"After this battle, we must reform the guard system so that all officers and soldiers in the world belong to the state, and there will no longer be private soldiers. At that time, we need to call on a group of conscious and loyal border town generals to take the initiative to accept the reform and reorganization. Mangui, Zhao Since these three people, Led Jiao and Cao Wenzhao, are now willing to fight for the country like the imperial army, then give them a chance to set an example for the reform of the frontier army in the future!"
As Zhu Youxiao spoke, he said to Xiong Tingbi: "Form the three of them into an army first and call it the Huben Army. Among them, Zhao Lijiao is a martial arts scholar in the 19th year of Wanli. He has the most seniority and he will be the chief instructor. Officer, followed by Mangui, he will be appointed as the commander-in-chief. Cao Wenzhao will still serve as a guerrilla for the time being. If he has merit, he will be directly promoted to deputy commander-in-chief! He will be ordered to follow Sun Chuanting out of the customs immediately. "
"yes!"
Xiong Tingbi replied.
So, next, the first batch of Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers who left Fushun Pass increased from the original 100,000 troops to 120,000.
These 120,000 soldiers and horses were led by Sun Chuanting and marched directly to Hetuala.
Under the arrangement of Xiong Tingbi, the more than 300,000 host and guest border troops who were still in Fushun Pass were preparing to go to Qingyuan, Jiefanzhai, Crow Falcon Pass and Xinbin respectively, encircling them from the four directions of southeast, northwest and northwest. , set up camp and advance step by step.
The generals Ma, You, Ma, He, Du, and Qin led their respective disciples and servants to bear the main force of the joint attack.
Zhu Youxiao led Qin Liangyu's 3,000 white-armed soldiers, the Imperial Guard Battalion and 500 Jinyi Guards Cavalry, and also came to Saarhu when more than 300,000 border troops were on the move.
Yuan Keli and Xiong Tingbi accompanied them.
Mangui, Zhao Lijiao, and Cao Wenzhao were fortunate enough to follow the guards and brave guards led by Sun Chuanting at the forefront. Now, they have arrived at Ma'erdun Village.
Although they assume the role of pioneer, their speed is not fast.
The reason for the displeasure was not only that Sun Chuanting was cautious in using troops, but also that the Ming Guards and Brave Guards had a high infantry artillery equipment rate.
There are tens of thousands of artillery pieces of various types including rifled cannons and smoothbore mortar cannons.
Although Ming Dynasty's current artillery carts already have shock-absorbing systems and the wheels are made of plasticized rubber, it still takes a long time to carry so many artillery pieces.
Therefore, Manguidu had no choice but to say, "Damn it, the border troops, the Guards and the Brave Guards are to be responsible for the main attack. I can see that they are the ones who came to plow the court. There are so many The artillery fires in turn, and even a hundred thousand Donglu can be plowed into pulp."
"Otherwise, what do you think we did with all the taxes we paid during our duties at the West Factory? All of them turned into these artillery pieces!"
"The General Administration of Ordnance Manufacturing now has hundreds of thousands of craftsmen, and each of them is paid so much money to make these guns. I heard that now that there are steam engines, cannons can be made faster, and there is a serious backlog in the arsenal. Many of them are They are all beginning to rust. Your Majesty is using all the strength of the country to destroy the Donglu, not only to destroy the Donglu, but also to consume these backlogs of guns and ammunition here and put them to some use."
Zhao Shujiao started talking.
"All the financial resources of the imperial court have been spent on this. The Guards and the Brave Guards are rich in guns and artillery. Our frontier army is actually much richer than before. There are also a lot of new flintlock muskets, and more bows and arrows. You can dial as much as you want. You know, more than ten years ago, when the temple was in court, my servants wanted everyone to have a three-pronged musket with a good rod, but it was not good, either the workmanship was rough or the iron material was not enough."
Mangui continued.
"Can the time of the temple be compared with now? Today's imperial court's customs revenue alone is greater than the income of the national treasury back then. What's more, now, the imperial court's manufacturing speed of firearms is many times faster. I heard that the steam engine can run day and night after eating coal. If you keep forging iron blocks, guns and guns can come out of the factory continuously. Just watch, after the Donglu are destroyed, there will still be wars to fight. Otherwise, if so many guns and guns are not used to kill people, how can they still be used as food? "
Zhao Shujiao sneered and replied.
The Guards and Brave Guards of the Ming Dynasty are indeed very wealthy now. They seem to be suffering from a panic attack due to lack of firepower. Each army carries a large number of artillery in each town.
When the Donglu troops were stationed in Fangzhou Village, the first stronghold, the first town of the Ming Guards at the forefront of the stronghold had thousands of artillery.
Ye Chen, the deputy capital commander of Donglu, who was the largest landowner and guard general in this village, couldn't help but gasped when he saw this scene. He had never seen an army that could transport so many cannons at one time.
Moreover, Ye Chen, who had fought many battles with the Guards and the Brave Guards, also knew the power of these new artillery pieces of the Ming army.
Therefore, Ye Chen couldn't help but said: "There is no way to defend this. There are so many artillery pieces. If all the artillery shells are fired, the wall will not be able to withstand it at all. We have to defend it in a different way. Send the order and all Niulu will remove the wall. Return to the stronghold and rely on the terrain inside the stronghold to fight to the death with the Ming army! Give the Great Khan and others enough time to react. In addition, Obai, you should return to Hetuala immediately and tell the Great Khan and others that the Ming army is coming fiercely and has many artillery. They must defend the walled city. It’s no longer necessary, we need to escape into the mountains and forests to deal with them!”
"twitter!"
After Obai replied, he immediately ran down the village wall.
"Walk!"
And Ye Chen also ran towards the wall of the village.
Although today's Donglu are already living a very difficult life due to the Ming Dynasty's economic blockade, coupled with the Ming Dynasty's wheel war strategy and smallpox plunder, which has caused serious internal attrition, the Eight Banners nobles of Donglu are still in the early stages of a talent spurt. , Therefore, whether it is the top Eight Banners nobles such as Nurhachi and Huang Taiji, even the middle and lower Eight Banners nobles such as Ye Chen and Ao Bai, they all have good abilities. Even at such moments, they can be calm and calm.
Otherwise, in history, these people would not have been able to control Wu Sangui and other Han warlords, and they would not have been able to control the Han scholar-bureaucrats.
But in today's Ming Dynasty, everything has changed because Emperor Zhu Youxiao is no longer the Zhu Youxiao in history. The officials and generals fighting against him in Ming Dynasty are not inferior to these Eight Banners elites in terms of ability and character. From Sun Chuanting Zhou Yuji and Lu Xiangsheng, even Mao Wenlong, who had just been beaten with twenty military sticks for a fight and was demoted to a certain town sentry in the Guards, were all national warriors who left a mark on a certain period in history.
It's just that in this era, they all gathered together because of Zhu Youxiao.
boom!
boom!
boom!
Not long after Ye Chen and others got off the wall, the Ming army's artillery also started shelling.
As Ye Chen expected, not long after, the entire wall of Fangzhou Village collapsed in several places.
When Ye Chen saw this scene, he couldn't help but cursed: "The Ming army is so damn rich! There are as many artillery shells as rain. It's a pity that the Qing Dynasty doesn't have so many artillery! Otherwise, they will definitely hit Shenyang and Liaoyang." Go and slaughter all the people of the Ming Dynasty, but they should be finished now. Next, it is time for our Qing warriors to show their power! Tell them to go down and get ready. When the Ming army comes in, all the arrows in their hands will be ready. Shoot out without giving the Ming army a chance to react. Although the Ming army's firearms are powerful, we are hiding in the dark now. They can only find us when they get close and shoot at us. By that time, they are already within our shooting range. .”
"The artillery fire continues to extend! The three artillery divisions fire alternately, first with a round of live ammunition, and then with a round of explosive ammunition. Then, they withdraw the rocket car, mount the rocket slip, and force these Donglu people to come out. The infantry is ready on the outside. Once When the Donglu people rush out, line up and shoot them!"
Zhou Yuji, who was in charge of the command, used a telescope to find that there were not many Donglu corpses after the wall of the stronghold collapsed. He guessed that the Donglu people must be hiding in the stronghold, and with the purpose of wiping out the Donglu's vitality, he naturally did not Anxious to let the Guards rush in and occupy the stronghold, the artillerymen continued to push the artillery forward and then continued to fire to force the Donglu people to come out for a decisive battle. Instead of following Ye Chen's wishes, they rushed into the stronghold rashly. , consuming the soldier's life.
Anyway, Ming Dynasty was very wealthy.
Those with deep pockets will naturally have a rich and powerful style of play.
After all, Zhou Yuji was a famous general. He didn't have the ambition to command such a battle involving tens of thousands of people, so he resorted to using firepower coverage.
