Chapter 217: Heroes Between the Two Kings
At the same time that Chongzhen and others received Gongsun Zhan's letter, Huang Taiji also received a letter from Dolgon, the content was similar, but it emphasized how shameless Gongsun Chan and Zhao Yun were, the Eight Banners Army was all soldiers, so that 80% of the men in the entire Manchu Qing Dynasty who were still in the prime of life went out with Huang Taiji, and the rest of the family except for the sheep was only the old and weak women and children, and Gongsun Chan and others would never let go, and they would kill when they saw it, especially children, Whether it is a baby waiting to be fed or a child who is not as tall as a wheel, he can't escape the fate of a knife, and even Zhao Yun, a benevolent general, used a butcher's knife to kill many children with his own hands.
This is not cruelty, but the inertia of war, these children play with knives at the age of five, play with bows at the age of eight, as long as they grow to thirteen or fourteen, they are a qualified or even excellent warrior, if you don't kill him today, tomorrow they will slaughter the people of the Ming Dynasty with a scimitar and a longbow.
It's just that the first battle slaughtered 6,000 people in Dolgon, which made Huang Taiji have a headache, this time he went to Dolgon to defend it, and the white flag in his hand was the strongest force second only to the three upper three flags of Zhenghuang and yellow Zhenglan, in addition to about 20,000 people of Liaodong Han troops, and they were defeated in the field battle?
Huang Taiji didn't think that Dolgon would be defeated, Gongsun Zhan's new white horse Yicong is indeed powerful, but his fourteenth brother is also a generation of famous generals, and this defeat is too fast!
The Manchu Qing and the Ming Dynasty were diametrically opposed, the Ming Dynasty mainly fought the city defense war, the field battle was only auxiliary, the city wall was thick and there were cannons to defend it, while the Manchu Qing Dynasty was mainly field warfare, supplemented by siege, as for the defense of the city, hehe, I didn't think about it.
Therefore, the city defense of Shenyangcheng is only less than a zhang high, and there is nothing to defend the city, and even the moat dug by the Ming Dynasty has been filled because it is in the way, which is not comparable to Yanjing City, which is known as the eight-armed Nezha City and has a city wall as tall as a hill.
What's more, the Manchurians won't defend the city! Not only Dolgon, there is no one in the Eight Banners Army from top to bottom who will defend the city, the Eight Banners athletes who grew up on horseback since childhood are all heroes and heroes on the horses, but they are all laps and legs when they get off the horse, and few people can even use long weapons except for bows and arrows.
Huang Taiji even thought more pessimistic than Chongzhen, Chongzhen still felt that he had to transport the cannons of Liaodong to break the city, and Huang Taiji thought... Cannon? Attacking Shen = Yang cannon has a hairy use! He, Gongsun Zhan, in this case, if he still needs a cannon to break the city, where is he worthy of being my Emperor Taiji's opponent!
It seems that there are only two ways left in front of Huang Taiji: retreat immediately, or continue to attack the city.
Obviously, now that the Ming Dynasty has decided to change its son, you come to fight the capital and I will fight Shenyang, none of us will suffer, just compare with you who is the fastest mother!
According to the iron rules on the battlefield, everything that the enemy hopes for must be what we hate, since Chongzhen wants to change his son, it seems that I should retreat immediately, and go from the north, never return from the west, so that the entire north can harm more than half, loot countless gold and silver wealth and silk at the same time piggyback on the Ming Dynasty's increasingly erosive economy and poke a hole, your grandson Zhan is not just to kill some of my old and weak women and children and sheep, is it great to set fire to the grassland? In this way, we still don't seem to suffer.
But who is he Huang Taiji? He Huang Taiji is a talented Li Shimin who is roughly comparable to the Han people! He is the current hero who led the Jurchens with a total population of less than 200,000 to the present day and established the Qing Dynasty step by step! The thunder is heavy and the rain is small, so go back to face the devastated nest?
He's not reconciled!!
He turned around and asked: "General Li, now that the letter of the fourteenth brother asking for help has arrived, since he has been defeated in the field battle, I am afraid that this Shen-Yang City must not be able to hold for a long time, I don't know if according to General Li's opinion, will this Khan continue to attack Yanjing, or will he return to help immediately?" ”
In this world, there are not many people who are worthy of his Huang Taiji to speak so respectfully, I saw an old man who looked like he was in his old age resting on the thick wolf skin mattress in his golden tent, and when he closed his eyes, he looked like he had one foot in a coffin, as if he could die at any time, but the moment that one eye opened, it seemed that there was a fierce and dazzling light in his eyes, and the aura of slaughter came to his face, it was the leader of the Shatuo people, the godfather of the Thirteen Taibao: Li Keyong!
After going around for so long, this Li Keyong finally successfully met with Huang Taiji, and as Qin Hao thought, Huang Taiji expressed a warm welcome, and on the same day, he drew a large area of grassland for the Shatuo people to graze horses.
"Great Khan, 40,000 Shatuo athletes are ready, just need an order from the Great Han, they can appear on the battlefield at the end of the Ming Dynasty at any time, and do their best for the Han Dynasty to dominate the world, no matter whether these 40,000 Erlang appear here or in Shenyang, the Great Khan we will win!"
"Hahaha, the Shatuo people are invincible, all are male soldiers, there are generals to help Ben Khan, why worry about big things, Ben Khan is confident that within a month, without waiting for the Quartet Qin Wang army to arrive, he will first break his Forbidden City, cut off Chongzhen's head and use his skull to drink with the general. However, Shen Yang really can't help it, not to mention that the soldiers are all in the rear, once the news is spread, the fear of the army will immediately be dissipated, and I also ask General Li to divide an army to borrow my fourteenth brother to defend against the enemy. ”
"Hahaha, the old man has two sons, Li Cunxuan, the way of using soldiers in the battle array has reached the peak, and he has never been defeated in battles in his life, and he has the ability of Han Xinbai to lead 30,000 Shatuo warriors to help the Great Khan conquer the Jingshi."
"Good! The life of Li Cunqing, the first god of war of the fifth generation, and this Khan is also like thunder, with this person to help me, I believe that Chongzhen is already a dry bone in the grave. ”
"The old man and his youngest son Li Cunxiao, known as the most fierce in the world, insist on charging in a sharp battle formation, have the courage of ten thousand people, and the five thousand flying tiger army under his command are the first elite soldiers in the world, everyone is well-trained and superb in martial arts, and they are not afraid of death when they fight, but they can rush to the aid of Dolgon, and they are only Gongsun Zhan, and they will be destroyed with their backhands!"
"Hahahaha, the name of the Flying Tiger General is even more shocking to the past and the present, five thousand Flying Tiger Cavalry swept the world without any rival, and the eighteen cavalry broke through Chang'an, Ben Khan always regretted that he had no chance to meet such a hero."
"Hahaha, I'm a Shatuo person with thirteen Taibao, which one is not a genius, and no one in the world can compare, but it's a pity that Emperor Ming is cunning, and he lost nine in a battle a few days ago, and the old man hates it! After attacking the capital, Chongzhen Xiaoer and Lu Xiangsheng, the old man wanted to eat their flesh raw! ”
"General Lee's words are wrong."
"Oh? What's the difference? ”
"Although the Thirteen Taibao are all heroes in the world, but according to what Ben Khan has seen, there is one person who is even more heroic, and I am afraid that only this person is worthy of being the crown of the world."
"Oh? Who are you referring to, Great Khan? ”
"Haha, of course, you are the one who single-handedly trained these thirteen heroes of the world! According to Ben Khan's eyes, you are the number one hero in the world! ”
"Oh? Hahaha, don't dare to be, don't dare to be, the Great Khan has the world in his heart, and Li Mou has only seen it in his life, you are the real number one hero in the world, hahahaha. ”
