"Raise the gun..."
"put..."
'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...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...'
The feeling of shooting cavalry with muskets in street battles is simply not very satisfying. When Yan Chun led a group of troops to rush to the front, hundreds of Tatar cavalry who had just crossed the formation had just adjusted their formation, and then looked towards this group. The Ming army, which was small in number, rushed towards them.
However, rifle bullets are not like the lead bullets of flintlock guns. As long as the people are concentrated, they will fly from the war horse and fall back. Even the war horse that is shot will fall to the ground quickly. The kinetic energy of the 7.62 mm rifle bullet is not enough to penetrate the war horse. It was so simple to penetrate, and the big hole that appeared behind him proved the power of the rifle.
"Master, Your Majesty has entered the city."
Yan Chun nodded, and then shouted: "Pass the order, with the company as a unit, all units of the 8th Division can attack freely, and be careful to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy."
After disembarking, the 28th Brigade of the 10th Division circled the city according to the established combat plan and attacked directly towards Nancheng. Their only mission was to cut off the Qing army's retreat route.
The battle in the city turned into a one-sided massacre after the 8th Division joined in. Even the brave two red flag cavalry had to bow their heads in front of their rifles. What surprised Chen Cao was that not one of the two red flags trapped in the city chose to surrender. , all died on the way to the charge.
Chen Cao stood at the gate of the Suqian County Government Office, looked at Zhao Xin and said: "The Jianzhou Tatars are indeed powerful. From now on, official documents will call them 'Qing Army' and give them an honor. I, Chen Cao, am worthy of this honor."
"It's your Majesty."
You Shiwei came on horseback. After dismounting, he stood at attention and saluted: "Your Majesty, the enemies in the city have been eliminated. My brothers You Shigong and You Shilu are still blocking the attack in Huangdunji. Please go to support immediately."
Chen Cao also mounted his horse and said: "Let's go."
The battle in Huangdunji was particularly fierce. The numerically superior officers and soldiers were actually defeated by the main force of the two red flags led by Daishan. By the time they reached the trench position of Huangdunji, they could no longer retreat a step.
Although the casualties of the officers and soldiers were quite heavy, Dai Shan did not gain much benefit. The casualties were nearly 3,000, and Xin Shan was also injured. Dai Shan retired for a moment after ordering the cavalry, preparing to charge again, striving to completely defeat the enemy in front of him. All the Ming army cavalry were wiped out.
However, at this moment, he suddenly heard a steady stream of gunfire from the direction of Suqian, and the source was in the city.
Xin Shan said: "Your Majesty, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time. Huang Dunji cannot fight anymore. I suggest you return immediately and go to Xuzhou from the direction of Siwu Mountain."
Daishan calmed down and felt that it was not a good thing to continue fighting like this. His subordinates were the elites of the Two Red Banners and could not be thrown away. Although there were still people on Yue Tuo's side, they were all members of the Han Army Banner. I can't believe it. The Two Red Banners in Beijing were only There are more than 10,000 cavalrymen. If they are all thrown here, the two red flags will fall from the top three flags to the back of the blue flag among the eight full banners. In the future, they will lose their right to speak in the Qing Dynasty.
"withdraw..."
When Daishan had just made up his mind to retreat along the original route, Cao Wenzhao's troops had already set up a position on the official road where Daishan had come before. The 28th Brigade gathered all the 10th Division's Crouching Tiger Artillery, a total of 120 pieces. , Cao Wenzhao, who commanded the vanguard, was confident that he would use this melee tiger crouching cannon to catch the Tatar cavalry off guard.
"Your Majesty, something bad has happened. The way back has been cut off, and a large number of Ming troops are blocking the official road."
Daishan couldn't sit still after hearing this, so he rode out and saw thousands of Ming troops blocking the center of the official road. Moreover, those people dug a simple trench on the official road and placed half a man's height in front of the trench. mud bag.
"Your Majesty, please charge me once."
"good..."
More than a thousand cavalry launched a charge towards Cao Wenzhao, and a hundred steps away from the formation, gunshots were fired loudly, and tiger squatting cannons were fired. More than a thousand people suffered heavy casualties immediately, and Niu Lu, the leader, had to order a retreat. When they returned, only less than 600 people remained from more than a thousand people.
"this..."
Daishan opened his mouth but couldn't speak. Now he understood that he couldn't run away.
"Your Majesty, I will stay here. Your Majesty and his soldiers will evacuate from the southeast direction of the battlefield and enter the hinterland of Mount Siwu. The dangers in the mountains are immeasurable, but Manchuria also started from the white mountains and black waters. I believe that Your Majesty can get out of the mountains."
Daishan let out a long sigh, shook his head and said, "I'm not leaving, Xin Shan. As Yue Tuo said, you, Tong Jia, can speak well in the palace. I'll leave Baylor's side to you."
"Your Majesty..."
"This is my king's order, Xin Shan, are you going to betray me?"
"I don't dare..." Xin Shan dismounted and knelt down in front of Dai Shan: "I know what the prince means."
Daishan laughed loudly: "As long as you know, we still have 15,000 people, leaving 5,000 for me. The rest, you lead the red flag troops to retreat to the southeast. Remember, we must try our best to protect Baylor is fine.”
As the direct planner of the Huai'an battlefield, Dai Shan must take the blame for such a huge defeat. The original blame holder was Li Yongfang, but who knew that Li Yongfang was killed by Chen Cao, and now even he After returning to Xuzhou, it was possible to be demoted from the prince to the county king or even Baylor. It was better to die here directly. In addition to gaining face for the Qing Dynasty, at least he did not lose the face of Aixinjueluo.
Cao Wenzhao did not wait for the Tatars to attack, and his mission was to guard the official road, so when he saw the Tatars rushing towards him to evacuate, he did not order a pursuit, but asked his soldiers to quickly build fortifications.
When Daishan returned again, the gunfire in Suqian City had stopped. He knew what this meant. When facing the Ming Army cavalry with about 20,000 people, Daishan seemed to have returned to his youth and himself. When Aman Nurhaci raised troops in Jianzhou, that night, thirteen of Ama's cronies were standing at home, and their brothers were all holding the long swords given to them by Nurhachi in the room...
"Long live the Jurchens...Long live Manchuria...Long live the Qing Dynasty..."
"Jianzhou warriors, charge with me and kill..."
"kill..."
"The whole army... blow the trumpet and charge..."
The two torrents collided again...
...
When the troops of the Dingwu Army arrived in Suqian along the canal, the battlefield was being cleaned outside the city. The dead cavalry and soldiers of each division were burned according to the military plaques and buried on the spot. A martyrs cemetery was established in Suqian according to Chen Cao's instructions to enshrine these soldiers. For the soldiers who died in the Ming Dynasty.
In the Suqian Yamen, thousands of guards in brocade clothes surrounded the Yamen. There were also Chen Cao's bodyguards guarding the outside. In the lobby of the Yamen, Chen Cao immediately sat down with his sword in the hall, and there was also a person sitting in the hall. It was The lord of the two red flags of the Qing Dynasty, the hereditary prince Daishan.
The reason why Daishan was captured was partly due to luck. Xinshan followed his order and retreated to the Siwushan Mountains in the southeast, taking away tens of thousands of cavalry. He was also prepared to die to prove his ambition, and took the rest with him. Five thousand cavalrymen launched a desperate charge towards You Shigong brothers, but even when You Shigong had 20,000 men, Daishan still broke through You Shigong's cavalry formation;
But Daishan was finally at the end of his strength. When he charged for the second time, he was surrounded and killed by You Shigong and Zu Dashou.
Daishan, who was at the end of his rope, watched his warriors being slaughtered one by one. After shouting, he prepared to commit suicide with the long knife in his hand. The moment the blade touched his neck, Zu Dashou happened to recognize Daishan. After the second charge began, He kept looking for traces of Daishan, and finally found him at the moment when Daishan was about to commit suicide. Then he rushed over desperately and knocked Daishan off his horse with just one flying move.
Therefore, Daishan was successfully captured alive by Zu Dashou. Daishan was captured, and nearly a thousand remaining cavalrymen under his command had no choice but to surrender.
In order to prevent Daishan from committing suicide, although he was sitting in the hall, his hands were tied up behind his back.
Chen Cao said after a long time: "Dai Shan, long time no see..."
"Yes, a few years ago you were a marquis of the Chongzhen Dynasty, but now you have usurped the throne of the Zhu family. You have no right to tell me about my origins in the Qing Dynasty."
"No, no, no..." Chen Cao smiled and shook his head: "In the early years of Yongle, Meng Brother Timur joined me in the Ming Dynasty and was granted the title of Commander of the Jianzhou Guard. From that time on, your love for the Xinjieluo clan has to be counted. I, the people of the Ming Dynasty, have been doing the following since Nurhachi raised his army. You are a minority, and I, Chen Cao, am a Han. As long as you are a Han, everyone can be the emperor. Even if the Zhu family exchanges with my Chen family, then This is also an internal matter of our Han people, and you people who founded the state are not qualified to participate because you are subjects, do you understand?"
Chen Cao smiled softly again: "Do you know why I call you slaves? Because you are the slaves. However, among the Han people, I have never regarded servants as slaves, and your three greetings have never been among the Han people. It has happened before that since I ascended the throne as Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, I have been tolerant of all ethnic groups. If you Jurchens are willing, I can also identify with your so-called 'Manchus', but the Eight Banners system is absolutely non-negotiable, and you can only become common people."
Daishan was about to retort, but Chen Cao waved his hand to stop him: "Of course, you Daishan can't make the decision, but one thing I can be sure of is that your Eight Banners now also have the Eight Banners' personal deliberation system. Originally, I wanted to kill you to commemorate the people of Huai'an. , but now I have changed my mind."
Chen Cao said as he looked at Huang Chunyao who was smiling not far behind him. They had already made a new plan after Zaodaishan was captured.
Divide and disintegrate the Jianzhou Eight Banners system, and Daishan is the breakthrough.
"I already know that it was Yue Tuo who killed our people in Huai'an, so the blame does not lie with you. I can spare your life, including the lives of more than a thousand of your two red flags who were captured. I can also spare their lives. You are here The heirs in Beijing can live, but Yue Tuo must die. This can be regarded as my kindness. You can live well during this period..."
Chen Cao stood up, walked to Daishan's side, patted his shoulder, and sighed: "I, the people of the Han family, have been taught etiquette since childhood and can tolerate all things. The same is true for me. Those who deserve to die must die, those who do not deserve to die, why? Are you going to die? It’s good to live... you can enjoy life while you are alive..."
After Chen Cao finished speaking, he left...
The people in the hall dispersed, leaving only Daishan sitting in the middle of the hall.
