The peaks and mountains of Beita Mountain wind from northwest to southeast, stretching for 160 miles between Qamdo La and Changji.
The mountain is high in the middle and steep on the north side, making it difficult to climb.
Beita Mountain is connected to Haputik Mountain in the southeast, and the connection point is a three-mile-long canyon. The two ends of the canyon are open, four or five miles long, and the narrowest point is in the middle, only a hundred steps away. It is a gourd-shaped canyon.
Karachi arrived outside the Beita Mountain Canyon with fifteen thousand cavalry, staring at the canyon in the distance, feeling uneasy in his heart.
Asuliang commanded the scouts to enter the valley to investigate. The scouts galloped into the valley and ran through the narrowest point. They looked left and right and found nothing unusual. Then they rode back and reported to Karachi: "There is nothing unusual in the valley. , there is no Ming army."
Karachi looked at the returning scout and reprimanded him with a majestic look: "Why didn't you come out of the valley? You only returned halfway. Have you forgotten how to conduct reconnaissance?"
The scout looked at Karachi depressedly and pointed at the canyon: "General, the most dangerous part of the canyon is the narrowest part in the middle. If the Ming Dynasty really has an ambush, they should ambush there. Who would choose to ambush in a wide place? We are cavalry, even if We were ambushed and we passed the narrowest point. A single charge was enough to finish off the Ming army, so why bother running an extra mile?"
Asuliang laughed loudly and said to Karachi who was about to get angry: "He is right. The Ming Dynasty mainly uses infantry. If they really want to ambush us, the narrowest part of the canyon is their only chance. If they get past that, haha , the Ming infantry can only be like lambs waiting to be slaughtered."
Karachi thought about it, and that was indeed the case.
As long as there is no danger in the narrowest part of the canyon, even if there is any danger, it is not considered dangerous. With the Ming Dynasty infantry, the charge is, and with the Ming cavalry, the charge is simple, only the charge ear.
"Then let's hurry up. Harry's army should be not far from Ming's main force."
Karachi nodded, drove his horse aside, and directed the cavalry to enter the valley, but he, Asuliang and others carefully stayed at the rear of the army. The cautious Karachi looked ahead and saw that the cavalry team in front had passed the narrowest part of the valley and there was still no movement. He felt relieved and followed the army into the canyon.
The mountains on both sides are not steep, but the trees are very dense and the grass is very lush. It is much lusher than the vegetation in the distance. It should be because of the proximity to the canyon.
Karachi didn't think much and rode his horse through the narrowest part of the canyon. The front became wider and wider.
Nai Buhua, who was twenty-five and six, was very excited. The expedition to the Ming Dynasty was much easier than imagined. This group of people was just a mob, and their fighting power was not as good as the rioting flock of sheep.
"Nabuhua, why are you laughing?"
Abler asked.
Nabuhua pointed forward: "I heard that the main force of the Ming Dynasty is there, numbering fifty or sixty thousand, and they also brought a lot of baggage. I was wondering if I could try the food cooked by the Ming chefs for dinner at night."
Abul laughed loudly: "Where are the Ming cooks when the army is passing by? Do you want to go talk to the general and leave a few cooks to make some food for our brothers?"
Nobuhua looked back and did not see Karachi in the crowd, but shook her head firmly: "Forget it, the general will not leave anyone alive."
Abul smiled and looked to the east. The sun slowly rose and the sky and earth became clear.
Nobuhua followed the cavalry in front and glanced at the mountains on the right out of boredom. His eyes suddenly narrowed. Just now, an unnatural light shone, subtle and very small.
"Did you notice?"
But don't bother asking Abel.
Abel looked at Nobuhua in confusion: "What did you see?"
Nobuhua pointed to the mountains: "There seems to be a little light in the trees and grass." Abel looked at it and found no flash of light, so he couldn't help but said, "It must be the light of the sun shining on the dewdrops."
Nobuhua looked at the mountains, and there was another flash of light. She couldn't help but feel nervous, and said quickly: "It doesn't look like dewdrops. The reflection is a bit bigger this time. It seems to be armor or a weapon!"
Abul squinted his eyes and saw that there were only woods and grass on the mountain. There was no light at all: "You are overthinking it. Besides, look at the narrowest valley behind. How many soldiers can be ambushed on that hilltop? Two hundred on one side." That's the most, then, why should four hundred people eat fifteen thousand of us?"
"But there may be ambushes elsewhere!"
Nabuhua pointed to the mountains in the distance.
Abul smiled: "You too, Ming soldiers have no fighting ability, but they are not fools. Look, we have reached a wide area now. The mountains on the left and right are at least two miles away from us. The ambush is two miles away. Is it an ambush on the hillside, or is it to see us off? You have to see clearly, what you are carrying between your legs is a war horse, and it can run very fast. By the time they come from two miles away, we will be far away."
Nabuhua looked around. Indeed, the distance between the two sides was a bit far. Even if there was an ambush, they would not be able to bury or ambush them.
I think too much.
Tulhulu raised his hand and stopped the advancing cavalry. He looked into the distance and saw a group of Ming sergeants, infantrymen, appearing a mile away.
"There are enemies!"
Tu Hulu shouted loudly. There was no fear in his voice, but excitement. Tu Hulu said in his heart: My dear, you are finally here.
Song Sheng sat on his horse, glanced at Chu Yang, and said in a low voice: "Let them send the front army over, Shenji Camp Fire Gun Soldiers, line up!"
Xu Kai commanded the Shenji Battalion, and groups of sergeants took out the latest firecrackers, which made a clattering sound and were aimed at the cavalry in the distance. Yuan Yue and Liu Qixia led the cavalry, divided into more than a dozen columns, ready to rush out at any time.
The two armies faced each other at one end of the valley.
When Karachi heard the news of the Ming army's appearance, he and Asuliang quickly arrived in front of the military formation. Seeing that there were only five or six thousand Ming infantry in the distance, they couldn't help but feel a little angry. How dare such a small number of people come out to stop them?
court death!
Also, are the people of the Ming Dynasty too stupid? If they were ambushing in the canyon, relying on the terrain, they might be able to count on the infantry to stop the cavalry. But these people are not smart enough to actually be outside the canyon. Deploy troops every mile!
Your cavalry is about to pass through the canyon. What's the point of arraying in front of you?
Karachi decided to teach the Ming Dynasty a profound lesson and ordered Asuliang to charge with five thousand elite cavalry. At the same time, he ordered the follow-up army to quickly pass through the canyon and outflank the Ming army in front from the left and right wings!
Asuliang pointed at the Ming army in the distance and said with a smile: "This is the strength of the Ming Dynasty, the so-called fire gun? Brothers, don't be afraid. The power of the Ming Dynasty's fire gun is very weak. It can barely hurt a horse at fifty steps." That’s it, come with me and kill them all!”
"kill!"
Tu Hulu and other thousands of cavalry received the military order, patted their horses and rushed forward.
Liu Qixia put down the telescope and said to Song Sheng: "The brothers on the hillside have raised the flag. All 15,000 cavalry have passed the narrowest part of the canyon, and we can start."
Song Sheng also saw the flag raised on the top of the mountain, with a cold smile on his lips, and said: "The soldiers of the Shenji Camp said that you should open your mouth when listening to the sound. Although we don't understand, we still listen to them. Wave the flag and get ready.”
When the order is issued, the sun and moon flags are waved twice.
On the mountains on the left and right, countless grass and branches moved freely without wind. Ming sergeants wearing "grass clothes" and "twigs" climbed up one by one.
Mountains on the right.
Lin Jiu, Wang Baozi, Zhao Yu, and Li Chengcai were in charge of the Zunshen cannon.
Wang Baozi held a gunpowder bomb as big as a human head in his hand, and there was already a gunpowder bomb in the barrel.
Lin Jiu gave a thumbs up and looked at the enemy formation in front. Seeing that there was not much deviation from what he expected, he said to Wang Baozi, Zhao Yu and Li Chengcai: "These days are so frustrating. The territory we finally conquered is all damned." has been taken away, the general said we need to show weakness to others, you think we have this magical machine gun, we still need to show weakness, can we show weakness?"
Li Chengcai rolled his eyes at Lin Jiu, moved a box of gunpowder over, and said, "What do you know about pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger? Harry has brought so many cavalry, and if we don't show weakness, how can we let them fall into the trap?" Come? If they really run away on horseback, you drag the divine machine cannon to chase them?"
"What are you fighting for? I didn't see that the enemy on the other side has discovered us."
The king blew the fire tune.
After Zhao Yu checked the divine machine cannon, he signaled Li Chengcai to hide aside. A group of skilled operators had forgotten the rules when they arrived on the battlefield. Now when the divine machine cannon is fired, the backlash can kill someone.
Karachi felt the movement on both sides and quickly put the cavalry on alert. But the Ming ambush troops on both sides didn't seem to have any intention of rushing over. It seemed like these people were, um, chatting?
Just when Karachi was confused, the sun and moon flag behind Song Sheng waved again, and then pressed towards the charging cavalry.
"ignition!"
Countless Zhao Yus shouted out almost at the same time!
The fuse will light up!
boom!
The world was shaken!
From the mountains on the left and right, and at the foot of the mountains below, black iron balls flew into the air!
The gunman looked at the approaching cavalry. Following Song Sheng's order, the gunman pulled the trigger from a distance of 150 steps. The flint collided and the fire ignited the gunpowder in the gunpowder room. It burned instantly, and powerful energy was accumulated in an instant. The energy spurted out, rolling the lead pieces away from the gun tube at extremely fast speeds!
The speed of the lead is very fast, and it only takes a breath to cover one hundred and fifty steps!
The sound of gunfire had just ended in my ears, and dozens of cavalrymen who were charging had already fallen off their horses. The fire gun soldiers did not panic. After the first three rows fired a volley, they squatted down to assemble the gunpowder. The fire gun soldiers in the back three rows were divided into high, middle and middle lower positions and pressed the trigger towards the cavalry who continued to charge!
After the three rows at the back finished firing, the gunmen in the three rows in front skillfully opened the gunpowder chamber, took out a small packet of gunpowder from the pouch on their waist and stuffed it in. Then they took out the lead, poured it into the gun tube, and prepared it again. OK shooting.
With the continuous improvement of fire blunderbuss, especially the application of flint, gunpowder rationing, lead rationing, etc., the sergeants of the Shenji Battalion no longer need to use the three-line tactics that seem to be extremely wise but are actually full of helplessness. They can completely use the two-line tactics. To form a perfect firepower connection!
When the second round of gunmen pressed the trigger and the lead flew out, the gunpowder shells of the divine machine gun that had flown for nearly two miles finally fell!
Rumble——
In just an instant, the battlefield turned into a hell on earth.
Karachi thought it was the Ming Dynasty's returning artillery, but what came flying was nothing but stones, but the tragic reality told him that the Ming Dynasty did not have the returning artillery, but had another more mysterious, more powerful, and more terrifying weapon:
Godly cannon!
Improvements one after another gave the divine machine gun devastating combat power. Countless dead souls in the multi-state city of Cochin became the first tourists to witness the divine machine cannon.
Now, Karachi is here. Although he did not buy a ticket or pay any money, Ming Dynasty still gave him a chance to visit the divine machine gun. It’s just that Daming has no intention of letting him write his review...
