Huang Long said: "That's, that's, as long as we fight the battle of Jinzhou, there will be no less captures, there will be a lot of captures, and the court's reward plan will not be bad." ”

Fang Zhenghua said: "That's natural, if the reward given by the imperial court is thin, our family will not rely on it, even if you go to meet the Holy Son of Heaven to comment, you will be given what you deserve." Next, how to fight in Jinzhou, we suggest listening more to the 'Red Flag Army'. ”

Shen Shikui said: "Dongjiang Town and the 'Red Flag Army' are still not enough troops together!" Although there are still people and horses coming from the Dongjiang Town Islands next, the total number will not exceed 10,000, and the labor is only in the early 20,000s.

The 'Red Banner Army' seems to have about 15,000 people, but in fact, their regular soldiers are even smaller, not even 5,000, and half of them are children, and the rest of the two or three thousand are Weisuo soldiers who serve with the army, and about 8,000 are Han men who have just been recaptured from Fuzhou. ”

Huang Long said: "This official didn't know that the troops were insufficient, so he concentrated the people of Dongjiang Town early. You should not think that there are many people and horses in the city of Jinzhou, and there will be no more than 3,000 soldiers there.

Don't you see more than half of the people in the city? Didn't you see a lot of Han troops? Didn't you see that the women who built slaves were helping to carry them? ”

Shen Shikui said: "There are a lot of 3,000 Jiannu soldiers, when did the Ming Dynasty defeat the Jiannu army with 3,000 soldiers and win?"

Most of the old men and children of Jiannu were able to shoot arrows, and their role in defending the city was no different from that of a regular soldier.

Now the number of people defending the city in Jinzhou is probably close to 10,000, and it stands to reason that our army must have 50,000 horses before it can launch a siege battle. Besides, Jinzhou is still a strong city and a big city in southern Liaoning, which is really not easy! ”

This is a fact, the sad Ming army and Jiannu fought from the year of Wanli to the year of the Apocalypse and then to the year of Chongzhen, and they really did not kill more than 2,000 Jiannu soldiers in any battle to achieve victory.

It is said that during the bloody battle of the Hunhe River, the Houjin army suffered a lot of losses, and the old slave gritted his teeth to defeat the last Qi army led by Qi Jin, and repelled the white pole soldiers led by Qin Bangping and Ma Xianglin.

It can be seen that as long as there are many casualties in the war, the Houjin army won, or the Jiannu took the initiative to leave the battlefield with little losses, and there was really no example of the Ming army destroying two or three thousand Jiannu to win, so the head of Jiannu is a strange commodity.

If the siege of Jinzhou succeeded, there is no doubt that it will be a precedent, and the Ming army can trumpet the destruction of more than 10,000 Jiannu in a war, of which more than 30% are in armor, presumably at that time, the Ming army and civilians, and hundreds of officials will be encouraged.

Shen Shikui's words were not listened to, Fang Zhenghua smiled sympathetically, his voice was a little terrifying, and he asked Zheng Xiaowen, who came to contact: "Lord Zheng, how long did it take for the 'Red Flag Army' to take Fuzhou, and how much did it take?" ”

"Back to my father-in-law, the Red Banner Army came to Fuzhou City on August 6, carried out propaganda warfare on the second day, attacked the city on the third day, and broke through the murderous city at the north gate of Fuzhou in less than an hour.

Fang Zhenghua glanced at the general of Dongjiang Town and said: "It can be seen that the defenders of Fuzhou are far more than 3,000, and the 'Red Banner Army' has 15,000 men and horses participating in the siege?" Our family had just been to Funingwei at the end of July, and we knew the background of the 'Red Flag Army'.

Their total number of regular troops will not exceed 6,000, and they must arrange reinforcements, and they must send people to stay behind at the landing site, and it is estimated that the number of siegers will not exceed 4,000. ”

Zheng Xiaowen said: "That's true, the 'Red Banner Army' is too few people to surround Fuzhou City, and adopts the tactics of blocking the three gates and focusing on the north gate to seize the city, so it escaped from Nahai, the master of Jiannu. ”

Li Ruolian said happily: "A lesson from the past, so as soon as the 'Red Flag Army' came to Jinzhou, it dug trenches to ensure that Jiannu couldn't escape, right?" Lord Huang is not worried about not being able to defeat Jinzhou City at all! ”

Zheng Xiaowen said confidently: "It is a matter of time before the city is broken, and killing as many Jiannu as possible is the main purpose of the 'Red Banner Army'. ”

Huang Long was the general of the Ming army who participated in the attack on Luanzhou, when he was a staff general and was promoted to deputy general because of his meritorious service, and not long after Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai, and Liang Tingdong, the secretary of the military department at that time, jointly recommended Huang Long as the chief military officer of Dongjiang Town.

Of course, Sun Chengzong knew how to arrange the fight against Luanzhou, and he also knew that Huang Han's father-in-law had an unpleasant quarrel with Inspector Sun for the evaluation of the Battle of Luanzhou.

Huang Long saw that the purpose of this arrangement was to completely annihilate the Jiannu, and said: "This official agrees with this tactic, with the purpose of killing a large number of Jiannu population, so that they can gradually weaken." ”

Jin Sheng asked: "With our current strength, there should be no big problems in taking Jinzhou, the key is when the Jiannu reinforcements will appear, if it is when the offensive and defensive battles are in the dark, our army will encounter the cavalry attack of the Jiannu reinforcements, it will be a big trouble." ”

Zheng Xiaowen explained: "Lord Jin doesn't need to worry too much, our army has already set up many observation posts at night, and a large number of Jiannu cavalry will definitely find out in advance, and it is absolutely impossible to be caught off guard by Jiannu." ”

Fang Zhenghua also said: "Ladies and gentlemen, please relax, General Huang is cautious in his soldiers, he has always caught the enemy off guard, and he will definitely not put himself in danger." ”

Li Ruolian said with a smile: "General Huang has already sent someone to contact, he is on his way to the camp, and all the generals of the 'Red Flag Army' invite everyone to drink and enjoy the moon tonight to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival together." ”

The generals applauded, and they all looked forward to having a few drinks with the "Red Banner Army" generals in the evening.

After Huang Han left Fuzhou, he did not go south to Jinzhou by land, he went to inspect the Wanghaidun camp that was about to be abandoned, and then took a boat to the location of the "Wolf's Den Fort" port to land and change to a war horse to go to Jinzhou.

The "Wolf's Den Fort" to be built is 200 steps square, with an area of less than 0.1 square kilometer, which is about the same size as Yangguan Fort, and is close to the sea on the west side.

The bricks, stones, and timbers demolished from Fuzhou City have been loaded into a large number of ships and short-barged to the Wolf's Nest Port, and Yangguanbao has been razed to the ground at this time, and the ready-made stones have also been transported to the wharf that is not too far away and is less than ten miles away for loading.

There were originally several piers along the coast of Fuzhou that were garrisoned by the Houjin army, but because the "Red Banner Army" was menacing, Jiannu did not dare to stay in the pier fort to die, so he hurriedly abandoned the pier and fled.

Due to the fact that it is the most efficient sea transportation in modern times, all the seaside piers that have been found now have become the source of the "Wolf's Nest" infrastructure materials, and these piers will be razed to the ground, and all the masonry and wood will be transported to the port of Wolf's Nest.

With cement, rebar, and ready-made masonry and timber, and a mix of tens of thousands of men and women, the construction of this small fort was carried out so quickly that it was expected to be completed before the frost season came.
