Chapter 35 Wu Sangui fell and gnawed on the mud

Wu Sangui took the opportunity to rush forward, cut off the heads of those who had been shot and Jiannu, then twisted their money rattails, turned their horses' heads and ran back.

While galloping wildly, he also held these stinky whips that had not been washed for a long time in his hands and waved them vigorously, shouting loudly: "Jiannu was defeated and retreated, and a certain Wu Sangui led the army to pursue, and returned with a hundred heads!" ”

"Good boy!" Seeing this, Yuan Chonghuan smashed his fist on the city wall, ignoring the pain, and applauded loudly.

But Houjin is Houjin after all, Jurchen is Jurchen after all, and Jiannu is Jiannu after all.

While most of the soldiers were in a state of retreat, there were still a few soldiers who wished that the defenders of the city would go out of the city to pursue him, so that they could kill him.

Therefore, when Wu Sangui and other twenty or so horsemen rang out, these brave Jiannu cavalry immediately realized that there were not many pursuers, and immediately turned their horses' heads and spontaneously formed a light cavalry team of more than 100 people, eyeing each other.

Wu Sangui's arrogant behavior completely angered them, and he no longer cared about the shells that were in danger and fell beside them, and brazenly rode his horse and chased away.

Huang Chongzhen's ears were only filled with the aftermath of the cannon's roar, and even he was a little tinnitus, so he didn't hear Yuan Chonghuan's roar, and he couldn't hear what the young Wu Sangui was shouting.

But his eyesight was not affected by the night at all, and he saw the bravery of this Ming cavalry, and he dared to pursue the prestigious Jiannu in his twenty or so horses, and he did not use brute force, but fled immediately after a blow.

He muttered to himself, "This is probably Guan Ning Tieqi, right?" At the end of the Ming Dynasty, this army dared and also had this ability, fighting against the Jiannu cavalry in the wilderness, and it was able to not fall behind, and it did not disappoint a certain person. ”

Huang Chongzhen was born a hot-blooded person, and he hoped that he could become a member of the legendary iron cavalry in the history of the late Ming Dynasty rather than become an excellent gunner.

This scene made those who were as calm as others couldn't help but boil their blood, and the belief in covering their comrades had long been engraved in their hearts.

So, he immediately fired a precise cannonball to maintain the belief in his heart.

Seeing this, Peng Hairpin Luo Li and Lao Liu also adjusted their gun positions and opened fire one after another as cover.

Although the range of the bird guns and crossbows was insufficient, they also shot one after another, cheering Wu Sangui with the sound of "bang" and "whoosh", so that he and his subordinates rode their horses through the hole and returned to the city.

Oh...... It's not necessarily true to say that it's going well, maybe it's too excited, or maybe it's too nervous.

In short, before entering the hole, Wu Sangui, who has always been confident in riding, suddenly hesitated like an old driver crossing the wide door.

He tried to reduce the speed of his horse, but he still could not avoid the tragedy of the horse's stumbling hooves, and he fell hard and rolled into the city in a very embarrassed position, and he didn't know if it was broken.

Huang Chongzhen didn't see this little episode, and he didn't know that this kind of bloody behavior that he yearned for and admired was actually done by Wu Sangui, a famous person in the history of the Ming Dynasty.

He didn't even know that this kid was actually in Ning Yuan's army.

However, in any case, the third day of the Battle of Ningyuan ended with a great victory for the defenders.

According to the exaggerated figures reported by the four major guards, Yuan Chonghuan made a rough estimate after making a regular discount, and came up with the following data: more than 3,000 enemies were killed and countless enemies were injured; Most of them are armored slaves and serfs, and there are not a few descendants of Jiannu, the soldiers of the Eight Banners.

Of the 3,000 enemies killed, 2,000 were obtained in front of the Yongqing Gate, which was attacked by the main attack, and most of the soldiers of the Eight Banners were also killed in the holes in the city walls there.

This is the brilliant result of the hard work of all the soldiers, even Yuan Chonghuan, a Confucian scholar, personally put on the battle, compared with any previous war between Ming and Jin, this record is enough to be proud of.

Therefore, although he knew that tomorrow's battle would be far more cruel than today's, he did not immediately urge his subordinates to repair the city defenses, but joined in a brief celebration with the soldiers and civilians.

After Zu Dashou took the initiative to have a big bear hug with him, Yuan Chonghuan set his eyes on the horse-faced battle platform on the far left, which was the design he thought was the most sword-oriented, very sharp.

Now, because of the existence of the artillery crew, great results have been achieved, and it can even be said that at the most critical time of today's battle, it has played a role in stabilizing the morale of the army and killing all sides.

According to Zu Dashou's introduction of putting gold on his face, Yuan Chonghuan had already learned that the artillery team originally set by himself had already been shot by Jiannu's archers because they were too stupid.

They were replaced by Zhou Ji's team, which was defended by themselves day and night.

And the person who is the main gun is Huang Chongzhen, who once made him suspect that it was Hou Jin's fine work.

Yuan Chonghuan saw the figure of the young man from a distance, and in the faint light of the fire, he didn't seem to be much complacent, but maintained the cannon step by step and selected the shells.

After completing his part, he helped his comrades repair the city defense and replenish the city defense equipment.

This kind of work attitude that can be called a race against time made Yuan Chonghuan, who rarely recognized others, still show a trace of appreciation on his elegant face after all, nodded lightly, and told Zu Dashou to be rewarded, and walked down the city wall.

Zu Dashou did not break his promise, and there was meat for dinner.

Although it is only a pot full of dried plum vegetables with a little minced meat, there are still many people in the world who are hungry, and people are starving to death every day at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it is a luxury to be able to eat such meals.

After all, they are all big stomachs, and they fought desperately for a day, only relying on a little dry food in the middle, and they didn't care about hunger when the battle was fierce, and as soon as the battle was over, they couldn't wait to use piping hot food to immediately fill up their stomach and intestines.

Especially when buckets of steaming food were carried up the city wall by the soldiers and prepared to be divided like pigs.

Whether it is a veteran or a newcomer, they can't wait to pounce on it and stuff their heads into the rice bucket to become a real happy rice bucket.

Therefore, after distributing a full pot with a broken coarse porcelain bowl, a group of soldiers who lived after the war ate so happily, especially the arrogant gang leader also said - after eating, tonight, there is enough food.

A group of rice buckets were eager to immediately pour the hot food into their stomachs and then go to the second pot.

Only Huang Chongzhen put his broken bowl on the city wall to dry for a while, wrapped the last straw mat neatly on the cannon body, and then picked it up and began to eat.

He knew how eating too hot and too fast could affect his stomach, so he was neither devouring or slowing down like some starving ghost reincarnated.

In short, he is not in a hurry, and even eats with a calm demeanor that young people are extremely lacking.

The appearance of the "old Ka Ka" looks like a big soldier outside Shanhaiguan who has exchanged his life for food, and he doesn't match at all, but he looks like a big family in the splendid Jiangnan who has been trained by all his might.

Huang Chongzhen ate the coarse millet rice in the bowl, and felt that the food was quickly converted into heat and nutrition under the digestion of this young body.

Then, it was quickly transported to all parts of the body, and even the fingertips and toes felt warm.

Huang Chong is really a person who comes to be safe and content.

Therefore, I felt warm in my heart, so I smiled warmly.

"Why are you laughing?" A slightly hoarse baritone broke his physical and mental self-regulation.

Huang Chongzhen used bamboo sticks and chopsticks to slash the last bite of brown rice into his mouth, chewed a few times and swallowed it into the energetic esophagus, looked up and saw that it was Yuan Dashuai, and his first thought was: "Why is this guy here again?" ”

said on his lips: "It's fun to have meat to eat, and mark the rewards of Xie Dashuai and the general." ”

Only then did the soldiers nearby understand what a precious opportunity this was, and they hurriedly followed: "Thank you to the marshal and the general." ”

"Okay, okay, they're all top men, don't all become sycophants." Yuan Chonghuan waved his hand irritably, in exchange for a group of heroes who admired him even more.

Yuan Chonghuan glared at Huang Chongzhen fiercely, and suddenly said solemnly: "I have a few very serious questions to ask you now, and I hope you will answer them truthfully." ”

"Okay." Huang Chongzhen nodded casually, and was glared at by Zu Dashou again, saying that he had a "bad attitude", which made him feel very helpless.

Yuan Chonghuan said: "The art of firing artillery is the top secret of our army, where did you learn it?" ”

Huang Chongzhen grinned and said, "I learned two days ago, and I sold it today." ”

Yuan Chonghuan's face sank, and he asked again: "What about the technique of screening cannonballs?" ”

"Without him, only the hand is familiar."

"So, you think you're smart, don't you?" Yuan Chonghuan felt that he was about to lose control of himself, and he really wanted to beat this kid fatly, but he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to beat this calf-like kid, so he had to grit his teeth and sneer.

Who knew that Huang Chongzhen scratched the back of his neck shyly, but said as a matter of course: "That's nature." How can there be stupid soldiers under the commander? But no matter how smart he is, I'm afraid it's still a little worse than the big handsome. ”

This sycophant, even Zu Dashou, who is very good at this, stared at his eyes and gave a thumbs up.

Yuan Chonghuan was even more directly amused, and sighed deeply: "No matter what, you have indeed made great contributions in today's battle, and your existence is indeed of great benefit to our army." Count you kid through. ”

"Thank you, Sir." Huang Chongzhen gave a military salute from the bottom of his heart.

Yuan Chonghuan felt that this action was very simple but quite solemn, so he returned the salute decently, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and then turned around to leave.

"Handsome ......" Huang Chongzhen stopped him, and stopped talking.

Yuan Chonghuan turned sideways and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Huang Chongzhen clenched his fists and said seriously: "Can you allow me to stay in the blacksmith shop tonight?" ”

Yuan Chonghuan suddenly turned around and stared into his eyes, wanting to see some changes in them.

But in the eyes of deep vicissitudes, there are only clear, calm, and fearless eyes.

And this young man's national character face is very resolute, with that shallow smile, it looks neither humble nor arrogant and extremely solemn.
