Chapter 390

Cheng Shijie also did not expect that just two rounds of rocket artillery bombardment would collapse the Sanhe battalion of the Qing army.

In fact, it was indeed beyond Cheng Shijie's expectations, in fact, the Qing army also grew up in the battle, and in the shelling in the past few days, the Qing army made very rapid progress through the study of war.

They have learned to lie down on the spot in the face of artillery fire, and as long as they crawl on the ground, they will reduce the damage, and they also know that the dense formation they were best at is no longer practical, and they spread out as much as possible, whether it is offensive or defensive, usually only one-eighth of the original size.

Let's just say that the team that originally used 800 people to defend or attack, now only uses 100 people, but is divided into eight waves, so that the casualties have been reduced, and the killing effect of the Ning Navy's rocket artillery has been greatly reduced.

But the problem is that this time Huang Taiji sent more than 10,000 pig teammates, this pig teammate is the Jingying Army, these troops have no actual combat experience, and they are bold and small, let them fight the enemy, they are very timid, if they violate military discipline, or contradict their bosses, their courage is surprising.

Just like many landlords in Beizhili, they have more or less equipment at home, and these equipment are sold by the soldiers of the Beijing camp, from artillery to guns, spears and daggers, and there is nothing they dare not sell.

In this case, in the first round of rocket artillery, these firearms soldiers of the Beijing battalion immediately herded sheep, although Cheng Shijie's strategic purpose was to adopt refueling tactics at Sanhe and exhaust the main strength of the Qing army, but the problem was that now the Qing army collapsed.

Then the Ning Navy will definitely not let go of this opportunity, the cavalry of the Ning Navy is like a raging wind and fire, and in a blink of an eye, it swept through most of the Qing army's camp, and the Qing army was either blocked in the camp as a pig slaughter or driven out of the camp, headless and brainless towards the camp that had not yet been attacked, in order to seek protection.

The Qing troops in the camps that had not yet been attacked finally reacted, the crossbowmen and firecrackers were in place, and some bronze cannons were also urgently pulled over, and the muzzles of the guns were aimed at the direction where the Ming cavalry was roaring.

There were still sixteen strongholds in good condition, and these sixteen barracks were horns of each other, and the crossbowmen and musketeers in them numbered thirty or forty thousand, and once the fire was fully fired, it could form an impermeable network of fire and strangle the enemy troops who rushed at them.

The Ning Navy was obviously well aware of this, and they did not attack these camps recklessly, but drove the Qing army over like a sheep, trying to break the Qing army's defense line, and then take advantage of the situation. This is the usual tactic of the Mongols, and if it is well coordinated, it is amazingly powerful, especially in night battles, and it can get twice the result with half the effort.

Of course, the Ming army will not pin all their hopes on a set of tactics that have been used for thousands of years, while vigorously driving the Qing army to storm the barracks, their artillery units also rushed over with cannons, and if the rout army failed to break the Qing army's defense line, they would bombard his sister with artillery!

Originally, this tactic could have received good results, but the Qing army was now leaderless and panicked, and it was simply untenable to be rushed by the rout. However, they made thousands of calculations, but they missed Wu Sangui! The general of the Guan Ning Army originally subconsciously wanted to escape, but the cavalry of the Ning Navy surrounded him in an arc, and the tens of thousands of rout troops were like an avalanche, leaving him no room to escape at all, so he was wrapped in the middle of the rout, and involuntarily poured into the camp of the Chinese army.

Now the general finally reacted and roared angrily: "I am Wu Sangui, the chief soldier of the former battalion of the Guanning Army!" Pass my general's order, immediately close the camp gate, and open artillery to bombard the enemy troops! ”

Hundreds of Wu family members shouted loudly, hundreds of voices roared out, overpowering the noisy voices, the rout army and the Qing army holding the camp made him tremble all over, opening his mouth wide but unable to make a sound.

Wu Sangui looked at the rout and pretended not to hear it, so he directly swung his knife and slashed at the rout, and the Wu family Ding soldiers around him also followed the commander to slash the rout. Whether it is the Mongols or the Jiannu, Wu Sangui is very kind this time, he doesn't think about the consequences, not to mention, under Wu Sangui's cold-blooded and ruthless indiscriminate slashing, in just one pillar of incense, the rout was controlled.

Waiting for the rout to calm down, Wu Sangui roared: "What are you waiting for? Fire! Hold off the enemy! Let them rush over again, and we'll all have to die here! ”

Adjutant General He Wenshan pointed at the rout soldiers who were rushing over and shouted: "But, General Wu, if we open fire, we will definitely injure many of our own soldiers by mistake!" ”

Wu Sangui gritted his teeth and said, "I can't care about so much, shoot me and beat the enemy back!" ”

"Woo Woo ......"

Guan Ningjun has always abandoned his teammates at critical moments and fled alone, but this time they did not escape, but became the backbone of the Qing army, I have to say, this is really ironic.

Looking at the Qing army that was driven to the camp by the cavalry of the Ning Navy, Wu Sangui shouted: "Release the arrows, something happened, this commander bears it!" ”

"Woo Woo ......"

The sound of sharp arrows breaking through the sky converged into a storm and slashed across the battlefield, making people's scalps numb, everyone fled to the prestige, only to see that the arrows with flames over there shot out in the bowstring trembling, and then fell like a rain of fire after a distance of forty or fifty steps, and the Qing army routed and fell a large piece of the army, and the Ning naval cavalry responsible for driving the sheep also fell in clusters.

The behavior of the Guan Ning army opened Pandora's magic combination, and the Qing army, which was still hesitating, had an example, and immediately opened fire, several barracks were like rain of arrows, and the smoke and flames from the rows of muskets almost turned the camp into a sea of fire.

Both the Ming and Qing armies were shrouded in a rain of arrows, twisting their bodies in pain in the terrible metal storm and letting out a terrible scream.

Many Qing soldiers scolded in despair: "Don't you have long eyes, and your own people will shoot ...... Yes!!! ”

Before he finished a sentence, his whole body was full of arrows, like a stack of arrows, and he died as ugly as he wanted. Presumably, at this time, the Qing troops who were driven by the Ning Navy to attack their own camp must have collapsed in their hearts, and they fled desperately, just to hide in the strong camp to avoid the pursuit of the enemy......

"Wu Sangui of your mother, this account ......"

This sentence was not finished, the Yellow Flag Niu Lu Ezhen Borzigit Urut looked down at the arrow on his chest, because when he was drinking, he drank too much and untied his armor, so there was no armor on his body, and the sharp arrow shot into his chest, he was like a balloon punctured by a needle, and quickly drained his strength: "I'll count it with you in the next life!" ”

"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"

A deafening roar was heard from the camp of the Guanning army, twenty or thirty cannons roared, and rows of cannonballs were wrapped in smoke and flames and burst out of the barrels, smashing over the heads of the routs and smashing into the Ming cavalry.

The shells of these cannons fell and bounced again, and both men and horses were shattered the moment the shells swept over, and the blood plasma and flesh were splashed everywhere, which was disgusting! With just one salvo, hundreds of Ning Navy cavalry were torn to pieces by this fierce artillery fire.

Of course, the casualties of the Qing army were even more severe, many shells fell among them, bouncing all the way, everywhere they went, the sound of broken bones was connected, the broken limbs and flesh flew in the sky, the organs were thrown around, and the Qing soldiers who had broken their hands and feet for a while let out a wail like a dying beast, and the sound made people's hairs stand on end.

The fierce artillery fire finally brought the rout to their composure, they gritted their teeth, went around the camp and drilled into the rear, not daring to rush straight to the camp that was waiting for them, the friendly troops who held the camp recognized them, the muskets and crossbows did not recognize them, and the shells did not know them, and it was a death to rush over!

The Qing army regained its composure, but the Mongolian cavalry under the command of the Ning Navy lost their minds a little, and many cavalry roared angrily, regardless of the officer's order, brandished their sabers and rushed towards the Qing army camp, Zhao Wencai couldn't drink it, so he could only scold: "You guys are going to die!" ”

The roar of bows and crossbows and the firing of muskets drowned out Zhao Wencai's voice, and in front of the impermeable firepower net, these fierce and reckless Mongolian cavalry of the Ning Navy rode in a row of five horses and a bush, rolling together with men and horses as if they had been strafed by heavy machine guns.

Dozens of horsemen, all covered with arrows, rushed to the fence and slashed at the fence with their sabers. However, fighting is not just a matter of ferocity, these fences are made of trees with the thickness of the mouth of the bowl, even with a large axe, it takes a lot of effort to cut down, and it is too unrealistic to cut it down in a short time with a saber.

The sword flashed, and there were deep knife marks on the fence, and the spears piercing from behind the fence stabbed the cavalrymen and horses together, and the battle was completely one-sided.

Wu Sangui secretly breathed a sigh of relief and shouted loudly: "Yes, that's how to fight!" They were all light horsemen, and had no weapons but sabers and bows and arrows, and as long as we were calm and composed, they would not be able to gnaw at our strongholds...... Hit, hit me hard! ”

The encouraged Qing army doubled its courage, and fired sharp arrows denser than torrential rain, such a density of firepower, unless it was equipped with heavy horses, as many as they rushed up, they would die.

The attacking Ning Navy cavalry is okay, their armor can ignore light arrows, as long as they don't encounter armor-piercing arrows, as long as they are not unlucky enough to go to grandma's house and be shot in the throat and face, it has little impact. However, the Mongolian cavalry who surrendered to the Ning Navy were all lightly armed, and many of them did not even wear cuirasses, let alone equipment, and there was no difference between being naked in front of the strong bows and crossbows of the Qing army, and the cavalry that rushed up was quickly shot into sea urchins, and none of them came back.

Zhao Wencai rushed to Qi Yan's side and said sharply: "Restrain your troops, don't attack anymore, this is sending you to death!" ”

Qi Yan's eyes were covered with a few bloodshots, and the Miao Dao, which was still dripping blood, pointed at the Qing army camp and shouted: "What a good opportunity, they are panicked and panicked, as long as we increase our strength, we can completely defeat them, and then break the army and kill the generals!" Just push it up! ”

Zhao Wencai shouted: "To continue to charge is to send you to death!" Let the artillery come over and smash the camp of Jiannu, and don't attack until the artillery bombards the camp of Jiannu, otherwise you will die as much as you go up! ”

Qi Yan was still unwilling, but looking at the dead bodies lying on the ground in front of the Qing army barracks, he could only grit his teeth and give up.

Now the Qing army has more crossbowmen than his total strength, and there are such strong camps and two or three hundred cannons, such a powerful defensive force, how can a light cavalry be able to break through? Without a seizure, he had no choice but to restrain the troops, let them suspend the attack, and at the same time let the artillery hurry over to build a position and smash the turtle shells of the Qing army with shells!

The avalanche and tsunami-like offensive of the Ning Navy came to an abrupt end, and Haoge, who had escaped from Sanhe for nearly twenty miles, received the news, which was a little incredulous, but repeatedly confirmed that the camp was still there, and Haoge and Zierharang surrendered, and all the officers and men of the Qing army breathed a sigh of relief.

When Hauge returned to the camp, he found that although these Ning naval cavalry were strong in combat, their strength was not as strong as they imagined, and they were helpless in the face of their concrete defense, without infantry and artillery cooperation, even if all these three or four thousand light cavalry were killed in front of their camp, they would not want to shake them in the slightest.

As long as you hold out until dawn, everything will be easy to do, as soon as the day dawns, the enemy situation is clear, whether it is a retreat or a counteroffensive, you can calmly deploy, as long as you can hold out until dawn!

The sky is bright, and a straight dawn shines on the ancient city walls of Beijing, which has experienced thousands of years of wind and sorrow, and this ancient city is gradually waking up from its slumber.

The war that happened on the other side of Sanhe seems to be related to the city of Beijing, after everyone wakes up, eat some breakfast if they have the conditions, and go hungry without this condition, cheer up their spirits, and start a new day's busy work.

The peddlers and pawns are busy for two meals a day, the merchants and hawkers are chasing the small profits, the prostitutes in the Qinglou are soliciting customers everywhere, and the dignitaries and dignitaries are shooting horses and drilling camps, each with its own way of living, each with its own wonderful and bitter.

After a few days of chaos, order has been restored to the city of Beijing, and after Huang Taiji killed a group of lawless guys, no one dares to rob and kill people everywhere as he did when he first entered the city.

After that, Huang Taiji asked the old ministers of the Ming Dynasty to pay a large amount of silver money and grain and rice as a vote, and then took out part of it to help the hungry people in the capital.

And as the Ning Navy and the Qing army fought inextricably in Sanhe, but the good news came one after another, more and more people's hearts were lively, and the Qing Dynasty's Son of Heaven was eloquent and strategic, with a large number of capable ministers, and hundreds of thousands of tigers and wolves.

Maybe going to him is really a way out?

In this world, the most important thing is to live and stand out, what is loyal and patriotic? Nonsense, the loyal and patriotic people all died on the battlefield in Liaodong!

Huang Taiji is indeed the most terrible enemy of the Ming Dynasty, if he is given enough time, he will definitely be able to fully integrate the resources left by the Ming Dynasty, and even the resources that the Ming Dynasty failed to use, to establish a powerful empire, it may be a little difficult to unify China, but it is not difficult to dominate East Asia, look at North Korea, and Japan, but unfortunately, this lifelong enemy of the Ming Dynasty also has a terrible opponent, and when he is not stable, this terrible opponent has shown its sharp fangs.

As soon as the gate of Dongzhimen opened, the Chuanqi rode into the sunshine, knocked down several people along the way and did not look back, regardless of the rush to the city, everywhere they complained, and the officers and soldiers who were frightened or splashed with muddy water all scolded: "There are lowly people with eyes and no beads, hurry to reincarnate?" Wait for the next horse to stumble and fall to your death! ”

just cared about scolding happily, but no one thought that the reason why this legend ran so quickly was because the beacon tower in Dong'an County, less than two hundred miles away, had already lit a beacon fire, and a pillar of smoke went straight to the sky!

The 7th and 9th Brigades of the Ning Navy, which had not moved for a long time, under the command of Chen Dayong, slaughtered to the north with a thunderous momentum, blocking the thirteen lines of defense in front of the Ning Navy, and only held out for one morning, and then the whole line collapsed.

In the Golden Hall of the Forbidden City, hundreds of officials knelt on the ground, there were hundreds of people, and the Han Wenchen and the elites of the Donglin Party who had been snare by the Jianzhou Group for decades were basically here.

Huang Taiji sat on the dragon chair in a dragon robe, high up, asking about the world's major events. He has lost more weight, if Mang Gurtai is still there, he will definitely not dare to call him fat again, he has lost weight several times, okay!

There is no way, there are too many things to worry about, on the surface, the Qing Dynasty is victorious, and countless civil and military talents are all owned by the Qing Dynasty, the situation is very good, not a small good, but a big good!

However, Huang Taiji, Fan Wencheng and others knew very well that the current situation in the Qing Dynasty was far from being as optimistic as it seemed, and the Ning Navy was accumulating strength and could go north at any time, and they had not been able to capture the fleeing Empress Zhou and the princes for a long time.

The most fatal thing is that there has been no news from Dolgon, and the plan to destroy the Daimyo Road is progressing slowly through the Jingcheng Pass in Shanxi, but there are more and more Ning Navy's troops gathered on the front line of Sanhe and Dong'an, in short, it is a headache!

Huang Taiji is walking on thin ice, walking carefully at every step, for fear that one wrong step will be doomed, this emperor is really not easy.

However, hard work is hard work, he still enjoys this feeling of being high and the fate of hundreds of millions of people in his hands, and being an emperor is not exactly what he is pursuing!

"Meet the emperor, long live the emperor, long live long live!"

"Everyone, love Qing Ping!"

Huang Taiji was originally a routine official business, but his eyelids jumped, which made him uneasy, especially when he saw Fan Wencheng's anxious face, his hands began to tremble.
