Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After being defeated and retreating to Anshan City, the Jin army obviously lost their fighting spirit, but they still stayed in the city to save their lives.  The generals of the Jin army knew this very well, and now they were very uneasy when they saw that the Ming army outside the city actually dropped a letter of persuasion to surrender into the city.

    None of these people dared to make the decision without authorization, so they immediately told the matter to Huang Taiji, who was resting.  After hearing the report, Huang Taiji's face became even more ugly.  Although they always suffered losses in Liaodong in the past, they were on the land of the Ming Army after all. They would only suffer setbacks if they did not occupy a favorable advantage. He could still endure it.  But something like this happened today. The 70,000 elite cavalry were beaten by the Ming army to the point where they could hardly fight back. This was beyond his bottom line. Now the Ming army was so blatantly besieging the city to persuade them to surrender, which made him even more angry.  burn.  []

    "That's unreasonable!" Huang Taiji stood up suddenly, but coughed because of the momentary excitement.  After a long while, he calmed down: "I have ordered you to collect all the letters urging surrender. But anyone who dares to hide this thing privately will be punished as a spy and will be killed!"

    "Yes, I will give the order right now!" Everyone quickly agreed, and now it seems that there is only one way.  But many people also have doubts about this method. With so much paper entering the city, how can it be possible to recover it all?  And this will inevitably make the soldiers feel uneasy. The only one who will be hurt will be the Jin Army himself, and it may even cause some conflicts.  However, looking at the current appearance of the Great Khan, these people still had the good sense not to say anything, otherwise they would be afraid that the Great Khan would operate first.

    It wasn't until everyone retreated that Fan Wencheng, who had been accompanying Huang Taiji, said: "Great Khan, I'm afraid that Anshan City cannot withstand the Ming army's attack. This city is neither high nor thick, and  The Ming army also has very sharp artillery to help them. If they are really determined to attack us, I'm afraid"

    "Of course I know this, but if we retreat, we will reach Liaoyang, and then Shengjing. Those are the foundation of our Dajin. Once the Ming army breaks out there, the damage to our Dajin will be too great. Even if  If we repel them, our Dajin will be severely damaged, and it will be difficult to do anything from now on." Huang Taiji said helplessly.

    Fan Wencheng could only admit that what Huang Taiji said was that only by defeating the Ming army in this area could they regain their strength, otherwise it would be too late.  Can the Jin army still be a match for the Ming army in its current state?  Even if they don't use firearms, they are far superior to the Jin Army in terms of morale and strength alone, not to mention that defending the city is not the Jin Army's specialty.

    The only way now is to see if we can change from defense to offense and use surprise troops to defeat the Ming army.  After some thought, Fan Wencheng then said: "Great Khan, this time the Ming army did not rush to attack after surrounding us. It seems that they also have concerns. I think their concerns should be in two aspects.  , firstly, they are afraid that they will suffer too much damage, and secondly, they are afraid that after they wipe out us all, they will be hidden by all the birds. So I think they will definitely leave some room for this siege. In this way, our  The opportunity may come.¡±

    "Huh? You mean that the reason why they besieged but not attacked was out of selfish motives? What good would that do to us?"

    "Of course there are benefits. I know the minds of the Han people very well. They always like to be jealous of other people's talents. The greater your contribution, the more likely you are to be hated by others. Tang Feng, who led the troops to attack us this time,  He has made too many contributions, wouldn't the people in their court be worried? And this Tang Feng is also a person who has still been in a high position after many battles. He must be very clear about this, so I think he must  It won't really kill us all.

    "As long as he has the slightest doubt in his heart, we can save ourselves. So if you ask me, we should take the initiative to attack. Not only is this trapped city not familiar to our Dajin soldiers, but it will also greatly dampen the confidence of the soldiers.  Now they have sent a letter of surrender into the city, which gives us a chance to counterattack. We can pretend to open the city gate, and then suddenly kill them by surprise. We should be 70% to 80% sure of defeating them!" Fan Wencheng analyzed carefully!  road.

    After Huang Taiji listened to his words and pondered for a while, he had to admit that this was indeed the only way to turn defeat into victory.  The current Jin Army may still be supported for a while because of his identity as the Great Khan, but as long as this continues, everyone's confidence will soon collapse.  When the time comes, the Ming army will send in letters urging them to surrender, and they will be able to win without a fight.  "Okay, we will do as you say. Even if we really can't kill them, we won't be trapped here."

    At this time, in the Ming army formation outside the city, some generals looked at Tang Feng in confusion. They didn't understand why he suddenly stopped attacking. He only surrounded Anshan City and threw some surrender letters into it, but nothing else.  Take action.  In the eyes of these people, now is the time when the Ming army's morale is at its peak. If they don't attack the city now, then when will they wait?

      But Tang Feng refused this approach. He and everyone analyzed: "In terms of personal combat power, who is stronger and who is weaker among us Ming soldiers and slave builders?" Even the most confident people can't understand this point.  He didn't dare to choose the soldiers of the Ming army, so Tang Feng said again: "Once they are forced to a corner, we cannot estimate how much power those Jin people will burst out, so I am not in a hurry to attack the city immediately. Of course.  , if we use artillery, the situation will be different, but everyone should not forget that in addition to this city, there are many cities in the Kingdom of Jin, and the cities of Liaoyang and Shenyang are stronger than them. The strength of our artillery  The consumption is too great, and now there are difficulties in logistical supply, so it¡¯s better to use less.¡±

    Most people can understand Tang Feng's concerns, so the generals who had been saying they wanted to lead troops to attack the city fell silent.  But they still have their own opinions: "My lord, what should we do in this case? Can the Jin people surrender just by relying on those leaflets? I'm afraid it's impossible, right?"

    Tang Feng smiled and said: "Of course I know that this is impossible to do. This place has reached the hinterland of the Jin people. Most of the people in the city are Jin people and there are few Han people. Doing this can only disturb their minds, but it will be difficult to reach them.  The effect of Yingkou. But I don't expect them to really surrender, because that will be a trouble. I just want to give them some illusions, so that the Jin people will mistakenly think that we still have room for them, so that they will not stick to it.  This is the city."

    "Do you mean to lure the snake out of its hole?" Wu Sangui was the first to react and asked.

    "Yes, with the temperament of the Jin people, they will never stick to the city at this time. Instead, they will try their best to come out and fight us. And if we make such a gesture now, they will have an opportunity to take advantage of it.  The feeling. In this case, do you think they will continue to stay in this small Anshan City?"

    "The Duke is wise, let's go and prepare to fight him." The generals said hurriedly.  The impatient one has already stood up and is about to go out to arrange manpower.

    "Wait a minute, we must do this secretly, and we must not let the Jin people see any clues in the city. Also, send me the artillery and muskets to several city gates. As soon as they open the city gate,  Regardless of whether they surrender or attack, I will suppress them with artillery immediately. This time, we will let Jiannu know our determination!" Tang Feng added at the end.  When he said this, his face was full of murderous intent, which made some people around him shiver unconsciously.

    When he went to conquer the Kingdom of Jin, Tang Feng had already made up his mind to eliminate this foreign enemy once and for all.  Therefore, he will use some extraordinary means this time, mainly to kill the enemy's physical strength. Even though this may bring great damage to his reputation, for the future of the Han nation, he can no longer care about this.

    The various atrocities committed by the Manchu Qing Dynasty in history after entering the customs are deeply hated by people, not to mention that in its last days, it was oppressed by Western countries because of its stupidity and backwardness, which ultimately caused the Chinese nation to decline for a hundred years. Since  They pose such a great threat to the Chinese nation, so they simply destroy it. Even if there are criticisms, Tang Feng admits it. Besides, he doesn't think many people will say that he is wrong. History is always written by the victors.  , as long as you succeed, you will only be respected as a hero by future generations.

    With this in mind, Tang Feng has repeatedly killed in the previous battles, and here, he will eliminate all the last guarantees of the Jin Kingdom.

    At noon the next day, Anshan City, which had been silent for a while, finally made a sound, and then the city gate to the south slowly opened. The first thing that poked out was a white flag, which symbolized  Sign of surrender.

    Although the soldiers all received military orders from above, when they saw this scene, everyone was still greatly encouraged and overjoyed.  The Jin people have always besieged the cities they defended. This time they were not only able to attack them in turn, but also forced them to surrender. This was a supreme honor for the soldiers.

    But there are some people who are not swayed by this excitement. They are the gunners.  At this time, they each held their breath and watched the situation at the city gate, calculating the angle of the artillery in front of them. This time they must blow down the entire city gate, so that they could win in one battle.

    Thousands of empty-handed Jin troops walked out of the city first. The leading Jin general shouted: "We are willing to surrender, and please convey our intention to Duke An Guo." The words were a little more polite.

    "Wait, let's report it to the Duke!" Someone in the Ming army formation here immediately picked up the conversation, turned around and ran towards the central army.  Some Ming soldiers had proud and relaxed smiles on their faces. It seemed that they had concluded that the Jin people were no threat.  And all this was spread into the city by the Jin people who left the city.

    In the city, wearing clothesThe neat Huang Taiji and all the soldiers were cheered up. Huang Taiji had already drawn out the sword he carried with him. The others also unsheathed their swords and strung their bows. With just one order, they could rush out as soon as possible.  , attacked the Ming army camp with lightning speed and defeated it.

    The soldiers seemed to have seen the enemy's blood and body before their eyes. Everyone's eyes were filled with bloodthirsty light. White steam kept coming from the horse's nostrils, and the four horse hooves trampled restlessly back and forth on the ground.  Move, have enough momentum!

    After a while, there was a flurry of flags in the Ming army formation outside the city. Huang Taiji felt happy when he saw it, guessing that Tang Feng had come out to meet him.  In this way, he and his troops could quickly find the target of the attack, kill the enemy in one fell swoop, and take the initiative in the battle. Therefore, he immediately ordered the army to prepare. Once Tang Feng showed up, it would be the time for them to attack.

    But then the words from the Ming army put an end to Huang Taiji's wishful thinking: "My father-in-law has something to say. In order to express the sincerity of your country's surrender, I would also like to ask your Khan to come out of the city and meet in my camp. In this way, both of us can  Only then can we live in peace!" In one sentence, he cut off any possible conspiracy by the other party.

    "What a cunning guy!" Huang Taiji cursed bitterly, but for a moment there was nothing he could do.  But then he had another thought: "Actually, he has already arrived in front of the formation, otherwise the flags would not move like this. It seems that I have to take a gamble." Thinking of this, Huang Taiji immediately sent an order: "To the  The Ming army attacks on the left, where Tang Feng's main army is!"

    "What, you Jin people don't even have this bit of sincerity? In this case, we have no choice but to continue the war!" The soldiers outside the city still shouted loudly according to Tang Feng's instructions, but in fact, all the soldiers of the three armies have done their best.  Preparations were made, and more than ten artillery pieces and hundreds of muskets were deployed where Tang Feng's commander's flag was, but Tang Feng was not there at this time.

    "The Southern Barbarians are pushing too hard. Warriors, kill them all. Kill all those who dare to be enemies with me, Dajin!" With a loud shout, the remaining 40,000 or so Jin troops rushed straight from the city gate.  Then came out, led by the general, and rushed towards the direction of the handsome flag on the left side of the Ming army.  Everyone's eyes were filled with endless murderous intent, they were howling meaninglessly, and the knives and bows in their hands were raised high.  They wanted to avenge their previous defeat, let the Ming army know how powerful their Dajin warriors were, and kill all these enemies who only knew how to use conspiracy and firearms.

    Seeing that the enemy really had other ideas, the Ming army officers and soldiers had sneers on their faces. As expected, as my father-in-law expected, these Jin people have no intention of peace talks at all!  Immediately, the thousands of troops in front who were just showing off and blocking the Jin man's sight suddenly dispersed and retreated, revealing the cold and dark artillery hidden behind them.

    The first sight of the Ming army's front troops starting to scatter made the Jin army excited. Many people accelerated their charge. They seemed to be able to feel the pleasure of cutting into the enemy's body with the steel knife in their hands.  .  But then the muzzle of the artillery that appeared in front of them broke their dream.

    When the Jin army, which was advancing at full speed, saw the red light flashing from the muzzle and making a shocking sound, it was too late to make any reaction. Like a moth flying into the flame, it faced the flying incoming gun.  Iron nails and iron sand also faced death.

    The hundreds of people in the lead were no longer human, and even the men and horses were turned into gourds of blood.  The cavalry behind them were not spared either, because the distance was closer and the artillery fire was so concentrated that thousands of cavalry rushing towards them were immediately knocked off their horses.  At the same time, the musketeers who had been well prepared also opened fire, and hundreds of muskets fired another wave of intensive attacks, which cut off the hope of the Jin army that could still survive.

    Seeing that thousands of the most elite troops were turned into real cannon fodder in an instant, Huang Taiji, who had already fought out of the city with the army, felt a pain in his heart and a mouthful of blood rushed out.  But the situation that made him distressed continued. Almost at the same time, the other Ming troops also showed their ferocious faces. Without too many words, they also followed the sound of cannons and attacked the Jin army.  At this time, the morale of the Jin Army was already in chaos with the bursts of gunfire.

    "Kill!" The soldiers of the Ming Army, led by the Liaodong Army, rushed towards the Jin Army on horseback with rare fearlessness, and then there was a hand-to-hand fight.  Although the Jin army is still stronger than the Ming army in terms of personal combat power, under such circumstances, how much more can their martial arts be used?  And the Ming army cooperated with each other to kill the enemy. There were spearmen attacking the enemy's cavalry, there were also sword and shield men who cut down the horse's hooves, and there were even soldiers with axes preparing to chop off people's heads. They were far superior in strength.  In the case of the enemy, it completely occupies an overwhelming advantage.

    Soon, the Jin army collapsed because the artillery fired again, this time it was the Anshan city wall behind them that was attacked.  That's not very strong to begin with.A large section of the wall collapsed immediately, crushing many Jin troops to death.  As a result, even if they wanted to return to the city, they would not be able to do so.

    "Why? Why is this happening?" Huang Taiji almost shouted, but no one around him could answer his question.  Seeing the soldiers fall one by one, everyone had only one thought left in their minds: "What should we do?"

    "Obviously, the Ming army had no intention of keeping them alive at this time, because every time they charged and killed, there were no Jin soldiers on the ground who could survive. This was just killing.  This scene has happened before, but it was the Jin people killing the Ming army. When this scene happened in reverse, the fighting spirit of the Jin army was completely shattered.  They are human and have fears.

    Some people wanted to lay down their weapons and surrender, but the soldiers of the Ming army were already red-eyed. As long as they saw someone with a tail on their head, no matter whether they were a threat or not, they would cut them to the ground with one knife without any intention of taking them.  means captive.  After understanding this, Jin Jun did not dare to fight against these killing gods who looked like they came out of hell.

    "Great Khan, let's go east quickly (to break out of the encirclement. Otherwise, I'm afraid" Fan Wencheng didn't wake up until this moment. He clearly knew that Dajin was really going to end this time.

    Huang Taiji moved staggeringly on his horse. Another mouthful of blood came out of Huang Taiji's mouth. He nodded helplessly and said, "Just do as Mr. Fan wants!" After saying this, he lay on the horse and passed out.
