As the weather turned hotter, scouts from the Qing army surveyed the water along the banks of the Yellow River, and the two armies confronted each other on both sides of the Yellow River.
"Maybe I should consider sending a cavalry around the Hetao and heading straight for Moxi." Huang Taiji stood under the tent and looked at the tumbling river opposite. But in that case, how can he ensure the supply of food and grass for this strange army? If you can't get livestock from the Mongol tribes, it's a dead end. Mongolian light riding? The Mongols are not a single one!
In the direction south of the barracks, four knights galloped in, asking to meet Huang Taiji.
When he arrived in front of His Majesty's big tent, Du Du's expression was a little unsightly. The guards led him in, and Du Du first knelt down and saluted, and forcibly endured his anxiety and said: "The last general will supervise the Han Eight Banners to attack and the Han village in Lingel Mountain is unfavorable, please mobilize artillery battalions to support." ”
"Oh!" Huang Taiji then remembered that he had asked Du Du to urge the soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty to attack a cottage in the mountains of Helinger two days ago. In his head, there were nothing more than some Tumut Han pariahs.
Du Du put his head on the ground and said, "In that cottage, there are not only the Han slaves of the Tumut people, but also the people and horses of the Tumut Han tribe there. ”
"Tumuthan Division!" Huang Taiji's heart jumped. The rival who was rumored to have killed Yueto and Chechen Khan.
Du Du has bitterness and can't say, the strength of the Han village is no less than any border fort in the Ming Dynasty, the surrounding cliffs are smooth as mirrors, and some vines on them have also been cleared by the defenders. In the past few days, the defenders on the mountain seemed to be playing with him, and he urged the defenders to attack more tightly, and the resistance on the mountain also grew. By the end of the pass, more than 300 corpses were left behind, and the defenders became more and more skilled in their defenses.
Feng Qin was completely using the soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty to train the Han slaves in Tumut, and ten teams of Han slaves took turns to fight. He knew that this was the beginning of this offensive and defensive battle, and he had to familiarize these Hannu with the battlefield so that they would not be defeated when Allah attacked.
"The Han who killed Yue Tuo?" Huang Taiji raised his voice, as if he was asking for verification.
"Exactly!"
Half an hour later, a column of cavalry walked out of the coalition camp, the armor shining in the sun, this is the Imperial Forest Army of the Yellow Banner of the Great Qing Dynasty. The armor is better equipped than the white armor soldiers of the two white flags of Dolgon. The cavalry walked through the grassland into the jungle, walking unfast, until mid-afternoon, Huang Taiji finally saw the cottage in Du Du's mouth.
The mountain rises up like a pillar of stone!
The soldiers and horses of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty came to greet them, and the grassland under the mountain was as lively as a fried pot.
At the top of Hanzhai, Feng Qin heard the proclamation and came to check, looking at the posture of the new soldiers and horses, he knew that a big man was coming, of course, he didn't guess that it would be Huang Taiji who came here in person.
"Raise the flag!" Feng Qin waved his hand and ordered.
Wang Yi urged the two teams of soldiers to erect two wooden poles three or four people high on the top of the Han Village, and the two flags on the wooden poles shook and rattled in the wind. On one side of the light yellow cloth bottom, a huge "Han" character is written on it, which is the symbol of the Han Dynasty, and on the other side is a bright red cloth bottom, with the word "Yue Tuo" written on it, and a big red cross is drawn in the middle.
Dolgon's eyes were the sharpest, and when he saw the banner clearly, his eyes became as if he could kill, and his lips trembled slightly.
"Look!" Zilharang pointed his finger to the top of the mountain and gestured to the Emperor Taiji. After walking three or four hundred steps, Huang Taiji could fully see the situation on the top of the mountain.
"Too much deception!" A few shellfish behind him were gossiping and whispering.
Huang Taiji twisted his beard for a long time, his expression remained unchanged, and his tone was not in a hurry and ordered Du Du: "Capture this mountain within three days, and leave no one behind!" "Joy and anger are invisible, but it doesn't mean that the people around you can't feel his feelings.
Hanzhai is that bait, since it is difficult to escape the fate of being attacked by the Qing captives, Zhai Zhe decided to make this bait a little bigger, so big that Huang Taiji has to swallow it even if he knows that this is a bait, this is the most important part of Zhai Zhe's plan. If the Hanzhai is breached, he admits defeat, but if he captures this strong cottage, presumably the price paid by Huang Taiji will not be small. If Fengqin guards the Han Village, the sharp spirit of the Qing army will be wiped out here. The advantage of waterways can allow Hanzhai to have a way to retreat, and even if it fails, it will not cost Feng Qin's life.
The Qing Dynasty has suffered a lot of flattery and submission over the years, and the body of the enemy is all under the trampling of iron hooves, how can it have been so humiliated. Huang Taiji raised troops in the name of revenge for Yue Tuo and Chechen Khan, and now that the enemy is in front of him, if he abandons it, how will he face the Mongol tribes? Add to that the failure of Dolgonkomin last year. Prestige is a wonderful thing, sometimes it can bring you enemies, and sometimes it can bring you friends.
"The big drama is about to begin!" Seeing the cavalry at the bottom of the mountain go away without looking back, Feng Qin muttered quietly. Some people say that not being frightened by humiliation and not being afraid of danger is a state that can only be achieved by going through the ups and downs of the world, but for Feng Qin, this seems to be innate, and of course he pays a lot of money. He now had 1,200 full-fledged soldiers, 300 recruits, and 5,000 Tumuthanu, as well as more than three months' worth of food and countless gunpowder weapons.
Nothing was said all night.
Early the next morning, a carriage dragging iron cannons appeared in the eyes of the soldiers who watched from Hanzhai, and these people hurried here from the camp overnight. In this westward expedition to Mongolia, Huang Taiji did not think about attacking Jiancheng, and only brought out six iron cannons.
After arriving at the bottom of the mountain, Kong Youde did not have time to rest, and led the gunners to check the terrain. Directly opposite the first pass of Hanzhai is a flat grassland, and it is easy for artillery to find the right position. But the second pass was behind a winding mountain road, and from this point of view it looked like a pavilion suspended in mid-air, and the artillery could not do anything.
After observing for about a quarter of an hour, Kong Youde told Du Du about the general's feelings.
Du Du pondered for a long time and made up his mind: "Conquer the first pass first." Under Huang Taiji's order, his pressure increased suddenly, and the archers and artillery battalions in the army were at his disposal, and it would be a big trouble to fail to capture this cottage after three days.
The gunners were busy marking distances and positions, and the shirtless wrestlers raised their iron cannons to reach the predetermined location.
Feng Qin saw the movement under the mountain on the mountain, quickly dispatched troops, ordered the defenders of the mountain pass to retreat half, and mobilized the veterans to match, so that the three percent of the veterans were equipped with seventy percent of the new soldiers to hide behind the boulder at the pass. Although he focused on defending the second pass, the mountain gate could not be lost casually, which was related to morale.
"Boom!" The muzzle of an iron ball flew out, turning into an arc in mid-air and hitting the cliff at the foot of the mountain.
Feng Qin felt some slight tremors in the soles of his feet. It's a test gun!
Everyone in the cottage changed color, and Wang Yi's goatee seemed to be curled. In the third year of Chongzhen, Chahar Jing cavalry attacked the newly established Hanzhai, he was here, but he had never seen the power of the iron cannon.
"The garrison has an order, and the sergeants and soldiers of the army will be cut off if they make a loud noise, those who run and move around, and those who cower in battle!" The commanding soldiers raised arrows and shouted in the Han village, and five teams of twenty soldiers patrolled everywhere to calm the hearts of Hannu.
"Boom!" There was another burst of gunsmoke at the bottom of the mountain. The iron ball landed on the grass about twenty steps before the pass, embedded in the mud.
There was no one at the head of the city at the pass, and a lone flag with the word "Han" hung down on the flagpole.
66 The continuous iron ball flew non-stop, and Kong Youde spent half an hour adjusting the angle and position of the iron cannon. The people on the mountain have long been panicked, and only that thin figure can bring peace of mind to everyone.
In the middle of the day, Du Du urged the soldiers and horses attacking the mountain to get ready, and the foot soldiers and archers carrying the ladder were neatly arranged.
"Fire!" Kong Youde held his breath and roared.
"Boom......" six loud bangs and one sound.
Six iron balls struck the solid earthen wall of the pass, and the slag and gravel flew wildly, and the soldiers who hid under the city wall were in a commotion. "No noise, no movement!" The veteran drew his long knife and looked at the Han Nu beside him with a dangerous and rough look, leaving one with no doubt that he would have his head cut off if he did not obey the order.
Kong Youde was not stingy with ammunition, the iron balls were like rain, the wooden gate was bombarded, and the boulders that were blocked inside were churned.
The ghost made a miracle, and the trajectory of the iron ball's flight happened to overlap with the passage originally left in the wooden door, smashed through the earth and stones blocked inside, and rolled on the road behind the gate.
"Ahh The Hannu on both sides shouted frantically to dispel the fear in their hearts.
"Smack!" A veteran smoked a few ear scrapers from the Han slave next to him, "What is it called, don't you want to live, tighten the spear!" "Actually, they were scared too.
Half an hour later, the shelling stopped, the city was in shambles, and only half of the flagpole remained.
"Attack!" Du Du waved his knife and ordered.
The soldiers surged up like ants, and they saw the cracks in the gates of the city.
"Meet the enemy! Meet the enemy! The commander on the top of the mountain shouted, and a column of soldiers ran down the mountain road and rushed to the first pass. Hannu, who was still trembling against the wall, was picked up by the veteran, and the muzzle of the spear was pointed at the gap in the city gate.
This is the real beginning, or the soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, who were kicked in the back of the ass by Huang Taiji and Du Du and immediately changed their appearance. The Han people dragging rat-tail pigtails flocked forward, the back squeezed the front, the mountain road was narrow, it was not easy to turn around, and there was no room to retreat. The archers on the city walls don't need to aim at all, and they can hit the enemy with a single arrow.
Geng Zhongming was dressed in bright armor and rushed to the last column. This time there was no need for him to oversee the army again, and Du Du led a group of vicious Jurchens with bright swords and axes to follow. In the past, everyone was Han, but after the defeat of the previous army, the battle camp killed a few unlucky people, and the current battle situation was indeed irreversible, so they withdrew with the army. But the Jurchens don't care about this, the Han soldiers are not much different from waste in their eyes, and everyone knows that there is no difference between defeat and death. Some climbed from the ladder to the top of the city, and some rushed to the gap in the city gate smashed by the iron cannon.
The defenders at the head of the city did not seem to have reacted to the roar of the cannons, and they were caught off guard by the killing, and the Hannu was stunned, and his stiff arms waved his weapons indiscriminately.
By the time the defenders at the top of the hill rushed down, someone had already climbed up to the top of the city.
The battle situation was clearly displayed in the eyes of Feng Qin on the top of the mountain, and he really didn't expect the soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty to be like the two of them two days ago. If it goes on like this, it will become a war of attrition, and before the main lord appears, he will lose his troops, which is not the rhythm of defending the city for a long time.
"Mobilize the chariots!"
"Yes!" The pro-soldier gave up.
