The white porridge and pickled mustard is enough, why am I wearing a royal robe?

Chapter 217 Shocked Huang Taiji
This battle was very difficult.

The walls were difficult to conquer.

Soldiers in his team began to flee because the battle was too brutal.

His elite Eight Banners Army suffered heavy casualties.

Almost all the Mongolian servants who came with them fled.

What Huang Taiji didn't expect was that the emperor, ministers, and even the entire Ming army were surprisingly united.

Not only did he place spies inside the imperial city to spread rumors about Yuan Chonghuan, but he even did so with the troops outside the imperial city.

His arrangements had no effect at all.

He directly severely punished a group of Eight Banners officers.

for. Most of the Mongolian soldiers who escaped and were captured, he directly executed a large number of them.

In the past, Abatai's careless temperament always came directly from him.

At this time, Abatai still looked like a capable Huang Taiji general. His hair was scrawled and tied into knots, his eyes were bloodshot, and his beard was covered with ice particles. The whole person looked extremely haggard, like a man wandering on the grassland.

With these cities placed here, the defense line in the north of the Ming Dynasty is almost useless. They can come whenever they want.

Huang Taiji already had the answer in his heart. The mission to capture the Stove King was probably a failure.

Where can I still look like a prairie warrior?

Although it was said that more than 40,000 King Laiqin's troops were wiped out, Huang Taiji knew that he had not captured the capital city, and the killing of these people had no effect at all.

The curtain of the military tent was suddenly opened, and a embarrassed figure rushed in.

Before I came in, I knew someone would be sent to inform me.

He finally understood why the ancestors of all dynasties were obsessed with going south.

In the future, these places will be his springboard to attack the Ming Dynasty.

Huang Taiji, who was originally unhappy because of the failure to attack the capital, was in a slightly better mood.

Huang Taiji left a small group of troops to inform Abatai, who was heading south, about the movements of their army.

They went all the way to the Eastern Jin Dynasty and even Keshu City was forgotten. Has Abatai actually captured the Stove King?

Huang Taiji immediately beamed with joy when he heard this. This was double happiness.

"Regulate the army and advance eastward," Huang Taiji made the decision to withdraw from the surroundings of the capital city. If he stayed here, he would only become a living target.

However, he failed to live up to the expectations of the Grand Master. He also failed, and it was a disastrous defeat. The Grand Master attacked the capital, and at least he achieved results for now and occupied these cities.

It became a springboard for attacking the Ming Dynasty in the future.

He occupied Zunhua and Yongping.

The armies of the Ming Dynasty were so large that even these 40,000 people were unable to injure the people of the Ming Dynasty.

And sent troops and horses to garrison these places.

Daming has almost become a pasture for their horses.

"Let him in quickly," Huang Taiji said quickly. This Abatai has never been so well-behaved in the house.

He was sitting in the army, with the map of the Ming Dynasty in front of him. Huang Taiji was fascinated by the magnificent splendid rivers and mountains.

However, it is impossible to let him roll back to the grassland in despair. Since a hole has been torn from the direction of Mongolia, this hole must be enlarged infinitely.

The Ming Dynasty has a huge territory and a large number of people. He only needs to obtain some results, and then use these results to continuously consume the national power of the Ming Dynasty.

Huang Taiji had begun to look forward to what kind of person the Kitchen King was.

To put it bluntly, he is now like a blood-sucking insect lying on Daming's body like a prairie livestock.

"This is for me to see, and I am going to reward him," Huang Taiji's face suddenly showed a look of dumbfounding. It's quite cute for such a stubborn warrior to do this occasionally.

With these places, to a certain extent, it is more important than winning Jincheng.

At the same time, he also knew that the Grand Master's attack on the capital had failed, and he placed his hope on him.

"Why was it defeated? What was the loss?" He looked at Abate and asked directly. The attack on the capital failed, and now, Abate has also failed.

If the six thousand light cavalry were left on the territory of the Ming Dynasty forever because they were not aware of their movements, it would be very traumatic for Houjin.

Huang Taiji marched all the way eastward, and the troops marched in high spirits. Wherever they passed, the Han people scattered and fled.

Huang Taiji never doubted that Abate might fail.

Six thousand light cavalry, although not too many, but with the cooperation of "Emperor Chongzhen", they only had to face the Kitchen King and his rogue troops.

The troops of the King of Qin from all walks of life. It is estimated that it is almost there. If we leave now, they will waste a lot of national power in a vain trip.

After Huang Taiji saw Abatai's appearance, his heart suddenly sank.

The Grand Master had high hopes for him. After Abatai got into the tent, he saw the smile on the Grand Master's face.

Abatai looked at Huang Taiji. When he heard Huang Taiji's words, the only light left in his eyes went out. What was the loss and why he failed.

With such land, how could his descendants continue to fight for their livelihood?
"Report! Grand Master! Outside the tent, ask for an audience with General Abate outside the tent."

Huang Taiji knew that destroying the Ming Dynasty was definitely not something that could be accomplished in just a few years.

But as for him, he lost a lot of cavalry in vain. It is estimated that less than a thousand cavalry can return here now.

It was a disastrous defeat. In the entire history of the grasslands, there had almost never been such a disastrous defeat.

"Master, Abatai was defeated. All six thousand cavalry were scattered. I came back alone. It is estimated that there are less than a thousand people who are still alive and able to return here."

Abatai knelt directly on the ground. Perhaps, a thousand people were too many.

When Huang Taiji heard this, his body suddenly staggered.

"Master."

Abatai panicked and wanted to get up and help the prince.

However, he saw Huang Taiji steady his body and stretched out his palm to stop his behavior.

"No need to step forward," he was so angry that he almost fainted. Nearly 80% of the 6,000 cavalry were lost. Why, you must know that these are cavalry. They can still run away if they can't be beaten.

Emperor Chongzhen designed him to attack the Stove King, and it would definitely not be a flanking attack.

"Why did you fail? The other party came with a lot of troops? Or did you accidentally enter the encirclement?"

Huang Taiji asked. In his opinion, with such a big loss, Abatai was already a dead man. If he had not been left to ask about the reason for the failure, Huang Taiji would have wanted to drag this man down and kill him.

Hearing this, Abatai's face became even more ashamed, "Not many people came, nor did they enter the encirclement. We were defeated in a head-on confrontation on the plain." After hearing this, Huang Taiji pressed his hand directly on He touched the brim of his hat on his forehead, his dark face full of suppressed anger.

"How many people, how many people died on the other side."

Abatai took a deep breath and was ready to be hacked to death by the furious Huang Taiji with a knife after he finished speaking his answer.

"The opponent used a group of less than 500 cavalry as bait to attract us to the location of the opponent's position," Abatai told slowly while Huang Taiji listened.

He really couldn't imagine why the cavalry could fail on the plains, and why it failed so miserably.

"Then, Abate originally thought that the opponent would have a huge infantry formation."

Huang Taiji nodded in agreement. On the plain, there were baits, and it was impossible to set up an ambush. The other party just wanted to take Abatai's march route to the designated place.

Then use an infantry formation to deal with Abate's cavalry. If you want to deal with 6,000 cavalry, the infantry formation will require at least 30,000 people.

Abate's cavalry team could lose so much, and the opponent might even have 100,000 people.

However, if there are really 100,000 people, Abatai is leading light cavalry. If the situation is not right, he should leave. Why can he lose nearly 80% of the troops and horses.

"On the other side, there are less than a hundred people ambushing them."

After Abatai finished speaking, he raised his head and glanced at Huang Taiji. Huang Taiji stood there blankly, staggering again.

He stretched out his finger and pointed at Abatai in disbelief, "You have less than a hundred people?"

If he hadn't been so angry just now and had some mental preparation, Huang Taiji felt that he might fall directly to the ground now.

Then he passed away.

"With less than a hundred people, the cavalry team of 6,000 people was killed and only less than 1,000 people were left?"

"Do you think all the hundreds of people across from you are gods?"

Abatai gave a wry smile, "Not much worse than a god. The warriors of the grassland, the heroic charge, the cavalry of 6,000 people, facing the opponent's 100 people, at a distance of 500 steps, should have been crushed."

"but"

"The warriors had not advanced fifty steps, and nearly five hundred people had died."

"But the other party is still alive, and he didn't even move."

"how is this possible?"

Huang Taiji exclaimed, what Abatai said was too unbelievable.

For the cavalry to advance fifty steps, it was only a matter of a few breaths. Five hundred people died just like that. More importantly, the opponent had less than a hundred people.

"A hundred men and a hundred artillery pieces?"

Huang Taiji asked hurriedly.

A hundred artillery pieces would really be able to cause such damage, but why could a rogue have a hundred artillery pieces?

Huang Taiji couldn't understand.

"No, it's not artillery. It's more terrifying than artillery." Abate shuddered thinking about that scene. "There was no explosion."

After five hundred steps, the sound of the Maxim machine gun was already covered up by the sound of horse hooves, screams and wails.

"Our warriors almost died with their bodies mutilated, and the same was true for the horses," Abatai recounted the scene he saw while escaping.

"There are still such weapons in the world."

Huang Taiji frowned, looking at Abatai's horrified expression. Huang Taiji seemed to be able to immerse himself in the scene. Such a terrifying scene, any warrior on the grassland would be like this.

Something as small as a fly can easily smash a head into pieces.

Huang Taiji thought of those rumors about the Kitchen God, what kind of magic weapon, this kind of weapon has obviously been out of the scope of the human world, but Huang Taiji knew that the weapon of the Kitchen King was not the so-called magic weapon, the weapon of the Kitchen God was an immortal. Some names are not worthy of their name.

After all, if he is a true immortal, why would he still have the surname Zhu now?

If there were really magical means, he would have taken down the entire Ming Dynasty long ago, and even took them with him.

"It should be some kind of advanced firearm," Huang Taiji thought in his mind. When they first encountered the Daming firearm, they didn't believe that there was such a thing in the world.

Easier to use and more powerful than bows and arrows.

"If it's just the so-called hundred-man formation, you just need to turn around and run away. Why are the losses so heavy?"

Huang Taiji asked.

The opponent's position is there, and if they find something wrong, they can retreat.

The look of fear on Abate's face was even worse.

After seeing it, Huang Taiji frowned. Could there be something more terrifying?

Abate said slowly: "When we realized something was wrong, we did retreat, but on the way to retreat, a car came in front of us."

"Huh? A car, a carriage or something," Huang Taiji frowned, it was just a car, and there were so many of these cavalry, they could easily destroy that thing.

"No, it's not a carriage, nor a cart pushed by people," Abatai described the cart. "It's taller than a person riding on a horse, almost as tall as a horse, and even taller than a horse lying sideways. It's wide and looks huge, almost as big as the biggest house on the prairie, and it's very fast, faster than a horse."

"It can make a roaring sound, like thunder."

Huang Taiji turned around, walked to the chair, and then slowly sat down.

"This thing is a car."

He slowly closed his eyes. It was so huge and so fast. Why did the Kitchen King have these things?

"Abatai originally thought it was a beast, but who knew that after the knife struck it, it made a sound of gold and iron. Only then did Abatai know that it was a car."

"There are people inside who control this car and scatter our warriors. As long as the warriors are slightly brushed by this thing, they will almost be killed instantly."

"You can't run away, and you can't be beaten even more. There is no other way. Abatai can only let the warriors flee in all directions," Abatai said with a sad look on his face. "This car can carry people in the back. Those people With that weird weapon, as long as this car runs in front, the weapon will instantly tear the warriors into pieces."

"It's miserable, it's so miserable. Abatay has never fought such a miserable battle."

"Master, Abatai feels that all the rumors about the Kitchen King are true, whether it is the food he transformed or the magic weapon he transformed along the way."

"Yes, this is a sacred car," Huang Taiji murmured.

At the beginning, the bailout request they intercepted from Emperor Chongzhen contained a description of this sacred chariot. According to the intelligence, the Kitchen King captured the large city of Henan with only one man and one chariot.

Huang Taiji laughed for a while because of this information. Who knew that it would appear in front of them so quickly.

He didn't think that Abatai was bribed by Emperor Chongzhen, and he probably brought such information.

The sacred chariot is real, and so is the Kitchen King.
