The official army was surrounded on all sides, and the 15,000 army surrounded a mere Mingjiang City, and there were only about 2,000 wolf soldiers in the city, of which Huang Gongsheng's henchmen were only 500. ¥ ♀ Eight ¥ ♀ Eight ¥ ♀ Read ¥ ♀ Book, .2 ≠ ◆ The rest of the people were honest at first, but as soon as the army of the imperial court arrived, it was inevitable that they would be ready to move.

Huang Gongsheng's wings are difficult to fly, but he is not willing to sit still.

Huang Gongsheng has the courage to fight to the death, but he always feels that it has not yet reached that point, because his father Huang Enlong only has three sons, not even a daughter, and now that the two sisters-in-law have been killed, what can the official army do even if they enter Mingjiang City?

Of course, Huang Gongsheng also knows that the officers and soldiers can also have two choices:

First, simply don't do anything, and directly change Siming Prefecture to the river and set up a flow official. But Huang Gongsheng thought that the official army would not do this, because Siming Prefecture was a large state of Siming Prefecture, and its status was extremely important, and if the official army did this, the Huang clan would probably oppose it en masse, and even cause sāoluàn. At least logically speaking, it is impossible for Huang Zhiting to be willing to see Siming Prefecture change its land and return to the river.

This is actually what Huang Gongsheng doesn't understand about Huang Zhiting's approach, Siming Prefecture is so important to Siming Mansion, even if she doesn't like herself, she has to send troops to show the majesty of the main family, then she can't recruit the imperial army, isn't this luring the wolf into the room? Does this stupid girl think that the court is so excited to help her show the majesty of the master's family?

Hmph, even if Lao Tzu is deflated by then, it depends on how you end up with this stupid girl!

The second choice of the official army is to find another team from within the Huang family to take charge of Siming Prefecture, but this matter is easy to say, but difficult to do, the key is that if you choose a family that is close to Huang Chengzu and Huang Zhiting's father and daughter, the court will still get nothing and be busy in vain; On the other hand, if a branch that is separated from Huang Chengzu and Huang Zhiting's father and daughter is found to be in charge of Siming Prefecture, then Huang's father and daughter will definitely not do it.

Therefore, no matter how the court chooses, Huang Gongsheng feels that it is not suitable, so the court will only punish him in the end, and then continue to let him take office.

As for whether the imperial court will simply hand over Siming Prefecture to Siming Mansion to deal with it itself, Huang Gongsheng thinks that it will not, because the imperial court will never consider strengthening the main family of the Cen family and the Huang family, and for the Tusi who are in the position of the main family in these two families, the imperial court's consistent attitude is weakened. ∷八∷八∷Read∷ book, .≮.※o

Obviously, Huang Gongsheng has no understanding of high pragmatism.

Out of this consideration, Huang Gongsheng feels that the current attitude of the imperial court is actually in the same vein as in the past, they mainly "want to save face" - after all, it is killing brothers and killing brothers, although it is not a rare thing in the toast, but the Ming court has always been very strict with this kind of behavior.

In particular, Huang Gongsheng has already found out that the representative of the southward this time is the new Guangxi Governor. These inspectors are all masters who like to find faults, and soon after this inspector arrived in office, he heard that he had killed his brother and killed his brother, and he was inevitably a little annoyed, which is also human nature.

It seems that we have to send someone to the patrol master to admit his mistake, and by the way, he may have to spend a minute or two, and make some points......

This is the disadvantage of being in a remote and barren place, Huang Gongsheng doesn't know the origin and background of Gao Pragmatic at all, and only treats him as an ordinary official, thinking that he can turn the page by admitting his mistake obediently and putting the dots in place.

Just when Huang Gongsheng was about to send someone to admit his mistake and start counting and preparing gifts from the Siming Prefecture treasury, the artillery battalion led by Ni Zhonghua had already crossed the Ming River and arrived at the southern front.

Artillery battalion, this is a pragmatic statement, in fact, the Ming people in this year prefer to use "car battalion" to refer to the artillery that is used together. Ni Zhonghua was very happy that he was able to lead the artillery battalion, and he thought that this was the benefit of showing humility in front of the high press platform before.

In this battle, the Han army as a whole is estimated to not be able to make any big achievements, but he Ni Zhonghua is very promising to make a fortune because he led the artillery battalion, and he may be able to mix up with the deputy general soldier at that time, which is a big step forward.

In the Ming army, the command car battalion is not something that ordinary people can get, because the Ming army has different war ideas from all dynasties in the past, and attaches great importance to firearms.

Before the Ming Dynasty, the military ideology of "heavy road and light weapon" has always occupied the mainstream position, and most military strategists advocated seeking victory, although they still had a positive attitude towards the role of weapons in war, but they did not pay enough attention to the renewal and development of weapons and equipment.

However, in the Ming Dynasty, the situation began to change, compared with the past wars in the era of pure cold weapons, firearms played an unprecedented role, and the concept of winning the war with emphasis on "weapon victory" began to appear in various discourses.

When expounding on the strategy of employing troops, Chengzu Zhu Di not only required the generals to be good at flexibly and changeably using the previous formations and tactics, but also particularly emphasized the use of firearms and the use of weapons to win. At present, Qi Jiguang, the most famous military strategist in the Ming Dynasty, also attaches great importance to the role of weapons and equipment, believing that "it is in vain to have elite soldiers but no elite weapons to help them." ”

Marx once said: "With the invention of the new means of warfare, the firing of firearms, the whole internal organization of the army must change, the relations by which each person forms the army and can act as an army change, and the relations between the armies also change." ”

This kind of change was particularly obvious in the Ming Dynasty, when firearms were mainly used as hot and cold weapons, so that the Ming Dynasty's army building ideas were becoming more and more mature.

With the new development of firearms and their widespread application in warfare, it caused changes in the internal structure and establishment system of the Ming Dynasty's army, which was most obviously manifested in the creation of specialized firearms units in the Ming Dynasty.

The most famous, of course, was the formation of the Shenji Battalion, which gradually separated the firearms from the infantry and formed an independent branch of the army. The creation of the Shenji Battalion greatly improved the combat effectiveness of the Ming army, and compared with the fire qiāng soldiers created in Spain in Europe in the early 16th century, the creation of the Ming firearms unit was about a century earlier.

It can be seen that the Ming Dynasty at this time is not lagging behind, at least in terms of military development ideas, it is not lagging behind.

Later, with the further development of firearms, the Ming Dynasty began to form firearms vehicle battalions, which better solved the problem of mobile combat of firearms.

There are several forms of car camping: heavy vehicle camp, light car camp and car riding camp. The vehicle battalion is actually a firearms battalion, and the firearms are not only shielded by combat vehicles, but also can be easily mobile because of the vehicles. As a form of combined forces of artillery, cavalry, and infantry, the cavalry battalion is a product of the development of firearms to a certain stage and represents a new combat effectiveness.

But what Ni Zhonghua was happier about was that Gao Pragmatic had gathered all the car battalions on the northern front and handed them over to him for command.

This practice is not common in the Ming Dynasty, but Ni Zhonghua has heard of it - Liu Xian has done this kind of thing, but it is the first time for him to command such a large-scale car battalion operation, so he is quite eager to try.

Of course, because Guangxi is a poor province, there are no generals Tianwei and Shenwu two generals who went to war this time, there are 3 generals of the third thunder, 14 generals of the fourth thunder, 24 generals of the fifth Jiesheng, 30 exterminators, 60 tiger squat cannons, 60 whirlwind cannons, and a total of 109 large and small Francorang machines.

The statistical unit of "bit" is a characteristic of the Ming Dynasty, because the Ming Dynasty likes to call medium and large artillery a certain general, so as to use "bit" to call it.

Although there are no statistics, Ni Zhonghua estimates that the above artillery probably accounts for at least one-third of the mobile artillery of the entire Guangxi official army.

With so many cannons, he hit Mingjiang City, Ni Zhonghua felt that Gao Xun was simply giving credit to himself, if he couldn't seize this kind of opportunity, wouldn't he be stupid enough to go home?

Without waiting for Huang Zhiting to express his position, Ni Zhonghua observed the position for a while, and began to order the arrangement, and by the way, he sent someone to ask Huang Zhiting to send wolf soldiers to protect the car camp - although Ni Zhonghua didn't think that Huang Gongsheng had the courage to kill out of the city, but there was nothing wrong with being careful, anyway, the friendly army was Tusi wolf soldiers, so there was no need to use it in vain.

Although Huang Zhiting was very unhappy with Ni Zhonghua's attitude, for the sake of more than 200 "generals", she still pinched her nose and admitted it - after all, it was much more cost-effective for her to break the city with artillery than for her to fill in with the lives of the wolf soldiers.

Huang Zhiting confronted Huang Gongsheng under Mingjiang City in Siming Prefecture for nearly a month, it was not that she did nothing, the moat in Nancheng had already been filled by the wolf soldiers under her command, and Ni Zhonghua's cannon could reach Mingjiang City if she wanted.

However, Ni Zhonghua felt that his work was already proper, and he refused to take such a risk, so he only placed the three generals of the thunder, the four generals of the flying thunder, and the two generals of the fifth Jiesheng on the outside of the original moat, aimed at the main gate and the front city wall of Mingjiang City, and prepared to start firing cannons. The rest of the exterminators, tiger squat cannons, whirlwind cannons, and large and small Fran machines were arranged in the rear, depending on the machine.

More than 1,000 wolf soldiers sent by Huang Zhiting were divided into two teams and guarded in front of the Che camp. The queue of these wolf soldiers seems to be quite neat, but they are a little restless, but not for anything else, but for the first step after the city is broken......

However, at this moment, a small white flag suddenly appeared on the city tower, and a hanging basket was put down from the city tower, and a person jumped out of the basket, shouting: "And slow down, and slow down, the villain is on the order of the second son to ask to see the patrol master!" ”11
