Chapter 34 Fierce Battle at Yongding Gate

Li Yunya took both Sun Chengzong and Yuan Chonghuan to his home, laid out a map in the room overnight, and made a plan to retreat from the enemy.

He asked Sun Chengzong first, and Sun Chengzong was afraid that he would be young and aggressive, and he was unwilling to steal the limelight, so he only talked about unimportant things.

Yuan Chonghuan sat there silently, his mood was very complicated. When he heard that a monster favored by the emperor had formed a very powerful army, Yuan Chonghuan was very upset. After he asked about the situation of the military parade that day, he was even more Disdain, just say it's a show, for the emperor to watch and play, who would have thought that today he could repel the fierce charge of the [-] Banners in the field, and he only paid a very small casualty.

Earlier in the palace, the emperor asked him why he wanted to kill Mao Wenlong, and why the enemy was able to drive in from the front line. This life is over. He has also heard about the series of methods the young emperor has used since he took office. He can feel the emperor's disappointment and anger towards him, but he did not expect the emperor to kill him. After all, he has guarded Liaodong for the country all these years. , The bloody battle with Jiannu these few days can be regarded as a great contribution.

He thought that the emperor would turn himself into a white body in the future, retire and return to his hometown in advance, and thought of the Guanning cavalry he had built with his own hands, and the Ningyuan and Jinzhou cities he had built by himself, he was quite reluctant.

Li Yunya didn't care about him, and only discussed with Sun Chengzong. After studying until midnight, he prepared three contingency plans.

The next morning, Li Yunya announced the establishment of the General Staff Department. He was the chief of the general staff, Sun Chengzong was the deputy chief of staff, and Yuan Chonghuan was the staff.

Zu Dashou was frightened by Zhu Youjian. He was afraid that one day he would be leading troops to fight. He desperately came back to the city for a day, but he was imprisoned in a blink of an eye. He hesitated whether to take Guanning cavalry back to Liaodong. At the critical moment, news came from the city that Yuan Chonghuan had been released, and what kind of staff did he become?Zu Dashou felt a little relieved, and temporarily gave up the idea of ​​fleeing.

According to the list of troops from various ministries, Li Yunya classified the troops into different categories, putting those who could fight together and those who couldn't fight together. Finally, he came to the conclusion that there were less than 3000 troops who could really fight with Jiannu. There are more than [-], but only in the early [-]s.

In the list of King Qin's generals, he saw several familiar names, one of which caught his eye the most was Lu Xiangsheng, the magistrate of the Daming Mansion. To deal with the rogues, he recruited more than [-] people to come to Beijing to serve as the king this time.

Although Lu Xiangsheng is a civil servant, he has superb martial arts skills. The big knife he uses to practice kung fu weighs more than 100 catties, and the sword he usually uses to kill people is also several tens of catties. When fighting, he takes the lead and rushes to the front. !

Li Yunya immediately transferred him into the city and became a staff officer like Yuan Chonghuan. Lu Xiangsheng was under 30 years old this year, with a gentle face and a burly body. .

Soon, Huang Taiji launched another attack, this time directly hitting the main gate of the outer city - Yongding Gate. He was eager to attack the city. Not only could he snatch better and more gold, silver and jewels, but he could also severely hit the city. The morale of the Ming Dynasty, since the death of Nurhachi in the past two years, he has attacked Ning Jin several times and was repulsed by Yuan Chonghuan. There are many complaints behind the backs of the banners. He wants to use this brilliant victory to completely establish his leadership Status, all those who dare to disobey themselves will die!

Li Yunya went out of the city to fight in person, Zhu Youjian was unhappy because he fished out Yuan Chonghuan privately, so he deliberately ignored him and didn't summon him for a few days. When he heard that Li Yunya was out of the city, he was so surprised that the teacups in his hand fell to the ground, so he replaced them immediately Clothes, took the black sword, and let Jin Yiwei escort him out of the city. The eunuch Gao Qiqian knelt on the ground to stop him: "Your Majesty, you can't do it! The thieves are so powerful..."

Eunuch Gao was kicked away by Zhu Youjian who was eager to go out before finishing his sentence: "If Jiannu really invaded the imperial city, what can I do if I hide here? The Ministry of War ordered me to go to the city gate again. Beat the drums and cheer for the soldiers in person!"

Huang Taiji's troops moved to Yongding Gate, and Li Yunya also arranged the team outside Yongding Gate. There were still 72 artillery pieces in the center, with musketeers and archers in the gaps, mortars behind them, and infantry on both sides of the artillery positions. , Spears, knives and shields formed a hedgehog wall, behind were archers, and on both sides were cavalry, he gathered all the cavalry together, there were more than [-] people, distributed on the two wings, some were led by Zu Dashou, and some were led by Lu Xiangsheng Of course, this does not include the Fourth Regiment of his new army, the thousand Musketeers are still released to fight guerrillas outside.

The Eight Banners Army felt dizzy when they saw the artillery arranged at the main entrance, and the three-meter-long barrels pointed straight at them.

Although this group of very unusual green-clothed Ming troops had only fought twice, the first time 1 horses were beaten to death, and the leader Azig was covered in wounds. Although he had woken up, his face was covered with scars. The wound on the stomach still has pus, even if he can save his life, it will be difficult to lead the army to fight in the future.The second time was just yesterday when the eldest prince Hauge led [-] cavalry into the battle, and was beaten even worse. The dense artillery fire and bullets left them with a terrifying nightmare. In Fan Wencheng's words, it is called the artillery fire falling like The rain and the blunderbusses are intertwined into a net, which cannot be resisted by flesh and blood!

Fan Wencheng is the head of Huang Taiji's civil servants and the number one traitor. These days he has been trying his best to persuade Huang Taiji to retreat. This time he entered the customs and planned to grab a big one. Now he has grabbed enough It's time to go back, otherwise, if the army goes deep alone, it may fall into a disadvantageous situation after a long time, but Huang Taiji stubbornly wants to try again. They have seen many kinds of firearms of the Ming army. They are not afraid of heavy weapons as powerful as the red cannons. Now the firearms of the green army are just faster to load and more powerful, but they are not as good as the red cannons. The Eight Banners Warriors will never be so Some people scare away.

Huang Taiji divided the army into three parts, sent Amin to lead the left army to attack Lu Xiangsheng's department, sent Mang Gurtai to lead the right army to attack Zu Dashou's department, and personally commanded the Chinese army to attack Li Yunya's department. He told his generals: "The Ming army's weapons are far away. Fighting is not good for close combat, as long as you can rush in front of the opponent, killing them is like killing chickens!" The Manmeng soldiers screamed strangely, roared in unison, and began to charge.

The first thing to fire was the defensive cannon on the top of the city wall. The large iron balls were shot out by the gunpowder force, smashed into the enemy's ranks, and smashed the soldiers and horses to pieces, leaving blood red streaks.

The rate of fire of this kind of defensive cannon is very slow. After one shot, it needs to cool down with water, clean the barrel, refill the ammunition and a series of procedures. The Eight Banners Army is used to it. They don't care how many people die, and continue to charge forward.

The second attack to meet them is the artillery of the new army. These cannons are relatively thin and long. With an order, 72 flames were spewed out at the same time, and the shells shot flat, like big iron chisels, ruthlessly digging into the enemy's ranks, causing a large amount of blood rain in the places they passed, and then the entire cast iron warhead disintegrated and exploded into pieces. A fireball, the steel balls and shrapnel inside flew around, causing ghosts and wolves to howl.

The Eight Banners Army let out a louder roar, leaned on their horses, beat the horse hard, and accelerated their charge, just like what Huang Taiji said, as long as they rushed in front of the opponent, the group of unarmored green-clothed soldiers would all be waiting one by one. Lamb to slaughter!

Then they rushed to the range of the mortar attack, and fish-shaped shells with tails fell from the top of their heads like hailstones, exploding everywhere, completely deafening their ears, buzzing I can't hear anything, and my eyes are covered by choking smoke. I feel that the whole world is moving away from me. There are companions around me whose faces are blown up, and they fall to the ground with their mouths wide open, and they are trampled by horseshoes behind them. Turned into blood sauce, but they had no choice but to continue to charge forward.

When they rushed out of the thick smoke and reached the front where they could see the hideous group of green-clothed soldiers, the sound of dense firecrackers came to mind, crackling, like popping beans, and the cavalrymen who rushed over with great difficulty fell down in a row , Even people and horses were beaten to death.

The position in front of the green army is like a death zone marked by the king of Hades. As long as the brave Manchu and Mongolian warriors rush over, their lives will be taken away immediately, and the lives of more than 4000 Manchurian athletes will be taken away soon!

Huang Taiji was anxious and angry: "Send the order, rush to me! You must rush to the other party for me, and cut off the head of the white horse general, and I will take it back to Liaodong!"

The Central Army of the Eight Banners Army continued to launch a more violent charge, and the left and right armies also intensified their efforts. Amin was Nurhachi's second son, and Mang Gurtai was Nurhachi's fifth son. Known as the Four Great Baylors, they have a very high status, and their subordinates are all the most elite of the Eight Banners of Manchuria and Mongolia. Except for the limited Guanning cavalry who can compete with them, the Liaodong Army can barely resist them. Others such as The King Qin army from the Beijing camp and from all over the place was basically vulnerable. Even with the support of the artillery fire on the rear wall, they were still killed and injured.The Eight Banners Army is extremely brave. They are as flexible on horseback as if they were on flat ground. They can pull a strong bow with both hands and shoot arrows, and wield maces and machetes. They are invincible. Officials eat empty wages and drink soldiers' blood. When encountering encounters, they are basically destroyed at the touch of a finger.

Soon, the infantry on the left began to be unable to hold back, and retreated steadily, but there was no way to retreat, because the city wall was behind them, and they were almost pierced by Dorgon and Duoduo's Zhengbai Banner Army. Li Yunya immediately fell [-] A mortar went over and fired at the place where the cavalry gathered. The Zhengbai Banner Army was constantly charging forward, slaughtering the Ming army in front of them like killing pigs and sheep. Man Gui, who commanded the infantry of the Ming army on the left, slashed and slashed the enemies in front of him with all his strength, and kept boosting morale. Finally, he stabilized his position and blocked the gap that was about to be defeated.
