I really don't want to be emperor at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 328
Chapter 327

On the grassland on Luanpingba, the cold wind blows from the Mongolian plateau, revealing the biting cold, Li Dingguo involuntarily tightened his cotton coat, and let out a breath of white air.

Around him, a large army was like a black torrent rushing across the plains, hills, and grasslands, rushing towards Miyun Jing'an Fort.

The Annan Legion of the Ning Navy has very few cavalry, and there are only scout cavalry directly under each capital division, and the number is not large. There are [-] cavalry in total. Shen Mingyu pulled out all the scout cavalry, and each took a horse. Saddle, as fast as wind, thunder and lightning.They ride Dutch warmblood horses known for their stamina and tenacity.

The Ning Navy has a total of more than [-] to [-] iron-hoofed horses, two-thirds of which are in the cavalry capital, and the other part is here for the scout cavalry, because the scouts need to run fast. Even if they are horses, they are Dutch warm-blooded horses imported from Venice. So few in number that they could only be issued to scout cavalry units, this warm-blooded horse can survive extreme extremes of temperature and possesses a level of stamina matched only by Middle Eastern horse breeds.

In fact, even Mongolian iron-shoe horses are slightly worse than the Dutch warm-blooded horses. This kind of warm-blooded horses are strong in mobility and good at climbing and walking on rough mountain roads. Opinion.Cheng Shijie promised Zhao Wencai that he would equip the cavalry after the Bureau of Animal Husbandry bred more warm-blooded horses, and that the Sharmas would be preferred to supplement the cavalry, which made Zhao Wencai die down.

Cheng Shijie's decision was right. If Annan's army didn't have a warm-blooded horse like the Netherlands, it would be quite difficult for Li Dingguo and other [-] cavalry to maneuver for [-] miles overnight against the wind and sand.

In fact, Cheng Shijie really didn't have any foresight. He thought that there was a lot of rain in Annan, the climate was humid, and the temperature was high. Mongolian horses that like cold might not be suitable for Annan's climate, so he paired this high-temperature-resistant warm-blooded horse with To Annan's army, of course, this is also a mistake.

The war horses that Catherine sold to Cheng Shijie were all well-trained war horses that ran fast and steadily. Compared with the Dutch, the scouts of Ning Haijun were better for Dutch warm-blooded horses. In fact, horses also understand human nature. These war horses After joining the Ning Navy, although the training was hard, they were respected and treated generously.

When it comes to raising and breeding horses, China has a long history of thousands of years in this regard.

The white bloody war horse that Li Dingguo stepped down began to pant, and Li Dingguo jumped onto Cong Ma Xiaohei to let it breathe.His movements were exceptionally beautiful, without sloppiness, and drew applause.

"Good skill, general!"

Li Dingguo is quite proud: "I have practiced hard. I never have to go to the ground when changing horses. If there are three horses, it will not be a problem for me not to touch the ground for a few days or nights!"

An old Shanxi thief in the Annan Army snorted: "Who was it that complained three days ago that the crotch was cracked?"

Li Dingguo blushed, made a grimace, didn't dare to blow any more, took out the water bag and poured it down his throat...

After all, Li Dingguo is young. Although he is talented and quick to learn things, his time with Zhang Xianzhong is not too long. In particular, there is still a big gap between his regular cavalry. The time spent on the horse was far longer than the time spent on the ground. During the war, eating, drinking and lazing were all done on horseback, and he couldn't do it anymore. After riding a horse for a few days, his thighs were worn out and bleeding came out.

After drinking a lot, Li Dingguo said: "Speed ​​up, you must arrive at Jing'an Fort before the fourth watch, eat at the fifth watch, and attack at dawn, let the blood of the enemy army stain the grassland red!"

"Yes!"

The Zhongning navy soldiers howled in response, then fell silent and sped up their speed.

The wind is getting stronger and colder, and it is really unbearable for the snow particles to rush to the face.But if you can't take it, you have to take it. This is a battlefield, not a place for leisure and vacation.

……

On the Baihe line of defense, Tuxietu Khan's army is in front of the formation.

The exhausted Mongolian army retreated full of unwillingness and anger. They had neither the strength nor the strength to continue fighting. Ning Haijun's muskets were like a violent storm, and the shells hit them like they didn't want money. They had to retreat if they didn't retreat.

Seeing that the retreating Mongolian soldiers were covered with scars, Gonpo could not lose his temper with these Mongolian soldiers, after all, they tried their best.

Gonpo threw the rosary in his hand heavily on the ground, his eyes were bloodshot, and he roared loudly: "There are only three or four thousand Baiming soldiers, it's so hard to fight, we killed and injured more than 2 people in just half a day, More than 2 people! Who can tell Ben Khan what's going on? Who can tell Ben Khan what's going on!?"

The Mongolian generals were silent like cicadas, and no one dared to respond.They all felt incredible that the battle had ended like this.Today, the Mongolian army has performed at a super level. In the history of more than 200 years of war between Mongolia and Ming Dynasty, how many battles have been fought so fiercely and resolutely like today's battle?

However, they still failed to break into Ning Haijun's thin ice wall, and they couldn't even make a gap in Ning Haijun's position!Under the strangulation of Ning Haijun's terrible firepower net, they were the entire centurion and the entire centurion. I don't know how many tribal leaders are crying bitterly, lamenting the heavy casualties!

Recalling the scene of swords, lights, swords and shadows on the battlefield, and the sound of explosions like thunder, everyone shivered involuntarily. It was so tragic. They had never seen such a tragic battle in their life!
Qiaktu also said with red eyes: "Minggou owes us a debt of blood! I think their firearms are almost used up. We should step up our attack and kill all living things in Miyun City in one fell swoop. Erase this damn city!"

Kebai thought for a while and said, "We should build more chariots! Their firecrackers are very powerful. Our armor and shields are like paper in front of them. Only chariots can block the bullets shot by their firecrackers!" "

Chakhtu shook his head and said: "The car can't be stopped, I've seen it, and many cars have been beaten like a sieve."

Kebai said: "That's stronger than a shield! Build more chariots. Now that the chariots are covered with two layers of cowhide, they will definitely be able to prevent their firecrackers!"

Chaktu sighed: "The prime minister's idea is good, but the problem is...where can we find so much wood?"

Kebai was speechless...

Originally, there was a lot of wood in Jing'an Castle, the houses could be demolished, and the beams could be used, but the problem is that all of these... were burned by Chakta, and it would take a lot of wood to build a large cart Timber, and it’s not enough to cut down a tree. In fact, there are forests near Jing’an Fort. Where can I find so much shade-dried wood?

Lack of resources has always been the weakness of nomads, and this "lack" is all-round. They lack people, wood, iron, food, salt, and everything. Their inherent disadvantages make them seldom able to match The farming dynasties looked at each other equally.

Of course, if they have enough resources and have everything they need, I’m afraid they won’t be interested in robbing everywhere. They rob everywhere when they are full and warm.

Without wood, there is no way to build a large cart.

There is no way for Gonpo, they have no way out now, Ning Haijun's reinforcements are already on the way, they just received the news that Ning Haijun's reinforcements did not land from Tianjin, but came directly from Funingwei, and have arrived in Yongping In the prefecture, it might not be far away from them now.

In desperation, the wreckage of the wrecked wagons was recovered, and the usable wood was dismantled and reused to make new wagons.Soldiers found cowhide and horse skin to put on their shields, or pulled off the armor from the corpses of the fallen Mongolian soldiers and put them on the shields to enhance their defense capabilities. As for whether it works or not, no one can say. , I can only ask for the blessing of Changshengtian.

The second wave of attack seemed to start again, the Mongolian army was still coming from all directions like a tide, and the arrows were as dense as migratory locusts shooting at the Ning Navy's defense line, and the killing sound shook the sky.

The Ning Navy also responded to the Mongolian army with bullets, shells, and rockets. Relatively speaking, the Mongolian army also caused certain casualties to the Ning Navy officers and men, and the casualties were not small. After all, it was the first bolt-action rifle. , Failure is inevitable, some of Ning's navy officers and men were injured, some were killed, but the comrades around them still responded silently.

Chongzhen eight-year-style rifles are becoming more and more familiar in the hands of Ning Navy officers and men, and their marksmanship is getting better and better. Some people can even target the enemy at the position of five hundred paces. Of course, no one can say whether this shot was fooled or not. not allowed.

The Mongolian army is getting closer to the ice wall, and the number is increasing. After several days of fighting, the Mongolian soldiers also found that they wanted to save their lives, and they could not rush upwards in a swarm. Attacking on foot, or lying on the ground and slowly crawling forward, can effectively reduce casualties.

Those Mongolian soldiers who died in front of the battle, their bodies would be frozen into popsicles, and they just became bunkers. Climbing is a life-saving method that Mongolian soldiers learned in front of rifles. And the bullet consumes more.

Gonpo thought that this attack was going to fail again, but he didn't notice that countless Mongolian soldiers moved like maggots in front of the ice wall of the Ning Navy. Go behind the ice wall and fight with Ning Haijun.

Seeing this scene, countless Mongolian soldiers knelt on the ground excitedly, looked up at the sky with open arms, and shouted with tears: "Longevity blesses us, we won!"

Gonpo was also so excited that his lips trembled, and he said repeatedly: "I won, I won!"

However, the slap in the face came very quickly.

It is found that more and more Mongolian soldiers are jumping over the ice wall and fighting hand-to-hand with the Ning Navy officers and men. Although the Ning Navy officers and men are well-trained, the problem is that there are too many of them. In local battles, they have to face five or six soldiers alone. A Mongolian soldier was hacked to death by Mongolian soldiers one after another.

A Ning navy soldier had his right arm cut off by a Mongolian soldier. He also threw a rifle on the ground in his hand. Another Mongolian soldier stabbed at him with a long spear. He had no way to hide or dodge.

The Ning Navy soldier gritted his teeth and shouted loudly: "Marshal, I, Niu Shitou, will still be your soldier in the next life..."

Niu Shitou pulled the grenade fuze on his body, and with a loud bang, Niu Shitou and three Mongolian soldiers fell into a pool of blood.

Seeing this scene, Cheng Shijie was heartbroken.

"Yuan Shiliang, fire!"

"Master, there are our people..."

"Your fucking brain was blown out of your wits? Extend the artillery fire and knock out the Mongols who are attacking later!"

"Yes!"

Cheng Shijie grabbed the horizontal knife: "Guardian, follow me!"

Meng En hurriedly hugged Cheng Shijie and said, "Marshal, I'll go...let me go."

However, before Meng En could finish speaking, there were explosions in the middle of the first ice wall and the second ice wall of the Ninghai Navy. Nearly 300 people from one division, almost all of them died together, and committed suicide attacks with the Mongols.

The intercom in front of Cheng Shijie heard the voice of Lieutenant Wang Sixi: "Commander, Wang Sixi requests, fire at our side, fire at our side..."

"fire!"

Cheng Shijie still ordered the order.

The first to fire was naturally the rocket launcher. The Ning Navy Artillery Division fired more than 300 rockets towards the middle of the first and second ice walls, about the size of four football fields, that is, less than [-] square meters. rocket shells.

"Boom boom boom..."

With a series of violent explosions, a large area of ​​the Mongolian army was blown up, and the soldiers of the Mongolian army were blown to pieces.Without waiting for the Mongolian soldiers to react, even when the explosion sounded, Ning Haijun's reinforcements attacked with grenades under the cover of shield soldiers.

After the rocket shells were blown up, the surviving Mongolian soldiers discovered that an indestructible shield wall appeared on their left and right sides. The soldiers in the front row held large shields and stepped on the drums slowly approaching.A group of grenadiers followed behind, holding a bamboo basket full of grenades in their hands, and eight or nine grenades stuck in their waists. With a shout, a row of grenades flew out of their hands and landed in the middle of the Mongolian army.

"Boom boom boom boom" A series of violent explosions, the Mongolian army was blown up a large area.

The Mongolian soldiers who finally made a breakthrough were wiped out in the middle of the Ning Navy's first line of defense and the second line of defense. None of the three or four thousand Mongolian soldiers survived.

Gonpo looked at the failure and wanted to order the whole army to fight again. However, before he could give the order, the three-inch guns of the Ning Navy, the Frang machine guns, the four-inch guns, and the five-inch guns fired at the Mongolian army farther away. shells.

Several clusters of orange-red flames flashed out, the thunderous bang shook the ground rumblingly, and the shock wave of the explosion swept over with frighteningly high temperatures. Dozens of Mongolian soldiers were rolled up like a pile of leaves and shook violently. 30 meters away...

And this was just the beginning of the disaster. Several fire dragons rushed up from the explosion point like magma breaking through the earth's crust, and a 200-meter-long wall of fire was formed in an instant. I don't know how many Mongolian soldiers burned in a flash of fire, turning into Pyro hissed and screamed and rushed around, and the fire burned wherever he hit.

This is an incendiary bomb launched by the Ning Navy. Yes, the heavy artillery of the Ning Navy is basically the same as the naval guns of the Navy. For warships, the killing effect of the grenade is far inferior to that of the incendiary bomb, because even a thousand-ton ship, Getting hit by a grenade will cause damage, but it will not be fatal. At most, it will kill a large number of people, or damage the equipment and sailboats on the deck, but the incendiary bomb can reimburse a warship.

Because the Mongolian army made the Ning Navy Guards Division suffer a lot of deaths, especially since the Ning Navy became an army, it was the first division to be completely wiped out, the No.12 Division of the Fourth Chief of the Guards Division.

Cheng Shijie ordered not to keep it anymore, even if the reinforcements of the Ning Navy were not deployed in place, even if the Tuxietu Khan's troops retreated now, he didn't care.

Countless large and small incendiary shells fell like a torrential rain, and wherever they splashed, there was a sea of ​​flames. The Mongolian soldiers had avoided it as much as possible, but they were still not far enough. The rain of fire fell among them, and many people were shocked. They found that their clothes and hair were suddenly on fire, causing them to roll all over the floor in pain, screaming in agony, which was inhuman!

The shock wave of the explosion was wrapped in flames to form a terrifying fire dragon, instantly engulfing hundreds of Mongolians. The Mongolian soldiers howled like beasts in the raging flames, and many of them turned into firemen. The screams were moving, even as an opponent who was fighting to the death, the Ming army felt inexplicably palpitating!
The entire battlefield fell into a terrible silence. Both the Ming army and the Mongolian army stared blankly at the raging flames and the Mongolian soldiers writhing and thrashing in the flames, terrified.

Gonpo roared wildly, a stream of blood gushed out of his throat, it was fishy and sweet, his body shook a few times, and he fell off the horse, unconscious.One or two thousand people are gone in a blink of an eye, such a blow, even the overlord of Tushetu Khan can't bear it!
A commoner in the Baihe camp, this old gentleman seems to be a scholar, he heard the terrible cry, smelled the stench of burnt human flesh in the air, made him pale, trembling, murmured: "Burning the Rattan Armor Army... a crime!"

A farmer turned his head and gave him a cold look, and said, "They, the Mongol Tartars, deserve it!"

The scholar looked at this murderous, unfriendly farmer, hesitant to speak, and finally, thousands of words turned into a long sigh.

After a quarter of an hour, the screams on the battlefield stopped quickly. There were charred and distorted corpses everywhere, and the air was filled with stench. The dead body suddenly bent down while clutching their stomach, and the remaining food in the stomach pouch sprayed out from the mouth and nose.

They vomited so much that their eyes turned black. Such tragic double sides made them completely lose their desire to fight. Many people have never eaten barbecue in their lives.

Really, except for a madman, no one would enjoy such a tragic picture, even if it is an enemy who is burned to death!

After waking up, Gonpo's eyes were dull and he didn't say a word. He just lay on the bed like this, his eyes were completely out of focus, and no one knew what he was looking at.

Many generals reported the military situation to him and asked him to make a decision, but he didn't respond, as if he hadn't heard it.Anyone who looks at him can see the sadness and despair hidden in his lax eyes, yes, it is complete despair.

The moment Lie Yan (raging flames) soared into the air, he was completely desperate.The firearms of the Ming army emerged in endlessly, one was more terrifying than the other, and one was more powerful than the other. Throwing down a grenade could kill a large area, and the Mongolian army could not effectively kill the Ming army with all their efforts.

These firearms are not only powerful, but also easy to use. An ordinary farmer can learn how to use them in half a day. This means that even a group of militiamen can cause great casualties to the Mongolian army, and all the advantages have fallen to the Ming army. !
If it was said that he still had a chance to be lucky before, then when he saw thousands of people being burned to death by shells fired by Ming army artillery in an instant and burned to death in the sea of ​​flames blasted out, even the last chance of him was smashed to pieces.

This battle cannot be fought.Even if they worked hard, they couldn't kill or injure many Ming troops, and the Ming army could kill and injure a large number of them with only one round of shelling. How can we fight this battle?
Gonpo is disheartened now, he doesn't want to say anything, he doesn't want to do anything. In his view, no matter how ingenious the tactical deployment he makes, he will be easily blown into powder by the Ming army's firearms. Everything is just a futile struggle That's all, why bother?

Now he just wants to know what kind of artillery the Ming army used and why its power is so terrifying!
The battlefield came to a standstill, surprisingly falling into a terrifying silence.

Only Cheng Shijie heard the voice from the high-power radio station beside him: "Call for the commander, call for the commander!"

This is the largest radio station in Cheng Shijie's hands, and it is also the radio station with the longest transmission distance. It can have a radiation range of [-] kilometers, which means that the reinforcements have already arrived within [-] kilometers.

At the third watch, when the wind cleared and the clouds dispersed, a full moon emerged from behind the dark clouds and hung high in the sky.With the moonlight as bright as silver, one can vaguely see a huge black shadow raised behind the horizon,

From Jing'anbao City to the south, torches are connected one by one, as if the stars all over the sky have fallen to the earth, the horns are trumpeted, the golden watchaws are surging, and the banners are flying in the evening wind. It is Mongolia. Army camp.

The soldiers of the Annan Army who had been driving all night let out a sigh of relief, and finally arrived!

Li Dingguo ordered to the generals beside him: "All get off their horses and rest, and launch an attack immediately after dawn!"

……

Shenyang City, the Royal Palace.

Looking at the information in front of him, Huang Taiji looked surprised: "5 horses? Is this news correct?"

"Reporting to King Khan, it must be true. This news has been verified. The commander-in-chief is Cheng Shijie's confidant Shen Mingyu. Calculating the time, they should be in the capital now at the latest!"

Fan Wencheng smiled wryly.

Surviving this time, Huang Taiji did not take drastic measures, otherwise, according to the original method, they wanted to use the more than 30 captured Daming soldiers and civilians in their hands to exchange more than [-] stones of grain from Ning Haijun, plus the beheading of ten There are more than [-] shi of grain for the heads of more than [-] Mongolians.

With the 30 shi of grain, they tore up the agreement reached with Ning Haijun. In fact, the agreement was not even signed, it was just a verbal agreement.

Huang Taiji didn't have the slightest psychological burden for breaking the contract, but the problem was that when Huang Taiji saw the news, he broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't expect Cheng Shijie to be hiding behind in Liaodong. An even more disastrous defeat at the Battle of the Gulf.

Huang Taiji squeezed the information and said several times: "It's dangerous, it's dangerous!"

Huang Taiji immediately made up his mind: "Beat the drums, gather the generals, and send out troops!"

Fan Wencheng bowed and said, "King Khan is wise!"

The current Huang Taiji is like the beautiful country in World War II. When the beautiful country saw that Da Mao had already beaten Germany to the ground, if it did not participate in the war, it would miss the opportunity to snatch the fruits of victory.

In fact, as Shen Mingyu's [-] Ning's elite navy went northward, he saw that Cheng Shijieming had absolute certainty of victory. The troops Cheng Shijie could dispatch included [-] cavalry, [-] infantry and artillery. These more than [-] elites plus the Nine Frontier Ming Army will have no problem in defeating Mobei and Moxi Mongolia.

Even if Huang Taiji leads the elite Eight Banners of the Jin Kingdom to unite with Mobei and Moxi Mongolia, there is no chance of winning, the artillery of the Ning Navy has already cast a psychological shadow on Huang Taiji.

As the Eight Banners and Baylor arrived at the palace, Huang Taiji looked at the ministers of civil and military affairs and said, "Ben Khan has decided to accept the invitation of the Governor of Liaodong and Lord Hai to cover Mobei Mongolia!"

Regarding the fight against Mongolia, the Eight Banners elite said that this is all trivial, as long as they don't fight with Ning Haijun, it doesn't matter if they fight with anyone.They have an absolute chance of winning.

"You have also heard that more than [-] troops from Mobei Mongolia have marched south. According to intelligence, Hai Guogong has led his troops to wipe out [-] to [-] Tuxietu Khan's troops. If we participate in the war, we can snatch the horses and cattle of Mobei Mongolia. The sheep, as well as their young adults and children, and more importantly, as long as we behead one level, Hai Guogong will give us a hundred catties of grain!"

Huang Taiji waved his hand and said, "This time, all our Eight Banners will be dispatched!"

"Khan Wansheng, King Khan is wise!"
