Chapter 379: Under the Mighty City (1)

Hong Chengchou saw that Emperor Chongzhen didn't speak, so he went straight to the point: "Your Majesty, the minister's second strategy is to send internal money to reward the army." As the saying goes, there will be brave men under the reward......"

"That's it!" Emperor Chongzhen shouted angrily and interrupted Hong Chengchou's words.

"This matter will be discussed later-" Emperor Chongzhen stood up with a "Teng" sound, flicked his robe, and walked out of the Qianqing Palace in a fit of rage.

In the main hall, only Shoufu Wen Tiren and Jiliao Governor Hong Chengchou looked at each other.

……

The people of Beijing have experienced the most thrilling scene of their lives!

Tens of thousands of Eight Banner troops of the Houjin Kingdom lined up in formation, showing a magnificent military appearance. The eight sides are divided into yellow, yellow, red, red, white, white, blue, and blue flags set up in front of the army, and the bright colors are flying in the air, which is very conspicuous. And the generals and soldiers of the Jin Kingdom under it are all military uniforms of the same color, which are neat and uniform, and they are clear at a glance.

In front of the two big flags of Zhenghuang and inlaid with yellow, a war horse covered with yellow iron armor sat tall and sat Huang Taiji, the "Khan of the Great Golden Kingdom" wearing gold armor and wearing a golden battle helmet. His figure was tall and burly, his face was strong and mighty, and the golden armor on his whole body was shining, making his whole person look like a god of war descending from the sky, and ordinary people would tremble with fear even if they only looked at it.

At the same time, Huang Taiji, who was dressed in golden armor, was sweating like rain at the moment, and the whole person was about to faint. After Nuerhachi's death, he hadn't stood in front of the battle in such heavy armor for many years.

But this time it's different, after all, it's the capital of the enemy country...... Huang Taiji bit his lip and began to curse Fan Wencheng's ghost idea in his heart. For this kind of "appearance" of Raushzi, his waist is about to break!

Of course. Mr. Fan's calculations were accurate. The effective firing range of the Hongyi cannon was within two miles, and the place where the Great Khan Huang Taiji appeared was three miles away from the city wall of Beijing......

However, due to the high city walls of Beijing. In addition, the terrain is open, and the three-mile land is only about 1,500 meters, so naturally it is also clear at a glance.

Huang Taiji was surrounded by twenty guards, one of whom was holding a large wooden pole, and the wooden pole was full of human heads, all of whom were the generals of the Ming Kingdom who had died in battle, and the top few were several chief military officers of Xuanfu and Datong!

Just such a scene has already made the defenders of the capital who are standing at the head of the city watching their hearts tremble. I couldn't move my whole body, and I couldn't even move if I wanted to.

And at this moment, a drum beat thundered like thunder, almost bursting everyone's eardrums. As soon as the drum stopped, Huang Taiji immediately pulled out the waist knife he was wearing, and swung forward with a "swish", and a large number of shield carts densely followed the city wall.

These shield carts were shielded by large wooden planks covered with cooked cowhide, apparently to defend against the artillery of the Ming defenders.

The Hongyi cannon is not like the "Katyusha" of later generations. The boom and boom are non-stop, and even if the cannon imported from the West can only fire three salvos, it will take a long time to cool down. And all the Western cannons are in Liaodong, the Hongyi cannons of the Beijing Division. They are all "domestic goods", and it is good to be able to play two rounds, and some cannons can't even fire a single shot. It's just a decoration......

Jiannu did not know about these circumstances, and they thought that the artillery of the Jingshi Division must be more powerful than Ningyuan and Jinzhou. As a result, many concerns have arisen.

However, the newly appointed "Qinwang Soldiers and Horses Metropolitan Governor" Hong Chengchou knew that if Jiannu knew the reality of the Jingshi Hongyi cannon. Then there is no need to defend the capital!

Therefore, Hong Chengchou decided to fight with his back to the city, even if the battle was slightly discordant, he must not let the Jurchens wonder why the Ming army was not **.

Soon the gate of Desheng Gate opened, and the 40,000 horses of Xuanfu and Datong went out of the city to line up!

The distance between the two sides was already very close, and the Jurchens, on the one hand, admired the courage of the Ming army, and dared to go out of the city to fight? On the other hand, Huang Taiji didn't see the clues, but the Ming army was in front of Emperor Chongzhen, so he naturally wanted to fight to the death.

At this moment, Zhang Zhang and 3,000 musketeers are also assisting in the defense of Desheng Gate.

Although Hongdu wanted to get rid of tension before, when he saw the 30,000 soldiers brought by tension, he immediately changed his mind - Nima, he was worried that the troops were not enough, and if he wanted to shake tension, he had to wait for the Tartars to retreat!

I have to admit that Hong Dudu is still a person who "knows the soldiers", and he is quite clear about the elite degree of the Tuanshan Army, and a few days ago, Hong Chengchou personally sent more than 100 truckloads of grain and grass to Lugou Bridge to reward the army.

Zhang Zhang knew that at the moment, someone Hong still needed to borrow the mountain army! Anyway, don't be in vain, Hong Dudu is so "goodwill", and the tension is also happy to be confused.

For a time, the Jiliao army was monolithic, as if they were united to fight against foreign enemies.

Since the Tuanshan Army belongs to the Jiliao Army, it is the descendant of Hong Dudu - although only Hong Chengchou himself thinks so, so the cannon fodder that goes out of the city to fight at the moment is the Xuanda Army, and the Jiliao Army is all defending on the city wall.

Hong Chengchou's strategy stabilized the defense line of the Wuding River, so the Jiliao army was still mainly to prevent the Wuding River, and the three battalions of the Xuanda Army and the Beijing Division were the main defenders of the city, which is why Zhang Li only brought 3,000 people to assist in the defense. The main force of the Tuanshan Army was still stationed near the Lugou Bridge.

Zhang Li looked at the battle situation under the city, and his brows furrowed deeply - in war, troops are not omnipotent, but no troops are absolutely impossible. If the 30,000 regiments of mountain troops come to independently fight against the more than 100,000 Jiannu army, I am afraid it will not work......

Zhang Li stood next to Mu, Gao Yuanliang sat on the Lugou Bridge, and Mu led three thousand musketeers to follow Zhang Zhang to assist in the defense.

Zhang Li frowned slightly, and said to the wood: "Tartar is going to make a move-"

Mu was shocked and hurriedly looked at the battlefield!

The distance between the soldiers on both sides of the city was already very close, and in an instant, about 10,000 Jurchen archers jumped out from behind the shield cart in an orderly manner, and ran forward in two columns for more than a dozen steps, with a loud "snap", the Tartars in the first row knelt down on one knee, and the Tartars in the second row stood up after five steps. Their movements were uniform and very fast, and they were stunned to see the Ming troops on the city wall.

Immediately after, the first guard to the left of Huang Taiji let out a loud shout. The Ming army under the city didn't understand the Jurchen language, and it sounded a little unclear, so it was too late to respond-

The cheers continued, and more than 10,000 Tartar shooters had already begun to launch!

In an instant, the feathered arrows shot out by the Tartars shot towards the position of the Xuan army like flying sand and stones, covering the sky like black clouds, and the strength was extremely great, and the Xuan army immediately let out a miserable howl, and suddenly became a mess......
