Although from Ji Qingwen's God's point of view, Wu Sangui, who is not yet twenty years old, will become an important force for the Manchurians to dominate the Central Plains in the future, his defection will also lead to the complete defeat of Li Zicheng, and organize the birth of another Han regime at the end of the Ming Dynasty, which can be described as one of the worst traitors in Chinese history.

However, his Wu Sangui's heartfelt appearance of saving his father can't help but be touching.

Before Ji Qingwen crossed over, it was his father who "became a father and a mother again", and "a handful of and a handful of urine" pulled him up, so he felt empathy when he saw this scene, and felt that Wu Sangui still had a good heart, as long as he was guided correctly, he might not become a big traitor who would be stinky for thousands of years in the future.

So Ji Qingwen made up his mind and said to Yuan Chonghuan: "Inspector Yuan, such a loyal minister and filial son, if he doesn't save him when he sees death, he is afraid of hurting the morale of the soldiers. Since the overseer refuses to save me, then I want to come to the rescue, and I only ask the overseer to lead the army to wave the flag and shout for me in the city, so as to strengthen the army. ”

After that, Ji Qingwen also moved forward quickly, and ordered Chen Wenzhao to concentrate all the five hundred regiments of training soldiers at the north gate of Tongzhou, including the chariot that played a big role in defeating Daishan.

Tongzhou City is not very large, but in the blink of an eye, the five hundred regimental training has been assembled, and the chariot has also been pushed over.

Especially Ji Qingwen deliberately moved a little cleverly, pushed the chariot at the city gate, and completely stuck this not generous city gate, even if Yuan Chonghuan wanted to order the gate to be closed, he couldn't close the city gate.

Yuan Chonghuan, who was standing at the head of the city, saw that Wu Sangui was the first and Ji Qingwen in the later generation, and dared to openly disobey his orders, feeling that the absolute authority that he had established with great difficulty after killing Mao Wenlong had been strongly challenged!

Yuan Chonghuan wanted to immediately take out Shang Fang's sword and kill this disobedient Ji Qingwen under the city.

However, this Ji Qingwen is a close confidant of the emperor, and I heard that he also has a Shang Fang sword in his hand, and now he is coming out for Zu Dashou - so if he kills Ji Qingwen now, he will not be able to make a mutiny...... Now that the Emperor Taiji's army is pressing the realm, this is not the time for chaos!

Yuan Chonghuan, the extremely decisive and authoritarian Jiliao Governor, finally hesitated when he encountered such a problem, and his white and pure scholar's face became redder and redder, and he could only grit his teeth and observe the situation in the city.

But seeing Wu Sangui, who was going out of the city, took the lead, he had already rushed to Wu Xiang's side in a moment, and after making eye contact with his father, he went around half a circle in the wilderness, and brushed the attack of the Manchurian cavalry, and then quickly turned back to Tongzhou City.

The Manchurians were such fierce people that when they saw that someone dared to save people out under their noses, they immediately displayed their famous riding and archery skills: while continuing to gallop on horseback, they shot Wu Sangui with bows and arrows at the back.

But seeing that Wu Sangui was not in a hurry, he took out the treasure knife he was wearing at his waist, and when he saw the direction of the arrow, he waved it in the air, knocking down the arrows one by one, and only three or two arrows hit the buttocks of the war horse under his crotch, which made the horse run more and more desperately.

Wu Sangui has such martial arts and luck, and the few families he took out of the city may not have it.

I saw that under the attack of the locust-like arrows launched by the Eight Banners Cavalry, they were shot to a thousand points in an instant, and the blood on their bodies exuded hot gas. The last shred of the vitality of these loyal soldiers also flowed out of their bodies like their blood.

In a moment, all the family members that Wu Sangui brought out of Tongzhou City had fallen under the horses, and were trampled to pieces by the hooves of the Eight Banners Iron Rider who followed.

It was the sacrifice of these family members and cronies that brought about a slight slowdown in the pursuit of the Manchurian cavalry, and Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui finally took advantage of this opportunity to enter Tongzhou City from the north gate that was held up by Ji Qingwen's chariot and could not be closed.

The wolf-like Manchurian cavalry was furious when they saw the almost readily available prey in front of them escape, but they suddenly found that the gate of Tongzhou was open - it was a great opportunity to enter the city and annihilate the main force of the Ming army in one fell swoop.

So I don't know if I got the approval of the Great Khan Emperor Taiji, these thousands of elite soldiers with the three banners of Zhenghuang, inlaid with yellow, and Zhengbai instantly reached a new tacit understanding - the purpose of the battle was changed from pursuing the rout of the Ming army to attacking the city of Tongzhou.

The cavalry did not have heavy engineering equipment, and the key to attacking the city was to take advantage of the gap between the defenders and the city gates, so they quickly broke through the city defenses, entered the city, and then attacked the fortified city with the inside and outside.

Therefore, these elite cavalry, who had been in battle for a long time, saw that the north gate of Tongzhou City had not been closed for some reason, so they desperately slapped the back buttocks of the war horses that they originally regarded as treasures and companions, and urged the good horses under their crotches to attack the north gate of Tongzhou at the fastest speed.

However, at this moment, I suddenly heard a few dull loud noises in front of me, followed by several explosions as big as thunderbolts on a sunny day.

These explosions came so violently and so suddenly, and occurred in the well-arranged and fast-moving shock formation of the Jurchen cavalry, causing two or three hundred casualties at once.

Although the casualties of more than 200 people were heavy, what was even more serious was that the tight formation of the Eight Banners cavalry was completely shattered, and it was no longer possible to continue to charge Tongzhou City.

The Jurchen Great Khan Emperor Taiji was indeed in the array.

He rode a horse behind the escort of hundreds of Manchurian "Baturu" (Manchu warriors) under the palace, heard the sound of explosions in front of him, immediately reined in his horse, and exclaimed: "Artillery! It's artillery! I didn't expect the small city of Tongzhou to be equipped with artillery! ”

When Nurhachi was killed by the artillery of Yuan Chonghuan and Sun Yuanhua under the city of Jinzhou, Huang Taiji was one of the witnesses, and of course he did not want to repeat the mistakes of his victorious and wise father.

So he hurriedly ordered the "Baturu" around him, who was in charge of heralding, to blow the horn, hold the battle formation, rescue the wounded and sick, and rearrange the formation.

These thousands of Eight Banners disciples were indeed veterans of the battlefield, and when they heard the melodious tune of the horn, they immediately held the reins and rearranged the formation as they had usually trained. There are also full-time soldiers who carry the bodies of the wounded and the dead brothers lying on the ground to the back of the battle and dispose of them properly.

Huang Taiji was also a little relieved to see that although his soldiers and horses suffered some losses for a while, they were able to quickly reorganize their teams.

He was just about to say a few words of comfort, when suddenly there was a neat muffled sound from the direction of Tongzhou City, and the sound was undecided, and a burst of bullets flew sideways, instantly killing and wounding twenty or thirty Manchurian cavalry standing at the front of the formation.

Huang Taiji wondered - the range of the Ming army's firearms was at most accurate aiming within a distance of fifty steps (about thirty meters); After more than 50 paces, the bullet fired was not only extremely inaccurate, but also greatly reduced in power, even if it hit the human body, it would not cause many casualties.

But now the Eight Banners battle formation under the command of Huang Taiji is two hundred steps away from Tongzhou City, and what kind of musket can cause such casualties at this distance?

The answer is very simple - it is more than 200 flintlock pistols in the hands of Ji Qingwen's subordinates.

These flintlock pistols, in their place of origin in Europe, can be called the most sophisticated, the latest weapons, using the latest European technology, extremely excellent workmanship, both in terms of range, rate of fire and accuracy are unprecedented - can shoot accurately at a distance of 100 paces (60 meters), and can still maintain considerable lethality at a distance of 200 paces.

Although Huang Taiji is not a frog at the bottom of the well, he knows nothing about the recent development of European science and technology, and he doesn't know that a five-grade Suzhou weaving will have the opportunity to master such an advanced weapon.

Just as he hesitated slightly, another burst of bullets struck, causing more than 20 casualties among the Manchurian cavalry.

At this time, Huang Taiji's knowledge as an excellent battlefield commander was finally manifested.

He silently calculated the interval between the musket firing in his heart, and estimated the speed of his elite cavalry, and suddenly let out a loud shout, and galloped towards Tongzhou City first.

The Manchurian "Baturu" who was closely guarding him was startled when they saw him rushing out single-handedly, and they hurriedly rushed out after him, lest something happen to this great sweat who was carrying the safety of the Manchurian Eight Banners.

And the rest of the thousands of elite soldiers of the Shangsanqi saw that the Great Khan had sacrificed their lives to kill them, and they immediately cheered up, and also roared and roared and rushed towards Tongzhou City.
