Chapter 231 Just give me some face
Beiledudu and Gushan'erzhen Saharin led 3,000 cavalry to attack Qufu under Daishan's order. However, because they had previously received Huang Taiji's order, Qufu could only rob but not massacre the city, especially the people of Kong Sheng's family. Du Du feels that the operability of this matter is a bit difficult.
The city wall of Qufu is not high, only five meters. A person standing on a war horse can climb the wall with one strong leap.
"The combat effectiveness of the Nanmanzi Guards is not as good as the frontier troops in Liaodong. The Great Khan had previously ordered not to massacre the city or kill the people of Qufu, but they can be robbed. We are short of money. After entering the city later, we will send people to check the surnames." We will protect Kong’s mansion and ignore the rest.”
Du Du said and waved his troops to gallop, and Saharin smiled and said: "The Haug army went to Jinan. I heard that money is tight there. Let's grab it quickly. We can't let the people with the two yellow flags take over." The majority of the profit has been taken away, leaving only a few benefits in the hands of our two red flags."
"Wuna barbarian, listen up, the Great Gold Heavenly Soldiers are here, don't surrender the city quickly. If you still resist stubbornly, when the city is broken, I will teach you how to know whether the long swords in the hands of my Great Gold Heavenly Soldiers are sharp or not..."
"Hey, you have to follow the rules to pay him back..."
Chen Cao couldn't help but made a rude comment: "What do you think you call us Nanbarbarians?"
The flag was naturally hidden. Otherwise, if these people knew that Chen Cao was here, wouldn't they be frightened and run away?
However, it was Chen Cao's wishful thinking. Du Du and other young nobles from the Eight Banners did not take Chen Cao seriously at all, and with Ma Su's blessing, the musket was useless.
Moreover, when He Heli and An Feiyanggu led an army of 20,000 to attack Chen Cao's Nanjing Right Guards formation, the Nanjing Right Guards at that time had advanced flintlock rifles, and they were not only rushed by the two big guys to seize the way. escape.
Thinking about how people on the Internet would often call him "Northeast Barbarian" in later generations, Chen Cao thought that he was the scapegoat because of "I am the Qing Dynasty".
"The Jurchen barbarians have learned some of our culture and dare to call us Nan barbarians. It's really abominable." Chen Cao spat out a mouthful of phlegm: "When the fight breaks out later, let the sharpshooters in the army take care of those few I will attack Jiannu dressed as a general, and I must wipe them out under the walls of Qufu."
"yes..."
Saharin followed them all the way, especially in Shandong. The resistance of the Ming people was the least. The five counties south of Dongchang Prefecture even took the initiative to surrender. There was no resistance from the established organizations, except for fighting at Shuanghekou in Caozhou. Outside of a big battle, he always felt like a hungry wolf among the sheep.
"General Wu Na Ming Dog, please quickly open the city and surrender. My Great Khan remembers the hometown of Saint Kong and cannot bear the suffering of you, so he actively donates his gold and silver treasures. Our great golden heavenly soldiers will never disturb the people, otherwise when the city is destroyed, you and others will Death is certain."
Saharin had already decided that after breaking through Qufu, he would turn all the Ming troops in the city into his dog slaves and use them to farm the land.
Naturally, they didn't know the layout of Qufu. If they had known it in advance, they wouldn't have so rashly rode within a hundred steps of the city. The Jurchens looked down on those Ming people who had no power to restrain a chicken.
'Bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...'
A sudden burst of gunfire suddenly reminded me that all the sharpshooters from each battalion and company of the Dingwu Army had gathered on the top of the city. There were at least a hundred people. Under the volley of gunfire, there was no living head of Saharin. He was immediately shot and killed. Become a sieve, if you fall off the horse, you will not survive...
Du Du was shocked. Saharin was Daishan's son, and now he died in Qufu City. After he returned, he still didn't know how his second uncle would punish him.
"How dare Ming Gou sneak attack and kill my General Dajin? Blow the trumpet and attack with the whole army..."
Amidst the whimpering of the trumpets, the three thousand and eight banner Jiannu soldiers headed towards the low-rise city of Qufu, like an overwhelming force.
"The whole army is ready..."
At this moment, the Dingwu soldiers who had been squatting under the city wall on the roadside all stood up with their guns raised after hearing the order. Although the horse path was not wide, it was still enough to accommodate the three-stage shooting square formation.
Du Du was shocked when he saw the soldiers holding firearms at the top of the city. He quickly reined in his horse and said, "Stop...stop quickly..."
"Free Fire..."
'Bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...'
'Bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...'
'Bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...'
There was a loud sound of gunfire, and the flintlock gun was not comparable to old-era firearms such as matchlocks. With lead bullets flying everywhere, the golden soldiers on the war horses were hit mercilessly like moving targets.
The casualties immediately rose to four to five hundred people.
There was a sound of arrows in the sky, and the panicked Jiannu turned their horses and retreated quickly. They knew how sharp the Ming people's firearms were, so how could they dare to attack recklessly again.
Squeak...
The city gate was opened, and Chen Cao rode out with Zhao Xin and Cao Wenzhao's uncle and nephew, and stopped the horses until they were within the accurate range of the flintlock gun.
Zhao Xin rode forward and shouted: "Duke Liang of the Ming Dynasty is here. Who is the general leading the army of the Jurchen barbarians? Come quickly to see..."
"Chen Cao?"
Du Du was shocked: "Why is he here?"
More than 400 people were lost in the first wave of attack. He had three men and three horses under his command. It was no problem to run away. However, he heard that Chen Cao was coming out of the city with a few people, so he braved his horse and stopped at twenty paces. outside.
This distance is very safe. Even if the opponent wants to attack, the horse can accelerate within ten steps.
"My general is Dajin Beile Dudu, and the opposite is the Duke of Liang, Chen Cao?"
Chen Cao took the initiative to approach Du Du on horseback. It was not that he looked down upon Du Du. Even if he did not have a pistol on his waist, he was still confident that he could defeat Du Du with his own strength. Moreover, the distance of twenty steps was too far. If He spoke at the top of his voice so that the people in the city heard him and insisted on causing trouble.
Du Du was nervous for a while, but when he saw Chen Cao riding alone, he just grabbed his long knife with his hand.
"My lord, Chen Cao and Du Du, the Dukes of Liang Kingdom in the Ming Dynasty, even if Daishan and Mang Gurtai come, they must retreat honestly. Don't you know the agreement between me and Huang Taiji?"
Du Du was the heir of Chu Ying. Although he lost a lot of power, Huang Taiji did not treat them badly and still gave him the high position of Baylor. As a high-ranking noble of Dajin, how could he not know the relationship between his family and Chen Cao? dirty things.
"Dong Guo Liang, since our two families have an agreement, why do you want to kill so many of my people?"
Chen Cao looked embarrassed: "This is a misunderstanding. You have entered the hinterland of Ming Shandong. I have been ordered to go north to King Qin. If I don't drive you away here, once I go to Beijing, I will If we have to fight you with real swords and guns, do you think we can just kill more than 400 of you like now?
Give me some face, and evacuate with your men quickly. When my army arrives at Yanzhou Prefecture, you should evacuate quickly. You have plundered so many things, and Huang Taiji has made enough. Don’t let our two families suffer. Fighting with swords is the best policy. "
Du Du thought that was the case, but since entering Xifengkou, this was the first time that their Eight Banners army suffered such a big loss. They lost more than 400 people with red flags in one fell swoop. They didn't know how to give back after they returned. Give an account of kindness.
"If I go back like this, it will be difficult for Banner Lord Baylor to explain. Besides, you also killed Banner Lord Baylor's son. Whether or not to retreat depends on his wishes..."
Chen Cao looked at their costumes: "Are you two red flag people? Daishan is the leader of your flag, right? Go back and tell him that if he ruins Huang Taiji's plan, even if he has ten sons, he won't be able to kill him. By the way, if you ask him whether it is more important to enter the customs or to have a son..."
Du Du felt that Chen Cao in front of him was the real opponent he had encountered in all his years in the army. Hei Yunlong and Zhu Mei under Yuan Chonghuan's command in Liaodong were not on the same level as him.
A quarter of the three thousand people in front of me were dead, and the Great Khan and Chen Cao were collaborating. Thinking of this, he said: "Then Saharin's body."
Chen Cao turned around and looked, and then said: "It's useless for me to deal with him. You will send someone to deal with it later. Go quickly..."
Du Du handed over his hand and said reluctantly: "Thank you..."
.
"The Duke of Liang is really brave. He drove away the Jiannu cavalry by riding alone. I have no worries in the Ming Dynasty with Duke Liang here."
Not only the flattering Kong Yinren, but also Sun Guozhen felt that Chen Cao really had a trick, and after seeing the power of the Dingwu Army's muskets, he suddenly felt that his foreign gun team was somewhat incapable of handling it.
Chen Cao turned around and cupped his hands towards the group of people: "The army of Jiannu is just outside Yanzhou City. I am about to go to the rescue. Master Sun will lead his troops to stay here just in case."
Kong Yinzhi felt that it would be better to keep Sun Guozhen, who was a civil servant, than Chen Cao, a scoundrel: "That's it, Qufu has no soldiers, and it all depends on Lord Sun's protection."
Sun Guozhen also wanted to follow Chen Cao and continue to make contributions, but unfortunately the reality was so cruel, so he regretted: "It's a pity that I can no longer see the combat power of Liang Guogong's army."
.
'Bang...'
Dai Shan dropped a stolen official kiln porcelain cup in the tent. Du Du was also a Baylor, so he didn't have the courage to slap Du Du. Besides, he couldn't blame Du Du. Chen Cao had completely tricked them. A handful.
"Did he really say that?"
"It's absolutely true, Second Uncle, that guy also said that he would personally lead the troops here..."
He Heli had a good relationship with Daishan. Before Nurhaci's death, he supported Daishan to become the new Great Khan: "I, the Great Khan of Dajin, already had some concerns. Besides, Chen Cao just sent a shipload of firearms not long ago. If I fall out with him right now, I think Khan will definitely be angry."
"What should we do now?" Dai Shan looked at Yanzhou City in the distance: "Retreat the troops to find Hauge? If we leave like this, we will be laughed to death by Hauge..."
He Heli shook his head: "That's not the case. As the eldest son of the Great Khan, Hauge also knows how powerful it is. Besides, Chen Cao has many cavalry under his command, so he can't get rid of him."
Dai Shan shook his head endlessly: "It's a pity... I finally defeated the Nanbarbarians and ambushed them in Caozhou. I got such a big credit, but before I could get a comfortable place in Yanzhou Mansion, I met the plague god Chen Cao. That's all." ....
For the sake of our Daikin’s future, let’s give him a favor..."
