Chapter 323: The End of the Road
The bad news is still coming, and it really responds to the sentence "Blessings are not double, and disasters are not one-way".
And there is a saying: when you memorize words, you will stuff your teeth when you drink cold water. is also quite appropriate, which is the portrayal of Jiannu today.
In history, the Ming Dynasty died in the Qing Dynasty, and it was attributed to the exhaustion of the Ming Dynasty, in fact, there is some truth. In several key battles, luck was paradoxically biased in favor of Jianyu, which is very puzzling.
Now, under the leadership of the wise and martial Emperor of the Apocalypse, he has finally taken back the luck of the Ming Dynasty. In turn, Jiannu was overwhelmed.
Baku, the son of Yehebu Belebour, led the Yehe people to rebel, captured the five Beyler Mang Gurtai, and joined forces with the inside and outside to help the Ming army break through the Shangjian Cliff.
The news is not complete, and Dai Shan and the others don't know that the biggest role in this is the inconspicuous cold monk machine.
He was the one who deceived Gurtai, he was the one who contacted Mangui's subordinates, he was the one who persuaded Baku and other Yehe tribesmen, and he was also the one who helped the Ming army break through Jilin Cliff.
This guy who was promoted to the rank of lord by betraying his master Mang Guji in history is still difficult to change in nature, and he seized the opportunity again.
The loss of Shangma Cliff made it more difficult for the Boundary Domain City to resist it. Not only was the enemy on the back of the enemy, but once the Ming army continued to penetrate, the Jianyu was in danger of being cut off from retreat and the entire army was annihilated.
Dai Shan hurriedly mobilized the men and horses of the Zhenghuang Banner to resist the Ming army on the North Road, ensure the safety of the retreat, and strictly urged the army and civilians to speed up the retreat.
At this point, Jiannu's orderly retreat was completely disrupted, and he fell into a tragic situation of fleeing in panic.
The fierce battle was carried out in three battlefields, one was Shangjian Cliff, the other was Jilin Cliff, the boundary city of Jilin, and the other was to stop and delay the pursuit of the Ming cavalry.
Boom, boom, boom......
The continuous explosions were deafening, reverberating through the mountains for a long time.
After the second shelling of Dongjiang Town, the infantry, under the cover of the shield bearers, shouted and rushed up again.
"Shoot the arrows!" The Emperor Taiji sword swung forward, howling and commanding.
The arrows are densely packed and swept through the air, taking advantage of the mountain, condescending to occupy the advantage of range.
From time to time, Ming troops fell, but more Ming troops still approached their positions and came within range of muskets.
The wooden shield stood like a wall, and the Ming musketeers used it as cover and support to fire at the enemy. Gunshots rang out, white smoke rose, and the two sides entered a face-to-face firepower exchange again.
From time to time, shells flew and smashed on the Jiannu position, and a moment later the fire burst out, and shrapnel from the rubble flew sideways.
Although Jiannu was on the defensive, the Ming army relied on the advantage of firearms and did not suffer greater casualties than Jiannu in the attack.
Huang Taiji was sad in his heart, this defensive battle was completely a battle of manpower, and every time one more Jurchen warrior was killed or wounded, there would be one less chance of reviving his rise in the future.
But the people have to defend after they run out, and the army and civilians have not completely passed through this place, and the Jurchen warriors are fighting for the hope of survival for the people with their lives.
Jurchen warriors?! Huang Taiji's pupils contracted, and the banner of the commander of the Jianzhou Guard in the distance stung his eyes.
The burst of lead bullets and flying arrows attacked not only the Ming army, but also the Jurchens.
That Nala Zhongming, taking advantage of the turmoil in Houjin, used the name given by the Ming Court and his identity as a Yehebu, and won over a lot of Zhenyi.
Especially after the defeat of Haicheng and the loss of Liaoyang, not only Yehe's, but also Hada, Huifa, and Wula. It was already extinct and should have been annihilated in history, and it revived, like a hungry wolf, and attacked the Jianzhou Jurchens.
It is naturally better to capture and kill the high-ranking officials of Houjin, cut off the heads of the Jianzhou Jurchens, and also invite the Ming army to fight for a place to survive in Liaodong.
Huang Taiji knew in his heart that not only the descendants of these Jurchen tribes, but also many Jianzhou Jurchens also changed their names and surnames, pretending to be other Jurchen tribes, and threw themselves into the Ming army.
When disaster comes, they fly separately, and the bandit group that once worked together falls apart, fully showing the true humanity.
Rumble! The explosion was close at hand, and although he was guarded by his own soldiers, Huang Taiji's ears were buzzing and his head was dizzy.
Boom, boom! The explosion sounded continuously, provoking several screams and wails.
After a while, Huang Taiji stood up, pushed away the personal guard, and saw the fallen Ataigao.
The warrior, who had fought with him for many years, fell miserably to the ground, shrapnel embedded in his forehead, blood gushing out.
The artillery fire of the Ming army was fierce, if it were not so, how could it suppress the Dajin army.
Huang Taiji frowned, looked away, and continued to command the battle.
If he had experienced the Battle of Haicheng and seen the real artillery salvo, he should be glad that he was being bombarded now.
In terms of the number of artillery pieces, Dongjiang Town is only one-third of the main force in southern Liaoning, and each mixed association has only six field guns, 12 Franc machines, and 20 Ming heavy guns. This time it is considered a whole army dispatch, and there are about 100 gates in total.
But even so, it is something that Huang Taiji and other Jianyu have not seen.
Under the wall, the Ming army stayed within the range of the musket and fired at the Jianyu. Lead bullets rained down, hitting the wall with debris.
The field artillery and Furlong planes also pushed up, and the firepower suddenly increased, so that the Jianyu could not raise his head.
"Why isn't it over yet? The loss is too great, and this side will not be able to withstand it. Huang Taiji howled angrily, and sent soldiers to urge.
The Ming army no longer retreated to the whole team, but withdrew the wounded and replaced them with soldiers. This means that the attack continues, without giving the enemy a chance to breathe.
The solid shells of the field artillery continued to smash on the walled wall and the walled gate, although the walled gate had been blocked, but how long the walled wall could last, Huang Taiji did not have much confidence.
Moreover, the rear team of the Ming army was moving forward to carry the ladder and prepare for a fierce attack. According to the strength of the troops in the village, as well as the enemy's firepower, Huang Taiji knew that he would not be able to hold on for long.
Outside the Realm Domain, Mao Wenlong personally commanded the attack. After two days of consumption, he could already see that Jianyu would not last long.
"General Cao." Putting down the binoculars, Mao Wenlong smiled at Cao Wenzhao, who came on horseback, and asked casually: "Are the grain and grass ready?" ”
Cao Wenzhao arched his hand and said, "It's enough for seven days." ”
Seven days! That is, it can be chased for three days, and it is enough for the return journey.
Mao Wenlong smiled slightly and said, "Three days of pursuit, two hundred miles should be available." The military and civilian brigade of Jiannu was slow to move and was bound to suffer heavy losses. ”
Cao Wenzhao was full of confidence, nodded and smiled, and said: "Even if you can't destroy Jiannu, you have to kill him personally." ”
After a pause, he added: "General Zhou's cavalry, General Man's cavalry, plus our department, are no longer something that Jiannu can resist. ”
In terms of flying cavalry alone, the three groups of southern Liaoning, eastern Liaoning, and northern Liaobei have reached 13,400,000, plus the spear cavalry drawn from various departments, nearly 30,000 iron cavalry, which is enough to chase Jiannu to the point of embarrassment.
