Chapter 641: Haoge wants to take the lead! [Ask for a monthly pass!] 】
(0641)
Tartars also have clairvoyant mirrors, all of which were obtained from Kong Youde. Kong Youde's clairvoyant mirror, of course, was obtained from Sun Yuanhua. During the Apocalypse, the clairfront mirror was officially introduced to China from the West, and Xu Guangqi, the minister at that time, bought about ten. For various reasons, some of these clairvoyants fell into the hands of the Tartars. It's just that the Tartar doesn't have glass in his hands and can't make his own clairvoyants, so the number of clairvoyants is still so small that he can't even have an identity like Azig.
Looking through the clairvoyant mirror, Dongjiabao looked very quiet, with only a red tiger army flag fluttering. For this red tiger army flag, Huang Taiji of course hated it. In the past six months or so, Huang Taiji has often had nightmares, dreaming that he was stabbed through the abdomen by this red flag, and all his internal organs and all his internal organs flowed out. It's just that he hasn't lost his breath yet, and he is crawling and crawling on the ground, holding out a long bloody path in his body, and the scene is very miserable.
Behind the flag of the Tiger Army, Huang Taiji could vaguely see the soldiers of the Tiger Army in gray military uniforms. For this gray and strange military uniform, Huang Taiji's resentment is also very deep. Nothing else, every time the Dajin Army played against these tiger soldiers in gray military uniforms, they never won a favor. So far, there have been thousands of warriors of the Dajin Army who have been buried in the hands of the Tiger Ben Army. Since the founding of the country, Dajin has never suffered such a loss. Huang Taiji felt deeply pressured
This time, Huang Taiji can be said to have exhausted the strength of the whole country of Dajin, and also brought in the Mongols and Koreans to find trouble with Zhang Zhun. If Zhang Zhun can't be completely eliminated this time, the pressure on Dajin Guo will be even greater in the future. These perverted tiger soldiers, that perverted Zhang Zhun, are all demons. Immortal Heaven must bless the Great Jin Army and eradicate them completely.
Huang Taiji spent almost half a month adjusting the deployment of the Dajin Army, and at the same time learned everything about Zhang Zhun and the Tiger Ben Army. Now he believes that he has fully understood Zhang Zhun and fully understood the Tiger Benjun. This small Dongjiabao, under the iron hooves of the Dajin Army, will soon be reduced to nothing.
It's a pity that Huang Taiji didn't see Zhang Zhun, and Zhang Zhun didn't see Huang Taiji either. Both of them were in relatively hidden places, so as not to be plotted by the other party's Hongyi cannon. The range of the Hongyi cannon is too long, as long as you come up, you may be hit by the Hongyi cannon. At the beginning, Nurhachi was because he did not have such a cautious concept, and if he was not careful, he was bombarded by the Hongyi cannon, and then the dragon returned to the sky.
"Zhang Zhun is indeed in Dongjiabao?"
Huang Taiji's face was solemn and said slowly.
The purpose of his personal southward movement was to deal with Zhang Zhun with his own hands. He was going to kill this guy who was going to make trouble for Dajin with his own hands. If Zhang Zhun is not in Dongjiabao, it will be in vain. Although the intelligence showed that Zhang Zhun was indeed in Dongjiabao, Huang Taiji still had to confirm it again and again. He was not afraid of Zhang Zhun, but worried that he had done useless work, and then let Zhang Zhun run away. As for failure, Huang Taiji never thought about it.
This time, the Dajin Kingdom has tried its best to the south, and the soldiers are strong and strong, how can it fail? Look at the current Ming State officials and soldiers, all of them are like quails, they only dare to watch obediently from the side, and they don't dare to make a move on the Dajin Army at all, you can imagine their fear of the Dajin Army. No matter how strong this Zhang Zhun's combat power is, the Dajin Army will completely crush him.
"Report to Father Khan, Zhang Zhun is indeed in Dongjiabao."
"The scout reported that Zhang Zhun had just returned to Dongjiabao from the south."
Hauge next to him said loudly.
He is the main force in this attack on Dongjiabao, and it is the opportunity that Huang Taiji specially left for him to make a name for himself, and Haoge must of course firmly seize it. Therefore, Haoge is very concerned about Dongjiabao's intelligence. Around Dongjiabao, Hauge sent a large number of Tartar scouts. When Zhang Zhun returned to Dongjiabao from Jinan City, he was discovered by the Tartar scouts.
"Push the redcoat cannon out."
"Bomb Dongjiabao well."
Huang Taiji took a deep breath and said coldly.
Convinced that Zhang Zhun was indeed in Dongjiabao, Huang Taiji's fighting spirit immediately burned. Zhang Zhun, Zhang Zhun, you have finally been caught. You are unscrupulous on the sea, relying on the power of the naval artillery, I can't catch you, but now, you are actually trapped in such a lonely Dongjiabao, it is purely to find your own death, Changsheng Tian's eyes are open, and let you kill yourself
He was determined to use a sharp weapon like a red-coated cannon at the beginning to raze Dongjiabao to the ground first. Since the Battle of Dalinghe, Huang Taiji has been quite confident in the power of the red-coated cannon. Although the top brass of the Daejin Kingdom still resisted the use of muskets. However, a consensus on the use of artillery was gradually reached. As a result, within the Dajin Army, the number of cannons is increasing.
In fact, in the fifth year of Tiancong, the father of the artillery of the Dajin Kingdom, the original Han army banner owner Tong Yangxing, cast forty powerful artillery pieces and showed them to Huang Taiji. It was the first artillery that the Daikin Army had. It's just that because the Tartar's own cannon casting technology is not up to par, these forty cannons did not really exert their power, and they were basically scrapped in training.
It wasn't until Kong Youde took refuge and brought a large number of Hongyi cannons, as well as cannon casting craftsmen, and even Portuguese technicians, that Dajin Guo could be regarded as mastering the real cannon casting technology. With the strong support of Huang Taiji, the red-coated cannon cast by the Dajin Army is quite powerful. Because he didn't like the word "Yi" in the Hongyi cannon, Huang Taiji ordered it to be renamed the red-clothed cannon. In fact, the Hongyi cannon is the red-coated cannon, and the red-coated cannon is the Hongyi cannon, and the two are fundamentally the same thing.
This time, the Han Army Banner brought a total of thirty-six Hongyi cannons, and the lineup was quite strong. Huang Taiji wanted to strike first and give Zhang Zhun's troops a little color to see. Looking at it from the clairvoyant mirror, the city wall of Dongjiabao is not very strong, and the height is not very high, which is just a good opportunity for the red-coated cannons to rage. As long as there is a series of shelling, the walls of Dongjiabao may be directly collapsed.
As long as there is no cover of the city wall, the cavalry of the Dajin Army and the cavalry of the Mongolian Eight Banners can quickly flatten all the opponents as soon as they rush up. This time, Huang Taiji brought 60,000 or 70,000 cavalry, and there were more than 100,000 war horses alone. Sixty or seventy thousand cavalry, what kind of concept is that?
In Huang Taiji's opinion, such a force is enough to sweep the entire northern part of the Ming Kingdom. Now it is used to deal with Zhang Zhun, it is really a knife to kill chickens, and it is useless. But in order to catch Zhang Zhun, he decided to use this knife to kill chickens. He just wants to see if Zhang Zhun has any way to avoid his knife
"Obedience"
"Immediate shelling"
Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming, the banner owners of the Han army, hurriedly received the order.
The owner of the Tartar Han Army Banner turned out to be Tong Yangxing, that is, the father of the Tartar artillery. After Tong Yang died, he was replaced by Kong Youde. After Kong Youde was trapped in Dengzhou City, he could not directly command the Han army banner, so Huang Taiji appointed two more banner owners on the left and right, one was Shang Kexi and the other was Geng Zhongming. Huang Taiji divided the Han military flag into two parts, and the two commanded one part respectively. The two are directly responsible for Huang Taiji and do not belong to each other.
After receiving the order, Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming hurriedly ordered their respective red-coated cannons to be pushed out and bombarded at Dongjiabao. The place where the red-coated cannon was placed was about five miles away from Dongjiabao. Such a distance, on the one hand, can ensure the safety of the cannon, and on the other hand, it can ensure the power of the cannon. As long as the iron ball shot out smashes into the wall of Dongjiabao, it can make a gap in the city wall. The main hit iron ball is enough, and the walls of Dongjiabao can all be blown down.
"My lord, the Tartar's Hongyi cannon"
On the side of the Tiger Army, the observation post soon discovered the movement of the Tartars.
Zhang Zhun raised the clairvoyant mirror, searched carefully, and sure enough, he found the red-clothed cannon of the Tartar.
No wonder the Tartars did not move south, it turned out that they were to drag these red-coated cannons to the front line. With the personality of the Tartars, they actually know how to use the red-clothed cannon to take the lead, and it seems that the Tartars' tactics are gradually in line with the world, if they are like Azig, if they come to shoot around the city, the Tiger Ben Army will definitely give them a head-on blow. Now......
"Dodge"
"No Return Fire"
Zhang Zhun said in a deep voice, and then turned to leave the city wall.
Except for a very few observation posts, the other Tiger Ben soldiers also quickly left the city wall. A moment later, on the head of Dongjiabao, there was only the flag of the lone Tiger Ben Army fluttering.
In order to prevent the bombardment of the red-coated artillery, the cave of the Tibetan soldiers has been dug in advance in Dongjiabao. All the walls have been specially reinforced. The reinforcement is made of cement concrete mortar, which is up to one and a half feet thick, which is much stronger than ordinary clay and lime. The solid bullet of the Hongyi cannon, hitting the thick concrete, is at most a hole, and it is absolutely impossible to smash a big hole.
In fact, at a distance of five miles, it is indeed a bit difficult to fire a solid bullet and directly hit the city wall of Dongjiabao. If you want to hit directly, it is best to advance to a distance of 100 zhang. The greatest power of the red-coated cannon, Zhang Zhun always felt that it was still in firing grapeshot, that was the real big killer
"Knock Knock"
"Knock Knock"
"Knock Knock"
Soon after, the Tartars' Hongyi cannon rang out.
One by one, huge iron bumps smashed towards Dongjiabao.
"Bang Bang Bang"
"Bang Bang Bang"
"Bang Bang Bang"
One by one, huge iron balls smashed down and smashed into all corners of Dongjiabao, making terrifying sounds. The size of these iron balls is larger than the two fists of adults, and the weight of each is more than 20 catties. It is conceivable what kind of effect such a big iron ball will have when it is smashed down.
In fact, after careful calculation, there are not many solid bullets that really fall in Dongjiabao, and the hit rate of ancient cannons, when firing solid bullets, is definitely a tragedy. Especially when launched at a distance of five miles, the hit rate is really pitifully low. However, the power of solid bullets is quite large, as long as it hits, even a stone wall, it will be smashed and collapsed in pieces.
Therefore, as long as there is a local gunshot, the consequences will be very serious. It's like an ancient trebuchet, when a boulder falls, it always causes a series of subsequent reactions. Sometimes, the whole house, the whole mud wall, collapsed completely, making a deafening sound. If there is no special facility protection, no professional organization, and insufficient psychological preparation, it is inevitable to cause panic.
The Tiger Ben Army has fully carried out relevant psychological interventions and has a good psychological quality to deal with the shelling of the Tartars. What's more, the Tiger Ben Army knows that the Tiger Ben Army itself also has Hongyi cannons, but they haven't fired them for the time being. Therefore, even if the cannons of the Tartars are raging, everyone's mood is relatively calm, and there will be no panic.
Zhang Zhun and others hid in the cave and quietly let the red-clothed cannons of the Tartars rage. The red-coated cannons of the Tartars were constantly firing, and from time to time they were in the corners of Dongjiabao, causing damage. There were even people who were injured. However, everyone's mood is calm. Because, as everyone knows, it's not time to fight back.
"The Tiger Army didn't fight back?"
After a burst of shelling, Shang Kexi felt that something was not quite right.
Although he had never been in contact with the Tiger Army, he knew that the Tiger Army was definitely not an easy opponent. In the more than ten years since the establishment of the Dajin Kingdom, for the first time, it was the Tiger Ben Army that made the Dajin Kingdom suffer a big loss. Especially in recent months, the Tiger Ben Army has fanned the flames everywhere and started wars everywhere, which has made the life of the Dajin Army very sad, and many people have been killed and injured. As long as you talk about the Tiger Army, there is no one in the upper echelons of the Dajin Kingdom who does not gnash their teeth.
Since taking refuge in the Dajin Kingdom, Shang Kexi and his subordinates have been confined to the military camp near Shenyang, without permission, and cannot go out easily. Therefore, Shang Kexi is relatively slow to grasp the information of the outside world, and he himself is not very sensitive to the information of the outside world. However, the battle between the Tiger Ben Army and the Dajin Army was known to the entire Dajin Kingdom, and it was impossible for Shang Kexi not to know.
Every time he hears the news of the Tiger Army, Shang Kexi has mixed feelings, full of flavors, and doesn't know what he feels like. Shang Kexi actually didn't want to be a traitor. No one is born willing to be a traitor, not even Fan Wencheng. If Fan Wencheng could be admitted to the Jinshi in the Ming Kingdom, he would not have ventured to the Dajin Kingdom to eat mixed rice. Similarly, if Shang Kexi had other ways out, he would not take the initiative to take refuge in the Tartars.
However, it is too late to say this. Now he is a veritable traitor. Since he took refuge in Dajin Kingdom, he had no choice but to firmly tie his fate to the fate of Dajin Kingdom. Because, for traitors and traitors, the Ming country's handling methods must be to exterminate the family. Maybe the small soldiers below may have escaped because of the mercy of an adult, but as the commander of the surrendered army, Shang Kexi has absolutely no reason to be exempted.
Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, Shang Kexi...... The three of them, no matter who fell into the hands of the Ming people, would not be forgiven. They will definitely be passed on by the imperial court like thieves. Thinking of Kong Youde, Shang Kexi felt a little bitter, a little helpless, a little lucky, and a little confused.
I don't know what happened to Kong Youde and them in Dengzhou City. After being besieged for so long, I believe that Kong Youde will definitely live a very painful life. It's all fate, creation makes people, and there is no choice. Fortunately, it was Kong Youde who was besieged in Dengzhou City, not him. Otherwise, his life will really be a tragedy.
"Whatever?"
"Maybe the Tiger Army doesn't have a red-coat cannon"
Geng Zhongming next to him pursed his lips and said disapprerovingly.
Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi are different. Geng Zhongming likes the feeling of being a traitor. Shang Kexi was the latest to take refuge in the Tartars, and there was a bit of forced reluctance. Geng Zhongming felt bad, so he took the lead in taking refuge in Tartar, completely out of initiative. After taking refuge in the Tartars, Geng Zhongming also actively offered his courtesy to the high-level of the Tartars, and constantly suggested to the high-level of the Dajin Kingdom, hoping to strengthen the management of the Han people in Liaodong, and also actively acted as the executioner of the Han people.
Regarding his traitor status, Geng Zhongming doesn't care at all. He believes that as long as he follows Dajin Guo, he can eat and drink spicy food. In the face of his former companions, the current Ming State officials and soldiers, Geng Zhongming has never been soft. This time in the south, among all the teams of the Han Army Banner, the one who was the most ruthless to his own people was Geng Zhongming's troops.
Out of the need to plunder the population, there were not many opportunities for the Tartars to slaughter the city, but Geng Zhongming's troops were very active in slaughtering the city. As long as Geng Zhongming's troops participated in the battle, the people in the city were killed by them, and they did not let go of the old and young, women and children. Even Hauge couldn't help but laugh at Geng Zhongming's ruthlessness and unrighteousness in public. Geng Zhongming was not only ashamed, but proud.
However, Geng Zhongming's active dedication and bloody killings have caused some counterproductive effects at the top of the Dajin Kingdom. After all, no one wants to see such a guy who has no affection at all. The Ming Kingdom is Geng Zhongming's motherland, and Geng Zhongming is a Han Chinese, but killing the Han people is even more ferocious and bloody than the Dajin Army. His killing was not at all out of the needs of war, but a real psychological distortion and psychopath.
Now that the Dajin country is powerful, you are so vicious to the Ming country, if the situation in the Dajin country is not as good as the people one day, won't you kid turn his face immediately? If you are still so ruthless to your own people, if you kill people in the future, won't you be even more ruthless? Therefore, in the eyes of the high-level leaders of Dajin State, Geng Zhongming's status is not as important as Shang Kexi. Unfortunately, Geng Zhongming does not understand this. The more the high-level of the Dajin Kingdom looked down on him, the more perverted and murderous he became, thinking that this would please the high-level of the Dajin Kingdom.
"Impossible"
Shang Kexi disagreed with Geng Zhongming's opinion.
In his opinion, if the Tiger Ben Army was beaten passively like this, it must be abnormal. In the past half a year or so, the Tiger Army and the Dajin Army have fought many times, and they have never suffered losses, and each time they have retreated. On the contrary, the Dajin Army has lost a lot of vitality.
Since the Tiger Ben Army can cripple Azig's Zhenghong Banner, it means that they must have other tough means. And the red-coated cannon is one of the toughest means among them. What Shang Kexi was most worried about was the red-clothed cannons that Kong Youde brought to Dengzhou City at the beginning. No, those red-coated cannons are now in the hands of the Tiger Army.
"Azig says the Tiger Army doesn't have red-coated cannons"
Geng Zhongming said coldly arguing. For Shang Kexi, Geng Zhongming actually doesn't like it. Because Dajin Guo's trust in Shang Kexi is above him Geng Zhongming. He Geng Zhongming was so active in killing people, so active in killing so many Han people, and repeatedly slaughtering cities, but he was not praised by the upper echelons of the Dajin Kingdom, of course he was unwilling.
"Kong Youde's cannon may be in the hands of the Tiger Army."
Shang Kexi didn't argue with Geng Zhongming, but just said calmly.
Of course, Geng Zhongming didn't approve of Shang Kexi's idea, he immediately sneered at each other, and said coldly: "Don't think that Lao Kong is a fool The importance of the red-clothed cannon, he won't know that after coming to Shenyang, the first thing he offered was the red-clothed cannon, without the red-clothed cannon, what would he use to guard Dengzhou City?" Besides, even if Lao Kong is a fool, Fourteen Baylor is not a fool, right? How could he have forgotten such an important red-coated cannon? ”
Shang Kexi frowned and did not speak.
Since the Tiger Army captured the Tartar's red-coated cannon, the relevant news has been blocked, and the Tartar's fine work has not spied on this. In later battles, the Tiger Army also had few opportunities to use the red-coated cannons. And Dengzhou City has been heavily besieged, and the news inside cannot be sent out. Therefore, neither of them was sure whether Kong Youde's cannons really fell into the hands of the Tiger Army.
Whether the Tiger Army has a red-coated cannon in its hands is very crucial, and this is seriously related to the next strategy of the Dajin Army. The fate of the two traitors is now linked to the Dajin Kingdom, and they have to be treated with caution. If the Tiger Army does not have a red-coated cannon, the Dajin Army can let go of the attack. On the contrary, if the Tiger Army had red-coated cannons, the attack of the Dajin Army would be much more cautious.
"What are you talking about?"
The argument between the two caught Hauge's attention, and he rode over.
Shang Kexi hurriedly explained: "Lord Belle, the slave feels that something is wrong with Dongjiabao. We shelled Dongjiabao, but Dongjiabao did not return fire. I estimate that there are red-coated cannons in Dongjiabao. They didn't use the redcoat cannon to fight back, which means that they must have a ghost in their hearts, trying to use intrigue and trickery to our detriment. ”
Hauge frowned and said, "Are you sure there is a cannon there in Hangou?" Are you a little too worried? Maybe they don't have Hongyi cannons at all. Azig said no. ”
Shang Kexi said a little worriedly: "Those cannons that Kong Youde brought to Dengzhou City ......"
Because of the difficulty in transmitting the news, Hauge and the others did not know that the Tartars of Dengzhou City had been completely destroyed, and Dolgon, Duoduo and others were captured alive. Whether Kong Youde's red-clothed cannons fell into the hands of the Tiger Ben Army, Haoge didn't know. Therefore, Hauge said uncertainly: "Those cannons may still be in Dengzhou City." ”
Geng Zhongming liked to invite merit, and immediately said: "Lord Belle is right, the Tiger Ben Army in Dongjiabao must not have red-clothed cannons. If there were, they would have fought back. Isn't it nice to feel like this being pressed and beaten by us? The Ming people liked to use artillery the most, and it was impossible for them not to return fire. It's not that they don't want to, it's that they don't. ”
Haoge felt that Geng Zhongming's words made some sense. If the Tiger Army really had a red-coated cannon, it would definitely fight back, and it was impossible for the Dajin Army to bomb so comfortably. Judging from his combat experience with the Ming army, if the Ming army had artillery, it would definitely be dragged out as soon as possible and bombarded the Dajin army to prevent the Dajin army from approaching. Since the Tiger Ben Army did not return fire, it means that they did not have red-coated cannons.
Since the Tiger Ben Army did not have a red-clothed cannon, the slightest fear in Haoge's heart was all dispersed. Dealing with a small castle without a red-coated cannon to defend it, the Dajin Army is not a problem at all. He said arrogantly, "Even if they have a red-coated cannon, so what? Our thousands of troops and horses are enough to level Dongjiabao, and you continue to fire until the Tiger Ben army loses its temper."
Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming stopped talking and continued to order the cannonball.
Haoge returned to Huang Taiji's side and stared at Dongjiabao eagerly, as if a hunter had seen a rich prey. At this moment, Haoge is already looking forward to what kind of scene it would be if he led the army to level Dongjiabao and capture Zhang Zhun alive. I believe that by that time, his military exploits will definitely rank first in the Dajin Kingdom.
Huang Taiji asked casually, "What are they talking about?" ”
Hauge talked about the argument between Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming.
Huang Taiji's brows furrowed quietly, and he said slowly: "I'd rather believe it than believe it." If the Tiger Army suddenly fires red-coated artillery, the casualties of our army will inevitably be very large, so we still have to be careful. ”
Hauge was a little unimpressed. In his opinion, this dispatch of the Dajin Army can be described as a strong army, the ground is shaking, and the troops are unprecedentedly strong. And the city wall of Dongjiabao is only three zhang high, not even half of Jinzhou City, and it can be climbed with the simplest ladder, why did the Tiger Ben Army stick to Dongjiabao?
He even wanted the red-coated artillery to stop the bombardment and send troops directly to attack the city. This time to the south, the Dajin army prepared enough siege weapons and enough siege troops. The Han army flag and the Korean servant army will be the main force in attacking the fortification. Many of the infantry warriors of the Dajin Army were fully prepared to try to break into Dongjiabao first. Because it is a joint operation of multiple arms, the power of attacking the fortified positions is definitely much stronger than that of Azig's Zhenghong Banner.
Huang Taiji is Haoge's father, so he naturally understands Haoge's inner thoughts, and he doesn't say anything. As a father, he would like to see his son take the lead. In fact, he also believes that his son can take the lead. Seeing that the shelling time of the red-coated cannon was almost up, Huang Taiji said in a deep voice: "Order the troops, prepare to attack"
Hauge was suddenly in good spirits and went away in high spirits.
