The six 6-pound bronze field cannons were all filled with deadly shotshells. Each shotshell was loaded with 96 one- and two-weight lead shot. Among the six shotshells, there were a total of 576 one- and two-weight lead shot. When 576 lead bullets were fired in a salvo, the sky was filled with bullets. The hundred steps in front of the muzzle was a life-limited area! No matter how many layers of armor you wear, or what kind of baturu you are, you will be killed with one bullet... Even if you can't be killed temporarily, based on the current medical conditions, you can be cured!
And Aixinjueluo Funing and the three to four hundred cavalrymen under his command just ran into this restricted area of life woven by hundreds of deadly lead bullets.
In fact, the impact formation composed of three to four hundred cavalry can be quite wide in front. The muzzles of six 6-pound cannons cannot cover such a wide front. But in order to protect the little emperor Funing, Tan Tai created a dense object wrapped in layers, and protected Funing tightly like a bun.
But in this way, the front of the cavalry's assault formation became very narrow, and it was blocked by the muzzles of six 6-pound cannons.
When the wooden planks blocking the six 6-pound cannons were suddenly put down, the Manchurian cavalry who were rushing forward were dumbfounded.
They had thought it strange before, what were those dusty "earth walls" used for? The height of this "earth wall" is higher than the parapet, and it is impossible for the fire gun soldiers to stand behind and fire their guns. But it was too short to be used as a city wall...it was originally used to block cannons. Why should a good cannon be covered up? Are you just trying to trick us? This is really abominable!
The Manchurian cavalry, who knew that Zhu Youjian was hateful and knew that the Ming army's cannons were terrifying, dared to charge against the cannons that were about to fire. They all forcibly stopped the horses that were running happily, trying to turn around and run away, away from those ill-intentioned soldiers. cannon.
But when they turned around, they found that there were a bunch of cavalry behind them! Some of the cavalrymen in the back row were sharp-eyed and saw the cannons from a distance. Knowing that they were not easy to mess with, they turned around and tried to escape. Others only knew how to rush forward with their heads covered and did not look forward at all, so they did not know that the despicable and shameless Ming army had placed six cannons in front of them. As a result, those who turned around and fled collided with those who charged with their heads covered, and they immediately became a mess.
Funing was also charging with his head covered, completely forgetting to look forward. As a result, he was "rear-ended" as he was charging. Fortunately, the Mongolian horse under him was very smart and did not hit the horse's butt with his head. However, it still "scratched" a little, almost knocking Funing off the horse.
Just when Funing was about to curse, six insidious and cunning 6-pound bronze cannons fired.
Funing's position was not very far forward, so he was not hit by the first round of shelling, but he was still frightened by the effect of hundreds of shells... He could only see everything in front of him. The man and the horse all fell down in an instant, and several or more bloody holes suddenly appeared on their bodies, and blood was pouring out!
"Your Majesty, it's dangerous, run away!"
Tan Tai's voice suddenly sounded next to Funing's ears, which were about to be deafened by the sound of the earth-shaking cannon. The sound came from behind. Funing turned around and saw that most of the people behind him were running. Among them were his good brother Ye Bushu and the guard commander Tan Tai, but he did not see his other brother. Shuosai—Shuosai was lying on the ground with his legs spread out at this time, and there was a bleeding hole in his chest, but Funing didn't see him.
Seeing Ye Bushu and Tan Tai running away together, Funing felt angry. As the emperor, he was already taking the lead, how could you know how to escape?
Just as he was about to call back Ye Bushu and Tan Tai who were fleeing, the Ming army's six 6-pound cannons opened fire again.
This time, there was no one to block the lead bullets for Funing. Before he could hear the sound of the cannon, his body had already been penetrated by three one- and two-weight projectiles, and the war horse under his crotch was also hit by lead bullets. In the middle, both men and horses fell to the hard ground.
Funing, the late Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, has become a legend, a legend that becomes more and more outrageous as it spreads!
The fatal night attack on the Ming army's camp commanded by Funing was also rumored to be more and more outrageous in the long years that followed.
It was obviously Funing who fell into Wang Dadou's trap. After breaking through two lines of defense, he hit the muzzle of the cannon and died. Zhu Youjian's appearance behind those cannons was a complete coincidence. He just came to take a look, and had no other meaning. .
But later it was said that Funing launched a desperate charge towards Zhu Youjian's main formation, breaking through the Ming army's ten blocking lines along the way! In the end, he rushed within a hundred steps of Zhu Youjian, and was about to cut off the head of the great ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, completely halting the "Great ZTE Era" of the Ming Dynasty... But in the end, because of the insidious and cunning Zhu Youjian Jian ambushed 12 12-pound cannons in his own formation, but failed.
Moreover, in the legend, after the young hero Funing saw 12 12-pound cannons, he was still able to avoid the bombardment calmly, then broke out of the siege and disappeared among the white mountains and black waters in the northeast of the Ming Dynasty!
That's right, he just disappeared, not died in battle.
Because the Ming army did not find Funing's body later... and most of the slave cavalry who withdrew from the Hunhe battlefield did not return to Shenyang, but fled in the direction of Jianzhou Guard.
The territory of Jianzhouwei is full of deep mountains and old forests. Because it is the land of Longxing in the Qing Dynasty, there are also some Zhuangzi belonging to Manchu nobles scattered around, which can provide a place for these fleeing Eight Banners soldiers to stay.
Although Zhu Youjian had sent Wu Sangui to outflank Fushun Pass and nearby castles, it could only block the army. It was difficult to capture the Manchu knights who were broken into pieces and familiar with the terrain.
Therefore, many Manchurian cavalry who participated in this fierce battle, known as the Hunhe Night Battle in later generations, fled into the deep mountains and old forests of Jianzhou Guard after the war. Some of them went to North Korea and took refuge with Dorgon, Duduo, and others. The three Azige brothers also spread the word about Funing's "heroic deeds".
Later, a group of Manchu nobles led by Sony and Nikon fled to Japan, which was hostile to the Ming Dynasty... Now various legends about Funing have a market, and they become more and more outrageous. , and even been put on the stage, and there were Jingliuli dramas named "Night Battle at Hunhe River" and "Funing Fighting against Chongzhen".
In short, the late Qing emperor who was praised as the "Young Hero" by Zhu Youjian himself at the age of 13 has lived on the stage and in legend forever.
...
"Haven't you found Funing yet?"
On the third day after the Battle of Hunhe, Zhu Youjian entered Shenyang as a victor. When he saw Gu Harun, who entered the city before him, his first words were about this "rebellious son of the Qing Dynasty".
"No trace of Funing was found, but I found Funing's younger brother Fu'an." As Gu Harun spoke, he glanced at Concubine Taisong who was following Zhu Youjian.
Taisong's eyes were red, and he didn't know if he was angry? Hearing Fu'an's name, his expressionless face shone with light.
"Is Fu'an okay?" Taisong asked.
"Okay, very good."
Zhu Youjian also smiled and said: "Fu'an is Taisong's son and my stepson... From now on, he will take my surname and call him Zhu Fu'an."
The stepson is not a traitor, so Zhu Youjian is not worried at all. Moreover, Fu'an's biological father is not Huang Taiji, but Daishan. With this embarrassing identity, he will never become the banner of the restoration forces.
He glanced at Taisong again, and seeing that she seemed to be in a better mood, he smiled again and said: "When Fu'an grows up, let him be the boss's minister... He is the boss's cousin. , the boss will take care of him."
The eldest son Zhu Youjian said was Zhu Cixuan. Because Zhu Cixuan was adopted by Tianqi, Zhu Cixuan became the nominal eldest son of the emperor. In Zhu Youjian's plan, Zhu Cixuan will become the next Mongolian Khan.
Now that Zhu Cixuan is about to grow up, Zhu Youjian should also consider the issue of making him a "kingdom". This is a huge expense!
