Chapter 459 Battle of Guangqumen

Bang!

Firearms rang out in the city.

Man Gui, who was originally hit by two arrows in his body, was shot in the back again.

Under the protection of Jiadingdi, he hurriedly retreated to the urn city of Deshengmen.

The Datong army and the Mangui family who did not have time to retreat could not defeat the Houjin army head-on, and they were also put cold guns from behind by their own people, causing the entire army to be annihilated.

The urn city is a semicircular and square gate city built outside the city gate or inside the city gate.

The two sides of the urn city are connected with the city wall to be established, and there are defensive facilities such as arrow towers, gate gates, and pheasant moats.

After Man Gui was wounded, he fled into the urn city, and he didn't even have the treatment to go into the city to rest, so he could only hide in the Guandi Temple in the urn city, and smeared the gold sore medicine while pulling out the arrow.

"Someone must be trying to harm me."

Man Gui endured and screamed in pain.

"Jingying was allocated to Li Shilang by His Majesty, could it be that he ......?"

Some people guessed while applying medicine to Man Gui.

"Don't guess!"

Man Gui suddenly realized something and hurriedly told the family to shut up.

If you keep talking, you're going to get into trouble.

Man Gui, who has been in the army for a long time, knows very clearly that soldiers will only listen to the person who is worthy of their life.

Although Li Banghua's official position is high, he is an outsider, and the soldiers of the Beijing camp do not like him.

Xungui is the real master of the Beijing camp, and the only way out for these poor soldiers is to call Xungui and eunuchs as domestic slaves in order to have a full stomach.

Man Gui couldn't figure out where he had offended Xungui!

At this time, in the southeast of the Beijing Division, Yuan Chonghuan had already led his army to reach the Guangqu Gate.

Hearing the report from the sentry horseman, it was said that Mang Gurtai had led an army to intercept it.

Yuan Chonghuan asked Du Si Dai Chengen to set up a formation outside the Guangqu Gate to arch the acropolis gate, He Kegang led the Chinese army in the south as the first formation, and himself, Zhu Mei and Zuo Fu led the troops to line up due west.

Wang Chengyin led the army to line up in the northwest.

This Wang Chengyin is the chief soldier of Xuanfu who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty with Jiang Xiang in history.

In this way, a pocket array was arranged, leaving only one opening in the east, and the Jin army would come to the door by himself later.

The front foot set up the formation, and the rear Jin army arrived on the back foot.

Knowing the situation ahead from the sentinel, Mang Gurtai immediately realized that this was a pocket formation, and he could not drill into it.

So, he took the initiative to provoke with several horses, and by the way, he looked at the formation.

The Ming army remained immovable.

After Mang Gurtai came back, he said: "He Kegang who led the most troops in the southeast direction, this person fought bravely, but there were too few soldiers under his command.

You will follow me directly to He Kegang, as long as He Kegang is defeated, this battle will be a great victory for our army. ”

"What about the wings?" Abatai asked.

"Regardless of the two wings, just charge at He Kegang! Defeat him, and the wings will be useless for pincers. ”

Mang Gurtai gave an order, and the Houjin army roared and charged towards He Kegang.

Bang...... Bang......

A salvo of small cannons was followed by a volley of firearms.

In the end, the Ming cavalry and infantry went up.

Later, the Jin army was crushed elsewhere, and it was useless here.

The charging Azig also carelessly underestimated the enemy, thinking that the Houjin army was not strong, so he rushed to kill first.

He wanted to be an example, but his horse was killed by the Ming gunners.

Azig fell off his horse, and the Ming army tried to rush up and hack him to death.

At this time, the Bayala Protectors, wearing several layers of armor, stepped forward in time to rescue and escort Azig to retreat.

It was known that the armor of the Bayala Protectors was too thick, and if they wanted to kill them with a bird or a bow and arrow, they had to limit their movement and then concentrate their fire.

Therefore, Azig safely withdrew from the most dangerous battlefield.

He changed his horse and said to the Bayala Protector beside him: "The Ming army has a strong frontal defense, and we can't break up." Or go to the flanks, pinch the soft persimmons first, and then hit He Kegang's flanks. ”

A group of soldiers, led by Azig, rushed towards the Ming army of Wang Chengyin's department, which Yuan Chonghuan had "pocketed".

Their change immediately caught the attention of Abatai and Dolgon.

Both of them were on the way to charge at this time, and when they saw a change in the direction of Azig's attack, they also hurriedly led their troops to follow.

Wang Chengyin's Ming army was inferior to He Kegang, and could not stop the attack of the Houjin army, so he had to keep retreating south.

After receiving the report from Tang Cai, Yuan Chonghuan hurriedly led the army to meet Wang Chengyin.

As a result, the situation on the battlefield has changed.

Wang Chengyin's troops, who originally "collected their pockets", became the main defensive direction, and Yuan Chonghuan, Zhu Mei and Zuo Fu led troops to support him.

Abatai, Azig, and Dolgon, who were charging in front, were also changed to attack Wang Chengyin's troops.

As a result, the Houjin Army is still charging frontally, only Huang Taiji's own son - Haoge!

You must know that He Kegang has the most Ming troops, and only Haoge is the one who charges frontally, and the one who fights more and less in disguise has become.

"Surround me, kill this little cub, and severely frustrate the arrogance of the Tartars."

He Kegang was not ambiguous, and immediately issued a flag and asked all the Ming troops under his command to besiege Haoge.

Outside the Guangqu Gate, a vicious battle was temporarily fought and intractable.

The sound of shouting and killing, the clashing of weapons, the sound of horses' hooves, and the sound of firearms rang out in one place.

The soldiers of the Beijing camp watching from the city tower were stunned.

Soon, Huang Taiji defeated Man Gui and immediately led his army to Guangqumen.

Before he arrived, he heard the herald come back and report: "Qi Great Khan, Azig and others did not listen to the orders of Sanbeile and changed the target of the attack without authorization, and now only Hauge is still attacking the main force of the Ming army from the front." ”

"What?"

Huang Taiji scolded in his heart, how did I give birth to such a stupid son!

Just as he was about to lead the troops, he saw the herald Pegasus arrive.

"Enlightened Khan, Sonny and his men have rescued Hauge and are retreating." With the herald finished, Pegasus left.

"Guan Ningjun is so tenacious!"

Huang Taiji suddenly felt a little painful, and he only brought a few thousand banners this time, plus the Mongols.

The main purpose is to plunder, not to fight a war of attrition.

If the loss is too great this time, will the Mongols be discouraged from entering the pass and plundering with him?

If you take 10,000 steps back, even if you destroy the Guan Ning army, your own losses will definitely not be small.

There is an even more difficult Golden State Army behind!

"Forget it, order Mang Gurtai to withdraw his troops quickly."

Huang Taiji gave an order to the herald and asked him to quickly tell Mang Gurtai to withdraw his troops.

At this time, the Guanning Army led by Yuan Chonghuan was attacked by the most ferocious attack of the Houjin Army.

Flying arrows rained down, Yuan Chonghuan almost became a hedgehog, but thanks to the thick armor, he was not killed by the Houjin army.

The war horse was not so lucky, and had already fallen to the ground.

"Protect the Overseer!"

Zhu Mei shouted, and rushed up with the soldiers around her, blocking in front of Yuan Chonghuan.

Yuan Chonghuan didn't have time to pull out the arrow on his armor and changed to a war horse.

"Hold on, as long as it gets dark."

Yuan Chonghuan held a war knife and encouraged the soldiers around him.

The soldiers plucked up their courage and charged forward under the leadership of their respective commanders......

This fierce battle ended with Huang Taiji's retreat order.

Chongzhen, who stayed in the deep palace, first got the news that Man Gui was wiped out under the Desheng Gate, and he was so frightened that his soul was scattered. I also heard that Yuan Chonghuan blocked Huang Taiji outside the Guangqu Gate, so he was a little more stable.
