Chapter 219: Jiannu retreats

Huang Taiji was anxious, because he could see clearly that although the attack of the Jiannu cavalry was fierce, it had been blocked two hundred steps outside the city wall. If the Jiannu cavalry is an ocean, then Juehua Island is a flat boat, no matter how big the sea is, can it still be a small boat?

The Jiannu cavalry fell one by one, and Huang Taiji's heart was dripping blood. These are all Jiannu elites, if the casualties are too great, the Mongols who have been suppressed by them for a long time will definitely rebel. However, Huang Taiji didn't dare to issue a withdrawal order, military power is the lifeblood of Nuer Hachi, if he crosses Nuer Hachi to issue a retirement order, it is equivalent to getting involved in military power, even if he is Nuer Hachi's father, I am afraid it will be difficult to escape death.

"Father Khan, retire the army. If we continue to fight like this, the casualties of our army will be too great, and even if we capture the barbarian emperor, it will not be worth the loss. ”

"Never retreat!" Nu'er Haqi's eyes were red with blood, and he also saw the cavalry that rushed forward like cutting wheat, falling in pieces, and he was so sorry that he was about to vomit blood, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "Attacking Juehua Island is not only to capture the barbarian emperor, but also for the future of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty." It's spring now, but it's still so cold that the sea on Kyaw Hwa Island hasn't even thawed. What does this mean? We have an even more difficult year ahead of us. We live on fishing and hunting in the Qing Dynasty, and this spring came so late, the growth of everything has slowed down, and there is definitely not enough food. Mongolia is dependent on grazing, which is also affected by the weather, and the production of cattle and sheep will definitely be reduced this year. Even if we rob all the things of the Mongols, it will not be enough for us to divide the eight banners. Only Juehua Island, there is food and people. If you grab the grain, you can survive the spring famine; If you grab people, you can appease the morale of the army. If you are lucky and catch the barbarian emperor, then how much grain will be needed, how much grain will be needed. ”

"Father Khan. It's not that you don't want to fight Juehuadao, but you are ready to fight again. You see, our cavalry, though valiant, never took two hundred paces before the wall. After fighting for so long, the casualties of our army are probably more than 4,000, but the defenders of Juehua Island are afraid that not even a single one is injured. ”

Nu'er Ha Chi observed for a moment. Said dejectedly: "Mingjin withdraws his troops." ”

The result was worse than Huang Taiji had estimated. After the order to collect the troops came out, the Jiannu cavalry who were storming the wall were relieved and retreated one after another, of course, Juehua Island was still hospitality, and a cannon came down, and on the way to retreat, Jiannu left hundreds of corpses. When the retreat was six hundred paces away, the 20,000 cavalry that attacked were now only more than 1,400 people. That's just a lot of time. In less than an hour! It's not that Jiannu hasn't fought before, and if he kills 5,000 people on the battlefield, he may not be able to kill them all from morning to night. It seems that Vunag died unjustly.

Nu'er Ha Chi didn't see the figure of his son Mang Gultai in the defeated army, and couldn't help shouting: "What about the fifth child, why didn't the fifth child come back?" ”

The Jiannu cavalry, who had witnessed Manggultai turn into flesh, bowed their heads.

Knowing that something was wrong, Nu'er Ha Chi grabbed the collar of one of the cavalrymen and shouted, "Sue me." What happened to the fifth child? ”

"Great Khan, Fifth Elder Brother...... He's dead. ”

Nu'er Ha Chi is like being struck by lightning. Weakly let go. The Jiannu cavalry fell to the ground, did not dare to cry out in pain, and quietly slipped back to the ranks.

"What about the corpse of the fifth child? Did you get it back? Huang Taiji asked.

Mang Gultai's personal soldiers replied with a winch: "The fifth elder brother was hit by artillery and has been shattered. ”

"Old Five!" Nu'er Ha Chi and Huang Taiji howled like wolves in unison.

Nu'er Ha Chi roared: "Come on, drag all the personal soldiers of Mang Gurtai down and behead them." You are the personal soldiers who protect the fifth child, and the master is dead. You're embarrassed to come back. ”

The blood of his own soldiers did not quell Nu'er Haqi's anger, he turned on his horse, drew his sword, and shouted: "Warriors of the Great Qing Dynasty, charge with Ben Khan. If Juehua Island is not broken, it will never withdraw troops. ”

Ah Defeat and Tang Gu also followed and rode on war horses.

Huang Taiji wiped his tears, grabbed the reins of the slave Ha Chi war horse, and said: "Father Khan, the revenge of the fifth child must be avenged, but not now." The weapons of the defenders of Kyaw Hwa Island are so terrifying that we have to make some preparations. ”

After all, Nuer Ha Chi is a generation of heroes, and he was persuaded by Huang Taiji and immediately calmed down.

"Old eight, what do you think we should do?"

"The car."

"Carriage? When we attacked Ningyuan City, didn't the chariot play a role? ”

"Father Khan, the situation is different. Ningyuan City has a city wall, and the defenders can condescend and burn the chariots with fire oil. Juehua Island is different, their city wall is only five feet high, even if there is fire oil, it can't be poured on the chariot, if you really want to set fire, I'm afraid you will set fire to the cymbal first. And I took a closer look at the battlefield, and there were only three weapons for the defenders on Juehua Island, cannons, firearms, and a small number of crossbow arrows. Although the range of these weapons is long, they are just restrained by the chariots, and as long as we have enough chariots, we will be able to get the troops safely to the wall. At that time, it will be the time for us to ride the iron power of the Qing Dynasty. ”

Nu'er Ha Chi was overjoyed when he heard this, but he couldn't help but be silent when he saw the corpse in front of the city wall of Juehua Island, and he had to find someone to collect the corpse. Although he is cold by nature, if he leaves the wounded and corpses of the Jiannu cavalry here and ignores them, I am afraid that the military spirit of Jiannu will be a little unstable.

Ah Wei saw his thoughts and said: "Father Khan, don't worry about these for now, and wait for tomorrow to capture Juehua Island and then give the sacrificed warriors a grand burial." Don't you always teach us that those who achieve great things are not informal? ”

Nu'er Ha Chi nodded, shook the reins, and said, "Withdraw, come back tomorrow to attack Juehua Island." ”

After saying that, he took the lead in retreating, and the Jiannu troops also withdrew in disgrace.

Seeing Jiannu's withdrawal from the binoculars, Zhu Youcheng, who was not greedy enough, was very dissatisfied, how many Jiannu had been eliminated, and he didn't enjoy it. Nu'er Ha Chi is inevitably too unplanted, and people who lose this point will be scared away. But he just thought about it in his heart, and didn't say it. If Jin Guan heard this, he was afraid not to cry to death. The border army at the end of the Ming Dynasty could destroy more than ten or twenty people in a battle, even if it was a fluke, even if it met the battle of the big army, it would only kill two or three hundred levels. In the past two or three days, you have already eliminated more than 10,000 Jiannu, and you are not satisfied, do you want to shame the border army alive.

Without Zhu Youcheng's orders, Chen Guoqi had already released the scouts, while Wu Huping and other generals sent troops over the city wall to die and live. Yu Jiayan seemed to have become addicted to anatomy, and went out with a group of medical soldiers carrying a single frame. However, none of the Jinyi guards thought that these doctors were there to save the wounded, and they all looked at the wounded soldiers lying on the single frame with sympathetic eyes.

Two hours later, the scouts returned to report that Nurhachi had not withdrawn his troops, and they had returned to the camp east of Ningyuan City. However, half an hour after returning to the camp, a team of tens of thousands of people was divided into the camp, bypassing Ningyuan City and going to the north of the city, and it is estimated that only about 5,000 people were left in the camp in the east of the city.

Why did Nuer Ha Chi go around to the north of the city, where there were not enough tents, instead of staying in the east of the city? The reason is simple, there are trees in the north of the city, and nothing in the east of the city. If Nuer Haqi wants to make a cart, he can only go to the north of the city to cut wood.

Seeing that Nu'er Haqi did not come out early in the morning to attack the city, he sent a large group of men and horses to make a detour back to the north of Ningyuan City in the evening. Yuan Chonghuan was surprised and frightened, what the hell is Jiannu doing, is he planning to attack the north gate of Ningyuan City again? The red-coated cannons in the north of the city have all moved to the east of the city. I didn't say it, let's move it again. So Ningyuan City was busy upstairs for half a night.

Besides, on Juehua Island, after listening to the report of the scout, Zhu Youcheng fell into deep thought, Nuer Ha Chi lost 5,000 people and did not retreat, which illustrates two problems: first, the spring famine of Jiannu is stricter than imagined, and Nuer Ha Chi will never dare to withdraw without getting food; Second, with the character of Jiannu, they must be thinking of some conspiracy now, and now it is just the calm before the storm. Zhu Youcheng has never been a border soldier, nor has he participated in the tragic battle of defending the city, I don't know what method Jiannu will come up with, but it can be imagined that it should be a vicious plan.

Zhu Youcheng tapped his fingers on the table, thought about it for a long time, and never figured out what method Nuer Ha Qi would use to attack Juehua Island, and finally made up his mind, don't think about it if you can't figure it out, he beats him, I hit mine.

He called Chen Guoqi into the tent.

"Chen Guoqi, the troops you led are the earliest pure firearms Qianhu trained in Jinyi Guard, and now I give you a task, which is to attack the slave camp at night. Do you have the guts to accept the task? ”

"My subordinates are willing." Chen Guoqi was so happy that his eyes narrowed into a slit. Hiding behind the walls and shooting, although they have eliminated a large number of enemies, how can it appear that they have trained for several years more than others?

"You give me the camp left in the east of Ningyuan City, and it should be able to arrive at four o'clock tonight (now at 23 o'clock), and at 4 o'clock (now at 5 o'clock). You are not required to break the camp, as long as you can burn the materials of the Jiannu. You can't do this with a firebolt alone, you take another bomb thrower, and each grenadier carries 3 grenades. ”

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!" Chen Guoqi gave a military salute and hurried out. Although it was only evening, it was still early to leave. But he also has an extra task, which is to brag to Wu Huping and arouse the envy, jealousy, and hatred of others. (To be continued!)
