Ming Dynasty fake eunuch

Chapter 128 Trap
Drilling wood to make fire is the most primitive method for human beings to collect fire. Later, fire tools such as flint and fire were gradually developed.

It can be said that before the Song Dynasty, the technological level of the Han people was world-leading.

However, after the West introduced the advanced technology of the Han people, it was able to carry it forward. This cannot be said to be sad. At the same time, it must be admitted that the intelligence of the Westerners, especially in the manufacture and use of firearms, has left their ancestors behind by a whole year. era.

Closer to home, due to the sudden arrival of Nurhachi, the foreign devils Andis and Piero have not succeeded in refining wrought iron. It is not that their technology is not good, but that there are too many limiting factors. The most important point is the quality of materials. shortage.

However, these two guys are not idle. In order to prove that they are not free food, after Ye Xun put forward the theory of friction and fire, the two people actually improved the detonating device of the landmine.

Since firearms have been used on a large scale in warfare, landmines are no longer high-tech, but the landmines at this time obviously cannot be compared with the trigger type of later generations, and someone must be ignited with a fuze.

Through the idea provided by Ye Xun, these two foreign devils changed the open flame fuze to detonate by friction. This is not counted. Once these fuzes are ignited, it is not only landmines that detonate, but also chemical weapons that Ye Xun has always regarded as a military secret. .

What Huang Taiji and the others smelled just now was the smell of the drug that had overwhelmed them before, and what ignited the fuze was the flagpole with the words "Nurhachi died here".

The bottom of the flagpole is made of fine iron, so that when it is pulled out forcefully, sparks will be generated due to friction.

"Father, the eunuchs have played tricks again, everyone should cover their mouths and noses immediately, and don't inhale the poisonous gas."

The possibility that Ye Xun would use chemical weapons was also anticipated by Nurhachi and his subordinates, so before Huang Taiji could finish shouting, everyone including Nurhachi had consciously covered their mouths and noses.

This time Nurhachi was well-prepared. The cloth used to cover his mouth and nose had been washed with water in advance, and the shaman had been asked to cast spells. It was absolutely foolproof.

But Ye Xun's methods obviously didn't stop there. The Jurchen army hadn't finished wearing their masks, and the landmines under their feet finally showed their power.

"Boom, boom"

Shocking explosions rang out one after another in the Jurchen army, and the first to bear the brunt was the Jurchen elite at the forefront.

This has always been the case in Jurchen wars. The Jurchen soldiers lead the way to attack the fortifications, and the servants follow behind to take advantage of the fire.

Amidst the rumbling explosions, the forward battalion including Nurhachi was soon shrouded in thick smoke, and the casualties could not be seen clearly. Anyway, Nurhachi's banner was invisible.

In fact, the Jurchen army was no stranger to the weapon of landmines during the confrontation with the Ming army. They just didn't expect Ye Xun to bury the landmines so far and so many.

The explosion was still going on, but the Jurchen army in front was in a mess. At this time, Eyi, who had already rushed to the bunker, was also stunned by the explosion behind him. Looking at the chaotic scene behind him, he couldn't believe it for a while. When did the Ming army have such powerful weapons?

Without the support from the rear, what's the use of being so brave?

Just when Eyi was hesitating whether to withdraw or not, a steed suddenly flew out of the billowing smoke, and the knight was so smoked that he couldn't see his original appearance.

I saw the knight suddenly pulled out a machete while galloping, and made a slashing motion towards his forehead.

"It's Huang Taiji!"

E also knew this movement and the scimitar, and he was also a battle-tested veteran, so he knew not to mess around at this time, otherwise Ye Xun would definitely take advantage of it.

Thinking of this, E also turned his horse's head, ready to direct his men to deal with the enemy, but this seemingly short time was undoubtedly fatal on the battlefield.

With the sound of explosions here, E Yidu's attacking team stopped and turned around to look around.

Behind the earth wall on the other side of the bunker, countless human heads suddenly appeared, and then there was a crisp sound of clappers.

"Buzz!"

It seemed that after a huge roar, the sky went dark, followed by countless screams.

Looking at the Zhenghuangqi elite led by E Yidu, hundreds of people fell off in a blink of an eye, and even E Yidu was shot with a few arrows, and this was just the beginning.

The Han people focused on defense, especially in Liaodong, where wars were frequent, and the soldiers and civilians in the cities and towns of the Ming Dynasty used this skill to the extreme.

After the first round of strikes, all kinds of firearms, such as crossbow arrows, fire system, thunderbolt, and divine fire flying duck, began to play freely.

The sound of the explosion was accompanied by screams, and the periphery of the earth castle quickly became a hell on earth, but this time it was the Jurchen who died.

In fact, Ye Xun himself didn't expect such a result. He was ready for a bloody battle, but he didn't expect that Jurchen couldn't even pass the first line of defense because of his own arrangements. , he prepared more cavalry on the periphery.

Thinking of this, Ye Xun couldn't help secretly angry, Jin Taiji is such a good-for-nothing, you can't grasp such a good opportunity, you deserve to be wiped out by the old slave, if you keep being a coward in this battle, I will be wiped out first that day you.

Unlike the purgatory on earth outside the earthen castle, the Tieling city is already a sea of ​​cheers.

With Eunuch Ye here, there is no need to be afraid of Jiannu anymore. Now that Eunuch Ye has already killed Jiannu before he makes a move, how can we not be excited?
Xu Hongru, who was standing on the top of the wall watching the battle, frowned slightly. Although he also hoped that Ye Xun would win, he did not expect Ye Xun to win so easily. Combined with the recent experience of dealing with Ye Xun, Xu Hongru knew that he had to formulate a new plan to approach Xiao Xun. The eunuch's strategy is gone.

At this time, another change took place on the battlefield.

When the mines were finally blown up, the earth castle fired without reservation, and the arrows and ammunition were quickly used up.

Ye Xun waved his hand and ordered the archers to retreat.

Ye Xun knew that the actual damage to Jurchen in the first battle would not be great. After all, the power of landmines in this era is so important. The important thing is to blow Nurhachi's confidence, but I don't know if the old guy was killed.

The overall damage to the Jurchen army in the rear was indeed small, but there were not many Zhenghuangqi elites led by E Yidu, because the blow came so suddenly that he was not given a chance to react.

Huang Taiji, who had been smoked like an African chicken, stared blankly at the corpses of the yellow flag soldiers in front of him, and didn't recover for a long time.

How did it become like this?How did it happen?
Countless questions lingered in Huang Taiji's mind, but there was still no answer.

As the smoke caused by the landmines gradually dissipated, the outline of the Jurchen army gradually became clear.

Looking up, there were screaming Jurchen soldiers everywhere, and the formation had already been scattered. Looking at Nurhachi's original position, he saw a group of people lying on the ground. After a while, someone finally moved, and then they all stood staggeringly. Get up, and among them is Nurhachi, who is covered in dust and blood.

It turns out that in the battle with the Ming army, the Jurchens also learned how to best reduce the damage they suffered during the explosion, that is, lying down.

So when the explosion sounded, Nurhachi was the first to jump from his horse to the ground, and his horse was killed by the explosion.

The other Jurchen executives who were not killed also had the same number.

Seeing the mess all over the place, Nurhachi, who had come to his senses, couldn't help but angrily "poof!" and spurted out a mouthful of blood, and fell backwards.

"Father Khan!"

"Khan! Come quickly, escort."

Nurhachi could see Ye Xun just now, and the situation of Nurhachi at this moment naturally fell into Ye Xun's eyes.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

"Nurhachi! Don't be afraid, I'm coming."

Following the sound of people, Ye Xun jumped up like a big bird, and rushed towards the direction where Nurhachi fell to the ground.
