The most powerful patriarch in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 199 The Final Sound
Chapter 197

Jin Li pulled out his scimitar and shouted loudly: "Brothers, Chong, the first one to enter Shengjing will be rewarded with 1000 taels of gold."

"Brothers of Xianglan Banner, let's go with Lao Tzu. Let's get the 1000 taels of gold that is the first to enter Shengjing." Brother cheers.

Among the Eight Banners of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, the Manchu Eight Banners have the highest status, followed by the Mongolian Eight Banners.
The Han Eight Banners have the lowest status,
Every time they act as cannon fodder,
Even the governor of Fujian, Lu Changle, has come, and he doesn't intend to change this situation.

These Han Eight Banners oppressed their own people, sometimes more ruthless than their masters,

They like to be a Hannv so much,

Just let them see it through.

As soon as the two teams charged, the guards of the city responded immediately.
Bows, arrows, and Francois machine guns quickly dealt firm blows,

For a while, the sound of killing and screaming was endless,
After attacking for about a quarter of an hour, Dorgon withdrew his troops,
The first time it was just a feint attack, the deployment of troops to guard the city,

After the Han Eight Banners retreated,

The two white banners and the Zhenglan banner of the Guishunmeng Eight Banners began to gather,
Dorgon personally led the Zhengbai Banner and Azig's Xiangbai Banner, and they also lined up.
The main direction of attack is Deshengmen and Tianyoumen,
The first thing to start is the artillery battle,

Dorgon took the Franc machine gun he had mastered,
And the two artillery teams that Lu Changle borrowed from him are used,

Special bombardment of weakly defended places,
Daishan and Haoge also fought back with captured or self-made Francophones,
Nurhachi and Huang Taiji have always used offense as defense,
The Eight Banners also focus on guerrilla warfare and field warfare.
Shengjing changed from a guard to a capital,
Poor foundation, tight schedule,
How can a wall made of rammed earth withstand the baptism of artillery fire?

The artillery battle started less than a quarter of an hour later,

Near the Huaiyuan Gate, a city wall of more than ten feet collapsed.
After a while, the city wall next to Tianyou Gate also began to collapse.

The shrewd Dorgon did not attack the city immediately,

Instead let the artillery continue to bombard,
Try to kill Huang Taiji's vital force as much as possible,
Under the precise strike of the clever mortar gun, the artillery defending the city was cleared one by one.

Slowly, all the artillery defending the city misfired,
Outside the city, a series of clever mortars are still firing tirelessly,

Continuously throwing shells on the city wall and inside the city wall,

The sounds of panic, screams, and neighing of horses can be heard endlessly.
There was also a raging fire in the city,

Dorgon and Azig glanced at each other,
In each other's eyes is luck,

If the two do not return in time,
Those shells will definitely fall in your own team,
Think about Oboi, who has a whole body of force,
In the end, he died tragically under the artillery before even seeing the enemy's face clearly.

Not only the two brothers Dorgon and Azig were shocked,

Those Mongolian Eight Banners and Han Eight Banners soldiers who followed the two brothers,

Everyone was dumbfounded.
Unexpectedly, the artillery is so sharp,
Unexpectedly, the battle can be fought like this.

Many people secretly rejoiced that they were on the opposite side,
Otherwise, the one being bombed now is myself,
Blindly being passively bombed, Hauge finally couldn't bear it anymore,

Assemble Zhenglan Qi and Zhenghong Banners as the main force,
There are also the servants of the Mongolian Eight Banners and the Han Eight Banners,
The killing sound shook the sky and came out from inside,

I don't know when the bombing will end.
Rather than being bombed to death, it is better to take the initiative,
Maybe there is still a chance.

Dorgon saw that the time had come,
Draws out his jeweled sword,

Raise your right hand high above your head,

While galloping his horses ahead of the teams,
While shouting loudly: "Warriors, take Shengjing, rewards, raise the flag, and give beautiful women"

"Regardless of life or death, Beizi rewards 500 taels of silver, Baylor 3000 taels, and the king of the county 1 taels"

"If you catch the prince, you will be rewarded with five cattle records and 1000 taels of gold"

"Catch Huang Taiji, seal the three-flag assistant leader, reward ten beauties, and 1 taels of gold"

Every time Dorgon yelled, his subordinates roared in unison,
Morale has risen to the naked eye,

When the time came, Dorgon swung his knife in the direction of the palace: "Fight to the death!"

Azig also pointed at the scimitar: "Fight to the death!"

Soon, the two sides collided fiercely,
Started to fight to the death,

This is when the Jianlu Eight Banners were at their most heroic,
The most tragic battle between the elite of the Eight Banners,
No provocation, no martial arts, no mutual abuse,
As soon as we met, it was already heated up.
Everyone is desperately trying to kill each other, knock down each other,
As soon as the person in front fell down, someone immediately filled in behind,
As if two mindless beasts were fighting,

The open space in front of the God Bless Gate,
Like a gigantic meat grinder,
It is devouring human life every moment.

On an unknown hill far away,

Lu Changle, Gan Hui, Lu Jinyuan, Lu Changwei and other high-level expeditionary forces,

Watching closely the direction of the battle with clairvoyance,
There are standard bearers and orderly soldiers waiting by the side,
At the foot of the mountain are teams of fully armed long-distance troops, they are ready to go,

If the tide of battle changes,

As long as Lu Changle gives an order, the expeditionary army will immediately go into battle.

Lu Changwei lowered his clairvoyance and said anxiously: "My lord, the enemy has already come out, it's time for us to act."

Seeing Dorgon and Azig fighting so fiercely,
Lu Changwei, who has always been belligerent, couldn't help it.

The Dorgon brothers are so good at fighting, so hurry up and attack,

They stole all the military exploits.

Lu Changle didn't even need clairvoyance, he waved his hand and said, "It's not too late for a good meal, Er Huang Xiang's men haven't shown up yet, let them fight for a while."

The Eight Banners system was founded by Nurhachi, who made detailed arrangements for all aspects of Jiankui.

Each flag has its own color,

Lu Changle didn't need clairvoyance, he could tell the color of the soldiers' armor from a distance.

The Mongolian Eight Banners and the Han Eight Banners look a bit messy,
But for the Eight Banners, Hauge is obviously not the opponent of the Dorgon brothers,

The Erbai Banners did not disgrace the title of the Eight Banners most able to fight,
Seen from a distance, the Zhengbai flag and the bordered white flag are driving the Zhenglan flag and Zhenghong flag back steadily.

Gan Hui also let go of his clairvoyance, with a look of admiration on his face, he said with lingering fear: "No wonder the Guanning iron cavalry, which was built with all the efforts of the whole country, is not an opponent of the Eight Banners. These Eight Banners soldiers are difficult to deal with."

Physically strong, equestrian fine, sword and bow skillful,
Fighting bravely without fear of death,

There is no front or back in the charge,

Gan Hui saw with his own eyes a soldier with a white flag and a soldier with a red flag fighting on horseback first.

No one can help anyone,
Under excessive force, both of them fell off the horse,
After falling off the horse, the two did not ride back on their horses for the first time, but wrestled into a ball on the ground.
So many people around, so many galloping horses,
If you don't pay attention, you will be trampled into meat,
But the two of them didn't care about anything other than the enemy in their eyes.

Until the Zhengbaiqi soldier took out a dagger from the shoe barrel and stabbed it into the opponent's heart,

As soon as he stood up, he saw a fast horse rushing by,
With a flash of the sword, the head of the Zhengbaiqi soldier was in a different place.

There are many examples like this,
The Eight Banners system has almost strict regulations on protecting the Lord.
If the owner is injured or has an accident, all the people below will be punished,

Severe cases even beheaded completely,
Even those soldiers surrounded Niulu Ezhen, Jiala Ezhen and Gushan Ezhen tightly,
There is a slight danger, and everyone desperately rescues them.

In Zhenglan Banner, a man who looked like Zuo Ling fell off his horse.
More than a dozen people jumped off the horse at once, and desperately piled on the leader,
I was afraid that he would be trampled by chaotic horses.

Lu Jinyuan said with some rejoicing: "Fortunately, Dorgon was subdued and let them bite dogs. If the expeditionary army takes the vanguard, the casualties must be heavy."

So many people were blown up in front,

The two armies fought fiercely, with increasing casualties,

But the Eight Banners soldiers seemed tireless,
Desperately attack the opponent,
Neither side shows signs of backing down.

Gan Hui nodded and said, "Before they charged, the slogan they shouted was a battle to the death. Only one side was completely subdued or dead, otherwise it would continue until the winner was decided."

Lu Changwei also said happily: "Fortunately, Dorgon took the lead for us, otherwise we would lose many brothers."

"Let's watch it carefully." Lu Changle said calmly: "This battle should be the last and strongest song in the era of cold weapons. From now on, firearms will be king."

"There won't be many such fierce hand-to-hand battles in the future." Lu Changle added.

The troops on both sides have good individual combat qualities,
Morale and fighting spirit are also sufficient,

The kind of determination and action to die to the end and fight to the last person,

It also moved Lu Changle,
However, none of these can avoid the arrival of the era of thermal weapons,
Just like Oboi and the yellow flag he led,

The physique of the soldiers is very strong, the horses are very vigorous,

Riding is very good, archery is very accurate,
The determination to charge forward is great,
But with their determination and hard work, under the bombardment of artillery,

Vanish into nothing.

Now there are mortars, grenades, flintlocks,

The development of firearms makes combat easier,
Song Yingxing, Lao Zhou, and hundreds of craftsmen,

I am working hard every day, trying to build a rifle as soon as possible,
Wait until the rifle comes out,

That is a dimensionality reduction blow, and the battle will be crushing and one-sided.

Did not send too much artillery support, and did not send expeditionary forces to coordinate the attack at the first time,

It is to let the Eight Banners have as much internal friction as possible,
It will be much easier to manage in the future.

When everyone heard the words, they all nodded secretly,
There is nothing wrong with what Lu Changle said.

"Your Excellency, look." Lu Changwei suddenly pointed to the front and said, "Zhengbai Banner has led people into the city."

Zhenghongqi couldn't resist Dorgon leading Zhengbaiqi himself,
Casualties are increasing and the pressure is increasing,

Dorgon knew that Lu Changle was watching from a distant hill,

Deliberately show their own strength, fight harder and harder,

Killed Zhenghongqi's corpses all over the ground, blood flowing like rivers,
forced to retreat,

A gap opened, and other fronts also panicked,
Huang Taiji on the city gate tower gritted his teeth and said, "Declarate my will, call for gold to withdraw troops, and retreat to the second line of defense."

The situation was urgent, Huang Taiji disregarded safety,
Has been at the forefront of supervising the battle,

Seeing that the general trend is over, if you don't retreat, your son Hauge will not be able to come back,

The first line of defense is gone, and there is a second line,
Relying on each well street,

Street fighting is rarely used by the Eight Banners soldiers, and Huang Taiji doesn't like to use it.

Don't lose all your chips until the last moment,
Huang Taiji never gave up easily.

"Your Majesty, let's withdraw first, if you don't withdraw, I'm afraid it will be too late." Dai Shan said anxiously from the side.

"Second brother, retreat together, let's go." Huang Taiji said loudly.

The second brother shouted, making Dai Shan's heart tremble,
Since Huang Taiji came to power, the relationship between each other has become more and more distant.

Although Huang Taiji is called the second elder brother at this time, there is a reason for deliberately repairing the relationship,
But Daishan was still very moved in his heart.

The sound of gold ringing sounded in the city, and Hauge, who had long thought of retreating, immediately ordered to retreat.

Dorgon, Azig, Shi Yanzhu and others are experienced warriors,
How can I miss this opportunity,
Immediately ordered his subordinates to chase after him, and did not give the enemy a chance to calmly organize a second line of defense.

"My lord, no, patriarch, let us go." Lu Changwei said pitifully.

Look at the stance of the Dorgon brothers who are fighting for their lives,

If you don't move out again, you won't be able to drink the soup.

Good guy, in order to fight, even the patriarch was called out.

Lu Changle smiled, and ordered: "Gan Hui, Lu Changwei"

"The subordinate is here" the two heard the words, and immediately stepped forward to listen to the order.

"The two of you immediately lead your troops to support Dorgon and take it down in one fell swoop."

I can't bear the child not being able to catch the wolf,
Only honed in the flames of war, tempered between life and death,

Only in this way can we develop a team of warriors who dare to fight and fight hard.

Let Dorgon rush to the forefront, consuming a lot of the enemy's strength and vigor,

Now, it's time for the boys of the expedition to enter the field,

Compete for their exploits and glory.

"obey"

Both Gan Hui and Lu Changwei were militants, and they were overjoyed to hear that,

After the answer, he immediately got on his horse and mobilized people and horses everywhere.

Lu Changle patted Lu Jinyuan on the shoulder and said, "Uncle Yuan, I will leave the peripheral work to you."

"Don't worry, with me here, none of them can escape, even if they have support, none of them will be let in." Lu Jinyuan replied a little excitedly.

When the expeditionary force was dispatched,

Many people thought this was a harassment trip, including Lu Jinyuan,

Learning from Mao Wenlong of Phi Island, he attacked Jianlu's rear,
Forcing them to withdraw from Daming,

I never expected that the war would go so smoothly.

Take the Erbai Banner, the most vicious of the Eight Banners of Jianlu, as a thug,

Copying Jianlu's old den doesn't count, and even his new home, Shengjing, is not spared.

Anyway, this battle,
The expeditionary force can be famous in history.

An ordinary rural white man can leave his name in history,
Lu Jinyuan still feels like he is dreaming.

Fighting and killing in the city should be left to young people.

Just guard your perimeter.

In Shengjing City, the battle became fierce again.

Huang Taiji used the "well" pattern in Shengjing to disperse people and horses at various intersections, government offices, and private houses.
Not only the two red flags, the Zhenglan flag, and the Mongolian-Han Eight Banners,
Even the two yellow flags, which are rarely dispatched, also participated in the battle,
This trick works well,

Dorgon and Azig, who were advancing so loudly just now, could only stop,

Send people to compete with Huang Taiji block by block,

One building and one building compete for land,

This is a way to kill one thousand enemies and damage yourself by eight hundred.

Seeing the guards, bannermen and slaves around him fall in a pool of blood,

Dorgon turned around in a hurry,
Fortunately, at the moment when the two sides were most stalemate, they finally heard the sound of the Ming army beating drums and charging.
The Ming army, who had been holding the formation behind, finally moved.

As soon as Gan Hui and Lu Changwei joined,

The stalemate situation was quickly reversed,
Those civil buildings could not stop the joint attack of clever mortar grenades and quick-fire guns.

Under the joint efforts of the Expeditionary Army and the Dorgon brothers,

The forces guarding Shengjing retreated again and again, and finally retreated to the palace,

Just as Gan Hui mobilized artillery to bomb the palace,

Suddenly the white flag of surrender was hoisted on the gate tower of the palace,
There were flag soldiers shouting not to attack, and those inside to surrender,
Soon, the gates of the palace opened,

Prince Li Daishan came out with the white flag in person,

In addition to surrender, Daishan also brought a message,
Emperor Taiji of the Qing Dynasty vomited blood and died in the Khan Palace.
