Chapter 189: The Myth is Shattered, and the Heroes Are Unfamiliar
Chapter 189 [Myth Shattered, Strange Heroes]
Under Li Yan's arrangement, the position of the Ming army was extremely coquettish. And they were all gathered outside the city, and they attacked the gates, regardless of the number of places. If the Eight Banners Army wants to get out, they have to go through the city gate, and the width of the city gate can only rush seven people side by side, and this row of people can basically be described as a target.
The Ming army's cold weapons and firearms were used together, which played a role in suppressing firepower. First, use the Tiger Squat Cannon to make a shot. Although this range is not far, it is a scatter bullet, and a single shot can take down a lot of cavalry, and Qi Jiguang used this to clean up a lot of widows back then. Then several people reloaded the cannon, and the musketeers behind stepped forward and fired a shot. The flintlock pistol has a much longer range than the Three-Eyed Commander, and it can also aim and take out several enemy troops.
When these two weapons were finished and began to load, the cavalry also rushed up, and the people with the chain crossbows stood up and fired indiscriminately, and the Eight Banners Army was never able to get close to the Ming army. They also had bows and arrows, which were easily blocked by shields. The Eight Banners Army had an absolute advantage in numbers, but the situation was down.
The Eight Banners found it increasingly difficult to break out of the city, and the doors were already full of corpses. If you want to charge, you need to clean up the corpse first. Originally, the Eight Banners Army also had artillery, but when they pursued, it was all cavalry, and the infantry and artillery stayed in Zunhua City and were all captured.
Huang Taiji feels that he is in a desperate situation, and then change the door to break through? What if there were other people guarding the door with such weapons? The Eight Banners Army was completely trapped in the city, and this battle played the taste of marriage, and when it was outside, it wanted to rush in, and when it was inside, it wanted to escape. If Zhang Xinzhe was a soldier of the Eight Banners, he must be very melancholy now, and the song he wanted to sing the most would be - "We can't go back either, right?" ”
The days when wars were fought mainly by cavalry were over. The myth of the invincibility of the Eight Banners Army, when it is said now, even the Jurchens themselves do not believe it.
In fact, the establishment of the Eight Banners Army of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is not a big deal. At their peak, there were 200,000 of them, most of them cavalry. In the later period, it grew to 1.2 million, relying on the Mongol troops and the Han troops.
Except for the Battle of Sarhu, Nurhachi defeated the Ming army with 80,000 scattered troops with 60,000 Eight Banners and 20,000 Jurchen Farmers with weapons in the New Territories, and the Eight Banners did not have a precedent of winning more with less.
Battle of Shanhaiguan in 1644. The Eighth Banner Army invested 110,000 men, together with Wu Sangui's 40,000 men, for a total strength of 150,000, while Li Zicheng's troops to Shanhaiguan were only 60,000. The Qing army had an absolute advantage
In the Battle of Tongguan, the Manchus claimed to have annihilated 600,000 Li Zicheng's army. In fact, Tongguan Li Zicheng's army was only 7,000 men. The Eight Banners Army has more than 20,000 troops, and the ratio is one to three. The Eight Banners Army has an absolute advantage
In addition to repeatedly massacring innocent people, the Eight Banners Army had no record of taking action. From this point of view, the so-called Eight Banners are strong and invincible, which is fundamentally a mythical Eight Banners' combat effectiveness, which is not only greatly inferior to the Mongols, but even inferior to the Jin Army in history.
They are not invincible, but the Ming army was too weak before. How much territory did the Jin State occupy and how many battles did it win? It took Nurhachi decades, but it was only to unify the Jianzhou Jurchens, and they couldn't even pass the Shanhaiguan. If it weren't for the fact that there were too many traitors, they would never have been orthodox.
"Lay down your arms and surrender without killing," shouted the Ming soldiers who had the upper hand.
Li Yan grabbed the fire, played with it in his hand, and said, "These weapons are really powerful, much more powerful than bows and arrows." ”
Hari Chagai smiled: "This crossbow is still powerful, do you want to try it?" I'm an iron arrow, and the master said that maybe it can break your golden bell jar. ”
Li Yan stretched out his hand and said, "Oh? Give me a try. ”
Wu Jun said helplessly: "Is this the time to chat?" They don't know when they will break through again. ”
"What is the breakthrough, there are so many corpses at the city gate, and the large army can't come out." Li Yan returned the chain crossbow to Hari Chagai again, and said, "I want to rush in and catch Huang Taiji, do you dare to join us?" Otherwise, Sun Yuanhua's people will come in a while, and they will make a contribution. Now go in with muskets and crossbows, and the infantry will destroy them in the same way. ”
Hari Chagai smiled: "What is there not to do? ”
Wu Jun was also a little moved when he heard this. Capturing Huang Taiji is a great achievement.
"It's too boring to guard like this, don't be afraid of death, take the shield and crossbow and follow me, and go to see if there are any masters in the Jurchens." Li Yan said, stepping over a lot of corpses and walking towards the city.
Wu Jun was a little helpless, but he didn't persuade him, Li Yan was a master of art and bold. Hari Chagai arranged for people to continue to guard outside, and fifty people followed him and Li Yan into the city.
Huang Taiji and the others were having a headache, when they saw a team of people from the Ming army walking in.
Li Yan, who was the leader, shouted: "I am the captain of the Jinyi Guard in the capital, and I see that you don't have much confidence to break through at this time." It's better to send a master out and fight with me, and if you win, I'll let you go. ”
This is not a negotiation at all, but a provocation. A lieutenant is basically equal to a creep.
Li Yan looked reckless, but in fact, he had been observing who was calling the shots in the camp, he wanted to know which person was Huang Taiji, and then went to capture him.
"You mean let everyone go?"
Li Yan smiled: "How is it possible, how can I have so much power?" The one who wins me can leave. Why don't you sweat out and compare yourself with me? If you win, you can go back to Jinguo, although you are a little lonely by yourself. Don't worry, I've always been true to my word, unlike some people who keep saying peace, and can't wait to go to the Central Plains to find death hahaha. ”
The bloodline of the Eight Banners Army is not good enough, and they can't turn into blonde hair and glow with fire, otherwise they will definitely be able to awaken in anger and destroy the people in front of them.
Yibonobi's tears came out of his anger and said, "Great Khan, we are at this point because I went to assassinate Sun Chengzong, please let me go out to fight to kill this person." ”
Mang Gurtai also asked for war. Also asking for war was Yanguli. The other party is so provocative, if they don't fight alone, the Jurchens' proud bravery has become a laughing stock, and their face will be lost.
Huang Taiji said: "Yibo Nobi, you go, kill him." ”
Li Yan said to the people behind him: "If I kill this person, you will hold a chain crossbow." The man in the yellow coat with a pointed hat was Huang Taiji, in the crowd. Don't shoot all the horses. ”
Ebonobi drew his saber and dismounted and rushed over. Li Yan also took out his waist knife and stepped forward, he wanted to humiliate his opponent to the greatest extent and take pleasure in it, so he used the shortest knife.
As soon as he saw the dagger-like short knife in his hand, Ibonobi was furious and raised his knife to slash at the head. As soon as he saw the other party's weapon, he wanted to fight hard. Li Yan smiled with a mighty face, and he couldn't block it, his body rushed forward at the same time, and he smashed his elbow on Yibonobi's chest. The opponent who hit him retreated several steps in a row. The knife was stunned and didn't cut down.
Yibonobi looked incredulous, he felt that the opponent's arm strength could be compared to a few wrestlers in the army who could shoot a three-stone bow. Li Yan smiled slightly: "You have practiced too much? But it's not home. ”
Ibonobi has been practicing the iron cloth shirt for twenty years, and he is extremely angry. He raised his knife and went up again, and while Li Yan easily blocked his attack with his waist knife, he lightly stabbed his finger between his ribs, cutting through the skin.
Yibonobi already knew that his opponent's kung fu was simply unbelievable, and he was far behind. He blamed himself very much because of Sun Chengzong's affairs, so he wanted to fight to be seriously injured and die with Li Yan, and his move was opened. He didn't block Li Yan's knife, and attacked his vital point. Although his movements are slower, he will be saved by attacking the enemy, and he can also force Li Yan to return to defense.
"Hey, it looks like that's it. Let's take a look at what real hard work is. Li Yan said, raising his arm to block the knife when Yibonobi slashed at him. Yibonobi's strength was not too strong, and the knife was not fully swung, and Li Yan forcibly interrupted the attack with his arm.
The Jurchens were stunned, how could this be possible? That man has a weapon hidden in his sleeve? Ibonobi thinks the same way. He didn't believe anyone could have such a hard arm.
Li Yan swung his knife and slashed at the opponent's neck. Ebonobi hurriedly raised his knife to block. The knife was blocked, but Li Yan's left hand had already poked into his ribs.
Yibonobi hurriedly mustered up his strength, trying to resist the opponent's attack with an iron cloth shirt. Li Yan's left hand two fingers into the shape of a sword poked at Yibonobi's ribs, because of the practice of the golden bell jar, his fingers are particularly hard, coupled with Shaolin finger skills, directly poked into the flesh, and then changed to scratch and break
Yibo Nobi let out a miserable scream, covered his ribs and fell to the ground, Li Yan actually held one of his ribs in his hand, which was broken just now, and the iron cloth shirt was torn.
"An iron cloth shirt without internal strength is garbage." Li Yan said, stepped on it, and directly broke Yibonobi's neck.
Mang Gurtai, who was still clamoring to kill just now, has lost his temper. This man is terrifying. Huang Taiji looked at Li Yan's height and thought to himself, could this person be Huang Peng? Are you still not human?
Yibo Nobi's iron cloth shirt is the best practiced among several guards of Huang Taiji, and it can prevent swords, but it was actually broken by him with his hand, what kind of hand is he?
Li Yan shouted: "After finishing speaking, I picked up two knives and rushed towards the cavalry." ”
Hari Chagai beckoned, and the brocade guards, armed with shields and crossbows, also began to charge at the cavalry.
"Retreat, retreat" Huang Taiji has long lost the domineering spirit of the emperor. He doesn't want anything now, he just wants to leave this place, he doesn't want to die.
Li Yan rushed forward, slashed the Eight Banners to death with a knife, and turned over on his horse. The iron arrows in Hari Chagai's hand were shot in a row, and a group of people were released. The power of this bow is not comparable to that of a wooden arrow.
Huang Taiji turned around and fled under the escort of a group of soldiers, Li Yan casually cut down several people, and chased in the direction of Huang Taiji, Hari Chagai shot the arrows in the chain crossbow in one go, pulled out the dragon bone Yue behind him, and killed into the enemy formation, he also changed his heavy weapons. He snatched a horse and rode up, trying to chase after him.
After practicing the golden bell jar, as he grew older, Hari Chagai's strength increased again, and he had surpassed Aobai. The dragon bone Yue doesn't need any moves at all, as long as he swings it randomly, flesh and blood fly everywhere he goes, ordinary people can't get close, he kills into the formation, like a killing god.
The Eight Banners began to flee, although only two men were chasing them. If they gathered their strength and fought together, they might not be able to kill Hari Chagai and Li Yan, but they had already lost their morale. Fighting morale is very important.
After chasing for a while, Mang Gurtai and Yanguli were reluctant to escape, so they turned around and rushed back to Li Yan. Mang Gurtai shouted: "Come on, there is a kind of one-on-one confrontation with me"
As soon as the words fell. A knife was thrown at him. Mang Gurtai rode his horse and sprinted at full speed, not expecting the other party to throw the knife out, but it was too late to find out, and the waist knife was directly inserted into the heart. Slowly fell, Mang Gurtai was killed in seconds.
"This is called heads-up," Li Yan said, and Yang Guli left. The two fought on horseback.
When Huang Taiji turned his head, he saw the tragic death of Mang Gurtai, and he had completely lost confidence. Before the expedition, he thought that he could gain the upper hand in the confrontation with the Ming army, but now he felt that the Jin State was going to die, let them go to Korea, and then negotiate peace, which was the last chance given to them by the Ming Dynasty. He didn't catch it.
What face will I have to go to my father Khan after I die? I robbed Dorgon of the throne, and in just two years, I destroyed the foundation that my father Khan had worked so hard to build. Maybe I shouldn't have been a Khan king at all, so when my father Khan talked to me, he told me that his first choice was Dorgon, and then Daishan. He would have seen it if I had asked me to assist them well, but I had no self-knowledge.
Huang Taiji ran while reminiscing about the past. Nurhachi protected him, and did not care about him framing the concubine and Daishan, and framing Dorgon. But Nurhachi talked to him clearly, hoping that he could assist Dolgon, and said that Aobai was the hope of the Jin Kingdom, and as long as the two of them joined forces, the Jin Kingdom would definitely stand. But he robbed Dolgon of his throne and forced him away.
The Jin Kingdom was destroyed by my hands, and I am a Jurchen sinner. Thinking of this, Huang Taiji thought of committing suicide. But he felt that he couldn't die now, and he might be able to surrender and go to Emperor "Chongzhen" to beg him to leave the Jurchens a way to live. After this battle, he knew that the remaining forces of Daishan and Dolgon were not enough to hold the Kingdom of Jin, and their only choice was to go to Korea. Huang Taiji wanted to cry sadly, I'm afraid these are already in the other party's calculations, right?
Someone was chasing behind him, and after a while, Huang Taiji found that a team of Ming Dynasty cavalry appeared from the side to chase and intercept.
As long as the spies in the sky are there, the Ming army will know where Huang Taiji is running, and he will have nothing to hide.
"Great Khan, look." One of the guards pointed to the sky.
Huang Taiji looked into the sky, and there were some people floating in the air like birds and falling. He remembered the news that the spies had brought back that Huang Peng had invented something that could make people fly into the sky. He immediately thought that the Ming army could grasp the movement in the sky, and they couldn't run. can make people fly into the sky, is this Huang Peng a human or a god?
Huang Taiji sighed and said to the people around him: "Don't run away, let's surrender." ”。.。
