Chapter 181 The Roar of the Dragon
A brilliant brilliance hung straight into the sky like a silver chain. Zhang Tianci, who was in the upper reaches of the Chaobai River, kept raising his head and looking at the sky downstream. He finally waited for this moment.
Zhang Tianci immediately shouted: "Light the fire!"
The fifty-person demolition team quickly arrived at the predetermined location, ignited the already buried explosive fuses, and then hurriedly retreated to both sides. On the shore, everyone was nervously paying attention to the explosives they had set off.
If there is a problem with the piece they are responsible for, they have to rush to the predetermined blasting point with the explosive bag to manually blast it. But in this case, they will have no way to survive and will be blown to pieces. , and then be swept away again, as if it had never appeared in this world.
So at this time, everyone's emotions were extremely tense and exciting. They were all worried that the area they were responsible for blasting was not done well.
Then, while everyone was nervously staring at the condition of the river embankment, a sound like a series of huge thunders, like the roar of an ancient beast sleeping underground that suddenly woke up, sounded on the embankment, and the whole earth followed. Trembling.
But the Tatar cavalry charging hard in the lower river turned a deaf ear, because at this moment, their perception had been completely obscured by the firepower of the Ming army on the opposite side, and all they could hear was the people around them. Noises and cries, and other sounds have no meaning to them.
The rushing river water that has accumulated for several days is as powerful as thunder, and the turbulent waves are rolling up the shore, like a white dragon protruding from the bottom of the water, with endless waves, unparalleled momentum Rushing towards the downstream river.
At the same time, Zhu Zaijing, who was walking slowly forward, also saw the silver chain above the Lantern Festival in the sky, and Zhu Zaijing's spirit suddenly lifted up.
"Here it comes!"
Zhu Zaijing's eyes burst with excitement that he had never seen before.
Teng Xiang on the side also excitedly reminded Zhu Zaijing: "Commander, it's a signal arrow!"
Zhu Zaijing snorted, "I know!"
Then Zhu Zaijing turned around and shouted to the more than 6,000 elite cavalry behind him: "Brothers, the opportunity to kill the enemy has come again! You must tie the knife to the palm of your hand, even if your head falls off Don’t throw away the sword! We want these Tatar bandits to see how powerful we Han people are! From now on, the offense and defense will change. Wherever the bandits go, I can go too!”
Zhu Zaijing's words immediately ignited everyone's excitement. They all raised their swords and responded to Zhu Zaijing's words with great momentum, shouting: "We must win! We must win! We must win!"
Zhu Zaijing pulled out the long knife hanging on the horse's back, and then pulled out a red cloth strip and tied the handle of the knife tightly in his palm. Teng Xiang and everyone else followed suit.
They all know how important this battle is and how tough it is!
In the past, they followed Zhu Zaijing to take advantage of the terrain or firearms to conduct surprise ambushes or sneak attacks on these Tatar bandits.
But this time it is really different. They are going to pierce the body of the Tatar bandit like a steel knife, and there is no help except them. The power is the knife in your hand.
Therefore, this time they can only use their bravest spirit and most senseless momentum, hold the long sword in their hands, and fight their way to the sky!
We also carve out a road to hell that will make the Tatar thieves tremble, and let them know that the most powerful cavalry in this world is not the Tatars, but the Ming Dynasty!
Ada, who was holding the battle at the rear of the Chinese army, looked extremely solemn at the moment. He never dreamed that the Ming army in Chaobai River would be so tenacious, and their artillery really seemed to be free of charge. Even after so long, they were still being thrown or fired at their charging team like dumplings.
The flickering firelight feels like a death-inducing light. Anyone who touches this light will be taken away by death.
At this time, An Da could not help but feel a little hesitation in his heart. He seemed to really regret this action.
He originally thought that no matter how strong the guards of the Ming capital were, they would not be much stronger than Xuanda, but his experiences along the way also told him that the Ming army in the capital was different from Xuanda. Their firearms were even more powerful, and their numbers were unparalleled by the Xuan Daming Army. Every time they came into contact with the Ming Army fighting in the suburbs of Beijing, the first thing they felt was the endless, seemingly endless artillery fire of the Ming Army.
Such a weapon disparity also made Ada feel a sense of powerlessness deep in his heart.
He was afraid that one day even the front lines of Xuanda University would be equipped with such a large number of firearms and explosives.
If such a day comes, then the end of the grassland is not far away.
The glory of Genghis Khan will never return, and they will completely become vassals of the Han people, living forever in the depths of the extremely miserable Mobei grasslands, and will no longer have any contact with the prosperous world.
So, I know this battle very well in my heart, that is, I must win!
Then they used this victory to coerce the Ming Dynasty to open mutual trade with them, so that they could have a long future and a stable life.
Otherwise, they will fall into the endless abyss of darkness.
“Send an order to the front army to capture the Ming army’s position in Chaobai River at any cost!”
An Da issued another fatal order, requiring the attacking front army to attack the Ming army's position on the other side at all costs. Even if it is difficult to attack from the river, they must charge without fear of death!
As long as they rush up to the river and kill all the Ming troops on the river bank, this fierce battle will end. Otherwise, God knows how many artillery bombs these condescending Ming troops will fire at the cavalry in the river. Throw and blast.
Not long after Anda's order was issued, the Tatar cavalry who were charging the river were also horrified to discover a danger that caught them even more unprepared!
If the Ming army's artillery fire on the other side is dangerous, but the artillery fire may not necessarily fall directly on them and blow them to pieces, they still have hope to brave the thunderous artillery fire towards the Ming army's defense line. attack.
But the sudden appearance of a thundering "dragon" left them with nowhere to hide!
"Water!"
"It's water!!"
"The flood is coming!!!"
The Tatar cavalry who were charging the river bank suddenly discovered that they were rushing down the upper reaches. The giant white dragon suddenly turned pale with fright.
They never dreamed that during the dry season, why would such a majestic dragon appear on the dry Chaobai River? Is this the wrath of God?
The giant white dragon arrived in a flash with the sound of thunder. When they tried to rush out of the river in panic, they suddenly and desperately discovered that the river was not only wide, but the number of other cavalry gathered around them could not allow them to turn around. And escape.
Because there are many cavalrymen behind who are unaware of the situation and are rushing down the river one after another, trying to urge them to drive them to continue charging towards the opposite side in order to capture the Ming army's position.
So, despair blinded all hope at this moment. They were rushed down by the huge waves coming from the sky. They didn't even have time to utter a scream, and they were already carrying them with them. The horse disappeared in the Chaobai River and became a meal in the belly of the fish.
The Ming army defenders who were fighting hard on the river bank to kill the few Tatar cavalry front troops that had washed ashore saw this giant white dragon seeming to fall from the sky. Their morale was even higher. got up.
The knife in Huang Jin's hand was raised higher. Huang Jin shouted excitedly: "Kill these Tatar dogs! Drive them into the Chaobai River to feed the bastards! There are no new ones behind them. If the force charges our position again, these little miscellaneous fish that come over will die!”
A more cruel hand-to-hand combat was carried out passionately on the Ming army's position. Huang Jin took the remaining more than a thousand cavalry as mobile reinforcements and went along the river bank to kill the Tatar cavalry who had rushed up the river bank before, protecting them. With other firearms soldiers or bomb throwers responsible for suppressing the enemy in the river with fire.
