Chapter 802: The Princes Who Broke the Game

On the battlefield of the Battle of Songjin, Hong Chengchou, the chief general of the Ming army, was held hostage by Mingguan, two of the eight Ming army commanders were killed by Mingguan, and Wu Sangui, the chief soldier of Ningyuan, and Wang Pu, the chief soldier of Datong, died unexpectedly.

Mingguan killed chickens and monkeys, and the remaining six general soldiers panicked at Mingguan, and did not dare to disobey Mingguan's orders, and followed Mingguan to fight to the death with the Qing army.

Mingguan personally boosted morale, and the Qing army was subjected to an unprecedented counterattack by the Ming army.

Chang Yuchun personally led the Guanning Iron Cavalry to attack the Eight Banners Cavalry!

"How is it possible, how can Wu Sangui, the main general of the Guanning Iron Cavalry, break through the first line of defense!"

Huang Taiji learned that the Guanning Iron Cavalry had broken through the defense line of the Qing army, and his face was pale.

The Ming army of the commander of the Ming Pass was like a chicken blood, breaking through the defense line of the Qing army in one fell swoop, and pounced on Huang Taiji.

The change of generals of the Ming army cannot be said in the same day, but the Qing army cannot resist.

Mingguan doesn't care about the consequences at all, anyway, as long as he wins!

Therefore, he simply killed the prison army sent by Emperor Chongzhen, killed Wu Sangui, the general soldier of Ningyuan, and Wang Pu, the general soldier of Datong, who advocated escaping, held Hong Chengchou hostage, and forcibly attacked the Qing army by means of frontal breaking.

Mingguan's way of breaking the game was simple and rude, he thought that the weapons of the Ming army were not bad, but they lacked morale, so he led this group of soldiers to fight back wildly.

The two armies fought fiercely in the area of the trench dug by the Qing army in the south of Jinzhou City, and the Qing army's red-clothed artillery roared, and the solid lead bullet pierced a Ming soldier, and the flesh and blood were blurred.

A solid bullet landed next to Mingguan's warhorse, and rubble flew down.

"At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the times have changed......"

The war horse in Mingguan was frightened, and it was not easy to restrain the war horse.

In the Ming and Qing wars, arquebuses, even flintlock pistols, and bronze cannons have become important weapons, so this battle, the Ming Pass was also extremely difficult.

Fortunately, during this period, the cavalry still played an important role, and the general's attributes had a high bonus to the cavalry, under the cover of the Ming artillery, the Ming Pass led the cavalry on a rampage, and it was hard to tear out a gap in the Qing army, and a Eight Banners was killed.

"Use the red-coated cannon to bombard the prominent cavalry of the Ming army!"

Huang Taiji led Jierharang, Azig, Aobai and other generals to attack the cavalry of Mingguan and Chang Yuchun, and the artillerymen of the Qing army lit the fuse, and the black powder burned violently!

More than a hundred red-clothed cannons roared, and the solid bullets were shot out by the thrust generated by the black gunpowder, and fell among the cavalry of the Ming army.

The original dense cavalry formation of the Ming army was scattered by artillery, and the cavalry around Ming Guan fell, and he could also die on the battlefield at any time!

The battlefield is full of gunsmoke, and the battlefield where cold weapons and firearms are intertwined is even more brutal, and even the most powerful generals may be killed by artillery.

The cavalry of the Ming army charged with billowing black smoke and gunpowder from the burning of black powder, and the Qing army used heavy arrows to fire a volley of armor-piercing arrows, and one by one the Ming cavalry fell on the way to charge.

If the Ming army suppressed the Qing army in the early period, perhaps the Ming Pass would be relatively easy, but at this time, the Qing army had the advantage, and the Ming army could only use flesh and blood to open a breakthrough.

"Li Chengliang, conquer the artillery positions of the Qing army!"

"Hong Chengchou, organize artillery and suppress the firearms of the Qing army!"

Mingguan ordered one after another, the battle of Songjin was completely different from the previous completely cold weapon battlefield, and the deterrent and suppressive power of artillery on cavalry was strengthened, so it was particularly important to seize the artillery positions of the Qing army.

The artillery of the Ming army began to return fire, Hong Chengchou brought a lot of bronze artillery, and the artillery of the two armies faced each other, and from time to time solid shells fell into the artillery positions on the opposite side.

Under the coercion of Ming Pass, Hong Chengchou was forced to command the artillery units of the Ming army to provide support.

"The battle of life and death in the Ming Dynasty is today, it must be successful!"

Hong Chengchou looked at the Qing army position opposite, there were about more than 100,000 people on both sides fighting here, which was different from the battle of Kunyang, and the battle of Songjin was extremely stale.

The Qing army was at its peak, and the Ming army was already the Ming army at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Pass mainly relied on the 40,000 elite troops brought by itself to break the formation, of course, but also with the help of the artillery that the Ming Pass did not have, but the Ming army had.

The Ming army lacked the courage to fight hand-to-hand, using relatively safe long-range weapons, and the strength to fight.

Chang Yuchun and Li Chengliang brought by Mingguan are not afraid of hand-to-hand combat at all, and Chang Yuchun even rushes to the front!

A Ming cavalry slaughtered the artillery position of the Qing army, and Li Chengliang had a suppressive effect on the Jurchen tribe and defeated the Qing cavalry protecting the artillery position!

The raised saber shook the cold light, condescendingly, and cut down the artillery of the Qing army.

The artillerymen lost the protection of the cavalry and basically had no ability to protect themselves, and were slaughtered by Li Chengliang's cavalry.

"The power of this firearm is really ......"

Li Chengliang was amazed by the power of the Qing army's red-coated cannons.

This cannon is an imitation of the naval cannons of the West in the 16th and 17th centuries, and its power is not small.

Originally, the Qing army had sixty self-made red-coated cannons, but in the extremely difficult mode, the number of red-coated cannons of the Qing army doubled to a terrifying number of one hundred and twenty.

It was precisely because of the suppression of the red-coated artillery that the cavalry at Mingguan suffered heavy losses.

After the capture of the artillery positions of the Qing army, the Ming Pass was broken, and Huang Taiji lost the weapon to suppress the Ming army, and Chang Yuchun led the cavalry to attack Huang Taiji's camp.

A large number of cavalry of the Eight Banners were killed, various Niulu were defeated, and the system was not formed, and Huang Taiji fell into collapse.

"Retreat!"

Huang Taiji's heart was completely shaken, he didn't expect the Ming army to be so crazy, after killing and wounding tens of thousands of people and losing the red-coated cannon, he finally gave up besieging Jinzhou.

The Qing army retreated like a tide, lifting the siege of Jinzhou City, and the Ming army finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"We won? In this case, can you even win? ”

Hong Chengchou and the six surviving general soldiers couldn't believe it, and changed the main general, Mingguan's strategy was to be strong head-on, and he also defeated Huang Taiji. Maybe Huang Taiji didn't expect that the Ming army would suddenly change its style.

Ming Guan looked at the battlefield of the Battle of Songjin, which was full of corpses, and in order to repel the Qing army and win, he also paid a lot of price.

……

In the Battle of Changping, the Zhao army repeatedly attacked the Qin army, killing more than 100,000 people, and the Qin army also lost tens of thousands of people, and the Zhao army never broke through the encirclement set by Bai Qi.

Bai Qi's Qin army was extremely aggressive, and the Zhao army could only hold on in the face of Bai Qi, while Lao Qin led part of the Zhao army to attack other Qin generals and exchange casualties with the Qin army.

After the Zhao army was besieged for thirty-two days, Bai Qi suddenly stopped the attack, led the Qin army to retreat, and took the initiative to give the Zhao army a passage.

"General, the Qin army is starting to retreat, we can break through!"

Zhao Kuo was already desperate, but the Qin army suddenly gave up attacking the Zhao army, leaving Zhao Kuo in a desperate situation.

"Why did Bai Qi give up attacking us? As long as he continues to surround us, sooner or later we will be completely annihilated? ”

Zhao Kuo was puzzled by Bai Qi's withdrawal of troops, and he specifically found Lao Qin and wanted to ask how Lao Qin managed to make Bai Qi withdraw his troops.

Lao Qin said slowly: "South Korea and Wei have intervened. ”

"Korea, Wei, are they enough to make King Qin retreat? These two countries have already been scared by the Qin State......"

"Korea and Wei are only external factors, and there are internal factors that are enough to shake King Qin."

Lao Qin looked at Zhao Kuo as if he was looking at a newcomer.

Zhao Kuo still couldn't understand: "What is the reason?" ”

"Annihilate the main force of the Zhao State, what Wang Qi and other Qin generals can't do, but Bai Qi can easily do it, what do you think the King of Qin will think? Bai Qi has made great achievements, if any major war that is vital to the Qin State, all of them will be Bai Qi as the main general, and from then on, the soldiers of the Qin army only know that there is Bai Qi, but there is no King of Qin. ”

"The King of Qin just wanted to gain land and population from the war with Zhao. If King Zhao cedes the land, then King Qin will get another benefit in order to curb Bai Qi's prestige, so he should withdraw his troops. ”

Lao Qin was not merciful, anyway, King Zhao cut the land, and it was not his interests that were lost.

Zhao Kuo had already understood Lao Qin's purpose of sending Jia Xu out at this time: "This is a divisive plan against the Qin State!" ”

Lao Qin's strategy is exactly the same as Qin Prime Minister Fan Sui's discord plan against Zhao State, Fan Sui may not be able to see through Jia Xu's discordant plan, but Bai Qi's military merits are too high, plus South Korea and Wei know that if the main force of Zhao State is completely annihilated, the balance between the Seven Heroes of the Warring States will be broken, and South Korea and Wei State already have plans to send troops to attack the rear of Qin State.

"Bai Qi will soon die, at the hands of his own people. The higher the military merits of the Battle of Changping, the closer his death date. This is what happens to those who have achieved great things, especially if there is no replacement. ”

Lao Qin looked at the retreating Qin army: "No matter what, the Battle of Changping broke the game through the combination of vertical and horizontal and divisive strategies, which is much less difficult than repelling Bai Qi head-on......"

On a hill near Changping, the saint-level commander Bai Qi was already aware of his ill-fated fate.

King Qin and Qin Prime Minister Fan Sui, the two asked Bai Qi to withdraw his troops, and Zhao ceded the cities currently occupied by the Qin army, as well as six new cities, and the Qin State had basically achieved its goal.

However, Bai Qi still saw other meanings in it.

If the main force of Zhao was annihilated in the Battle of Changping, the Qin army had a certain probability of capturing Handan of Zhao and directly destroying Zhao.

Bai Qi was confident that he would defeat the Three Jin Coalition forces consisting of Korea, Wei, and Zhao.

However, on the contrary, King Qin and Fan Sui were unwilling to continue fighting, and they seemed to be ...... Fear of white rises.

When a force relies too much on a military general to destroy the enemy country, then the fate of this military general is high......

"Fan Ju asked for permission for Zhao to cede land and sue for peace on the grounds that the soldiers were tired and anxious to recuperate, which was really a missed opportunity. After the end of the Battle of Changping, I resigned from illness, can I escape? I'm afraid it's also difficult. ”

Bai Qi thought of his future and resented Prime Minister Fan Sui, but when he thought that there was also the meaning of King Qin behind him, he couldn't help but shake his head.

He fought for King Qin Zhaoxiang for more than 30 years, and his military achievements were impressive, and with the rise of military achievements, King Qin could no longer give Bai Qi any reward, which was quite dangerous at this time.

The birds are all gone, and the good bow is hidden; The cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook.
