Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Because Wu Shigong and Baduli had scruples about each other, when the two sides were confronting each other, suddenly, there was a loud noise from the direction of Luanzhou City.This is the sound of artillery roaring.

The sound of the artillery was the artillery team testing the artillery.I learned from Shumo that after the artillery was about to hit the top of the city wall, Liang Hui, the captain of the artillery team, immediately made arrangements.Liang Hui decided to operate a three-pound artillery himself, and the other three-pound artillery was also operated by the gunner with the best shooting skills in the artillery team.

And this shooting has high requirements on the shooting accuracy of the artillery.The shells of the artillery should hit the battlements on the top of the city wall just right.The masonry at the battlement mouth was smashed with shells, causing the masonry to splash and cause casualties to the Jin army.

The shell was fired too high, and the shell flew into Luanzhou City; the shell was fired too low, and the shell hit the thick city wall, and the shooting effect was not very good.Moreover, between the impact points of the shells of the two artillery pieces, there is still a gap to allow the rushing cars to pass.Therefore, the requirements for shooting are particularly high.

Therefore, Liang Hui and the others could only constantly adjust the shooting angles before Qin Liangyu launched the general attack, make marks, and prepare for artillery shooting during the general attack.

But just such a sporadic test of artillery shells frightened the Hou Jin army in Luanzhou City.Not to mention that the soldiers of the Hou Jin Army at the bottom were in a panic, even the generals of the Hou Jin Army in the city were flustered.

Namutai called Turge and Tang Gudai to his side, and said to them quietly: "The Ming army has used artillery. To be honest, I think this Luanzhou City is dangerous. You go and make arrangements, and let the people with the blue flag Don't disperse everyone, you can go together when the time comes. Squeeze any surrendered Ming soldiers and herdsmen to the south wall. But don't let them find out what we're doing."

Turge and Tang Gudai nodded in agreement quickly, and then went down immediately to make arrangements.To be honest, don't look at what Houjin preached that Manchuria and Mongolia are one. When it comes to the critical moment, the Mongols are still a cannon fodder.

After Huang Taiji seized the four cities of Yongping, he wanted to use these four cities as an enclave of the Houjin in the pass, so that when the Houjin often came to the inland in the future, they would serve as a passage and a base for the Houjin army. of.

Therefore, at the beginning, apart from shaving the soldiers and civilians who surrendered in the four cities of Yongping, Huang Taiji did not do much looting.

But after Huang Taiji led the main force of the Houjin Army back to Shengjing, the Eight Banners soldiers stationed in the four cities of Yongping plundered more and more.In the end, those who got the news that the Great Wall pass was broken by the Houjin army, the Jurchen Po and Mongolian herdsmen who did not accompany the main force of the Houjin army entered the pass.They are all plundering with their hands and feet free.The area of ​​Yongping Four Cities has been turned into a hell on earth.

But it's not over yet.In the end, Amin's Xianglan Banner was stationed in the four cities of Yongping.When Amin discovered that the Ming army was going to use a large number of main forces to attack, he had already made plans to save the main force of the Xianglan Banner and withdraw to the outside of the pass.

Therefore, under the encouragement and indulgence of the leaders of Amin and the blue flags, the Hou Jin army carried out a final raid on all the areas near the four cities of Yongping.Make this place so uninhabited.

However, Xianglan Banner's gains were indeed particularly large. Apart from transporting most of their belongings and population outside the pass, some of them were concentrated in Yongping City.

But even so, in Luanzhou City, apart from Huang Taiji leaving a large amount of food and grass for the defenders of Luanzhou City, there are also many belongings that the soldiers of the Houjin Army who defended the city had no time to transport away.

Therefore, Turge and Tang Gudai now, in addition to gathering the bannermen of the inlaid blue flag, must also gather all the soft and soft things that can be carried, and prepare to take them away together.As for heavy items such as grain and grass, they can only give up.Of course, if you have time, you must burn all these heavy items.

Not to mention the situation in Luanzhou city.After Wu Shigong and Baduli heard the sound of the artillery, they both thought that Qin Liangyu's white-armed soldiers had begun to attack the city.

Of course, Wu Shigong's thoughts at this time were still to maintain the status quo and maintain a state of confrontation between the two sides.But Baduli couldn't sit still.He immediately sent five or six white-armored soldiers to bypass Wu Shigong's army at high speed, and went to the distance of Luanzhou City to observe the state of the white-armored soldiers' siege, so that he could keep abreast of the situation in Luanzhou City.

Then, Baduli took all the rear Jin troops to turn around and entered the farmland on the right side of the road to see if he could attack Wu Shigong's army from Wu Shigong's side.

But Baduli's action immediately caused Wu Shigong to panic.Wu Shigong received the order not to let a Tartar go to the city of Luanzhou, but just now five or six soldiers of the Houjin Army passed by him.But those Tartars were obviously there as spies, so the problem wasn't too big.

But now that all the Tartars on the opposite side were going to bypass his defense line, Wu Shigong felt very nervous.So Wu Shigong misjudged the movement of the Hou Jin army, and he immediately ordered his army to drive towards the farmland on the left to stop the Hou Jin army.

But this action of Wu Shigong immediately showed his flaws.You know, Baduli wants to avoid melee as much as possible, so when Baduli's Houjin army circles around, Wu Shigong's army only needs to turn around, making sure that in case Baduli's Houjin army wants to go around, his own army The attitude of going to chase will do.If you do that, Baduli will never go around, but try to find a way to defeat Wu Shigong's army.

At that time, Wu Shigong could completely rely on the wooden fence in front of him to hold a dominant position in the battle.But now Wu Shigong wanted to stop the Hou Jin Army, so he had to leave the wooden fence and drive in the direction of the Hou Jin Army.

"Huh?" Seeing the actions of Wu Shigong's army, Badu Li was pleasantly surprised.In the front, Baduli saw Wu Shigong's army lined up behind the wooden fence, thinking that Wu Shigong had seen through his thoughts, so Baduli did not dare to act rashly, but could only confront Wu Shigong.But now Wu Shigong's move made Baduli understand: So the Ming army in front of him didn't dare to let him pass!

It can be seen from this that Wu Shigong has little experience in commanding operations.He simply does not know how to interpret the situation of all parties on the battlefield in order to judge the actions that the opponent may take.

So it can be said that the current Wu Shigong is not a qualified military commander at all, at most he is a commander of a small unit, responsible for completing the orders given by his superiors.

But Baduli's surprise was not limited to this one, because Wu Shigong's army started to move, and the neat queue just now became a little loose.Those soldiers drawn from other thousands of households had only undergone military training for a few months at most during the march. The whole formation seemed a bit chaotic.

"Uncle, why are you so happy?" Seeing Baduli's smile, his nephew Muta asked Baduli.This time Badulli took the 19-year-old Muta to the battle, also wanting to earn some military merits for this nephew, and of course let Muta learn some things about the battle.

Therefore, Badulli explained to Muta: "Just now when my uncle saw that the Ming army on the opposite side was in order, he thought it was a strong army. Unexpectedly, this movement showed the prototype. It is really fighting eagles all day long, but I was blinded by an eagle! You see, the Ming army in that phalanx is better, but the Ming army in this phalanx is not good. After a while, we will first defeat the Ming army in this phalanx."

While explaining to Muta, Baduri pointed to Muta.The phalanx he was referring to was a phalanx with as many as 600 people, all composed of soldiers drawn from other thousand households.

Baduli immediately issued an order to make Hou Jin's army retreat. He wanted to draw Wu Shigong's army out completely, so as to prevent Wu Shigong's army from retreating behind the wooden fence during the battle.And Wu Shigong was completely led by Baduli at this time.He directed the army to go further and further away from the wooden fence.

Seeing that it was almost the same, the Jin army stopped after Batu politely, and when he saw it, the Jin army stopped, and Wu Shigong also quickly ordered the army to stop.Line up as much as possible.At this time, the distance between the two sides has been opened to a distance of about [-] steps.

Badu Li issued an order to a Niulu Erzhen, asking him to lead his Niulu forward.Baduli himself led the remaining two Niulu followed closely behind.

That Niulu really divided his Niulu cavalry into three rows, and the white armor soldiers in Niulu were assigned to the first and third rows.Then, the three rows of the Hou Jin army trotted towards the phalanx of 600 people.

As soon as they saw that the target of the Jin army's attack was themselves, the soldiers in this phalanx began to tremble a little.Seeing this situation, Yu Ji, who commanded the phalanx, shouted loudly: "Remember, just follow the usual training movements. Only in this way can you survive."

Then, Yu Ji walked to the middle of the phalanx, drew out his waist knife, waved and shouted: "No one can escape! I am standing here today, defeated, this is the place where I died." Seeing Yu Ji's desperate appearance The soldiers also calmed down, and they followed the usual training movements, clenched the spears in their hands, and formed a tight formation.

After these three rows, the Jin army arrived at a place about two hundred steps away from the phalanx, and the last two rows stopped their horses.The Hou Jin army in the first row immediately moved forward to a hundred paces, still got off their horses and started shooting arrows.

Seeing that the Jin army was about to shoot arrows, the gunners in front of the phalanx immediately ran forward under the order.But within a few steps, the first round of arrows had already been shot, and a dozen gunners were shot and fell to the ground immediately.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the musketeers also opened fire one after another.But this is only a medium-sized firecracker, and the range is only fifty steps. Those firecrackers just ran a distance of about twenty steps.So the range of the firecracker is definitely not enough.

But just like that, the firecrackers without accuracy also killed and wounded four or five of the Hou Jin army.This also caused some confusion in the Hou Jin Army.But when they saw the musketeers shoot a round, they immediately ran back to the back of the formation. There was no threat, and the golden army's arrows shot towards the soldiers in the square formation.
