Back to Daming to be a genius

Chapter 359
(PS: It’s already Monday, ask for a recommendation ticket for this week and a monthly ticket at the end of the month.)
In order to get rid of the Ming army's pursuit, they abandoned the Tabai army and sacrificed their lives in the Lianshanyi area. Follow the official road and go northward desperately.In order to prevent Tabai's army from vain sacrifices, Huang Taiji also resolutely showed the courage of a poisonous snake biting his wrist and a strong man breaking his arm. All unused supplies and seriously wounded who could not keep up with the speed of the march were discarded. Anyone who was lazy The general who complained and hoped to take a rest, beheaded immediately for public display!As a result, wherever the Jiannu army passed, there was nothing but crying, and hundreds of seriously injured and disabled Jiannu soldiers were crying for help in the ice and snow, begging the main army not to abandon them.

"Brother, I can still walk, I can still walk, as long as someone helps me a little, I can walk." A Jiannu seriously injured man whose right leg was blasted off by Ming army artillery cried and shouted, pulling The Jiannu soldier who once carried the stretcher for him pleaded bitterly: "Help me, I will definitely not hold you back, take me away, I don't want to be here! I stay here, even if the barbarians don't kill you!" I, too, will be frozen to death—!"

The heart-piercing cries of the Jiannu wounded were extremely sad. It can be said that those who heard it were sad and those who listened to tears, but the Jiannu soldiers who had carried him for hundreds of miles could no longer take care of him at this meeting. With tears in his eyes, he said: "Brother, this is the order of the Great Khan. We have tried our best. You... just let the fate go." After that, the Jiannu soldiers broke free from the wounded and wept loudly to catch up with the main force. The wounded were left struggling and crying on the ice and snow under the night, screaming, "I don't want to die, I don't want to die, I still have a wife and children...!"

"Soldiers, it's not that I'm cruel..." Hearing the horrific cries and pleadings of the wounded he ordered to abandon, the hard-hearted Huang Taiji also shed tears of guilt, and said with a sob: "But I won't do that. , Tabai and their army sacrificed in vain, in order to gain time and prevent other soldiers from vainly sacrificing, I can only wrong you, I... I'm sorry for you."

"Khan, don't blame yourself too much." Fan Wencheng comforted with tears: "Only if our main force can successfully break through, we will have the hope of avenging these soldiers in the future. In the future, we will kill more barbarian soldiers and common people." Heads, just pay homage to these great gold soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country. If you take more money and food from the barbarians to double the comfort to their families, I believe these loyal big gold soldiers will also die in peace after seeing that scene Yes." Huang Taiji nodded silently, but the tears continued to roll down no matter what he said.

Huang Taiji's sacrifice was not in vain. In the early morning of the next day, which was also the morning of October 29, the tenth year of the Great Ming Dynasty, the main force of slave building finally arrived at the place less than six miles away from the Tashan camp. Zhou Liuhezi joined forces with Jiannu Babuhai and Laimbu's troops stationed here.When the brothers met, Huang Taiji had no time to reminisce with the only two remaining brothers, and immediately rushed to the sand table of the map that Babuhai and Lai Mubu had made through careful reconnaissance of the Ming army's position and military situation, observing the Ming army's deployment strategy in order to formulate a strategy, What made Huang Taiji gasp was that in just four or five days, the Ming army on the northern line had built a simple wall between Baitai Mountain and Jinzhou Bay, which greatly increased the difficulty of building slaves to break through. At the same time, it also seized the highest point of Baitai Mountain, and the flanks of the Jiannu breakout army were completely exposed to the bright steel swords of the Ming army's Baitai Mountain garrison.

"How high is the barbarian's wall?" Huang Taiji frowned and asked, "Also, in such a cold day, the ground is completely frozen, how could the barbarian build such a long wall so quickly?"

"The barbarians are very cunning, so they didn't dig the soil to repair the wall." Babuhai replied with a sad face, "They used sacks of snow and sand to make sure they were solid, built a wall to prevent horses, and poured river water, and it would freeze in less than half an hour." It was stronger than the earthen wall, so it was repaired very quickly. The courtiers charged several times to destroy it, but the white soldiers on the barbarian side were really powerful, and they beat them back every time they charged. A barbarian army landed for reinforcements, including the mad dog army of Zhang Haogu's little barbarian, and together with the white soldiers, our army was forced to retreat here. More than 2 barbarian troops fought together, and soon This wall was built." After that, Babuhai added, "The wall is as high as a person, and it is impossible for a horse to jump over it."

"The barbarian!" Huang Taiji slammed his fist on the sand table, and said helplessly: "The only thing we can count on now is that Lao Liu can hold back the main force of the barbarian as much as possible. With the main force day and night, we still have hope."

"Uncle Eight, don't be excited when you hear the news that our scouts just sent." Du Du said tremblingly: "It was only three o'clock last night, and Uncle Six and the others had already wiped out the entire army. He chased him to the area of ​​Shanli Mountain, less than ten miles away from us."

"How is it possible?!" Huang Taiji's eyes widened, and he yelled like crazy: "The army I left for Lao Liu has at least 1 people. How could it be possible for the entire army to be wiped out so quickly? They Even if you stand in place and let the barbarians kill you, you won't be able to kill them all in a while, right?"

"Little barbarian Zhang Haogu is too cunning, he didn't fight Sixth Uncle at all." Du Du said dejectedly: "After we left the battlefield, Zhang Haogu little barbarian left the battlefield immediately, and used his absolutely superior force to kill Sixth Uncle." They surrounded them heavily and cut off the way for Sixth Uncle and the others to cut wood and make fire. As a result, Sixth Uncle and the others were too cold to bear, so they had to fight with the barbarian desperately trying to pull an army of barbarians to the death. But unfortunately, Sixth Uncle just started to charge. Immediately, we were killed by the barbarian's cold gun. Our army was in chaos, and we could no longer form a strong impact on the barbarian. They also sent Amin's rebellious army to surrender, so... our remnant army was wiped out."

"Zhang Haogu, you shameless savage!" Huang Taiji couldn't bear it any longer. He drew out his saber and slashed at the stone next to him to vent his anger, cursing at the same time, "Shameless! Shameless! To deal with our rear army, if you are really capable, fight us to the death!"

"Uncle Ba, there is another strange thing." Du Du said cautiously: "The wounded soldiers we abandoned on the road, as long as they didn't freeze to death, were rescued by the barbarian's army."

"How is it possible?" Fan Wencheng asked in amazement: "Zhang Haogu, the little mad dog, took the wrong medicine? In the past, our wounded soldiers fell into his hands, and they all died terribly. How could he be kind enough to rescue them today? The wounded soldier we abandoned? Did our scouts make a mistake?"

"No." Du Du shook his head and said helplessly: "When the scouts started to report, I couldn't believe it, but those scouts swore and swore that they saw the barbarians sent a special army to treat our wounded soldiers, and returned them to our wounded soldiers. He gave them hot soup and wine, and rescued them again."

"Khan, this news must be tightly sealed." Fan Wencheng said worriedly: "If the soldiers know about this news, it may be bad for our morale."

"Fart!" Huang Taiji yelled angrily: "You treat Zhang Haogu as an idiot, and you won't let those wounded soldiers rescued by the barbarian army come to the front of the battle to shout? When the time comes, we will deliberately block the news, and the soldiers will not On the contrary, you think we deceived them and wanted them to die in vain?" Fan Wencheng blushed from being scolded, and hurriedly withdrew, Huang Taiji made some calculations, then gritted his teeth and shouted: "We can't waste any more time, pass on my will, The whole army will go north immediately, and first rush to the front of the barbarian Tashan position."

Let me introduce the specific terrain of Tashan. Tashan is a small village with only a hundred households. It is adjacent to Jinzhou Bay in the east and Baitai Mountain in the west. The place with the narrowest terrain is the official road connecting western Liaoning and eastern Liaoning passing through the village. The enemy's blocking position was set on the north bank of this pitifully small river, and a wall of sand and snow as high as one person was built along the river bank to stop the Jiannu cavalry from charging.On the west side of Tashan, Baitai Mountain is only 230 miles above sea level. It is the only highest point in the entire Tashan battlefield. It can overlook the entire Tashan battlefield. It is also a tactical support point for the Ming army to block Jiannu.But fortunately, after the Ming army's navy landed on Tashan, it immediately seized this highest point, and now it has been handed over to the white-armed soldiers with the second strongest combat effectiveness in the Ming army. Overall, the control is very firm.It is also because of this that when Huang Taiji's army arrived three miles south of the Tashan position and set up a position, their brows suddenly became tighter. If Jiannu broke through with all his strength in such a blocking position without the threat of pursuers, it would be a little bit There is hope of a successful breakthrough, but now the main force of the Ming army is less than ten miles away from the Jiannu army. Whether Jiannu can break through this encirclement is anyone's guess.

Some people have to ask, since the main force of the Ming army has not yet arrived at the Tashan battlefield, why didn't Jiannu immediately launch an attack and break out of the siege?In fact, Huang Taiji also wanted to do this, but Huang Taiji knew very well that his army was too tired. Since Young Master Zhang pretended to be dead and retreated south on October 300, Jiannu won first and then lost, running back and forth in the Liaoxi Corridor After traveling for more than [-] miles, in just over eight days, there were more than [-] small battles in the extremely harsh climate. The soldiers and horses were already exhausted, and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced. Launching an attack, the possibility of successfully breaking through is really very small.But time waits for no one. The main force of the Ming army has already chased the main force of Jiannu within ten miles. Once the delay continues, when the main force of the Ming army arrives at the battlefield, Jiannu will have little hope of breaking through.So after thinking about it, Huang Taiji gritted his teeth and decided to take a gamble, and shouted: "The whole army is in line, I want to lecture you!"

The order was issued, and the remaining Jiannu army began to gather and line up. It was only at this moment that Huang Taiji had the opportunity to count the number of his remaining troops. What made Huang Taiji cry again was that after more than a month of cruel consumption, Jiannu left. Now less than half of the 14 troops are unknowingly left, and only less than 6 troops can stand in front of him and continue to accept his command, and the [-] people who built slaves to run rampant all over the world There are more than [-] elite cavalry, and now there are only less than [-] left.What made Huang Taiji even more heartbroken was that most of the remaining troops were staggering, their eyes glazed over, and even when they lined up, there were countless soldiers weeping, their morale was so low, it was simply It's come to an end.

There was not even a car for viewing the city, and there were no suitable hills and mountains. Fan Wencheng could only lead his soldiers to resist a wooden plank, and let Huang Taiji stand on their shoulders and talk.But Huang Taiji stepped on the back of his own soldiers and stood on the shoulders of Fan Wencheng and other servants, before he opened his mouth, tears were already falling, and the words that he had planned to inspire people and morale, seemed to be choked by lead at this moment.After a long time, Huang Taiji said with sobs as loud as possible: "Soldiers, the current situation is very bad. In front of us, there are nearly [-] barbarian troops blocking our way home. There are nearly [-] barbarian troops approaching, and the fastest barbarian army is less than ten miles away from us."

The slave building team composed of more than 5000 soldiers was silent, only Huang Taiji's trembling and choked voice echoed, "As the second Da Jin Khan, I am directly responsible for the successive fiascos these days. The ancient tricks of the barbarians brought you into this deadly place, causing countless heroic soldiers of the Great Gold to be killed by the barbarians, massacred by the barbarians, and surrounded by the barbarians... I don't want to shirk responsibility, I don't want to say great truths, and I don't want to pull I want you to be buried with me. I just want to tell you that you, like me, have no choice but to take up the sword and fight to the death. Because your wives, children and old parents are still waiting in Liaodong. Let you go home, in order not to let them cry, not let them cry, and not let them be killed by the barbarian soldiers, pick up the knife with me, and break through the barbarian's block..., go home!"

At this point, Huang Taiji was sobbing. Fan Wencheng, who used his right shoulder to support Huang Taiji's plank, was the first to raise his broken left arm, and shouted: "Go home!"

"Go home!" Babuhai, Lai Mubu, Du Du and Huang Taiji's bodyguards shouted rhythmically together, "Go home! Go home! Go home! Go home...!" Infected, countless Jiannu generals and soldiers shouted, "Go home! Go home! Go home...!" More and more Jiannu soldiers followed the shout, and later, the entire Jiannu team echoed. Rhythm cries, "Go home! Go home! Go home! Go home! Go home...!"

Seeing the morale of the army recovering, Huang Taiji also had a glimmer of hope in his heart. He waved his hand to stop the shouting of the soldiers. After the sound of slogans completely stopped, Huang Taiji ordered: "Du Du, I order you to lead the army with the bordered white flag. , All the cavalry from the Zhenglan Banner and Xianghuang Banner go to the rear to intercept the barbarians' pursuit. Lai Mubu, you take [-] infantry to guard the left flank, and intercept the barbarian army that may come from Baitai Mountain. Babuhai, take [-] infantry The army is the vanguard, and the rest of the army is under my direct command, work together, storm the barbarian blocking position, break out of the encirclement, and go home!"

"Go home! Go home! Go home!" Amid the rhythmic slogans, the remaining [-] Jiannu soldiers quickly adjusted their ranks. Du Du led the remaining elite cavalry to defend the rear, and Lai Mubu defended. On the left wing, Babuhai stood at the forefront without hesitation, and Huang Taiji took command from the center.After a while, the last ten cowhide drums that were lost during the escape sounded, and Babuhai led five thousand infantrymen and began to slowly approach the blocking position of the Ming army, with heavy steps, but the formation was extremely neat.In front of them, Wu Sangui led [-] soldiers of the Slaughter Army borrowed from the Ji Cavalry, and they were already on the battlefield. Datong Governor Sun Chuanting, who was personally appointed by Master Zhang as the commander-in-chief of the northern line, led eight Thousands of Qin soldiers were in the central army, Zhao Ledun led [-] slaughtering slave troops as a reserve team, Tianjin governor Bi Ziyan and Denglai governor Sun Yuanhua also came to the front line in person, led the navy infantry to guard the two wings, and waited for the construction with bated breath. The dying blow of the slave army.

"Go home!" When the Jiannu vanguard approached the position for three hundred steps, Babuhai, the No. 11 son of Nuerhachi, raised his saber, roared with a shield and chest protection, and was the first to rush to the Ming army's position. Five thousand Jiannu The same is true for infantry, shouting the slogan "Go home" and charging desperately.Almost at the same time, Wu Sangui waved the flag, and the five hundred soldiers of the slave slaughter army opened fire in unison, then quickly retreated to reload, and replaced the second team of five hundred soldiers to shoot, and then the third team stepped forward to shoot, and the sound of gunfire was loud. , blood spattered in the Jiannu team, and the soldiers kept falling, but the Jiannu infantry continued to charge, quickly closing the distance to the Ming army's position.When Jiannu rushed to within [-] steps, Wu Sangui waved the flag, and the soldiers of the slave slaughtering army gathered their guns and stabbed them, raised them neatly, and stared firmly at the Jiannu infantry rushing towards him.Finally, when the first Jiannu soldier rushed under the earth wall and jumped up, the first army thorn fell down hard, hitting the Jiannu infantry in the eye socket, and blood spattered...

"Go home!" Amidst the resounding slogans, the Jiannu infantry, like moths to a flame, pounced on the Ming army's position without hesitation, or jumped up and swung their knives to slash the legs of the Ming army soldiers on the wall, or stepped on the ground. The corpses of the soldiers from the Chinese army jumped onto the wall, and competed with the Ming army for the position of the sacks and the wall. The body of a slave soldier who was half as tall as a man was buried...

"Go home!" Amidst the new shouts, another group of Jiannu infantry charged up, stepped on the corpses or wounded soldiers of the self-soldiers, rushed to the wall, and started a bloody battle with the Ming army.And behind the wall, the Franji cannons of the Ming army also began to bombard the sky. Stones and iron blocks drew countless deadly parabolas in the sky, and fell on the heads of Jiannu's follow-up army, effectively suppressing Jiannu's continued input... ………

"Go home! Go home—!" With more and more corpses in front of the wall, Jiannu's cavalry began to enter the battlefield, stepping on the road to the wall paved by the corpses of our own soldiers, and launched the most aggressive attack on the Ming army's position. Violent attack.While the flag was being waved, three thousand Datong Qin soldiers, known as the most tenacious of the Ming army, rushed up the wall and joined the battlefield, holding long spears and steel knives to start a bloody battle with the Jiannu cavalry.Soon, the fortifications on the front of the official road turned into an extremely cruel Shura battlefield. Tens of thousands of soldiers from both sides chanted their respective slogans and swung their weapons desperately to fight the enemy to the death. The fallen heads and limbs rolled around, and the corpses of the soldiers pierced by spears and bayonets kept falling, and were trampled into meat paste by human feet and horseshoes. Biting each other's throats and rolling on the ground, countless people died together.

"Go home! Go home! Go home!" Amidst the passionate roar, Huang Taiji, who was watching the battlefield nervously, had already bit his lips to the point of bleeding, and there was only one thought in his heart, "Again Rush! Rush again! Rush up again and stalk the main force of the Manzi to death, forcing the Manzi to put the reserve team into the frontal battlefield, and then I can personally lead the army to attack the Manzi's flanks. Evil battles are definitely not acceptable! As long as I break through this line of defense,...humph!"

Perhaps God heard Huang Taiji's selfish snort in his heart, and revenge soon came under anger. Yuan Chonghuan next to him was the first to scream: "Khan, the white soldiers are coming! They are pressing towards our left wing!" Huang Taiji yelled angrily: "What are you afraid of? The left wing is supported by Lai Mubu!" Then Yuan Chonghuan yelled again: "Khan, it's not good, the main force of the barbarians has caught up!"

"What's the hurry? Behind..." Huang Taiji wanted to say that there was Du Du's army behind him, but suddenly he remembered that Du Du's troops were insufficient, and he would never be able to get the slightest advantage in front of the main force of the Ming army who had an absolute advantage in strength. , quickly look back.At a glance, Huang Taiji's face turned pale. On the south side of the official road, the banner of the Governor General of the Seven Provinces of Young Master Zhang was already fluttering in the wind three or four miles away in the wind and snow. Team after team of the Ming army chanted loudly. Singing the military song "Serving the country with loyalty", the overwhelming tide is rushing towards the self-army.Hearing this song, and seeing the big banner of Young Master Zhang representing Undefeated, the entire Jiannu army felt a feeling of weakness in their legs, while the Ming army in the north was full of cheers and morale was high.

"It's over! This battle must be fought!" Huang Taiji groaned in despair in his heart.And on his left and right, Fan Wencheng and Yuan Chonghuan had their jaws trembling and collided up and down. At the same time, a thought arose in their hearts, "This time, do we still have a chance to escape? With nowhere to go, if we catch Huang Taiji Dedicated to Zhang Haogu, will he spare us?"

"Pass down the order." After observing the situation on the battlefield indifferently with a telescope, Young Master Zhang calmly ordered: "Ma Shilong led an army of [-] cavalry to reinforce the white soldiers, and launched an attack on Jiannu's right wing; A Min led the Jurchen troops to outflank Jiannu On the left wing, restrain Jiannu's left wing to cover our infantry. Let old general Zhang Ling lead his [-] crossbowmen and [-] infantry to detour to the left and rush to the northern front to strengthen the frontal defense. Man Gui, Cao Bianjiao, Wu Liuqi, He Ren Long, each lead their own troops to charge forward and undertake the task of annihilating the main force of the enemy."

At this point in the war, Young Master Zhang, who has been paying great attention to conserving his strength in this decisive battle in Liaodong, no longer needs to be stingy with his troops. The remnants of the slaves killed all of them.

(Note: I apologize to my friends, because of carelessness, Pure Wolf made a mistake in Chapter 360, and drove the leading troops mentioned in the conversation between Nuerhachi and his son to the Tashan battlefield to contain the Ming army's plan to block the army The slave general was written as Tabai, but in that chapter Tabai appeared again in Ningyuan City, which was a huge bug. Now it has been corrected to say that the slave generals who rushed to the Tashan position ahead of time were brothers Babuhai and Laimbu. This is I apologize for the mistake of Pure Wolf.)
