"Quick! Grab the wooden plate! ”

Fan Wencheng was busy shouting, which made the guards inside and outside the big tent suddenly panic.

Huang Taiji learned that the Nanyue army had come to help, and the forward army and horses had arrived in Ningyuan City, led by the eldest daughter of Li Shouhan, who was like a nightmare, and couldn't help but feel a burst of fire, and after a violent cough, two nosebleeds suddenly flowed out of his nose.

Huang Taiji himself is a big fat man, according to the theory of modern medicine, if he analyzes it, belongs to a strict "three high" people, and this symptom is called "wind vertigo" by the doctors around him, specifically expressed as liver depression and discomfort, easy to get angry, blood flow upwell, dizziness, causing stroke, high blood pressure and a series of symptoms. If you analyze his physical condition and medical records, it should belong to the sudden outbreak of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, such as large-scale myocardial infarction, cerebral hemorrhage and the like.

And such a disease, after the outbreak of the Battle of Songjin, became even more severe. Nosebleeds are frequent, and they often fill a wooden plate.

Now that he heard the bad news brought by Fan Wencheng, he couldn't help but make Huang Taiji's eyes spin for a while, and he almost fainted to the ground.

It took a lot of effort to evolve the battle situation into the current situation, how many soldiers, horses, money, and food were spent, and even his favorite concubine was put into it! However, on the balance that was originally slowly tilting towards his side, suddenly a heavy weight was added to the Ming army's side, how could this not make him feel like crazy?

"God, why are you so unfair to me?!"

The wooden tray that was held on the head by a guard was quickly filled. Huang Taiji's nosebleed gradually stopped, and as the blood gradually slowed down, his feelings and thoughts gradually calmed down.

"Mr. Fan, what else has changed in the military situation of the Ming Kingdom? Where did Li Shouhan's brigade go? ”

"Back to the master, according to the information reports from various places, Li Shouhan, the Ningyuan uncle of the Ming Kingdom, followed the order of Chongzhen Xiao'er, and the brigade landed in Denglai and other places, preparing to pacify the Shandong bandits first, and expel the troops of Rao Yu Belle Abatai from the Guanwai. Then go north and go out. The Ming Emperor feared that the situation in Shandong would deteriorate even worse after the arrival of Rao Yu Baylor's army. Now, Li Qingshan and other thieves and Xu Hongru's old remnants have cut off the canal. The Chinese Wu of the dynasty feared that if Abatai arrived in Shandong, he would either disturb the tombs of the saints of Qufu, or attack the city and lose his relatives. The most dangerous. It is to merge with Li Zicheng, Luo Rucai and others who are besieging Kaifeng in eastern Henan at this moment. Then the situation will be completely eroded. So. Ning Yuanbo's army, and 10,000 Jingying men and horses went to Shandong first, and after success, Denglai went to sea to Liaodong for reinforcements. ”

For Li Shouhan. Fan Wencheng and Huang Taiji both used a more neutral title, calling him a knighthood. There are two reasons for this: First, several battles with the Nanyue Army and the model brigade with blood ties with the Nanyue Army have all returned home, and the high-ranking Manchurian nobles have a trace of fear and strong worship psychology for the Nanyue Army and its masters from the heart. Second, this Ning Yuanbo's title is the title of the Li family in Tieling back then, if you accuse and insult this title, in case,...... Didn't even the Huang Taiji family scold? Therefore, it is now customary that when people mention Li Shouhan, they only call him Ning Yuanbo and do not call him by his name.

"Humph! A group of short-sighted, corpse-like vegetarians! Hearing this, Huang Taiji's heart settled down a lot. The black aura on the black face gradually subsided a lot, and was replaced by a sickly red.

"The minions think so too. If the monarchs and ministers of the Ming State ignore the affairs of Shandong and just throw all the soldiers of Ning Yuanbo into the battlefield of Liaodong, then my Qing Dynasty will be in danger! ”

"If Liaodong is decided, what is the matter of the Central Plains? However, if that is the case, where should the generals of the Ming Army in Liaodong and the bigwigs of the DPRK and China go to get promoted and make a fortune? I'm afraid that Li Shouhan himself is also worried about ending up with a Huaiyin Marquis. ”

"Mr. Fan, pass the message!"

"The minions are here!"

"The first decree is to spare Bel Abatai in the Guannai. You order someone to find a way to go to Ningyuan, take a sea ship to Guannai, and be sure to hand it over to him in the shortest possible time. ”

Huang Taiji's tone was cold and severe, which made Fan Wencheng feel awe-inspired, "The slave just obeys the order." ”

"Sue him, let him be sure to drag Ning Yuanbo's men and horses to me before I solve the tens of thousands of horses and horses of Hong Chengchou, no matter what method he uses, whether it is a partnership with the bandits or a joint venture with the thieves, as long as he drags Ning Yuanbo and does not let him throw a soldier into the battlefield in Liaodong, then in the future, his more than 10,000 soldiers and horses will be exhausted, and the horses will flee back alone, and I will personally go to the outskirts of Shenyang City to meet thirty miles!"

Fan Wencheng, who knelt on the ground to prepare the decree for Huang Taiji, trembled with his hands, and almost lost his ink with one stroke. Obediently, the emperor is really willing to give up! There are more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, as long as they can drag Ning Yuanbo, they will all be lost and fought out. He also personally went out of the city to greet the defeated general Abatai?! However, now that the battle has been fought to this extent, the commanders of both sides are like gamblers who have lost red-eyed, cutting off a piece of meat from their legs and betting it on the table.

"One more decree to Dorgon, Prince of Rui at Fort Tower Hill! I gave him full power, no matter what means he took on the front line of Tashan, what kind of reward he promised to the minions below, what officials he wanted to promote, and whose head he killed, as long as he isolated the Nanyue Army and the Wu Biao Model Brigade of Songshan Fort from me on the front line of Tashan, I would do it all! ”

With the previous will at the bottom, Fan Wencheng's heavy reward to Huang Taiji, and the heavy dà's decentralization has immunity. If you don't let go of power, the day the army is defeated and the country is broken, he Huang Taiji will be the next Yang Yinglong and Extravagant Chongming. Why do you do the foolish thing of sacrificing your life and money?

"The servant heard that Prince Rui received most of the families of the two white flag soldiers under his command to Tashan Fort, and I don't know what he means."

The intended purpose is the intended purpose, and if you are a slave, you should remind the master or remind it. Most of the families of the two white flags moved to Tashan Fort, which was a step away from the Ming army, which could not help but be suspicious at the sensitive moment when the two sides were about to fight and small battles were continuous.

Dorgon after conquering Fort Tower Hill. After slaughtering all the soldiers and civilians in the original fort and ordering people to clean the house, he ordered the officers and generals of the station to bring his wives and children.

"If you win this battle, you can wait for the minions to give your family to enjoy as soon as possible, and if you lose, your family will go with you!"

Huang Taiji had already understood this clearly in Dolgon's recital, but he didn't plan to tell Fan Wencheng. This is also a kind of attitude that breaks the boat.

"This will, you yourself will go to Tower Hill after dawn. Explain what I mean to him Dolgon. ”

After dawn. Scholar Fan led hundreds of people and escorted dozens of carts to set off.

In addition to some gold, silver, grain, grass, wine, meat, oil, salt, spices, satin and cloth, the wagons were loaded with more materials related to the war. Gunpowder. There is also a new manufacturing departure. Still flashing a shovel pickaxe with a cyan metallic sheen.

"These shovels and pickaxes. It was newly made by Chen Banda's minion. This slave can't do anything else, when it comes to iron-smelting and metalworking, etc., no one among my many talents in the Qing Dynasty can stand out. The Huang family, the Fan family and others in Shanxi got a few drawings drawn from Nanzhong by watching the iron smelting blast furnace of the Nanban from afar. This dog minion was able to draw inferences from the outside and inside to create a similar blast furnace, and this time, the source of my Qing Dynasty's weapons was stable! ”

Although Chen Banda built only a few earthen blast furnaces based on the materials stolen by the Jin merchants, and the technical content was not as good as the furnaces in Foshan, it was much more advanced than the smelting furnaces used by the thieves in Liaodong. Although charcoal is still used, a furnace can ensure that nearly 1,000 catties of pig iron can be produced. With enough pig iron, it was possible to create tools such as shovels, pickaxes, and pickaxes, which were originally extremely luxurious, and used to dig trenches and bury deer.

Seeing the Tashan boundary from a distance, Fan Wencheng and the others were discovered by the rangers of the two white flags, and they entered the position of the two white flags all the way.

"Lord Rui, slave Fan Wencheng asks for peace to Lord Rui!"

Along the way, Fan Wencheng was a little frightened by the atmosphere and scene near Tashan Fort.

In the cold solar terms, the soldiers, coats, and miscellaneous servants with two white flags were all steaming hot on their heads and sweating on their foreheads. There are even those brave people, who simply took off the armor of their upper bodies, and kept digging fortifications and trenches with their naked backs waving all kinds of rudimentary tools.

In the past, Tashan Fort, which could accommodate thousands of soldiers and horses and more than 10,000 people, has become the base camp of the dependents of the two white flags, and those twelve or thirteen-year-old children are also the same as their father and brother, each wearing cotton armor, holding swords and guns to patrol back and forth, replacing the messenger of his father and brother.

Accompanied by the two White Flag officials, Fan Wencheng set out from Tashan Fort and headed for Baitai Mountain, where Dolgon was located at this time.

Standing on the top of Baitai Mountain and looking out, the western Liaoning corridor has an unobstructed view, the earth is reckless, and the hills of Pingchuan are undulating.

As far as the eye can see, an official road winds from the direction of Shanhaiguan and passes in front of Tashan Fort. Although the place of Tower Hill Fort seems to be inconspicuous, it is a bone, and it is stuck in this choke point!

"Mr. Fan, to the north are Songshan and Jinzhou, you came there just now, but the road of more than 60 miles, if it is a fast horse, you can reach the city of Jinzhou in two hours. Dozens of miles to the south is Ningyuan City. It's also fatal. To the east of this place is the sea, and the Baitai Mountain under our feet is the narrowest section between the mountain and the sea, but only twenty miles. The terrain in this area is not very undulating, most of them are small mountain bags, and the terrain on both sides of Tashan Fort is open, and there is no danger to defend. If this king doesn't want to become a puddle of mud under the artillery fire of the Nanyue Army and the Ningyuan Army, he can only rely on Hongluo Mountain, Baitai Mountain, Dayu Mountain and other places to fight with them repeatedly, mountain by mountain! ”

"Fishing Mountain? Is that the island at sea at this time? ”

Relying on the guidance of others, Fan Wencheng pointed to a small hill not far away where the sea cut off the connection with the land.

That's the fishing mountain. At first glance, this mountain bag on the east side of Jinzhou Bay is very inconspicuous, and it is an island at high tide and a tidal flat connected with the coast at low tide.

Accompanied the old slave father and son to fight for many years, and during the battle of Shenyang, he slashed and killed the officers and soldiers guarding the palace with a sword, Fan Wencheng's military experience is far from being compared with the Yuan Inspector who was blown into the sky.

"Lord Rui, judging from the minion, the terrain here is easy to attack and difficult to defend! The east side is against the sea, and the Nanyue Army is known for its naval divisions, if the naval divisions are bombarded with artillery fire and cover the infantry team to attack from the sea, what should the prince do? The large and small East Mountains and Shadow Wall Mountains in the south are occupied by Wu Sangui's attack. Condescendingly, the cannon was erected, and the Tashan Fort where the prince was stationed was under the threat of artillery fire. The left and right flanks of Tashan Fort are open, and the cavalry is the most used to assault, and the wolf cavalry of Wu Sangui's department enters if they clash with each other...... Lord Wang, this Tashan Fort is basically no danger to defend, so please ask the prince to find another place to go! ”

"Haha! Mr. Fan, you only saw that our army's defensive position was vulnerable to artillery fire and cavalry raids from the Nanyue Army and the Ningyuan Army, and you only saw that the terrain here was only moderately undulating, and there was no danger to defend. But I never saw Hongluo Mountain to the west of our two white flag positions, and he was also a member of the Southern Guangdong Army. Ning Yuanjun is no more. Can't make a detour, can only pass from the front of the tower mountain to a hole in the road, can not deploy a lot of troops, I two white flag soldiers. Troop firepower can be concentrated. And they can devote more troops at any time to eat the team they rush in! ”

Duoduo waved the iron steel saber in his hand. The gold wire inlaid on the handle of the saber glistens lovely in the winter sun.

"You see, this is a radius of dozens of miles, from the seaside to the direction of Songshan Fort. In the direction of Xingshan Fort, in the direction of Shanhaiguan, in all directions, where is not the trench being dug in a big way?! Mr. Fan, when you came this time to send other things, our brothers are not particularly grateful, except for those shovels, pickaxes, pickaxes and other things, I am white flags, inlaid white flag soldiers, and those clothed minions are all inexplicably grateful! ”

Duoduo's words are not exaggerated, the Eight Banners Army has been marching and hunting since the old slaves, erecting fences in winter and digging trenches in summer, and they have great experience in digging trenches. In this battle of Jinzhou, their trench digging talents were brought into full play.

Their trenches had piles on them, ropes on the piles, bells on the ropes, dogs on the bells, and the lines of defense were very tight. At the beginning of the Battle of Jinzhou in history, a long trench was dug outside Jinzhou City, and because of the poor supervision, Dolgon was also demoted to a fine of silver. After replacing Zilharang to lead the troops on the Jinzhou front, the long trench fortifications were soon completed. After Zu Dashou found out that he was trapped, he attacked many times in succession, but he could not break through the trench defense line dug by the Qing army.

Although there are only moats and a small number of deer bars, and there are no wooden stakes and long-roped hounds, the dense trenches like spider webs crisscross the land of the western Liaoning corridor.

The soldiers of the two white flags, Manchuria and Baoyi Niulu, braved the biting cold wind blowing from the seashore, and struggled to dig on the frozen ground, and the soil dug up from the trenches was rammed on the spot to form an earthen wall. The main wall is half as high as a man, and can cover the fire gunners and archers to shoot. In order to make the earthen wall stronger, dense handymen also shuttled back and forth, going to the Drinking Horse River or the seaside to fetch water, and poured it on the earthen wall, making it an extremely hard ice wall.

Between the earthen walls were wide but not deep trenches, more than a foot wide and less than six feet deep, which happened to be a distance that no man or horse could cross in one step, and had to jump down and climb up to climb it to climb over.

It is probably an earthen wall accompanied by a moat, which is dazzling, and it is not clear whether the trench is sandwiched by an earthen wall or an earthen wall sandwiched by a trench. However, between the earthen walls, there are many empty spaces, or artillery is placed, or for the soldiers and horses in the flag to attack. In front of the earthen wall, many incoherent trenches were also dug, and the excavated earth was also built into a small wall half a man high or half a man high, and poured water on it to make it extremely hard.

These sorties of earthen walls were also dug into trenches, and people could use the blind spot of their sight to move back and forth on the horizon to avoid artillery fire. Those dense trenches and earthen walls are the natural enemies of solid bullets that are known for their bouncing lethality, which can minimize the range of movement of artillery shells.

In the trenches used for traffic sorties, relying on the artillery positions reserved by the earthen walls, Fan Wencheng saw large and small artillery, from tiger squat cannons, small franc machines, small copper cannons, to three-pounder guns, six-pounder guns, large and small artillery were carefully placed everywhere.

Many traffic ditches are relatively wide, and in order to provide a buffer place for passers-by, an earthen platform was specially left and built into a circular passage. But it was on this platform that a small iron cannon was also placed.

"Fan Wencheng, you dog minion, you give this king a guess, what is this cannon for?!"

Duoduo shouted rudely at Fan Wencheng, and the whip pointed directly at the small iron cannon that was half-lying on the ground and would be mistaken for a half-dead tree root if he didn't look closely.

"The master of the Prince of Huiyu, the slave is stupid and doesn't know."

Fan Wencheng didn't dare to say much about this ridiculous prince who was more than brave and less strategic, so he could only tell the truth to satisfy his vanity.

"This king knows that you dog slave doesn't know! You see, the muzzle of the cannon is facing the south, and if any army of the southern barbarians rushes in and charges inward along this trench. Suddenly, the cannon came at their formation, and if you think about it, the view," Dordor stuck out his tongue and licked his wind-blown lips, "isn't it beautiful?!" ”

Similar immoral designs abound in this set of offensive and defensive fortifications.

But it was nothing more than sixty or seventy paces in front of the camp, just within the effective range of his firearms, and beyond the lethality of the enemy's bow and arrow, he began to dig several deep trenches.

The excavated earth was built in front of the trench into a small wall, which was not high, half a man or half a man high. When the cavalry or infantry of the Ming army encountered these low walls of the trenches, it became an obstacle to their advance, and they could not hide and cover.

Of course, between each section of the trench, there will be a vacancy of more than a dozen steps and more than 20 steps, which is convenient for the Qing soldiers to charge, but also directly causes their charging forces to be crowded, and their own side can also use the limited strength. Inflict maximum fire damage on the enemy.

In the empty section of the earthen wall between this, the wooden chariot does not set up anything, only the Buddha wolf machine artillery, a tiger squat cannon, and there are dense fire soldiers on both sides to cover. In the wartime strategy, the Wolf machine artillery fired first, followed by the Tiger squat artillery, and if this wave of enemy forces did not collapse, then use the fire gun.

Dealing with the Ming troops who rushed into several trenches by stepping on the bones of their comrades, what awaited them were pikemen and sword and shield soldiers with two white flags who had been waiting for a long time. Hand-to-hand combat, mixed with the enemy and the enemy, is precisely the strength of these weapons, those Ming soldiers who are accustomed to using firearms to oppress the soldiers of the Eight Banners, are bound to collapse in the face of such an attack.

"Lord Rui, this formation, why does the minion look a little familiar? Where have you seen it? ”

Looking at the people who were still struggling to dig the ground in the sea breeze, their foreheads and faces were sweating, but their hands were high and swollen with money rat tails, Fan Wencheng thoughtfully asked Dolgon for advice.

This seemingly undefended territory has been turned into a huge sink and mud pit after many days of repeated battles by the Dorgon brothers, day and night. His Eight Banners soldiers and clothed soldiers could rely on this mud pit to move freely through the puddle, and the attacking side would have to pay the price of flesh and blood for every step forward.

"Mr. Fan, this is the method of my Eight Banners Army, plus the tricks used by the barbarians in Wunan in Hexi to deal with us back then. The king returned to the original owner today, and by the way, he added some condiments and invited those guests to have a good meal! (To be continued......)
