Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Great Victory

When Zhao Shujiao learned that the Jurchens had joined forces with the Horqin Mongols to kill 40,000 horses, the two sides had already begun to fight each other. Zhao Shujiao decided to fight to the death, but Sun Chuanting told him not to worry, let him lead 10,000 cavalry not to rush to attack, wait for his artillery bombardment to see the situation, the enemy will attack if it is chaotic, and the enemy will cover the artillery to retreat slowly if it is not chaotic, as for the soldiers of the Yehenara tribe, let them line up on both sides and beat drums and cheer.

Sun Chuanting undoubtedly received Sun Yuanhua's personal inheritance, and the Jurchens began to form a team when they were three hundred paces away, ready to charge. Before it could be launched, Sun Chuanting's artillery began to fire. Sun Chuanting saw it really in the telescope, Amin and his own soldiers were in the front wave, fifty small cannons were aimed at Amin, Shuerhaqi stood at the end of nearly a thousand steps, which could not escape Sun Chuanting's telescope, Sun Chuanting didn't care that it was the limit distance of the small artillery, and also prepared fifty small cannons for him. These 500 small cannons were put aside in the future, and they were not a powerful weapon, but now they are different, and it is not an exaggeration to say that these 500 small cannons are earth-shattering, Amin met the king of Hades in the first round of salvos, and Shulhaqi was lucky to avoid the first round of salvos. For a while, the Jurchen and Horqin Mongol coalition forces were in chaos, and then Sun Chuanting did not pause at all, five hundred small cannons fired ten rounds of salvos, even if five thousand shells killed two people each, 10,000 people died without any resistance within a quarter of an hour, not to mention that now the line is in a neat formation and a dense crowd. The first to be unable to support it was the Horqin Mongols, and in the second round of the bombardment, they collapsed, turned their horses' heads and ran, and disrupted the Jurchen formations that wanted to attack. After ten rounds of small artillery volleys, the entire coalition army completely collapsed, and there was no one who dared to charge forward, and Shulhazy was also frightened after dodging the salvo, and fled without waiting for the artillery bombardment to end. Zhao Shujiao shouted "rush", Sun Chuanting didn't stop him, Zhao Shujiao took the lead and killed it, and instantly caught up with the blind men and blind horses of the coalition army, and killed so happily that the people of the entire Yehenara tribe rushed up with the guys, and they were very happy.

The defeated coalition army was divided into two roads, the Jurchens and the Korqin Mongols went their separate ways, and the people of the Yehnara tribe were crazy, shouting "Daddy", "Mother", "Sister", "I have avenged you", and it was really miserable for the herdsmen to catch them if they ran slowly, and some even the little cocks were gnawed off by the old women, and the people of the Yehnara tribe chased Shuerhaqi.

Zhao Shujiao and Sun Chuanting led the troops to fiercely pursue the Horqin Mongols, Zhao Shujiao himself was born in martial arts, and he was brave in battle, while Sun Chuanting was a literati who loved martial arts, do you say that the two of them can not be fierce! Originally, Zhao Shujiao was better at riding horses than Sun Chuanting's team to chase in front, but Sun Chuanting was a man with two horses, and the Mongolian horses were tired, and Zhao Shujiao's horses were tired, so Sun Chuanting changed horses. Sun Chuanting did not let his subordinates fight hard, and when he caught up, he dismounted and bombarded the platoon, the power of the platoon artillery had already scared the Horqin Mongols to the bone, and finally the Horqin Mongols were annihilated and more than 10,000 people were captured. Since then, Sun Chuanting has become a tiger that the Horqin Mongols scare the child, and as soon as the child cries, he says don't cry, and if he cries again, Sun Chuanting will come. On the edge of the prairie far away, there was a young woman who saw the handsome Sun Chuanting, the girls of every nationality have the same heroic feelings, beautiful women love heroes, looking at Sun Chuanting in military uniform, the girl was full of love, and secretly swore in her heart that she would not marry this person in this life, yes, she has this qualification, because she is the princess of this tribe - Borzigit. Hari Jula.

Under Tieling City, in the face of more than 8,000 Jurchens guarding the city, although Xiong Tingbi had 25,000 men and horses, he did not dare to be careless at all. Usually the siege chooses a city gate to attack, or the siege is missing one. However, Xiong Tingbi did not dare to do this, because once the 5,000 women* who were guarding the city rushed out of the city, it would not be enough for others to bring more than 20,000 people by himself. Xiong Tingbi adopted the method of four city gates at the same time to quietly block the gates, and launch an attack at the same time, with 100 small cannons in each city gate in the east, west and north, of which 80 were aimed at the city gate, 20 in each row, and the other 20 were archers who bombarded both sides of the city gate, so that the Jurchens on both sides of the city gate tower could not shoot arrows, and the musketeers could approach the city gate and shoot the people who were lucky enough to rush out of the city gate holes with muskets. Finally, 200 small cannons at the south gate were used as the main direction of attack.

By the time the Jurchens in the city found out that Tieling was besieged, Xiong Tingbi had already made preparations for the siege of the city. Because the south gate is the direction of the Ming army, so the Jurchen elite cavalry opened the south gate and rushed outward, but before rushing to the bottom of the suspension bridge, the artillery fire of the Ming army arrived, the city gate hole is too small, five small cannons fired at the same time, the city gate hole can not rush out alone, Xiong Tingbi saw that he simply let the rest of the small cannons change shells to the city to throw them, as a result, Xiong Tingbi was really right, the cavalry that was gathering inside was suddenly blown up, and the cavalry suffered heavy losses. When the Jurchens saw that they couldn't rush out of the south gate, they tried to rush out of the other three gates, and the result was the same.

The Jurchens in the city have always wanted to rush outward, thinking that as long as they rush out, they can give full play to the advantages of cavalry. However, the reality is cruel, when almost lost more than 3,000 cavalry, the Jurchens realized that it was impossible to rush out, and if the Ming army wanted to occupy the city, you had to attack it! As a result, the Jurchens stopped rushing outward, and the city gates were wide open, waiting for the Ming army to enter and die.

Xiong Tingbi was reluctant to send soldiers to death, he asked the artillery to flatten the muzzle of the cannon, shoot inward, and let some of the artillery shoot from outside the city, and spent thousands of shells, and finally cleaned up the Jurchens in the south gate, and then entered the city according to the pre-formulated method of combining the three arms of infantry, artillery, and guns, and cleaned up the Jurchens from street to street.

In the end, Xiong Tingbi succeeded and captured Tieling at the cost of less than a thousand people, and this battle became a battle textbook for the Ming army to conquer the Jurchen city, a nightmare for the Jurchens.

As for the battle of Kaiyuan, it was very simple, after Shuerhaqi transferred out the cavalry in Kaiyuan City, Mao Wenlong came to another fraudulent city, using a squad of cavalry to pretend to rush back to deliver the letter, so there was a rush, how could only more than 2,000 infantry be able to block Mao Wenlong, a fierce general, Kaiyuan City was easily captured by Mao Wenlong, and all the materials, gold and silver treasures were looted by Mao Wenlong. Then, Mao Wenlong drove all the Jurchens out of Kaiyuan and prepared for defense.

Hetuala, Nurhachi looked at Shulhaqi's secret letter, and hesitated in his heart, Shenyang sent 20,000 soldiers and horses to assist the Yehenara tribe, so is there any other trick, what if they pay attention to Tieling? Nurhachi hesitated in his heart, whether to send troops to recapture Fushun? And Ben Xiwei is like a sharp knife against the ribs, is it taking the opportunity to take it back? Nurhachi was thinking about how to reap the benefits when a cronie ran in. It was said that Kaiyuan sent an urgent letter, and this urgent letter came in time and solved Nurhachi's hesitation - Kaiyuan was lost.

Although Mao Wenlong does things very neatly, spies are still omnipresent. While Mao Wenlong was busy looting property, Nurhachi's cronies in Kaiyuan had already passed on the information that Kaiyuan had lost.

Shulhaqi fled in embarrassment under the pursuit of the Yehnara tribe, and finally escaped under the response of the Kaiyuan ambush soldiers, looked at the remnants of less than 10,000 horses behind him, sighed, and hurriedly reported the death to Nurhachi.

This was a small-scale battle, and a total of nearly 20,000 troops of Nurhachi and 20,000 troops of the Horqin Mongols were wiped out. However, the significance of this battle was extraordinary, recapturing the two stones of Tieling and Kaiyuan that were pressed on the top of the Ming army, and the most important thing was to cut off the connection between Nurhachi Houjin and the Horqin Mongols on the southern line. Moreover, the Horqin Mongols were afraid of the Ming Dynasty's terrifying "two-kick" cannon, and were no longer willing to fight against the Ming army.
