Chapter 21 Mission Ended
"Your Majesty, no!"
"The warning signs of the change of Tu and Wood are not far away."
"Wang Cheng'en, you treacherous!"
"Please think twice."
Outside Zhengyang Gate, many red and green officials fell to the army and cried and wailed, stopping Wang Xiao from letting him leave the capital.
Since the news of Huang Taiji entering the pass came, Wang Xiao, who had been waiting for a long time, arranged for Sun Chengzong to supervise government affairs and Zhang Weixian to control the city defense. He himself took the new army out of the city to fight.
The civil officials who received the news were frightened and rushed over to try to persuade Wang Xiao not to take risks.
The most intuitive example they quoted is the Tumu Fort Incident.
The civil officials said that they could issue an edict to serve the kings in all parts of the world. As soon as the army arrived, the Qing army and horses would naturally retreat without fighting.
Wang Xiao sneered at this statement.
What’s wrong with retreating without fighting? It’s not that others have robbed enough and left by themselves after they have enough. Don’t just gild yourself on your face if you’re fine.
For Wang Xiao, the Qing Dynasty is as powerful as it is a few years later. Now is the best time to defeat them.
At this time, North Korea had not been conquered by the Qing Dynasty, and Dongjiang Town was still involved in the power of the Qing Dynasty. Lin Danhan from Mongolia was still persevering in opposition to Huang Taiji before he died. His wives did not rush to take the tribe cattle and sheep to join Huang Taiji.
This is the best time, and Wang Xiao is unwilling to miss it.
"Emperor Yiwei comes forward and all of them are set aside." Wang Xiao was not in the mood to play these tricks with these big headscarves, so he asked the Emperor Yiwei to clear the road and immediately rush out.
Sun Chuanting's new army had 30,000 people, and in addition to musketeers, there were more than 200 artillery pieces.
In addition, there were soldiers of Cao Wenzhao's uncle and nephew, Zhao Shujiao, Man Gui and others. The total force was close to 50,000.
This was the most powerful legion of the Ming Dynasty at this time. Under the leadership of Wang Xiao, who was in charge of the army, he rushed straight to Zunhua and left.
After entering the Qing Dynasty, the movement was very fast, and in less than ten days, the troops were already at the city of Zunhua.
In history, Zhao led his troops to rescue him, but his entire army was wiped out under Zunhua City. Many civil and military officials in the city defended the city, and the city was destroyed. The decisive battle site of Wang Xiao planned was under Zunhua City.
Huang Taiji, who received the news, summoned everyone to discuss. Many Beile and Mongolian Taiji all agreed to fight this battle because they also knew about the Tumubao Incident.
Not long after Huang Taiji ascended the throne, the Qing Dynasty was still the era when the four great benevolents sat together.
Although he was suspicious of why Wang Xiao had the courage to fight, he had just entered the pass and had not grabbed any good things, and if he retreated, he would not be able to control the situation.
After some discussion, Huang Taiji summoned all troops and horses to gather at Zunhua City to prepare for a decisive battle with Wang Xiao.
The Qing Dynasty and Mongolian coalition forces were full of confidence because they had never lost the field battle with the Ming army after the Battle of Hunhe.
Not to mention 50,000 people, more troops have been defeated.
The Qing Dynasty had a lot of troops, with a total of 70,000 or 80,000 troops. Both sides formed a formation outside Zunhua City, and looked from the top of the city and covered their vision.
The Qing soldiers' combat thinking was very simple. First, they used cannon fodder to consume the medicine of the Ming army's muskets and cannons, then they rushed to the formation and opened the gap to defeat the Ming army, and finally the cavalry followed up to charge and reap the results.
The tactics are not complicated, but they did win many battles when fighting against the Ming army. The Later Jin soldiers and horses under Zunhua City also did the same.
In the past, these cannon fodders were used to catch people from all over the world, but they have just entered the pass and it is still this time, so they have not been able to catch many people. The cannon fodders have to be served by the Mongolians and those coat slaves.
They said they were allies, but in fact, from the Qing Dynasty, there was no difference between the Mongolians and the Cougars.
Thousands of cannon fodders lined up in loose formations and slowly walked towards the Ming army formation, followed by elite armored soldiers preparing to rush forward.
Seeing the Ming army opposite, he set off firecrackers from a distance. Huang Taiji, who was bloated, smiled and waved his horse whip, "But that's it."
Everything in front of me was no different from when I was fighting with the Ming army in the past. I started to shoot out the firearms from afar, and when I was really close, I became useless waste. Huang Taiji, who was a little nervous before, finally fell into his stomach.
Then, the heart was raised again.
After adopting new technology and a new regulatory system, the quality of the firearms used by the Ming army soared to an unprecedented level.
Perhaps it is not as terrifying as Qin Shi, but the quality has definitely been greatly improved.
The new artillery not only shoots far, but also has a significantly improved lifespan. Even if there are no flowering bullets, the casualties of the cannon fodders will rise rapidly after firing rounds of 200 artillery pieces.
Huang Taiji, who was watching the battle behind, looked at the gaze of the cannon fodder queue. After a while, he could no longer help but wave his whip and shout assault.
The supervising team used sharp blades and bows to force the cannon fodders to speed up and run forward, and the elite Eight Banners following also raised their shields and soldiers to prepare for a decisive charge.
The Eight Banners Cavalry and Mongolian Cavalry are essentially light cavalry, and their combat methods are not heavy armor rushing or light cavalry guerrillas. Their main combat methods are to ride a horse and then dismount, throw a wave of axes and hammers, and then walk directly to the formation with the strong armor.
The cannon fodders at the moment were finally dispersed, and tens of thousands of elite troops drawn from the Eight Banners faced the thick and dense array of musketeers.
In the past many wars, tens of thousands of elite soldiers in armor were enough to defeat these Ming troops. But now they are facing an army that truly completes modern training and equipment.
The musketeers in the front row raised their guns and aimed at them, firing at the command of the drum.
After shooting, no one will confirm the results, but will turn around and walk towards the back of the queue, and start reloading at the same time.
The second row followed, and after shooting, they also turned around and walked towards the queue. Then there was the third row and the fourth row.
This is spiral shooting, which can maintain the density and speed of firepower delivery to a great extent. If you don’t use powerful artillery to destroy it at a long range, you will be completely invincible in the face of the army in the era of cold weapons.
During the Battle of Baliqiao, the Mongolian Qing cavalry, who had never had the courage to do so, launched a crazy charge. But in the end, they were defeated in the face of intensive musket shooting.
The Mongolian and Qing dynasties lost countless troops, while the British and French coalition forces only died in battle.
This is the real combat power comparison between the modern firearm army and the army in the cold weapon era.
Faced with the continuous and intensive attacks, the elite troops who rushed to the formation fell to the ground in pieces like harvesting wheat.
Their proud martial arts had no chance to be used. They claimed that they had been unscathed by dozens of arrows and were not much stronger than paper in front of musket lead bullets.
Huang Taiji, who saw this scene behind, vomited blood directly.
Faced with everyone's persuasion, he temporarily retreated and waited for a solution to persuade him in the future. Huang Taiji, with a ferocious face, waved his whip and whipped him randomly.
"There is no future! If we cannot defeat them today, we will all die without a burial place!"
I have to say that Huang Taiji has a good strategic vision.
He could see the terribleness of the troops in front of him. Once he retreated, he would inevitably retreat again and again until there was no way out.
Instead of waiting for the city of Shengyang to be surrounded by many artillery, it is better to fight to the death now.
The Qing Dynasty's thinking was still the kind of bandit group, and it would run away if it could not be beaten. Only Huang Taiji had a strategic vision and knew that he could not retreat at all. If he retreated, he would just survive.
With his prestige and skills, Huang Taiji, who made up his mind, successfully convinced everyone to fight to the death like in the Battle of Hunhe.
After mobilizing again, the Mongolians and the coated slaves rode on horseback as cannon fodder and began to rush. Following were the Eight Banners soldiers.
Huang Taiji saw that the Ming munitions fired at a fast speed, so he gave up walking rushing and changed to a direct cavalry rushing.
Although they had already mustered up the greatest courage, even many Mongolian Taiji, Qing Dynasty Beilebeizi and others went on the battle personally, but the result was still not changed at all.
In the face of the hot lead bullet, everyone is equal.
As San Beilemanguertai was beaten into a sieve and fell from the horse's back, the Later Jin soldiers who had fought for a long time could no longer withstand it.
The Later Jin soldiers, who claimed to be invincible, fled all over the mountains and fields. They threw away their weapons and took off their armor. They hated their parents for giving birth to two legs and rushed towards the north like crazy.
Wang Xiao put down the monocular lens in his hand and looked at the many eager generals around him, "It's your turn to get on."
Man Gui, Cao Wenzhao, Lu Xiangsheng, Zhao Lujiao and others all responded loudly.
They led tens of thousands of extremely excited Ming cavalry to attack from behind the musketeers, sweeping across the entire battlefield like a wind storm.
At the same time, the Ming army in Zunhua City also opened the city gate and killed them to intercept the fleeing Later Jin soldiers.
Wang Xiao did not continue to watch the battle later because the overall situation was decided.
Entering Zunhua City, Wang Xiao went straight to rest and wait for the reward of the results.
It was not until the next day that the excited cavalry returned one after another.
This time, the Qing Dynasty encountered a devastating blow, and no one in ten people were able to escape. Almost all the many Beilezis from Huang Taiji were spared, either died in battle or were captured.
The main male who relied on survival in the Qing Dynasty was almost gone in one battle.
The reason why it was so miserable was that after the Guanning Army received the news, it immediately sent troops to beat the fallen dog, and chased the gate from the gate to the city of Shengyang. It happily asked the court for rewards.
Wang Xiao left Sun Chuanting as the Liaodong commander and took the new army of Shenjiying out of seclusion to sweep the Qing Dynasty.
The Qing Dynasty, who had lost most of the young and strong men and almost all the high-ranking officials, was completely wiped out in just a few months. A few fugitives fled into the mountains and forests and dared not come out for more than a hundred years.
Sun Chuanting, who returned from Liaodong, served as the governor of five provinces and led the new army to wipe out all refugees.
Following them was a huge military farming army, planting high-yield crops such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn. By the harvest season, refugees from all over the country disappeared almost instantly.
With food, you can fill your stomach and have fields to cultivate. No one is willing to be a refugee who is in danger.
On this day, Wang Xiao watched Lu Xiangsheng send a memorial to Japan to send a fleet to discuss the purchase of grain and opening the door with the Tokugawa shogunate. He wrote on it that the entire fleet was painted black paint and hung black flags, and went as the black ship fleet.
Satisfied Wang Xiao went to find Hokzai, but suddenly received a system notification that had disappeared for a long time.
"Hoksai's wish has been fulfilled, and the executor can choose to return to the main world. Repatriation will be forced for more than twenty-four hours."
Wang Xiao stopped and finally recalled that he was a systematic man.
Hoksai prayed to relieve the internal and external troubles of the Ming Dynasty, and it has been achieved at this time. Now it is time to leave.
