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

Chapter 403 The belt is broken and arsenic is painful

Chapter 403

Although the remnants of the Qing army were intercepted in front and pursued behind, the problem was that they did not have the courage to face Ning Haijun behind them, so they vented all their strength and anger on Song Xiance's troops.

Everyone including Guan Ningjun believed that this Ming army was far from being a match for Ning Haijun, because they did not have Ning Haijun's terrifying rocket launchers or powerful artillery.

These soldiers of the Qing army are actually already making their final fight. They are too aware of their consequences. It is just like when drug lords face the police. Persuading them to surrender has almost no effect. They know the crimes they have committed. Even if they know the crimes they have committed, Surrendering oneself will inevitably result in death. With their crimes in Gyeonggi, Cheng Shijie will never let them go.

Even if they put down the butcher's knife, there is no amnesty in Ning Haijun's system. They will kill those who deserve to be killed and chop those who deserve to be chopped off. They have no choice but to fight to the end.

The Qing cavalry ignored the rows of spears pointed at them in front and rushed to the end!
Immediately, there was the muffled sound of the sharp blade tearing flesh and blood, the crisp sound of the spear shaft breaking the chest, the dying wail of the war horse, the roar from the lungs of the soldiers of both armies, the earth-shattering sound, and the three or four rows of spears in front of Ning Haijun's cold army. At least half of the soldiers were knocked away, and the cavalry of the Qing army crashed into the heavy infantry array of the Cold War Army with thunderous momentum. Blood sprayed everywhere at the moment of contact.

The spear penetrated the body of the war horse. The knight on the horse was either nailed to the horse by the spear or thrown away by the fallen horse. He fell to the ground in darkness. Several long knives were flying along the armor in the dance of Venus. The leaf gap stabbed them hard and nailed them to the ground!
If you look down from a high altitude, you will see such a terrifying scene. Thousands of Qing heavy cavalry roared and slammed into the clumps of spears as if they were tired of living, while the spearmen also roared and charged forward. He aimed the sharp edge at the chest of the war horse that was charging at high speed, even though he knew that the only result of doing so would be to die together without any hesitation!
This kind of flesh-and-blood collision is undoubtedly extremely brutal. Although the pikemen who blocked the heavy cavalry suffered heavy casualties, the heavy cavalry who desperately collided with them were also bound to die. They were either stabbed to death on the spot or thrown into the heavy infantry side by the crazy horses. The formation was smashed into sieves, and some of them broke through six rows of spearmen and rushed into the Ning Haijun cold weapon phalanx.

It's just a pity that after the delay of six platoons of Ning Navy pikemen, the charging Qing heavy cavalry had exhausted the charging speed. At this time, thousands of heavy infantry raised their weapons and fired huge weapons. The ax or the sword fell down on their heads and chopped them into pieces!
It is said that nine out of ten soldiers who rushed into the battle were killed, but no one of the Qing heavy cavalry was spared. They all fell down. Thousands of heavy cavalry were thrown out at once as cannon fodder. Huang Taiji was really generous!

The last frantic war horse collapsed after the ax flashed, and this round of thrilling flesh-and-blood collision ended.However, at this time, tens of thousands of Qing troops were approaching with overwhelming force, and countless long weapons were aimed at the spearmen of the Ning Haijun Cold Weapon Corps.

Now, the condition of the pikemen is a bit bad. The desperate collision of the Qing army's heavy cavalry just now has disrupted their formation. The Qing army did not give them any chance to breathe. Rows of pikes were slowly pushed over!

Flesh and blood flew everywhere, severed limbs and broken weapons scattered all over the place!
Behind, the Ning Haijun Guards Brigade led by Cheng Shijie also encountered trouble in pursuit. The Qing soldiers in the trapped beasts were holding explosive packs or wounded soldiers lying directly on the ground, waiting for Ning Haijun to rush up, and then Detonate explosives and die together with the pursuers of the Ning Navy Guards Brigade.

In just half a mile, the Ning Navy Guards Brigade paid the price of more than [-] casualties.

Cheng Shijie had to slow down his pursuit. It was very unwise to pay heavy casualties when victory was imminent. Although the casualties of the Ning Haijun Cold Weapon Corps were not small, they didn't care, especially when Song Xiance used a walkie-talkie to communicate with Cheng Shijie called.

Song Xiance implored Cheng Shijie to give them a chance to perform. If Ning Haijun's hot weapons troops were to take action in everything, they soldiers would die of shame.

Of course Cheng Shijie knew Song Xiance's mood. Ning Haijun was a force that valued strength. If they didn't have the ability to fight tough battles, it would be difficult for them to stand up in Ning Haijun's system.

For Cheng Shijie, this battle was the last battle between the Qing army and Ning Haijun, but for Ning Haijun, this battle was just the beginning.

Yes, this is the beginning of Ning Haijun's journey from a local vassal town to the whole country. A new journey is about to begin. No one wants to lag behind in Ning Haijun's system and become a bystander.

Cheng Shijie agreed to Song Xiance's request. As the commander-in-chief of Ning Haijun, since he had incorporated the Dashun Army, he had to give the old Dashun Army a chance to perform, so he needed to give it.

The most brutal cold weapon duel broke out outside Yongding Gate. Both sides were wearing heavy armor and holding long soldiers. They advanced fiercely and fought one after another. There was no room for dodge. They could only raise their spears and stab at the enemy again and again. , or just watch the spear stab you. If it hits you, you're dead. If it doesn't, congratulations, you can live for a few more seconds!

Many spearmen stabbed the enemy with one spear, and before they had time to withdraw their spears, they were stabbed by the spears thrust by the opponent. They died together with the enemy. The few meters between the two clusters of spears became the most terrifying death zone in the world. The god of death is hovering above everyone's head, and no one knows whether he can survive to the next second!

Huang Taiji stared at the battlefield nervously, and the knuckles of the hand holding the riding crop turned blue and white due to excessive exertion.

This time he has staked his last capital. If he can win, there is still a glimmer of hope. If he cannot break through, everything will be over!

And this little-known enemy army seemed to be much tougher than he imagined. Guan Ning's army attacked like moths to the flames, heavy cavalry charged into the battle in a suicidal manner, and tens of thousands of Qing army infantry charged in a sea of ​​people. There was nothing they could do. Crush them!
Although the array of the Dashun Army had been dented, Douda's handsome flag with the word "Song" in it never moved back half a step, and the soldiers who spoke countless weird dialects also didn't take a half step back and fell down. Another platoon came up, one shot for another, one life for one. Their ferocity and tenacity made even Huang Taiji feel frightened.

"It collapsed... You all collapsed for me...!"

Huang Taiji's prayers were of no use at all. He actually didn't understand that the people of Ming Dynasty had the bloody bravery of the Han family in their bones. When the dynasties collapsed, they almost always said that the army was corrupt and had no fighting capacity.

In fact, the soldiers at the bottom are still the bravest soldiers. They don’t actually need much, they just need a relatively fair treatment. Not every army can fight the enemy even if they owe thirteen months. After the last soldier was killed and the current Dashun Army became the Ning Navy, they received full military pay for the second month.

They were also assigned fields that belonged to them. Yes, when the Dashun Army accepted the reorganization of Ning Haijun, land reform was also carried out in the areas controlled by the Dashun Army. This land reform was slightly different from that of previous dynasties. Not everyone All can be assigned to Yongye Field.

But Ning Haijun soldiers and their families can. The fields they are assigned are directly linked to their performance in the army. Surrender on the battlefield, escape before the battle, surrender and rebel, the fields they are assigned and the land assigned to their family members will all be affected. To be cancelled, to be deprived of.

Although this policy is cruel and somewhat unkind, the problem is that as a local military town, there is nothing that can be done about it. After all, Cheng Shijie is not the emperor. He can only guarantee the interests of Ning Haijun's soldiers and their families, but cannot guarantee the interests of everyone. Benefit.

With their own land, their own house, Cheng Shijie's military salary directly in their hands, and the military pay that will not be exploited at all levels, the Dashun Army, these newly joined Ning Haijun soldiers would rather die than become Ning Haijun of deserters.

Ning Haijun's cold weapon army has not collapsed yet, but the Qing army is about to collapse.

Under Huang Taiji's order, they could certainly risk their lives to attack the enemy formation and fight to the death, but when the battle situation reached a stalemate, they realized that they were the last remaining members of the Qing army in Guan Nei, even if they could defeat the opponent in front of them. , the Ming army will still continue to flow in, legion after legion encircling them from all directions. Are they still capable of defeating an elite legion of the Ming army?

Whenever this thought flashes through his mind, and he looks at the opponents in front of him who have the same perseverance as a camel, no matter how fierce the Qing general is, he can't help but feel a sense of powerlessness.You have the intention to kill the enemy, but you are unable to save him, that's probably what happened.

Huang Taiji was almost in despair. The battlefield was out of control and he had very few reserves left. However, the opponent with the endurance of a camel had no intention of collapsing. If the fight continued like this, this was where he would be buried. That’s it.

Huang Taiji gritted his teeth, stretched out his hand for a saber, and shouted: "Cavalry with the yellow flag, charge with me! All of them press forward and defeat the opponent!"

All the generals were horrified, and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty must not!"

Huang Taiji looked ferocious: "If we don't fight to clear a bloody path, my army will be destroyed here! Soldiers of the three armies, charge with me!"

The thousands of cavalrymen of Zhenghuang Banner had been charging for several rounds and were quite tired. However, when they saw Huang Taiji picking up his saber, they cheered up and replaced their horses with relatively stronger stamina. They leveled their spears and spears and prepared to charge. , a face covered in blood and sweat with claws and claws showing a tragic look of death.

However, Huang Taiji didn't know that even if he could break through Song Xiance's cold weapon army, he would lose the possibility of rushing into the capital again.

Because at the same time, Ning Haijun's Eighth Brigade pounced on Andingmen and Deshengmen respectively, and the Seventh Brigade pounced on Guangqumen. It was only a matter of time before they captured Beijing.

What made Huang Taiji even more desperate was that the infantry of the Guards Brigade led by Cheng Shijie rushed up from behind. The infantry is different from the cavalry. Once the cavalry loses its speed, it is a target, but if the infantry slows down, the threat can be reduced.

"Bang bang bang..."

Ning Haijun's infantry faced the Jiannu in front, whether they were wounded soldiers, dead soldiers in the rear, or "corpses", they would replenish their guns in advance.In this way, those dead soldiers of the Qing army did not even have time to detonate the explosive bags in their hands, and it was even impossible for them to die together with Ning Haijun soldiers.

As Ning Haijun's infantry followed from all directions, further compressing the living space of the remaining Qing troops. There were fewer and fewer remaining Qing troops, and the scope of their military formations was further compressed. As the encirclement became smaller and smaller, they could even be seen through at a glance. .

Under the silvery moonlight, the black Ning navy came over the wild like a rising tide. The world was filled with the rumble of thousands of troops and horses galloping past, and the sound of people shouting and horses neighing almost drowned out everything.

Behind the Ning navy cavalry were a large number of infantry, and countless torches formed a fire dragon that stretched for ten miles, rolling and winding.

Zhou Ning stood in front of Cheng Shijie's horse: "Commander, you must not lead the charge now. Give the soldiers a chance to perform. You will not even deprive the soldiers of the opportunity to make contributions, right?"

Obviously knowing that Zhou Ning was using the provocation method, Cheng Shijie had to admit that he was no longer needed as a commander on the battlefield. Under the current situation, even if the shaman charged with a helmet on his head, the defeat of the Qing army could not be reversed. .

The current remnant of the Qing army only has more than [-] people, and more importantly, Ning Haijun's artillery is slowly catching up. Ning Haijun will never risk his life for enemies that can be eliminated with artillery.

Cheng Shijie nodded and said, "As you wish!"

"Commander, do you want to persuade me to surrender?"

Cheng Shijie shook his head and said, "No need!"

"Commander, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty still accepted the surrender of Jieli Khan..."

"This is different. Jieli Khan was able to break through the pass, enter Guanzhong, and reach the Great Wall. He did not have time to lead his army to massacre the people of Chang'an!"

Cheng Shijie said: "I am not qualified to persuade people to surrender. More than a million people died in the Ming Dynasty under the knife of Jiannu. Will those people who died under the knife of Jiannu forgive them? Certainly not. If they lose, they can surrender. No I have already given them the chance to do such a cheap thing, but Huang Taiji is unwilling to surrender, so there is no point in asking them to surrender now!"

Zhou Ning said: "I finally understand!"

"Yuan Shiliang, have you seen where Huang Taiji is?"

"I see!"

"Concentrate all the artillery and destroy Huang Taiji!"

"Yes!"

In terms of shooting speed, rocket launchers are definitely faster than breech-loading rifled artillery. But the problem is that when it comes to shooting accuracy, it is definitely still breech-loading rifled artillery.

"Boom boom boom..."

Through the telescope, it can be seen that orange-red fireballs appeared around Huang Taiji's royal flag. The shells landed and exploded. The shock wave of the explosion swept away the guards and soldiers around Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji was lucky and survived the first round of bombardment, but the god of fate did not favor him forever. During the second round of bombardment, a shell exploded the long knife of a Qing soldier, and half of the blade seemed like Like flying shrapnel, Huang Taiji's horse and his body were cut into two pieces.

Huang Taiji died. He died under the artillery of the 209rd company, [-]nd platoon and [-]th squad of the [-]th artillery battalion of the [-]th Ninth Brigade of the Ninghai Navy. The gunner Yang Xi danced excitedly...

With the fall of Huang Taiji, this thrilling battle finally came to a bloody end.This time when the Qing army went south, Huang Taiji tried his best to gather the most powerful force he could muster. Except for more than 14 of the [-] Eight Banners troops who stayed at the pass, the rest all followed him into the pass. He personally led the way. , Dorgon led the way.

It also includes the Monan Mongolian Army, the Mobei Mongolian Army, and the Junggar Army. They have almost mobilized the last man who can hold a sword and draw a bow. Together with the Ming Army who has taken refuge, the total strength is more than 40 Ten thousand!

However, so far, the Mongolian army has basically not even a scum left. Dorgon was shot to death by Song Xiance and the Shanxi army at the first opportunity.

The army led by Huang Taiji himself was the last army he could control. Now even this army is finished. In this huge gamble that determines the fate of the two ethnic groups, he lost, completely. , a complete loss.

The Qing army was still fighting to the death, but the eyes of many Qing soldiers who were still alive were full of confusion, fear and despair.Huang Taiji was killed by a single artillery bombardment, and almost none of the generals who led them from victory to victory could be seen. Only the remnants of the Qing army that entered the Pass were left. What was the point of their resistance?
Ning Haijun would not miss such a good opportunity.Whether they were infantry or cavalry, even heavy troops or even medical soldiers, they all held swords and charged towards the remnants of the Qing army.

What is surprising is that the remnants of the Qing army actually hit the blade in Ning Haijun's hand as if they were tired of living. They completely lost the will to resist and just wanted to die. It was the end of the hero, that's all.

Although the Qing troops outside the city wanted to die, the Qing troops left behind in Beijing, including Fan Wencheng, did not want to die. He led the Qing troops left behind, opened the city gates of Beijing, and led all the people and civil and military officials in Beijing to They lined up to surrender to Jiang Wubing.

Among the ministers who surrendered, there was no big boss like Wen Tiren or Wang Yingxiong.

They all knew that even if they surrendered, Cheng Shijie would not forgive them. Instead of being tortured and humiliated by Cheng Shijie, they would rather die happily.

Wen Tiren poisoned the whole family with arsenic, and then hung himself with a belt. If nothing else, an accident happened. It is not known whether Wen Tiren's belt was of poor quality or because Wen Tiren was too heavy. Wen Tiren's hanging beam was only half a column. When he was enjoying the fragrance, he fell off.

In nearly half a stick of incense, Wen Tiren made a full circle from the gate of hell. After experiencing the baptism of fear of death, Wen Tiren lost the will to seek death.

The belt is broken.

Wang Yingxiong's choice was similar to Wen Tiren's, except that he did not hang himself, but planned to drink arsenic to commit suicide. However, he just took a sip and found that the arsenic was too bitter.

So, he chose to surrender to Cheng Shijie.

In this time and space, although the skin is not itchy and the water is too cold, there is still the pain of arsenic when the belt is broken.

When Cheng Shijie came outside the Yongding Gate, he saw only piles of corpses and groups of prisoners of war with dull expressions. There were not many slaves among these prisoners, and most of them were prisoners of the Guan Ning Army, including Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang. , Wu Sangui, many familiar faces...

Sure enough, Guan Ningjun is still the same Guan Ningjun.
