Beijing City, Chaoyang Gate.

Because the last time Huang Taiji entered Beijing City, because the Red Lady set up an ambush here, the Qing army was disgraced. Therefore, in a fit of rage, they demolished all the residential houses within five miles of Chaoyangmen.

Nowadays, it is flat outside the Chaoyang Gate.

In this way, it is also convenient for the artillery of the Ning Navy to build artillery positions, with Cheng Shijie figured it out, Beijing City is not what he wants to keep can keep, it is a big deal to break it and rebuild, now different from later generations, Daming also has a large number of craftsmen, can be completely restored out of a brand new Beijing City.

In this way, Cheng Shijie ordered the shelling of Beijing.

Yuan Shiliang asked: "Dashuai, use rocket artillery or rear-loading rifled artillery first?" ”

Cheng Shijie didn't think about it: "Use rocket artillery first, the shells of this thing are cheap!" ”

"Got it!"

Yuan Shiliang turned his head and ordered: "The rocket artillery aims at Chaoyangmen and destroys their fortifications!" ”

As Yuan Shiliang's voice came from the walkie-talkie, the firing devices of each rocket artillery group were immediately adjusted up and down, aiming at the fortifications of Chaoyangmen. The shells have already been loaded, just waiting to be fired!

At this time, a large cloud of gunpowder smoke suddenly rose from the Chaoyangmen Fort, and the lead ball broke through the air, hitting a shell that rolled into the firing position of the Ninghai rocket artillery, and four solid shells, three of which missed, caused two Ninghai Navy soldiers to be killed on the spot, and a rocket launcher was smashed into a state of parts before it could be launched.

However, the Ning Navy soldiers ignored their own casualties, and the power of the Hongyi cannon was really good! It's a pity that if the Ning Navy's military formation is in chaos, they can continue to inflict casualties on the Ning Navy, but it's a pity that the rocket artillery didn't give them a chance.

"Launch!"

"Woo Woo Woo ......"

A dense and sharp whistling sound rose from the ground, a scorching wave of air erupted from the rocket launcher tube, white gunpowder smoke rolled like a wall, and a series of fire dragons shot out of the launch tube, the trajectory was staggered, and in an instant, it converged into a terrible fire net, screaming sharply, and swept towards Chaoyangmen!

The soldiers and generals of the Qing army who were waiting for the battle all raised their heads in shock, and looked at the fierce fire curtain with pale faces: "It's this set again." ”

Guessed right, but there was no prize.

The next moment, the curtain of fire fell, and the explosion point bloomed like a kaleidoscope, expanding into a large ball of fireball, spreading at an alarming speed, and the thunderous explosion made the sky rumble, making the earth shake violently, and many Qing soldiers only felt that their legs were weak, and they sat on the ground with their butts!

In their stunned gaze, Chaoyang Gate turned into a boiling crater, from which a terrifying flame erupted, Yang Chaomen was once again blown into pieces, the biggest feature of rocket artillery is that the accuracy is not high, obviously aimed at the Chaoyang Gate City Gate, as a result, more than a third of the rocket shells flew directly through Chaoyang Gate and entered the inner city.

The houses and trees on the streets in the inner city were either cut into toothpicks by the flying shrapnel or turned into torches by the high temperature generated by the explosion, and the fire burned fiercely in the canopy, and the rockets and artillery shells were like a meteor shower, burning wherever they fell, and the entire three miles near Chaoyangmen was a sea of fire.

No one knows how many people were blown to pieces in an instant, and those who were still alive screamed in horror in the fire, or who were running through the streets like headless flies with children on their backs, not even knowing what they were shouting.

Even if he had seen the rocket artillery of the Ning Navy, but seeing that only the first round of attacks had caused such heavy losses, Huang Taiji's face was extremely ugly.

Wen Tiren's forehead was full of cold sweat: "It's terrible, it's terrible......"

Fan Wencheng looked at Huang Taiji with difficulty: "Your Majesty ......"

"Attack!"

Huang Taiji now understands that with the artillery power of the Ning Navy, hiding in the difficult defense, it is definitely self-defeating, and only by going out of the city can there be a glimmer of life.

Of course, he did not go out of the city directly from Chaoyang Gate, but ordered to go out of the city from Yongding Gate.

"Knock knock ......"

The war drums rumbled, shaking the heavens and the earth, and tens of thousands of Qing troops poured out of the city, mighty and mighty, like a flood. The vanguard is the yellow flag led by Haoge himself, then the Guanning army led by Wu Xiang and Zu Dashou, then the yellow flag, the white flag, and finally the Mongolian four flags, the Han four flags, the armor is as bright as snow, the flag hunting, the momentum is compelling.

The people of the capital who witnessed this scene were secretly shocked in their hearts, they always thought that Jiannu was not good and was going to be finished, how could they have thought that they still had such a prosperous military might!

In the tsunami-like shouts of long live, Huang Taiji was dressed in golden armor, riding a high-headed horse, surrounded by thousands of white-armored soldiers wearing heavy armor, and slowly walked towards the city gate.

His golden armor was brilliantly gorgeous, and coupled with his burly body, he was really extraordinary.

The civil and military officials knelt on both sides of the avenue, their foreheads touched the ground, and they didn't dare to raise their heads, although they all had strange thoughts when they saw the Qing army retreating, but in front of Huang Taiji, they didn't dare to show the slightest bit, this fat man is not a vegetarian!

Huang Taiji's gaze swept over these Wenchen, his face was expressionless, he knew very well that these scholars were all unfamiliar dogs, and now they were still groveling in front of him, but once he was defeated, these guys would immediately turn into vicious dogs and tear him to pieces!

There is no way out for Huang Taiji, and there is no way out for the empire of the Qing Dynasty!

This is the last army that Huang Taiji has done his best, gone through hardships, and finally assembled, if he wins this battle, he may still have a chance to live, if he loses, everything is over.

It took a lot of effort to gather 77,000 people, and he only left 7,000 people to guard Beijing, and the main force was dispatched, leaving no reserves at all!

In fact, it is useless to keep the reserves, Dong'an and Fengtai have fought fiercely again and again, and the troops who did not rush to Beijing to participate in this vicious battle are desperately blocking the Ming army that is surrounded from all directions, and his strength will not necessarily be able to change the situation of smoke and fire on all sides, so he will simply make a desperate bet and fight to the death with Cheng Shijie!

As long as he wins the battle against Cheng Shijie, he can hit the morale of the Ming army hard, and he can turn the situation around; If you lose...... He doesn't have to worry about how to turn things around.

Fan Wencheng knelt at the gate of the city to block the way, and the old tears were full of tears, shouting: "Your Majesty, you are the king of a country, how can you go into battle in person!" I implore the emperor to return to the car, and never go to the battlefield to take risks! ”

Huang Taiji smiled: "Fan Aiqing doesn't need to persuade again, I have already made a decision, and I will not change it again!" During this period, all matters will be handled by Aiqing, please! ”

Fan Wencheng cried out: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, it has been the duty of a military general to kill generals and capture the flag, how can there be a reason for the Son of Heaven to go into battle in person!" I implore the emperor to return to the car, and leave the battle matters to the princes, and never go to the battlefield to take risks! ”

Fan Wencheng was so excited, if it weren't for so many people watching, I'm afraid he would really cry. This is not pretending, for him, Huang Taiji father and son are his biggest backers, and they are the guarantee of his life, if Huang Taiji dies on the battlefield, Cheng Shijie enters Beijing with the aftermath of a big victory, he will only be cut by a thousand knives!

So Fan Wencheng cried so sadly, half of it was because he really didn't want Huang Taiji to go to the battlefield to take risks, and the other half was out of fear and despair for the future.

Huang Taiji smiled slightly bitterly. He hadn't fought Ning Haijun once or twice, so he didn't know how dangerous the battlefield where Ning Haijun appeared? Not to mention the rocket artillery and breech-loading rifled guns that killed and injured a large number of people in one shot, the musket alone was enough to kill.

During the Chaoyangmen raid, he saw with his own eyes that a bullet came from seven or eight hundred meters away, hitting a person next to him who was assigned to Pashku, and on the spot he was beaten into seventeen or eighteen pieces in the head!

Ning Haijun recognized him, but Ning Haijun's bullets and shells didn't recognize him, and if he hit him, he would die! But he had no choice, now that the Qing army had lost a series of battles and had low morale, in order to boost morale, he could only go into battle in person!

This powerful man with excellent skills gently comforted Fan Wencheng, and said a few words of advice to Wen Tiren and others, and then rode out of Yongding Gate.

I don't know what's going on, the moment Huang Taiji walked out of the city gate, his mood fluttered, the depression and anger that had accumulated for a long time in his chest actually dissipated, and the hesitation about the future, the fear of the Ming army's pressure on the territory, was also blown away by the wind blowing from the wilderness, and the long-lost pride and ambition came to his heart.

Now the emperor has no other thoughts, just thinking about competing with Cheng Shijie, who almost killed him a few years ago.

The Qing army seemed to be able to feel that the master's state had returned, and they were greatly excited, and the cheers of "Long live" shook the heavens and the earth. In this frenzied cheer, tens of thousands of Qing troops stretched for more than ten miles, mighty, like a huge iron arrow, swept away against the right flank of Cheng Shijie's attack.

"Tell the marshal, the Qing army has dispatched from Yongding Gate!"

"Finally willing to come out of the turtle shell?"

Cheng Shijie rubbed his hands and said, "How many people did they come out?" ”

"Seventy or eighty thousand?"

"Huang Taiji doesn't want to think about it?"

"Does he have a choice?"

Zhou Ning said with a smile.

"That's just as well!"

At this time, the vanguard of the huge force of the Qing army had already sparked with the vanguard of the Ning Navy.

Seeing that more and more Qing troops were pouring over, more than a dozen rocket artillery pieces of the Ning Navy came in a hurry, and the combat effectiveness of the Qing army was really not blown, and they actually had the upper hand in the face of the Ning Navy cavalry reconnaissance troops.

Seeing that more than 300 Ning Haijun were about to be swallowed up by these Qing army's forward troops, at this moment, more than a dozen rocket launchers fired eighty or ninety rockets.

These eighty or ninety rocket shells were so amazing that they all landed in the formation of the vanguard of the Qing army, and the shock wave of the explosion blew them into the air like rags.

With this round of rocket artillery bombardment, the Qing army, which originally had the absolute upper hand in the outpost battle, instantly leaked like a note.

As the troops of the Ning Navy and the Qing Army were pouring in, the two sides faced each other ten miles apart. The Qing army was afraid of the heavy artillery in the hands of the Ming army, ten miles, the Ming army was afraid of the lightning assault of the powerful cavalry group in the hands of the Qing army, ten miles, this is a distance that both sides can barely accept, and if it is closer, it is likely to be released in advance at midnight adult files, and everyone can stab whoever they want.

In the earth-shaking cry of victory, Cheng Shijie went to the front line battlefield surrounded by corpses surrounded by his own soldiers.

Ordinary infantry dug into horse pits. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the number of cavalry of the Qing army is more than five times that of the cavalry of the Ning Navy, and they will inevitably be attacked head-on by the iron cavalry of the Qing army, so it is better to prepare early.

Each department is in order, busy and orderly. Originally, these jobs should be done by the people, but Ning Haijun's habit is to do the fortifications by himself, the Ning Navy soldiers are busy working, a puff of smoke and dust rises in the distance, and a Qing army messenger gallops over, Ning Haijun looked up, ignored it, and continued to bow his head and dig a horse pit.

The messenger came quickly, came to the front of the battle in the blink of an eye, stopped a hundred meters away, and shouted: "I am the messenger of His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Qing Dynasty, and I have come to convey the will of my emperor, and I invite the regent of the Ming Prison to come out and see him!" ”

Ning Haijun was stunned for a moment, they all stopped what they were doing, and looked at the messenger, and the same thought flashed through everyone's minds: "What tricks does this thing want to play?" ”

Cheng Shijie rode out of the crowd on a tall horse and said, "I am Cheng Shijie!" ”

The messenger threw his hand on horseback and said, "Regent, long time coming!" ”

Cheng Shijie said: "Don't talk nonsense, what did your master send you for?" ”

The messenger didn't talk nonsense, and got straight to the point: "My emperor wants the regent to gather in the past, just five miles away, in the long pavilion on the side of the road." ”

Cheng Shijie frowned: "Huang Taiji wants to see me?" What tricks does he want to play? ”

The messenger said, "Don't get me wrong, Lord Regent, my emperor has no other intentions than to see you as an adversary." My emperor said that as early as after the Battle of Baliwan, he had always wanted to meet with the regent and talk freely, and now that the decisive battle was imminent, he was afraid that it was the last chance, and he didn't want to leave regrets. ”

Before Cheng Shijie could speak, Zhou Ning shouted out first: "Handsome, don't do it!" Jiannu is scheming, don't fall for him! ”

The messenger was unmoved, just sneered and looked at Cheng Shijie with a hint of contempt.

Cheng Shijie is not worried about Huang Taiji's tricks, because Ning Haijun has absolute control of the battlefield within a range of five miles, even a three-inch rifled gun can fight five miles away, not to mention, there are a large number of rocket artillery and riflemen behind him.

Cheng Shijie: "Ben Shuai also wants to talk to your master, lead the way." ”

Zhang Yu, Wu Sheng, Zhou Ning and others were shocked and shouted in unison: "Dashuai! ”

Cheng Shijie smiled lightly: "It's okay, I'll go talk to him and come back, Hou Shi, let's go!" ”

Cheng Shijie only brought a few dozen relatives and followed the messenger towards the long pavilion a few miles away.

Looking at Cheng Shijie's back, Zhou Ning said: "Yuan Shiliang! ”

"The last general!"

Zhou Ning roared angrily: "Aim at the Changting Pavilion for Lao Tzu, and if Jiannu dares to play tricks, he will shoot at me!" If he wants to plot against the handsome again, you will blow him up to ashes! (End of chapter)
