"Li Xiu must be prepared!"
Outside Shanhaiguan, under the central army of the Liaozhen army, Zu Dashou said it with confidence.
"He cannot not know his current support for the people. In this case, he dares to bring out all the military forces in the capital. He must have made some arrangements. He is probably waiting for those people to jump out and then catch them all in one go!"
“That’s natural.”
Yuan Chonghuan did not deny it, but nodded in agreement: "If he couldn't notice it, he wouldn't be alive now."
But then, Yuan Chonghuan smiled: "But, he knows, so what can he do?"
"He can only watch. Even if he takes the opportunity to cleanse it up, it will only lose people's hearts!"
"The world is in chaos, and he usurped the country and took power. Even if he pacified the world, he would not be facing him, Li Xiu or Daheng in less than a few decades."
"As long as the capital is in chaos, no matter whether it is successful or not, the world will be even more chaotic!"
"And, how to finish after the chaos is a big problem..."
Zu Dashou laughed: "Anyway, no matter what, this time it is our turn to reap the benefits!"
"That's natural. No matter how you fight this battle, we are the final winners!"
Looking at Shanhaiguan in front of him, Yuan Chonghuan also sighed a little while talking and laughing: "It would have been great if Queen Mother Zhou had gone crazy earlier that time, so that Li Xiu would not have time to sort out the army and run the Ming Dynasty's garrison into a solid piece..."
"Under the current situation, without those military-reformed guards to conquer the current Daheng national destiny, that would be the real chaos in the world and the heroes would rise together, that would be a great good thing for us!"
"This Shanhaiguan may not be able to fall into our hands..."
"What a pity!"
"This may be..."
Zu Dashou shook his head and said, "No one knows what chaos will be. If it gets out of control, we can't say there is an opportunity to take advantage of it."
"If there is no chance, let's do it. If there is a chance, let's take advantage of the opportunity."
"No matter how you fight, no matter who loses, we are the final winners!"
...
"kill!"
"Daheng! Ten Thousand Years!"
Endless bloody battles have been coming to this Datong City for more than half a month. The newly repaired Datong City has been destroyed between blood and fire.
Under the broken Daheng Dragon Flag is a cruel collision between offense and defense!
Nearly 200,000 Mongolian cavalry besieged Datong City, which had less than 10,000 defenders. The cruelty of the war can be imagined.
Although nomadic peoples are not good at siegeing cities, they are only relatively speaking. At least, for Lin Dankhan's tribe, entanglement with the Ming Dynasty and the Later Jin Dynasty in recent years, siegeing cities has long been a necessary skill.
Even the form of war has almost surpassed the form of war of nomadic peoples.
Once upon a time, nomadic peoples took riding and shooting as the foundation.
Although riding and shooting are still fundamental, the terrifying firearms of the former Duke of Qin and the current Emperor of Daheng have long become nightmares for Mongolia and the Later Jin Dynasty.
Under such influence, firearms naturally became the existence that Mongolia and the Later Jin Dynasty pursued frantically.
Nowadays, muskets and cannons have become the norm in Mongolia and the Later Jin Dynasty. Although it is difficult to have a system of firearms as the Daheng army, there is no large-scale firearm supply system for Dahengcheng. In Mongolia and the Later Jin Dynasty, firearms also have a considerable popularity rate.
Compared with a few years ago, whether it was the Ming Dynasty, Mongolia or the Later Jin Dynasty, they scoffed at fire sticks like firearms. Now, after Li Xiu's perseverance in pursuing firearms and making firearms dominate in the war, firearms have become the goal that the three parties unanimously pursued.
Under such influence, the status of craftsmen naturally rose. Even in the Later Jin Dynasty, where all Han people were slaves, a qualified craftsman was treated no less than that of a serious bannerman!
In Mongolia, due to the scarcity of craftsmen, almost every craftsman is the heart of Lin Danhan. There was once a commander who killed several old craftsmen because of the distribution of firearms, and was directly executed by Lin Danhan!
With such emphasis on firearms, the already cruel siege battle has undoubtedly become extremely bloody.
The firearms of both offense and defense were roaring, and arrows were flying everywhere. Various methods of firearms were developed in this war.
Such as the thunder that is like a grenade, such as the powder barrel that specializes in blowing up city walls, etc.
Although the form of war has not been completely changed, it has changed a lot compared to before!
"There's a damn insider, why can the Mongols' red-clothed cannons be so far away!"
"When your arrival, I must study with Your Majesty. I want to see which bastards are..."
Datong commander Shen Kuo poked his head out from under the female wall, looked at the roaring cannons in the Mongolian army, and couldn't help but curse and speak out.
The treasure of the army in Daheng's army is the improved red-clothed cannon. In terms of range and power, it is far better than the red-clothed cannon in the past.
Therefore, in previous wars, even though the troops were at a disadvantage, artillery often suppressed the enemy's bombardment!
But this time, it was different. More than a dozen red-clothed cannons in Datong City were suppressed and bombarded by Mongolia.
After more than half a month of war, the dozen red-clothed cannons that once had only single digits left. Even if they were shot, they would immediately push the cannon away with casualties. Otherwise, if Mongolia would burst into chaos, they might lose another red-clothed cannon.
"Retreat, Mongolia retreated!"
Just as Shen Kuo was cursing, his vague shouting quickly spread to the entire city wall.
"The army has been withdrawn, the Mongolian has retreated!"
Shen Kuo looked closely and saw that the Mongolian cavalry, who had just attacked fiercely, sounded the horn of the gold to withdraw troops in the blink of an eye, and the army attacked the city and retreated in an orderly manner.
“What’s the situation?”
Shen Kuo was also a little stunned during this sudden change, but soon, a sudden jubilation gave him the answer.
"Reinforcements are here!"
"Your descend!"
"Long live Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty is mighty!"
Shen Kuo subconsciously looked in the direction where the sound came, and saw endless iron cavalry rushing at the end of the sky, and the Great Heng Dragon Flag that covered the sky and the sun was floating, like a surging tsunami, appearing in front of the flanks of the Mongolian army with thunder.
"Long live!"
"Long live your Majesty!"
In this scene, Shen Kuo couldn't help but feel excited. He stood up suddenly and shouted excitedly!
At this moment, all the hesitation and worries in my heart disappeared!
Their backbone is here!
The will to win in battle seems to have come to the hearts of all the soldiers at this moment.
