In the afternoon of the same day, Zhu Cijiong convened a meeting of all the generals again, it was still a blank piece of paper, it was still a charcoal pen, and Zhu Cijiong still had a confident expression. However, the expressions of the generals below have changed, their faces are no longer full of apprehension, but their faces are relaxed, and some of them even have a little happiness in their eyes.

In the morning, they really didn't know the bottom of their hearts, for fear that the emperor would not know how to pretend to be blind to command, but after a morning of fighting, they found that the emperor was still more cautious, at least he would not be greedy for merit and let them die.

Zhu Cijiong didn't pay attention to their expressions, at this time he was already excited in his heart, no one in this era really understands the battle between hot weapons, it can be seen from Huang Taiji's performance, he only thinks about others sending them to eat shells, and there is no tactic to speak of the use of artillery.

It's easy to do now, he can take advantage of the range advantage of the 5-inch gun, keep bombing, keep bombing, and bomb until Huang Taiji collapses. Of course, it is also possible that Huang Taiji will make a desperate bet and charge the whole army. He was not afraid of that, there was artillery support in the back, and there were flintlock muskets in front of him that kept firing, and he did not lose more than half of his men and horses, so he did not want to rush to the front of the formation. When he rushed to the front of the formation, the musketeers retreated, and the sword and shield soldiers were directly in front, and the pikemen and halberd soldiers were behind, and they couldn't stab him to death!

The more Zhu Cijiong thought about it, the more excited he became, and he drew it directly on the white paper, this time the map was very similar to the morning map, the only difference was that the entire formation moved forward by a hundred steps.

He hurriedly finished the sketch and said directly to Sun Chengzong: "Taifu, tomorrow morning we will still line up in the same formation, but from 600 steps away from the enemy camp to 500 steps away from the enemy camp. There is no need for the cavalry to go up and test it, and there are 15,000 cavalry on one side. ”

Sun Chengzong nodded and arched his hand: "Weichen understands. ”

Zhu Cijiong pointed to the back of the sword and shield soldiers and said to Sun Yuanhua: "Chuyang, tomorrow the 518-type howitzers will be lined up in this position, only one row, adjusted to the maximum range, and bombarded with scattered bullets until they escape the range." The Type 417 howitzers were lined up in two rows, about 600 paces away from the enemy camp, and aimed at the area 200 paces in front of the enemy to prevent the enemy from suddenly charging. ”

When Sun Yuanhua heard this, his eyes lit up, the emperor is making the artillery take the lead! He hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Weichen understands. ”

Zhu Cijiong thought about it and felt that it should be about the same, so he threw the charcoal pen and waved his hand: "Okay, go down and rest, pay attention to arranging vigilance, don't be attacked by the enemy." ”

The generals retreated in unison, leaving only Zhu Cijiong standing there alone.

Will Huang Taiji come to sneak attack? He won't do that kind of stupid thing, the Ming army has more than 200,000 people, and there is a fortress there, even if there is a part of the army stationed outside the fortress, so what, people swing their artillery on the city wall, you go to attack the military camp outside, he can still bomb you.

Huang Taiji not only did not go to the sneak attack, he also strictly guarded against the sneak attack of the Ming army, his artillery was aimed at the front, if the Ming army sneak attacked from both sides, then his artillery would be scrapped.

Neither side thought of attacking each other, so they got along peacefully and spent a peaceful night.

Early the next morning, the Ming army began to set up the formation, Huang Taiji had just set up the formation, and the opposite side had also completed the formation, and it looked basically the same as yesterday, that is, it had moved forward a hundred steps.

Huang Taiji was determined not to rush first, he looked at the opposite formation, and couldn't help but secretly regret it: "Why don't you guys stop lining up a little ahead?" A hundred steps forward, I'll keep you guys pouring in. “

Of course, he could only think about it, everyone knew yesterday that his artillery could shoot so far, so naturally it was impossible to take a hundred steps forward.

He can only think about it here, Zhu Cijiong is not just thinking about it, Sun Yuanhua commanded the artillery to transport the forty-two 518 howitzers behind the sword and shield soldiers, lined up, filled the ammunition, adjusted the firing range to the farthest, everything was ready, and waited for Zhu Cijiong to give the order.

Huang Taiji saw that there was no movement on the other side for a long time, thinking that they wanted to consume it again today, and when they were consumed, they would consume it, and when Zu Dashou in Shuangtaizi Fort ran out of food, he could easily clean up the 40,000 Ming troops in the fort, and when the time came, hehe, he could capture tens of thousands of slaves again, and he would make a steady profit.

Zhu Cijiong saw Huang Taiji's relaxed expression from the telescope, and couldn't help but raise his right hand to shoot Huang Taiji, and then said loudly: "Pass on my message, let Sun Yuanhua fire immediately." “

When Sun Yuanhua received the command, he immediately shouted: "Ignition, fire!" “

After a burst of fuse-burning, a volley of scattered bombs covered the enemy line like a dark cloud.

Huang Taiji was leisurely holding the telescope to look around, and suddenly there was a roar of artillery in the opposite array, he only felt a darkness in front of him, and then a noisy sound of "poof", "bang", "ah" came to his ears, and at least hundreds of cavalry in his own large array fell!

He couldn't help but "chuckle" in his heart, artillery? With such a long range, how to play?

Before he could come up with a countermeasure, there was another roar on the opposite side, and hundreds more fell in his own array.

All the Houjin cavalry showed a frightened expression, although they were not afraid of death, but this inexplicable way of dying was too terrifying, everyone looked nervously at the top of their heads, for fear that an iron ball would fly over, and they would lie directly on the ground.

Huang Taiji was already frightened at this time, and the cold sweat flowed out, it was naturally not okay to stand like this and eat cannonballs, he looked at the opposite formation, rushed up? Is it possible to rush away from such a dense defensive formation? Even if they rush away, a few people will be able to come back!

He hesitated for a moment, and another poke of scattered bombs bombed over the opposite side, and hundreds of people were gone!

Huang Taiji gritted his teeth and said unwillingly: "Order, everyone retreats into the camp, the yellow flag and the yellow flag are set up behind the camp gate to resist, and the others pack up the camp tent, carry the artillery onto the carriage, and prepare to retreat." “

The heralds scattered, and after a while all the Houjin cavalry retreated into the camp, and then began to dismantle the camp tents and carry the artillery.

Zhu Cijiong saw this scene in the telescope, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Huang Taiji, you are shameless!" If you can't beat it, you can run away, what kind of hero is it! Beat the drums, march, the musketeers approached the enemy camp two hundred paces and began to advance in waves, and the other troops maintained their formation and followed as a whole. “

The heralds scattered, and after a while, the low drum beat was remembered in the large array, and all the Ming troops, under the command of their respective generals, stepped on the drum and marched towards the Houjin camp.

Seeing that the Ming army was still two hundred steps away from the camp, a row of people on the opposite side suddenly rushed to the front, raised the guns in their hands, and a rain of bullets flew over, and the cavalry in front immediately fell into a row.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of "pop pop" sounded on the opposite side, and rows of musketeers advanced alternately, rushing forward, shooting, and reloading in one go, and the bullets covered the yellow flag and the cavalry with the yellow flag like rain, and the golden soldiers fell down in rows like dumplings.

Huang Taiji's eyes showed a rare look of fear, and he shouted: "Quick, Mingjin, the whole army retreats." “

Soon there was a sound of "clang" in the camp, and the Houjin cavalry retreated like a tide, and many military tents were thrown away by them, and after a while, the Houjin camp became an empty camp!

Zhu Cijiong saw this situation in the telescope, and couldn't help but pat the handle of the dragon chair and scolded: "Flee without a fight, shameless!" “

At this time, Qin Yiming on the side asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to chase it?" “

Zhu Cijiong glanced at him, and said angrily: "What are you chasing?" If the infantry can't catch up, the cavalry will be 30,000, and they will catch up and die? Spread the word of the word, clean up the battlefield, send scouts, follow Jiannu, and see where they have fled. “

The heralds scattered, and Sun Chengzong and others in front began to organize people to clean up the battlefield and reconnoiter the enemy.

Before the battlefield was cleaned, the scouts came to report that Huang Taiji had fled to Shuangtaizi Fort and joined the 40,000 infantry.

Soon, another scout came to report that Huang Taiji actually ran away with the infantry and fled in the direction of Haizhou Wei!

Zhu Cijiong was stunned when he heard the news, this guy is too simple, as soon as he finds out that he can't beat him, he runs away immediately, and he doesn't want to lose face at all!

In fact, Huang Taiji escaped not once or twice, as early as the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Huang Taiji led the army to attack Ningyuan, and was heavily killed and wounded by Yuan Chonghuan's command of artillery, he immediately led the army back to Jinzhou, and ordered the whole army to retreat the next day after arriving in Jinzhou, without the slightest hesitation.

In his eyes, there is only interests, and face can be worth a few dollars, Nurhachi just wants to save face, and he attacks Ning Yuan hard, and as a result, he is really dead! Huang Taiji naturally wouldn't do such a stupid thing, he was shrewd, he would run away if there was no benefit, and he would definitely not die to save face and suffer crimes.

Huang Taiji's run, even if this battle is over, Zhu Cijiong originally thought that Huang Taiji would resist for at least a few days, and he would not run until he couldn't stand it, but after only a few shots, he ran without hesitation, making him feel like a punch hitting cotton, and he felt uncomfortable for a long time.

He was feeling uncomfortable here, Sun Yuanhua suddenly ran over, bowed down and saluted: "Your Majesty, I found the location where they put the artillery, the artillery has been moved, and only a row of big pits are left on the ground.

She couldn't help but ask curiously, "What do you mean by a row of big pits?" ”

Sun Yuanhua explained: "This proves that they still use the original old-fashioned base, which must be fixed at zero hour after moving to a place, and the left and right directions and the up and down directions are dead, and they cannot be rotated, and it is also very troublesome to move the position." ”

Zhu Cijiong couldn't help but secretly rejoice when he heard this: "It's okay, it's okay, they don't know how to build a gun car, if they want to build a gun car, it will be even more difficult to deal with." ”

Soon, Sun Chengzong actually led Zu Dashou over, and Zu Dashou was so grateful to him that Zhu Cijiong only had goosebumps all over his body.

It turned out that Zu Dashou saw that the Jin army had withdrawn, and he didn't dare to open the city gate, so he could only send scouts to investigate the situation, but he happened to meet the scouts sent by Sun Chengzong.

Zhu Cijiong was really relieved to see that he had nothing to do, Chongzhen was surrounded by him that time, and the ending was too miserable, Zhu Cijiong really couldn't bear to see such a thing happen.

With Huang Taiji's escape without a fight, a war that should have been vigorous ended hastily, Huang Taiji can be said to have created the lowest casualty rate of all kinds of major wars in history, hundreds of thousands of battles, only more than 1,000 casualties, I have to say, this is simply a miracle!
