Chapter 125: The Battle of Xin'anbao


Mang Gurtai was a little panicked now.

As his eighth brother, he always liked to read Han Chinese books, but everyone recognized his cleverness.

Since he thought that the current situation in Daikin was not good, it was quite possible.

However, Mang Gurtai then thought about it.

When his father Khan rebelled against the Ming Dynasty, the situation was not as good as it is now.

So he smiled and said: "Did the eighth brother think too much of the Ming Dynasty emperor?

Maybe he was afraid, that's why he hid in Shanhaiguan.

Father Khan raised the army with thirteen pieces of armor and experienced so many difficulties.

It was different."

The Ming army was beaten to a pulp.

With our current strength of more than 30,000 troops, how can we not capture the small Xin'an Fort?"

Huang Taiji understood that what he said was in vain.

He shook his head, but in his heart he was thinking about how to defeat Xin'an Fort with minimal damage.

However, the weapons of the Ming army he encountered on Juehua Island made him know that no matter what, a large number of armored soldiers would have to be killed or injured to win Xin'an Fort.

On February 12, Houjin began to attack Xin'anbao.

Nurhaci sent someone to persuade him to surrender.

A messenger rode on horseback and waved a staff to show that he had no weapons.

When he reached a hundred steps from the city wall, he stopped and shouted: "I am a big gold."

He fell off his horse and died.

Xue Boling looked at the rifled gun in his hand and smiled with satisfaction: "It's really good, it's far and accurate."

After that, he put another long bullet into the barrel of the gun with a purge.

Another envoy came on horseback.

This time he learned the lesson and stopped a hundred and fifty paces away.

He shouted loudly: "The two countries are at war.

If you don't kill the envoy, don't you call yourself a country of etiquette?"

Xue Boling aimed another shot and knocked him off his horse.

He also shouted: "You are just rebels.

Talking about two countries is really making yourself proud."

Lu Qin smiled and said: "Brigadier Xue is truly worthy of the name of a marksman.

The first brigade's contribution in this battle is his."

Xue Boling said: "This is the credit of the rifled firecrackers.

This credit should be recorded on the Weapons Bureau.

Unfortunately, our number is too small.

If we all have these rifled firecrackers, Jiannu will not be able to get close to the city wall."

Lu Qin nodded: "That's true, but next time we will have enough rifled muskets.

Once the Guards are equipped with such muskets, establishing slaves will not be a worry."

Xue Boling smiled and said: "Yes, the Guards have doubled and are equipped with such weapons.

Not only the slaves, there is no rival in the world."

Lu Qin laughed loudly: "Don't worry if you don't have any opponents.

The Holy Father said that there are still large areas in the world waiting for us to conquer.

From Beihai in the north to Batavia in the south, there are many more that we have never heard of.

All new places will become the territory of our Ming Dynasty, and we will need our Guards to occupy them."

At this time, the Hou Jin soldiers began to attack directly.

In front were the Han soldiers who were serving as cannon fodder.

Lu Qin said harshly: "Anyone who accuses me of being a Chinese can be punished.

I will treat him like a slave and beat him to death."

The artillery's artillery began to roar, and the Han army wanted to retreat after being hit.

Several of them were killed by the supervising team behind them, and they had to continue to move forward cautiously.

Xue Boling led five hundred rifled gunmen to lie on the city wall and kept shooting.

Not only the Han army in front, but also the supervising team behind could sometimes hit them.

Xue Boling smiled and said: "This is the best opportunity to improve your shooting skills.

The target will not move on weekdays.

There are no enemies here.

Guys, work hard.

Each one of you will become a marksman and join the Guards."

The marksman camp inside.”

Rifled muskets have the advantages of long range, high shooting accuracy, and fast reloading speed.

A well-trained soldier can fire four to five rounds in a minute.

Therefore, under the double blow of artillery shells and bullets, at least one-third of the Han army fell on the charging road.

The Han army had a supervising team behind them and artillery shells and bullets in front.

They could only move passively and slowly, hoping that neither the front nor the back would harm themselves.

Some Han soldiers in front shouted: "The Han people should not fight the Han people, we are willing to surrender."

Xue Boling smiled coldly: "You are talking as if you have never beaten Han people.

You alone are worthy of calling yourself Han people and beat them hard to death.

These are the dogs who have no regard for their ancestors."

In order to create a nation-state, Zhu Youxiao first carried out nationalist education in the army and instilled in the soldiers the best theories of the Han people to enhance their national pride and self-esteem.

However, the Han civilization is indeed the most advanced civilization in this era, and it is not an exaggeration.

The Han army's cannon fodder was almost used up very quickly.

The Hou Jinjia soldiers who were mixed with the Han army and prepared to rush up the city wall in the chaos were also massacred mercilessly.

Yes, it was massacre.

Up to now, the two armies were still close to each other.

A hundred steps away, nearly a thousand people of the Hou Jin Dynasty had been killed or injured, while the Ming army had no casualties.

At this time, the Hou Jinjia soldiers hid under the cowhide siege vehicle and approached the front wall.

This kind of siege vehicle was made of wood and covered with rawhide.

It was very effective against bows and arrows, but it had little effect on artillery shells.

The shells fell on the siege vehicle, scattering the vehicle and taking away a few lives.

The remaining Jinjia soldiers were exposed to the guns of the Guards, and the bullets rushed towards them, screaming in agony.

Lives are harvested in the sound.

Behind the siege vehicle are the archers of Houjin.

Their heavy arrows are ineffective against the ordinary firecrackers on the city wall because there is no way to break the defense.

However, they pose a certain threat to the rifled firecrackers without armor. .

Xue Boling assigned two shield soldiers to each rifled gunman to protect them on both sides.

There is no way around this.

If there are more rifled gunmen, there is no need for such protection, because the range of bows and arrows is far inferior to that of rifled guns anyway.

Later, Jin soldiers had more and more siege vehicles, and archers also poured out in large numbers, with great momentum to seize the city in one fell swoop.

Lu Qin was not in a hurry and ordered the soldiers to shoot in an orderly manner.

With the firepower of the Ming army, it would be very difficult for the Hou Jin soldiers to attack the city wall.

Under the attack of superior weapons, it is difficult for the side with backward weapons to win.

Just like the later battle between the British Rifles and the Manchu Cavalry, it is an obvious example.

The battle has been going on for about an hour now, and the number of casualties among Hou Jin soldiers has exceeded 2,000, while only about 30 Ming soldiers were injured by bows and arrows.

In this case, the only way for the Hou Jin Army to break the city is to send out almost everyone to attack at the same time.

In this way, some people may climb up the city wall, but too high a density will make artillery and firecrackers hit.

The rate and damage capability were greatly improved.

Even if Houjin captured Xin'an Fort, the price paid was one that Nurhaci was not willing to face
