I am the carpenter king

Chapter 503 The Last Straw

The fighters on the battlefield are fleeting, and Nurhachi has always felt this way. When he saw that the Ming army split into two wings but did not block the cavalry in front, he was greatly relieved.

For the Eight Banners who had already rushed through the artillery fire of the Ming army, the Ming army formation on the opposite side was simply not enough to withstand the impact of the cavalry.As long as the team rushes in, chaos is certain, and as long as the Ming army's formation is in chaos, the battle will be won.

At this time, the Ming army formation can be said to be in full swing, and countless shield players came to the front, laying the shield in an orderly manner.It seems that the timing was not good. Before the shield was erected, the Jiannu cavalry's feathered arrows arrived.Feathered arrows as numerous as migratory locusts shot into the formation of the Ming army, and there were screams one after another for a while.

"Commander, dodge for a while! Liu Yayan, if you hurt the commander, there will be no redemption!" Sun Chuanting's personal guards protected Sun Chuanting in the middle, although the feather arrows could not "shoot" here, but they were all A look of worry.

Pulling away the guards standing in front of him, Sun Chuanting looked stern, and said loudly: "Beat the drum and tell the whole army. This commander stands here to live and die with everyone. Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed and pardoned!"

Many people in the Ming army were "shot" and some were even "shot" to death, but the comrades around them were as if they hadn't seen it. They prepared in an orderly manner according to their usual training.

After two rounds of arrow rain, the formation of the Ming army suddenly changed, and the shield players quickly retreated, replaced by the Shenji Battalion, the trump card that Sun Chuanting had been hiding all along, finally made his move at this time.

Three people form a row, and ten thousand gunners are lined up neatly. They look at the flying feathers and arrows, and the armor on their bodies can effectively defend against bows and arrows.On the left side of the team, an officer held a flag in his hand, waved it downward desperately, and said loudly: "Let it go!"

For a while, there was a lot of gunfire on the battlefield, and the three echelons fired in turn, forming an airtight curtain in front of the Ming army's formation.Jian slave cavalry who just rushed up.Whether it was a man or a war horse, they all fell down like harvesting wheat.In an instant, the Jiannu cavalry who rushed into the range of the Ming army's muskets were shot and killed. [

Standing behind the formation, Nurhachi's eyes were about to pop out at this moment. Although he knew about the firecrackers of the Ming Dynasty, he had never seen such a powerful firecracker.With such dense rain, the cavalry became a veritable target.

As if sounding the death knell for the cavalry, the roar of artillery suddenly sounded in the camp of the Ming army.Five hundred guns roared angrily.

"Mingjin, hurry up, let the people in front withdraw!" Nurhachi blushed, and loudly ordered the guards on the side.

"Father Khan, you can't! You can't withdraw the troops. Although the Ming army is under heavy artillery fire, as long as we rush to the Ming army's formation, then we can still win. But if we retreat, will we have to sacrifice our lives next time?" It was Huang Taiji's seventh son, Aixinjueluo Abatai.At this time, although his face was very painful, the gaze in his eyes was very firm.

Seeing that Nurhachi did not continue to give orders, Abatai said quickly: "Father Khan, we didn't expect the Ming army to have such sharp firearms. But we can't retreat either. The Mongols are watching from behind. If we retreat, we will think about it next time." It is difficult to concentrate the troops. Now the whole army must be pressed, as long as we break into the Ming army formation, we will be camped!"

At this time, the battle on both sides also fell into anxiety. Under the leadership of Lu Xiangsheng and Cao Wenzhao, the cavalry of the Ming army fought bravely.Everyone scrambles to be first.However, under the leadership of Dorgon and Daishan, Jiannu's cavalry was naturally not to be outdone, and the two sides fought inextricably.

Although Dorgon's side has a large number of people, the Ming army's side is well equipped and assisted by spearmen, so it can be said that its combat effectiveness is extraordinary.Although it is still impossible to tell the winner, but after a long time, the Ming army may still not be able to do it.

Nurhachi was a little hesitant at first.However, when he saw someone rushing into the Ming army formation, he finally made up his mind.Raising the knife in his hand high, Nurhachi said loudly: "The whole army is on top! Annihilate the Ming army!"

Immediately, all the people around Nurhachi rushed up, but there were still more than 1 people still there.These are the personal guards of Nurhachi and the Mongolian leaders.They didn't all go up unless something irreparable happened.

Seeing Jiannu rushing up, Sun Chuanting knew that the last moment had come, so he raised the knife in his hand and said loudly: "Rush up, wipe out Jiannu!" The people of the Ming army who had been waiting behind also rushed up. , The two sides quickly fought together, this must be a fierce battle.

Seeing that the two sides were strangling together, Nurhachi finally showed a smile. He knew that as long as his cavalry rushed back and forth a few times, the Ming army would surely be defeated.Although this team is a rare elite of the Ming army, they cannot escape the fate of defeat.As long as this Ming army is defeated, he can move freely and horizontally in the territory of Daming, invincible.

But soon he made a mistake. The cavalry who were supposed to rush over like the wind were caught in the formation of the Ming army.It's like riding a horse in the water, very stagnant.

After staring intently for a while, Nurhachi finally saw something.These infantrymen of the Ming army were in a group, some held spears, some held shields, and some held broadswords, and they cooperated very well with each other.Although it has not yet reached the same level, it is already very rare.

This seemingly simple formation seems to be very powerful, and it seems to be specially designed for cavalry.Not only can it reduce the horse's speed so that it cannot charge, but it can also effectively kill horses and soldiers.After looking at it for a while, Nurhachi's face became very embarrassed, and said: "It's actually a mandarin duck formation, the Qi family army's mandarin duck formation, how is this possible?"

Nurhachi read it right, this is Qi Jiguang's mandarin duck formation, and it is Qi Jiguang's mandarin duck formation specially designed to fight cavalry.Sun Chuanting once studied the battle formation of infantry against cavalry, hoping to be invincible with infantry against cavalry.But before he started researching, Emperor Tianqi had already told him the method, which was Qi Jiguang's mandarin duck formation. [

After reading it, Sun Chuanting was naturally amazed. Although he has read a lot of poetry and books, he has also read a lot of military books, but Qi Jiguang's "Records of Military Training".This time he dared to confront Jiannu head-on, firstly because he had already been "forced" and had no other choice, and secondly, Sun Chuanting also had the confidence.

Sun Chuanting would not dare to do so if he was a new soldier who had never been to the battlefield, but these people were all veterans who had fought with him, so Sun Chuanting was naturally careful.

The battle gradually became anxious, but the Ming army, which was at a disadvantage in numbers, was gradually exhausted. Sun Chuanting knew that he had to use his last foreshadowing.Glancing at the guards beside him, Sun Chuanting ordered: "Command General Qi. Order him to attack quickly without delay!"

Not long after the order was passed on, a cavalry suddenly rushed out from the right side of the Ming army, led by official Qi Jin.Behind him was Wu Sangui, more than 5000 Qi's troops were like a rainbow, they ignored the two sides fighting, and their goal was Nurhachi at the back.

Seeing a Ming army rushing towards him.Nurhachi frowned suddenly. He didn't expect that the Ming army still had a force at this time.He didn't dare to be careless in the slightest. Being able to be the last team, the combat power of this team might not be low.

Nurhachi quickly sent an order, and the 1 horses around him quickly formed a defensive formation, waiting for the cavalry of the Ming army.

No nonsense.Both sides greet each other with weapons in their hands. After the bows and arrows and three-eyed guns are all useless, the two sides still have to fight hand-to-hand.But no one expected that when the two sides were fighting, the Ming army actually threw out the three-eyed blunderbuss in their hands, throwing it out as a throwing weapon.

This moment stunned Nurhachi's troops, and many of them were thrown to the ground.The original team of more than 1 people shrank by [-] in an instant.Under Nurhachi's unbelievable gaze, the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty pulled out a knife from the neck of the horse, which once again stunned Nurhachi.

This kind of way is very similar to the Japanese sword, but it is somewhat different, and Nurhachi doesn't quite understand it.In Nurhachi's impression, Japanese knives have always been synonymous with sharpness, but he didn't expect this kind of knives to be equipped by all the troops.

Hand-to-hand combat soon ensues.The Qi family army was elite, but Nurhachi was not a vegetarian anymore. As the pro-army of each leader, he was naturally the bravest.The battle here has entered into a fierce battle from the very beginning, and both sides are bloodshot.

Sun Chuanting looked at the battlefield with a serious face, and stuck the knife on the ground with some annoyance. He didn't expect things to turn out like this.Originally thought that his Shenji Battalion would be able to repel Jiannu.In this way, he can chase after Jiannu.

Unexpectedly, he underestimated Jianu, and Sun Chuanting knew very well in his heart that there were few people on his side.If it really goes on like this, the one who loses in the end must be himself.But now I can't withdraw, I can only bite the bullet and bear it.

Looking up at the sky, Sun Chuanting seemed to see his own defeat, shook his head with a wry smile, and murmured: "Your Majesty, I have failed you!"

The road to heaven and man, just when the Ming army showed signs of decline, the appearance of a group of troops completely changed the situation of both sides on the battlefield.Maybe some luck is really needed in war, this is what Sun Chuanting often mentioned in the future.

This group of troops appeared behind Nurhachi. There were not many people, only three thousand, but they were all three thousand cavalry.The leader was a middle-aged general with a beard and a machete in his hand. He led the people behind him and rushed up.

Seeing the reinforcements, Qi Jin's face immediately became happy, because he knew the person who came, and it was Ji Liao's chief soldier Mangui.Behind him came his best troops, his cavalry.

In the last battle of Zunhua, Mangui suffered heavy losses. This time he learned his lesson, and when he heard Jiannu's invasion, he immediately retreated his troops into Zunhua City.Jiannu besieged Zunhua City, and Mangui defended it desperately, but at the most critical moment, Mangui did not let the 3000 people go up.

After learning about Jiannu this morning, Mangui persuaded the governor Wang Yuanya to leave Zunhua City with the 3000 troops.In fact, Mangui has been waiting for an opportunity. His 3000 people are too few, and it may not be effective if he really rushes up.But when it came out at this time, these 3000 people became the last straw that broke the balance.

Nurhachi, who was attacked on both sides, was obviously overwhelmed. Qi Jin was in the front and Mangui was in the back. Neither of these two people was easy to deal with.For a moment the situation took a turn for the worse, Qi's army was in full swing, and Qi Jin shouted: "Living wild boar skin, ten million gold, you're a Marquis!"

Many people saw that Nurhachi was in distress, Dorgon and Daishan all wanted to go up to rescue, but Lu Xiangsheng and Cao Wenzhao naturally would not give them this chance.It's impossible to get back to help if you've been pestering by your side all the time.

However, some people were able to go back, and they also went back, but this was the beginning of defeat.

Among the troops attacking the middle road, there were only [-] Eight Banners disciples, and the rest were all Mongolian cavalry. This is why Abatai said that to Nurhachi.Seeing that their leader was in danger, they all went back to rescue them.

Although the Ming army in the middle could fight the cavalry, they couldn't stop them from running away.He could only watch helplessly as they returned to the army.But Sun Chuanting behind him breathed a sigh of relief, with ecstasy on his face.

"Jiannu was defeated! Go up and capture the wild boar skin alive, and today will be the day of the feudal lordship and worship!" The Ming army's momentum was like a rainbow for a while, and the whole army pressed forward and pursued.

Nurhachi, who was organizing a battle, was stunned when he saw the cavalry retreating in front, and then dizzy for a while.He fell headfirst off the horse.

"Khan fell off the horse!" The people around Nurhachi yelled while helping Nurha onto the horse.Without Nurhachi, coupled with the pressing force of the Ming army, Jiannu's defeat finally began.

All of a sudden, the people on the battlefield turned their backs and ran northward.Dorgon and Daishan, who were fighting fiercely, no longer have the intention to continue fighting at this time.He took his men and horses and chased them directly.

Naturally, the Ming army would not let go of the opportunity to beat the dog in the water. Cao Wenzhao and Lu Xiangsheng led the cavalry in hot pursuit.However, they are not the fastest. Man Gui and Qi Jin are in the lead, and the two command the troops to chase and kill.

The rest of the infantry, except the artillerymen and the troops of the Shenji Battalion, all pulled out their horses from the camp, and even though they were not as good as war horses, they all chased after them.Some people rode a green mule.It doesn't matter whether they can catch up or not, anyway, they follow the brigade to catch up.For a while, the Ming army seemed to be capturing prisoners all over the place, and this battle was a big victory!

Without giving an order, Sun Chuanting suddenly sat on the ground, took off his helmet and put it aside.At this time, Sun Chuanting's whole body was drenched with sweat, and white steam was rising from his head, but his face was full of smiles.

"Marshal, please find a doctor to show you!" The guard on the side was very worried.Sun Chuanting's state does not seem to be good.

After waving his hand, Sun Chuanting said in a deep voice, "Let people go rescue the wounded, and all those who didn't go after them, go!"

"Yes, my lord!" The guard agreed and went to order. Sun Chuanting sat where he was, looking at the battlefield full of corpses.Smelling the smell of gunpowder smoke and blood, he suddenly burst out laughing.But soon it changed from laughing to crying, hoarse!

No one knew why Sun Chuanting cried, and many people speculated afterwards.This may be Sun Chuanting's soldier who died in grief.But Sun Chuanting knew that he was not sad, but weeping with joy.

Sun Chuanting knew that from today onwards, Daming's weakness was gone forever!The days of being bullied since Wanli are over, and the Ming Dynasty is expected to rejuvenate!

After tidying up the battlefield, Sun Chuanting led people into Zunhua City, gathered the Ming army, lightened the casualties and merits, and left Zunhua with the most important memorial, heading straight for the capital.

Since Sun Chuanting led the capital to leave, everyone in the capital was waiting for news, whether it was the common people or the officials.

In the imperial court, no one mentioned this team, as if he was not going to fight.However, the transfer of food, grass and weapons is still very active, but people seem to be deliberately forgetting about this team.But without mentioning it on the surface, no one really forgot about this team.

However, the recent wind direction in the court is not very good. Many officials have all died down, and the speech officials seem to be strangled chickens, and they all shut their mouths.However, it was not quiet in the court. People kept writing letters to impeach Sun Chengzong, but they were all tentative memorials of little people.

Emperor Tianqi didn't seem to have any reaction, and he ignored it after keeping the memorial, as if he had no attitude towards this matter.But in the eyes of those with a heart, no attitude is an attitude.

Since then, the crimes of Shenhe Sun Chengzong have changed from corruption and arbitrariness to deception and wolf ambition, and finally to adultery and slavery and conspiracy.

Originally thought that such a memorial would make the Emperor Tianqi furious, but unexpectedly, there was still no news, which made everyone outside murmur!

What is Emperor Apocalypse doing?Does he know these things?of course I know.However, Emperor Tianqi hadn't read the memorial for a long time. Except for military newspapers and very urgent matters, Emperor Tianqi generally didn't read it.Why?Because Queen Zhang is about to give birth!

In real history, Empress Zhang and her sons were not incapable of having children, but most of them died young or had miscarriages.Although many people said that Wei Zhongxian was the victim, now that Wei Zhongxian is gone, Emperor Tianqi is still worried.Now Emperor Tianqi stays in Kunning Palace all day, but fortunately no one in the palace sends out news, otherwise someone will write a letter again.

Glancing at Wang Chengen standing behind him, Emperor Tianqi lowered his voice and said, "Is there any news? Is there any military report in Liaodong and Northwest?"

"Go back to the emperor, there is no news!" Wang Chengen quickly bowed and replied, Emperor Tianqi seems to be very irritable these days, Wang Chengen has to be careful to serve him.

Nodding his head, although he was anxious, Emperor Tianqi also knew that there was no need to rush.After pondering for a while, Emperor Tianqi asked again: "Is there any news from Jinyiwei and Dongchang? Didn't Luo Sigong say that there was a major breakthrough last time?"

"Returning to the emperor, there is no news these days, but Eunuch Wei and Nubei from Dongchang said a few days ago that it seems to be almost the same!" Wang Chengen lowered his head and said in a low voice. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point to vote and monthly pass.
