There was a tsunami of shouts all around the big tent. Several attacks by the Kaiyuan Army failed, and the soldiers suffered heavy casualties.
Nearly ten thousand soldiers piled up into a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood in front of the Khan's palace.
On the same day, Huang Taiji hurriedly held an enthronement ceremony, changed the name of the country to Qing Dynasty, called himself Emperor of Qing Dynasty, and changed the name to Xuantong of Yuan Dynasty.
The second year of Taichang in the Ming Dynasty was the first year of Xuantong in the Qing Dynasty.
After learning about this incident, seeing that the Marquis of Ping Liao was unconscious, Kaiyuan's people were in a state of confusion. Kang Yingqian, the supervisor of the army, abandoned the secret and turned to the bright side, and led his generals to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. Huang Taiji personally came out of the palace to greet him, and named Kang Yingqian the Minister of the Ministry of War of the Qing Dynasty and the Wenyuan Pavilion University. scholar.
On November 29th, the first year of Xuantong, the cold wind was biting. Sun Chuanting escorted Pingliao Marquis to retreat north. The remaining 2,000 troops from the 1,000th headquarters escorted them. People kept getting lost along the way, and they were also attacked by Bao Yi and Liao Town servants. After attacking, when they finally returned to Kaiyuan, there were less than a thousand soldiers left.
Deng Changxiong and Wang Zengbin fought to the death, and 2,500 people from the 2,000th headquarters and 2,000 cavalrymen from the cavalry battalion guarded the Suzi River and covered the northward retreat of Pingliao Marquis. Deng Changxiong met Liu Zhaosun for the last time and saw that General Liu was on his deathbed. An old subordinate shed tears sadly.
At this time, Kaiyuan's army was torn into pieces, and five out of ten soldiers either surrendered or fled.
Huang Taiji seized the opportunity and did not avoid the scorching summer heat. He personally led the two yellow flags into a decisive battle, defeated the cavalry battalion in one fell swoop, and killed Deng Changxiong.
At the end of November, the rat-tailed Eight Banners Army swept across Liaodong like a tide.
With the support of the Wukong Cult, Fushun quickly fell. The military leaders of Liao Town, who had been watching for a long time, noticed the changes in the battlefield situation and joined the Qing army one after another. Under the leadership of Emperor Xuantong, a hundred thousand troops swept through central Liao.
In mid-February of the second year of Xuantong, Yuan Chonghuan fought to the death for two months. Kuandian ran out of ammunition and food, so he rushed into the enemy's formation and died. Huang Taiji ordered Kuandian to be massacred and the dead Yuan Chonghuan's ashes were crushed.
On February 29, Tieling fell and the Qing army massacred the city. Sun Chuanting led the last three thousand soldiers to retreat to Kaiyuan.
······
On the first day of March, the Eight Banners Mongolian and Liao Town coalition forces totaling 120,000 people began to besiege Kaiyuan City, Liu Zhaosun's last lair.
On the second day of March, Huang Taiji entered Kaiyuan with Kang Yingqian as his envoy to persuade him to surrender. Emperor Xuantong said that this war was only to avenge the victims of Hetuala and avenge the Ming Emperor. It would not implicate innocent people. As long as the criminal Sun Chuanting and Liu Zhaosun were handed over, the remaining Anyone who surrenders can serve Emperor Xuantong.
On that day, Sun Chuanting beheaded Kang Yingqian and refused to surrender.
Huang Taiji was so angry that he deployed forty-nine Hongyi cannons and lined them up on all sides of Kaiyuan, bombarding them day and night.
At the same time, Bao Yi and Sheng Jurchen went on to attack the city. Under the cover of a shield car, Bao Yi built an earthen city a hundred meters outside Kaiyuan City. The height of the earthen city exceeded the main city wall of Kaiyuan. Wu Zhenhachao boarded the city. In Tucheng, they used flintlock guns to shoot at Kaiyuan's army.
In the end, three thousand soldiers rose up to resist and used various firearms to kill the Qing troops.
The artillery camp exposed all the assets of the workshop,
The new rockets clashed with Hongyi cannons at the top of the city. The roar of the sacred fire flying swallows as they fell to the ground resounded across the wilderness, lighting up the night and making it terrifying. The roar of the Hongyi cannon shook the world, like the roar of a beast, and the end was coming.
After learning that they would not be able to escape the fate of massacre, the people of Kaiyuan spontaneously climbed to the top of the Wengcheng city. The strong men picked up stones and smashed the ant-capped city walls. The women and children hid behind the crenellations and shot at the Qing soldiers arrayed in the distance with blunderbuss. military.
Vats of boiling golden juice poured down, and hot dung water fell on the enemy's heads. The indomitable Bao Yi screamed and fell down the ladder, leaving only white bones on his head...
The Qing army stormed for half a month, but Kaiyuan City still stood firm. Emperor Xuantong was furious.
The piles of wrapped corpses were as high as the city walls of Kaiyuan. The moat was filled with corpses of Eight Banners soldiers, and the river was blocked.
On March 26, the Marquis of Ping Liao died of illness, and the people in the city sent the news back to the Qing army camp.
The morale of the soldiers of the Eight Banners was high. Emperor Xuantong summoned his ministers and said, this is the destiny of heaven, and heaven will destroy the Liu thief!
The next day, Hongyi artillery blasted a gap in the north city. Huang Taiji, armed with armor and spearhead, led the Qing army and Liao Town servants to swarm in.
Kaiyuan fell and all three thousand soldiers died. Moments before the city was breached, Qiao Yiqi, Song Yingxing and others fled out of the city and fled to Shandong.
General Anyuan has given birth to a son for Marquis Ping Liao.
Qiao Yiqi and others planned to support Liu Zhaosun's son and continue fighting to the death in Shandong.
Emperor Xuantong ordered a massacre of the city for three days, leaving no chickens or dogs behind.
Kaiyuan General Military Mansion.
Huang Taiji personally led Ba Yala with a yellow flag to the Kaiyuan General Military Mansion, preparing to crush Liu Zhaosun's bones into ashes and capture his imperial wife Yang Qing'er alive.
Pei Dahu led his two hundred guards to resist desperately. After losing two Niulujia soldiers, the Qing army brought in artillery to bombard Pei Dahu, Lin Yu, Wu Xiao, Du Du and others.
"Exhume Thief Liu's body and take it back to Hetuala for torture!"
Huang Taiji gave an order, and the Qing army crossed the broken gate of the General Military Mansion and swarmed in.
Thick smoke billowed in the courtyard, a fire broke out in the wing, and explosions were heard from all sides.
Huang Taiji sat down and his horse was frightened and ran wildly. A huge mushroom cloud rose over the General Military Mansion, and more than two hundred Qing troops were blown to pieces.
Yang Qing'er hugged Liu Zhaosun's cold body, and Bumu Butai gently dropped the fire certificate. The tung oil in the room was instantly ignited, and the gunpowder in the yard was ignited by the fire.
At the last moment, Mrs. Gaoming and Ping Liaohou merged together.
In April of the third year of Taichang, after receiving the news of Liu Zhaosun's defeat, the Ming court immediately launched retaliatory actions.
Yuan Keli, the governor of Denglai, was removed from his post and imprisoned for treason. Several magistrates in Dengzhou were also implicated. Yang Hao, a member of Tianjin Weihaifang Road, suddenly died violently.
In May, the Beijing camp entered Shandong and attacked the Wendeng camp with Liao Town. The two thousand Kaiyuan soldiers stationed in Wendeng resisted desperately. In the end, they ran out of ammunition and food and were attacked and destroyed by tens of thousands of enemy troops.
Qiao Yiqi, who retreated to Wendeng, had no intention of living.
Qiao Dazui personally escorted Jin Yuji and her one-month-old child out to sea by boat.
Qiao Yiqi stood under the pavilion of Yingzui Harbor for a long time, watching Jin Yuji's lucky ship sail away safely. He smiled, drew his sword and committed suicide.
~~~~
The vicissitudes of life, the dream of a thousand years, the tears run dry.
When I woke up, the world was vast and the lights were dim.
The rapid sound of golden drums came from outside the tent. Old Song turned his back to himself and was concentrating on decoction.
In the big tent, the fragrance of medicine filled the air, and Liu Zhaosun felt a long-lost emotion in his heart.
He sat up with difficulty and looked at the thin figure:
"Old Songtou, have they captured it?"
~~~~~
Thousands of rockets dipped in tung oil were fired at the trench-filling truck. The baffle in front of the trench-filling truck was instantly ignited by the rockets. The fire spread quickly, and there was a burst of exclamations from the surrounding wrappers.
The policeman who was supervising the formation waved his spear and shouted to Bao Yi:
"Don't stop! Keep filling in! Those who retreat will die!"
Bao Yi, who was hiding behind the baffle, rushed out, took off the clothes of the dead people around him, and tried his best to fight the flames. At this time, another dense rain of arrows fell, and Bao Yi, who was putting out the fire, was shot into a hedgehog.
Seeing this, the remaining Baoyi screamed and fled towards the back.
As they got closer and closer to the wall of the Khan's Palace, the counterattacks of Hou Jin's soldiers became more and more fierce.
Lying in front of Baoyi was the last parapet of the outer position. After breaking through this parapet, there were only two trenches left behind.
Then there is a flat river, reaching directly to the wall of the Khan's palace.
In other words, as long as this parapet is broken through, Hou Jin will be completely destroyed - at least in Sun Chuanting's view.
This is the fourth breast wall that Kaiyuan Army needs to conquer.
In order to capture the three front parapets, both the soldiers and Bao Yi paid a heavy price, especially Bao Yi. In just half an hour, less than 4,000 people were left among the 5,000 soldiers captured to fill the trenches.
Of the more than a thousand dead soldiers, half were shot to death by Houjin archers, and the other half were killed by the Zhenfu soldiers and war soldiers with firecrackers and spears.
Under the joint attack of both the offensive and defensive sides, the Baoyi sandwiched between the Kaiyuan Army and the Houjin Army perished at a speed visible to the naked eye, and its life was like a weed.
Their humble lives are only worth two bags of earth and rocks.
"Don't even think about surrendering to the Jiannu. They will kill you all. Act quickly! Fill two bags of earth and rocks and you will survive! Fill them quickly!"
The instructor held up a loudspeaker and continued to encourage these poor ants. Dongguan Zai no longer promised the ants money and women, but only promised them that they would survive after filling the trenches.
In fact, this is also deception.
According to Sun Chuanting's plan, after the trench filling was completed, these coatings were also needed as cannon fodder for the subsequent blasting of the Khan's Palace.
Sun Chuanting's blasting tactics were quite similar to those of the invading army more than twenty years later.
In the fifteenth year of Chongzhen's reign, Li Zicheng besieged Kaifeng. He sent cannon fodder forward and asked the old, weak, sick and disabled to approach the city wall, remove a brick from the wall, and return to survive.
Because of Liu Zhaosun's time travel, Li Zicheng's mortal enemy Sun Chuanting practiced the siege tactics of the invading army in advance.
After filling in the trench, the Kaiyuan Army will concentrate their artillery to bombard the wall of the Khan's Palace, trying to open a small gap, and then let Bao Yi go forward to dig bricks, and each person will take one piece.
After all the casualties were exhausted, the soldiers used shield carts to cover the coffins and clay pots filled with gunpowder and stuffed them into the gaps in the city wall.
When the gunpowder explodes, it is the end of Huang Taiji.
~~~~
There was a scream in the distance, and Sun Chuanting returned to reality.
The reality was slightly different from his plan.
The wrapper hiding behind the wooden board was ignited by the fire, rolling and howling on the ground.
The two trench-filling trucks were completely scrapped and turned into two huge fireballs. They were blown by the strong wind and rolled past the dense wrappings. At the same time, dense rain of arrows fell again from the sky above the passage.
Bao Yi, who was filling the trench, couldn't stand it any longer. He ignored the threat of a spear behind him, dropped the bag filled with earth and rocks, and ran away screaming.
Many people fell into the horse pit and were impaled by sharp wooden stakes. They did not die for a while and screamed in agony that was not like human voices.
The Kaiyuan archers followed Baoyi and fired at the parapet. However, due to the parapet's obstruction, their attacks posed no threat to the Houjin archers. Instead, they themselves suffered heavy casualties.
The fusiliers raised their guns and fired another volley. The lead splashed a shower of blood among the coated people, and countless intestines and entrails were thrown to the ground.
The tragic scene made the enthusiastic Bao Yi calm down a little. They all turned around, picked up the bags, and continued to fill the trench.
Some people were squatting on the ground, shouting wildly, and their spirits were broken.
They were quickly killed by Houjin archers and Kaiyuan fire gunners.
Another hail of arrows flew over the parapet, and a piece of the trench-filling coat in front was shot over. Seeing this, the people behind wanted to turn around and come back.
The fire gun soldier did not hesitate to pull the trigger, white smoke rose, and dozens more coats were shot and fell.
"Those who backpedal will die! After filling this time, you can live!"
~~~~
The fire soldiers built an earthen slope outside the Khan's palace, about two feet high and extending two hundred steps.
A group of gunmen climbed up the slope and fired at the parapet in the distance.
The flintlock guns attacked from a high position, finally changing the battlefield situation. The opponent could no longer shoot arrows calmly. Projection of the coating is also greatly reduced.
Seeing this scene, the coat guard at the back quickly picked up the earth bag and rushed towards the ditch and horse pit in front.
There were only thirty steps left from the parapet. The Kaiyuan Zhenfu soldiers who were supervising the formation behind them blew their bamboo whistles. As if they had been granted amnesty, the packers who filled the trenches in front dropped their bags one after another and ran back desperately.
"Twenty steps to throw stone mines, ten steps of pikemen to attack, and fusiliers to cover. Conquer this parapet and kill all the Tatars! No one will be left alive!"
War drums beat.
Amidst the urgent bamboo whistles of the captains of each banner, twenty tall and thick shield cars, braving the sparse rain of arrows, mercilessly ran over the burning wrapped corpses, and quickly approached the last parapet of the rear Jin soldiers. .
