Chapter 175

Huang Taiji was inexplicably sad and angry, two Baylors died at the hands of the enemy, Dajin has been crisscrossing Liaodong for decades, how could he have fought such a tragic battle?

The answer is no.

However, he ascended to the throne of Khan but fought such a defeat, this is no longer as simple as defeating the battle, it is simply a defeat, it is simply a defeat!

The most unacceptable thing is that the Ming army did not play any tricks, did not use any conspiracy, and did not even refuse to defend the city, but for the first time met to fight in array on the Great Plains, relying on their courage and desire for victory, and defeated Dajin hard.

Such a defeat is even more unacceptable than the most despicable conspiracy, because it means that the Ming army has defeated the Jurchen warriors for the first time in terms of force and courage, and Dajin has used countless bloody battles and countless victories to forge the prestige of "the Jurchen is invincible" has been completely shattered so far!

What are the consequences after the prestige of "Jurchen is invincible" is shattered?

Mongolia centrifugation, North Korea centrifugation, Sauron centrifugation, even those coated minions have a strange mind, this is the consequence of the deterrence credit is crushed!

The evil results have been revealed, on the way they retreated to Liao Zhongwei, there were constantly Mongolian soldiers and Korean soldiers who fled and surrendered to the Ming army, the scale was not large at the beginning, as time went by, there were more and more deserters, and later, 15,000 Mongolian troops who survived the bloody battle had fled, and even the Korean, Han clothed minions who were originally obedient like dogs, also fled, they killed many people and could not contain the wave, and now the troops under their command, It can no longer be called a combat-ready army!

The consequences of losing the failure of deterrence are so terrible!

"Cheng Shijie !!"

Huang Taiji suppressed his anger because he was afraid that this scene would be seen by others and see his impotent rage.

"Don't run away, I'm going to fight with Minggou!"

Hauge was so tired that he stuck out his tongue.

Huang Taiji looked at the exhausted soldiers around him, took a deep breath, and the words he brewed were ready to use a way to boost morale, to fight more and less, even if he achieved a small victory, it was enough to boost morale.

However, the problem is that at a distance from the Liaozhong Acropolis, Huang Taiji is preparing to concentrate his elite troops, that is, the elite of the Zhenghuang Banner, who have not participated in the battle, to kill the vanguard of the Ming army.

Just as Huang Taiji was about to give the order, Dolgon chased after him: "King Khan! ”

"Fourteenth brother, how is it?"

"Ming, Ming...... Minggou reinforcements are coming up again! ”

Huang Taiji said puzzledly: "Where did they get the reinforcements?" ”

"Looking at its banner, it is the words "Zu" and "Wu", it should be Guan Ningjun! ”

Huang Taiji gritted his teeth and said: "Zu Dashou!" Wu Xiang! ”

"That's right, it should be the two of them!"

"How many of them came?"

"How can there be seven or eight thousand people!"

Dolgon's eyes were bloodshot: "King Khan, what now?" ”

What to do?

Huang Taiji didn't know what to do. Along the way, a large number of soldiers fled from the Dajin army, and there were more than 10,000 people who fled and died of disease and starvation, and now there are only about 40,000 people who can still follow them. That is to say, the 100,000-strong army went out on the expedition and lost two-thirds of it.

These 40,000 people have been sleepy and lacking horses, fought a big defeat, there are morale like rainbow enemy troops chasing after them, their morale is already very low, now people are sleepy and horses are lacking, and there is no food and grass, the Ming army will arrive soon, and the ghost knows what to do!

Hauge roared behind him, "Despicable! Shameless! If you have the ability, come up and fight us to the death! You shameless dogs! ”

"Shut up, let's save some energy and prepare for the fight, that mad dog is right behind us, do you think he will let go of such a good opportunity?"

Hauge roared, "What else is there to think? Fight to the death! ”

Huang Taiji gritted his teeth and said: "Kill the sick and weak war horse, the whole army will have a full meal, and fight to the death with the Ming army!" ”

A group of Zijia Lae Zhen and Niu Lu Ezhen looked sad, they all knew that the last moment had come, and the food in the army was not enough to support more than 40,000 hungry soldiers to return to Shenyang, if no miracle happened, here, I am afraid that it will be their burial place!

The Jianzhou Jurchen soldiers gritted their teeth and responded with their fists: "Chirp!" ”

The Jiannu army stopped under the Liaozhong Acropolis, relying on the terrain to establish a defensive line, six or seven hundred sick and weak war horses were led over, and a knife fell, and the war horses screamed one after another, resounding through the sky, making countless Jiannu soldiers miserable.

They have been fighting for so many years, how have they ever tried to be forced by the enemy to kill the war horse! This time, Cheng Shijie can be regarded as setting a record, no matter whether this battle is won or lost, those who live will never forget this shame!

However, just as Jiannu was preparing for battle with all his might, the originally exhausted Ming cavalry and the Mongolian cavalry who had just surrendered to the Ming army hurriedly turned around and ran towards the rear, and soon disappeared.

Huang Taiji simply cried with joy: "God bless Dajin!" ”

Less than sixty miles away from the Liaozhong Acropolis, the Ming army had stopped pursuing, and they arranged a huge hedgehog formation, on the one hand, to prevent the Jiannu raid, but also to prevent the Guanning army from acting as the internal response of the Jiannu.

This can't blame Cheng Shijie for being too cautious, in the battle of Daling River, if you want to say that Wu Xiang didn't play a conspiracy, a fool won't believe it, in fact, seeing Wu Sangui leading more than 5,000 horsemen to the Wu clan's Guanning army, Zu Dabi and Zu Dale's reaction was even more fierce than Cheng Shijie's, they didn't care about pursuing Jiannu, but set up a position, ready to charge at Wu's Guanning army at any time.

Zhang Yu said puzzledly: "Why are they here?" ”

Shen Mingyu said angrily: "Grab the merit!" ”

"Grab credit?"

Zhang Yu's face was full of disdain: "Just them? ”

Zhang Yu hurriedly said to Cheng Shijie: "Commander, the last general is invited to fight!" ”

"Wait!"

Cheng Shijie waved his hand and said, "Let's see what they want to do!" ”

It didn't take long for Wu Sangui to lead dozens of soldiers from the Wu family to Cheng Shijie.

"The last general will meet Cheng Shuai!"

Cheng Shijie looked at Wu Sangui and said, "Which one is this trouble?" ”

Wu Sangui was very unhappy with Cheng Shijie's disdainful attitude, but thinking of Wu Xiang's repeated explanations, he had to lower his attitude: "Cheng Shuai, we are only now suspected of stealing merit, but please believe that the five thousand iron horsemen we brought have all fought with Jiannu with real swords and guns on the banks of the Daling River, and we really want to fight with Jiannu again!" ”

As he spoke, Wu Sangui slowly unloaded his armor.

As Wu Sangui took off his armor and exposed his upper body, his chest was indeed scarred, crisscrossing three or four scars, and then, more than 5,000 cavalry of the Wu clan's Guanning Army also exposed their upper bodies.

Most of these Wu family soldiers have scars on their chests, but their backs are smooth and without scars.

Cheng Shijie was commanded by Wu Sangui.

Cheng Shijie had no choice but to step forward and say, "General Xiao Wu, what are you doing, quickly put on your clothes, don't catch a cold!" ”

The more than 5,000 cavalry of the pro-army in the cold wind did not move.

Cheng Shijie stepped forward to help Wu Sangui.

Wu Sangui said: "Please Cheng Shuai!" ”

"To be honest, seeing your flags, I really want you to fight and go back, but ...... Never mind! ”

Cheng Shijie does know that Wu Sangui is a hardcore traitor, but the problem is that it is only Wu Sangui in history, after all, it has not happened yet, and now Wu Sangui has not defected to the enemy as a traitor.

Secondly, at this juncture, it is not easy to clash with the Guan Ning Army, the more conflicts occur, the cheaper it is to build slaves, Cheng Shijie originally wanted to pretend and secretly release water, but now it is time to shake the pot.

If Guan Ningjun carried out the fact of releasing water under the banner of pursuing Jiannu, it would be very embarrassing, and Cheng Shijie would have an upright reason to deal with Wu Sangui.

Thinking of this, Cheng Shijie said: "Nian'er and others are all iron-clad heroes, this time this time even if you turn a blind eye to the past, this marshal will give you a chance to fight, and share your share of the merits, but if you save your strength next time, don't blame Ben Shuai for not giving you face, this is a national war, everyone must do their best!" ”

Wu Sangui said: "Cheng Shuai rest assured, as long as Cheng Shuai speaks next time, the Guanning Iron Cavalry will definitely come to meet at dawn and evening, and come to meet quickly.

Cheng Shuai, in fact, my father still wanted to send troops this time, but a few birdmen were always talking crookedly in front of him about what to preserve strength and other crooked reasoning, which made him undecided, so that he missed the great fighter. Next time those birdmen dare to be verbose, I'll cut them one by one! ”

"Don't talk nonsense, keep up! Jiannu is in front, they are tired and hungry, they can't run anymore, there is revenge, there is revenge, the time has come, how did they bully you before, you even beat back with profit! ”

Cheng Shijie looked at the writing paper in his palm, this is a gift list, which reads: "600,000 taels of silver, 2,000 ploughing cattle!" ”

Of course, Guan Ningjun has money, seven million taels of Liao salary every year, and after seven deductions and eight deductions, they get three or four million taels of silver in their hands, which is more than the total annual financial income of the Ming Dynasty, and each of these cavalrymen has dozens or even hundreds of acres of land in their names, they have no money, who has money?

Although he was a little angry in his heart, he could see that the five thousand well-equipped and murderous Guanning iron cavalry were following in a mighty manner, and the morale of the Ming army was still greatly boosted.

Although the Guan Ning army is here to pick peaches, it is not a bad thing to have such an elite friendly army.

Liaozhong Acropolis, although this is a small broken city, and then the broken city, can also give people a lack of horses to replenish a certain amount of supplies, these sleepy and tired Jiannu soldiers finally drank a sip of hot water and ate some horse meat.

But just as they were about to rest, there was a whining horn outside the city, and then the Jiannu soldiers guarding the Acropolis of Liaozhong saw a black line appear on the horizon, and as time went on, this black line became thicker and thicker.

As soon as they saw the black battle flag of the Ning Navy, these Jiannu soldiers' faces changed greatly, and they exclaimed in shock: "It's them!" It's those demons who are catching up, run! ”

Huang Taiji used the horse meat of the war horse to muster up a little morale that fell to freezing point in an instant, and these Jiannu soldiers threw away their weapons one after another and ran away, even some Jiannu nobles who were ready to fight desperately, Niu Lu Ezhen and Jia Lae Zhen, were no exception.

There is no way, the terrifying scene of Ning Navy's artillery and thunderbolt devouring a large number of Dajin warriors like hellish demons has already frightened Jiannu, and when he saw the black tiger flag, his calves and stomach twitched, and he trembled, where could he still afford the slightest courage to fight with them!

Hauge roared: "Don't escape! Where else can we run? Running away will only lead to faster death, and you are not allowed to escape! ”

Hauge roared hoarsely, but it was useless.

The cavalry of the Ning Navy has four or five thousand horses, plus the Guanning Army Zu Dabi, Zu Dale and the new Zu Kefa Division, the Guanning Army also has more than 5,000 horses, plus the five thousand cavalry under Wu Sangui, and the more than 8,000 cavalry surrendered by Mongolia, and the cavalry under Cheng Shijie can be used at this time as many as 24,500 people.

The roar of 24,500 men and horses shook the clouds in the sky, and in the tsunami, the cavalry of the Ming army surrounded three sides of the acropolis in Liaozhong, and then the infantry of the Ning Navy pressed up.

At first, Huang Taiji thought that the cavalry of the Ming army could not attack the city, they had an advantage, and the cavalry was not good at attacking the city, which was a well-known secret, but the problem was that Cheng Shijie was now chasing with foot cavalry.

Cheng Shijie took the walkie-talkie and said: "Yuan Shiliang, arrange the artillery position, tell Jiannu, Ben Shuai is here, they should come out to pee, save a moment of being scared to pee." ”

"Yes!"

Twenty-four three-inch guns, one hundred and sixty-eight Franc machine guns, a total of one hundred and ninety-two guns, arranged into a huge artillery position.

"Fire!"

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Thunderous fireballs swirled out from the cannon mouth of the black hole, and slammed into the Liaozhong Acropolis with the roar of death. The Franc machine, which was not equipped with flowering shells, also roared wildly, and the shells flew out of the barrels, waving their teeth and claws in front of them, twisting their bodies, and hundreds or even thousands of ballistics were like frightened locusts, pulling long firelight .......

In the blink of an eye, the Liaozhong Acropolis turned into a sea of fire in a loud explosion that was so dense that there was no gap, and the defenders in the city, the grain, grass and ordnance in the city, as well as the hopes of Azig, Dolgon and others in the city, were all blown into powder by the artillery of the Ning Navy!

Huang Taiji was dumbfounded, what kind of guard is this?

Without Huang Taiji's order, the Jiannu army retreated from the east gate of the Liaozhong Acropolis, which was not defended by any troops, and the retreating Jiannu was afraid that they would be extremely desperate.

At the east gate of the Liaozhong Acropolis, the Jiannu army was in a mess, and there were countless casualties under the trampling of each other.

It was the first time Zu Kefa saw Ning Haijun fighting Jiannu, and so did Wu Sangui, they were all dumbfounded, and their tongues stuck out from the elder: "This...... That's it? ”

"More than 100 shells, 30,000 or 40,000 Jiannu troops will all collapse?"

Now they just want to slap themselves twice, they knew what kind of strength they would fight like this, Ning Haijun rushed up and crushed Jiannu in one fell swoop, and then the army followed and cut off the head.

As Jiannu began to retreat from the Liaozhong Acropolis, the cavalry of the Ning Navy and the cavalry of the Guanning Army began to charge and pursue Jiannu.

"Zhao Wencai, Hu Erqi"

"The last general!"

"Don't care about these little shrimps, capture the thief and capture the king first, and pull off Huang Taiji's head to Ben Shuai!"

"Understood!"

Zhao Wencai and Hu Erqi each commanded 5,000 iron cavalry to divide into two roads and directly take the royal banner of Huang Taiji.

Now the fastest promotion of the Ning Navy should be regarded as Hu Erqi, Hu Erqi was originally just a garrison of the hunting cavalry, but now he has been promoted to the capital division, and more than 8,000 Mongolian cavalry who surrendered are all under the command of Hu Erqi.

Hu Erqi led the Mongolian cavalry and hunting cavalry and Zhao Wencai's troops to attack Jiannu from left to right, and Zu Dabi, Zu Dale, and Zu Kefa rushed up.

Seeing the more than 20,000 cavalry of the Ming army charging, the Jiannu cavalry was so frightened that they didn't dare to accept the call at all, but only led their subordinates to flee frantically, and even slashed and killed the Jiannu soldiers who blocked their way.

The cavalry of the Ming army chased after them, and overturned the Jiannu cavalry in a group, and the cry of the Jiannu cavalry resounded in the sky!

In the Ming army, Wu Sangui and Zu Kefa did not participate in the battle, the war horse was full of physical strength, and the last strike came first, and actually crossed Zu Dabi, Zu Dale, Zhao Wencai and Hu Erqi's cavalry, and ran to the front.

Zu Kefa stared at Yue Tuo's department, and was about to release arrows, when suddenly, the sound of hooves was loud, and a large group of cavalry rushed over obliquely, surpassing Zu Kefa, and between the ancestral cavalry and Jiannu, and flew towards the Jiannu army like sharp arrows.

Zu Kefa saw a banner on the flag, a big "Wu" character was particularly conspicuous, under the banner, a young general left and right bows, arrows like beads, the Jiannu army should not fall, not Wu Sangui who else can be?

Zu Kefa was furious: "General Wu, what do you mean!?" ”

Wu Sangui turned around and smiled at Zu Kefa rudely: "General Zu, your ancestral army has made a lot of achievements, don't be too greedy, Yue Tuo's head, I want it!" If you know each other, get out of the way, don't fight with me! ”

Guan Ningjun's ability to grab credit is as strong as the ability of the pit friendly army, and his reputation is far and wide, as long as he is mixed in the army, he will not know this.

Zu Kefa said indignantly: "Wu Sangui, don't be embarrassed!" Yue Tuo's head, I want it, let's each speak according to our abilities, let's see who can grab it! ”

Wu Sangui's tone was gloomy: "Then you don't plan to get out of the way?" ”

Zu Kefa said: "We are not the Sichuan army and the Zhejiang army that you pinch casually!" ”

After glancing at each other fiercely, they closed their mouths, kicked the horse's belly violently, and let the war horse accelerate and chase after it, saying that they couldn't let the other party rob this great achievement!

The cavalry of the ancestral army of the Guanning army and the cavalry of the Wu army are like bumper cars, you hit me, I hit you, the cavalry of the ancestral army tried every means to get rid of the entanglement of this gang of-stirring sticks, and the cavalry of the Wu army did not let them live or die, and tried every means to create obstacles for them.

Zu Kefa was furious, but there was nothing he could do.

Under the entanglement under Wu Sangui's command, the cavalry on both sides lost their blade-like sharpness, and their speed inevitably slowed down, and both sides were scolding, so they almost didn't make a move.

Yue Tuo thought that he was taking on the task of the queen of the palace, and he was nine deaths. Unexpectedly, the Ming army did it with his own people, he was overjoyed when he saw this, and took the opportunity to kick the horse's belly with a spur, piercing the horse's belly with blood, and the war horse in severe pain suddenly went crazy, and he was racing wildly, and he actually threw the chasing soldiers who were biting behind hundreds of steps away.

Wu Sangui and Zu Kefa secretly screamed when they saw this, although they wanted to fight for merit, they didn't think about letting go of this Yue Tuo, and they couldn't care about continuing to intrigue, so they each led their cavalry to chase after them.

Unfortunately, it was too late, Yue Tuo laughed loudly: "Want to catch me? Let's go in the next life! ”

The boiled duck flew like this, Zu Kefa was so angry that he was smoking, glared at Wu Sangui, gritted his teeth and said, "General Wu, should you give us an explanation?" ”

Wu Sangui's face was also pale: "If it weren't for your endless entanglement, we would have captured Yue Tuo a long time ago!" You just wait to be court-martialed! ”

Zu Kefa said indignantly: "It's you who are entangled! We've obviously caught up with Yue Tuo, so you have to rush out and stick a stick! ”

Wu Sangui sneered: "So what? What I can't get, no one can think of! ”

"You ......"

Zu Kefa is only Zu Dashou's adopted son, and he does not have a high status with Wu Sangui, a nephew, so in desperation, he had to report the matter to Zu Dabi.

As soon as Zu Dabi heard this, he immediately became furious.

It's just that he didn't think that he hadn't had time to settle accounts with Wu Sangui, Wu Sangui had already found Cheng Shijie, Wu Sangui hugged Cheng Shijie's thigh and said: "Cheng Shuai, you must be the master of Sangui!" ”
