Chapter 802: Princes who broke the game

On the battlefield of the Songjin Battle, the commander of the Ming army, Hong Chengchou, was held hostage by Mingguan. Two of the eight Ming army soldiers were beheaded by Mingguan. Ningyuan General Soldier Wu Sangui and Datong General Soldier Wang Pu died.

Mingguan slaughtered chickens and monkeys, and the remaining six soldiers were panicked at Mingguan. They did not dare to disobey Mingguan's orders and followed Mingguan to fight to the death with the Qing army.

Mingguan personally motivated morale, and the Qing army encountered an unprecedented counterattack by the Ming army.

Chang Yuchun personally led Guan Ning cavalry and attacked the Eight Banners Cavalry!

"How is it possible, how could Wu Sangui, the chief general of Guan Ning Tieqi, break through the first line of defense!"

Huang Taiji was pale when he learned that Guan Ning Tieqi had stepped through the defense line of the Qing army.

The Ming army commander of the Mingguan Pass was like a chicken blood, broke through the Qing army's line of defense in one fell swoop, and pounced on Huang Taiji.

The change of generals of the Ming army was not the same, but the Qing army could not resist.

Mingguan doesn’t care about the consequences at all, as long as you get the victory anyway!

So he simply killed the supervising army sent by Emperor Chongzhen, killed Ningyuan general soldier Wu Sangui, and Datong general soldier Wang Pu who advocated escape, and held Hong Chengchou with a frontal attack to forcefully attack the Qing army.

Mingguan’s method of breaking the game was simple and rude. He believed that the Ming army’s weapons were not bad, but lacked morale, so he took this group of soldiers to fight back frantically.

The two armies fought fiercely in the trench dug by the Southern Qing Army in Jinzhou City. The red-clothed artillery of the Qing Army roared, and a solid lead bullet pierced a Ming Army soldier, leaving him bloodless.

A solid bullet fell on the side of the horse at Ming Pass, and rubble splashed.

"At the end of Ming Dynasty, the times have changed..."

Mingguan’s war horse was frightened, and finally stopped the war horse.

Ming and Qing wars, matchlocks, even flintlocks, and bronze cannons have become important weapons, so this battle was also extremely difficult at Mingguan.

Fortunately, during this period, the cavalry still played an important role, and the attributes of the generals had a high bonus to the cavalry. Under the cover of the Ming Army’s artillery, Mingguan led the cavalry into a rampage, and he just tore a gap in the Qing army. The master of the Eight Banners was killed in action.

"Use red cannons to bombard the prominent cavalry of the Ming army!"

Huang Taiji led military commanders such as Jirhalang, Azig, and Aobai to attack the cavalry at Mingguan and Chang Yuchun. The artillery of the Qing army ignited the fuse and the black powder burned violently!

More than a hundred red cannons roared, and the solid bullets were shot out by the thrust generated by the black powder and fell among the Ming cavalry. From time to time, the horses of the Ming army were hit and killed instantly!

The original dense cavalry formations of the Ming army were scattered by artillery, and the cavalry around Mingguan fell, and he might die at any time!

The gunpowder is full of smoke, and the battlefield intertwined with cold weapons and firearms is even more cruel. Even the powerful generals may be killed by artillery.

Ming cavalry charged with billowing black smoke and gunpowder burning smoke. The Qing army fired a volley of armor-piercing heavy arrows, one by one, the Ming cavalry fell on the way.

If the Ming army suppressed the Qing army some time earlier, perhaps Mingguan would be easier, but at this time, the Qing army had the advantage, and the Ming army could only use flesh and blood to open a breakthrough.

"Li Chengliang, conquer the artillery positions of the Qing army!"

"Hong Chengchou, organize artillery to suppress the firearms of the Qing army!"

Mingguan successively ordered that the Battle of Songjin is completely different from the previous completely cold weapon battlefield. Artillery has strengthened the deterrent and suppressive power of the cavalry, so it is particularly important to seize the artillery position of the Qing army.

The artillery of the Ming army began to fire back. Hong Chengchou brought a lot of bronze artillery. The artillery of the two armies confronted each other. From time to time, solid bullets fell into the opposite artillery position.

Hong Chengchou was forced to command the artillery units of the Ming Army to provide support under the duress of Mingguan.

"The battle of life and death in the Ming Dynasty is here today. It must be successful!"

Hong Chengchou looked at the Qing army position on the opposite side. About 100,000 people from both sides were fighting here. Unlike the battle of Kunyang, the battle of Songjin was extremely stalemate.

The Qing army was at its peak, and the Ming army was already the Ming army in the last years of the Ming Dynasty. The Mingguan mainly relied on the 40,000 elites that he brought to break the battle. Of course, it had to rely on artillery that the Ming army did not have but owned.

The Ming Army lacked the courage to fight close and hand-to-hand, used relatively safe long-range weapons, and had the power of World War I.

Chang Yuchun and Li Chengliang brought by    Mingguan were not afraid of close hand-to-hand combat at all. Chang Yuchun even rushed to the forefront!

A Ming army cavalry killed the artillery position of the Qing army. Li Chengliang had a suppressing effect on the Jurchen tribe, defeating the Qing cavalry guarding the artillery position!

The saber held high shook the cold light, condescendingly, chopped over the artillery of the Qing army.

The artilleryman lost the protection of the cavalry and basically had no self-protection ability, and was slaughtered by Li Chengliang's cavalry.

"The power of this firearm is really great..."

Li Chengliang was amazed by the power of the Qing army's red cannon.

This type of artillery imitates the Western naval guns of the 16th and 17th centuries, and its power is no small.

Originally, the Qing army had sixty self-made red cannons. In the extremely difficult mode, the number of the Qing army’s red cannons doubled to a terrible number of 120.

It is precisely because of the suppression of the red cannon that the cavalry in Mingguan suffered heavy losses.

After the artillery position of the Qing army was captured, Mingguan broke the game, Huang Taiji lost the weapon to suppress the Ming army, and Chang Yuchun led the cavalry to assault the camp of Huang Taiji.

A large number of Eight Banners Cavalry were killed in battle, each Niu Lu was defeated, and the establishment of Huang Taiji collapsed.

"Retreat!"

Huang Taiji's heart was completely shaken. He did not expect that the Ming army was so crazy. After tens of thousands of people died and injured, and the red cannon was lost, he finally gave up the siege of Jinzhou.

The Qing army retreated like a tide and lifted the siege of Jinzhou City. The Ming army was finally relieved.

"We won? In this case, can we win?"

Hong Chengchou and the six surviving soldiers couldn't believe it. After changing the main general, Mingguan's strategy was to fight positively and defeated Huang Taiji. Maybe Huang Taiji didn't expect that the Ming army would suddenly change its style.

Mingguan looked at the battlefield of the Songjin Battlefield with corpses all over the field. In order to repel the Qing army and win the victory, he also paid a big price.

……

In the Battle of Changping, Zhao Jun repeatedly attacked Qin Jun, killing more than 100,000 people, and Qin Jun also killed tens of thousands of people. Zhao Jun never broke through the encirclement set by Bai Qi.

The Bai Qi Qin army was very aggressive, Zhao Jun could only hold on to Bai Qi, while Old Qin led some Zhao army to attack other Qin generals, exchanging casualties with the Qin army.

After Zhao Jun was besieged for thirty-two days, Bai Qi suddenly stopped the offensive, led the Qin Army to retreat, and took the initiative to give Zhao Jun a passage.

"General, the Qin army is starting to retreat, we can break through!"

Zhao Kuo was already desperate, but Qin Jun suddenly gave up attacking the army of the State of Zhao, letting Zhao Kuo die alive.

"Why did Bai Qi give up attacking us? As long as he continues to surround us, we will be wiped out sooner or later?"

Zhao Kuo was puzzled by Bai Qi's withdrawal of troops. He specifically approached Lao Qin and wanted to ask clearly how he could make Bai Qi withdraw his troops.

Old Qin said slowly: "South Korea and Wei have already intervened."

"Korea and Wei, are they enough to make King Qin retreat? These two countries have been beaten by Qin for fear..."

"South Korea and Wei are only external factors, and there are internal factors that can shake King Qin."

Old Qin looked at Zhao Kuo as if he was looking at a newcomer.

Zhao Kuo still couldn't understand: "What's the reason?"

"To annihilate the main force of the State of Zhao, Wang Lu and other things that Qin will not be able to do, but Bai Qi can easily do it, what do you think King Qin will think? Bai Qi has already made great achievements in battle, if any of them are of vital importance to Qin State All of the great battles were made with Bai Qi as the main general. From then on, the Qin army only knew that there was Bai Qi, but there was no King Qin."

"The King Qin just wants to obtain land and population from the war with Zhao. If King Zhao cedes the land, then King Qin has gained benefits in order to curb the prestige in vain, so he should withdraw his troops."

Old Qin is not merciful, anyway, King Zhao cedes the land, it is not his interests that are lost.

Zhao Kuo already understood Lao Qin’s purpose of sending Jia Xu out at this time: "This is a scheming against Qin!"

Lao Qin’s strategy is exactly the same as Qin’s prime minister Fan Sui’s divorce plan against Zhao. Fan Sui may not fail to see Jia Xu’s divorce plan, but Bai Qi’s military merits are too high. In addition, South Korea and Wei know that Zhao’s main force If they are completely wiped out, the balance between the seven heroes of the Warring States Period will be broken, and South Korea and Wei have already sent troops to attack the rear of Qin.

"Bai Qi is about to die soon, by his own hands. The higher his military merits in the Battle of Changping, the closer his death will be. This is the fate of those who have won the battle, especially if there is no substitute."

Old Qin looked at the retreating Qin army: "No matter what, the battle of Changping was broken through the vertical, horizontal, and separated strategy, which is much less difficult than the frontal repulsion of Baiqi..."

On a hill near Changping, the Saint-ranked commander Bai Qi is already aware of his awkward fate.

Qin King and Qin Xiang Fan Sui, the two asked Bai Qi to retreat. Zhao Guo ceded the city currently occupied by the Qin army and the six new cities, and Qin State had basically achieved its goal.

However, Bai Qi still sees other meanings from it.

If the main force of the Zhao State were annihilated in the Battle of Changping, the Qin army would have a certain probability to capture the Zhao State Handan and directly destroy the State of Zhao.

Bai Qi is confident to defeat the Sanjin coalition composed of South Korea, Wei, and Zhao.

However, it was that King Qin and Fan Sui were unwilling to continue the fight. They seemed to be...

When a force relies too much on a general to destroy an enemy country, then the general's skill will shake the main end...

"Fan Ju, on the grounds that the soldiers were exhausted and waiting to recuperate, asked for permission to cede the land of Zhao to seek peace. It was really a missed opportunity. After the end of the Changping War, if I got sick and resigned, could I escape? difficult."

Bai Qi thought of his future, resentful towards Prime Minister Fan Sui, but thinking that there was also the meaning of King Qin behind him, he couldn't help shaking his head.

He has fought for King Qin Zhaoxiang for more than 30 years, and his military achievements have been so impressive. With the increase in his military achievements, King Qin can no longer give Bai Qi any reward. This time is quite dangerous.

Flying birds are done, good bows are hidden; cunning rabbits die, running dogs cook.
