Ming Zuo

Chapter 177
Amin is serious about running away.

Since becoming a top four Baylor, Amin has not been very interested in fighting.

At the beginning when his father Shuerhaqi and Nurhachi had a quarrel, Amin chose to abandon his father and follow his father. Not only was he not executed, but he gradually gained Nurhachi's trust.

Later, in Nurhachi's eyes, he was as much loved as his own son.

Because of this, Amin was able to compete with Nurhachi's sons without losing the wind, and he also possessed great power.

Amin's thoughts are...

Anyway, I can't be a big sweater, but I also made great contributions back then.Daikin is able to have what it is today, I owe a great deal of credit.So I'm special, okay?

As for his idea, in reality, it is really correct.

He took refuge in Nurhachi, guaranteed the unity of the Jianzhou Jurchens, and allowed Nurhachi to preserve the foundation for hegemony.

Otherwise, let alone Nurhachi conquering the Haixi Jurchen, it is not certain whether he can settle the Jianzhou Jurchen internally.

Unfortunately, A Min met the ambitious Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji is different from Nurhachi.

Nurhachi just felt that the tribe could not survive anymore and was bullied by Daming badly, so he wanted to rebel.

Huang Taiji felt that being a sweater was not enough.

He wants to be emperor.

Since you want to be an emperor, you should keep your promises and make the world respect you.

What's the matter with the Eighth Baylor pointing at the side?

Therefore, from the first day when he ascended the position of Great Khan, what Huang Taiji thought about was how to weaken the Eight Great Baylors and establish his own unique authority.

His first target was Amin.

Because Amin is not Nurhachi's own son, naturally the internal relationship is a bit worse.

Secondly, Amin is rebellious and rebellious, and doesn't take him as a profuse sweat in his eyes.Especially when he conquered North Korea, Amin's delay in returning made Huang Taiji very nervous.

This kind of Amin is really suitable for sacrificial knives.

When he brought huge benefits to the tribe by entering Daming and his reputation reached the peak, Huang Taiji began to attack.

After returning to Shenyang, he immediately ordered Amin to go to Guannei to replace Abatai and others to coordinate the war.

But the army was brought back by him, and only more than [-] people were left for Amin, which obviously had bad intentions.

Amin naturally saw it, but he had no choice but to die, and of course he didn't want to die.

Amin felt that even if he disobeyed the order and abandoned the city to escape, at most he would be reprimanded by Huang Taiji.

So when Luanzhou was lost, he immediately called back all the people from Qian'an and Zunhua, and he didn't even want to stop for a moment, and ran northward after Yongping slaughtered the city.

On the way, scouts rushed over in a panic.

"Report to Lord Belle, there is a Ming army at Qingshui Pass."

Everyone was shocked.

"Didn't the Ming army at Qingshuiguan surrender, and they rebelled again?"

Turger asked suspiciously.

Houjin's scouts are professional and immediately told the situation.

"It's not the original guards, but the new Ming army. All the firearms used, and some big guns."

Namtai was worried.

"How many people are there in the Ming army?"

The scout reported the situation that made everyone feel a little more at ease.

"About two thousand."

This number made Amin make a misjudgment that he regretted for the rest of his life.

"Ming people are cowardly, and two thousand soldiers will definitely not be my opponent. Advance immediately, break through and go home."

Others did not object.

Now if you want to exit the Great Wall, there is no other way except Qingshui Pass.And their thoughts are the same as Amin, more than two thousand Ming troops are not enough for them to kill.

The Hou Jin army moved quickly and rushed to Guanxia in the evening.

Amin originally thought that the Ming army would defend the city, but when he arrived at the scene, he discovered that the Ming army was actually forming an array outside the city, and all the banks on both sides of the Shahe River were arrayed.

"Hahaha, when this group of Ming army generals is captured, I must ask him carefully, how did he come to have such courage?"

Bao Chengxian hurriedly reminded: "Big Baylor, don't underestimate the enemy. You see, the Ming people have deployed big guns on the mountain."

A Min looked down on the Han people very much, and snorted coldly: "What's the use of these big guns? This general doesn't even know how to fight. The big guns are so far away, I'm afraid they will fall on their own heads."

The rest of the generals burst into laughter, thinking that it must be so.

Chakara begged for orders: "Da Bei Le, let the last general take the lead and destroy this group of Ming troops."

Amin did not agree.

It is true that he looked down on the Ming army, but he was a veteran on the battlefield, so it was impossible for him to disregard the rules of the battlefield.

Furthermore, every Jurchen is precious and cannot be wasted easily.

"Bao Chengxian, lead your men and horses to drive away from the Ming army in front of you. Just go in and fight inside. I will send people to respond. This battle can only be won, not defeated."

This is obviously using Bao Chengxian as cannon fodder.

But Bao Chengxian didn't have any complaints, because this has always been the case in post-Jin wars.

Unlike many people who think that Houjin relied exclusively on cavalry in combat, Houjin's main combat force was actually infantry.And divided into light infantry and heavy infantry.

The light infantry is the Han Chinese, and its main function is to attack in the first wave and consume the enemy's weapons.

Then the armored heavy infantry will step forward, destroy the enemy's fortifications, and at the same time strangle them inward, opening the way for the follow-up cavalry.

The hoplites were all Jurchens, and many wore triple armor.Unless you are lucky, the firecrackers of the Ming army will not be able to penetrate even within thirty steps.

This is the truth why the Ming army could not defeat the Jurchens in field battles.

After receiving the order, Bao Chengxian immediately organized his team and stepped forward slowly.

A Min did not watch the Han'er army go up to die, but ordered: "Turg, you lead the heavy armored infantry to follow. Once the Ming army on the opposite side has finished firing the guns, move those weird things open."

Amin didn't know that it was barbed wire, but he also knew that it was very effective in stopping cavalry.

"Shuotuo, you take the cavalry over there to form a team. After Turg opens the gap and strangles with the Ming army, listen to my order and charge."

Shuoto also went.

After such a short time, Amin has noticed more things.

"Tell everyone, this Ming army has no armor, and when they get close, they will shoot arrows at will."

Where did the fool come from, dare to fight without wearing armor, has he never died?

Following Amin's orders one after another, the Houjin Army moved quickly.

Bao Chengxian led the Han'er army to line up, holding wooden shields, pushing a van and other things, and started to advance from five miles away.

Behind them, Turg led the heavy armored infantry and slowly followed.

These hoplites are divided into two types.

The former one holds firecrackers and waits to approach the Ming army for the first wave of bombardment.

These Jurchen warriors were very brave, they dared to get as close as [-] paces before firing, which was far beyond the comparison of ordinary Ming soldiers.

Of course, their protection is better, which is the confidence to do so.

The irony is that these armors were originally from the Ming army, but the firearms of the Ming army could not penetrate such armor.

Then why can Houjin's firecrackers penetrate the armor of the Ming army?

Because the armor of the Ming army cut corners and materials, there was only one layer.

Then Jin will give the most elite heavy armored infantry to wear two or even three layers of armor. Of course, the Ming army has no choice.

At the same time that the Jin army was advancing slowly, another group of people drove the slaves and pushed the cannons into the position.

Later generations always believed that Hou Jin got the artillery after the Wuqiao mutiny Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and others surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.In fact, from the time of Nurhaci, there were cannons in the Later Jin Dynasty.

Since Huang Taiji entered the bandits, many cities were bombarded with cannons.

At this time, the Jin army was about to rush through Qingshui Pass, and all weapons were used.

On the pile of rocks in front of the pass, Zuo Menggeng stood high on it, holding a trumpet in his hand.

He knew that today's battle was the birth of the Houying.

From November last year to the present, for half a year, the rear battalion has not fought much.

Whether this new army that he has worked so hard to cultivate can transform into a powerful army in the world depends on today's battle.

There are more than [-] Houying and more than [-] Houjin.

This balance of troops is just right, neither too few will make the rear battalion useless, nor too many will exceed the range of the rear battalion.

At the same time, if these Jian slaves want to break out of the encirclement, they will definitely work hard.

In this way, it is completely possible to test the endurance of the rear battalion.

"where is this place?"

His question received a response from all the soldiers.

"Our land!"

Zuo Menggeng pointed to the approaching army formation and asked, "What are they?"

The rear battalion was murderous from top to bottom.

"robber!"

Zuo Menggeng's voice was like thunder.

"These robbers came to our homes to burn, kill, loot, abuse our wives and daughters, destroy our homes, and slaughter our relatives. Now, they have had enough prestige and want to go back with satisfaction. You tell me, can you Can't promise?"

The roars of thousands of people converged into a thunderclap.

"kill!!!!!"

All the brigades were surging with energy and blood, and stepped forward one after another, drawing out their sabers.

"Ready to fight!"

The unique horn sound of the rear battalion swept across the sky, which also opened the curtain for this battle.

The arranged rear gold cannon fired first, and among the black smoke, black iron balls pierced the sky, some missed, and some rolled into the formation of the rear camp, taking away a piece of flesh and blood.

It can be clearly seen that many soldiers were frightened by this tragic scene.

But the long-term education allowed them to still stand upright, waiting for the order to fire.

Li Xiangzhu was the one who didn't need to bear it anymore, and immediately said to the messenger: "Order the first squadron to knock off the artillery on the opposite side for me."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a roar on the other side of the river, and then countless people rushed towards the formation of the rear camp.

It turned out that Bao Chengxian's troops had already entered the attack range, and immediately ran at full speed.

Li Xiangzhu added another order.

"The rest of the artillery, aim at the follow-up heavy armored infantry, the scale is [-], three degrees five, let go!"
