"Your Majesty, Ladies and Gentlemen, this is the defense map of the Zheng Jiajun drawn by our scouts." Tan Tai spread out a picture on the table. Huang Taiji walked over, took a look, and said, "You all come over and listen to Tan Tai." ”

Duoduo and Sonny all came over. Huang Taiji raised his head and saw that Shang Kexi was still below, so he said: "King Zhishun, you are from Haizhou, you are familiar with this place, you can also come up and have a look." ”

Shang Kexi responded and walked up, standing sideways in front of the table.

Huang Taiji saw that everyone was standing still, so he glanced at Tan Tai and said, "You can tell you about the Lord of Baylor." ”

Tan Tai bowed down and agreed, and then explained the things on the picture in detail, and finally said, "Your Majesty, princes." Zheng Jiahaikou was extraordinary, they only took half a day to conquer Niuzhuang Fort, but in a few days, they dug such three trenches around Niuzhuang Fort. The movements are swift, and they are indeed capable and strong troops. ”

Duoduo stretched out his head, looked at the map, looked at it carefully for a while, and asked, "This trench is so well dug and poisonous, but it is crooked and twisted, but it is very similar to their wall in Jinghai." And this wire rejection ...... You see that in front of this rejection horse is a shallow trench, and this trench is used to block the shield carts. Zheng Jiajun's guys cannons are extremely accurate, and the shield cart is pushed all the way over, and they don't know how much they have to be knocked out, and then it leads here, as long as they pause slightly, let their cannons bombard, it's really ......"

"And this wire rejection. The minions think this thing is really vicious! Sonny also spoke, "This thing is made of wire, and it's full of barbs, and it's clumped like this, so that no one can climb over it, and you can't jump over it." Blocked by this thing, you see a little behind this, is the breast wall of the trench. Those pirates must be hiding behind this. The shotguns and cannons of these pirates are so sharp, they are so close, and they are splashing water in front of them, how many people are coming...... Where are so many people dying in my Daqing! ”

Huang Taiji looked around at everyone, and finally, his gaze fell on Shang Kexi: "King Zhishun, you are familiar with this area in southern Liaoning." Is there anything you'd like to say? ”

Shang Kexi hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "Your Majesty, the servants feel that we were inexperienced when we built Niuzhuang Fort. Our fortress was too close to the sea for their gunboats to attack ours directly. The minions feel that their ability to attack tough problems may not be as strong as we think. If we build a fort in some place upstream along the river, like here, and block the river with cannons, their gunboats can't get into the river, and the minions don't believe that they can take it down so easily. ”

Huang Taiji nodded, but shook his head again and said, "King Zhishun, you get up and talk back." What you say has a point. It's just that only once I asked not how to build a fortress, but how to deal with the Zheng family army that had already occupied the fortress. King Zhishun has been through a hundred battles, so he always has some ideas, right? ”

Shang Kexi stood up slowly, but he still lowered his head and said, "Minion...... Your Majesty, the servants feel that these pirates are so bold, so they naturally have to be punished. It's just that now our army has gone out and has not yet returned. Moreover, the Haikou is good at guarding, and our army will attack rashly, I am afraid that it will ...... And at this time, ...... attacked"

Shang Kexi said as he secretly raised his eyebrows to look at Huang Taiji's face. It's just that Huang Taiji's face was calm, but he couldn't see anything, and it wasn't just anger or joy, so he had to bite the bullet and continue: "The slave thinks that if he kills at this time, Haikou's gunboats can also be used...... Although I am invincible in the Qing Dynasty, I can't catch the enemy even if I win—most of them will get on the boat and run away...... The minions felt that it was better to mobilize the army first to prevent them from attacking. When the army returned, in the winter, the sea froze. By that time their gunboats would be useless, and there would be nowhere to run. At that time, we will be able to wipe out all the ugly ones and teach them a lesson! ”

Huang Taiji listened, nodded slightly, looked around at the other people, and said, "What about you?" What do you guys think? ”

The others were silent. Huang Taiji said again: "Sony, what do you think? ”

When Sonny heard this, he bowed down and bowed: "Your Majesty, the slave thinks that this Niuzhuang Fort is really not easy to fight now. If you want to fight hard and take Niuzhuang Fort, it is indeed like what King Zhishun said, it is best to wait for the army to come back, and then start again in winter, so as to have full success. It's just that if you don't fight at all, the slave thinks it's not right, and watching the enemy come to the door but doesn't fight, it will damage the prestige of my Qing Dynasty. Therefore, I still have to fight a little dozen, so that they can see the military might of my Qing Dynasty. ”

Sony's words are really very much in line with Huang Taiji's mind. Of course, Huang Taiji knew that Zheng Jiajun was good at defense, and over the years, the Qing army had almost never taken advantage of the places where Zheng Jiajun defended. Although the Qing army's level of fortification can be said to have made great progress compared with the Nurhachi period, they really relied on long-term siege to really take those strong strongholds. Their ability to attack tough problems is actually quite insufficient. Now that part of the main force is not there, under such circumstances, storming the fortress garrisoned by the Zheng family army can basically be said to be a short blow and a long blow. Huang Taiji himself can be regarded as a famous general who has experienced a hundred battles, so naturally he will not do such a thing. But when people come to the door, if they don't do anything, it will also damage morale and prestige.

"Well, old fifteen, what do you think?" Huang Taiji asked again.

"Your Majesty, my courtiers feel that now that the army is outside, it is indeed necessary to be cautious." Duoduo thought for a moment and replied. If it was before, he would definitely not answer like this, but now, he doesn't want to fight against Zheng Jiajun at all, even if it is a field battle, he doesn't want to fight with Zheng Jiajun, let alone attack other people's fortifications.

"Hmm......" Huang Taiji just nodded, paced a few more steps, and then stopped, and said, "What you Aiqing said makes sense." It is indeed not advisable for our army to attack hard at this time. But you can't stop fighting altogether. It's just that we can't fight where they want to fight, and we can't be led by the nose by them! King Zhishun said that even if we capture Niuzhuang Fort, we won't be able to catch their people, which makes sense! …… Well, King Zhishun, what do you think we can do to get them out of the city and fight us in the field? ”

"This ......" Shang Kexi didn't expect that he would be named again. But he wasn't too nervous about the roll call this time. This is not because the question is simple, but because when the question is asked, the most crucial decision has already been made by Huang Taiji, and the questions now are only tactical questions. This kind of question requires guessing what Huang Taiji means, and it is relatively easy to answer.

"Your Majesty, the servants feel that the reason why the Haikou attacked and occupied Niuzhuang Fort was to use the Great Liao River to attack us. We built a new fort at a certain distance from Niuzhuang Fort, and made a posture of using this fort to cut off the river water transportation. If the enemy wants to rely on the water transportation of the Great Liao River to support their raids, they will definitely not tolerate us building such a fortress. They will come out against us. The minions felt that this should be able to lure them out of the field. Shang Kexi thought for a moment and replied.

"What if people don't come out?" Dodor asked.

"Fifteen Baylor." Shang Kexi hugged his fists and said, "If the enemy army does not come out, then we will just build the fortress." With such a fortress, they cannot attack our hinterland. Isn't that a good thing? And if the enemy army does not come out, doesn't it mean that they dare not fight with us in a dignified manner? ”

Before Duoduo could answer, Huang Taiji spoke: "What King Zhishun said is very reasonable. As for whether the enemy can come out, we can hide our forces a little and see if we can attract them out. ”

……

At the same time that the Qing army's reconnaissance cavalry continued to strengthen the reconnaissance of the model army of Niuzhuang Fort, the model army of Niuzhuang Fort also strengthened the construction of defense facilities on the one hand, and sent the river fleet and reconnaissance cavalry on the other hand to reconnoiter the movements of the Qing army in the surrounding area.

Huang Zhao stood on the city wall, and the position he was standing on was the same place where the original city wall was shot at by cannons and collapsed. Today, it has been restored with cement and masonry. It's been seven days since the gap was repaired, and according to the engineers, the cement has reached 80 percent strength. So this gap is no longer a defensive weakness. It's just that the straight walls of this castle are still unreasonable. But for the time being, Huang Zhao didn't have time to move the city wall. The first thing on his agenda was to build a larger, permanent dock, and the second was to strengthen the defenses outside the city walls and to monitor the movements of the Qing army.

"Commander Huang, our scout cavalry has made a discovery!" A herald hurriedly came up from the city and said this to Huang Zhao.

"Ahh The enemy has moved? Huang Zhao turned around abruptly, his eyes flashing with excitement. A few days earlier, Huang Zhao was very worried that he would be attacked by the Qing army. At that time, although it may not be unbearable, but if it is to resist, the army under his command will definitely pay a very high price. But now, as the fortifications were perfected, Huang Zhao was increasingly looking forward to being attacked by the Manchu army. He felt that even if tens of thousands of Qing troops came, he could withstand it; Even if he can't resist it, he can safely retreat from the dock with most of his army; Even if he was forced to retreat in the end, he could rely on defense in this battle and play an extremely beautiful exchange ratio, and let the Manchus drain their blood here in one go. If this is achieved, even if Niuzhuang Fort is eventually recaptured by the Qing army, this battle can be regarded as a great victory. And he also knows that the model army is being expanded, and he who has made such achievements will definitely have a better chance of changing from a regiment commander to a division commander in the expansion.
