Chapter 202 Strange Edict

The Dazhong Army is not the Ming army of that year, and it is no longer the Sal Margin of that year. But in order to mobilize morale, Dorcon tried to find ways to build a way in the slave army. He repeatedly mentioned the Battle of Sal Margin in that year, saying that the Han barbarians were not terrible. As long as they were united, they would be able to build new achievements outside Shengjing City and recreate the Sa again. The Battle of Erhu.

Although Dorgun seemed to be full of confidence on the surface, it did not play much to improve the morale of Jiannu, because everyone knew that Dorgun was a defeated general of the Dazhong army and a regular defeated general.

From Chongzhen's entry in the customs in the 11th year, to the battle of Shanhaiguan, and then the Jinzhou War last year, followed by the battle in Liaoyang, Dorgon has fought with the Dazhong army more than a hundred times over the years, but the result is that as long as he encounters the Dazhong army, he will almost always be defeated in every battle, and there is no decent victory!

Now everyone knows that the large and medium-sized army has come, and many soldiers are very strong. The eight flags in Manchuria are now destroyed, and the red flags and red flags are almost all gone. The blue flags have not returned so far, and the yellow flags have also suffered heavy losses. The strength of the two white flags is less than half of their heyday, leaving only The yellow flag still retains a certain amount of strength, but those Jiannu generals who were good at fighting at that time became the yellow flowers of yesterday and withered.

It is calculated that Jiannu has lost the general under the Dazhong army over the years. First, Yue Tuo died in the 12th year of Chongzhen, and then Abatai died in the Battle of Tongzhou in the 14th year of Chongzhen. Hauge also disappeared after the Battle of Tongzhou. Later, Aobai died in the Battle of Jinzhou, Luo Luohun died in the Battle of Gaizhou last year, and Azig died in the Battle of Tongzhou. The Battle of Liaoyang...

Nowadays, there are only a few generals such as Dorcon and Duoduo who can be regarded as brave generals among the slaves, and who are these so-called generals who are not defeated by the Dazhong Army?

So no matter how much Dorcon advocates the reappearance of the Battle of Salhu, there is an uncontrollable feeling of failure in the slave army. Although they decided to stay and fight to the death with the Dazhong army in Shengjing for their glory, there are very few Jiannu who are optimistic about this war.

Coupled with the serious food shortage, almost everyone in the Jiannu army is not full. In the past six months, most Jiannu are hungry and thin. Even the vest soldiers they are proud of. At this time, many people have no war horses and become armor. They can only participate in the battle on foot. They rely most on the cavalry advantage. At this time, it could not be played out again.

With the approaching of August 20, the Dazhong Army and the Jiannu Army began to go around Shengjing one after another. Before August 20, many local conveniences had begun to engage in advance. One by one, the Dazhong Army arrived at their scheduled departure place and quickly cleaned up the Jiannu around the departure place.

This kind of purge can be said to be a massacre. All Jiannu who refused to surrender immediately were quickly eliminated by all walks of life of the Dazhong army. In order to reduce the trouble of logistics supply, the Dazhong army even adopted a policy of not to accept prisoners. Whoever catches Jiannu, regardless of men, women or children, will be killed directly. They will also be transported to the rear to consume food.

Gradually, the Jiannui Army began to be squeezed into more than 20 miles around Shengjing by all kinds of soldiers and medium-sized troops. At this time, the two cavalry divisions acted as shielding troops. Relying on their mobility, they constantly repelled the Jiannu cavalry that appeared around the Dazhong Army and died. It suppressed the sentry of the Jiannu army, making it impossible to go deep into the operation and deployment of the Dazhong Army.

More large and medium-sized army scouts began a large-scale strangulation battle with Jiannu's sentry in advance. Both sides tried their best to compress the detection range of the other party. Previously, when the large and medium-sized army scouts fought with Jiannu sentry horses, they did not take much advantage. They could only rely on their advantage of having binoculars to ambush them in advance. Fighting can take the advantage, but this situation has begun to change dramatically after the first year of Tianyuan.

The Dazhong Army consciously absorbed a considerable number of skilled Mongolian cavalry and incorporated them into the cavalry or the scouts. The addition of these Mongolian cavalry has caused a huge transformation of the cavalry and the scout troops of the Dazhong Army, because these Mongolian cavalry have also lived on horseback since childhood. For thousands of years, although they have long lost the prestige of Mongolian iron riders, their personal ability has not been reduced, and they even have more advantages than semi-nomadic and semi-agricultural slaves.

Therefore, over the years, after adding a large number of Mongolian cavalry, the combat effectiveness of the Dazhong Army has been much stronger. They can often face the cavalry of Jiannu and do not fall behind at all.

Before August 20, the Dazhong Army finally completed its pre-war deployment, and tens of thousands of Jiannu were squeezed around Shengjing.

At seven o'clock in the morning on August 20, that is, Chen Shi, Luo Li personally appeared on the front line. He held a big knife in his hand, raised it high above his head, and then waved heavily in the direction of Shengjing, and the blade pointed straight to Shengjing.

"The whole army begins to attack!" This is an order issued by Luo Li.

Several infantry divisions launched an offensive together after seeing the three red rockets rising from the south.

Hundreds of heavy guns, six-pound light guns of all types and countless rockets were ignited almost at the same time. The whole area around Shengjing made a roar of roaring cannons, and a burst of smoke quickly covered the position of the artillery.

The roaring shells flew out of the gun, flew out of the target, and fell heavily on the head of the Jiannu army.

The Dazhong Army has now formed a complete artillery application system. At the beginning of every war, it is necessary to prepare for artillery fire to open the way forward for the attacking cavalry and engineers.

The preparation time for the artillery fire of all parties lasted for a whole hour. The fierce shelling immediately turned the defense line outside Jiannu into a pot of porridge. Countless Jiannu soldiers fled in the shelling, panic like a lost dog. Although Jiannu's army will repeatedly try to reorganize the defeated soldiers and carry out counterattack. Pounce, but every time they just gathered the Jiannu soldiers together, they would be immediately found by the observers on the front line and immediately attract heavy artillery to bombard them, so Jiannu's assembly counterattack could not be completed at all, and they would be immediately bombarded by the group of artillery.

Although Jiannu also built a line of defense outside Shengjing City, under the bombardment of countless heavy artillery, their defense lines were like waste paper, which were torn apart by the Dazhong army.

At eight o'clock, the fierce shelling suddenly stopped. Countless large and medium-sized cavalry and engineers responsible for clearing obstacles for the army suddenly let out a shocking roar, and then roared through the position like dark clouds, roaring towards the defense line of Jiannu.

At this time, the soldiers and horses on the periphery of the Jiannu Army had already turned into a pot of porridge under the shelling of the Dazhong Army. In the face of the tide-like attack of the Dazhong Army, they could not stop the attack of the Dazhong Army at all.

In just half a day, the cavalry and engineering troops of the Dazhong army broke through the three defense lines of Jiannu outside Shengjing City. In half a day, more than 10,000 Jiannu on the periphery were extinguished in front of the fierce offensive of the Dazhong army, and the slaughtered corpses were everywhere.

Many engineering troops quickly cleared the fortifications of Jiannu on the line of defense and paved the way forward. A large number of infantry and cavalry rushed forward in turn, smashed the defense line of Jiannu like a heavy hammer, and smashed a soldier and horse supporting Jiannu, driving away the retreating Jiannu and fled to The next line of defense.

Although Jiannu also organized some artillery to resist at this time, the number of their artillery is very limited. As soon as the artillery on the gun position is fired, it will immediately attract more artillery fire. Many Jiannu's artillery can only fire two or three shells, and will be quickly lifted by the heavy artillery of the Dazhong army. Turning over, the gunner of Jiannu rushed with his head in his arms, which basically did not play an effective role in stopping the Dazhong army.

Originally, Dorgun thought that with their strict preparation, with so many lines of defense set up, how could they stay for ten days and a half months and kill and injuring a large number of large and medium-sized troops, but he did not think that all their efforts, with the cooperation of the artillery, foot riding and engineers, did not play much role at all.

On the contrary, some of the chest walls they set up made some trouble for the Dazhong army. Some archers of Jiannu hid behind the chest wall and supported the first round of artillery preparation. After waiting for the marching of the Dazhong army to approach, they stood up and shoot arrows. In this way, they shot more or less of some generals of the Dazhong army, but the Dazhong army The speed of adjustment is also very fast. As soon as it is hindered like this, it will immediately stop moving forward, adjust the heavy artillery from the back, and aim at these low chest walls against the direct shelling. Such a chest wall can't stop the bombardment of heavy cannons at all. In an instant, it will collapse in sections, and even the slave soldiers behind the chest wall are mostly bombarded or buried. It's under the chest wall.

Some trenches dug by Jiannu also hindered the progress of the Dazhong army, but the Dazhong army had also been prepared for a long time. After cleaning up the deer fort and the horse, they pushed some special trench bridge carts. Under the cover of the volley of infantry platoon guns, they built a rumbling on the trench and paved a bridge. A large number of large number of large and medium-sized cavalry Or the infantry will immediately pass through these trench bridge vehicles, open the road with countless Thunderbolt guns, blow up those Jiannu who blocked the road, quickly tear open the Jiannu's defense line, and then immediately expand the results of the battle, tear down the defense line carefully built by Jiannu, and quickly defeat the Jiannu soldiers and horses.

All the efforts of Jiannu quickly disintegrated with the superior firepower of the Dazhong Army and the mature arms.

What's more annoying is the logistical support of the large and medium-sized army, which makes Jiannu feel more frustrated. The large and medium-sized army in the attack can actually stop and rest on the spot after noon. Immediately, there will be a large number of firehead troops of the large and medium-sized army, either by unicycles, or carrying a shoulder to deliver large buckets of hot food to the forefront. , and there are also special steamed buns, so that the soldiers of the attacking troops can have a hot meal on the front line.

On the contrary, Jiannu's hungry eyes are green. Every day, they can only rely on some thin porridge that can show people's shadows to barely survive. Together with the war, they can't even drink porridge. Their hungry hands and feet are soft, and they watch the soldiers and generals not far away eat and drink. It seems that there is still broth to drink. The greedy slaves drooled one by one, and they couldn't wait to stretch out a hand in their throats to grab it.

Jiannu was really anxious. Some soldiers turned over their horses, roared out of the defense line, counterattacked the Dazhong army, and tried to grab some food. However, their actions were actually suicidal. Every time they rushed out, they would immediately be shot by the Dazhong army without waiting for them to rush. Near the Dazhong army, they were knocked to the ground one after another. Even their horses immediately became the meat of the Dazhong army to improve their food. They were dragged down to peel and remove bones. Soon, they would turn into a pot of meat and broth, and were given to the Dazhong Army for tooth sacrifice.

After a day of fierce battle, the Taoist defense line set up by Jiannu outside Shengjing was quickly broken through by the Dazhong army one by one. Under the attack of the Dazhong army, more than 20,000 Jiannu troops outside the city quickly collapsed, killed, captured, and even appeared that the Dazhong army put a few baskets of steamed buns in front of the position, which attracted a large number of The Jiannu soldier lost his guy and fled to the position of the Dazhong army and surrendered, only to get a miscellaneous steamed bun to satisfy his hunger.

In the end, only a few thousand soldiers gave up their positions outside the city and fled to Shengjing City. Even if they were surrounded by the Dazhong army, they were firmly trapped in the small city of Shengjing.

At this time, Xiao Tianjian, as an oracle of the emperor, also arrived in front of the army. Xiao Tianjian ordered all the people who participated in the battle to be serious about military discipline and not to kill prisoners indiscriminately. After winning this battle, only severely punished the first evil. The rest of the eight flags prisoners, except for the injured, should be kept as much as possible.
