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

Countless Tianxiong Army soldiers reported their names and places of origin, hoping that Lu Xiangsheng would remember them.

No need. Lu Xiangsheng will never forget them. He will never forget them, a group of soldiers who are so ordinary that they are almost worthless, because a man wearing a Confucian shirt can bully them, and any landlord or rich man can abuse them unscrupulously. However, they But at this critical moment, a man stood up and shined brightly.

The Qing army, which was quickly reorganizing its formation, was surprised to see that the Ming army's formation was noisy, but as stable as a rock. No matter how rain of arrows fell on them, they remained unmoved.

"These Ming soldiers must have taken the wrong medicine..."

After saying this, the Qing army's Jia La'e really changed his face. In the entire Ming Dynasty, there was only one army that could face the charge of Jianzhou Jurchen warriors without moving, and that was Ning Haijun.

With a radius of more than ten miles in the Sunit area, all the Ming army officers and soldiers looked at the Tianxiong army officers and soldiers. The Tianxiong army officers and soldiers sang the war song of horses treading on the ground while launching an attack on the Jiannu cavalry.They are tragic and heroic. In the wind and sand, in the biting cold wind, and surrounded by iron cavalry, the soldiers of the Tianxiong Army who were drawn to death can face death calmly.

Quietly watching the Tianxiong army launch a desperate attack on the Jiannu cavalry one after another, at that moment, Lu Xiangsheng, the Ming war god known for his perseverance and calmness, burst into tears.

Lu Xiangsheng silently put on the silver armor that Cheng Shijie gave him. This armor was made of fine steel and was coated with silver plating. Although it can easily attract the enemy's attention, it can also attract the attention of the entire army. See the figure of their commander.

Lu Xiangsheng waved the Mo Dao in his hand: "All officers and men, follow me and kill Jiannu!"

The Ming army officers and soldiers who had been watching calmly slowly tightened their grip on the swords and guns in their hands.The bravery and heroism of the Han and Tang dynasties who wiped out all the barbarians outside the Great Wall, and the martial and warlike spirit of the Chinese ethnic group who have overcome all obstacles and opened up new territories for thousands of years have been resurrected in their blood.

"Isn't it just death? I won't live anymore!"

We are all made of flesh and blood. The soldiers of the Tianxiong Army can face death calmly and leave the hope of survival to their friendly forces. They can too!
Now the entire Sunit area is in chaos, fighting is going on everywhere, and there are flames of war everywhere.The Jiannu cavalry soldiers immediately discovered that they seemed to be trapped in a swamp. They attacked, and the Ming army also attacked them.

The two sides fought bloody battles with flesh and blood. The soldiers of the Tianxiong Army held grenades or used gunpowder packets to die together with the Jiannu cavalry.This move was immediately followed across the board.

"Father, mother, children can no longer fulfill their filial piety!"

"Xiu Niang, if there is a next life, I will marry you again..."

"My dear, raise your child, and I will allow you to remarry...forget it, you can remarry if you want..."

The decisive counterattack launched by the Ming army had a good effect, because they found that there was no chance to increase their speed. Once the cavalry lost their speed, they would be targets. The infantry had too many ways to deal with them.

At this time, looking down from the sky, the Sunit area was like a huge whirlpool. Countless Qing cavalry attacked Lu Xiangsheng, and around them, countless Ming troops were also attacking them.Both sides exchanged lives for lives and blood for blood, and the battlefield was extremely cruel.

In fact, if the Qing cavalry wanted to retreat, they had a high chance of retreating.

It's a pity, it's a pity. Huang Taiji gave them the order to kill Lu Xiangsheng. They had no choice. As more and more Ming soldiers awakened their bloodline, under the fierce and fearless charge, the Jiannu cavalry was slowly defeated. The Ming army counterattacked and the encirclement was not tight at this time. They still had a chance to break out. However, the Jiannu cavalry also knew that they had no way to retreat. This was their only chance, the only chance to take control of the Central Plains and defeat the Ming Dynasty.

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer Jiannu cavalry around him, and the encirclement was getting smaller and smaller, Niu Lu Ezhen said: "Master, let's withdraw..."

"Get out of here and kill me..."

Before he could finish his words, Lu Xiangsheng's sword stabbed at him diagonally, and his head soared into the air, leaving a trail of blood.

The battle slowly stopped. Almost all the more than [-] Jiannu cavalry were killed, and even those who were not dead fell to the ground. There were even more Ming army soldiers who fell on the battlefield. After all, the combat power was there, and the cavalry was still there. Has a suppressive advantage.

Lu Xiangsheng looked at corpses everywhere, broken arms everywhere, human organs and flesh and blood everywhere.

Lu Xiangsheng's eyes fell on the body of the war horse lying on the ground: "He Ruobin!"

"The mark is here!"

"A lot of military rations were burned by the Jian slaves, and the carcasses of the war horses were harvested. Don't waste it and make it into dried meat!"

Lu Xiangsheng didn't know how much food and grass there was now. It must not be too much, otherwise they wouldn't have transported the sand here as food.This is not something that one person can do. Ming Dynasty has a mature administrative management system. Just like the deployment, transfer, departure, and inspection of military rations, it requires more than 20 procedures.It is not an easy thing to hide this from him, the quartermaster.

Lu Xiangsheng did not stay. There was an assassination by Guan Ning's army and the Qing cavalry appeared here. Then the main force of the Northern Expedition led by Zhu Chunchen was probably also heavily surrounded.

Lu Xiangsheng led only less than [-] to [-] Tianxiong Army cavalry to continue northward. He would do his best to bring this deadlock back.

What Cheng Shijie can do, he, Lu Xiangsheng, can also do. Even if he can't do it, he must try his best.

When Lu Xiangsheng traveled thirty or forty miles north, he encountered the defeated Ming army. He talked with Cheng Shijie about how to hold the city of Pingding. That was because Xie Zhiliang used his status as the commander-in-chief of Taiyuan to gather the defeated troops.

The same is true for Lu Xiangsheng. He let the sound of thunder spread out like a big net. When encountering broken troops, he intercepted them. Those who were disobedient and greedy for life and feared death, no matter who they were, would be killed without mercy.

By adopting this approach, Lu Xiangsheng had more and more people around him.

……

In the camp of the Ming Dynasty Northern Expeditionary Army in Sanshen Mountain,
Yes, he was scared to death. Wu Sangui and Guan Ning's army rebelled. He was leading his servant cavalry to rampage in the Chinese army's camp. Around the camp, Jiannu cavalry, Mongolian cavalry, and Han army flags were all attacking.

The whole situation was in chaos. Zhu Chunchen, the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty's Northern Expeditionary Army, was very calm now. He sat firmly in the central tent and watched with cold eyes the thousands of troops and horses killing each other in rivers of blood. He watched with cold eyes the Qing army's ambushes. Come wild, expressionless.His calmness in turn affected the Ming army generals.

Zhu Chunchen did not open his mouth to give orders, so they took the initiative to direct the troops to fight independently, and started a desperate fight with the Qing army and Guan Ning army.The commander-in-chief Zhu Chunchen was so calm, which gave the Ming army confidence. However, if these generals took a closer look at Zhu Chunchen's crotch, they would find that this was not the case. That guy's crotch had already been wet!
This is not an agreement, this is just being scared!Zhu Chunchen's brain lost his thinking. He had never fought a real battle. He only received a shot at the Chinese army's tent, which injured an eunuch and killed four soldiers. However, Zhu Chunchen was so frightened that he peed.

Although Zhu Chunchen came from a family of generals, and although he had led troops, to survive was to lead the Beijing camp to practice for Emperor Chongzhen. An exercise is an exercise, and a real life-and-death war are two completely different concepts.

Zhu Chunchen had never seen such a terrifying scene with guns and cannons blaring, flags covering the field, and sharp arrows covering the sky. Never before had he seen a scene of 10,000+ troops fighting like wild beasts!I was just scared to the point of peeing, but not scared to death on the spot. That’s pretty cool!

Of course, even if they noticed that Zhu Chunchen peed his pants, everyone would still selectively ignore this and tell themselves that Zhu Chunchen was in charge.After all, the current situation is bad enough. If the commander-in-chief is still unreliable, it will be completely ruined!

Wu Sangui led the Yiding cavalry to charge straight at the enemy. Now the imperial flag was getting closer and closer, almost within reach.

However, at this moment, an infantry group appeared in front of the Guan Ning Army cavalry. This group of infantry were in ragged clothes, like beggars. Their equipment was very poor, and they even had very few archers. Each man had a spear, which was their weapon.

The Ming army was equipped with a lot of spearmen. This was not because the spears were powerful, but because they were very cheap. They had a hollow spear head, about three inches long, which was completely different from the spears shown in later generations or in movies and TV series.

Wu Sangui looked at this army and immediately realized that this was the Shizhu Sichuan Army.

Wu Sangui was no stranger to Shizhuchuan. As early as the Battle of Daling River, Wu Xiang had tricked the Shizhuchuan Army. He fled directly and gave the Sichuan Army's flank to Jiannu. Of the 3000 Baigan Sichuan Army, less than 4000 returned. After retreating, more than [-] people stayed on the banks of the Daling River.

When the enemy met, he was extremely jealous.

If the military expenditures of the Guan Ning Army were given to the Shizhu Sichuan Army, not to mention destroying the slaves, at least the results of the Daling River Battle could be rewritten. Even if one-tenth of the military expenses of the Shizhu Sichuan Army were given, they could forcefully establish at least three banners of the slaves.

The pikemen happened to have restrained the cavalry equipment. Wu Sangui charged for a long time, and the horses were about to run out of energy. Facing the Sichuan army's defense, their attack was immediately delayed.

Of course, the Sichuan Army was delaying the Guan Ning Army with their lives. After all, the equipment of the Guan Ning Army was too good. The inferior spears in their hands were not like Ning Haijun's spears. Ning Haijun's spears, even the Jinghong armored soldiers who built slaves, had no luck. No, it will still be stabbed to the core.Unfortunately, the quality of the Sichuan Army's spears was so poor that it was difficult to hit the armor of the Guan Ning Army soldiers at one time. They could only choose weak parts to attack.However, Wu Sangui's attack was successfully blocked.

Chongzhen looked at the bloody banner with Wu characters and was stunned: "This...isn't this the Wu family's army? I treat them well, why should they..."

When it comes to the military commander Emperor Chongzhen trusted most, many people subconsciously thought that the one he trusted most was Cheng Shijie. In fact, this is not the case. The person Emperor Chongzhen trusted most was Lu Xiangsheng. As early as the second year of Chongzhen, Lu Xiangsheng led nearly ten thousand famous people. Zhuang, go north to Qinwang.

Among the 140 prefectures in the [-] provinces of the two capitals of the Ming Dynasty, only Lu Xiangsheng, the prefect, recruited people to strengthen the Qin king in the north. Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen remembered Lu Xiangsheng. The second person was not Cheng Shijie, but Wu Sangui. As a person who likes to listen to storytelling scripts The emperors, Wu Sangui and Lu Xiangsheng were both really capable people. They could really fight with blood on the battlefield, just like Zhao Zilong.

Cheng Shijie really doesn't have the ability to catch generals and fight them.

Qin Yiming stumbled to the front of Qinjia and knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the rebels are coming too fiercely, and the ministers and others can no longer support them. I beg the emperor to retreat first to avoid any unexpected events!"

Chongzhen finally came to his senses and roared: "I won't leave! I will stay here! I want to see what those rebellious officials and traitors want, and I want to ask them why they betrayed me and the Ming Dynasty!"

Emperor Chongzhen was really angry. He asked himself whether he treated Lu Xiangsheng favorably. When the Tianxiong Army was established, he wanted people for people, food for food, and equipment for equipment. Cheng Shijie's Ninghai Kingdom did not have this treatment.

Of course, Lu Xiangsheng's treatment was not as good as Guan Ning's army. Although Guan Ning's army had been losing battles and had always been unclear about Jiannu, Emperor Chongzhen could hold his nose and tolerate it. This time the Northern Expedition made Guan Ning's army even more difficult. The main force, as the king of a country, he has already shown all his benevolence and justice to these Liaoxi warlords, right?
However, Guan Ningjun repaid his trust by betraying him before the battle, which made Chongzhen extremely angry. This anger even overwhelmed the fear of death. He just wanted to rush forward and ask Wu Sangui why he betrayed him and the Ming Dynasty!
Qin Yiming begged bitterly: "Your Majesty, the situation is critical, now is not the time to be angry! Leave quickly, otherwise it will be too late!"

I have to admit that Wu Sangui is an outstanding general. His commanding ability is much better than that of his father Wu Xiang. When he found that the Sichuan army was arrayed to fight, it was definitely not an option to rush forward, so he directly ordered his servants to ride and shoot. Unfortunately, , the Sichuan army had too few bows and crossbows, and it was impossible to take advantage of the crossfire.

And more importantly, they had low armor coverage and no shields. Under the rapid fire of Guan Ning's cavalry, they suffered heavy casualties. Just when Emperor Chongzhen was unwilling to retreat, the Sichuan Army's defense line was already crumbling.

This is not because the Sichuan army's combat effectiveness is not strong, nor is it that they do not know how to fight. Their equipment is too poor. What can they do?In the past, when the Sichuan army faced Jiannu, they were the ones who stood in front to protect the crossbowmen of other Ming troops. With the cover of other Ming army's crossbows, the Jiannu cavalry could not easily attack the Sichuan army's defense line.

There is nothing we can do now. The Beijing camp around Emperor Chongzhen blew up the camp without receiving it. It has not stabilized yet, and there is no one to cooperate with the Sichuan army in combat.

Unknowingly, the Sichuan army suffered heavy casualties. Wu Sangui had already fought until he was only 300 meters away from Ji Jia. He raised his sword and shouted wildly: "Capture Zhu Youjian alive!"

The Wu cavalry shouted wildly: "Capture Zhu Youjian alive! Capture Zhu Youjian alive!"

Chongzhen stared blankly at this group of ferocious spirits and smiled miserably: "Are these the soldiers I trust? Is this my Guan Ning army that relies on the Great Wall? I am blind!"

Emperor Chongzhen roared, threw off his crown, disheveled his hair, and wailed at the sky: "I'm blind!!!"

Amidst the unbridled shouts, the Wu cavalry came over like a tide. Qin Yiming roared helplessly and led the few remaining servants to fight Wu Sangui fiercely.

Naturally, Qin Yiming couldn't stop the fierce Wu cavalry, and was overwhelmed in the blink of an eye. Wu Sangui's cavalry rushed towards Jin Jia with a wild smile, extremely proud!
However, they laughed a little early.

"Bang bang bang..."

The deafening sound of gunfire rang out, frightening his horse to neigh wildly.He reined in his horse, turned his head to escape, and saw an infantry phalanx of a thousand people behind the Chinese army's tent. This infantry phalanx was hollow, with more than [-] meters between the phalanxes. musketeer.

This is the Li Chongzhen Department of the Tianxiong Army. Because Lu Xiangsheng was unwilling to be the commander-in-chief of the three armies, Li Chongzhen Department was also disbanded. About a thousand of them served as servants in the Beijing camp.

Treating the most capable generals as baggage and treating the most capable soldiers as the young master soldiers in the Beijing camp as logistics troops is a good thing Zhu Chunchen did.

However, this also received the tacit approval of Emperor Chongzhen.

If Emperor Chongzhen had not nodded, Zhu Chunchen would not have done so, because he knew that having a strong fighting force in his hands was the foundation of a general.

Fortunately, this unintentional move saved Emperor Chongzhen. The Tianxiong Army's firecrackers held firecrackers and fired furiously at the Guanning Army cavalry coming from the wilderness. Six cannons were roaring in front of them, shooting grape bullets. As dense as a heavy rain.

The Wu family's cavalry, which had always been unstoppable, encountered a strong resistance and was cut down like grass by this extremely fierce firepower.The Wu cavalry tried to attack from the front, but were beaten with corpses all over the ground. They finally rushed to the front of the square, and hail-like grape bullets hit them. The horses were frightened by the dense gunfire and neighed wildly. , dare not run into it dead or alive.

After the fire cannon attack, the Sichuan Army and the Tianxiong Army were killed and launched a local small counterattack. Wu Sangui's men were killed and the casualties skyrocketed!

Seeing this scene, Wu Sangui was unwilling to fight anymore. In just a quarter of an hour, he lost nearly half of the more than [-] troops under his command, and more than [-] people were killed or injured. This made Wu Sangui very distressed.

He took refuge in Jiannu, and soldiers and horses were the foundation of his survival.If he didn't have soldiers and horses in hand, Huang Taiji would definitely treat him as nothing.Chongzhen's kindness to Guan Ningjun was not completely unfavorable. At least there was a group of Guan Ningjun who were loyal to him and willing to fight for him, even if they drew swords against the former Paoze!

In the front camp, Zu Dabi of Guan Ning's army took a knife and started to kill three brothers, Zu Dashou and Zu Dacheng. Zu Dabi killed Zu Dashou while cursing Zu Dashou for being stupid and insulting his ancestors.

Zu Dashou had no way to explain it, because if he didn't join Jiannu, his deal with Jiannu would be exposed by Zu Dacheng, a bastard. There were some things that could be done but not said.

Just like the Nanjing real estate director who was dealt with in later generations, he smoked well and wore a famous watch. He was not alone, but he was exposed.Zu Dashou was not the only person who colluded with the slave establishment, but the problem was that once this matter was exposed, Emperor Chongzhen would definitely deal with him, and it would be certain that he would be dismissed from office and his property would be confiscated.

At that time, how many people were willing to follow him in the rebellion?

It would be better for Wu Sangui to retreat at this time and lose the intention to fight due to the civil strife of Guan Ning's army.

"retreat!"

Although the credit for capturing Emperor Chongzhen is not small, the problem is that the Jiannu cavalry has not yet broken through the defense line of the Ming army camp. This made Wu Sangui very dissatisfied. Huang Taiji's purpose of using him was too obvious. He was not like a polished commander. .

In this way, Wu Sangui ordered a retreat, and Emperor Chongzhen breathed a sigh of relief.

It wasn’t that Huang Taiji didn’t want to attack and captured the Ming Dynasty’s Northern Expeditionary Army in one fell swoop. This was because he was frightened by the Battle of Daling River. Even though he knew that the Ming Dynasty’s Northern Expeditionary Army had very little food and grass, as long as he surrounded the Ming Dynasty’s Northern Expeditionary Army, he could Why risk your life if you can win the final victory without any effort?
Now the Ming army still has some fighting capacity, that's because they still have some food and grass. If there is no food, how long can these hundreds of thousands of Ming army elites last?
Huang Taiji Zhuma looked at the battlefield coldly.

He was very satisfied with the current situation. The way forward was blocked and the retreat was cut off. Guan Ning's army stabbed him hard in the back. The successive blows plunged the Ming army into extreme chaos. Until now, they are still fighting on their own.

Behind the Ming army, pillars of smoke rose higher and higher. Who knows how much ordnance and supplies were burned in the raging flames. These ordnance and supplies were all mobilized from the Gyeonggi area!
From Beijing to Tianjin, it is nearly two thousand miles away. It is understandable that the cost of transferring so much ordnance materials is high. However, now these material transfer stations have turned into a sea of ​​fire in front of the roaring Manchurian cavalry, and every column of smoke The rush meant that the Ming Army's hope of survival was deprived, and the destruction of each material transfer station meant that the noose around the Ming Army's neck tightened a little more.

There is no suspense in this war.

The Gyeonggi army has been completely mobilized, and the Tianxiong Army's mobile strength has also been mobilized. The entire North Zhili and Shandong are empty. As long as this Ming army is annihilated and then marches into the pass, it will be easy to capture Beijing!

After capturing the entire Northern Zhili, we can recruit surrender and accept the rebels. With the Ning army as an example, it will be easy to mobilize an army of millions!Without food, the Tianxiong Army is destined to be ruined here. As long as the Guan Ning Army is destroyed, the Ming Dynasty will be completely destroyed.

As for Ning Haijun, it is a headache.

What Huang Taiji thought was that as long as he entered Beijing, he would have someone contact Cheng Shijie and make Cheng Shijie the King of Liao. So what?

Emperor Chongzhen can marry his sister to Cheng Shijie. Huang Taiji has no sister, but he still has a daughter. If he marries a daughter and changes the world, he will not suffer any loss.

However, what Huang Taiji failed to figure out was why these Ming armies did not collapse.

PS: By the way, I would like to make a few digressions. The setting of this book is because of Cheng Shijie. He told me that he had been suffering for half his life and wanted to be the protagonist in the book. I started this book based on his experience and actual situation. The setting is just a trick of God. In reality, Cheng Jiayue did not persist, Jiang Wenhua and Qiao Shuyuan also parted ways, and Cheng Shijie had not been in contact for nearly two and a half months. At that time, my mentality also collapsed. Poor and lowly couples are always sad, and bad luck is looking for them. Poor people.Lao Cheng will never add settings similar to this again in the future, which deceived myself. The protagonist of the last book was Quan Xu, and many people complained about it.
