Griffin Commander in the Late Ming Dynasty

Long objects trailed extremely thin lines of smoke across the sky, rising into the air with a whistling sound as they tore through the air, flying towards the two white flags gathered together.

Huang Taiji's heart trembled, and he stared at it in amazement, "What is this?"

"They really do have a backup plan!" Hong Chengchou's face changed drastically and turned pale as paper. I knew that this group of people had really set a trap card!

Although he didn't know what the long thick stick that flashed across the sky was, he knew that his family would definitely be in big trouble!

Long-range ground-to-ground missiles are specifically designed to kill personnel and vehicles, and the ones equipped with these new gadgets are naturally the mecha units Equis from the military. Doesn't this thing sound abstract? Equis is a divine weapon in ancient Greek mythology, with two sides. In the hands of Zeus, it is the Aegis, and even Zeus's thunder can't hurt it at all. Athena also has an Equis in her hand, but unlike Zeus, who is just an old bastard with armor stacked on top of him, Athena is much more martial. Her shield is engraved with fear, battle, brutality, and tracking on all four sides, and there is also a Medusa's head in the middle. Anyone who sees this shield will turn into a fossil. Khorne saw it and called him an expert.

Through the prototype, everyone can understand the design of Equis. The Aegis missile defense system and the fire tracking unit are quite simple and crude.

It had not been released before, mainly because there was no rigid need for an attack. This time, since they were going to attack Shanhaiguan, which was known as the number one pass, Jiang Han naturally took out this powerful weapon.

With a long whistle, the missile fell heavily on the area where the cavalry were densely populated, and then a large amount of smoke spread.

The launcher of the Equis missile launch system usually has only two missiles. The small amount of ammunition brings strong destructive power to a single shot. The warhead of the Equis missile is charged with up to 450 kilograms of explosives, which can completely destroy a military fortification and a surface ship with one shot. It can even carry a nuclear warhead, but it is not necessary for Jiang Han. After all, it is still in the country. The mushroom egg thing should naturally be left to the person who needs it the most. Jiang Han already has a suitable candidate in mind.

Since the enemy is basically composed of soldiers, the warhead carried by the Equis's combat unit is a fuel-air explosive bomb specifically designed to kill personnel.

Originally, these cavalrymen were still terrified by the huge rockets coming from the sky, but they didn't expect that the thunder was loud but the rain was small, and it would emit smoke when it fell to the ground. These southern barbarians were really incompetent.

Some people who were closer had already inhaled the strange smoke, which was quite pungent and caused many people to cough.

"Oh no, these guys are playing dirty tricks!!"

With a loud bang, four missiles smashed into the crowd of people with two yellow flags and fell to the ground, and immediately a large amount of thick smoke filled the air.

The air was filled with thick smoke, and the flagmen of the two yellow flags were so smoked that they lost their way. The thick smoke made it difficult for them to breathe and they kept coughing.

"Sir, the Ming army is using poisonous smoke bombs!"

"I know!"

Aobai was surrounded by thick smoke and was panicked for a moment. He inhaled a lot of smoke. Although he had no symptoms at the moment, who would want to touch poison?

However, this thing is not poisonous smoke...it is pure ethylene oxide fuel. It is definitely pungent, but its true lethality is about to be revealed to everyone.

Ding

After a brief and quiet pause, when a large amount of fuel and air were fully integrated, the missile's primer was fired.

In an instant, accompanied by extremely loud and violent noises, four mushroom clouds instantly rose above the ground. The high temperature and explosive combustion caused almost no people or animals to be left within 150 meters of the explosion center. They were directly roasted into charcoal by the flames and high temperature. Beyond that, the drifting clouds were inhaled into the lungs of the cavalrymen, and after being detonated, they began to burn in the human body. Many people grabbed their necks, feeling the same pain as if their chests were burning. They scratched their necks in pain, but could not reduce the pain in the slightest. In fact, they felt right, their lungs were already on fire.

Not only that, the huge impact force caused the internal organs of the soldiers on the periphery to be shattered, and they were bleeding from all seven orifices on the spot and unable to get up. After the explosion, those lucky ones who survived by chance would also face a huge problem.

Hypoxia.

The huge high temperature and burning of the fuel-air bomb instantly consumed all the oxygen near the center of the explosion. The Qing cavalrymen trapped in it could not even breathe a breath of breathable air. The pain of suffocation made them fall to the ground with red faces and open mouths, but they could not breathe in any oxygen to survive.

Brutal, terrifying, and highly efficient, this is the power of modern weapons. When it comes to destroying themselves, humans are very professional. Who could have guessed that this stuff was originally created by the U.S. military because there were too many trees in Vietnam and they wanted to burn some to create landing sites for their own helicopters?

As a result, when the trees were half burned, I found that this thing seemed to be more effective against those talking trees. Since they were all trees, I decided to burn them all together.

The soldiers of the Two Yellow Flags lost thousands of men in an instant under the baptism of these three fuel-air bombs. The explosion range of the three fuel-air bombs covered an area as large as ten football fields. In this area, a large number of cavalrymen fell down, all of them died on the spot, without any visible wounds on their bodies.

If it weren't for this strange situation and this horrifying scene, the two yellow flags that rushed up would have run away like rabbits and didn't dare to stay for long.

The two yellow flags of the Qing army that came to seek revenge were already in chaos, and they fled in all directions in a hurry.

However, the volunteers had anticipated this situation, and the heavy artillery began to spray flames again. Huge shells hit the rear of the Qing army camp, with constant roars and screams.

"How can we fight this?"

The eyelids of the Qing dynasty's princes and ministers twitched. Although they could not see clearly what happened behind the two yellow flags, when they saw the huge mushroom cloud rising up, three words appeared in everyone's mind: Simata.

Hong Chengchou opened his mouth slightly, looking at the huge mushroom in the air, and said after a long while: "The Qing Dynasty is no match for them after all!"

He sighed in his heart. The strength displayed by the new emperor of Dayan refreshed his three views time and time again. He was afraid that the form of fighting would have to change in the future.

A huge roar sounded again, and Huang Taiji was so scared that he ran away. The Qing army's defense line behind Jiumen River disappeared in an instant. Everyone was faster than a rabbit, and no matter how the officers shouted, it was useless.

What if you don't run? Are you waiting to die? Didn't you see how miserable your comrades died? How can you take that kind of firearm? You take it with your head?

The huge mushroom flame cloud alone would burn anyone nearby who was hit to death on the spot.

Even if they were lucky, the deaths of those who followed would be worse than being burned on the spot. At least they would be less painful. This is not the way to play with your life! The current situation is obviously beyond the understanding of me and others.

Huang Taiji, who had retreated three or four miles, became very anxious. He stopped and looked at the situation behind him.

Hong Chengchou beside him was even more anxious than him. He turned into an anxious king on the spot. If he didn't leave now, he would have to die. He was still waiting for the revival of the Qing Dynasty.

Hong Chengchou really didn't understand, did Jiang Han kill your father? Why was he reluctant to leave?

Amid the sound of horse hooves, Ebilun, leader of the Manchu Bordered White Banner, ran out vomiting on his horse's back. He rolled his eyes and saluted Huang Taiji, saying, "I... have failed the Holy... the Holy Hope..."

Huang Taiji asked anxiously: "What happened to the two yellow flags? How many people are left?"

Ebilun spit out another mouthful, and then said: "It's all here..."

Huang Taiji was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and pointed at the hundreds of Manchu soldiers with crooked mouths and squinting eyes behind him, and asked in surprise: "Are they all here? Where is Aobai, the first Baturu of the Qing Dynasty?"

"I didn't come out, I guess it's cold..."

Dorgon came back to his senses and shouted to the two Bayalas behind him: "Send another person to tell Wu Sangui and Li Rutai, those two bastards, to come immediately!"

The two Bayalas went to pass the message in a hurry. Huang Taiji turned to Aljin, the leader of the Manchu Bordered White Banner, and said, "Ge Aljin, take the two white flags to arrange defenses to prevent the Yan army from chasing us..."

Anyway, these are Dorgon's soldiers, so I don't feel bad about using them.

Hong Chengchou was also anxious. What the hell are you still thinking about your B defense? Is it time to think about defense now? He could not care about so much, and shouted to Huang Taiji: "Your Majesty, if you don't leave now, my Qing Dynasty will be finished!"

He wanted to say, if you don't leave now, you'll never be able to escape, but he didn't dare say it. After all, it is better to escalate the danger to the national level rather than the personal level, otherwise it will be easy for Huang Taiji to make trouble for him.

Huang Taiji said angrily: "Leave? In this battle, so many warriors of the Qing Dynasty died and were injured, and I didn't even touch the Great Yan Army. Are you just leaving like this? Where is the face of the Qing Dynasty?" The two yellow flags were all the assets of Huang Taiji! All gone! He was unwilling to accept it!

Hong Chengchou then realized that the person he was facing was not a commander, but a fool. This guy was playing Yasuo, and when he got angry, he insisted on killing 800 enemies and losing 10,000 of his own money.

He was considering whether to save the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty didn't seem to be in good condition. He originally thought that the emperor was quite good, but now it seemed that his illness just didn't flare up. While he was hesitating, he suddenly heard a thunderous roar coming from behind.

"Rush!!!"

Amidst the cheers, Huang Taiji saw several cavalry units closing in on the Qing army like a pack of wolves. Although Mao Yuanyi didn't know how to defend himself after one wave of attacks, he was defeated by the opposing defense. However, although he didn't know much about firearms, he was very familiar with cavalry. Several cavalry units were like his own arms in his hands, strangling the Qing army's vitality.

Huang Taiji watched with gritted teeth. These troops were the biggest obstacle encountered by the Qing Dynasty since its southward advance, and were the Qing Dynasty's greatest enemy. He didn't know how many brave warriors of the Qing Dynasty had died at their hands, becoming their military exploits for enjoying wealth and glory!

Finally, he uttered a word that he really didn't want to say: "Retreat!"

There are so few new followers recently, I can't put it off anymore, I'll keep updating every day from today, brothers, don't support me anymore, woo woo woo group 1 lvba 7 ⑥

Volume 416: Chapter Chapter : Backstab from Mongolia

Lai Mubu, 33 years old this year, lives in the villa area in the northeast of Morioh Town... Ahem, I've been telling you something. Lai Mubu is the thirteenth son of Nurhaci, one year older than Dorgon. He looks short and sturdy like Jiaran, but he is very good at bragging. When he was young, he called himself the Jade-faced Little Flying Dragon.

Because of his dissolute behavior and his hobby of often hooking up with the ladies of the Eight Banners, Lai Mubu was suppressed by the iron-blooded Huang Taiji for many years. As people of the same sex repelled each other, in the ninth year of Chongzhen, he was implicated by Ajige, and was dismissed from his post by Huang Taiji and removed from office as a minister of state.

Of course, after the southward movement, as Dorgon’s military power increased, this good brother was also promoted and became a prince.

Upon learning that the Great Yan army was coming again with great force, Hong Chengchou proposed to unite with the Mongolians south of the desert to cut off the enemy's logistics. Lai Mubu, Prince of Jiezhi, was ordered to go to Mongolia to win over reinforcements.

Lai Mubu was fully aware of the heavy responsibility. Once the Qing Dynasty was defeated, Liaodong would no longer be able to be defended. You know, when the enemy came to Shengjing to shit on their heads, Lai Mubu was there. He had a deep understanding of this. If the enemy was allowed to advance all the way like this, they would not retreat until they reached Shengjing (Seoul).

Jianzhou is the birthplace of the Manchus. In order to continue the ancestral land of the Aisin-Gioro family, for the beautiful wives of the Eight Banners generals and the Korean girls, Lai Mubu would never allow such a thing to happen!

Lai Mubu's first stop was the Khorchin tribe, the Qing Dynasty's closest ally, to meet with Prince Tushetu Badali.

The Eight Banners Mongolia set up by the Qing court was a military organization composed of Mongolians. It was considered the Qing Dynasty's personal army and was not stationed in Mongolia.

In addition to the Eight Banners of Mongolia, the Qing court also established a league and banner system in the Mongolian region based on the Eight Banners model, namely the Inner and Outer Mongolia. This was a differentiation policy implemented by the Qing Dynasty through controlling the Mongolian upper nobility. The Khorchin tribe of the Jirim League was one of them.

The Qing government organized the Mongolian tribes into banners. Small tribes were one banner, and large tribes were divided into several banners. Each banner had a jasak (banner chief) who was in charge of the civil and administrative affairs of the banner. It was equivalent to a local self-governing organization, and the banners did not interfere with each other.

Several flags formed an alliance, with one leader and one deputy leader, who were equivalent to the leaders of a street. The most capable person in the entire street was chosen to take the position and manage the affairs of the entire alliance.

However, the leader of the alliance could not interfere in the affairs of the various banners, nor did he have the right to issue political decrees. He was only responsible for organizing dinner parties, mediating quarrels, and saying things like "it's New Year's Day, we're here anyway." However, he still had to be responsible to the Qing court.

The Qing Dynasty had a total of six leagues and forty-nine banners of the Inner Jasak Mongols, while the Outer Jasak Mongols included twenty banners of the Tushetu Khanate, twenty-three banners of the Chechen Khanate, two banners of the Western Mongols, four Khalkha tribes in the northern desert, and the Jasak banners of Kobdo and Qinghai, etc.

As the saying goes, a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. Lai Mubu’s mission this time is to deal with the Jirim League and southern Mongolia.

There were four tribes and ten banners in the Jirim League, of which Khorchin occupied six banners, of which the family of Concubine Zhuang Mubumutai occupied two banners. Concubine Zhuang's eldest brother Wu Keshan was the leader of the Right Rear Banner of Khorchin and was conferred the title of Prince Zhuoliketu, and her fourth brother Manzhu Xili was the leader of the Left Middle Banner of Khorchin and was conferred the title of Prince Zasakdarhan.

The other four banners of the Khorchin tribe also have some relatives with the Zhuangfei Mubumutai family. Either I married your daughter, or your son married his aunt. Everyone is just playing a game of close relatives, and the children born will also have some Tang people in their family...

When Lai Mubu arrived at the Khorchin tribe, he first found Wu Keshan and told him that the Dayan army had left the border. With his eloquent tongue, he convinced Wu Keshan in just a cup of tea.

Due to the difficulty in transmitting information and the thousands of miles of separation between the Khorchin tribe and the Central Plains, Wu Keshan was greatly shocked when he heard the news and quickly summoned his three younger brothers to discuss the matter.

The four brothers of Wu Keshan had a very close relationship with the Qing court. Their aunt Zhezhe married Huang Taiji, and their two sisters also married Huang Taiji.

Although my sister Hai Lanzhu is dead, it’s not a big problem. We have plenty of female relatives. Buy one, get one free, and I’ll give you a lighter before you leave.

If the Qing Dynasty were to fall, what would happen to the Khorchin tribe?

Wu Keshan understood the principle of "the lips and teeth are interdependent". After discussing with his three younger brothers, he went to see Prince Badali of Tushetu and requested to convene an alliance meeting to discuss sending troops.

Badali was the leader of the Jirim League. He was well aware of the close relationship between the entire Khorchin tribe and the Qing court. There were no less than ten political marriages between the two sides. In addition, he had also heard news that the country was in civil strife and the capital had been captured by bandits. This was a great opportunity to move south!

At the alliance meeting, Prince Badali of Tushetu informed all banners of the situation in the Ming Dynasty and Liaodong, and they voted by raising their hands to listen to the suggestion of sending troops.

The Khorchin tribe was located at the easternmost tip of Mongolia, right next to the Liaodong region. They could not ignore the war in Liaodong. In addition, the leaders of each banner did not understand the situation in the Central Plains, nor did they know that Jiang Han had already started a war with the Qing Dynasty, so they all fully supported sending troops.

With the support of the six flags of the Khorchin tribe, the other three tribes and four flags could not object. Soon the entire Jirim League reached a consensus and organized troops to help the Qing Dynasty!

Lai Mubu was deeply moved by the support of his in-laws. With tears in his eyes, he represented the Qing Emperor Huang Taiji, saying that he would treat Concubine Zhuang well and promised to try to marry a few more girls from the Khorchin grassland.

Before leaving, Lai Mubu himself also booked one and made some requirements regarding appearance and figure.

Everyone in the Khorchin tribe was happy. Prince Tushetu said that everything could be discussed. In order to show that the relationship was closer, he also tried to get a princess from the royal family for his son.

Both parties were happy. Lai Mubu, who had the support of the Jirim League, could not help but feel encouraged and continued to move on to the next tribe.

Although the Jirim League is the strongest of the six leagues in southern Mongolia, it does not border the capital area of ​​the Ming Dynasty. If it wants to achieve the strategic goal of entering the pass, it must also win over the Zhaowuda League and the Zhuosuotu League which are close to the Great Wall.

Lai Mubu's persuasion work on the Zhuosuotu League went quite smoothly, which was inseparable from his personal image and talents.

The leader of the Zhuosuotu League is a woman, a middle-aged widow who is temporarily handling league affairs on behalf of her young son. During the dinner, Lai Mubu was in high spirits and talked about current affairs with unmatched eloquence, which fully demonstrated his talent for diplomacy and won him the love of middle-aged and elderly grassland women.

In the alliance's plan to fight against Dayan, the Zhaowuda League is the most difficult to deal with, and the key to this plan also lies in the Aohan tribe of the Zhaowuda League.

Zasakbandi of the Aokhan tribe was the eldest son-in-law of Huang Taiji. There were also factions within the grassland. Princess Gulun Aokhan was naturally hostile to Lai Mubu, the envoy of Dorgon.

Lai Mubu ignored his eldest niece, pulled Bandi aside, and tried his best to exaggerate the Ming Dynasty's long-standing hostility towards the northern ethnic groups, especially the Mongols.

Lai Mubu said righteously: "The Tumu Incident humiliated the Han people as a whole country. The Han people hate Mongolia very much. The Han Dynasty wants to exterminate you Mongolians as soon as possible. The newly born Great Yan Dynasty is even more powerful. Only by uniting together to resist can the alliances have a chance to save the whole race! The Ming country is in chaos now, we should take advantage of this opportunity..."

He seized upon the delayed transmission of news on the grassland and delivered his speech in full.

This view was deeply shared by Xiongying Banlu. Several years ago, he advocated that the Mongolian tribes unite, pick up the whip again, and make the Han people crawl at their feet again.

However, Bandi was very hesitant. When he went south before, he was frightened by the army in the south. When he thought about having to face a huge flying monster, Bandi shook his head firmly and refused.

Lai Mubu continued, "You know, the Han people's dream has always been to conquer the Wolf's Lair, especially since Zhu Ming established a new dynasty on top of Yuan Dadu. If they let them recover, how could the children of the grasslands be well off? They have always wanted to get rid of the grasslands as soon as possible!"

Bandi was somewhat shaken. Mongolia had a deep hatred for the Ming Dynasty for destroying it. The two sides had been harboring grievances for a long time and it was difficult for them to trust each other. They had been fighting each other for hundreds of years.

In fact, Bandi had secretly expanded his armed forces and had been collecting intelligence about the Ming Dynasty, hoping to take advantage of the civil strife in the Ming Dynasty to gain some benefits. However, when he heard the news that the man Jiang Han's army began to move north, he was afraid and did not dare to act rashly.

His younger brother Banlu clenched his fist and said, "Brother, do it. We are the eagles of the grassland and the hope of the Golden Family. Changshengtian will bless us!"

Lai Mubu knew that Bandi would not give up until he saw the rabbit, so he promised: "Our Great Qing Emperor promised that after the two sides jointly defeated the Great Yan army, the land within the Great Wall would be assigned to each alliance as a reward. The harder you work and the more merits you make, the more land you will get, and you can also be conferred the title of prince..."

Lai Mubu knew very well that now the land within the Great Wall was basically about to be recovered by the Great Yan. It would be better to be generous to others and use the land that was not his own to induce the Mongolian alliances to become enemies of the Ming Dynasty. It would be a pie in the sky.

As for conferring the title of king, it is just a matter of asking. You don't even need to pay for it. Just give them a title and they will work hard for you. Later on, you can remove the title of prince and that's it. How convenient! In this respect, the Qing Dynasty was much more generous than the Ming Dynasty.

Finally, Lai Mubu said that the Jirim League was ready to send troops, the Zhuosuotu League also agreed to support the Qing Dynasty and be the enemy of Dayan, and even several banners of the Zhaowuda League expressed that they were considering it, and they were just waiting for your Aohan tribe to make the final decision.

Bandi didn't understand why the allied flags agreed so readily. He also knew that Lai Mubu wouldn't dare to lie. There was no agreement between them on this matter, and no one was stupid enough to send out troops easily.

In fact, there is a big misunderstanding among the Mongolian alliances about the strength of the Volunteer Army. When the war went south, only a few alliances participated. Although the war left the alliances half-crippled, many tribes believed that the Volunteer Army could only be defeated by playing dirty tricks. Don't talk about such abstract things as monsters that are dozens of feet high and can fly into the sky. I am still a warrior of Changshengtian. They are all liars.

Now everyone's injuries have almost healed, and their strength has gradually recovered. A great turmoil has occurred in the Ming Dynasty. The Great Yan had just defeated the Dashun, and was now in a hurry to go out and fight the Qing. By using troops in this way, the Emperor of the Great Yan was simply seeking his own death. As long as we rush forward and stab him in the back, we will surely wipe out his entire army.

Bandi thought about it, added some conditions, and finally made up his mind to enter the pass!

Lai Mubu breathed a sigh of relief. The battle report from Liaodong had just reached him. The situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable for the Qing Dynasty. Fortunately, these small Tang people did not know much about the strength of the Dayan army.

If they knew that the Qing Dynasty had lost at Jiumen River, the Wuzhenchaoha Artillery Battalion was destroyed, and more than 10,000 soldiers were lost, they would probably have to make some plans. Even the Khorchin tribe of the Jirim League might not dare to agree so readily...

Lai Mubu did not dare to delay at all and urged all alliances to gather their troops immediately and prepare to march south into the pass, aiming for Xifengkou and Lengkou. If conditions permit, they could also take a stroll around the capital.

The Zhaowuda League had eight tribes and eleven banners, the Zhuosuotu League had two tribes and five banners, and together with the Jirim League, there were a total of twenty-five banners. Each banner had a regular force of three to five hundred people, and each person was equipped with a horse, so the total regular force was about twelve thousand people.

Together with the 3,000 cavalrymen of the Manchu Zhenghong Banner brought by Lai Mubu himself, a total of 15,000 cavalrymen were divided into two groups and marched into the pass in a mighty manner, launching surprise attacks on Lengkou and Xifengkou and entering northern Zhili.
