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

Chapter 390 Huang Taiji’s nightmare begins
Chapter 390

Cheng Shijie did not expect that just two rounds of rocket fire would destroy the Sanhe Camp of the Qing Army.

It was indeed beyond Cheng Shijie's expectation. In fact, the Qing army also grew in the battle. In the past few days of shelling, the Qing army made rapid progress through learning from the war.

They have learned to lie down when facing artillery fire. As long as they crawl on the ground, the damage will be reduced. They also know that the dense formation they were best at is no longer practical. They spread out as much as possible, whether attacking or defending. Usually it is only one-eighth of the original size.

That is to say, the team that originally used 800 people to defend or attack now only uses 100 people, but is divided into eight waves. In this way, casualties are reduced, and the killing effect of Ning Haijun's rocket launchers is greatly reduced. Originally, it was , Ning Haijun's rocket launcher salvo can kill dozens or hundreds of them at the most. Now sometimes, a rocket launcher or artillery fire can hardly cause hundreds of casualties.

But the problem is that this time Huang Taiji sent more than [-] pig teammates. These pig teammates are the surrendered troops of the Beijing Camp. These troops have no actual combat experience, and they are both bold and timid. If they are asked to fight the enemy, they will be very courageous. Small, if they violate military discipline or contradict their superiors, they are surprisingly courageous.

Just like many landowners in Beizhili, they have more or less equipment at home. These equipments are sold by the soldiers in the Beijing camp, ranging from artillery to small firecrackers, spears and daggers. There is nothing they dare not sell.

In this case, after encountering the first round of rocket attacks, these Beijing camp firearms soldiers immediately herded sheep. Although Cheng Shijie's strategic purpose was to adopt refueling tactics in Sanhe to exhaust the main strength of the Qing army, the problem is that now The Qing army collapsed.

Then Ning Haijun would never let go of this opportunity. Ning Haijun's cavalry were like strong winds and fire, sweeping through most of the Qing army's camp in the blink of an eye. The Qing army was either blocked in the camp and slaughtered as pigs or was driven out of the camp. Headlessly rushing towards the unattacked fortress for protection.

The Qing troops in the camps that had not yet been attacked finally reacted. The crossbowmen and gunmen were in position, and some bronze cannons were also pulled over urgently, with the muzzles pointed in the direction of the roaring Ming cavalry.

There are still a total of sixteen forts that remain intact. These sixteen forts are horns with each other. There are thirty to forty thousand crossbowmen and musketeers inside. Once the firepower is fully activated, an airtight firepower network can be formed immediately. Kill all the enemy troops that come over.

Ning Haijun obviously knew this very well. They did not attack these fortresses rashly, but drove the Qing army's defeated troops over like sheep, trying to disrupt the Qing army's defense line and then take advantage of it.This is a tactic commonly used by the Mongols. If it is coordinated well, it is extremely powerful. Especially in night battles, it can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Of course, the Ming army would not pin all their hopes on a set of tactics that had been used for thousands of years. While vigorously driving the Qing army to attack the camp, their artillery units also drove over with their cannons drawn by horses. If the defeated army fails to break through the defense line of the Qing army, then bombard his sister with cannons!
Originally, this tactic could have achieved good results, but now that the Qing army was leaderless and panicked, it would be untenable if the army was defeated again.However, despite all their calculations, they missed Wu Sangui!The general of the Guan Ning Army subconsciously wanted to escape, but the cavalry of the Ning Navy surrounded him in an arc. Thousands of troops collapsed like an avalanche, leaving no room for him to escape at all. He was just wrapped in the collapse. In the middle of the army, people involuntarily poured into the Chinese army camp.

Now the general finally came to his senses and roared: "I am Wu Sangui, the commander-in-chief of the front camp of the Guan Ning Army! Send my order to close the camp gate immediately and fire artillery to bombard the enemy!"

Hundreds of Wu family servants shouted loudly, hundreds of voices roared out, overwhelming the noisy human voice. Both the defeated army and the Qing army holding on to the camp made him tremble with the roar, and he opened his mouth wide but could not make a sound.

Wu Sangui looked at the defeated soldiers and pretended not to hear them, so he directly swung his sword to chop at the defeated soldiers. The Wu family's soldiers beside him also followed the leader and chopped down the defeated soldiers.Whether it was a Mongolian or a Jiannu, Wu Sangui was very smart this time. He did not consider the consequences. Not to mention, under Wu Sangui's cold-blooded and ruthless killing, in just one stick of incense, The defeated troops were controlled.

When the defeated troops calmed down, Wu Sangui roared: "What are you waiting for? Fire! Block the enemy! If they charge over again, we will all die here!"

Lieutenant General He Wenshan pointed at the incoming troops and yelled: "But General Wu, if we fire, we will definitely accidentally injure many of our own soldiers!"

Wu Sangui gritted his teeth and said, "I don't care anymore, fire for me and push the enemy back!"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

Guan Ningjun has always abandoned his teammates at critical moments and escaped alone, but this time they did not escape, but instead became the backbone of the Qing army. I have to say, this is really ironic.

Looking at the defeated Qing troops who were being driven towards the camp by Ning Haijun's cavalry like sheep, Wu Sangui shouted: "Shoot the arrows, if something goes wrong, I will take care of it!"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

The sound of sharp arrows piercing the air merged into a storm and fiercely cut across the battlefield, making people's scalp numb. Everyone escaped from the sound, only to see the flaming arrows shooting out as the bowstrings trembled, crossing forty or fifty The Qing army's defeated troops fell in large groups, and the Ning Haijun cavalry in charge of herding sheep also fell in clusters.

Guan Ningjun's actions opened Pandora's magic. The Qing army, which was still hesitating at first, had an example and immediately opened fire. Several forts were filled with arrows, and the smoke and flames ejected from rows of muskets almost destroyed the forts. It turned into a sea of ​​fire.

Both the Ming and Qing armies were enveloped in the rain of arrows, their bodies twisted in pain in the terrifying metal storm, and they let out shrill screams.

Many Qing soldiers yelled in despair: "Don't you have eyesight? You can shoot your own people...ah!!!"

Before he even finished speaking, his whole body was covered with arrowheads, like a stack of arrows, making his death as ugly as possible.Presumably at this time, the Qing troops who were driven by Ning Haijun to attack their own camp must have collapsed in their hearts. They fled desperately, just to hide in the strong camp to avoid the enemy's pursuit. Now, not only are the friendly forces not Accept them and kill them...

"Wu Sangui, who entered your mother's household, this account..."

Before he finished this sentence, the real Borzigit Urut of the Niuluzhen with a yellow flag looked down at the arrowhead on his chest. Because when he was drinking, he was too drunk and took off his armor, so he had no armor on his body and was sharp. The arrowhead shot into his chest, and he was like a balloon punctured by a needle. His strength quickly drained away: "I will deal with you again in the next life!"

"Boom boom boom..."

A deafening roar came from the camp of Guan Ning's army. Twenty or thirty cannons roared. Rows of shells were wrapped in smoke and flames and shot out of the gun barrels, hitting the Ming army cavalry over the heads of the defeated army.

The shells of these cannons fell and bounced up again. Whether they were men or horses, they were all shattered in the moment the shells swept by. Blood and minced flesh flew everywhere, which was disgusting!With just one salvo, hundreds of Ning Navy cavalry were torn to pieces by the fierce artillery fire.

Of course, the Qing army's defeated troops suffered even more casualties. Many artillery shells landed among them, bouncing all the way. Wherever they went, there was a continuous sound of broken bones, broken limbs and pieces of flesh flying in the sky, and organs were thrown around and smashed. The Qing soldiers whose hands and feet were still alive wailed like dying beasts. The sound made people's hair stand on end.

The fierce artillery fire finally allowed the defeated troops to regain their composure. Gritting their teeth, they circled the camp and hid behind, not daring to rush straight to the waiting camp. The friendly troops holding the camp recognized them, but the muskets and crossbows did not recognize them, and the artillery shells did not recognize them. Knowing them, rushing over is a death!
The Qing army retreated and regained their composure, but the Mongolian cavalry under Ning Haijun lost their minds. Many cavalry roared and rushed towards the Qing army camp with sabers regardless of the officer's orders. Zhao Wencai couldn't hold back his drink and could only curse. : "You are going to die!" The roar of crossbows and the firing of muskets drowned out Zhao Wencai's voice. In front of the airtight fire net, these fierce and reckless Ninghai Navy Mongolian cavalry were three in a row and five in a row. In a clump, people and horses rolled into a ball as if they were being fired upon by a heavy machine gun.

Dozens of horsemen and horses, their bodies covered with arrows, rushed to the fence and swung their sabers to slash at the fence. This ferocity was truly frightening.However, fighting is not just about being fierce. These fences are made of trees as thick as a bowl. Even if you use a big ax to chop them down, it will take a lot of effort. If you want to chop them down in a short time with a saber, It's so unrealistic.

The light of the sword flashed, and there were deep knife marks on the fence. However, the spears thrust out from behind the fence knocked over the cavalry, both men and horses. The battle was completely one-sided.

Wu Sangui secretly breathed a sigh of relief and shouted loudly: "Yes, that's how we fight! They are all light cavalry and have no other weapons except sabers and bows. As long as we remain calm and composed, they can't even think of breaking into our camp... Fight, Hit me hard!"

The courage of the Qing army was doubled after being encouraged, and the sharp arrows they fired were denser than the heavy rain. With such density of firepower, unless they were equipped with heavy cavalry, they would die as many as they rushed forward.

The incoming Ning navy cavalry were fine. Their armor could ignore light arrows. As long as they didn't encounter armor-piercing arrows, and as long as they weren't unlucky enough to go to grandma's house and be shot in the throat and face, the impact would be minor.However, the Mongolian cavalry who surrendered to the Ning Navy all went into battle lightly. Many of them did not even wear breastplates, let alone uniforms. They were no different from being naked in front of the strong bows and crossbows of the Qing army. The cavalry that rushed forward were very fast. They were shot into sea urchins, and none of them came back.

Zhao Wencai rushed to Qi Yan's side and said sternly: "Control your troops and stop attacking. You are risking your death!"

Qi Yan's eyes were covered with a few bloodshot eyes. The Miao Dao, which was still dripping with blood, pointed at the Qing army camp and shouted: "What a great opportunity. They are panicked and frightened. As long as we work harder, we can defeat them." Completely defeat, and then break the army and kill the general! Just work harder!"

Zhao Wencai shouted: "Continuing to charge will lead to death! Let the artillery come over and smash the Jiannu camp. Don't attack before the artillery blasts the Jiannu camp. Otherwise, as many as you go up will die!"

Qi Yan was still reluctant, but looking at the dead bodies lying on the ground in front of the Qing army's camp, he could only grit his teeth and give up.

Now the Qing army has more crossbowmen than its total strength. It also has such strong fortresses and two to three hundred cannons. How can such a powerful defensive force be defeated by a light cavalry?Without a chance to win, he had no choice but to restrain the troops and ask them to suspend the attack. At the same time, he asked the artillery to quickly come over to build positions and use artillery shells to break open the turtle shells of the Qing army!

Ning Haijun's avalanche and tsunami-like offensive came to an abrupt end. Hauge, who had escaped from Sanhe for nearly twenty miles, was a little unbelievable when he received the news. However, he repeatedly confirmed that the camp was still there. Hauge and Jierharang descended, and everyone was cleared. The soldiers all breathed a sigh of relief.

When Hauge returned to the camp, he discovered that although these Ning navy cavalry were powerful in combat, they were not as powerful as they imagined. Facing their concrete defense, they were helpless. Without the cooperation of infantry and artillery, even this Three to four thousand light cavalry were all killed in front of their camp, and there was no way they could shake them at all.

As long as we can hold on until dawn, everything will be easy. Once daybreak, the enemy's situation will be clear, and we can calmly deploy whether to retreat or counterattack, as long as we can hold on until dawn!
The sky is brightening, and a straight ray of dawn shines on the ancient city walls of Beijing. This ancient city that has gone through thousands of years of vicissitudes gradually wakes up from its slumber.

The war in Sanhe seemed to be close to Beijing. After everyone woke up, those who could afford it had some breakfast, while those who could not afford it went hungry, cheered up, and started a new day's work.

Traffickers and lackeys are rushing around for two meals a day, merchants and hawkers are chasing petty profits, brothels and prostitutes are soliciting customers, and dignitaries and dignitaries are courting horses and working in camps. Each has its own way of life, and each has its own excitement and bitterness.

After a few days of chaos, order has been restored in the city of Beijing. After Huang Taiji brutally killed a group of lawless guys, no one dared to rob and kill like he did when he first entered the city.

After that, Huang Taiji asked the old ministers of the Ming Dynasty to pay a large amount of money and grain as a certificate of surrender, and then used part of it to help the hungry people in the capital. The combination of kindness and power quickly stabilized people's hearts.

As Ning Haijun and the Qing army fought inextricably in Sanhe, good news came one after another, and more and more people became excited. The emperor of the Qing Dynasty had great talents and strategies, and had a large number of capable ministers. , and there are hundreds of thousands of tiger and wolf troops, maybe they can really achieve something big?

Maybe defecting to him is really a way out?

In this world, the most important thing is to survive and stand out. What is loyalty to the emperor and patriotism?Nonsense, all the loyal and patriotic people died on the Liaodong battlefield!

Huang Taiji is indeed the most terrifying enemy of the Ming Dynasty. If he is given enough time, he will definitely be able to fully integrate the resources that the Ming Dynasty left behind, or even the resources that the Ming Dynasty failed to utilize, and build a powerful empire. It may be difficult to unify China. , but it is not difficult at all to dominate East Asia and eye North Korea and Japan. Unfortunately, this lifelong enemy of the Ming Dynasty also has a terrible opponent, and when his foothold is not stable, this terrible opponent has been exposed. Sharp fangs.

As soon as the Dongzhimen city gate opened, Chuanqi flew in under the sunshine, knocking down several people along the way without looking back, and ran towards the city regardless of the situation. Wherever he went, he was filled with complaints, frightened or splashed. The officers, soldiers and civilians covered in mud all shouted loudly: "You blind and despicable barbarians, are you rushing to reincarnate? Wait until the next horse stumbles and kills you!"

They only focused on scolding each other, but no one thought that the reason why this legend ran in such a hurry was because the beacon tower in Dong'an County, less than two hundred miles away, had already lit up a beacon fire, and a column of smoke shot straight into the sky!
The [-]th and [-]th brigades of Ning Haijun, which had not moved at all, under the command of Chen Dayong, rushed north with thunderous force, blocking the [-] lines of defense in front of Ning Haijun. They only lasted for one morning before the entire line collapsed.

In the Golden Palace of the Forbidden City, hundreds of civil servants and officials were kneeling all over the place. There were hundreds of them. Most of the Han civil servants and elites of the Donglin Party that the Jianzhou Group had recruited for decades were here.

Huang Taiji was wearing a dragon robe and sitting on a dragon chair, high up, asking about the world's major events.He has lost weight even more. If Mang Gurtai was still here, he would definitely not dare to call him Fatty anymore. He has lost weight several times, okay?
There is no way, there are too many things to worry about. On the surface, the Qing Dynasty is victorious, and countless civil and military talents are owned by the Qing Dynasty. The situation is very good, not a small good, but a great good!
However, Huang Taiji, Fan Wencheng and others knew very well that the current situation of the Qing Dynasty was far from as optimistic as it seemed. Ning Haijun was accumulating strength and might go north at any time, and they had not been able to capture the escaped Queen Zhou and Prince Zhou. Catch them back.

The most terrible thing is that there has been no news about Dorgon. He entered the Central Plains through Jingxing Pass in Shanxi. The plan to destroy the Daming Road is progressing slowly. On the contrary, more and more Ning Haijun has gathered in Sanhe and Dong'an. In short, it is a headache!

Huang Taiji walked on thin ice, taking every step cautiously, for fear that he would be doomed if he made a wrong step. This emperor did not take it easy.

However, hard work paid off, and he still enjoyed the feeling of being aloof and having the fate of hundreds of millions of people in his hands. Isn't this what he is pursuing when he is an emperor?

"Greetings to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

"You Aiqings are flat!"

Huang Taiji was doing routine official duties, but his eyelids were twitching, which made him uneasy. Especially when he saw Fan Wencheng's anxious face, his hands began to tremble.
