Chapter 721: Hongyi Cannon
"Wow!" Li Shiyu shouted to his war horse, clamping his feet hard, challenging Li Laiheng alone.
Li Laiheng smiled coldly, his war horse did not charge, he walked very leisurely with broken steps. Just as Li Shiyu was about to get closer, Li Laiheng's white horse suddenly took off, and Li Laiheng himself jumped up, and the sword in his hand once again arced and crossed the top of Li Shiyu's head. He sat firmly on the back of the white horse as he fell.
This is the second time that Lee Rae-hyung has used this trick. This time, Li Shiyu did not die, he returned to Dolgon's side, lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry for the imperial father regent, the last general is incompetent." ”
Blood dripped down the split scalp, along the center of the eyebrows, the bridge of the nose, and the tip of the nose, all the way to the yellow mud.
Dolgon didn't look at Li Shiyu more, he just snorted in his mouth, and Dolgon's cold eyes slowly looked for Li Laiheng. The battle continued, and he occasionally joined for a brief moment, then quickly retreated to the core. Every time he joins for a short time, he must have discovered that the enemy has someone above the leader, and as the number of times he joins increases, the number of dead generals above the leader also increases.
"Hmph. It's time to make a move!"
Dorgon didn't have many generals to spend any longer, so he said to his generals, "Shoot!"
This shocked not only his own general, but even Dolgon himself was a little frightened. This hand Dorgon had only used once, and that was when he had used it once in hand-to-hand combat with his strongest political enemy, Haug.
Dorgon is going to make a killing of the core position. In order to kill Li Laiheng, he would rather have his elite buried for him. Danger is approaching, Li Laiheng knows Dorgon's abilities and knows his ambitions, but he definitely did not expect that he would trade his own henchman's body and life for a chance to kill Li Laiheng.
Dorgon prepares to bombard the core with Hongyi artillery, where the elite of both sides are located. Dorgon turned to leave, unwilling to get too close to the scene of the massacre on this occasion. A red-clothed cannon quietly lifted its camouflage, the shell was loaded, this time no one did anything to do it, and the explosion site must have been bloody and wounded.
The battle is still so fierce. The two formations of the green dragon and the white tiger gradually became weak, and for the first time they were flattened by others, they were caught by others, but they were caught by others. There is another half-incense time, and Dolgon's troops will be depleted. At this time, Li Laiheng caught a glimpse of Dolgon leaving, and it was impossible for Dolgon to leave the battlefield out of fear.
Lee Rae-hyung had a premonition that something was going to happen, or that something was about to happen. Lao Jiu was not around, Li Laiheng looked around vigilantly, his cavalry had been divided into two lines, one line was pressed to the south, and the other line was attacked to the north, and Dorgon's rare defeat would reappear again in front of Li Laiheng. Li Laiheng couldn't figure out why Dolgon suddenly broke away from his troops.
"Oh no!" Li Laiheng suddenly saw the cannon: "Hongyi cannon!"
When Li Laiheng thought of these four words, he quickly thought about a question in his mind: How to get out of the battlefield? For a while, there was no way to get out of the battlefield, the two troops were intertwined, and victory was in sight, and now the troops were suddenly withdrawn, not only could they not get out, but even if they did, they would become a rout, so the only way was to crush the opponent as soon as possible!
Li Laiheng shouted: "......"
Li Laiheng's voice didn't have time to come out, no, it came out, but it was muffled by a loud bang.
"Boom!" Li Laiheng and the others were shrouded in smoke and firelight.
Beijing. Tens of thousands of Duoduo attacked, and Dolgon not only gave Duoduo enough men and horses, but also gave him almost all the artillery, and the walls of Beijing were under more than half of the artillery fire of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
Li Yan had long foreseen that there would be today's situation, and as long as Beijing held on, it would be impossible for the Qing troops to boldly move south and west, so there were good reasons for him not to give up Beijing. If Li Zicheng acts as soon as possible in Xi'an at this time, calls on the whole country to fight against the Qing soldiers together, and unites Zuo Liangyu, Shi Kefa and others as much as possible, the whole country will unite as one, drive out the Qing soldiers, and have a great chance of dominating the world. Of course, he also knows that Beijing's hold will be very difficult.
Duoduo's artillery fire was already the sixth concentrated attack, and a section of the eastern wall collapsed several times, each time Li Yan led his troops to fill the gap with burlap bags to fill the gap before the Qing troops attacked.
Li Yan's face was scratched by bricks, and he personally commanded the fight against the enemy on the city wall. The common people helped Li Yan's army carry supplies in the city, and they said that Li Yan Gongzi was a good person, and he led the troops to resist the Qing army, and the people of Beijing had nothing to say and had to help.
However, not all Beijingers think this way, there is an undercurrent, and their strength is not very small, they used to be Hong Chengchou's people, or Hong Chengchou's admirers, and there is also a group of people who are Wu Sangui and Wu Sangui's subordinates' cronies, and they are actively preparing to cooperate with the Qing army to attack the city. The people in Beijing are very complex, and there are all kinds of people. Therefore, there are many rumors in Beijing, and assassination activities are very frequent.
Li Yan already had a headache to deal with the security in the city, and now that Duoduo suddenly attacked the city, he had to concentrate on defending the city wall. Just when Li Yan was defending the city wall of Beijing, there was a group of people secretly discussing problems inside the city gate of Desheng Gate.
"Now there are only 20,000 people stationed in the city, and tonight the regent of Dorgon will lead the main force to attack from the Desheng Gate, and we will open the city gate when the time comes, and welcome the regent into the city, which is a miracle. A man who looked like a great Shunjun spoke, and there were a dozen or so people sitting around him.
"We are too few in number, but we are afraid that we will not be able to open the gates. Another said worriedly.
"Hey, you, I've been talking to you for a long time, of course there are too few of us more than a dozen, do you want you to pull the people you think are reliable?"
"Yes, yes, if we look for ten by ourselves, won't there be hundreds? Okay, and if we follow Li Zicheng to do it, sooner or later we will die. "This is Tang Tong's surrender.
Tang Tong was killed in the battle of Shanhaiguan, and his troops were reorganized, and a few people were integrated into Li Yan's troops. They hooked up with Wu Sangui's people, and they were ready to join forces inside and outside, and sacrifice the city tonight.
Hao Shaoqi was stuck by the blue flag. His 20,000 people were supposed to reinforce Li Yan, but he didn't expect to suddenly insert a team and block their way. The Blue Banner was originally the Upper Three Banners, but now it has been lowered to the Lower Five Banners by Dolgon. Dolgon commanded the Battle of Beijing in Beijing, and it was self-evident that they had to perform well.
Hao Shaoqi faced more than 30,000 Zhenglan Banner and some Mongolian soldiers led by the banner owner of Zhenglan Banner, although he had the intention to reinforce Li Yan as soon as possible, but if he did not defeat this army, reinforcement could only be a wish.
Hao Shaoqi looked around at the surrounding troops, and he knew that this was a vicious battle. If in normal times, he doesn't want to fight with the enemy, he is no longer Hao Shaoqi when he followed King Gao Chuang, Hao Shaoqi at that time was not only to shake the flag is to slash and kill, but now after so many setbacks, Hao Shaoqi has also learned to be scheming, he knows that defeating the enemy, there is something more powerful than courage.
But it's hard to say today, Li Yan's situation is precarious, not to mention the instability in the city, what kind of person Duoduo is, Hao Shaoqi is very clear. This middle-aged Manchu Qing Dynasty general, born to the same mother as Dolgon and Azig, his reputation, except that he was their younger brother, was not inferior to them on the battlefield.
On his fifteenth birthday, he led the forces of three Niu Lu to face the 5,000 cavalry of the Joseon prince, and he slashed and killed more than 2,000 of the prince's army in less than an hour, and finally the enemy had to surrender to Duoduo, who had only a few hundred troops. In this battle, Hao Shaoqi can only get close to Duoduo by defeating the resistance of the Zhenglan Banner, and only then can he have a chance to support Li Yan. However, defeating the superior forces of the Zhenglan Banner, Hao Shaoqi really had no sufficient reason to be convinced.
The Zhenglan Banner was originally an elite flag led by Haoge, the eldest son of Huang Taiji, and belonged to one of the three banners. Hauge has a wide range of military exploits, and he has been continuously promoted because of his outstanding achievements. Hauge was at odds with Dorgon, Prince of Rui. After the death of Huang Taiji, because no heir was appointed, it caused a struggle between Dorgon and Hauge for the throne.
At that time, Hauge was in charge of the blue flag, and he had the yellow flag and the yellow flag left by Huang Taiji and the support of many ministers, which was slightly better than Dolgon, who had the support of the white and white flags and Duoduo. However, Hauge failed to act decisively at the critical moment, and when a minister proposed that Hauge was eligible to succeed to the throne and asked him to succeed him, he said that he could not do it, and was pushed by Dolgon and thus failed to enter the throne. Eventually, he was succeeded by his younger brother, Aisin Jueluo Fulin, the ninth son of Huang Taiji, and Dolgon as the regent's auxiliary. So now is the time for the betrayal of the blue flag.
In order to have a good performance, when he saw Hao Shaoqi hesitate slightly, he issued an order to attack. More than 30,000 enemies pressed over like dark clouds, and the whining sound from their mouths was deafening, but fortunately, Hao Shaoqi had practiced the tactics of the Manchus during his training in the past few years, otherwise he would probably be intimidated by the hornet-like charge of the Qing soldiers.
Hao Shaoqi watched calmly for half a minute. Half a minute later, a violent sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. For a long time, Hao Shaoqi has not had a chance to fight a vicious battle, and today he is ready to fight a vicious battle.
His broadsword drew a circle in the air, and with a random clash of legs, he urged the horse forward. Behind him were three thousand cavalrymen, and the rest stood still. Hao Shaoqi prepared to storm the enemy's 30,000 cavalry with his 3,000 elites.
This is not Hao Shaoqi's recklessness. One is that he was not prepared to fight with the enemy, so he did not move his main forces. The second is that he has long coveted Li Laiheng's 800 elites, and he knows that he can't train Li Laiheng-style elite troops, but after many years of training, he gradually found some training methods, he carefully selected 3,000 people, and after long-term training, he has an elite army that is brave and good at fighting.
He has this confidence, 3,000 elites are put into the enemy's core position, and they can do something. Hao Shaoqi's 3,000 elites went straight to the core position of Abbe. At a distance of one mile, two galloping cavalry galloped in the opposite direction, and the speed of the two was added together, and the mile was reached in an instant.
Qing Bing was surprised. Three thousand men crashed into the core position, but before they could make the shield bearers change formation, and the archers didn't have time to shoot the first wave of arrows, they had already entered the core of the position.
Hao Shaoqi didn't love to fight, he didn't just want to kill the enemy, he was for a quick victory, and only by killing the head of the enemy could he have a quick decision, so his big knife pointed at Abbe and sneered.
"Okay, come on, I'm just about to find you bad luck! You threw such a little meat into my mouth, not enough for me to stuff between my teeth. ”
Abbe slapped his horse and rushed forward, and the soldiers and generals around him also shouted happily and rushed with the main general. The two generals at the front are both big swords, big swords to big swords, and the white light arcs and slashes towards each other.
