Seeing that his men were killed one by one by the Fengwu Army's firecrackers, and the Fengwu Army in the camp also began to gather, the Kipchak general Alteng who was in charge of the night attack was also very anxious... ·······················
As Bahat's confidant, Alten knew very well how much Bahat attached importance to this operation. Blowing up the artillery positions of the Fengwu Army would be a major factor in the subsequent defense of Jincheng. He knew that the task could not be missed and he must complete this task. !
Thinking of this, Alten also decided to implement the alternative plan and immediately ordered:
"Rocket! Rocket!"
Following Alten's order, hundreds of Kipchak soldiers immediately took out their hunting bows and arrows.
Although this hunting bow is an ordinary hunting bow, the arrows are specially treated. The arrows are attached with a piece of cotton soaked in kerosene, which can be burned instantly by breaking it with fire. This is what Bahat said. The trump card for this night raid!
Bahat knew that the Fengwu Army would focus on defending their artillery positions. Although the death squads he sent were not afraid of death, they might not be able to break through the Fengwu Army's heavy protection and blow up the Fengwu Army's most cherished heavy artillery, so he also did All ready.
If you can reach the artillery position, it is naturally best to blow up the Fengwu Army's heavy artillery. But if you can't rush in, use these rockets to shoot at the Fengwu Army's artillery position. Destroy as many heavy artillery pieces as you can. , in short, we must inflict heavy damage on the Fengwu Army at all costs...
As rockets were fired at the artillery position of the Fengwu Army, the artillery position also burned with some flames. Looking at the burning flames, Alten, who was in charge of the operation, and Bahat, who was watching on the top of the city, looked at each other. The middle is also full.
It is hoped that the flames will ignite the ammunition on the Fengwu Army's artillery positions and cause violent explosions at the Fengwu Army's artillery positions.
However, they waited for a cup of tea. Instead of waiting for the explosion, they saw the flames caused by the rocket being quickly extinguished by the Fengwu Army!
The Kipchaks were not the first to use night raids to blow up the Fengwu Army's artillery. In the past, the Fengwu Army had all faced the same enemies who wanted to use night raids to reduce the Fengwu Army's artillery. Advantages in Firearms.
Therefore, the Fengwu Army also has rich experience in preparing for enemy night attacks and possible fire attacks, in addition to the deployment of personnel.
The Fengwu Army also implemented a strict ammunition separation system. That is to say, when shelling is not needed, all artillery shells are placed in the powder magazine. When shelling is needed, the shells are taken from the powder magazine. After the shelling is over, the unused shells Immediately return it to the powder magazine.
This is to prepare for possible explosions caused by fire attacks. In addition to the ammunition separation system, the Fengwu Army also prepared many buckets filled with water and sand and gravel around the artillery positions. As long as there are When a fire occurs, start putting out the fire immediately and never let the fire expand...
I have to say that the Kipchaks are really bloody. Seeing the flames caused by the rockets being gradually extinguished by the Fengwu Army, which had already gathered thousands of people to surround and kill them, this Kipchak death squad did not retreat at all. , on the contrary, they tied gunpowder to their bodies and rushed towards the Fengwu Army!
However, even though these Kipchaks were very ferocious and unafraid of death, they were still like a mantis trying to shake a tree, and soon all the members of this death squad were either killed or captured by the Fengwu army. No one is spared!
Bahat on the top of the city saw that the Fengwu Army camp had returned to calm, and the expression on his face became more and more gloomy. He really never thought that the night attack would fail!
The hundreds of soldiers just dispatched are all elites in the army. If their sacrifice can blow up the artillery positions of the Fengwu Army, it will be worth it!
But if the mission fails, hundreds of elite casualties will be very painful for Bahat!
After all, although most of the Kipchak soldiers were very brutal and terrifying when they looted Dazhou's property, when faced with death, they could not be as determined and fearless as this death squad!
Only the entire Kipchak army in Jincheng can assemble one such death squad, and it would be very difficult to form another one... ······
Bahat, who was silent, couldn't help but sigh. The casualties were not what he cared about most. What he cared about most was that the Fengwu Army's artillery positions still existed!
If the Fengwu Army did not have these heavy artillery, Bahat felt that he could hold on in the city for a month or even longer!
However, under the devastation of these heavy artillery, it was very difficult for Jincheng to hold on for half a month. Thinking of this, Bahat couldn't help but have some thoughts of retreat!
Most of the soldiers and horses in the city are his tribesmen, so if there are too many casualties here, it will also affect his power within the Khanate!
In addition, not to mention that once the city is captured by the Fengwu Army, not only is there the risk of the entire army being annihilated, but he himself may also die here!
Realizing this, Bahat couldn't help but look to the southeast, where is the direction of Dazhou Yunbin!
Under the siege of the Fengwu Army, he had lost the ability to communicate with the outside world, so at this time Bahat did not know what Esdogan's plan was.
However, he boldly guessed that Estogan's plan was not going well, otherwise Estogan would have threatened Marshal Ye of the Fengwu Army and even captured Marshal Ye alive.
So based on Marshal Ye's prestige in the Fengwu Army, Yuan Song's troops should never be as unstable as they are now. Should they rush to help Yun Bing, or should they go crazy and attack Jincheng, trying to break through the city and capture him alive? Others, come to negotiate with Esdogan...
Thinking of this, Bahat couldn't help but feel deep resentment towards Estogan. He didn't advocate going south in the first place. It was Estogan who insisted on going south, and even used the authority of the Great Khan to forcibly gather the forces of the Khanate to go south. The entire Khanate was kidnapped on the chariot of his ambition!
And for his surprise attack this time, it stands to reason that such a big matter should be discussed with him, a veteran, but Esdogan, let alone discussing it, started to act rashly without even saying hello, and brought Ah This mess in the Styrian area was thrown directly at me, making me unprepared!
The more Bahat thought about it, the angrier he became, and an idea gradually came into his mind. If Estogan's surprise attack plan succeeded this time, it would be fine. If it failed, he should understand that even if he was a Khan, he would not be able to do it. It means that he can act arbitrarily within the Khanate!
If he still insists on his own opinion and refuses to listen to the opinions of old men like them, then the Khanate can change to a new Khan!
Although he has already had such an idea, for Bahat, these are still afterthoughts. The top priority is naturally the Fengwu Army under the city!
After some thought, Bahat had made a decision in his mind. He decided to try to hold on to Jincheng again. If he really couldn't hold on, he would never be able to bury all the sons of the Khanate here!
As for the guilt of losing the city, even Esdogan would not dare to pursue him...
Just as Bahat was thinking about his next move, Yuan Song in the Fengwu Army Camp was also awakened by the news of the enemy's night attack. He was lying on the bed wearing a piece of clothing and listening to the report of General Zheng Chuang.
"I'm telling Mr. Yuan that the enemy's night attack just now totaled about 500 people. Our army killed a total of 351 enemy soldiers and captured 132 people. Our army only suffered more than 200 casualties. There was no major damage to the artillery position, except that two guns were burned!"
After hearing the news, Yuan Song slightly nodded and said:
"Let the soldiers on night watch be careful. Be careful of the enemy's carbine, and don't slack off!"
Zheng Chuang nodded again.
"I understand, I'll make arrangements now!"
After speaking, Zheng Chuang hesitated for a moment and then suggested:
"Sir, it's not polite to reciprocate. Do you want to fire a few shots in retaliation?"
Yuan Song also agreed when he heard this:
"It's okay to fire a few shots to harass some enemies, but don't fire too many shots at night if you don't have good visibility.
, it is not easy for the logistics to send the shells up.
Can't waste it! "
"yes!"
After Zheng Chuang left, Yuan Song planned to continue sleeping. Now that he is older, he feels the importance of sleep even more. If he doesn't sleep well at night, his energy will be much less during the day!
However, when Yuan Song returned to bed, he was obviously very tired and sleepy, but he couldn't fall asleep. After tossing and turning for a while, he realized that he really couldn't fall asleep. Yuan Song simply stopped sleeping and asked the guards to light a few kerosene lamps for him. He turned on the lamp and began to write furiously in front of the bookcase.
The Battle of Yongliang has been progressing for some time. Yuan Song planned to make some reports to Ye Mingsheng on the current battle situation. Originally, he planned to write this report during the day tomorrow, but since he couldn't sleep now, he simply wrote it to Ye Mingsheng now. Ming Sheng
Yuan Song believed that with the artillery gradually in place, the time was ripe to attack Jincheng, and based on the current battle situation, he was confident that he would capture Jincheng before July and present a gift to Ye Cui's sixtieth birthday!
In addition to reporting on the battle situation, Yuan Song also asked Ye Mingsheng for instructions on the next move. Whether to continue going north or consolidate the current results, or other actions, the final decision needs to be made by the commander Ye Mingsheng... ·······················

Yi Jing, Ye Mansion
June 19, early morning.
An Miaoyi took Jingren to pay respects to Ye Cui. In the past few days, news came back to Yi Jing that the Kipchak Khan had led the Kipchak's most elite tiger division and went straight to Ye Mingsheng.
Somehow this news reached Ye Cui's ears. After Ye Cui heard the news, he asked the central government to send troops to rescue Ye Mingsheng.
In this regard, Cui Shao, An Miaoyi, Gu Sansi and others tried hard to persuade her. Although Ye Cui was stabilized, Ye Cui was not in good spirits since then and sometimes had nightmares at night!
After the doctor from the medical school came to see it, he said that it was caused by Ye Cui's overthinking. It was not a serious problem and did not require any medicine!
But Ms. Ye Cui should not always worry and try to be as calm as possible and stay in a happy mood. After An Miaoyi learned the news, she took Jingren to visit her grandmother these days, spending more time with the old man and thinking about making her happy. The old man forgets some unhappy things.
[In view of the general environment,
After having breakfast with Mrs. Ye Cui, An Miaoyi left Jingren at Mrs. Ye Cui's place and then returned to the room alone.
At this time, Qiqige had already taken a stack of memorials from the Attendant Department and sent them over to An Miaoyi and said:
"Madam, these are the memorials approved by the Central Council and the General Staff Department yesterday!"
An Miaoyi nodded after hearing the words, and then began to look through the memorials. Although Ye Mingsheng did not allow her to interfere in government affairs, this time Ye Mingsheng was away on an expedition, and the government affairs of the center were handed over to Cui Shao and Gu Sansi. Military affairs It was handed over to Zhao Han, but An Miaoyi was also given the right to know...
When Ye Mingsheng was in the Central Committee before, the Central Committee's way of handling matters was that the Central Committee was responsible for sorting out the priorities of the memorials submitted from various places, and then sent important matters to the Attendant Department, which would then handle them for Ye Mingsheng. The process of the Staff Department was similar. That's right.
Now that Ye Mingsheng is away on an expedition, government matters are decided by the Central Council, and military matters are also decided by the Staff Department. However, after these two agencies have processed the memorial, they still have to send it to the attendants. Secretary, and then handed over to An Miaoyi by the Attendant Division.
An Miaoyi needs to read these memorials and be aware of things. This is the right to know!
However, the right to know is the right to know. Although the completed memorial was sent over, An Miaoyi did not have the right to give opinions and make decisions!
An Miaoyi knew very well that the reason why Ye Mingsheng gave her this power was mainly because he was worried about his absence.
For a while, someone took the opportunity to make some small moves, so I gave myself the right to know and played a supervisory role.
Asking Qiqige to make herself a pot of fragrant tea, An Miaoyi sipped the tea while looking at the memorials in her hands.
She spent most of her time these days reading these memorials to see what was happening in the Fengwu Army.
Although people are a little tired to watch, An Miaoyi is a little bit happy. She is very keen on power, but under the restrictions of Ye Mingsheng, she always has to restrain her edge and be a little wife with peace of mind, handling matters for Ye Mingsheng. Good things at home.
An Miaoyi also has a lot of insights from these memorials that she has read recently. She used to think that if she was asked to handle these government affairs, she would do a very good job, but now looking at these memorials, An Miaoyi realizes that there are some things It's not as simple as she thought!
At the same time, this also made An Miaoyi admire her husband even more for being able to control such a huge power structure firmly in the palm of his hand...
