Reborn Ming Dynasty as Emperor

Chapter 122 Unscrupulous Literati Fan Wencheng

Li Yongfang withdrew his troops and retreated, but the Mongolian cavalry had no time to retreat. Even Li Yongfang's retreat caused his formation to be chaotic, and he was directly exposed to the cavalry battalion of the Imperial Guards.

Oboi swung his right arm vigorously first, and the fierce horse roared towards him, beheading several tartars in succession.

Soldiers from other cavalry battalions also entangled these Tartar cavalrymen on horseback.

Now, the effect of Oboi's unique cavalry training is fully revealed. The solidarity between man and horse makes the soldiers of the cavalry battalion kill the enemy as easily on horseback as if they were on flat ground.

And this tribe that once ruled the world on horseback is no longer as powerful as the former Golden Family.

The Mongolian ministries, which have been in constant strife all year round, are now in a state of disunity. Although individual soldiers are still powerful, once they encounter a cavalry attack of the same scale, they cannot organize a decent confrontation.

There is no other reason, even the Mongolian cavalry of the two banners that are now assisting Huang Taiji are composed of several tribes of different sizes.

When some tribes saw that the cavalry of the Ming army were so brave and fearless, they even started to retreat directly in order to preserve their strength. As a result, it didn't take long for the two banners of Mongolia to be directly defeated.

Now Huang Taiji somewhat regretted his selfish decision to let the Han and Mongolian cavalry take the first shot. Although he could find out the situation of the Ming army and consume the ammunition of the Ming army at the expense of the Han and Mongolian soldiers, it also reduced his morale.

"It seems that Zhu Youxiao and his imperial guards are not as simple as imagined. Their artillery has become so powerful. How about the loss of our artillery?"

As Huang Taiji said, Tong Yangxing, who had already lost his lottery, stepped forward: "Hui Dahan, everything was destroyed. Although there are a few usable guns, they are no match for the enemy's new cannons with such range and power."

Huang Taiji, who didn't realize how powerful the Ming army's firearms were at first, couldn't help feeling a little distressed, and even asked Fan Wencheng beside him, "Mr. Fan has a good strategy."

Fan Wencheng stroked a few strands of yellow beard under his jaw, looked around at the Han people who had been captured and tied up with pigs, cattle, dogs and sheep, couldn't help showing a sinister smile, pointing at these people with sad faces and said:

"Big Khan, it's better to let these people go ahead. If the Ming army dares to fire, it will kill only a few people, but it can also consume the gunpowder of the Ming army. At that time, our Eight Banners warriors will fight from the two wings again, with a swift momentum. A sudden advance may directly disrupt the deployment of the Ming army;
If the Ming army did not dare to fire, and Zhu Youxiao is really a king who loves the people, then his firearms are useless, and he can only fight with us. With the bravery of my Eight Banners man, there is no need to be afraid. "

As an early fan, Fan Wencheng was willing to cut off his hair and join the Tazi camp. Naturally, because he was unhappy in Ming Dynasty, he was not a man of deep and far-sightedness in essence, and because he had no integrity, he paid no attention to it. Unscrupulous, disregarding the lives of the people of the same clan, although full of benevolence and morality, but more vicious than the Tartars.

Although the leaders of the Tatars are not ashamed of him as a Han, they all agree with his suggestion again and again. Everyone wants to reduce the number of deaths of their tribes and bannermen. These years, the population is wealth. Instead of this, it is better to let these looters come The people of the Ming Dynasty were used as cannon fodder. Anyway, these people will be taken out of the customs in the future as slaves of "two-legged sheep".

But Huang Taiji didn't express his position. Naturally, he didn't want to drive the people of Ming Dynasty to use them as human shields to pave a bloody path for the warriors of the Eight Banners.

It's that he didn't want to use it to attack the Ming army unless he had to. After all, these so-called slaves will be the foundation of his rise in the future.

Huang Taiji frowned and pondered, the current battle situation was also the result he didn't want to happen.

He knows that his Houjin currently has few soldiers and insufficient strength. Although a single soldier or a single team is far better than the Ming army who was still farming or working as a playboy a few months ago, the current Ming Dynasty still has hundreds of thousands of soldiers. , the longer he stays in Daming, the more dangerous he will be.

The last thing Huang Taiji wanted was to be called a war of attrition. He knew from fighting his father for many years that a war of attrition was the last thing worth fighting for Hou Jin, who lacked productivity.

But when he thought that he could capture Zhu Youxiao, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty alive, and threaten the Ming court by eliminating the confrontation organized by the more than ten thousand Ming troops ahead, he was reluctant to retreat after losing hundreds of bannermen.

In the end, Huang Taiji stood up resolutely: "Desire to drive the [-] looted population to advance from the front. Duoduo and Abatai each led [-] armored warriors to rush in from the left and right wings. Li Yongfang and Khalkha The two divisions of Kuer and Kuer made the third and fourth rounds of attack. This time, no matter how fierce the bandit army’s weapons are, they will all be charged by Ben Khan, and they will not withdraw their troops if they don’t call gold. If anyone dares to retreat, he will be killed immediately!"

"Yes!"

The Tartars all stepped on their war horses, leaving only their heads as thick as copper coin holes, which shone brightly against the sun's rays, with fierce expressions on their faces, blowing hot air from their mouths, and a murderous look.

At the same time, the tens of thousands of people who were detained were as dumb as chickens, their faces were colorless, and their hair was disheveled. Although most of them were adult men or women, there was no anger or hatred in their eyes, only sadness.

"Go! Why are you standing there!"

The puppet army who acted temporarily as the driver, that is, the Jin Han army after the surrender, beat these Ming people with a whip and walked forward.

Those who hesitated a little, even directly hacked to death with a knife.

Meanwhile, the imperial guards, who took advantage of the fact that the Tartars had not yet attacked, rushed to rest and strengthen their defenses, and immediately entered the battlefield after hearing the news that Oboi had reported that the Tartars had arrived.

However, the soldiers of the imperial guards were all dumbfounded when they saw countless civilians of Ming Dynasty walking towards this side.

Fu Dahai had already ordered the artillerymen to adjust the gun positions, but he did not give the order for a long time.

Zhu Youxiao also came out in a hurry at this time, came to the artillery position and lingered, seeing the people approaching in front of him, he couldn't help but smashed the ground: "Despicable!"

Although in this era, killing civilians by mistake on the battlefield is not a major event, but Zhu Youxiao, as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and what he preached to the Imperial Guards is to love and respect the people, and now let the people appear under his butcher knife, If he brazenly ordered the attack to continue, the prestige he had established would be destroyed.

What's more, he couldn't do it like other Imperial Guard soldiers to attack the unarmed people of the same clan.

"If the enemy changes, we will change too," Zhu Youxiao said loudly, "Oboi!"

"minister!"

"Lead the cavalry battalion to kill the Tartar who drove the people. The infantry battalion followed up quickly. After the cavalry battalion opened the gap, they escorted the people back. The artillery battalion moved forward, put the Tartar inside and fought again! "

"Yes!"

Oboi and his cavalry had never dismounted from their horses at the beginning, at this time Zhu Youxiao gave an order, and nearly a thousand cavalry rushed out again.

Huang Taiji was not idle here either, seeing that the Ming army deliberately disrupted his deployment with cavalry, he hurriedly ordered Duoduo and others to shoot back with arrows.
