"The flag is fluttering, the horse is rustling, the gun is on the shoulder and the knife is on the waist, and the blood is like a frenzy..." In the city of Beijing, the officials were in chaos, crying and trying every means to prevent Emperor Chongzhen's handsome army from leaving the city to fight the enemy.
At that moment, a majestic singing sound could be heard faintly from several miles away.
"It's him! It's him who's here!" Chongzhen seemed to be connected to the visitor. Suddenly he became energetic. He excitedly pushed through the crowd surrounding him and rushed to the top of the city. A black moving Great Wall appeared in the distance.
The loud singing became increasingly clear along with the rumble of horse hooves.
Not caring about maintaining his own image, Emperor Chongzhen pulled Wang Chengen beside him and shouted: "My army is here! My savior is here! The Ming Dynasty is saved!" He finally came. At the most critical moment of the Ming Dynasty, he did not
Forgot your promise!
Reinforcements? Could it be that Yuan Chonghuan's Guan Ning cavalry has arrived? This is great. With reinforcements, we can hold on for a while. If we are lucky, we can wait until the Qinwang army from various places arrives. That might really make the Tatars realize their difficulties.
Retreat! The ministers also rushed to the top of the city, lying on the wall and looking far into the distance.
"Blast the drum! I want to tell him that I haven't broken my promise! I have been sticking to it!" Chongzhen picked up the drum hammer with his own hands and banged it hard.
"Dong-dong-dong-"
As if infected by the emperor, the already sluggish defenders on the city wall managed to cheer up and beat the war drums feebly, telling the army outside the city that the city of Beijing had not been lost!
"Report——" A Tatar cavalry rushed in front of Huang Taiji and reported: "Your Majesty, an army of unknown origin suddenly appeared behind our army!"
"I've seen it all!" Huang Taiji raised the clairvoyance in his hand. He also heard the singing just now. Although he was surprised that the scouts he sent didn't send a warning in advance, he couldn't allow him to think so much now. "You guys.
Who knows where this army came from?"
"Go back to the emperor, I don't know!" Amin, who has been fighting against the Ming army in Liaodong for a long time, has never seen such a strange army. They are dressed in black and have black helmets, no bright armor, no spears and swords shining with cold light; but with their
After years of experience, he had a vague feeling that this sudden army was not easy to deal with.
Fan Wencheng was also confused. Judging from their clothes, they looked very much like a certain army in history. Moreover, he seemed to have heard the singing somewhere. The weapons they carried on their shoulders could not be clearly seen, but at least they should be
Firearms such as flintlock guns. It seems necessary to remind his master not to get into trouble at this time. "Your Majesty... From what I see, it is better to deal with it carefully!"
"Well..." Huang Taiji also noticed the difference of this army, but he didn't think that a group of bumpkins without swords and guns could pose much of a threat to him. He ordered to the people around him: "Jilharang
, lead your warriors to annihilate all the people who came to me! I want the group of Ming people in the city to see the power of my army, so that they will not delay!"
"Cha!" In Jierhalang's view, this is his emperor brother taking care of him. Being able to annihilate the enemy's reinforcements under the enemy's city and finally forcing the enemy to accept the surrender agreement is not a huge achievement.
?
"Six miles away from the enemy -" Starting from more than ten miles away, the scouts were constantly estimating the distance to the enemy.
Zhu Youcong drew out the Emperor's Sword from his waist and raised it toward the sky, shouting: "Raise the flag! The whole army spreads out! Prepare to engage the enemy!"
At the command, a specially made dragon flag fluttered high. This was specially found by King Fu from the treasure house before the expedition. It is said that it was used by Emperor Zhengde when he personally conquered the Tatar tribe.
"The gun is lowered to the shoulder and the bullet is loaded!"
"The cavalry is coming with me to protect the two wings!"
As Lu Xiangsheng's order was passed on, the entire army organized the battle formation in an orderly manner. Years of training made them not panic at all even at this time. Everything was done step by step, and all movements were smooth and flowing...
"Four miles away from the enemy——"
"Don't panic, stand still! Aim, don't embarrass our best army in the world!" All the grassroots officers kept comforting their subordinates. It was their first time on the battlefield and they had not fought any battles.
Experience. But they trust their generals, the weapons in their hands, and believe that so many years of hard training will support them to victory. What's more, in front of them is the capital of the Ming Dynasty that they swore to defend with their lives. They must not be timid, because they
It is the pride of Ming Dynasty and the Great Wall of Ming Dynasty!
"Two miles away from the enemy——"
Although he had entered the shooting range of the rifle, Zhu Youcong still did not give the order to fire. He found that what was coming from the opposite side was only a small force with less than 20,000 people. He was so dark-hearted that he did not want to scare the Tatars like this.
He wanted to inflict heavy losses on the enemy under the walls of Beijing, rather than letting them run away with their tails between their legs. This was why he did not order the artillery units to start attacking, and also moved the cavalry to both sides.
"One mile away from the enemy——"
It has to be said that the Eight Banners of the Tatars in this era are still very effective in combat. Seeing that the enemy in front was frightened and motionless, the Tatars were too lazy to open their bows and shoot arrows. They howled and raised their swords.
, for them, one mile is just a blink of an eye, and then the sound of the sword cutting into the enemy's body will be even more beautiful.
"Fire!"
"Bang, bang, bang..."
A series of gunshots rang out, and tens of thousands of rifles fired. The soldiers pulled the triggers skillfully. They had no time to observe the enemy's losses. All they had to do was mechanically repeat the actions that had been practiced countless times.
They are soldiers. Once they go to the battlefield, their only purpose is to destroy all the enemies in front of them. The general said that there is no need for mercy towards the enemy. As long as there is no order, they cannot stop unless they themselves fall.
"Come on!" Looking at the tribesmen in front of him who kept falling, Jierhalang was angry. These damn Ming dogs! How could they treat my Qing warriors like this! They should be two-legged sheep and should stand obediently.
Let us hack and kill you there; instead of resisting with those monster-like weapons like now!
Suddenly, Jilharang felt the war horse stagger under his crotch, and then saw a flash of light flying straight towards him. He subconsciously turned his head and felt a burning pain in his ears; before he could react, a flash of light flew towards him.
His body seemed to be struck by countless hammers at the same time, and something seemed to be jumping around in his chest and abdomen.
"Pfft -" Jierhalang, who fell off his horse, raised his sword and wanted to continue shouting something; but he felt his throat was salty and what he blurted out was his own blood. No! I am not willing to give in! There are less than fifty steps ahead.
It's the enemy's brigade, I'm going to rush over! I'm going to chop them down until their corpses are everywhere! I'm going to let them see that I, the Qing warriors, are invincible!
After struggling to lift his leg for two steps, he was hit by another series of violent blows. Jierhalang felt that his infinite strength was fleeting, and he could not even move forward even an inch. Lowering his head, he discovered in horror
I don't know when countless blood holes have appeared on my strong body, and the red liquid is mercilessly spraying out. No! I can't fall like this! Not even the enemy's side is touched, and even the enemy's bow and arrow are not touched.
I didn’t realize that such a death would be humiliating, and the shaman god would not be attached to such a coward!
"Bang!" This was the last sound Jierhalang heard. Suddenly he felt that his head had turned into a ball of paste, and he knelt straight on the ground. His lowered head was drooping, as if
Repent for what.
"Xiang Xiang, what do you think?" Zhu Youcong did not look at the situation on the battlefield. In his opinion, the 20,000 enemy cavalry were not enough to serve as targets for his subordinates. He turned his head and smiled at Gao Doushu, who had been staying by his side.
….
"Ah?" Just now when the enemy started to charge, Gao Doushu felt that the whole earth was shaking. If the Zhenguo general beside him had not kept calm, and the soldiers in front remained unmoved, he didn't know what he would have done.
Huizhen couldn't help but draw his sword and charge forward; however, when the war started, he never closed his mouth again. Nearly 20,000 enemy cavalry could not get within 50 steps of these 20,000 to 30,000 infantrymen! Damn it!
Yes, is this still a war? This is simply a massacre!
And those soldiers, their expressions have not changed at all from the beginning to now, neither joy nor intolerance, as if they are Shura who does not know the joys and sorrows of the world. Such an army can no longer be described with any words that Gao Doushu has mastered.
When their commander gives an order, they can only say that they are a machine, an efficient killing machine!
The people watching the battle in Beijing were also stunned. They had just seen clearly that this army was not the Guan Ning cavalry led by Yuan Chonghuan at all, but it was more brave than the legendary invincible Guan Ning cavalry! Such a powerful army not only
Bringing fear to the enemy also shocked the heartstrings of our own people. No wonder the emperor never agreed to compromise! When did the Ming Dynasty have such a powerful army? The menacing charge of the Tatars did not have the slightest impact on them.
Instead, they fell dead in front of them like grasshoppers. The distance of less than a mile in the distance has now become a hell for the Tatars. It turns out that the Tatars will also feel afraid, and they will also feel afraid when facing death.
Struggling and wailing!
"Ten thousand victories!" Chongzhen could no longer express his excitement in words. This is the invincible army that eldest brother and brother Cong have mentioned many times! It is the army of my Ming Dynasty! No matter who it is, holding such a trump card in their hands
, Where else in the world can we go? Liaodong, I'm afraid it won't be long before the dragon flag of the Ming Dynasty is planted again! The Tatars, maybe in the future they will fall under the banner of the Ming Dynasty like those foreign races that have long since perished in history.
Under the iron heel!
"Wonderful victory! Wonderful victory!..."
For a time, the legs of the city guards no longer trembled, and their hearts were no longer afraid. The war drums in the city of Beijing were ringing loudly, and the flags were fluttering in the wind. Together with the emperor, they shouted out this slogan that they had never dared to think of just now.
