Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 644 The decisive battle in the grassland, the mighty Ming army

"Let General Zhou not hold up torches, sneak into the camp while it is dark, and not disturb Huang Taiji!"

After the excitement, Cao Wenzhao immediately reacted.

The officer immediately went back to report, and he was going to lead Zhou Yuji's [-] troops into the camp.

Soon, the entire barracks got the news that the imperial court did not give up on everyone, and the imperial court's reinforcements had arrived!

After receiving this news, the soldiers of the entire barracks immediately changed their mentality. The original atmosphere of mourning soldiers dissipated, and turned into courage and determination to win.

Only 3 people blocked the [-] Manchu and Mongolian coalition forces, and now there are [-] imperial troops coming with a large amount of firearms and supplies, so how difficult is it to defeat Huang Taiji? !

In the middle of the night, [-] new troops entered the camp at night. When Cao Wenzhao saw Zhou Yuji, he immediately stepped forward and hugged him tightly: "Good brother!"

"If you don't come again, we will fight to the death tomorrow."

Zhou Yuji said with a smile: "You are showing off on the grassland, how can I not come to help you?"

"If it wasn't for the firearms of the Fifth Army Battalion, I would have arrived a day earlier."

Cao Wenzhao quickly asked, "How many firearms did you bring?"

Zhou Yuji smiled and said, "In order to march quickly, we didn't bring heavy artillery, but we brought enough shells and gunpowder for you. At the same time, there are [-] vehicles of rocket supplies from a group of leopards running around, and a total of [-] rounds of fire dragon bullets!"

"I brought you half of the family property of the Beijing camp!"

"Not only that, but there are also ten thousand brothers from the Fifth Army Battalion!"

After hearing this, Cao Wenzhao breathed a long sigh of relief: "Fifty truckloads of rocket supplies, [-] rounds of Fire Dragon bombs, and [-] soldiers from the military camp."

"We can win this battle!"

With that said, Cao Wenzhao ordered all the generals to get together quickly.

Soon the generals and lieutenants from all ministries arrived, and everyone surrounded the map on the carpet in the middle of the big tent. Cao Wenzhao used his saber as a baton: "Now, we are facing Huang Taiji's Manchurian and Mongolian allied forces."

"After three days of consumption, there should be only 8 Manchu-Mongolian coalition forces on the opposite side. Among them, the [-] Manchu and Qing Eight Banners were not damaged, while the Mongolian soldiers were seriously injured. It can be said that our strength is almost equal to that of Huang Taiji. "

"Tomorrow, Huang Taiji will definitely think that our firearms are exhausted, and he will fight our army in a decisive battle."

"On the contrary, Huang Taiji must still be dominated by Mongolian soldiers, consuming our army's firepower."

"Huaiyuan General Li Zhao, Mingwei General Zhao Guangli."

The second will be listed: "The end will be."

Cao Wenzhao pointed his sword at the left: "The two of you lead your troops to face the enemy on the right."

Li Zhao and Zhao Guangli said in unison: "The last general takes orders!"

Cao Wenzhao continued: "General Dingyuan Wang Lin, General Guangwei Han Wu."

The second will be listed: "The end will be."

Cao Wenzhao pointed his sword at the right: "The two of you lead your troops to face the enemy on the left."

Wang Lin and Han Wu said in unison: "The last general takes orders."

Cao Wenzhao said again: "Xuanwu General Zhang Yi, Xianwu General Huang Hua."

The second will be listed: "The end will be."

Cao Wenzhao pointed to the Chinese army: "You two lead the firearm battalion and infantry to the Chinese army to face the enemy."

Zhang Yi and Huang Hua said in unison: "The last general takes orders."

Cao Wenzhao added: "General Zhaoyi Zhou Yuji, and General Xinwu Yanfei are leading the five battalions to the central army to stand by."

Zhou Yuji and Yan Fei also said in unison: "The last general takes orders."

Cao Wenzhao looked at the generals, took a deep breath, his eyes were firm, and his tone was decisive: "Brothers, tomorrow's battle will be a battle that has never been seen in the imperial court in a hundred years. This victory, I, the Ming King, will come to the grassland. name."

As he spoke, Cao Wenzhao clenched his fist with his right hand and struck at the armor on his chest: "The Ming army will surely win!"

All the generals also clenched their fists and lashed out at the iron armor on their chests: "The Ming army will surely win!"

The next day, early in the morning.

The cold wind in early spring blows on the disfigured pastures that have been devastated by the war. In the three-day war, both sides fired firearms and trampled on horseshoes. There were traces of plowing, and there were dark red silts in some places, which were obviously soaked in blood.

This grassland is now dilapidated, but after this battle is over, the grassland moistened by blood will not be long before it becomes lush again.

Accompanied by the sound of the simple horn, the two sides set out to form a camp and set up a formation.

Huang Taiji obviously sent troops with the certainty of victory. Except for more than 7 disabled, he pulled out more than [-] troops. It can be said that the whole army attacked.

Looking around, the front is full of shield vehicles and shields, and Mongolian flags and pennants of the Manchu Eight Banners are constantly blowing in the cold wind. The desolate horns make this pasture full of chilling air again.

Row after row of Mongolian soldiers and horses stood in an endless line of sight, and the army of more than 7 people reached the sky, mighty and mighty, and appeared so powerful and unstoppable when they came out in full force.

At the same time, Cao Wenzhao also set up his formation, with [-] Ming army infantry in front, [-] Mongolian cavalry on each side, and [-] barracks cavalry behind.

The 3 troops passed by his formation, which looked similar to more than [-] people.

Don't think that if there are too many people, you can distinguish clearly.

In fact, for 3 people and 5 people, if you stand loosely, you will see more, and if you stand close together, you will see less. Without the advantage of being condescending, it is difficult to see how many people are on the opposite side through the observation tower. It is generally judged by pre-war information, military flags, and stoves.

But the breakfast served by Cao Wenzhao was really a stove for 3 people, but the food was for 5 people. Everyone was full and full. Cao Wenzhao even shared drinks with the soldiers, in order to muster blood and courage to win This battle.

Cao Wenzhao rode his horse to the front of the formation, looking at the vermilion flags of the Ming army, the sound of the mountains, rivers, sun and moon flags blowing in the wind made his heart surge.

Pulling out his saber, Cao Wenzhao shouted loudly: "The Ming army is mighty!"

The soldiers responded in unison: "The Ming army is mighty!"

"The Ming army is mighty!"

The Ming army shouted in unison, making Huang Taiji vigilant: "These Ming troops seem to be going to fight us to the death."

"Let the Mongols take the lead for a while."

dong dong dong dong!

The drums sounded, and the Mongolian soldiers reluctantly pushed the shield chariots on the pasture where the gunpowder smoke remained, holding their shields and began to charge. This time, the Eight Banners soldiers really followed behind.

A full [-] banners cloth armor followed behind the Mongolian soldiers, under the cover of shields and shield chariots, holding a bow in one hand and twirling arrows in the other, preparing to rain arrows on the Ming army.

Seeing the Mongolian soldiers advancing step by step, Cao Wenzhao, who had already returned to the general platform, immediately ordered: "Command the Chinese army, the general will open fire, mainly attacking the enemy's shield car shield."

After receiving the order, General Huang Hua immediately ordered: "General Shenwei, fire!"

The fuzes of the general cannons were ignited by the gunners, and accompanied by deafening roars, the cannons of the generals spit out flames, and the bullets flew out one after another, drawing an arc, falling into the middle of the Mongolian army and then exploding .

Boom boom boom boom!
Explosions continued one after another, and where the flames exploded, the screams and wailing of the Mongolian soldiers came one after another.

A shell directly hit the shield car and exploded, and the flower bomb exploded instantly. The flames engulfed the shield car and the surrounding Mongolian soldiers. The shield car fell apart and ignited flames, and the surrounding Mongolian soldiers also fell down.

Some artillery shells directly crossed the shield vehicle and exploded behind. As the flames rose, a dozen Mongolian soldiers flew out without a sound.

Huang Taiji looked at the consumption of the Mongolian soldiers with cold eyes, and said, "Let our artillery fire to interfere with the artillery of the Ming army on the opposite side."

The artillerymen of the Eight Banners also opened fire. The heavy and old artillery fired and fired solid projectiles. However, due to the distance, these projectiles often smashed holes in the ground and lost their power when they fell in front of the Ming army. .

The gunners of the Ming army didn't have time to care about these solid shells. They cleaned the barrel of the cannon with their shirts off, brought water to cool the cannon, and then refilled the gunpowder, reloaded, and fired.

It was obviously a cold morning in early spring, but the gunners were working hard, sweating profusely.

Cannonballs from both sides kept coming and going, but basically they all exploded in the Mongolian soldiers. These Mongolian soldiers who followed Huang Taiji were a terrible crime. They were not only suppressed by the firepower of the Ming army, but also forced to move forward by the Eight Banners soldiers behind them. You will be accidentally injured by your own shells.

But even so, the Mongolian soldiers rushed to the vicinity of the Ming army's formation.

The Eight Banners cloth armor hidden behind the Mongolian soldiers immediately opened their bows and set up arrows, and shot out clusters of arrows from an elevation angle.

At the same time, the musketeers of the Ming army opened fire, and the crackling musket sound accompanied by a dense barrage hit the Mongolian soldiers who had already begun to charge.

And the Eight Banners soldiers were not trying to hide it at this time. They charged and shot arrows at the same time, shooting out clusters of arrows.

Under the dense cluster of arrows, the musketeers of the Ming army were too suppressed to raise their heads easily.

Cao Wenzhao ordered very calmly: "Let the musketeer lean over and fire the dragon bullets."

As the military order was issued, the fire dragon bombs that had been placed on the ground were ignited one after another. With the piercing sound of chirping, the fire dragon bombs shot out with long tail flames and gunpowder smoke, directly hitting the charging ground. The Eight Banners exploded!

With a bang, the Mongolian soldiers and Eight Banners soldiers who rushed to the front were directly blown out. Looking again, the cotton and leather armor in front of them had been blown apart, and their chests were scorched black, covered with bloodstains.

And after this voice appeared on the battlefield, it was immediately followed by a series of sounds.

Tweet!Tweet!Tweet!Tweet!
Familiar sound, familiar tail flame, familiar explosion.

Seeing the destroyed shield chariots, seeing the Mongolian soldiers and Eight Banners disciples who rushed up and were blown back, Huang Taiji couldn't help but clenched his whip tightly: "It's the rockets of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Fourteenth brother, let the Mongols continue to charge. The Ming army is using the last hole card. They don't have many rockets, at most one or two rounds, just let the Mongols charge up!"

Dorgon said: "Your brother understands!"

Soon, Dorgon led his white-flag vest soldiers to lead the formation. A few Mongolian soldiers saw that the situation was not good and wanted to run away, but Dorgon cut off their heads directly. The white-flag vest soldiers followed their masters into the formation Cut off the heads of the Mongolian soldiers who wanted to escape one by one.

As expected of the Eight Banners of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, they have killed many of their own people before killing the enemy.

Dorgon raised his knife and shouted loudly: "Don't retreat! Go up! Go up!"

"Minggou doesn't have many rockets, rush up and win!"

Seeing that Dorgon led the crowd to force him to be cannon fodder, the Mongolian leaders gritted their teeth with hatred, but they still had to let the tribesmen continue to attack.

Dorgon continued to bring his Zhengbai flag vest to press the formation, and the blinded infantry were forced to bear the terrible attack flames of the fire dragon bullets and began to charge forward.

Cao Wenzhao's expression was extremely calm: "Give the order, and the tiger crouching cannon and the mother-child cannon will fire, completely destroying their morale."

General Xuanwu Zhang Yi waved his command flag: "Fire! Fire!"

A series of cannons, tiger squatting cannons fired together, and the smoke filled the air for a while, and the flames burst into flames!

Countless cannonballs flew out, coupled with the volley of fire dragon bullets and musketeers, the barrage like a torrential rain completely suppressed the charge of the Mongolian infantry.

Explosions, roars, screams, and the crackling of flintlock guns.
Countless cannonballs and guns came pouring down. The Mongolian soldiers and Eight Banners soldiers rushing forward could not stop such ferocious firepower even with shields. The shields were shattered and the guns entered their bodies. On the ground, the one who was hit in the neck and heart directly groaned and vomited blood before losing his breath.

Those who were hit in the arms and legs, whose arms were cut off by shells, and whose legs were broken by the explosion could only lie on the ground holding their stumps that could not stop the bleeding and howling and crying miserably.

Such a scene greatly stimulated the Mongols, they were really consumed by Huang Taiji as cannon fodder!

So far, the main force of the Eight Banners soldiers has not been dispatched!

A leader couldn't help but rushed in front of Huang Taiji: "Emperor Qing! Do you really want to watch our people be exhausted by the Ming army?!"

Just as Duoduo was about to move his sword, he was stopped by Huang Taiji. He also knew that these Mongols had reached their limit, so he smiled calmly, and Huang Taiji said: "Brothers, you have worked hard. Next, let's see how powerful I am on the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty!"

As he said that, Huang Taiji waved his hand, and with the sound of the horn, groups of eight-banner vests came out. They wore cotton armor and held the eight-banner triangular dragon flag. It's a full run!

The [-] Eight Banners vest soldiers launched a charge!

Huang Taiji said confidently: "This time, the Ming army can't stop my Qing cavalry!"

The [-] and Eight Banners vests launched a charge when the Ming army's firearms were exhausted. The horses galloped and neighed. Under the stimulation of the monsters, one by one screamed and launched a charge.

Cao Wenzhao watched Huang Taiji finally mobilize the Eight Banners soldiers with cold eyes, and couldn't help but smile: "We've finally waited for this moment."

"Order, the group of leopards will run horizontally and shoot a volley of arrows, three rounds."

"promise!"

Soon, the side boxes of the leopards running across the arrow carriages that had been prepared a long time ago were opened, revealing the rows of dark holes.

"emission!"

Accompanied by the roar of Huang Hua, the military general, the sharp and piercing sound of squeaks resounded on the battlefield again.

This time, it was countless groups of leopards running wildly!
As a special rocket against cavalry, a Leopard Strolling Arrow rocket car can launch 48 rockets, and fifty Leopard Strolling Arrows can shoot [-] rockets at once!
The pungent gunpowder smoke filled the air, and when countless flames flickered, rockets rushed into the Eight Banners cavalry and exploded!

Boom boom boom!

This intensive explosion turned the Eight Banners vests directly on their backs. These Eight Banners vests who charged thought they had the chance to win, and they couldn't help but rush forward to chop off a few Minggou's heads. Unexpectedly, they ushered in But it's a group of leopards running arrows!

The roaring rockets are densely packed, as if they are endless, after a round of shooting, just change the carriage and continue launching!
Three rounds of volley, but the effort of half a stick of incense, the Ming army fired three rounds, a total of [-] rockets, these rockets were submerged in the Eight Banners vest, exploded, penetrated, countless Eight Banners vest fell off the horse, and the momentum of the charge was immediate. Interrupted!
When the three rounds of rocket salvos were completed, less than half of the [-] charged Eight Banners vests remained!

Tens of thousands of Eight Banners vests not only died under the rocket explosion, but also died under the horses startled by the rockets. The horses broke their hooves and rolled, and the people were naturally thrown out. Before they got up, the horseshoes behind them Just step on it.

Coupled with countless gunpowder smoke, explosions and flames, the panicked Eight Banners soldiers lost their command and became a mess. Tens of thousands of people were lost on the battlefield.

When the gunpowder smoke dissipated, Huang Taiji looked at the Eight Banners soldiers who were more than half damaged, dumbfounded and speechless.

A wordless fear filled the hearts of the Manchurian and Mongolian allied forces: For four days, they have been suffering casualties, but they have never been able to rush to the front of the Ming army. Can they really defeat the Ming army?

Now such a large number of casualties are once again before our eyes. Tens of thousands of Eight Banners vests and countless Mongols have fallen on the battlefield. The entire battlefield is covered in gunpowder smoke and blood. Broken swords and broken flags, and from time to time, wounded soldiers who were blown off their hands and feet, lay in pools of blood and the corpses of their comrades, howling mournfully.

Fear has shrouded the Manchurian and Mongolian allied forces, and this wave of leopards running wildly has completely destroyed the last confidence of the Manchurian and Mongolian allied forces!

After Cao Wenzhao saw that the remaining Eight Banners soldiers and Mongolian soldiers were at a loss and lost their command, he immediately ordered: "Order the two wings to dispatch and cut off their heads and tails!"

Li Zhao, Wang Lin, Zhao Guangli, and Han Wu immediately led their troops to attack. The [-] Mongolian cavalry had already held their breath. They held up the banner of the Ming army, waved their swords, and followed their generals to attack from left and right, pinching their heads and tails. , forming an encirclement to Huang Taiji.

Cao Wenzhao continued to issue orders: "The Firearms Battalion continues to fire, and the artillery fire extends to the Huang Taiji Central Army!"

Huang Hua and Zhang Yi, who received the order, also continued to order to fire. The general's cannon increased the elevation angle, and fired at the position of Huang Taiji's middle army. The shells rolled and fell in arcs and exploded around Huang Taiji's middle army. The central army of Huang Taiji was in chaos!

The Mongol leaders broke out. They were squeezed by Huang Taiji, sucked blood, and used as cannon fodder, in order to win the territory of survival, win the cattle and sheep, and win the herdsmen!
The results of it?
They were first sucked blood by Huang Taiji and devoured the tribe's cattle and sheep, and then used as cannon fodder by Huang Taiji to spend four days on the battlefield, but Huang Taiji did not win, and his Eight Banners also lost!
Lost, lost all!

The Mongolian leaders watched Huang Taiji draw out their swords angrily: "People, Huang Taiji deceived us, he just wants us to die, and fights with Huang Taiji!"

After being suppressed for four full days, the Mongols, full of resentment and anger, drew their swords and turned to attack Huang Taiji and the surrounding Eight Banners soldiers. Huang Taiji's central army was in chaos!
Cao Wenzhao looked at the flames and the chaotic Huang Taiji Central Army issued the final order:

"The Fifth Army Battalion dispatched to take advantage of his illness and kill him!"
