Chapter Eighty-Six: The Eight Banners of Flooding

Hearing the roar of the cannons, Huang Taiji knew that this city would not be able to be captured.

The power of the Ming army's artillery in the Battle of Ningyuan is still remembered to this day. These Ming people did not dare to fight in the field, so they knew that they relied on the city wall and firearms to be majestic. He also invented a 10,000-strong enemy with a quilt wrapped in explosives and threw it down, and many Eight Banners soldiers became barbecues.

Sure enough, the cannon at the head of Jinzhou City made a terrible loud noise, spraying brilliant flames, and blew up the shield cart wrapped in cowhide into the sky, along with the soldiers behind the shield cart. The shield charioters continued to advance and were constantly killed, but under the cover of the corpses of their comrades, they finally came to the city and began to erect ladders on the city walls.

The archers fired from their backs to cover, and the soldiers in the rear kept climbing up the ladders that were set up on the ramparts. So one side began to climb up desperately, and when it climbed up, it won. Yifang desperately stopped the other party from climbing up, resisted and won. After all, the side at the head of the city had more advantages, and used everything that could be used, stones, rolling wood, and fire oil were all basic operations, and the most terrifying thing was the ten thousand lands that made the Eight Banners fearful. Wherever the cotton wrapped in straw and gunpowder was thrown away, the burnt Eight Banners soldiers were rolling all over.

The first wave of attacking Eight Banners was defeated under fierce resistance.

"Fuck! These cowards know that cats are throwing stones at the head of the city! Seeing that the first wave of the offensive had been frustrated, Mang Gurtai looked at the city wall and hated the tunnel.

"Great Khan? Now what? ”

Huang Taiji didn't know what to do, it would be better if there was no cannon. As soon as the cannon fired, flowers bloomed everywhere it went.

The Eight Banners are not afraid of any battle, but they can't be sent to death, right? In just a few moments, hundreds of soldiers died. And that's just a tentative attack. It seems that in the first battle of Ningyuan, the Ming army tasted the sweetness and began to pay more attention to firearms.

"Attack the western wall."

Huang Taiji gave the order. Maybe there are no cannons to the west?

But the truth disappointed him, and the sound of cannons from the city made him a little depressed. Hundreds more soldiers were killed in the siege.

We can't do that anymore.

No!

Can't fight anymore!

Jinzhou does not have to be defeated, we are here to grab some food and drink to continue our lives, not to run to the city to die.

So Huang Taiji decided not to fight.

He led the army around Jinzhou City and crossed the Xiaoling River in a mighty way. Then I came to Dafu Fort, but at this time, Dafu Fort was empty, and there was not a single living person in it. After a lot of scourging, I only found a small number of useful things. Then there is Daxing Fort and Linmu Chong Fort. But nothing was gained. Everyone retreated to Jinzhou in advance.

Then Huang Taiji and Mang Gurtai had a disagreement.

Huang Taiji advocated retreat, because further on would be Ningyuan.

Mang Gurtai advocated continuing to move forward and attacking Ningyuan Zhongzuo, that is, Tashan Fort. He firmly believed that with the combat effectiveness of the Ming army, he simply did not have the courage to go out of the city to fight in the field. The defense line in the Ningjin area is similar to his own back garden.

"Great Khan, I think we should just separate and get together and grab nothing. The Ming people don't dare to go out of the city, where can we go outside this Shanhaiguan? ”

Huang Taiji still disagreed, thinking that he could successfully capture Jinzhou City, relying on Jinzhou, steadily and steadily advancing step by step, but who knew that Jinzhou City, which he had beaten down by himself, was now so strong. Even if it is defeated, it will inevitably suffer heavy losses, which is not in line with the purpose of sending troops. Looking at the impatient Mang Gurtai, Huang Taiji couldn't wait to kill this fifth brother who was jumping in front of him all day long.

Thinking of this, Huang Taiji suddenly thought about it.

"I even have the fifth brother being brave and good at fighting the blue flag soldiers, so it is better for the fifth brother to be the vanguard and lead his subordinates to continue to advance. My eldest brother and second brother and I followed closely behind, if the Ming army did not go out of the city, if they went out of the city, they would not return. ”

When Mang Gurtai heard it, this feeling was good. Those rats nesting in the hole dare to run out? I am a pioneer in the blue flag, but I really grabbed a good thing when I was in the past, so I don't have to share it tightly? immediately agreed, and led his 6,000 soldiers to the direction of Tashan Fort.

Huang Taiji fell behind not far away, as for whether Mang Gurtai would be ambushed. It's best to die outside, just go back and incorporate the positive blue flag.

But this time Huang Taiji was wrong again.

There was no one at Fort Tower Hill either.

Then there are no people in Shahe'er Fort, Changling Mountain Fort, Baitayu Fort, and Xingshui County Fort.

What about people?

They all fled to the city.

Before the war, Zu Da Shouren reported the news of the attack of Jiannu to the imperial court. Zhu Youzhen received the Tang report and knew it after a little thought. The last big defeat, coupled with the attack on the Jin merchants, Jiannu came to attack at this time, and he must have nothing to eat.

So he ordered Ning Yuan's general army to be full of Gui, and let him fortify the wall and clear the wilderness, and defend the city.

Man Gui's execution was very strong, and after getting the news, he immediately moved all the soldiers and civilians of each fort to Ningyuan City. Leave empty fortresses behind. Mang Gurtai didn't catch anything, and turned back in a rage to join the big army.

Huang Taiji was also surprised, what a thing. When did Akito become so wasted? Six thousand soldiers and horses are placed in front of you and you don't fight? Mang Gurtai was a little frustrated, but he still looked like he was strategizing in front of Huang Taiji.

"I'll just show that people don't have the guts, look, there's nothing wrong."

Huang Taiji gritted his teeth in anger, but he couldn't bear to say a word.

"Do you have any good advice for the eldest brother and second brother?" He set his sights on Daizen.

"Ming people are cunning, and they can't shrink out. I don't think I can make any money if I spend it any longer. Why don't you go to the east? Dai Shan frowned, pondered for a while, and said.

"That's right! Hit North Korea! Amin's eyes lit up and he agreed. He is good at fighting North Korea, and he did it once the year before last, and he is familiar with the road.

Huang Taiji also nodded, although he had just signed the Pyongyang Alliance with North Korea the year before last, but now he was in an embarrassing situation, so he could only borrow some food from them.

After some deliberation, it was decided that without further ado, they would leave immediately.

The next day, the army came to Xiaoling River again unimpeded.

"Haha, my Eight Banners Army is invincible in the territory of the Ming people, and even the river has been cut off." Mang Gurtai was overjoyed, and immediately led the crowd to start crossing the river, and did not even leave the bridge.

Huang Taiji also crossed the river with him, and stood on the north bank of the river, looking at the army that was crossing the river. I always feel that something is not right, how can it be cut off?

Not good!

Hit the trick!

Huang Taiji hurriedly ordered the army that had already gone down to the river not to delay and to cross the river as soon as possible. But it was too late, and there was a rumble upstream. When everyone heard this, their faces changed greatly! Again the pace was picked up.

But no matter how fast and how fast to cross the rushing river, for a while, the Eight Banners Army still in the middle of the river was overturned on their backs.

Huang Taiji ordered people to rescue the soldiers in the river, and at the same time ordered people to be on strict guard, and there were nearly 20,000 soldiers who had crossed the river at this time, and there were several thousand infantry on the south bank, most of them shield chariots and archers.

A sense of foreboding hung over him.

Soon, his hunch came true.

The sound of rumbling horses' hooves came from afar, and at a glance, there were at least three thousand cavalry.

The infantry on the south bank reacted immediately, pushing their carts in formation, ready to defend against the cavalry attack.

But in a hurry, where is there still time. The archers had just fired two arrows when the cavalry rushed closer.

Charge, divide, eliminate.

On the other side of the river, Huang Taiji watched the cavalry with three-eyed firearms slaughter his own Eight Banners soldiers one by one, and his teeth were about to be crushed!

The 20,000 Eight Banner soldiers behind him also had red eyes, eager to fly across the river to bite these insidious Ming people to death.

Two hours later, except for a small number of Eight Banners who could swim, they lost their armor and swam to the north shore, and all the rest were killed.

The general of the 3,000 cavalry came to the river and looked at Huang Taiji and the others on the other bank.

Huang Taiji recognized the other party at a glance!

Full of Gui!
