldiers.
In the end, Zhu Gui was still hit by several arrows. Fortunately, his biggest reliance on the bulletproof vest played an important role.
But the two soldiers on his body were shot into hedgehogs.
Zhu Gui's eyes turned red instantly.
The people on the city wall were shot so hard that they didn't even dare to show their heads.
Zhu Gui ran directly to a Hongyi cannon.
On the way, I almost tripped over the corpses of several soldiers.
Two guardsmen immediately came out to help Zhu Gui load ammunition.
As a result, at this time, the third round of arrow rain arrived again.
In order to protect Zhu Gui, these two soldiers died tragically in front of him.
Zhu Gui felt the cruelty of war for the first time.
His eyes were red and he lit the Hongyi cannon.
There was a loud bang, and he was shaken so much that he took a few steps back, and then fell to the ground, with a buzzing in his ears.
However, the neighing and screams of war horses coming from under the city wall still made him stand up and lie down on the battlements to look down.
I saw that the Mongolian cavalry array, which was very neat just now, had been torn open with a big hole.
Dozens of cavalrymen lay dead on the spot, not even a single piece of intact flesh could be found.
"Fusiliers, return fire, all Hongyi cannons, fire."
Zhu Gui roared angrily.
The soldiers who were hiding ran back one after another.
The soldiers of the guard station and the soldiers of the Prince Dai's Mansion armed with three-eyed blunderbuss loaded their ammunition and began to fight back.
However, Hei Muhan had already calculated the range of the Ming army's firearms, so except for the occasional achievements of the flintlock rifles, the results of the garrison's battles were very pitiful.
But this time Hongyi Cannon gave Hei Muhan a blow.
One round of shelling from ten Hongyi cannons directly killed more than 500 Mongolian elite cavalry.
The remaining cavalry were also frightened and fled, and Hei Muhan was unable to control the situation at all.
This round of confrontation only lasted as long as a stick of incense.
Many people were killed and injured on both sides.
But in the end it ended with the Mongols' disastrous defeat and retreat.
The soldiers on the city wall began to cheer.
But Zhu Gui's face didn't look happy at all.
His heart bleeds as he looks at the two soldiers who died trying to save him.
This time it was his poor thinking that resulted in many of them being shot to death by two rounds of arrows from the enemy.
Xu Yingxu came over, patted Zhu Gui on the shoulder and said, "My lord, you did a good job this time. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have been able to repel the Mongols so quickly."
Zhu Gui looked at the mess outside the city, but said nothing.
Xu Yingxu was stunned for a moment, then glanced at the dead and wounded soldiers on the city wall who were being carried off the city wall, sighed and said: "Your Majesty, this is war, and it is impossible not to die."
"I understand that it was my negligence this time that caused such a huge loss."
Zhu Gui clenched his fists and said.
Xu Yingxu originally wanted to say something, but seeing the determined look on Zhu Gui's face, he did not continue and instead directed the soldiers to clean the battlefield.
There are many dead and injured horses on the battlefield, and these are important sources of meat. As for the disabled enemies who are still alive, they naturally need to be dealt with.
Not long after, a slender figure appeared behind Zhu Gui, it was Xu Miaoqing disguised as a soldier.
"Hey, how long are you going to stand here? Butler Wang and the people from the Datong Chamber of Commerce have prepared a banquet in Datong Mansion to celebrate this victory. Do you want to attend?"
Xu Miaoqing tilted her head and looked at Zhu Gui and asked.
"I am a little uncomfortable. You can participate on my behalf."
Zhu Gui turned around and sat on the ground, looking at the blood stains on the ground that had not yet dried.
Unexpectedly, Xu Miaoqing didn't mind being dirty and sat down next to Zhu Gui.
"If you don't go, I won't go either. It would be boring for me to go alone."
Seeing that Zhu Gui didn't speak, she continued: "My brother told me, but I didn't believe you would be sentimental about the dead. It's not like you at all."
Zhu Gui said lightly: "What do you think of this king?"
"When I was in the capital, I often heard about you at home, but it was because you bullied someone. At that time, I thought you should have a cruel face and a vicious look."
Xu Miaoqing tilted her head and recalled with a smile.
"Later, when I came here, when I saw you, I thought I was wrong. Until, until that happened, I feel that some of the rumors are quite unreliable."
After saying that, Xu Miaoqing turned to look at Zhu Gui, as if she was meeting him for the first time.
Zhu Gui sighed and said, "Thank you."
"Why are you thanking me? I'm not an outsider."
Xu Miaoqing lowered her head as if she had bitten her tongue, her face slightly red.
Zhu Gui suddenly stood up, pointed into the distance and said: "As long as everyone in this land recognizes the existence of the Ming Dynasty, there will be no war."
Xu Miaoqing looked up at Zhu Gui, her eyes sparkling.
…
It took Hei Muhan more than a day to gather the remaining two thousand cavalry. As for the remaining ones, they no longer know where they went.
But even these Mongolian elite cavalry who have returned seem to have lost their souls. They may never be able to go to the battlefield again in the future. Their souls have been frightened away.
This made Hei Muhan very helpless.
Yesterday's battle under the city was not the first time she saw the opponent's cannon.
The Mongols also inherited some firearms from the Han people during the Yuan Dynasty, but the cannons at that time were not so powerful at all. One cannon could take away dozens of cavalry.
This forced him to re-evaluate the threat level of the Prince's Palace.
But now he has to face the wrath of Tian Khan first.
If they cannot capture the new city in Hujian Gorge, I am afraid that the Blackwood Tribe will completely lose its dominance in the next battle.
But when he looked at the disgraced Mongolian cavalry in front of him, it was hard to imagine what would happen if he took them to that city again.
And he only borrowed more than a thousand cavalry during this period, and he was unable to capture the city against the opponent's cannons.
How can this be done?
Just when Hei Muhan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, his men suddenly rushed in.
"Chief, there is a Han who wants to see you. He claims that he can help you capture the city called Hujian City."
"Oh? Han people?" Hei Muhan was surprised and a little confused when he heard this.
But now, he is already riding a tiger and is unable to get off.
If the city cannot be breached, the Blackwood tribe will probably be devoured by the wrath of the Sky Khan.
So he didn't care about anything else and came to a camp to see the Han man.
"Who are you?"
Hei Muhan walked into the big tent and saw a masked man in a cloth robe with his back turned to him, looking at a map of the grassland hanging on the curtain.
The masked man turned back and said in an unpleasant voice: "It doesn't matter who I am. I have an important piece of information here that can help you enter Hujian City, but it depends on the price you pay."
