Chapter 368 named Cheng Shijie as the king of Liao
Countless soldiers of the Tianxiong Army reported their names and places of origin, hoping that Lu Xiangsheng would remember them.
There is no need, Lu Xiangsheng will not forget them, and will never forget their group of ordinary soldiers, because a person in a Confucian shirt can bully them, and any landlord and old wealth will insult them unscrupulously, however, they are men who stand up and burst out with dazzling light at this critical juncture.
The Qing army, which was quickly arranging the formation, was surprised to see that the Ming army's formation was noisy, but it was as steady as a rock, and they did not move even if the arrows rained down on their bodies.
"These Ming soldiers shouldn't have taken the wrong medicine......
After saying that, the face of this Qing army's Jia La'e really changed greatly, and the entire Ming Dynasty could face the Jianzhou Jurchen warriors' charging and immovable army, and there was only one, and that was the Ning Navy.
Within a radius of more than ten miles in the Sunit area, all the soldiers of the Ming army looked at those soldiers of the Tianxiong army, and the soldiers of the Tianxiong army sang the battle song of Ma Ta Yanran while attacking the Jiannu cavalry. They are tragic and heroic, in this wind and sand, in the biting cold wind, under the pressure of the iron cavalry, the soldiers of the Tianxiong Army who have drawn the death lot, can calmly face death.
Quietly watching the Tianxiong army launch a decisive attack on the Jiannu cavalry wave after wave, at that moment, Lu Xiangsheng, the god of war of the Ming Dynasty, who was known for his perseverance and calmness, burst into tears.
Lu Xiangsheng silently put on the silver armor that Cheng Shijie gave him, this armor is made of stainless steel, and it is coated on the surface with a silver plating process, although it is easy to attract the attention of the enemy, it can also be seen by the whole army and the figure of their commander.
The Mo knife in Lu Xiangsheng's hand swung out: "All the soldiers, follow Benhou to kill Jiannu!" ”
The soldiers of the Ming Army, who were originally calmly watching, slowly clenched the swords and guns in their hands. The courage and heroism of the Han and Tang dynasties who slaughtered all the Hulu outside the fortress, and the martial and warlike warriors of the Chinese ethnic groups who have overcome obstacles and opened up their territory for thousands of years have been revived in their blood.
"Isn't it just death? Lao Tzu is no longer alive! ”
Everyone is flesh and blood, and the soldiers of the Tianxiong Army can face death calmly and leave the hope of survival to their allies, and they can too!
Now the entire Sunit region has been completely chaotic, fighting everywhere, and there are beacons and wolves everywhere. The soldiers of the Jiannu cavalry immediately found that they seemed to be stuck in a swamp, and they attacked, and the Ming army also attacked them.
The two sides fought bloody battles with flesh and blood, and the soldiers of the Tianxiong army carried grenades or used gunpowder bags to die with the Jiannu cavalry. This move immediately began to be imitated across the board.
"Father, mother, the child can't be filial!"
"Xiuniang, if there is a next life, I will marry you again......"
"Damn it, raise the child, and I will allow you to remarry...... Forget it, you can remarry if you want to......"
The decisive counterattack launched by the Ming army had a good effect, because they found that there was no chance to raise speed at all, and once the cavalry lost speed, it was a target, and there were too many ways for the infantry to deal with them.
At this time, looking down from the sky, the Sunit area was like a huge whirlpool, countless Qing cavalry launched an attack on Lu Xiangsheng, and around them, countless Ming troops were also attacking them. The two sides exchanged lives for lives, blood for blood, and the battlefield was extremely tragic.
In fact, if the Qing cavalry wanted to retreat, they had a good chance of retreating.
It's a pity, it's a pity, Huang Taiji's order to them is to kill Lu Xiangsheng, they have no choice, with more and more Ming soldiers awakened by the bloodline, under the fierce and fearless charge, the Jiannu cavalry was slowly surrounded by the Ming army, the encirclement at this time is not tight, they still have a chance to break through, however, the Jiannu cavalry also knows that they have no way to retreat, this is their only chance, the only chance to enter the Central Plains, defeat the Ming Dynasty.
Seeing that there were fewer and fewer Jiannu cavalry around him, and the encirclement was getting smaller and smaller, a Niu Lu said sincerely: "Master, let's withdraw ......"
"Pull a fart, kill me ......"
Before he finished his words, Lu Xiangsheng's Mo knife flew obliquely from the stab, and his head rose into the air, leaving a rain of blood all the way.
The battle slowly stopped, and almost all of the more than 10,000 Jiannu cavalry were killed, even those who did not die fell to the ground, and more Ming soldiers fell on the battlefield, after all, the combat effectiveness was there, and the cavalry still had a suppressive advantage.
Lu Xiangsheng looked at the corpses everywhere, the broken arms everywhere, the human organs everywhere, and the flesh and blood everywhere.
Lu Xiangsheng's gaze fell on the corpse of the war horse that fell to the ground: "He Ruobin! ”
"Mark it in!"
"A lot of military rations were burned by Jiannu, and the corpses of the war horses were harvested, don't waste them, and make them into jerky!"
Lu Xiangsheng didn't know how much grain and grass there was now, it would definitely not be too much, otherwise they wouldn't have transported the sand and soil here as grain. This is not something that one person can do, Daming has a mature administrative management system, just like military rations from allocation, transshipment, departure, inspection, need to go through more than 20 procedures. Being able to hide from him as a quartermaster is not an easy thing to do.
Lu Xiangsheng did not stop, there was an assassination of the Guanning army here, and there was also a cavalry of the Qing army, so the main force of the Northern Expedition led by Zhu Chunchen may have also been surrounded.
Lu Xiangsheng led the remaining cavalry of the Tianxiong Army to continue northward, and he wanted to do his best to bring this dead end back.
What Cheng Shijie can do, he Lu Xiangsheng can also do, even if he can't do it, then he must do his best.
Lu Xiangsheng went north to thirty or forty miles, and he encountered the rout of the Ming army, and he talked to Cheng Shijie about how to hold the city of Pingdingzhou, that is, because Xie Zhiliang used his identity as the general soldier of Taiyuan to collect the rout.
Lu Xiangsheng is the same, he let the thunder sound disperse, like a big net, when he encounters a rout, he intercepts it, disobedient, greedy for life and afraid of death, no matter who it is, kill it.
In this way, there are more and more people around Lu Xiangsheng.
……
In the camp of the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Ming Dynasty on Sanshen Mountain,
That's right, he was stupid, Wu Sangui and Guan Ningjun rebelled, he was rampage in the Chinese army camp with the Jiading cavalry, and around the camp, the Jiannu cavalry, the Mongolian cavalry, and also the Han army banner, all attacked.
The whole mess was in a mess, as the commander of the three armies of the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Chunchen was now very calm, sitting firmly in the tent of the Chinese army, coldly watching thousands of troops and horses killing rivers of blood around him, and coldly watching the Qing army ambush in all directions, coming from all over the field, with an expressionless face. His calmness in turn affected the generals of the Ming army.
Zhu Chunchen did not open his mouth to command, so they took the initiative to command the troops to fight their own battles, and fought to the death with the Qing army and the Guanning army. Zhu Chunchen, the marshal, is so calm, but it gives the Ming army confidence, but if these generals take a closer look at Zhu Chunchen's crotch, they will find that this is not the case, and the crotch of the goods will already be wet!
It's not a deal, it's just stupid! Zhu Chunchen's brain lost his thinking, he didn't fight a real battle, but he was shot here in the big tent of the Chinese army, wounded a eunuch, and killed four soldiers, but Zhu Chunchen was so scared that he urinated.
Although Zhu Chunchen was born in a family of generals, although he also led soldiers, he took the Beijing camp to the Chongzhen Emperor to exercise, the drill is a drill, and the real life-and-death war are two completely different concepts.
Zhu Chunchen has never seen such a terrifying scene of guns and cannons, banners covering the wilderness, and sharp arrows covering the sky, and he has ever seen a scene of hundreds of thousands of troops fighting like wild beasts! It's already very kind to be scared to pee, not to be scared to death on the spot!
Of course, even if they noticed that Zhu Chunchen peed his pants, everyone would still selectively ignore this point and tell themselves that Zhu Chunchen was in command. After all, the situation is bad enough now, if the commander is no longer reliable, it will be completely finished!
Wu Sangui led the Yiding Assault Cavalry to rush straight to the horse, and now the imperial flag was getting closer and closer, almost within reach.
However, at this moment, an infantry appeared in front of the cavalry of the Guanning army, this group of infantry was ragged, like beggars, they were very poorly equipped, even the archers were very small, each with a spear, this was their weapon.
The Ming army was equipped with a lot of pikemen, not because the spear was powerful, but because the spear was very cheap, a hollow spear head, about three inches long, and the spear performed in later generations or film and television dramas are two concepts.
Wu Sangui looked at this army and immediately reacted, this is the Shizhu Sichuan Army.
Wu Sangui is no stranger to Shizhu River, as early as the battle of the Daling River, Wu Xiang pit the Shizhu Sichuan army, he fled directly, the flank of the Sichuan army was ceded to Jiannu, 7,000 Baipole Sichuan army, only less than 3,000 people retreated, and more than 4,000 people stayed on the bank of the Daling River.
When the enemy meets, he is very red-eyed.
If the military expenses of the Guanning Army are given to the Shizhuchuan Army, not to mention the destruction of Jiannu, at least the results of the Battle of the Daling River can be rewritten, even if they give the Shizhuchuan Army one-tenth, they can also harden Jiannu with at least three banners.
The pikemen happened to restrain the cavalry equipment, Wu Sangui rushed to kill for a long time, the physical strength of the war horse was about to be exhausted, and in the face of the defense of the Sichuan army, they were delayed when they attacked.
Of course, the Sichuan army is delaying the Guanning army with their lives, after all, the equipment of the Guanning army is too good, and the inferior spears in their hands are not like the spears of the Ning Navy, the spears of the Ning Navy, even if they are the red armor soldiers of Jiannu, if they are unlucky, they will be stabbed through the heart.
It's a pity that the quality of the spears of the Sichuan army is too poor, and it is difficult to hit the armor of the officers and soldiers of the Guanning army at one time, and they can only choose weak parts to attack. However, he successfully stopped Wu Sangui's attack.
Chongzhen looked at the Wuzi banner with a bit of blood, and was dumbfounded: "This ...... Isn't this the Wu family's army? I treat them well, why should they ......"
To say that Emperor Chongzhen's most trusted general, many people subconsciously think that he trusts Cheng Shijie the most, in fact, this is not the case, Emperor Chongzhen's most trusted person is Lu Xiangsheng, as early as the second year of Chongzhen, Lu Xiangsheng led nearly 10,000 famous mansions to the people, and went north to King Qin.
This is one hundred and forty prefectures in the three capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty, only Lu Xiangsheng, the prefect, recruited the people to strengthen the north and went to the king of Qin, so Emperor Chongzhen remembered Lu Xiangsheng, and the second person was not Cheng Shijie, but Wu Sangui, as the emperor who likes to listen to the commentary, Wu Sangui and Lu Xiangsheng are people with real skills, they can really fight on the battlefield, like Zhao Zilong.
Cheng Shijie really doesn't have the ability to catch and kill.
Qin Yiming stumbled to the front of the car and knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the rebels are too fierce, and the ministers and others can no longer support it, I implore the emperor to retreat first to avoid accidents!" ”
Chongzhen finally reacted and roared: "I won't leave!" I'm here to stay! I want to see what those rebellious ministers and thieves want, and I want to ask them why they betrayed me and betrayed the Ming Dynasty! ”
Emperor Chongzhen was really angry, he asked himself if he was not thin on Lu Xiangsheng, the establishment of the Tianxiong Army, he wanted people to give people, food to food, equipment to equipment, Cheng Shijie's Ninghai State did not have this treatment.
Of course, Lu Xiangsheng's treatment is not as good as that of the Guanning army, although the Guanning army has been losing the battle and has been unclear with Jiannu, Emperor Chongzhen can pinch his nose and tolerate it, this Northern Expedition is to let the Guanning army be the main force, as the king of a country, he has done his best to this group of Liaoxi warlords, right?
However, Guan Ningjun repaid his trust by defecting in battle, which made Chongzhen extremely angry, and this anger even overwhelmed the fear of death, he just wanted to rush forward and ask Wu Sangui why he betrayed him and betrayed Daming!
Qin Yiming begged bitterly: "Your Majesty, the situation is critical, now is not the time to be angry!" Let's go, it's too late if you don't go! ”
I have to admit that Wu Sangui is an excellent general, his command ability is much stronger than his father Wu Xiang, and he found that the Sichuan army was fighting in formation, and it was definitely not the way to rush hard, so he directly ordered the soldiers to ride and shoot, but unfortunately, the Sichuan army had too few bows and crossbows, and they couldn't take advantage of the shooting at all.
And more importantly, they had a low armor rate, and they had no shields, and under the rush of the cavalry of the Guanning army, they suffered heavy casualties, and just when Emperor Chongzhen was unwilling to retreat, the defense line of the Sichuan army was already crumbling.
It's not that the combat effectiveness of the Sichuan army is not strong, it's not that they can't fight, the equipment is too poor, what can they do? In the past, when the Sichuan army faced Jiannu, they were the crossbowmen who protected other Ming armies in front, and under the cover of other Ming army's bows and crossbows, the Jiannu cavalry could not easily gnaw the Sichuan army's defense line.
Now there is nothing to do, the Beijing camp around Emperor Chongzhen has not been received, and the camp has not been stabilized until now, and no one is fighting with the Sichuan army at all.
Unconsciously, the Sichuan army suffered heavy casualties, and Wu Sangui had already killed only two or three hundred meters away from the fierce drive, raising his knife and shouting: "Capture Zhu Youzhen alive!" ”
The cavalry of the Wu family shouted wildly: "Capture Zhu Youzhen alive!" Capture Zhu Youzhen alive! ”
Chongzhen looked at this group of fierce gods and evil in a daze, and laughed miserably: "Is this the soldier I trust?" Is this the Guanning powerhouse that I lean on like the Great Wall? I'm blind! ”
Emperor Chongzhen roared, threw off his crown, scattered his hair, and wailed to the sky: "I'm blind!! ”
In the unbridled shouts, the cavalry of the Wu family surged over like a tide, Qin Yiming roared helplessly, and led the few remaining family members to meet and fight with Wu Sangui.
Qin Yiming's little bit naturally couldn't stop the fierce Wu family cavalry, and it was submerged in a blink of an eye, Wu Sangui's sudden cavalry laughed wildly and pounced on the horse, extremely proud!
However, they laughed a little early.
"Bang ......"
The deafening sound of gunfire caused his horse to neigh. He reined in his horse, turned his head and ran away, only to see that there was an infantry phalanx of thousands of people behind the big tent of the Chinese army, which was hollow, with a distance of more than 200 meters between the phalanxes, and all musketeers.
This is the Li Chongzhen Department of the Tianxiong Army, because Lu Xiangsheng was unwilling to be the commander of the three armies, Li Chongzhen's Department was also dispersed, and Mo Youqian was a servant soldier of the Beijing Battalion.
Treating the most capable generals as baggage, and treating the most capable soldiers as the young master soldiers of the Beijing camp as logistics soldiers, this is a good thing that Zhu Chunchen has done.
However, this was also tacitly approved by Emperor Chongzhen.
If Emperor Chongzhen didn't nod, Zhu Chunchen wouldn't have done it, because he knew that having a strong fighting force in his hands was the foundation of a general.
Fortunately, this unintentional act of inserting willows saved Emperor Chongzhen, and the fire guns of the Tianxiong Army held the fire guns and shot angrily at the cavalry of the Guanning Army who came from the field, and there were six cannons roaring in front of them, and the grape bullets fired were as dense as torrential rain.
The Wu family's iron cavalry, which had always been overwhelming, encountered a strong resistance, and was cut down by this extremely fierce fire like mowing grass. The cavalry of the Wu family tried to attack head-on, but they were beaten all over the ground, and finally rushed to the front of the phalanx, and there were hail of grape bullets smashed over, and the war horse was even more frightened by the dense sound of guns and cannons, and did not dare to crash into it.
The fire bolt attacked, the Sichuan army and the Tianxiong army were killed and scattered together to launch a local small counteroffensive, and Wu Sangui's command was killed on his back, and the casualties skyrocketed!
Seeing this scene, Wu Sangui was reluctant to fight, in just a quarter of an hour, he commanded more than 3,000 people, nearly half less, more than 1,000 dead and wounded, which made Wu Sangui very distressed.
He took refuge in Jiannu, and soldiers and horses are the foundation of survival. If there were no soldiers and horses in hand, Huang Taiji would definitely treat him as air. Chongzhen's generous treatment of Guan Ningjun is not completely fed to the dogs, at least there is such a group of Guan Ningjun who are loyal to him and are willing to fight for him, even if they draw a knife against the former robe!
In the front camp, Guan Ning Jun Zu Dabi took a knife and killed Zu Dashou and Zu Dacheng brothers, Zu Dabi slashed Zu Dashou while scolding Zu Dashou for being confused and insulting the ancestors.
Zu Dashou also has no way to explain, because if he doesn't take refuge in Jiannu, his deal with Jiannu will be made public by Zu Dacheng, a bastard, and there are things that can be done and can't be said.
is like the director of Nanjing Real Estate who was dealt with in later generations, smoking cigarettes and wearing famous watches, he is not alone, but he is exposed. The person who colluded with Jiannu was not Zu Dashou, but the problem was that once this matter was exposed, Emperor Chongzhen would definitely clean him up, and it would be certain that he would be dismissed and raided.
At that time, how many people were willing to follow him?
It is better that at this time, the civil strife of the Guanning army made Wu Sangui retreat and lose the mind to fight.
"Retreat!"
Although the credit for capturing Emperor Chongzhen is not small, the problem is that the Jiannu cavalry has not broken through the defense line of the Ming army's camp for a long time, which makes Wu Sangui very dissatisfied, and Huang Taiji's purpose in using him is too obvious, and he is not like becoming a bare-bones commander.
In this way, Wu Sangui ordered a retreat, and Emperor Chongzhen breathed a sigh of relief.
Huang Taiji didn't want to attack, and won the Ming Northern Expedition in one fell swoop, this is because he was scared by the battle of the Daling River, knowing that the Northern Expedition Ming Army had little food and grass, as long as he surrounded the Ming Northern Expeditionary Army, he could win the final victory without effort, why bother with human life?
Now the Ming army still has some combat effectiveness, that's because they still have a little food and grass, if there is no food, how many days can these hundreds of thousands of Ming army elites last?
Huang Taiji stationed at the horse and looked at the battlefield coldly.
The current situation made him very satisfied, the way forward was blocked, the retreat was cut off, Guan Ningjun stabbed him in the back, and the successive blows made the Ming army fall into extreme chaos, and until now they are still fighting on their own.
In the rear of the Ming army, the pillars of smoke rushed higher and higher, and the ghost knew how many ordnance materials were burned in the raging flames, and these ordnance materials were all mobilized from the Gyeonggi region!
From Beijing and Tianjin to here, nearly 2,000 miles away, the cost of transporting so many ordnance materials can be imagined, but now these material transfer stations have become a sea of fire in front of the roaring Manchurian iron cavalry, each pillar of smoke rushing up means that the Ming army's hope of survival is deprived of a point, and the destruction of each material transfer station means that the noose around the neck of the Ming army has been tightened a few points.
There is no suspense in this war.
The Gyeonggi army was emptied, the mobile force of the Tianxiong army was also evacuated, and the entire Beizhili and Shandong were empty, as long as this Ming army was annihilated, and then waved into the pass, it would be easy to take Beijing!
After taking the entire Beizhili, and then recruiting the rebels, the Ning army set an example, and it was easy to mobilize a million troops! Without food, the Tianxiong army is destined to be cut off here, as long as the Guanning army is destroyed again, the Ming Dynasty will be completely dead.
As for Ning Haijun, it is a headache.
What Huang Taiji thought was that as long as he entered Beijing, he would let people contact Cheng Shijie, and what could he do if Cheng Shijie was named the king of Liao?
Emperor Chongzhen can marry his sister to Cheng Shijie, Huang Taiji has no sister, but he still has a daughter, marry a daughter, change the world, he will not suffer.
It's just that what Huang Taiji didn't figure out was why these Ming armies didn't collapse.
PS: By the way, a few digressions, the setting of this book is because of Cheng Shijie, he told me that he has suffered for half his life and wants to be the protagonist in the book once, I started the setting of this book according to his experience and actual situation, but God made people, in reality, Cheng Jiayue did not stick to it, Jiang Wenhua and Qiao Shuyuan also parted ways, Cheng Shijie has not been in touch for nearly two and a half months, at that time my mentality also collapsed, poor couples mourn everything, and bad luck is looking for miserable people. Lao Cheng will no longer be mixed with similar settings in the future, and I have cheated myself, the protagonist of the last book is Quan Xu, and the result has also been complained by many people.
