Beiyang new warlord

More than two months earlier, the Dongjiang army had already set up their positions. Where the Qing army set up camp, the gunners had also measured the units in advance. You can hit it with your eyes closed, let alone go to death with full concentration.

There were four rounds of shelling yesterday, and more than 800 shells were fired. It is estimated that at least five or six hundred frontier Qing army heavy infantry or cavalry were killed or injured. A great battle that wiped out tens of thousands of Ming troops was over.

However, after being severely beaten by Dongjiang feudal warlordism, the Qing army seemed to have learned to behave. Taking advantage of the dark night, tens of thousands of coated slaves who came with the army were busy all night. A three-kilometer mound of mounds and trenches stood out in front of the Qing army, firmly wrapping the thick and huge Jianzhou Jurchen army town behind.

Although the Qing army's siege ability is mediocre, their civil engineering ability cannot be underestimated. In the battle of Daling River, the Qing people dug three trenches and earth walls in a row, and the Zu Dashou army was firmly besieged in the city of Daling River. Surrounded by ditches to fight for reinforcements, Mao Jue was almost killed at the foot of Dalinghe City.

Seeing the incomparably majestic Qing army formation only showing a small part behind the trench group, but still full of banners and banners, one tent after another, like a mushroom bush, Mao Jue snorted fiercely, and immediately raised his hand again. He took out the can and stuffed it into his mouth.

Just when Mao Jue was envious of the large number of people in the Qing army, he didn't know that Huang Taiji was also doing the same thing.

"This Dongjiang barbarian! Where did you get so many cannons!"

No wonder Huang Taiji sighed in such a vicissitudes, Ning Jin's great victory, Yuan Chonghuan beat the invincible Nurhachi back to the front line of Liaoshen, relying on Hongyi cannons, how many cannons did Yuan Chonghuan have at that time?Eleven doors!

In the sixth year of Chongzhen, a Ming army ship carrying Hongyi cannons ran aground in Ningqian. The Qing court took the attitude of grabbing Soviet tanks from Zhenbao Island and dragged back the sunken cannons, so that Jurchen Tong Tong Yangxing, headed by the Jia family, formed a heavy army, imitating the red barbarian cannons, and exhausted the efforts of nine donkeys and two dogs. How many red cannons does the Qing army have now?

24 doors!

Except for those staying in Shengjing, Huang Taiji hasn't produced many cannons for so many years. As a result, when he arrived in Dongjiang, my good guy, the sixteen red cannons in the two Yabaos have already been regarded as the main artillery of the Dongjiang Army by him. It is a dangerous mountain castle with five or seven or six cannons, and there are no less than a hundred red cannons in front and back. Baima Mountain City and Dongjiang Academy are equipped with more than fifty red cannons. Breaking through the Dongjiang River, half of Huang Taiji suddenly woke up, and the other half was awakened by the shelling of the 200 defenders of Baima Mountain City. Good guy, this is too much. Yesterday, Mao Jue showed more than [-] points. cannon.

You don't need money for your cannon?

But don’t say it, Huang Taiji’s emotion is true. The smelting technology of the Qing court was backward. For every thirty cannons cast, only one or two were successful. The cost was 6000 taels a piece. The Ming Dynasty was better, and the technology was ahead. , but a cannon is transferred from the Ministry of Households to the arsenal under the Ministry of War for casting. I don’t know how many civil and military officials and eunuchs stretched out their hands. Only a few cannons are actually used. about.

Mao Jue has neither of these two disadvantages. Dongjiang’s firearms workshop is his own. Who dares to embezzle his money? The cost here is actually a big one. Before there was no steam engine, the cost of casting a cannon was only a few hundred taels, but now it has dropped to more than 200 taels.

There are also ammunition, volcanoes, local Dongjiang, Japan has a lot of salt mines, and Hamgyongdo has a lot. Although Japan is a little less, the power of half the country is not too small. As for charcoal, it is simpler. These days, there are virgin forests all over the mountains and plains , lack of wood?Then there is the iron ball of the cannonball, which is even simpler. With the steam engine, it can be polished evenly. Others are not bad for money, but Mao Jue is not bad for guns!

But Huang Taiji is such a hero, just feeling a little emotional, after his eyes turned red, once again, his sharp eagle eyes that did not match his fat face burst out with a low spirit, and the corners of his mouth hung up again. A cold smile.

"But this hairy barbarian is still too tender!"

"What the emperor said is absolutely true!"

In the binoculars, one piece was made of sacks, and the stepped circular position was reflected in the binoculars. The more than 200 Hongyi cannons that showed off yesterday were all surrounded by Mao Jue, and Fan Wencheng's old face was also revealed With a sneer, holding the binoculars in both hands, he returned them to Huang Taiji.

Stuffing the precious western telescope into the mirror bag on his waist, and pulling the horse, Huang Taiji immediately descended from the towering mound, gaining wisdom by eating a ditch. On the three-kilometer mound fortress, eight people in clothes and him followed The stand-in in almost the same clothes also dragged the horse's head down from the mound, and then 32 Jurchen strong men with pigtails and fleshy bodies slammed the sixteen-sided cowhide drums. There was a gap in the earth wall, and the Qing army rushed out like ants.

Normally, the Qing army would plunder the population from the invading area as cannon fodder to lead the battle, but Dongjiang Mao Jue's walls and fields were too clean, and none of the people in Dongjiang were his precious resources, and none of them were left for Jiannu, so he almost took the lead The ones are the coated slaves of each family.

With a horse hanger on his body, a knife in one hand, and a dirt basket in the other, the first wave of about 3000 people in coats rushed out of the dirt circle with high morale, and ran forward for dozens of steps. Going to fight, squatting down and holding a shovel, desperately digging in the wet and soft wheat field.

Behind them, some Eight Banners of the Han Army equipped with rough leather armor were pushing oar carts, coming out heavily and slowly from behind.

This method of tactics is similar to when Mao Jue and Matsudaira Nobuzuna under the Nagasaki Castle confronted each other. Facing the superiority of Dongjiang's artillery fire, they used civil engineering, continuously dug trenches as cover, and then advanced layer by layer to the bottom of the mountain.

The [-] coats from this stockade were scattered on the three to four kilometers long frontal front, and the formation was extremely loose, and it was also specially used to deal with the Dongjiang cannon. Five guns, I'll earn it!

Moreover, war can never be seen in the light. Behind the earthen wall, about [-] of the most capable warriors of the Eight Banners Army's Xiaoqi Battalion crouched behind their horses, waiting specially. If Mao Jue sent cavalry and infantry down the mountain to attack and harass these Dig the coating of the tunnel, and the soldiers will come out of the town to entangle the Dongjiang troops, and then the superior cavalry will encircle and eat a large number of his troops.

It has just rained, and the mountain soil is not considered hard, and as long as you dig a trench and come back alive, you will have half a career in the military. Beheading the next head, and the hope of raising the flag, a group of plundered Han people squatted on the ground numbly but excitedly digging. After more than ten minutes, the second intermittent earth wall has begun to take shape. .

Looking quietly at the silent Dongjiang Military Town from behind the military town, Huang Taiji's face showed a look of disappointment.

There's nothing we can do?

But when Huang Taiji despised Mao Jue, a burst of gunshots burst out like beans, and burst out in the front line. After the gunshots, there were several cannon roars.

The Dongjiang Ming Army is not as good as the Liaodong Ming Army! The Liaodong Army waited until the Jianzhou cavalry had reached more than 100 meters before they could not bear the pressure in their hearts and fired their firearms in advance. Now the two armies are separated by three kilometers. Can't come, do you hear me?

However, the look of contempt just rose, and the expression on Huang Taiji's face froze immediately.

A large number of screams came at the same time.

"Fat Master!"

Full of excitement, Dongjiang sentry chief, guerrilla general, regiment commander Liu Chong's brother Liu Da's bearded face, which was almost the same as his brother's, was flushed with excitement, holding the officer's revolver high and shouting. fired the gun.

Poor people must have something to hate. These coats are pitiful enough. They were looted from the Central Plains when they left their homes! But if you serve as a dog for Jian slaves and want to turn Lao Tzu into coats, then I'm sorry!The coated servant who was still squatting on the ground and digging was immediately hit by the sudden shooting, dozens of people were shot, and the rest threw their baskets and turned around and ran away in shock.

It never occurred to me that after yesterday's investigation, hundreds of Dongjiang soldiers would appear in the empty Luo village, and the beards of Mele Erzhen Guarjaturai, who was crouching behind the earthen wall, suddenly flew up in anger. With a loud roar, he rushed out with a machete in his hand, and followed him closely. Thousands of cavalrymen from the Zhenghuang Qixiao Cavalry Battalion whipped their horses, raised their ghost-headed knives obliquely, and didn't care if they trampled on the fleeing Baoyi, and went straight to the Dongjiang River. The army rushed into the formation.

Who knows, these bastards are really not good guys, they didn't fire the guns in the third wave, they yelled, turned around and fled back to the village.

Without thinking about it at all, Tulai rushed into the village straight away.

There are too many coincidences on this battlefield. On this side, Huang Taiji's messenger followed behind angrily, and on the other side, Mao Jue's herald also ran to the artillery circle panting, shouting in the voice of a male duck.

"Master Sun, the general ordered the cannon to be fired!"

"Already ready!"

She is a veteran who has been in the army for several years, and everyone else has a big shoulder and a round waist. For some reason, Sun Chun is as thin as a chicken, but it does not hinder her heroic vigor. When the flintlock was activated, there was a bang, the iron chain trembled wildly, and the shrapnel shot out like a shooting star.

In the next second, it was another salvo!

Chapter 366. Dog Skin Plaster

After Aobai, the Guarja family had another lame general.

The legs were wrapped in thick gauze, and the blood was still oozing out. While being carried back, Tulai waved the big knife in his hand and cursed loudly.

"Dongjiang barbarian, shameless villain, dare to fight Grandpa Tulai to the death!"

"Master, these thieves are cheating!"

Even if a series of rules and regulations of the Han family were introduced, but when something happened, these barbarians were beaten back to their original form. Seeing Tulai lying on the stretcher yelling, Huang Taiji couldn't even comfort him. No more, he waved his hand in disgust.

"Take it away."

But this Turai was loyal enough, and while being carried, he kept shouting at the top of his voice.

"Master, wait until the slave can walk, and I will definitely get this shame back for you! The slave will definitely come back!"

Big Big Wolf's upper body, the voice of the crippled general could still be vaguely heard from the side of the camp, and the corners of Huang Taiji's mouth couldn't help twitching, but seeing the bloody white sheet spread out in front of him, he was There is no mercy left.

A total of more than 300 riders! They are all his strong disciples of Zhenghuangqi. They are said to be a soldier with three hundred soldiers in Niulu. Huang Taiji has proclaimed himself emperor, and in the past two years, Amin and Mang Gurtai have been dealt with in the same way as the four major Baylors at the beginning, but the tribe has a strong residual gold, and power still depends on a knife. Once his two yellow flags weaken, In some cases, hungry wolves immediately jumped up and bit them.

Even the three Dorgon brothers who are standing aside respectfully and bowing their heads may be the first ones.

His face was gloomy for a long time, and Fan Wencheng knelt and kowtowed cautiously beside him.

"emperor?"

After all, he is a hero of a generation, and now he has woken up from his anger. In fact, the Qing army is most anxious now. Huang Taiji is desperate. Behind him, there are still several military forts in Dongjiang that have not been removed. It was the first time he was faced with such a serious supply problem. Once Mao Jue couldn't be defeated in a short time, he had no choice but to go back home and retreat home.

You must know that if you do not advance, you will retreat if you do not advance. This retreat may mean that the entire Qing Dynasty will start to retreat and go downhill!
