Chapter 440 Yang Guanji saw that the battle did not develop as he imagined, and his courage gradually grew, he looked at Zheng Qianzong, who was sitting in the city gate tower, drinking broth and eating flatbread: "Why does Jiannu go back and forth is this trick, can't you change something else?"
”"This is the usual tactic of Jiannu, the two armies face each other, use the light cavalry to repeatedly attack and harass, consume our army's physical strength and sub-medicine arrows, and when our army's sub-medicine arrows are almost consumed, then charge the battle with heavily armored men and smash our army camp in one fell swoop!"
Zheng Qian took a big sip of broth and continued: "The same is true for siege, but their means of attacking the city are not high, as long as you officials let us eat enough, Jiannu will not be able to capture a city!"
”When Yang Guanji heard this, he was choked and couldn't speak for a long time.Yang Guanji lowered his head and instructed the master beside him: "Let people send some more broth, and kill two more sheep and a pig!"
”The master turned and left.Two sheep and a pig, for more than a thousand people, there is not much meat to eat.However, eating people with a soft mouth, Zheng Qian still bowed down and said, "Lord Xie Yang!"
”"By the way, Mr.
Zheng Qian, when will this battle be fought?""
It's hard to say!"
Zheng Qianhu soaked the cakes in the broth, and the dough cakes became softer, and he devoured them, and ate a bowl full of broth and pastries, and then wiped his mouth and said: "It depends on the mood of the commander of Jiannu." ”Yang Guanji sighed and muttered: "Those crossbowmen must be very hard......"
"I'm not afraid of hard work, I'm afraid of you officials!"
”Zheng Qian always looked at Yang Guanji: "It would be nice if you pit us a little less!"
”Yang Guanji finally knew why Zheng Qian couldn't be promoted, would he still chat?
That is, you are generous, otherwise you will have to die.Yang Guanji was actually wrong, the current Tianxiong Army is the same as the model of the whole family army, and civilian officials really can't fix them, their military salaries are directly sent from the bank to private accounts, and civilian officials have no possibility of handling them.Their promotion will not go through the hands of civilian officials, don't look at Yang Guanji and Lu Xiangsheng's personal relationship is good, but he can't mobilize a single soldier, and in wartime, he needs to accept the command of Zheng Qian.After Jiannu's repeated testing for nearly an hour, the strength of the defenders on the city wall was almost consumed, and the crossbow arrows that counterattacked were not as dense as before, nor as sharp as before.Huang Taiji immediately changed to another wave of men and horses, carrying the ladder and starting the attack again.At this time, Huang Taiji decided to take advantage of their large number of people, and connected the newly built ladders, with more than 400 of them, densely packed on Guangning City.Huang Taiji was doomed to be disappointed, and the Tianxiong Army no longer retained its strength, and the 105 field artillery, tiger squat artillery, and flying thunder cannon began to be fired one after another.With a burst of shelling, Jiannu threw down hundreds of mutilated corpses and retreated in disarray.Fortunately, there are not many defenders in Quang Ninh City, so they can't take the opportunity to pursue, otherwise, it will be a lot of fun.Tianxiong Army in the city wall of the thunder cannon is actually not much, because the flying thunder cannon will not blow up, but blow up the gunpowder cannon, this is because the oil drum is buried in the soil, the flying thunder cannon on the city wall, in fact, is also fixed on the city wall, in the use of cement casting a large cannon squat, so that unless the cement platform is shattered, it can be fired all the time.The Houjin army fled in fright, and this escape was enough to escape four or five miles, this distance is not easy to aim, so the Tianxiong army did not fire again, but fear still shrouded everyone's hearts, and many people looked directly at the city wall, for fear that there would be life-threatening fireworks again.As for Huang Taiji's Chinese army tent, it naturally moved farther back, more than ten miles away from the city wall of Guangning City, which had already exceeded the limit range of the 105 field artillery.But Huang Taiji still had palpitations, and his hands were still trembling for a long time.When he came to the big tent of the Chinese army that had just been set up, Huang Taiji poured himself a glass of milk wine and wanted to suppress the shock, but he couldn't even hold the bowl steadily, the wine came out of the bowl, he let out an angry roar, threw the bowl out, and roared angrily: "How can Ming Dog have such a terrifying artillery!"
Can anyone tell me what the hell is going on with their artillery and why it can hit so far and so hard!
”If the whole family army has such artillery, he is not surprised, this family army has already fought and suffered heavy losses, otherwise, they know that there is no city wall in Liaonan at all, and they don't have the courage to go south to Liaonan.In fact, the development of technology has made it useless for nomads, who have only become good at singing and dancing.No one could answer Huang Taiji's question, and almost everyone, including Fan Wencheng, was frightened by the Flying Thunder Cannon.No way, let alone now, even if it is another three hundred years, the flying thunder cannon is still a rare commodity on the battlefield, and the power is really heartbreaking.If it weren't for the fact that the range was too close, I'm afraid that this kind of thing would never have left the arena of military equipment.Now Hauge is also sweating profusely: "That kind of strange cannon is too terrible, one shot can kill hundreds of us, and it will tear people and horses apart......
There are a few such huge cannons, even if we use a million troops, we can't gnaw at Quang Ninh City!
”Abatai said in a low voice: "Maybe attacking Quang Ninh City is a terrible mistake......
As he was speaking, bad news came again, and the troops responsible for harassing Ningyuan City, Quang Ninh Acropolis, Quang Ninh Middle Acropolis and other cities were bombarded by huge artillery, and they suffered heavy casualties!
In fact, this kind of flying thunder cannon was equipped with a lot in the Ming army, and there were three or four hundred oil drums that Quan Xu moved back and forth, and after buying a tanker truck later, this kind of thing was not used.It is too unsafe to transport oil, and if you are not careful, a fire caused by static electricity can ignite gasoline.Therefore, Quan Xu was very generous and handed over the formula and working principle of the Flying Thunder Cannon to Sun Chengzong.Sun Chengzong directly equipped 14 battalions of vehicles and artillery with this powerful and very light flying thunder cannon, and almost all of them were equipped with this kind of flying thunder cannon from the Shanhaiguan Pass and the Great Wall defense line.As for the flying thunder cannon of the Tianxiong Army, it was sent by Quan Xu for free, because the range of this thing is too close, and the defense of the city wall can be improvised, if anyone uses the flying thunder cannon to deal with the whole family army, the whole family army can teach them how to behave in minutes, not to mention using artillery to bombard, even if it is rocket artillery, it can easily blow up the flying thunder cannon to the north.However, for more than two years, Jiannu has been honest and has no idea about the power of this giant cannon.In order to intimidate the soldiers and civilians defending the city, they approached the city wall too closely, and immediately attracted the bombardment of flying thunder cannons, and they were blown to pieces by surprise.The worst thing is not Huang Taiji, but Beizi Gurma Hui.Gurmahun is the son of Amin, now just seventeen years old, he made his first battle and arrived at the Central Acropolis (Jinzhou) in Quang Ninh, as a result, the gunpowder bag of the flying thunder cannon flew over and landed beside Gurmahui, and with a bang, Gurmahun and more than 70 warriors were blown into the air by the blast wave, and the troops were in chaos.The defenders of the Acropolis in Guangning of the Tianxiong Army saw that there was a advantage to be taken, and immediately opened the city gate, he led more than 200 people to kill first, and 300 crossbowmen followed up, slashing hooves and stepping on muskets and stabbing bayonets, killing the Houjin army that lost its command crying dad and shouting mother, two Jia La's real thousands of elite even Mongols nearly 2,000 people, dead and wounded, only a few dozen people were left to run back with a thigh to report the funeral.This made Huang Taiji smile bitterly.Fortunately, Niu Lu, who came to report the funeral, really made a move and expanded the number of Tianxiong troops by more than ten times, otherwise Huang Taiji would be so angry that he vomited blood.In fact, the Quang Ninh Central Acropolis had fewer defenders than Quang Ninh City, with just over five hundred people.If in a field situation, let alone more than 500 people, even if it is more than 5,000 people, they will not have the courage to fight against 1,000 Jiannu and 2,000 Mongolian cavalry.It turned out to be good, and after less than a quarter of an hour of contact between the front and back, it collapsed.The bad news came one after another, which made Huang Taiji's mood sink, and even worse news also reached Huang Taiji's ears, and the whole family army in southern Liaoning was dispatched.Since the Huayang Society's detailed work did not enter the core of the whole family army, they could only speculate from the obvious mobilization intelligence that the whole family army dispatched four regiments and more than 4,000 people to the north.In fact, instead of 4,000 troops, the whole family army was dispatched, but a reorganized brigade with a total of six regiments of four infantry and two artillery.Huang Taiji looked at the tribal leaders and generals and said, "What now?"
”Yezier, the leader of the Sauron tribe and the brother-in-law of Huang Taiji, said cautiously: "King Khan, otherwise, let's retreat, if we can't fight, even if we can fight, the casualties will be extremely heavy, we can't afford to fight this kind of battle!"
”Huang Taiji smiled bitterly: "Do you think it's okay to withdraw the troops?"
In order to cope with the encirclement and suppression of the Ming army, we delayed the reserve of pasture and the growth of cattle and sheep; Now that I am at odds with the whole family army, I am afraid that there is no way to buy food and cloth from the whole family army; Even if we retreat to the grasslands, how many people will survive this winter?
”Everyone was overwhelmed by the words.Life in the grasslands was already hard, they worked hard to graze, endured hunger and hunger, and survived until autumn and risked their lives to break through the border areas to loot the border areas to obtain food and cloth, in order to survive the winter, and now they have not grabbed anything and a large number of people have died, how can they survive this winter?
Quan Xu originally wanted to let the emperor Taiji a horse and raise his own respect.However, Huang Taiji decided to fight to the death.If you want to advance, you can't retreat, even in the Nurhachi period, they have never tried to be so passive, they have never tried.Huang Taiji stood up, looked around at everyone with eyes like a falcon, and his voice was terrible: "We have no way out!"
Ming Gou will not leave us alive, if we retreat this time, they will intensify their efforts, deploy more cannons to the border gates, and build the cities more strongly, and every day that passes, it will be more difficult for us to take down these cities!
They also have an army that is rampage through the grasslands, looking for an opportunity to bite us hard!
”Facing Huang Taiji's gaze, Dolgon got up helplessly, and echoed Huang Taiji: "King Khan is right, fight with the Ming dogs!"
”"Fight!"
