The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 573
Lin Dan Khan, who was trying to annex Karaqin in vain, was unwilling to confront Jiannu head-on after receiving the news of Houjin's aid, but retreated in a hurry, and the siege of Gelejuergen City was lifted.

It can be seen that Houjin's military strength is stronger than that of Lin Danhan, and the combat effectiveness of the Chahar cavalry is stronger than that of the Karaqin tribe. Auba's troops may be relatively bad on the grasslands. Huang Mingli definitely picked one this time. Soft persimmon pinch.

The city of Gele Zhuergen, the capital of Harqin, was once again threatened. They still wanted good things, and once again asked for help from the Kingdom of Jin. Of course, they also asked the two Taiji Wu Keshan and Manzhu Xili to participate in the attack on Jinzhou. back to the teacher.

The cavalry of the Ming army came overwhelmingly, and it stands to reason that the cavalry who ran for a long distance did not have the ability to attack fortifications!But this so-called city located in the upper reaches of the Nen River is not worth mentioning. It is not a city at all in Daming, at most it is just a bigger earthen enclosure.

Harqin, which is so poor, has no firearms at all, and of course there are no artillery for defending the city. Of course, even if they have artillery, it is impossible to fire at the top of the city.

The artillery of this era can’t be fired just by pulling on the city wall. It needs to build a special fort to fire. Otherwise, it’s hard to say whether it will hit the enemy after a few shots. Nine.

The reason why the fighters in Harqin were not effective in combat was entirely due to being too poor. Not only did they not have decent armor, but even more than half of the arrows they used were not iron arrows, but bone.

Therefore, a pair of strong armor is especially important for cavalry with cold weapons. Why didn't Nurhachi emphasize how many troops he had when he started his career, but emphasized thirteen sets of armor to raise troops?
This is because cavalry with the same skills, a knight equipped with armor, a strong bow, and iron arrows might shoot and kill several enemy cavalry in one battle, or even a dozen enemy cavalry without armor.

Although the Ming army preparing to attack the fortress did not bring artillery, they brought a lot of gunpowder just in case, and there were hundreds of "flying thunders".

There were no more than [-] light cavalry soldiers and civilians who fled here after the consecutive defeats in Gelejuergen City, and less than [-] of them could be considered fighters.

The Mongols' defense of the city is simply a joke. They just switched from soft bow shooting to hard bow shooting at the top of the city, and there is no defense equipment.

When the Ming army came to the city of Geljurgen, they did not besiege the city at all, but chose to break through in the south of the city. The army prepared for a day. A shield car made of big trees.

The attack began at noon the next day, with [-] Ming army cavalry in full formation, and [-] Neikha cavalry galloping back and forth.

Han Kuan and Lu Chengzu commanded the Huang family's fine steel pulley archers and musketeers to dismount and hide behind the shield car and approach the southern city wall of Glejurgen. Although the steel arrows were only mixed with more than 300 Mini bullets, it was enough to cause a massacre in the city. The Harqin soldiers, who were trying to pretend to be a car with their arms, were terrified.

Soon the Harqin soldiers could no longer be seen firing their bows and arrows at the top of the city. Their will to defend the city was not firm at all.

The Ming army calmly placed a large bomb with three hundred catties of gunpowder in the city gate. After the loud noise, the earthen city wall with a dozen steps from the city gate collapsed.

In just an hour, the city of Gelejuergen was breached. Since the Ming army only attacked a little bit, no one of the Karaqin cavalry dared to fight anymore. Knowing that the south gate was broken by the Ming army, one by one straddled their horses from the other three cities. The door fled.

The Ming army who fought on foot and attacked the city began to cover up the city unhurriedly. The Karaqin tartars who were knocked out of their spirits fled to the end of the world one by one.

Qing Getai, who was cruising around the city, immediately led Neikalkha and the Ming cavalry to pursue them in three directions. The Tartars were all competing in riding skills and playing hurricanes.

The Tartars were really good at riding, and five or six thousand light cavalry escaped by them. Unfortunately, the old, young, women and children in the city of Grajurgen couldn't escape, and neither could the young and strong who didn't grab the horses. They were outflanked one by one. The coming Ming army cavalry blocked the city. .

The Ming army captured nearly [-] Karaqin Tartars in this battle, and rescued thousands of Han people again. Many of them were ordinary people in Northern Zhili who were captured by the Karaqin Tartars in the second year of Chongzhen. Shuntian Mansion and Yongping Mansion most memberships.

They have been enslaved to the far north, which is nearly [-] miles away from the border wall, and served as slaves for more than three years. Many Han people could not bear the slavery and died of hunger and cold. Unexpectedly, Wang Shi went [-] miles north and went straight to the lair. All the rescued Han people cried loudly. cry.

At this time, this scene seems familiar. Huang Mingli has saved the Han people in dire straits many times, and he knows how to comfort these devastated compatriots.

Huang Mingli and Yan Yuese comforted everyone and said, "Fellow folks, I am the commander-in-chief of the 'God of War' Nan Guogong of Ming Dynasty. You are all saved. The Huang family will not abandon every Han Chinese. You should cheer up and eat and sleep well. Follow the army back home in a few days!"

go home?This scene, which often appears in dreams, often makes the tortured Han people cry until dawn. Today, the dream has come true, and the Han compatriots burst into tears.

"My lord, we have heard of the name 'God of War', and only the Huang family can break through the wall for three thousand miles."

"My lord, the little one will follow the Huang family from now on. The little one is a good farmer and herdsman."

"My lord, the young ones can ride horses if they are strong, and the young ones want to join the army with the adults."...

Huang Mingli laughed and said: "Everyone don't have to worry about the future. The Huang family will properly accommodate everyone, and all the girls are no exception. There is no need to say anything now, and get enough energy to go home."

"'God of War' wins all!" "Master Huang wins all!"The Han people who were rescued cheered thunderously. At this time, ecstasy is not enough to describe their mood. The reputation of "God of War" Huang Sheng was deeply burned into the hearts of these Han people.

The city of Gelejuergen was full of bloody smell. While Huang Mingli was comforting the rescued Han Chinese, Qing Geertai, Heihu, etc. were being massacred.As long as it is the Karakin Tartars, there will be no man who is taller than the wheel, and 5000 heads will fall to the ground, frightening the entire city.

One or two thousand former captives of Mongolian tribes such as Neikarka, Chahar, Wuliangha, etc. hastily stated that they were not Karaqin people at all. This Taiji takes him in.

This is absolutely possible. The Qingertai tribe has these men, and it is more than enough to pick a thousand fighters from them. This Taiji has obtained thousands of boys and a ready-made source of soldiers. He is destined to improve his strength to a higher level.
