Beiyang new warlord

Roaring anxiously, Sun Chuanting hurried up the city wall.

In fact, the city of Mao Jue was built very unscientifically. The north city wall of Ula City in Jilin directly cuts the river bank, which is almost the position of the thermal power plant in later generations. With the river bank, the height of the city wall is more than ten meters. It is the only two entrances from Jiangbei to Jiangnan. There are only two railway bridges in and out, and the city wall is as defensive as a cliff.

Although the defensive strength is considered to be the limit, the ground by the river is soft, and after a long time, the river water will erode and the ground will sink, and the city wall is in danger of collapsing.

But that's something for later, let's keep it in front of our eyes. At first, we were slightly critical of Mao Jue's plan to build the city, but after knowing his strategic value, Sun Chuanting was very grateful to Mao Jue. The most worrying thing was that he finally came. , These days, I have been worrying about the upcoming war, and I have to force myself to calm down if I have to settle accounts and order goods, but when I really stand on the top of the wall, Sun Chuanting calms down instead.

Picking up the binoculars and looking towards the sky, more than a dozen puffs of black smoke are rushing towards Jilin Ula City. Those are Dongjiang patrol cavalry. He is the most brave Dongjiang warrior. Even with thousands of troops, he still ignites The smoke of the wolf sent a warning to Jilin Ula City.

Right behind them, black cavalry covered the sky and covered the sky, and the billowing smoke and dust were like a devil with teeth and claws. From such a distance, Sun Chuanting could even feel the shocking vibration of the horse's hooves.

"It's the Mongols!"

Some people are born to appear on the battlefield. Putting down the binoculars, it seems that they have found the state when they challenged the king of the world's refugees and Chuang Wang Gao Yingxiang. Dabao ordered.

"Light up the flames of the east and west beacon towers! Send the military information to the south, and immediately send out cavalry sniper soldiers to welcome back the patrolling knights!"

Sometimes, a message on the battlefield is even worth more than thousands of troops, just like during World War II, General Patton, who used a fake body to deceive German spies, successfully landed in Normandy, opened up a second battlefield, and accelerated the revolution of the Communist Party. The same is true at this time, if it is attacked by Mongolian cavalry to the bottom of the city, it will be enough for the Dongjiang army to panic for a while!

If it were in a TV series, then it would be a classic scene. The exhausted warriors ran back to the city at the risk of their lives. However, for the safety of the city, the guards dared not open the door. Then they shouted Long live Dongjiang and rushed into the enemy's line to die together. .

But fighting is not acting after all. Dongjiang cherishes every warrior and every drop of blood. When it was a few miles away from the city, the same shocking sound of horseshoes was also shocked at the gate of Jilin Ula City. The same vigorous Dongjiang knight galloped After crossing the railway bridge, facing the overwhelming Mongolian army, they bumped directly into it.

After all, Mongolia is not the Mongolia of Genghis Khan's era. Seeing this scene, Jierhalang yelled and continued to attack, but subconsciously, the forward Atakin reined in the horse, and the entire forward cavalry stopped. The Dongjiang knights had gathered these exhausted cavalry patrols, and threw the wolf smoke on the ground, and the cavalry in the front row didn't know what they threw on the ground.

Just now, he wanted to take his bow to fight, but he didn't expect the Dongjiang cavalry, who was aggressive and desperate, turned around and fled. Feeling that his IQ was insulted, Atakin lashed his horsewhip angrily.

"Chase! Don't let the Han dog go!"

The distance was only 300 meters away, and the outraged Tumet cavalry arrived in a blink of an eye, but immediately fell to the ground as if they had been hit by a trap card, and there were bursts of crackling explosions one after another.

Caltrops, it is said that Genghis Khan stepped on this thing when his war horse stepped on it. The container is Mao Jue. I don’t know how the old Taoist Xuankong and the liar Song Xiance fiddled with the white phosphorus that pretends to be a ghost. The horse’s hoof tramples on the white phosphorus, and when it encounters oxygen, it burns and ignites the gunpowder. Scattered dozens of caltrops.

Although the lethality is not great, and no one can be killed by the explosion, it is enough for a large group of cavalry to turn their backs on their backs for a while. Amid the shouts of Atta Jinbei, the Mongolian cavalry who turned on their backs could only watch the ducks fly away.

Since the cavalry turned around, Sun Chuanting's attention was no longer on them. With the natural danger of the Songhua River, the threat of this horse-loving man to Jilin Ula is almost zero. Soon after it was ignited, the second and third smoke rose straight into the sky.

The climax of the whole battle was also sung along with the crackling fire!

Chapter 497. Mount Tai pressing eggs?

Every war between the Ming Dynasty and the Jianzhou Jurchen is a bit like a battle between car glass and a hammer. In terms of quality, the car glass is undoubtedly much larger than the hammer. If it hits the center, there will be at most one crack in the flexible glass, and it will not break through. If the hand holding the hammer is suffocated, the hammer will naturally lose. However, Hou Jin's hammer can always hit the weakest point on this large piece of glass.

The Juniper Department in the Saerhu War, Kaiyuan Tieling in the Kaitie Battle, and Tashan where food was stored in the Songjin War, this time Huang Taiji also put all his eggs in one basket.

If Mao Jue faced Gang on the frontal battlefield, the Qing army was not the opponent of the Dongjiang soldiers of the firearms army like the bulls. Maybe the tug-of-war could go on for three or four years, but the Qing country would definitely fall. The advantage of the Eight Banners ironware lies in its mobility , mobility, leaving Kaiyuan City entangled with Mao Jue, Huang Taiji mobilized almost all the cavalry of the Qing army, went out of the Liaodong side wall and turned towards Mongolia, and then turned north after rushing for fifty miles. Starting point, Jilin Ula City!

It is exactly the same as the strategy of fighting Hong Chengchou during the Songjin War. Since you choose to go forward with all your strength and attack with great fanfare, your rear must be weak! Then I will cut off your food supply! Without food, Zhao Jun in the Battle of Changping 40 Everything was lost in one battle! It is estimated that the Dongjiang army, which relies heavily on logistics, will be even more miserable. It will starve Mao Jue's troops to the south of the Songhua River. In less than half a month, it will be time for the Qing Dynasty to blow the horn of counterattack.

Of course, the idea is very good, but the premise is to capture Ula City in Jilin!

This Jilin Ula is far from being comparable to Hong Chengchou's Tashan City.

The meeting time was agreed with the Mongolian cavalry, and within two hours after the Mongolian soldiers appeared in Sun Chuanting's field of vision in the north, the Eight Banners and Dragon Banners with their teeth and claws also appeared in the southern plain of Ula City, Jilin. Not a single cavalry can be dispatched, plus the Mongolian Eight Banners, the Han Eight Banners, and the coated slaves, there are almost 9 Qing troops, and as many as 15 Mongolian troops have converged. Get up, stand on the city wall and look down, looking around, almost all of them are enemy cavalry of the Qing army.

Overwhelming.It's a coincidence that when Lin Danhan came to Nurhachi, he said that there were 3 people in Binshui, and now Sun Chuanting happened to be surrounded by [-] people.

But this strategic goal was achieved, and when Dongjiang's central supply, the vigorous beating heart, was in sight, Huang Taiji couldn't be happy.

He wiped his eyes in disbelief, and it turns out that Siping Hada City is not the only one that has become unfamiliar!

The lead-gray concrete-covered brick city wall squeezed the low and dilapidated Ula city wall somewhere, and although Mao Jue hadn't studied ancient offensive and defensive warfare specifically, he had watched the movie, the main city of human beings in the final battle of "The Lord of the Rings". Let him copy it here on a small scale. The city wall is no longer a single wall, but divided into three layers like a pyramid, one for three meters, one for five meters, and the top layer should be seven meters. Once such a city wall faces an attack, It is three layers that bounce together, and the first layer is captured, and there are two more layers to be hit. It feels like the summer wind finally blowing up the skirt, full of hope but seeing a layer of leggings.

That's not to mention, a trench several meters wide surrounds the city, and the dam that is still holding back is filled with water from the Songhua River. There are three round bunkers directly opposite the southern city wall. Huang Taiji's nightmare reappeared again, and a series of three-dimensional defenses made the Mingjun, a rare hero among the ethnic minorities in Northeast China, unable to help but sigh to the sky.

"Where did this barbarian get so much manpower and material resources to build so many cities! Does the sky have no eyes?"

He vomited blood in a bit of anger, Huang Taiji yelled sadly, a Siping Hada would be fine! Here comes another stone fortress stronger than Kaiyuan City, even if he is as powerful as he is, he has the thought of hitting his head against the wall .

But no matter how sad and angry, this siege battle still has to be fought! And it has to be fought quickly. The Qing army and Dongjiang are now racing against time. First cut down Jilin Ula, and the Qing will win. Even if the entire army is not wiped out like Hong Chengchou, he Mao Jue I have to go back in embarrassment, and my prestige is swept away.

But if he couldn’t eat it, Dongjiang realized that this huge plain in Ula, Jilin, would be the cemetery of the Eight Banners!

Arriving at Ula City in Jilin at about noon, the lunch was full of dried grains. In the afternoon, the Qing army had already assumed the posture of attacking the city with all its strength.

The city wall on the north side of the Songhua River is a natural danger. I can't even think about it. A pontoon bridge was also built on the Songhua River. A large group of Mongolian cavalry crossed the river and joined Huang Taiji. In Longtan Mountain, Beishan, near Ula City, Jilin, there is an Eight-Life Chou who wields an ax and slashes desperately. The uncut logs are directly tied into fences with ropes and pushed to the front of the formation.

This Huang Taiji has not forgotten to give courtesy first and then soldiers. When building siege equipment, it can be regarded as the famous Han Chen Ning Wan in the early Qing Dynasty who rode a horse alone.

"This envoy is the former Minister of State Council of the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty! You and the old Ming have been surrounded by our army, and you are in danger of being overwhelmed! This official is here to save your lives, open the door quickly!"

To be honest, now that Yuan Dabao is standing on the top of the wall, his eyes are a little dizzy. A few days ago, he thought that Sun Chuanting's words that he was afraid that he would not have the strength to cut them down were just a joke, but now it seems that this thing has really come true that's it.

The saliva almost didn't flow out. When the Dongjiang soldiers and horses around them were nervous, they heard their generals shaking their heads and sighing in disbelief.

"How many 30 taels are here! Send it! Send it!"

A few generals nearby almost bit their tongues, and when they went back, they angrily reprimanded their subordinates. Unknowingly, the tense atmosphere of being surrounded eased a lot.

At this time, a thirty-two man with braids ran to his city gate and shouted, his eyes glowed with gold. Yuan Dabao took a rifled flintlock directly, aiming at it, and pointing it at the same time. He ordered by his side.

"Prepare a fast horse at the city gate! I'm going to bring back the 30 taels later!"

Who knew this skill, the tail of the gun was suddenly pressed hard by someone, and with a bang, the muzzle of the gun burst straight into the sky. Ning Wan, who was still calling for the door, couldn't help being shocked, and Yuan Dabao was also out of breath. , I wanted to scold when I turned around, but when the swear words came to my lips, I stopped them again.

"Mr. Jun, you are here! Do you want these 30 taels?"

In the afternoon, Sun Chuanting went to the back to search for supplies, and now he rushed to the front of the city wall. After all, he is a literati, and the two armies are at war, so it is the rule not to beheaded!

But Sun Chuanting is not stupid, this Ning Wan I come here, one is to persuade to surrender, and the other is to find out the real situation in the city, he will let him in, and directly tilt his head at the soldiers behind him.

"Open the city gate and send these boxes to the Jian dog."

Amidst the creaking sound, the iron-clad city gate opened, and the suspension bridge was lowered under the comfort of the iron chains. I wanted to go in like a rascal with a horse belly. I pushed him out, and immediately put those boxes on the ground.

"These are given to you by my military master, get lost!"

Inexplicably, there were a few more crude cargo boxes made of wooden strips. Watching those Dongjiang infantry pull up the suspension bridge again and lock the city gate, Ning Wan, who couldn't find out, I took the box back in wonder.

"What are these things?"

"It seems that Dongjiang produces canned food, their military rations! There is also smoke!"

Gifts given by military commanders often have unique political meanings. The famous one is Zhuge Liang who gave Sima Yi women's clothes, mocked him for being a woman who dared not fight, and wanted to force him to fight. Dude, he put on the women's clothing without paying attention, and showed it to his generals, Zhuge Liang's aggressive method also failed.

Compared with several Dongjiang generals, Sun Chuanting is undoubtedly not well-known, but he is probably not incompetent to be appointed by Mao Jue to guard this important town. Pry it open, holding a bamboo jar, the son of Daishan, Zhangjing Sahalian who is Zhenghongqi said in astonishment.

"Oh, rations! Open!"
