Borrow the day to change the day

Regarding the sudden escape of the Ming army, what I hate the most is not those Jianlu soldiers who just rushed to the Ming army's position, but those Jianlu soldiers who worked so hard and lost many companions to turn over from the mountain.

Seeing their companions on the road chasing after them on horseback, these soldiers waved their weapons and howled loudly.Build momentum for their companions, hoping that they can kill a few more Ming troops, which can be regarded as an outlet for them.

But amidst their howling, a burst of gunpowder smoke suddenly appeared from the official road not far away, and the nearby cavalry turned their backs on their backs and became a mess, and then heard a few loud noises.

These Jianlu quickly glanced around, but they didn't see the Ming army, let alone the artillery, so they couldn't help but looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.

Driven by General Jianlu, the cavalry who stopped because of the explosion, avoided the corpses on the official road and the injured companions who were crying and howling, and started to chase the Ming army again.

However, Jianlu's cavalry, mainly the light cavalry of the Eight Banners of Mongolia, just picked up their speed, and saw an explosion on the official road without warning, blowing up a bunch of people at once.

The Mongolian soldiers were frightened, thinking that it was God's forbearance to pursue the Ming army, they all got off their horses and worshiped in the direction of the explosion, praying for the understanding of Changshengtian.

However, the veterans in Jianlu did not believe this. Some of them had seen the Ming army use landmines before.

Therefore, even though the power of the explosion was something they had never seen before, they more or less guessed what was going on.The leader of Jianlu went to check the explosion site and found that the scene was in line with their guess.

So, they explained to the Mongolian soldiers what was going on, that the mines were made by the Ming army, not that Changshengtian was angry.

The Mongolian soldiers were urged to hurry up and chase after being half-believed.

But the fear of the Mongolian soldiers did not last long, and another explosion occurred.This time, the Mongols quit, and Jianlu had to solve this problem, otherwise they would not be able to pursue them.

Jianlu had no choice but to tell them that when they found traces of turning over and burying things on the ground, they went around, because it was very likely that the Ming army had planted landmines.

Reluctantly, Nuzhen was the master of the Mongolian soldiers, so they had no choice but to keep in mind their master's orders and start chasing again.

However, this pursuit speed cannot be compared with the previous time, not much faster than a human running.Just like this, there are still some detours from time to time, as if there are mines from the Ming army everywhere.

The speed of the pursuit was so slow, Huang Taiji soon knew about it.

He directly divided the forward Mongolian Eight Banners into five groups, and cut down the leader of that group after that group.

With this order, even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, the Mongolian soldiers will be urged to charge forward.

Although they were helpless, all the Mongolian soldiers felt a resentment in their hearts. Why didn't the Jurchen cavalry chase after them first, but used such a vicious strategy to deal with them.

This is actually wronging Huang Taiji. In the previous battles, because it was an attack position and close combat was required, most of the people Huang Taiji sent were Jurchen people.Now it's the chase, and the Mongols are better at it, so of course we have to use them.

A landmine would explode every once in a while, and in the back, not only on the official road, but even the four groups of Mongolian pursuers on both sides of the official road also encountered landmines.

This is completely the rhythm of using people to clear mines, but otherwise, there is no other way.In desperation, the Mongolian soldiers could only pray that the unlucky ghost who was bombed was not himself.

Fortunately, the Ming army did not have many landmines, otherwise the landmines alone would have tortured the pursuers to death.

However, Niutougang is only about forty miles away from Haizhou, and the cavalry can let go of their horses and run quickly, and it doesn't take much time.

But when Jianlu saw the back of the Ming army, Haizhou City was not far away.

When Zhong Jinwei saw that he was about to enter the city, he was about to be overtaken by Jianlu.He looked at the distance between the two sides, and frowned. If he entered the city regardless of Jianlu, the rear line would be directly attacked by Jianlu, and the loss might not be small.So he ordered the new army to meet the enemy.

The new army quickly formed an array, and the fusiliers covered the artillery and were ready to face the battle.Thanks to the usual speed of training formation formation, Jianlu was ready when he rushed over.

The artillery roared, and the flintlock responded, and Jianlu's forward fell a lot.The Mongolian soldiers in Jianlu didn't have the will to fight like Jurchen soldiers, and when they encountered this situation, they quickly dispersed to both sides.Just like the torrent meets the mainstay, it divides into two sides and flows through.

The Jurchen generals in the vanguard saw that the Ming army was divided into two groups, one group defended, the other retreated, and then defended on the spot. The first group retreated to Haizhou City in turn.

It is not realistic to attack the Ming army that is ready for a frontal attack.Thanks to his rich combat experience, he immediately commanded the cavalry to attack the Ming army from both wings in order to cut off the retreating Ming army.

However, when the Jianlu cavalry army tried to carry out this order, the artillery at the head of Haizhou city rang out, just enough to protect the two wings of the retreating Ming army.

Jianlu just watched the Ming army retreat into Haizhou City, and their pursuit all the way seemed to be escorting the Ming army back to Haizhou.

The slave chiefs also rushed to Haizhou City soon. Looking at the red dragon flag of the Ming Dynasty flying over the city, they knew that Haizhou City had fallen into the hands of the Ming army, and that strange firearms army had also entered the city.

A night of hard work, with heavy losses, seems to have gained nothing.Huang Taiji didn't have time to vomit blood, so he ordered Haizhou City to be surrounded, and then sent scouts around to check the situation around Haizhou City.

The soldiers of the new army had just retreated into Haizhou City, and when they knew that they had reached a safe place, their nervous expressions relaxed, and they could no longer bear the fatigue of their bodies, and all fell asleep with their heads on the side of the road.

Soldiers can do this, but Zhong Jinwei is not lucky enough to fall to the ground and sleep without thinking about anything.

He said to the three generals who came up to them: "Immediately organize people to carry the brothers to the house to sleep, otherwise they will definitely suffer from frostbite."

After finishing speaking, he immediately said to Cao Wenzhao: "Where is the man, take me to see him."

In the former official office of Ezhen in Chenggu Mountain, Haizhou, Zhong Jinwei met the imperial envoy sent by Emperor Chongzhen.

The news brought by the imperial envoy shocked Zhong Jinwei greatly. He did not expect Zheng Zhilong's failure due to his time travel, and a situation similar to the Opium War in the Manchu Qing Dynasty appeared.

But the experience of more than a year has already tempered Zhong Jinwei.Hearing this major change, he didn't panic at all.

After the imperial envoy went down, Zhong Jinwei said to the three generals who followed: "This matter has a great impact, but it will not cause substantial harm to Da Ming. Instead, it will stimulate Da Ming, the giant dragon in the east, to rise again. No need to ask for details. I can’t be wrong if I said the reason. I’m very sleepy, and I need to hurry up and arrange things.”

The three people who originally wanted to ask had no choice but to shut up and listen to Zhongxinghou's arrangements.

"First, don't let the fourth person besides you know about this matter. They only need to defend Haizhou City for the time being. We'll talk about it after the war stabilizes."

"Secondly, Zu and He Zongbing have experience in defending the city, and the defense of Haizhou City will be under the command of the two of you."

"Thirdly, all the Hongyi cannons in the car camp were removed to increase the defense of Haizhou City."

When Zhong Jinwei said this, he ordered them to do things, and he was going to rest.

Just as the three generals were leaving and preparing to go out, Zhong Jinwei's words rang again: "You have done a good job this time. You can adapt to the situation and make decisive decisions so that the new army can withdraw so early."
