Chapter 516: Huang Taiji was dizzy
Chapter 516: Huang Taiji was dizzy
Under the artillery bombardment of the Tiger Army, the Tartars in the center left city,.
For the tartars, such a taste is too uncomfortable. It is simply unprecedented to be pressed and beaten by the enemy like this. In the past ten years, the Dajin Army has been invincible, and it has not been a long time since it has tried the taste of being passively beaten. In the past, it was the Dajin Army that pressed the Ming Army to fight and ravaged each other to their heart's content. Unexpectedly, feng shui took turns, and now it was their turn to suffer.
There was a white-armored soldier with a Tartar, who really couldn't bear such a blow, and felt very aggrieved, and wanted to go up to the city to breathe. At the same time, he wanted to boost the morale of his companions, so he stood up bravely and stood on top of the city. He wanted to pee under the city as a way to show his contempt for the Huben Navy: if there is a kind, he will come up and fight with Lao Tzu hand-to-hand, just lying on the sea and firing cannons, what's the point?
However, just as he took off his pants, a chain whizzed over and crossed his waist. After the chains flew by, the Tartars were still Tartars, and the white-armored soldiers were still white-armored soldiers, as if nothing had happened. Even, the hands of the white armor soldiers still have inertial movements. However, after a moment, his upper body suddenly leaned slowly, slowly leaned back, and then suddenly fell backwards.
"Poof!"
The sky-high blood arrows flew up, scattering into large patches of blood, staining the surrounding walls red. Immediately, the upper body of the Tartar fell from the city and fell directly into meat sauce. However, the lower half of his body still stands on the city wall. Strangely, from then on, the shells of the Tiger Army's navy, not even the marbles of grape bullets, continued to hit his lower body.
"Follow me!"
Another Tartar white-armored soldier, seeing the death of his companion, was furious, and immediately stood up and shouted to his subordinates to go out and fight the Tiger Ben army to the death. The military orders of the Tartars were very strict, and they were driven by this white-armored soldier, and the other dozen or so Tartars had to take up their weapons and follow behind the white-armored soldier, trying to go up the city wall.
"Whoa!"
Suddenly, a flurry of grape marbles poured in.
The white-armored soldier of the Tartar suddenly rolled down from the city with a scream. The tartars beside him were also hit by marbles and fell directly from the city. Without waiting for the other tartars to save, a dense stream of marbles fell, sweeping away the tartars on the city. There was a total of one white-armored soldier, two red-armored soldiers, and fifteen ordinary tartars, all of whom fell from the city, and they did not know whether they were alive or dead.
Fortunately, the marbles of the grape bullet are somewhat inertial and cannot directly attack the back of the city wall, otherwise, the continuous marbles fall, and these injured tartars will all die. Even so, occasionally marbles were bounced back, and quite a few tartars were injured. Fortunately, the marbles that were bounced back did not have much strength, and even if they were hit, they would not be fatal.
The other Tartars, seeing the tragic situation of these two white-armored soldiers, couldn't help but be silent, and they didn't dare to go up again. Acting strong in front of the cannon, isn't this looking for death? Nurhachi, who founded the Dajin Kingdom, died under the cannons, not to mention others?
As a result, the entire Zhongzuo City suddenly became very quiet, as if there were no more Tartars in it. Perhaps, none of the Tartars realized that their mentality at this time had changed radically. In the past, when they were attacked by the Ming army, it was impossible for them to endure the feeling of being beaten like this, and they would definitely fight back desperately.
But now, under the attack of the Tiger Army, they have become accustomed to the taste of being beaten. As long as the shelling of the Tiger Army does not stop, they will definitely not go out. In the face of the rain of bullets from the Tiger Army, their only thought was to save their lives first. Perhaps, it was the three words of the Tiger Benjun that gave them heavy pressure and made their mentality change dramatically.
"Beat you up!"
"See how long you can endure!"
On the ghostly Cangshan boat, as the captain, he had a sinister smile on his face.
Such a fight is so comfortable that it is completely one-sided. It's a pity that there were no bystanders. If a bystander sees this scene and sees that the Tartar is being pressed and beaten by the Tiger Army, there is no chance to fight back at all, I don't know how relieved I will be! When will the Ming Dynasty be able to press the Tartars to fight? I've always been pressed and beaten by Tartars! In addition to the Tiger Army, who can press the Tartars to fight? It feels good to press the tartar and hit it!
"Boom!"
After three hours of bombardment, the city wall near the south gate of Zhongzuo Castle finally collapsed. The Tartars hiding behind the city walls were also crushed to death by the collapsed masonry and stones, and many more were injured. The other Tartars hurriedly fled in all directions, looking for other concealment.
"Shoot at close range!"
"Grape bombs!"
"Launch!"
Li Jicheng shouted without hesitation.
The walls of the city were smashed, and the Tartars of the whole city had no place to hide, and grapeshotfire could just cover them. As long as the tartar is hit by the falling marbles, the military power of the Dajin Kingdom will be weakened by one point. Sooner or later, the Dajin Kingdom will collapse.
"Poof!"
"Poof!"
"Poof!
Sure enough, a series of grape bombs fell, knocking over the panicked tartars on the street.
The best way to avoid these dense marbles is, of course, to get out of range of the cannon and stay out of the way. As long as they are out of range of the Wyvern Cannon, the marbles cannot hurt them. However, the Tartars could not retreat. Because, they must defend the center and left city. The leader of the Tartars believed that after the fierce artillery bombardment, the Tiger Army would definitely take the city of Zhongzuo. At this time, the Tartars must not retreat. They must hold out until reinforcements arrive in the city of Golden State.
"Block!"
"Block!"
"Block!"
The leader of the Tartars kept shouting for his men to return to their combat posts. The military law of the Tartars is still very strict. At the shouts of the leader, the other Tartars had to continue back to the breach. They were armed and ready to fight back against the landing of the Tiger Army. As a result, a large number of grape shells fell on the Tiger Army, causing a large number of casualties to the Tartars.
Zhang Zhun raised the clairvoyant mirror, carefully observed the tartar near the gap, and then smiled coldly. These Tartars are indeed commendable in courage. However, they still lack a bit of flexibility. They actually want to hold the gap under the bombardment of grapeshot? Isn't this a death for nothing? Since the Tartars voluntarily sent them to death, the Tiger Ben Army of course pushed the boat down the river and fully fulfilled their wishes.
"Tom!"
"Tom!"
"Tom!"
All the cannons of the Tiger Ben warships were desperately throwing grapefruit bullets near the gap in the city wall. In order to enhance the power of the marbles, Akimiko and other captains even moved the Cangshan ship to the sea less than 100 meters away from Nakazuo Castle. The grape bullet shot in this way carries a huge kinetic energy, and the power is quite large, even the white-armored soldiers of the Tartars cannot defend against it.
Soon, the tartar that appeared inside the clairvoyant mirror was completely covered with marbles. A batch of tartars came up, and a batch was covered. Another batch came up, and another batch was covered. They are like emotionless puppets, blindly trying to come up and plug the gap, but they never think that their behavior is not only futile, but even ridiculous in the eyes of outsiders.
Of course, Zhang Zhun didn't mean to laugh at them. It is true that the Tartars are a little stupid and a little brainless, but no one can deny that they do not lack courage. If the officers and soldiers of the Ming army had such courage to die, the Tartars would not have had a chance to rise at all. Sometimes, the Han people are just too smart, too concerned about gains and losses, and between gains and losses, they lack a lot of blood.
"My lord, do you want to keep firing?" Li Jicheng came up to ask for instructions.
"Stop shooting, almost." Zhang Zhun said casually.
Li Jicheng hung out the flag, and the sound of the cannon gradually stopped.
At this time, in the center and left city, there were no standing tartars at all. However, Zhang Zhun did not know how many casualties the Tartars had. Since the walls blocked most of the view, he could not judge the specific casualties of the Tartars. However, judging from the crazy upward surge of the Tartars just now, the losses of the Tartars should not be less.
"Let's go to Weihaiwei!"
Zhang Zhun put down the clairvoyant mirror and said slowly.
"Understood!"
Li Jicheng gave the order, and the fleet immediately turned around and headed southeast, heading for Weihaiwei Port.
At this point, all of Zhang Zhun's military operations on the eastern coast of Liaodong came to an end. After he attacked and disturbed here unscrupulously, he patted his ass and went to Weihaiwei to continue his inspection. What was left for the Tartars was a mess with a lot of headaches.
Zhang Zhun didn't care about what kind of reaction the Tartar would have, and he wasn't going to stay here to observe the Tartar's reaction. Anyway, the more fierce the Tartars' reaction, the more the Tiger Army liked it. It would be better if the Tartars suddenly lost their minds, made the wrong decision, and launched a strong attack in the direction of Shanhaiguan. If you bypass the Great Wall and go south, the Tiger Ben army will also follow.
In fact, the Tartar who received the information was indeed mad.
After Dorgon and Duoduo were trapped, the person in charge of the defense of Jinzhouwei and Fuzhou was the Seventh Bel Abatai of the Tartars. Abatai's mother came from a humble background and had no status in Nurhachi's harem. After Abatai was born, he naturally did not receive much care from Nurhachi. Compared to Azig, Dorgon, and Duoduo, Abatai is not at all of a level. However, Abatai worked hard and never felt inferior. From the age of fourteen, he began to go to the battlefield to accumulate military exploits for himself. So far, his feats have been quite good.
In the power struggle within the Dajin Kingdom, both Huang Taiji and Dolgon were more acceptable to Abatai. Abatai was a pure warrior who was not interested in politics and did not participate in the rivalry between Emperor Taiji and Dorgon. During the siege of the Daling River, Abatai was once the number one general of Huang Taiji. When the Tartars entered the Kou for the second time, Abatai cooperated with Azig to conquer Lingqiu.
"What did you say?"
"The Tiger Army has come ashore?"
After receiving the report from his subordinates, Abatai immediately felt that the situation was serious, and hurriedly sent someone to report to Huang Taiji, and at the same time ordered all the Tartars under his command, as well as the rebels and servant troops, to enter a state of battle. The Tiger Ben Army actually landed in Liaodong, which is a great event. Dajin Guo finally borrowed Yuan Chonghuan's hand to get rid of Mao Wenlong, and there must be another Mao Wenlong, let alone a person who is more powerful than Mao Wenlong.
"What?"
"The Tiger Army landed in Jinzhouwei?"
Huang Taiji was also taken aback when he received Abatai's report.
This surprise is not trivial, it is equivalent to the entire Dajin Kingdom, which is really taken aback. The speed of the Tiger Army's advancement is too fast, right? Dengzhou City has not yet been finally captured, so he is actually thinking about counterattacking Liaodong? Zhang Zhun: Do you really think Liaodong is Shandong? Can you go wild here?
After thinking for a while, Huang Taiji quickly ordered the main forces of the Blue Banner and the Yellow Banner to immediately advance in the direction of Jinzhouwei to reinforce Abatai. He himself commanded the Zhenghuang Banner and commanded in Shenyang. At the same time, Huang Taiji also ordered to send people to immediately remind the red flag and inlaid red flag on the Jinzhou front, pay attention to the movement of the Jinzhou front, and prevent the Ming army from cooperating with the Huben army to counterattack Liaodong.
As a result, the whole of Liaodong shook again. The Han people in Liaodong, seeing a large number of Tartar cavalry, drove to the south one after another, as if something big had happened, and the undercurrent began to surge quietly. At first, I thought that the Tartar cavalry was going to rescue Dengzhou City, but later I learned that it was the Tiger Ben Army who came ashore. That's great news.
At the same time, there was news that the landing Tiger Army had killed a large number of Tartars, and even more had been wounded. From the southern coast, the Tartars used flatbed trucks to pull the wounded to Shenyang, and they did not finish pulling for several days. Many injured Tartars died on the way to Shenyang, or shortly after arriving in Shenyang.
It's another time of rumors, and there's everything to say. Among them, the most shocking thing is that the Ming army is going to counterattack Liaodong. Many Han people, who were already numb to their minds, knew this news. Their numb nerves, as if they had been deeply stimulated, suddenly became quietly active again.
All kinds of rumors made Tartar very nervous and had to deal with them carefully. Whether it is Shenyang, or Liaoyang, or the Jinzhou front, the Tartars have all strengthened their vigilance. Of course, the Han Chinese are the object of their intense surveillance, and the slightest disturbance will be severely suppressed.
This tense atmosphere is particularly evident in the city of Deli and Yingcheng in southeastern Liaoning. After Abatai was ordered to guard Fuzhou Wei and Jinzhou Wei, he was not stationed in the two acropolis, but in Deliying City. The city was built at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and the Ming Kingdom once destroyed it. But Abatai liked the name and sent it renovated, making it his own tent.
"Is the number you quoted true?"
In the Golden Tent in Deliying City, Abatai listened to the report from his heart, and his face was full of consternation. This number, which was so far from his estimate that he couldn't believe it.
"Lord Belle, it's true. The minions have counted them over and over again, removing any suspicious ingredients. In the death number, every number has a corpse. If there were no corpses, they would not have been counted. At the moment, this number is known only to a very small number of people. ”
He whispered under his heart.
"Be careful to keep the numbers confidential and not let anyone else know the exact numbers. If anyone asked, they would say that there were two or three hundred dead and wounded, and there was no major problem. The casualties of the Tiger Army are several times that of ours. In addition, competent personnel were dispatched to report accurate figures to the Great Khan immediately. ”
Abatai frowned and cautiously commanded.
"Understood!"
He said yes and turned away.
After his heart left, Abatai's mood became more and more agitated, and he kept pacing back and forth in the golden tent, clenching his fists several times during the process. The casualty figures reported by his subordinates surprised and annoyed Abatai. Such a casualty figure was like a bolt from the blue, and it smashed the head of Dajin Kingdom. Even if you don't get stoned to death, you have to be knocked unconscious.
More than 120 people were killed in battle on Changsheng Island, more than 330 people were killed in Jinzhouwei, and more than 380 people were killed in Zhongzuo City. All the numbers add up, close to a thousand. This is still the number of people killed in battle, and the number of wounded is even more, definitely not less than a thousand. In addition, there is a very special figure, which is the number of missing persons. The number of missing people turned out to be more than 200. In other words, the Tiger Ben army attacked the coast of Liaodong this time, causing more than 2,000 casualties to the Tartars.
Such a shocking number simply made Abatai restless, and at the same time felt deep fear and deep grievance. If such news spreads, I'm afraid the entire Dajin Kingdom will be a rumor. The Dajin Kingdom had just lost more than 4,000 people in Huangxian County, and more than 2,000 people were besieged in Dengzhou City, and now it has lost another 2,000 people. All the losses added up to nearly 10,000 people.
10,000 losses! No matter from which point of view, it is a fatal blow to the Dajin Kingdom. These losses are not the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, not the old and the young, women and children, they are all warriors who can fight well! In the entire Dajin Kingdom, the warriors who can fight well are all combined, and there are not many 10,000 people. Now, in less than two months, 10,000 people have been lost, how can you accept your name Huang Taiji?
"What?"
"Two thousand casualties?"
Sure enough, Huang Taiji received the casualty figures sent by Abatai, and he felt a little dizzy on the spot. Abatai's guess was not wrong, Huang Taiji was indeed shocked by this casualty figure. Afterwards, Huang Taiji felt a deep anger again, as if there was a boundless battle intent burning.
As the Great Khan of the Dajin Kingdom, Huang Taiji is not very sensitive to the general casualty figures. Because, behind the casualty figures of the Tartars, there is often abundant wealth. The life of a Tartar is often exchanged for staggering wealth, or the lives of several or even dozens of opponents. There are fruitful results, and the life of the Tartars, Huang Taiji naturally does not care very much.
