Beiyang new warlord

These words made Mao Lin's footsteps pause, but immediately, he grabbed Xu Dazhuang's collar and commanded the saber to turn forward.

"You fucking see clearly, your brothers in the same robe are bleeding and desperate, you have the heart to pity them, so pity your brothers first!"

Just under the two little Jiannus, there was a black Dongjiang cotton armor. In front of him, a Jiannu wiped a knife on the neck of a fellow from the same village, spitting blood, and his hand was still scratching there. Jiannu's eyeball, on the other side, without his three-person team, the other two brothers were panicked under the siege of several Jiannu spears and knives. into the crowd.

"go to hell!"

The hand-to-hand combat that the Qing army was proud of was also at a disadvantage in this battle. They used large-scale infantry to attack the key points, and one after another square formation continued. At ten o'clock in the morning, Mao Jue's flying dragon was hung on the highest gate tower of Qingyang Pass. Turning like a phoenix, the steel-reinforced and iron-bone Maozi banner followed by the Guanlou, the corridor, and the beacon tower. During this period, Huang Taiji invested eight banner irons to attack from the flanks, trying to reverse the defeat, but he did not break through Mao Jue's military town. In the past, the Ming army used When it comes out, it looks like paper. When the army arrives here, it will be a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​blood.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Qingyang Pass, the most protruding part of the Liaodong side wall, officially fell. On the rising hills, the Qing army, who had thrown away their helmets and armor, dragged the dragon flag with its teeth and claws, and fled back screaming. Behind, Even the field artillery was resisted to the Guancheng, and the Dongjiang infantry guns fired at the back of the fleeing Qing army.The puff even hit Huang Taiji's side.

Seeing that the bloody hole that was holding his chest fell down in disbelief, and the soldiers around Zhenghuang Qibaifang showed fear for the first time, Huang Taiji couldn't help but sighed, and immediately became powerless He waved his hand.

"Dongjiang Town was a small town back then, but now it has developed such a heinous disaster! It's my fault!"

"Order, withdraw troops!"

Ba Yala immediately shouted and ran down like Meng Amnesty.

"The emperor has orders! Retreat! Retreat!"

Amidst the tinkling gongs, the headquarters of the Qing army stationed at the foot of the mountain also pulled up their flags and then retreated southward. Another large piece of land that was once the Ming Dynasty was taken back. With Qingyang Pass in hand, Dongjiang It will be able to go south step by step like Nurhachi back then, completely defeating the Ming army's Liaodong defense line.

However, it took the Qing Dynasty more than 20 years from the first battle of Fushun to the successive fall of Songjinxing and other cities, and the complete capture of Liaodong. Mao Jue didn't seem to have more than 20 years to squander.

"Haha! General, we have won this battle. Kaiyuan, Tieling, Fushun and Guangning are all in front of our eyes! Liaoyang is also close at hand!"

Almost cried with joy!As one of the survivors of the Liaoyang Massacre, Shen Rong staggered to Mao Jue, who had just climbed up the Guanlou, holding a banner, and eagerly greeted him.

"The last general begs for your orders, this Fushun's first battle must be fought by our Dry Leaf Town, the last general begs you!"

"Old Shen, do you really want to take the lead?"

"Think, think desperately!"

Looking at his excited face, Mao Jue's next words froze Shen Rong's arrogance.

"If you want to take the lead, your troops must rest at Qingyang Pass now, and let Pang Hai's troops go first!"

"Come here, send an order, hurry up and clear all the debris that is blocked by the Qingyang Gate, and pull [-] heavy artillery to enter the gate at the forefront of the entire army. The rest will be cleaned and rested at Qingyang Gate, and must not be leaked!"

"General! Why!"

Full of disbelief, Shen Rong kowtowed and asked.

Chapter 494. Reprint

In this battle, Mao Jue turned into a tarsal maggot.

It was only dawn on the third day after the Battle of Qingyang Pass, and the creaking of wheels was already heard outside Kaiyuan City.

It's just that this is not the dilapidated pass city like Qingyang Pass. Although it is still lacking in repairs, it seems that the Jurchens don't care much about the city defense, but it is still a majestic city.The city defense level of Daming is divided into five levels: town, road, guard, place, and fort. Kaifeng and Shenyang belong to the town city, and this Kaiyuan belongs to the road city which is only one level lower.

Especially here is also the frontier military base that shocked Mongolia, Yehe, and Jianzhou. Together with Tieling City behind it, it forms the key to the north gate of the Liaodong defense chain. The defense is three-dimensional, and there are many gates. Possesses fortress satellite cities.

Back then, Nurhachi’s Battle of Iron was not a desperate attack. During the Battle of Kaiyuan, the commander-in-chief Marin refused to give up the base outside the city, and led the defeated Saarhu army to meet the enemy in the ditch outside the city. The Ming army was unbearable and retreated. Taking the opportunity of the Jurchen spies in the city to make trouble, they opened the city gate, and the Jianzhou army rushed in, and almost completely took down Kaiyuan City. At this time, what was shown in front of Mao Jue was just like this A nearly complete Kaiyuan City.

Picking up the binoculars for the first time, Mao Jue's face twitched uncontrollably.

He himself is a crazy man who builds cities. In Dongjiang and Heilongjiang, reinforced concrete buildings also rose from the ground. During the Battle of Dongjiang, these stone guys once caused Huang Taiji such a headache.Now it's Feng Shui's turn, and this time it's his turn to eat this bitter fruit again! Even if it's not reinforced concrete, the Weibao built by the Ming Dynasty, which inherited the experience of the farming nation for thousands of years in urban defense and warfare, should not be underestimated.

The lead gray wall bricks are full of knives, axes and chisels left over from the war. The vicissitudes of time are very similar to the city walls of the Ming Dynasty in Xi'an, which has resisted several wars outside the pass when it was in the hands of Daming.Behind the neat battlements, the soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty dressed in gray and blue were still carrying defensive materials back and forth to the top of the city. Arrows and arrows, fire oil and gold juice were all ready to beckoned to the Dongjiang army.

It is estimated through the telescope that the city wall is about eight meters high, and according to the insider report, the width is at least five meters thick. Even if the Dongjiang army has a lot of artillery, it will take at least a month to break down the city wall.After all, Mao Jue was not a chemist, so he couldn't research high explosives.There is already a precedent for black powder bombing the city Li Zicheng. Tens of thousands of catties of gunpowder exploded the city wall, but the city wall did not explode. The failure of the battle.

Moreover, the city wall here is a typical rammed-earth-covered-brick city wall in Ming Dynasty. Don’t look down on the rammed-earth city wall. If it is not useful, the ancestors will not spend a lot of manpower and material resources to build it from generation to generation. This thing is used to defend against various types of projectile weapons. The strength of the strike is amazing. The earth wall can be deformed to relieve the force when it is attacked by external force. Some rammed earth walls of the Great Wall of Han Dynasty stood upright in the wind and sand even thousands of years later in Mao Jue's era.

On the contrary, Mao Jue first built the concrete city wall with wood as the core, which is far less resistant to impact than rammed earth. The hard wall is easy to collapse under stress, which is inferior to the foreign candle with the tip of the tuna.Later, with the steam engine and the substantial increase in the production of steel bars, the new reinforced concrete city walls were stronger.

And it's not just the city wall, it's a kilometer or two next to Kaiyuan City, and there are military fortresses in all directions. When Marin was guarding Kaiyuan, his troops were only [-] to [-], and he couldn't fully use the city defense. The army was no less than [-], and it was the time when Kaiyuan City's defense was at its peak, and Mao Jue had no internal support. Before he wanted to attack the city wall, he had to take down these frontier fortresses, and the peripheral battle would take a lot of time , paid a lot of blood.

"tsk"

Putting down the binoculars, Mao Jue shook his head helplessly.

"General, how are you doing?"

No matter what, he never thought that this good thing that took the lead would actually happen to him. Pang Pang Hai couldn't help coming up and asking eagerly, and the audible Mao Jue couldn't help rolling his eyes.

"What should I do? Let's make a salad!"

"Cold salad?"

"What are you doing standing still, digging trenches, besieging the city, and advancing with bombardment! Do you still use Lao Tzu to teach you?"

Inexplicably, he was slapped for a while, full of sad reminders, Pang Fatty was still muttering in his mouth while going down to do errands.

"Did you lose your temper out of nowhere? Could it be that Grandpa Jiang didn't do his job well last night, so Master Hong kicked him down? Well, it's possible!"

Unaware that his black-bellied subordinate was planning himself in his heart, Mao Jue raised his binoculars again.

Mao Jue was so anxious. As the invaded party, Qing Emperor Huang Taiji was even more furious. After the Dongjiang Army's attack formation gradually unfolded, he was holding a golden bowl in one hand and a telescope in the other. Looking at the front line, the ticking nosebleeds continued to flow into the bowl, dyeing the clear water in the bowl red.

At this time, Huang Taiji looked even more haggard than during the Songjin battle, his fat body seemed to have shrunk a lot, and the clothes that originally fitted him were drooping loosely.

The situation really made him angry. The whole battle situation was like a reenactment of the Songjin War more than a year ago, but this time the aggressive side changed from his Qing Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, and it was Mao Jue's turn to besiege the city and fight for aid. .

It is estimated that even if Nurhachi was alive, he would never have imagined that the Qing Dynasty would still be invaded from the north.If Kaiyuan were to fall, and a Tieling would not be able to last for much longer, then the Qing Dynasty would face the same problems as the Ming Dynasty. On the empty Liaohe Plain, the Shengjing Liaoyang had no danger to defend, and was directly exposed to the front of the soldiers. Before.

What's more important is that Daming just lost a piece of his Daqing, but there is really no way to retreat, retreat to the grassland?Herding sheep with those orangutan gutaiji?I dare not even think about Huang Taiji.

But after all, he is a hero, and he will never give up until now, watching the Dongjiang army through the binoculars, digging trenches like the Qing army encircling Jinzhou, first isolating Kaiyuan City, and at the same time, the Kaishi Fortress in the north was pounded by artillery fire. , I could vaguely hear the desperate roars of the soldiers fighting at the top of the city, put down the binoculars, Huang Taiji turned his head impatiently and asked.

"Is there still no movement from Jierhalang and Hu Erhan?"

The sorrow on Fan Wencheng's face almost became that of an old farmer who had suffered for hundreds of years on the Loess Plateau in the Northwest. He also bent his back with difficulty like he was a few years older.

"Back to the emperor, Big Baylor is coordinating the ministries!"

In the pupils, there was a strong murderous intent that was disproportionate to the weak body, full of gloom, and Huang Taiji growled in a low voice with a ferocious face.

"Letter to Jierharang again, I will grant him full authority, and if necessary, at all costs!"

"The slave obeys the order!"

After kowtowing heavily, Fan Wencheng turned around and walked out. Looking at Huang Taiji's thin body, the other person's eyes flickered a few times too.
