Chapter 113 Mine Array

Zhou Mengchen said: "General Ma, you don't need to make a military order. I believe you. This battle will be fought according to your ideas. However, you must remember that behind you is the food of millions of fellow villagers in Datong. It is the life of millions of Datong elders."

Ma Fang's breathing became heavy and she said, "I will understand."

Zhou Mengchen immediately adjusted the order.

In fact, there are not many adjustments. The entire Datong defense line is divided into three sections, with the West Road being the deputy general Ma Lu responsible for killing the city walls of Hukou, Datong Right Guard, and several other garrisons. The middle road is the gap that Ma Fang particularly emphasized, and is the general Ma Fang responsible for it. The East Road has made some adjustments, which was originally responsible for Zhou Tianyou.

Zhou Tianyou's mourning ended and he immediately recovered, plus Zhou Shangwen's elegance and the influence of Zhou Mengchen's lack of soldiers. In just a few months, he was listed as a general.

There are not many adjustments now, and Zhou Tianyou is still responsible for the battle. However, Cao Shizhong sent him to be Zhou Tianyou's deputy. His main task is to give full play to his advantages of Prince Dongning and find ways to find connections so that the Xuanfu army cannot sit idly by and watch the Tartars harassment, and not ask for most of the Xuanfu support, and at least assist Zhou Tianyou in consolidating the side wall close to the Xuanfu.

Moreover, all the commanders of the guards are not dead, but dynamic. They do not stick to the side walls. They just want to hold the Tartars within their own jurisdiction.

Ma Fang rode his horse again at noon that day.

The tactical adjustment of Datong Town took thirty-six hours, less than a day and a half, and the latter order was issued as a supplementary order to the previous order. After the previous battle, Boyan wanted to adjust his strategy, from sending a letter to Xin Ai's choice, to Xin Ai's decision, and finally this order came to Boyan again.

There were more than ten days before and after.

This is certainly because Datong is not far from the front line, and it can even be said to be far away, but Boyan's army outside the wall is a distance from Qingcheng. But more so, Zhou Mengchen's nerves have been tensed so hard that they cannot be tightened. If they are tightened, they will be broken.

Xin Ai and even Mongolia have always regarded this battle as a battle that concerns life and death. This rhythm is their ordinary rhythm.

Sometimes, the chance of victory or defeat is not only in the battle on the front line, but also in the speed of decision-making.

Three days later, Boyan received Xin Ai's order. Although he was not very satisfied with this order, he had strengthened the harassment of Datong. For a time, dozens of teams of Tartars moved south from each gap. However, Boyan did not expect that he would soon receive news of heavy casualties from various units.

Except for a few people who entered Datong Town through the gap in the side wall, many other troops were being bombarded by the Ming army through the side wall. Moreover, this kind of shelling came and went without a trace, and there was no idea where the cannon was fired. It was like a ghost.

Boyan was furious and scolded the following: "What a ghost or god, you have been engaged in teachings that the Ming army has fought for many years. Don't you know that the Ming army's firearms are powerful and cannot be just firearms, and what kind of ghost or god or not?

"General, what they said is true. Many people were killed by the bomb. I also checked it. It was a firearm that was killed. But within a few miles, I didn't find a shadow of the Ming army. Isn't this a ghost? Then what?" A Mongolian leader said tremblingly.

How can Boyan be satisfied if this is the case? Boyan was furious and pulled out the horse whip and beat the Mongolian leader hard. Then he decided that he would go and see the situation.

Soon, Boyan brought more than 10,000 cavalry to this pass.

This is actually not a pass, it is just a downed city wall, with deep trenches in front and behind, but half of them were filled by the wind and rain for many years, half were paved with gravel bricks poured down by the city wall, and the Taurus cavalry also entered and exited a lot. It seemed that a road was forcibly taken on this ruin.

When Boyan arrived here, he did not move forward recklessly. Instead, he asked, "Is it here?"

The Mongolian general behind him nodded immediately. Boyan escaped from the Qianlijing and looked at this distance carefully. Suddenly, his heart moved, called a guard and said, "You walk over and see a horizontal rope on the ground. Go and see what it is and take the thing for me."

"Yes." The guard agreed and walked over immediately.

He moved very extensively. He didn't look closely at all. He walked to the rope that seemed like a tripping rope, and was a little confused. The rope was too thin as a tripping rope, and the horse broke when kicked. However, he didn't think about it carefully. He grabbed it and started to retract the rope. But he pulled it hard, and the rope turned several turns, detonating the mine in the middle of the road. Then there was a roar. The guard fell down like a stone.

Now the landmines of the Ming army are all urgent.

The so-called power still needs to be strengthened. Therefore, this Tartar guard left a whole body without any bones.

Just when the guard died, the Tartar generals behind Boyan said one after another: "It's like this, there are no Ming army artillery around, so they die like this. Is it a curse of ghosts and gods?"

"God of immortality blesses."

"Why would you invite a shaman to do it?"

"What shaman should I invite? If you want to invite, please invite the living Buddha."

Now the power of the immortal heaven is gradually retreating on the grassland, and Tibetan Buddhism is replaced by it. It can be seen that the Mongolians actually believe in the theory of ghosts and gods more than the Han people, especially in many things that cannot be explained, all of which are classified as ghosts and gods.

"Okay." Boyan said: "What kind of ghosts and gods are just self-inflicted by the Vulcan machine. Zeng Xian has used it before. It's not a ghost or god or a ghost."

Boyan is still a person who knows the goods.

Landmines were actually not a rare thing in the Ming Dynasty. Before that, not only were they used in milling, but many people used them. However, generally speaking, these landmines always have defects of one kind or another. The biggest problem is how to ensure that the enemy can explode when passing by.

Generally speaking, fire-induced objects are hidden inside. When the enemy passes by, pull them to expose the dark fire.

However, the disadvantages of doing this are also very obvious. First, the dark fire is time-limited. After a long time, even the dark fire must be burned. You must dig it out again every once in a while and change it to the dark fire. Secondly, it is safety. If the dark fire is included, it is very likely that they will explode on their own.

There is also a production batch problem.

In fact, Zhou Mengchen's greatest contribution to the Daming Firearm was not to develop any firearm, but to form a detailed production document and production system. Before this, the Ming Dynasty's muskets were purely handmade. The production quality was not very good, and the production quantity could not be guaranteed.

Landmines are also considered to be something with high technical content here.

Generally, large-scale production is not produced. Moreover, their mass production is not the same as large-scale production under the military equipment supervision production system.

Therefore, this mine is also very expensive. It is rarely used for such blockade roads. It is more used when two armies fight or ambush the other side, and waits for the enemy to enter the ambush circle and detonate.

Boyan said: "Look for some Han slaves and asked them to dig up these things."

The Mongolian generals around Boyan were skeptical, but they still found some Han slaves to dig landmines.

Amid the explosions, there were soon results.

After all, landmines have not been used in large quantities these days, not only do they have no experience in facing the users, but they have no experience in the users. Therefore, the mines were buried in the locations. After killing a few people, the people below all found their experience.

So he slowly opened several mines and sent them to Boyan's hand. After Boyan asked someone to pour out the gunpowder, he took them apart and looked carefully. Finally, he finally discovered the key. It was a very delicate mechanism. With a gentle pull, Mars could be fired from the other end.

More importantly, Boyan put the parts removed from several mines together and looked at them. They were exactly the same. The one he couldn't tell was the one he had just seen. In an instant, he felt great pressure.

He couldn't tell where this pressure came from. He just felt that this exact ingenious mechanism represented a force.
