The reason why the Eight Banners of the Meng and the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty dared to show off their might in front of the Ming Army was because of the support of the Houjin Iron Cavalry, and if there was no Houjin Iron Cavalry, their more than 100,000 miscellaneous troops would not be the opponent of the 100,000 Liaodong Army at all.

At this time, there was already a big chaos on the periphery of Xining Fort, and the Houjin Iron Cavalry had disappeared, and even the commander Huang Taiji had disappeared, and Meng Baqi and Han Baqi were suddenly panicked like lost dogs.

They are afraid, they are really afraid, although the Guanning Iron Cavalry in the Liaodong Army is worse than the Houjin Iron Cavalry, it is also easy to clean them up, they are really afraid that the Guanning Iron Cavalry will suddenly rush out and beat them.

Will the Guanning Iron Rider rush out?

That's naturally impossible, Yuan Chonghuan is not so reckless, before he determines the position of the Houjin Tieqi, he will not attack rashly, it doesn't make much sense to kill these Houjin Tieqi's troops at all, because they exist like cannon fodder, and they don't have much combat effectiveness at all, if the Jin Tieqi suddenly surrounds after killing, it will be more than worth the loss.

He was holding a telescope to carefully observe the movements of Meng Baqi and Han Baqi, these cannon fodder are really a mess, I don't know if they have received orders, anyway, they are running towards the camp in a swarm, and even the camp gate is blocked by them, and many of the Yan Shan around the camp have also been pushed down by them, obviously, they are going back to pack up their things and run away.

Sometimes the fighter plane is fleeting, Yuan Chonghuan looked at the camps of the Eight Banners of Meng and Han, and then looked at the camps of the Eight Banners of the Golden Eight Banners in the middle, and suddenly said: "General Qi, can the artillery you brought adjust the direction?" ”

When Qi Yuanbi heard this, he hurriedly nodded and said, "The direction can also be adjusted, but it's a bit troublesome." ”

The batch of jack Franc machines he brought were all with gun carriages, that is, the simple gun carriages installed on the decks of the Weiyuan battleship, if there was a wooden board with the most base, it was very convenient to adjust the direction, but at this time, there was no huge wooden board like the deck in Xining Fort, so Qi Yuanbi could only order someone to bury the base of the gun carriage in the mound, thinking that it was fixed, and if you wanted to adjust the direction at this time, you must dig out the gun carriage and bury it in another direction.

When Yuan Chonghuan heard this, he discussed with him: "If you can adjust the direction of the artillery within a quarter of an hour, you can aim the artillery at the camp of the Mengbaqi and the Han Baqi as soon as possible. ”

Qi Yuanbi couldn't help but ask, "What's the use of stopping them from demolishing the camp tent?" ”

Yuan Chonghuan said lightly: "Don't look at this time, it's quite warm during the day, but it's very cool at night." ”

Qi Yuanbi asked puzzledly, "Cool?" Isn't it cool, it's just right for camping, even if they don't have a tent, it won't affect much, right? ”

Yuan Chonghuan was embarrassed, he coughed dryly: "Uh, this, what I said about cool is a euphemism, it's still a little cold at night at this time, if there is no camp tent, these people will be infected with wind chill nine times out of ten." ”

It turned out that this was the case, Qi Yuanbi looked at the position of the Meng Baqi and Han Baqi camps, and then said to a personal guard behind him: "Quick, you go down and give an order, let them move the two rows of ten guns in the front row ten degrees to the left and right, don't dig it out, dig up the soil next to it, pry it with something, and adjust it as quickly as possible." ”

When the guard heard this, he obeyed the order, ran down the city wall in a puff of smoke, and gave the order.

At this time, Huang Taiji's order seemed to have reached the camps of the Mengbaqi and the Han Baqi, and the chaotic situation of the two camps had improved, and many people had begun to dismantle the camp tents, and even some of the Mengyuan cavalry were transferred to the Houjin Baqi camp in the middle, risking the risk of being shelled, to help the Houjin Baqi clean up the camp tent.

Seeing this, Qi Yuanbi proposed: "Lord Yuan, why don't you bombard the middle for a few rounds first?" ”

Yuan Chonghuan thought for a while, shook his head and said: "No, scare the two sides away first, the middle will naturally panic, if you bombard the middle first, the two sides will not react, because they have never been hit by shells." ”

Qi Yuanbi nodded thoughtfully, and then paid attention to the movement of the artillery behind him.

At this time, there was a lot of shouting in Xining Fort, and there were hundreds of people in the Liaodong Army and the Qi Army, surrounded by twenty artillery pieces, shovels and hoes, desperately prying.

Thousands of pounds of Franc machine plus the base is more than 1,500 pounds, if it is lifted to reposition, it is troublesome, just a little move the position is nothing, that is, first dig out a little soil on one side, and then everyone work together, with a hoe and shovel on the other side to pry, ten degrees is just a little bit, pry a few times is almost the same, pry and then fill the soil, stocky, even if it is over.

The prepared flags were raised, Qi Yuanbi solicited Yuan Chonghuan's opinion, and then ordered: "The first two rows of artillery, lower by three degrees, reload the guns, and prepare to fire." ”

Soon, the twenty cannons were loaded, and Qi Yuanbi immediately shouted: "Open the cannon." ”

"Boom, boom", the roar of artillery that had been silent for a while sounded again, this time there were not many shells flying out, and there were only twenty shells, but the damage caused was not small at all, because at this time, almost all the co-subordinate troops of the Mengbaqi and the Han Baqi were packing up the camp tents in the big camp, and these twenty cannonballs smashed into it, it was simply a no-brainer, and each cannonball could plow a blood groove several zhang long in the large camps on both sides.

The camps of the Eight Banners of Meng and Han suddenly exploded, and near the point where the shells landed, the soldiers who were splashed with blood took the lead in throwing things down and fleeing in a hurry, and then, the soldiers of the two large battalions retreated like a tide, and some generals wanted to stop it, but they couldn't stop it.

Just kidding, the Houjin Iron Cavalry couldn't eat the shells and ran away, so let them stay here and eat the shells, no way.

Seeing this, Qi Yuanbi ordered unhurriedly: "The first two rows of artillery should be lowered by two degrees, loaded with guns, and ready to fire." ”

"Click", another rhythmic metal collision sounded, and the flag-bearers of each artillery position quickly raised the order flag in their hands again, and Qi Yuanbi once again ordered without hesitation: "Open the cannon!" ”

"Boom, boom, boom", there was another loud noise, and the camps of the Eight Banners of the Meng and Han Banners burst out again with a burst of blood, and at this time, the soldiers of the two battalions were frightened and went crazy, and they fled desperately, and soon the two camps were empty, and there was no one behind.

At this time, the Mengyuan cavalry in the middle camp was already trembling with fear, their faces were colorless, the artillery of the Ming army was simply where to fight, it was dangerous for them to clean up the camp here, would the Ming army let them go?

Of course not, Yuan Chonghuan looked at the situation of the camps on both sides, and said with a smile: "Let's give a round to the middle, hurry up and scare them away, I can send someone to burn the camp." ”

When Qi Yuanbi heard this, he hurriedly ordered: "The eight rows of artillery in the back, lower it by three degrees, load the guns, and prepare to fire." ”

"Click", another rhythmic metal collision sounded, and the flag-bearers of the eight rows of artillery positions behind quickly raised the order flag in their hands again, and Qi Yuanbi once again ordered without hesitation: "Open the cannon!" ”

"Boom, boom, boom", there was another loud bang, and eighty shells fell again on the camp of the Houjin Eight Banners.

At this moment, the Mengyuan cavalry in the camp of the Houjin Eight Banners was looking at the direction of Xining Fort in horror, and before the shells fell, they beat their horses and ran back frantically, and the Ming army really fired artillery on this side, and if they didn't run, they would be fools.

The damage caused by this round was not great, because there were not many Mengyuan cavalry in the Houjin Eight Banners camp, plus they ran away as soon as they saw the cannonballs smashing over, and the eighty cannonballs and even the eighty Mengyuan cavalry were not injured.

However, the effect of this round of artillery bombardment was quite obvious, as soon as the shells fell, the Mengyuan cavalry in the camp of the Houjin Eight Banners suddenly ran away.

Seeing this scene, Yuan Chonghuan immediately ordered aloud: "Order, order He Kegang to lead 5,000 foot soldiers and bring rockets to set fire to all the tents of the Houjin Eight Banner Battalion; Ordered the ancestor Dale to lead 5,000 foot soldiers, and set fire to all the tents of the Mengyuan Eight Banners Camp with rockets; Ordered Cao Gongcheng to lead 5,000 foot soldiers, carry rockets to set fire to all the tents of the Han Eight Banner Battalion, do not hesitate, do not take any supplies, rush in and set fire, the sooner the better, go. ”

The three guards behind him all bowed their hands and obeyed, and then they ran down the city wall as fast as they could, scattering the order.

After a while, groups of Ming army foot soldiers ran out of the trenches everywhere, flocking to the Houjin coalition army camp on the periphery of the trenches like a confluence of hundreds of rivers.

However, the generals who led the team were a little strange, because it was still broad daylight, and they were holding torches by themselves.

Of course, this torch is not used for lighting, but for lighting rockets.

They converged on the trench filled by the Houjin coalition army and divided into three more, turning into three long dragons, and attacked the three large camps of the Houjin coalition army.

At this time, the three camps of the Houjin coalition army were already in a mess, there were half-dismantled camp tents and discarded materials everywhere, and even the wounded Houjin soldiers howled on the ground, but the Ming soldiers who entered the camp did not care about these at all, and the leading generals pointed their hands, and there would be a team of men and horses scattered to the side, and about a quarter of an hour later, the foot soldiers who entered the camp finally dispersed, and the three camps sounded a loud roar one after another: "Ignition, ignition, ignition." ”

As soon as the generals in charge of the troops stretched out their torches in their hands, a bunch of foot soldiers with bows and arrows would surround them, and put the rags wrapped in the arrows on the torches, and when the oiled rags were lit, they would not hesitate to open their bows and release their arrows, and shoot the arrows with fire at the tents around them.

"Whoosh", countless rockets flew in the three large camps, and almost all the camp tents were burned.

At this time, next to a forest five miles away from the camp, Huang Taiji was ordering the commanders of the banners to converge the routs and reorganize the team.

At this moment, the sound of thunderous horses' hooves suddenly sounded in the north, and Huang Taiji immediately frowned as soon as he heard the sound of horses' hooves.

There was no scout cavalry to call the police, proving that it was his own people, the sound of hooves was scattered and abnormal, there was no rhythm, it was obvious that the Mengyuan cavalry had escaped.

Sure enough, after a while, countless scattered cavalry appeared in the north, and a large area of black pressure rushed towards this side frantically.

Seeing that the Houjin Iron Cavalry was in this formation, the Meng Yuan cavalry seemed to have regained their main backbone, the panic on their faces gradually disappeared, and the speed of the horses slowly decreased.

Huang Taiji glanced at it roughly, and his brows furrowed deeper, these guys, they didn't bring anything, they just ran over, where is the camp tent, where is the grain and grass?

At this time, Qi'er Harang came with a team of personal guards, and seeing his embarrassed appearance, Huang Taiji couldn't help but shout: "What's the matter, didn't you let you take the camp and then retreat?" ”

When Qierharang heard this, he said ashamedly: "Great Khan, the Ming army bombarded the camps of the Eight Banners of Mongolia and the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, and the soldiers of the two battalions panicked and rushed to escape, but they couldn't stop it!" ”

Huang Taiji said angrily: "These useless things, the Ming army will kill a hundred artillery, they are scattered, how many people can the Ming army bombard with one cannon?" ”

Qilharang's face was full of shame, and he bowed his head and said nothing.

Seeing this, Huang Taiji waved his hand and said: "Forget it, you go and rectify your blue flag troops, hurry up and form a formation, there may be a big battle later." ”

When Qierharang heard this, he hurriedly retreated, and Huang Taiji thought about it with a gloomy face, and then ordered: "Spread Dolgon, Azig, and Duoduo." ”

Dolgon, Azig, and Duoduo, these three brothers are from the eldest concubine Abahai, and their status is the most respected among the sons of Nurhachi, and Dolgon also competed with Huang Taiji for the throne, so Huang Taiji and their three brothers have always been estranged, and when there is any dangerous task, Huang Taiji will think of these three brothers for the first time.

This time, the camp tent must be snatched back, but if you go to pack up the camp tent, you will be shelled by the Ming army, if you are unlucky and hit by a shell, it will definitely be ten deaths!

Such a dangerous mission, naturally you can't let the other brothers go, these three brothers are just right, if they happen to be hit by a cannonball, it's their bad luck, no wonder who came.

The Emperor was there, and Dolgon, Azig, and Dordo had each come with a team of guards and galloping on horseback.

These three brothers naturally knew that Huang Taiji was not dealing with them, but Huang Taiji was okay with them, and the two banners of Zhengbai and White that they had commanded did not take it back, but often arranged some dangerous tasks for them.

It is precisely because Huang Taiji always arranges dangerous and arduous tasks for these three brothers, these three brothers have practiced their skills, and later, after Huang Taiji's death, the three of them are the most powerful, and even Dolgon almost seized the throne, of course, these are all later words, so I will skip them for the time being.

When Huang Taiji saw that the three brothers were coming, he didn't say much, and directly ordered: "You each lead a thousand personal soldiers to lead a banner of Mengyuan cavalry to clean up the camp. ”

Damn, this is telling our brothers to eat cannonballs!

The three brothers glanced at each other, and they didn't know what was going on, so they immediately surrendered their hands in unison and obeyed the order, and then immediately returned to their own soldiers.

Huang Taiji squinted at their backs for a moment before turning around to deal with other matters.

On the way back to the white flag and the white flag inlaid in the main formation, Azig couldn't help but ask: "Second brother, this guy made it clear that we should eat cannonballs, why did you give us a look and let us respond?" ”

Duoduo also showed a puzzled face, looking at Dolgon, he couldn't understand why the second brother let them accept such a dangerous task without saying a word.

Dolgon said wisely: "The artillery of the Ming army can't bombard too far, we will lead our own soldiers to wait for a mile behind the camp, and if you want to eat cannonballs, it is also the Mengyuan cavalry to eat, what are you afraid of?" ”

When Azig and Duoduo heard this, they couldn't help but show a sudden look, yes, just hide behind from afar, and you don't have to personally lead the army to the camp to eat cannonballs, I'm afraid of a fart!
