Chapter 466: Responsibility

On Tianzhu Mountain, Huang Taiji faced the nobles of the Eight Banners Manchuria, and his face was gloomy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Huang Taiji was in a low mood, and the various flag owners, Baylor was also in a low mood. This time the big war was too ugly. Since the Battle of Salhu, the Qing Dynasty soldiers have fought in all directions, how could they have lost so badly?

Since the Ming army's 150,000 troops entered Liaoxi, the Qing Dynasty has been losing since Bijia Gang. More than 2,000 soldiers died at Beacon Post, more than 3,000 soldiers died at Hejiaao, and more than 12,000 soldiers died in a great defeat at the foot of Dabi Mountain.

100,000 Qing soldiers entered Liaoxi, and now there are only more than 80,000 people left, which can be described as heavy losses. Even Duoduo, the prince of Yu, was killed in battle.

Duoduo was an important figure in the Qing Dynasty and was known among the kings. Although he was young, he made many contributions to the southern and northern wars. After fighting with the Ming Dynasty for decades, the Qing Dynasty has never died a county king. And this time, he was actually bombed by Li Zhi's cannon and killed a prince.

Duoduo's death darkened the morale of the Qing soldiers and horses.

Not only that, but the fire gun soldiers that Huang Taiji spent two years building, which was regarded as the trump card of the Han Army Banner, were also defeated by Li Zhi.

These 30,000 firearms soldiers are the painstaking efforts of Huang Taiji, and they have almost exhausted the manpower and material resources of the Qing Dynasty in the past three years to build. The 30,000 firearms performed well on the battlefield at the beginning, defeating the 50,000 Ming army in one fell swoop. However, after encountering the real enemy, Li Zhi, the firecrackers were killed. The firecrackers failed to shoot in front of Li Zhi's army and were crushed.

Huang Taiji's three-year hard work came to naught.

Kong Youde knelt in front of Huang Taiji at this time, crying profusely. He kowtowed the ground, knocking his scalp out of blood, and shouted loudly: "The slave has betrayed the emperor's trust and failed to bring the firecrackers well!" Slaves deserve death! ”

Huang Taiji looked at Kong Youde and sighed.

After a long time, Huang Taiji said slowly: "It's not your fault that the fire guns can't fight Li Zhi. ”

"The reason why the 30,000 Han Army Banner Fire Gun soldiers were defeated by Li Zhi was not because the armor was not thick, nor because the Fire Gun was not strong, but because the cannon equipped by the Han Army Flag was too weak. The Han army banner had only fifty-three small cannons, which could only hit one mile. And Li Zhi's 15,000 men had 150 cannons, and there were 70 heavy cannons, which could fight three miles. A few miles away, our Qing Dynasty's light artillery was destroyed by Li Zhi's heavy artillery. ”

"If my 30,000-strong army bombarded Li Zhi with more than 100 heavy artillery pieces and shot scattered sub-cannons to kill the enemy, how could the Han army flag be defeated?"

Kong Youde was pardoned, and kowtowed a few more times on the ground, kneeling down.

Huang Taiji said slowly: "In the next few years, we will think of ways to build Hongyi cannons. In the future, if there are 200 Hongyi cannons of several thousand catties to help in the war, why can't I defeat Li Zhi in the Qing Dynasty? ”

Kong Youde knelt on the ground and shouted loudly: "Emperor Shengming! ”

"However, before the cannon was created, I could only rely on cavalry shooting!"

Huang Taiji let go of Kong Youde and looked coldly at the white flag Melle Zhangjing Adun who was kneeling on the ground.

Adun seemed to feel Huang Taiji's cold gaze, and he was covered in cold sweat.

Huang Taiji said slowly: "Adun, tell me, how did you retreat without a fight when you led five thousand horse armor and five thousand foot armor, a total of 10,000 horse troops, to Li Zhi's formation?" ”

Hearing the emperor's words, Adun was so frightened that his whole body softened. Outside the gate in February, he actually soaked his entire back in a cold sweat.

The emperor said that he retreated without a fight, which is a felony to lose his head! The soldiers and horses led by himself were stopped by Li Zhi's stabbing array and did not break through, and the emperor wanted to punish his own crimes?

Adun shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, the minions are not retreating without a fight, Li Zhi has two rows of stabbing formations in front of the formation, and the white blades are sensen. At that time, if the warriors had rushed forward, they would have suffered heavy casualties. rushed up like this, saying that the death of a thousand soldiers and horses is less! ”

Huang Taiji asked coldly: "If you die a thousand soldiers and horses, are you afraid?" ”

Hearing this, Adun's heart trembled, and he couldn't say anything with his tongue knotted.

Huang Taiji said: "Duoduo rushed into battle with 30,000 firecrackers and ambushed you behind the firecrackers, so that you could rush out from behind the defeated firecrackers and strike a thunderous blow. You launched a charge from a distance of fifty paces from the Ming soldiers, and you were actually stopped by a thin two-layer stabbing array? ”

"Prince Yu painstakingly ambushed you behind to make a killing move, and what he wants is for you to charge into battle. The great opportunity to break Li Zhi was at that time. Not to mention the death of a thousand soldiers and horses, even if you want to be stabbed to death by Li Zhi's guns, you should rush forward and crush Li Zhi's firecrackers in one fell swoop! ”

"If it weren't for your weakness and incompetence in the battle, maybe Li Zhi's soldiers and horses would have collapsed, how could Prince Yu be killed by Li Zhi's cannon?"

Ah Dun raised his head in a panic and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, at that time, 30,000 firearms were defeated, and the morale of 10,000 horse soldiers was low, where was there still morale to sacrifice their lives to rush into battle." ”

When Huang Taiji heard this, he snorted coldly and said loudly: "You can't motivate the soldiers off the field, and you can't charge into battle on the battlefield, what's the use of you?" ”

Ah Dun was stunned when he heard this murderous sentence. He knew that Huang Taiji had a murderous intent, and said in a panic: "Your Majesty, the slave knows that he is wrong. Next time, if Aden is allowed to rush into battle, Adun will rush to the front even if he dies. ”

Huang Taiji said coldly: "There is no next time." Come! Drag Mel Zhangjing Adun down and cut it down! ”

Hearing Huang Taiji's words, the banner master, the prince and Baylor present all had their faces sinking. Adun was originally Nurhachi's personal guard, and because of Nurhachi's trust, he once achieved a solid mountain and was true. However, after Nurhachi's death, Adun gradually lost his prominence. Everyone couldn't imagine that Huang Taiji was so angry this time, and he actually took all the anger of defeat on Adun and killed him in public.

But that's how it should be. Kong Youde was hand-picked by Huang Taiji, and blaming Kong Youde for the blame is tantamount to slapping Huang Taiji himself. Dodor had died a glorious death, and it was a bit out of place to blame for Dodor. And Adun is Duoduo's subordinate general, and he blames Adun for the defeat, so that Huang Taiji can get rid of the responsibility himself.

And this Adun's performance is really poor. When the princes of the Qing Dynasty started fighting, they paid attention to the fact that they were the first to charge into battle. All the kings, Belle, which one did not personally rush into the army to fight for his life, and which one was not scarred?

Huang Taiji was right, if he wanted to defeat Li Zhi, he had to launch a death charge and rush away from Li Zhi's stabbing array regardless of casualties. This Adun hid behind himself when he led the troops, causing the whole army to not be able to kill the enemy as if he were dead, and he was indeed guilty.

Dodor was dead, and there was no one to speak for Adun at this time.

Adun fell to the ground at once, dragged down by a few tooth swingers, and slashed outside the tent.

Huang Taiji said fiercely: "In the future, if you lead the troops to attack Li Zhi's firecrackers, you can't risk the death of the charger, and the end will be like Adun!" ”
