Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 186 Unable to explain to the Great Khan

Although starting from Nurhachi, after Jurchen occupied Liaodong, they used many excuses such as "killing those without food" to massacre Han children, causing the number of Han people to drop sharply.

But Han Chinese still make up the majority.

Zhao Cheng can supply soldiers here.

He is going to win a few battles first, and then he can start to explode with infinite logistics.

Unlimited logistics, plus there are Han people, there is a mass base...

This battle is a sure win.

"Break into Shenyang City and drive the Jurchens back to the mountains!"

Zhao Cheng raised the slogan.

……

At this time, at the head of Shengjing City, Fan Wencheng hurriedly arrived, looking at the busy Ming army in the distance, he couldn't believe his eyes.

A Ming army suddenly appeared outside Shengjing City?
This is almost the most unlikely thing to happen.

"Where did the Ming army come from? How dare you! How dare you come to our Shengjing! Master Fan, give me a Niulu, and I'll kill them all. Let them escape, and I, Zhuobutai, will take the lead." See!"

A strong young man shouted loudly.

This is Zhuobutai with a yellow flag.

It is relatively unknown to mention Zhuobutai's descendants, but he has a brother named Aobai who has a great reputation in later generations.

Both Zhuobutai and Aobai brothers are notoriously fierce and very brave to fight.

Now Aobai is following Huang Taiji to conquer Lin Danhan.

Zhuobutai stayed behind in Shengjing.

Zhuobutai has always been extremely sincere to Huang Taiji, and he is a trustworthy general of Huang Taiji.

At this time, Zhuobutai was young and vigorous, and the Dajin Kingdom was flourishing.

Ming Gou, who they usually don't pay attention to, dared to come to Shengjing to show off his might, is that okay?

Now he can't wait to go out immediately and chop up all these Ming dogs.

Fan Wencheng was much more cautious. He squinted his eyes and watched carefully.

"Don't be angry, general. As the saying goes, there must be monsters when things go wrong. The Ming army was defeated by us one after another, and they no longer had the courage to fight in the field. How could they dare to take the initiative to attack? Moreover, how long did they arrive, and they were able to forge out of thin air?" A city wall...how is this done?"

Fan Wencheng let out a slight breath.

It was only three miles apart, and they watched a city wall rise from the ground.

Although compared with Shengjing's city wall, that city wall is still a little short, but the speed is too fast, right?It is simply not humanly possible.

"What are you afraid of? The Ming army likes to mess with these moths. What the hell! We just need to punch them in, and the world will be peaceful!" Zhuobutai said loudly.

"That's right! Master Fan, are you timid? Don't let us attack, are you just watching Minggou build a city here? Or, what if they bluff and run away again? Aren't we successful? Got a joke?"

Next to him, a general Sabitu stared and said.

He is a Niu Lu Ezhen, so in terms of status, he is naturally far inferior to Fan Wencheng.

Ordinarily, there is no place for him to speak here.

But he is a Jurchen.

Although Fan Wencheng has a high official position, he is a Han.

Therefore, he didn't take Fan Wencheng too seriously.

If Da Khan didn't value this Han official very much, he wouldn't even bother to say a word to this Han official.

Fan Wencheng frowned.

He always felt that something was wrong.

But at the same time, he also knew that if he insisted on not sending troops, if the Ming army really just bluffed and had other intentions and ran away in a while, then Fan Wencheng would completely lose face in front of these Jurchens.

"Okay. General Zhuobutai and Sabitu, please take a Niulu army to defeat the Ming army. If the opponent flees, you must be careful in pursuit..."

Before Fan Wencheng finished speaking, Zhuobutai had already agreed, and he and Sabitu hurried down to the top of the wall.

The city gate was opened wide, and a group of cavalry rumbled out of the city.

The Niu Lu brought by Zhuobutai is mainly infantry. According to their usual combat experience, they plan to approach within one or two hundred steps before organizing a charge.

The closer the distance, the more surprised Zhuobutai was.

"It's only two incense sticks of time, right? The Ming army actually built a city? Could it be that they really know sorcery?"

The city wall surrounded by containers is more than three meters high.

For people of this era, it is extremely shocking.

The walls of many county towns are only three to five meters high.

"Don't care about sorcery! I'll kill them with a knife! Minggou likes to play with these deceitful things!"

Sabitu held up the iron knife and couldn't wait to charge forward.

He had even started to imagine how much fun it would be to slash with an iron knife after rushing into the camp of the Ming army.

About five hundred steps.

Da da da!
The hooves of the horses beat the ground, and they all controlled the horses and moved forward in small steps.

Their combat experience is very rich, and they are not in a hurry to charge, and they want to save horsepower.

tom tom tom!
But, suddenly, the gunfire sounded.

Solid bullets whizzed over one by one, smashing through the crowd.

There were screams, and everyone who was hit was either dead or maimed.

Zhuobutai and Sabitu were stunned.

"Hongyi cannons! This Ming army actually has Hongyi cannons! How did they transport such heavy Hongyi cannons?"

They were afraid.

They are not afraid of the Ming army's bows and arrows, they are not afraid of the Ming army's firecrackers, but they are only afraid of the Hongyi cannon.

Because the Great Khan Nurhachi was killed by the Hongyi cannon!

Fighting in Liaodong, they suffered a lot from the Ming army's Hongyi cannons.

It is precisely because of this that the Jurchens have always attached great importance to the Hongyi Cannon, and it was still the case in the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Now, when the Hongyi cannon fired, they were not calm anymore.

"Charge! Charge!"

Zhuobutai shouted.

He didn't know how the Ming army transported such a heavy Hongyi cannon.

But since the opponent has already fired, they must rush over as soon as possible, and if they dawdle, they will be the target of the opponent's artillery.

Rumble!
The horseshoes trampled, the ground trembled, and the dust evaporated.

A Niulu cavalry charged forward, full of momentum.

Fan Wencheng watched from afar from the top of the city, secretly proud and proud.

He took refuge in the Jurchen, and he was insulted by many civil servants of the Ming Dynasty.

But he believes that the facts will prove that his vision is far-sighted.

The Jurchens are the ones who can truly accomplish great things.

Let's see!
Could this powerful Jurchen cavalry be something that the Ming army could resist?
Three hundred Nuzhen cavalry were enough to crush the hundreds of Ming troops on the opposite side.

tom tom tom!
The gunfire kept ringing.

crackle crackle!

The sound of firecrackers was as dense as firecrackers.

"what?"

Fan Wencheng gave a slight snort.

There are not many Ming troops on the opposite side, so the firepower is too strong, right?

It doesn't matter if they are equipped with Hongyi cannons, why are there so many of them?

Fan Wencheng was only slightly surprised.

On the battlefield, Zhuobutai and others were terrified.

As they rushed forward, the solid bullets were replaced by flowering bullets.

Every time a shell fell, some people were blown up.

The artillery of the Ming army fired very fast, and shells kept falling.

That's fine.The point is that the fire guns of the Ming army also shot too far.

Projectiles roared, and people kept getting shot and fell off their horses.

Zhuobutai couldn't believe it.

Quite a few of them are wearing three-layer armor!

In front of this projectile, he was actually vulnerable.

He was about to say something to Sabitu when he turned his head and saw that Sabitu who was rushing beside him happened to be hit in the chest by a bullet.

The double layer of cotton armor, together with the chain mail, failed to prevent the projectile.

Zhuobutai saw with his own eyes that a blood hole had been opened in Sabitu's chest, and he fell off his horse and never moved again.

Sabitu is a Jurchen warrior!

Relying on force, he climbed up step by step and took the position of Niu Luerzhen. He was famous for his bravery in battle.

Once, Sabitu charged with the dead soldiers, brandishing iron knives, and rushed into the camp of the Ming army. In one battle, he killed more than a dozen Ming soldiers by himself.

Now, he was shot in the chest by a projectile before he even rushed in within two hundred steps, so he died so cheaply?
Not only Sabitu, but everyone around him fell down one by one like cutting leeks.

"Kill the enemy!"

Zhuobutai could not accept this at all.

They have a powerful team, three hundred warriors, but they can't beat the 700 Ming army?

how can that be!

Ping Pong Pong!

Gunfire continued.

The cavalry is fast, but the guns of the Ming army are faster.

As soon as he rushed within a hundred steps, Zhuobutai saw several black cannons pointing at him.

Is this the Hongyi cannon of the Ming army?
This is too small!

Just as this year flashed through Zhuobutai's mind, he saw the cannons on the city wall bursting out with flames and smoke.

He felt as if he was hit by something suddenly, and he flew upside down and fell heavily to the ground.

Then, he fell into darkness...

The Jurchen warriors who were following saw with their own eyes that their master was bombarded by the iron balls of the artillery, his chest was smashed to pieces, and they were frightened and terrified.

At the top of the city, Fan Wencheng was also dumbfounded.

"Mingjin! Hurry up and withdraw!"

In any case, he never thought that a soldier of Niulu would disappear like this!

The Jurchen is a bull record, and it should be a battle that must be won if it goes to fight 700 people from the Ming army!
He didn't even rush to the front, and he was almost dead.

too fast.

So much so that even Fan Wencheng couldn't make Mingjin withdraw in time.

The sound of gold ringing sounded, and when Niulu's men wanted to retreat, there were only a few dozen people left.

The Ming army did not stop there, and the gunfire continued.

In the end, only a dozen or so riders escaped back.

The gate of the city was opened, and one by one fled back to the city in terror.

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

In the camp of the Ming army, Wan Sheng cheered loudly.

Fan Wencheng's face was livid.

How long has it been?

They have never experienced such a scene!
When was it the Ming army's turn to cheer Wan Sheng, but their Dajin army fled in embarrassment?
More importantly, this battle lost one of Niulu's men, even Zhuobutai, the grandson of the Aixinjueluo family, and Niulu Ezhen Sabitu were killed in the battle.

Fan Wencheng felt that he couldn't explain to Da Khan!
Fan Wencheng's eyes turned black, his legs felt weak, and he almost sat down on the ground.

"Close the city gate! Quickly! Close the city gate! Bring up the archers and defend the city!"

Fan Wencheng roared.

……

Zhao Cheng put down the binoculars with a smile.

There are Hongyi cannons at the top of the city, and there are so many archers, of course it is impossible for him to attack the city.

However, after this battle, the city of Shengjing suffered a disadvantage, and they couldn't figure out the details of Zhao Cheng's side, so they probably wouldn't dare to attack again in a short time.

Zhao Cheng immediately dispatched three troops.

A detachment goes to clean up the battlefield.

The two detachments attacked separately, wiped out the surrounding villages, and brought back some Han Chinese.

Other housekeepers started digging and filling the containers.

The container is filled with soil, and the temporary city wall can be turned into the strongest city wall.

This side is so busy that everyone in Shengjing city watched, but they didn't dare to rush to attack again.

……

Ping Pong Pong!

A Ming army dismounted and rushed into the village, killing anyone who resisted with a knife.

Suddenly, there was a jerk.

The Jurchens in the village couldn't believe that the Ming army would come to kill them.

Jurchen's policy is to draw one for every three.

In addition, some people are going to serve as auxiliary soldiers and deliver food for those who march and fight.

This is almost the same as all the people are soldiers.

Now, the Great Khan led the army to fight against Lin Danhan, and there were not many young Jurchens left in the village.

However, they are not afraid.

Seeing that the Ming army came, they were shocked and took up weapons one after another, trying to kill the Ming army.

However, this Ming army was completely different from what they had imagined.

As soon as they showed their heads, they were shot to death by firecrackers.

Soon, the gunfire stopped.

"Come out! Everyone, come out! Gather at the entrance of the village. We are the master of the king! Only kill Tartars, not Han Chinese."

"All Han people, gather at the entrance of the village. We are Master Wang, and we are here to rescue you. Follow us, and there will be steamed buns to eat! Be full! If you dare to hide, we will burn down the village!" If you find that you are hiding, kill them immediately!"

"..."

Ming soldiers roared one by one.

Soon, villagers began to gather at the entrance of the village one by one.

There was horror in their eyes, no matter whether they believed it or not, they had no choice.

After they assembled, the Ming army set the village on fire and took all of them away.

For a while, the crying continued.

……

"Bombard the cannons towards the city! You don't need to save the shells, just treat them as free of charge, and blast the fuck to me!"

Just after filling several containers with soil and being able to withstand the reaction force of the Hongyi cannon, Zhao Cheng couldn't wait to give an order.

He exchanged more than a dozen Hongyi cannons, and now he opened them word by word, and began to bombard Shengjing City.

When Zhao Cheng built the city, he chose this location very delicately.

The city wall is 500 meters away from Shengjing City.

This distance happened to be the limit of the range of the Hongyi Cannon in this era.

In other words, Shengjing City's cannons couldn't hit here.

The Hongyi cannon that Zhao Cheng exchanged from the system mall was built by later generations, and it is more sophisticated and has a longer range.

There is no problem within two or three kilometers.

tom tom tom!
At this time, there was a roar, and solid bullets roared and smashed on the head of Shengjing City.

Big holes were smashed into the city wall.

The garrison at the top of the city was even worse. When the solid bullet hit it, it was a miserable scene immediately.

Fan Wencheng has been at the top of the city and never went down the city wall.

There is a Ming army outside the city, of course he wants to sit here personally, he can't live up to the entrustment of the Great Khan.

Suddenly, solid bullets hit him one after another, and Fan Wencheng was shocked.
