- The battle near Jincheng ended with the death of Mang Gurtai and the destruction of Zhenglan Banner.
For such a result, neither Zhao Hongyu nor Jay Chou was surprised. Because since they formulated this battle plan, they knew very well that victory must belong to their side.
The reason why you have such strong self-confidence is because you have sharp weapons.
Of course, the emergence of the Song Empire was not smooth sailing, and the process was also a bit bloody. It is also precisely because the Imperial Army is not a novice, and has experienced a lot of killings and has combat experience, that it has such confidence.
Especially Zhao Hongyu himself, with less than 10,000 troops in Kyushu, defeated the 13 Ming clans in Kyushu who combined to defeat more than 150,000 people.
This battle made Zhao Hongyu no longer worried about the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Army.
This time, Mang Gurtai led his army to attack. Although his troops were all elite cavalry, they only had more than 30,000 troops.
This small number of soldiers and horses was not taken seriously by Zhao Hongyu at all.
It¡¯s not just Zhao Hongyu who sees it this way, Jay Chou also sees it this way.
The battle under the capital of the Ming Dynasty a few months ago had already made Jay Chou understand the combat power of the Eight Banners of Houjin and the fighting methods of the Eight Banners.
With such an understanding, how could Jay Chou be afraid?
The Eight Banners relied on their large cavalry to often win battles and conflicts with the Ming army. This is understandable. After all, the Ming army lacks horses, and the infantry will definitely be at a great disadvantage.
But although the army of the Song Empire was also infantry, its weapons were ahead of other countries of this era.
Therefore, even if the Eight Banners has many cavalry and the soldiers are brave, what can they do?
Under the tactics of linear gun array and five-stage shooting, it is simply impossible to bring out the advantages of cavalry.
You simply can't rush to the front of the Song Empire Army's formation, you will be covered by a rain of lead bullets, and your whole body will be beaten into a sieve.
Not to mention that the Imperial Army is also equipped with field artillery, a powerful weapon, as well as wooden-handled grenades used in close combat.
Just these things. It is not difficult at all to defeat the 30,000 Zhenglan Banner army led by Mang Gurtai.
?In the end, the facts proved it.
Basically 90% of the 30,000-strong army was wiped out on this unknown plain. Only less than 10% of the soldiers and horses were left and fled back in a panic. They managed to save their lives.
And this guy Mang Gurtai was simply surrounded and killed by the soldiers of the Imperial Army after his defeat.
This guy didn¡¯t even have a chance to surrender.
Visible. When the most important cavalry in the cold weapon era encountered an army equipped with old-fashioned and sophisticated muskets, they were basically powerless.
It was also from this battle that organized musket units began to appear on the Eastern Continent, letting people know the power of muskets.
Of course, Zhao Hongyu was not worried at all that Hou Jin would use the same method to defeat the Imperial Army.
Let¡¯s not talk about whether there are such powerful gun-making craftsmen in Houjin. The muskets, gunpowder and lead bullets alone were enough to keep Houjin busy.
"It's impossible to build this kind of thing within a few years. Even if it is built, whether it can be used is still a problem.
With all his own cheating devices, Zhao Hongyu can be confident that he has weapons that are always ahead of the world. This is also the source of his confidence and confidence.
The invading army led by Mang Gurtai was defeated. It can be said that there will be no trouble here in Jincheng in a short time.
The loss of 30,000 horses. It is very heavy for Houjin.
The Eight Banners of Houjin had a total population of less than 2 million (not counting Hans, Koryos and Mongols, only referring to Manchus). The capital lost 30,000 to 40,000 people in the first battle, and another 30,000 were accounted for here, adding up to more than 50,000. There are almost 60,000 people.
You must know that these soldiers and horses lost are all the best of the Eight Banners.
Especially the elite Zhenglan Banner led by Mang Gurtai.
There were only so many able-bodied men in the entire Later Jin Kingdom.
Even without detailed statistics. This can be estimated simply from its population of less than 2 million.
In this battle, if nothing else, it is certain that the number of Houjin Widows will increase. At the same time, the Zhenglan Banner suffered such a heavy loss and must have become the weakest of the Eight Banners.
"Compared to Zhenglan Banner's loss of 30,000 elites, Mang Gurtai's death did not?What happened.
It¡¯s just a noble Baylor, the son of Nurhaci.
But Houjin¡¯s strength is the foundation of his strength.
Not to mention that Jay Chou defeated Mang Gurtai and led his army back to Jincheng. It is said that the Zhenglan Banner troops who fled back fled all the way back to Shengjing. After spreading the word about the war, they immediately caused a panic in Shengjing.
"What! Mang Gurtai is dead! Only more than 2,000 of the 30,000 elite soldiers of Zhenglan Banner escaped!?"
Huang Taiji has been busy recently integrating the domestic situation. And competing for power with some nobles.
Huang Taiji actually didn¡¯t care about Mang Gurtai¡¯s death.
Because Mang Gurtai was not convinced by him and also had the power of Zhenglan Banner, it could be said that it was a thorn in his heart.
Therefore, when Huang Taiji heard the news that Mang Gurtai was dead, he would only be happy and not so shocked. After all, it was a good thing to have one less person who often didn't deal with him and caused trouble for him, right?
The reason why Huang Taiji was so shocked was because he heard about the losses suffered by Zhenglan Banner.
Out of the thirty thousand Zhenglan Banner elites, 90% were lost in Jincheng.
You know, they are all strong and strong, not old and weak.
¡°Besides, the population of the entire Zhenglan Banner is only over 200,000. Excluding the old, weak, sick, disabled and pregnant, Zhenglan Banner only has these 30,000 elites.
It¡¯s good now that Mang Gurtai didn¡¯t say anything about his own death after a battle, but instead handed over all the elite members of the Zhenglan Banner.
With the loss of these soldiers and horses, if there is another war in Houjin in the future, the troops sent by Zhenglan Banner will be old and weak.
The Manchu general who was kneeling in front of Huang Taiji raised his head to secretly glance at Huang Taiji's reaction, and then quickly lowered his head.
"When I return to the emperor, those soldiers who fled back did indeed say so."
Poof!
Huang Taiji couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of old blood. His whole body shook and his eyes went black. His face turned pale and he stumbled backwards.
Your Majesty! emperor!
Take care of your dragon body.
Huang Taiji¡¯s minions on the side suddenly panicked. Fortunately, someone had quick hands and eyes to support him, otherwise Huang Taiji would have fallen to the ground.
For a moment, he was fanned, and the air was flowing smoothly, and the whole room was in chaos.
After a long time, Huang Taiji finally calmed down and finally woke up.
"Mang Gurtai deserves to die!"
The first thing Huang Taiji said when he woke up was that Mang Gurtai deserved to die.
Yes. Mang Gurtai really deserves to die.
Because he ruined all the thirty thousand elite Hou Jin.
"Don't tell him that there are more than 2,000 people who have fled back. Those people have been destroyed."
At least, it will be impossible to get rid of the shadow of defeat within a year or two.
¡°Besides, it¡¯s impossible for such a huge Zhenglan Banner to be supported by more than 2,000 soldiers and horses.
And if there is a war, how many troops can Zhenglan Banner bring out?
You always have to leave some seeds for Zhenglan Banner.
so. Zhenglan Banner is also considered abolished.
The Eight Banners of the Later Jin Kingdom were famous, but now they have become seven.
The Zhenglan Banner was destroyed. This was not just a matter of shame.
The rise of Houjin was originally caused by fighting.
And now Hou Jin is seeking to use troops against the tribes of Eastern Mongolia, and it is now at a more critical juncture.
If this news gets out, it will have a huge impact.
Not to mention how the tribes in Eastern Mongolia will react, even the Ming Dynasty will give people a headache.
"Your Majesty. Your Majesty, please be patient. Maybe it's just a rumor." A eunuch cautiously advised at this time.
Rumors?
Huang Taiji shook his head, his face extremely pale.
He doesn¡¯t believe these are rumors anymore.
Because he knew that no one would have the guts to spread such rumors in Shengjing.
At the same time, he thought of the strange army he led and encountered under the capital city of the Ming Dynasty.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
After thinking about the army he encountered, Huang Taiji's body trembled violently.
If Mang Gurtai encountered this army. Then this is understandable.
"Have Rongze come to my place right away. I have something to ask him."
At this time, Huang Taiji's face was uncertain, turning white and black for a while, as if it was changing color.
To be honest, Huang Taiji was scared of being beaten in the battle in the capital city of the Ming Dynasty.
He had never seen a battle that could turn into a hellish scene. Especially the latter side of the Jin army was beaten by one side.
??Every time I think of this battle. The fat on Huang Taiji's face could not help but tremble.
terrible!
Loud explosions, scenes of stumps flying everywhere, and enemies killing expressionlessly.
Are these fucking people still human?
He is simply a devil who exists for the purpose of killing. These people are Shura who escaped from hell.
The troops stationed in Jincheng might be these people.
Huang Taiji judged.
Soon, a middle-aged man wearing a Manchu costume and a Manchu official hat walked in from outside the house with his back bowed and led by a young eunuch.
"Slave Rongze bows to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor. Long live the Emperor."
Huang Taiji came back from his chaotic thoughts and looked at Rong Ze who was kneeling in front of him.
"Rongze, let me ask you, what is the difference between the Ming army stationed in Jincheng?"
Rongze didn¡¯t know why Huang Taiji suddenly became interested in Jincheng.
Putting aside the doubts in his heart, Rongze replied: "Your Majesty, since an army stationed in the abandoned Jincheng of the Ming Dynasty three months ago, I have sent scouts to investigate. So I think this is the right place for you. I have some understanding of the Ming army here in Jincheng, and I also know that the Ming army in Jincheng is very different from the Ming army in the past"
Listening to Rong Ze¡¯s story, Huang Taiji¡¯s face became increasingly ugly. - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
