Chapter 667: Changing History

In this battle, the Qing soldiers lost more than 3,000 horses, and when they were cleaning the battlefield, they captured dozens of wounded Qing soldiers and tortured them, and learned that it was Jiannu's inlaid white flag and 10,000 Tartar soldiers who came to touch the ashes and fled.

It was also learned that the banner owner, Prince Yu Duoduo, was not among the 5,000 men and horses who launched the attack, and he should not have died in the melee.

The left cavalry led by Wang Zhicheng had 2,500 cavalry, and they witnessed classic field battles that can be recorded in the annals of history.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty dispatched more than 40,000 men and horses, and the victory or defeat was determined when the "Red Banner Army" had just arrived on the battlefield and had a firm foothold.

The Qing army's 5,000 cavalry launched a group charge and was beaten in mourning, and only a hundred or dozens of war horses that lost their riders rushed into the Ming army's unfinished array, which was because the Minnie gunners and self-generated gunners had developed a habit of being reluctant to shoot horses unless they had to do so.

Although the Ming army did not complete the array, it did not delay in firing artillery and firing guns, and after defeating the group charge of 5,000 cavalry, it did not stop at all, but pressed the whole line towards the Qing array.

Where had Duoduo seen such a strong Ming army, he had been frightened by the earth-shattering Ming artillery fire.

It is the nature of Jiannu to bully the weak and fear the hard, and Duoduo did not dare to attack again while watching the Ming army move while the whole team did not dare to attack again.

Detachment is the only choice, just when the Qing soldiers turned around and fled, the Ming cavalry launched a charge, chasing the cavalry butt to shoot the gun, the feeling of releasing the gun is very refreshing, the cavalry Shi Lang, who has just been in the army for less than a year, is overjoyed.

The bull man in history is really not easy to be buried, he is very clever, he did not die on the battlefield as Huang Han wanted, and he also brandished a saber to cut off the head of a Tartar, before which he had already used his own gun to kill a Tartar.

The "Red Banner Army" attaches great importance to the military merits obtained by using cold weapons to kill the enemy, and estimates that Shi Lang will be promoted to the rank of non-commissioned officer by the pacification officer because of his brave fighting, and he will also be able to get the position of captain.

Holding the head of the Tartar that he had cut off with his own hands, Shi Lang's heart was full of gratitude to the captured general at this moment.

He was full of emotion, sure enough, it was the easiest to participate in the cavalry, and the road pointed out by the general was bright!

Again commanded a salvo of nearly 200 artillery pieces to fire on Jiannu and Tartar, and the rain of bullets of revenge swept through thousands of troops.

This time it was a field battle between the two armies on a scale of tens of thousands, and Sun Yuanhua, who had personally experienced several battles in the year of the Apocalypse, looked at the layers of corpses of the Qing army on the battlefield and couldn't help but burst into tears.

He is cultured and knowledgeable, and has long followed his master Xu Guangqi to open his eyes to the world, and today's field battle is enough to change history, officially declaring that "the Jurchen is not satisfied with ten thousand, and it is invincible." "It's a thing of the past.

Sun Yuanhua was full of pride, he was not only looking forward to recovering Liaodong, but also looking forward to following the Longwu Sailor to the other side of the ocean to see if he could expand the territory for the Ming Dynasty overseas.

The infantry artillery coordinated to break the formation, and the cavalry then covered and killed, such a tactic is simple and effective, but Jiannu is very uncomfortable, how will they fight in the next battle?

Unable to defend the city, unable to fight in the field, Jiannu established the country by force, and when the force they were proud of was worthless under the coordination of infantry artillery, it was really not far from the destruction of the country and the extinction.

It's only been a day, and the "Red Banner Army" has reported again, this time beheading more than 3,000 Jiannu and Tartars, and the number of beheadings from the last one has doubled.

Among them, there are three Jiannu members of the level of Jiala Ezhen, more than a dozen Niu Lu Ezhen and above, four Tartar thousands, and more than 20 centurions and above.

And this is the first time that the Ming army has won a big victory in a field battle with tens of thousands of horses against Jiannu, what does this mean soon?

The Beijing division was boiling again, the soldiers and civilians cheered, and the sound of firecrackers, gongs and drums was earth-shattering.

Emperor Chongzhen in the Forbidden City was so excited for a while when he received the report of the "Great Victory in Yingzhou" that he choked his throat several times when he wanted to speak.

Wang Chengen, who came to report the good news, couldn't help sobbing, he also knew that this victory was not only more than 3,000 wins, it was enough to change history and change the situation that the Ming Dynasty was always passively beaten.

He said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, our army can fight and win against Dongnu in the case of a close total strength, and the counteroffensive on the whole front is not far off, and the general will be captured." ”

Chongzhen stabilized his emotions and said: "I have waited for this moment for too long, and I almost lost my confidence, the Duke of Liao Guogong lives up to my expectations, and I will definitely treat the Huang family well and pass on the platform to discuss matters." ”

Upon learning of the news that the "Red Banner Army" had won another great victory, Zhang Fengyi, the secretary of the Ministry of War, celebrated with a bullet.

Taking advantage of the emperor's joy, he lost no time in submitting his resignation when the platform was playing the right role, the content was earnest, and he took the initiative to ask for the responsibility of the Qing soldiers entering the pass.

Zhang Fengyi is scheming, in history, he knows that the Qing soldiers entered the land of Gyeonggi, and he could not escape the blame for the secretary of the military department, he committed suicide while taking drugs and slowly committed suicide while asking the governor to send reinforcements from various towns, and he has been working diligently, and finally died in office.

History turned a corner, and Zhang Fengyi had illusions that he did not take poison, also because the emperor's promise not to kill him for three years after the edict gave him hope to live.

During this period of time, the Ming Dynasty really did not kill officials and criminals, and it seems that only the general of the conquest used the sword of Shang Fang to enforce the military law and asked for the life of the chief military officer Chao Pichang.

Zhang Fengyi took the initiative to take the blame and resign when the "Red Flag Army" was winning successive battles, which can be described as far-sighted.

He had reached the pinnacle of the Holy Will, and knew that if he came forward to openly assume the responsibility at this time, the emperor would definitely not kill them all, and maybe he would be able to retreat with his whole body.

The secretary of the military department resigned, but the emperor did not say a word, and discussed this matter with the first assistant Wen Tiren, the cabinet ministers He Ruzhong, Zheng Guochang, Kong Zhenyun, He Fengsheng, Huang Shijun, Zhang Zhifa, and Xue Guoguan.

At this time, the ministers of the Chongzhen Dynasty had already changed, Wen Zhenmeng and Lin were killed, and Qian Shisheng, He Wusu, Wang Yingxiong and so on were deposed.

Zheng Guochang is still a relatively practical person, the Son of Heaven asked such a big thing, he didn't shy away from suspicion at all and was not afraid of offending people, and said eloquently:

"Your Majesty, the responsibility of Dongnu's entry into the army is not in the army, and Lord Zhang once tried his best to recommend the general to lead the army, and now the 'Red Flag Army' has won successive battles in Shanxi, and this soldier should have some strategic work."

He Ru pampered and said: "Your Majesty, this soldier thinks that he is unable to share the worries of the country, and he recommends Lord Liu, the left attendant of the military department, to take over the post of this soldier, and the old minister thinks it is very good, but it is inappropriate to let such a heavy minister go, and the old minister suggests that Your Majesty think twice." ”

Shoufu Wen Tiren said: "Your Majesty, the resignation of this soldier at this time is not conducive to the morale of our army, and the old minister thinks that it is most suitable to appoint this soldier to Shanxi to supervise the division." ”

Kong Zhenyun, He Fengsheng, and Huang Shijun seconded the proposal: "The first assistant is far-sighted and good, and at this time, the imperial court sending this soldier to Shanxi to supervise the division can indeed boost morale. ”

After deliberation, the emperor, who was in a good mood, finally finalized this important matter.
