Snowflakes fell, one after another, slowly covering the earth, spreading a white blanket.
Come on!
A big foot wrinkled the snow blanket, and he staggered a few steps. Drops of blood fell, like fire, burning black holes on the white blanket.
The sergeant supported his body with a long gun and looked at the countless corpses around him, his eyes filled with blood and tears.
Dead, all dead!
They have traveled thousands of miles and killed powerful enemies one after another for the Sudan, leaving lingering nightmares for countless countries and their people!
But now, they are dead.
Death is not terrible, ***Allah will surely redeem them. However, the Sultan's military order has not yet been completed, and the Ming Dynasty's military formation has not yet been opened. The camel city in front of them is like a huge turtle shell that cannot be broken!
"I'm still alive and I want to move forward!"
The sergeant pulled out the arrow from his shoulder, threw it on the snow, and rushed toward Camel City with his spear in hand. The pace was slow and the wound hurt, but he still moved forward persistently. An arrow flew over and shot into the sergeant's thigh.
Before the sergeant fell, two more arrows shot into his chest!
The snow is coming one after another, as if it wants to repair the torn white blanket, very patiently and tirelessly.
The battle lasted from morning to night, but Timur's sergeants still did not shake Camel City. Countless sergeants and horses lay on the cold wasteland, and the snow turned white bit by bit.
Because of the heavy snow, the night did not appear dark.
Timur stood in the wind and snow, his face gloomy to the extreme. ***, Shaharu, and Miransha, without exception, were all blocked by the Ming Dynasty from the camel city.
The Ming Dynasty's strategy is almost unsolvable. Once the army charges forward, the Ming Dynasty will rely on the camel city to hit hard with spears and firearms. The sergeants in the mid-range will be covered by crossbows and bows. Those in the long range will be covered by crossbows and arrows. Encountered an overwhelming amount of firearms!
No matter how elite the troops are, no matter how powerful the sergeants are, it will be difficult for them to withstand these three rounds of attacks. Even if the front army is brave and someone can climb through Camel City, they will be surrounded and killed by Ming sergeants because of insufficient successors and no one to support them!
On this day alone, more than 36,000 Tamerlane soldiers died outside Tuocheng. The tragic war made people feel palpitating and uneasy.
Timur didn't know when the Ming Dynasty's firearms would be exhausted, and he didn't know when the Ming Dynasty's arrows would be exhausted, but he knew very well that if the war continued like this, his army would inevitably collapse.
The deadlock must be broken!
Timur discussed with Musun and others and ordered the army craftsmen to build the cannon overnight.
At first, Tamerlane never thought of using the return cannon, which is a siege weapon used in fortified battles. The Ming Dynasty's military formations were deployed on the grassland. Who would have thought that they built a low and indestructible city out of thin air?
The construction of the returning cannon requires a large amount of wood and stones as throwing objects, and these things cannot be made in one or two hours. Timur sent a
Wanduo sergeants followed the craftsmen into the Tianshan Mountains, but were forcibly driven out of the mountains and forests by eight hundred scouts of the Ming Dynasty.
The camouflage of the scouts and jungle warfare can be said to be the strongest in this era. In addition, the Timurid sergeants and craftsmen had no intention of fighting. They thought that the Ming Dynasty had ambushed a large number of troops in the mountains. After encountering rounds of sudden battles, , after leaving a thousand corpses behind, they retreated in a hurry. Suo Jing captured more than 600 craftsmen and was not polite. He sent people directly to Song Sheng, who was short of people to work.
Timur looked in the direction of Tianshan Mountain, full of sadness.
The Huihui artillery had not been built, and he had no way to send sergeants to fight deep into the mountains and forests. The cavalry was not conducive there, and his own people were no match for the Ming Dynasty sergeants in terms of foot combat and mountain and forest warfare. Keren's wisdom is immeasurable. Large-scale return cannons were not manufactured, but Timur's craftsmen tore down all the wood in the camp and built eighteen small return cannons.
There are no stones, but there are still corpses and heads?
Timur ordered the small returning artillery to be thrown into the Chinese army, and used his last secret weapon.
Both *** and Gesuyedin knew that if they could not open the Ming Dynasty's camel city and break through, the army would no longer have the strength to move forward! And a failed retreat will be unbearable pain for everyone!
The Communist Party arranged for Gesuyedin to personally lead a charge of 10,000 sergeants, and ordered 5,000 sergeants to clear the road afterwards. At the same time, he invested 2,000 heavy armored cavalry, ready to charge at any time.
The horn of charge sounded, and Gesuyedin issued death orders to Maneza, Yilin and other generals!
This is a battle of life and death, a battle leading to death step by step!
But the sacrifice of all of you is not falling to hell, but ascending to heaven. God is waiting for you, and the Sultan is blessing you.
kill!
Gesuyeddin charged with 10,000 cavalry. The horses kept trampling on the dead sergeants. Some of the horses became unstable and fell down. Some of the horses kept jumping, causing the cavalry to trip and fall halfway.
The cavalry turned into infantry halfway, charging forward frantically with shields and lances in hand.
In Camel City.
Zhu Di rubbed his cold hands and said to Song Sheng, Xu Huizu and others who came over: "It is certain that Timur will not be able to hold on for long. One day's battle damage has already reduced his strength by nearly 30%. If we fight again If you repel his attacks two to four times, you will definitely be able to turn your defense into an attack."
Xu Huizu nodded solemnly: "Sergeant Timur is really brave, and their spirit of not fearing death is amazing. If it weren't for this camel city, it would be almost impossible for us to win against Timur on this unobstructed plain. Yes, even with firearms!"
Song Sheng sniffed his nose vigorously and felt a little stuffy: "Although firearms can kill countless people, they are still not powerful enough in the face of Sergeant Timur's charge. Crouching tiger cannon, grenades, and mines are not magic cannons after all, General , how long do you plan to hide the divine machine cannon?"
Zhu Di shook his head, looked at the heavy snow flying outside, and said in a deep voice: "The divine machine cannon is our last resort. We cannot use it until we are sure that Timur is within range and we have not found Timur's position."
Although Fu An, Guo Ji, Karachi and others provided Timur's appearance and characteristics, the Ming army still had no good chance. <
;/p>
Several times, Ming sergeants discovered Timur through telescopes, but Timur did not penetrate deep into the range of the divine machine cannon. In addition, the west wind blew from time to time, so the maximum range of the divine machine gun from five miles had to be revised to four and a half miles. Even four miles.
Zhu Di knew that Timur had gone deep into the battle formation. The captured sergeant had said that Timur followed him with his troops.
But Timur was extremely cunning. He did not reveal his whereabouts. Even his clothes were almost the same as those of a sergeant. He could easily hide in the army, which made it more difficult for the Ming army to find him. In addition, On a snowy day, the field of view was not good, and it was impossible to determine Timur's specific location.
As the last bargaining chip of the Ming Dynasty, the Divine Machine Cannon is the most powerful, longest-range and most unexpected weapon. It should not be used on small soldiers and generals, but should be given to Timur. Only in this way can Sergeant Timur be truly destroyed and let the This huge corps has completely lost its combat effectiveness!
Yang Rong walked into the tent and stamped his feet: "The weather is getting colder and colder. Timur's sergeants didn't know how to rest and launched another attack. This time should be their last act of madness. I think When it comes to the Hui Hui Pao, it’s a small one, and I’m afraid I’ll take out everything at the bottom of the box.”
The corner of Zhu Di's mouth trembled. With such battle damage, such a cold night, and such heavy snow, Timur did not know how to care about the sergeant. He actually fought during the day and continued to fight at night. After a group of people died, another group was sent.
Zhou Dazhi ran in and said quickly: "Timur has invested a lot of troops in this attack, at least ten thousand people!"
Zhu Di frowned and asked, "How many gunpowder shells are left in the Tiger Crouching Cannon?"
Zhou Dazhi said worriedly: "There are not many left. There are only about twenty rounds left for each Tiger Crouching Cannon. Counting the craftsmen of the Second Artillery Bureau who are rushing to make them, I am afraid it will not exceed thirty. The amount used in this day" There are just too many.”
Zhu Di said majestically: "No matter what, we cannot let Timur see through our reality and let me use it. Even if it is all gone, I must take this round back!"
Zhou Dazhi was worried. If they were used up, the Crouching Tiger Cannon would become a display, and it would be a bit difficult to deal with Timur's cavalry.
Yang Rong agreed with Zhu Di: "We must persist through this round and give Timur and his sergeants an understanding that the Ming Dynasty's gunpowder ammunition is inexhaustible! Only in this way can he be careful about his The sergeants will also be afraid! We must hold on to this breath!"
Zhou Dazhi looked at Yang Rong and moved the corners of his mouth. Although he didn't say it out loud, his doubts were obvious.
Yang Rong waved his hand and said solemnly: "Listen to the general, even if all the gunpowder bombs are destroyed, it doesn't matter. Take out all the stones that are holding down the camp and smash them, and use the broken stones as cannonballs! Timur's The army cannot stay here forever. Once the snow stops, the weather will be even colder and his sergeants will not be able to bear it. If we persist tonight, we will win!"
Zhou Dazhi heard what Yang Rong said, saw Zhu Di nodded, and turned around to make arrangements.
Zhu Di looked at Song Sheng and Xu Huizu: "Go and guard the two wings. Our counterattack will come soon. Let the sergeants hold on!"
Song Sheng and Xu Huizu took the order and left.
Zhu Di ordered people to call in the chief governors Wang Jingzhang, Chen Qia and Chen Jun, and specially called Yang Fenghuo over. He said to several people: "Now the sergeants are fighting continuously, there is heavy snow and westerly wind, the weather is cold and the ground is freezing, the sergeants are very nervous." Tired and difficult.
You must tell all the sergeants that the enemy is far more difficult than us. They have lost their troops and will not be able to hold on much longer! Let our soldiers endure and fight, we will definitely defeat Timur, and I will take them back to the capital to enjoy the supreme honor! "
As the military governors, Wang Jingzhang and others naturally set an example. If the sergeants did not eat, they would not eat. When the sergeants were on duty and fighting in Tuocheng, they would also patrol and supervise.
No governor would hide in a military tent and enjoy peace and quiet.
Not to mention that the governor and the sergeant live and die together, at least they really share the joys and sorrows, which is also a way to maintain military morale.
Wang Jingzhang agreed: "General, please rest assured, the morale of the army is stable and the morale is as high as rainbow. Although it is cold and snowy, the sergeants are very confident of victory, and they will definitely persevere!"
Zhu Di nodded heavily and looked at Yang Fenghuo: "Follow Yang Rong and be responsible for boosting the morale of the front army!"
Yang Fenghuo was stunned for a moment. The former army was the most important area. He was just a small governor. The general actually asked him to take charge?
"What, you can't do it?"
Zhu Di raised his eyebrows slightly.
Yang Fenghuo responded quickly: "Yes!"
Zhu Di looked deeply at Yang Fenghuo. Although this man did not have much education, he was really good at inspiring the soldiers. In addition, he was a sergeant himself and knew a lot about the psychology and thoughts of the sergeants. It was okay to give him this important task. Relieved.
Yang Rong walked towards Yang Fenghuo and said with a smile: "Since we are partners, then come with me. The battlefield is changing rapidly, and we cannot stay here forever."
