"Woo, woo!"
Early in the morning of the next day, outside Jinzhou City, the Qing army made another move.
This time, it was just yesterday's flower gun, and Kong Youde's Wuzhen Chaoha battalion was also pulled out.
Dozens of tightly covered red-clothed cannons, surrounded by countless minions, were slowly pushed to the front line.
"him @#¥%!"
"Dog Tartar, this is going to play for real!"
"Mother, this, is this the Tartar's red-coated cannon?"
"I heard that the Tartar's cannon can hit more than two miles away, and our can only hit one and a half miles, this, this has to be pressed and beaten."
"What can I do? Cannonballs don't have long eyes. ”
“……”
As the red-coated cannon was pushed to the front line, there was chaos on the side of Jinzhou City.
Fortunately, the ancestral family has been working here for a long time, and the clan is strong, and the officers at all levels have been scolded and beaten, and it took a while to suppress this panic.
Zu Dashou, who didn't sleep well last night, had a black old face that was already a little blue, but it was even darker for a while, almost like the bottom of a pot.
Zu Dale was anxious to ask Zu Dashou to hurry up with the Lord for help, but he was still stopped by Zu Dashou.
Zu Dashou is also gambling, betting on whether the Qing army really wants to take Jinzhou City!
"Boom!"
"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"
Soon, the two sides launched an artillery bombardment, and the scene was earth-shattering for a while.
Even if Jinzhou City has geographical advantages and fights from high to low, the technical level of Jinzhou City's artillery is at least one generation behind the Qing army's Wuzhen Chaoha Battalion.
The Qing army attached great importance to the development of artillery from the old slave period, and the emperor Taiji did everything he could, with countless excellent craftsmen.
The craftsmen can't make artillery for Daming, and they can pass by fooling around, and it's a big deal to run away with their wives and children, but if they can't make artillery for their masters, it's not something that can fool the past, and the whole family will be killed.
There are rewards for making good ones, and they are all big rewards, and if you don't make them well, you have to kill your head, how to choose, do you still need to ask?
This makes Jinzhou City's artillery far less sharp than that of the Qing army, even if most of it is purchased from Haoao.
After all, they were all purchased ten or twenty years ago.
Between the fierce artillery fire, the bricks and stones on the head of Jinzhou City were splashed and rumbling for a while, even if only two or three percent of the artillery of the Qing army were lucky to fall on the city, it also brought horror and chaos, and there were casualties.
But Zu Dashou kept gritting his teeth, but he really didn't let go of his mouth to seek help from the Lord.
He is not stupid, and before the situation is clear, he will definitely not make such a huge political mistake that will lead the main force to death!
…
The power of the shelling of people on one side is already amazing, and the two sides shell each other, and the power is even more terrifying!
In this era, this kind of scene is almost unimaginable to ordinary people, and it is really like the sky is falling apart.
In the north of Songshan City, the Ming army was in battle, and many people's sweet dreams were suddenly awakened by the sound of artillery.
"What's going on?"
"What's wrong? Are the Tartars coming? ”
"My mother is here, what's going on in Jinzhou?"
"Buddha bless, I don't know if I can eat until tomorrow's lunch."
"When is this day going to be the end......"
“……”
At this time, in order to ensure the way back, although Hong Chengchou did not order to reduce the burden of the army, the generals of the various departments were already preparing in advance and began to reduce the meals for the troops.
Previously, the team had always had three meals, one in the morning, one in the evening, and another in wartime, but at this time, almost all the troops were reduced to two meals.
There was already a little panic in the Ming army, and this obviously too deliberate way at this time also made the army more impetuous and chaotic.
From the general's point of view, this seems to be no problem, after all, for the sake of the long term.
But ~, thinking a little backwards, this is simply stupid!
But at this time, who has the ability to transcend the limitations of this era and see this clearly?
The morale of the big-headed soldiers at the grassroots level fluctuates, and among the generals, the fluctuation is even worse.
…
In the middle of the flank of the western front, Bai Guangen was surrounded by dozens of relatives, looking at the direction of Jinzhou City, gloomy like an old white cat.
"Shuai, this battle is not easy to fight. Jinzhou is like it is now, someone must go over to save it, if we let it ......"
The one who spoke was a deputy general surnamed Li, who was Bai Guangen's henchman, and he had already followed Bai Guangen when he was following the Drill Monkey in the mountains and Shaanxi.
Although he has been wearing a big red official robe for several years, and even mixed into the high position of deputy general, ~, this deputy general surnamed Li is still the same as the Wandering People's Army.
Then you have to preserve your strength!
If you have strength, you will have the right to speak, and if you don't have the strength, the court will know which bird feather you are?
"Shuai Ye, that's right, Vice General Li is right. If you ask us to go, we can't go. The brothers have worked so hard to come to this place where birds don't, and the benefits have not been touched at all, how can they be cannon fodder? ”
"Shuai Ye, I'm afraid we have to prepare for this matter early."
“……”
Some people set a precedent, and all the generals expressed their opinions one after another.
Almost without exception, it's all about preserving strength.
Bai Guangen glanced around and said coldly: "Lao Tzu is not as clear as you dogs?" Shut up Lao Tzu! ”
"Well, it's ......"
Everyone suddenly did not dare to speak again.
Bai Guangen looked in the direction of Jinzhou, and his face became more and more gloomy.
"I can't fight this battle." ’
Bai Guangen, who has been working in Jizhen for more than two years, understands very well that he can still rush to the death in the face of the exiled army, but~, in the face of the demonic real Manchurian Tartars, he can't think of it, and he is looking for death!
You have to plan your way back!
…
It's about the same as Bai Guangen's department.
Shanhaiguan Horse Science Department, Miyun Tangtong Department, Shanxi Li Fuming Department, including Qiantunwei Wang Tingchen Department, Liu Zhaoji Department, and Wu Sangui, Cao Bianjiao, and Wang Pu Department, who have no main generals for the time being, are all in a mess at this time.
Except for the veteran Yang Guozhu's Xuanfu Zhen Army, and there was really no choice, the Zuoguang Xian Department of the Qin Army tied to Hong Chengchou was slightly better, and none of the Ming troops were peaceful.
Even if the lord doesn't speak, all the generals under his command are trying to make the lord find a way back, and he can't leave all his family business here.
In the Chinese army, Hong Chengchou is almost about to explode.
Zhang Ruoqi didn't urge him at this time, but Hong Chengchou really wanted Zhang Ruoqi to urge him like before and urge him to go to Jinzhou to rescue.
This time, at least he has a room to help him share the burden.
But at this time, Zhang Ruoqi was completely dumbfounded, and he had already chosen Mingzhe to protect himself, no longer taking that kind of risk, and pushed all the pressure on him Hong Chengchou.
Hong Chengchou wanted to discuss with Qiu Minyang, but Qiu Minyang was in charge of logistics, even if he discussed with Qiu Minyang, it would not be Qiu Minyang's turn to take this responsibility.
This made Hong Chengchou already put on the barbecue grill in the fire, and if he was not careful, he would fall directly into the fire and break his bones!
And even if he doesn't fall, as the temperature gets higher and higher, he still has to be roasted, and there is no choice.
After thinking about it, Hong Chengchou still looked at Zhang Ruoqi, and said with bitter difficulty: "Brother Tianshi, the state affairs are difficult." How should we make a choice at this time? ”
Zhang Ruoqi looked at Hong Chengchou's joke coldly: "Brother Hengjiu, you are the governor of Jiliao, and this matter should be decided by you!" Now that the opportunity has been lost, the spirit of our army has been lost, and the subordinate officials are not immortals, where is the best way? ”
“……”
Hong Chengchou's old face was red!
He finally realized how lonely he really was.
No one is on his side......
But no matter how difficult it is, life still has to go on.
Hong Chengchou could only grit his teeth and become stronger, and said with a long sigh: "Jinzhou has not sent a report asking for help at this time, and we are all patient." Still, there is still to be preparation. Notify Bai Guangen and Tang Tongbu to enter the preparations for war. If Jinzhou is in danger, rescue as soon as possible! ”
"Yes."
Although the voice of the herald is still loud, anyone can see how depressed the Ming army is at this time.
…
"Lao Tzu @#¥% of the eighteenth generation of ancestors! Lao Tzu knows that this fucking shitty life is still going to be given to us in the end! Shuai, what should we do now? ”
Bai Guangen, as soon as Hong Chengchou's order came, many of the generals who followed him were fryers.
In the big tent, led by Vice General Li, everyone was filled with righteous indignation, and they all looked at Bai Guangen.
Bai Guangen was a lot more relaxed at this time.
There is no order, he is not good at operating, at this time, the orders are given, think. It's simple.
"What the fuck are you stinging about?!"
"The governor has already ordered it to come down, and they are all for Lao Tzu to prepare for war!"
"But, handsome man......"
Vice General Li was really a little fried, even if Bai Guangen was angry, he had to say, "Shuai Ye, do this, our roots, we really have to explain here." ”
"Hmph."
Bai Guangen sneered from his nose: "Is Lao Tzu so stupid? Isn't this accompanied by Tang Tong! It's all for Lao Tzu to work, and Lao Tzu is prepared! ”
"Yes."
Sending everyone away, Bai Guangen thought for a while, beckoned a personal entourage, and whispered a few words in a low voice.
Soon, this pro casually went to the Tang Tongbu camp.
…
In the chaos on the main side, Xu Changqing has begun to integrate the elite family under Cao Bianjiao and Wang Pu!
In this kind of raid, there are not many soldiers, but fine!
Especially the three forces, we must do a good run-in in advance, so that the line is one!
For Cao Bianjiao and Wang Pu, Xu Changqing did not need to be polite, and directly grabbed power and wanted to obtain the supreme leadership.
There is no problem on Cao Bianjiao's side, and there is no big problem on Wang Pu's side.
The main reason is that Xu Changqing only asked for 300 families with the two of them, plus Xu Changqing's soldiers and personal entourage, this special force has a total of about 800 people.
Cao Bianjiao and Wang Pu are still leading their skeletons.
The three sides add up to 37,800 people, less than 4,000.
However, these people are all elites, even if they are not from the family, they are all good hands, which is enough.
With a lot of previous experience, Xu Changqing is already very experienced in training these families.
Xu Changqing does not need to practice them a lot, he only needs to pass on orders and implement them thoroughly, and then instill in them the correct concept and reward and punishment system.
I started practicing in the morning, and by the evening, the results were already remarkable.
Of course, the reason why it was so smooth was that Xu Changqing, Cao Bianjiao, and Wang Pu all made a bloody investment and gave them rich rewards.
Cao Bianjiao and Wang Pu were not idle, and the elites they personally led were also run in more smoothly.
In the evening, the three of them met and were in a good mood.
It must be known that these teams of nearly 4,000 people are all horses, and almost all of them are at the level of one person and two horses, and they are no weaker than the Tartars in terms of mobility.
Especially under Wang Pu, there are many good horse control players, all of whom are Mongolians, and they are better than Tartars.
On the side of Zhang Dagong and Li Zhu, they had already prepared more than 20 explosive packages, thousands of bamboo tube flowering bombs, and 10,000 enemies.
In this state, you just need to keep your ears and eyes clear and wait for the opportunity to appear!
However, even if Xu Changqing and the three of them did things very secretly, it was not easy to hide from the shrewd Wu Sangui.
Therefore, tonight, Xu Changqing specially set up a banquet to invite Wu Sangui to explore Wu Sangui's tone and see if Wu Sangui could join the gang.
Even if it is unlikely that Wu Sangui will join the gang, it is necessary to stabilize Wu Sangui, after all, Wu Sangui's strength has a decisive role, and he will naturally not offend Xu Changqing.
Especially with Wu Sanmei's face.
But the four of them had just sat down, and before they had finished drinking the first glass of wine, the news from the main force was passed on, Hong Chengchou couldn't hold it anymore, and Bai Guangen and Tang Tong sent troops!
