At the foot of Beishan Mountain, Huang Taiji held the horn gun in his hand, his face was very ugly, the gun in his hand was searched in the morning, from a Dengzhou soldier who was killed by a bow and arrow, and also captured several Dengzhou wounded, but unfortunately the capture was not much.

Like the rules of the night camp of the Qi family's army, the night camp of Houjin requires that each party be trustworthy, not to leave the defense line, and to attack only after receiving a clear order from the commander. And last night's situation was different from usual, the earthen wall was attacked by the Ming army during the day, the various departments delayed for a long time, and did not form a solid defense at night, and the Ming army seized the opportunity to attack at night, and the Ming army advanced along the inner side of the earthen wall, causing great confusion to the Houjin soldiers, and the surrounding people and horses also faced the feint attack of the Ming army, and did not rush to the rescue, so that the deep Wuzhen Chaoha was also pursued by the Ming army, and their three newly made field guns were destroyed two.

The Yellow Banner and Wuzhen Chaoha in the middle of the road were all hit hard, more than 500 soldiers of Abatai were killed and wounded 150 people, and more than 300 were killed by both sides of the enemy and the enemy under the chaos of the Mongols and Baoyi, and the newly replenished Wuzhen Chaoha fled in all directions, many soldiers trampled on each other and caused casualties, and even some of them were found in the morning, and finally lost more than 200 people.

The important murder weapon that caused this rout was the stubby horn gun in front of him, its length was only about two feet, and it seemed from the paper-wrapped bullets carried by the Ming army that eight small lead bullets or four large lead bullets were fired at a time, and the vision was not clear at night, most of them were close combat, and it was almost impossible to escape from the attack of this kind of gun, and it was possible to hit two or three people with one shot.

Huang Taiji didn't ask, this was a melee weapon, and what he was most worried about was how many secret weapons there were in Dengzhou, and yesterday's night attack made the Houjin troops demoralized. Huang Taiji knew that Yan zhòng was sexual, and he didn't even hold a military meeting in the morning, so he first called Abatai to understand the situation.

Huang Taiji knew that it was not appropriate to force after the new defeat, so he did not convene a meeting of ministers today. Instead, he summoned Abatai and carefully inquired about the battle, accompanied by Sonny and Gao Hong.

"Seven Baylor, tell me about your setup last night."

Huang Taiji's tone could not hear joy and anger, but Abatai could feel the kind of indifference, his descendants had suffered heavy losses, with his status, and then the supplement all depended on Huang Taiji's face, so his status had been reduced.

"Back to the Great Khan. The minions had 100 archers and 100 armored soldiers at the rear of the passage, and 500 Han soldiers led by the general army of Wuzhenchao Hama in the rear. It is not the same as the earth-shaking thunder, the whole body is a coarse porcelain sharp head, the farthest even to twenty steps in the air to explode, there are still that kind of bamboo basket ten thousand enemies in the vicinity, the intersection is particularly invested by the enemy, the white smoke in the formation is blind, and the people and horses are panicked for a while. Later, a group of Dengzhou soldiers used this big gun to charge into battle, and one shot can withstand several arrows, and it will be ...... when it is cast in turns."

Huang Taiji frowned, Abatai is also an old fighter. There is no mistake in deployment, there is no problem in dealing with the general Ming army, even if it is the Dengzhou musket that has been seen, it is enough to deal with it. Who knew that such a group of people suddenly came out, all with short guns and porcelain bullets.

"Their kind of catapult is also very difficult to deal with, and its large stone projectiles fly high and fall. After being able to hit the earthen wall, if it is hit, it will never survive, and a few cannons will be fired from time to time during the day......"

As soon as he said this, there was a muffled thunderous cannon sound on Lushun's side, and Huang Taiji turned his head to look, and could see several small black dots rising from behind the Lushun earthen wall, and then slammed heavily around the Houjin earthen wall, making a dull landing sound. One of them just hit the earthen wall, and the earthen wall was almost collapsed by the debris of the earthen wall, and the other two hit the back of the earthen wall, causing the surrounding Houjin soldiers to flee in all directions.

"Take me to see the captured Dengzhou soldiers." Huang Taiji stood up and said.

Abatai hurriedly led the way and took Huang Taiji to the yellow flag military camp not far away, which was close to the mountains to the north, and the artillery of Xiguan Mountain could not hit them, so they could provide rest for Abatai's own men and horses nearby.

Huang Taiji entered the camp surrounded by Goshha, and the open space inside was full of clothes, and they had no tents, so they slept in the open air, and from some of the tents came this scream, it was some wounded soldiers with yellow flags.

Huang Taiji was accustomed to killing, and did not move, and followed Abatai to a tent, in which there were three soldiers, all of whom had been captured last night, one of whom was shot in the leg with a bow and arrow, and the other two were wounded in the torso, and Abatai did not bandage them, leaving them to destroy themselves.

Goshha brought a chair, and after Huang Taiji sat down, several Bayala with yellow flags went up to pick up the wounded soldiers on the ground, grabbed their heads, and turned their faces to face Huang Taiji, the soldier with the wounded leg clearly showing fear on his face.

"Don't hurt them." Huang Taiji said gently, "Go and move a few chairs and let them sit and talk." ”

"Dog Tartar!" One of the wounded Dengzhou soldiers shook his eyes open, barely raised his head and spat out, and the saliva fell weakly halfway through.

A sturdy white-armored soldier drew his knife and was about to slash and kill, Huang Taiji waved his hand to stop him, and asked the Dengzhou soldier disapprerovitously: "I am the Great Khan of Houjin, you have been deceived by that Chen Xin, and there are a lot of rumors and slanders about my Dajin, I don't blame you, in the future, you will know how Dajin is, and some time ago I also captured Dengzhou soldiers, and there are not a few people who are willing to vote for my Dajin." ”

"Dog Tartar, it turns out that you are Huang Taiji, you killed many of our Han people in Liaodong, you also robbed Tang Xiaoxiao, killed Yang Gang's family, and many, many others."

"Tang Xiaoxiao?" Huang Taiji had a bunch of question marks on his head, he never expected the soldier to say such a name, how did he know that it was from an opera, but he didn't care, he had killed a lot of Han people.

"I can't let you go to Dengzhou if I die, I won't vote for you, I have Lord Chen at home when I die, don't think about it, Lao Tzu is a miner, Lord Chen said that we are the most fierce soldiers, Lao Tzu is indeed more fierce than your soldiers who built slaves......

The soldier chattered, his voice was low, all scolding Jiannu, Huang Taiji saw the knife wound in his abdomen, nodded to Sonny next to him, Sonny gave an order, several fierce Goshha rushed over and slashed the limbs of the Nadengzhou soldier with his scabbard, breaking all the bones of his limbs, the soldier spread on the ground, let out a low wail, and began to chant words again after a while.

The strong white armor leaned over, heard that he was still scolding, and slashed off his head with a knife in anger, blood spilled all over the ground, and Huang Taiji turned his head to look at the other two. "Foolish and stubborn, I am not afraid to kill a few more, if you are willing to do things for me, I will immediately raise the flag for you......"

"I'll carry your mother's flag, dog Tartar." In addition, the Dengzhou soldier who was injured in the abdomen was not frightened at all, his face was flushed, and his breath was uneven, and he scolded, "You cut Lao Tzu together, Lao Tzu has a son to take revenge." ”

Huang Taiji nodded at the white armor, and the second Dengzhou soldier separated, and then he turned to the last Dengzhou soldier. The soldier was wounded only in the leg, and his whole body was shaking like chaff.

"Pick this strong man up, be polite." Huang Taiji's tone became gentle again.

The Dengzhou soldiers peeked at the surrounding Jin soldiers and said intermittently, "Thanks." Thank you for that, sir. ”

"Dog minion, call master!" The white-armored soldier shouted angrily again.

Huang Taiji shouted at him in a low voice, "Ao Bai retreat, this strong man is new, I don't know that these rules are excusable, don't let people misunderstand my Dajin as a barbarous person." ”

Beads of sweat appeared on the foreheads of the Nadengzhou soldiers. Waiting for Huang Taiji's question.

Huang Taiji looked at it carefully, and the soldier in front of him was only seventeen or eighteen years old, with dark skin, "What is the name of this little strong man?" What is the job in Dengzhou Town? ”

"Small, villain He Chang, is a detachment of the third battalion of Dengzhou Town, and was transferred to the fourth battalion yesterday to defend against night attacks. Accidentally hurt my leg, risk. Offended the adult, the villain, the villain did not kill. ”

Huang Taiji waved his hand and said: "The war is to kill people, each is his master, I will not pursue it." Do you use that kind of self-generated musket with bayonets? ”

"Yes, we are in Dengzhou...... The town of Naden is called a flintlock pistol. ”

Huang Taiji looked at Gao Hongzhong next to him, and when the two heard the change in his title, they knew that this person had been frightened, and it was easy to surrender. They also captured some Dengzhou soldiers in the previous battles, there were sentry cavalry, spearmen, and musketeers, five or six of whom surrendered, and he was generally clear about the base of Dengzhou, and he was very interested in the detachment, judging from the battles of Fuzhou and Shenmi Island, this detachment was flexible, and the person captured alive this time was very timely.

Huang Taiji didn't say anything for the time being, took the horn gun in Goshha's hand and continued to ask: "What do you call this gun?" ”

"Horn gun, my subordinates also came to Lushun to see it, only combat sappers use this kind of gun."

"Oh, they call them combat sappers? What do you do? Huang Taiji also heard the word engineer for the first time, there was no professional engineer in the Ming Dynasty, in fact, even Chen Xin did not, because he did not have a large-scale pursuit of operations for the time being, and there was no need to open roads and bridges in the mountains and rivers, and the basis was that the auxiliary soldiers undertook all the labor.

He Changjiu didn't know, he hesitated and said: "The villain doesn't understand either, but some of them are in charge of laying mine cannons, and most of them use this gun and porcelain to make small earth-shaking thunder." ”

Gao Hongzhong whispered to Huang Taiji: "Great Khan, it seems that he is in charge of the camp in charge of breaking the city. ”

Huang Taiji nodded slightly, Gao Hongzhong continued: "This Dengzhou Town is the most different from the ordinary Ming soldiers and horses, that is, the firearms are not refined, and the firearms are not complicated, and the firearms used by the Ming soldiers and horses in the past are numerous, but none of them can be used, but this Dengzhou Town is the several, it is extremely convenient to use, even if there are two or three new ones in Lushun, the total number is not much, it seems to be quite particular, but the slaves can't say it for a while." ”

Huang Taiji sighed and said: "This is exquisite, in fact, you have already said that their men and horses for different purposes use different weapons, so the muskets of the detachment carry bayonets, and the spear formation does not, this combat engineer is even more so, but its number is definitely not much." ”

After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes and pondered for a while, he could roughly outline the composition of Chen Xin's army through the battlefield information he had recently obtained, with a mixture of mandarin duck formations, spears, artillery, and cavalry, and this combat engineer was a small number of troops, which were only used for specific operations such as breaking cities and night raids. It seems that there are many ways in this firearms, establishment, and training, and those soldiers can only reflect one side after another, and Huang Taiji has not been able to form Chen Xin's military planning into an overall concept.

That He Chang saw that this Tartar didn't speak, he became even more nervous, and waited for a while in fear, Huang Taiji suddenly raised his head and asked, "Who is that Tang Xiaoxiao?" I have heard at least three Dengzhou soldiers insult Yu Yu for her, why do they all know this woman? ”

He Changchang was stunned and replied: "It's a play performed by the propaganda team, called." ”

Gao Hongzhong asked strangely, "What is it talking about?" ”

He Chang hesitated for a while before saying: "That Tang Xiaoxiao is a Liaodong woman, and she was married to Houjin Khan...... robbed, the whole family was also killed by the Great Khan, and they found someone to play the Great Khan, because everyone thought that the Great Khan had killed Tang Xiaoxiao. ”

Gao Hongzhong and Huang Taiji were stunned for a moment, and Gao Hongzhong said angrily: "This Chen Xinwei is really hateful. ”

Huang Taiji laughed out loud, and then turned into laughter, and it took a long time to stop, he stood up and whispered a few words to Gao Hongzhong, and then walked out of the tent, and Gao Hongzhong behind him went over and said to He Changjiu, "If you are willing to serve the Great Khan, the Great Khan allows you to carry the flag into the yellow flag, reward three cows and coat five people, and you choose three women to ......"

Huang Taiji stopped outside the tent, a cannon rang out on the opposite side of Xiguan Mountain, the entire west side of the earthen wall was under its threat, many soldiers made dodge actions, and then those flying guns also fired a volley, Huang Taiji knew that this was a harassment tactic, Lushun was much more difficult to fight than Da Linghe, and it was difficult for the Houjin soldiers to have a sense of security behind the earthen wall.

"The order is given to all the banners, that today only the trenches shall be dug with coats, and the arrows shall be scattered by the archers, and shall not be dense, but shall not be cut off. All flags should be well prepared, all passages of the earthen walls should be dug up, wooden planks should be put on them for passage, and wooden planks should be removed at night......"

After Bayala rushed to the flags to give orders, Huang Taiji looked at Lushun and shook his head gently, "What kind of person is this Chen Xin, he can come up with such a damaging trick." ”
