Beiyang new warlord

At the end of November, after the Dongjiang army was "separated from virtue" and the Qing army "returned from victory", Huang Taiji began to hide in the Great Wall of Liaodong, unable to avoid the battle.

Although it is not as terrifying as the village and fort in Dongjiang, the artillery fire shown in Siping City has no desire to make Huang Taiji attack, at least not now, the ice and snow have frozen the soil, and it is impossible to dig a tunnel to carry out the attack. Civil engineering came to approach the city. If the ants were attached to attack the city like in ancient times, it would be an act of courting death. Not to mention an army of 10,000+, an army of 200 million would also be blasted to slag under Mao Jue's artillery fire.

However, the Qing army is not without a chance of winning. After all, this war is on the territory of the Qing Dynasty. The Jilin land that Mao Jue invaded is the birthplace of the Jurchens. Even if most of the Jurchens have moved to Liaodong, Shenyang and Liaoyang, there are still many The old tribe stayed here nostalgic. It’s not that they haven’t done this before. When the Ming army launched a crusade, the Houjin army faced the battle head-on.

The strategy of the Qing army began to become insignificant. The army was huddled inside the Great Wall of Liaodong. Every day, a large group of guys in leather robes and thick gluten covered their faces. Penetrate to the back of Dongjiang Army.

These harassments have indeed played a lot of role.

Mao Jue's 22 troops are mainly divided into three parts. The left part is stationed in Wula, Jilin, protecting the Songhua River. This is the material transfer station for the Dongjiang River. Every day, the artillery shells, supplies, food bandages and so on are transferred from Heilongjiang to absorb Hong Chengchou learned from the Battle of Songjin that Mao Jue's defensive strength here is not light. Hegang's half corps composed of Yuan Shizhong's subordinates as the main force plus the Vladivostok Corps has a total of 5 people defending here.

Mao Jue's central army is stationed on the Hadaling line in Jilin, with its back against Hadaling, occupying Yongji, Kuanchengzi, Shuangyang, Yitong and a series of small fortresses. The most advanced front army is Kong Youde's 3 people The Acheng Corps, the entire military town is like a sharp nail, stabbing hard into the territory of the Qing Dynasty

We are all Northeast silver, you know it, I will naturally, this is the cold winter, the weather is freezing, Daming has no strength to maintain the official way, let alone the embroiderer, but here is another preparation of Mao Jue. It came in handy, the dog sledge!

Along the compacted snow track, a large string of dog-pulled sledges is running fast, each sledge is piled high with supplies, and two Dongjiang guards are sitting in front, one is holding a double-barreled flintlock gun Alert, the other is to concentrate on driving.

Between every three sledges, there is a sledge specially designed for people to sit on. The sledges are made like chariots, with guard plates like sidecars added on both sides, with seats inside, and one is in charge of driving. The latter two held Dongjiang's special double-barreled flintlock guns to defend the left and right.

Every four sledges is exactly one team.

In this era, there is no such thing as two hasamos and three idiots in Alaska, but the rural dog rhubarb dog is not far behind, occupying the vast Heilongjiang, there are many wild beasts, guarding the manor and pasture, the demand for dogs is also soaring, indirectly The Dongjiang dog breeding industry has been promoted, and there is no shortage of dogs to form a dog-pulled sledge transportation brigade. A sledge has twelve big yellow dogs, and those who run on the snow are also having fun.

However, the transportation is still extremely dangerous. Just when the long sledge team was running happily, there was a loud rumbling noise. The Dongjiang army defending the sledge immediately looked around vigilantly, and their guns were cautious. Facing in that direction.

But in the next second, even the Dongjiang army couldn't help but let out a yell of fear. They have encountered even the most ferocious enemy, but this is really not something that manpower can resist. From the side hillside, three huge Under the loud rumbling noise, the sheep rushed down with ten thousand catties of strength.

Dongjiang Baihu, who led the team, was an old soldier who retired from the battlefield. He was obviously seasoned. At such a critical juncture, he ordered loudly without hesitation: "The front team continues, don't slow down! Those behind, prepare to jump on the sledge! "

While shouting, the sheep had already rushed to the front, screaming in panic, the Dongjiang army with several sledges behind jumped off their seats and rolled into the snow, the next second, there was a loud bang, and the pressure was firm The sheep slammed into the sledge, pushed the sledge into the bushes on the other side of the road amidst the screams of the big yellow dog.

Screaming, the Jurchen with a bow in a leather robe and a coat rushed up from the top of the mountain like a beast, and the arrows swished in the direction of the sledge, and an old man with a white beard ran in the crowd. Behind him, however, he held his bow very steadily. His left eye was raised, but his right eye was wide open like a cat's eye. Seeing a Dongjiang soldier standing up from the snow, he was about to gesture with his gun anxiously. His hand let go with a whoosh.

puff~

The long arrow directly nailed the young face under the leather hat, and without even making a sound, the Dongjiang sergeant fell to the ground.

This old man is also an old soldier. He was born as a hunter when he was young. He went up the mountain to hunt roe deer and mink. Ning he has beaten them all, and his subordinates don't know how many Ming people have been shot and killed, and how many villages have been burned.

"Huh, this dog has grown a lot of courage, and it won't run away! How dare you fight back!"

Muttering in his mouth, he took the arrow again from the quiver on his back. However, before he took it out, the almost instinctive sense of crisis that he had cultivated through years of hunting suddenly emerged from his heart. on the ground.

puff~

There was a sudden explosion of gunpowder, and a blood hole exploded in the chest of the young man of the old Fucha family behind him, and he fell down on the snow in disbelief.

It is true that they were ambushed, but the Dongjiang army is not easy to mess with. The advantage of the double-barreled flintlock gun is also revealed here. You can fire two shots in a short and quick time. The Jurchens who rushed down were knocked down by this unexpected shot more than a dozen.

After all, there were a lot of people, and there was a premeditated plan. They only cut off the last sledge team. After some fighting, a small team from Dongjiang was still blood-stained on the battlefield, lying quietly in the white snow, and the old Nuzhen was also panting violently , looking at the Dongjiang Baihu sitting behind the overturned sledge, dying with regret.

In the end, this hundred households still missed a move and died under his own throwing knife, but he also paid a sufficient price. One shoulder was bloody and bloody from the shotgun filled with iron sand, and his right arm might not be able to draw a bow for a while. up.

And this took four sledges, and more than 20 people died on my own side. A third of the men in a village have confessed here. It seems that there is no joy at all, full of exhaustion, and the old woman is really sitting on her buttocks. on the ground.

"Turn it over, do you have any food and cotton padded jacket?"

"This, what is this!!!"

The heavy sledge was turned over, but there were no supplies I wanted. Instead, what caught my eye was a large pile of gray things. The bottom was two or three meters long steel bars, and there were bags on top of which I didn’t know what they were. One bag, a young man took a sip confidently, but immediately spit it out with a grin.

"Old ancestor, it's all dirt!"

"what!"

More than 20 lives were exchanged for a few sledge soil. For a while, the old woman almost fainted.

Dongjiang's cement is naturally useless and thrown aside, but those steel bars are picked up unwillingly, and they walk back on their backs. After all, they are iron guys, and the sharpened section can also be used as a spear. There is also Dongjiang The muskets of the Dongjiang army, but after a fierce battle, there is not much ammunition or gunpowder left, which is better than nothing. The biggest gain seems to be only a few cotton armors on the Dongjiang army and the remaining half pack of cigarettes. The bag of wine is gone.

With these things in hand, a group of people climbed up Hada Ridge in a daze. Since the arrival of the Dongjiang Army, many Maiden tribes have fled to the East Hunting Camp on the mountain.

After all, it was Jiang who was still old and hot. As he was walking, suddenly, the old woman raised her hand suddenly, stopped the team, and immediately sniffled violently.

"There are fireworks, no!"

Dongjiang's revenge came so quickly and viciously! Full of horror, a group of people climbed up a nearby small cliff and looked down. Their village was completely engulfed in a sea of ​​flames, and the forest at the head of the village was also destroyed. It became a execution ground, and the Jurchens arrested from the village were put on a hanging rope around their necks and hanged directly on the tree, men, women, old and young, without exception.

In this era, there is no such thing as war and civilians are innocent. Moreover, even if Mao Jue attacked, the war was instigated by the Jianzhou Jurchens in the final analysis. There were at least 150 million to 200 million Liao people, and Jinan was captured. There were 17 corpses floating in the city, and the stench was suffocating. In short, when dealing with them, Mao Jue also had no mercy.

This is a battle for survival between two regimes, or even two civilizations. Whichever side fails to do this well, it must be the one that falls!

"Aying!"

Looking at this scene in disbelief, unable to bear the blow, a Jurchen young man lost control and dropped his things, turned around and ran down the mountain, shouting mournfully while running, but before he ran down the mountainside, the swishing arrow was equally fierce The same shot hit the door, and the same turned over and fell to the ground. In the scared eyes of the old woman, he saw something familiar.

Taking another arrow from his back, Ye Ertai, the leader of the Sumu tribe who had already integrated into Dongjiang, tilted his head full of murderous intent.

"This litter of foxes is finally home! Skinned them!"

Chapter 487. Spring is not warm

The Dongjiang war has spent these cold months in repeated seesaws.

Huang Taiji kept sending people to infiltrate, organizing the Jurchen tribes in the Dongjiang occupied area, and even some clothed Han people to rebel. Mao Jue was unambiguous. Yun Guo: Repay grievances with virtue, how can you repay virtue?Repay grievances with honesty! Repay virtue with kindness! There are countless dirty things you did in the Central Plains, why can't I do them.

However, the Jurchens are not Han people in the Central Plains after all. The Han people have a huge population base. The entire Qing Dynasty plus the newly conquered Liaoxi Corridor has less than 300 million people. With a population of more than [-], the local population suffered a complete catastrophe under this repeated see-saw, because the shocking number of executions for rebellion reached tens of thousands, and the number of corpses was so large that it was between Kuanchengzi and Hadaling. In the jungle, there are frozen corpses hanging everywhere.

Later, regardless of whether you followed the rebel or not, Dongjiang’s crusade brigade just attacked, all villages were burned, and those who dared to resist were hanged, and the rest were driven to Heilongjiang in the north. How many people do you know, just like the disaster victims when they migrated from inside the pass to outside the pass, there are fallen corpses everywhere on both sides of the road.

Which time Jiannu returned from looting in the pass was not such a scene?The Dongjiang army, who had already decided to fight a tooth for a tooth, was as hard as iron, and showed no mercy at all.

After such a toss, at the beginning of spring, from the Daxingan Mountains in the west to the Yalu River in the east, about the range of Jilin Province in later generations, the Qing Dynasty suffered a devastating blow, except for some villages hidden in deep mountains and old forests. In addition to the strategic value, the entire Jilin Vice-Capital Mansion was burned to the ground, the population was plundered and sent to Heilongjiang as slaves, down to tens of thousands of people hiding in the deep mountains and old forests, and the entire battlefield was almost left with the Dongjiang Army itself. 10,000+ army.

It can be said that even if Huang Taiji won this battle, Qing would also lose, and the social productivity before the war would not be restored within more than ten years.

But all of this, Huang Taiji can only watch helplessly. Chongzhen has entered the peak of this little ice age since 15 years ago. Even he dare not order the Qing army to attack in the ice and snow despite the bad weather. With artillery and ice protection, the Dongjiang army camp could only use cavalry on a large scale to launch a surprise attack on Mao Jue's flank.

It's just that even if the ice and snow melted in March, there was no hope for the Qing army.

"how can that be!"

Once again leading the army out of the Great Wall of Liaodong, looking north with a binoculars, Huang Taiji's brows immediately tightened.

Indeed, the ice has melted and melted. Although Liaodong is still quite cold at this time, the remaining snow has melted, exposing the ground, and even the corpses that have been left outside for a winter are dripping with drops of water. Just behind the half-melted ruins, the once-familiar low and dilapidated figure of Hada City has completely disappeared, replaced by a leaden gray new city, with a stone-like wall as high as six or seven meters, densely packed with shooting crenels , the dark red cannon looked down with murderous intent, in front of the city wall, there were still some people who could not notice it without paying attention, and only then did they reveal the dark fort less than half a meter above the ground.

Don't look at this thing as inconspicuous, during the Battle of Dongjiang, Huang Taiji had already suffered from this thing!Bows and arrows can't come in from outside, the Dongjiang soldiers inside can just hide and shoot black guns, and there is a secret passage under this thing that leads directly to the wall behind, even if you throw burning coals into it, the people inside can still run, you still catch it If you don't, you will be mad at yourself.
