Volume 2 Chapter 23 Under the Battle of Zunhua
At this time, in the dense forest three miles north of Zunhua City, the 100,000 Houjin army was waiting quietly with a standing horse, and Huang Taiji was staring at the direction of the north gate with a telescope without saying a word.
Finally, the north gate opened, and about a hundred strong men dressed as civilians quickly stood on both sides of the city gate, and about a dozen of them threw torches in their hands on both sides of the official road in front of the north gate.
Seeing this scene, Huang Taiji's face finally relaxed, and he was about to turn over and get on the horse, but suddenly remembered something, and raised the binoculars to take a closer look.
It seems a little wrong, why is there no damage on this city wall?
He pondered for a while, and then bowed to the second Bele Tower behind him: "Second brother, you rush in with a yellow flag. ”
When Tabai heard this, he was pleasantly surprised, he can be said to be the most useless of these Baylors, the other Baylors are all leading the army, the scenery is incomparable, only he is useless, he can only follow the Eighth Brother Huang Taiji to pick up a little bargain, and has never led the army to plunder it alone.
This time, the eighth brother actually let him go first, this is the city of the Han people, I don't know how much property there is, the first one will definitely make a lot of money, how can he not be excited! All mine is mine, gold and silver, beautiful women and cattle are all mine.
As soon as Huang Taiji's words fell, he howled: "Listen to the yellow flag, all get on the horse, and rush with me!" ”
After howling, he immediately turned over and rode out straight, and 10,000 horses with yellow flags behind him also got on their horses and followed him towards Zunhua City.
Huang Taiji's face is full of black lines in the back, this is a sneak attack, do you understand the sneak attack? Did you rush like that? I told them to wrap the horses' hooves first!
He was about to raise his hand to call Tabai back, but after thinking about it, he put his hand down again, this second brother is a little bit second, but this time it is just right, if there is an ambush, what is the difference between sneakily rushing up and blatantly rushing up? If there is no ambush, it will take a little more effort to rush up like this. He really didn't pay attention to the old soldiers in Zunhua City, the city gates were opened, and he didn't believe that Zunhua couldn't take it down.
Tabai was so excited, his hands were slapping the horse's buttocks like he was going crazy, and his mouth was howling wildly, like a psychopath who had taken stimulants.
The elite of the yellow flag was also affected by him, and then howled, and the ten thousand golden iron horsemen simply became bandits in the Wuthering Mountains and Forests, without a little discipline, they only knew how to rush forward.
Sun Chengzong glanced at these crazy people inexplicably in the telescope, shook his head, and said loudly: "Order, hang the people below, close the back gate of the urn city, and prepare to roll stones and wood." ”
This side has just hoisted up the soldiers who are pretending to be golden spies, and Tabai over there has already taken the lead in rushing into the north gate.
As soon as he entered the north gate, he was dumbfounded, why was it still a city wall inside?
Sun Chengzong didn't give him time to think, he saw that almost half of the people had already rushed into the urn city, so he ordered loudly: "Roll the stone and the wood." ”
Someone immediately jumped out of the city gate hole and pushed down all the rolling stone and wood that had been prepared, and an obstacle nearly one meter high was immediately piled up at the city gate, and the 10,000 horses inlaid with yellow flags were divided into two sections.
Jin outside the city was taken aback, and began to rein in his horse, you hit me, I hit you, and it was a mess; The Jin army in the urn city was even more frightened, and they turned their horses' heads and rushed desperately towards the city gate.
Sun Chengzong ordered loudly again: "Pour oil and light the fire." ”
The city gate tower fell down again I don't know how much waste oil, and the last few torches were dropped, and the entire city gate instantly turned into a sea of fire.
At this time, the fierceness of the Jin Tieqi was reflected, and the Jin army outside the city did not retreat, but took off the bows and arrows on their backs one after another, and prepared to shoot arrows at the city wall. The Jin army in the urn city also ignored the fire at the city gate, and even urged the horse to jump directly into the fire, and it was really able to jump out of the city gate!
Sun Chengzong naturally wouldn't let them run away like this, and he immediately ordered: "The first team, the second team, pull out the grenades, and throw them into the Jin army outside the city." The third team, the fourth team, the grenade is plucked, and the golden army in the city is thrown in"
At one point, thousands of fist-sized black shadows flew out of the city wall and fell into the army of yellow flags inside and outside the city. "Boom boom boom" burst into flames, and then there was a miserable howl:
"Ah, what's that?"
"Ah, it hurts me!"
"Ahh
Some of the war horses were seriously injured and collided directly in the crowd, and the Houjin cavalry above couldn't pull it, and the entire army with yellow flags was finally completely chaotic.
Sun Chengzong ordered again: "All archers, face outside the city gate, and prepare to shoot at close range." “
Immediately, nearly 5,000 archers stood in neat five rows, facing out of the city gates, drawing their bows and arrows, diagonally upward.
Sun Chengzong burst out: "Shoot." “
"Whoosh whoosh" A rain of arrows covered the Jin army outside the city like a dark cloud, and countless Jin troops were hit by arrows, and the miserable howl resounded throughout the north of the city.
The Jin army outside the city finally collapsed, and they all turned their horses and fled north.
Sun Chengzong ordered again: "All archers, shoot ten rounds of rapid fire into the urn city." “
"Whoosh" The rain of arrows on the city wall continued to cover the urn city, and there were nearly 3,000 Houjin cavalry inside, but because of a grenade explosion, they were covered with steel needles, and they couldn't sit firmly on the horses in pain, and the wounded war horses were running around, so that they didn't have a chance to take out their bows and arrows to fight back, so they could only desperately squeeze to the city gate.
The gate of the city was so big, and less than a thousand people could escape in the end, and at least 2,000 Houjin cavalry were shot dead in the urn city.
At this time, Tabai led the remnants of the army to flee back to the hidden woods of the Houjin army, although he was wearing armor, but he was also bombed on his hands, legs, and face were full of steel needles, and he grinned in pain, and wanted to die.
Huang Taiji couldn't believe his eyes, the 10,000 iron horsemen who had just rushed up with a howl ran back in the blink of an eye, what the hell is going on, is Zunhua City haunted?
He stepped forward and grabbed Tabai and asked loudly, "Second brother, what's the matter?" “
Tabai was about to convulse at this time, and while inhaling the cold air, he replied: "Hey, there's an ambush, a hiss, there's a hidden weapon!" “
Hidden weapons? Huang Taiji noticed the steel needle on Tabai's face, he gently pulled out one and put it in front of his eyes to look at it carefully, and couldn't help but wonder: "What kind of secret weapon is this, steel needle?" How did such a rough steel needle ejaculate? “
He asked as he helped Tabai pull out the steel needle, "Do you see clearly what they used to launch the hidden weapon?" “
After the steel needle was pulled out, Tabai felt much better, he thought about it for a while, and replied affirmatively: "It's not shot out, it's a thunderbolt, and these steel needles are blown out of the thunder." “
Thunder? Huang Taiji is not too worried, that thing has to be guided by the fire rope, it can't be thrown far, it will explode in mid-air if it is thrown far away, and it is relatively easy to defend, it can be used for sneak attacks, if you fight head-on, I won't put up a shield when I see you on fire, once this thing is seen, it is useless.
He naturally didn't think that this was a flint-style thunderbolt, and he didn't need to ignite it at all, he could throw it as he wanted, and he could throw it whenever he wanted, and he couldn't prevent it!
Huang Taiji ate such a big suffocation, naturally he wouldn't just forget it, after helping Tabai pull out the steel needle on his face, he immediately shouted: "Ordered Zhengbai Banner to stay and take care of the wounded soldiers, and the others all got on their horses and followed me to Pingzunhua City." “
The heralds immediately scattered in all directions, and soon Huang Taiji led an army of 80,000 to slowly force towards Zunhua City.
When he came to a mile outside the city, Huang Taiji raised his hand and asked all the soldiers and horses to stand by, and then took out his binoculars and looked at the city wall.
As soon as he pointed his binoculars at the city gatehouse, he saw a veteran with gray hair and beard standing there majestically, looking at him lightly
Sun Chengzong! The emperor couldn't help but gasp, if there are still people in Daming who he is afraid of, it is only Sun Chengzong, it is Sun Chengzong who presided over the construction of the Ningjin defense line that made him unable to enter an inch in three years, the Jurchen does not know how many warriors are buried under Ningyuan City, this Sun Chengzong is simply his nemesis!
Is that all there is to it? Huang Taiji was a little relentless, he really didn't want to fight against Sun Chengzong, he didn't want to touch the Ningjin defense line now, but he didn't expect to meet this nemesis here.
But as soon as he thought that he was carrying 100,000 iron horses, his courage grew up again, he was afraid of a bird, now that Zunhua City can't be attacked, I won't attack it first, first bypass Zunhua and go straight to the Beijing Division, I don't believe that you Sun Chengzong dare not go to the capital to escort, and when you leave, I will go back and seize Zunhua City, and you Daming cavalry dare to chase after you?
Thinking of his tactics, he couldn't help but feel relieved, looking at Sun Chengzong who was calm on the city wall, he was really angry, and before leaving, he couldn't help but scold: "Sun Chengzong, you old horseman, you dare to yin me!" “
Sun Chengzong pursed his lips, pulled over the Jinyi Wei Qianhu next to him, and commanded a few words in his ear, and the Qianhu immediately shouted: "Bold, you are a small Jianzhou Wei commander who dares to insult the Inspector, don't you want to live?" “
Huang Taiji is so angry, I didn't expect this old guy to scold so badly, and he didn't bother to talk to him, so he directly left a cruel sentence: "I'll go to the capital now, you are going to collect the body of your little emperor." “
Sun Chengzong glanced at him disdainfully, and then explained a few words to the thousand households. The thousand households shouted again: "Master Sun said, you better take your people back to Jianzhou quickly, otherwise it will become more than 100,000 corpses, and it will be very troublesome to clean up." “
When Huang Taiji heard this, his face was flushed with anger, and he was really uncomfortable scolding and fighting with these literati!
He glared at Sun Chengzong hatefully, and shouted directly: "Go." “
Then, turning the horse's head, he galloped away.
