Chapter 10 Fleeing Without Fighting

That afternoon, Zhu Cijiu summoned all the generals to meet again, and it was still a piece of white paper or a charcoal pen. Zhu Cijiu still had a confident expression. However, the expressions of the generals below changed. They were no longer nervous, but relaxed, and some people even had a little bit of gratitude in their eyes.

In the morning, they were really unsure, for fear that the emperor would pretend to be blindly commanded. However, after a morning of battle, they found that the emperor was still cautious, at least not greedy for merit and would let them die.

Zhu Cijiu did not pay attention to their expressions. At this time, he was already so excited that no one knew the battle between hot weapons in this era. It can be seen from Huang Taiji's performance that he only thought that others would send it to eat shells, and there was no tactics for the use of artillery.

It's easy to deal with now. He can use the range advantage of the 5-inch cannon to keep rushing and rushing until Huang Taiji collapses. Of course, Huang Taiji may also be willing to gamble and charge the whole army. He is not afraid of that. There is artillery fire support behind him and flintlock rifles are constantly shooting in front of him. He will not lose more than half of his men and horses, so he will not rush to the front. When he rushes to the front of the formation, the musketeers retreat and the sword and shield soldiers are in front, the long spear soldiers and the long spear soldiers are in the back, so he can't stab him to death!

Zhu Cijiu became more and more excited the more he thought about it. He drew it directly on the white paper. This time the picture looked very similar to the one in the morning. The only difference was that the entire formation was moved forward by a hundred steps.

He hurriedly finished the sketch and said to Sun Chengzong directly: "Tao Fu, the same formation will be arranged tomorrow morning, but it will be from 600 steps away from the enemy camp to 500 steps away from the enemy camp. The cavalry does not need to go up and test it, but 15,000 cavalry will be arranged at the same time."

Sun Chengzong nodded and bowed, "I understand."

Zhu Cijiu pointed to the sword and shield soldiers and faced Sun Yuanhua, "Chuyang, tomorrow we will line up the May 18th howitzers in this position, only one row, adjust to the maximum range, and use shotguns to keep bombarding until they escape the range. The Type 417th howitzers are lined up in two rows, about 600 steps away from the enemy camp, aiming at the two hundred steps ahead of the enemy to prevent the enemy from charging suddenly."

When Sun Yuanhua heard this, his eyes lit up. The emperor was asking the artillery to make the first contribution! He quickly bowed and said, "I understand."

Zhu Cijing thought about it and felt that it should be almost done, so he threw the charcoal pen and waved his hand, "Okay, go and rest, be careful to arrange the alert, and don't be ambushed by the enemy."

The generals retreated in unison, leaving Zhu Cijiu alone standing there and laughing.

Will Huang Taiji come to attack? He won’t do that stupid thing. The Ming army has more than 200,000, and there is a fortress there. Even if some of the troops are stationed outside the fortress, so what? People put artillery on the wall and you sneak attack the barracks outside, he can still hit you.

Not only did Huang Taiji not go to sneak attacks, he also strictly guarded against the Ming army's sneak attacks. His artillery was aimed at the front. If the Ming army attacked from both sides, his artillery would be destroyed.

Neither side thought of going to sneak attack on each other, so they had a peaceful night.

The next morning, the Ming army began to set up the formation. Huang Taiji had just set up the formation and the opposite side had also completed the formation. It looked basically the same as yesterday, just moving forward a hundred steps.

Huang Taiji was determined not to rush first. He looked at the formation opposite and couldn't help but say with a pity: "Why don't you line up a little longer? Going forward a hundred steps, I keep the banging of you so hard that you are pissing off."

Of course, he could only think about it. They knew yesterday that his artillery could shoot so far, so it was naturally impossible for him to step forward a hundred steps.

He could only think about it, Zhu Cijiu was not only thinking about it, but Sun Yuanhua commanded the artillery to transport forty-two Type 518 howitzers to the back of the sword and shield soldiers, lined up, filled medicine and put ammunition on, and adjusted the range to the farthest. Everything was ready, and Zhu Cijiu ordered it.

When Huang Taiji saw that the other side had not moved for a long time, he thought they wanted to waste it again today, so he would just waste it. When Zu Dashou in Shuangtaizi Fort consumed no food, he could easily clean up the 40,000 Ming troops in the fort. At that time, hehe, he would be able to capture tens of thousands of slaves, and he would definitely make a profit without losing money.

Zhu Ciji saw Huang Taiji's relaxed expression from the telescope, and couldn't help but raise his right hand and shoot Huang Taiji, and then said loudly: "Transfer my oral orders and let Sun Yuanhua fire immediately."

When Sun Yuanhua received the oral order, he immediately shouted: "Light up, fire!"

"Shit and shit" After a burst of fuze burning, "Boom boom boom boom" a row of splash bombs cover the enemy formation like dark clouds.

Huang Taiji was leisurely holding up his telescope and staring around everywhere. Suddenly, a roar of artillery came from the opposite array. He felt that his eyes were dark. Then, "Puji", "clang", "A noisy sound came into his ears, and at least a few hundred cavalrymen in his own formation fell down!

He couldn't help but "shock" in his heart, artillery? It's still so long, how to play it?

Before he could come up with a solution, there was another roar on the opposite side, and hundreds of them fell from his formation.

All the Later Jin cavalry showed a look of fear. Although they were not afraid of death, this inexplicable way of death was really terrifying. Everyone looked at their heads nervously, for fear that an iron ball would fly over, so they would lie on the ground.

Huang Taiji was so scared that he was sweating all over. It was natural that he couldn't stand like this and eat shells. Looking at the formation opposite, would he rush up? Can such a dense defensive formation be driven away? Even if he rushes away, there are still a few people who can come back!

He hesitated for a moment, and another scoop of shots came across from him, and hundreds of people disappeared!

Huang Taiji gritted his teeth and said unwillingly: "Sentences, everyone retreated into the camp, the Huangqi and the Huangqi set up formations behind the camp gate to resist, and the others packed up the camp tent, carried the cannons onto the carriage, and prepared to retreat."

The commander scattered all over the place. After a while, all the Later Jin cavalry retreated into the camp, and then began to dismantle the camp tents and carry artillery.

When Zhu Cijiu saw this scene in the telescope, he couldn't help but say angrily: "Huang Taiji, you are shameless! If you can't beat it, you will run away. What kind of hero! Beat the drum and advance, and the musketeers approach the enemy camp two hundred steps and start to advance. Other troops maintain their formation and keep up as a whole."

The commanders scattered everywhere. After a while, the deep drum beats were heard in the formation. All the Ming troops, under the command of their respective generals, stepped on the drum beats and walked towards the Houjin camp.

The Jin soldiers of the Zhenghuang Banner and the Inlaid Yellow Banner couldn't help but hold the weapons in their hands and prepare to fight with the Ming army. Seeing that the Ming army was still two hundred steps away from the camp, a row of people rushed to the front opposite, raised the guns in their hands, and a rain of bullets flew over, and the cavalry in front immediately fell down a row.

Zhu Cijing was relieved when he saw that he had nothing to do. The ending of Chongzhen was so tragic that time he was surrounded by him. Zhu Cijing really couldn't bear to see something like that happen.
Chapter completed!
