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

Chapter 93
Chapter 092

When infantry faces cavalry, they are always in a very disadvantageous situation.

If you win, you can't pursue.You can only win a small victory, but if you fail, you will face a catastrophe.

Cheng Shijie has never dared to let go of all-round firepower. He is afraid of scaring these Jiannu. After all, he has 140 Thunderbolts in his hand, and a salvo is 4000 bullets.It is equivalent to [-] firecrackers, and Shen Mingyu's Zuo Dusi also has more than [-] single-shot firecrackers.

It also means that Cheng Shijie's Ning Haijun now has the firepower to fire more than 400 bullets at a time. With the return of the Zuodu Division under Shen Mingyu's department, Ning Haijun's artillery has been greatly strengthened. , a total of 86 Flang machine guns, even if Azig pressed them all up, Cheng Shijie could shoot down the less than 500 Jiannu and more than [-] Mongolian cavalry.

It's just a pity that Ning Haijun's cavalry can't be regarded as real cavalry. At least when facing Jiannu, the gap is hopeless. Even in a three-on-one situation, there is no guarantee that there is an absolute chance of winning.

If Cheng Shijie had used all his firepower before, he would definitely have caused heavy casualties to Azig, but the problem is that even if Azig's head was flooded, he would not be able to order his cavalry to charge against the hail of bullets from Ning Haijun. That would not be an attack. , but in death.

After Cheng Shijie gave the order to fully fire, Song Xiance opened his mouth.

However, he did not make a sound.

Because he knew that Cheng Shijie's order had been issued, and it would definitely be carried out. If it was not carried out, and the order was changed day and night, it would be a huge blow to Cheng Shijie's prestige as the coach.

Song Xiance lowered his voice and said, "My lord, I'm afraid Jiannu will be scared away, now it's best to give Jiannu a hope..."

"Need not!"

Cheng Shijie categorically rejected Song Xiance's suggestion.

As the saying goes, the ass determines the head, and the head determines thinking.

Facing the two devils in front of him, Cheng Shijie was going to destroy them and settle the battle at once. Even if some of them escaped, he could still promote the firepower superiority of Ning Haijun and the combat effectiveness of Ning Haijun.

"I want these Ming soldiers to know that they need to pay a price if they want to help the evil. I want to let Jiannu know that not all Ming soldiers are cowards. We, Ning Haijun, will let Jiannu If you see our banner, stay away!"

At such a moment, Cheng Shijie discovered a problem.If he takes advantage of Jiannu's ignorance of the Ning Navy to give Jiannu hope of victory, it will certainly cause huge casualties to Jiannu.Tactically, Cheng Shijie won, but strategically, Cheng Shijie failed.

Is Jianu really strong?
Strong is definitely strong, but the problem is that they are definitely not as powerful as they boasted. As early as the Nurhachi era, Nurhachi personally led 45 cattle records in the Zhenghuang Banner and 20 cattle records in the Xianghuang Banner. Daishan and his eldest son Yuetuo led There are 25 Niulu and 26 Niulu in the Zhenghong Banner and 21 Niulu respectively. Mang Gurtai leads the Zhenglan Banner with 33 Niulu, Amin leads the Xianglan Banner with 25 Niulu, and Huang Taiji and Du Du, the eldest grandson of Nurhachi, respectively commanded 15 Niulu Zhengbai Banners and 210 Niulu Xiangbai Banners, bringing the total number of Niulu to [-] Niulu.

But in the period of Huang Taiji, only the Zhenghuang, Xianghuang, and Zhenglan banners led by Huang Taiji and his eldest son Hauge reached 117 Niulu, and the Zhengbai Banner commanded by the three brothers Azige, Dorgon, and Duoduo , Xiangbai Banner also has 98 Niulu, and the Zhenghong Banner and Xianghong Banner led by Daishan, together with the Xianglan Banner led by Jierhalang, also has 96 Niulu, the number reached 311 Niulu, the total force It also reached nearly 10 people.

But on the surface, the number of cattle increased by Jiannu is only one hundred and one, that is, 3 horses, which is not too much, but the problem is that Jiannu's arms and strength are not instant arms.

In the Battle of Ningyuan alone, the Ming Dynasty officially recorded that Jiannu lost 4000 people, while the Manchu Qing records only admitted that two guerrillas and 3000 soldiers died. , Zhao led the teaching report, and there were no less than two or three thousand thieves and slaves. "Three Dynasties Liao Facts Record": The Ming army was besieged in Yanli Mountain, "fighting bravely, many people were captured and killed."

In any case, although Huang Taiji took the initiative to retreat in this battle, it would be unreasonable to say that none of the soldiers died. After all, he used 7 or 24 people and took [-] days for a spring outing?Only they know how many soldiers are killed or injured. In short, more than one-third of Jiannu's military strength at this time must be recruits.

Cheng Shijie hoped to use this battle to build Ning Haijun's reputation. If Jiannu refused to accept it, he would come to fight.

"fire!"

As these more than [-] prisoners of war of the Ming Army rushed into the range of [-] steps of the Ning Navy with howls, the artillery of the Ning Navy began to fire.

Eighty-six Frang machine guns fired 86 hot shot balls, which fell into the Ming army's phalanx, smashing bloody alleys, and one of the shells hit Zu Zehong less than ten meters away.

Zu Zezu was the son of Zu Dashou. Dalinghe City surrendered with Zu Dashou. Later, Zu Dashou fled back to Jinzhou alone. The captured Ming army was reorganized into the Han army, led by Zu Zehong.

The shells splashed the soil and landed on Zu Zehong's body. At this moment, he was unmoved, but said loudly: "The artillery is not reloading fast. If you don't want to die, run faster!"

In all fairness, those who survived to the end in Dalinghe City were all veterans of the army. They still had the ability to save their lives on the battlefield. Facing the bombardment of artillery fire, many soldiers of the ancestral family took a curve.

"Boom..."

However, before these ancestral soldiers ran a hundred steps, Ning Haijun's second round of shelling began again.

At this time, Azig's expression changed drastically: "Why are there so many cannons in Minggou?"

Nearly a hundred cannons fired in the first round, which was already the normal artillery configuration of an elite Ming army with a size of 200 people. However, the Ning Navy also has tens of thousands of horses, but it actually has more than [-] artillery pieces.

No one answered Azig's question, and at this moment, the third round of shelling rang out.

Zu Zerun, who was standing in the Han army, said: "I tell my master, this is a Flang cannon, but it fires fast and has little power!"

However, reality came too soon.

In just six rounds of bombardment, the [-] ancestral army fell to over a thousand people.

Azige stared at Zu Zerun: "You motherfucker still call it not powerful? What is powerful?"

If it weren't for the tenacity of these ancestral army, which fell by one-third and still hadn't collapsed, even Cheng Shijie would have admired these two devils.

In later generations, they are also second devils, who are more ruthless than real devils.

Cheng Shijie secretly calculated the distance, and wanted to add some hard food to them.

Following the seventh round of shelling, which lasted longer than the first six rounds, Zu Zehong, the third son of Zu who was leading the charge, shouted: "Minggou's artillery is red, brothers, charge!"

These ancestral soldiers showed ferocious expressions, and their footsteps were fast, rushing harder and more urgently.

Just when they rushed into the range of [-] steps, Cheng Shijie waved his hand fiercely.

"Detonation!"

Following Cheng Shijie's order, the ancestral soldiers who rushed into the minefield did not notice that white smoke suddenly rose from the ground under their feet, and the explosives were detonated with the fuze.

Groups of orange-red fireballs came out from under their feet, and the soldiers of the ancestral family were thrown high up like leaves, and their limbs and arms fell like raindrops, hitting the living people with puffing sounds.

The hot, sharp shrapnel radiated to the surrounding layers layer by layer, easily shooting through the armor of the ancestral soldiers, tearing their bodies, and letting internal organs and dirty blood pour out from the horrible wounds like mudslides out!

The Jiannu cavalrymen, Azig, Borzi and other generals standing behind watching the formation turned pale in fright: "What kind of ghost cannon is this!"

Zu Zerun was also so frightened that he almost fell to the ground. He pressed his waist knife against the ground, trying to keep himself from falling. He muttered to himself, "This is not a cannon, this is..."

"what is this?"

"This is a thunderbolt!"

At this moment, the sound of thunderbolts sounded one after another.

"Bang bang bang bang..."

The dense rain of bullets was shot at the ancestral soldiers who were still standing on the ground and were frightened.If it is the army of later generations, facing this situation, they will definitely lie down on the spot to reduce the danger brought to them by bullets.

However, the problem is that the brains of the soldiers of the ancestral family who were knocked out of their wits by the landmines have already lost their response.

Suddenly, a cloud of fire rose into the sky. This was the third big gift Cheng Shijie had prepared for these ancestral soldiers. This was Cheng Shijie's homemade petrol bomb.

This is the most powerful weapon Cheng Shijie can get, and even the scrap collection station can receive most of the raw materials, sixty liters of gasoline, plus sugar, flour, discarded plastics, and another eighty catties of black powder to detonate , forming a sea of ​​fire with a radius of about 150 meters.

The key is that this kind of earth-made gasoline solidified bomb, although the raw material is soil, but its power is not small at all. If you boil syrup in your life and accidentally get scalded, you will find that this viscous substance is basically Can't shake it off, and watering doesn't help.

These ancestral soldiers will not die immediately. After they were burned by the napalm bomb, the pain went deep into the bone marrow. Ignite the comrades around me...

Finally, the sound of the cannons stopped, and the Xunlei blunderbuss also stopped firing. Whether it was Jiannu, Ning Haijun soldiers, or ancestor soldiers, everyone froze in fright.

"This is too..."

Shen Mingyu could no longer describe his shock in words. He thought that the cannon was already the most powerful weapon, but Cheng Shijie and his craftsmen produced the Thunderbolt again. Isn't the Thunderbolt powerful enough?Cheng Shijie made a napalm bomb again, and Cheng Shijie gave them a foreign name: "Molotov Cocktails".

He is very puzzled, why is it called this strange name, what kind of cocktail, it obviously doesn't taste like alcohol at all, okay?

"How to do?"

Azig is now riding a tiger. If he retreats in such a disheveled manner, not to mention the fat old man will punish him, even their other generals with white flags will look down on him.But if he regrouped and launched an attack, after seeing Ning Haijun's sharp artillery, he didn't think Jiannu's cavalry could charge up.

You know, even now, Ning Haijun still doesn't have full firepower. That's right, these ancestral soldiers didn't rush into the range of Ning Haijun's crossbow at all, so more than 4000 crossbowmen haven't opened yet.

"Master, what should I do now?"

Now Borzi has forced Azig to the corner. He originally wanted Azige to pick up the soft persimmons, and take advantage of the internal chaos of the Dongjiang Army to take advantage of it and leave, but the problem is, is there any advantage now? Accounted for, I didn't expect to bite into an iron walnut in one bite. I didn't eat the fat, but I lost a few big teeth!

"Dog slave, it's all you..."

Although Azig made his own claim and came to fight in the jungle without reporting to Fat Lao Ba, the plot was not serious, and so many Manchurian warriors were killed and injured at once, Fat Lao Ba must be furious. If there is not enough spoils, he I don't know what to use to deal with the fat old eight's monstrous anger.

But the problem is that although Ning Haijun has a lot of equipment, although it is good, it is not so easy to get.

"Clap clap clap..."

Azig whipped more than a dozen whips at Borzi in one breath, directly slashing Borzi until his skin was ripped apart, dripping with blood, but Borzi himself couldn't tell.

Azig was about to go mad with anger, but Cheng Shijie was extremely excited by the success of his firepower-first tactic.

"Master, why don't you send those Ming dogs up!"

Azig also knows that he needs to accept it as soon as he is good. After all, his stepwife is Borzi's younger sister, and it is difficult to explain why he broke his uncle.

After all, Jiannu likes marriage. The relationship between husband and wife is nothing. As Baylor of the Aixinjueluo family, he needs to take care of the nobles of Jiannu. , unsightly, but the Borzigit family, the wife of the Mongolian nationality, looks like that.

"Master, Minggou's artillery fired the first six shots, and the seventh shot was fired later. Obviously, their artillery needs to wait before they can fire, how about..."

Borji didn't want his tribe and clansmen to die, so he could only let Zu Zerun go, and Zu Zehong had already died in front of the battle.

Azige pointed to the large formation of the Ming army and said: "Zu Zerun, you bring your men up!"

"master……"

"roll!"

Azige held a waist knife, pointed at Zu Zerun and said, "If you dare to disobey, Benbaile will hack you to death!"

Zu Zerun was also forced to the corner, he sighed helplessly, and walked towards the main formation of tens of thousands of horses.

Witnessing with their own eyes that more than [-] masters died without even seeing Ning Haijun, these ancestral soldiers looked desperate.

"Young General Zu, please do me a favor, please spare me!"

"We don't want to die..."

"Young General Zu, go and beg your nobleman for mercy!"

"Young General Zu..."

Listening to the begging for mercy in these parts, Zu Zerun would be lying if he said that he was not uncomfortable, but the problem is that there is nothing he can do.As a general, he thought he had done his part.When Jiannu surrounded Dalinghe City, the food in Dalinghe City was only enough for one month, but they persisted for more than 100 days.

It was alright at the beginning, but they just ate a little less food. Later, when the food ran out, they ate rats. When the rats were gone, they could only eat human flesh. At first they ate dead people, and later they drew lots to eat whoever was drawn.

It was only in desperation that they surrendered to Jianu.

"Brothers, live ahead!"

Zu Zerun pointed to behind him. The Jiannu cavalry and Mongolian cavalry behind him had already drawn up their bows and arrows. As long as they didn't move forward, they would die.

"Brothers, go!!"

Zu Zerun saw clearly that Jiannu didn't treat them as human beings at all.

At this time, the soldiers of the ancestral army charged, which was completely different from the previous ones. Under the leadership of Zu Zehong, those soldiers of the ancestral family thought that Ning Haijun, like other Ming troops, was a coward who would fall at the touch of a touch. Witnessing the fierceness of Ning Haijun's artillery and the power of firecrackers, they no longer have any hope of defeating Ning Haijun.

"Brother on the opposite side, stay alive!"

"Brothers on the opposite side, we are all Daming people, don't shoot..."

"I don't want to die yet..."

"I don't want to die either..."

These Ancestral Army soldiers moved forward crying all the way.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

At this time, the Jiannu cavalry and the Mongolian cavalry began to shoot arrows. At this time, the cavalry horn bows equipped by the Mongolian cavalry and the Jiannu cavalry were all soft bows.This kind of soft bow has an extremely fast rate of fire. When the bowstrings trembled in the hands of these well-trained Mongolian cavalrymen and Jiannu, several arrows flew out in a line.

It is commonly known as Lianzhu Arrow, of course, but this kind of bow can only bully the Ming army, which has a terrible armor rate. It will not work when it meets Ning Haijun.

But the problem is that the ancestral army was originally equipped with a lot of armor. When they surrendered, they were taken away by Jiannu. Now they are just worn-out mandarin duck battle jackets, which can be regarded as cotton armor. They have a certain defense ability against bows and arrows. But the problem is that the elite troops of the Ancestral Family Army were killed and wounded in the first round of attack, and those behind them were old, weak, sick and disabled, and their armor rate was almost nonexistent.

Under the continuous arrows of Jiannu and Mongolian cavalry, they suffered heavy casualties.

With the driving of the slave cavalry and the Mongolian cavalry, these ancestral soldiers can only speed up their progress.

On Ning Haijun's front, Cheng Shijie also saw the difference between the two groups of second devils. The first group of second devils was like the early stage, fiercer than devils, while the latter was like the second devils of four or five years. While shouting: "Grandpa Balu, don't shoot!"

Seeing these Ancestral Army soldiers getting closer, Ning Haijun's soldiers also looked at Cheng Shijie in unison.

"Enter the best range of the artillery!"

Cheng Shijie sighed and said, "Abandon the first parapet, give up the first line of defense, strictly guard the second line of defense, let them throw away their weapons and jump into the trench, if they don't follow our requirements, they will be killed!"

Following Cheng Shijie's order, Ning's navy soldiers led the retreat, and their retreat was also silent. After all, the fortifications composed of the three parapets and trenches were arranged in a circle.

Ning Haijun soldiers are not afraid of these ancestral soldiers playing tricks. They are blocked at both ends of the traffic trench, and the Thunderbolt can shoot them intensively. Moreover, they do not have grenades and submachine guns. It is actually very difficult to snatch the fortifications.

The clever Ning Navy soldiers also planted landmines when they retreated. If these Ancestral Army soldiers dared to play tricks, they would die even worse.

These ancestral soldiers who moved forward timidly finally arrived in front of the first parapet of Ning Haijun, and behind the second parapet of the opposite side, the heads of Ning Haijun soldiers were exposed: "Brothers in Liaoxi on the opposite side, throw away your weapons. Come slowly, I will guarantee that you will not die... If you dare to play tricks, don't blame the brothers for being cruel!"

These ancestral soldiers were overjoyed, they had already turned around before the gate of hell, and knew that Jiannu didn't treat them as human beings, those Jiannu were really not human, not to mention women, they even didn't let go of men.

"Brother, don't shoot!"

A soldier from the ancestral family threw away the spear in his hand, climbed over the parapet, and jumped into the trench according to the command of the Ning Navy soldiers, followed by No.2, No.3...

As more and more soldiers jumped into the trench, Azig, who was watching from behind, finally reacted.

But the problem is that Zu Zerun is leading the army, and now he doesn't even have a single hostage.

"These smart dogs are really unreliable!"

Azig ordered to Borzi beside him: "Slaughter them!"

Borji received the order and led more than [-] slave cavalry and more than [-] Mongolian cavalry under his command, followed the rear of the ancestral soldiers, and charged away.

Cheng Shijie watched this scene, and directly ordered: "The artillery raises a field of fire, and bombards the Jiannu behind!"

"Boom boom boom..."

Fireballs were ejected from the cannons, and the artillery shells plowed flesh and blood alleys in the cavalry formation of Jiannu, blowing up the cavalry of Jiannu, and they were in a state of embarrassment.

Borzi's luck was really bad. In the first round of shelling, a shell directly hit his horse's head. With huge kinetic energy, the shell directly shot into the horse's belly and passed through the dung gate. fly out.

The horse that fell to the ground in an instant crushed Borzi to the ground. Before he could get up, a horse behind stepped on Borzi's lower abdomen.

In desperation, Borzi only moved his body, and the bowl-sized horseshoe stepped on his lifeblood directly.

"what……"

Borzi enjoyed a physical castration, and he passed out from the pain.

With Borzi's lower body in a mess and blood flowing, a Mongolian cavalryman looked up to the sky and cried out, "God of longevity, what's wrong with you!"

As Borzi fell, the Mongolian tribe beside him lifted him up and turned around and ran away. Seeing this, the other Jian slaves also turned back. They really couldn't summon up the courage to face Ning Haijun.

Just a few rounds of shelling had already made Jiannu lose the courage to fight again.

Facing more than 300 cavalry returning in embarrassment, their round of attack failed. They didn't even see Ning Haijun's face, and only [-] people were killed or injured, and a Niulu disappeared from the battle sequence bordered by the white flag.

Azige could not give up the rice without stealing chickens, and sent more than [-] free laborers to Cheng Shijie.

PS: I finally wrote it out, everyone forgive me, I can only update it today.
