"General Yuan, what are you doing?"
Seeing that Yuan Chonghuan was about to hand the tiger talisman to him, Hu Yunqing did not dare to follow up, so he quickly helped Yuan Chonghuan and asked.
"Your Majesty, only you can lead us to turn the tide, and please take charge of the military!"
Yuan Chonghuan had no intention of getting up, but insisted on letting Hu Yunqing accept the tiger charm.
Hu Yunqing looked at the tiger talisman in Yuan Chonghuan's hand. It seemed like a big mountain, responsible for the safety of the Ming Dynasty in the pass, and the people all over the world were also tied to the tiger talisman.
"I must not take over. You, General Yuan, are the commander-in-chief of the army. All the soldiers only obey you. If I were to take charge of the army, I am afraid it will cause a mutiny. It is also taboo to change generals on the spot."
"What do you mean?"
Listening to Hu Yunqing's concerns, Yuan Chonghuan looked at the generals in the tent and asked.
"Please also ask the prince to take charge of the army!"
"My lord, please accept the tiger talisman and lead us to repel Jiannu!"
...
All the generals expressed their support for Hu Yunqing to take charge of the army.
"Okay, since everyone believes in me so much, I will reluctantly hold it. After Jiannu retreats, the military power of the army will be returned to General Yuan."
Seeing that everyone agreed, Hu Yunqing also took the tiger charm from Yuan Chonghuan's hand, put it in his hand and said to everyone.
"Follow the order!"
"Tonight, Wang Hu, lead a thousand cavalry, hold torches and throw them at the opponent's camp. Disassemble all the cannons on the city wall and pull them out. When Wang Hu leads his men back, aim them at the slave camp. Fire in this direction! These are enough for the slaves to drink from."
Jianu almost never set up defenses at night because they firmly believed that the Ming Dynasty did not dare to leave the city. Hu Yunqing did this just to take a chance.
Now that Ming Dynasty is at a disadvantage, doing this is also a dangerous move.
"Wang Hu takes the order!"
Wang Hu quickly left the tent and started to select cavalry. This time it was very dangerous and he had to bring experienced cavalry. If the other party found out in advance, they would be trapped outside the city and it was very likely that they would be killed. A bloody battle.
Even if they die together, the slaves will suffer heavy losses.
"Everyone follow me up the wall and see what happens."
Standing here and looking at nothing, Hu Yunqing thought for a while and said to everyone.
"Your Majesty, the city wall is really too dangerous. I'll go there and keep an eye on it. I'll let you know if anything happens."
Hearing that Hu Yunqing was going to the city wall, Yuan Chonghuan came out anxiously to volunteer.
"Shut up! If something happens to Wang Hu and the others, what's the use of looking at a pile of sand here! By the time you tell me, Wang Hu will have been wrapped in horse leather!"
This is their first battle with Jiannu. Although they are attacking the opponent by surprise, if they lose, it will greatly affect their morale. This battle can only be successful, and no mistakes are allowed.
"yes!"
The group arrived at Shanhaiguan. Wang Hu was also at the gate, looking at his men and carefully telling them what to do.
The cannons on the city wall were also lifted down below.
Night fell, and it was so dark that nothing could be seen. The city gate opened quietly. Push it forward first, then stop when the cannons are within range, and start adjusting the final angle.
These cannons were also a top priority. Hu Yunqing also sent a lot of carts. After shooting the cannonballs, they quickly pulled them back and could not leave them outside.
After the cannon was finished, Hu Yunqing also asked Wang Hu to lead the people.
At this time, there were only twenty or thirty people guarding the Jiannu military camp, and they were all careless.
"what sound?"
In Jiannu's military camp, the people responsible for guarding became alert when they heard the sound of horse hooves.
"The people of Ming Dynasty are coming!"
When they saw the Jiannu cavalry, it was already too late. They had already arrived not far from the military camp.
"Light it on fire! Throw it!"
Arriving outside the Jiannu military camp, Wang Hu asked people to light torches, led the soldiers on horseback into the Jiannu camp, threw away the torches and walked back quickly.
"withdraw!"
Fires began to break out everywhere in the Jiannu camp, but only the tent in front of them, Obai, and Ashan La who had been in the tent heard the commotion and came out anxiously.
"what happened?"
As soon as he came out, he saw the tent in front of him was on fire. Obai anxiously grabbed a soldier who was rescuing him and asked.
"The Ming Dynasty's cavalry just attacked our military camp, set fire to it and escaped. We are putting out the fire now!"
When the soldiers saw that it was the commander, they quickly told the situation ahead.
"Why put out the fire now? Where are the Ming Dynasty's cavalry?"
After Ashanla heard this, he was immediately furious and asked the soldiers anxiously.
"They all ran away and are now putting out the fire, afraid that the fire will set all the tents on fire."
"roll!"
Seeing these wastes, Obai became more and more angry.
"Commander Ao, there's something wrong with this matter. The other party only sets fire to it. It's so unreasonable."
Ashanla felt something was wrong and quickly said to Obai next to him.
"What do you mean?"
Whoosh!
Just when Ashala was about to speak, a voice came from the sky.
"No, hide now!"
Ashan La listened to the sound that came from him. He was very familiar with this sound. It was the sound of falling cannonballs. His face instantly turned pale, and he quickly pulled Obai into hiding.
Throughout the Jiannu military camp, cannonballs were falling everywhere.
"Ah! I'm going to kill them!"
Obai stood up covered in dirt, looked at the embarrassed camp and roared.
"Stop yelling now. These cannons can't hit far. They must be very close to us. Now send out the cavalry to stop them. If these cannons are stopped, the Khan won't blame them!"
Compared to Obai's instructions, Ashanla was very calm. After analyzing why the artillery shells were able to penetrate the military camp, he hurriedly said to Obai.
If the Great Khan comes tomorrow and sees heavy casualties before the fight even begins, Long Yan will definitely be furious and can only make up for it as much as possible.
"Quickly, blow the trumpet and order the cavalry to charge towards Shanhaiguan. You must stop them all before returning with the cannon!"
After listening to Ashanla's words, Aobai felt that it was very reasonable and quickly ordered people to do it.
"Commander, our horses were frightened just now. Many horses ran away. Our people are catching them."
After the horn was blown, not many people chased him, but many generals came here to explain the situation.
"It's over, put out the fire quickly and count all the losses."
Seeing that even the cannon could not be retained, Ashanla sighed and ordered to his subordinates.
"Why are you standing there in a daze? Why don't you hurry up and go!"
After all, Ashan La is the commander of the Zhenghong Banner, and these people who came are all generals of the Zhenglan Banner. After hearing Ashan La's order, no one moved.
Oboi, who was already angry, saw that no one was moving, so he yelled at them angrily.
"As you command!"
After hearing Obai's order, everyone quickly began to count the casualties and losses.
