Chapter 181: Recovering Liaoyang Emperor Taiji admits defeat
Chapter 181
If a person is unlucky, his fart will hit his heels.
Wu Sangui has a deep understanding of this.
When the civil officials found him, he knew that it was not good, but the problem was that there was no way, those people were holding Wu Xiang's incriminating evidence, as long as they did not do what they asked, the Wu family would be gone.
Not only will Wu Xiang become a traitor, but even his uncle Zu Dashou will not let go of their Wu family, but the problem is that he really doesn't dare to offend Cheng Shijie, because Wu Sangui has seen the real horror of Ning Haijun.
Before Cheng Shijie established the Ning Navy, Jiannu was the strongest army in the world, there is no doubt about it, but the Ning Navy killed Jiannu, it was like chopping melons and vegetables, especially the artillery under Cheng Shijie's command, one cannon bombarded one piece, and killed more than a dozen people with one cannon.
What's even more terrifying is that the artillery of the Ning Navy fires quickly, and it does not use open flames to ignite the fuse, which makes people uncomfortable, who has ever seen the artillery shoot faster than the firebolt?
Guns are faster than bows and arrows?
But Cheng Shijie did it, and Cheng Shijie will be the brother-in-law of Emperor Chongzhen, as the imperial prince, if he offends Cheng Shijie, then the rise of the Wu family will come to an abrupt end.
But the problem is that the consequences of not listening to civil officials are equally serious, the difference is that if you offend Cheng Shijie, you will die immediately, and if you offend civil officials, you will die in the future, there is only the difference between early death or late death.
He bewitched Zu Dabi and launched an attack on Jiannu, he has actually been thinking about how to meet the requirements of civil officials, let Huang Taiji have a way out, and can not offend Cheng Shijie.
However, before Wu Sangui could think of what to do, there was a loud bang from his helmet, and the blow was hard enough, like a heavy punch that made his whole person fall back, Venus and Silver Stars bloomed a thousand times, and his nostrils were bleeding.
Wu Sangui struggled to raise his hand and touch the helmet, and what he touched was a smooth arrow shaft, which was unusually thick, obviously an armor-piercing heavy arrow. The armor-piercing arrow hit him in the head, hitting his scalp, and only a little bit narrowly missed a large hole in his head.
Although it didn't hit him in the head, the plan was not comfortable.
After all, the force of the armor-piercing arrow was too great, and the last ray of light in front of Wu Sangui's eyes was swallowed up by the darkness, his body was crooked, and he fell off the horse's back, and there was a terrifying roar in his ears, as if it was squeezed out of his lungs, extremely violent, but to him it sounded like a mosquito was barking......
Eventually, all sounds were gone, and darkness and silence enveloped the battlefield......
The more than 5,000 cavalry of the Wu family army suddenly panicked.
Huang Taiji turned the Jurchens from a gang of robbers into a real empire, which can be described as eloquent, using soldiers like gods, I don't know how many famous generals were planted in his hands, although he suffered a loss in the hands of Cheng Shijie, but the problem is that Cheng Shijie relies on fighting not for military strategy, nor for the use of soldiers, but for the crushing of science and technology.
It does not mean that Cheng Shijie is stronger than Huang Taiji in the use of soldiers.
However, Huang Taiji is really strong, he keenly discovered the chaos on Wu Sangui's side, and it was also his last chance, Huang Taiji was a hero, when it was time to play tricks, he would play his brothers, nephews, and Jiannu up and down in the palm of his hand, when he should be desperate, Huang Taiji was not intimidated.
He gritted his teeth and stabbed his colt in the buttocks, then turned his horse's head, sabre and spear, and roared towards the Wu army.
The Wu army, before they had time to pull Wu Sangui up from the ground, saw Huang Taiji rushing over, at this time the cavalry of the Wu family army was completely chaotic, but no one escaped, and they did not retreat, because Wu Sangui's life and death were unknown, once Wu Sangui was gone, even if they ran back, they would not escape death.
Wu Xiang will definitely not let them go.
What's more, Wu Sangui was also built by Jiannu, and they could only work hard.
Jiannu wanted to break through from the front of the Wu army, and in order to recapture Wu Sangui, a tragic melee broke out between the two sides, with arrows raining down, spears stabbing each other, and flesh and blood flying.
After more than a quarter of an hour of fighting, the Jiannu army resounded with bursts of cheers: "Rush out, rush out!" ”
Huang Taiji's front was suddenly empty, and he realized that the Wu clan's Guan Ning army in front of him was gone.
Seeing that the cavalry of Wu's Guanning Army was scuttled through the army, the surviving cavalry of Wu's Guanning Army was retreating to both sides without life, and did not dare to block it again.
Although it was only fought for less than half an hour, Wu Jiajun also lost more than 2,000 lives, and the blood was almost dry, where could it still be supported?
Jiannu is like a flood that bursts the embankment, surging out from the breach, unstoppable!
Dai Shan, who was following Huang Taiji's left side, breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank God, I finally rushed out!" ”
Yue Tuo said with a bitter face: "This battle was fought too badly, it is estimated that many Niu Lu have been disabled." ”
Dai Shan smiled disapprenousively: "As long as you can bring these fifty or sixty thousand soldiers back to Shenyang, it's all worth it." It's not easy to die, find a way to enter the customs and grab a group of Han women back to distribute to the warriors, and in a few years, many warriors will be born! ”
Dai Shan said it very easily, but Huang Taiji couldn't laugh, after the Ming Dynasty had achieved such a brilliant victory and had such a powerful army, could the Ming Dynasty still tolerate Dajin using their Gyeonggi Heavy Land as a hunting ground as before, and give what he wanted?
The Ming Dynasty could train a terrible Ning navy, and it would not be a very simple thing to train one or two more Ning navys according to the gourd?
What's more, Daikin was hit hard by this, and the grass on the wall of North Korea would inevitably fall to the Ming Dynasty immediately, and with the Ming Dynasty's strong ships and cannons, the possibility of Daikin crossing the Yalu River again to conquer Korea was infinitely close to zero!
Mongolia, an ally that the Later Jin spent more than 30 years painstakingly trying to win over, is now also centrifuged, 8,000 Mongolian cavalry defected to the Ming army, if the Ming Dynasty again in the Mongolian direction to pull Mongolia over, Dajin will be completely isolated!
After all this, you still want to enter the customs and rob? Dream on. But these Huang Tai Chi can't be said, the most important thing now is morale, morale!
The breakthrough was finally opened, and Jiannu, who was fighting hard with the Ning Navy, the Dongjiang Army, and the Zujia Army, disengaged from these terrible enemies one after another and quickly retreated.
Zu Dabi launched several attacks to try to fill the torn hole, but they were all beaten back by Jiannu.
At this time, the will to survive of the Jiannu army has reached its peak, they are a group of tigers who have broken through the cage, and whoever dares to stand in front of them will definitely be torn to pieces by them!
Hauge ran over to Dolgon and Duoduo covered in blood and said, "Uncle Fourteen, Uncle Fifteen, it's almost over, let's withdraw too, otherwise Minggou will press up!" ”
"Withdraw."
Dolgon looked back at the approaching Ming army, his teeth gritting...... After this battle, at least three or four thousand soldiers fell on the battlefield, these are not Mongolian cannon fodder, nor are they clothed slaves, they are genuine Jurchen athletes!
With so many people dead, I don't know when I'll be able to recover.
Dolgon's heart was filled with anger and hatred.
Seeing Huang Taiji break through, Fan Jingwen breathed a sigh of relief.
But the problem is that he became a sinner of Da Ming and let go of Da Ming's rival with his own hands.
Different from the heaviness in Fan Jingwen's heart, the officials of Wen Tiren and his party are like a spring breeze, completing Wen Tiren's order, and when they return to the capital, they will definitely be promoted and make a fortune.
After paying nearly a thousand casualties, Zu Dabi finally sealed the gap, but it is a pity that there are few Jiannu left in the encirclement, only more than 1,000 Jiannu, they are scarred, wearing heavy armor, fighting for so long, their physical strength has been almost exhausted, where can they still run?
Fu Zonglong was so angry that he stomped his feet.
Sun Chengzong seemed to have predicted this outcome, and instead he persuaded Fu Zonglong not to be angry.
"Elder Sun Ge, how can the lower officials not be angry, they did it on purpose, right?"
Fu Zonglong angrily pointed to the Jiannu in the encirclement and said: "Originally, there was hope, all Jiannu was annihilated, but now it's okay, only this little person is left!" ”
Fu Zonglong actually didn't notice that his state of mind had changed dramatically, even if it included the Jiannu in the circle, there were more than 1,000 people, and these Jiannu palace troops were mainly Jiannu white-armored soldiers, Xibe people, and Sauron people, they were all Jiannu's hoplites, and they were also the elite of Jiannu's elite.
When Cheng Shijie didn't come, the Ming army was able to annihilate more than 1,000 people, which was also a major victory than Ning Yuan's victory, but on the contrary, such a victory even Fu Zonglong couldn't see it.
Sun Chengzong said: "The people's hearts are scattered, the team is not easy to lead, and there is no way to Beiping!" ”
"I want to impeach Wu Sangui, impeach the Wu family, Litong Jiannu, and collaborate with the enemy to betray the country!"
"No way!"
Cheng Shijie walked up to Fu Zonglong and said, "Master Fu, you can't do this yet!" ”
Fu Zonglong asked puzzledly, "Why?" ”
"If you impeach Wu Sangui, who will dare to fight Jiannu in the future?"
Cheng Shijie was also very depressed, no matter what, Wu Sangui was heavy with an arrow, Cheng Shijie had seen it in the past, his injury was a fact, this arrow almost killed Wu Sangui, if it weren't for Wu Sangui's good physical fitness, if he was replaced by an ordinary person, although this arrow did not hit the head, it could also rely on inertia to break his neck.
What's more, of the more than 5,000 cavalry of the Wu clan's Guanning Army, there were less than 2,000 cavalry left, and more than half of them were injured.
It is said that the army in the feudal era will collapse if one tenth of the casualties are lost, if this theory is true, the Wu family army has already played extraordinarily, if in the battle of the Great Linghe, the Wu army is also so desperate, the outcome of the battle of the Ling River will definitely be rewritten.
Fu Zonglong directly knew now that the casualties of the Wu family army were so heavy, if the casualties were more than half, and the breakthrough of the Jiannu was not blocked, then the Wu family army could not be blamed.
In the Battle of Baliwan, the performance of Zu Dabi's subordinates was not much better than that of Wu Sangui's subordinates, and Huanglong used his own life, but he only barely maintained.
Fu Zonglong sighed and said, "There are not many opportunities like this, it's a pity!" ”
"It's not a pity!"
Cheng Shijie smiled faintly: "Ben Shuai has long judged that the combat effectiveness of the Guanning Army and the Dongjiang Army is far weaker than that of Jiannu, and it is certain that they will not be able to stop Jiannu from breaking through, Ben Shuai has already prepared!" ”
Although Cheng Shijie did not let Fu Zonglong impeach Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui, no matter what he thought, he would not let him go easily.
Taking advantage of the Ming army cleaning up the battlefield, Cheng Shijie found Gao Qiqian: "Gao Gonggong!" ”
"General Cheng, what are your orders?"
"Father-in-law, your sentence is a bad sentence for Cheng!"
Cheng Shijie said: "Father-in-law Gao, do you want to make a fortune?" ”
"Whose house is it raiding?"
Gao Qiqian got the sweetness from copying his home, Cheng Shijie just proposed the word "fortune", and what he immediately thought of was copying his home.
Cheng Shijie said: "Wu Xiang! ”
"This, is Wu Xiang guilty?"
"Guilty or not, it's not up to you to decide?"
Cheng Shijie said: "If you say he is guilty, he is guilty, and if he is not guilty, he is not guilty, and if he is not guilty, he is not guilty!" ”
Gao Qiqian understood what Cheng Shijie meant, but hesitated: "Is Wu Xiang rich?" ”
"Father-in-law, this is just a joke!"
Cheng Shijie smiled faintly: "Since the forty-sixth year of Wanli began to levy Liao salary, twenty or thirty million taels of silver, how much do you think Wu Xiang has in his hands?" Even if half of it is gone, it will be ten or twenty million silver! ”
As soon as Gao Qiqian beckoned, several brocade guards and eunuchs ran over: "Let's total!" ”
Huang Taiji doesn't care about the more than 1,000 elites in the encirclement who have not broken through, and the most important thing at the moment is to run quickly while the Ming army has not yet reacted, how fast and how fast to run, how far to run, and keep these Jurchen athletes who have survived a hundred battles!
When the surrounding killing sound disappeared, the Jiannu soldiers were almost in tears, this battle was too hard, think about those partners who died in the encirclement of the Ming army, how can people not be sad from it?
They let out hoarse cheers, instigated the horses to flee desperately, behind them, crossbow arrows shot like sand, and people kept falling from their horses, but no one looked back, their own lives could not be cared for, who was in the mood to pay attention to those unlucky people?
Jiannu ran in front, the cavalry of the Ning Navy, the cavalry of the Guanning Army, and the cavalry of the Mongol surrender, and nearly 20,000 cavalry chased after Jiannu.
When the remnants of Jiannu tried their best to run to the city of Liaoyang in one go, the Jiannu soldiers looked behind them, and thankfully, the Ming army did not catch up.
The sun is about to set, which means that they are safe, and they can at least sleep soundly.
However, just when Huang Taiji wanted to call the city gate, suddenly, on Liaoyang City, those big golden flags fluttering in the wind suddenly fell.
"This ......"
Huang Taiji himself told himself that this was an accident, this was a flag blown off by the wind, a small accident......
If nothing else, there will be an accident.
More and more Jiannu flags were thrown down by the defenders on the city wall, and a black line appeared on the city wall, black clothes, black armor, and black flags......
"Oops!"
Huang Taiji now understands that Guan Ningjun's sudden opening of the gap is to let them see a way out of the way, and break out of the siege desperately.
This was Cheng Shijie's strategy, and Cheng Shijie had long known that the Guan Ning Army would do this, because he jogged over to this side early, preparing to launch a thunderous blow after they disengaged from the Guan Ning Army.
In the encirclement, there is still hope for Jiannu, they will fight hard, they will do the battle of trapped beasts, but when they run to Liaoyang City, this Jiannu's Shangjing, the former capital.
When they saw that the former capital and the current capital Liaoyang were conquered by the Ning Navy, they could also severely hit the morale of the Jiannu soldiers and make them panic.
Sometimes, the psychological factor is really important.
It's like a man who is trying to support his family, he can withstand one blow, and he can bear two blows, but let him see the dawn of victory, let him know that he can be promoted to manager immediately, and he can earn 100,000 yuan a month immediately, but when the company goes bankrupt, he will despair.
Seeing the black battle flag raised on Liaoyang City, looking at the artillery on the city wall, making a loud rumbling sound, and then looking at the earth-colored and trembling soldiers around them, many Houjin generals closed their eyes in pain and let out a lament: "It's over!" ”
"It's over!"
The desperate cries of the Jiannu warriors and the cries of dismounting burst out from the chests of these arrogant Jiannu warriors.
These horses, in fact, Chen Dayong's subordinates, who had already set off from the Shuangchengwei on the shore of Meituo Lake before the Baliwan decision, and even when Jiannu had just set off, were all soldiers of the Shuangchengwei Military Management Committee.
Seeing Jiannu coming to Liaoyang City in embarrassment, Chen Dayong's chapped lips made a hoarse voice: "Dashuai really defeated Jiannu and drove them to Liaoyang City, it's really good, we didn't run in vain this trip!" Fire the hell, fuck it! ”
Chen Dayong's original plan was to take advantage of Jiannu's nest to sneak attack Shenyang City, but then Cheng Shijie received information from the Red Flag Shofu that Shenyang became an empty city.
The significance of going to Shenyang City again is not much, it is just a symbolic accident, which is different from the farming nation, once Jiannu surrounds Shenyang, it will put Chen Dayong's lone army into a crisis.
Cheng Shijie temporarily changed his plan and let Chen Dayong's troops return to the vicinity of Liaoyang and wait for an opportunity to fight.
After Baiyintu passed through Liaoyang City and took away the few grains and grass in Liaoyang City, Chen Dayong's troops also took advantage of the night to sneak attack and take Liaoyang City in one fell swoop.
It wasn't until Huang Taiji led the rout and came to Liaoyang City that Chen Dayong sprinkled a handful of salt on Jiannu's wounds according to the plan.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
The four Franc cannons, and the solid shells fired from them, ploughed out four flesh alleys in the Jiannu array.
At this time, Huang Taiji's gaze was a little sloppy, and he muttered to himself: "Fifth brother"
Dai Shan reminded in a low voice: "The fifth is gone!" ”
"Seventh brother!"
"The seventh is gone!" (Actually, it's just a captive)
"Tenth brother!"
"The old ten is gone!"
Huang Taiji's inner anger and despair made his eyes blood-red, his face distorted, and his chest was disgusted, he suddenly threw away the horsewhip, covered his chest, and bent down overwhelmedly, only to hear a "poof", a stream of blood arrows spurted out of his mouth.
This prowess, brave and resourceful, King Houjin Khan, whose face did not change when Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, actually vomited blood in front of the two armies.
Seeing Huang Taiji vomiting blood, the Jiannu people will all be shocked.
Fan Wencheng's eyes were quick, he held Huang Taiji and shouted in horror: "King Khan, King Khan, what's wrong with you?" ”
Dolgon also pounced, pinching people vigorously: "King Khan, don't scare us, wake up!" ”
Huang Taiji's current appearance is indeed quite scary, his mouth is full of blood, his face is pale, his anger is like a gossamer, his lips are trembling and he can't even speak.
The army of tens of thousands of people was lost sixty or seventy thousand at once, this blow was too big for him, and his heart was like a knife, and he just wanted to roar wildly!
Dodor said angrily, "What are we waiting for? Rush up and kill all these bright dogs and avenge the tragic deaths of the soldiers! ”
Zilharang gritted his teeth: "Yes, kill all these bright dogs and avenge the tragic deaths of the soldiers!" ”
The army of Jiannu roared: "Revenge!" Avenge! Avenge! ”
Jiannu's eyes were all blood-red, and their howls were like those of wild beasts, which was very terrifying.
At this time, Dolgon looked at Dai Shan and said, "Second brother, what do you say now?" ”
Huang Taiji vomited blood and fell into a coma, Haoge's prestige was not enough to convince the public, and the person who could be in charge was naturally the second son of the emperor, that is, Dai Shan, who could temporarily take charge.
However, when he heard that Dolgon asked Daishan to come out to take charge, he knew that Dolgon was ready to be a demon again.
Once Daishan temporarily exercised the power of the Khan, in the future, there would inevitably be a rift in his political alliance with Daishan.
Huang Taiji is worthy of being a generation of heroes, decisive in killing, and after weighing the gains and losses, he quickly made a decision...... It's pointless to work hard with Ning Haijun here, anyway, his face is thrown into his grandmother's house, and he doesn't have the capital to pretend to be ruthless.
"Biography...... Ben Khan ...... The Khan ordered the whole army to retreat! ”
Dai Shan looked at Huang Taiji and said a little unwillingly: "King Khan! ”
"King Ben Khan doesn't want to say it a second time!"
Huang Taiji slowly closed his eyes.
Duoduo exclaimed in disbelief, "Withdraw? Just let these bright dogs go? ”
Huang Taiji said: "Withdraw!" I don't want to repeat it a second time! ”
Dorgon pulled a handful of Dodor and motioned for him to shut up.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this new Ming army is by no means easy to mess with, if it is not good, it is an army divided by Cheng Shijie, if they have the same combat effectiveness as the Ning Navy, even if they are weak, Dajin will fight hard with them, it will inevitably suffer heavy casualties, once Cheng Shijie catches up, there is no way.
The red flag, the blue flag, and the blue flag have all made people crippled, and the strength of his two white flags is far inferior to these flags, so if they really let them fight such a tough battle, it will definitely hurt their muscles and bones.
Strength is everything these days, since Huang Taiji doesn't want to fight, Duoduo insists on going out to fight to the death with the Ming army, and it is too stupid to end up with heavy casualties!
Looking at the retreat of Jiannu, Chen Dayong felt very regretful, Liaoyang City was not like Tongguan, Hangu Pass, Yanmen Pass, Shanhaiguan Pass, such passes, it was the only way for the army.
Liaoyang City, like Lushun City, is a north-south city, with a sun-shaped shape, if it is summer, they can indeed block the construction of slaves, but the problem is that it is winter.
Although the terrain was very unfavorable, Chen Dayong, like Cheng Shijie, never knew what it meant to accept it when he saw it, and he led more than 4,000 Shuangcheng guards to attack Jiannu.
Some exhausted Xibe and Sauron people did not follow Jiannu all the way to the dark, in their eyes, they took refuge in Jiannu in order to survive, and surrendered to the Ming army in order to survive.
"I surrender, we surrender!"
With the surrender of the Xibes and Saurons, the allies of Jiannu were one less, no, two.
