Paper Maker: This is the end of the Ming Dynasty in Liaozhai

Chapter 192

Although Daming also has cavalry, but the number is less than one-third of the Jurchens, and the level of bravery is even worse. If the Jurchens really plan to escape, it is almost impossible for them to wipe out the other party, unless the Jurchens collapse and civil strife .

"Do your best to obey the destiny."

Hou Shilu shook his head, turned around and got off the car. Although the camp had been built, he had to go back to preside over the overall situation.

On the other side, the Hou Jin army began to set up camp five miles away from Deshengmen.

"Profusely, the spies report that there are now nearly 4 people outside the Desheng gate of the capital of the Ming Dynasty, lined up and ready to fight."

At the Central Army Department, Huang Taiji, Daishan, Jierhalang, and Du Du were looking at the huge capital in the distance, when Yue Tuo hurried over on horseback.

"How come there are so many?"

Hearing this, Huang Taiji frowned and said, "Didn't the detectives say that only Man Gui and Hou Shilu's [-] cavalry were withdrawn from Shunyi to the Ming capital?"

Ten thousand and forty thousand are different. They are the attacking side, and Mangui and the others are the defending side. They have a geographical advantage. Although there is no city wall or moat, there are many antler walls, horse rejection, and horse pits.

Although they have nearly 2 troops now, there are only more than 8000 real Eight Banners soldiers, of which nearly 4000 are his and Daishan's personal soldiers, and more than [-] are Eight Banners soldiers. The rest are either servants or Mongolians. People are not enough to rely on. If they really want to fight, they have to be the vanguard, and those servants and Mongols have the courage to charge.

"Where are Mangurtai and the others?"

After thinking for a while, Huang Taiji asked, because he wanted to attack Shunyi, he took away most of the elites. Now Mang Gurtai and his troops are not many, only Mang Gurtai, Azig, and Dorgon , Duoduo's personal soldiers more than 5000 Eight Banners elite and more than 5000 servants and Mongols.

After reuniting before, he asked Mang Gurtai to take people to Guangqumen, where traces of the Ming army were also found.

Yue Tuo replied: "According to the scouting report, there are tens of thousands of Liaodong cavalry led by Wang Zhichen."

Wang Zhichen?

Huang Taiji looked at the Ming army outside the Desheng Gate. To be honest, he didn't think much of Wang Zhichen. He had neither courage nor strategy. However, those Liaodong cavalry were not weak. In terms of strength, they were no better than the Eight Banners soldiers. Inferior, but the number is less than them.

"Send an order to let Mangurtai and the others prepare for the attack."

After thinking about it for a while, Huang Taiji still gritted his teeth and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't fight. They are here to plunder. If they want to plunder, they should divide their troops. If they want to divide their troops, they must defeat the Ming army in front of them. Only when the emperor of Ming Dynasty was frightened, they could divide their troops to plunder everywhere, otherwise it would be a dead end to rashly divide their troops.

"Yes."

Yue Tuo nodded in response.

...

Soon, Hou Jin set up his formation and slowly approached Deshengmen. At this time, the Ming army also set up a formation.

A thousand feet!

Eight hundred feet!
Five hundred feet!
Both sides of the battle were ready, their weapons were tightly clenched, and a chilling atmosphere permeated the entire battlefield.

"Order Tong Yangxing to bring the Han artillerymen closer to fire, and lure the artillery of the Ming army above and below the city to fire."

At the Central Army, Huang Taiji looked at the densely packed cannons on the city wall and the firecrackers of the Ming army below the city, his eyes narrowed slightly. After fighting with Daming for so long, he naturally knew the power of the Ming army's artillery and firecrackers. Firecrackers are easy to explode and difficult to load gunpowder. They are not opponents of the Ming army at all.

Now there are nearly [-] cannons on the city wall. Once they fire all at once, their cavalry will definitely suffer heavy losses.

Yue Tuo replied: "Yes, sweat."

After a while, five or six hundred Han people slowly came forward pushing hundreds of bowl-mouth cannons and tiger squat cannons. These cannons were all seized on the Liaodong battlefield.

Four hundred feet!
Three hundred feet!
"fire!"

Tong Yangxing gave an order!
boom!boom!boom!
Thick smoke rose from the muzzle, and the cannons roared.

The Jingying soldiers on the city wall were already extremely nervous. When they heard the sound of the cannon, they panicked and fired back one after another. For a while, the roar shook the sky.

"idiot!"

"idiot!"

Hearing the sound of cannons on the city wall, Deng Kui couldn't help yelling at the city. The range of the bowl-mouth cannon and the tiger-squatting cannon was only two hundred feet away, and the Jurchens were still five hundred feet away, and even six hundred feet away from the city wall. ?
At this time, affected by the sound of cannons on the city wall, there were also sparse sounds of firecrackers from the Ming army below the city. Deng Kui's face changed drastically, but he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the soldiers who fired the blunderbuss were the soldiers of Man Gui and Hou Shilu. .

The soldiers and horses under him should not be so stupid. Under the city of Linqing Prefecture, they have attacked the city [-] or [-] times. This kind of mistake.

On the other hand, seeing that the Ming army on the city wall had already opened fire, Huang Taiji waved the flag. In addition to the central army, more than [-] cavalry on the left and right flanks rushed towards the Ming army below the city wall like a landslide and a tsunami. Zhen, Jiala'erzhen, Gushan'erzhen and other later Jins showed various animal features on their faces, and they were obviously disciples.

Four hundred feet!
Three hundred feet!
At this time, many horses of the rear golden cavalry rushing to the front suddenly fell down, and the cavalry on horseback fell off the horses one after another, obviously because of the effect of being trapped in the horse pit. The Ming army rushed forward.

Two hundred feet!
150 feet!

Originally, this distance should be the time when the artillery and crossbow bolts are in full swing. Unfortunately, the artillery and crossbow bolts have been fired just now, and reloading is not a short-term matter.

One hundred feet!

Eighty feet!
The post-golden cavalrymen raised their bows and set up arrows one after another. Horseback riding and archery are the basic skills of cavalrymen. With the help of the momentum and height of the horses, they can maintain extremely strong lethality even fifty feet away.

At this time, more than 500 soldiers holding "swarms of rockets" stood out in the formation of the Ming army. The next moment, thousands of sharp arrows shot at the galloping Houjin cavalry with lightning speed.

puff!puff!puff!
In an instant, the hundreds of cavalry in the lead suddenly turned on their backs, and the cavalry who fell off their horses were directly trampled into flesh by the cavalry behind.

The next moment, rows of rejected horses buried in the soil were pulled up, their sharp spikes facing the golden cavalry behind them.

"rush!"

Du Du, who led the charge, roared loudly, and at the same time, an illusory fox tail appeared behind him, directly smashing a row of rejecting horses, and at the same time, other Jurchen masters also smashed the rejecting horses.

Sixty feet!
Deng Kui shouted loudly: "Shoot!"

Thousands of musketeers fired one after another, and thousands of iron balls shot at the rear golden cavalry like a rain curtain, and hundreds of cavalry fell to the ground in an instant.

Fifty feet!
"shoot!"

Du Du took the lead and shot an arrow, followed by hundreds of soldiers around him, and the cavalry behind them also bowed their bows and shot arrows.

For a while, a rain of arrows enveloped the Ming army under the city wall. At the same time, the Ming army also drew their bows to fight back, and the rain of arrows also enveloped the golden cavalry behind.

At the same time, Man Gui and Hou Shilu also led the cavalry to detour from the two wings and charge in the direction of the golden cavalry.

"rush!"

Seeing the cavalry of Man Gui and Hou Shilu appear, Huang Taiji in the rear also led his troops to charge, aiming directly at Hou Shilu's troops.

At this time, the Houjin cavalry was less than [-] feet away from the [-] Ming army led by Deng Kui.

"Shoot again!"

Deng Kui ordered again.

More than 500 soldiers with "swarms of rockets" stood up. The next moment, thousands of sharp arrows were shot at the galloping rear golden cavalry with lightning speed. It is fast and accurate!
puff!puff!puff!
In an instant, two or three hundred cavalry fell directly off their horses, but the rest of the cavalry crashed into the formation of the Ming army, but only halfway into the formation, they were stopped by the sword and shield hand and the shield chariot, and the two sides fell into a trap. In the entanglement.

On the other side, Hou Shilu's cavalry also ran into Huang Taiji's central army head-on. The arrows formed by Huang Taiji and the soldiers around him were invincible, but all the Ming troops standing in front of him were instantly defeated.

Seeing this, Hou Shilu led his soldiers to kill Huang Taiji directly.

clang!
Hou Shilu slashed at Huang Taiji with a sword, but was easily picked up by Huang Taiji with his sword.

At this time, a figure holding a golden mace rushed out from the city wall. It was Li Hongsheng, the innate master guarding the palace.

"Huang Taiji, come up and fight."

Li Hongsheng slashed down with a mace and approached Huang Taiji. Although Hou Shilu's strength is not weak as the general of the Xuanfu, and he has stepped into the first-class realm through horizontal training. He is not much weaker than ordinary martial arts masters, but it is impossible to be Huang Taiji. The opponent of this kind of innate master.

Seeing Li Hongsheng, Huang Taiji frowned, but still had no choice but to fly into the air and confront Li Hongsheng. It was unlikely that he would kill Hou Shilu in a short time. If Li Hongsheng was allowed to attack, it would very likely lead to chaos in the army. With the strength of Li Hongsheng's innate master, it is basically not difficult to kill those Niu Luerzhen who are mostly third-rate.

Without Huang Taiji, the innate master, Hou Shilu directly faced Dai Shan. At this time, Dai Shan's face was covered with scales, and his eyes had become vertical pupils. It was obvious that he regarded the snake demon as a disciple of the immortal family.

Dai Shan and Hou Shilu wrestled together, and the soldiers around them also fought together. Hou Shilu held a long knife and trained his body and armor horizontally. He had no defense at all. As Daishan retreated every day, his soldiers were equally encouraged and their morale was greatly boosted, even facing Huang Taiji's soldiers did not fall behind.

However, Hou Shilu's side was brave, but his cavalry was not satisfactory. After only contacting for a short time, they were directly at a disadvantage. Although they were not defeated, they obviously couldn't last long.

High in the sky, Huang Taiji looked at the left and right wings led by Du Du and Yue Tuo. At this time, the two were fighting with the Ming army under the city wall, while the cavalry led by Man Gui pierced like spears. Into the ranks of the rear servants and Mongols, invincible.

...

On the other side, outside the Guangqu Gate.

At this time, Manggurtai and the post-golden cavalry led by Azige, Dorgon, and Duoduo also fought with the Liaodong cavalry led by Wang Zhichen.

...

After the battle lasted for nearly half an hour, the battlefield on Hou Shilu's side was the first to tilt. Under Hou Shilu's onslaught, Daishan had already lost his strength, so he could only fight and retreat under the cover of many personal soldiers, and headed towards the rear The direction of the army retreated slowly.

However, on the battlefield, the cavalry under Hou Shilu's command showed signs of being defeated. If Hou Shilu's side was not gaining the upper hand, they would have been completely defeated.

As Daishan and his soldiers returned to the army, the battlefield began to separate, and the two sides gradually separated.

Seeing this, Huang Taiji could only wave his hand to signal Mingjin to withdraw his troops. The left and right wings led by Du Du and Yue Tuo were entangled by the Ming army and could not win in a short time. Man Gui was still killing the servants and Mongols in the rear , Continuing to fight will only cause more casualties.

There was a piercing sound of metal impact, and Du Du and Yue Tuo also started to lead their troops back.

Man Gui and Hou Shilu took the opportunity to lead people to cover up the killing, but they were stopped by Du Du, Yue Tuo, and Dai Shan with their own soldiers after a short chase.

.........

in the camp.

Huang Taiji, Daishan, Jierhalang, Du Du, Yue Tuo and others all looked gloomy. They had just arrived in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, but they had a bad nose in the first battle, and they almost fell down here.

Huang Taiji said in a deep voice: "Yue Tuo, how about the casualties in the army?"

Hearing Huang Taiji's words, Yue Tuo hesitated for a moment, but still cupped his hands and said: "Khan, 860 people were killed on our side this time, and nearly 2000 people were killed by the servants and Mongols. 340 and five people were killed, and more than a thousand servants and Mongols."

"How come there are so many!"

Hearing the casualties reported by Yue Tuo, Huang Taiji was stunned and couldn't help exclaiming. Although he knew that there must be many casualties, he didn't expect that more than 200 people died in battle.

And Daishan and other Jurchen generals were also stunned, and the servants and Mongols were fine. They would not feel bad no matter how many deaths there were, but the death of more than 1000 and two hundred Eight Banners elites was tantamount to cutting off a piece of their flesh.

The system of the Eight Banners Army is that 300 people are one Niulu, and Niulu Ezhen is one person; Wu Niulu is one Jiala, and Jiala Ezhen is one person; Wujiala is one Gushan, and Gushan Ezhen is one person. Now they There are nearly 9 cattle records, and the total number reaches nearly [-].

But not all Eight Banners soldiers are elite, they are qualified to be called elite, only those Eight Banners soldiers who are qualified to recruit servants can be called elites, these Eight Banners soldiers do not need to participate in farming like ordinary Eight Banners soldiers, and servants are responsible for serving , able to devote himself wholeheartedly to cultivation.

Now apart from the more than 1 relatives of their four big Baylors and four small Baylors, there are less than 1 people who can be called elites. These [-] people are the absolute elites of all Eight Banners, with the best weapons and the best The best armor, the best treatment.

This time, the [-] Banner soldiers they brought into the customs are these absolute elites. Now nearly [-]% of them were killed in the first battle, which is no more uncomfortable than cutting their flesh.

"Khan, the main casualty was killed by the Ming army's firearms during the charge."

Yue Tuo lowered his head and sighed: "Those Ming troops who used firearms were too stable. Even if we launched a charge, the opponents did not lose their positions. During the charge, at least 400 people died under the firearms of those Ming troops."

Although their cavalry have armor, the density of firearms is too high. Tens of thousands of arrows shot one or two hundred people. Except for those who shot nothing, everyone was hit by at least twenty or thirty arrows, especially the last time, only two With a distance of more than ten feet, each of them was hit by nearly a hundred arrows, and they were basically shot directly into hedgehogs.
