Chapter 181 Losing the Chain at a Critical Moment(2/2)
But the problem is, the Ming army artillery and firearms he knows are actually very bad in terms of lethality. How many people can be killed depends on luck. If it is in a bad mood, does not explode or only explodes into two pieces, then there is nothing anyone can do about it.
.
But look at these cannons, they are completely different. If you blast them with one cannon, you will kill not only a dozen, but also twenty or thirty! Such a terrifying firearm, even your copper skin and iron bones cannot withstand it!
As the right minister of the Ministry of War and the censor of Qiandu, and the governor of Jimen, Liaodong and Baoding Military Affairs, Fu Zonglong looked at the artillery in Cheng Shijie's army with his eyes like a thousand-year-old bachelor looking at the most beautiful woman.
As Ning Haijun's artillery extended, the Jiannu offensive troops were dispersed. In the area where the Jiannu army was located, explosive points exploded all over the mountains and plains. There was almost no gap in the explosion. The shields in the hands of the Jiannu warriors along with their arms were
Flying all over the sky.
Such a shocking scene left Gao Qiqian speechless and speechless.
The faces of Wen Tiren's confidants were even more frighteningly pale. They even trembled uncontrollably and murmured: "The evil method, the evil method, it must be the evil method!"
Gao Qiqian murmured: "With such a strong army, the Ming Dynasty will have no worries from now on!"
Several of Wen Tiren's confidants looked at each other, each of them worried.
Cheng Shijie is so powerful! It's good that he is a loyal minister. If he is determined to rebel, who can stop him?
What's even more terrifying is that he also has a large number of extremely powerful cannons in his hands!
We can no longer allow him to grow and develop, we must find ways to weaken his strength! A military commander who has too much strength, whether he is loyal or traitorous, will be of no benefit to the civil servant group.
What the Wenchen Group wants is to firmly control all power in their own hands. No matter whether the person sitting on the dragon throne is named Zhu or Aixinjueluo, as long as the power is delegated to them, they will obey his orders!
In the blink of an eye, Ning Haijun was already in close combat with Jiannu Xiang.
Under the fierce offensive of Ning Haijun, Jiannu was retreating steadily and was about to be defeated.
At this time, Fan Jingwen, the Minister of War, had nothing to do with Fan Wencheng. Fan Wencheng was from Shenyang, and Fan Jingwen actually had a resume similar to that of Lu Xiangsheng. His rise was the same as that of Lu Xiangsheng, which had already happened in the second year of Chongzhen. At that time, Lu Xiangsheng, as the prefect of the famous name, recruited more than 10,000 people to strengthen the Qinwang in the north. Fan Jingwen, then the governor of Henan, also led 8,000 of his men to send troops to Qinwang and raised his own military pay.
However, Lu Xiangsheng led the Damingfu rebels to fight against the Jiannu in Daxing County, repelling two Niulu and more than 600 Jiannu who attacked Daxing. However, Fan Jingwen's troops did not participate in the battle and only marched in an armed circle.
Fan Jingwen was also the last cabinet scholar of the Ming Dynasty. When Li Zicheng's Dashun army entered Beijing, he did not surrender but jumped into the ancient well next to the Shuangta Temple and died. When Fan Jingwen died, he thought that the emperor had fled to the south. , little did he know that the emperor had hanged himself. After his death, he was given the posthumous title Wenzhen to the Taifu.
Among the officials who followed Fu Zonglong, Fu Zonglong had the highest official position, and he was second in rank, serving as the Minister of War. He saw that the Ming army was about to win a decisive victory.
Several officials gathered around Fan Jingwen and said, "Master Fan, if that warrior is so powerful and powerful, and if he is allowed to accomplish such great feats, who else can conquer him?"
"The arrogance of the warriors is getting more and more arrogant, but the country's power is getting weaker and weaker. I'm afraid it's not the blessing of the Ming Dynasty!"
"Why don't you persuade Master Fu to quickly send an order to the entire army to stop the attack?"
"It's useless! Fu is so excited now that he wants to go to the battlefield and fight in person. Who can persuade him?"
Although Fan Jingwen is considered a loyal minister, he is a civil servant first, and suppressing military attachés is politically correct. Fan Jingwen naturally thought of a person who could solve the current crisis.
The extermination of Jiannu can be put aside for now, but the pattern of using civil servants to control military forces must not be broken. Although Wu Sangui is also a military minister and was born as a general in western Liaoning, he and Zu Dashou have broken up now. Life must be very sad now. If we let it go If Cheng Shijie wins this battle again, nothing will happen to the Wu family without him in the future.
If they could convince Wu Sangui to open a gap for Jiannu to break out, Wen Tiren would definitely be able to use this as an excuse to severely attack Cheng Shijie's prestige. After they had accomplished such a great feat, the chief minister had to say something and let them work harder. An official or a noble?
As for what kind of consequences it would bring to the Ming Dynasty if these tens of thousands of elite elites fled back, that was not something they had to consider... Isn't it Cheng Shijie who is still there to take care of it?
Fan Jingwen and other officials were in Cheng Shijie's camp. Although they were very careful when speaking, Cheng Shijie's military supervision system was not a vegetarian.
The soldiers responsible for protecting these civilian officials were all from the military supervisory system. They naturally received the news, and Chen Guodong reported the news to Cheng Shijie.
Cheng Shijie's reaction was very bland, and there was nothing more to say after he knew it.
Regardless of Cheng Shijie's light words in front of Fu Zonglong, when it was time to bleed Jiannu, he would definitely not be merciful. He knew that Jiannu was a small power, and as long as there was a certain chance, they would definitely rise again.
Not killing Huang Taiji was Cheng Shijie's bottom line, but as long as he could weaken Jiannu, it would be enough.
Less than a quarter of an hour later, Wu Sangui found Zu Dabi, Zu Dale, Zu Kefa and others. Wu Sangui said: "Second uncle, third uncle, what should we do now?"
"What should I do?" Zu Dabi was a simple man. He originally liked Wu Sangui very much, but Wu Xiang cheated Zu Dashou. Zu Dabi had a prejudice against Wu Sangui and his son, and his tone of voice was very unkind.
Wu Sangui smiled bitterly and said: "We don't have any beheadings. If we don't take action, all the slaves will be killed by Cheng Shuai's people. This is wrong!"
Zu Dale was also eager to make meritorious deeds, but was taken advantage of by Wu Sangui. He also felt something was wrong: "That's right, Ning Haijun will kill them all if we don't take action!"
Zu Kefa was even more anxious, Zu Dale and Zu Dabi had enough military merits, so his trip was in vain. Seeing Jiannu being beaten to death by Ning Haijun, how long would it take if he didn't take the military merits now?
Zu Dabi thought for a while and said: "Don't be anxious, wait a little longer, let's wait until Cheng Shuai's order comes, and we'll go up again!"
Wu Sangui frowned and said: "Cheng Shuai relies on infantry for everything, so why do we need cavalry? Let me tell you, Cheng Shuai just got the attack sequence wrong. We should let our cavalry come up and rush into the Jiannu army formation."
If there is chaos, let the infantry press forward and defeat them in one fell swoop!"
Seeing Zu Dabi's hesitation, Wu Sangui pointed at the Jiannu army and said, "The Jiannu army now is a ripe fruit!"
At this moment, a green firework was suddenly spotted in the air. The firework exploded in the air. Zu Dabi laughed and said, "The time has come. Cheng Shuai has come down. Soldiers, follow me!"
Under the leadership of Zu Dabi, the cavalry of Guan Ning's Zu's Army and Wu's Army exceeded 10,000 cavalry and attacked Jiannu.
There are tens of thousands of people, boundless.
Tens of thousands of cavalry charged, making a lot of noise.
Huang Taiji clearly felt the ground shaking. More than 10,000 Guan Ning Army cavalry were galloping. The momentum was so scary that even though the battlefield was dark and dark, he, a veteran on the battlefield, could not hide it.
Huang Taiji judged from experience that the Ming army's cavalry was moving towards the Dongjiang Army, but the speed was not fast. He couldn't help but be a little confused. What the hell was the Ming army doing? It was because the infantry was in a melee and the cavalry could not participate in the battle. So he used this method
A powerful cavalry force to put pressure on them and boost the morale of the infantry?
Judging from normal circumstances, his judgment is reasonable, but when fighting with Cheng Shijie, you can't even imagine that you will encounter normal circumstances!
He soon discovered that he was too naive.
As the Guan Ning Army's cavalry joined the battle, Jiannu was killed like a chicken by the Guan Ning Army.
At the most critical moment, Wu Sangui fell off his horse, and Wu Guan Ningjun was shocked: "Protect the young general!"
Wu's army was in chaos, and a huge gap suddenly opened in the encirclement.
When Huang Taiji saw this scene, he almost wanted to cry. The happiness came so suddenly.
