1056 God’s place of snapping the whip (2)
Everything in the camp had been arranged. Even if they pretended to “retreat in defeat,” they were still in good order.
The entire military horse stockade, which was part of the outer city area of fishing city, was originally the focus of the Mongolia Army’s Vanguard forces. Over the past few months, in order to take down the military horse stockade, the Mongolian army had used all kinds of methods, such as sneak attacks, night raids, and forceful attacks. Now, when they saw the song Army in the military horse stockade ‘retreating’ in defeat and that some of the vanguard forces had climbed up the wall section of the military horse stockade, the morale of the entire Mongolian Vanguard Army was greatly boosted. A large number of soldiers followed the scaling ladder and continuously surged into the military horse stockade.
However, the defense of the outer city of fishing city was divided into different areas, just like the watertight cabins of ships. The entire defense line of fishing city would not be broken just because one place was broken. The fall of the military horse camp only opened up a gap in the outer city of fishing city, causing part of the outer city to fall. The Mongolia army that entered the military horse camp immediately discovered that there was a path leaning against the mountain in front of them. The thick city wall made of stone was waiting for them to attack.
Before the scaling ladders outside the military horse stockade could be transported up, the Mongolia army that had rushed into the military horse stockade had already swarmed to the side of the city wall at the back. shoot the Pixiu for me! a voice with a Sichuan accent came from above, and a wave of arrows shot down from the opening above. Instantly, the Mongolian army in the military horse stockade let out a series of miserable cries, and a large number of people fell to the ground after being shot.
The Mongolia army in the military horse camp was not to be outdone. They immediately returned fire with their bows and arrows. However, the walls of fishing city were set up in a very tricky way, and they protected the soldiers very well. The arrows that were shot up from below could not hit the people behind the walls. Most of them missed.
haha, these sons of b * tches are sending arrows to us again! the general on the city wall behind them laughed.
As a last resort, the Mongolia army that had broken into the military horse stockade, after leaving behind a large number of corpses, could only retreat from the second outer city wall of fishing city behind the military horse stockade, temporarily giving up the attack.
……
On the outer city wall of fishing city, Xia Pingan squinted his eyes and calmly watched the Mongolia army retreat from the side of the city wall. He then looked at the flag with the word ” Wang ” on it in the vanguard camp of the Mongolian army in the distance. His eyes flashed, and he softly muttered to himself, ” this time, you should be here, right? ”
As the saying goes,’you can’t catch a Wolf without giving up your child’. This military horse camp that was abandoned on purpose was the child that Xia Pingan threw out to lure the Mongolia Vanguard general, Wang Dechen. Only by killing Wang Dechen, could they completely enrage the Great Khan of Mongol in the middle of the Mongolian army, creating the conditions for fishing city to kill the great Mongolian man. God’s whip would be broken here, and the entire course of the war would be changed.
This was Xia Pingan’s chain of plans based on the evolutionary path of history. Only Xia Pingan had such a vision. The other soldiers of the great song who were fighting in fishing city at this moment could not understand the various strategic considerations behind the deliberate abandonment of the military horse stronghold by the Commander-in-Chief, Wang Jian.
……
As expected, in just a moment, the news that the vanguard Army had taken down fishing city’s campsite and entered fishing city reached the commander’s tent of the Mongolia Vanguard Army.
what? we’ve already taken down the military horse camp? ” upon hearing the news from his subordinates, Wang Dechen, the general of the Mongolia Vanguard, who was in the middle of a discussion with his generals in the tent, suddenly stood up. His Tiger Eyes were filled with might, and he was clearly excited.
Wang Dechen wasn’t a han, but a renowned general from the Mongolia. He had made countless contributions on the battlefield and was highly regarded by the Great Khan of Mongols, and was appointed as the vanguard Marshal of the West Army.
Wang Dechen had led his men to attack fishing city for months. Under the command of Wang Jian, fishing city was like a rock in the river, unmoved. His Vanguard Army had long been exhausted and had low morale. He did not expect that after several months of hard work, an opening had been opened in fishing city today, and he saw the hope of taking down fishing city. How could Wang Dechen not be excited?
This wasn’t the first time Wang Dechen and Wang Jian had fought. In the 10th year of chunyou, Wang Jian had fought with Wang Dechen in Xingyuan, Wenzhou, and other places under the command of the general Commander of the anti-Mongolian army, Yu Jie. Wang Dechen knew his old rival very well.
men, prepare the horses! Wang Dechen shouted. He immediately put on his armor and left the tent. With the guards by his side, he charged toward the military horse camp that had just been taken down by the Mongolian army.
When they arrived at the military camp, they got off their horses and entered the outer city of fishing city through the ladder. Wang Dechen saw the layout inside and gasped. Fishing city was like an Iron Turtle with layers upon layers of shells. They had spent months to take down the military camp, but they did not expect there to be a wall inside. If they continued to attack, the losses of their vanguards would not be less than those in the front. It would be more difficult. The ladder and other things would have to be transported up from below.
Even though there were quite a number of Mongolian Warriors in the military camp, all of them looked exhausted. Some of them even felt a hint of fear as they looked at the stone Rampart that was built against the mountain.
On the city wall of fishing city opposite the military horse camp, there were a few song army generals in armor. They were very conspicuous. Upon a closer look, they were none other than Wang Jian.
Wang Dechen ordered his men to stop their attack and even took a few steps back. Then, under the watchful eyes of the two armies, he stepped forward alone and shouted at Wang Jian, who was on the city wall behind the barracks, ” is general Wang Jian here? I am Wang Dechen, and I am here to persuade you to surrender. If you do so, I can spare your life!
As the vanguard general of the Mongolia army, Wang Dechen was bold and heroic. When the two armies were facing each other, he went forward alone to persuade them to surrender. He was almost within the shooting range of fishing city’s arrows, and this caused a slight commotion among the troops on both sides.
After a moment of silence on the city wall of fishing city, a gate at the foot of the city wall slowly opened. Xia Pingan, dressed in armor, walked out of the gate calmly and confidently, and stood directly in front of Wang Dechen, more than twenty meters away.
When they saw Wang Jian leaving the city, the Mongolia army was once again in an uproar.
“Haha, general Wang Jian, are you going to forsake the dark and join the light to surrender to me?” Wang Dechen laughed.
“Wrong, I’m not here to surrender. I just came down to say a few words to you!” Xia Pingan said calmly.
Wang Dechen’s face turned serious. general Wang, you’re so brave. You actually dare to come out of the city and stand here to talk to me!
hahaha, this fishing city is the territory of the great song. If you dare to stand here, why can’t I? ” Xia ping ‘an looked around and laughed. The surrounding Mongolia soldiers saw this and were all stunned by Xia ping’ an’s aura.
“What do you want to say?” Wang Dechen asked.
you and I are both generals, and we serve different Masters. This is not the first time we’ve fought on the battlefield. We generals will speak in the way of generals. If you dare to draw your sword and fight me here and kill me, I’ll make the defenders of fishing city surrender! If I kill you, I’ll make your people leave the camp!” Xia Pingan narrowed her eyes and looked at Wang Dechen. I wonder if you dare to do it? ”
Wang Dechen’s aura suddenly became as dangerous as a Tiger’s. One of his hands was already on the hilt of his saber at his waist. are you serious? ” he asked in a deep voice.
Wang Dechen had been practicing archery since he was a child and had always regarded himself as a brave warrior. He had been through hundreds of battles in the Army and never dodged blades and arrows. There was even a record of him leading his men on foot to attack a city when his Mount was killed on the battlefield. Wang Dechen was now in his Prime, so when he heard Wang Jian’s challenge, he was not afraid at all. He only felt his blood boiling.
Xia ping ‘an turned around and ordered the guards on the city wall, ” today, I will have a fair fight with the vanguard Marshal of the Mongolian army, Wang Dechen. If I am killed by Wang Dechen, you can open the city and surrender. This is my order!
The generals on the city wall acknowledged the order in unison.
“Good, I didn’t expect that there would be such a hero among the Han people!” Wang Dechen roared and turned to the people behind him. I’ll fight general Wang Jian here today. We’ll fight to the death as Warriors, and we’ll also bet on the ownership of fishing city and the military horse stockade. If I die in the battle, you’ll leave the military horse stockade and no siege for one day!
The generals of the Mongolia Vanguard Army were also shocked, and they acknowledged the order in unison.
With a Dragon’s Roar, Xia Pingan pulled out the Dragon spring sword from his waist and pointed it to the sky. please!
Wang Dechen also drew his scimitar from his waist. With a loud roar, he rushed towards Xia Pingan like a cheetah. He raised his scimitar and slashed at Xia Pingan. His movements and reactions were all that of a battle-tested master.
Both sides clashed in the middle of the camp, sparks flying everywhere. After a series of dazzling clanking sounds, a dragon-like sword light suddenly appeared in Xia Pingan’s hand. The two of them passed each other in the blink of an eye. Wang Dechen staggered and turned his head with difficulty to look at Xia Pingan. what a great sword technique!
After saying that, Wang Dechen spat out a mouthful of blood and the scimitar in his hand fell to the ground. He fell to the ground, and a pool of red blood spread from his neck.
Xia ping ‘an looked at Wang Dechen, who was lying on the ground, and put the Dragon spring back into its sheath. Without looking at the Mongolia soldiers, he walked straight toward the gate of fishing city.
The Mongolia soldiers in the military camp behind him were silent for a few seconds before an uproar broke out. Quite a number of Mongolian soldiers with red eyes were about to charge forward. &Nbsp;
All of a sudden, one of the generals among the Mongolia soldiers let out a loud roar and said something in the Mongolian language to the soldiers. The soldiers who were about to charge forward stopped in their tracks and watched as Xia Pingan returned to fishing city.
When Xia Pingan entered the city, a few Mongolia soldiers came up to collect Wang Dechen’s body. After that, the Mongolian soldiers who had attacked the camp retreated like a tide.
……
general! Xia Pingan entered the city, and all the generals and Colonels in the city immediately rushed over excitedly.
after the Mongolian army retreats, we’ll take back and strengthen the defenses of the city! Xia Pingan ordered.
“Yes!” The generals and Colonels answered with high morale.
In the blink of an eye, the entire fishing city was cheering. The news that general Wang Jian had killed the vanguard Marshal of the enemy, Wang Dechen, had spread throughout the entire fishing city. On the other hand, the attacking Mongolian army suddenly became listless. Except for the military camp, the attacking Mongolian army from other places quickly retreated.
Xia Pingan patrolled around fishing city. After a while, he arrived at the Northwest of fishing city amidst the cheers of the city. There were several fortresses on the outer city wall. There were arrow towers on the higher part of the fortresses, and on the lower level of the arrow towers, there were several windows that faced the Northwest. Since the start of the war, Xia Pingan had ordered people to block the windows with sandbags and wooden boards. From the outside, the attacking Mongolian army thought that the windows were sealed. He wondered what was down there.
Outside the room, there were special soldiers and generals guarding it. Ordinary people were not allowed to enter.
general! as soon as Xia Pingan arrived, the general who was guarding the place immediately saluted and led Xia Pingan into the room.
In the room of the fortress, a huge guy that was several meters long was lying in the room, covered by a red cloth.
...
Xia ping ‘an removed the red cloth covering the big thing, and a black cannon with a barrel about two meters long appeared in the room. It had a ferocious look on its face-Thunderbolt cannon, the king of firearms in the great song.
Xia ping ‘an gently touched the cold and hard body of the Thunderbolt cannon. After coming to fishing city for several years, Xia ping’ an had gathered craftsmen to build five Thunderbolt cannons, trained five teams of skilled cannoneers, and placed the Thunderbolt cannons in the fortress Northwest of fishing city. Since the Mongolia Vanguard Army attacked fishing city, he had kept the five Thunderbolt cannons in the Fort for several months, waiting for the right time.
Xia ping ‘an checked the gunpowder, pellets, and other items stored here. They were all well-preserved and could be used for battle at any time. He secretly nodded.
Sir, when can we let this Thunderbolt cannon open fire and teach those sons of b * tches a lesson? my brothers under my command can’t wait for these few months. They all want to let this Thunderbolt cannon show its power! The general who was guarding this place said to Xia ping ‘an.
if you dare to use the Thunderbolt cannon without my order, you will be killed, ” Xia Pingan said coldly. He looked at the general, whose face had turned cold, and softened his tone. He patted the general’s shoulder, looked at the cannoneers around him, and comforted him, ” let all of you wait patiently for a few more days. I promise you that I will definitely give you the opportunity to make a name for yourself in history. This Thunderbolt cannon is not used to kill flies. If you want to hit it, you must … Must break the God’s whip.
God’s whip? No one present knew what the God’s whip was. However, since general Wang had said so, he would not lie to them.
The muzzles of the five cannons in the fortress were facing the Northwest of fishing city, waiting quietly.
After that, Xia Pingan left the guardhouse and went to the arrow tower at the top. He looked toward the West.
In the Northwest of fishing city, there was a small hill called MA ‘an. At this moment, the Mongolia army was building an observation tower on the hill so that they could observe the situation in fishing city. The observation tower was almost completed, and the mast on the tower had been erected and was being reinforced for the last time. The five Thunderbolt cannons under the arrow tower were facing there, and everything was under Xia Pingan’s control.
On this side of the city gate tower, Xia ping ‘an had arranged for a few people with good eyesight to keep an eye on the situation of the Watchtower on MA’ an’s horse every day. Once there was any movement, they would immediately report it.
Xia ping ‘an even lived below the turret so that he could react quickly at any time.
...
……
Wang Dechen’s body had been sent to the central camp of the Western Army after dark. Seeing his body, the Great Khan Mongo, who had been in the central camp this entire time, was filled with grief and rage.
massacre! When fishing city falls, I will not leave even a dog or a chicken alive! Kill them all! Kill them all! in the tent, the Great Khan Meng Ge was furious, venting his anger on his generals. after tomorrow, order the vanguard Army to speed up the siege! I must see that Wang Jian’s head in my tent!
……
As expected, the Mongolia Vanguard Army outside the city only rested for a day, and on the second day, they swarmed up again and started to besiege fishing city. &Nbsp;
&Nbsp; on the other hand, fishing city did not panic. Under the command of the generals defending the city, they dealt with the situation calmly, forcing the Mongolia Vanguard to retreat time and time again. After each attack, other than leaving behind corpses, the attacking Mongolian army did not take anything.
After a few days, Xia Pingan ordered his men to wrap the two tails of the thirty-catty fresh fish and more than a hundred steamed bread in a straw mat and throw them to the front of the Mongolia army outside the city with a trebuchet. He also left a letter inside to the Great Khan of monggo. In the letter, there was only a line of words written by Xia Pingan himself, ” even if you attack for another ten years, you will not be able to take down fishing city. Hahaha … Wang Jian!
……
Not long after the letter was thrown out, it was placed on the desk of Great Khan Mongo. Looking at the wild handwriting on the letter, Great Khan Mongo felt that the words were like slaps on his face, making his face hot.
The Mongolia army had swept through the world, and had never suffered such humiliation.
For the first time, the Great Khan of Mongols wavered. At this moment, the situation of the Army on the West was not optimistic. The Army had been blocked by fishing city for several months and could not meet with the other two armies in Ezhou on time. The hot summer in Sichuan was unbearable, and the humidity by the river was heavy. The Mongolia were originally afraid of the heat and humidity, and they were not acclimatized to the weather. This caused the spread of diseases such as summer fever, malaria, and plague in the Army. Many soldiers had already fallen in the barracks before they could attack the city. The situation was quite serious. Adding on the fact that they couldn’t take down the city and their commander had died, the morale of the vanguard Army was already low.
Mongo’s eyes passed through the tent and looked in the direction of fishing city. He felt like there was an invisible giant beast there, devouring his ambition and prestige in the entire Empire.
The Mongolia army had already conquered all the countries on the continent. The number of Kings and monarchs who had once prostrated themselves before him was even more than the number of eunuchs in his palace. How could the Army he LED stop in front of this tiny fishing city?
I’d like to see how indestructible the fishing city is! Brother Meng slammed his palm on the table and gritted his teeth.
……
A few days later, Khan Mongo personally came to the vanguard Army. Surrounded by his generals, he came to the Watchtower on the horse’s Mount and observed the situation in fishing city up close.
There was still some distance between the Watchtower and fishing city, and it was outside the range of the trebuchets of fishing city, so there was no need to worry about being attacked by the trebuchets of the city. Therefore, Mongo went upstairs with a peace of mind, followed by a few guards with shields.
What Mongo didn’t know was that when he had just arrived at the lookout tower on Mount MA ‘an, Xia Pingan was already standing on the fortress at the Northwest corner of fishing city. He was holding a telescope that had been made by the craftsman who made the Kasaya. He was looking in the direction of the lookout tower on Mount MA’ an with a serious expression on his face as he quickly issued orders.
The Fort was facing the sandbags and wooden boards in front of the window in the direction of the horse’s Mount. They were being quickly removed, and the black muzzles of the five Thunderbolts were pointing at the Watchtower on the horse’s Mount.
Everyone operating the Thunderbolt cannon was busy. The cannoneers had been idle for a few months, waiting for this moment to calibrate the cannon, load the ammunition, and insert the Thunderbolt bullets. They were just waiting for Xia Pingan’s order.
In fact, there was no need for calibration. When Xia Pingan was training the cannoneers, he used the land around fishing city as training targets. The cannoneers were already familiar with how to aim at each target and how to hit it accurately.
The observation tower on the horse’s saddle was so high above the ground that it was the best target for the Thunderbolt cannon.
……
Brother Meng finally climbed up the Watchtower and looked at fishing city.
Through the telescope in Xia Pingan’s hand, brother Meng’s face was already clearly visible!
the general of fishing city, Wang Jian, and the Deputy general, Zhang Ji, as well as the soldiers who defended fishing city, are all killed here today! Xia Pingan muttered to himself when he saw brother Meng climbing up the Watchtower, sweating profusely. He then suddenly swung his raised hand downward.
fire! Zhang Ji, who was standing beside Xia Pingan, shouted.
……
BOOM!
The Thunderbolt cannon made five sounds at the same time, and the smoke of gunpowder suddenly rose from several forts, as if a Thunder had struck in fishing city.
The Watchtower on the horse’s saddle was hit by five Thunderbolt bullets almost at the same time. The mast on the Watchtower collapsed, and the high-speed flying iron sheets and bullets swept across the entire Watchtower, causing blood and flesh to fly everywhere.
Xia ping ‘an watched as blood spurted out from brother Meng’s neck and chest, which were drenched in sweat. He was blasted off the Watchtower by the Thunderbolt.
The other Mongolia generals who had followed the Great Khan up to the Watchtower were also heavily injured, and a large number of them fell.
No one in the Mongolia army had expected that there would be a Thunderbolt cannon hidden in fishing city, and the Watchtower was actually within the range of the Thunderbolt cannon.
Brother Meng had died the moment he fell from the Watchtower.
The vanguard camp of the Mongolia army was in complete chaos. &Nbsp;
