Chongzhen Chat Group

So, after withdrawing his troops, King Talong finally held a military meeting again, and the chieftain leaders finally met him. However, at this time, they had nothing to say. Because it took two days, their men were basically exhausted, and even two chieftain leaders died. Jiuzhao Master is lucky, he still has about a hundred people under his command, which is already the most among the rebel chieftain leaders!

At this time, Jiu Zhaoshi, like other chieftain leaders, just stood blankly. Even when he, King Long, was talking there, saying that they had accomplished their feats and that they no longer had to be the vanguard to attack the city tomorrow, he just forced a smile on his face. In his heart, he was actually angry at King Long and regretful about his original choice.

Now King Talong has let them go, just because the Ming army in the city has almost exhausted its defensive equipment. If Dongwu's army goes to battle tomorrow, they are already very confident that they can capture Mengmi. Haha, I picked a good peach! Jiu Zhaoshi thought mockingly in his heart, not hearing any of his other arrangements by King Long.

King Talong made arrangements for tomorrow's war, and all the Dongwu generals were extremely relaxed and received the military orders impassionedly. No one is a fool, everyone can see that if the established Ming army does not have the equipment to defend the city, it will be at the end of its war effort, and it is a matter of course to capture Meng Mi!

At this moment, the quartermaster came out and reported to King Long: "Your Highness, the war has been fierce these days, and a lot of grain and grass supplies have been consumed. The daily transportation of grain and grass is far less than the consumption. I would like to ask you to mobilize troops, horses and civilians to go to Baojing." Big grain delivery.”

King Talong nodded after hearing this. The road was not easy to travel, and the food and grass he carried with the army was limited after all. In the past few days of war, in order to allow the chieftains to attack the city, there was no deprivation of food and supplies, and the civilian husbands also let go of their stomachs one by one before they died, and they were full of ghosts. High consumption is also to be expected. But it doesn't matter, Mengmi can be captured tomorrow, and the food and grass supply is at Baojing not far away. If necessary, just send more people to transport it.

With this in mind, King Long made a decisive decision: "We will capture Meng Mi tomorrow and see what we get. If it's not enough for the army, just send people to Baojing!"

The quartermaster thought about it, and it made sense, so he didn't insist and retreated as ordered.

At this time, in Mengmi City, there was no panic due to the consumption of defense weapons. The officers and men of the Ming army did whatever they had to do under the supervision of the officers of the various armies. Even the King of Tang walked around calmly with a smile, which further stabilized the morale of the army.

In the chat group, Emperor Chongzhen was understanding the progress of the war, knowing about the rebellion of the chieftains and the siege of the city, and understood that the information previously exposed to various chieftains should make him, King Long, make up his mind.

With this in mind, he issued an order to the group: "In this case, if Dongwu's main force comes to attack tomorrow, I will teach them a lesson. On the other side of Baojing, we can also take action tomorrow!"

Following this decree, Zhang Fengyi immediately reported to Qin Liangyu.

After Qin Liangyu heard this, he smiled and nodded, with a trace of desire on his face. The army was ready, so let's wait until tomorrow to give the Dongwu people a surprise!

Whether it was the Ming army or the Dongwu army, both sides were looking forward to tomorrow's battle and were preparing for the war. This night, they lived very peacefully.

When the sun went up to the hill, King Talong once again climbed onto the high platform, ate delicious food, drank fine wine, and looked at the Mengmi City in the distance with a smile. The accompanying ministers were all excited when they saw Dongwu's elite troops preparing for war.

"Your Highness, you can definitely spend the night in Mengmi City tonight!"

"What tonight? Didn't you see that even the elephant army has gone up? Let me tell you, His Highness can go to Mengmi City for dinner at noon today!"

"The Prince of Tang doesn't know what Zhang looks like? He must have a pretty face, right? You can see it today!"

"..."

Listening to these words, King Talong felt that today's wine seemed to be more mellow than the previous days, so he kept saying: "Good wine, good wine!"

The chieftains who survived were also on the side. Seeing the joy of Dongwu Jun and his ministers, they felt a little angry and a little sad in their hearts. What they are angry about is that the reason why Dongwu's army was able to capture Mengmi today was not because of the sacrifice of their men's lives! Dongwu's army is just sitting back and enjoying the success! Sadly, I suffered heavy losses, and I brought them on myself. Of course, people like Master Jiu Zhao and others did not have much regret in their hearts. At least at this time, they believed that Meng Mi would be defeated under the attack of Dongwu's army. If he stubbornly tied himself to the Ming army, he might not even be able to protect his own life.

Just as they were thinking with complicated emotions, the "dong dong dong" sound of war drums sounded, echoing in the sky above Mengmi City. Groups of elite Dongwu soldiers began to advance towards the city wall. Among them, there were even things similar to carts, driven forward by elephants driven by elephant slaves. Dongwu's army was obviously well prepared for this siege.

At the beginning, as expected by King Long, the Ming army at the top of the city had significantly fewer defensive equipment, so Dongwu's army advanced towards the city and began to attack from above. There were several city walls, and they even almost attacked them. .

King Long was very excited when he saw it. He immediately raised his hands and passed the order, asking his men to step up the attack on the city and not give the Ming army on the city a chance to breathe. Dongwu's army could also see the battle situation. Following his order from King Long, more Dongwu soldiers swarmed up, just to be the first to board the city.

"Haha, the Ming army also wants to destroy me, Dongwu, in my dreams!" King Long sneered, tilted his neck, drank the wine in one gulp, and then shouted: "Pour the wine!"

It seemed that those fine wines were like Ming Jun's, and he wanted to drink them all.

However, at this moment, another scene that stunned them suddenly happened on the top of Mengmi City.

I saw objects suddenly flying out of the city, which seemed to be thrown by catapults. They drew beautiful arcs in the air, and in a blink of an eye, they hit near the trench and among Dongwu's army. Then, they saw another One by one, the fireballs also fell together with the previous things, and they also landed near the trench. The sudden change made King Long stunned.

After those fireballs landed, a fire belt suddenly ignited with lightning speed, circling the city and being very wide. All the unlucky ones on this fire belt suddenly became burning people. While screaming, they danced and struggled, but they quickly fell down and never got up again.

On the outside of the fire belt, those Dongwu troops escaped by chance. Fortunately, they were a little slower and quickly retreated back; on the inside of the fire belt, those Dongwu troops tried to escape in panic, but because of the fire belt, they Isolated, there was no way to escape. In order to avoid the fire, I could only hide under the city.

He, Prince Long, was holding the wine glass and had forgotten to drink. He even stood up unconsciously and stared at the gate of Mengmi City stupidly. Didn't the Ming army only have a little bit of kerosene? Wasn't it used up in the previous battle to defend the city? Why is there so much kerosene suddenly appearing?

However, this is not over yet. Just as he, King Long, was thinking in shock, he saw the Ming army on top of the city dropping smoking objects one after another. From a distance, he could see the things thrown from the city, breathing fire and smoking, spinning rapidly among the crowds of Togo soldiers. Fire belts were everywhere along this section of the city wall. Obviously, the Ming army on top of the city did not favor one thing over another and took care of every area as much as possible.

Just listen to the screams of the Dongwu soldiers, the sound is so loud that even King Talong in the distance can clearly hear it. Seeing them covering their mouths and noses, seeing them desperately flapping the flames on their bodies, anyone with a clear mind would know that this group of attacking Dongwu soldiers will only die!

Master Jiu Zhao and other chieftain leaders who had rebelled and surrendered to the enemy were dumbfounded when they saw this scene. When did the Ming army in the city have such sharp defensive equipment? Why hasn't it been taken out before? In today's battle, the siege army suffered such heavy losses. If there were more weapons to defend the city, would Meng Mi still be able to defeat it?

For the first time, they had doubts about whether they could capture Meng Mi!

In fact, as the people sitting on Dongwu's side, if they doubt whether Meng Mi can be defeated, it actually means that they do not believe that Meng Mi can be defeated. But at the same time, the White Gun Army was confident. They appeared in front of Hojing Donggo's army and confidently launched an attack in broad daylight.

The walls of Mengmi City are short, but they do have walls anyway. After all, they were the original location of Mengmi Xuanwei Division. Baojing, on the other hand, is just a town, with no city walls at all. The Ming army appeared in the south of Baojing like divine soldiers descending from heaven, and was so frightened that General Dongwu almost fell to the ground. He quickly sent people to fly to report that he was the king, and at the same time he organized his army to prepare for war.

When General Dongwu saw that most of the Ming army were infantry, and his own army had ten war elephants as the vanguard, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Dongwu's army has always had few opponents in battles, but the elephant army is very powerful. Under the protection of the rattan armor, the war elephants run rampant. Basically no enemy can withstand it, and they will be defeated after just one wave. This time, although the Ming army suddenly appeared from the south, it was absolutely impossible for them to stop the Dongwu war elephant.

For Dongwu soldiers, their thoughts were the same as their generals. They all relied on the war elephants, hid behind the war elephants, and launched an attack on the Ming army.

Qin Liangyu looked at this scene and just sneered. The factory guards have already clearly investigated the fighting habits of Dongwu's army, and have already taken measures to deal with them. Now it seems that it is indeed correct. With this in mind, he looked at the fusiliers. It seemed that they had made the first move.

To be honest, it was actually the first time for this fusilier army to go to the battlefield. Faced with the elite Donggo army rushing towards them, it was fake that they didn't panic. However, when they remembered that there was Ming Dynasty's famous white-pole army beside them; when they remembered that the weapons in their hands were specially designed to restrain those behemoths, their minds settled down again.

The general, Wei Shouze, was a veteran. At this time, he was beside the fusiliers on the front line. He shouted loudly and ordered the gun battalion to move forward to prepare to meet the enemy.

Two people carried their guns in groups and came to the front of the team. One person was carrying the barrel of a ten-foot-long gun, and the other person was holding the butt of the gun and starting to take aim. Then lined up in a long row, under the command of the officer, several neighbors raised their guns to take charge of an elephant, and the war was about to break out.

Wei Shouze was right behind them, patrolling and shouting loudly: "If you don't get the military order, the shooter will be killed! The White Army is behind you. After the fight, retreat. It's safe. Don't panic!"

Either it was due to strict military orders, or it was due to good training. Of course, it was also possible that they knew that the White Army was behind them. Anyway, the soldiers in the gun battalion were steadily aiming, and no one dared to open fire in advance. gun.

This kind of gun is not easy to load. On the battlefield, it can usually only be fired once, and you have to retreat after firing. Unless the battle is intense, there will be no chance to fire a second shot. However, the fusiliers behind them were different. They were arranged in three stages. They were not holding their guns at this time, but were just waiting for the gun battalion in front to make the first move.

Zhang Fengyi and her husband are together. The two of them are leading the cavalry of the White Guard Army, guarding the flanks of the army. After the infantry is defeated head-on, they will go to pursue the defeated army. However, Zhang Fengyi still has another task, which is to record the first use of the gun using the new video recording function in the chat group, and then send it to the emperor for review.

The war elephants of Dongwu's army roared "moo" driven by the elephant soldiers. After slowly approaching the Ming army, they began to accelerate significantly. Dongwu's army behind the war elephant also started to trot. They have cooperated with the war elephant many times, knowing that once the war elephant runs away, it will be an unstoppable monster, and nothing can stop its impact.

Out of habit, they also roared, increasing the momentum of the battlefield, as if like a roaring wave, they were about to drown the opponents in front of them.

Wei Shouze stared coldly at the attack of Dong Wu's army, especially the ten war elephants, all of which were adult male elephants. They were tall and the power they charged towards them was really great. But he just looked at it with a sneer.

The distance of raising the gun is far enough, but the shooting accuracy is poor. Therefore, even though the war elephant had entered the effective range, Wei Shouze still did not move. He had been silently calculating in his heart that it was getting closer and closer, so close that he felt that the ground under his feet was being shaken by the elephant on the opposite side. At this time, he loudly ordered: "Shoot!"

When the officers of each army saw the red flag bearer holding the red flag next to the commander waving the red flag, they all shouted loudly: "Shoot!"

Suddenly, the sound of "bang bang bang" was heard continuously, and a thick smoke suddenly emerged from the Ming army's position. This movement can be described as earth-shaking. After all, there are a lot of guns in a row. Shooting together, although the power is not as powerful as the artillery, it is still big enough!

The running elephants suddenly let out screams as the Ming army moved.
