Chapter 269: This is the era when firearms are king
Seeing the 5,000 reinforcements he led, he burned them directly. After the bomb killing, Abatai stopped the attack, and eventually led the attack on Guangqumen by Yuetuo, Abatai, Hasarin and others also weakened.
Zhu Changhao rushed directly through the Dongzhi Gate, turned the corner of the city wall, and ran towards the Temple of Earth. Along the way, 5,000 men still lost more than 20 cavalry, but under the brave leadership of the prince, the cavalry rarely used burning later. Bullets and grenades and other weapons of great destruction, but he swung his sword with all his might, and the large knife slashed at the head of the tartar.
Here, I have to admire the huge role of open-hearth steelmaking in Han, the effect of coke steelmaking and adding manganese concentrate powder is really good, if the current steelmaking industry in Daming can smelt tungsten ore, then the molten steel, adding tungsten concentrate powder, is definitely much stronger than the current manganese steel.
The strength of chopping melons and vegetables made the cavalry division more and more aggressive. Fen, so to speak, now the cavalry division can ignore Jiannu's weapons, facing the saber of the Jiannu Eight Banners cavalry, the cavalry division will cut down with a knife, if Jiannu resists with a saber, the saber will be cut off by the Yakexi sword.
It's just that there are always bannermen firing arrows in the distance, and sometimes Jiannu's red-coated cannon will send out a solid projectile, which will attack directly at the cavalry division.
On the rescue road from Guangqu Gate to Desheng Gate, one-third of the casualties of the cavalry division were killed by the projectiles of Jiannu's red-coated cannons.
As soon as the 5,000 cavalry passed through Andingmen, Belezirharang on the side of Huang Taiji shouted, "Great Khan, it's not good, this King Rui led about 5,000 cavalry to come to the rescue of Mangui, what should I do?" ”
Huang Taiji frowned when he heard Zilharang's shout, and when he was about to speak, Dai Shan couldn't help but preemptively say, "What are you shouting, hurry up and send troops to snipe him." I don't believe that he, the cavalry of a local vassal king, can withstand the cavalry of our Eight Banners. ”
Zilharang also shouted out because he was too surprised, and now that Jing Daishan said this, he understood in his heart.
Immediately let one of his subordinates, Ezhen, lead 3,000 people to snipe Zhu Changhao.
But Zhu Changhao, who will be this will, has been quietly swinging a knife to kill the Tartars. Feeling inside, although from time to time he consciously looked at whether Huang Taiji wanted to make a black hand for himself, but these were just flashes in Zhu Changhao's heart, after all, in the face of absolute power, any conspiracy and trickery is nothing, and it is crushed in the past.
The money rattail pigtail cavalry sent by Zilharang also failed.
Huang Taiji also observed the fact that the swords of the cavalry division actually cut off the sabers of their Eight Banners cavalry, but Zilharang did not retreat, after all, the Great Khan was watching the battle behind, if he was afraid to step forward because of the dead, it would definitely make Huang Taiji lower his perception of him.
At this time, Zhu Changhao also found that this flag man was attacking him madly, and immediately let the two wings snipe, and the soldiers in the middle directly hit the cold wooden warehouse, or threw the grenade in front.
"Damn, this king is not powerful, you still think that this king will only use a war knife to cut it!" The power of the grenade directly caused the pieces of flags to leave the world.
Almost three hundred grenades were thrown, and Zierharang was also scared, and the bannermen did not step forward, and some of the Han Eight Banners in it said loudly to the grenades that would explode, "Brothers, this is the palm thunder of the Ming people, it is a spell handed down by the primordial Tianzun in the sky, we are **mortals, we can't beat them, hurry up and run......"
Such a statement spread throughout the bannermen who sniped Zhu Changhao in a few breaths, and Zilharang knew that he had failed, because this would have caused more than two thousand dead and wounded of three thousand bannermen.
Zhu Changhao was like a rampaging bison, and finally arrived at Deshengmen. Man Gui has been injured, only five or six hundred people, he has been resisting to the death under the door hole at this time, the problem is that the firearms battalion of the Beijing Division, the Shenji Battalion, and the three thousand battalions above the gate tower of Desheng Gate are just sporadically releasing arrows, and this kind of arrows is just scratching the boots, and it has no effect on the flagmen on the opposite side.
Man Gui's ribs and cheeks that were wounded by the Tartar shot were bleeding, but when he saw Zhu Changhao personally leading five thousand cavalry to come, his heart relaxed.
The arrival of 5,000 reinforcements gave a boost to the Qinwang army near Desheng Gate.
Zhu Changhao didn't talk nonsense, and let the 5,000 people be divided into two parts, 2,000 people assisted Mangui in defending the city, and the remaining 3,000 people were divided into two wedge-shaped battle formations, and the bannermen who came to attack were pierced and divided.
Along with him, Yuan Chonghuan has already led nine thousand Guanning Iron Cavalry, and he will arrive in Beijing in half an hour at most.
Huang Taiji had also calculated that Yuan Chonghuan would definitely come to the rescue, and had already been dispatched, Mang Gurtai led the four banners of the Manchurian left wing and 1,000 Mongolian soldiers to attack Yuan Chonghuan's army, at this time Yuan Chonghuan and Jinzhou General Soldier Zu Dashou led 9,000 Guanning Iron Cavalry outside the Tunshawo Gate.
Standing on the gatehouse of Guangqu Gate, you can see the tragic scene of Yuan Chonghuan and Tartar fighting.
Nine thousand Guanning iron cavalry bloody battle tens of thousands of Eight Banner Army and Mongolian soldiers, from Si (Si Zheng to Youzheng time, artillery fire, fierce battle for four hours, more than ten miles.
During the battle, an enemy soldier slashed Yuan Chonghuan with a knife, and Yuan Gao, a suitable officer with a suitable material, was separated by a knife holder, and the blades were folded opposite each other. Mang Gurtai arrows rained down, Yuan Chonghuan was hit by several arrows, his ribs were like hedgehogs, and his heavy armor was impermeable.
Because Yuan Chonghuan took the lead and fought desperately, the Guanning Iron Cavalry fought hard to slash and kill, and the Mang Gurtai army was defeated. Yuan Chonghuan's generals attacked Liu Yingguo, Luo Jingrong, Qianzong Dou Jun, etc., and pursued the enemy army to the canal. The enemy army rushed to cross, the ice collapsed, and countless people were drowned. In this battle, the Guanning Iron Cavalry killed thousands of enemies, and the Qing army's strong forces of Duolin'e, Azig, and Sigel were all defeated.
Guan Ningbing also suffered hundreds of casualties.
When night came, it seemed that the wind was about to blow in the land of Gyeonggi tonight, and the clouds in the sky became very thick, and the troops on both sides were finally withdrawn.
Zhu Changhao was on the Shahao land next to Guangqu Gate, helping more than 9,000 Guanning iron cavalry to set up a camp.
Today's battle directly caused nearly 30,000 casualties in the Eight Banners, but the Qin Wang Army of the Ming Dynasty was killed and wounded, and there were no more than 10,000 missing.
Tower, on the iron platform.
Zhu Changhao, Song Xiance, Liu Zheng, Fu Zonglong, Man Gui, Yuan Chonghuan, Zu Dashou, Zhao Shujiao, Hou Shilu, Geng Ruji and others gathered around a charcoal stove, eating the rough but affordable meals of the cavalry division, and talking.
When Zhu Changhao was eating, he carefully talked with this controversial historical celebrity in the original time and space, and still felt that Yuan Chonghuan had two brushes, and what interested Zhu Changhao the most was that this guy put forward the concept of strategic space, as well as bunker tactics, constantly compressing the living space of the Tartars, so that they gradually weakened It is very "material".
It's just that Zhu Changhao understands that with Chongzhen, as well as the current economic state of the Ming Dynasty, as well as the defeat of the civil and official group, as well as the defeat of the official yamen, this strategic layout must be a failure.
Yuan Manzi's strategic thinking can be said to have surpassed this time and space for nearly three hundred years, but it is too advanced, and there is no matching economy, culture, and system, which is not advanced, but a disaster.
In addition to communicating with Yuan Chonghuan, Zhu Changhao talked the most during the banquet was Zu Dashou.
During the banquet, in addition to answering Zhu Changhao's questions, Zu Dashou also mentioned how to leave Huang Taiji in Beijing this time, and later specifically mentioned the matter of building a city to defend Jinzhou on the edge of the Daling River, so that Zhu Changhao understood that this was a strategy to close the door and beat the dog against Jiannu.
During the period, he also mentioned that Zhu Changhao's Beiyang Naval Division, Gaizhou, landed, from west to east, and he was on the side of Ningyuan City, from south to north, in addition, he already knew that the current Dongjiang Town was also in his hands, and asked Li Dazui to go from east to west.
Three forces, three ways to attack, will be in Shengjing, if Huang Taiji can't defeat these three people, he can only flee to Horqin in the northwest.
The problem is that there are a lot of Jiannu, with so many people, in the cold winter wax moon, migrating towards Horqin, and Horqin is not rich.
When so many Jurchens come to Horqin, they have to compete with the Horqin people for food, and when the time comes, they will turn their faces and fight, after all, everyone has to eat and live.
Zhu Changhao, who still admired Yuan Chonghuan and Zu Dashou's talents and learning, decided to discuss with him tomorrow the strategy of killing the 100,000 army of Huang Taiji.
On Haizi's side, inside the big tent of the Chinese army, Huang Taiji and Zhong Beile held a meeting to review.
Huang Taiji's seventh brother Abatai, because the five thousand rescuers who sniped Zhu Changhao were unfavorable, he had to be cut down according to military discipline.
Huang Taiji said: "Abatai lost his two sons in the battle formation, and in order to save his sons, he did not fight according to the predetermined plan, but he was not cowardly. How can I condemn my own brother? And he forgave him.
But Abatai was still very uncomfortable, and he did not shy away from the many Baylor, Taiji, and even Li Guifang, Fan Wencheng, Ning Wan and others in the Chinese military tent, "Great Khan, in fact, this time, our Dajin Kingdom has already lost, and our Eight Banners have lost their sharpness. This kind of sharpness is not something that can be compensated for for a while. Also, in the process of sniping that Rui Wang Ye today, I found that their kind of burning fire eggs were particularly terrifying. The flame can't be extinguished by water, and the sand can't be extinguished, as long as it sticks to the meat, then you have to cut off that piece of meat, drip it on your arm, and cut off your arm... I'm Baqi, I'm not afraid of losing my head, I'm afraid that I won't be able to die for a while. ”
Yue Tuo also failed again, but as the leader of the third generation of the Aixin Jueluo family, he didn't mind his failure, but bravely said to Huang Taiji, "Great Khan, the last general feels that my Eight Banners failed this time, mainly because we used bows and arrows, as well as sabers, although there are red-clothed cannons, but that thing, the projectile that shoots out, is solid, and killing people is just a line, the one opposite Ruiwang, the projectile will explode, that is, the palm thunder thrown out of his hand, it will also explode, Ordnance-wise, we have failed. ”
Although Yue Tuo is a Jiannu Tartar, this person is still upright and straightforward, and bluntly speaks out about the shortcomings of his side.
At this time, Fan Wencheng, as a think tank, also wants to show his own existence, "Great Khan, the Ming people have a saying, "If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools", I think you know, therefore, for the attack of the Ming Dynasty, we have to find another way. In this war, we also have to think about it in the long run! ”
The atmosphere of the review of the Tartars was very gloomy, which showed that this battle was very defeated.
