Chapter 618: Happiness and Sorrow

Ten years is enough to figure out a person, even a monster like Jiajing has been figured out by Xu Ge Lao.

Yan Song's wife died a few years ago, an old dog that has been raised for more than 20 years, and Jiajing is unwilling to make up for Yan Song, who is covered in bruises.

The impeachment of Yan Song will not only not succeed, but will also arouse Jiajing's suspicion and disgust, and the gains outweigh the losses.

But as a top master, he will not let go of the God-given opportunity to take advantage of your illness to kill you. The next year is the forty-first year of Jiajing, the year of external inspection, if Ouyang Bijin is still retained, the Xu Party will definitely receive a heavy blow, which Xu Jie does not want to bear no matter what.

When he couldn't find a way to break the game, Tang Yi gave him a shortcut to the south.

Yan Xu's party fought to the most critical time, and Yang Bo, as the leader of the Jin party, urgently needed to return to Beijing to lay out, lest the two sides decide the winner, and he would not be able to get anything. Xu Jie also needed Yang Bo's strength to completely defeat Yan Song, and the two sides hit it off.

The military department is still in the book, which was originally an exchange between Xu Jie and Yang Bo. It's just that Xu Jie is quite jealous of Yang Bo, so he hasn't cashed it out for a long time.

Tang Yi gave Xu Jie a different way of thinking, if he handed over the military department to Hu Zongxian, his merit and identity were enough, and he left the southeast nest, Hu Zongxian would be a scumbag in the short term, and it would not affect the overall situation at all.

But he blocked Yang Bo out, and with Yang Bo's identity, in addition to the military department, only the officials of the Ministry of Heavenly Officials were worthy of him, so he forced the Jin Party to attack Ouyang Bijin.

Xu Jie may have to estimate Jiajing's attitude, but Yang Bo doesn't have to worry, kill Ouyang Bijin and take down the ministry, and Yan Shifan is not in the cabinet.

It's simply leaning on the sword in the left hand, slaying the dragon knife in the right hand, God blocks and kills God, and Buddha blocks and kills Buddha!

Xu Jie, who was old in calculations, was thrilled, he didn't notice Tang Yi's careful thinking at all, he only thought about it for himself. Xu Jie excitedly took Tang Yi's hand, "Okay, the old man really didn't see the wrong person, on the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, and the last court meeting, the old man will find a way to let Hu Zongxian take over the military department, and you will also enter the military department at that time." ”

It was originally scheduled to be a year after the year, but it was given in advance, which was a small gain, Tang Yi was excited.

"Thank you for the cultivation of the teacher, it's just that the time is pressing, Your Majesty still has to be accommodating, and the disciple is a little worried!"

Xu Jie waved his hand and laughed: "Hahaha, don't worry, Jingchuan has won the battle, and he will soon return to the dynasty. ”

……

Since the change of the civil fort, the Ming Dynasty lost the ability to take the initiative to attack, and could only desperately build the city pier platform, strictly defending, and it has been proved that passive defense can not win the war.

Since the rise of Alta, tens of thousands of cavalry, breaking into the Great Wall, killing into the interior, burning and looting, and even endangering the capital, in the face of Alta's unscrupulousness, some people feel ashamed and helpless, and some people are actively looking for countermeasures, Tang Shunzhi, who has served as the secretary of the military department for many years, has been brewing a counteroffensive, and he is convinced that the cavalry is not invincible.

Tang Shunzhi once tried to use the terrain and firearms to ambush the Mongolian cavalry, but the result was more than one win or one loss. Summing up the experience, Tang Shunzhi found that the problem was all in the Ming army, as long as they heard the sound of horses' hooves, their legs were weak, they threw away their armor, scrambled to flee for their lives, and ran away alone, and the result was the collapse of the whole line.

If you want to win Alta, you have to find an army that won't run away!

With Qi Jiguang and other southeastern generals going north, Tang Shunzhi saw hope.

In the winter of the 40th year of Jiajing, I answered as scheduled, he led 50,000 cavalry, divided into two roads, from Xuanfu and Juyong Pass to the Ming Dynasty.

Juyong guard general Ma Fang led the army to resist hard, but I couldn't agree to advance an inch, on the contrary, I also lost my troops and was beaten to the point of bleeding. It's just that Hu Zhen, the chief soldier who was responsible for guarding the direction of Xuanfu, was defeated, lost his troops, and retreated in Xuanfu, relying on Jiancheng, and did not dare to come out.

The cavalry, which had no worries, rushed into the flock of sheep like a pack of vicious wolves, burning and looting everywhere, gold and silver treasures, grain and cloth, people and livestock...... It is as if locusts are crossing the border, not only robbing things, but also setting fires everywhere, destroying one village and town after another.

They were not worried at all, the Han people were like weeds, even if they burned out, they would still grow more luxuriantly in the coming year for them to plunder again.

For twenty or thirty years, it has been like this, and they have become accustomed to it.

Alta's eldest son, Huang Taiji, personally led eight thousand cavalry, rushing to the front, he was Alta's eldest son, the eagle of Mongolia, and no one could stop him.

The army rolled eastward, and along the way, the Ming army fled, like yellow sheep on the grassland, in groups, only knowing to escape, escape, and keep running.

Huang Taiji led the army and chased all the way to Baiyangkou, a small village with only a few dozen families, and the low city walls were only more than a zhang high, which could not protect the people inside.

The people were not afraid, because there was a stronger human wall outside.

Yang An led two thousand firecrackers to form a neat phalanx. In the face of the onslaught cavalry, as if he didn't notice it, he still squatted on the ground, wiped the gun pipe with a rag over and over again, checked the gunpowder and projectiles on his body, carefully and carefully, not sloppy at all.

"Haha, this group of Ming army monsters, if you want to find death, you will be fulfilled!"

Huang Taiji waved his scimitar, and the cavalry rushed over like a tide, the distance between the two sides became closer and closer, and the Ming army seemed to have just woken up, and they got up one after another, aiming their guns at the surging cavalry.

One hundred steps, eighty steps, seventy steps...... Suddenly the red flag waved, "Shoot!" ”

A deafening gunshot rang out, and the northern captives who rushed to the front burst out clouds of blood mist, fell to the ground in pain, and were trampled into meatloaf by the horses' hooves in the blink of an eye.

Through the smoke of gunpowder, Huang Taiji could see clearly, the rows of warriors seemed to have been struck by lightning, and they fell down in pieces, as if they were magical.

What's even more amazing is that the other party didn't even fall down a single soldier.

Is this still a cowardly Ming army?

Huang Taiji didn't believe this was true at all, and he immediately mobilized his most elite archers to rush forward and shoot those Ming soldiers to death with random arrows.

The second confrontation began, bows and arrows rained down, and the same projectiles also flew towards the opponent, and every moment, someone fell.

The intense blood, mixed with gunsmoke, stimulated Yang An's senses.

There was a strange fire in his eyes, and he really wanted to laugh three times, yes, laugh out loud!

I still remember that Tang Yi explained to them that the Mongolian cavalry had the most brilliant achievements, they conquered countless countries and established the largest empire.

They have the most ferocious tactic - Mangu!

Use the retreat to attract the opponent, and then carry out endless bow and arrow throws to destroy the opponent's confidence and morale, and never engage the opponent in close combat from beginning to end.

Ambush, raid, destroy, kill......

The Mongol cavalry was the most efficient harvesting machine, and they made the Xiyi tremble, bow, and make the fighting people submit...... Before the confrontation with Me, Yang Anxin kept echoing Tang Yi's words, and he once thought that this was a bitter battle of life and death.

But when he really confronted my subordinates, Yang An found something different, the Mongols had degenerated, and Mangu was a very fierce tactic, but he needed a strong commander, who could command the cavalry flexibly and make all kinds of tactical moves.

And today's Mongolian cavalry is more like a group of unorganized bandits, and their will to fight and teamwork are almost zero!

When the Ming army was fearlessly firing at each other, the Mongol archers were afraid, and frankly their bows and arrows had a slightly longer range than firearms. But when a bow and arrow is shot at the body, it is only an eye, and unless it hits the throat, eye and other fatal places, it will kill the other party.

But the fire gun is different, a lead pellet, under the kinetic energy given by the gunpowder, smashed into the flesh and blood, as if hitting the body with a hammer.

As long as it is hit, no matter where it is, the huge wound, the skin, flesh and bones are broken, and it becomes a mess, and the lead pellets enter the flesh, which will also cause poisoning and infection, and there is basically no possibility of survival.

After losing more than a hundred archers, the northern cavalry was afraid, and they retreated one after another, no matter how Huang Taiji cursed and shouted, they were not willing to take another step.

Yang An remembered another thing that Tang Yi said, dogs and wolves have the same ancestor, with a human comfort nest, wolves become dogs, and if they throw dogs into the wasteland, they will become terrible wild dogs.

The environment creates people, the Ming army is declining, and the Mongols are also declining, but the Ming army is declining faster, so people ignore the weak nature of the Mongols!

This is not nonsense, otherwise in a few decades, Lin Dan Khan would not have been beaten by the wild boar skin with one-tenth of his troops.

The battle continued, Yang An commanded the men and horses, and set up camp on the spot in the Baiyangkou Thousand Households, Huang Taiji was not willing to fail, he tried to sneak attack several times, but he was beaten back.

Until the next morning, with the morning sun, a larger army appeared from the east, armed with a large number of vans, whirlwind, and appeared on the flank of Huang Taiji.

The soldiers on the cart were not only armed with muskets, but also sharp artillery, and the cavalry who tried to attack was met head-on, and the corpses were scattered all over the ground.

encountered two strange groups of Ming troops in a row, Huang Taiji was scared, he chose to retreat in a hurry, but he didn't expect that when he was majestic, the Ming army along the way only dared to hide in the castle, but when he retreated, the Ming army didn't do anything, then it was really time to pee and drown.

Tang Shunzhi had already laid out a net, and after Yang An and Qi Jiguang converged, they launched a counterattack from the front, and at the same time, the other two deputy commanders led their subordinates to cut off Huang Taiji's retreat.

On this day of the 23rd year of the lunar month, a decisive battle was launched, which killed more than 2,700 captives in the north, captured 1,500 people, and captured more than 8,000 horses.

When the news reached the capital, it was like a heavy salute, burning the joy of the New Year in advance, and the excited Jiajing set up an altar in the palace to pray to the sky and thank God for blessing.

Until the second half of the night, Jiajing was so excited that he couldn't sleep, and suddenly he smelled a burst of smoke, and the flames quickly climbed to the roof along the curtains, and Yuxi Palace was on fire...... (To be continued.) )
