Chapter 108: Huang Taiji
After Dolgon collected his troops, he went directly to the emperor's tent.
Huang Taiji didn't look as mighty as Dolgon, he had a big cake face, his face was full of pockmarks, and his stature was on the short side. However, his eyes were quite deep. There was a sand table in front of him, and the sand table had the terrain near Jinzhou, Songshan and so on. Only by knowing the other can we win all battles.
Huang Taiji has practiced hundreds of times on the sand table, how to deal with the Ming army in Songshan City.
"I just wanted to ask you why you suddenly withdrew from the army. Seeing Dolgon come in, Huang Taiji looked a little bad and asked.
"Can't fight?" said Dolgon, unhappily, "The normal siege of the city is to take the red-coated cannon, blast through the city wall, and then rush up. What happened, the gunners on our side were shot by the arrows released by the Ming army. ”
"What?" was Huang Taiji, and he couldn't help but be surprised: "Your artillery array is usually located at a distance of six hundred steps from Songshan City." That's a full 600 paces. How can the Ming army shoot arrows?"
"But on the side of the Ming army, the arrows came over. I can't imagine either. First I shot our gunner, and then I sent a wall to block the gunner, but the archer was extraordinary, and when the gunner ignited the gunpowder and the shell was about to be fired, he shot an arrow with gunpowder directly, and it exploded in the chamber of the gun. A company blew up several cannons. This battle can't be fought. Dorgon said in a depressed voice.
Huang Taiji, as well as Fan Wencheng, the strategist beside Huang Taiji, and Ning and I, were all dumbfounded.
They have been fighting for so many years, but what Dorgon said is too ridiculous, it sounds too incredible.
"Are you saying that there are archers on the Ming side, who shoot people after six hundred paces, and can accurately shoot arrows with gunpowder into the barrel of the red-coated cannon at a critical moment?" asked Huang Taiji incredulously.
"yes, it's weird, this battle really can't be fought. Dolgon said depressedly, "However, listen to the news of your subordinates. It seems that He Xuan, the first god of the Ming Dynasty, came, yes, the one who shot Ji'er Harang. He didn't have any before he came. After he came, there were strange things, really evil. I suspect that's what he did. ”
"Do you doubt that it was He Xuan? Indeed, Da Ming should not have invented new equipment now, so there is only one possibility, all of this was done by He Xuan. This person is indeed a bit tricky. Huang Taiji put his hand behind him: "Originally, my plan was to use the advantage of firepower to collapse the walls of Songshan City. But now, He Xuan is alone, I am afraid that this plan will not work, and our firepower advantage will become a disadvantage. ”
"I'll have to think about him differently. The corners of Huang Taiji's lips couldn't help revealing a confident smile: "Gentlemen, no matter how strong He Xuan is, he is only a brave man." The courage of the horseman is suitable for the duel of rivers and lakes, but it cannot be won on the battlefield. My strength is not as good as He Xuan, but my wisdom is a hundred times that of his, and I can definitely play with him in the palm of my hand. Even if Da Ming has one more He God General, he is destined to be defeated by me. ”
When Huang Taiji speaks, he seems to have a special charm, which makes people involuntarily convincing.
Huang Taiji held his hands behind him, muttering repeatedly, faintly already having some ideas.
......
Matsuyama Castle.
The head of the western city wall.
The artillery on the Qing army's side has completely stopped.
Everyone in the Ming army fell into a carnival.
"Great, the artillery on the Qing army's side has stopped. ”
"These days, the Qing army, with its numerical superiority in red-coated artillery, blew up Lao Tzu's scalp. However, now what gods will be, their red-coated artillery will not play a role, but the red-coated cannons of our army can bomb with a mission. That's great. Yang Guozhu laughed: "If the battle of Songshan is won, He Xuan, you should be the first to take the lead." ”
"It's a big deal. Hong Chengchou also smiled: "Originally, I was still having a headache, how to deal with the artillery superiority of the Qing army." It's much easier to fight now. ”
"Shoot the enemy six hundred steps away, my brother's mastery is really amazing. Su Ding laughed: "It is estimated that the Tartars were directly stunned, I don't know what happened, and when they reacted, they were directly scared away." ”
The entire city wall entered a sea of joy.
Yes, not a single person died, and the enemy's offensive was dismantled, and the enemy's artillery was extinguished.
"He Shenjiang is too powerful. ”
"I've been a soldier all my life, and I've never seen anything like this. ”
"yes, I guess the Tartar was stunned. ”
"What god will be, this time in the battle of Songshan, we will win. ”
"We must win, we will win, we will win. ”
"Defeat the Tartars and recover Liaodong. ”
At first, this news was only spread nearby, but gradually, under the intentional spread of Hong Chengchou and Yang Guozhu, it spread rapidly in all directions. And more and more Ming troops heard the news.
In fact, at the beginning, even if they came to Songshan to fight the Qing army, the Ming army still had no self-confidence. The Ming army has been fighting against the Qing army over the years, and it has been defeated and defeated repeatedly, and after so many defeats over the years, it has gradually lost its self-confidence. And their commander Hong Chengchou, although he fought the peasant army, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others, could press these two people to the ground and rub them. But when he became the governor here, the battle against the Qing army was not very beautiful.
Not long ago, the news that He Xuan and He Shen would defeat tens of thousands of Qing troops with the power of one person and shoot Jierharang was shocked. But at that time, He Xuan was still far away and could not play a practical role.
And now, He Xuan and He Shen came to Songshan City, and after he came, he directly offered a big gift, which directly blew away the red-coated cannon of the Qing army, and directly made the Qing army dare not use the red-coated cannon, which is great news. At this moment, most of the Ming army is more confident of winning.
The general soldiers of the Ming army, such as Tang Tong, the chief soldier of Miyun, Wang Pu, the chief soldier of Datong, and others heard the news, and they couldn't help but be shocked: "In this way, doesn't it mean that when the Qing army wants to bombard me with red-clothed cannons, just ask He Xuan to come, but our side can use firepower to suppress it." He Shenjiang deserves to be the first god general in the world. ”
And now the embarrassment is Wu Sangui, the general soldier of Ningyuan, when He Xuan came, he had a conflict with He Xuan, and the two had a bad relationship. In case the Qing army bombarded the city wall where he was stationed with red-clothed cannons, should he be cheeky enough to invite He Xuan? Even if he did, would He Xuan really come? Wu Sangui suddenly felt very sad.
