Chapter 1075 The Fate of the First Manchu Warrior

The road from Liaoyang to Hupiyi is about [-] miles, and it usually takes a day for infantry to march.However, it took the new army just over half a day to arrive from Liaoyang.

Of course, this is related to the fact that most of the new army is composed of horse infantry and chariot battalions. Another point is that the training and military discipline of the new army are not comparable to other armies.

At this time, release the afterlife, that is, the time for afternoon tea.Emperor Chongzhen looked up at the sky, and said to the new army general Cao Bianjiao and the supervisor Feng Dehua: "The Manchus are clamoring in the city, let them see the gap between civilization and barbarism!"

"Observe the order!" Cao Bianjiao and Feng Dehua both received the order, and then immediately went down to make arrangements.

The battle plan has already been deduced.You don't have to worry about the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty in the city, just follow the steps of the new army!

Hong Chengchou was a little curious. He didn't know what the emperor meant by the gap between civilization and barbarism.So, just stare at Cao Bianjiao and see what they are going to do?
He didn't deny it either, just after watching for a while, he knew that the elite of the new army was indeed the leader of the Ming army.However, the Manchus in the city could hear that the morale had indeed improved, and the Emperor of the Manchus personally led the army, and they must have been accompanied by elites. The battle at the Tiger Skin Station would definitely be a tough battle!How will the new army fight?What will it be like?To meet the emperor's expectations?

This question only lingered in his mind for a while, and then he saw the artillery battalion of the new army dispatched, even transporting the Hongyi cannons a little farther away from the city, and then began to set up the artillery positions.

As a member of the great officials of the Ming Dynasty, Hong Chengchou naturally knew the power of the Hongyi cannon. Setting up the Hongyi cannon at such a close distance, wouldn't it be obvious that the defense of the tiger skin post was weak, and there was no way to do it without heavy artillery and trebuchets? Does it pose a threat to the artillery position?Could this be the gap between civilization and barbarism that the emperor said?

It seems to be the same, the barbarians can't make artillery with these constructions, but Ming can.Now they are bombarded with Hongyi cannons again, but Man Qing has no power to fight back.

In fact, it's more than that. Under Hong Chengchou's vision, there are groups of fusiliers approaching the top of the city, making preparations just a stone's throw away.

"Hey, what are they... what are they going to do?" Hong Chengchou was puzzled. Although he didn't have this flintlock in his army, he had sold it to the Mongolian tribes in the west. The range of the musket was actually as powerful as the bow and arrow. almost.As the distance increases, the aim will be more floating than the bow and arrow.With the range of this arrow, can those flintlock guns be useful?
Not to mention him, even the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty on the top of the city ignored the decorations of the fusiliers and were just anxious about the red cannons.

This tiger-skin post is just a major traffic route, not a fortified city like Shenyang and Liaoyang, and the defensive facilities in the city are even more pitiful.Not to mention that there are basically no cannons, even trebuchets, and there is not a single one.

At the beginning, the Manchus did not think that there would be a big battle at the Tiger Skin Station, and they would defend the city here.Therefore, the ordnance carried by the army is at most the ordnance such as the chariot that can be used to defend against muskets in field battles.As a result, there was a situation in front of him where he could only be beaten but not fight back.

In fact, this is also the main reason why it was necessary to surround Liaoyang without fighting, to lure the Manchu Qing army in Shenyang to come to ask for help, and to surround Liaoyang halfway for a decisive battle.Emperor Chongzhen's strategy is to never fight too tired if you can fight easily, and it is best not to die if you can reduce the number of deaths!If you can crush it easily, then you can crush it easily!

On the top of the city, Huang Taiji, who had just gone down to eat, hurried back to the top of the city after hearing the news.Of course, he wasn't stupid enough to go to the section of the city wall that Hongyi Cannon was facing.Before, he didn't think that the Ming army would attack the city today.After all, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty had just arrived from Liaoyang, and the army was exhausted from marching. It is the best policy to attack the city after resting.But it turns out that he was wrong.

Huang Taiji saw that the Ming army skillfully set up artillery positions, and the dark artillery holes were aimed at the south gate one by one, which made people feel a little creepy.

"Quickly, block the south gate with earth and rocks!" Seeing this, Huang Taiji issued an order immediately, otherwise with so many Hongyi cannons firing one round, the gate of the city would be blasted open.

He was talking here, and the fusiliers below the city also saw it, and some people followed, as if they wanted to shoot him.

In the wars of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, there was a tactic, which was to capture the king first before capturing the thief.They will organize archers in the army to shoot and kill enemy generals.Years of experience have proved that this style of play is very effective.

One of the most famous examples is that in the original history, when the Manchu Qing invaded the Central Plains and attacked the Daxi Kingdom established by Zhang Xianzhong, Zhang Xianzhong was shot and killed before the war started, causing the Daxi Army to have almost no resistance and a crushing defeat.

Huang Taiji had a good idea of ​​the range of musketeers, and he knew that it was basically impossible for the musketeers of the Ming army to shoot him.Therefore, I didn't care, and continued to observe the artillery positions of the Ming Dynasty and gave orders.What he was most concerned about at this time was that after the Ming army's Hongyi cannons could not smash the city gate, they would definitely aim to smash the city wall.At that time, how should he defend!In any case, we must support until dark, only in that way, there may be a chance of Qing Dynasty.

However, he didn't care. As the commander of his personal guards, Oboi still cared very much. He hurried forward, commanding his personal guards to stand in front of Huang Taiji, while persuading Huang Taiji: "Your Majesty, this place is too dangerous. , let’s hide inside!”

Huang Taiji smiled and said indifferently: "As the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, how can I be afraid of the Ming army outside the city. The Ming army's muskets, no matter how good the quality is, the range is right there, and they can really hit me. No way? In any case, as the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, I must..."

He had just finished speaking when he heard the sound of "呯呯呯" outside the city.

When Huang Taiji was disturbed by this voice, he stopped talking. Then, he felt numbness in his ears, followed by severe pain.Shocked, he stretched out his hand to touch it, and before he could look, he saw Oboi standing in front of him, with a painful expression on his face, as if he wanted to turn his head to look, or reach out to touch his head, but he couldn't do anything, he threw himself forward. , fell down at once.

At this time, a personal guard had already swooped over and threw Huang Taiji to the ground.At this time, Huang Taiji didn't care about the pain, but just looked at Oboi who happened to be face to face with him on the ground very puzzled.Seeing that Oboi's mouth was full of blood, looking at Huang Taiji with his eyes, he seemed to want to speak, but he couldn't speak, struggled a few times before dying, and then remained motionless, apparently dead.

At this time, Huang Taiji found that Oboi's fatal injury was a hole in the back of his head, bleeding.In connection with the sound of muskets that sounded outside the city just now, he immediately understood that Oboi was shot and killed by muskets.

What kind of bad luck is this, to be shot in the back of the head by a musket?The bravery of Oboi was the crown of the Qing Dynasty, so he died like this?This... is this really the end of the world?
It was only when Huang Taiji came up with such an idea that he saw the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty standing outside the city wall, especially those with some official titles, fell to the ground one by one, and all died of headshots from muskets.Suddenly, he froze there.

If it was just Oboi who was shot in the head by a musket outside the city, it could also explain Oboi's extreme bad luck, but so many people were hit by muskets, it was not luck.The muskets in the hands of the Ming army outside the city were far more accurate than the muskets he had ever seen!
After thinking about this, Huang Taiji couldn't help being very surprised and desperate: When did the Ming army have such powerful muskets?At the same time, he also understood that it was his luck that his ear was injured.If it wasn't for good luck, he might end up the same as Oboi in front of him!

Thinking of this, he felt no rejoicing, but despair!The artillery of the Ming army is already difficult to deal with. Now that the artillery is so powerful, how can the Qing Dynasty defend it?The renewed morale was unknowingly consumed by the cruel reality.

At this time, the fusiliers outside the city were very regretful.One of them didn't realize it at all. His shot shot the headshot of the so-called No. [-] warrior of the Qing Dynasty. He just regretted that he didn't headshot the slave chief, otherwise, the credit would have been great.

When the rifled flintlock gun appeared for the first time on the battlefield, it fully demonstrated its advantages in range and accuracy. With just a few hundred rifled guns, it was impossible to beat the Manchu soldiers on the top of the city.This situation also made those ordinary fusiliers very envious.

They could only watch the rifled flintlock guns show their power, so they had no choice but to comfort themselves. The reloading speed of these rifled flintlock guns was too slow, and the real war depended on the guys in their hands!

The rifled fusiliers took their time and continued to search for heads, showing off their hard-practiced headshot stunts.At the same time, an earth-shattering sound suddenly sounded between the heaven and the earth.

With a sound of "boom", gunpowder smoke suddenly burst out from the artillery positions of the Ming army. Almost at the same time, a hole was smashed in the south gate of Tiger Skin Station. The gate was broken, but the inside was already blocked with mud. , this iron bullet could not penetrate the city gate.

Seeing this, the commander on the artillery position immediately issued an order to adjust the shooting parameters. After a while, another Hongyi cannon suddenly let out a roar, and the fired artillery immediately smashed into the tiger skin post city. On the battlements, with the sound of "crash", the battlements collapsed.It's just a city wall piled up with dirt, not a fortified city like Shenyang and Liaoyang, and it can't withstand the angry shots of Hongyi cannons at all.

Huang Taiji, who was already hiding in a safe place, heard the roar of the artillery and the movement from the top of the city, and his face turned ashen.He had been at war with the Ming army for a long time, and he understood that the two cannons just now were just the Ming army testing the cannons to adjust their shooting accuracy.But the test guns are so accurate, and the process is so short, which shows that the artillery of the Ming army is very capable.Even if there are Hongyi cannons on the top of the city, the Qing army cannot be the opponent of the Ming army just because of the difference in gunners.

Just as he thought, after a few blinks of an eye, a continuous roar of "Boom boom boom..." suddenly sounded outside the city. .

This is the roar of artillery, the iron bullets of revenge, venting the anger of Ming Dynasty, representing the justice of civilization, all smashed on the city wall that the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty relied on for protection.All of a sudden, mud splashed on the top of the city, and the raised dust immediately filled the air, covering half of the Tiger Skin Post City.

The roar of fifty red barbarian cannons was just one round, and amidst the dust, one could see the southern outer city wall of Hupiyi City, as if it had been smashed to pieces with a hammer, and it was abruptly shorter than other city walls. took a piece.

The soldiers of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties who were hiding inside the city walls were either beaten to the point of bleeding by the splashed stones, or died, or as if they had just crawled out of the mud, their bodies were covered in dust.Faced with such a powerful artillery bombardment, the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty who survived by chance, and the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty whose morale had been revived before, were all terrified. Even if the military discipline was strict, even if the emperor was in the city, they were buzzing. Amidst the roar of buzzing heads, one by one fled the city wall recklessly, and even a few jumped off the city wall in a panic.

Flesh and blood, no matter how high their morale is, how can they stop the roar of civilization!The progress of the times!

Before the soldiers of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties in Tiger Skin Post City had time to catch their breath and recover from the shock, the artillery positions of the Ming army outside the city were once again deafeningly roaring.

"Boom boom boom..."

This voice is like the god of thunder descending into the world, severely punishing the demons and ghosts in the world!This voice was even more a roar of vengeance, announcing that it was time to settle the score with the executioner whose hands were stained with the blood of the Liaodong people.

Inside the city wall, although hiding in a safe place, Huang Taiji was desperate, Jierhalang was also desperate, and even Daishan, who was unwilling to reconcile and scolded Huang Taiji and his morale, was also desperate.The red cannons of the Ming army are powerful, and the gunners are even more skilled. The city wall of the tiger skin post can't support the dark at all. How can the Qing Dynasty fight to the death with the Ming army outside the city?Why come to fight to the death with the Ming army outside the city?

In the distance outside the city, although Hong Chengchou had seen the power of Hongyi cannons before, it was the first time Hong Chengchou had seen so many Hongyi cannons firing together.This is the first time I have seen the gunners of the new army.At this time, he saw the dusty tiger skin post, under the roaring artillery fire, like a paper city wall, and he understood in his heart why the cavalry army he led only came to show off, and the emperor only wanted the new army to attack Tiger Skin Station?

There is no other reason, because the new army is enough to ravage the Manchu soldiers in the city!

Thinking of this, he turned his head to look at the young emperor, and found that the emperor was looking at the tiger skin post with a calm expression on his face, as if the scene in front of him did not surprise him at all.It seems that they don't care at all about the great power displayed by Hongyi Cannon!

He couldn't help admiring it, His Majesty is indeed not surprised by honor or disgrace, can hold his breath, he is indeed a wise master who does great things!

Naturally, he would not know that the Emperor Chongzhen in front of him had seen a real barrage of guns. Of course, it was in a movie. The bombardment in front of him was just a child's play, so what's the point? excited!
