Daming Military Empire

Chapter 49
At this time, in the dense forest three miles to the north of Zunhua City, the army of one hundred thousand Empress Jin waited quietly with his standing horse, while Huang Taiji stared at the direction of the north gate with a telescope, without saying a word.

Finally, the north gate opened, and about a hundred strong men dressed as civilians quickly stood on both sides of the city gate, and a dozen of them threw the torches in their hands on both sides of the official road in front of the north gate.

Seeing this scene, Huang Taiji's face that had been stern all day finally relaxed. He was about to get on his horse, but suddenly remembered something, and raised his binoculars to take a closer look.

It seems a bit wrong, why is there no damage on this city wall?
He pondered for a while, and bowed to Erbeleta behind him: "Second brother, you rush in with the yellow flag."

Hearing this, Tabai was inexplicably surprised. He can be said to be the most useless of these Baylors. The other Baylors are all leading the army alone, and the scenery is incomparable. Only he is useless. He can only follow the eighth brother Huang Taiji all day to pick up some cheap money. , Never led an army alone to plunder happily.

This time the eighth brother actually let him go first, this is a city of the Han people, there is an incredible amount of property in it, the first one will definitely earn a lot of money, how can he not be excited!Mine, all mine, gold, silver, beauties, cattle, all mine!

As soon as Huang Taiji's words fell, he howled: "Xianghuangqi listens to the order, all mount your horses, and follow me!"

After howling, he immediately got on his horse and rushed out. The 1 horses with yellow flags behind him also got on their horses and rushed towards Zunhua City after him.

Huang Taiji's face is full of black lines behind him, this is a sneak attack, do you understand sneak attack?Are you so rushed?Anyway, tell them to wrap the horseshoes first!

He was about to raise his hand to call Tabai back, but after thinking for a while, he put his hand down again. This second brother is a bit wrong, but this time it is just right. If there is an ambush, he should rush up sneakily and blatantly. What's the difference up there?If there is no ambush, it will only take a little more effort to rush up like this.He really didn't pay attention to those veteran soldiers in Zunhua City. The gates of the city were opened. He didn't believe that Zunhua could not be taken down.

Tabai was so excited, he slapped the horse's buttocks like he was going crazy, and howled indiscriminately, like a psychopath who took stimulants.

The elite of the Xianghuang Banner was also influenced by him, and they started howling, and the golden iron cavalry of the [-]th generation turned into bandits gathering in the mountains and forests.

Sun Chengzong looked at these lunatics inexplicably through the binoculars, shook his head, and said in a loud voice: "Order, hang the people below up, close the back door of the urn city, and prepare to roll stones and beat trees."

The soldier pretending to be Hou Jin's spy had just been hoisted up here, and Tabai had already rushed into the north gate first.

As soon as he entered the north gate, he was dumbfounded. Why is there still a city wall inside?
Sun Chengzong didn't give him time to think. He saw that almost half of the people had rushed into the urn city, so he ordered loudly: "Roll the stone and beat the wood."

Immediately, someone jumped out from the top of the city gate, and pushed down all the rolling stones and trees that had been prepared. Immediately, an obstacle nearly one meter high was piled up at the gate of the city, and the 1 horses inlaid with yellow flags were divided into two sections.

Jin outside the city was startled and started to rein in their horses one after another. You bumped into me and I bumped into you, making a mess.

Sun Chengzong ordered loudly again: "Pour oil and light the fire."

The tower above the gate of the city gate fell down again. I don’t know how much waste oil was thrown down. The last few torches were thrown down, and the entire gate of the city was instantly turned into a sea of ​​flames.

At this time, the sturdiness of the golden iron cavalry was reflected. The golden army outside the city did not retreat, but took off the bows and arrows on their backs one after another, preparing to shoot arrows at the city wall.The Jin army in the urn also ignored the fire at the gate of the city, and even urged their horses to jump directly onto the fire, and they were able to jump out of the gate!

Naturally, Sun Chengzong would not let them run away like this. He immediately ordered: "The first team, the second team, pull out the grenade, and throw it into the golden army outside the city. The third team, the fourth team, pull out the grenade, and throw it into the city." Golden Army"

At once, thousands of black shadows the size of fists flew out from the city wall and fell into the army with yellow banners inside and outside the city. "Boom boom boom boom" burst of flames, and then there was a miserable howl:

"Ah, what?"

"Ah, it hurts to death!"

"Ah, ah, ah, ah."

Some of the war horses were seriously injured, and they rammed into the crowd. The rear golden cavalry on them couldn't hold back, and the entire Xianghuang Banner army was finally in chaos.

Sun Chengzong ordered again: "All archers, face the outside of the city gate, and prepare for throwing at close range."

Immediately, there were nearly [-] archers standing in five neat rows, facing the outside of the city gate, drawing their bows and shooting arrows, straight up diagonally.

Sun Chengzong shouted loudly: "Shoot."

"Swish, swish, swish..." A rain of arrows covered the Jin army outside the city like a dark cloud. Countless Jin soldiers were hit by arrows, and the howling sound resounded throughout the north of the city.

The Jin army outside the city finally collapsed, turned their horses and fled north.

Sun Chengzong ordered again: "All archers, shoot ten rounds quickly into the urn city."

"Swish, swish, swish..." The rain of arrows on the city wall continued to cover the inside of the urn, and there were nearly [-] post-golden cavalry inside, but they were covered with steel needles due to the blast from the grenade, and they were so painful that they couldn't even sit on the horse Stable, the wounded horses ran around, so that they had no chance to take out their bows and arrows to fight back, and could only squeeze desperately towards the gate of the city.

The gate of the city was so big, and less than 1000 people could escape in the end. At least [-] post-golden cavalry were shot to death in the urn.

At this time, Tabai led the remnant army back to the woods hidden by Hou Jin's army. Although he was wearing armor, he was bombed with steel needles everywhere on his hands, legs, and face, and he grinned in pain. , Desperate to death.

Huang Taiji couldn't believe his eyes. The [-] iron cavalry who rushed up howling just now ran back howling in the blink of an eye. What's going on? Is Zunhua city haunted?

He stepped forward and grabbed Tabai, and asked loudly, "Second brother, what's going on?"

Tabai was in so much pain that he was almost convulsed, he took a breath and replied, "Hiss, there is an ambush, hiss, there is a hidden weapon!"

hidden weapon?Only then did Huang Taiji notice the steel needles on Tabai's face. He gently pulled out one and put it in front of his eyes for a closer look. He couldn't help wondering, "What kind of hidden weapon is this, a steel needle? Such a rough steel needle How did it come out?"

While helping Tabai pull out the steel needle, he asked, "Did you see the hidden weapon they used to launch clearly?"

After the steel needles were pulled out, Tabai felt much better. He thought about it for a while, and replied affirmatively: "It wasn't shot out, it was Hong Tianlei. These steel needles were blown out of Hong Tianlei."

Thunderbolt?Huang Taiji wasn't too worried, he had to use a matchlock as a guide, he couldn't throw it very far, and it would blow up in the air if thrown far away, and it was relatively easy to defend against, and it was fine for a sneak attack. I don't know how to erect a shield. Once this thing is seen, it is useless.

Naturally, he didn't expect that this was a flintlock thunderbolt, and there was no need to ignite it at all. He could throw it however he wanted, whenever he wanted, it was impossible to guard against!
Huang Taiji took such a big suffocation, so naturally he wouldn't just let it go, after helping Tabai pull out the steel needles on his face, he immediately shouted: "Order Zheng Baiqi to stay and take care of the wounded soldiers, and all the others get on their horses and follow I'm going to flatten Zunhua City."

The messengers scattered away immediately, and soon Huang Taiji led an army of [-] to slowly press towards Zunhua City.

When he came to a mile outside the city, Huang Taiji raised his hand and told all the soldiers to stand by, and then took out his binoculars to look at the city wall.

As soon as he pointed the binoculars at the gate tower, he saw a veteran with gray hair and beard standing there majesticly, looking at him faintly.

Sun Chengzong!The empress dowager couldn't help but gasped. If there was someone he was afraid of in Daming, it was only Sun Chengzong. It was the Ningjin defense line built by Sun Chengzong that prevented him from advancing an inch for three years. Jurchen didn't know how many warriors were buried here Under the city of Ningyuan, this Sun Chengzong is simply his nemesis!
Is that the case?Huang Taiji retreated a bit, he really didn't want to face Sun Chengzong, he didn't even want to touch the Ning Jin line of defense now, he didn't expect to meet this nemesis here again.

But when he thought that he was bringing a hundred thousand cavalry, he became courageous again. He was afraid of a bird. Now that Zunhua City can't be captured, I won't stop attacking it first. I don't believe you, Sun Chengzong, dare not go to the capital to escort you. I will turn around and seize Zunhua City after you leave. Do you dare to chase after you with that little cavalry of Daming?

Thinking of his tactics of smacking east and west, he couldn't help but feel relieved, looking at Sun Chengzong who was calm on the city wall, he was really angry, and before he left, he couldn't help cursing: "Sun Chengzong, you old man, how dare you bully me! "

Sun Chengzong curled his lips, pulled over Jinyiwei Qianhu who was next to him, and whispered a few words in his ear, and that Qianhu immediately shouted: "Bold, you, a little commander of the Jianzhou Guard, dare to insult Lord Superintendent, you don't want to live anymore!" ?"

Huang Taiji was so angry, he didn't expect this old guy to be so swearing, and he didn't bother to talk to him anymore, so he said a harsh sentence: "I'm going to the capital now, you are going to collect the body of your little emperor."

Sun Chengzong glanced at him disdainfully, and whispered a few words to the thousand households.The thousand households shouted again: "Master Sun said, you should take your people back to Jianzhou quickly, otherwise it will become more than [-] corpses, and it will be very troublesome to clean up."

When Huang Taiji heard the words, his face was flushed with anger, he was really uncomfortable arguing with these literati!

He glared at Sun Chengzong bitterly, and yelled: "Go."

Then, he turned his horse's head and galloped away.
