"Your Excellency has inspected Fushun and there are only 100 real slaves and 500 Han troops." In a forest outside Nanguan, Zhu Wuxin was reporting to Su Polu the situation around Fushun.
"It's a pity that if Nanguan is still there, we can directly isolate Jiannu from Fushun." Looking at the dilapidated Nanguan in the distance, Zhu Wuxin couldn't help but sigh.
"It doesn't matter. When the others arrive, let them dig holes here and build a few small earth walls first. The rest will be done after we capture Fushun." Su Polu stroked his mustache and said.
Nanguan is the barrier of Lushun. Now that Nanguan has been demolished by the Jiannu, the best way is to continue to move towards Jinzhou and capture Jinzhou as a barrier to Nanguan.
However, Su Polu's limited strength did not allow him to make such a move. Only earth-walled trenches could be built nearby. Come to defense.
"Sir, we are the army and they are bandits. Why are you so polite to these bandits?"
"What are officers and soldiers? What kind of bandits? As long as you kill the Tatars, you are the hero of our Ming Dynasty!" Su Polu said with a serious face.
There is a serious chain of contempt in his own team. Those who come from the capital look down on the locals, and the locals look down on the "bandits".
And those bandits also looked down upon the "Ming Army".
It wouldn't matter if the master now takes the throne, or if his side is strong enough to fight Jiannu head-on.
But what is the situation now? With Jian Nu’s knife held to his neck, does he still have the time to despise the other party?
None of those "bandits". Without those sergeants recruited from Liaodong, what can a dozen or so people from the capital do?
"Su Qianhu. Our 108 heroes from Black Wind Village have arrived. I wonder what tasks Su Qianhu has assigned us." A big man with a scarred face shouted directly from all the way away.
"Sir, these bandits are so unreasonable. Let me teach them a lesson." Zhu Wuxin said.
At first, Zhu Wuxin paid little attention to these Su Polu. In his heart, Su Polu only became his superior through bad luck.
But as time went by, Zhu Wuxin discovered that Su Polu was indeed capable, not to mention his marksmanship. Always be at the front in every battle.
After the battle, he was at the rear again.
Never talk about airs. All those who followed Su Polu admired him very much.
But the only thing Zhu Wuxin couldn't understand was why Su Polu was so tolerant of these bandits.
In Zhu Wuxin's eyes, bandits are bandits, and he is an officer and soldier. The other party dares to be so arrogant without tucking his tail between his legs when he sees him.
It’s clear that I don’t want to give Mr. Qianhu face.
...
"No need." Su Polu waved his hand to stop Zhu Wuxin's move.
These people appear to be bandits, but in fact they are all the master's reserve soldiers.
The reason why they behave like this is that on the one hand, they are now bandits. Isn't it normal for them to be unreasonable?
The second is that they don’t want others to see their relationship with them.
Of course, wouldn't it be just right to leave some things that are not suitable for the Ming army to these "bandits"?
"Is this Black Wind Village? Welcome. You go down to eat first. Wait for others to arrive before assigning tasks."
. . . .
On the Bohai Sea, five blessing ships flying the Qiming flag are slowly sailing towards Lushun.
Two of these ships were loaded with large amounts of food, and the rest were filled with explosives.
Explosive artillery is the landmine of future generations.
When Zhu Youjian learned that Su Polu wanted to regain Lushun and use Lushun as a base, Zhu Youjian looked around for tools that could help Su Polu defend Lushun.
By coincidence, just when Zhu Youjian was at his wits end, he discovered the "Fire Dragon Sutra" written by Jiao Yu.
"Fire Dragon Sutra" records: "The explosives are made of pig iron, on an empty stomach, put the medicine into a pestle, put it into a small bamboo tube, thread the fire wire inside, and use a long wire to thread the fire tank outside. Select the route that the invaders must take, and bury dozens of them in the pit. The groove is connected to the steel wheel, and the soil is covered so that thieves don't know it. When the engine is stepped on, it will vibrate, and the iron pieces will fly, and the sky will be in flames."
"Landmine" versus landmine. Zhu Youjian suddenly opened his eyes.
He hurriedly asked people to search for information on "landmines".
In the end, the Ming Dynasty's military book "Military Bei Zhi" was sent to Zhu Youjian, which recorded the shape and characteristics of more than 10 kinds of landmines, and also drew structural diagrams of landmines.
Landmines are mostly made of stone, pottery, or iron. They are buried underground and use firing devices such as stepping, tripping, pulling, and igniting to kill and injure enemies.
Early landmines were mostly made of stones into a round or square shape, with a deep hole drilled in the middle, filled with gunpowder, then hammered, leaving a small gap to insert a thin bamboo tube or reed tube, and the fuse was pulled out, and then the mouth of the gunpowder was sealed with paper pulp mud. , buried where the enemy must pass, and when the enemy approaches, light the fuse and detonate the mine.
....
After learning that there were landmines in Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youjian was immediately happy. He hurriedly asked his elder brother for help.
Emperor Tianqi was very happy when he heard that Su Polu was going to regain Lushun. With a wave of his hand, he asked Wei Zhongxian to give Zhu Youjian all the mines in the capital's arsenal.
By the way, 10 craftsmen who are good at making landmines were also given to Zhu Youjian. 100 barrels of gunpowder. and 3 small guns.
Although corruption was serious in the Ming Dynasty, the capital's military base still had a solid foundation.
The stock of land mines has reached 50,000. Although many of them have been there for who knows how many years, after the competition, there are still 20,000 that can be used.
This batch of supplies was rushed to the Tianjin Qiming Chamber of Commerce's ship, and then sailed directly to Lushun.
....
"Report, 1,000 Ming Army cavalry appeared in the north of Lushun." A man who looked like a herdsman rushed directly into Lushun's garrison Niulu'erzhen Mansion to report.
"Why are you so anxious? Isn't it just 1,000 Ming Army cavalry? What is there to panic about? Take me to gather the troops out of the city and kill them all." Aixinjueluo Yongye said, pushing away the beautiful woman beside him.
"Blow the trumpet and gather the crowd"
In the land of Lushun, if you are close, you can attack Jin and recover 2 states. If you retreat, you can escape by sea.
In order to prevent Houjin from being caught off guard by the Ming army, Aixinjueluo Yongye was given an important task by the slave chief.
Also coming with them were 100 elite soldiers from the Zhengbai Banner of Jiannu.
Zhengbai Banner is the elite of the Three Banners of Hou Jin Zheng'er's Eight Classics, and they are all first-class masters.
Not to mention 1,000 Ming Army cavalry, even 3,000 Ming Army cavalry, Aixinjueluo Yongye dared to charge head-on.
Woo hoo hoo, with the sound of the horn, the golden elite of the post-100 generation were quickly gathered together.
"A thousand Ming people are riding horses and are here to die. What do you think we should do?" Aixinjueluo Yongye climbed up to the high platform and shouted.
"Kill, kill, kill." Jiannu below was full of killing intent.
There are clear rewards and punishments for Houjin. If you want something good, then you can exchange it for military merit.
Since guarding Lushun, everyone's swords have not drank blood for a long time.
Now that someone has finally given it to me, is there any reason not to be excited?
