377 Another 800-mile rush
Although he said that, the Jianlu leaders around him were not fools. They saw it just now, and Huang Taiji's face became very ugly.
This means that there is definitely something wrong in Haizhou!
This is just this matter, which actually surprised these Jianlu leaders.
For a long time, Jianlu has been suppressing Guanning's Ming army to fight. Jianlu has always led his troops, while Guanning's Ming army has been shrouded in Ningjinjian City.
Even though Zu Dashou led about a thousand cavalry to look down at Haizhou from a distance, he was destroyed by Jianlu.
It can be said that Jianlu has always been very strong against the Ming army in Guanning!
However, Haizhou has sent 800 miles to rush, saying that the Ming army has attacked Haizhou.
What does this mean? Haizhou must have felt that it was very dangerous and so urgently sought help. Otherwise, just like Zu Dashou last time, Haizhou City would directly dispatch troops and scare the Ming army back.
Anyway, in a word, there will definitely be a situation in Haizhou, and it will definitely be quite serious!
Thinking of this, Duoduo was not calm.
He has always had the closest relationship with Dorgon, who has the same father and mother. It can even be said that he depends on each other and overcomes difficulties again and again to get what he is today. Therefore, he may not care about others, but he is definitely very concerned about Dorgon's affairs.
If a large number of Ming troops appeared in Haizhou, then Dorgon's troops stationed in Tashan would definitely have something to do. Otherwise, the Ming army would not have appeared in Haizhou. Even if the Ming army came from the sea, if they wanted to appear in Haizhou, then there would definitely be police in Gaizhou!
Thinking of this, as soon as Huang Taiji finished speaking, he immediately spoke and asked, "Your Majesty, how is the other side of Tashan? Can you see this memorial?"
When the other Jianlu leaders heard him ask, they all pricked their ears, just want to hear what the real situation was.
However, Huang Taiji's face darkened and pointed at Pyongyang City with his fingers and shouted: "Why are you distracted when the war comes? Didn't you hear me? After this battle, I will lead the army back to teach the Guanning Army a lesson! Could it be that your Duoduo is now hard, and my words will be in the air?"
This sentence became a little heavy. Duoduo's face changed when he heard it, and he didn't dare to talk back, so he had to step down.
At the same time, he had hidden worries in his heart.
The more Huang Taiji avoided talking, the more he was worried about Dorgon's safety. Moreover, Huang Taiji was angry at him just now, and there was a vague intention to target the order in his words, which made him very uneasy.
There have always been rumors that Xian Khan originally intended that he would take over the position of Khan, but he was taken away by Huang Taiji and suppressed him. Thanks to Dorgon always standing with him, he was safe and sound until now.
At the beginning, Duoduo must have hated his heart and wanted to wait for an opportunity to ask for an explanation. However, Huang Taiji's cunning and his skillful wrists were even Manguertai and Amin, who were originally on par with Huang Taiji, were so accused by him that he went to see Xianhan. Duoduo was also afraid, so he dared to wrestle with Huang Taiji. At this time, he heard Huang Taiji's intention to target him, and was not afraid that it would be fake.
As soon as Huang Taiji said this, the others did not dare to say much when they saw Duoduo's fate. They could only turn their minds to the battle situation in front of them.
Quietly, Huang Taiji put the memorial into his sleeves and then looked up at the top of Pyongyang city, secretly glad in his heart. Fortunately, he was well prepared, and this battle would not take much time to go to Pyongyang city. Once he attacked Pyongyang, he would return immediately. There would be no trouble in Liaodong. As for North Korea, it would be the same when he came to clean up next time.
Thinking of this, suddenly a very loud noise came from the front. Looking closely, the moat had been filled for a long time, which was considered to be filled. The Korean people breathed a sigh of relief and retreated one after another, thinking that this would be enough.
However, what they did not expect was that the Jianlu, who supervised the battle, ordered them to push the catapult cart and the chariots transporting the stone bombs. It was obvious that they would not let go if they did not squeeze out the last little value of these Korean people.
Huang Taiji was naturally indifferent to this. In fact, this matter was done according to his wishes.
Next, tens of thousands of cannons should be fired at once. Even if there are no cannons, they can still flatten the Pyongyang city wall! Huang Taiji was somewhat relieved when he thought about this. Everything was going smoothly as he expected. This start was at least good!
On the top of the city, Lu Xiangsheng didn't know what was urgent for Jianlu, let alone what was urgent for the eight hundred miles. At this time, he looked grim and looked at the countless places outside the city, which was slowly moving like a beetle.
Once so many catapults are allowed to enter the effective range and start to project stone bombs, it will indeed be a huge threat to the defenders.
After looking for a while, Lu Xiangsheng thought it was almost done, so he issued a military order and said: "I passed on the military order of this official, the preparation of the red cannon, the first target, Jianlu's catapult cart, enters the effective range and can shoot freely."
Experience in the Battle of Lushun shows that it is very useful to mark the range and shooting parameters of the artillery in advance. Therefore, Lu Xiangsheng naturally would not forget this battle in Pyongyang, so he asked the artillery on the top of the city to test the cannon in advance, mark the shooting parameters, etc.
Nowadays, the number of red barbarian cannons on the top of the city is actually more than Huang Taiji predicted. They are all moved from the navy warships. Even the artillery is from the navy artillery on the warships.
However, the power of the Red Barbarian Cannon is actually not too great, and the number of enemies killed is limited. Therefore, Lu Xiangsheng did not transfer too many from the navy warship. When he saw Jianlu preparing so many catapults, it would be too late to adjust them.
Even so, Lu Xiangsheng was not very afraid. The range of the Red Cannon was far greater than that of the catapult. Therefore, if the Red Cannon was accurate enough, it would definitely destroy enough Jianlu catapults.
On the top of the city, beside the red cannon, a Ming army officer stared at the movement outside the city and suddenly shouted: "A catapult cart has entered the range of No. 1 A, put the No. 1 A medicine bag, adjust the elevation angle to the A position, prepare immediately!"
The artillery next to him immediately became nervous and busy after hearing this.
In fact, the gunpowder bag in the gun barrel was placed from the beginning, because Jianlu catapult car must have advanced to the A position. After that, other gunpowder bags such as B, C and D may have to be replaced.
These artillery soldiers are professional, even if they are transferred from naval warships, they are specialized in serving artillery, so they move very quickly. Then they do not have to wait for military orders, and the officers next to the artillery will decide to fire the artillery.
With a "boom", smoke came out of gunpowder on the top of Pyongyang for the first time.
Almost as the sound of the cannon sounded, an iron bomb roared and hit the edge of a throwing car, only about half a foot away. Then the bounced iron bomb continued to jump forward inertia.
A group of bare-armed Jianlu who were pushing the catapult cart, and the iron bullets passed by the group of people on the left. Suddenly, a bunch of people fell down, just to get it. The serious Jianlu had already broken hands and feet.
"What a pity!" On the top of the city, beside the red cannons firing, the commanding officer felt very sorry. His purpose was to destroy the catapult cart, rather than killing and killing Jianlu, and he was a little bit off.
So he immediately ordered to adjust the shooting parameters and prepare for the next round of artillery.
At the same time, on the top of Pyongyang city, the sound of artillery fired from time to time, and the sounds of the ground were like playing a piece of music. Iron bullets roared out, some deviated from their targets, and even did useless efforts, and even failed to kill a single Jianlu;
However, some iron bullets accurately hit the moving catapult cart. With a "slam" sound, the catapult cart fell apart immediately, and then injured the Jianlu who pushed the catapult cart or the Korean people who had just been rushed.
On the top of the city, the Korean soldiers were a little stunned.
In their hearts, they were all surprised at how the Ming army's artillery was so accurate?
Most of them are musketeers, and they have a good understanding of the shooting accuracy of muskets. They also know that artillery is more difficult to hit than muskets. Especially for the first artillery, the accuracy of the artillery is even more difficult. However, the artillery shooting of the Ming army in front of them can be said to be the most accurate artillery they have ever seen!
The situation observed in front of them immediately gave them a lot of confidence. The Ming army was all elite troops, and with the support of tall city walls, Jianlu might not be able to attack!
At the same time, Huang Taiji, who was watching the battle outside the city, was in the opposite mood to the Korean soldiers. The same situation he observed made him look ugly while surprised. At this time, he believed what Dai Shan reported, which showed that the military artillery was very accurate because he saw it with his own eyes.
However, he was also prepared and immediately passed on the order, and Jianlu made new movements.
On the battlefield, the tens of thousands of cavalrymen of Jianlu were all scattered, driving their horses to rush to the city of Pyongyang, and then using their cavalry bows to shoot arrows on the top of the city with their numerical advantage. The horses under their crotch kept turning a curve and quickly stayed away from the city wall.
Under the interference of the cavalry, the Jianlu infantry accelerated their pace again and approached the city wall in a mess. When they arrived at a single arrow, they shot upwards on the city head. They also did not pursue accuracy, but instead covered the city head on Pyongyang. The main focus of shooting was the section of the city wall with red cannons.
Of course, the defenders on the city wall would not allow them to shoot arrows on the city wall. Whether it was the Ming army or the Korean soldiers, the archers who shot archers, and the archers who shot, they began to fight.
On the top of the city, there are tarpaulins with arrows, etc., so they must have the advantage in terms of protection;
Under the city, Jianlu archers and cavalry archers had almost no defense measures. But they won because they had a large number of people and had a high attack intensity.
For a moment, it cannot be said that there is an advantage there.
From time to time, Jianlu was shot or shot to the ground. Although there were defenders on the top of the city, the difference between the injured ratio between the two sides was still a bit big.
However, on the top of the city, the Ming army's red cannons could not shoot freely as quickly as they were at the beginning. The speed of shelling catapults was obviously slowing down. There were still many Jianlu catapults outside the city, which were still slowly moving to the city of Pyongyang, getting closer and closer...
On the top of the city, Lu Xiangsheng was watching the scene in front of him, and he felt helpless. The slave chief Huang Taiji took the initiative. Relying on his strong military strength, he actually sent his infantry and cavalry together to use his numerical advantage to make up for their siege disadvantages and offset the artillery advantages of the Ming army. I have to say that the slave chief was cruel enough!
In this case, the battle will be hard!
When Huang Taiji saw this scene, he was relieved. Regardless of casualties, he wanted to give his trump card a chance, so that more catapults could be arranged under the city of Pyongyang. When the catapults exert their power, the Ming army on the top of the city would not last long. As long as he could quickly conquer Pyongyang City, even if the casualties were greater, it would be worth it.
At this moment, he was still very satisfied with the battle in Pyongyang in front of him.
So his mind slowly turned to Haizhou again. To be honest, he was still very worried.
At this time, he wanted to know what the real situation in Haizhou was like?
Or God wanted to satisfy his wish. Just as he was thinking, he saw a messenger rushing towards him again. Just as he saw a look, he knew that it was another eight hundred miles of speed!
This day was cloudy and the weather was not very hot. However, when Huang Taiji saw another 800-li urgent appearance, his eyes turned dark and he almost fainted.
Needless to ask, this 800-mile rush will definitely not be a good thing!
The Jianlu who was on standby in the rear, including the Jianlu leader around Huang Taiji, also saw the eye-catching 800-li urgent messenger. It was only a matter of time that there were two 800-li urgent news. This was definitely a big deal!
So, everyone seemed to have forgotten that the fierce siege was going on in front of them. They all turned their eyes to Huang Taiji, and even if they couldn't hear it, they were thinking about what was going on?
The messenger was taken to Huang Taiji and was unable to kneel down. He was supported by the yellow jacket and reported to Huang Taiji: "The Anshan Post Fort was attacked by the Ming army. It was found that it was the Cavalry Camp under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Horse Supervision of the Ming Kingdom!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
They have always thought that the Guanning Army was causing trouble. However, the elite of the Guanning Army was the Zu Family Army, which had been designed to be eliminated by them, and the leader Zu Dashou was already done. Therefore, they subconsciously believed that even if the Guanning Army caused trouble, they would not do much. After all, they had been dealing with the Guanning Army for many years and were already very familiar with it.
However, what they heard at this time was that the one who caused trouble in Liaodong was not the Guanning Army, but the Cavalry Camp from the Ming Dynasty's capital.
As for this cavalry camp, because He Renlong was sent to Jinzhou in advance, he had already known the situation of the cavalry camp through the scout war. It can be said that this cavalry camp was actually the imperial guards of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Judging from the two 800-mile rushes, could all the cavalry camps have arrived in Liaodong? Is that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty personally led the army to attack Liaodong?
When they thought of this possibility, these Jianlu suddenly became uneasy!
