Jinzhou

Before Houjin completely withdrew his troops, a small group of Ming troops, who were ready to die, cautiously opened the city gate and walked out of the city in fear.

Above the city, the guns of the Ming army were all over the gun positions, and the gunners also loaded the artillery as quickly as possible, nervously waiting for the counterattack that the Houjin Tartars might come at any time.

Time passed minute by minute, to the surprise of the Ming army, the ferocious and wild Houjin Tartars in the past never had any intention of counterattacking, and the whole army of the Tartars retreated directly to the camp without looking back.

Seeing that Houjin Tartar completely retreated to the camp, the city became empty again, and the Ming army above and below the city was completely carnival.

In the carnival crowd, Zhao Shujiao had a smile on his face, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

This is a risky move. Zhao Shujiao was ready to redeem the seed in his heart.

Houjin Tartar has always been fierce and brutal, and he is not afraid of death. In the past, the Ming army fought with the Houjin, and many times, the Ming army was pressed by the fierce momentum of the Houjin Tartars who were not afraid of death, and finally lost in the battle.

Zhao led the sect to venture into the city, which was intended to lead the Houjin light cavalry back to attack. Zhao Shujiao believed that with the cover of artillery fire at the head of the city, as long as the soldiers out of the city could withstand the Tartar light cavalry for a while, it was very possible for the Tartar light cavalry to be severely injured or completely annihilated.

Of course, if the Tartars rode in enough light horses, rushed fast and ruthlessly enough, then the soldiers who went out of the city still had the possibility of being wiped out.

This is about to open the city, and Zhao Shujiao is actually gambling. Zhao Shujiao is using the life and death of this small Ming army death squad to gamble on the morale of the Tartars and the Ming army.

As long as the soldiers who went out of the city could stand firm and survive in front of the Tartars, the Ming army in Jinzhou would have the morale to really face the Tartars. Even if the death squad is completely wiped out, as long as the Tartar light cavalry that turns back can be severely damaged, the morale of the Ming army will not be too bad. It's just that the death squad is gone, and the Jinzhou Ming army is afraid that it will no longer have the courage to go out of the city.

However, in this season of ambush victory, Zhao Shujiao still has the capital to gamble with Houjin. lost the bet, but the Ming army still didn't dare to go out of the city in the future.

But Zhao Shujiao never expected that he would gamble on the most incredible result, and the Tartars would avoid the war.

The Tartars will even avoid war?

Looking at the morale of the Ming army rising to the sky, Zhao Shujiao's eyes flashed with a trace of worry.

The round of sharp and abnormal shelling just now is actually not the real power of Jinzhou artillery!

Looking at the flesh and blood hell under the city, Zhao Shujiao sighed lightly in his heart.

The artillery crew sent by Zhu Youzhen not only brought real artillery knowledge to the Ming army in Jinzhou, but also brought Zhao Shujiao a black technology 'explosive package' that did not belong to this era.

After the explosives package technology tested on the Lushun battlefield, Zhao Shujiao was quietly informed by the artillery crew. In the preparation of Jinzhou to defend the city, dozens of explosives bags were quietly added.

It's just that, in view of the uncertainty about the power of the explosive pack, and the large demand for gunpowder in the explosive pack, Zhao Shujiao only prepared these dozens of explosive packs.

The Later Jin army established a large camp in the west of the city, and Zhao Shujiao already understood that the west city would be the main direction of the Later Jin siege.

After determining the direction of Houjin's main attack, in addition to mobilizing all the six-pounder iron mold cannons to Xicheng overnight, Zhao Shujiao also sent people to go down to the city at night and buried dozens of explosives bags under the city.

If it weren't for these explosive packs densely packed under the city, with dozens of large and small artillery pieces at the head of the city, how could the Jin Han army after 2,000 years not be able to withstand even a round of artillery bombardment?

In this era when flowering shells have not yet been introduced, whether it is a solid bullet used in heavy artillery or a scattered bullet used in light artillery, the lethality of artillery is still far inferior to that of an explosive bag with broken nails and broken iron.

Although the ambush achieved shocking results, Zhao Shujiao, who had been in battle for a long time, still knew very well that it was difficult for him to organize such an ambush for a second time.

First, although the explosives pack is powerful, it consumes too much gunpowder. A pack of explosives consumes 6 shots of gunpowder from a 6-pounder gun. The explosives package used in this ambush is equivalent to the consumption of gunpowder used in hundreds of shellings. With such a huge consumption, Jinzhou simply can't afford to consume it.

Second, the explosive package also has a fatal weakness, that is, it must be ignited with a fuse. This fuse is not very easy to make. In this ambush, the large number of long fuzes that Jinzhou possessed had were exhausted.

Also, why did Zhao Shujiao insist on arranging a death squad to venture out of the city?

In fact, in addition to teasing the Tartars and improving the morale of the Ming army, the death squad also had a more important task.

Looking at the death squad that had begun to clean up the battlefield under the city, Zhao Shujiao had a happy smile on his face.

Others can't see it, how can Zhao Shujiao not be able to tell the difference. The death squad under the city has quietly added two more people at this time.

Those were the two most loyal members of Zhao Shujiao. It was they who had been lurking in the battlefield under the city since last night, in the barely shelterable cavern. It was they who had just ignited the fuse of the explosive pack amid the roar of artillery.

Using the death squad to cover the two to get out as soon as possible is the greatest reward for Zhao Shujiao's contribution to the two loyal and brave families.

The ambush was successful, the morale of the Tartars was suppressed, the morale of the Ming army was raised, and even the loyal and brave warriors returned intact. In the first battle of Jinzhou, the result could not be more perfect.

Looking at the Houjin camp in the distance, a trace of worry flashed in Zhao Shujiao's eyes again.

The Tartars have returned to the camp to recuperate, and if they come again, the Tartars are afraid that they will be ready to suffer heavy casualties. At that time, what awaits Jinzhou must be an unprecedented fierce battle.

Turning his head to look at the cheering Ming army at the head of the city, his eyes swept over the young gunners standing straight in front of the six-pounder gun; Remembering that without these gunners, if there were no artillery and gunpowder urgently transferred from the rear; thought of wanting to speak again and stopped, and finally angrily walked up to the city tower to watch the battle; Zhao Shujiao suddenly realized.

His Majesty Chongzhen has a long-term vision, and the grace of heaven has benefited Jinzhou. Jinzhou is not fighting alone this time. With His Majesty Chongzhen here, why worry that Jinzhou can't hold it?

Ning Yuan, the governor of Liaodong

"Da Shou, it's been three days since the wolf smoke came, and the aid you selected hasn't been ready yet?" Twisting his brows, Yuan Chonghuan's already dark face now looks even more ugly.

Is this ancestor Dashou missing a string in his brain?

It has been three days since the wolf smoke rose to summon the news, and Ning Yuan also received the letter of the Jin Tartars attacking Jinzhou on a large scale, and Ning Yuan also received it for more than two days. At this time, Ning Yuan had not sent a single soldier to Jinzhou, what would the imperial court think of Ning Yuan?

"Lord Futai, I have tried my best to urge. It's just that the wartime salary and silver have not yet been paid, so this makes the sons and daughters fight? Zu Dashou respectfully saluted Yuan Chonghuan and complained aggrieved.

Wartime salary, open silver?

Hearing Zu Dashou's complaint, Yuan Chonghuan couldn't wait to kick this guy who had no eyesight to kill.

Now that you're still thinking about that bit of silver, I'm afraid your ancestor Dashou doesn't lack a string in his brain, but he doesn't have a brain at all, right?

It was very clear to him some time ago that His Majesty Chongzhen first ascended to the throne and attached great importance to the battle of Jinzhou. There is now an eyeliner in Ningyuan City that leads directly to His Majesty Chongzhen,
