Life in Film and Television: Starting from the Jinshui Bridge

Chapter 310 Arrival of the Emperor Taiji Army

When Dai Shan heard the words, he also sighed, and looked at the women and children of Houjin who gradually gathered, all of whom were crying.

There was a deep worry in his eyes. He had no reason not to worry about the development of Houjin in the future. With Liu Meng around, it would not be so easy for Houjin to enter the Daming Forte.

At this time, Huang Taiji still didn't know the news that Zhenjiang had been breached. After all, he was in Shengjing City, and the news could not reach him within a few hours.

When Liu Meng had almost rested, the scouts came back to report, and as expected, Dai Shan and Yue Tuo didn't bring troops to chase him down.

Liu Meng didn't intend to withdraw just like that, he just wanted to be here to make Huang Taiji suffer a big loss.

Otherwise, the pre-buried explosives would have been a waste of effort.

As for, after the attack on Huang Taiji, can they withdraw from the Houjin territory intact.

Liu Meng wasn't worried at all. After being attacked by dynamite packs and artillery, he believed that Huang Taiji didn't dare to chase and kill him rashly even if he couldn't figure out his reality.

The next day, Huang Taiji received a report from Dai Shan and Yue Tuo, and after knowing that Zhenjiang City had been ransacked by Liu Meng.

Huang Taiji stood up from his chair angrily, and without hesitation, he ordered the troops of all banners to be summoned to hunt down and kill Liu Meng's troops, and vowed not to stop until these thousands of people who dared to invade Houjin were wiped out.

The people of various banners scattered around Shengjing, after receiving the order, immediately brought all the people and horses together outside the city of Shengjing.

Huang Taiji personally took command, and led the assembled 10 horses, and immediately marched towards Zhenjiang City.

Another day later, Huang Taiji brought people to Zhenjiang City.

After seeing Dai Shan and Yue Tuo, he immediately asked them about Liu Meng's whereabouts.

Dai Shan and Yue Tuo knelt in front of Huang Taiji, and Dai Shan replied:

"Reporting to Khan, the investigation has been clear. Liu Meng's troops are stationed ten miles outside Shengjing City. Depending on the situation, there is no intention of withdrawing..."

When Huang Taiji heard the words, a look of astonishment flashed across his face.

On the way here, he had already learned how Liu Meng captured Zhenjiang City from the Tartars who had reported the news.

Although Wulaha, who was guarding Zhenjiang, was suspected of underestimating the enemy and advancing aggressively, Liu Meng had an opportunity to take advantage of it.

But what I have to admit is that Liu Meng's troops are really good at fighting.

Even with the cannon that hit farther and farther than Hou Jin and Da Ming, he couldn't resist Liu Meng's attack, and it was only a matter of time before the city was destroyed.

But Liu Meng had thousands of new-style firecrackers and dozens of new-style cannons, which made Huang Taiji very afraid.

Fortunately, this time I gathered more than [-] people from Houjin, a rare opportunity, Huang Taiji made up his mind that even if a few more people died, he would wipe out Liu Meng, a confidant, on Houjin's territory.

Otherwise, let Liu Meng continue to develop, and sooner or later, Hou Jin will be destroyed in his hands.

You know, Houjin used force to make the surrounding Mongolian tribes submit, if Liu Meng was allowed to come and go freely in Houjin's territory.

Without Liu Meng's actions, those Mongolian tribes would find an opportunity to rebel against Hou Jin's rule and start a riot.

At that time, it is not a matter of some people dying, but the possibility of extermination.

Huang Taiji knew very well that the Mongols' capricious character, typical bully and fear of strength, if they became weaker, they would naturally bite their master without hesitation.

After thinking about these things clearly, Huang Taiji immediately ordered the army to move out to fight Liu Meng's troops.

The order was issued, and more than [-] Tartar troops marched towards Liu Meng's garrison.

Liu Meng naturally also knew the news that Huang Taiji had brought reinforcements, so he set up his formation early and stayed where he was.

A few hours later, the two sides faced each other three miles away and confronted each other.

Liu Meng and Huang Taiji saw each other's figure in the telescope.

The next moment, Huang Taiji ordered that Mongolian light cavalry and light and heavy infantry pressed forward to Liu Meng's position.

Two miles away, Liu Meng's artillery would not allow them to charge up, and unceremoniously ordered the artillery to fire.

Amidst the booming cannons, the newly assembled infantry and Mongolian cavalry were dealt a devastating blow.

The infantry hadn't charged yet, the formation was relatively dense, and the lethality of the shells was maximized.

The relatively better ones are only Mongolian Qingqi, but many people died.

Seeing this scene, the veins on Huang Taiji's forehead twitched.

He was also rejoicing that he knew the power of Liu Meng's artillery long ago. The cavalry camp was three miles away, perfectly staggering the coverage of Liu Meng's artillery.

Otherwise, if one is not good, he will be attacked by Liu Meng's artillery, and maybe he will die here too.

Since the infantry could not rush through, Huang Taiji ordered the infantry to retreat, preparing to press the cavalry up.

The order was given and the team regrouped.

Liu Meng saw through the binoculars that the [-] Tartar light cavalry had been divided into three groups on the left, middle and right, ready to charge towards him.

The corner of Liu Meng's mouth couldn't help but curl up. In this narrow strip of 500 meters, no matter how many cavalry you have, you still have to withstand several waves of shelling one by one.

Even if your cavalry can rush within 100 meters, there are still two major killers, rifles and explosives, to greet you.

If Huang Taiji was smart, he could only withdraw the cavalry under the condition that the cavalry lost little, and watched him leave the Houjin territory swaggeringly.

With such a long distance, Huang Taiji did not let the heavy cavalry join the attacking sequence.

It was two miles away, and heavy cavalry couldn't run very far. Even if they rushed to Liu Meng's position in the end, the horses would be exhausted and have no fighting power.

The only thing you can rely on is the light cavalry.

The next moment, a low-pitched ox horn sounded from the Houjin camp, and the cavalry rode their horses and started galloping. After a while, they entered the range of the artillery.

Liu Meng was also polite, and the artillerymen immediately started firing, with a 'rumbling' sound, and a round would be fired every ten seconds or so.

The shells fell into the cavalry ranks, and no less than dozens of cavalrymen were killed by the shells every time.

Fortunately, the speed of the cavalry was fast after all. After several rounds of shelling at a distance of two miles, they rushed to 200 meters from Liu Meng's position.

Liu Meng immediately ordered the riflemen to line up and shoot. The gunshots sounded like fried beans, and many cavalrymen were knocked off their horses.

After three rounds of shooting, wait for the cavalry to enter the range of the [-]-meter explosive package.

Immediately let your own cavalry unit shoot the rocket in your hand and ignite the fuse of the explosive package.

At this moment, it became completely lively, amidst the dense "rumbling" explosions that shook the sky one after another.

The cavalry who rushed into the range of the explosive package were killed and injured by the explosive power of the explosive package.

In the lingering gunpowder smoke, the war horses ran wildly and collided with each other, knocking the knight off the horse, and was trampled to death by the horse's hoof.
