Chapter 827: The whole army breaks through
readx; When Huang Taiji heard that the city wall of the Daling River had collapsed, he was first shocked, and then he was overjoyed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Because the Ming army fought against the Houjin basically to defend the city, if there is no protection of the city wall, it is completely slaughtered in the field.
Although the reinforcements just now broke through, Huang Taiji thought that first, the combat effectiveness of the Han Army Banner and the Mongolian Eight Banners was low, and second, he did not expect that there would be enemy soldiers coming from the direction of Jinzhou, and they were completely defenseless. Now it is different, in this direction has just been replaced by the most elite of the Eight Banners, the Yellow Flag, and the Great Khan is personally seated, and he is about to attack the city in the morning. Now the city walls have suddenly collapsed, for whatever reason, it is a godsend for the city!
Therefore, Huang Taiji Huo Ran got up and shouted: "The whole army is on the horse!" The red flag is blocking the east of the city, the blue flag is blocking the north of the city, the white flag is blocking the south of the city, the Mongolian Eight Banners and the Han Army Flag are in the back. ”
The generals agreed with a bang, but before they left the Yellow Dragon Tent, they heard an earth-shattering shouting and killing sound in the Great Linghe City, and I don't know how many horses spread their hooves and galloped at the same time, and even the ground under their feet trembled lightly because of this!
Huang Taiji hurriedly came out of the big tent to watch, couldn't help but gasp, and exclaimed: "The Ming army is about to break through!" ”
That's exactly what happened. That section of the wall was not blown up for no reason, of course, but the defenders gathered all the remaining ammunition together and detonated it at the same time. With the sound of a huge explosion, almost the entire western wall of the Daling River, which had just been built, was blown down, the city tower was also destroyed, and all the artillery was blown into scrap metal with a series of loud bangs.
At the same time, the fire in the city rose to the sky, and the grain depot, forage storehouse, and Jiazhan warehouse were ignited at the same time. Most of the houses in the city are wooden structures, the fire is still difficult to save, under the arson of man, it is rapidly spread to the whole city, the entire Dalinghe City instantly turned into a huge torch, the original dark blue night is reflected in a fiery red, can be seen clearly from a hundred miles away!
Before the smoke of the explosion had dissipated, tens of thousands of defenders shouted in unison, and then stepped over the newly blown up city wall and launched a desperate charge towards the Houjin camp. The purpose of Zhu Youzhen's blowing up of the city wall is this, because although the city wall can play a vital role in defending the city, but now it is to break through, if it comes out of the city gate, the speed is too slow, and the Houjin army has enough time to react. Now more than 30,000 defenders and nearly 6,000 reinforcements charged at the same time on a wide front, and in an instant, the whole army was out of the city!
The entire stormtrooper formation is roughly in the shape of a huge triangle. One thousand Guan Ning iron cavalry rushed to the front under the leadership of Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao's uncle and nephew, followed by the emperor's personal guard composed of Li Laiheng's three thousand light cavalry. Strangely, the two cavalry were not connected from end to end, and they were separated by a distance of nearly twenty zhang between the front and the back.
On the two flanks, Zu Dashou and He Kegang each led 10,000 cavalry, protecting more than 10,000 infantry in the center, and the broken general Man Gui led 3,000 Mongolian light cavalry. The Ming army had also fought with the Houjin army in the field before, but including the battle of Salhu, the Houjin army used extremely excellent mobility to divide and surround the Ming army, forming a situation of fighting more and fighting less on each battlefield, so the Ming army rarely had tens of thousands of horses to charge the Houjin army. Today, it was nearly 40,000 horses charging collectively, and that terrifying momentum, even if the experienced Huang Taiji saw it, he couldn't help but shudder!
But Huang Taiji was experienced after all, although he didn't expect that the reinforcements of the Ming army had just entered the city and would break through so quickly, he quickly calmed down, and glanced at the Ming army's position and calmed down. He knew very well in his heart that the only thing the Ming army could really fight was the 1,000 iron cavalry in front, and there was nothing to worry about behind. However, there was also a gap between their formations, which showed that the enemy general was not familiar with cavalry warfare.
And when he looked at it, he really found that there was a Huang Luo umbrella cover in the Ming army's array. When reporting the battle situation just now, the general of the Han army banner said that he had found the Huangluo umbrella cover, and the Ming army was demoralized and shouted long live when he saw it, which was also one of the reasons for the defeat of the Han army flag.
Huang Taiji did not believe that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty would drive the expedition in person. Compared with Nurhachi, he attached more importance to the collection of intelligence, and some shameless traitors were sent by him into the customs to collect intelligence in various important cities under the guise of merchants, and then sent back to Shenyang. Especially in the Jingshi, there are at least dozens of Houjin spies, as long as the Ming Court has a big move, within half a month, Huang Taiji will definitely get the news. In this day and age, this speed is already considered fast.
But Huang Taiji never received the news that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was on patrol, and the news sent back by the spies showed that everything was normal in Jingshi, but the emperor did not go to court for many days. This is also the old problem of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and Huang Taiji did not take it to heart.
Therefore, for the Huangluo umbrella cover that suddenly appeared in front of the battle, Huang Taiji thought that this must be the Ming army's trickery and use the emperor to boost morale. He smiled coldly and said, "Dolgon, Duoduo, you each lead ten Niulu to block the left and right flanks of the Ming army; Ben Khan is in the center, Aobai, now is the time for you to make meritorious contributions! ”
Ao Bai is a general with a yellow flag, known as the "first warrior of Manchuria", and before Huang Taiji was on the throne, he was his confidant and favorite general. At this time, seeing that Huang Taiji handed over the left and right wings to the two Baylors, and the most important middle lane to himself, he obviously took himself very seriously, and immediately overjoyed, and shouted: "Great Khan, please order!" ”
"The enemy's arrows are very sharp, and you lead a thousand white-armored soldiers..."
Before Huang Taiji finished speaking, Ao Bai was overjoyed and said: "The slave obeys the order!" Don't worry, what a bullshit arrow, the slave will give him a head-on blow! ”
"No, no, no," Huang Taiji sneered, "let the Mongolian Eight Banners take the lead, and deliberately let those thousand arrow troops rush over." Don't you see that the 1,000 cavalry is twenty feet away from the back? Ben Khan wants you to give way to the arrows and intercept the enemy's Chinese army like a wall! The Ming army is now charging with a fierce force, which in the words of the Han Chinese is called 'one go'. There is a Huang Luo umbrella cover in his Chinese army, as long as you take the Huang Luo umbrella cover, the Ming army will inevitably lose morale and collapse immediately. Do you understand? ”
"Got it!" Ao Bai agreed, and he had already ridden out, and a thousand of the most elite white-armored soldiers of the Eight Banners followed him closely, hiding behind the side of the Mongolian Eight Banners.
The Houjin camp was about five miles away from the Daling River city wall, and the distance of five miles was an instant for the cavalry charge. Huang Taiji's full yellow flag, a part of the yellow flag, as well as most of the Mongolian eight banners and the Han army flag have been waiting here, with a total strength of more than 60,000. In the other three directions, the Zhenghong, the white and blue flags were already rapidly launching a surprise attack on the undefended Dalinghe City, and now it was impossible for the Ming army to return to defend the city.
Seeing that the Ming army was about to enter the range of bows and arrows, Huang Taiji's eyes, which were usually squinted, suddenly widened, radiating a chilling light, and four words were coldly squeezed out between his teeth: "Release the arrows, charge!" ”
