Chapter 169
Chapter 168

Because they wear heavy armor, in terms of killing effect, they are heavier than unarmored targets. As long as the 32mm lead bullet hits the fatal part, it is possible to save a life, because this will cause penetrating injuries, such as missing arms. leg.

However, with the protection of the iron armor, it was completely different. The lead bullets rolled over and formed a bigger wound. The [-] white armored soldiers under Oboi's command broke through the defense line of the Dongjiang Army. During the fragrant time, no one can stand still.

After the white armored soldiers in the front row who were used to break through the formation fell to the ground, it was soon the turn of the Jiannu light cavalry in the back.

The rate of fire of the Thunderbolts did not decrease, 64 Thunderbolts were being loaded with ammunition, and the remaining 64 Thunderbolts were like 64 death scythes, fiercely sweeping towards Jiannu's light cavalry.

At this time, the Jiannu light cavalry fell to the ground layer by layer like cut wheat.

"retreat!"

Huang Taiji's teeth were almost bleeding. He knew that he had lost the chance to defeat Ning Haijun at this time, and the whole battle situation was developing out of control.

First of all, it was used to drag and cover the various armies that Jiannu broke through from the right-wing corps of the Ning Navy. They faced the heavy casualties caused by the Ning Navy's bullets and landmines, and finally gritted their teeth and rushed into the front of the Ning Navy. within the remaining steps.

Within this distance, Ning Haijun's muskets and crossbows have no advantage in rate of fire. Jiannu's archers can shoot continuous arrows, causing huge damage to Ning Haijun.

All the Jian slaves thought that they could make a major breakthrough, which would be a great victory.

However, at this moment, rows of grenades rained in the sky.

The grenades hit the helmets and shoulder armor of the Jiannu cavalry. The Jiannu cavalry who were hit by the hit did not feel anything, but looked at the iron hammers with wooden handles that were sizzling and smoking on the ground in confusion, and looked at each other, showing a confused expression. Look: "What the hell is this thing? How can it hurt the enemy if you throw it on the ground?"

Do you want to smash us to death with this?

Is this too light?

If you want to smash our hammer to death, you should throw it more accurately!

"Boom boom boom boom..."

A series of impenetrable explosions sounded suddenly, overwhelming the shouts of thousands of troops and horses. The Jiannu and Mongolian cavalry looked over in horror. They saw flames rushing among the cavalry on the front line, shrapnel flew across the air, and many horses were exploded. The shock wave overturned directly.

Those that were not overturned were also hit by shrapnel and steel balls flying at explosive speed, and a suppressed scream came from the airtight helmet.Facing the explosive fragments and steel balls flying at explosive speed, no matter how thick the armor is, it is useless. The armored cavalry charged in a dense formation were cut down by the shrapnel like clumps of wheat, causing death and injury!

Huang Taiji was no stranger to the various firearms of the Ming army. In the Ming army's arsenal was the Thunderbolt, and Jiannu had tasted it a lot.

However, this thing is a wooden or clay pot filled with a large number of iron nails and pot fragments, which is thrown out after being ignited, and a large area is blown up with a bang.

But the problem is that this thing weighs at least a dozen catties, and it can only be used to defend the city. If it is barely used in field battles, it must be thrown with a trebuchet. Even if it is carried by a single soldier, it cannot be thrown far.

The grenades used in the confrontation between Jiannu cavalry and Ning Navy scouts were actually used on a small scale and on a small scale, and did not attract Jiannu's attention.

However, in the process of attacking the Ning Navy in an all-round way, the soldiers of the Ning Navy swung over in pieces and bombed vigorously. The invincible slaves, light and heavy cavalry, and even the white armored soldiers finally tasted the bitterness. The grenades fell like hail, blooming everywhere The flames, flying shrapnel everywhere, blown half of them, including their horses and men, and many of them were blown to pieces, flying around with broken limbs, and those who were not bombed felt cold all over.

Within [-] steps of Ning Haijun's formation, grenades blew them away, and Ning Haijun used firecrackers and crossbows from a long distance to continue to attack the Jiannu cavalry. They had no choice but to Passively bombed.

Now that the war has been fought, the elite slaves must be very aggrieved. They began to practice martial arts hard at the age of five or six, building up their strength, and joined the army at the age of seventeen or eighteen. They have endured so much hardship and fought many vicious battles before they can master it. Such superhuman martial arts, the horses they ride, and the iron armor they wear are all painstakingly collected by Jiannu. It is fully expected that they can play a decisive role in the battle against the Ming army.

But the problem is that Ning Haijun's grenade bombed them all on their backs...

The Jiannu who were in charge of attacking the Ning Navy did not retreat. They expected that other Jiannu could break through the defense line of the Dongjiang Army, drive the broken soldiers of the Dongjiang Army, break through the defense line of the Ning Navy, and successfully win the battle.

It's just a pity that they succeeded halfway.

Although Oboi took advantage of Huanglong's weakness, successfully broke through the Dongjiang Army's defense line, and successfully messed up the Dongjiang Army's defense line, when they were expanding their battle results, Ning Haijun gave them such a blow.

Fortunately, Huang Taiji's order to retreat was too fast, and there was a dense sound of thunderbolts from the right wing. Ning Haijun's left wing and the forward army no longer kept it, and four or five hundred thunderbolts began to speak.

This is equivalent to 1 firecrackers firing, and the scene is absolutely spectacular.

Jian Nu retreated, and before they left, they took some of the corpses, many corpses, and they didn't even have time to take them away.

To say that the unlucky one was Oboi, a Jian slave thought that Oboi was dead, so he tied Oboi's head with a noose, and Oboi was awake at the time, supported the noose with his arms, and yelled .

Unfortunately, the battlefield was too noisy at that time, and Oboi's voice was almost hoarse, and he didn't let the Jiannu who dragged him away turn back. In this way, Oboi was dragged by Jiannu soldiers from the right wing of Ninghai Navy to Jiannu Daying, at a distance of nearly seven or eight miles, Oboi's armor has been worn through, and his body has been worn to a bloody mess...

Jiannu retreated, Jiannu's tide-like offensive was finally blocked, and the fleeing Dongjiang Army soldiers regrouped, finally stabilizing the situation on the right wing.

Cheng Shijie also heaved a sigh of relief, and fortunately he had transferred Zhou Ning earlier, otherwise the defense line of the Dongjiang Army would have been penetrated, and the consequences would have been disastrous!

The current situation is that the more than [-] troops of the Ning Navy have blocked the onslaught of the [-] to [-] Jiannu troops, the Dongjiang Army is struggling to support it on the right wing, and the cavalry of the Guan Ning Army led by Zu Dabi led the Houjin army. The cavalry circled the edge of the battlefield...

That's right, more than 4000 cavalrymen of the Guanning Army are leading seven or eight thousand golden cavalry around in circles. The flexible mobilization has put huge pressure on Jiannu, and seven to eight thousand horses are needed to guard against these cavalry, lest they suddenly attack.

But in the same way, the cavalry capital under Zhao Wencai's command and Jiannu's fight was very tragic. The casualties of Ning Haijun were mainly concentrated in the cavalry capital. Nearly 1000 people.

It can be said that Zhao Wencai used twice as many troops as Zu Dabi, and barely managed to lead Jiannuqi's 8000 troops, but the price he paid was higher than Zu Dabi's, and the results were much smaller.

This shows that the cavalry unit of the Ning Navy still has a long way to go. If the large Chinese army, the school grounds, densely packed tents were set up, and a large number of wounded soldiers were placed in the tents, including the wounded soldiers of the Ning Army. The wounded soldiers of the Dongjiang Army also have the wounded soldiers of the Ning Navy.

Since the Dongjiang Army and the Guan Ning Army did not have military doctors and established medical soldiers at all, these wounded soldiers could only be taken care of by the Ning Navy's field hospital.

Although Sun Chengzong did not directly command the battle, the military intelligence did not conceal him. Sun Chengzong judged from some clues that Cheng Shijie's pressure is actually not small now.

The first is the flowering ammunition, which is Cheng Shijie's trump card. All the flowering ammunition added together, there are only [-] rounds, which is equivalent to less than [-] rounds for each artillery, which means that the shells of the artillery are only half the base number. .

There was no other way to do this. The technology for making flower bombs was not mature enough, so the output was naturally low.The most important thing is that the output of gun cotton is too low, only seven or eight thousand catties of nitric acid a month, it is needed to make smokeless gunpowder, it is needed to make gun cotton, and it is needed for everything. The gunpowder that can be used as explosive bombs is also limited.

After understanding the situation, Cheng Shijie issued an order to Yuan Shiliang: "If it is not necessary, temporarily stop the use of flowering shells!"

Of course, the situation of the Franc machine artillery is better, and there is still a base left. There are still more than 130 million rounds of bullets for the Firecracker and the Thunderbolt, so there is no need to worry about not enough for the time being.

"Is the drug consumption too high?"

Cheng Shijie said: "In the name of my commander, order the management committee to bring the medicine up as soon as possible!"

"Yes!"

While talking, Wu Sheng walked up to Cheng Shijie and whispered softly: "Cheng Shuai, Huang Shuai is gone!"

"What's gone?"

"When it's gone, it's gone!"

When Cheng Shijie saw Huanglong, he saw the corpses of about a hundred soldiers of the Dongjiang Army around Huanglong lying on the ground in different shapes. The tooth arrow shot through his wrought-iron helmet from the front door and pierced through the back of his head.

Huanglong's face and beard were covered with blood stains, his eyes were wide open, and he could not rest in peace.

Cheng Shijie looked at the soldiers of the Dongjiang Army who were kneeling on the ground and shouted, "What are you eating? What are you doing? Why didn't you protect Huang Shuai?"

In history, a total of 31 generals above the deputy commander-in-chief who died on the Liaodong battlefield in the late Ming Dynasty, and Huanglong was the No. 30 commander-in-chief who died in battle. In Lushun.

It's a pity that in this time and space, he died early because of Cheng Shijie...

The surrounding generals of the Dongjiang Army were ashamed.

Huang Long's nephew, Huang Sizheng, took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Cheng Shijie: "Cheng Shuai, Huang Shuai asked me to give it to you!"

Cheng Shijie scolded the generals of the Dongjiang Army, but in fact nothing could be changed.

No need to read, Cheng Shijie also knew that this was Huang Long's last letter to Cheng Shijie.

Sure enough, the letter was written in advance, just to ask for a reward from Cheng Shijie for the brothers of the Dongjiang Army.

Cheng Shijie pointed to the channel: "Do you know what Huang Shuai wrote in the letter?"

All the soldiers of the Dongjiang Army lowered their heads and did not dare to look Cheng Shijie directly in the eyes.

Cheng Shijie roared: "Huang Shuai made a request to this commander, and I hope that this commander can agree. The soldiers of the Dongjiang Army who died in this battle can enjoy the treatment of the soldiers of the Ning Navy!"

All the soldiers of the Dongjiang Army looked at Cheng Shijie hopefully.

The treatment of the fallen soldiers of the Ning Navy is an open secret.Families of ordinary soldiers can receive a pension of 20 taels of silver and [-] acres of land. This [-] acres of land can be tax-free for five years, taxed for ten and a half years, and passed down forever.

Different ranks, although the pension has increased, but the reward standard for one hundred acres of land is the same treatment as soldiers and generals.

This made the soldiers of the Dongjiang Army most concerned about the last item: "Forever heirloom!"

One hundred acres of land can guarantee at least three generations of no worries about food and clothing.

"Huang Shuai was thinking of you before he died, and you're doing this to him? Fuck!"

Cheng Shijie couldn't help but want to curse.

Of course, facing the expectations of the soldiers of the Dongjiang Army, Cheng Shijie also knew that he could only agree, otherwise the Dongjiang Army would have no way to use it, and Guan Ning Army was also there.

Cheng Shijie said: "During this battle, brothers from the Dongjiang Army and the Guanning Army helped each other. This commander treated everyone equally. He beheaded the first level, rewarded 50 taels of silver, and rewarded 75 acres of land. The soldiers who died in battle received 20 taels of silver and [-] taels of land. Acres of land, five years of tax exemption, ten and a half years of tax, and a family heirloom forever!"

"Cheng Shuai is mighty!"

"Cheng Shuai wins!"

"Cheng Shuai is domineering!"

The surviving soldiers of the Dongjiang Army, who were originally lifeless, reached out to touch the weapons around them in unison. They waved their weapons and shouted loudly: "Fight, fight, fight..."

Even the wounded soldiers who were riddled with scars raised their arms and shouted.

Looking at the surviving soldiers of the Dongjiang Army, whose morale was soaring, Sun Chengzong felt that the Dongjiang Army was a little strange at this moment...

A cavalry soldier of the Guanning Army, holding the half-dead corpse, burst into tears: "Brother, you heard that, Cheng Shuai will reward you with a hundred acres of land, plus this head I chopped off, our family life can go on!"

Zu Dale opened his mouth, but made no sound.

He knew that if he dared to object, the swords of the officers and men of the Guan Ning Army would not recognize him.

Cheng Shijie’s compensation for the soldiers of the Dongjiang Army or the Guanning Army requires not only paying more than 100 million mu of land, but also paying more than tens of thousands of taels of silver. The number of casualties of the Ning Navy may exceed 20 taels of silver...

Cheng Shijie broke his fortune, Huang Taiji was about to cry, but now in Huang Taiji's big tent, Daishan, Yue Tuo, Du Du, Mang Gurtai and others are like eggplants beaten by frost.

No one expected that Ning Haijun would be so powerful. Not only is his long-range attack ability unmatched, but his melee ability is not inferior to Daikin, especially the light hand grenade.Whether it is the white armored soldiers or the red armored soldiers rushing up, they will soon be blown into a hornet's nest. Although they are constantly killing and wounding the Ming army, such an exchange of few people is really unbearable!

The attack on the Dongjiang Army was successful at the beginning, almost piercing through the defense line of the Dongjiang Army, but under the cover of the Ning Navy and led by Huanglong, the Dongjiang Army launched an almost crazy counterattack. Then, thousands of The spearhead of Jiannu's attack was quickly wiped out by the gunners, and it turned into a terrible tug-of-war.

Every minute and every second is devouring the lives of a large number of Dajin warriors. The performance of the Ming army has told them clearly that they want to break through our defense line?Okay, fill it with more than twice as many corpses!
Even with the greatest determination to destroy Ning Haijun regardless of the cost, he still cannot bear such heavy casualties. Dajin can't afford this kind of battle!

"How to do?"

Mang Gurtai grabbed Yue Tuo's skirt and asked Yue Tuo to speak to Huang Taiji.

The relationship between Yue Tuo and Huang Taiji was closer than Huang Taiji and Hauge's own son, Huang Taiji could listen to it, and most importantly, even if Huang Taiji didn't want to listen, he wouldn't punish him.

Yue Tuo said: "Uncle Wu, what do you want to say? Our Dajin Kingdom is not like Daming. It's okay to say right and wrong?"

Huang Taiji said: "What does Fifth Brother want to say?"

Mang Gurtai shouted loudly: "I can't beat him anyway, what should I do!?"

Before Huang Taiji finished speaking, Yue Tuo said angrily: "If you can't beat it, just gnaw it layer by layer, what else can you do!"

Mang Gurtai's eyes spit fire: "Eating layer by layer? If we play like this, by the time we gnaw at the defense line of the enlightened army, we will have few survivors!"

Du Du sighed, and said with a painful face: "It's better to withdraw the army... If you can't fight it, even if you can fight it, the casualties will be extremely heavy. Our Dajin Kingdom can't afford this kind of battle!"

Huang Taiji did not start killing, but said with a sad smile: "You...do you all think that it will be fine if you withdraw the troops?"

Everyone dared not look up.

Huang Taiji sneered and said: "In order to fight this battle, we delayed stockpiling pastures and grazing autumn fat for cattle and sheep; due to the blockade of the Ning Navy, we have not bought grain and cloth from the Han people for several months; at the same time, We don’t know how many hay and dried cow dung were burned by them, how many cattle and sheep were robbed, even if we retreated to Shenyang, how many people would survive this winter?”

What Huang Taiji said made everyone breathless.

Life in Liaodong was already difficult. They worked hard to herd animals, endured hunger and hunger, and in autumn they had to risk their lives to break into border areas to plunder border areas to obtain food and cloth in order to survive the winter. Now they A lot of people died without getting anything, and a lot of pasture and fuel for the winter were burned by Ning Haijun. How can we survive this winter?
You can't advance if you want to, and you can't retreat if you want to. Even in the early Ming Dynasty, the Jurchens had never tried to be so passive, never tried.

Huang Taiji stood up, looked around the crowd, and said in a stern voice: "We have no retreat! Minggou will not give us a way out. If we retreat this time, they will intensify and deploy more cannons to the Liaodong Border Pass. Make each city stronger, and every day that passes, the difficulty for us to take down these cities will increase! These cities and cannons have become shackles around our necks. Every day, this shackle will Tighten it up, we Dajin have no way out, and we don't have time..."

The Baylors began to fall silent.

Huang Taiji stared at Cheng Shijie's general flag in the distance, his eyes were so red that he was about to spurt blood.

He is actually the one who regrets the most now.

As early as February, when the entire army of more than [-] men under Duduo's command was wiped out, he could actually easily eliminate Cheng Shijie.

At that time, how many people did Cheng Shijie have?

In the early 2s, less than [-] people, nearly half of them are still sailors, and more than two-thirds are recruits.

He didn't even need to send troops, he only needed an order to order Duoduo to regroup. With the strength of the three brothers Dorgon, it was more than enough to deal with Cheng Shijie.

It is a pity that at that time, Huang Taiji considered creating internal strife among the three brothers Azige, Duoduo, and Dorgon. It can also be said that he despised Cheng Shijie.

That's right, he underestimated Cheng Shijie.

Underestimating Cheng Shijie will have serious consequences.

Huang Taiji looked at the crowd and said: "King Ben Khan is wrong, and you are also wrong!"

Fan Wencheng's heart tightened: "King Khan, how could you be wrong?"

Huang Taiji said: "Although the power of their giant cannons is terrifying, it is impossible to keep firing. After firing for a long time, they must stop to let the barrels cool down; although their firecrackers are powerful, the barrels will fire after firing for a long time. Red! We can definitely defeat them! Divide into several waves and launch uninterrupted attacks from multiple directions. Don’t worry about casualties anymore. Only by taking Haizhou City can we survive. Only when we live can we survive. I am qualified to feel sorry for the casualties of the tribal warriors!"

What Huang Taiji said is correct, only by taking Haizhou and seizing the food in Haizhou City, they will have a chance of survival, there is no other way!

"The bloody battle will never end!"

The howls like wild beasts resounded through the tents of the central army, and all the Jurchen nobles trembled.

Yes, they have no way out.

Since Huang Taiji decided to attack Haizhou...

No, it should be said that from the moment Cheng Shijie decided to send troops to take down the entire Liaohe Plain, they had no way out.

If they hesitated under Baliwan City, Cheng Shijie would definitely not be polite, he would definitely open his bloody mouth, revealing his fangs, ready to tear them to pieces!
Huang Taiji had no retreat, and the entire Dajin Kingdom had no retreat.

Of course, morale has risen, and they can no longer fight.

It's getting late, night battles, threats and variables are greater.

While Huang Taiji and the Jurchen nobles were killing sheep and roasting meat to discuss countermeasures, Cheng Shijie looked at the sky.

The snow he was looking forward to finally came.

At first, it was just small snowflakes, and it took almost half an hour for the ground to be covered with a thin layer of snow. However, as time went by, the snow became bigger and bigger, and the snow on the ground became thicker and thicker. .

Cheng Shijie laughed and said, "Our time has come!"

Sun Chengzong seemed to understand: "You have been waiting for this snow?"

"Yes, teacher!"

Cheng Shijie pointed in the direction of Jiannu's camp in the east and said, "Jiannu's self-confidence is nothing more than a strong bow and angry horse. The decisive battle location I chose for Huang Taiji is very conducive to Jiannu's cavalry raid, but once the blizzard falls , the horses can’t run anymore, and they deserve to die!”

Sun Chengzong stroked his beard and smiled: "You want to say that Li Jing attacked Yinshan Mountain at night?"

"No, no, no!"

Cheng Shijie shook his head and said, "I'd rather close the door and beat the dog!"

PS: The update has been very slow these days, and Lao Cheng is also very helpless. I have been recruited, and I almost couldn't write it.
