Chapter 333 finally blocked the opening
With Huang Taiji's order, the soldiers of Jiannu were excited.
Don't look at them in front of the Ning Navy, they were beaten out of their souls, in fact, the current Jiannu, in the face of the Ming army other than the Ning Navy, the Mongols, has an absolute psychological advantage.
It is not that they have not fought in Mobei Mongolia, just with their thin horses and soldiers in Mobei Mongolia, they can fight five Mobei Mongolia with one Jiannu warrior.
With Huang Taiji ordering the charge, just over an hour later, the battle between Kuku and Tun ended, and almost all of the Mobei Mongols left in Kuku and Tun were old, weak, sick and disabled, and they were the opponents of the Jiannu army.
When Huang Taiji entered Kuku and Tun, except for some young and beautiful women and children, they all turned into bloody corpses.
On the cowhide tents, which had not yet been burned, some of the cows and camels that had fallen to the ground were covered with sharp arrows. Not far away was a row of wooden stakes, on each of which hung the corpse of an old, weak, sick and sick Mongolian, also full of sharp arrows, and the thin, bloody corpse shook like a rag in the cold wind.
It is clear that these Mongols were taken prisoner after they stopped resisting, and then they were killed by the attackers by hanging them around their necks with straw ropes and on stakes, and then shooting them with arrows. Looking at the corpses of these Mongols, Huang Taiji's face was expressionless, he looked at Fan Wencheng and said, "How about the seizure?" ”
Hearing this, the eyes of Dai Shan, Yue Tuo, Dolgon, Hao Ge and the others around Huang Taiji became blood-red, and they were panting violently, all of them excited.
The living conditions in the grassland are very harsh, and they are several times more difficult than those of the Han people in Guannei, however, in Kuku and Tun, there are many families in Mobei Mongolia. No matter how poor Mobei Mongolia is, as the saying goes, a broken family is worth ten thousand, and the Mobei Mongols are the same.
Fan Wencheng smiled excitedly: "There are more than 18,600 children under the wheels who have been captured, more than 15,000 women who are suitable for childbearing, and some of them have escaped, but they can't run far, they will definitely be caught!" ”
Dai Shan smiled excitedly: "There are more than 40,000 captured war horses, as well as hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep, but these cattle and sheep are so thin that they don't have much meat!" ”
A general of Mobei Mongolia was taken prisoner in front of Huang Taiji.
The Mongol general, Shuolei's brother-in-law, Norbu, gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot, and his body trembled slightly. Norbu was actually an outsider, originally herded cattle in the lower reaches of the Volga River for generations, and was regarded as a remnant of the Golden Horde, but later the Turks came and expelled them with sabers and bows and arrows, forcing them to leave the pastures on which their ancestors depended to migrate eastward, and after entering Mongolia, they were ostracized and expelled by the Moxi Mongols, forced to wander around, with nowhere to live, until ten years ago when they defected to the Chechen Khanate.
Norbu acquired a small piece of pasture in Mobei. And because of his courage and resourcefulness, he was appreciated by Shuo Lei and married Shuo Lei's widow sister, in fact, his sister did not have any background, and the help she could provide him was pitiful, but after all, he became the son-in-law of the Chechen Khan, and with this identity, he, an outsider, could be regarded as gaining a firm foothold in the Chechen Khan.
Although he is still ridiculed and even bullied by various tribes sometimes, he doesn't care, his tribe has been wandering for too long, and it is already a great joy to have a place for them to graze with peace of mind!
This time, when he was heading south, he fought with the Tumut tribe, and he was very brave in his charge, but unfortunately he was shot by the warrior Bo Yan of the Tumut tribe and broke his leg, so he stayed in Kuku and Tun.
Unexpectedly, Huang Taiji led the elite of Jiannu to come, a surprise attack, Kuku and Tun were killed tens of thousands of people, a small number were captured, and about a third of the people temporarily escaped.
Norbu kicked his scarlet eyes: "Who are you?" Why slaughter our tribes! ”
"Ben Khan Emperor Taiji!"
Norpb said, "What have we done wrong that the Great Khan should slaughter my tribe?" ”
Huang Taiji's voice was a little hoarse: "Because you slaughtered the Tumut Ministry, and the Tumut Ministry is Ben Khan's dog, this dog, Ben Khan can be beaten or scolded, and the Han people also have a saying that it depends on the owner to beat the dog!" ”
Noble's anger grew: "Now that the snow has swept across the grasslands, with thousands of miles of snow, nowhere to graze, and livestock dying in large numbers, in order for the tribe to survive, we should go south, is it wrong?" Is it wrong? What the hell am I doing wrong? ”
The wind blew Nolbu's loose hair high, and his face was pale, but his eyes were blood-red, and he roared at the gloomy sky: "What have I done wrong to slaughter my people!? Who's going to tell me! ”
Haug raised his knife and slashed at Norb, and the cruel Haug chopped Norbu to pieces, a pile of minced meat. Only then did he calm down a little and jumped on his warhorse.
Huang Taiji let out a long sigh, he knew very well that the current Chechen Khan Department was the tomorrow of their Dajin Kingdom, the weather was getting colder and colder, and the time for the ice and snow to melt was getting shorter and shorter, and every year a large number of people would freeze to death, or starve to death, and a large number of cattle and sheep would also freeze to death, and they would not be able to stay in Liaodong.
They also want to go south, but the problem is that they are different from Mobei Mongolia, Mobei Mongolia can go south, they can defeat the Tumut tribe, and they can also enter the Great Wall, but Dajin does not have such good luck, their south is the Ning Navy, which is a very cruel and terrible enemy.
In fact, countless Jiannu had the courage to freeze to death and starve to death, and they didn't want to face the Ning Navy.
However, in any case, this was a long-lost victory, and the Jiannu warriors could enjoy the fruits of the victory, and those Jiannu warriors were eager to half-pounce on the Mongol women.
Unlike the Han Chinese, these Mongolian women have long agreed with the law of the steppe, that is, the law of the jungle, natural selection, the weak eat the strong, and the strong are respected.
As a winner, you can enjoy everything that a loser has, whether it is wealth, or a woman.
In fact, there are not many things seized in Kukuhe, nothing more than some flour or rice, some sugar cubes and refined salt, as well as cotton cloth and tea, and the most valuable thing is a few glass products, such as glass bottles, glass cups, etc., which are all snatched back from Taiyuan City, and the goods such as livestock and fur are not worth a few dollars.
However, Jiannu was about to be tormented by the snow disaster and went crazy, seeing that these good things all collectively suffered from pink eye, especially tea and glass products, the former is a luxury and has to be exchanged for a war horse, and the latter can't be exchanged even if they are willing to exchange a war horse!
Huang Taiji was indeed the good Khan king of the Dajin Kingdom, and under his command, they were paid handsomely at an almost negligible cost, and they were so rich!
The Mobei Mongolian tribes who tasted the sweetness shouted: "Kill all those Mobei people!" Kill all the Mobei people, they are all traitors to Mongolia......"
It doesn't matter if it's a traitor anymore, who cares anyway? What they care about is actually just profits, the Jiannu and the Mongols, who have tasted the sweetness, took a short rest, and the Jiannu rushed towards the next tribe in Mobei Mongolia, and the army of tens of thousands of people became even smaller, only about forty or fifty thousand horsemen roared away.
Because the things and riches that are snatched also need the protection of the warriors.
……
Taiyuan Province, Binh Dinh Prefecture.
Cheng Shijie is still very embarrassed, the rocket artillery is finished, and there are no shells for the original artillery in Pingdingzhou, even solid shells.
The most important thing is that now the Mongolian army has actually transported fifteen artillery pieces from Taiyuan City, including eleven Franc cannons and six-pounder cannons, and the largest is not a twelve-pounder Hongyi cannon.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
A fierce cannon sound came, shaking the heavens and the earth, and the dust on the roof of Cheng Shijie's temporary headquarters fell, Cheng Shijie was very angry, but there was no way, he had already left dozens of rocket launchers.
Even if there are dozens of rocket artillery, there are artillery positions that can reach the Mongolian army, but the problem is that the current Ning Navy officers and men do not have weapons that can exceed the range of a kilometer.
When the Mongolian army was frantically firing artillery, they had no choice but to stand up to the bombing, and the officers and men of the Ning Navy were okay, and they had also seen the artillery battle dozens of times larger than the Mongolian artillery pieces, in fact, the largest artillery battle still depended on the navy.
Of course, when I was in Kagoshima, when the Ning Navy was at its most, I gathered two or three thousand artillery pieces and bombarded Kagoshima, and now the artillery of the Mongolian army can't even compare with the test firing firepower of the Ning Navy and the Navy, and it is completely a child's pee.
But the problem is that the reconnaissance cavalry of the Annan Regiment of the Ning Navy only has rocket artillery, and now there is no rocket artillery.
Cheng Shijie said to Xie Shangkui: "Let's go!" ”
"Dashuai, you are still ......"
Without waiting for Xie Shangkui to finish speaking, Cheng Shijie had already walked to the headquarters.
Cheng Shijie came to the city wall, in fact, there are not a few soldiers on the city wall now, and in the face of passive beating, the Ning Navy soldiers can only retreat, leaving dozens of sentries to observe the situation. If the Mongols were attached to the siege of the city, they would go up to the city walls.
Outside the west gate of Pingdingzhou, only five or six hundred steps away from the city wall, the Mongol army was driving a group of artillery dressed in Ming soldiers, controlling the artillery.
Sixteen front-loading smoothbore guns with polished barrels were spewing thunderous fireballs towards the walls. In the past few days, the Mongol army in Mobei has not only been busy building siege equipment, but a large number of renegade Ming troops have been mobilized, ready to be the first batch of cannon fodder to attack the city and withstand the fiercest firepower of the defenders.
These cannon fodder also brought sixteen artillery pieces with a range of two or three miles, although it is still far from the terrifying power of quantum cannons such as "one cannon erodes dozens of miles", but it is already a rare weapon in the messy and low-quality firearms arsenal of the Ming army.
These cannons were also built by Xie Zhiliang and deployed to Taiyuan and other important cities to strengthen the defense of these cities, however, Xie Zhiliang did not expect that these cannons did not play any role when the Tartars invaded on a large scale, but were used to attack Pingdingzhou!
The lead ball flew in the wind and hit the city wall, the whole city wall sparks splashed, the stone chips rained down, the rammed earth city wall was beaten out of shocking cracks one after another, and the battlements were even more vulnerable, turning into countless fragments at the moment when they were hit by the cannonballs.
In just one salvo, the Ning Navy suffered six casualties, but the problem is that this is because there are too few people arranged. Those gunners behaved like a wreck on the side of the Ming army, but when they arrived in Mongolia, they broke out a little bloody, and they came with twelve percent of their skills, what shit!
Li Dingguo was commanding on the city wall. He is still calm, and his orders are quite organized, but he always makes people feel less steady.
This is also normal, a general's prestige is to be accumulated through victory, Li Dingguo has not fought any defeats since he followed Zhang Xianzhong, the only defeat is because of facing Ning Haijun.
"Dashuai!"
Cheng Shijie signaled Li Dingguo not to salute and salute on the city wall, didn't he tell the artillery below that there were senior officials above?
Cheng Shijie asked, "How is the situation?" ”
Li Dingguo cried and laughed: "The Mongolian Tatars are crazy, and as soon as they come up, they will dispatch thousands of people to storm the north gate, wanting to take Pingding Prefecture in one fell swoop!" ”
"Because they don't have time!"
Cheng Shijie smiled faintly: "Lu Xiangsheng has returned to Taiming Mansion with the Tianxiong Army, and Hong Chengchou has also led the Trilateral Army to Pingyang Mansion!" ”
Li Dingguo instantly understood, Taihang Eight Shan is the eight passages from the Taihang Mountain, the eighth army is in Juyong Pass, the seventh Puyin is in Zijing Pass in Yi County, Hebei, the sixth Flying Fox is in Datong, the fifth is in Zhending Mansion, and the fourth is in Daimyo's Mansion.
In fact, Cheng Shijie is now guarding the west gate of Jingcheng, Pingding Prefecture, after Pingding Prefecture is Yangquan County, the second Taihang Prefecture, the third Baicheng, these two are now in Yangping Prefecture, that is to say, Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng respectively blocked the entrance of the Upper Mongolian army to the east into Gyeonggi.
The only way for the Mongol army was to break through Pingdingzhou, capture Yangquan and then take Jingcheng; Kill into Zhending Mansion and coerce the capital, otherwise they will occupy the entire Shanxi, and the impact on the Ming Dynasty will not be great.
Li Dingguo said with some concern: "However, there are too few firearms now, I'm afraid they won't be enough!" ”
From the bottom of his heart, if he exchanges the elite scouts of the Ning Navy for ordinary cannon fodder, even if he exchanges a hundred for one, Cheng Shijie is distressed, don't look at the more than 300,000 people in the Ning Navy now, but the reconnaissance of the Ning Navy is really set together, but there are only four or five thousand people, and these scouts, the real battlefield is in Annan.
But the problem is that Cheng Shijie has no choice.
The current historical time and space have been changed beyond recognition by him, and his ability to predict is becoming more and more limited.
Under the pressure of the Mongols' bows and arrows, those soldiers who surrendered to the Ming army had to attack Pingdingzhou, some were a little slower, and the Mongol cavalry galloped forward, with a wave of their scimitars, and their heads flew out with a whirlwind.
"Those who retreat die !!"
"Death to the cowardly!"
Only then did these rebels realize that now they were working for the Mongol Tartars, and if they were about to collapse like before, they would be killed on the spot! Under the threat of death, the rebel soldiers let out a frantic howl and quickened their pace. Bullets kept falling among them, splashing a puddle of blood, screams and cries were endless, and they didn't stop!
