Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 178 The Siege War Begins

Following Yuan Chonghuan's order, the entire Guan Ning army moved.

At the same time, Man Gui and Lu Daliang also moved the army towards the city wall of Guangqumen after seeing the Guan Ning army in motion.

The defenders on the top of the city also moved towards Guangqumen at this moment, and Zhang Zhiji also sat in Guangqumen himself.

Cao Huachun was also sent out by Chongzhen to inspect the city wall with Captain Jinyiwei and Dongchang fanzi.

The Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty also marched towards Guangqumen under the command of Huang Taiji.

He Kegang was a mighty general in Guan Ning's army, and he was notoriously reckless in battle.

When he led the striker just approaching Guangqumen, he met the Han Baqi rushing up.

The one rushing to the front was the Han Zhenglan Banner, led by Wilde.

This team suffered heavy losses in the siege of Zunhua, and there was no replenishment of soldiers for a while, so the soldiers at the forefront of the Hanzhenglan Banner were directly rushed in by He Kegang with ease.

When He Kegang rushed into the Hanzheng blue flag's army formation, the Hanzheng red flag on the two wings of the Hanzheng blue flag and the Hanxiang blue flag directly surrounded him, and went to surround and kill He Kegang's army formation.

The other Han Eight Banners army formations in the rear also rushed towards He Kegang, trying to surround and kill all He Kegang's troops.

Zu Dashou looked at He Kegang who was surrounded, and hurriedly led his soldiers and horses towards the red flag of Hanzheng and the blue flag of Hanxiang, which rushed up.

Some of the soldiers and horses led by Zu Dashou were cavalry. When this group of cavalry rushed directly into the formation of Han Zhenglan Banner soldiers, they threw them into chaos.

The soldiers under Zu Dashou's command were the most elite of the Guanning Army. Although they might not be able to compare with Jiannu's vest soldiers, if compared with the soldiers of Han Eight Banners, they were much stronger.

When Zu Dashou rushed in, all of a sudden, the entire battlefield shouted and killed.

Zu Dashou led the elite servants under his command like wolves like a flock of sheep, constantly charging and killing in the army formation of Hanzheng Red Banner and Han Xianglan Banner.

Under his leadership, the soldiers and horses behind him rushed into the surrounding Hanzheng Red Banner and Han Xianglan Banner.

At the same time, the red-clothed cannons on the top of the city continued to fire, hitting solid iron balls directly into the formation of the Han Eight Banners.

When each solid iron ball hit the Han Eight Banners army formation, it directly crashed into a flesh and blood alley.

The solid iron ball kept rolling on the ground, anyone who was touched by the iron ball was directly torn to pieces by the iron ball.

The ladder carts pushed slowly forward by the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty and the crashed carts were damaged a lot by the solid iron balls fired from the top of the city.

The moment these wooden siege equipment was hit by the iron ball, it directly turned into a pile of broken wood chips.

The sawdust flew directly in all directions, killing many Han Eight Banner soldiers pushing the cart.

With the constant artillery fire from the top of the city and the soldiers of Zu Dashou rushing in, He Kegang's soldiers and horses instantly became morale high. They waved their knives and kept moving towards the Han Eight Banners in front of them. rush away.

Under the successive attacks of cavalry and red-clothed cannons, the Hanzheng Blue Banner, Hanzheng Red Banner, and Han Xianglan Banner instantly became a mess and fled to the rear.

Han Zhenglan Banner, Zhenghong Banner, and Xianglan Banner soldiers and horses were charging behind the Han Eight Banners army formation, but the retreated soldiers broke up the formation directly, making the entire front army formation in chaos.

After the successful formation of the Han Eight Banners in history, their combat effectiveness was quite good, but they were formed in the seventh year of Chongzhen.In the seventh year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji's power was much greater than it is today, and he had enough resources to form the Han Eight Banners.

But now the Eight Banners of Han formed by Huang Taiji is five years earlier than in history, five years earlier, the formation of the Eight Banners of Han is relatively hasty.

As a result, the current Han Eight Banners cannot be compared with the historical ones at all.

Although the fighting power of the Han Eight Banners is quite good, it is only compared to the ordinary Ming army.

The Guan Ning Army is known as the strongest army in the world. Although it is a lot of bragging, it is not too bad.

At the same time, Zhengbai Banner saw that the situation in the Eight Banners of Han Dynasty was not good, rushed over from the flank, and went straight to the flank of Zu Dashou's soldiers and horses.

He fought with Zu Dashou's soldiers and horses.

Wu Xiang's flanking troops also rushed in, fighting with the soldiers of the Eight Banners of Han Dynasty.

The entire battlefield became chaotic in an instant, and a siege battle turned into an encounter battle.

The Xiangbai Banner was blocked by the Han Eight Banners in a mess in front, and it was too late to rush up for a while.I can only look at the chaotic battlefield ahead and sigh.

When Man Gui led the cavalry to rush in from the side of the Han Eight Banners, and when the defenders on the city head kept firing at the Han Eight Banners, the vanguard of the entire Han Eight Banners was completely defeated.

Huang Taiji stayed at the back, looking at the Han Banners in front who were constantly retreating towards the rear, he jumped up and cursed, "These bastards, did they all grow up eating porridge? Why did they all lose all of a sudden?
Mingjin withdraws troops, everyone is trash. "

Huang Taiji slammed the whip in his hand to the ground, and shouted angrily at Fan Wencheng.

After a few breaths, a gong sounded from Jiannu's rear army.

For a moment, the Han Eight Banners soldiers who heard the sound of the gong ran straight to the rear.

Seeing this, the Jiannu soldiers in the rear hurriedly retreated, fearing that they would be scattered by these frightened soldiers.

Yuan Chonghuan led the rest of the troops to rush over at this time. Looking at the retreating Jiannu soldiers and horses, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Jiannu is nothing more than that, that's all."

Where is Jian slave but that?This is simply because the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty can't do it. If the soldiers of Jiannu were to take the lead, how could the Guan Ning army repel them so easily?

After the defeated army retreated, Huang Taiji gathered all the generals in an open space.

"Wilde, why did your army get into chaos first? Ben Khan needs an explanation from you?"

Huang Taiji looked at Hanzheng Lanqi Gushan Erzhen Wilde who was kneeling on the ground, and shouted sharply.

Wilde's body was trembling all the time, "Khan, it's not that the slaves don't want to die, it's because the Guan Ning army is too tough, there's really nothing we can do about it?"

"No way? Hmph, Ben Khan sees you as incompetent. Hanzheng Lanqi Gushan Ezhen Wilde was incompetent, causing chaos in the army and attacking the rear army to affect the morale of the army. Come, pull Wilde down for me, chop him down Yes. Also, those Hanzheng Blue Banner soldiers who ran back first were also chopped off by me." Huang Taiji looked around and said with a sinister face.

"Great Khan, spare your life, the slave is really powerless, spare your life, Great Khan!!!"

Wilde was dragged out by two personal guards of Huang Taiji, he was terrified and kept yelling.

Unfortunately, no one spoke for him.Everyone watched helplessly as he was pulled out.

A moment later, there was a scream, and then, a guard walked over with a head in his hand.

Huang Taiji waved his hand at the guard, as if to repel flies, "Throw him and the corpses of those Hanzheng blue banner soldiers who were hacked into the wild to feed the wild wolves.

By the way, what happened to Mangurtai and Amin?Is there any news? "

"Big Khan, the two Baylors have now broken through two counties in Shuntian Prefecture, looting more than 5000 young men."

Holding a military document in his hand, Fan Wencheng spoke slowly to Huang Taiji.

"It took only half a day to conquer two counties and loot more than 5000 young and strong men. Mang Gurtai and A Min contributed a lot." Sitting on a chair, Huang Taiji gradually revealed a smile on his face. , The shadow of the failure just now was washed away a lot.

"Pass down the order, bury the pot to cook, take a short rest, and then attack the city in the afternoon."

Yuan Chonghuan looked at the retreating Jiannu, and said to He Kegang Zu Dashou and others: "Organize a defense line immediately to prevent the Jiannu soldiers from raiding."

"My lord, where are Man Gui and the others?" Zu Dashou looked at Yuan Chonghuan and asked with a puzzled expression.

"Man Gui and Lu Daliang, let them be on our flanks. He Kegang is on the first line of defense, Zu Dashou is on the second line, and I lead the rest of the troops on the third line of defense. The distance between the lines of defense is one hundred steps, forming a ladder Decorate."

Yuan Chonghuan stroked his beard lightly and said in a deep voice.

At the same time, Zhao Wen and others are rushing towards this side.

"Where is our Yebushou now?" Zhao Wen, riding on the horse, asked Zhao Daniu beside him in a deep voice.

Zhao Daniu said: "My lord, our Yebushou has already arrived around the capital."

"The capital? Is there any news now?" Zhao Wen looked ahead and asked in a deep voice.

"A wave came back half an hour ago, and they said that Jianu has already started attacking the city."

"Siege? What's the matter? Is the capital still intact?" Zhao Wen frowned.

Zhao Daniu laughed, and said: "Sir, although this Jiannu is powerful, it is not so easy to break through the capital. The capital has been repaired almost every year since the Yongle Dynasty until now. Today's capital, According to the current strength of Jiannu, let alone 10, even 20, it is impossible to break through in a short time."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Wen couldn't help nodding.At that time, An Da commanded hundreds of thousands of troops to besiege the capital, and the siege lasted for an unknown period of time, but he still looked forward to the city and sighed, there was no way to break through the capital.

During the 17th year of Chongzhen's Jiashen state change, the reason why Li Zicheng was able to easily break through the capital was not because Li Zicheng's troops were strong, but because there was a plague in the capital at that time. As a result, the capital was captured.

Otherwise, even if ten Li Zicheng were tied together, they would not be able to break through the capital so easily.

Or how would later generations say that Li Zicheng picked up a capital?

"Pass down the order and move forward quickly. We must arrive at the capital tomorrow." Zhao Wen looked at Zhao Daniu and said in a deep voice.

……

"Woooooo!"

When the horn sounded, the entire Jiannu barracks erupted again.

The soldiers who failed to retreat in the morning siege gathered again.

The tactics this time are similar to the previous ones, with the Eight Banners of Han taking the lead.

It's just that the soldiers at the front didn't carry siege equipment. These soldiers mainly broke through the defense line of the Ming army.

"In the siege battle in the afternoon, whoever is the first to break through the defense line of the Ming army can carry his membership and directly enter the Eight Banners. Whoever is the first to attack the capital will be conferred a title. After breaking through the capital, all kinds of gold and silver Let him choose the treasure first."

Huang Taiji looked at the Eight Banners of Han who had regrouped, riding on their horses, agitating non-stop.

Huang Taiji's words really aroused quite a reaction.

I saw that the faces of the soldiers in the Han Eight Banners are all crazy. As long as they can lift their credentials, they will stand up and become masters in the future.As long as you become the master, will there be less glory and wealth in the future?

"The sweat is mighty, the sweat is mighty!"

I don't know who was the first to shout. After a short time, the entire Han Eight Banners army array began to shout loudly.

"Attack!" Huang Taiji drew out the long knife at his waist, pointed at Guangqumen, and shouted sharply.

"Boom boom boom!"

The dull army drum sounded, and the atmosphere on the entire battlefield was stagnant.

"kill!!!"

The Han Eight Banners soldiers rushed forward, waving their knives.

He Kegang was in the middle of the first line of defense. He squinted his eyes, held a steel knife, and rode on a horse, looking coldly at the Han Eight Banners soldiers rushing over.

"Combine!"

He Ke just let out a roar, and the soldiers behind him immediately raised their spears horizontally, pointing forward.

Although the effect of cavalry charging is far stronger than infantry charging, how could Huang Taiji be willing to send his troops out to charge?

For Huang Taiji, the Eight Banners of Han Dynasty are just a bunch of cannon fodder. If the cannon fodder is gone, then they just need to catch some bright people, but if the Eight Banners athletes are gone, it will be difficult to replenish them.

You must know that it takes at least ten years to train each Jiannu vest soldier.What's more, the number of Jurchens is still very rare.

Every vest soldier is like a treasure in Huang Taiji's eyes, and Huang Taiji doesn't want to waste it on this kind of battle.

"kill!"

The soldiers of the Hanzheng Blue Banner who rushed to the front brandished their long knives and rushed towards He Kegang's line of defense, but what greeted them was ruthless spears.

"Kill me!!!"

He Kegang looked at the Hanzheng Blue Banner soldiers rushing over and roared angrily.

The bannerman standing next to him hurriedly waved the flag in his hand to convey He Kegang's order.

Not long after He Kegang's voice fell, the soldiers at the forefront of the first line of defense stabbed the spears in their hands fiercely towards the front.

Perhaps the lethality of one or two long spears is not comparable to that of a long knife, but if it becomes large-scale, the lethality is not comparable to that of a long knife.

"Puff puff!"

The spear directly pierced the chest of the Han Eight Banners soldiers rushing forward, and the sound of puffing into the flesh was constantly remembered.

In front of the long spear formation, there appeared more than a dozen corpses of soldiers of the Eight Banners of Han Dynasty.

"Rush for me! Don't stop. If anyone rushes in, I will definitely report it to the Khan and give him his passport!" Gushan Ezhenli Platform of Han Xianglan Banner, under the protection of his personal guards, hissed angrily.

Li Platform's words were like a stone thrown into a pool of water, directly setting off waves.

The soldiers of the Han Xianglan Banner went crazy for a moment and rushed forward.

He Kegang looked at the soldiers with the blue flag of the Han Dynasty rushing forward, and hurriedly said: "The archers go up to me and cover the battlefield!"
