Chapter 379 Another Expedited Eight Hundred Miles

Although he said so, none of the leaders of Jianlu around were fools.They all saw it just now, and Huang Taiji's face became very ugly.

That is to say, there is definitely something going on in Haizhou!

It was just this matter that actually surprised these Jianlu leaders.

For a long time, Jianlu's side has been fighting against Guan Ning's Ming army.Jianlu had always led the troops there, while Guan Ning's Ming army was always shrunk inside Ning Jinjian City.

Even if Zu Dashou led a cavalry army of about [-] to watch Haizhou from a long distance last time, he was wiped out by Jianlu.

It can be said that Jianlu has always been very strong against Shangguan Ning's Ming army!
However, now Haizhou sent an urgent call from eight hundred miles, saying that the Ming army attacked Haizhou.

What does this mean? It means that Haizhou must feel that it is very dangerous, so he asked for help so urgently.Otherwise, just like Zu Dashou last time, Haizhou City sent troops directly to scare the Ming army back.

Anyway, in a word, there is definitely a situation in Haizhou, and it must be quite serious!
Thinking like this, Duduo became uneasy.

For a long time, he and Dorgon, who is the same father and mother, have the closest relationship. It can even be said that they depend on each other for life, and they have overcome difficulties again and again to become what they are today.Therefore, he may not care about others, but he definitely cares about Dorgon's affairs.

If there are a large number of Ming troops in Haizhou, then there must be something wrong with Dorgon's troops stationed in Tashan.Otherwise, the Ming army would never have appeared in Haizhou.Even if the Ming army from the sea wants to appear in Haizhou, there must be police in Gaizhou!
Thinking this way, as soon as Huang Taiji finished speaking, he immediately asked: "Your Majesty, how is the Tashan side? Can I read this memorial?"

Hearing his question, the other Jianlu leaders also pricked up their ears, just wanting to hear how the real situation is?
However, Huang Taiji's face darkened, and he pointed at Pyongyang City and shouted: "The battle is together, why are you distracted? Didn't you hear what I said, after this battle, I will personally lead the army back to teach the Guan Ning army! Could it be that your Duoduo's wings are hardened now, and my words are also falling on your ears?"

This word is a bit heavy.Doduo's face changed when he heard it, and he didn't dare to talk back, so he had to back down.

At the same time, he has hidden worries in his heart.

The more Huang Taiji avoided talking about it, the more he worried about Dorgon's safety.Moreover, Huang Taiji was angry at him just now, and there was a faint purpose in his words, which made him very uneasy.

For a long time, there have been rumors that Xian Khan originally intended him to succeed Khan, but was taken away by Huang Taiji and kept suppressing him.Thanks to Dorgon standing with him all the time, he is safe and sound until now.

At the beginning, Duduo must have been filled with hatred and wanted to wait for an opportunity to make an explanation.However, Huang Taiji was so cunning and clever that even Mang Gurtai and Amin, who were originally equal to Huang Taiji, were forced to meet Xianhan.Duduo was also scared, so he still dared to fight with Huang Taiji.At this time, hearing Huang Taiji's intention of targeting, I'm afraid it's fake.

As soon as Huang Taiji uttered such heavy words, other people didn't dare to say more when they saw Duduo's fate.I can only turn my mind to the battle situation in front of me.

Quietly, Huang Taiji put the balled memorial into his sleeve.Then, he looked up at the city of Pyongyang, secretly rejoicing in his heart.Fortunately, I was fully prepared, and it would not take much time to go to Pyongyang for this battle.As soon as Pyongyang is captured, return to the division immediately, and nothing will happen to Liaodong.As for North Korea, it will be the same when we come to clean up next time.

Thinking this way, suddenly there was a loud commotion in front of him, and he looked intently, but it turned out that the moat had been filled for a long period, which was considered to be filled.Those North Korean people breathed a sigh of relief and retreated one after another, thinking that this would be all right.

But what they didn't expect was that Jianlu, who supervised the battle, ordered them to push the catapult and the cart for transporting stone bullets.Obviously, they will not let go of these North Korean people until they have squeezed out the last bit of value.

Huang Taiji was naturally indifferent to this.In fact, this matter was done according to his wishes.

Next, it’s time to fire thousands of artillery pieces. Even without artillery, they can still flatten the city wall of Pyongyang!Huang Taiji thought this and breathed a sigh of relief.Everything in the war went as smoothly as he expected. This was at least a good start!
On the top of the city, Lu Xiangsheng didn't know about the [-]-mile rush on Jianlu's side, let alone the content of the [-]-mile rush.At this time, with a serious expression, he scanned the countless places outside the city, and the catapults that moved slowly like a beetle.

Once so many catapults are allowed to enter the effective range and start throwing stone bombs, it will indeed pose a huge threat to the defenders.

After looking at it for a while, Lu Xiangsheng estimated that it was almost done, so he issued a military order: "Transfer my military order, the Hongyi cannon is ready. The first target, Jianlu's catapult, has entered the effective range and can be fired freely."

The experience of the Battle of Lushun showed that marking the artillery range and shooting parameters in advance is very useful in warfare.Therefore, Lu Xiangsheng will naturally not forget the battle of Pyongyang, let the artillery on the city head test the guns in advance, mark the shooting parameters and so on.

Now the number of Hongyi cannons on this city is actually more than Huang Taiji estimated.They were all moved from naval warships.Even the artillery came from the naval artillery on the warship.

However, the power of the Hongyi Cannon is actually not too great, and the number of enemies it can kill is limited.Therefore, Lu Xiangsheng did not transfer too many from the naval warship.When he saw that Jianlu had prepared so many catapults, it was too late to adjust them.

Even so, Lu Xiangsheng was not too afraid.The range of the Hongyi cannon is far greater than that of the catapult.Therefore, if the Hongyi cannon is accurate enough, it will definitely be able to destroy enough Jianlu catapults.

On the top of the city, next to the Hongyi cannon, a Ming army officer stared at the movement outside the city, and suddenly shouted: "A catapult entered the range of No. A, put the No. A medicine bag, adjust the elevation angle to the first position, immediately Prepare!"

The artillerymen on the side heard this, and immediately got busy nervously.

In fact, the gunpowder bag in the gun barrel was filled with the No. A gunpowder bag from the very beginning, because the Jianlu catapult must be the advanced No. A position.After waiting, it may be necessary to replace other gunpowder packs such as B, B, D, etc.

These artillerymen are all professional, even if they are transferred from naval warships, they are dedicated to serving artillery, so their movements are very fast.Then there is no need to wait for the military order, and the officer next to the artillery decides to fire at his own discretion.

There was a "boom", and for the first time gunpowder smoke rose from the city of Pyongyang.

Almost at the same time as the sound of the cannon sounded, an iron bullet whizzed towards the side of a catapult, only about half a foot away, and then the iron bullet bounced off and continued to jump forward with inertia.

Iron bullets passed by a group of shirtless prisoners who were pushing a catapult, and the group on the left.Immediately, a bunch of people fell down, and they were just scratched. The serious ones had already lost their arms and legs.

"It's such a pity!" On the top of the city, beside the firing Hongyi cannon, the commanding officer was very sorry. His purpose was to destroy the catapult, not to kill and wound the Jianlu, which was a bit off.

So, he immediately ordered again to adjust the shooting parameters and prepare for the next round of shelling.

At the same time, above the city of Pyongyang, the sound of "booming, booming" artillery sounded from time to time, and the sounds one after another were like playing a piece of music.The iron bullets roared out, some of them missed their targets, and some even made useless efforts, not even killing a single prisoner;
However, some iron bullets accurately hit the moving catapult. With a "crash", the catapult immediately fell apart like paper, and then injured the captives pushing the catapult, or the Korean people who had just been rushed over.

On the top of the city, the North Korean soldiers were a little dumbfounded.

In their hearts, they were all surprised at how the Ming army's artillery could be so accurate.
Most of them are musketeers, and they have a better understanding of the shooting accuracy of muskets.I also know that artillery is more difficult to hit than muskets.Especially the first shot of artillery, it is very difficult to achieve high accuracy.However, the artillery firing of the Ming army in front of them can be said to be the most accurate artillery they have ever seen!
The situation observed in front of them immediately gave them a lot of confidence.The Ming army was an elite army, backed by a tall city wall, Jianlu might not be able to attack!

At the same time, Huang Taiji, who was fighting outside the city, felt exactly the opposite of the mood of the North Korean soldiers.The same situation he observed made his face turn ugly while he was surprised.At this time, he believed what Daishan told him, saying that the army artillery fired very accurately, because he saw it with his own eyes.

However, he was also prepared, and immediately passed down the decree, and Jianlu had another movement.

On the battlefield, Jianlu's tens of thousands of cavalry were all scattered, driving their horses to rush towards the city of Pyongyang. Then they used their cavalry bows and relied on their numerical advantage to shoot arrows at the top of the city, while the horses under their crotches kept stopping. , turned an arc, and quickly moved away from the city wall.

Under the interference of the cavalry, the Jianlu infantry quickened their pace again, and approached the city wall in a disorderly manner. When they reached the point where an arrow was shot, they shot upwards at the top of the city.They also do not pursue precision, but rely on quantity to cover the city of Pyongyang.The main focus of shooting is the section of the city wall with the Hongyi cannon.

Of course, the defenders on the top of the city will not let them shoot arrows on the top of the city.Whether it is the Ming army or the North Korean soldiers, those who shoot arrows shoot arrows, and those who shoot shoots shoot, and the fight begins.

On the top of the city, it is condescending, and there are arrow-proof tarpaulins, which have an advantage in terms of protection;
Under the city, Jianlu archers and cavalry archers had almost no defensive measures.But they have more people and higher attack intensity.

For a while, it can't be said that that side has the upper hand.

Here under the city, from time to time, some Jianlu were shot by arrows, or fell to the ground after being shot.Although there were also arrows shot by the defenders on the top of the city, the difference in the proportion of injuries between the two sides was still a bit large.

However, on the top of the city, the Hongyi cannons of the Ming army could not fire freely as fast as they did at the beginning.The speed of the bombardment of the catapult obviously slowed down.There are still a lot of Jianlu catapults outside the city, still slowly moving down the city of Pyongyang, getting closer, getting closer...

On the top of the city, Lu Xiangsheng watched the scene in front of him in the watchtower, feeling helpless in his heart.Nannu Chief Huang Taiji was willing to go all out, relying on his strong military force, he even dispatched both infantry and cavalry, using their superiority in numbers to make up for their inferiority in siege, and to offset the superiority of the Ming army in artillery.I have to say, that slave chief is ruthless enough!
In this way, this battle will be bitter!

Seeing this scene, Huang Taiji was relieved.Regardless of the casualties, it is to give the killer a chance to allow more catapults to deploy under the city of Pyongyang. When the catapults exert their power, the Ming army on the top of the city will not be able to last long.As long as the city of Pyongyang can be captured quickly, even if the casualties are higher, it will be worth it.

At this moment, he was still very satisfied with the battle in Pyongyang before him.

So, his mind slowly turned to Haizhou again.To be honest, he was still worried.

At this moment, he wanted to know what the real situation in Haizhou was like?

Maybe God wants to fulfill his wish. Just as he was thinking about it, he saw another messenger speeding towards him. Just by looking at it, he knew that it was another [-]-mile rush!
It was a cloudy day, and the weather was not very hot.However, when Huang Taiji saw another Babaili hurriedly appearing, his eyes darkened and he almost fainted.

No need to ask, this [-]-mile rush is definitely not a good thing!

The Jianlu on standby at the rear, including the leader of Jianlu beside Huang Taiji, also saw the eye-catching [-]-mile express courier. It has only been so long, and there are two [-]-mile rushes. This is definitely a big deal ah!
As a result, everyone seemed to have forgotten the fierce siege battle going on in front of them. They all turned their attention to Huang Taiji. Even if they couldn't hear it, they wanted to see what was going on?
The messenger was brought in front of Huang Taiji, unable to kneel down, all supported by the yellow jacket, and reported to Huang Taiji: "Anshan post castle was attacked by the Ming army, and it was found out that it was the hussar battalion under the imperial horse supervisor of the Ming Dynasty! "

Hearing this, everyone was shocked.

All along, they thought it was Guan Ningjun who was causing trouble.However, the elite of Guan Ning's army was the Zu Family Army. They had been designed to get rid of them, and the leader Zu Dashou was also finished.Therefore, they subconsciously believed that even if Guan Ningjun caused trouble again, it would not cause much trouble.After all, they have been dealing with Guan Ningjun for many years and are already very familiar with it.

However, what they heard at this time was that the people causing trouble in Liaodong were not Guan Ning's army, but the Hussar Battalion from the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

As for this hussars battalion, because He Renlong was sent to Jinzhou in advance, through the scouting battle, the situation of the hussars battalion was more or less known from the captured Ming army prisoners.It can be said that this hussar battalion is actually the imperial forest army of the Ming emperor.Judging from the two [-]-li rushes before and after, it is unlikely that all the hussar battalions have arrived in Liaodong.Does that mean that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty personally led the army to attack Liaodong?
At the thought of this possibility, these Jianlu suddenly became uneasy!
　Last month, all three members of my family fell ill, and then I was on a business trip, and relatives came to my house. There were too many things. It was not because I was lazy, so for more than a week, I only had [-] words a day.Those who are lacking will not be made up, and there is really no way to make up.If you donate real gold and silver rewards, you must add more, and you will pay back slowly in the future.
