Chapter 106: You Have Cannons, I Have Divine Skills (6)
At present, the military strength of the Manchu Qing Dynasty totaled about 120,000.
Originally, the distribution of power was like this. Huang Taiji and Haoge had a total of 117 Niu Lu troops, becoming the largest force in the Eight Banners, while the Dorgon brothers had 98 Niu Lu troops, followed by the second most powerful one, Dai Shan and Ji Erharang controlled 96 Niu Lu forces. But as soon as Zilharan died, the thirty cattle under his control were not badly damaged, which was a large piece of fat, and Dolgon had been slandered for a long time.
But unfortunately, the current Huang Taiji is too strong.
Of these thirty Niu Lu, twenty-five Niu Lu were taken away by Huang Taiji, and only five Niu Lu were left and distributed to Dolgon, which made Dolgon also very annoyed and felt extremely unhappy.
He's been on fire lately.
And this time, he was ordered by Huang Taiji to attack the west wall of Songshan City, and he called the gunners at the beginning, and increased his firepower to bombard, and he wanted to collapse the west city wall. And he has fought with these Ming troops many times, and he also estimated that in such a situation, the Ming army is only afraid that it will come out to fight.
And the flat field battle, hehe, it's not that he looks down on these Ming troops, and he will send as many as he comes.
Dolgon was thinking about killing these Ming troops, but suddenly, in front of a squatting cannon, two archers who were operating were suddenly shot and killed.
Shockingly, it was a pitch-black arrow twice as long as an ordinary arrow, passing through them.
On the pitch-black long arrow, there seems to be a tiger and a tiger murderous aura!
It's terrifying!
"What's going on?" Dolgon stood up directly, and he looked in the direction where the arrow was fired: "Hey, isn't this direction the direction of Matsuyama Castle? Whoever could shoot an arrow at such a distance must have made a mistake somewhere. ”
When he was hesitant, he saw another sharp arrow, which passed directly through the void and directly pierced the two gunners next to another cannon.
It's still pitch black, with pitch black arrows twice as long as normal arrows.
This seems to be the sharp arrow of death.
Shuttle!
Two gunners next to another cannon died under the pitch-black arrows.
Death is already knocking on the door!
"This arrow was indeed fired from the direction of Matsuyama Castle. But Matsuyama Castle is too far away from us, a full six hundred paces. How could it be possible to shoot arrows from such a distance? Could it be that the Ming army had discovered some new weapons. No, we have so many spies in the Ming army, as well as those Jin merchants, who can pass on news to us at any time. If the Ming army really invented a novel weapon that could shoot at a distance of 600 paces, I would have known about it a long time ago. Dorgon was puzzled.
But at this moment, in his mind, a sudden flash of inspiration came to mind, and he thought of something.
Not long ago, two small cavalry under his command were hunted and killed by a person, according to the escaped subordinates, that person was carrying six swords and two bows, and there was only one person who met such a standard, and that was - He Xuan, who was named the first god general in the world by Chongzhen, hunted Ji'er Harang alone, and defeated He Xuan, who had defeated tens of thousands of Qing troops!
"He Xuan, although he has not been in contact with him, is really a bit evil. If anyone can do this kind of thing, it is estimated that it can only be him. Dolgon guessed, but Rao was still surprised: "But how can there be someone who can hunt and kill gunners six hundred paces away, this is beyond the limits of human beings." It was much more incredible than hunting down the unlucky guy of Zilharang more than a hundred paces away. ”
While Dorgon was pondering, the long black arrow, like the arrow of death, came at two more and killed two gunners.
"Damn, looking at this momentum, nine times out of ten it is He Xuan, this guy is too terrifying, six hundred steps away, he can shoot the gunner. Dolgon thought of this, but cold sweat couldn't help but appear on his forehead, he was also standing six hundred steps away from Songshan City, if He Xuan recognized him, he was afraid that an arrow would shoot at him immediately.
He also had to rejoice at this time, before Huang Taiji asked everyone to wear exactly the same clothes, he also said that Huang Taiji was too fussy and looked down on He Xuan too highly. If it weren't for Huang Taiji's move, I would only be afraid of it now...... It's dead.
"Come, come, come more guards, stand in front of me. Dorgon immediately shouted, fearing that he would be shot to death.
Waiting for more than a dozen people standing in front of him, there were five or six people in either direction, and he breathed a sigh of relief, with so many walls of flesh, no matter how against the sky, He Xuan couldn't shoot himself again.
Dolgon looked at it, the pitch-black sharp arrow was shot, in a moment, his own gunners have been damaged more than ten, gunners are not easy to cultivate, after a long period of study, he can't help but feel a heartache for a while: "Come people, all learn to protect me, pile up a wall of flesh in front of the gunner, that pitch-black long arrow, can shoot through two people, can also shoot through five or six people? ”
Obviously, in his opinion, the gunner was more expensive than the average soldier.
Not to mention the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty.
After Huang Taiji ascended the throne, on the one hand, he actively engaged in an expansionist policy, and on the other hand, he still paid attention to alleviating ethnic and social contradictions, and he ordered his subordinates to do a good job of "raising people", especially to settle the newly plundered or surrendered Mongols and Han Chinese. The number of Mongol and Han Chinese officers and soldiers attached to Huang Taiji increased day by day, so that the Eight Banners could not accommodate it, so Huang Taiji established the Eight Banners Mongolia (25,000 men) in the ninth year of Tiancong (1635) on the basis of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, and then established the Eight Banners Han Army (33,000 men) in the seventh year of Chongde (1642). Add the original Manchurian flag, and the Manchurian, Mongolian, and Han eight flags. As a result, the Eight Banners system has been perfected and the armed forces have been continuously expanded.
And this Han Eight Banners was usually disregarded and inferior in the interior of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
Dolgon is not as majestic as Huang Taiji, he originally despised the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, and he dared to snatch the wife of a Han minister like Fan Wencheng to play, let alone an ordinary Han person. Now you need a meat shield, of course, on the Han Eight Banners.
Those Han people in the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty naturally don't want to go up.
However, they also knew that Dolgon had always been brutal, and if he didn't do it, he would have to be killed alive, so they had no choice but to stand in front of these gunners and serve as a meat shield.
The gunner saw that there was a meat shield in front of him, so he relieved himself and continued to fire cannons, bombarding the walls of Matsuyama Castle.
......
He Xuan's eyes have been staring at the artillery position.
Shoot the gunners coldly.
Suddenly, I saw some guards in front of me rushing to a certain place, blocking a human wall that was five or six stories thick.
At this moment, He Xuan already understood that there should be a Manchu big man there, and it was a pity that he missed the opportunity to hunt down this Manchu big man.
Then, I found that in front of the gunners, there were five or six people in the block.
"Huh?"
