Chapter 445 The End of the Nomadic Era Huang Taiji looked at the wall of Guangning City with a somewhat dull gaze, looking at the wall of fire that was three or four zhang high.His eyes seemed to be out of focus, many generals reported the military situation to him, and he couldn't hear any sound in his ears, and his sadness and despair hidden in his distracted gaze.Yes, it was utter despair, and the moment the flames soared into the air, he was already utterly desperate.The firearms of the Tianxiong army are endless, one is more terrifying than the other, one is more powerful than the other, they don't have to hide on the city wall, they can kill a large area by throwing a bundle down, and then the Jin army can't effectively kill the Tianxiong army with all its might.These firearms are not only powerful, but also simple to use, an ordinary farmer can learn how to use them in half a day, which means that even a group of militia can inflict great casualties on the Houjin army, and all the advantages are on the side of the Tianxiong army.If he still had a trace of luck before, but now, when he saw thousands of people being burned alive in an instant by the sea of fire formed by the Tianxiong Army on the city wall, he was even smashed to the last bit of luck.This battle can't be fought.This is not just Huang Taiji's own thoughts, almost everyone thinks like this.They fought for casualties, exhausted the Ming army's firearms, lead and artillery shells, and when they reached the city wall, they easily set fire to hundreds of Houjin warriors.They can't kill or injure many Tianxiong troops if they work hard, and the soldiers of the Tianxiong Army can kill and injure a large number of them as long as they throw some earth-shaking thunder, how can this battle be fought?
Huang Taiji was a little disheartened, he didn't want to say anything, he didn't want to do anything.In his opinion, no matter how exquisite his tactical deployment was, he would be easily blown into powder by the firearms of the Tianxiong Army, and everything was just a futile struggle, so why bother?
Now he just wants to know, what kind of firearms the Ming army uses, and why is it so terrifying!
It's just that war is the best way to learn, and everyone is learning fast.Especially the artillery of Houjin, they fought for half the night, especially when the knife was on the neck, they played at a super level.Although Huang Taiji did not order the attack, he did not order it to stop, and those Han artillerymen continued to fire shells under the supervision of the white armor soldiers."......Boom" a shell fell into the fire, the shell consumed kinetic energy in the fire, and the firewood that did not burn clean was torn apart by the huge kinetic energy of the shell.The fire on the city walls was noticeably smaller.Fan Wencheng was overjoyed: "Aim at the city wall and continue to fire!"
”More than 200 artillery pieces, large and small, huraled and smashed all kinds of shells at the city wall, and the fire on the city wall became smaller and smaller.Huang Taiji's originally sloppy gaze finally had a charm: "God bless Dajin!"
”Zheng Qian always belongs to the kind of person who is crazy and calm, even if he has only a few hundred men and horses, plus five or six thousand young and strong people, he dares to face hundreds of thousands of enemy troops.But he will never take the enemy lightly and put his brothers in danger.In Yang Guanji's view, such a general has a bright future.In the Battle of Quang Ninh, he became famous in the first battle, and since then he has risen to prominence, and soon became a prestigious general.Zheng Qian ordered people to collect supplies and add fuel to the city wall.Hopefully, the wall of fire will give him a chance to breathe.He was praying that the whole family's military reinforcements could arrive quickly, and he was also praying that Lu Xiangsheng could come back quickly.If it was other Ming troops, in the face of Guangning City being surrounded by hundreds of thousands of Houjin troops, they would never dare to come out to rescue Guangning City, but the Tianxiong Army was not an ordinary Ming army.They are an army composed of the township party and clan as the backbone force, with blood relations as the cohesion, and only true blood relatives can not abandon or give up when they know that they are dead.There is a proverb: "Fight the tiger brothers, go into battle father and son soldiers!"
”Just when the city wall of Guangning City fell into a sea of fire, the entire city wall fell into a sea of fire, such as Guangwei Qianwei City, Ningyuan City, etc., all passed the transmission of the beacon fire and received the news of the emergency of Guangning City.The other cities did not hesitate much, and they soon sent reinforcements to Quang Ninh, with a maximum of 500 men and a minimum of 3 or 400 men.On the third watch, the wind and clouds dissipated, and a full moon came out from behind the dark clouds and hung high in the sky.By the moonlight as bright as silver, when the reinforcements of the Tianxiong army arrived at the periphery of Guangning City, they saw torches one after another, as if the stars in the sky had fallen to the earth, the horn of the cang, the golden watchman agitated, and the big flags were hunting and flying in the evening wind, which was the camp of the Houjin army.The soldiers, who had been on the road all night, let out a breath of white air, and finally arrived!
The defenders of Quang Ninh City have lived up to the trust of Lord Lu, and Quang Ninh City is still in their hands!
It's just, how to fight this battle?
The reinforcements of the Tianxiong army stared at each other with big eyes, and the Houjin army was too much.After a day and most of the night's attrition, the Houjin army lost more than 12,300 casualties, and the camp was full of wounded, so I didn't bother to count them, but the Houjin still had more than 100,000 troops, and the reinforcements drawn from various cities added up to less than 2,000 people.If 2,000 men and horses are concentrated in the city, it is estimated that Huang Taiji will have no way to fight and retreat directly.But the problem is, they're in the wild now.The big tents of the Houjin are one after another, and the bonfires are one after another, and it can be vaguely seen that in the Houjin camp, some people are drinking alcohol, some people are singing in a low voice, and some people are whimpering and choking, seeing that the wall of fire on the city wall is getting lower and lower, and the shouting of the Houjin army is getting louder and louder.The officers and men of the Tianxiong Army did not hesitate for long, the information on the battlefield was one-way transparent to them, and at this time, the elite troops of the Fourth Brigade of the Quanjia Army were rushing to Quang Ninh City in the direction of a forced march, and they could arrive at the battlefield at noon tomorrow, that is, in more than five hours.It was only necessary to disrupt the offensive rhythm of the Houjin army and hold out for five hours, and victory must belong to them.Eighteen 105-mm field guns, from three directions, with a volume of one and a half times the amount of gunpowder, began to fire shells at the Houjin army."
Boom, boom, boom......"
A succession of artillery sounds rang out from afar."
Artillery bombardment by the Tianxiong Army!""
Shelling, Tianxiong army attacking the camp!"
As the artillery sounded, the muskets and crossbowmen of the Tianxiong army also stepped forward one after another to attack the Houjin army, because the Houjin army was too numerous and very confident, the Tianxiong army would not go out of the city to fight, so they didn't even have the most basic camp wall, let alone Yan Shan, not even a trench.In this way, it has given great convenience to the reinforcements of the Tianxiong Army.Solid cannonballs, with great kinetic energy, rampaged in the camp of the Houjin army, and many cannonballs inadvertently hit the bonfire, and the bonfire hit by the cannonballs ignited the surrounding camp tents like a goddess scattering flowers.This time, Houjin Daying began to mess up.The flames were rolling, there was chaos everywhere, the screams, the neighing of the horses, the cursing of the noble generals, the screams shook the earth, God knows how many people came to attack them, and he didn't know how many casualties, let alone how many people were blown to pieces by the shells!
Fortunately, the Houjin camp was large enough, and when there was a commotion in the distance, Huang Taiji discovered the problem of the Tianxiong army's attack, and he hurriedly ordered all the troops not to move.As an experienced Huang Taiji, his methods of dealing with night attacks are all bloody experience, prescribing the right medicine, tossing until dawn, and finally getting the Tianxiong soldiers who came to support behind.It's just that because of nearly 2,000 Tianxiong soldiers, they have won precious repair time for Quang Ninh City with their lives, and of course, this time is not much, about two hours.The key is that more than 2,000 soldiers of the Tianxiong Army used their lives to bring hope to the defenders of Quang Ninh City who were in a desperate situation.Although Yang Guanji failed to fight, there was still a set of demagoguery, he announced that "the vanguard of the whole family army reinforcements has arrived, and then the brigade will arrive in Guangning, as long as Guangning City can hold out until the whole family army arrives, they will be saved!"
”In this case, the defenders of Quang Ninh City carried their lives to the death, and finally repelled the attack of the Houjin army again.The night finally passed, and the sky slowly brightened.However, in this night's fierce battle, more than 200 soldiers of the Tianxiong Army took their last breath when the sun came out, and at this time, Zheng Qian's troops were less than 300 people, and it could be said that they were exhausted.What made Mr.
Zheng Qian feel a little more relieved was that after a day and a night of fierce fighting, the people of Guangning City quickly matured, and they seemed to be familiar with the cruelty of the battlefield in the shortest possible time.The people, in particular, ate their breakfast in silence, facing the blackened corpses at their feet, which did not affect their appetite in the slightest.At dawn, Quan Xu also got the information that Quang Ninh City was holding on, and at the same time, he also knew that the Fourth Brigade of the Quanjia Army was less than a hundred miles away from Quang Ninh City.Quan Xu looked at Lu Xiangsheng, whose eyes were red, and said with a faint smile: "Lord Lu, didn't you sleep well last night?"
”"Quang Ninh City......
The military situation is like fire, how can I sleep with peace of mind?
”Lu Xiangsheng let out a long sigh: "Don't hide it from Dongsheng, I'm really worried......"
"Actually, there's no need to worry!"
”Quan Xu handed the breakfast in front of him to Lu Xiangsheng for breakfast.This one-man breakfast is chow mein, which is made with plenty of nuts, preserved fruits, and jerky.In fact, fried noodles also have fried rice, and like the self-heating rice of later generations, each soldier has a bag of quicklime, which can be sprinkled on the battlefield and used as a weapon if the wind is favorable.Of course, you can also add appropriate water, quicklime meets water to release heat, the water boils instantly, they can pour the fried noodles into their respective lunch boxes, and then heat the fried noodles, just like drinking sticky porridge, of course, you don't like to eat porridge, you can also add a small amount of water, kneaded into dough.I don't dare to compliment the taste, but it can meet the basic energy consumed by the human body.While eating, Quan Xu smiled and said, "Lord Lu, our trip is actually a witness!"
”"Witness?"
Quan Xu nodded: "That's right, we need to witness, witness the end of an era, the era of nomads is over, they don't have any chances." ”.
