Chapter 2630 Gui Zi Juan is irreversible and collapses
Seeing his men's bewildered look, Jin Yuhe didn't know what happened for a while. Could it be that the Jianzhou cavalry directly broke through the Zhou army's defense line and the horse riding company encamped?
That’s not the case, right? Just now I heard the rumbling of artillery. The firepower of the Zhou army was still very powerful. No matter how fierce the Nurhaci's cavalry were, they couldn't break the formation in one battle, right?
Or should we say that the Jianzhou Cavalry was frustrated and suffered losses from shelling?
"Sir, the situation is simply unimaginable, you will never imagine it..." The scout almost danced, and for a moment he didn't know how to describe the scene he saw.
“What’s going on? Don’t keep mumbling here for a long time without getting to the point. What’s going on?”
Jin Yuhe couldn't help but feel angry. He wished he could go up and wake up this guy who was still intoxicated by his emotions.
"Sir, it's like this. Zhou Jun's artillery fired a strange shell, which was connected with an iron chain. When it fell, it dragged the chain around. The Jianzhou cavalry was dragged to pieces by these running shells. , was defeated without being able to perform at all, the tragic situation..."
The scout was gesticulating while describing everything he saw. Jin Yuhe was stunned by the scene.
He knew that long-barreled heavy artillery was indeed very powerful, but it was even more powerful when used to attack cities and demolish strongholds, but he did not expect that it could produce such results in a field battle. This must be related to the special projectile with an iron chain, but this is What he didn't know anymore.
But none of this is important anymore. The key is that Nurhachi's personal troops were defeated. According to the scouts' account, the six thousand army was stunned by a cannonball before they could even launch an actual offensive. They suffered heavy losses. Now the front line doesn't even know whether to continue the attack or stop here and die down.
How can we fight this battle?
Jin Yuhe didn’t know what to do for a while.
Although it has long been thought of leaving Jianzhou and returning to Dazhou, it still needs to choose the most suitable opportunity based on the situation.
It is said that now is the most appropriate time. A counterattack will definitely stab Jianzhou in the back and cause chaos in Jianzhou. However, Jin Yuhe also understands that generals such as Chu Ying still control the elite Eight Banners Army. If he acts rashly, , if not, you will be shot and killed one by one.
“When you went to watch the battle, did you see other people there, such as the Shi brothers and Dai Jixian’s people?” Jin Yuhe suddenly asked.
The scout was stunned for a moment and then understood, "Yes, people from Master Li and Master Sun, as well as people from the Shi family and Master Dai are watching the battle there, and there are more than one or two. They are as shocked as their subordinates. …”
“Then what?” Jin Yuhe asked again.
“Then they looked at each other in confusion. Finally, they heard that the Great Khan had fainted, and it was only thanks to the support of his concubine that he didn’t get into trouble..." The scout swallowed, not knowing what his master meant.
“Did Khan faint?!” Jin Yuhe was also surprised, “Are you sure?”
"This one did faint. There was chaos in the main camp for a while. Later, the big brother-in-law came out and calmed down the situation, and then the situation was stabilized. But it seems that there is no talk of continuing the attack..." The scout cautiously said Authentic: "Sir, you can ask Mr. Li Ehuang and Mr. Sun. They should know..."
Jin Yuhe snorted coldly. If you can ask them, you need to remind them. It is meaningless to ask Li Yongfang and Sun Degong now, and it will arouse unnecessary suspicion.
“Do the people from the Shi family and Dai Jixian also know about these situations?” Jin Yuhe was more concerned about the attitudes of these two people.
"We all know it and have inquired about it. We basically came back together..." the scout answered honestly.
Jin Yuhe rubbed his chin and thought.
The Shi brothers and Dai Jixian must have been a little shaken.
People like me originally came from the Liaodong Army, and they were not as trusted by the people of Jianzhou as Li Yongfang and Sun Degong. People like E Yidu, He Heli, and Fei Yingdong were naturally alienated from Han Chinese like them. feel.
Everyone also knows that their identities are different and they need to behave with their tail between their legs.
Fortunately, Jianzhou does not have enough troops, and they still need to work hard, so they are still polite on the surface, and all kinds of supplies can be roughly guaranteed, but how long can this situation last?
If Jianzhou wins, it’s easy to say that everyone will follow suit slowly, but if they lose, what will be the fate of Jianzhou in the future?
How can I and my gang be **** with them to accompany them to the killing field?
Perhaps it’s time to choose a new path.
It's not enough for you alone. The Shi brothers and Dai Jixian should also take action. But if you take the initiative, what if the two parties inform?
Jin Yuhe weighed his strength, then compared it, and said: "Immediately arrange for someone to go to the main camp to have a look, and also go to Shijia and Dai Jixian's main camp to observe the situation, and report back immediately..."
Like Jin Yuhe, others who were as restless as Li Yongfang, Sun Degong, the Shi brothers and Dai Jixian.
Li Yongfang and Sun Degong are different from Jin Yuhe, the Shi brothers and Dai Jixian.
Li Yongfang had already taken refuge with Jianzhou Jurchen. He knew that he had no way of turning back. No matter how much Da Zhou promised to forgive him, he would not believe it.
The same goes for Sun Degong. His surrender caused huge casualties and losses to Liaodong Town. It can be said that he "taken the most credit" for the last fall of Shenyang, and his corruption in the army has long had a strong repercussions. The Metropolitan Procuratorate The censor had already targeted him, so he didn't dare to look back.
The current situation in Jianzhou is unfavorable, which naturally makes the two of them panic, and they don't know what to do for a while.
Especially after learning that Wang Yiping's defection did not seem to be implemented according to the planned plan, nor did it achieve corresponding results. On the contrary, the Khan's pro-army, which was implemented according to the planned plan, suffered a devastating blow and suffered extremely heavy losses.
Zhou Jun's powerful firearms ability also made Li Yongfang a little confused.
It is true that the firearms of Dazhou were stronger than those of Jianzhou, but to be honest, the power of those firecrackers a few years ago was really limited. They also had many operating procedures, poor quality, and took a long time. They were far less effective than bows and arrows.
Perhaps the only advantage is that it does not require long training. You can go into battle in three to five months and become proficient in one or two years. Compared with training an archer, it is indeed too simple and cheap.
But the situation shown this time was completely different, at least it was completely different from when he defected to Jianzhou a few years ago.
The shooting distance of the fire cannon has been greatly increased, and its power is fierce. Not to mention ordinary leather armor, even iron leaf armor can be penetrated. Moreover, the artillery that was not worth mentioning at first has now become a trump card.
This kind of long-barreled heavy artillery was originally only used for siege, and it was difficult to manufacture, and the gun body was heavy and difficult to move. Now the Zhou army can easily take out hundreds of them, and it seems that they have also set up special artillery carriages to move them, and there is that weird The chain bullet suddenly blinded Jianzhou.
This not only caused huge losses to Jianzhou's side, but more importantly, it demoralized Jianzhou's side. Dahan actually fainted. Although he woke up now, he seemed to have lost his mind and had to rely on He and Li. Help him make a decision. Has this situation ever happened before?
Judging from their tone, they seem to be worried that the Western Front will be a trap. Once the reinforcements on the Western Front are already plotted by Zhou, then the world will truly fall apart.
Li Yongfang didn't know what to do. He had no way out. He also knew that Da Zhou hated him to the bone, but now he was at a loss.
Li Yongfang and Sun Degong were in panic all day long, but the Shi brothers and Dai Jixian had other thoughts.
The news that the scouts came back from the investigation shocked them inexplicably. Why did it look like the big tree was about to fall in the blink of an eye? Could it be that Jianzhou really couldn't get over this hurdle?
Jianzhou can't get over this hurdle, but they can't jump into the pit. If Jianzhou really wants to retreat to the deep mountains and old forests east and north of Hetuala, they won't accompany him.
The question is what to do now? The Shi brothers also thought of Jin Yuhe first. Each family had the same plan. If there was a leader who took the lead in attacking, then it would be right for them to follow, but if they were asked to take the lead, they felt a little guilty and timid.
When Jin Yuhe learned that Nurhachi and He Heli had agreed to temporarily stop the offensive and wait for news about the battle situation on the western front, he knew that a decision needed to be made.
Once the news coming back from the Western Front is unfavorable, then Jianzhou will probably have to consider a retreat, and the opportunity for itself will be at that moment.
If the news about the return from the Western Front is good, that's another matter. You can keep an eye on it.
Everyone's eyes were looking at the Western Front, and at this time, Youshilu's tribe was rushing to the battlefield on the Western Front. They had to enter the battle in the shortest possible time to prevent Huerhan's tribe from breaking through the Western Front. But in fact, Huerhan's troops The Ministry has also suffered a heavy setback under the power blockage of Hei Yunlong.
It can be said that the major misjudgment of the Zhou army's use of firearms should be Jianzhou's biggest mistake in this war. The power of firecrackers was increased, the artillery was widely used, the use of new chain ammunition, and the ability to anticipate the enemy's opportunities. Preparation, all of this directly resulted in Jianzhou falling into Da Zhou's rhythm from the beginning, and everything was proceeding according to Da Zhou's plan.
The addition of You Shilu, a new force, is just the final nail in the coffin of Jianzhou's failure.
So, when You Shilu's cavalry brigade took the lead in appearing behind the Jianzhou Army who was still besieging the precarious Tao Dasheng camp, everything collapsed irreparably.
