Chapter 227: The Desire for Victory

Soon, they couldn't laugh anymore. What spewed out of the black tube of the Ming army was not artillery, but a black, viscous liquid.

The strange smell began to permeate, and the Jurchens didn't care. Suddenly, Dolgon screamed and said, "Be careful of the Ming army's poisoning." ”

The Jurchen warriors immediately held their breath and secretly scolded the Ming army for being shameless. A grip on the horse's belly, ready to charge. Behead this group of vicious and insidious Han people under the horse.

Zhang Hao was behind the battle, holding the binoculars sent by the Beijing Arsenal in his hand, and said with a smile: "These Tartars still think we are releasing poison, you see them pinching their noses and covering their mouths, it's really funny." ”

"Dudu, don't have fun, the Jurchens charge as fast as lightning, light the fire!"

"Okay, ignition."

The winds on the prairie are often changeable. Zhang Hao invited the most senior border people and asserted that the east wind would not stop blowing today. The Ming army ignited a little fire and spread on the grassland in an instant by the wind. The Manchurians naturally wailed and cursed, and even the Mongols on this side scolded loudly.

The most important thing in the grassland is pasture, and without pasture, all the land is meaningless. The desert is so great that no king will conquer it. The Ming army's trick was a desperate plan, the grass was dry and scorched, and the grassland that had been dry for a year was burned in case of fire. When the fire was about to be uncontrollable, Zhang Hao waved the order flag in time, and the 100,000 army turned around and fled, fleeing to the Great Wall on the nine sides of Shaanxi and Gansu.

The neat steps, the smiling faces, said that they did not know in advance, and did not believe the killing of the Mongols. This is clearly a well-planned desperate plan to make it difficult for the people on this grassland to survive.

Lin Danhan's eyes were torn, and he scolded the eighteenth generation of Zhang Hao's ancestors in his heart. When the foundation is lost, the hearts of men will be scattered. The last thing Lin Dan Khan did was to lead all his men who were still loyal to him and surrender.

Although many people were burned to death by the fire, their strength was still strong, but unfortunately the weight was difficult to transfer, and most of them were burned away. Without the secret support of the Jin merchants, their grain and grass were particularly scarce, which made it even worse.

Huang Taiji, who had been overjoyed by the surrender of the Mongols, laughed and scolded Zhang Hao for this as a great gift to them, and was about to gather his disgraced men and march to Datong. According to his plan, it is not impossible to enter the Central Plains with the power of victory this time. However, first gave him a ruthless blow, and the messenger from Sheng Jing finally arrived, and the news that the rear was ravaged by the Ming army came, and the big tent was suddenly silent.

He also calculated to bypass Shanhaiguan and go straight to Beijing. Unexpectedly, Sheng Jing was also remembered, it was really a recipe for stealing chickens and rice. If Jianzhou is in chaos, this group of elite soldiers will be homeless and alone. The end can only be a dead end.

In desperation, Huang Taiji had no choice but to abandon the newly surrendered Mongols and return to the dynasty. Lin Dan Khan looked at the sky speechlessly, they had already reached the Ming Realm, and these Jurchens actually left like this. Isn't that going to be a declaration of war against the Ming Dynasty? Now that you have come to the Ming Realm, you can simply turn your heart and surrender to the Ming army.

Zhang Hao beat gongs and drums to warmly welcome the Mongols to change their minds and abandon darkness and turn to the light. Lin Dan Khan, who had just entered Shanxi, was immediately politely invited to the capital, and his tribe was settled on the spot, while he himself was sent to the capital and made an idle apartment. If you want to say that Lin Dan Khan and the Mongols hate the most in their hearts now, it is undoubtedly Zhang Hao, this kid is too yin, since the beginning of the war, he has not lost a single soldier, but the Mongols and Jurchens are happy to kill.

Halfway through, Huang Taiji received a message that made him sad and happy - Dai Shanzhan died.

This big Baylor died without any heroism, although he was extremely brave and resourceful in battle, but he was helpless to suppress the firepower. A cannonball that was about to die happened to fall beside him, and the two banner owners were blown into flesh foam.

Dai Shan's death means that Huang Taiji's sweat position is more secure, but it also illustrates a problem, that is, after the Ming army this time, the situation is very urgent.

Huang Taiji offered a heavy reward to speed up the team's advance, but the wind and weather in Mongolia helped him.

Fortunately, the Jurchens are hard-working and have strict military discipline, and anyone who dares to drag it out will be beheaded on the spot.

Zhao Hong had already cleared the area of Jinzhou in Ningyuan, and was just about to continue his march to the east, just in time for Huang Taiji to withdraw his troops. As soon as the two sides met, they immediately entered a white-hot battle.

Muskets and sabers collide together, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.

In the afternoon, the day was about to pass, and the moon was still in the sky at night. It has been a long time since Zhao Hong has braved the arrow stone and raised his authority on the battlefield. Holding the silver spear of his youth, he came up and charged forward, fearless.

After the three shots, the two forces collided together, and the weakness of the Akito was their experience. But this time it was different, what Zhao Hong brought was only some soldiers and horses that had been gathered by a year's rebellion. Both sides are warriors, the difference is that on the Jurchen side, there are warriors who have been hungry for three days. On the side of the Ming Army, in the new deal that pays attention to the particularity, the principle of elite soldiers raises old soldiers. Not to mention that these people have balanced nutrition, and even when they eat, they have to have many logistics soldiers to serve them.

There is also a steady stream of vegetables, grain, and ammunition, which come from the sea, and the logistics troops also include the transportation troops, and there is no need to go to the front line to fight.

This is a real contest, there is no Zhang Hao's ghost tricks, and there is no Yuan Keli relying on the warship and pouring artillery fire. This is the collision of knives and knives, the confrontation between horses and horses, and the fight between the strongest soldiers in the era of cold weapons.

is different from Zhang Hao's side, there are all hairy boys. Zhao Hong brought together famous generals, Cao Wenzhao, Cao Bianjiao, Huang Degong, Zu Dashou, Man Gui... All of them are famous in Liaodong. With so many elite soldiers and strong generals gathered under his command, if he can't achieve results, where does Zhao Hong still have the face to see Zhu Yousong.

Huang Taiji's toothache has been committed again, and he is in a hurry, and he has already killed three Langzhong in a row. The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the commander cannot lose the ability to move and speak. Everyone elected Dolgon, who was emerging and had the highest status, as the interim commander, to lead everyone out of the predicament, return to Jianzhouwei, and fight to the death against the shameless Ming army.

The smoke of the war was not thick enough, and Zhu Yousong, who was far away in the capital, looked at the sky where there was no haze and looked to the northeast.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, there are frequent reports in Liaodong, this is something that has not happened for many years." A little eunuch seemed to see the emperor's thoughts, and opened his mouth to comfort.

Zhu Yousong ignored the relief of the little eunuch around him, and still stubbornly looked at the northeast, the people here have not been washed by the pigtail drama and a hundred years of humiliating history, and they can't understand the desire for victory in his heart.

Flowers and rivers are not allowed to be touched by foreign races.
