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

Chapter 91
Chapter 090

Just when Ning Haijun's artillery began to ignite the fuze, the slave cavalry, which was originally formed in a dense formation, suddenly dispersed, and the entire cavalry charge formation of more than [-] cavalry suddenly expanded by nearly ten times.

The distance between the Jiannu cavalry and the cavalry expanded to a distance of more than ten meters, and their bodies were almost attached to the horse's back, and their hands hugged the horse's neck tightly.

Seeing this scene, Cheng Shijie felt a little regretful. With such a loose formation, not to mention the Frang machine shells fired, even the howitzers of later generations, as long as they are not large-caliber, the damage to this cavalry is very limited.

as predicted.

A cannonball flew over, hit the ground and bounced again, smashing the head of a Jiannu cavalry into pieces, piercing the chest of a cavalry behind with blood and flesh, falling to the ground and bouncing again, hitting a horse The horse's neck, the horse's head came down immediately.

Although this shell caused three kills, some of the other shells failed, and some only killed one. The eight shells only caused casualties of a dozen cavalrymen in the Jiannu cavalry formation, and this was still the case without missing , These Jiannu cavalry watched the shells fly by, blowing up the robes around them to death, but they turned a blind eye and accelerated their charge instead.

Even though there were less than three hundred Jiannu cavalry, they still created the momentum of thousands of horses and horses. The speed was getting faster and faster, and the kinetic energy was getting stronger and stronger. In the end, it was like lightning, countless horseshoes were raised high and then fell heavily. The sound is like thunder, which makes people look pale!

It's just a pity that the Frang machine artillery equipped by the Ning Navy is not the kind of artillery that only has a range of three or four hundred steps, but has a range of more than 300 steps.

To put it bluntly, Sun Yuanhua’s contribution is still huge. He improved and invented the wedge-shaped structure of the Frang machine artillery, which almost allowed the Frang machine artillery to have the range of the medium-sized Hongyi cannon, but still maintained the firing speed of the Frang machine artillery. .

"Boom boom boom..."

When the Jiannu cavalry charged less than [-] steps in front of Ning Haijun's formation, the second round of shelling from the Franc machine artillery officially started. Since the distance this time was closer and the kinetic energy of the shells was stronger, the casualties of the Jiannu cavalry were also higher. is continuing to rise.

Although seeing another twenty or thirty slave cavalry fall off their horses, Azig was not troubled by the casualties of his own trilogy, but was even happier.

In his cognition, the firing speed of the Ming army's artillery was extremely slow. There were eight artillery pieces in the first round, and eight artillery pieces in the second round. , it is only possible that sixteen cannons were fired one after another.

"Get rich!"

Azig's eyes shone with green light, three or four thousand sets of iron armor, plus sixteen cannons, this is a lot of money.Although the Eight Banners of Jiannu, the standard full number is 500 people.This is actually a theoretical figure.

Before Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne, the strongest of the Eight Banners was actually the three Azig brothers, who held a total of 65 Niulu, followed by Daishan, who held 51 Niulu, and Amin, who held the There are 33 Niu Lu, Sanbeile Manggurtai holds 25 Niu Lu, and Huang Taiji holds [-] Niu Lu.

Before succeeding to the throne, Huang Taiji was actually only slightly better than Azige. Azige had fifteen Niulu at that time. The two mastered a total of 115 Niu Lu (117 when Huang Taiji died)
Huang Taiji is a political master. He first promoted Dorgon, the youngest of the three Azig brothers, the fourteenth, and let Dorgon be the owner of the Zhengbai Banner, and Azige as the owner of the Bordered White Banner, but the Bordered White Banner was only There are 25 Niulu, while Duduo and Dorgon hold 30 Niulu and 33 Niulu respectively.

Azig, who was the oldest and made the most contributions, became the last of the three brothers, which also planted the seeds for Azig and Dorgon to turn against each other.

Jiannu, who won the battle of Daling River, is not as weak as Ming imagined. In fact, the existing cattle records of the Eight Banners are 115 cattle records for the two yellow flags, 65 cattle records for the two red flags, and the two blue flags have been divided and suppressed. There are only 31 cattle records left, sixteen cattle records in Zhenglan Banner, and fifteen cattle records in Xianglan Banner.

The Eight Banners have a total of 9 Niulu, with a full staff of 700.

Azige is dissatisfied, but he is eager to expand his strength. He has slaves. He not only has prisoners of war who defeated the Yehe tribe, but also prisoners of war from Haixi Jurchen. These prisoners of war are his own people who can be trained to become slaves , but it lacks equipment, the equipment of artillery.In fact, Huang Taiji and Jiannu nobles, as early as in January of the third year of Chongzhen, Azig attacked Zhangjiawan, Tongzhou, which was the reloading place of the Ming army. More than [-] artillery pieces of various types were seized.

In fact, Huang Taiji didn't care about these cannons, but as Sun Chengzong took over the command of the Ming army, he divided the various Ming armies under the jurisdiction of the Sixth Army. At that time, Huang Taiji had already paid attention to artillery.

In the battle of Daling River, Huang Taiji even concentrated hundreds of cannons to attack Zhang Chun's chariot battalion. It was the cannon's meritorious service that caused Zhang Chun's subordinates to collapse...

For Azig, these artillery pieces came just in time. He had more than [-] Ming army prisoners in his hands, and among these prisoners must be Ming army artillerymen.Azig knew these Ming army prisoners very well, as long as they were given a bite to eat, they would be a loyal and good dog, even more loyal than Jiannu's own people.

However, what Azig did not expect was that the artillery of the Ning Navy was not so easy to capture.

When the Jiannu cavalry paid the price of 50 casualties and survived the bombardment of two rounds of artillery, they had already entered within [-] steps of the Ning Navy's formation.

Artillery Commander Yuan Shiliang immediately ordered: "Change to the red flowering ammunition, quickly!"

"Boom..."

Following the third round of Ning Haijun's Frang machine artillery, this time it used flowering ammunition. This flowering ammunition is actually different from the howitzers of later generations.The warhead part of this shell is made of tiny lead bullets, which are glued together so that when fired, the small lead bullets will disperse as the glue heats up.

It can be said that the working principle of this flowering bullet is exactly the same as that of later shotguns.

It is indeed very difficult for eight shells to hit the very scattered Jiannu cavalry, but the problem is that this kind of flowering shell is different, they will form a fan-shaped strike surface within a range of 15 meters to 50 meters.

The Jiannu cavalrymen who were charging began to suffer a large number of casualties. At least hundreds of Jiannu cavalrymen were hit by the shrapnel of the explosive shells. The Jiannu cavalrymen and horses in the front row were splashed with blood stars. They screamed and hissed He fell down with a bang...

Only then did Azig realize something was wrong: "What's going on?"

Now Borzi could clearly see through the thick gunpowder smoke that Ning Haijun's thunderbolts began to fire.

"Bang bang bang..."

Those Jiannu cavalrymen who were lucky enough not to die under the explosive shells of the artillery immediately welcomed the rain of steel from the Ninghai Navy. The 32mm caliber Thunderbolt hit the torso of the human body at a distance of 120 meters, which can directly kill people. Cut in half, and now these slave cavalry are all within their effective range.

The surviving more than a hundred Jiannu cavalry suddenly burst into a cloud of blood mist, which was bigger than that of the Franc machine artillery. These Jiannu cavalry faced the blow of the Thunderbolt for the first time, and they suffered a big loss immediately. Before they even had time to retreat, they fell to the ground in grief and indignation, becoming the spoils of Ning Haijun.

This battle is said to be very slow, but in fact it takes less than one stick of incense.

Victory in the first battle, Ning Haijun took advantage of the range and shot and killed a whole group of cattle and three hundred cavalry outside the range. It is simple to say, but it is not simple in fact.

After the first battle was won, the morale of the officers and men of Ning Haijun soared to the extreme. Countless Ning Haijun raised their arms and shouted: "The commander is mighty, Ning Haijun is victorious!"

The cavalry unit, which also belongs to the tactical sequence of the Ning Navy, has been acting as a spectator.

Qiao Siniang next to Zhao Wencai was dressed in men's armor, and in the Ming Dynasty, poor breasts were regarded as the beauty. Although Qiao Siniang's body was short, she was not the shortest, but she looked like a thin woman. Soldiers only.

Qiao Siniang said puzzledly: "Jianu is not as powerful as you say!!"

"Si Niang, you just don't know!"

Don't look at the time when Qiao Siniang was with Kong Youde, she fought several battles and had a dozen heads beheaded by her own hands, but she is really a fledgling on the battlefield.

Lu Xincheng, the chief executive next to Zhao Wencai, said: "This is also because we have met such an unreasonable general!"

"Unreasonable?"

Lu Siniang was even more puzzled.

Zhao Wencai explained: "Our artillery fired 24 shells in a short period of time, eight of which were explosive shells. The manufacturing cost of one special shell was as high as 15 taels of silver, and ordinary shells were also worth seven taels of silver. With 24 shells, more than 200 taels of silver were fired!"

"Is this a war? Isn't this throwing money at people?"

What Qiao Siniang said was right, more than 200 taels of silver could indeed smash several people to death.

Of course, Zhao Wencai's judgment was actually incorrect. The round of artillery shells just now plus 360 rounds of blunderbuss shells made the manufacturing cost as high as 350 taels of silver. Worth the price of more than 500 taels.

Cheng Shijie was willing, but other generals of the Ming army were not willing to use money to smash the enemy.

"All-army assault!"

Although Cheng Shijie has little experience in commanding the battlefield, the problem is that he knows some common sense things, such as cavalry. If cavalry want to increase their speed, they need at least [-] steps to buffer.The main formation of the Jiannu army is in a very unfavorable uphill stage, so the distance to charge and accelerate is longer.

Ning Haijun pressed Jiannu forward, making Jiannu lose the buffer distance to accelerate the charge, and at the same time, it was to anger Jiannu.Because people can act irrationally when they are angry.

Cheng Shijie also hopes that Jiannu can launch a charge in a group. Only in this way can the firepower advantage of the Ning Navy be fully utilized.

"go ahead!"

Following Cheng Shijie's order, the four generals and [-] divisions of the Ninghai Youdu Division began to move slowly in an orderly manner.

"How dare they launch a counter-charge!"

Azige was successfully irritated by Cheng Shijie, but soon, Azige realized that he was already 25 bulls, and now an entire army was wiped out. If he charged angrily, let this Ming army use firearms to kill They caused a great deal of damage. I'm afraid he won't be able to explain to Huang Taiji when he goes back. Don't look at the fat old man who laughs every day, but the problem is that he is a poisonous snake. Amin is already out of luck. He doesn't want to leave the fat old man to clean up. His rhetoric.

Although it is said that Jiannu relied on their superior force, the problem is that they also know the power of firearms. As early as in the Battle of Sarhu and the Battle of Hunhe, more than [-] Qi's troops used their superior firepower to attack Jiannu. caused great casualties.Later Jin founding generals Yabahai, Buha, Sun Zaqin, Bayan, Yamburi, Xiertai, Lange, Dunbudha, Mubu, Luwanger and other generals died in this battle.

It can be said that any general who built slaves would be very afraid of the firearms troops of the Ming army.

"If they want to come in, let them in!"

Azig gritted his teeth and said, "Let's take a thousand steps back!"

The Jiannu cavalry received the order and retreated slowly. Although it was only a thousand steps back, the Jiannu cavalry took advantage of the geographical advantage. There was a downhill slope five hundred steps away, and it happened to be [-] steps away. A hill that is not considered high.The slave cavalry can gain a geographical advantage, and quickly speed up the horses through the hillside. Not only will they not be passive, but they will have an advantage.

Zhang Yu was overjoyed: "Jianu has retired!"

"As soon as they retreat, we will be passive!"

Cheng Shijie saw that the forward of Ning Haijun had already received Jiannu's body on the battlefield. With a thought, an idea flashed into his mind: "Order Liu Qingsong's troops to clean up the battlefield immediately!"

Ning Haijun sweeps the battlefield and has always been known as an iron broom.They are really ruthless, not only will they take away weapons and blades, but they will also take away the clothes from the enemy's corpses. Back then, on the battlefield, they would not let go of the ragged clothes of the bandits.

As Liu Qingsong's Ning Navy soldiers came to the corpses of the Jiannu cavalrymen, they swung their knives and chopped off the leader of the Jiannu cavalry, then stripped off the clothes on the body, and then took Jiannu's bows, arrows, knives, guns, The iron armor, leather armor, and even the dried meat and milk bumps that were carried on the body were all sorted, and the soldiers behind them sorted these things and loaded them into the car.

Ning Haijun not only noticed bursts of cheers, but also provoked Jiannu's head with a spear, mocking unscrupulously.

"Dad, Borzi, put them all on top, Benbele will tear them apart!"

Azig has been going smoothly, fighting Mongolia, North Korea, and Ming Dynasty. He has never suffered a disadvantage.The death of more than 300 people is nothing to Azig, he can rebuild the record of slaves at any time.

Jiannu means that all the people are soldiers. Although a Niulu has an establishment of 300 people, in fact, it is the same as the guards of the Ming Dynasty. A guard has a full staff of 600 people, but in fact, any guard has tens of thousands of troops. Even if thousands of people die, as long as they have money and equipment, they will immediately replenish the lost troops.

But the problem is that these soldiers of the Ming army were really insulting people. They stripped the corpses naked in front of the Jiannu soldiers, and exposed these corpses naked in the ice and snow.

My uncle can bear it, but my aunt can't bear it either.

"Master, calm down!"

Borzi said nervously: "This group of Minggou has cannons, and there are so many firecrackers, it must be difficult to deal with. Our whole army can crush the Minggou, but there is no such way of fighting... Didn't the master always like to fight with his brain?"

As Azig's confidant, Borzi knew his temper very well. This Azig also has a donkey temper, and ordinary people really can't persuade him. When his temper comes up, he can't pull back a few cows.Of course, Borzi can, because Borzi is not only his subordinate, but also his uncle.

"You said, that's all?"

"No, absolutely not!"

Borzi smiled and said: "Master, have you forgotten? There is another Ming army more than 20 miles to the south of us. These two Ming armies are one group. The most capable part is at the front." , Those who can’t fight will definitely be left behind, why don’t we bypass this group of Ming troops, let’s fight their supply troops, once the supply troops are finished, how many days can they last without supplies?”

Azig nodded and said, "That's right, this is exactly the tactic Ben Bayle thought of!"

"Master is wise, then you see..."

"Go, vent your anger on Ben Belle, and chop off a few more Minggou's heads!"

As Jiannu dispatched more than [-] riders and bypassed Ning Haijun's defense line, Zhang Yu's face changed greatly: "No, they went to Shen Mingyu's place!"

Although it is said that Jiannu took advantage of his riding skills to cut off the connection between Shen Mingyu and Cheng Shijie, the problem is that Jiannu didn't know that Shen Mingyu and Cheng Shijie could use the radio to communicate, as long as they were not far away from the mountains. More than [-] kilometers, no more than [-] kilometers on flat ground, they can contact directly.

Cheng Shijie picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Zhao Wencai!"

"I am humble!"

"Take the cavalry and follow up!"

"Master..."

There was bitterness in Zhao Wencai's voice: "There are more than [-] Jian slaves, even if the lowly ranks use up all the troops, they will not be able to deal with them!"

"I don't need you to deal with them, you just need to lead the cavalry to kill them. If they attack Shen Mingyu's troops, you rush up and interfere with their attack. If they turn their heads to deal with you, you turn around and run away, my commander." Knowing that you can't beat Jiannu, you can always outrun them!"

"Yes, I will do my best!"

"Finally, I will tell you that when the enemy advances, we retreat, when the enemy is stationed, we harass, when the enemy is tired, we attack, when the enemy retreats, we pursue, stride forward and retreat, lure the enemy deep, concentrate our forces, and defeat each one, understand?"

"Understandable!"

Listening to Cheng Shijie's order, Ma Shilin secretly admired Cheng Shijie.Cheng Shijie always said in meetings with generals: "This commander knows a little bit about military affairs!"

Cheng Shijie didn't know a little, he was proficient.

However, Cheng Shijie was too low-key.

Ma Shilin immediately thought that Da Ming's political correctness is to use literature to defend military affairs, and the more eye-catching Cheng Shijie behaves, the more severely he will be suppressed.

As soon as Borzi left with more than [-] cavalry under his command, Zhao Wencai chased after him with [-] cavalry from Ning Haijun.

Borzi also knew that if there was a tail behind him, he would not be able to attack the Ming army's supply unit in the south, so Borzi ordered: "Stop advancing, turn around..."

When Borzi's subordinates turned their horses around, the Ning Navy cavalry also turned around. Borzi led them to chase for three or four miles, but saw that the Ming army cavalry ran faster and faster, and the distance was getting farther and farther.

This is the bitterest advantage of the Ning Navy cavalry. As a cavalry, if you want to run fast and far, the cavalry should not be too heavy, otherwise the horse will be too heavy to attack long distances.

The cavalry of the Ning Navy are all from the old department of Kong Youde of the Dongjiang Army or the local horsemen who are good at riding horses in Shandong. Almost all of them are skinny, but they have an advantage in weight.The cavalrymen of the Ning Navy are not as strong as Jiannu.

Seeing that he could not catch up with the opponent, Borzi could only order with hatred: "Stop chasing!"

But just when Borzi ordered to stop the pursuit, the Ning Navy cavalry who had disappeared appeared in their sight again, so the two sides played a cavalry chase.

The two sides came and went, and after half an hour, Borji not only failed to attack Shen Mingyu's troops, but made Shen Mingyu and Cheng Shijie's troops meet.

When Shen Mingyu learned that the cavalry scouts found that Jiannu had appeared in southern Liaoning, he ordered craftsmen and military households to attack Jinzhou Weicheng, and mobilized the military households of the Ning Army and Navy to garrison the fields. After half a day, Shen Mingyu called the [-] mobilized [-] households to farm in Jinzhou Acropolis, and told them directly: "Do you want land?"

"miss you!"

"Chop off the head of a Jiannu, 50 taels of silver, or fifty acres of land, two can get a hundred acres of land!"

The eyes of these hundreds of households in the field suddenly turned red, and they handed over the job of guarding the Jinzhou Acropolis to Zhou Yandong.

Song Xiance didn't care about whether the Golden State Acropolis would be lost, nor did Shen Mingyu. An Ning, Yang Yuniang and others.

These families were all managed in just over four months. As long as Cheng Shijie is around, they don't worry about the future.

Song Xiance and Shen Mingyu took all the soldiers of the Zuodu Division of the Ninghai Navy, boarded the warship again, went all the way north from Bohai Bay, and arrived at Gaizhou Port to disembark.

They came here non-stop, and they were so tired that they stuck out their tongues. Unexpectedly, in Cheng Shijie's army formation, dozens of marching cauldrons were raised, and horse meat was being stewed in the cauldrons.

Ning Haijun's chefs are really good at cooking. They use a small amount of seasoning, but they stew the horse meat to a fragrant aroma. Large pieces of horse meat are rolled in the broth.

Cheng Shijie looked at Shen Mingyu, Song Xiance and the others and said, "It's better to come early than coincidental. Now the horse meat is just cooked, come and eat together!"

Ning Haijun had dinner, and Cheng Shijie arranged for Ning Haijun soldiers to eat in batches. Each Ning Haijun soldier who received the meal received at least half a catty of horse meat. Ning Navy soldiers are never picky eaters.

These days, food is more expensive than human life, so it is good to eat some, not to mention meat?
PS: Lao Cheng went to dinner today, I wish you all eat meat every day, Chapter 2, it may be very late, or it may be early tomorrow, I suggest that you don’t have to wait.Friends who have Koukou group or WeChat group, please help to promote this book.At present, the high order of this book is 653, and the average order is 457. There is still a difference of 43, which is enough for five hundred.
