Chapter 299
Take advantage of his illness and kill him.
When Jiannu's defeated troops ran out of the trench defense holes, the Ning Navy's artillery, rocket launchers, thunder cannons, and hundreds of various artillery pieces roared together.
All kinds of artillery fired shells at the fastest speed. The shells seemed like pouring rain, hitting the Jiannu's position that had long been beyond recognition, blowing up the fleeing Jiannu soldiers in pieces.
Along with the artillery, a large number of grenades were also thrown at the fleeing Jiannu. A large ball of fire spurted out from Jiannu's position, which was spectacular.
Of course, not all of the Yejian slaves escaped. There were about five or six hundred red flag elites who were loyal to Yue Tuo. They advanced instead of retreating, trying to stop Ning Haijun's pursuit of Yue Tuo.
These elite soldiers in red armor seemed like balls of red flames, rushing towards the pursuing Ning Navy officers like a tide. These red pendulums used recurve bows to shoot at the rushing Ning Navy officers. .
"咻咻咻咻..."
Due to the close distance, these Jiannu were the best shot among a hundred. Although the armor of Ning Haijun was strong, the problem was that almost all of them shot at the face of Ning Haijun.
For a while, officers and soldiers of the Ning Navy kept having people hit by arrows and falling to the ground, but no one paid attention. Those who fell fell down, and those who didn't fell continued to rush forward! Ning's navy officers all wore heavy breastplates. If they fell to the ground after being hit by an arrow, they would most likely be hopeless. Although such injuries were fatal. However, don’t worry, everyone, just keep moving forward.
After seeing Jian Nu specifically shooting arrows in the face, Ning Haijun rushed forward with his head lowered and getting hit by an arrow in the face or neck. This is a small probability. You can't control this even if you want to. Whether you can survive depends entirely on your character... So what's there to hesitate about? Just keep rushing!
Cheng Shijie saw very clearly that these hundreds of Jiannu slaves frantically blocked the attack of Ning Haijun's officers, and Ning Haijun's officers continued to fall down with arrows. But the problem was that they did not stop the wave of Ning Haijun's attack. A mere five or six hundred people trying to stop the attack of eight or nine thousand people was no more than a sand dam blocking the flood.
It is estimated that these Jiannu also knew this very well. Facing the whirlwind of Ning Haijun's army, they were already in despair. In the desperate blockade, Ning Haijun's supporting firepower also followed up.
"Bang bang bang bang..."
As the thunderbolts fired at these Jiannu red pendulums, large clouds of blood mist exploded on the bodies of these Jiannu elites who were blocking the attack. They screamed, hissed, and collapsed. The entire front line of Jiannu was almost wiped out. Sweep away.
Three red-armored soldiers who built slaves formed a fighting group back to back in the trench. They were very powerful. They killed and wounded several Ning navy soldiers in hand-to-hand combat. At this moment, a ball of fire suddenly appeared under their feet. It was a flammable missile. Grenades exploded around them.
The three red-armored soldiers were quickly ignited and turned into burning men. They let out heart-piercing wails, jumped out of the trench and rolled on the ground, making no sound like human beings.
A Ning Navy soldier subconsciously pointed his gun at these burning people. Just as he was about to pull the trigger, he heard the roar of a veteran covering his waist: "Don't fire, let them burn! They deserve it!"
This Ning Navy soldier was stabbed once in the fight and suffered severe injuries to his abdomen.
The soldiers of Ning Navy ignored this burning man and continued to chase along the trenches of Jiannu. There were not many people in the trenches of Jiannu. Facing the Ning Haijun who jumped into the trenches one after another, these pitifully few soldiers of Jiannu Panicked, scurrying around like headless flies.
Naturally, Ning Haijun's soldiers would not be polite to them. They wanted to fight. However, Ning Haijun's soldiers, who had revolvers, shot every one they saw, even the injured ones!
Ning Haijun's artillery was like a god of death. It bombarded wherever there were a large number of slaves. There were screams wherever they went. The screams of the slaves resounded throughout the battlefield!
There is no suspense in this battle.
Shen Mingyu walked towards Cheng Shijie with a relaxed expression and said, "Commander, we won."
Cheng Shijie looked at the soldier Ning Haijun who fell on the ground, his eyes losing luster, and sighed: "This reminds us that our army equipment is lagging behind! In the face of a new form of war environment, the troops need There is still a lot to learn!”
Jiannu has only learned the trench tactics of the Ning Navy, and their biggest problem is a serious shortage of artillery. If the Ning Navy is allowed to defend such a large area, the artillery strike intensity will be at least three to four times greater. Of course, the more critical thing is that Ning Haijun will concentrate its superior artillery at the first opportunity to knock out the Fire Bulldozer.
However, although this steam engine-type bulldozer is not very powerful and the control is a bit clumsy, having a fire bull bulldozer will certainly make it much more convenient for Ning Haijun to build trenches.
Naturally, Yue Tuo had no chance to hear Cheng Shijie's words. If he heard Cheng Shijie's words and thought that the Ning Navy and Army's firepower attack density was not enough, he would definitely cry like a dog.
Under the artillery attack of Ning Haijun, Jiannu suffered heavy losses. Under the thunder of artillery, the defense line that Jiannu thought was indestructible collapsed in an instant. The Ning Haijun army rushed over the collapsed defense line like a tide and started killing everywhere. Large swaths of powerful warriors rushed over quickly, and there were loud killing sounds everywhere. They had no way to escape.
Some Jian slaves stood firm in the trenches and resisted desperately, causing a certain amount of damage to Ning Haijun. However, Ning Haijun did not make it easy for them. Grenades smashed into the trenches like hail, and then they jumped into the trenches with long guns or engineer shovels to follow the Jian slaves. Fight hand-to-hand, use spears to pin them in the trenches, or use engineer shovels to split their bodies open, or even chop off their heads!
As for those who escaped...
No matter how fast they are, can they still be faster than artillery? They are finished under Yue Tuo's command, completely finished!
The battle at Longgang Mountain ended quickly.
The Jiannu of Twelve Niulu, plus the more than 1,500 troops of the Mongolian and Han banners, totaled more than 5,000 troops. If it had been four years before Chongzhen, these more than 5,000 troops could have rampaged around tens of thousands of Ming troops. . If before the Battle of Bali Bay, they dared to attack the defense line of tens of thousands of troops.
However, with the current Jiannu's complete fortifications and the cooperation of more than 20 artillery pieces, it is said that it would be very difficult for Ning Haijun to destroy them.
In fact, Shen Mingyu attacked three times, but all failed. If it hadn't been for the appearance of the Fire Bulldozer, which allowed them to quickly fill in the trenches of Jiannu, the losses in this battle would have been even heavier.
Shen Mingyu surrounded the three Fire Bull bulldozers, looking up, down, left, and right. He looked at Cheng Shijie and said, "Commander, this thing is so useful!"
“Naturally easy to use!”
Cheng Shijie knew that in this battle, the Fire Bull Bulldozer actually served as part of the armor. This kind of iron guy that could not be hit or penetrated made Jiannu very desperate.
Shen Mingyu continued: "Commander, our troops must be equipped with this kind of fire ox cart!"
“Do you know how expensive this fire ox cart is?”
"How expensive?"
"More than four thousand taels of silver!"
"Ah... so expensive?"
"The technology is not mature yet, there are still many problems, and the power is too small and it runs slowly!"
"That's also needed, we..."
Shen Mingyu told Cheng Shijie his idea. He hoped that every president would keep at least one such fire ox cart. Once they encountered Jiannu digging trenches or defending the city, they could use this fire ox cart. Che, let Jian Nu have a taste of what it means to risk one's life.
The issues that Cheng Shijie considered were different from those that Shen Mingyu considered. Even if each commander was equipped with one fire ox cart, the entire Ning Navy would need to equip about two to three hundred vehicles.
Now that Ning Haijun is too big, it is not cost-effective to equip immature equipment on a large scale. After thinking about it, Cheng Shijie decided to set up an experimental team to test the new equipment of the army.
…
Shenyang, Royal Palace.
When Huang Taiji received more than 5,000 troops under Yue Tuo's command, only more than 300 troops escaped, and almost everyone was injured. However, his reaction was surprisingly calm. He asked Yue Tuo Ning carefully about the navy's attack on Longgang camp. The passage of the defense line.
After comforting Yue Tuo, Huang Taiji looked at the gray sky and was speechless for a long time.
Fan Wencheng said: "King Khan, victory or defeat is a common matter for military strategists..."
Before Fan Wencheng finished speaking, Huang Taiji smiled bitterly and said: "The Ning Navy is getting stronger and stronger. They defeated our elite Eight Banners of the Jin Dynasty in the wild battle, and later defeated Zheng Zhilong and the Zheng fleet at sea. I heard that they are still After defeating the Western Yi, the Ning Navy has considerable combat power, both on land and at sea, and the situation in Liaodong is getting more and more serious!"
Fan Wencheng also advised Huang Taiji not to be depressed, they still have a chance.
However, Huang Taiji paused for a moment and continued: "It's getting more and more serious. Fan Qing, I have an ominous premonition. Within one or two years at most, a shocking reversal will occur in Liaodong, and the collapse of the Great Jin Kingdom will happen." Starting from Liaodong..."
Fan Wencheng was shocked and said: "No way? King Khan, are you worrying too much? I admit that Ning Haijun's strength is increasing now, but they can only gain some advantages in local battlefields. We in the Kingdom of Jin The cavalry advantage still exists. Even if we can’t break through their crossbow array and we can’t defeat them, how could they completely collapse the Great Jin Kingdom? How is this possible?”
"I'm not sure either. Anyway, I have this hunch... I hope my hunch is wrong."
Huang Taiji thought that he could retaliate in his own way. In fact, they used trench and fortress tactics to cause less than a thousand casualties to Ning Haijun. In the battle of Longgang Mountain, Ning Haijun still achieved an impressive record. Fully one to five.
"King Khan, please don't think like this, we still have a chance!"
"How is it possible that there is still a chance?"
"Although it is difficult, we still have a chance!"
Fan Wencheng smiled lightly and said: "There is an old saying in the Ming Dynasty, great power will shock the master, but the big tail will not fall off!"
"The master is so powerful that he can't lose his big tail?"
Huang Taiji looked sad and worried.
"The Ming Dynasty has a long tradition of using civil servants to control military forces. Those civil servants will not allow Cheng Shijie to lose his tail. Now that Ning Haijun has become a climate, those ministers may have begun to plan how to dismember Ning Haijun!"
To be fair, Fan Wencheng was right. Almost all civil servants wanted to dismember Ning Haijun. They had many civil and military methods, such as dividing and drawing together.
In addition to Cheng Shijie, there are also several hilltops within Ning Haijun. In terms of the ancestral origins of the personnel, Ning Haijun is basically dominated by the Shandong Gang, Dongjiang Gang, Henan Gang, Shaanxi and Shandong Gang. The origins of Ning Haijun’s soldiers are It mainly comes from Shandong, Liaodong, Shaanxi, Shanxi and Henan.
But the problem is that none of these places form an absolute mountain. Take Shen Mingyu as an example. According to his ancestral home, Shen Mingyu is from Guide Prefecture, Henan Province. He should belong to the Henan Gang. In fact, he is The Shandong Gang, the leader of the Dengzhou Guard.
Including Chang Yu from Shandong, as well as Zhou An, Zhou Yandong, Chen Dayong, etc., the entire Shandong Gang is considered to be the largest force in Ning Haijun. However, with Ning Haijun annexing the Dongjiang Army, the Dongjiang Army is now the largest in terms of numbers.
After Ning Haijun annexed the Zheng Group, the Fujianese actually became the largest faction in the military. The Zheng Group's surrendered troops tried to twist the Zheng Group's navy and army into one.
The court's civil servant group tried to win over Dongjiang Army generals such as Li Zhixiang, Shen Shikui, Chen Shikui, but it was a pity that they were unwilling to betray Cheng Shijie.
"Counting on them... I'm afraid we have to wait for who knows how many years!"
Huang Taiji sighed.
Fan Wencheng shook his head and said: "Then let's add fuel to their fire. Now Mongolia has completely surrendered to our Kingdom of Jin. We can't defeat the Ning Navy in Liaodong, so let's switch sides!"
"You mean..."
"Let's go to Ningxia!"
Fan Wencheng said: "The Yellow River is full of dangers, but only one group is profitable! We can develop Ningxia. Now Guanzhong has been destroyed by rogue bandits. As long as we gain a foothold in the Hetao area, we can lead the horse south and occupy Guanzhong!"
Huang Taiji is also someone who has read history books. He knows that what Fan Wencheng said has a certain truth. Back then, the Tang Dynasty occupied the world and now Liaodong is blocked by the Ning Navy. Moreover, the Ning Navy has a powerful navy and they want to develop in Liaodong. It's really difficult. The entire Liaodong Bay is covered by Ning Haijun's sphere of influence.
Moreover, the most prosperous areas in Liaodong are all in the coastal areas, and their Jiannu have no ability to break the blockade of Ning Haijun.
Huang Taiji looked at Fan Wencheng and said, "But our Kingdom of Jin lacks enough talents!"
"Talent solutions can be a good solution!"
Fan Wencheng said with a smile: "Nowadays, the people in Shaanxi and Ningxia during the Ming Dynasty are very poor. They are short of food and funds. I have carefully studied the rise of Cheng Shijie. He just led a group of mud-legged people to farm in Liaodong. The people are too poor. There is no money to build farm tools, and there is no money to improve water conservancy and repair ditches. As long as you have money, you can recruit refugees from Daming and develop the Hetao area. As long as you pass through the Hetao, in just a few years, you can turn the Hetao into another Liaodong!"
Listening to Fan Wencheng's words, Huang Taiji became excited: "Fan Qing, I leave this matter to you. I don't have much else, but I have a lot of silver. I will give you five hundred thousand taels of silver and another ten thousand heads." ox!"
"Don't worry, King Khan, I will definitely take care of this!"
After Fan Wencheng discussed with Huang Taiji, Huang Taiji asked Fan Wencheng to prepare 500,000 taels of silver, more than 10,000 cattle, and 48 cattlemen drawn from the elites of the Eight Banners, and began to march westward to Hetao.
Of course, the Murong Tribe of the Xianbei Tribe, because Murong Shegui’s eldest son Murong Tuyuhun was at odds with his eldest son Murong Xi, Murong Tuyuhun took the initiative to move west to Mongolia with 1,700 households in order to avoid Murong Xianbei’s split. After development, it formed a Tuyuhun country.
Huang Taiji asked Hauge and Fan Wencheng to move westward for the same purpose.
If you can’t afford to fight, can you still afford to hide?
After Fan Wencheng moved west, Huang Taiji sent his nephew Yue Tuo to Liaodong to meet with Cheng Shijie and conclude a peace treaty. According to Fan Wencheng's analysis, Cheng Shijie's life was actually not easy, and the court would definitely not sit back and watch. If the navy is the only one that is powerful, it will eventually be unable to lose its power.
According to Cheng Shijie's strength, if he wanted to attack Shenyang, it would not be difficult. In fact, Cheng Shijie had every chance to capture Shenyang.
The reason why Cheng Shijie did not take the initiative to launch an attack on the Kingdom of Jin was probably not to support the self-respect of the invaders.
Huang Taiji actually guessed wrong on this point. Cheng Shijie really had no intention of supporting the bandits and respecting himself. His most fundamental idea was to completely eliminate Luzon and develop agriculture in Luzon.
At first, the war of clearing Luzon's indigenous people went smoothly. However, recently, Luzon has also been in trouble. Spain does not want to happily admit the consequences of losing Luzon, but their Spanish empire is stuck in the quagmire of the Thirty Years' War in Europe. Inextricable.
In this case, they decided to fight a proxy war with Ning Haijun in Luzon. As this agent, they chose a tenacious and crazy little warrior.
As the shogunate closed the country, the living conditions of the samurai became worse and worse. In particular, a large number of samurai went bankrupt and became ronin. In order to survive, ronin only had to have breasts and be a mother.
The Spanish took advantage of the opportunity of trade with Xiaori to recruit a large number of ronin from the Xiaori Kingdom to form an army. After training, they were deployed in the Luzon War.
These little ones can be much more powerful than the natives of Luzon, especially after they penetrate deep into the tropical rainforest of Luzon, they are as nimble as monkeys. From time to time, they attack the logistics supply lines of the Ning Navy troops stationed in Luzon. The logistics supply lines of the Ning Navy troops in Luzon When something went wrong, Liu Qingsong was quickly alerted.
