Chapter 2337 Nation
"On the Altan, once he gained power, showed his sharp claws and teeth. Even if he fought against the Ming Dynasty, he would slaughter several border forts, and there were no soldiers and civilians... Now our vanguard camp of the Western Army came to avenge the Ming Dynasty's border people. Now he would not return until he broke the pseudo-Gold royal city!"
Shi Hao has a strong national complex and has empathy for ordinary people. At this time, he recited the proclamation that had been prepared long ago and read aloud.
In fact, this is not an ordinary war, but a war that concerns national dominance.
Due to various reasons, the Han and Mongolia embarked on two completely different survival modes, which also created completely different ethnic habits.
The Han people walked out of the primitive world, created resources to solve their own needs, relying on their hard-working hands to support their parents and children, and get along well with other tribesmen.
Mongolia is chasing water and grass, and not only fighting against the harsh climate and wild animals, but also competing for resources with other tribesmen, and surviving by plundering resources from the surrounding areas.
It is these two completely different national habits that have created two completely different ways of survival, which has led to Mongolia eventually turning its plundering attention to the Han people.
The Mongols have trained cavalry and archery skills since childhood, and they can also work together to hunt, so they are more good at war games.
It is precisely because of this skill advantage that Mongolia frequently launched wars against the Han people and greedily plundered resources one after another.
Theoretically, the resources and wealth created by the Han people are enough to build an army to protect their own security, so as to ensure that the resources they create are not stolen.
But the feudal dynasty had very serious class attributes.
Since the Mongols often do not touch the fundamental interests of the ruling class, after realizing the strength of the Mongolian cavalry, the people in power are unwilling to spend too much resources, and often choose to calm down the situation.
The Song Dynasty undoubtedly refreshed the bottom line of the Han ruling class. Now the Ming Dynasty seems to have been broken, but in the face of Altan's bullying, he becomes a turtle with his head-reducing turtle.
If the Ming Dynasty followed the historical development trajectory, the Ming Dynasty would shake hands with Mongolia and make peace, but it no longer cared about the feelings of the border people and only hoped to obtain so-called peace through exchange of interests.
However, with the rise of a poor scholar in the south, this scholar not only considered the interests of ordinary people, but also fought back against Mongolia for the Han people.
From the initial defense battle between Tongzhou and Xuanfu, to the counterattack in Shanxi, to the great victory in Badaling, and now the army is coming to the royal court, all of which are leading the rise of China.
Just because of one person, the situation between the two sides has quietly changed. After years of hard work, this situation has been completely reversed.
Now, the Western Expedition Army with Lin Junran's will came to the royal city, not only causing heavy damage to the Jin Kingdom, but also trying to determine the supreme status of the Han people.
But regardless of the situation before, the Han people have truly awakened, and Mongolia either bows his head to the Han people to admit their mistakes, or directly destroys them.
"I will never return until I break the pseudo-Golden King City!" The Western Army, who traveled thousands of miles, was full of passion and swore to Dabanshengcheng.
this……
Zhong Jin heard the sound of the mountain crying outside and couldn't help but raise his head in panic.
She thought that as long as she asked Altan for help, the invading Ming army would definitely be unreturned, but at this moment she felt an inexplicable panic and an unprecedented sense of crisis surged in her heart.
"Zhong Jinhatun, these Ming troops are too arrogant. Let me lead my brothers to fight out!" When Ao Muga heard the voice of confrontation, he aroused his fighting spirit and asked for battle.
Zhong Jin looked at the reckless subordinate, but ordered to the leader next to him: "Ao Riqilang, you can bring people to defend you, and you must not let them attack in!"
Although she was a daughter, she followed Altan to fight in the south and north in her early years and had a unique view on military affairs. Based on her estimates of the forces of both sides, she knew that killing out would only hit the stone with an egg, and by then, her mother and son would fall into the hands of the Ming army and become hostages.
"Yes!" Ao Riqilang followed what Zhong Jin thought, but knew that this Ming army was not to be taken lightly, so he immediately took the order and left with great respect.
In fact, this defensive battle has begun. The Mongolian side has used the fortifications of Dabanshengcheng to counterattack, and shot Ming military crossbows with the Corner Tower as the core.
Although they also made earth guns, they only saw the flintlock rifle emitted by the Ming army, but they threw away such embarrassing things with great disgust.
Shi Hao's cavalry left the range of the Mongolian Corner Tower, but looked at the city from afar. Looking at the four-meter-high earth wall, I couldn't help but feel secretly worried.
Although this is a city of earth, this kind of earthen wall that is soft and sunken is even more unfavorable for climbing. If they want to climb over the earthen wall, they can only use tools.
"General, this city gate is not solid. There is a forest twenty miles west of the west, which can create tools for siege!" Zhang Nu had considered the matter of siege and immediately offered advice.
Unlike the Ming Dynasty, which has abundant resources, it is difficult to find wood in this vast prairie, and it is even more rare to find wood that can be used to make siege cities.
Shi Hao also noticed that it was a wooden wooden door, so he asked seriously: "If you go to harvest wood and come back to make siege equipment, I wonder how long it will take?"
"If everything goes well, two days should be fine!" Zhang Nuruo said confidently.
Shi Hao shook his head gently, but made a decision and said, "Then don't be so troublesome! Come and see the people, prepare to show them the power of our Western Army!"
"Yes!" Someone behind him responded loudly after receiving the instructions.
In Zhang Nu's surprised gaze, a big man took out a few iron cans, then buried several iron cans directly next to the city gate, drawing a line of fire from them.
In the process of pacifying the southwest, the special cavalry could play a smaller and smaller role, which prompted them to study thermal weapons more crazily.
This time they went north, they did not carry the famous Thor cannon, nor even the tiger squat cannon, but they carried a large amount of black gunpowder and this kind of iron can.
Boom!
While the Mongolian and the Ming army continued to shoot at each other, the fire line in front of the city gate burned sizzling. After a dazzling white light flashed, a loud sound of earth shaking.
After all, this city wall is an earth wall, and the so-called city gate is actually a wooden gate. Its defense ability is simply not comparable to that of the Ming Dynasty cities.
After this big explosion, not only did the wooden gate on Dabanshengcheng be blown away to the point where only one threshold was left, but a big hole was blown out of the city wall.
this……
Zhang Nu thought it would take some time to invade the royal court, but when he saw the city gate being blown away, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"kill!"
After seeing that the city gate had been blown open, Qi Jin and Ma Dong immediately led their troops to rush in, revealing the fangs that belonged to their Qi family and Ma family.
This time they went north, not only hoping to destroy the royal court in one fell swoop, but also hoping to make achievements and achieve great achievements like their fathers.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
A flintlock spearman set the way for the army in front, pulled the plate machine to shoot the Mongolian defensive battle formation, and broke into the royal court in one fell swoop.
"kill!"
Ao Riqilang had just come to his senses from the movement of the earth and mountains. Although his legs were still trembling, he still held up his sword and shouted loudly.
However, in terms of morale, the Wang Ting's personal guards were completely at a disadvantage, and most of the Mongolian cavalry had not yet been launched, so they were forced to fight.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
After waves of flintlock guns, a straight sword army behind rushed forward and ruthlessly killed the Mongolian cavalry whose military formation was already in chaos.
In terms of weapons, the Western Army undoubtedly had an absolute advantage. Whether it was their flintlock rifles or the swords and arrows in their hands, the quality was much stronger than that of Mongolia.
For the already chaotic Mongolian guards, especially their absolute advantage in personnel and weapons, the Ming army gained the upper hand in one fell swoop and unilaterally killed the Mongolians.
Aoriqilang led two thousand people to resist, but facing this unstoppable Ming army, he was soon killed.
"Quick, organize resistance!"
"Get on the horse, get on the horse and fight them!"
"No, it's too strong, escape! Escape!"
...
Facing the Ming army, which was like a wolf and a tiger, the Mongolians in the city were in chaos. Although many Mongolians still wanted to resist, some people also had a timid attitude towards war.
But no matter how they choose at this moment, they seem to be unable to escape the cycle of fate. Since there is only one city gate, even if they want to escape, they have nowhere to escape, but they can only be forced to accept the Ming army's butcher knife.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
Shi Hao led the cavalry to carry out a unilateral massacre of the Mongolian soldiers who had fallen into chaos, and the blood soon dyed the royal court that symbolized the power of the Jin Kingdom red.
"How could this Ming army be so strong?" Ao Muga was cut off his head by an unknown soldier, but his face was full of reluctance.
Once upon a time, they were the maker of slaughter, but now they have been treated like innocent people of the Ming Dynasty, but they have been ruthlessly killed.
More than 10,000 Ming troops had completely flocked to this small big board and ascended the city. After defeating the two thousand main forces, they also began to deal with the fish that missed the net.
"We are willing to surrender, please stop killing!" Zhong Jin ordered the dozens of personal guards who were protecting him to put down their swords, but beg for mercy to Ma Dong.
She thought she could use the city to protect herself, but when she saw the Ming army rushing in, she especially saw the terrifying combat power of this Ming army, and decided to surrender with her two sons to save her life.
Despite this surrender to the Ming army, it would be a loss of the face of the Jin Dynasty's mother. However, compared with the different parts of the body, this is undoubtedly a more acceptable result.
The most important thing is that she believed that her and her two children would be like the time in Shizhou City, Shanxi, and her husband would definitely be able to rescue herself.
Bang!
The dozens of Mongolian guards exchanged glances, and they also threw down the swords in their hands and surrendered.
Faced with such a powerful Ming army, they had already lost the courage to continue fighting, and surrender was undoubtedly their only way to survive. Especially this was the order of the mother of the country, and they dared not refuse to obey.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
Facing the Mongolian guards who had already left their weapons, Ma Dong did not stop killing, but instead led his subordinates to kill these unarmed Mongolian guards directly.
This time, it was impossible to bring these Mongolian guard captives who had no value, so they did not accept the reason for their guards to surrender.
Zhong Jin watched his personal guard beheaded directly, blinked his eyelids, and then said to Ma Dong: "I am Zhong Jinhatun! My two sons and I can become your hostages and help you return to the Ming Dynasty, but you must treat us mother and son well!"
"Are you negotiating with me?" Ma Dong looked at the Mongolian woman who was somewhat beautiful, but asked lightly.
Zhong Jin frowned slightly, and then said confidently: "You have broken the royal court of our Jin Kingdom. If we were with us, mother and son, everything would have room for maneuver. Altan Khan might still shake hands with you Ming Dynasty and make peace. You Ge Lao Lin must know the pros and cons!"
"Our Master Lin, as long as we destroy the pseudo-gold royal court!" Ma Dong's eyes were sharp, but he looked at the self-righteous woman coldly and said.
When Zhong Jin found that things were different from what he thought, he said panic: "Do you want to kill us, mother and son?"
"You... are going to die!" Ma Dong looked at the woman, but said coldly.
Zhong Jin's almond eyes glared and said in disbelief: "Do you dare?"
puff!
But Ma Dong stopped talking nonsense, immediately waved the shiny long sword in his hand, slashed the vicious Mongolian woman's neck, and blood immediately splashed.
Zhong Jin reached out to cover his bloody neck, with an incredible expression on his face, and his mouth opened as if he wanted to question, but he could no longer make any sound.
"But still remember the woman who died at your hands in Shanxi?" Ma Dong looked at this Mongolian woman and said seriously about the past.
Zhong Jin looked at Ma Dong's face and recalled the past in Shanxi again. Then he remembered that his hands were already covered in blood. Although there was great reluctance on her face, she still fell down with a loud bang.
Shi Hao was already engaged in the ending work of the war, so he naturally noticed Ma Dong's behavior, but did not stop him. After all, even if all these people were slaughtered, these people deserved it.
The most important thing is that even if the Ming Dynasty wanted to merge with Mongolia, Altan's lineage could not be kept. They must use their blood to commemorate the dead innocent border residents. Some blood is inevitable.
The royal court of the Jin Kingdom was destroyed by the Western Expedition Army, which was undoubtedly a major event that could be recorded in history.
Of course, the most troublesome thing was the Altan army fighting on the front line. When they were surrounded by five major Ming army corps, their base camp was a place, which would definitely bring down the morale of the army.
