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

Beijing City, Chaoyang Gate.

Because the last time Huang Taiji entered Beijing, the Red Lady set up an ambush here, which made the Qing army disgraced.Therefore, in a rage, they demolished all the residential buildings within five miles of Chaoyang Gate.

Nowadays, everything outside Chaoyang Gate is flat.

This has made it easier for Ning Haijun's artillery to build artillery positions. As Cheng Shijie figured out, he could not keep the city of Beijing if he wanted to. At worst, he would destroy it and rebuild it. Now, unlike later generations, Ming Dynasty still has a large number of Craftsmen can completely restore a brand new Beijing city.

In this way, Cheng Shijie ordered the bombardment of Beijing.

Yuan Shiliang asked: "Commander, should you use the rocket launcher or the breech-loading rifled gun first?"

Cheng Shijie said without thinking: "Use the rocket launcher first, the shells of this thing are cheap!"

"Understood!"

Yuan Shiliang turned around and ordered: "Aim the rocket launcher at Chaoyang Gate and destroy their fortifications!"

As Yuan Shiliang's voice came out from the intercom, each rocket launcher group immediately adjusted its firing device up and down and aimed at the Chaoyang Gate fortifications.The shells have been loaded long ago and are just waiting to be fired!
At this time, a large cloud of gunpowder smoke suddenly rose from the Chaoyangmen Fort, and a lead ball came through the air, hitting a shell that rolled into the Ninghai rocket launcher. Three of the four solid shells missed, killing two Ninghai navy soldiers. The soldiers were killed on the spot, and a rocket launcher was smashed into parts before it could even launch.

However, the Ning navy soldiers ignored their own casualties. The power of the Hongyi cannon was really good!It's a pity that the accuracy is not good. If Ning Haijun's military formation is in chaos, they can continue to cause casualties to Ning Haijun. It is just a pity that the rocket launcher did not give them a chance.

"emission!"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

A dense and sharp whistling sound rose from the ground. Hot air waves erupted from the rocket launcher tube. White smoke rolled like a wall. Fire dragons shot out from the launch tube. The ballistic trajectories were crisscrossed and intersected in an instant. It turned into a terrifying fire net, whistling sharply and slamming towards Chaoyang Gate!
The soldiers and generals of the Qing army who were waiting in full formation all raised their heads in shock, and their faces turned pale as they looked at the fierce curtain of fire: "It's the same thing again."

Guess right, but no prize.

The next moment, the fire curtain fell, and the explosions bloomed like a kaleidoscope, expanded into a large ball of fire, and spread at an alarming speed. The thunderous explosion made the sky rumble and the earth shook violently. Many Qing soldiers only felt their legs He collapsed and fell to the ground!

As they watched in stunned silence, the Chaoyang Gate turned into a boiling crater, from which terrifying flames erupted. The Yang Chao Gate was once again exploded into pieces. The biggest feature of the rocket launcher was that it was not very accurate. It was clearly aimed at Chaoyang. As a result, more than one-third of the rocket shells flew directly through Chaoyang Gate and entered the inner city.

The residential buildings and trees on the streets in the inner city were either cut into toothpicks by the flying shrapnel, or turned into torches by the high temperature generated by the explosion. Fires burned raging in the tree crowns, and rocket shells fell like meteors and fire showers. The fire burned wherever it happened, and the entire area within three miles of Chaoyang Gate was a sea of ​​fire.

No one knows how many people were blown to pieces in an instant, and those who were still alive screamed in terror in the fire, or ran wildly on the streets like headless flies with their children and old people on their backs, even themselves. I don’t know what I’m shouting.

Even though he had seen Ning Haijun's rocket launchers, Huang Taiji's face was extremely ugly when he saw that just the first round of attacks caused such heavy losses.

Wen Tiren's forehead was covered with cold sweat: "It's terrible, it's terrible..."

Fan Wencheng looked at Huang Taiji with difficulty: "Your Majesty..."

"Attack!"

Huang Taiji now understood that with the power of Ning Navy's artillery, hiding in the difficult situation to defend was definitely asking for death. Only by leaving the city could there be a chance of survival.

Of course, he did not leave the city directly through Chaoyang Gate, but ordered to leave the city through Yongding Gate.

"Dong dong dong dong..."

The war drums rumbled, shaking the heaven and the earth. Tens of thousands of Qing troops poured out from the city, with a mighty force like a flood.The vanguard was the Xianghuang Banner led by Hauge himself, then the Guan Ning Army led by Wu Xiang and Zu Dashou, then the Zhenghuang Banner, the Xiangbai Banner, and finally the Four Mongolian Banners and the Four Han Banners. Hunting, the momentum is overwhelming.

The people in the capital who witnessed this scene were secretly horrified. They had always thought that Jiannu was dead and would be doomed. How could they have thought that they still had such great military might?

Amidst the tsunami-like shouts of long live the city, Huang Taiji, wearing golden armor and riding a tall horse, slowly walked towards the city gate surrounded by thousands of white-armored soldiers wearing heavy armor.

His golden armor was extremely gorgeous, and coupled with his burly body, he was really imposing.

Civil and military officials knelt down on both sides of the avenue, their foreheads touching the ground, and they did not dare to raise their heads. Although they all had strange thoughts when they saw the Qing army retreating, they did not dare to show the slightest bit in front of Huang Taiji. Fat people are not vegetarians!

Huang Taiji's eyes swept over this group of civil servants with an expressionless face. He knew very well that these scholar-bureaucrats were all unfamiliar dogs. They were still groveling in front of him, but once he was defeated, these guys would immediately become The vicious dogs swarmed him and tore him into pieces!

Huang Taiji had no retreat, and neither did the Qing Empire!

This is the last army that Huang Taiji has finally assembled after trying his best and going through all the hardships. If he wins this battle, he may still have a chance to survive. If he loses, everything will be over.

It took a lot of effort to gather 7000 people. He only left 7000 people to guard Beijing. The main force was mobilized and there was no reserve team at all!

In fact, it is useless to keep a reserve force. There are fierce battles in Dong'an and Fengtai. The troops who have not rushed to Beijing to participate in this fierce battle are desperately blocking the Ming army that is encircling them from all directions. Even doubling his force may not be able to change the situation. In this situation where there is smoke and fire on all sides, we might as well make a desperate move and fight to the death with Cheng Shijie!

As long as he defeated Cheng Shijie, the morale of the Ming army would be severely damaged, and he would be able to reverse the situation; if he lost... he wouldn't have to worry about how to reverse the situation.

Fan Wencheng knelt at the gate of the city and blocked the way, weeping, and shouted: "Your Majesty, you are the king of a country, there is no reason to go to battle in person! I implore the Emperor to drive back, and you must not go to the battlefield to take risks!"

Huang Taiji smiled: "Fan Aiqing doesn't need to persuade me anymore. I have already made a decision and I will not change it again! During this period, all matters will be left to Aiqing to handle, please!"

Fan Wencheng cried loudly: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, it has been the duty of military commanders to kill generals and capture flags. How can there be any reason for the emperor to go into battle in person? I beg your Majesty to come back and leave the battle matters to the princes. Never go to the battlefield. Take an adventure!”

Fan Wencheng was so excited that if there weren't so many people watching, he might really burst into tears.This is not pretending. For him, Huang Taiji and his son are his biggest backers and the guarantee of his survival. If Huang Taiji died on the battlefield and Cheng Shijie entered Beijing with the remaining power of victory, he would have no choice but to be killed by a thousand cuts. It’s your fault!
So Fan Wencheng cried so sadly, partly because he really didn't want Huang Taiji to take risks on the battlefield, and the other half was out of fear and despair about the future.

Huang Taiji smiled bitterly.He had fought against Ning Haijun not once or twice. How could he not know how dangerous the battlefield where Ning Haijun appeared was?Let's not talk about the rocket launchers and breech-loading rifled guns that killed and injured a large number of people in one shot. The muskets alone were deadly enough.During the Chaoyangmen raid, he saw with his own eyes a bullet fired from 800 meters away, hitting a Fende Bashiku next to him, and beating that Fende Bashiku's head to pieces on the spot. Seventeen or eighty yuan!

Ning Haijun recognizes him, but Ning Haijun's bullets and cannonballs don't recognize him. If he gets hit, he will die!But he had no choice. Now the Qing army was losing consecutive battles and their morale was low. In order to boost morale, he had no choice but to go into battle himself!
The man with excellent skills comforted Fan Wencheng with gentle words, gave a few words of advice to Wen Tiren and others, and then rode out of Yongding Gate.

I don't know what happened, but the moment Huang Taiji walked out of the city gate, his mood was shaken. The depression and anger that had been simmering in his chest for a long time disappeared. The hesitation about the future and the fear of the Ming army's invasion also disappeared. Everything was blown away by the wind blowing from the wilderness, and the long-lost lofty ideals came to my heart. The feeling of riding horses and whips to point the country, and talking and laughing, and the oars were wiped out, came back.

Now Huang Qijiji had no other thoughts but a showdown with Cheng Shijie, who almost killed him a few years ago.

The Qing army seemed to be able to sense that their master was back in good health, and they were greatly excited, and the cheers of "Long live" shook the world.Amid the fanatical cheers, tens of thousands of Qing troops stretched for more than ten miles, like a huge iron arrow, sweeping towards the right wing of Cheng Shijie's attack.

"Report to the commander-in-chief that the Qing army has dispatched from Yongding Gate!"

"Finally willing to come out of the turtle shell?"

Cheng Shijie rubbed his hands and said, "How many of them came out?"

"Seventy-eight thousand people?"

"Huang Taiji doesn't want to live anymore?"

"Does he have a choice?"

Zhou Ning laughed.

"That's true!"

At this time, the vanguard of the Qing army's huge force was already fighting with Ning Haijun's vanguard.

Seeing more and more Qing troops coming over, more than a dozen rocket launchers from Ning Haijun came in a hurry. The combat effectiveness of the Qing army was really hard to predict. Facing the cavalry reconnaissance force of Ning Haijun, they actually had the upper hand.

Seeing that more than [-] Ning Haijun were about to be swallowed up by these Qing army forward troops, at this moment, a dozen rocket launchers fired eighty or ninety rockets.

These eighty or ninety rocket shells were very magical. They all landed in the formation of the Qing army's leading troops. The shock wave of the explosion blew them into the air like rags.

With this round of rocket bombardment, the Qing army, which had the absolute upper hand in the outpost battle, was instantly overwhelmed.

As the troops of Ning Haijun and Qing Army continued to arrive, the two sides faced off ten miles apart.The Qing army was afraid of the heavy artillery in the hands of the Ming army. Ten miles. The Ming army was afraid of the lightning assault of the powerful cavalry group in the hands of the Qing army. Ten miles was a distance that both sides could barely accept. If it was any closer, it would probably be a midnight adult movie. , everyone can stab whoever they want.

Amid the earth-shattering cries for victory, Cheng Shijie, surrounded by his own soldiers, went to the frontline battlefield where corpses lay everywhere.

Ordinary infantrymen dug horse pits frantically.Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the number of Qing cavalry is more than five times that of Ning's cavalry. They will definitely be attacked by the Qing cavalry, so it is better to prepare in advance.

Each department works step by step, working on its own in an orderly manner.Originally, these tasks should be done by civilians, but Ning Haijun's habit is to do the fortifications by himself. Ning Haijun's soldiers were busy working. A puff of smoke and dust rose in the distance, and a Qing army messenger came galloping over. Ning Haijun looked up and looked up. After a moment, he ignored it and continued to dig the horse pit with his head down.

The messenger came very quickly. He arrived in front of the formation in the blink of an eye. He stopped about a hundred meters away and shouted: "I am the messenger of His Majesty the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty. I am here to convey the emperor's will and ask the Ming Dynasty to oversee the country as regent." Come out and see the king!"

Ning Haijun was stunned. They all stopped what they were doing and looked at the messenger. The same thought flashed through everyone's mind: "What tricks does this guy want to play?"

Cheng Shijie rode out of the crowd on a tall horse and said, "I am Cheng Shijie!"

The messenger cupped his hands on horseback and said: "Prince Regent, I have admired you for a long time!"

Cheng Shijie said: "Stop talking nonsense, why did your master send you here?"

The messenger didn't talk nonsense and got straight to the point: "My emperor wants the regent to come over and gather at a pavilion by the roadside five miles away."

Cheng Shijie frowned: "Huang Taiji wants to see me? What tricks does he want to play?"

The messenger said: "Don't get me wrong, Prince Regent. My Emperor has no other intentions. He just wants to meet your opponent. My Emperor said that as early as after the Battle of Baliwan, he has always wanted to meet and have a chat with the Prince Regent." , now that the decisive battle is around the corner, I’m afraid it’s his last chance, and he doesn’t want to leave any regrets.”

Before Cheng Shijie could speak, Zhou Ning yelled out: "Commander, you must not do it! Jiannu has many tricks, so don't fall for his deception!"

The messenger was unmoved, but looked at Cheng Shijie with a sneer and a hint of contempt.

Cheng Shijie was not worried about Huang Taiji's dirty tricks, because Ning Haijun had absolute control of the battlefield within five miles. Even a three-inch rifled cannon could hit five miles away. What's more, there were a large number of people behind him. rocket launcher and rifleman.

Cheng Shijie: "I also want to talk to your master. Please lead the way."

Zhang Yu, Wu Sheng, Zhou Ning and others were horrified and shouted in unison: "Commander!"

Cheng Shijie smiled relaxedly: "It's okay. I'll chat with him for a few words and then come back. Hou Si, let's go!"

Cheng Shijie only took a few dozen personal followers with him, and followed the messenger towards the pavilion several miles away.

Looking at Cheng Shijie's back, Zhou Ning said: "Yuan Shiliang!"

"The end is here!"

Zhou Ning roared angrily: "Aim at Changting for me. If Jiannu dares to play any tricks, I'll shoot him! If he gets brave and wants to plot against the commander again, you guys will blow him to ashes!" (End of Chapter)
