Chapter 129: The Battle of Ningyuan (7)

In the dark night, I can't see my fingers.

However, Nurhachi's camp was brightly lit and became the most obvious target in the night. Thirty warships surrounded the sea on the periphery of the camp. A Franc cannon had already protruded from the gun deck, ready for the ensuing battle.

No!

It should be said that it is an asymmetrical battle!

Because Deng Haonan's fleet used artillery from the sea to attack Nurhachi's land camp, but Nurhachi's cavalry and archers were unable to counterattack. "Fire!"

"Fire!"

The ships received the order, and all the guns opened fire in unison.

In the night, I saw rows of fires flickering, and the smoke from the muzzles of the guns flickered like lightning flashes in the dark clouds.

Knock knock!

The sound of cannon sounded, breaking the silence of the night sky, rumbling like continuous thunder.

Whoosh!

Rows of shells drew arcs in the night sky, like shining meteors blowing across the sky, pulling a long whistling sound, rushing towards the military camp that was close at hand.

On the sentry towers around Nurhachi's camp, several sentry soldiers saw lightning and thunder in the direction of the sea.

"Why is it still thundering in the winter?"

"That's it! Look at a lot of meteorites in the sky! ”

"Look! See! It's coming our way! ”

"Look at your mother's head!" Ran Chang slapped the nearest shoe soldier down and shouted, "Enemy attack!" Enemy attack! ”

In the blink of an eye, the meteors flying in the sky turned into a rain of meteorites falling from the sky. Whizzed down.

The cannonball pierced through the tower in an instant, slamming onto the frozen ground, causing clods of earth to splash in all directions. The watchtower fell apart in an instant, and the sentries on it were lifted into the air, and then fell freely and smashed to the ground, breaking their legs and arms, and they were either killed or injured.

The camps are all improvised simple fences, and the light man does not have the kind of idle work of the Ming army, and it is like a fortress to repair a temporary camp. In their opinion, when they wake up tomorrow, they will attack Ningyuan, and then rest in the house in Ningyuan City.

A cow was awakened by a rumbling sound, and he walked out of the tent with sleepy eyes.

Bang!

A barracks tent not far to the right was smashed by shells, and then another tent next to it was collapsed by shells. Then one tent after another was smashed one by one by falling shells, and this Niu Lu was suddenly stupid. Mu Mu turned around and looked up at the sky.

A cannonball quickly grew larger in his eyes, and with a bang, his head had been smashed to pieces, and blood was spilled all over the tent. Bang! Bang bang!

Several shells smashed into the frozen soil, shattering it in an instant. The shattered frozen clods were as hard as stone and splattered everywhere, and a few godchildren who had just escaped from their tents were hit. Killed on the spot.

The cannonballs flying in the sky fell like a meteorite hitting the ground, and each shell smashed into a pit more than a meter in size. The violent shock wave instantly spread to the surroundings. The lampstand placed nearby was suddenly blown away, and the fire oil inside was sprinkled all around, causing a fire.

Knock knock!

The sound of artillery was heard again. Less than half a minute later, the second round of shelling of the convoy followed.

The Franc cannon was played to the fullest by Deng Haonan's subordinates, and each Franc cannon was equipped with ten sub-guns. The launch speed is surprisingly fast.

Soon, the shells hit the fire, instantly bursting into the surrounding tents, firewood houses, stables, and forage fields, and the camp of Nurhachi was dotted with fires.

There is a saying that a spark can start a prairie fire, and these countless small fires quickly joined together to form a living fire.

"What's going on?"

Lift the tent. Nurhachi broke out of the tent of the Chinese army.

I was stunned by the scene in front of me!

The camp, which had been fine a few minutes ago, was now in disarray, with horses neighing and artillery everywhere. If a soldier cannot find a general, he will not find a soldier. The entire camp was filled with fires, smoke billowing from the sky, and artillery shells flying through the air added to the chaos.

Many soldiers were directly killed by shells in their sleep, but they were lucky enough to run out but encountered the big tip on the ground and the shells in the air, and they could take care of the fire above, and the fire below, staring at the bottom, and then looking up, their heads flew. There are also wooden rubbles flying everywhere in the middle, and any one of them piercing into the body is fatal.

There was chaos in the camp, and people shouted. Wailing is everywhere. Chickens and dogs jumping, horses neighing, and cannon rumbling suddenly converge into a chaotic symphony.

Nurhachi screamed twice, but no one heard.

After a long time, a godchild soldier who ran around asked him loudly what was going on, but the hanging soldier was so frightened that he couldn't speak. Nurhachi shook him twice, but accidentally broke his neck.

At this time, Nurhachi's sons dared to come quickly.

"What the hell is going on? Did the Ming army come to steal the camp? ”

When Nurhachi saw Huang Taiji, he asked anxiously.

Huang Taiji was covered in dust and looked like he had been baptized by shelling and fire.

"Father Khan!" Huang Taiji gasped sharply. "There are warships attacking us on the sea!" ”

Nurhachi was shocked and looked up in the direction of the sea, but he was obscured by the fire and smoke, and could not see anything.

Look at the shells flying in the air, they are coming from the direction of the sea.

"Didn't you say it's okay to camp by the sea?"

Huang Taiji was depressed for a while, he knew that the boatman with the golden crown had no artillery at all. This is clearly not his boatman.

It's just that there is no time to explain to Nurhachi at the moment.

"Father Khan! More on that later! Now, we need to get out of here! ”

Dai Shan is naturally the "two straights" who support Huang Taiji! "Father Khan! Hurry up! If the Ming army in Zhongyuan City rushes out, "I am afraid that the whole army will be annihilated if I am attacked on my back!" ”

At this time, several shells fell nearby, and the rubble was fired, injuring five or six godsons. Nurhachi's face was also slashed by a stone, and blood immediately flowed out.

Huang Taiji and the others were shocked, and hurriedly supported Nurhachi, and said, "Father Khan! Hurry up and get out! ”

Nurhachi lost his temper and said angrily: "Only Nurhachi died in battle." There is absolutely no Nurhachi who has escaped".

Dai Shan and others are in a hurry, and they don't know what to do!

Huang Taiji secretly said that it was not good, it was not a good thing that his father's temper came up at this time!

So he gave Dai Shan a look, and several people forcibly put Nurhachi up, ignored his roar, and forcibly took him to evacuate.

Nurhachi's camp was laid out along the coast, stretching for more than ten miles, like a winding fire dragon at this time. The fire is scorching. Thick smoke billowed the sea.

on the frigate No. 8. Shi Jianfei, the commander of the ship, and Jin Guan, the general of Juehua Island, and others, looked quietly at the Nurhachi camp on the shore that was engulfed in flames, and all the Lezi soldiers who couldn't run out were burned alive. With the notes of the cannon, I felt the ecstasy in my heart.

Despite the rumbling of artillery in front of them. But it was no longer possible to hide the screams of the shoe soldiers from the opposite side, and the neighing of the war horses.

In just a dozen minutes, more than 30 warships commanded by Shi Jianfei had fired tens of thousands of shells. Even if it didn't cause a fire, it turned Nurhachi's camp into a hornet's nest.

Jin Guan looked in the direction of the clairvoyant and said excitedly: "Damn godson, this time it is retribution!" ”

When Shi Jianfei heard this, he was relieved and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that more than half of Lezi's 60,000 army will be burned to death this time!" Jin Guan nodded and said, "The godchild soldiers are all sleeping to death, and they were suddenly shelled, defenseless, just tens of thousands of shells." You can kill more than 10,000 enemies, plus the stampede in the chaos and the engulfment of fire, you should be able to kill more than 20,000 enemies. ”

Shi Jianfei nodded and said, "In the war, the number of people killed directly can only account for a small part of the total number, and most of them died in chaos!" ”

Jin Guan said: "That's right! In the past, when the Ming army crusaded against Nurhachi, hundreds of thousands of troops were wiped out, and they were all killed in the escape. was even killed by his own people, and very few people actually died in a battle with his godson."

Then he said: "This attack on the camp of the thief army, if Lord Qincha can send an army to take the opportunity to cover up and kill, I think it is possible to completely annihilate the army of the light people!" ”

Shi Jianfei shook his head and said, "I don't know about this!" However, the godson is very capable of land warfare, and we may not be able to take advantage of it! ”

Jin Guan nodded and said, "That's what I said!" Once you can't cover it up, you will fall short if you are covered up by a light son."

Didn't Hua Haonan move?

Apparently not!

At this time, at the head of Ningyuan City, Deng Haonan, Yuan Chonghuan, Tang Jing, and North Korean representative Han Yu were watching the battle situation. At the same time, the city gate opened, and a group of Ningyuan's defenders drove out of the city and rushed straight to Nurhachi's camp.

The first is full of soldiers, and the generals Zu Dashou, Zhao Shujiao, Zuo Fu, and Zhu Mei. The Ningyuan cavalry led by four people, numbering about 8,000, was a cavalry composed of Yuan Chonghuan's painstaking efforts.

This cavalry is the future Guanning Iron Cavalry, in history, when Yuan Chonghuan achieved the victory of Ningyuan, Gao Di was dismissed, and Yuan Chonghuan took care of Shanhaiguan. This cavalry was renamed the Guanning Cavalry, and then resisted the Manchu cavalry for the first time after the Battle of Jinzhou with Huang Taiji. Therefore, it was called Guanning Iron Cavalry and became the last elite cavalry in the late Ming Dynasty.

Yuan Chonghuan has been quietly hiding this cavalry, in his words, he took a lot of effort to save this cavalry, if he retreats back to Shanhaiguan, then this cavalry will become Gao Di and others.

It can be said that Yuan Chonghuan's stubborn defense of Ning Yuan is also his own cautious eye, because Ning Yuan is his family background, and Ning Yuan is his bargaining chip for winning political status in the future.

As a literati, Yuan Chonghuan was essentially the same as Li Hongzhang in the late Qing Dynasty who used the Beiyang Navy as a political bargaining chip.

This is another reason why Yuan Chonghuan was finally killed by Chongzhen.

When Yuan Chonghuan asked about Na Haonan's overall plan, he told Deng Haonan about this cavalry.

Deng Haonan was originally thinking, didn't Yuan Chonghuan have a Guan Ning iron horse? Why didn't you see him prominent?

It's just that Deng Haonan was attracted by other things and didn't have time to pay attention.

Originally, Yuan Chonghuan was not ready to use cavalry, because he always thought that Nurhachi's army was 130,000, so his 8,000 cavalry was not enough to stuff people's teeth.

When he learned from Deng Haonan that his godson was only 60,000 cavalry, Yuan Chonghuan was already moved, and after seeing Deng Haonan's stealing camp plan, he couldn't help but take the initiative to say it.

Seeing that Yuan Chonghuan took out his Ningyuan cavalry, Deng Haonan suddenly changed his original plan.

At the beginning, Deng Haonan only thought of using the fleet to sneak attack Nurhachi's camp, but it was just harassment, so that Qingzi could not sleep well, and he had no combat effectiveness the next day.

Now that he learned about Yuan Chonghuan's Ningyuan cavalry, Na Haonan was overjoyed and discussed countermeasures with Yuan Chonghuan, Zu Dashou and others. Immediately changed the original harassment to a camp robbery in the middle of the night.

Because Nurhachi didn't know that Yuan Chonghuan actually had 8,000 cavalry, he could be caught off guard.

The four generals Zu Dashou, Zhao Shujiao, Zuo Fu, and Zhu Mei each led 2,000 cavalry. Once the thief camp was in chaos, he led the cavalry to cover and kill.

At the same time, when the garrison He Kegang, Chen Zhaoqi, the capital division of the center and left, Xu Fuzhuo and others led the 20,000 people of Ningyuan's infantry army to ambush near the pass and bring Nurhachi's retreating troops there, they first attacked with rocket artillery and disrupted their formation, and then 20,000 infantry troops swarmed around

For infantry. Deng Haonan deliberately made a deployment, and it was impossible to kill the enemy with fire at night, so the infantry army gave up all the fire and changed to a big sword and spear.

The rocket artillery unit arranged 500 men, carrying 100 trucks of swarms and two weapons of mass destruction, and quietly lurked near the pass two miles away from Nurhachi's camp.

The cart is a small cart. There is no swarm of bees on the car, or a box of arrows, a swarm of arrows about fifty rockets per box, the arrow is actually a strengthened version of a swarm of bees, that is, a swarm of bees in parallel again two to six ranges, a lead ignition.

The range of the rocket was only 500 meters, and the men sent by Deng Haonan lurked near the pass, more than two miles away from Nurhachi's camp.

At first glance, it was not an attack on the camp, but an ambush.

In fact, Deng Haonan was preparing to attack Nurhachi's camp together, but this more than 100 truckloads of rocket artillery was really a huge target, and once it was discovered by the godson sentry, the consequences would be unimaginable

Therefore, Deng Haonan still adopted a prudent plan.

He was already sure that once Nurhachi's camp was attacked by Deng Haonan's fleet. It is bound to choose to retreat, and the pass is the only direction of Nurhachi's retreat.

Therefore, Deng Haonan is ready to ambush Nurhachi here.

Tang Jing said: "My lord is really wise, this time I will definitely be able to win and succeed!" ”

"What's more?" Yuan Chonghuan said very excitedly: "This time we will definitely be able to annihilate Nurhachi's army!" ”

Deng Haonan didn't dare to pack the ticket, although he was also ready to annihilate Nurhachi in his heart, but he still had some worries, that is, would history allow him to do this? This time, Deng Haonan is a gamble!

Yes!

He gambled Ning Yuancheng into it! Do your best to besiege Nurhachi, if Nurhachi does not die, he will definitely fight back to Ningyuan, at that time, there are not many defenders in Ningyuan City, and it can be taken overnight. If he succeeds, he will change history!

He just wanted to watch, and he went to great lengths to organize a campaign to completely annihilate Nurhachi. Can you wipe out Nurhachi completely?

And if you could? It shows that Deng Haonan can change history!

And if you can't? That shows that Di Haonan is still at the mercy of history!

Deng Haonan sighed: "This is a big gamble! ”

Yuan Chonghuan naturally didn't know what Deng Haonan was thinking, and said with a smile: "My lord is too worried!" Nurhachi has always won every battle, and this time he is also arrogant, we are prepared and unprepared, Nurhachi will not escape! ”

Tang Jing was also very excited and said: "Nurhachi's sons who can fight well are all in the camp, if it is served in one pot, then this credit is enough to confer the title of marquis!" ”

As officials, Yuan Chonghuan and Tang Jing obviously thought of being promoted to become rich subconsciously, but Deng Haonan was a little depressed in his heart. If it succeeds. They are the ones who are promoted and rich, and they are going to run away, and they don't make anything!

Damn!

Son!

At this moment, Shi Jianfei's side had already stopped the shelling as agreed, and Ning Yuan's cavalry quickly rushed into the camp of the wheel.

"Kill!"

The shouts of killing were everywhere, and the Ningyuan cavalry were all selected by Yuan Chonghuan from the refugees in Liaodong, and the hatred for his godson was indescribable.

The light sons in the chaos were violently attacked by Ning Yuan's cavalry, and suddenly screamed one after another.

Some hangers dodged a knife in front, but they couldn't dodge the sabers that rushed behind one after another.

Between the knives and the knives, the head of the hanger fell to the ground, and blood splattered.

Soon, the eight thousand Ningyuan cavalry broke into the camp of the godson, and killed those who were alive, and the godson in the chaos was unable to organize effective resistance at all.

The defeat is like a mountain!

Godchild soldiers are no exception!

However, many of the godchildren are very fierce. Knowing that you will die. Fight to the death.

Everyone's thoughts are the same, and they have to pull a cushion when they die.

In this way, the ferocious counterattack of many godsons slowed down the attack speed of Ning Yuan's cavalry a lot.

After all, Ning Yuan's cavalry fought for the first time and lacked experience, so it was the courage to kill it at this time. If there was no Deng Haonan's navy to disrupt the battalion of shoes first, they might not have the courage to rush up, and they might not even be able to play the level of training in peacetime.

Recruits are like that. It's good to have seen blood!

Undoubtedly, this fight is the best opportunity for Ningyuan's cavalry to grow rapidly.

Here, Ning Yuan's cavalry rushed into the godson camp and wantonly slashed and killed the godson soldiers in chaos.

Over there, Huang Taiji and others had already escorted Nurhachi out of the camp with more than 10,000 cavalry of various banners.

Seeing Ning Yuan's cavalry charging and killing in his own camp, Nurha suddenly vomited blood and passed out in a coma. Dai Shan and Amin shouted that they were going to rush back and fight, but Huang Taiji hurriedly stopped them.

At this time, there were only 10,000 of them, and they had just run out of the chaotic camp, and they had all the flags, and it was difficult to organize to confront Ning Yuan's cavalry in the dark night.

Therefore, Huang Taiji chose to withdraw from the Ningyuan Realm first, and then kill back after a short rest.

So, Huang Taiji and others escorted Nurhachi to the pass quickly.

When Huang Taiji and the others were about three or four hundred meters away from the pass, a long line of torches suddenly appeared in front of them. More than a hundred rocket vehicles appeared in front of them, and behind them was a dense Ming army.

Huang Taiji naturally recognized that thing, and hurriedly reined in the war horse. "There's an ambush!"
