Chapter 220 Barbed Wire Fence
Different from the previous Mongolian cavalry raids on the border towns of the Ming Dynasty, this time the Mongolian cavalry led by Wuliang Hadah attacked Wuhai City not because Wuhai City was easy to break, but because Wuhai City had gathered too many Mongolian fugitives. slave.
"The Ming Dynasty turned our slaves into their herdsmen. This was intended to destroy us, Wu Liangha. After this sneak attack into Wuhai City, no one was left alive, no matter Mongolian or Han!
This young master (Wuliangha was originally one of the three guardsmen who surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, so he is not called the king here) wants to show those escaped slaves that on the grassland, our golden family’s world is still ours, and they can only become subordinates. Our golden family! Even if Ming Dynasty can accept them, they can't escape the punishment of betraying the Golden Family! ”
Da Ha Cema appeared outside Wuhai City. Looking at Wuhai City shining like a bright pearl on the grassland in the night, what he thought of was not how to appreciate this new city on the grassland, but how to destroy it and turn it into a new city. Become pastureland again.
"Master Daha, please think twice. If you and your father Hua Dang want to achieve hegemony in the future, take control of the Central Plains, rebuild our prosperous Yuan Dynasty, and seize the picturesque rivers and mountains in the pass, they must be gentle and gentle. Whether these people are Mongolian or Han , although they are lowly, they are also the foundation for your future struggle for the world, and it will be disadvantageous to kill them!”
Because Zhu Houzhao was too cruel to civil servants in the early days of his accession to the throne, some civil servants with dissident intentions embarked on the path of supporting careerists and plotting to rebuild the dynasty.
At this time, Xi Yi, a Han Chinese who had been outside the Great Wall for several years and became a guest at Daha, was one of these literati. He was originally a disciple of Xie Qian, but because he had long expected that the emperor would severely punish his mentor, he fled north to the Great Wall. However, he was kidnapped by Daha by chance. In the end, he began to betray the Ming Dynasty, deceiving Hua Dang, the leader of Wu Liang Ha, into becoming the enemy of the Ming Dynasty, and gradually incited Hua Dang and other Wu Liang Ha nobles to destroy the Ming Dynasty.
Because under the deception of Han scum literati like Xi Yi, Hua Dang and other Uliangha nobles really thought that the Ming Dynasty was seriously ill, and that Zhu Houzhao was a tyrant who made people angry and resented, so that the Ming Dynasty was about to fall. In addition, Xi Yi's concern for the beautiful rivers and mountains in the pass Vivid depictions of flowers and flowers waiting for Uliang Hamon The Yuan Dynasty's original desire for the splendid mountains and rivers of the Central Plains made Hua Dang and other Wuliangha nobles easily deceived. Even though they did not believe in their hearts that the Ming Dynasty could be eliminated by themselves, they were still willing to fantasize and ridicule them. It's better for such Han scum to fool around and fantasize.
As the son of Hua Dang, Daha was younger than Hua Dang and naturally had more unrealistic ambitions. Therefore, after hearing what Xi Yi said, he said: "Then chop to death everyone who is higher than the wheel! Han!”
Seeing this, Xi Yi had nothing to say and knew that he could no longer persuade him.
"Come in! Hack down all those who are taller than the wheel! Women can be raped first and then killed, and the property inside belongs to you! I, the warriors of Wuliangha!"
Daha drew his sword and shouted.
Immediately, these Wuliangha Mongolian cavalry rushed towards Wuhai City like chicken blood. Like the Mongolian cavalry in the 13th century, they only knew about looting and were excited by looting. And high morale.
These Wuliangha cavalry rushed over quickly, their horses neighing, and their men also roaring. The whole earth seemed to be shaking. They were like a scourge, trying to devour everything in Wuhai City.
Bang bang bang!
A violent impact!
These Uliangha cavalry violently hit the barbed wire fence outside Wuhai City!
When the galloping horses rushed down with thunderous momentum, Wu Liangha's cavalry never expected that the Ming Dynasty would install a barbed wire fence outside Wuhai City!
Because of this, after the Ulyanha cavalry collided with the barbed wire at high speed, some Ulyanha cavalry were directly dismembered into pieces!
And some of Wu Liangha's cavalry were directly thrown to the ground, and they and their horses were bleeding!
Bah!
Ding ding! The barbed wire fence rang loudly due to the impact, and even the copper bells attached to the barbed wire fence made a loud sound, which alerted the soldiers and civilians of Wuhai City.
The nobleman Daha of Uliangha was very angry when he saw the hundreds of dead Mongolian cavalry corpses under the barbed wire in front. He did not expect that the Han people would actually make such thin wires to form a barbed wire fence, and even there were barbs and copper bells on the wires.
Daha knew that this meant that his plan to attack Wuhai City failed!
He also knew that the Ming army was not weak in combat power, and his attack on Wuhai City would definitely be successful, so he chose to sneak attack at night, and the bright light of Wuhai City also gave his cavalry the conditions for a night attack.
But Daha never expected that the Ming army would lay a barbed wire fence outside the city! He didn't even expect that Daming would pull out such a barbed wire fence!
Because of this, after Daha knew that his plan to attack Wuhai City failed, he simply sent someone to negotiate with the Ming Dynasty and asked the Ming Dynasty to return the escaped slaves in Wuhai City to him.
……
At this time, Zhang Cong, the governor of Hetao, said angrily and quickly sent people to Yulin City to inform the commander-in-chief Yang Yiqing about Daha leading the troops to attack Wuhai City. At the same time, he personally led his Fubiao Battalion there. Coming from the Wuhai city wall.
at the same time.
Zhang Cong replied: "The main force of the third division has just set off for the manhole. Wuhai Mansion is not well defended at the moment. These Tartars came at the right time. According to the old method, the Chinese-conformed barbarians were given crossbows, horses and sabers. Tell them that Wuliangha wants to take them back and continue to be slaves. Now that Wuhai City has insufficient troops, I will give them a chance to drive away the bandits themselves. All those who died in the battle will be compensated fifty taels! "
< br>
Therefore, the Wuhai City guard who received the order began to go outside the city, preparing to mobilize the refugees outside Wuhai City.
Wuhai City has been built for two years. Although the inner and outer cities are built with cement and concrete, due to the rapid population expansion in Wuhai area in recent years, there are still many people living in the outer city surrounding the city. They are all newly migrated Hu people, and they are spontaneous The refugees who come to Wuhai City to make a living are not considered residents of Wuhai City.
But the Ming Dynasty officials in Wuhai City naturally could not ignore these refugees. After all, these people numbered in the tens of thousands. If they were not managed, they would easily cause trouble, and they could not be driven away. If they were driven away, many mining industries in the city would not be able to sustain themselves.
Therefore, in Wuhai City, the Ming government also used iron wire to form a barbed wire fence, opening only at the official road, and built watchtowers and fortresses here to prevent the refugees living outside the city from being harassed, and at the same time to facilitate management. .
Many times, people use the outer gate composed of barbed wire as the outer gate of Wuhai City.
Iron wire is a high-tech product resulting from the advancement of the Ordnance Bureau's steel smelting technology in recent years. This mechanized metal drawing process originally appeared in England in the 14th century, and has now been improved into barbed iron wire by the Ming Dynasty Ordnance Bureau.
Historically, barbed wire was not invented by Americans until the mid-19th century, and has been called one of the seven most important inventions in human history by modern scientists.
Because of the barbed wire, the defense capabilities of the Ming army were enhanced.
As a result, the nomads' difficulties in sneak attacks have greatly increased.
