The road from Liaoyang to Hupiyi is about sixty miles, and it takes a day to march on foot. However, it only took more than half a day for the new army to arrive from Liaoyang.

Of course, this has something to do with the fact that the new army is mostly composed of horse infantry troops and car battalions, and there is another point, the training and military discipline of the new army are not comparable to other armies.

At this time, it is time to have afternoon tea. Emperor Chongzhen looked up at the sky, and said to Cao Bianjiao, the commander of the new army, and Feng Dehua, the supervisor of the division: "The Manchus are shouting in the city, let them see the gap between civilization and barbarism!" ”

"Yes!" Cao Bianjiao and Feng Dehua both received the order, and then immediately went down to arrange.

The battle plan has already been deduced. You don't have to worry about the Manchu soldiers in the city, you just need to follow the steps of the new army!

Hong Chengchou was a little curious, and he didn't know what the emperor meant by the gap between civilization and barbarism? Therefore, just stare at Cao Bianjiao to see what they are going to do?

He didn't deny it, just after watching it for a while, he knew that the elite of the new army was indeed the head of the Ming army. But the Manchus in the city, I can hear that the morale has indeed improved, and the Manchu Emperor personally led the army, and the people around him must also be elite, this tiger skin post battle, it will definitely be a tough battle! So how will the new army fight? What will it look like? In order to meet the emperor's expectations?

This question only circled in his mind for a while, and then he saw that the artillery battalion of the new army was dispatched, and he actually transported the Hongyi cannon to a place a little farther away from the city, and then began to set up an artillery position.

As a member of the Ming Dynasty's feudal officials, Hong Chengchou naturally knew the power of the Hongyi cannon, and setting up the Hongyi cannon at such a close distance, wouldn't it be obvious that the defense of the tiger skin post was weak, and there was no heavy artillery and trebuchets and the like, so it could not pose a threat to the artillery position? Could it be that this is the gap between civilization and barbarism as the emperor said?

It seems that too, with these barbarians, they can't make artillery, but Daming can. Now it is bombarded with Hongyi cannons, and the Manchus have no power to fight back.

In fact, it was not only that, under Hong Chengchou's field of vision, there was another group of flintlock musketeers approaching the city, preparing just a stone's throw away.

"Hey, they...... What are they doing here? Hong Chengchou wondered, although he didn't have this flintlock pistol in his army, it can be seen that the range of the musket sold to the western Mongolian tribes is actually about the same as the power of the bow and arrow. As the distance increases, the head will float more than the bow and arrow. The range of this arrow, can those flintlock pistols be useful?

Not to mention him, even the Manchu soldiers at the head of the city, they also ignored the furnishings of the flintlock pikemen, and were just anxious about the Hongyi cannons.

This tiger skin post is only a traffic artery, not a fortified city like Shenyang and Liaoyang, and the defense facilities in the city are even more pitiful. Don't say that there are basically no cannons, even trebuchets, and there is not a single one.

At the beginning, the Manchus did not expect that there would be a big battle in Hupiyi, and they would defend the city here. Therefore, the ordnance carried by the army was at most a rook that could be used for field defense muskets. As a result, there is a situation in front of which you can only be beaten and cannot fight back.

In fact, this is also the main reason why Liaoyang was surrounded and not fought, luring the Manchu army in Shenyang to come for help, and encircling it halfway for a decisive battle. Emperor Chongzhen's strategy is to fight easily and never get too tired, and if you can die less, it's better not to die! If you can easily crush it, then you can easily crush it!

At the head of the city, Huang Taiji, who had just gone down to eat, rushed back to the city after hearing the news. Of course, he wasn't stupid enough to go to the section of the city wall that the Hongyi cannon was directly facing. Before, he didn't think that the Ming army would attack the city today. After all, the Ming Emperor's army had just come from Liaoyang, and the army was tired from marching, and it was the best policy to rest and recuperate before attacking the city. But as it turned out, he was wrong.

Huang Taiji saw that the Ming army skillfully set up artillery positions, and the black and swarthy artillery holes were aimed at the south gate one by one, which made people feel a little creepy.

"Quick, block the south gate with earth and stones!" When Huang Taiji saw it, he immediately issued an order, otherwise as long as so many Hongyi cannons rang out with one round of cannons, the city gate would be blasted open.

As he spoke, the flintlock muskezeers under the city saw it, and some of them came after him, as if intending to shoot him.

When the Manchus fought a war, there was a tactic, that is, to capture the thief and capture the king first. They will organize archers in the army, specially used to shoot the enemy's generals. Years of experience have proven that this style of play is very effective.

One of the most famous examples is that in the original history, when the Manchu Qing invaded the Central Plains and attacked the Great Western Kingdom established by Zhang Xianzhong, they shot Zhang Xianzhong before the war began, resulting in almost no resistance to the Great Western Army and a complete defeat.

Huang Taiji knew the range of the musket, and knew that it was basically impossible for the Ming army musketeers to shoot themselves in the position where the musketeers of the Ming army were standing. Therefore, he didn't care, and continued to observe the artillery positions of the Ming Kingdom, and gave orders. What he was most concerned about at this time was that after the Ming army's Hongyi artillery could not collapse the city gate, it would definitely aim to collapse the city wall. At that time, how should he defend! In any case, it must be supported until dark, only then, or there will be a chance of clearing.

However, he didn't care, Ao Bai, as the commander of his personal guards, was still very concerned, and hurriedly stepped forward, while directing the personal guards to block in front of Huang Taiji, while persuading Huang Taiji: "Your Majesty, it's too dangerous here, let's avoid it!" ”

Huang Taiji smiled when he heard this, and said indifferently: "As the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, how can I be afraid of the Ming army outside the city. As for the kind of musket of the Ming army, no matter how good the quality is, the range is also there, can it really hit me? In any case, as the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, I must ......"

As soon as he said this, he heard a sound of "Woo Woo Woo" outside the city.

Huang Taiji was disturbed by this voice, and he didn't continue to speak, and then, he felt his ears numb, and then he felt a sharp pain. Taken aback, he stretched out his hand to touch it, but before he could see it, he saw Ao Bai standing in front of him, his face showed a painful look, as if he wanted to turn his head to look, and seemed to want to reach out and touch his head, but he couldn't do anything, his body threw himself forward, and he fell down.

At this time, a guard had already swooped over and threw Huang Taiji to the ground. At this time, Huang Taiji didn't care about the pain, but just looked at Ao Bai, who happened to be face to face with him on the ground, very puzzled. I saw that blood was overflowing from Ao Bai's mouth, his eyes looked at Huang Taiji, as if he wanted to speak, but he couldn't speak, and after a few dying struggles, he didn't move, obviously returning to the west.

At this time, Huang Taiji found that Aobai's fatal wound was a hole in the back of his head, bleeding. In connection with the sound of muskets that rang out outside the city just now, he immediately understood that Ao Bai had been killed by a musket.

What kind of bad luck was this, that he was shot in the back of the head with a musket? The martial arts of Ao Bai is the crown of the Qing Dynasty, and he died like this? This...... Is this really the end of the Qing Dynasty?

Huang Taiji came up with such an idea, and saw that the Qing soldiers standing on the outside of the city wall, especially those with a bit of official rank, fell to the ground one by one, and all died from musket headshots. Suddenly, he was dumbfounded.

If it is just Ao Bai who was shot in the head with a musket outside the city, it can also explain that Ao Bai's luck is extremely bad, but so many people are shot by muskets, it is not the reason for luck. The muskets in the hands of the Ming army outside the city were far more accurate than the muskets he had ever seen!

Thinking of this, Huang Taiji couldn't help but be very surprised and desperate: When did the Ming army have such a powerful musket? At the same time, he also understood that it was his luck that his ear was injured. If it weren't for luck, it is estimated that the end at this time would be the same as the Ao Bai in front of you!

Thinking of this, his heart was not happy, but desperate! The artillery of the Ming army is already difficult to deal with, and now this musket is so powerful, how can the Qing Dynasty defend it? The reinvigorated morale was unconsciously consumed by the cruel reality.

At this time, the flintlock pikemen outside the city were very remorseful. One of them didn't realize at all, his shot shot the so-called first warrior of the Manchu Qing Dynasty gave a headshot, he just regretted that he didn't give the slave chief a headshot, otherwise, this credit would be great.

The rifled flintlock pistol appeared for the first time on the battlefield, and it completely showed his advantages in range and accuracy. This situation also saw those ordinary flintlock muskeers, all of whom were very envious.

They could only watch the rifled flintlock pistols wield, and they had to comfort themselves that the loading speed of these rifled flintlock pistols was too slow, and they still had to rely on the guys in their hands to really fight!

Unfazed, the rifled flintlock musketeers continued to search for heads, demonstrating their hard-honed headshot skills. At the same time, between heaven and earth, an earth-shattering voice suddenly sounded.

"Boom", on the artillery position of the Ming army, the smoke suddenly came out, almost at the same time, I saw a hole smashed out of the south gate of the Tiger Skin Station, the city gate was broken, but the soil had been blocked inside, and this iron bullet could not penetrate the city gate.

Seeing this, the commander on the artillery position immediately issued an order to adjust the firing parameters, and after a while, another Hongyi cannon suddenly let out a roar, and the cannon that burst out immediately smashed on the battlements of the Tiger Skin Post City, and the battlements collapsed in the sound of "bang". It's just a city wall piled up of earth, not a fortified city like Shenyang and Liaoyang, and it can't withstand the fury of Hongyi's cannons at all.

Huang Taiji, who was already hiding in a safe place, heard the roar of artillery and the movement from the city, and his face suddenly turned like ashes. He had been fighting with the Ming army for a long time, and he understood that the two guns just now were just the Ming army testing the guns and adjusting the shooting accuracy. But this test artillery is so accurate, and the intermediate process is so short, which shows that the ability of the Ming army's artillery is very strong. Even if there are Hongyi cannons on the head of the city, with the gap in the gunners alone, the Qing Dynasty cannot be the opponent of the Ming army.

Just as he thought, just a few blinks of an eye, outside the city, there was a sudden sound of "boom, boom, boom, ......boom", a continuous roar, this sound, earth-shattering, it seems that the whole heaven and earth, there is only this sound.

This is the roar of artillery, the iron bullet of revenge, venting the anger of the Ming Dynasty and representing the justice of civilization, all smashed on the city wall that the Manchu soldiers relied on to protect. All of a sudden, the mud on the top of the city splashed, and the dust raised suddenly filled the air, covering half of the tiger skin post city.

The roar of fifty Hongyi cannons was just such a round, and in the dust, I saw the outer city wall on the south side of the Tiger Skin Post City, as if it had been smashed with a hammer, and it was a piece shorter than the other city walls.

The Manchu soldiers hiding in the inner side of the city wall were either beaten by the splashed stones and bleeding to the ground, or they were crying for their lives, or as if they had just come out of the mud, and their bodies were covered with dust. In the face of such a powerful artillery bombardment, the Manchu soldiers who survived by luck, and the Manchu soldiers whose morale had been revived, were all frightened, even if the military discipline was strict, even if the emperor was in the city, they fled the city wall one by one regardless of the roar of their buzzing heads, and even a few of them jumped off the city wall in a panic.

Flesh and blood, no matter how high the morale is, how can it stop the roar of civilization! The progress of the times!

Before the Manchu soldiers in the Tiger Skin Post City had time to catch their breath and recover from their panic, the artillery positions of the Ming army outside the city once again resounded with a deafening roar of artillery.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

This voice is like the thunder god coming into the world, severely punishing the demons and monsters in the world! This voice, even more of a vengeful roar, announced that the time had come to settle the account with the executioner whose hands were stained with the blood of the people of Liaodong.

Inside the city wall, although he was hiding in a safe place, Huang Taiji was desperate, and Ji'er Harang was also desperate, even if he was unwilling, scolded Huang Taiji angrily, and scolded Dai Shan, who had demoralized, he was also desperate. The Hongyi cannon of the Ming army is huge, and the gunners are even more skilled, and the city wall of the tiger skin post cannot support the dark at all. Why do you want to fight to the death with the Ming army outside the city?

In the distance outside the city, although he has seen the power of the Hongyi cannon, it is the first time that Hong Chengchou has seen so many scenes of Hongyi cannons firing together. It was the first time I had seen the strength of the gunners of the new army. At this time, when he saw the dusty Tiger Skin Station, under the roar of artillery fire, the wall like paper paste, he understood in his heart, why did the cavalry led by him just come to appear, and the emperor only needed the new army to attack the Tiger Skin Station?

There is no other reason, because the new army will be enough to ravage the Manchu soldiers in the city!

Thinking so, he turned his head to look at the young emperor, and found that the emperor was looking at the tiger skin post with an indifferent expression on his face, as if the scene in front of him was not unexpected by him at all. For such a huge power shown by the Hongyi cannon, it seems that he doesn't care at all!

He couldn't help but admire it, His Majesty was really not shocked, he could calm down, and he was indeed a wise lord who did great things!

He naturally didn't know that the Chongzhen Emperor in front of him had seen a real scene of ten thousand cannons firing at once, of course, it was in the movie, this kind of shelling in front of him, in comparison, was just pediatrics, what was there to be excited about!
