643 The dead are negligible
Chapter 643: Dead people are negligible...
The main purpose of the Mongols' trip to the south this time was of course to obtain population and materials and strengthen themselves. If you want to allocate more spoils, you obviously have to accumulate more military achievements. According to the principles of the Great Jin Kingdom, those with the greatest military achievements can obtain the most spoils. Therefore, it does not mean that whoever grabs them is his own, but still needs to be redistributed. If you don't have military achievements, even if you grab the wealth, most of the wealth you have to be handed over.
Sun Chengzong, a Grand Secretary of the Ming Dynasty, once analyzed that the Tartars attached so much importance to military achievements, which was the main reason for the continuous rise of the Great Jin Dynasty. Looting is important, but military achievements are even more important. Therefore, the lower-class soldiers of the Great Jin Army were never afraid of chewing hard bones and were never afraid of fierce fighting with the Ming army. Because they knew that even if they could not plunder the spoils, as long as they had military achievements, their final spoils would definitely be indispensable.
Military achievements are the most critical factor. If you want to achieve extraordinary military achievements, you must achieve remarkable results. It seems that in Nanzhili, there is only one most dazzling result, that is, Zhang Zhun's head. Even if you defeat the capital, it is not as dazzling as Zhang Zhun's head. The great Jin Kingdom did not have a unified opinion on attacking the capital. However, they were highly consistent in seizing Zhang Zhun's head.
There is no doubt that anyone who can win Zhang Zhun's head is the most dazzling hero. Huang Taiji asked Haoge to serve as the main attacker to make Haoge win this most dazzling military achievements. Hadan Batel wanted to join in the fun, but also wanted to get a piece of the pie from Dongjiabao. Even if it was to win the money, it would be a good reward.
"Your rewards are indispensable!"
"You have a chance!"
Haoge was in a very good mood. He smiled and seemed very intimate when answering. But his answer naturally had a little official accent. Obviously, Haoge was not going to let the Mongols get a piece of the pie in the battle. Because once the Mongols intervened and distributed their military achievements in the future, it would be a bit unfavorable for him. Now, he does not want to use any external force, so he uses his own power to conquer Dongjiabao.
In fact, the power of Haoge's subordinates was already very strong with Huang Taiji's special arrangement. In addition to the 7,500 cavalrymen in the Yellow Banner, there were also indigenous infantry, Han army flag, and Korean minions. With such strong strength, if Zhang Zhun could not be killed, he would probably be unable to justify himself.
Hardan Batel couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Of course, he could hear Haoge's rejection. His kindness was obviously not accepted by Haoge. In other words, his idea of wanting to get a share of the pie is impossible. But there is no way. Since Haoge does not agree to participate in the attack, he can only accept it.
Hadanbatel was vaguely dissatisfied with this Haoge. Although he knew that you also needed military achievements, I just sent someone to benefit from it, and it was not to steal your limelight. Why should you keep people from thousands of miles away? He was so stingy. How could such a stingy person inherit the Khanate of the Great Jin Kingdom in the future?
Of course, Hadanbatel dared not have any dissatisfaction with Huang Taiji, but he did have some ideas about Haoge and Hadanbatel. Haoge was so stingy and was so greedy when he was in the city of Guihua. He emptied all the property left by Lin Dankhan, and did not even leave a single wool. If Haoge inherited the Khan throne in the future, the Mongols would have been a difficult life. I heard that Haoge also had many enemies in the Great Jin Dynasty, but I am afraid that his Khan throne would be as stable as Huang Taiji!
Even though he defected to the Great Jin Dynasty, Hadan Batel still believed in his heart that he was first a Mongol, and then a member of the Great Jin Dynasty. The position of all issues should be thought from the perspective of the Mongols. The majesty of the Mongolian Khan in the past swept across Liuhe, making them extremely envious. Unfortunately, all this no longer exists.
"well……"
Hardanbatel sighed quietly, his eyes wandering.
Suddenly, his eyes collided with Arislan's eyes. He instantly felt Arislan's deep eyes, which seemed to have some special meaning. Hadan Batel was slightly shocked. Could it be that Arislan also had some thoughts? It seems that it is necessary to communicate in private. After all, we are all Mongolians, aren't it?
The Halashen tribe and the Tumote tribe both surrendered to the force of the Great Jin Kingdom and had to surrender. It was too different from the Korqin tribe. The Korqin tribe used the force of the Great Jin Kingdom to constantly erode and annex various small tribes in Mongolia, causing the strength of the Halashen and Tumote tribes to continue to shrink. This inevitably triggered conflicts between the three Mongolian tribes.
However, with the powerful force of the Great Jin Kingdom, they had to agree with such a result. With their ability, they could not resist any decisions made by Huang Taiji. If the two people's unfaithful intentions were discovered by Huang Taiji, they would be very difficult to live in the future. Therefore, the two quickly exchanged their eyes, and then subconsciously looked away, as if they had never had any eye contact.
Of course, Hauge didn't know Hardan Batel's inner thoughts. Now he is just full of longing for the future. Taking down Dongjiabao, capturing or killing Zhang Zhun alive, the Khan position is a surefire. Thinking of himself as he inherited the high-ranking Khan position, Hauge felt that he was hot all over, his blood was boiling, and his mood was surging.
"Each part of the head is ready."
"Start an attack in half an hour."
Haoge issued an order with confidence.
"Dududu!"
The exciting horns kept echoing in the field.
This is the horn of the attack. When all the troops involved in the attack heard the Niuke, they all came out of the base and concentrated into the open space in front. When the Hu Ben Army in Dongjiabao heard the Niuke, they were slightly shocked when they heard the Niuke. They all came out of the Tibetan military cave, went up to the top of the city, holding the Tiuke guns that had been loaded with ammunition, waiting for the battle.
The long-awaited war officially kicked off.
The one who led the battle was Geng Zhongming's Han Army Flag. This task was taken by Geng Zhongming. He was a little hot-headed and felt that it would not be very difficult to conquer Dongjiabao. If he did not actively compete for such a top score, he might not have a chance in the future. I don't know what happened to Kong Youde, but I guess it would be a little bit of good luck. After Kong Youde died, the two most powerful people in the Han Army Flag were him, Shang Kexi. He hoped to take this opportunity to suppress Shang Kexi.
That's right, Ajige was indeed defeated before, showing a certain strength of the Hu Ben Army. However, Geng Zhongming believed that it was the result of Ajige's accidental plot. If both sides had set their sights and did not use conspiracies, Zhang Zhun would definitely not be Ajige's opponent. At the beginning, there were tens of thousands of troops in Dongjiang Town, but they were beaten up by Ajige and had no chance to get ashore.
Geng Zhongming even believed that the Great Jin army went south with all its might, and the Tiger Army of Dongjiabao might have retreated long ago. The current Dongjiabao is very likely to be an empty shell. After Zhang Zhun flicked a shot here, he would retreat quickly. Does Zhang Zhun think that relying on a small castle like Dongjiabao, even an ordinary county town, could it be able to stop the iron hoof of the Great Jin army?
Geng Zhongming's traitor team mainly used firearms such as three-eyed guns, thunder guns, and flying bird guns. Their main task was to oppress near the wall of Dongjiabao, then fire guns at the top of the city, kill the defenders at the top of the city at close range, and cover the Korean servants behind to set up the ladders. At the same time, some of these traitor teams also carried ladders and participated in the attack.
Behind them is the Korean vassal army. These Korean vassal army basically have no decent weapons, they are completely the role of engineers. Each of them is carrying a ladder and swarming forward. For them, as long as they send the ladder to the bottom of the wall of Dongjiabao, they will complete the task. The wall of Dongjiabao is not high, and the ladder is completely enough. Three thousand Korean vassal army carries seven or eight hundred ladders. Hundreds of ladders are built together, which is enough for the defenders to have a headache.
"Oh shit!"
"These traitors!"
Yang Zixuan saw all this in the Qianli Mirror and couldn't help but curse in disappointment.
Because he encountered too many traitors, he no longer felt angry. When he saw the traitor appear, he could only curse a few words in disappointment, and he would be owed any more. Because too many swears can easily affect his emotions and make a calm judgment. For traitors, the Hu Ben Army has only one way to deal with it, that is: kill! Unless the other party has lost its combat ability, he will be killed without mercy!
Behind were the Tartars who were supervising the army. Of course, the traitors of the Han army flag did not dare to neglect. They held muskets and ladders, and rushed forward in a hurry. It seemed that these traitors were not afraid of the attacks of the Hu Ben Army at all, and they were really brave. Zhang Zhun carefully examined several traitors in the Qianli Mile Mile, and found that their expressions were all numb. Their eyes were also numb, and they felt like they were walking corpses.
In fact, after surrendering to the Tartars, most of the rebel soldiers were trained to become walking dead by the Tartars in various cruel methods. The Tartars did not need any feelings for these rebels, they just needed to kill. In the crazy killings going south, most of them had lost themselves and became pure killing machines. If a sober person was so hard to act as the executioner of the Tartars?
Following the Han military flag is the second Tartars of Korea. These two Tartars of Korea are equally abominable. Under the tyranny of the Tartars, they regard killing the Han people as a channel for venting. Some even regard killing the Han people as the greatest pleasure. It may be killed with one knife. However, if they fall to the hands of these two Tartars of Korea, they may be tortured to death, and they cannot survive or die. Every time the Tartars go south, these two Tartars of Korea often act as vanguards and are also executioners who massacre the Han people.
There were a small number of real Tartars between the Han army flag and the two Korean Tartars. They were the special guards stationed there. Under the shouts of these Tartars, the traitors and the two Tartars were running very fast. Soon, the enemy entered a range of 150 feet of flying dragon cannons and grape shells.
"preparation!"
"put!"
Xu Ziwen shouted in a deep voice.
"Bangbangbangbang!"
"Bangbangbangbang!"
"Bangbangbangbang!"
A series of cannons sounded, and the Tiger Ben Army's flying dragon cannon was fired.
The flying dragon cannon is no longer a secret weapon. The Tartars knew it completely and there was no need to keep it secret. Now, when the enemy entered the range of the grape bullets, they naturally smashed over. Sure enough, the grape bullets scattered in the sky and turned into life-threatening marbles. The marbles kept splashing and then fell fiercely in the middle of the enemy.
The traitors and the two Korean Tatars who were hit by marbles kept falling down with screams and wailing sounds appeared on the battlefield. The muskets and ladders they carried were lying on the ground in a row. Some enemies behind them were unable to take a step and were tripped by the ladders at once. The blood flowing made the field very slippery, and they would fall if they were not careful.
Sometimes, many enemies even fell to the ground together, and no one knew what was going on. At one point the scene was quite chaotic. With the counterattack of the Hu Ben Army, the traitors and the Korean vassal army gradually mixed together and could no longer distinguish them. The surviving enemies passed through the gap between the marbles in a mess and continued to move forward.
The distance was quickly shortened to one hundred feet.
"Open fire!"
Yang Zixuan also shouted.
Since Zhang Zhun is in Dongjiabao, he doesn't have to worry about the Tartars not coming to attack. Therefore, the Dingzi Camp can open fire with all its might, striving to kill as many Tartars as possible. All the battles of the Tiger Army in Dongjiabao are aimed at consuming the enemy's vitality. Since the Hu Ben gun can also effectively kill the enemy at a distance of 100 feet, let the Tartars tremble in the Minnie bomb!
"Bang bang bang!"
"Bang bang bang!"
"Bang bang bang!"
As the gunshots continued, Minnie bullets roared away.
Sure enough, there were constant falls of enemies in the distance. Many enemies who had just escaped the grape bullets were knocked down by the sudden Minnie bullet before they could figure out what was going on. The muskets or ladders in their hands were thrown aside, and the scene was even more disorganized and chaotic.
Zhang Zhun held up a thousand-mile mirror and calmly looked at everything on the battlefield. The enemies in the attack continued to fall down under the attack of Grape Bullets and Minni Bullets, and hundreds of people were killed in a while. As they continued to approach, more enemies would be killed. This is a truly real road to death. As long as they set out on, there would be fewer chances to get rid of their destiny.
However, for the senior executives of both sides, these lost lives are just a number. No one cares about who is killed. Since it is a war, it will definitely kill people. If you cannot accept this, you will not be able to appear on the battlefield as a commander. For a commander, a heart of heart is a must.
In fact, for China with excessive human resources, human life is the least valuable. In foreign wars, the deaths are often the least, and civil strife is the most dead. A Taiping Heavenly Kingdom caused 50 to 60 million people to die, almost more than the Chinese who died in World War II. Wars such as the Five Barbarians and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms have caused a sharp reduction in the number of people.
Looking at the falling crowd, Haoge was also expressionless. According to his arrangement, the Han army flag and the Korean minion army were originally used as cannon fodder. Their only purpose was to successfully send the ladder under the wall of Dongjiabao. As long as this goal was achieved, everything else could be ignored.
In a short while, the enemy fell down hundreds or thousands of corpses in the field outside Dongjiabao. A large amount of blood poured out rendered the field into a dark red. The enemies following behind had to move forward in a winding manner, because the straight road was blocked by the corpses. They either took a detour or jumped over the corpses. However, the number of corpses was too large, and they kept jumping around and their physical strength would be consumed soon.
Huang Taiji held a thousand-mile mirror behind him and carefully observed the battlefield. The fall of the Han army flag and the Korean minion army could not cause any shock in Huang Taiji's heart. Like Haoge, Huang Taiji believed that they were cannon fodder and were for sacrifice. This was the beginning of the battle between the two sides. Dead people were just insignificant details.
"Come on! Huang Taiji! Haoge!"
"Fuck your grandma!"
Unlike Zhang Zhun, Yang Zixuan, the commander of the Ding Camp, was very excited and shouted loudly. He walked around the city, shouting loudly to boost morale.
Yang Zixuan's name is elegant, but in essence, he is still a rough man. When he gets excited, he will swear wildly. This is the case for most officers of the Hu Ben Army. Facts have proved that on the battlefield, swearing is like a stimulant, which can effectively boost the morale of his subordinates. In war, is it the work of the head on the belt, and is it so literary that he wants to die?
The soldiers of the Dingzi Camp were all energetic and morale high. Although solid bullets hit them from time to time, causing injuries to people, they had no effect on others. The people who were killed and injured were immediately carried away, and the new force immediately replenished and continued to shoot at the enemy. Looking at the enemy rushing up and falling down in a series, each Tiger Ben Army soldier was filled with pride.
Go to die! Go to die! Let’s see how many of you have a good time! Death of a traitor, a hundred times is not enough! Death of two Tartars, a thousand times is not enough! As for those real Tartars, even if they die ten thousand times is not enough! If you have the ability, come up and see how the masters greet you!
"Bangbangbangbang!"
"Bangbangbangbang!"
"Bangbangbangbang!"
As the enemy approaches, the range of the flying dragon cannon continues to shorten.
A large number of grape bombs kept splashing, making the enemy fall faster. As the enemy kept approaching, their team inevitably became more compact, which gave grape bombs a better chance of killing. While the enemy fell, a large number of ladders also fell down, effectively intercepting the enemy's path behind and reducing their running speed.
Compared with the insurgent bombing of grape bombs, the snipers around Zhang Zhun prefer to shoot one shot and accurately kill the enemy. As a large number of snipers were transferred out to be officers, the sniper team added a large number of novices. This was the first time these novices participated in actual combat after entering the sniper team, and of course they had to actively show themselves.
Any enemy with obvious signs, any enemy with a special identity, and any enemy that attracts the attention of snipers, are knocked down one by one under their guns. These so-called novices are relative to snipers. In the original troops, they were all sharpshooters, and the accuracy of their marksmanship is self-evident.
At this time, the most tragic thing was of course the real Tartars mixed with the traitors and the Second Tartars team. Their outfits were incompatible with the traitors around them, making them the targets for snipers to kill first. The sound of gunfires passed, and all these Tartar soldiers could not see them.
Arislan, who was beside Huang Taiji, suddenly said intentionally or unintentionally: "Che Chen Khan, should the cannon be a little further?"
Huang Taiji shook his head and said deeply: "No need."
The Red Armor cannon can fire grape bombs a little further. Huang Taiji also knows the power of the grape bomb. However, the Red Armor cannon cannon will enter the firing range of the Tiger Ben Army's flying dragon cannon, which is very likely to attract counterattack from the enemy cannon.
According to Ajige, although the Hu Ben Army did not have the powerful Red Barbarian cannon, there were still some general artillery. Huang Taiji of course did not want to push the Red Barbarian cannon to the range of the enemy cannon. He didn't want to directly launch artillery attacks with the Hu Ben Army.
Arislan found that his suggestion was not effective, and felt embarrassed, and said nothing, and stepped back obediently. He looked at Hardanbatel beside him with a gloomy expression, and found that he was staring at Dongjiabao with all his attention. So Arislan's eyes also returned to Dongjiabao.
At this time, a Korean minion army had already carried a ladder to the wall of Dongjiabao. They were obviously very skilled in setting up ladders. After reaching the wall, they immediately raised the ladders. However, after suffering from the attack of the Hu Ben Army, the number of Tartars reached the bottom of the city wall was very small, with only a dozen ladders. As a result, their ladders were just raised and were immediately pushed down.
Dong Huaxia and the Cangzhou Volunteers led by Dong Daowu were very active on the top of the city. They kept pushing down the ladders with huge harpoons. The North Korean minions set up thirty or forty ladders in a row, but they all pushed down. The falling ladder hit the enemy following behind, making them scream in pain.
However, as more traitors and the second Tartars came up, more ladders were set up. It was unlikely that they could simply rely on manual pushing down the ladder. The speed of ladders was completely faster than pushing the ladders. Soon, hundreds of ladders were set up around Dongjiabao.
"superior!"
Haoge waved his hand quickly.
Chapter completed!
