Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 296
Today, the God of War seems to be particularly bloodthirsty. When Yang Menglong started killing the poorly equipped Mongolian cavalry, blood and flesh flew across the north and south banks of the Daling River.

The current situation on the battlefield on both sides of the Daling River is: the main forces of the Tianxiong Army and the Guanning Army have all crossed the Daling River; The timid hussar battalion, under the leadership of Lu Xiangsheng, rushed straight to the Golden Dragon King Banner, which is the yellow flag, and the three-way army attacked like a tide.On the south bank, a total of 1 horses and horses from the two golden and white flags suddenly burst out from the two wings and stormed the Ming army's car camp on the south bank, trying to copy the Ming army's retreat.

The two sides fought in a melee, and it was difficult to tell the difference.

The strength of the two white flags at this time is not the same as before the flag was changed. The two flags add up to only forty bulls. The strength is greatly reduced.However, although the two white flags were very poor, they were still very confident in taking down a small car camp. When they came up, they attacked indiscriminately, trying to smash the Ming army car camp and grab a big contribution. .However, the reality gave them a hard blow. When the two white flags were [-] steps away from the car camp, a large amount of gunpowder smoke and flames burst out from the Ming army car camp, and lead bullets came pouring down one by one. After that, the golden warriors were shot one after another.What's even more frightening is that the eight large Francophone cannons also fired, and they fired crosswise. In a series of violent roars, thousands of grape bullets swept over like iron brooms, and the attacking front lines of the two white flags exploded into pieces. Blood mist, many elite soldiers were torn apart by this terrible crossfire, and the pieces of flesh flew around, which was extremely tragic.The first round of offensive was thus defeated.

Dorgon was furious, beheaded several soldiers who took the lead in escaping, and deployed the attack again. This time he didn't dare to be careless anymore, and he hit three armors in one breath. Of course, this old and cunning guy will not forget to let Mongol and Han soldiers rushed to the front as targets.The Ming army doesn't care, no matter who comes first, they will still shoot. Every ten seconds a volley of guns, each volley of guns will cut the formation of the two white flags like a knife cutting a radish. Pour one layer.The two white flags showed their housekeeping skills, and sharp arrows poured towards the carriage camp like rain. In just a few minutes, those carriages and grain bags were densely filled with sharp arrows, and many musketeers were shot in the face. , died on the spot.The two white flags have put all their strength into feeding them, but they can't take any advantage in the confrontation, because the Ming army has cover and helmets. It is very difficult for arrows to kill the musketeers hiding behind the fortifications, but they did not have any cover, and they were beaten by the rain of bullets poured over by the Ming army.The best way for the two white flags is to rush into the camp regardless of the cost, and use a saber to fight with the Ming army's musketeers. They mercilessly smashed the troops that had broken through the firepower network of the Ming army... Parapets, muskets, and grape bullets formed an insurmountable obstacle, and the two white flags collided in front of this simple line of defense.

What makes Dorgon slightly balanced is that Huang Taiji's experience is no better than him.The hussar battalion trampled on the formation of the Zhenghuang flag almost recklessly, and drove straight into the rear Jinwang banner.The white-robed general who rushed to the front was already stained red by the blood sprayed from the Houjin Warrior, and the Mo Dao was swung like a wheel, and the Houjin Warrior was one by one. One after another, they were smashed and turned over, and all the people and horses were smashed.Many Houjin warriors who were famous for their bravery before King Khan went up to meet them, and they were all cut into two pieces by him. Use a horse lance to poke a hornet's nest.Huang Taiji was frightened and angry, pointing at the white-robed general who was slashing and killing the Houjin warrior, he asked sharply: "Who is this person? He is so fierce!"

A Han official said tremblingly: "He must be Lu Xiangsheng who participated in the political affairs of Daming Dao!"

Huang Taiji roared angrily: "Didn't you say that he is a civil servant, how can he be more fierce than the bravest military general!"

As soon as the words fell, Lu Xiangsheng swept his knife across, and a Hongba Yala soldier who barely caught his knife flew out with a horse's head and a man's head spinning, and the golden warrior was terrified!Fan Wencheng was terrified for a while, and said: "King Khan, the enemy army is not good, and King Khan is a man of gold, so it is not appropriate to risk yourself, please retreat quickly!"

Huang Taiji's eyes were red, the veins on his forehead were exposed, and he roared out of composure: "I have experienced many battles, and I have always been a general of the Ming army who fled under the impact of my iron cavalry. I have never retreated half a step! Get out of the way, Ben Khan wants Beat the drums and cheer for the soldiers yourself!" The battle against the Tianxiong Army was not smooth from the very beginning, but until now, Houjin has simply lost the wind, which made Huang Taiji very angry.It would be fine if they were forced to retreat by the Ming army with absolute superiority in the infantry battle. The problem was that the Ming army attacked from three directions, and the troops of the three routes were all at a disadvantage, but after fighting, the Jin army retreated steadily!Facing a completely unfamiliar opponent, the Tianxiong Army, and this completely unfamiliar tactic, Huang Taiji couldn't come up with any effective countermeasures for a moment, but he was very clear about one thing: the soldiers of the Eight Banners must win this battle, Otherwise, the famous "Jurchen is not full of ten thousand, and ten thousand cannot fight" will be trampled into the mud by the horseshoes of the Ming army, and he will lose this intangible precious wealth!

In war, apart from logistics, training, the quality of generals, and the right time and place, psychological advantages are also very important. Even if a victorious army has only two or three hundred people, it dares to attack thousands of enemy troops and defeat them. And even if an army that is often defeated has an absolute superiority in strength, it will not be able to muster any courage to fight in the face of an opponent who has humiliated itself countless times, and can only retreat.The former firmly believes that he can smash the overwhelmingly superior enemy without any suspense, while the latter firmly believes that he will be crushed without any suspense by the enemy who is only one-tenth of his own. The psychology formed by countless victories or/failures The gap has become an important factor in determining the outcome of the war.Nurhachi used countless victories to establish this psychological advantage for the Eight Banners Army. The courage to come out and confront them head-on, and cause Houjin a certain amount of damage in every battle, then, even if Houjin can win most of the battles, they must be the ones who lose in the end!

A sharp arrow shot down through the air and hit the flagpole of the Golden Dragon Flag with a loud bang, scaring everyone present into a cold sweat.This sharp arrow reminded Huang Taiji that the Hussars camp was not far away from him!Fan Wencheng couldn't care so much anymore and shouted: "Protect King Khan and retreat!" Without him shouting, Huang Taiji's soldiers surrounded him to protect Huang Taiji and Wang Qi and retreat. Huang Taiji roared repeatedly and asked his soldiers to go up and fight. He drove the hussars back, but no one listened to him.

Seeing Wang Qi moving backward, Qian Yu couldn't help being overjoyed. He stabbed a rear golden cavalryman over with one spear, and shouted: "Jiannu is defeated! Jiannu is defeated!" The hussars shouted in unison: "Jiannu is defeated!" Lost! Jiannu defeated!" This group of guys all had super loud voices, hundreds of people yelled out at the same time, overwhelming the sound of thousands of troops fighting, the Ming army and the Hou Jin army unconsciously escaped their reputation, I saw the fiery red general flag of the hussars battalion moving forward, while Houjin's golden dragon banner was retreating steadily. There was a huge noise on the battlefield, and the Houjin warriors roared in shock, anger, and horror. I also don't want to believe that Zhenghuang Banner was beaten so badly by hundreds of horses and cavalry, but the Ming army cheered almost madly: "Jiannu is defeated! Jiannu is defeated!" At the beginning, it was the hussars of the Tianxiong Army The battalion was screaming, and then the pikemen screamed wildly, and then the Guan Ning army let go of their throats, regardless of whether it was true or not. In the end, the Ming army roared like thunder on both sides of the Daling River: "Jiannu is defeated! Jiannu!" Defeated!" The Hou Jin army on both sides of the strait paled in horror, their morale was shattered, and the Ming army took advantage of the momentum to press up, and the offensive became more and more fierce!

Lu Xiangsheng breathed a sigh of relief, thank God, finally broke the position of Hou Jin's army.This road of flesh and blood opened the way and smashed through the layers of the Zhenghuang Banner. The hussar battalion suffered few casualties. It is not bad if half of the hussars who can still follow him are left. The brave and invincible hussar battalion has reached the end of its strength. If they don't collapse, they should collapse.Fortunately, the belief that building a slave must win has been shaken with the move of the king's flag, and the morale of the Ming army is like a rainbow. If the defenders of Dalinghe City break out at this time, the battle will be won!

However, why is there still no movement in Dalinghe City until now?
On the city wall of Dalinghe City, Zu Dashou, Zu Kefa, Zu Zerun, Zhang Cunren, He Kegang and other important generals supported the battlements and looked at the battlefield.They had a panoramic view of the magnificent scene of sharp arrows covering the air and flying flesh and blood on the battlefield, and the voice of "Jianu is defeated, Jianu is defeated" came clearly, which made them bewildered.They dreamed that the reinforcements would come, but now that the reinforcements had really arrived, and they were fighting Jiannu under the city, they couldn't believe it was real.

————Huang Taiji took advantage of Zu Dashou’s eagerness for reinforcements and asked the Hou Jin army to pretend to be the Ming army to create the illusion of reinforcements. He lured Zu Dashou out of the city to meet him, and then ate him. Zu Dashou suffered severe losses several times. , almost became a prisoner once, and was already a little suspicious.

He Kegang saw a large flaming red tide rushing towards Daling River City. The figures of Guan Ning's cavalry were faintly visible. He shouted excitedly: "Commander Zu, it's true! The reinforcements are really coming! They will build slaves." We are retreating steadily, if our army opens the city and attacks from both inside and outside, we will definitely be able to defeat Jiannu and avenge the three-month siege!"

Zu Dashou asked coldly: "What if it is fake?"

He Kegang was stunned, pointing to the battlefield full of corpses and shouting: "How could it be fake! Look at how many Jiannu died. If it was just to lure our mere 1 people who couldn't even stand still out of the city, The price they paid is too high, right?"

Zu Dashou shook his head: "Jianu has many schemes, we must guard against them!"

Zhang Cunren was in a hurry and shouted: "Master Zu, it can't be a fake! Now that the reinforcements have gained the upper hand, our army will attack the city and defeat Jiannu. This is a golden opportunity. If you miss it, you may be killed." Too late to regret it!"

Zu Dashou resolutely said: "Stop talking about it, it's about the life and death of Daling River City, I have to be careful, let's see it again!"

He Kegang and Zhang Cunren were in a hurry, but they had nothing to do. Who told Zu Dashou to be the immediate boss?
Zu Dashou was indeed a little hesitant at this time.All of this happened so strangely. As soon as he made up his mind to surrender the city, the Ming army came to support him, and even broke out with extraordinary fighting power, driving the elite of the Houjin Three Banners back steadily. This is not normal!If this is a repeat of Huang Taiji's old trick, what is he trying to do by using fake reinforcements to lure him out of the city?It was clearly agreed upon by everyone, and to lure the Guan Ning army out of the city to annihilate them, wouldn't it be unnecessary to take off their pants and fart?And if you look around, it's all bloody fights, it doesn't look like there's any fraud... But, what if it's fake?There are less than [-] soldiers capable of fighting in Dalinghe City, and the horses have been killed to the very last. Once they leave the protection of the city wall, Hou Jin will be able to kill them all. Such a risk , He couldn't bear it!Yes, he couldn't bear the risk in case Huang Taiji cheated!
After hesitating for a long time, Zu Dashou finally made up his mind and waited and watched.If it was really the Ming army who came to help and broke through the siege and came to the Dalinghe city, he would open the city gate to let them in. If this was a farce directed by Huang Taiji, he would just watch the show at the top of the city, anyway, he is not will be out of town.

Zu Dashou was truly as immobile as a mountain.He didn't know that this seemingly foolproof arrangement was about to make him, the Guan Ning army following him, and the Ming army who came to help him pay an extremely high price.
