Chapter 348: Decisive Battle

"Knock, knock..."

"Uhhhhhh

The sound of war drums in the direction of Shenyang and the horn of the Jurchen camp sounded almost simultaneously.

Immediately, the gate of Shenyang opened, and a team of iron horsemen slowly came out in a neat line.

The Jurchen army was a little different from the Ming army, as soon as the camp gate was opened, it poured out like a tide under the leadership of their respective banner lords and generals, and then stood up according to their respective positions, noisy and shouting, and it was quiet for a while.

A high platform has been erected in the camp to facilitate the Huang Taiji to watch the battle.

According to the agreement, each side of this battle will send 10,000 horses, and the main general will not be allowed to participate in the war, in fact, this rule is set for Ye Xun, this is not only that there is no opponent among the Jurchen generals, but also the Jurchen soldiers also highly respect him, if Ye Xun personally participates in the battle, this battle is estimated to be useless.

Standing high and looking far away, Huang Taiji could already be sure that Ye Xun was not in the army, but the state of the two armies still gave him a wake-up call, no wonder the Liaodong Army was becoming more and more elite under the leadership of Ye Xun, and it seemed that strict military discipline was also indispensable.

The battle-hardened generals can almost judge at a glance how many troops there are, Ye Xun did not break his promise, and there were really only 10,000 iron horsemen dispatched, but in this 10,000 army, what were the dozens of carriages covered with linoleum?

Intuition told Huang Taiji that the things on those carriages were the secret weapons of the Ming army, no wonder Ye Xun so happily agreed to a decisive battle with 10,000 troops.

Huang Taiji's intuition has always been very accurate, and he immediately sent an order to the generals who went out to fight, and after the team was assembled, he immediately launched an attack, without further instructions.

He already sensed that if he let that thing kick in, it would probably cause immeasurable damage to his army.

In order to maximize the impact of the cavalry, there was a lot of space between the cavalry on both sides.

As Huang Taiji's order was handed down, the sound of trumpets was heard again in the Jurchen army, and then the entire team moved.

There are thousands of people, giving people the feeling that they are all over the mountains, not to mention the charge of tens of thousands of iron horses, black and pressing, as if they can't see the end at a glance.

The sound of horses' hooves, combined with the strange cries of the Jurchen soldiers as they charged, formed an invincible wave that swooped towards the Ming army that was still immovable.

Under normal circumstances, the Jurchen army has already been launched, and the cavalry of the Ming army should also be launched, so as to increase the impact of the war horse to the maximum.

But at this moment, the Ming army not only did not charge, but suddenly dispersed to both sides, and with the scattering of the cavalry in front, more than 30 swarthy artillery pieces finally appeared in front of the Jurchen army.

Huang Taiji did stand tall and look far away, but the Ming army obviously thought of this, so Huang Taiji only saw dozens of carriages, but he couldn't see what the carriage was pulling, let alone when the linoleum on the artillery was taken down.

In fact, Huang Taiji didn't know much, long before his army arrived, Ye Xun had already ordered the officers and soldiers of the artillery battalion to choose a position outside the city, and even dug a pit to prevent the artillery from recoiling, so after the army left the city, at the first time, the artillery battalion had already entered the position and could be launched at any time.

Seeing those black hole cannon barrels, Huang Taiji's heart suddenly sank, and the scene of the Liaodong Navy Division shelling the Korean coast couldn't help but appear in front of him again.

The 10,000 Jurchen Iron Cavalry had already begun to charge, and at this time, even the Jade Emperor ordered it, and it was impossible to make them stop.

"Boom, boom..."

Under Huang Taiji's nervous gaze, the Ming army's artillery finally began to wield, but seeing this scene, Huang Taiji breathed a sigh of relief.

There is also artillery in the Jurchen army, of course he knows the range of this kind of thing, and now although the speed of the army has been raised, it should still be out of range, and as long as the threat of artillery is discovered, the striker will definitely make corresponding avoidances.

The ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

With the roar of the Ming artillery, I saw that in the Jurchen army that was still attacking, an explosion suddenly sounded like a flower.

"Boom..."

The sound of explosions one after another, accompanied by the screams of the Jurchen soldiers, resounded over the battlefield, and this was just the beginning.

The first salvo was fired, nothing more than an adjustment of the angle, and at the beginning of the second round, the barrel began to be depressed, and at the same time the blasting shells were replaced with flowering shells.

"Boom, boom..."

The loud roar did not affect the Ming army's war horses, because the horse's ears were plugged in advance.

The effect of this round of salvo fire was better than the first round, the first round of shells exploded in the middle of the Jurchen army, and did little damage to the men and horses charging in front, but this second round was different, which was equivalent to facing the muzzle of the Jurchen cavalry.

The so-called flowering shells, the shells are not all gunpowder, and there are steel balls, iron sheets and other materials in them, and the lethality is more serious than that of blasting shells.

Under the second round of volleys, I saw that the Jurchen iron cavalry in the charge was like being cut wheat, and was put down one by one.

In this case, no matter how brave the warrior was, he had no fighting spirit, and without anyone giving an order, the Jurchen knights in the charge turned their horses' heads one after another and began to retreat.

It only took two salleys to completely destroy the morale of the Jurchens, which was expected by Ye Xun, but the soldiers and civilians watching the battle in the city didn't think much about it, and the cheers were higher and higher.

Ye Xun only signaled to beat the drum at this time, he would not give Huang Taiji any chance in this battle.

As for the agreement made before, whoever loses will be called a minister, that is pure, let alone Ye Xun, Huang Taiji will not take it seriously.

"Knock, knock..."

A tight war drum seems to beat on people's hearts and inspires people to forge ahead.

Cao Bianjiao, Li Guangrong, Dou Chengwu and others were already impatient to wait, and when they heard the sound of war drums, they immediately raised their weapons and took the lead in killing the Jurchen army that had already collapsed.

This was not the end, the city gate opened again, and the remaining 30,000 iron horsemen in the city, led by He Shixian and other generals, galloped out, and their task was to escort the artillery battalion to continue to advance and completely crush the Jurchen battalion.

When he came, Huang Taiji also had the idea of a quick victory, so the camp was not solid.

Of the 10,000 Jurchen soldiers who attacked, about 6,000 fled back, and they all said that the defeat was like a mountain, which was not wrong at all.

More than 6,000 defeated soldiers immediately dispersed and were still thinking about receiving their comrades.

With these routs opening the way, the rush of Cao Bianjiao and others also became smoother, and the 10,000 most elite Liaodong iron cavalry almost rushed into the Jurchen camp with their tails biting.

At this moment, the Jurchen camp was completely chaotic, and some soldiers raised their eyes to look around, but saw that the banner of the Great Khan had long been gone.

But it turned out that Huang Taiji saw that the situation was not good, and with the support of his subordinates, he was the first to run first.

In fact, at this time, there were still more than 40,000 elites in the Jurchens who had not been used, and if they were properly commanded, although they might not have turned defeat into victory, they would not have been defeated so badly.

It was really Huang Taiji who was frightened by the ultra-long range of the Ming artillery, standing on the high platform, as soon as he saw the artillery began to move towards him, he was immediately frightened, so he still had the courage to resist?

Huang Taiji's escape became the last straw that overwhelmed the Jurchen army, and the Jurchen soldiers of all battalions, under the leadership of the leader, turned around and fled, unable to raise the courage to resist at all...
