In the Battle of Dalingh River in history, the army of Dali was beaten and fled by Jiannu, and lost more than 100,000 people. But now, in addition to the initial defeat of Song Wei and Wu Xiang, Jiannu suffered unprecedented losses. First, 3,000 Mongolian troops were wiped out by Tang Qi outside Dalingh River City, and then 1,000 Jiannu troops and 3,000 Mongolian troops were wiped out by Tang Qi in Jinzhou. Such losses were the highest suffered by Jiannu since the uprising, and Huang Taiji was extremely depressed about this.
These two battles caused the morale of Huang Taiji's men to plummet, so that the force of the attack on Dalinghhe City was much smaller than in the original history. Just when Huang Taiji was in an extremely bad mood, he received a shocking piece of news that Shengjing was actually breached by Dalinghhe's army.
Shengjing was captured by the army of Daqin. What a concept! Anyone with a little common sense would know what a huge blow this was to the entire Jiannu. So Huang Taiji was so angry that he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. After swaying a few times, he sat down on the ground.
Huang Taiji was a very fat man. He seemed very brave on the outside, but in fact, he had been drained of his body by women over the years. He was a kind of puffy person. He often felt short of breath and guilty. The battles had not been going well in recent days, and his liver fire was even more intense. After being greatly stimulated by the fall of Shengjing, his qi and blood reversed and he coughed up blood.
When Huang Taiji's subordinates saw Huang Taiji vomiting blood, they were all shocked. However, there were also some who were gloating, like Dorgun, who wished that Huang Taiji would die of anger. Later, more than a dozen riders came to deliver the following news. After Huang Taiji woke up, he knew clearly that this time, he could not continue the siege of Dalingh City. In this case, he had to return to Shengjing for support, because Huang Taiji knew very well that that large musket team could not be dealt with by the few troops left behind in Shengjing.
Zu Dashou and He Kegang were very surprised to see that the Jiannu army suddenly withdrew, but they did not dare to go out of the city gate, fearing that it was a conspiracy of Huang Taiji. However, this did not prevent Zu Dashou from asking for credit for himself. After the spies found out that the Jiannu army seemed to have really left, he submitted a memorial to the court asking for credit for himself. In the memorial, he talked about how bravely he killed the enemy and forced Huang Taiji to retreat.
Afterwards, Song Wei and Wu Xiang, who were hiding in Jinzhou, also found that the Jiannu people who were pursuing them had withdrawn. In addition to being overjoyed, they also wanted to take credit for themselves, and rushed to write in the memorial how many Jiannu people they had killed.
Zu Dashou, Song Wei, Wu Xiang and others are not good-for-nothings. They are all smart people in officialdom. However, in military affairs, Zu Dashou is quite capable, while Song Wei and Wu Xiang are truly incompetent. Compared with Huang Taiji, they are worlds apart. Before leaving, Huang Taiji set a trap for Wu Xiang and others. Huang Taiji only brought 10,000 people to take the lead, but the other 100,000 or so people made a surprise attack. When Wu Xiang and others brought their men to Dalingh City to meet Zu Dashou and others, a Jiannu army, led by Dorgun, took advantage of the lack of troops in Jinzhou City and broke into the city. However, another Jiannu army ambushed Wu Xiang and others. This time, Wu Xiang and Song Wei were almost barely able to escape.
Not to mention that Huang Taiji led his 20,000 troops to march back day and night. At this time, the fortifications built by Tang Qie's men on the banks of the Hun River not far from Shengjing showed great power. When Zhang Yiheng saw that the people rushing up were 20,000 Han slaves, he did not let his soldiers waste bullets, but forced the temporary Han slave team to shoot and kill them with bows and arrows moved from the Shengjing arsenal.
There is no room for mercy on the battlefield. Once the Han slaves who obeyed the Jiannu broke through the position, no matter how powerful the muskets in their hands were, they would be useless. In fact, Tang Qi and Zhang Yiheng felt uncomfortable watching those Han slaves being shot to death, but these people had long learned to submit under the Jiannu's whip, and they were hoping to escape after breaking through this position. However, under the nearly ten thousand bows and arrows, 20,000 people were quickly killed or wounded, and only a few people were smart enough to hide in the trenches and escaped.
After these people filled the dozen trenches with their bodies and corpses, the nearly 10,000 Jiannu troops thought they had cleared the obstacles on the way forward and launched an attack on the position. Zhang Yiheng commanded the temporary Han troops to retreat into the dug trenches and hide, while a thousand soldiers with muskets stepped forward and formed a shooting formation behind rows of chevaux de frise.
The impact of 10,000 cavalrymen was very frightening. The shocking sound of horse hooves made the entire earth tremble. Most of the temporary Han troops hiding in the trenches were frightened and turned pale. They almost scrambled to escape back along the trenches. On the contrary, the Japanese auxiliary troops had won several battles following Tang Yi's soldiers, and they had an almost superstitious trust in these Japanese soldiers armed with muskets. They hid in the trenches in the front. Although some of them changed color after hearing the sound of horse hooves, few of them ran away.
The Jiannu people had very high horse riding skills and did not care about the dozen or so trenches in front of them that had been filled with people. Starting from the first trench, they were not affected at all and the speed of their attack was getting faster and faster. After they were within a distance of 10 steps, Zhang Yiheng finally waved the flag in his hand and ordered his men to shoot.
Under normal circumstances, a thousand breech-loading rifles would not be able to withstand the attack of ten thousand people. Therefore, after the first round of gunfire, although the speed of the Jiannu people's attack was a little slower, it was far from enough to stop the Jiannu people's attack.
Seeing that Tang Lu's men opened fire and the Jiannu people were not stopped, Dayuer felt a little strange. She saw with her own eyes that the musket was indeed powerful, but the situation before her was that although the musket was powerful, it was obviously unable to stop the Jiannu people's attack. So Dayuer couldn't understand why Lord Tang had such great confidence before.
There was a smile on Tang Qi's face all the time, and Dayu'er could not see any panic on Tang Qi's face. Soon, Dayu'er understood that after more than ten feet of trenches, there was a flat road, but these roads were dug with countless small holes, and the openings of the holes were slightly larger than the horse's hooves. No matter how superb the Jiannu people's riding skills were, these scattered holes could not change the condition of the horses' front hooves, and the Jiannu people in the front fell off their horses one by one.
In an instant, the Jiannu army was in chaos and the entire army was completely stopped. Then they could only helplessly allow themselves to be shot or trampled to death by Tang Lu's men.
Despite this, the Jiannu army did not stop. Their bravery made them continue to rush forward. After paying a huge price, the Jiannu army rushed to a place less than thirty steps away. At this time, the Jiannu people discovered that there was a trench in front of the Da'an army, and many Japanese were hiding in this trench.
When these Japanese saw the Jiannu troops rushing towards them, they did not flee immediately. Instead, they stood up one by one and threw the bombs in their hands at the Jiannu people. With the sound of booming, the Jiannu people could no longer move forward even a single step when they were about to win and became objects to be slaughtered. Fortunately, these Jiannu people were well-trained. When the attack became hopeless, the Jiannu people at the back quickly retreated. However, there were 10,000 people who came up, but only 4,000 people were left when they retreated, and they were basically crippled.
After the Jiannu people retreated, Zhang Yiheng quickly organized people to pile up the bodies of the Jiannu people in front of the formation, and took the surviving Han slaves to the rear. The dead Han slaves were buried in a large pit. In a sense, he was doing them justice. After all, these people were working for the Jiannu people. Although they were not forced, they did not deserve sympathy. In the eyes of Tang Yi, who had a bit of an angry young man mentality, life was important, but the interests of the country and the nation were more important.
By this time, Dayuer had fully realized the power of the musket team. This battle could not be called a battle at all. It was purely a massacre. The Jiannu army, which had defeated the Mongols and made them flee in disarray, was so vulnerable in front of this musket team. This shock made Dayuer speechless for a long time. There was fear in her eyes when she looked at Tang Lu. With Dayuer's wisdom, she knew that as long as the army had 20,000 people, it could easily destroy the Later Jin Dynasty.
What Dayu'er didn't know was that nearly a century ago, a Western army of only 3,000 people, armed with muskets that were far inferior to those of Tang Yu and his men, destroyed a golden empire with nearly 10 million troops on the American continent.
Tang Lu was very satisfied with Dayuer's expression. He knew that the children on the grassland admired the strong the most. When Huang Taiji was powerful, Dayuer and her Mongolian people would follow him. But now that he, Tang Lu, showed that he was stronger than Huang Taiji, Tang Lu believed that with such a smart person like Dayuer, she would quickly understand that following him would lead to a better future.
"Let's watch today's performance at home. If you want to watch it, wait until Huang Taiji comes." Tang Qi picked up Dayuer and walked towards the temporary tent.
To conquer a woman, one must not only conquer her mind and consciousness, but also her body. Tang Chen didn't know who said this, but Tang Chen thought it made sense, so Tang Chen planned to conquer her physically.
