Ming Zuo

Chapter 360
In mid-September, the food and grass in Dalinghe City had been cut off.

And this situation, Huang Taiji was informed immediately.

Because a businessman named Zhang Yifu ran out of the city at night with a rope falling and informed Huang Taiji of the situation in the city.

After the city ran out of food and grass, they began to kill horses.The horse meat has been eaten up, and now it has reached the point of cannibalism.

Unarmed builders and starved soldiers were used to feed their hunger.

Huang Taiji was overjoyed when he heard the news, and immediately shot a letter into the city, once again persuaded Zu Dashou to surrender.

Zu Dashou was unmoved.

He knew that Sun Chengzong would definitely come to save him.

His guess was right.

In order to rescue Zu Dashou, Sun Chengzong used all his energy, and even turned his face for this, completely suppressing Qiu Hejia and Gao Qiqian.

And this time Sun Chengzong is no longer alone, he has Zhang Chun's support.

After Zhang Chun arrived in Liaodong, he realized that the situation here had collapsed to such an extent.

Zhang Chun was furious about Qiu Hejia and Gao Qiqian's turmoil, and sent several impeachment notes to the court in a row.

However, to his despair, all these memorials went to nothing, and there was no response at all.

Not only that, Chongzhen and the court's urging documents came one after another, and the wording was stricter than the last, and there was a faint smell of blaming Zhang Chun for being afraid of moving forward.

Only then did Zhang Chun know that Chongzhen's appreciation for him turned out to be a talisman.

In desperation, he had to cooperate with Sun Chengzong to mobilize reinforcements again.

This time, after more than ten days of preparation, Sun Chengzong and Zhang Chun finally gathered more than [-] troops and set off towards Dalinghe City with a tragic heart.

The wind is Xiaoxiao and the water is cold, and the strong man is gone forever.

Standing at the head of Jinzhou City, Sun Chengzong burst into tears and wailed.

The old man knew very well that Zhang Chun would not be able to win this time.

How can the Ming army, which is less than [-] improvised, fight against the more than [-] Jin Jingbing?
When he was in a desperate situation, Zhang Chun calmed down and devoted all his mind to the battle.

On September [-], the Ming army crossed the Xiaoling River.To be safe, Zhang Chun built a position here.

As a result, after three days of waiting, the Jin army did not come to attack.

There is no way, they are reinforcements and can't wait.

On September [-], Zhang Chun led his army across the Daling River and came to Changshan, which was only fifteen miles away from Dalinghe City.

The victory or defeat of the war is never determined by generosity and blood, and there is a cruel iron law to victory or defeat.

Every move of the Ming army was always under the supervision of Houjin.

When the Ming army crossed the Daling River, Huang Taiji knew that it was time for a decisive battle.

Huang Taiji personally led Daishan, Manggurtai, Dege, Azige, Erke Chuhuer, and Xiwuli generals, together with more than [-] troops from Manchu and Mongolia.

Standing on the slope, Huang Taiji had a panoramic view of the formation of the Ming army.

Zhang Chun knew that the army he had was a mob, so in order to avoid confusion, he ordered Wu Xiang and Song Weishi to gather together to form a hedgehog formation.

Song Wei's car battalion was lined up all around, and all kinds of guns and guns covered the battlefield. Then, the shield car was in front, and the whole army moved forward slowly.

Wu Xiang's cavalry was on the left flank, both to protect the infantry and to be ready to attack at any time.

"We can't wait any longer, otherwise the enemy's shield vehicles will move forward and it will be difficult to deal with them."

Huang Taijin, a veteran of the battlefield, immediately made a decision.

"Dege, you lead the left flank and look for opportunities to break the enemy; Azig, you lead the right flank, bypass the shield car formation, and rush to kill its infantry."

Dege Lei and Azige led the way, and soon, two cavalry in the rear golden formation roared out and rushed towards the Ming army from two directions.

"Sir, do you want to fight?"

Zhang Chun stood in the car and was also observing the movements of Jin Jun.

"Let the two wings stand firm, and don't let the enemy cavalry approach. The rest of the troops and horses go straight to the enemy's central army."

Zhang Chun thought of a way that was not a solution. Instead of entanglement with Houjin's cavalry, he only went to Huang Taiji's Chinese army for a decisive battle.

As long as Huang Taiji is defeated, the threat of the two wings is no longer a threat.

The rear golden cavalry on both wings was really just a test.

As light cavalry, they were just cruising back and forth on the periphery of the Ming army's array, looking for loopholes, and did not dare to go too far.

Occasionally launched a charge, and was immediately bombarded by Ming army guns.There were some corpses left in the fire, and they quickly retreated.

In the tense temptation, the wind became stronger and stronger, and the black cloud gradually shrouded the battlefield.It was clear that it was daylight, and it was possible that the visibility was rapidly decreasing.

The wind was wrapped in sand and dust, and the person who was blowing could not lift his head.

Dege tried back and forth several times, but could not get close to the main formation of the Ming army.As a result, a swamp appeared in front, making it impossible for the cavalry to move.

In desperation, Dege had to lead the army around.

Who knew about this detour, but he caught the fighter plane.

It turned out that under the strong wind and sand, the formation of the Ming army loosened.

Especially between Wu Xiang's cavalry and Song Wei's car camp, due to the reduced visibility, the two sides gradually drifted apart, and a gap of more than [-] meters wide appeared.

What's more terrifying is that Azige came along with his army, and with powerful potential energy, he had already crashed into Wu Xiang's formation.

Jurchen grew up in the white mountains and black waters. Before becoming a warrior, she was the best hunter in the old forest.

Dege instinctively seized this opportunity and immediately took the lead, following the gap between Wu Xiang and Song Wei, and cut into the back of Wu Xiang's ass.

Wu Xiang's resistance against Azige was already very difficult, and when the battle was in full swing, the rear army suddenly became in chaos.Looking back, I saw the rear gold armor vaguely exposed under the wind and sand, and immediately the soul was devastated.

He thought that he was surrounded by cuttings, and he couldn't care about anything, so he immediately ran away on his horse.

As soon as the main general fled, the Ming army was in chaos, and the clever ones followed Wu Xiang's ass, only to run to the place where there was no rear Jin army.

Everyone was cavalry, and the Ming army really wanted to run, but in fact the Houjin army had nothing to do.

In fact, the loss of Wu Xiang's department was not large, but only more than [-] people.

But his escape was equivalent to selling Zhang Chun, Song Wei and others.Of course, the hope of rescuing Zu Dashou was completely cut off.

Heaven and earth are big, and your own life is the greatest.

At this time, even the elder brother-in-law can't care about it.

Wu Xiang escaped into the wind and disappeared.Zhang Chun was still ignorant, still commanding the remaining Ming army to fight fiercely.

But Huang Taiji, who was standing at a high place, had already discovered the abnormality, and immediately ordered Xiuli to lead the firearms troops to occupy the east of the Ming army, and all kinds of artillery and rockets bombarded the Ming army violently.

Zhang Chun personally went to the front line, which greatly boosted morale. The Ming army did not retreat, and also used firearms to fight back.

For a while, projectiles were raining and gunpowder smoke was billowing, and casualties on both sides were rising in a straight line.

Seeing that the firearms of the Houjin Army were so sharp, Zhang Chun was extremely anxious, and only hoped to solve it as soon as possible, and then turn back to the Houjin Cavalry.

"Sir, set fire!"

Deputy General Zhang Hongmo's reminder made Zhang Chun overjoyed and immediately ordered the execution to be done accordingly.

For a time, all kinds of arson weapons of the Ming army were launched towards Xiuli's camp. The fire quickly ignited a prairie prairie due to the wind. The frightened Xiuli's spirits fluttered, and the order to retreat was in his throat.

However, when people come to a dead end, God is the enemy.

It rained suddenly in the dark sky, and not only that, but the wind reversed strangely.The fire in the Xiuri camp was quickly extinguished, and the Ming army was attacked by the fire instead.

The situation was reversed, the morale of the Jin army was boosted, and the artillery fire became more and more fierce, and the Ming army could not stand.

It turned out that it was just a short burst of heavy rain.After noon, the rain and the sky clear, the situation of the battlefield is fully revealed.

Seeing that Zhang Chun and Song Wei's troops were surrounded and Wu Xiang's troops were missing, Huang Taiji personally came to the front to supervise the battle.

In fact, Houjin's tactics are basically the same as those of the Ming army.

After the weather cleared, Houjin's shield chariot arrived, and the countless Houjin army, like ants, hid behind the shield chariot and began to attack the Ming army.

The cavalry of Derge and Azig also charged from the other side, and within thirty paces it was a rain of arrows.

The Ming army was compressed into a very small area, causing every wave of arrows to fall, and life was harvested in large areas.

Zhang Chun was still forgetting to supervise the battle, and suddenly felt that something was wrong. He grabbed Zhang Hongmo suddenly and asked, "Where is Song Zongrong?"

Zhang Hongmo didn't know when he was shot, and he didn't even bother to deal with it.He wiped the blood on his face, but the result was even more blurred.

At this time, he was already desperate, and he didn't care about basic etiquette and courtesy.

"Who knows? Maybe died in battle, maybe ran away."

Song Wei did run away.

When the wind reversed, Song Wei was afraid.

In his view, this is the will of God, and the Ming army has no hope of victory.

Anyway, Wu Xiang has already run away, there is not much more of him.So Song Wei seized the opportunity and led his own soldiers to open a bloody road, all the way to the west.

Only poor Zhang Chun didn't know anything, and still tried his best to command the battle.

However, the two main generals have run away. What can he do when faced with such a situation as a civilian?
Just when Zhang Chun was stunned, a thunderous roar suddenly came from far away.

He looked up, and what he saw was that the wall of the Ming army was pushed away from the outside, and countless Houjin army poured in like a tide.

The Ming army who was still alive had lost their fighting spirit, and they threw away their weapons and surrendered on their knees with their hands raised.

Zhang Chun sighed, drew the scribe sword with his backhand, and wiped it towards his neck.

But Zhang Hongmo and other generals next to him moved faster and rushed up to stop him from committing suicide.

"Don't do it, my lord. If you leave the green hills, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood."

Just kidding, if you just die like this, the brothers have no weight in the Tartars, don't they all have to be beheaded?

With you around, the big guy can survive!
