Chapter 294 Tongzhou Offensive and Defensive Battle
Dorgon's killing shocked the entire Huang Taiji Nanyuan headquarters. When this shocking news came in, Huang Taiji couldn't believe his ears, and sat there blankly and felt extremely complicated.
He and his brother Dorgon have been fighting openly and secretly for this position for many years. Even though he took this position, Dorgon was still threatening him. Today, Dorgon died, and the threat of his khan position was gone, but now it has brought him greater danger. That is, his death seriously damaged the morale of the Eight Banners soldiers and seriously shook the loyalty of the Mongols to him.
Faced with the remaining voices of Zhengbai Banner crying for revenge, Huang Taiji knew that he would be kidnapped and wanted to withdraw from the capital, he would never leave before he killed Zhao Xing. Otherwise, it would cause serious dissatisfaction with Zhengbai Banner and other banner owners. At that time, his rule would be completely shaken.
This matter was originally good, but how did it reach its current level? Huang Taiji was so entangled that he grabbed the pigtails on his head, and he almost pulled it all out.
Abai ran back and reported to Huang Taiji that Zhao Xing ruined his battle to annihilate Lu Xiangsheng. At that time, Huang Taiji suddenly stood up: "Zhao Xing, it's Zhao Xing again, where is he now?"
Abai reported: "Now he has entered Tongzhou."
"Tongzhou, okay, we sent troops to Tongzhou to kill Zhao Xing and avenge my brother."
Cheers rang out in the tent for Huang Taiji's orders.
But Huang Taiji had another idea in his mind. Zhao Xing was attacking Zunhua and opening the retreat ropes must be removed. At the same time, for such a long time, the 70,000 to 80,000 troops and the 200,000 to 300,000 slaves captured by him were consumed a little. After all, the place he occupied was so large that he had been plundered by himself. He urgently needed the food from Taicang in Tongzhou. This time, he took advantage of the soldiers' revenge for Dorgon and planned to win the battle.
So Huang Taiji transferred back to the 20,000 troops confronting the Ming army in the north of the capital overnight. He joined forces on both sides and headed north overnight, directly surrounding Tongzhou. The 60,000 troops surrounded Tongzhou and surrounded Tongzhou in a mess.
As a result, the siege of Beijing was lifted, and the entire city of Beijing was immediately caught in a huge cheer. Everyone was grateful to Zhao Xing, and Chongzhen also issued a special reward - named Zhao Xing's mother a first-rank lady of the Ming Dynasty and enjoyed the treatment of a face-to-face husband-any old lady would not come anyway, so she would not pay any favors.
Zhao Xing made great contributions to killing Dorgon and praised Zhao Xing's sister as the county lord. This is just ten stones of food per month. If you have it, give it some, and it will not be overwhelmed, and it will be rewarded without any expenses.
The reward is a golden plaque with the whole family of loyalty and righteousness, and the wood is painted with yellow paint, which looks bright and easy to deal with.
Zhao Xing was formally appointed as the commander of the Jinyiwei. That is to say, Zhao Xing, the commander of the Jinyiwei, also served as the governor of the Beizhen Fushi Office, and also served as the 6,000-household office of the Jinyiwei. He had to have power and power, and had strength, and became a hot presence in the court for a time.
Zhao Xing stood at the top of the city and looked at the Jiannu camp that was ripping outside, and could only spread his hands: "I was originally a guest at your place, but I was blocked here. I had no choice but to continue disturbing you, the great governor."
At this time, Jie Jingfang hated Zhao Xing for being itchy. His Tongzhou was good, but because Huang Taiji avenged Dorgon, he came to Zhao Xing, which brought disaster to Tongzhou. Faced with the army of 60,000 Jiannu outside the city, he could not tie Zhao Xing up and gave him to Huang Taiji. He could only have a life-and-death battle with Huang Taiji who would never give up until he achieved his goal.
Zhao Xing's heart was another joy. Huang Taiji chased him to Tongzhou, and just happened to take advantage of the opportunity of Tongzhou's elite soldiers and food to consume Huang Taiji's troops here. As for whether Tongzhou could not be kept, Zhao Xing was not worried, because the battle in Tongzhou would never last long. No matter how hard Huang Taiji went, the time would never last long. He would eventually attack Zunhua. In that case, there would be two weakening battles against Huang Taiji.
Huang Taiji commanded the 60,000 Jurchen Mongolian coalition forces, lined up outside the city, and carefully observed Tongzhou City. He used to fight two times but could not take down, but that was because he only used a little force to attack and did not use all his strength. Now that he was in full swing, he would definitely be able to take Tongzhou.
"Du Du, command the Mongolian army to attack the city." Huang Taiji ordered.
Du Du received the order loudly and integrated the entire Mongolian army, totaling 40,000, and launched an attack on Tongzhou without hesitation.
He chose the eagle shooter in the Mongolian army, ran around the city, blocked the city with bows and arrows, and then led the brigade and carried the ladder to charge.
As the horn of the charge sounded between heaven and earth, the cruel battle in Tongzhou officially began.
There were 200 large and small cannons at the head of Tongzhou city. Zhao Xing also dismantled the 400 trolls on his chariot and placed them all on the head of the city. As the Mongolian soldiers rushed towards the head of the city like a tide, the red-clothed cannons on the city were the first to fire. The whistling projectiles flew towards the enemy formation like meteors. Between the projectiles, among the dense charge formations, opened a series of flesh-and-blood alleys, screamed and wailed, soaring into the sky, causing the first group of casualties on the battlefield.
The Mongolian Eagle Eagle under the city also began to rush under the city and shoot their wolf-tooth arrows on the city. The Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eag
The muskets and archers in the city also launched counterattacks. However, facing the speeding cavalry, they had no accuracy. The only thing they gave to the enemy was torture but no actual damage.
The enemy's siege team approached, and the cannons and the Flang machine cannons at the top of the city began to fire shotguns. With a sound of cannons, the city was like a hurricane, slashing the enemy down like a thatch.
But the Mongolians were not afraid of death. Under the oppression of the Jurchens's supervision team, they overwhelmed the moat and put one ladder after another on the top of the city. A group of warriors, holding shields and biting steel knives, climbed and slammed the city desperately. The Mongolians below also pulled out their bows and arrows to cover the city.
Under the cover of the shield, the soldiers on the city wall poured the stone tinder oil down, and then pushed down the sky-shaking thunders, and with a burst of explosions, shrapnel flew across the city and lit the tinder oil at the same time. With a bang, the entire city immediately turned into a sea of fire, and the Mongols under the city turned into fire men screaming and wailing, and were eventually burned to death and burned.
But this group was dead, and the next group filled it up again, and the knocked ladder was erected again, and the brave and fearless dead soldiers continued to charge in the rolling wooden rocks.
The city crawling shot fell, and the wolf teeth on the huge wood stirred all the enemies rolling through the place along the way into meat sauce. Just as the city crawling shot landed, there was another shout from the city, pulling the chains, putting the beat away, and putting it down again.
The feather arrows under the city flew up, snatching the lives of soldiers who leaned over to kill the enemy. The huge power of Zhao Xing's large trolls was isolated from the subsequent enemy's pounce, and his cavalry explosive pack was also harvesting the lives of the enemy.
At this moment, life no longer has any value, and even a minimum number is no longer. Such a fierce battle made Zhao Xing feel the cruelty of ancient wars for the first time. He decided to command battles in the future, fight more fields and attack less cities.
