Seven Eighty Four Waves

    At about the same time, the Jinmeng coalition was on the position.

    Huang Taiji, the Great Khan of the Hou Jin Dynasty, was holding a monocular telescope to observe his opponents in the distance.  He had just gotten this new thing. It was also a short-haired product, but it was not captured from the Greenskin Army. It was part of the gift given to the Ming Dynasty by Qionghai Town.

    It stands to reason that this thing should be in the hands of a Ming army general at the moment, or at least it should be placed in a warehouse in the palace.  However, given the behavior of Ming Dynasty officials and eunuchs, it is not surprising at all that these things are leaking out. Therefore, Qiong Haijun has always been very taboo about snoring weapons from the Ming Dynasty, because they know that as long as the Ming Dynasty has them, it will not take long for the Jin Dynasty and the  The peasant army will all have them.

    So so far, the only military equipment they are willing to sell to the Ming Dynasty is artillery, ships, etc., which are huge in size, have obvious targets, and are not easy to be stolen and sold. The Ming court is quite sorry about this, and Huang Taiji is also sorry about it.  .

    After observing the military situation on the opposite side through the small round hole for a while, Huang Taiji handed the telescope to his son Hauge next to him and asked him to take a look too, while sighing softly.

    "Short-haired things are indeed very good, but it's a pity that there are not many available."

    Hauge clumsily imitated his father, lengthening and shortening the lens barrel to adjust the focus, and said with a grin.

    "There are plenty of people on the opposite side. Kill them all and you will be able to get it."

    Huang Taiji didn't say anything. Hauge's idea was still the traditional post-gold thinking, or in other words, the robber's thinking. If someone else has good things, he can snatch them away and make them his own.  As for what to do if you can't defeat or snatch it, it's just a dead word, so don't think too much about it.

    But Huang Taiji’s thoughts have gone beyond this category. As the leader of an established political group, the things he has to consider are far more than just “stealing other people’s things.”  Moreover, after years of tempering in state affairs, Huang Taiji has clearly realized that a little robbery may be able to support the current financial support, but there is no way to go further.

    In future generations, even if a company becomes bigger, it will seek transformation.  What's more, a political and military group. Historically, such groups, whether they are members of aristocratic families or homeless people, often have a rapid development process at the beginning. Bazhou Zhanfu is very prosperous, but when it reaches a certain level, if it does not transform in time, it will often face  The end of decline.

    The Yellow Turban Army at the end of the Han Dynasty, the Wagang Army at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the Huangchao Uprising at the end of the Tang Dynasty, and the Li Zicheng Peasant Army of the same era as Huang Taiji are all vivid examples of such transformation failures.  If it hadn't been for the incredible luck and the coercion of the peasant army's victory, Hou Jinn would have been one of these losers. The resources in the Liaodong region were not enough to support them in completing the transformation from a bandit group to a ruling nun.

    With Shanhaiguan firmly blocking their nearest route to invade the mainland, a long-distance attack detouring through the grasslands would certainly cause great damage to the Ming Dynasty. However, Houjin's own harvest was actually limited. Gold and silver could not be eaten or worn. Taking them back would only increase  inflation.  And how many of the really useful consumables such as food and utensils could reach Hou Jin's lair after traveling long distances on the grassland?  Together with the population, only three to four out of ten Dingkou who were kidnapped from the interior could reach Liaodong alive.  It can indeed replenish Houjin's manpower, but it only supplements consumption, and is not enough to make it develop and grow.

    Huang Taiji never expected that a few years later, Ming Dynasty and Dashun's snipe and clam would fight, and they, the fishermen outside the customs, would eventually get a big profit, and they would actually have the opportunity to become the lord of the Central Plains. At this moment, Huang Taiji could not see the future clearly.  .

    Of course, one thing is very clear. If we cannot defeat the strange group of enemies wearing green uniforms on the opposite side, the Kingdom of Jin will have no future.  Huang Taiji was very sure of this, so he did not hesitate to consume the prestige he had built up with his own subordinates and Mongolian allies over the years, and insisted on staying in the Gyeonggi area of ??the Ming Dynasty for so long, just to attract the main short-haired force to come and fight a decisive battle.

    After gathering the main combat power of Houjin and Mongolia, on the plains that are most suitable for cavalry, and under the conditions of creating all favorable fighter opportunities as much as possible, the outcome will be determined by a battle with the greenskin army!

    Just like the Saarhu War back then, they won the battle. From then on, the sea and the sky were brighter, and the northern Ming Dynasty still allowed them to run freely.  If we lose the battle, we can only retreat to our home base in Liaodong and find another way.

    Of course, there was no opposition within Houjin to Huang Taiji’s radical strategy. Determining the outcome in one battle sounded bold and refreshing, but after all, it entailed taking great risks.  Most cautious people are unwilling to take this approach.  Hou Jin has been able to reach this day because the leaders among them are not foolhardy, and they are not optimistic about this kind of fateful battle.

    Even the Saarhu War that year was not initiated by Houjin, they only passively responded to it.  It was Ming who wanted to decide the outcome in a battle.On the other hand, it turned out to be a complete defeat.

    Even Huang Taiji himself was actually a very cautious person and had always been prudent in other military and political matters. Why did he adopt an aggressive policy in this matter?  Those veterans didn't understand.

    But Huang Taiji finally convinced them, using a very simple vocabulary word.

    It has been nearly twenty years since the old Khan, King Qi, declared his hatred to heaven and raised his army.  It only occupied half of Liaodong, and it was still entangled with the Ming army outside the pass.  And how many years has it been since that group of short-haired people suddenly appeared?

    Full of plans, since they established their foothold on Qiongzhou Island, in just five or six years, this group of people has developed from Ming rebels who were also one of the "Four Bandits" to a major force in the Ming Dynasty.  Its influence also extended directly from a remote island overseas to the heart of the Ming Dynasty.  Not to mention that as long as there is a sea connection, everything is controlled by the Qiongzhen Navy.  In a few years like this, what kind of monster will Qiongzhen develop into?

    And the hostile attitude of this group of people towards Dajin is also very clear. Originally, one was in the south and the other in the north, and the two sides maintained a tacit understanding. Wouldn't it be best to cut the meat from Daming, this old and fat deer together?  But God knows what those green-skinned guys were thinking. They even traveled thousands of miles from Qiongzhou to Liaodong to start a war with Dajin!

    Until now, Huang Taiji still can’t figure out why Dajin and I have never offended each other, but where does Shorthair’s unforgettable and unreasonable hatred for them come from?

    Not only are they enemies of Daikin, they also try their best to support Daikin’s opponents.  Even the Dongjiang Army, which was about to be destroyed, was able to turn around after receiving the support of Short Hair. Now it is very active in southern Liaoning. Although it is not yet able to take the initiative to attack the inland, it has already involved a lot of the Jin Army.  Energy is more troublesome than during the Mao Wenlong period.

    Not to mention that the already huge Ming Dynasty court was gradually recovering with the support of money and food from Qionghai Town.  This is the core issue related to the life and death of the Great Jin Kingdom!

    "So, everyone"

    At that heart-to-heart meeting with his confidants, Huang Taiji put down his airs as the King of Khans and said sincerely:

    "It's not that Ben Khan wants to take risks, but the current situation forces us to do this. Those short-haired people are getting stronger every day. If this momentum cannot be interrupted, in another year or two,  I’m afraid we won’t even have the chance to take risks!”

    In this way, with great difficulty, he finally convinced the flag owner and the Taiji people to agree to go on this military adventure with him.  But is this strategy really the right one?

    Looking at the green-skinned military formation opposite, this question suddenly appeared in Huang Taiji's mind.  But then he quickly shook his head and forced this doubt out of his mind. No matter whether it was right or wrong, since he had come to this step, he could only persevere.  Defeating the enemies on the opposite side is the only way out now!

    Suppressing all the distracting thoughts and doubts in his mind, Huang Taiji focused entirely on the current enemy. At this time, he also heard Hauge’s evaluation.

    "Those greenskins are so powerful that they dare to use such a thin formation. As long as they break through at one point, the whole army will collapse!"

    After all, Hauge is a general who grew up and rose with Hou Jin. Although he has some flaws in his character, he still has military capabilities.  At this time, when I saw the opponent's formation through the telescope, my first reaction was to blurt out.

    Huang Taiji naturally saw clearly that Qiong Haijun's battle formation was a long trench dug on the ground, and the excavated soil was piled in front to form a bunker.  It looks like a long line of earth bags, with only one or two scattered on the loess ground.

    Human heads can be vaguely seen shaking in the trench, but most of the body below the shoulders is covered, and the distance between individuals is very loose. It takes several feet to see a person.  The short hair relied on this incredibly loose formation to form a defense line with a very small number of troops that was almost as wide as Hou Jin's tens of thousands of troops.

    If it were in the past, any military general in the Hou Jin Dynasty would have been overjoyed to see such a weak battle, and they would have killed him!  Not going to do a big harvest would be a disservice to the God of Immortality.  But now, after personally experiencing the intensity of the opponent's firepower, probably only a general like Hauge, with his noble status and simple and rough temperament, dares to say that he can defeat the opponent.

    Of course, Hauge is not completely brainless. He said that "as long as one breakthrough is made, the whole greenskin army will collapse", but he did not say "it will definitely be possible to break through."  Obviously, this "as long as" is the key.

    Can a breakthrough really be achieved?  Huang Taiji thought about it in his mind. He knew very well that the short-haired army's linear array looked quite thin, but if it really started to fight, it would immediately transform into a terrifying solid wall spitting iron and fire!  There is no hope of breaking through it without paying a heavy price.

      In fact, I have already prepared to pay the price. All the previous preparations and so many days of waiting were all for this moment.  But just like any gambler, he still hesitates before putting all his wealth on the gambling table.

    Do you want to bet on this store?

    Huang Taiji hesitated again. Being able to climb from a concubine who was not valued by his father to the all-powerful King Tiancong Khan step by step, he always had an intuition for controlling the situation.  Whether it will be successful or not, in the past, I would have some premonition before taking action.

    However, this time, there was only fog in front of him.  Will this battle be lost or won?  The future is bleak.

    But soon, he no longer had to hesitate. There was a sudden "boom" sound from the short-haired army position.

    After these days of training, Huang Taiji is no longer unfamiliar with firearms warfare. At this time, when he heard it, he knew that short-haired firearms were showing off their power again.  I have never heard this sound before. I don’t know if it is a gun or a cannon, but anyway, as long as it can make a sound, it is definitely not a good thing.

    "The fight started from so far away?"

    Huang Taiji was secretly surprised at first. According to previous experience, the army should not have entered the range of short-haired firearms at the moment, or did those guys come up with something new?

    But he was just surprised for a moment. He was not surprised by this situation now.  Anyway, those greenskins always come up with new things, and he has seen too much in these days.  After fighting with the Shorthair for more than half a month, the combat experience accumulated in the white mountains and black waters of Liaodong over the past few years was almost overturned.

    So although Huang Taiji was surprised, he was not panicked. He looked around and saw several balls of fire rising from the greenskin army position opposite, followed by several more "boom, boom, boom" sounds.

    At the same time, the consequences of the first roar had arrived. Suddenly, a "whoosh" scream came from the mid-air where the Jin army was gathering. Immediately afterwards, several places where big flags were held high or where people were densely packed, erupted.  b.

    Amid the sounds of people shouting and horses neighing, fire, smoke, blood, broken meat, as well as tattered armor and broken weapons were thrown around, and some pieces even splashed in front of Huang Taiji's horse.  He looked down and saw what seemed to be a few fingers and half a toe.

    This shot should have been aimed at the general's flag, but Huang Taiji cunningly set the flag far away from his true position, so it was only splashed with dust and dirt.  Most people would inevitably feel frightened if they saw such human remains, but Huang Taiji was unmoved at all. He didn't even pay attention to Hauge shouting "Father Khan, retreat quickly" from the side. Instead, he reprimanded him in a deep voice:

    "Idiot, didn't you see that they are attacking our flag! The more you run around at this time, the easier it is to attract attention. Just stand still and don't move!"

    This roar was not only aimed at Hauge, but also at the extremely nervous guards around him.  Those people are now considered veterans. As soon as the incident happened, they wanted to drag Huang Taiji to escape, but he sternly refused.

    Since it had been expected that this battle would be bombarded by short-haired artillery, Huang Taiji had issued extremely strict military discipline to generals at all levels in advance, requiring them to remain calm in such situations.  No one is allowed to shout and run around and collide with the array.  Anyone who disobeys will be killed without mercy!

    The strict orders in advance came into play at this moment. Although the army was bombarded by explosive bombs that were extremely rare in this era, the few places that were directly bombed were slightly confused, and they were quickly crushed by the powerful bombs.  Those who had the guts to run around, or those who were injured and shouted loudly, whether humans or animals, were all quickly killed.

    Even though the second round of bombardment that followed resulted in a higher casualty rate, the entire Jin Army formation strangely remained calm.

    However, Huang Taiji knew that this was already the limit, even though he had realized that the number of artillery pieces in the opponent's hand, which had far-reaching range and terrifying power, should only be three or four at the same time.  But after all, he couldn't force tens of thousands of people to stand here and let the other party bombard them wantonly.

    Huang Taiji, who has commanded the army for many years, is very clear that he is able to achieve this level now because of the power he has accumulated over the years. If the delay continues, the whole army will either go crazy and lose control or become disorganized. He must make an immediate decision.

    Looking up in a certain direction again, Huang Taiji breathed a sigh of relief.

    Fourteenth, I’m counting on you.

    The commander-in-chief of the Great Jin Kingdom finally raised a hand and slowly extended it forward.  The nearby messengers who had been paying attention to his movements immediately raised their horns, raised them to their mouths, and blew hard

    "Woo woo"

    The desolate sound of horns echoed over the wilderness, and at the same time, the tallest and most eye-catching Chinese army in the rear Jin army formationThe big flag also tilted over and pointed diagonally forward, where the short-haired army was.

    "Kill! Kill! Kill!"

    After three loud roars, the Jinmeng coalition brigade began to move forward slowly again.  Flags of various colors seemed to be overwhelming, and the waves, enough to drown everything, swept towards Qiong Haijun's position.
