Chapter 22 Who dares to rebel? Just hit him!

In order to set off for Jinling as soon as possible, Jia Lian was busy dealing with the aftermath during this day.

The first is Liu Zeqing. In history, this guy went south and directly surrendered to the Tartars. Later, he felt that the treatment given by the Tartars was not good enough, so he turned against him and was killed by the Tartars.

In this battle, his troops were defeated by Kong Youde and lost more than 10,000 people. He was demoted to a general by Jia Lian on the grounds of unfavorable combat and was replaced by Liu Cheng, the general under his command, as the general of Ludong.

At the same time, the 40,000 troops from Ludong Town were mixed with the various departments of Jinxi Town to prevent Liu Zeqing from taking power again.

He originally planned to kill Liu Zeqing, but because he had no time to deal with it, he was worried about chaos, so he saved his life.

The second was the more than 50,000 Tartars captured. In addition to the nearly 50,000 people under Duoduo's troops, Li Tai led 20,000 cavalry and successfully caught up with Kong Youde and captured more than 5,000 people.

But these two Tartars fled in scattered ways, including Kong Youde, a big traitor, still four or five thousand people ran away.

Without exception, these more than 50,000 prisoners cut off their thumbs, making them unable to even get weapons.

The next day, after the arrangement was made, Jia Lian led an army of 80,000 to set off and escort the prince Zhu Ciniang to the south.

"Prince Yu, you must never fight back now. There are at least four hundred Ming army artillery guns. If we fight back this time, our artillery will be destroyed soon!"

Duoduo was so angry that he could only smell: "Then you plan to be a turtle, and let us Qing warriors get shot in vain?"

Kong Youde hurriedly explained: "Prince Yu, I have seen it. Although there are many artillery artillery outside the city, it is extremely scattered and there is no protection of infantry combat formations. For the sake of the present, we should send cavalry to attack the Ming army's artillery positions and seize their artillery, and our army can be invincible!"

Duoduo thought about it and it was indeed the truth. The Ming army relied on the most was these artillery. If they snatched their artillery, they had no choice but to do anything.

When the enemy situation becomes clear after dawn, it is not too late to go out to fight him.

Then he ordered: "Adai, please lead your troops and 5,000 troops from the Mongolian Tushetu tribe in the outer vassal to capture the Ming army's artillery positions and seize their artillery!"

"Slave obeys the order!"

After one stick of incense, the gate of the southern village of the Tatar Camp opened wide. The 20,000 Mongolian cavalry led by Adei held torches and rushed out of the gate like a fire dragon.

Jia Lian saw this scene and couldn't help but sneer: "These Tartars are really naive. I really think I didn't make any arrangements and let you attack the artillery positions?"

Long before the fire started, Jia Lian arranged manpower, and thousands of landmines were densely arranged half a mile in front of the artillery position.

These Tartars had no idea that they had such a powerful weapon. The Tartars who knew the power of landmines had been completely wiped out in Baihe Town.

"Adjust the target and aim at the Tartar cavalry!"

The artillery lowered the muzzle and aimed at the approximate position, and then continued to fire the artillery.

After one round of artillery continued, nearly 600 Mongolian cavalry under Audai's command suffered casualties. Although he was so distressed that he could only grit his teeth and continue the attack.

The distance between two miles was only a blink of an eye for the cavalry, and the Ming army's artillery was at most two rounds.

This is coming closer. These artillery soldiers are the targets of cavalry slaughter. They only need to pay the price of two thousand casualties to capture more than 400 cannons. This transaction is worth it.

The second round of artillery attacks came soon, and the Tartar cavalry had reached a nearly one mile after all.

"Charge at full speed and rush up and kill them all!"

A Dai roared loudly, and the Mongolian cavalry under his command were all injected with chicken blood and shouted.

However, when the distance was pulled half a mile away again, and when he was instantly able to rush into the Ming army's artillery position, a strange situation happened.

Only flashes of light appeared on the ground in front of me and some small roars were heard, which was not as loud as the sound of a tiger squatting cannon firing.

But the cavalry on our side fell down in pieces.

Moreover, as flashes continued to appear, more and more cavalrymen fell, with as many as seven or eight thousand.

As the owner of the Mongolian Zhenghong Banner, A Dai was completely confused and had no idea what had happened.

Also confused were many Mongolian cavalry. Before they could react, another round of artillery began.

This time, what was shot was no longer a solid iron ball, but a shotgun, killing three or four thousand cavalry in one round.

At this time, on the battlefield, there were only less than 8,000 Mongolian cavalry left behind.

Moreover, many officers were killed. These cavalry were in a state of chaos. Some were frightened and turned around and ran away. Some were out of control and bumped around everywhere. Some were completely confused and only knew to continue rushing forward.

"Bang bang..."

At this moment, the dense gunfire was also remembered.

In the gap between the cannons, dense musket soldiers appeared, holding Minnie guns, and constantly firing at the remaining Mongolian cavalry.

In less than one incense stick, 20,000 Mongolian cavalry were wiped out under the repeated attacks of the artillery camp in Jinxi Town and the three Minni spearmen.

The Mongolian cavalry that finally withdrew were less than a thousand.

"Can anyone tell me what the hell is going on?"

Although Duoduo witnessed the battle throughout the whole process on the village wall, it was still a bit unbelievable.

The Mongolian army had 15,000 cavalry, the Mongolian Tuxitu tribe, and the Mongolian Tuxitu tribe, and a total of 20,000 Mongolian cavalry were gone.

If Jia Lian was in front of him, he would probably say: "Son, the times have changed!"

After dealing with the Mongolian cavalry that fell out of the camp, the artillery men repaired it and continued to pour fire into the camp.

At this time, there were a few more people around Jia Lian, including the crown prince Zhu Ciniang and the old eunuch Cao Huachun, and behind them were several princes and princesses from Chongzhen.

How could Jia Lian not let them visit such a great drama?

In order to bring the prince and the others to the battlefield together, Jia Lian pretended to search for Tartar assassins in Quancheng City, but he actually found dozens of them in his fake seat.

Then Jia Lian naturally brought Zhu Ciniang and his younger brothers and sisters out on the grounds that Quancheng was not safe and he had the protection of his army.

Although Cao Huachun and Lu Dongzhaofu thought they didn't want it, the bodies of dozens of Tartar assassins were placed there, indicating that Tartars had indeed penetrated into the Quancheng.

If there is anything wrong with the prince, they will not be able to afford to be guilty, and it is indeed safer to be with Jia Lian.

As the prince Zhu Ciniang, who had never left the palace and had never seen the world, witnessed such a battle with her own eyes.

Hundreds of artillery fired together, and 20,000 enemy cavalry were instantly destroyed, with loud noises and screams everywhere, which made people stunned.

Looking at the artillery camp that was still firing, Zhu Ciniang swallowed and turned her head to ask, "Master Jia, is this a war?"

"Yes, Your Highness! This is a war, an extremely cruel war!"

"Marson Jia, since this enemy is so vulnerable, why can't we in the Ming Dynasty always defeat the Tartars? Why did Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui surrender to the Tartars?"

Jia Lian patiently explained: "Your Highness, the reason why our army won so easily in this battle you see is not that the Tartars are too weak, but that our army is too strong! The army in front of you is the most powerful army of the Ming Dynasty. If the other army is half of my Jinxi Town, it would not have allowed the Tartars to invade several times, and this time they will capture the capital!"

Zhu Ciniang seemed to understand something, but she seemed to not understand it.

But he knew one thing, that was that Jia Lian's army could defeat the Tartars' army, after all, this was what he saw with his own eyes.

Zhu Ciniang asked with hope: "Marantor Jia, can you drive the Tartars away from the capital?"

"Yes, not!"

“Why is this?

Jia Lian said calmly: "Although I, Jia Lian and the Jinxi Town under my command, can defeat the Tartars, there are many Tartars. Now I am stealing the capital and controlling Northern Zhili, and my strength is not the same as before. But I can't do it alone."

"What do you need to remove and destroy these dogs who killed my father?"

"Your Highness, I need your support!"

"I?"

"Yes, I will send you to Jinling when this battle is over. When you ascend the throne and become emperor, you can gather the power of the Ming Dynasty to provide me with help. I can bring a million troops to wipe out Jiannu, and you can return to the capital!"

"Oh, I get it!"

Listening to Jia Lian constantly fooling Zhu Ciniang, Cao Huachun tried to speak several times, but he was silent again.

Although he knew very well that Jia Lian was seeking credit from the prince and seeking greater power after the prince became emperor.

But everything Jia Lian did was indeed for the Ming Dynasty.

And now that he has the ability to defeat the Tartars, only Jia Lian is the only one.

As long as the Ming Dynasty is still there, the admiral of the East Factory who escorted the prince south all the way, his future status will not be low.

Moreover, he himself has no conflict of interest with Jia Lian, and the two can even join forces.

The artillery battalion in Jinxi Town was still firing, and a large number of projectiles poured into the Tatar camp at every moment.

There were always unlucky Tartars who were hit, and even Duoduo's central tent was shot in by a shell. Fortunately, the shell had fallen in long ago and rolled in, causing no casualties.

Kong Youde persuaded anxiously: "Prince Yu, we can't wait any longer. Please retreat cleanly. How much can we withdraw!"

"No, I haven't lost yet. I just Minggou, relying on artillery, I want to defeat us. I still have an army of 80,000. By dawn, I will definitely kill all these Minggou without leaving any one!"

"Prince Yu, can't you still see that? These Ming troops have been fully arranged from beginning to end, and will not give us a chance to turn the tables."

Dabu, the son of Tushetuhan, also spoke, "Yes, Prince Yu, I just followed Lord A Dai to fight. The Ming army has an unheard of weapon, which is more powerful than cannons. We were only half a mile away and were killed and nearly half of them were killed. There must be more Ming army. We are now in a low morale and cannot defeat the Ming army at all!"

When he recalled the scene he had seen before, Duoduo was not shivering, only seeing a small flash of light. In an instant, seven or eight thousand cavalry fell down. What a terrifying weapon.

Thinking of this, Duoduo no longer insisted: "Then, where do you think we are the best direction to break through?"

Duodo's close confidant Da Cuba said: "I just investigated it. There were Ming troops on the other three sides. There were about 40,000 soldiers and horses in the north, about 50,000 soldiers and horses in the west, and at least 20,000 soldiers and horses in the east. We can break through from the east!"

After pondering for a while, Duoduo ordered: "Then break through from the east and withdraw first! Kong Youde, you lead the army to feint attack from the west to cover the evacuation of the army!"

"Prince Yu, this..."
