Chapter 188 Huang Taiji Fled and Changed Direction

There is nothing wrong with dodging shells.

But it is obvious that the Qing army's dodging method is not quite right.

If it is the artillery of the Ming army, there will be no problem as long as they avoid the frontal attack of the shells and the brick and stone fragments flying after the shells hit the city wall.

However, the artillery of the Salvation Army is obviously different from the traditional artillery.

In an instant, the shells exploded on the city wall, and the flames shot up into the sky and shrapnel flew everywhere.

Many Qing soldiers did not react at all and were blown away by the terrifying shock wave.

Even if they withstood the shock wave, the shrapnel flying everywhere tore the leather armor on their bodies, broke the so-called divine power protection in their bodies, and deeply penetrated into their bodies.

In the end, they could only stop breathing in waves of painful wails.

In comparison, those soldiers who died instantly were happier.

It was Huang Taiji who reacted at the first time and immediately mobilized the national destiny dragon energy for protection.

"Ang~!"

The golden dragon roared, and a brilliant golden light fell, instantly covering Huang Taiji.

Although the artillery fire was sharp, causing the golden light to fluctuate, it did not break the protection of the national destiny dragon energy.

Looking at the tragic scene around him, Huang Taiji's eyes were a little bloodshot.

"Dodge, be careful to dodge, the enemy's shells will explode"

As Huang Taiji shouted, he organized the soldiers to defend and counterattack, and the Qing army finally stabilized gradually.

Countless Qing soldiers began to look for the battlements of the city wall to hide.

Seeing that all the soldiers on the top of the city had hidden, Zhou Junsheng couldn't help but look fierce.

"Extend the attack to the city."

This is no longer Han land, and the people in it are either from the Lindan Khan tribe or the Qing army.

In this case, don't blame him for washing the ground with artillery.

"Boom boom boom"

"Boom boom boom"

In an instant, there was a fire in Guihua City, and there were violent explosions and screams everywhere.

Even if you hide in a room, you are not absolutely safe.

A shell landing nearby will collapse a section of the house.

This bombing lasted for a whole stick of incense, and the shells were almost exhausted.

"Artillery cover, attack the city!"

At this time, Zhou Junsheng ordered the attack.

No one spoke, and the four thousand people's rescue soldiers rushed out with guns.

Relying on the protection of dragon energy, Huang Taiji, who had been carefully observing the city, instantly discovered the actions of the people's rescue soldiers.

He shouted again immediately.

"The enemy is attacking the city, everyone prepare to fight back"

However, facing the fierce artillery bombardment, they were already scared, and not many people dared to stand up.

Only those extraordinary soldiers who mastered divine power were nervously leaning against the wall and looking down.

When the people's rescue soldiers got closer, these people immediately began to try to use bows and arrows to fight back while avoiding the artillery fire.

With the blessing of divine power, arrows intertwined in the air into a rain of arrows, instantly shooting at the Salvation Army under the city.

They could not reach the 400-500 meters of the Salvation Army, but about 300 meters was still no problem.

However, facing the rain of arrows set by the city wall, the Salvation Army could often avoid it very easily.

Even if some of them could not be avoided, the arrows shot at the body would often be bounced off.

The barrier clothing magic can make clothes have strong defensive capabilities.

It can be said that even if the Salvation Army wears single clothes, they can defend against ordinary sword attacks and arrows.

What's more, everyone in the Salvation Army wears armor.

Therefore, even if they can't ignore all attacks, they can defend most of them.

In this way, the damage caused by the Qing army's arrows to the Salvation Army can be imagined. It is not to say that there is no damage at all, but it is almost no damage.

But on the contrary, the Salvation Army's counterattack caused great casualties to the Qing army.

"Pa pa pa"

Every crisp gunshot will result in the death of a Qing soldier.

Even if they used their divine power, they were still vulnerable to modern firearms. Only those generals with strong divine power could barely resist.

However, facing the continuous shooting of the Salvation Army, their divine power would soon be exhausted and then they would be shot to death.

In addition, there were shells fired from time to time, making violent explosions.

The firepower of the new firearms and artillery units was too strong, and they had no way to resist it.

The shells and bullets drew arcs in the air and fell on the positions of the Qing army.

The explosion was deafening and the flames shot up into the sky. The bullets intertwined into a net, and the Qing army kept falling in the gunfire.

When Huang Taiji saw this scene, he immediately realized that if this continued, the Qing army would be annihilated here.

Huang Taiji made a prompt decision and immediately issued an order to retreat, allowing the soldiers to withdraw from Guihua City in an orderly manner.

Huang Taiji led the elite troops out of the city.

After discovering his movements, Zhou Junsheng immediately led his army to pursue him.

Well, this is also a great Khan, and even stronger than Lin Danhan.

If he is killed, his golden dragon mark will definitely solidify to the extreme in an instant, surpassing Wang Zhenyuan.

Every time Wang Zhenyuan showed the golden dragon mark on his forehead, he was full of envy.

And now, the opportunity has come.

On the other side, 5,000 elite Qing troops, led by Huang Taiji, quickly evacuated Guihua City.

They passed through the ruins and corpses and retreated towards the distant mountains. Zhou Junsheng led a thousand people's salvation army in pursuit.

However, due to the Qing army's familiarity with the surrounding terrain advantages, coupled with Huang Taiji's command, they divided their troops from time to time to resist Zhou Junsheng and his men.

Although they were no match for the people's salvation army, they could always delay for a while by fighting to the death.

In the end, they failed to catch up with Huang Taiji.

Zhou Junsheng couldn't help but sighed with regret.

He felt that this time, Wang Zhenyuan might get the credit again.

Huang Taiji, who escaped from the pursuers, looked at the direction of Guihua City behind him with lingering fear.

I don't know where this army came from. It's really a fierce firearm.

If, if they also have such firearms, they will surely be able to easily break through the Ming army's city, and it is also reasonable to enter the Central Plains.

"Khan, it seems to be the people's salvation army."

Fan Wencheng, who was given special care, came forward with a pale face and spoke.

"Hmm~? The People's Salvation Army? The People's Salvation Army in Shaanxi?"

"Well, judging from their attire and the rumors that the People's Salvation Army's firearms are sharp, it should be the People's Salvation Army."

"Damn it, how could they suddenly appear outside Guihua City to attack us?

No."

Suddenly, Huang Taiji's expression changed slightly as if he had thought of something.

It seems that the People's Salvation Army did not appear suddenly, but there were certain signs.

"Khan, is there any problem?"

Fan Wencheng spoke.

"When I saw that Lin Dan Khan crossed the river, his luck suddenly became pure and powerful, and I was a little confused.

Now I have some ideas."

"The Khan means the People's Salvation Army."

"Well, with the strength they showed before, it is enough to eliminate Lin Dan Khan in a short time."

"So, the national destiny presented to the west of the Yellow River does not belong to Lin Dan Khan, but to the People's Salvation Army."

Huang Taiji looked solemnly to the west, and it seemed that he could vaguely see a pure and condensed bright yellow.

He was certain in his heart that this army of salvation must be the biggest opponent and enemy of the Qing Dynasty, even the Ming court was inferior to it.

However, looking at the army of only more than 3,000 behind him, Huang Taiji could not help but sigh again.

Now is not the time to think about those things, everything has to wait until he returns to Shengjing Shenyang.

Moreover, he did not know how the Qing army that entered the pass was doing.

After thinking about it, Huang Taiji continued to lead his army forward, preparing to station in Fengzhou, waiting for the return of the Qing army that entered the pass.

At the same time, he also sent people to the pass to inquire about intelligence and news.

However, as he continued to move eastward, Huang Taiji began to feel uneasy.

Frowning and looking in the direction of Fengzhou, Huang Taiji was extremely irritable.

In the end, Huang Taiji ordered to stop moving forward.

No, he could not move forward anymore.

There must be some danger ahead.

After some thinking, Huang Taiji's heart suddenly moved.

Could it be that there was an ambush of the army of salvation ahead?

The more he thought about it, the more Huang Taiji felt that this was the case.

In this case, let's avoid Fengzhou ahead, and we can also go outside the Great Wall to meet Dorgon and others.

After thinking about this clearly, Huang Taiji felt that his eyes were clear and he was no longer irritable.

At this time, Wang Zhenyuan had already occupied Fengzhou and was waiting for the remnants of Huang Taiji and other troops.

As for whether Huang Taiji could escape the siege of Zhou Junsheng and others, he felt that there was basically no problem.

The leader of a country is not so easy to kill.

From the situation when they killed Lin Danhan before, we know that there were only a few dozen people left, and they were forced to a dead end by the Yellow River. They took a lot of effort.

Huang Taiji has 20,000 troops. As long as he can be more cautious and retreat early, there is still a great possibility that he can lead some people to escape.

However, when Zhou Junsheng received the news a day later, he was surprised to find that.

Huang Taiji did escape, and he was even ready to rush to Fengzhou.

But halfway through, no one knew what happened, and suddenly they took a detour to the south.

After receiving the news, Wang Zhenyuan was silent for a while, and finally decided to lead his army to pursue.

Although he also knew that it was highly unlikely that Huang Taiji could be killed.

However, it was always okay to try, what if it worked?

On the other side, Zhou Junsheng, who also received the news, made the same decision.

After communicating through the heaven and earth status, the two decided to lead 2,000 cavalry each, and jointly encircle and suppress Huang Taiji from the north and west, and sent a message to Yang Zonghan.

At that time, Yang Zonghan was rushing to the location of the Qing army in Xuanfu.

After annihilating most of the Qing army, Dorgon and others led the remnant army to escape, and Yang Zonghan originally wanted to pursue.

However, at this time, Xuanfu also ushered in the attack of the Ming army. The 20,000 Guanning troops originally aimed at the Qing army, and Cao Wenzhao's 3,000 extraordinary assault camp soldiers did not have time to fight with the Qing army, but instead faced the people's salvation army.

At this time, if Yang Zonghan wanted to completely occupy Datong Xuanfu, he could only return to resist.

Especially after this period of fighting, their guns and ammunition were running low, and they might have to spend a little more effort when fighting the Ming army.

If he didn't personally stay in Xuanfu, Yang Zonghan was really a little worried.

Therefore, he just sent a message to Wang Zhenyuan and the others, and then returned to Xuanfu to organize to resist the attack of the Ming army.

However, in the end, Wang Zhenyuan and Zhou Junsheng led their troops to pursue and kill more than 5,000 Qing troops.

However, they were deliberately left behind by Huang Taiji and his men to delay their march.

Huang Taiji, Dorgon and his men had already led the core extraordinary soldiers and left in advance.

In the end, Wang Zhenyuan and his men could only helplessly look at the direction of Huang Taiji's retreat, sighing that they had missed this opportunity.

Afterwards, everyone gathered their moods and did not return to Guihua and Fengzhou. Instead, they led their troops through the Great Wall and entered Xuanfu, intending to join forces with Yang Zonghan to annihilate the Ming army that had cleared Xuanfu.
