Back to Daming to be a genius

Chapter 259

"Kill!" The destruction of the artillery array does not mean that Jiannu gave up his dream of capturing Shanhaiguan. Not long after Huang Taiji ran back to the formation, hundreds of cowhide drums in the Jiannu army immediately rang, and tens of thousands The Jiannu infantry, composed of traitors, Mongolians, and court traitors, lined up in loose artillery formations, resisted the ladders, and pushed the siege platforms, siege carts, and iron carts, charging and killing with strange screams. To Shanhaiguan.And behind them, there was another Jiannu artillery force pushing twenty red cannons imitated by Jiannu himself, desperately moving forward, grabbing the gun positions to load ammunition and ammunition, trying to use this imitation artillery with a range of only three or four miles to suppress Shanhaiguan. The firepower of the defenders on the city creates opportunities for the infantry to attack the city.

"Take down Shanhaiguan, disband military discipline for three days! Cut off the head of the old barbarian Xiong Tingbi, reward five thousand silver! The first one to enter Shanhaiguan, reward one thousand silver, and ten beauties!" In order to boost morale, Huang Taiji asked every Jiannu The generals shouted slogans loudly, and they must let every soldier who established slaves know their rewards.As a result, under the shouts of the Jiannu generals at all levels, the Jiannu infantrymen who were dazzled by the rewards all had red eyes, howled like a group of mad dogs, and rushed towards the Shanhaiguan pass wall without stopping.At this moment, there was a burst of clear gunshots like popping beans on the Shanhaiguan Pass. The wooden arrow tower standing behind the city wall was filled with gunpowder smoke, and a row of lead bullets roared towards them.

"Haha, you barbarian, you've lost your head from fright, and you shoot at a distance of three or four hundred steps. Your guns are magic weapons of gods..." An experienced old Jian slave, Niu Lu, saw the Ming army shooting indiscriminately. He wanted to laugh, but he felt as if his face had been hit by a hammer, his eyes went dark, blood spurted from his old and ugly face, and he fell off his horse on his back.And on his left and right, Jiannu Niulu and Jiala wailed one after another, or were shot in the face, or were shot in the chest, either screaming and falling off their horses, or clutching their wounds and screaming, What a ghost! How could the barbarian’s musket shoot so far? It’s so accurate?”

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" New gunshots came one after another, and the snipers under the direct control of Young Master Zhang quickly reloaded the ammunition and fired successively.The Jiannu generals who survived the first round of volleys were not as lucky as they were just now. After two shots at most, one of the Jiannu generals screamed and fell off his horse. And no matter how the Jiannu generals call ghosts and Huang Daxian, it is useless. As long as they are wearing general armor, they will definitely not be able to escape the poisonous hands of Master Zhang's sniper team. Snipers stare at them, even if they are lucky enough to escape the first few shots, they will definitely not be able to avoid the third and fourth shots behind, and the death rate is as high as [-]%!In this way, in such a short moment, the Jiannu generals who were able to ride comfortably on horseback have become rare animals—rare and harmful animals with pale faces and trembling lips.

As the saying goes, four or two strikes a thousand catties. Although the Ming army snipers did not kill many enemies, and the total number was only a few dozen, the middle and lower-level generals were quickly killed in large numbers, which brought an unimaginably heavy blow to the morale of the Jiannu army.Without the general commanding the expulsion, and seeing the inexplicable and tragic death of the general in his own team, almost every Jiannu soldier felt a chill in his heart, the sound of strange screams became quieter, and the speed of charging slowed down, some of them were particularly timid The soldiers simply ran away, but very well, Jiannu's supervisory team has always been more competent, hacked and killed several deserters one after another, and then stabilized the charge formation again.

Seeing this scene, Dai Shan and Huang Taiji, who were watching the battlefield with the binoculars they got from Ningyuan, changed their faces drastically, and shouted in unison: "Zhang Haogu, little mad dog!" After shouting, Dai Shan yelled pale , "Could it be that Zhang Haogu's little mad dog has already arrived at Shanhaiguan?"

"Impossible." Huang Taiji shook his head resolutely, and said decisively: "If Zhang Haogu's little mad dog is in Shanhaiguan, then I went over to answer Xiong Laomanzi just now. With Zhang Haogu's shameless character, he must have been called a musketeer." Shoot me to death!" Huang Taiji's words are indeed true, if Young Master Zhang had been at the east gate of Shanhaiguan just now, then Huang Taiji would have been beaten into briquettes by thirty or forty Ming army snipers if he dared to go to the Shanhaiguan city to speak out. It’s just that Young Master Zhang has already been driven to the west gate by the angry father-in-law. Xiong Tingbi, who thinks that the two armies are fighting without beheading envoys, is not as low as Young Master Zhang. He likes to kill enemy envoys with white flags. Little life.Of course, if Young Master Zhang had shot and killed Huang Taiji at the east gate of Shanhaiguan, then the three thousand Jiannu elite led by Tang Guguo would not have been able to make a detour to land from the sea.

"Since it's not Zhang Haogu's little mad dog, how could Old Manzi Xiong have such a new type of musket that can shoot so far and be so accurate?" Dai Shan asked in surprise: "Didn't that person in Ningyuan say that the old eunuch Wei encouraged the barbarian? The emperor issued a decree that no one in the barbarian army will be equipped with new-style muskets except Zhang Haogu's little mad dog army, not even the Liaodong army is allowed to equip them!"

"There are only two possibilities, one is that Zhang Haogu's little mad dog secretly lent dozens of new-style muskets to his father-in-law, and the other is that Zhang Haogu's little mad dog sent a musket team composed of sharpshooters to Xiong Laomanzi to assist in the battle. "Huang Taiji quickly analyzed, and pouted his mouth forward again, "Second brother, look, the battle under the gate has already begun. If Zhang Haogu's mad dog army is here, our army will not even think about taking a step closer to the city wall."

Dai Shan quickly raised his binoculars to take a closer look, and saw that the battle under the city of Shanhaiguan had indeed begun. According to the old tactics, the infantry of our own army covered the archers with truss carts and iron-wrapped carts, and shot arrows to suppress the defenders above the city. Put countless ladders on the city wall, and the ants attach themselves to the city.The Ming army also defended the city with the old tactics, hitting the ladder with giant trees, blocking the enemy with muskets and arrows, and throwing rolling stones, wooden ash bottles and hitting people. The battle was extremely fierce, but there were no large numbers of new muskets in the Ming army. Repression is weaker.Seeing this, Daishan breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly shouted: "What are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and use the Hongyi cannon to fight!"

"Boom! Boom!" The banner was fired, and Jiannu's Hongyi cannon first began to roar, pouring all kinds of shells at the head of Shanhaiguan City and the city.But in this way, the position of the Jiannu artillery position was immediately exposed, and the Ming army cannons that Xiong Tingbi deliberately stayed to suppress the Jiannu artillery also began to roar, concentrating their firepower to bombard the Jiannu artillery position, and started a battle with the Jiannu artillery in the land of China. Also quite rare artillery battle.It's just that Jiannu's experience in using artillery is obviously insufficient, and the arrangement of the cannons is too dense. In the case that the accuracy of the artillery on both sides is generally not high, the Ming army only needs to concentrate its firepower on one point. In the Jiannu artillery team, a large number of Jiannu artillerymen were killed and injured, and they could even directly destroy the Jiannu artillery. The Jiannu artillery had to bombard the Ming army cannons that were loosely arranged on the wall. Army artillery, the effect is naturally greatly reduced. By the time Jiannu discovered this problem and adjusted the artillery team, it was already too late. The artillery of the Ming army had already achieved a decisive advantage in firepower, and Jiannu's precious artillery team had also been damaged by [-]%. more.

The battle was most intense at the city of Shanhaiguan. Although a large number of generals were killed in battle, the Jiannu soldiers with extremely powerful fighting power still rushed to the city several times, and fought hand-to-hand with the soldiers of the Ming army. The Ming army of Shanhaiguan trained by Xiong Tingbi also Not to be outdone, he threw down the musket that was too late to reload the ammunition, raised the knife and gun and went forward to fight to the death, killing the enemy soldiers with more and more efforts to fill the gap.However, Cao Bianjiao and Ma Shilong, two fierce generals of the Ming army, each carried a big sword, and led a death squad composed of elite soldiers to roam around, hacking and killing to make up for leaks. Therefore, although Jiannu attacked fiercely, he still could not stand on the wall despite paying a heavy price. .The Jiannu soldiers under the city were even wailed and howled by the raindrops of the big stones, and the ditches were densely covered with the corpses of the Jiannu soldiers, as well as the Jiannu carts and iron-wrapped carts. Let’s take a look at the role of covering the archers, but after Xiong Tingbi immediately used the water dragon fuel injection tactic invented by his son-in-law, the Jiannu chariot and the iron-clad chariot were quickly turned into flaming mobile fires under the intensive rocket fire of the Ming army However, many Jiannu archers hiding behind the wagons and iron-wrapped wagons were also drenched in kerosene and shot by rockets, turning into burning men rolling all over the ground, dying miserably.Seeing this, Dai Shan and Huang Taiji yelled at Young Master Zhang for his vicious invention, and had no choice but to send a second round of siege teams to strengthen the offensive on the city wall.

With lessons learned from the past, Jiannu's second wave of siege troops was as strong as the first wave, especially those Jiannu generals who were all shy, only dared to hide behind the army and shouted to expel them, threatening their subordinates to charge and attack the city, and then None of the generals dared to rush to the front and take the lead in attacking the city like before. Although the generals at all levels of Jiannu were brave, they were not stupid.But in this way, the Jiannu soldiers naturally followed suit, shouting fiercely, but the speed of their feet was comparable to that of a tortoise. They ran for half an hour and did not finish half of the five-mile journey. Instead, it was the siege army ahead. Because of the lack of support, they were defeated by the Ming army and their offensive was greatly reduced.Seeing this scene, Daishan, who was almost mad with anger, called his second son Shuotuo, and shouted at him: "You lead the supervising team up, and ask all Niulujiala to lead the charge for me! Those who are timid and afraid of fighting, Including Jiala, there is no need to ask for orders, and they will be executed immediately!"

"Decree!" Shuo Tuo agreed loudly, rushed to the supervising team, led more than a hundred soldiers of the supervising team, and caught up with the second wave of Jiannu siege team that was about to enter the range of the Ming army's snipers. Dao roared: "The regent Baylor has an order, all Niulujiala must take the lead in attacking the city, and those who disobey the order will be executed immediately!"

Jiannu military regulations are extremely strict. Seeing the sharp steel swords of the supervising team, Jiannu generals at all levels are no longer afraid of Ming army snipers. Speed ​​charge.But Shuotuo was not satisfied, and he patted his horse to catch up with Niu Lu, a Jiannu who was obviously afraid to charge, raised his knife and shouted: "Let me charge, if you dare to play tricks, I will immediately..." The words did not fall , Gunshots rang out from the sniper tower behind the Shanhaiguan city wall, two bullets hit Shuotuo accurately, one of the bullets just hit the forehead of Shuotuo, and penetrated into the brain from the temple, blood and brains spurted from the wound, Shuotuo even Humph didn't even have time to hum, he fell headfirst from his horse and ended his sinful life.

"Damn! Run!" Shuo Tuo died in front of him, and the Jiannu Niulu screamed, turned his horse's head subconsciously, and ran away.Someone took the lead, and the other Jiannu generals who were lucky enough not to be killed followed suit. They scrambled to turn their horses and escape. The Jiannu soldiers were at a loss, and the team suddenly became chaotic. While blasting a few shots, many Jiannu soldiers were killed, which added to the chaos of the Jiannu team. Countless Jiannu infantry ran away. The second wave of siege teams did not even touch the city wall of Shanhaiguan. Has completely collapsed.

The army did not live up to this, and his son died again. Daishan was so angry that he almost vomited blood. Bite the bullet and send out the third wave of siege teams to contain the main forces of Shanhaiguan, and see if there is any luck to break through Shanhaiguan head-on-although Daishan himself dare not place too much hope, Xiong Tingbi, who is a serious professional, has the ability to fight tough battles, but Much better than his bad son-in-law trained by his wild way.At the same time, Dai Shan yelled wildly, "Send someone to send an order to Tang Gu Gu, telling him to attack Shanhaiguan immediately after he lands! After taking down Shanhaiguan, I will give him credit in front of Father Khan and make him the fifth Baylor!"

………………

In fact, Daishan can completely avoid wasting effort to urge Tang Gugu. Tang Gugu, who has been holding the title of Acting Zhengbai Banner Lord, is even more eager than him to enter Shanhaiguan and establish an inexhaustible achievement—no way, the original Zhengbai Banner Lord Huang Not only did Taiji return to Liaodong, and gradually cleared up the suspicion of traitors and traitors who were shamelessly framed by Young Master Zhang, but also gained more and more reuse and trust from Nuerhachi and Daishan by virtue of his outstanding talents. Tang Gu, the owner of the Zhengbai Banner, was not jealous and went crazy, and was so nervous that his heart raised his throat, then there was really a ghost screaming.So this time when Daishan decided to take the sea route to attack the west gate of Shanhaiguan, he felt that this was a godsend. Tang Gu not only volunteered to fight resolutely, but also brought out the entire Zhengbai Banner family. , all went into battle, and vowed not to withdraw their troops until Shanhaiguan was taken!

When contemporary Shangang launched the second wave of siege, Tang Gu's elite three thousand Zhengbai flag had already detoured to five or six miles south of Laolongtou, and sent small boats to detect that there was no enemy on the shore. Tang Gu immediately ordered the fleet to dock, and the team Landing and gathering, the mysterious fleet carrying the Jiannu army was afraid of revealing their whereabouts. Tang Gu's army had just landed, and the fleet quickly sailed away without even saying hello.Tang Gugu was not in a hurry, he quickly rectified the army, announced the victory reward, and immediately led the army to the northeast, rushing towards the west gate of Shanhaiguan.

Although it is impossible to carry too many horses in this surprise attack by boat, the journey of five or six miles is nothing to the elite slave-builders who are extremely brave in horse and foot combat. It took more than half an hour before the flag died down. Tang Gugu's army had already reached the edge of Shanhaiguan's west gate under the cover of vegetation. When they sent scouts to scout, Tang Gugu was overjoyed by the scouts' return. The closed door was wide open, not closed at all - which meant that there was no need for even the trouble of asking Insider to risk opening the closed door.Tang Gugu secretly yelled, "God help me!" He quickly got up and shouted: "Brothers, rush with me, and kill the barbarians by surprise! Take down Shanhaiguan, and all the rich women in the city will be yours!"

"Kill!" With Tang Gu's promise, the morale of the three thousand Jiannu elite was greatly boosted. They quickly organized the team, shouted together, and rushed to the west gate of Shanhaiguan two miles away with a knife in hand.But beyond Tang Gu's expectations, the Ming army stationed outside the pass seemed to have not seen them or heard their shouts to kill. They didn't look panicked at all when they were suddenly attacked. They just organized the team in a leisurely manner. , Slowly set up the battle.Although Tang Gugu knew that it must be a bit weird, but the matter has come to this point, Tang Gugu can only bite the bullet and raise his knife and shout, "Brothers, go! Kill the barbarians and let the barbarian army see the strength of our Dajin warriors... .”

"Master, look!" Tang Gu's deputy, Youmei Le Erzhen Turg, suddenly screamed, interrupting Tang Gu's howl.Tang Gu turned his head in a daze, only to see that the soldiers of the more than a thousand soldiers of the Ming army suddenly put on white robes, and neatly held out strange rifles with dark three-edged sharp knives on the top. flag.Tang Gu, an illiterate man who didn't even know Jiannu Wen, hurriedly asked, "What's the word on the flag? Is it the barbarian army?"

"Slave Slayer!" Turg, who knew a few Chinese characters, screamed again, screaming in despair, "It's the Slave Slayer! It's that despicable demon king, the shameless murderer who killed thousands of soldiers and The executioner of the common people, the common mortal enemy of every citizen of our Dajin Kingdom—Zhang Haogu’s mad dog slave army!”

"Mad Dog Army? How is this possible?" Tang Gu was in a tizzy. He never dreamed that his luck would be so good. He sneaked into the back of Shanhaiguan and bumped into Jiannu's number one mortal enemy—Master Zhang's slave army!Then Tang Gu's first thought was, "If I knew I had this luck, I should have sent a few barbarian slaves to Jiangnan to buy a few lottery tickets."

"Bang bang bang bang!" Turg's screams were of course impossible for all the slave soldiers to hear. As a result, the slave soldiers who were generally not well-educated kept charging, and ran into the slave slaughter army's rifled muskets.In the continuous gunshots like popcorn, the Jiannu elite wailed and fell down like cutting wheat. The splashed blood instantly stained the ground under Jiannu's feet. After being hit one after another, they fell down in rows with desperate screams, and a neat row of corpse walls were piled up on the two armies—these soldiers who built slaves were not alien cannon fodder that Daishan used to attack the East Gate, but Each one is a genuine Jianzhou dog slave, and each one is the essence and main force of the Jianzhou army.

"Oh my God, how did you meet the Mad Dog Army here? What should I do? What should I do?" Seeing the most elite soldiers fall down in rows like cutting wheat, Tang Gugu was completely desperate and at a loss, and fled back and forth. Well, the ship carrying us has already slipped away, and further south is the Jimen army's net, and my army has no food and no aid, and plunged into the encirclement of the Jimen army, I'm afraid not even one can escape!Go forward desperately, the firepower of the slave slaughter soldiers in front is also as dense as raindrops and hail, and the Jian slave soldiers can't even rush to shoot arrows, and they are already screaming and falling in a pool of blood covered in blood. No matter how desperately you charge, you will just die in vain.

"Kill!" It was raining all night in the house leak, and at this moment, there was another killing sound from behind Tang Gu's army, and horseshoes shook the sky. Jiatang Ancient Army—Xiong Tingbi and Young Master Zhang are not stupid. Of course, it is impossible not to use Jimen Governor Yan Mingtai's army as a reserve team in case of a big battle like Shanhaiguan. There is no chance of fleeing south.The five thousand cavalry led by Yan Mingtai made a roundabout outflank, and rushed towards Jiannu in a semicircle. In the blink of an eye, they joined forces with the slaughtering slave army and surrounded Tanggu's remnant army heavily. There were still a large number of Ming army behind. The infantry then came and continued to deepen the encirclement.

The escape route was completely blocked, and the front could not rush through. In desperation, Tang Gugu had to order the whole army to stop charging, shrink into a group, and wait for an opportunity to break through.The Ming army was not in a hurry to shrink the encirclement, and the battlefield fell into silence for a while, except for the shouts of killing in the northeast direction, and the intense offensive and defensive battle at the east gate of Shanhaiguan continued.At this time, a messenger with a white flag rushed out from the slave slaughtering army, rushed to the front and shouted in Jiannu language: "Put down your weapons and surrender, and you will not die!"

"Fart!" Although Tang Gugu's talent was far inferior to Huang Taiji's, Jiannu still had a bit of arrogance and backbone, and he rejected the Ming army's persuasion to surrender with curses.The envoys of the slave-slaughter army didn't force it, and immediately turned around and returned to the formation, while the slave-slaughter army also sneaked out behind them without anyone noticing, pushing twenty small cannons of Francine machine, and originally planned to imitate the young master Zhang who had killed all the soldiers in vain. With an order from the tower, Zhang Shitou waved the command flag, and twenty cannons fired together, blasting the stones at the Jiannu army like iron horns.Amidst the sound of the rumbling guns, the Jiannu elite team blossomed everywhere, and the desperate screams of the Jiannu elite also echoed on the battlefield outside the west gate of Shanhaiguan.A few snipers from the Slavery Army who were temporarily transferred to Ximen also found Tang Gugu's location. A few bullets went down. Don't die with peace.
