Chapter 280 The Sword Points at Japan (Forty) Killing with a Borrowed Knife
A gunpowder explosion in Dong Yiyuan's army immediately killed more than 200 Ming troops, and more than 700 others were injured for some reason. The severity and cause of the injuries varied, but they were basically considered to have lost their combat effectiveness.
Fortunately among the misfortunes, most of these Ming troops were the gangsters from the capital recruited by Peng Xingu. They looked like a bitch, but in fact they didn't have much real combat effectiveness.
However, the impact of the explosion was still catastrophic. At that time, because the top brass of the Ming army and the Jurchen coalition were preparing to hold a military meeting at the Chinese army camp not far from the gunpowder magazine, they were all affected by the explosion.
Dong Yiyuan, the coach of the Ming army, and Nurhaci, the coach of the Jurchen coalition, both suffered some bumps, and the generals surrounding them were even overturned by the air waves and knocked unconscious.
The most tragic one was an unlucky Qianhu of the Ming army. He almost lost his left arm because he hit a Yanling sword that flew out of its sheath. Although he finally saved his left arm, when will he be able to recover?
, then we can only ask God.
However, although this loss was tragic, it was just an appetizer compared to the real tragedy that occurred later.
Because this explosion was a big explosion in the gunpowder depot, it made an earth-shattering noise. At this time, although the gunpowder of the Ming army had been improved through Jinghua's efforts, it was still only the "optimal formula black gunpowder" after all, so a huge black gunpowder was formed.
The thick smoke actually created a beacon-like effect that could be seen clearly from dozens of miles away.
[Note: In fact, Jinghua has primary nitroglycerin manufacturing technology, and Huang Zhiting was used once during the Battle of Liangshan. However, due to the huge and extremely dangerous storage and transportation risks of nitroglycerin, subsequent production and research and development were suspended by Gao Pragmatic. At the same time,
Jinghua’s development of gunpowders such as TNT and RDX is still at a bottleneck.]
As a result, the Japanese troops in Hamhung City also discovered anomalies. Monomibanmen from the Japanese Fourth Army Corps quickly obtained accurate information and immediately reported it to Nabeshima Katsushige.
Nabeshima Katsushige guessed from the beginning that the Ming army camp might have encountered a gunpowder explosion, but he was worried that the Ming army might be deceiving, so he has been waiting anxiously for Monomiban's confirmation.
At this time, he heard that the Ming Army had really bombed their own camp to pieces. There were dead and wounded on the spot, blood flowed everywhere, and the wails and screams could be clearly heard ten miles away. How could it be false?
Nabeshima Katsushige never believed that the Ming army took thousands of his own soldiers to "sacrifice the sky" in order to defraud him out of the city, so the explosion must have been an accident by the Ming army themselves.
This opportunity must not be missed, the time will never come again! Nabeshima Katsushige made a decisive decision and personally led the entire army out of the city, directly attacking the Ming army in the direction of Yongxing, and arrived before nightfall that day.
At this time, the Ming army had just placed the wounded, and the corpses of the dead had just been sorted out. However, many of the dead no longer had the so-called "whole corpses" and were still being put together nervously.
Dong Yiyuan's body was bumped in many places. Although the injuries were not serious, he hit the boss's bump on his forehead. It was obviously black and blue, but it was also red and swollen. For a commander, this look was really indecent, so he had to be cautious.
Following the doctor's advice, I was bandaged up to the point where I couldn't even wear a helmet.
Nurhachi was not seriously injured, except that when he fell to the ground, he was cut by a piece of debris on his right hand, which made it temporarily inconvenient to grasp the weapon. Of course, he could probably grab it by force, but there must be some mistakes.
Just strength.
However, although both coaches were fine, some of their generals were not so lucky because they were on the periphery at the time. About 30% to 40% of the main subordinates on both sides were in trouble, although none
Once they died, they all temporarily lost their fighting ability.
Moreover, in this era, the level of treatment of wound infections was limited after all. After such an injury, people usually had to rest and rest. Therefore, these people were actually unable to continue to command their sergeants and had to wait for Dong Yiyuan to make temporary arrangements.
[Note: Because of the high pragmatism, the Ming army spent a lot of effort on various health standards and better avoided many meaningless infections. However, after all, the high pragmatism could not come up with "miracle drugs" such as penicillin.
So if you are really infected, there is no good solution.]
At this time, Dong Yiyuan was lividly preparing to arrange temporary replacements for the vacancies in various departments in the new tent. Suddenly, he heard shouts of murder coming from outside, and his expression suddenly changed.
Just when he was about to shout for all the troops to stay put to meet the enemy, Nurhaci suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Dong Zongrong, it's the Japanese pirates who are attacking! We must first hold on to the Chinese army's tent, and then use our elite to counterattack their main force all the way!"
Dong Yiyuan was already in an extremely bad mood because of such a big accident today. Now that he was attacked by Japanese pirates and then robbed of his words by a barbarian like Nurhaci, it simply added fuel to the fire. He was so angry that he said angrily: "
I have been leading the army for forty years, and I have devoted myself to giving you guidance!"
The one who loves dragons and tigers is naturally Nurhachi. His surname is Aixinjueluo. People in Ming Dynasty were too lazy to call him such a long surname, so they simply expressed it with the word "love". As for "Longhu", it was because of his
This time he took the initiative to apply for military service, and the imperial court gave him the rank of General Longhu.
Although General Longhu is just a military official, it is not simple. First of all, General Longhu is the second grade, which is quite high. As we all know, the levels of titles and titles granted to surrounding small countries and tribes by the Ming Dynasty are relatively high.
That was very, very low for the "Celestial Dynasties" in the past dynasties.
For example, the Mo Dynasty of Annan was proclaimed emperor after all in that one-third acre of land in Annan. However, after being forced to "annex" during the Jiajing period, the Ming Dynasty did not really rule, but only gave the Mo Dynasty an "emperor".
The second-grade "Annan Capital Commander".
Speaking of General Dragon and Tiger, Han Naji's position before inheriting the title of his ancestor Anda Shunyi was also "General Dragon and Tiger". However, you must know that Han Naji's canonization was second only to Tumut at that time.
My answer! He was able to obtain General Longhu because Ming Dynasty believed that his act of coming to surrender actually made a great contribution to the tribute.

Before Nurhaci was awarded the title of General Longhu this time, there was only the "Manchukuo" that once ruled the Haixi and Jianzhou tribes.
"Lord", Wang Tai, the former chief of the Hada tribe, was awarded this title, so that he overpowered the Jurchen tribes and ruled the Jurchen stably for decades.
It was precisely because Nurhaci now had the title of General Longhu that Dong Yiyuan's scolding at this time did not turn into a scolding or insult, which was considered to have given him a lot of face.
But Nurhachi's temper was not good, especially when Dong Yiyuan had lost such a big face today and dared to be so arrogant in front of him, which made him suddenly sink. He said half-heartedly: "Really? That's good,
I'm just waiting to see Mr. Dong defeat the enemy."
Dong Yiyuan's heart became angry, and he stared coldly into Nurhaci's eyes, and suddenly said: "According to the orders of the Marquis and Admiral Ma, all the armies in northern Korea are currently under the unified command and dispatch of this commander. Ai Longhu said that he would defeat the invading force with elites.
I, the main force of the Japanese pirates, have left this job to Ai Longhu - I bet Ai Longhu will not disobey the Marquis's military order, right?"
Nurhachi was furious and shouted: "Dong Yiyuan! I am here to participate in the military meeting, but I can only lead three hundred soldiers. If you ask me to defeat the main force of the Japanese pirates, it is no different from killing someone with a borrowed knife!"
Seeing him like this, Dong Yiyuan became calm and snorted: "If you don't have the guts, why don't you shut up." After saying that, he ignored Nurhaci and began to quickly arrange the tasks of "holding in place" for each department.
.
Nurhaci was angry that he didn't take him seriously, and said coldly: "What Dong Zongrong said is that since we don't need our help here, what's the point of staying here? Farewell!" After saying that, he walked away and followed him.
The Jianzhou left guard generals who arrived immediately followed. The remaining Jurchen generals from Yehe, Hada and Jianzhou right guard were in a dilemma. They could neither leave nor stay.
Originally, at this time, as long as Dong Yiyuan just wanted to stay, they would have a step to go down, so they would naturally stay. However, Dong Yiyuan didn't say anything, so everyone looked at each other with helplessness in their eyes and could only remain silent.
Also walked away.
Dong Yiyuan's general and guerrilla general Hao Sanpin saw this and persuaded him: "Commander, these Ye He, Hada and other tribesmen obey the orders of the Marquis. If they are allowed to go with Nurhaci, I am afraid that the Marquis will blame him afterwards...
…”
Dong Yiyuan waved his hand and said: "As the saying goes, there are three moves in chess. How can you succeed if you only look at the front of your eyes? If they don't leave, if Nurhaci has ulterior motives after he returns, who can check and balance them?"
Hao Sanpin was stunned for a moment, then turned around and said hurriedly: "So it turns out that the commander-in-chief is still wise, and the general has learned a lesson." Dong Yiyuan ignored him, continued to assign tasks, and then ordered people to guard separately.
Camps.
On the other side, Nurhachi came out of the tent and saw Japanese pirates attacking from all directions outside the Ming army's camp. However, since the Ming army's camp was temporarily built but still quite strong, the Japanese pirates had only used sneak attacks to rob the first floor.
The outer defense line is attacking the second line of defense in a chaotic manner.
Nurhaci took a deep breath, suddenly turned around and asked the person next to him: "E Yidu, Dong Yiyuan has insulted me so much, I swear I won't tolerate it! Do you have any way to make Dong Yiyuan suffer a big loss without harming me?"
Will I be held accountable by Grand Master Gao afterwards?"
He also frowned and looked at the Japanese troops who were besieging the camp from all directions. After pondering for a moment, he suddenly had an idea and said a few words to Nurhaci.
Nurhachi's eyes brightened and he said decisively: "Okay! What a great idea! Gather the troops!"
One of the right-hand men of Jianzhou Right Guard Commander Shuerhaqi, Urkun who came with Nurhaci this time came out a little late. He only saw Er Yidu quietly saying a few words to Nurhaci, who
He shouted "Gather the troops", thinking that Nurhaci wanted troops to rebel and asked Dong Yiyuan to "revenge". He was so shocked that he quickly grabbed Nurhaci who was about to get on his horse and said in a hurry: "Da Beile, if you pick a fight with Dong Zongrong today, tomorrow
How can Jianzhou survive when Master Gao is so angry? I hope Dabeile will be careful!"
A trace of surprise flashed across Nurhachi's face, and then a trace of softness appeared, and he smiled and said: "Urkun, I didn't expect that you would still call me Big Belle, okay, okay..."
Wu Erkun was shocked. After the separation of the left and right Jianzhou families, it stands to reason that he could no longer call Nurhaci "Big Belle". After all, this "Big Belle" was what his subordinates called him when Jianzhou was not separated.
The title of Shuerhaqi at that time was "Er Beile".
After the separation, both sides were "Baylor", but the rankings of "big" and "second" were removed, and they became Jianzhou left-back Baylor and Jianzhou right-back Baylor, completely equal. If Urkun is now
If he still calls Nurhachi "Big Baylor", doesn't that mean he is admitting that his master Shuerhaqi is still inferior to his elder brother Nurhaci? This is absolutely unacceptable.
Even though they Jurchens have not read any books, political correctness often does not require reading at all. It may not even be learned from reading at all, but can be learned from actual experience. Urkun can
To become the right-hand man of Shuerhaqi, how can one not have this kind of political consciousness?
"In the next moment, I was impatient and even made a slip of the tongue..." Wuerkun didn't want to be entangled in the title, and hurriedly changed the subject: "Although the left guard Baylor and Jianzhou are two parts, they are from the same source. My master, the right guard Baylor, must not want to see the left guard.
Because of today's changes, the Yi tribe has been angered by Master Gao, please Zuowei Baylor think twice."
"What do you think I am going to do? Ha, I think you are overly worried." Nurhaci put away his smile and said calmly: "I am General Longhu of the Ming Dynasty, the commander-in-chief of the Jurchen coalition to aid Korea. Since Dong Zongrong has friendly troops this time,
Difficult... Even though he is unkind, I cannot be unjust, so I will naturally help him."
When Wuerkun heard this, he was doubtful. In order not to be implicated by Nurhaci, although he felt a little embarrassed to speak, he finally couldn't help but asked: "Really? Dare you ask Zuowei Baylor how he plans to help?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Nurhachi looked surprised and said: "Of course I will help him fight against the Japanese pirates - otherwise what else can I do?" After a pause, he smiled again: "
But if you don’t dare, I won’t force you.”
Wuerkun was immediately furious, his eyes widened and he said, "It's just killing Japanese, why shouldn't I dare?"
"Really?" Nurhachi laughed and said, "Then let me kill the enemy!" Then without giving Urkun any time to think, he suddenly got on his horse, drew his sword and pointed at the sky, shouting: "Jurchen warriors, follow me!"
I will kill the enemy!" After saying that, Nurhachi drew his horse and rushed forward.
When Wuerkun saw that he was indeed going in the direction of the Japanese pirates' nearest attack, he thought that he had indeed misunderstood him. After heaving a sigh of relief, he hurriedly ran to find his own horse. He mounted his horse and called on his own soldiers to follow Nurhaci in pursuit.
The Japanese troops fought together in front of them.
But what Wuerkun didn't expect was that because the Ming army battalions were all ordered to stay on the spot, their Jurchen generals of about 300 people and their elite soldiers took the initiative to attack, causing the Japanese army to attack.
They quickly discovered something was wrong.
Originally, Nabeshima Katsushige had no choice but to turn a sneak attack into a full-scale attack because the Ming army's camp was temporarily set up after the explosion and the interior was relatively haphazard.
In fact, Nabeshima Katsushige was also very anxious at this time. His military strength was actually only about a quarter of the Ming army. If he could not quickly defeat the middle army of the Ming army and cause the Ming army to completely collapse, then once the Ming army reacted and launched a counterattack,
, maybe you will have to steal the chicken but lose the rice, and it is not impossible that the whole army is even defeated here.
Now Nurhaci suddenly appeared, and they were extremely brave. They easily killed the Japanese army in front of them and almost killed them. How could they not attract his attention? So Nabeshima Katsushige immediately identified the position of the Ming army's center and used all his strength.
Assemble elites and attack fiercely.
Wu'erkun had already killed seven Japanese pirates at this time, and was getting ready to kill, when he suddenly heard Nurhaci yelling: "At this point in the battle, we have exhausted all our benevolence, Jurchen warriors - follow me to break through the encirclement and return to Xingxing!"
They had already almost killed the weaker Japanese enemy, so how difficult was it to break out of the encirclement now? Wuerkun followed Nurhaci in a daze and easily broke out of the encirclement, still a little confused, and asked
: "We were in the midst of a killing spree, why did we withdraw now?"
Nurhachi looked back and saw that the Japanese army had discovered that they were commanding Jurchens instead of Ming troops. They had given up the pursuit and turned to attack Dong Yiyuan's Chinese army tent. He couldn't help laughing: "Dong Yiyuan, insult me."
Isn’t there a price?”
