Chapter 1032: Fierce Battle Deshengmen

The capital under the early morning sun looks particularly majestic, like a giant standing on the land of China. Bands of cavalry marched towards the ancient city, trying to take down the former giant.

Huang Taiji came to the city of Jingshi to feel the huge size of the Beijing Division, and the nearly 50,000 cavalry he brought was unable to surround the entire Ming Jingshi.

The Deshengmen and Guangqumen of the Jingshi were stationed with Man Gui and Yuan Chonghuan respectively, and although the Guanning cavalry was weaker in combat, they numbered tens of thousands.

On the contrary, there were only a few thousand people in Man Gui and Hou Shilu of Deshengmen, and the simple arithmetic problem made Huang Taiji make a choice.

What made Huang Taiji make up his mind to attack Deshengmen was also a fierce general named Man Gui, and Jin Guo would never allow the appearance of a second Zhang Dou.

In this battle, the Mangui tribe must be completely annihilated, so that the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty can no longer afford the courage to compete with the Jurchens.

Huang Taiji immediately ordered Mang Gurtai to lead 1,000 armor soldiers and 2,000 Mongol cavalry to attack the Guanning cavalry at Guangqumen, while he himself led the rest of his men and horses to attack Deshengmen.

When the Jurchen armor soldiers and the Mongol cavalry came to the Desheng Gate, Huang Taiji was a little surprised.

Man Gui did not retreat into the city as he imagined, taking advantage of the tall walls of the capital division to passively defend.

Instead, he took the initiative to attack and lined up outside the city, such a man gui made Huang Taiji even more fearful, and such a fierce general must be eliminated, even if he paid some price, Huang Taiji did not hesitate.

Man Gui took the initiative to go out of the city and fought behind the city, allowing the Jurchens to capture a large number of Han people, and the plan to drive the Han people to fill the river failed.

Since the Ming army dared to go out of the city for a decisive battle, there was nothing to prepare, so Huang Taiji directly ordered an attack.

Drums and trumpets sounded one after another, and the Mongol cavalry and Jurchen armor soldiers slowly moved towards the Desheng Gate.

In this battle, Huang Taiji did not send Mongolian cavalry to test first as usual, but directly sent his own elites.

His Zhenghuang banner stormed the front of Deshengmen, Yue Tuo led the red flag to attack the left flank of Deshengmen, and the Mongolian cavalry Burgatu attacked the right flank of Deshengmen.

When the war drums sounded, the Jurchen armor soldiers surged up like a tide.

On the side of the Ming army, Hou Shilu was still the first to meet the enemy, and more than 2,000 cavalry collided with several times the enemy, and countless people fell off their horses in an instant.

Although the Xuanfu cavalry who fought to the death tried their best, they were quickly defeated.

The disparity in strength is too great, but fortunately, the artillery at the head of the capital city is not vegetarian, and all kinds of artillery fire in turn, making the Jurchen armored soldiers turn their backs.

Seeing that Hou Shilu was defeated by the Jurchen armor soldiers, Man Gui once again led his cavalry to kill him.

His presence eased the precarious situation somewhat, and the Jurchens, who were superior in numbers, would have overwhelmed him had it not been for the artillery and arrows on the city's head.

There was also a fierce battle outside the Guangqu Gate, but here the situation was quite the opposite. It was the Jurchen side that was small in number, and Mang Gurtai ordered his armor soldiers to rush towards the Guanning cavalry with a gloomy face.

Mang Gurtai received the order to attack Guangqu Gate, and a fire burned in his heart.

Huang Taiji was too much of a bully, and only gave him 3,000 men and horses.

In the face of nearly 20,000 Guanning cavalry, what can 3,000 people do? It is just that the Guanning cavalry of Guangqumen should not be used to support Deshengmen, and he, Lord Belle, was assigned such a task.

The Guanning army, which also went out of the city to face the battle, was much more confident than Deshengmen, and Zu Dashou divided the Guanning cavalry into three formations, arranged in rows.

No matter which phalanx the Jurchens attacked, the other two phalanxes would quickly come to the rescue and quickly form a trap.

Mang Gurtai was depressed to find that he only had one way left to take the initiative to attack. In case he didn't attack and let the Guanning cavalry go to support the battle of Deshengmen, Huang Taiji would have to cut off his head directly.

With 3,000 people against several times the Guan Ning army, Mang Gurtai felt helpless for a while. If these 3,000 people are considered Jurchen armor soldiers, it is fine, but there are still 2,000 Mongolian cavalry.

The Mongols did not trust the fighting power of Mang Gurtai at all, and every time they would be defeated by the Jurchens with a small number, Mang Gurtai had no hope for them at all.

In desperation, he could only let the Mongols send a thousand men to harass one phalanx of the Guanning cavalry, while he himself attacked another phalanx with the rest of his men and horses.

I hope that the Jurchen armor soldiers under my command can create miracles! As long as the Guanning cavalry can be defeated, there is still hope for victory in this battle.

Jingshi, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, ushered in the war again after more than 100 years.

The sound of drums, horns, and cannons resounded all over the world, and the screams were drowned out by these sounds, and only the corpses on the ground could tell people the cruelty of this great battle.

Time passed little by little, the steel knife in Man Gui's hand was broken and replaced with a spear, and he seemed to be tireless in leading the army to fight with the Jurchen armor soldiers.

Infected by the main general, the Datong cavalry under his command fought bravely one by one, and even withstood the attacks of the Jurchens again and again.

Just when the fighting between the two sides was at its fiercest, the artillery at the head of the city opened fire fiercely at the place where the two sides were most engaged.

The cannonballs fell in the crowd and immediately opened a flesh alley, and the scorching shells did not distinguish between Han and Jurchen people at all, and directly beat people into minced meat.

For a while, the combatants on both sides stopped their movements at the same time and looked up at the city, the smoke from the muzzle of the gun that fired had not yet dissipated, and the right gun fired again.

This time, the target was still the place where the battle between the two sides was most intense, and now the men and horses on both sides suddenly moved. They all parted to the two sides, and this kind of attack was too frightening.

Whether it was Man Gui's men and horses, or the Jurchen armor soldiers, there was a trace of anger on their faces.

Huang Taiji reluctantly ordered the withdrawal of the army, so that there was no way to fight at all. While fighting with the Akito, the soldiers had to keep an eye on the artillery above their heads, and the soldiers couldn't concentrate on the battle at all.

Looking at the retreating Jurchen armor soldiers, Man Gui breathed a sigh of relief. Although the artillery at the head of the city opened fire against the enemy, it also forced the Jurchens to retreat, which could be regarded as a favor to him anyway, and his soldiers would be wiped out if they continued to fight.

Man Gui, who collected his troops and returned to the camp, did not pay attention to Li Banghua, the commander of the Beijing division who came to apologize, and the chief general who ordered the artillery to open fire looked apologetic, but how many of them were sincere is intriguing, and the Man Gui department, who had fought fiercely for a day, was very tired, and went to rest when he returned to the barracks.

The battle of Guangqumen also ended after Huang Taiji's withdrawal, and compared with the heavy casualties on the Mangui side, the Guanning cavalry only had one hundred and ten casualties under the command of Zu Dashou, although it did not annihilate the Jurchens, but it was also a big victory.
