One thousand one hundred and thirty determination
According to the current situation, Yang Yinglong felt that he had only one way to defend the sea dragon hoard.
When the veterans of the Qin army division were exhausted and had to retreat, the battle was won.
However, he underestimated the determination of the Qin army to fight a decisive battle, and also underestimated the thickness of the granary after the harvest in the entire Jiangnan and the mobilization of the people.
The grassroots officials of the new Great Qin went down to the villages to mobilize the strong men to transport food and salaries for the army, and the exemption from agricultural taxes was the driving force, and the people's participation was very active.
The large workshops for the production of military materials were in full swing, and after receiving the promise and reward of the processing money, the craftsmen worked in three shifts day and night to vigorously produce military supplies such as firearms, artillery ammunition, knives, guns, swords, halberds, bows and crossbows, and the output increased unprecedentedly.
Grain and military resources were continuously transported to Guizhou by river and land to be used by the army, and the entire Jiangnan was working for this war and conducting an all-round general mobilization.
Xiao Ruxun wanted to test the effectiveness of land reform since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the specific effect of the imperial power in the countryside, as well as the work ability of grassroots officials, etc., to see if there was any Puyu that could be brought to the central government to be trained and appointed.
The grassroots officials also know what the emperor means, and every time a war breaks out, it is the time when they show the emperor their work ability and achievements, and if they show it well and launch it well, they will definitely be seen by others, there will be rewards, and it will not be a problem to enter the central government.
Therefore, this war mobilized various groups such as the desperate bureaucrats of the new Great Qin, and half of the Great Qin was mobilized, which was different from the mobilization power that could only last for a month in Burma back then, and the mobilization power this time was devastating.
Its spectacular scene amazed the Guizhou Tusi, and the action of the imperial court to show their muscles was quite successful, and the Tusi in Sichuan, Guizhou and other southwestern places were deeply afraid of the strength of the imperial court.
Many southwestern Tusi with a bit of vision had a premonition of the final victory of the Qin army and the possibility of reshuffling the power of Guizhou and Sichuan after the war.
After all, fifteen days to defeat Yang Yinglong's 100,000 army, forcing Yang Yinglong to go to the sea dragon hoard as Yang Trapped Dragon, this combat power and mobilization power are enough to make them look at the nascent Great Qin Imperial Court, and fear from the bottom of their hearts.
They will naturally produce the subconscious of the invincible strength of the Great Qin Imperial Court, and they will soon embody the instinct of kneeling and licking.
Sure enough, after the news of the Qin army's fifteen-day defeat of Yang Yinglong's siege of Hailong Hoard spread through official channels and non-governmental channels, Tusi continued to contact Zhu Zhengse, the governor of Guizhou, and Wang Xiangqian, the governor of Sichuan, and said with smiling faces that although it was too late to send troops now, they were willing to contribute money and food to help the army, and they didn't know if it was okay.
Hearing such words, Zhu Zhengse's face was very kind with a good old man's face, and Wang Xiangqian's unsmiling face also showed a slight smile-
Of course, what you have paid today, the Great Qin Imperial Court will not forget, and the Great Qin Imperial Court will definitely remember your contributions.
The Tusi were overjoyed and began to mobilize, sending food and money to the Qin army, and brushing the favor of the two governors of the Great Qin Imperial Court and Zhu Zhengse and Wang Xiangqian.
They were expecting something in return after the war was over, or preferential treatment or something.
The Qin army's military supplies are unprecedentedly abundant, and for the time being, it is not a problem to support them for two or three months.
And if this battle can't be solved in two or three months, it is estimated that Xiao Ruxun even has the mind to drive the expedition in person, and Zheng Ying's group of generals will not think about being promoted and making a fortune, and it is estimated that they will have the heart to commit suicide in shame.
With such a good advantage, it is not possible to solve the battle as soon as possible, and it will drag on for two or three months?
That's really not to mess up, the entire Great Qin army is going to mock these people.
Therefore, Yang Yinglong thought that the Qin army would be the same as the original Ming army, and then it would decline and exhaust itself, and it would be withdrawn before it could survive the final victory.
This is a completely wrong calculation, Yang Yinglong does not have any correct understanding of Daqin, and he doesn't even have the idea of understanding, which is a great taboo for soldiers.
You don't know anything about your opponent, and your opponent has figured out how many bounties you have in your pocket.
The only thing that Zheng Ying is a little sorry for is that Yang Yinglong is still a little vigilant, and he looks very closely at Hailong's own nest.
All the people who went in to serve were old people who had served in their own homes for many years, and they all knew each other, and any new face was very eye-catching, and the time for the Black Water secret agent to infiltrate Banzhou was still short, and it was less than two years to be full, so it was really impossible to blend into the core area of the Sea Dragon Hoard.
But they did a good job, except for the sea dragon hoard, the entire Banzhou is a sieve full of holes.
This last sea dragon hoard, but it is indeed impregnable, worthy of being a fortress built since the Song Dynasty, it can be called a living fossil of an era, difficult to penetrate but inevitable.
Rao is like this, and it is not a big deal, is it difficult to penetrate, and this battle will not be fought?
With Zheng Ying's order, the war drums rumbled, and the first wave of attacks began.
In front of the tun, Qi Dayong's subordinates led a part of the men and horses to make a feint, and after the tun, Qi Dayong personally led the main force to launch a super offensive.
Before the army attacked, the Hongyi cannon rumbled, and the Furang machine gun team was also preparing, waiting for the Hongyi cannon to destroy the long-range strike weapons on the city, and then pushed forward to continue the indiscriminate bombardment, creating opportunities for the infantry to attack the city.
There are also a lot of artillery pieces on the city of Houguanguan, but most of them are all kinds of strange artillery, and a few are Furlong machine guns, which can't go far.
Fortunately, the accuracy was a little worse, and the first round of shooting failed to give them a heavy blow, so Yang Wei quickly reacted and angrily ordered to fire back.
The Banzhou soldiers in the city were hurriedly preparing to open fire, but for a while there was no discipline and could not be organized, and the cannons were fired sparsely, one cannon at a time, one cannon at a time, and one cannon at a time, and they watched flying and falling to the ground, and there was still a long way to go from the Qin army's artillery.
"Why can't you hit it? Why can't you hit it?! β
Yang Wei was very annoyed, he had no experience in using artillery, and it was natural to think that the Qin army's artillery could hit far, and his cannon could also hit far, but the reality was cruel, and his cannon could not hit that far.
"General, that cannon can hit two miles, and ours can only hit one mile at most."
A somewhat experienced Han gunner told Yang Wei about the difference, and as a result, Yang Wei was so angry that he cut off the gunner's head with a knife.
"Whoever dares not to fight the cannons of those officers and soldiers will be killed on the spot!"
Affection he is still an idealist.
Emotional artillery can't go far, and the gunners don't help.
If Qi Dayong under the city knew about this, he would probably have to laugh off his big teeth.
But during this time, the Qin gunners adjusted their position and the muzzle of the artillery, and once again loaded the ammunition, this time, they were much more sure.
"Ignitionββββ !! of fire"
The order was given, and the gunners lit fires one after another, and then crouched down to cover their ears.
A deafening sound sounded, a strong air current kicked up a puff of dust on the ground around the artillery, and the terrible iron bullets flew towards Houguan City wrapped in thick smoke.
"Don't dare to do anything! Don't dare to fight! You see I don't hack to death...... Yes!!!!!!!!! β
Yang Wei watched as the terrifying iron bullet flew straight towards the city tower.
