Paper Maker: This is the end of the Ming Dynasty in Liaozhai

Chapter 223 Huang Taiji, is Shenyang City for sale?
Shenyang City.

"Su Hao, you are courting death!"

A roar shook the entire Dazheng Hall faintly, and an invisible wave of energy surged around Huang Taiji's body, and the murderous aura almost turned into substance.

Not only Huang Taiji, but even Jierhalang and Dorgon below were full of murderous looks. They didn't expect that Daqi would stab them in the vitals at this time.

Fengji Fort is lost!
Daqi's soldiers and horses are less than fifty miles away from Shenyang City!

One must know that the Ming army has been pressing each other hard and is still in Liaoyang City a hundred miles away, but now Su Hao's troops have already approached Shenyang City.

Before Daqi seized Phoenix City, captured Zhenjiang Fort, or even captured Weining Camp, they chose to ignore it, because these places are located in the mountains, they are not of much value, and they don't have the spare energy to do it again. To open up a battlefield, unexpectedly, Da Qi actually hit Shenyang City.

More importantly, now that the Ming army has arrived at Liaoyang City, most of their soldiers and horses have gathered there. Daishan guards Liaoyang City with the three banners of Zhenghong, Xianghong, and Xiangbai. Azige and Duoduo wandered around Liaoyang City with the Zhenglan, Zhenghuang, and Xianghuang banners, waiting for the opportunity to move.

Now in Shenyang City, there are only the Zhengbai Banner led by Huang Taiji and the semi-disabled Xianglan Banner, and the fifteen Zhengyellow Banner Niulu led by Dorgon, with a total number of more than 3 people.

Now that Daqi's [-] troops are approaching the city, it can be said that they have stabbed their hearts with a knife.

"I'll lead my troops to destroy Daqi and those bastards!"

Jierharang got up and said, although his elder brother Amin was framed to death by Huang Taiji, Su Hao was also an accomplice, he couldn't touch Huang Taiji, but now Su Hao's soldiers and horses appeared outside Shenyang city, no revenge If so, he couldn't agree with the tone in his heart.

"Bullshit!"

Hearing Jierhalang's words, Huang Taiji couldn't help shouting: "Don't you know the strength of Xianglan Banner now? Could it be that you want to take your clansmen to die?"

The reason why Jierhalang's Xianglan Banner was not sent to Liaoyang City this time was mainly because the strength of the Xianglan Banner was too great. On the one hand, it also made up for the previous loss, but the loss of the middle-level elite could not be made up.

In the first battle in the pass, Amin was buried in the pass along with 1000 soldiers. Jierhalang worked hard to reselect more than [-] elite soldiers from the Xianglan Banner, but in the previous battle of Dongchangbao, more than [-] Only more than [-] elite soldiers escaped.

It can be said that today's Bordered Blue Banner is already the bottom of the Eight Banners, and its combat power is not as good as that of the Bordered Red Flag and Bordered White Flag. 8 people.

The more than 1 people in the Xianglan Banner alone were tantamount to death. After all, they were opponents several times. The Eight Banners soldiers are strong, but they are not invincible.

Besides, Daqi's soldiers and horses are now in the southeast of Shenyang City, which is a mountainous area. Although there are only some low mountains, it is enough to stop the cavalry from moving.

"Naughty?"

Hearing Huang Taiji's words, Ji Erhalang was also angry, and said coldly: "How did my inlaid blue flag fall to this field? You Huang Taiji has made great contributions, and today you still call me nonsense? Tai Chi, let me tell you, you are a sinner of my Jurchen clan!"

If Huang Taiji didn't mention this matter, he wouldn't be so angry. Obviously, Huang Taiji used his status in the pass to deceive his brother A Min and the elite of the two thousand Xianglan Banners. The personal soldiers will suffer heavy losses, and now Huang Taiji reprimands him for this matter, does he really think he is easy to bully?
"Brothers, now that the enemy is at hand, let's think about how to deal with Da Qi's [-] troops."

At this time, Dorgon on the side spoke to persuade, although he also wanted to see Jierharang and Huang Taiji turn their faces, but the current situation is really not suitable for another internal strife, if one is not careful, the Jurchen clan will be finished.

"Fourteenth brother, you and Jierhalang sit in Shenyang City, and I will take people to meet Daqi."

After thinking for a while, Huang Taiji said in a deep voice, Xianglanqi is too weak to fight at all, and the fifteen Niulu under Dorgon's command are too few, even if they go out, they are going to die, and now only his Zhengbaiqi can go out to fight.

...

On the other side, at the foot of a mountain fifty miles away, a huge temporary camp was built along the mountain, stretching for several miles.

In the big tent of the head coach, Tang Xiangjin, Luo Yi, and many governors gathered around the sand table map. On the map, there were eight different flags: white, red, yellow, blue, white, red, yellow, and blue. Insert in various positions on the sand table.

"Jin Qianhu, how many soldiers and horses are there on the grassland?"

Looking at the sand table, Tang Xiangjin looked dignified. Although he had fought some battles before, they were basically battles with an absolute advantage. This time it can be said that this is the only battle that Da Qi has fought since the founding of the country.

"Back to the governor, according to the reports from our spies from the Black Ice Terrace, only a few thousand people came from the major tribes on the grassland, and basically only three to four hundred people from one tribe, and some tribes on the grassland have already escaped from the control of the Jurchens. sign."

Hearing Tang Xiangjin's question, Jin Haowen, who was on the side of the black ice platform, cupped his hands and said.

"Is that so?"

It was said that Tang Xiangjin was not too surprised. No one wanted to stay low and be a minor for the rest of his life. In the past, the Jurchens were powerful, and with Lin Danhan fighting hard, the tribes on the grassland had no choice but to rely on the Jurchens.

But the situation is different now, Lin Danhan was beaten up once, and he has no strength to return to Monan, and now the Jurchens are too busy to take care of themselves, it is impossible to continue to suppress them, so it is naturally impossible for those grassland tribes to continue to lie down and be small .

"Keep staring at Liaoyang City."

After thinking for a while, Tang Xiangjin continued: "Especially the movement of the Zhenglan, Zhenghuang, and Xianghuang three flags outside Liaoyang City."

The Zhenghong, Bordered Red, and Bordered White Banners in Liaoyang City were no threat, and the opponent could not easily leave Liaoyang City. The real threats to them were the Zhenglan, Zhenghuang, and Bordered Yellow Three Banners.

Jin Haowen nodded his head and said, "The lower officials will be watched by others."

...

As time passed, Da Qi's soldiers and horses approached Shenyang City little by little, and Huang Taiji also led the soldiers and horses of the Zhengbai Banner to patrol outside the city, trying to find an opportunity to attack.

On the city wall of Shenyang, Huang Taiji and Zhengbai Banner Gushan Ezhenka Keduli were looking at the sky, and a huge camp was very conspicuous, it was Daqi's camp.

"Khan, these Qi troops are like turtles, they hardly leave the camp, what should we do?"

Kak Duli frowned, these Qi troops were too cautious, they didn't leave the camp at all, they even marched together with the camp, it took five days to advance twenty miles, faster than a tortoise All slow.

However, the opponent was huddled in the camp, and it was difficult for their cavalry to give full play to their advantages. If they attacked by force, they would inevitably suffer heavy losses.

Hearing Kak Duli's words, Huang Taiji said indifferently: "The Qi army is going to attack the city, so they will come out naturally, and then we will see the difference."

.........

In the camp of the Qi army more than twenty miles away, Tang Xiangjin looked at Shenyang City in the distance. The construction of the camp here is the limit. If it goes further, once the Jurchen chooses to attack with fire, it will be troublesome. Even if there is a camp Asylum, you also have to have time to react, otherwise the opponent will take the opportunity to rush into the camp, and the defeat will be in sight.

"The whole army! Prepare for battle!"

After thinking for a moment, Tang Xiangjin ordered.

Soon, a series of siege equipment was pushed out of the camp, including battering hammers, rushing vehicles, flying bridges, wooden mantle chariots, building vehicles, siege vehicles, shield vehicles, ballista vehicles, heavy crossbows, ladder vehicles, and red barbarian cannons. , almost all conceivable siege equipment is available.

It took a full hour for the army to organize their formation and slowly approach Shenyang City. On the other side, Huang Taiji also arranged the formation of the cavalry, ready to fight!
The distance between the two armies is getting closer and closer, fifteen miles, ten miles, eight miles, five miles...

"Get on the horse! Diffraction!"

Looking at Qi Jun who could almost see his face clearly three miles away, Huang Taiji gave an order.

Soon, more than ten thousand Eight Banners soldiers got on their horses and began to ride forward. As the speed of the horses became faster and faster, a large cloud of smoke and dust circled towards the left side of the Qi army's formation like a huge earth dragon.

"Stop!"

On the upstairs car, Tang Xiangjin immediately gave the order when he saw the Jurchens getting on their horses.

Soon, the wooden veiled chariot, the chariot, and the shield chariot stood in front. The pikemen's spears cooperated with the chariot to form a huge gun wall. Two "swarm rockets", and behind them is a phalanx of archers. In the center, hundreds of sacks on carts were unloaded to form a huge temporary fort. bit.

Although it said it took a long time, it didn't take long in fact. At this time, the Jurchens had just circled to the left.

The billowing dust was like an earth dragon passing in front of the Qi army's formation, accompanied by a rain of arrows as dense as raindrops.

"fire!"

On the upstairs car, Tang Xiangjin said firmly.

boom!boom!boom!
More than two hundred tiger squatting guns were fired at the same time, and tens of thousands of stones and iron beads rained down on the Jurchen cavalry.

At the same time, archers, musketeers, and ballistas also attacked at the same time, and densely packed bows, arrows, projectiles, and arrows poured out like a torrential rain!

For a moment, the front thirty feet of the Qi army formation was like a purgatory on earth. Hundreds of Jurchen cavalry and war horses were shot into sieves, and they could only lie on the ground and howl.

At this time, the Jurchen cavalry behind did not hesitate, the horse trampled over the wounded soldier, and then shot the bow and arrow in his hand.

"shoot!"

Tang Xiangjin roared again, and more than 2000 soldiers ignited the "swarm of rockets" at the same time.

The next moment, nearly one hundred thousand sharp arrows were shot at the passing cavalry with lightning speed, and for a while, the entire formation was filled with smoke.

puff!puff!puff!
In an instant, the neatly arranged cavalry team suddenly became uneven as if it had been chewed by dogs. Only three or four hundred cavalry escaped by chance, and at least thousands of cavalry fell in front of the formation.

"withdraw!"

Seeing this scene, Huang Taiji's eyes were tearing apart instantly, and he hurriedly took the lead to retreat into the distance.

……

Watching Huang Taiji retreat with his troops, Tang Xiangjin ordered to start sweeping the battlefield.

"Captain, the battlefield has been cleared."

Pan Ping came to Tang Xiangjin with a battle report and said: "We had 460 casualties, of which 350 were injured and 1000 were killed. The Jurchens killed more than [-] people, and the horses died [-] taels. More than a hundred horses, more than three hundred wounded horses were captured."

"Smoke all the horses that died in battle into jerky, and treat the wounded horses as much as possible."

Hearing Pan Ping's words, Tang Xiangjin waved his hands. Although the results were great, their consumption was also huge. The bows and arrows were negligible, but the gunpowder for more than 200 tiger squatting guns fired at the same time cost more than a thousand taels of silver, more than 2000 The cost of the "swarm rocket" is more than 1 taels of silver.

It's not a battle, it's just throwing money at it. He had played before, asking Su Hao to use the money to train more soldiers. Unfortunately, Su Hao didn't listen, and expanded the swarm rocket battalion. Before that, there were only nearly 2000 soldiers. But now there are 6000 people in Daqi's Rocket Battalion, and he brought over 2000 people this time.

...

The next day, Tang Xiangjin led a large army to the city of Shenyang.

.........

On the city tower, looking at the Qi army camping in the distance, Huang Taiji's face was so gloomy that it almost dripped water. He never thought that he wanted to use the cavalry's riding and shooting ability to drag down the Qi army in front of him. Unexpectedly, only one time Getting close cost him more than 1000 soldiers.

Thinking of the overwhelming number of sharp arrows, Huang Taiji couldn't help but tremble again. Although the Jurchens were good at shooting, the number of bows and arrows they could shoot in each volley was limited, because each archer needed enough space to shoot arrows. It would be good to have two or three thousand arrows in a volley, but the firearms of the Qi army actually shot out the overwhelming arrows.

At this time, three middle-aged men dressed in civilian clothes walked out of the Qi army camp in the distance, and soon the three of them came to the city of Shenyang.

"We are the envoys of Da Qi asking to see Jurchen Khan!"

When he came to the city, Yan Xia clasped his hands and raised his voice.

Yan Xia's voice was quite loud, and Huang Taiji who was on the tower could naturally hear it clearly.

"Let them come up."

After thinking for a while, Huang Taiji waved his hand and said, although he didn't really want to see him, but as a profuse Khan of the Jurchen clan, he had no reason to be afraid to disappear.

"Da Qi's envoy Yan Xia has seen the Great Khan."

Seeing Huang Taiji in a sweat suit, Yan Xia bowed his hands. As Da Qi's envoy, he would naturally not make any rude actions, after all, he represented Da Qi.

"Yan envoys don't need to be too polite."

Seeing that Yan Xia took the initiative to salute, Huang Taiji, who had studied Han culture since childhood, raised his eyebrows slightly, and then said flatly, "I don't know why Da Qi sent envoys from Yan here?"

"Back to Dahan, my majesty sent me to ask, is your Shenyang city for sale?"

Hearing what Huang Taiji said, Yan Xia clasped his hands and said, although Yan Xia was full of etiquette, what he said stunned Huang Taiji, Jierhalang and Dorgon beside him for an instant.
