Chapter 301 The battle in Zunhua City continued, and the casualties of the entire family army began to increase.This is mainly due to the fact that at the beginning of the battle, the Houjin army was in the wrong place and chose the wrong battle.If they start a cavalry battle with the whole family army in the wilderness of the plains, plus five or six thousand Mongolian servant troops, more than 1,000 Houjin cavalry, plus two thousand Han troops, this is nearly 10,000 troops, although most of them are second-line troops, they can cause a lot of trouble to the whole family army.The power of artillery in this era is actually limited, even if 10,000 people stand still and let the artillery of the whole family army bombard endlessly, it will require at least hundreds of thousands of cannons, and it may not be able to kill nearly 10,000 horses.However, Fan Cheng was afraid of the artillery of the whole family army, and he put all his men and horses in Zunhua City, and the Houjin army was not good at attacking the city, and it was also not good at defending the city.In particular, after 1,200 kilograms of granular black powder were detonated together, a ruin more than 30 zhang wide was formed, and four or five hundred people were buried in the ruins, but in the same way, more than 1,000 people were blown out of their bodies.These frightened Houjin defenders were effortlessly killed by the soldiers of the whole family, and thousands of people died instantly, and this scene was as spectacular as a flood bursting its banks.The morale of the whole family army and soldiers in the back was even higher, while the Mongol servant army and the Han army, including the Jurchens, could not react at all.The young men of the whole family army, with a bloody bravery, after pushing sideways, found that the enemy was not strong, and at this time, even the most cowardly people would become extremely brave.Generally speaking, people who have been in the field for a long time will get used to a saying.On the battlefield, an ordinary army will collapse if it loses one achievement, those who can withstand two percent of the damage are already elite soldiers, and those who can withstand more than three percent of the losses without collapsing are strong armies that can dominate the world.But such a statement actually has its scope of application.The difference between one, two, and three percent damage mainly refers to the losses that an army can bear in a certain period of time in a battle.An ordinary army that has lost 10% of its losses can still continue to fight after it has been gathered, but such a ratio does not apply in the whole battle in a row.In front of him, Ma Yinghu, Jiang Baisheng, and Chen Yongshun respectively took the whole family of soldiers as the lead, followed by 30,000 or 40,000 young men who were confused by anger, but they could not apply such a measurement method.The battlefield is a very large melting pot, a soldier who is afraid of the enemy can make dozens or hundreds of people afraid of the enemy, and similarly, a warrior can lead dozens or hundreds of people to charge.Slowly pushed the front to more than two-thirds of the area of Zunhua City, at this time, the surviving Houjin army was less than three hundred, and the Mongolian servant army and the Han army combined, did not exceed three thousand, it can be said that the Houjin army in Zunhua City lost two-thirds of the dead.The Houjin army discovered an extremely sad fact, even if they raised their weapons and surrendered, those angry soldiers of the whole family would still use their blades to dissect their corpses.In desperation, whether these Mongols or Jurchens, even if they were Han soldiers, they also had no choice but to fight hard.It was the whole family army that forced Houjin's army in Zunhua City into a resentful army, a mourning soldier, and they were fighting the trapped beasts.The courage of the whole family soldier at the first moment will make people temporarily forget their fear and launch a charge desperately.But of course, there is a limit to such courage, and if something is slapped down at the peak of courage, or if the charging soldier suddenly reacts, the seemingly infinite courage will also fall to the bottom.The war has become a stalemate.The young and strong people of the whole family were a little restrained, and Quan Xu, who was originally going to take a Turkish plane for Li Sizhong, was also very unfortunate."
Liu Quan!""
The last general!""
Take your Flying Thunder Cannon and press it down!""
Yes!"
Compared to long-range attack field artillery, it is not powerful enough in street fighting, after all, solid shells are too limited, while those flying thunder cannons can maximize their power.Even if you hide in a cellar, the shock wave from the explosion of an explosive pack can knock a person to death.Eight temporarily modified Flying Thunder Cannons were sent to the city of Zunhua City, and at this time, those stubborn Houjin troops felt as if they were dreaming.It's not that they haven't seen artillery, but whether it is the ordinary artillery of the Ming army or the field artillery of the whole army, the caliber of the barrel is within their understanding, but the barrel of the flying thunder cannon is an oil drum, which is a standard 200-liter oil drum, with a height of 900 millimeters and a diameter of 580 millimeters.Looking at the barrel of the black hole, those Houjin soldiers were directly frightened.The Flying Thunder Cannon is actually a cannon, with a seat plate, a gun carriage, and a cannon barrel, but don't look at the barrel thick enough, but the weight is actually lighter than the 105 field cannon, only less than 30 kilograms.A person can carry it on his back.A group of artillerymen began to arrange the artillery positions, first adjusting the firing range, then fixing the artillery, and the loader put the gunpowder bag wrapped in silk like a flatbread in the barrel of the gun, and then the second took out a bag of gunpowder weighing about 20 pounds, wrapped in linen cloth, and tightly tied up, and then stuffed it into the barrel, and then, everyone flew up and down with two feet, like frightened rabbits, and rushed towards the military formation.All the soldiers of the whole family army squatted down very tacitly, plugged their ears, and their movements were uniform, and they didn't know if they had done it thousands of times or tens of thousands of times.Those whole family soldiers were inexplicably young and wonderful, and they were still standing there in a daze.A veteran stepped forward and kicked: "You fucking looking for death, open your mouth, cover your ears, and squat!"
”The Houjin soldiers were in a daze, and they were still wondering, "How did this thing come to be!?"
Can it be launched?
”"Boom" Clusters of terrifying gunpowder smoke wrapped in flames rushed up more than ten feet high, and a thunderous and violent loud bang shook the pores of everyone present to tear open, and the explosion swept everything.The Houjin white-armored soldiers bore the brunt of the blow, and the wind hit them head-on, blowing their feet off the ground and flying straight backwards, and the Houjin troops in the courtyard and the house were even more miserable, the dazzling fire flashed, the ground trembled violently, and those houses were like being shaken unscrupulously by an invisible big hand, with a crackling sound.When the smoke cleared, it was all over.In front of the Flying Thunder Cannon, there is nothing to stop it, let alone a wooden or mud house, even if it is a fortress made of reinforced concrete, it will be directly shocked to death.As the flying thunder cannon continued to advance, the resistance of Zunhua City gradually disappeared.In the direction of the eastern city of Zunhua City, it has become a complete slaughterhouse, and the ground is full of minced meat, the blackened and mutilated body, and the bloody wounded, as well as the soldiers with a section of intestines hanging on their bodies and trembling legs, all prove how terrifying this thunderous blow is.In fact, it was not only Jiannu who was frightened crazy, but also those young people who had newly joined the family army were also scared out of their bodies, and in the face of the artillery fire of the whole family army, no matter how brave they were, it was in vain."
Clean up the battlefield!"
Zunhua City because the battle started suddenly, the city was broken too quickly, the key is that when it was blasted, it basically destroyed the command system of Houjin at once, and Fan Cheng was affected by the shock wave of the explosion, although he did not die in the first place, but he was also covered with scars, and his life and death were uncertain.As for Amin, he was lucky, after he saw the city broken, he took dozens of guards and escaped from the south gate of Zunhua City with the seriously injured Fan Cheng.Just when Quan Xu was preparing to let Li Sizhong, a traitor, take a dirt plane outside Zunhua City, in the Houjin camp more than ten miles south of Zunhua City, Huang Taiji also sharpened his knife and prepared to deal with Amin.When Amin entered the big tent, Huang Taiji was facing away from Amin, and he couldn't see his face clearly.Amin was a little nervous, he knew very well that the old Eight Emperor Taiji was not a good thing, not only ruthless, but also black-hearted, since he succeeded to the throne, he had been using various wars to consume the strength of Mang Gurtai and Amin.Azig, Daishan, Yuetuo, and the eldest, including the old fourteenth Dolgon, who colluded with him, have been supported."
Amin!"
Huang Taiji turned around abruptly and shouted.Amin shuddered with fright: "The minion is here!"
”"You've done a good job!""
Minion" Amin was a little confused: "The slave is dull and doesn't know" is the so-called crime that wants to be added, what is the problem?
Huang Taiji wanted to cure Amin's sins, but basically Amin couldn't escape.The eight ministers of parliament are Liamin, Mang Gurtai, Daishan, Yuetuo, Dege, Zilharang, Azig, Doduo, and Dolgon.Of course, Yue Tuo died, and Azig was seriously injured, but it did not affect Huang Taiji's power.The three brothers Azig and Dolgon have always been the head of the old Eight Emperor Taiji, and the Daishan father and son even wore a pair of pants with the Emperor Taiji.Huang Taiji stared at Amin and shouted, "Amin, what a good errand you have done!"
”Amin suddenly panicked, and he stubbornly said: "Thanks to the Great Khan, the slave keeps his duty and does not dare to bear the praise of the Great Khan!"
”"Ben Khan forgot, when did you abandon Hongshankou City?"
Amin's face remained unchanged, and he scolded his mother in his heart.He had sixteen oxen in his hand, but they were transferred to Azig.He has no soldiers or generals in his hands, and Fan Cheng is also disobedient to him, not to mention, Quan Xu is too cruel.Hongshankou City, he didn't have time to rescue at all, and it fell.When Amin found out the truth of Quanxu, he didn't dare to fight, Li Sizhong and the three Niu Lu at least three or four thousand people died under Hongshankou City."
This is not a slave who is afraid of the enemy, but the Ming army is fierce" Amin is actually weak-minded, and his quibbles are a little weak.He had no choice but to ask for help from Mang Gurtai and Derge with his eyes, but Mang Gurtai closed his eyes and recuperated, as if he had nothing to do with him.Amin is desperate, it's not three years ago, Huang Taiji has already grasped the real power, in the face of the general trend, he can only bow his head: "The slave knows the crime, the slave knows the crime, please punish the Great Khan!"
”"What do you think Amin should be guilty of?"
