Although Dorgon and Huang Taiji were already at odds with each other, their positions on the issue of annihilating Liu Ruyi were surprisingly consistent!
On the afternoon of the next day, Dorgon and Duoduo led nearly 30,000 Manchu elites to the south gate of Pinggu City!
The 30,000-strong army has flags fluttering, their armor is bright, and they are full of murderous intent. From a distance, they look like an unstoppable torrent of steel!
Although the Dorgon brothers were defeated in Jinan City and lost thousands of troops, with the addition of his ally, 'Chahar Khan' ~ Erke Kongoer, the Dorgon brothers not only replenished their troops, but those
Many small tribes of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties who were originally wavering also took refuge in Dorgon's command. As a result, his strength has skyrocketed, and he has the potential to be on an equal footing with Huang Taiji!
Looking at the 30,000 elite Manmeng Erlang behind him, Dorgon was also very high-spirited. He was wearing golden armor and a golden helmet. He had a domineering kingly aura that he couldn't help but reveal!
"My dear brother, even in such a small city, do they want to stop our progress? My brave Mongolian son can take this city with just one charge!" Erke Kongol looked in front of him.
Pinggu City, which is less than the size of a hand, said with some disdain.
In order to get more benefits from this entry, he transferred more than 5,000 Mongolian elite cavalry from his hometown Chahar grassland. As a result, the number of Mongolian cavalry under his command has reached nearly eight
Thousands of people, this is almost the entire military strength of Erke Kongor!
'Clothes are a man's face, money is a man's courage!'
Having strong troops in hand gave Erke Kongol a strong sense of self-confidence!
Dorgon was not as optimistic as Erke Kongoer. He had fought against Liu Ruyi and was well aware of the terrifying firearms of Liu Ruyi's soldiers, especially Liu Ruyi, who was completely desperate.
No one knows what crazier things he will do if he is pushed into a hurry!
"Brother Ezhe, the guard in the city opposite is Liu Ruyi, who defeated me in Jinan City! This man is cunning, despicable, and especially the weapons under his command are extremely sharp. We must not be careless!
"Dorgon said cautiously.
Erke Kongor was startled and glanced at the city in disbelief, "Prince Rui, you mean, these humble Han people can actually resist your Prince Rui's army?"
Dorgon nodded. Although he now has powerful soldiers and strong strength, he is very clear-headed. These powers will be the foundation for his settlement and life, and he must not lose them!
He didn't want to spend all his money just for a mere Liu Ruyi!
"Brother Ezhe, this Liu Ruyi is far from comparable to other Ming army generals. This man looks down upon the wolf and has the heart of a tiger and a wolf! The methods we used on other Ming army generals in the past will not be used on him."
It won't work!" Dorgon looked into Erke Kongor's eyes and explained slowly.
However, Erke Kongor laughed loudly and said indifferently: "Prince Rui, you can rest assured that our great Mongolian cavalry will help you! Han people are only Han people after all! In front of our brave Manchu and Mongolian cavalry,
They will always be just a bunch of lambs waiting to be slaughtered!”
Dorgon frowned slightly, but did not explain anything further!
*************************************************
On the top of the city, Liu Ruyi and He Renlong, Hu Dawei, were also watching the movements of the Qing army!
The moment Huang Taiji withdrew, Liu Ruyi had already guessed that Dorgon would come in force. Looking at it now, it turned out to be the case!
The reason why Huang Taiji withdrew was because he didn't want to spend too much energy and troops on himself, but Dorgon wanted to prove his strength in front of Huang Taiji!
Judging from this, this battle is inevitable!
"Donkey Ball, these Qing soldiers are probably much more powerful than Huang Taiji's two yellow flags!" He Renlong said in shock.
He is the one who leads the troops. It can be seen at a glance that the troops under Dorgon's command this time are stronger than Huang Taiji!
A powerful opponent left, but suddenly a more powerful opponent came. This feeling is not pleasant!
Liu Ruyi moved her limbs and joints, but there was a strong murderous intent in her eyes, "He Shuai, Hu Shuai, the King of Hell is so easy to send, but the kid is so difficult! It seems that today, we are afraid that we are going to get serious with them!"
Hu Dawei was more upright, unlike He Renlong, who had so many tricks. He said with a solemn expression: "Brother Liu, we are not a family, and we will not enter the same family! Today, we have reached this level, how much more time is needed?
What are you talking about! I have three thousand soldiers in the Shanxi Army, and I will be at the command of Brother Liu at any time!"
Liu Ruyi nodded, cupped her hands and said, "Thank you, Commander Hu, for your support!"
Seeing Liu Ruyi's gaze glance at him, He Renlong swallowed hard and said hurriedly: "Brother Liu! Whether it's a mule or a horse, you have to pull it out and run around to find out! It's already reached this point, first his mother
Let’s have a fight with them first!”
"Okay! With two old brothers helping me, Ruyi won't have to worry about everything happening!" What Liu Ruyi was waiting for was He Renlong's words, "Here comes someone! Pass my military order and the entire army is on alert! Prepare to fight!"
After adjusting for more than half an hour, the Qing army's formation was the first to make changes!
After the formation of three thousand Mongolian cavalry, they all jumped off their horses and climbed onto the ladder to attack the city!
Erke Kongor summoned a Mongolian captain of ten thousand men and whispered: "Batu, I leave this first battle to you! We must show the majesty of our Mongolian son-in-law!"
Although Mongolia has surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty for many years, Mongolians still like the military system left by their ancestor Genghis Khan!
But this is no longer the era of Genghis Khan. Since the death of Lin Dan Khan, the Mongols have become like a piece of sand!
Although Batu is known as the Captain of Ten Thousands, he only has three thousand soldiers under his command!
"Don't worry, Khan! I will definitely let these despicable Han dogs have a taste of the power of our Mongolian warriors!" Batu knelt down and kowtowed.
They Mongolians have been huddled in the grassland for too long. Breathing in the "free" air, Batu's blood began to burn!
He whipped out the scimitar from his waist, raised his arms and shouted: "Descendants of Genghis Khan! Servants of the Golden Family! Pick up the swords in your hands and let this land surrender under the feet of our noble Mongolian cavalry!"
"Ouch~~~Ouch~~~~!!!"
This group of Mongolian cavalry instantly roared like wolves, and the sound soared into the sky! They did not hide their desire for war, and they did not hide their desire for the wealth of this land!
Batu was very satisfied with the morale of his Mongolian soldiers. He pointed his scimitar forward fiercely, "Victorious Mongolian warriors, follow me and charge!!"
In a moment, three thousand Mongolian soldiers, like restless ants, formed a large black mass and rushed straight to the wall of Pinggu City!
"Brother Liu, let's fire! Let these bastards have a taste of the power of our artillery shells!" He Renlong could no longer sit still. He held the handle of the knife at his waist tightly, obviously very nervous!
"Brother He, don't be anxious! Let them come up first!" Liu Ruyi's face was expressionless, but there was a gap in her heart. These Mongolians are just Dorgon's cannon fodder. At this level, they are far from capable.
A desperate moment!
What's more, with the help of He Renlong and Hu Dawei's five thousand troops, Liu Ruyi felt even more confident!
"Huo Lang! Get ready! Let them get closer and then beat me!" Liu Ruyi said to Huo Lang calmly.
"Yes!" the fireman responded and shouted to the cannon soldiers on the wall: "Open the fire door, light the match rope, and prepare to launch!"
"Yes~~!" After countless fierce battles, the colorful stone soldiers under Liu Ruyi are no longer the 'rookies' who faced the loess and turned their backs to the sky. They can survive to this day, almost every day.
The hands of a soldier are stained with the blood of the enemy!
The soldiers opened the fire door one after another, lit the match ropes, and loaded the bullets. Everything went smoothly, leaving He Renlong and Hu Dawei stunned!
At this time, Batu led three thousand Mongolian soldiers and rushed to the outside of the city wall. They rushed forward with roars and grins, as if they had seen that the city was about to change hands in a moment!
"Launch~~~!" Huo Lang shouted.
For a moment, the crisp sound of ‘bang~bang~bang…’ came one after another, and white gunpowder smoke filled the sky, covering the entire sky!
Under the city, although these Mongolian soldiers were protected by swords and shields, they had never fought against the Colored Stone Army and had no idea of the power of the Colored Stone Army's bird cannons!
Just this round of volley, hundreds of Mongolian soldiers fell into a pool of cold blood!
The shields they held high in their hands were of no use at all. Even if they could block the attack of the first bullet, the second and third bullets could still penetrate their thin armor, pierce their chests, and take away their lives.
Their lives!
After years of development in the Qing Dynasty, the addition of a large number of Han craftsmen has significantly improved their military equipment. Even ordinary Qing soldiers will wear at least two layers of armor, one layer of leather armor for protection, and another outside.
Layer of armor!
But these Mongols are just vassals of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. In addition to their superb riding and archery skills, their level of technological development is still extremely backward!
Ordinary Mongolian soldiers are lucky to wear a layer of leather armor. Many of them even go into battle "shirtless" with no armor at all. Yesterday they were herdsmen, but today they have already stepped onto the battlefield!
"Bang bang bang..."
Before Batu could react, the Caishi Army fired another volley, and more than a hundred Mongolian soldiers fell into a pool of blood without any warning!
"Wow~~!!! You despicable Chinese dogs! I'm going to kill you all!" Batu couldn't help roaring. He was originally full of confidence, thinking that he could attack this small Pinggu City with just one charge.
But the reality hit him completely!
They had already suffered heavy losses before they even got close to the city wall!
How can Batu accept this?
Remembering that the Great Khan and Prince Rui were watching the battle behind him, Batu had to suppress the anger in his heart and loudly called out to the Mongolian soldiers around him: "Children of Genghis Khan, show your courage! The Immortal God will protect us! As long as we charge forward
If we go to the city, those Han dogs will definitely die without their bodies intact!"
