If you don't have a force that you can fully trust, how can you fight a war?

Huang Sheng had no choice but to sharpen his guns in battle, and now he is busy seizing the time to train his troops, striving to raise the discipline and combat effectiveness of the 40,000 or 50,000 Ming troops assembled in Shanhaiguan and Ningyuan by a level.

At the very least, it is necessary to ensure that they will not collapse at the first touch, and mobilizing them in the spring to pick up the engineer shovel and dig trenches under the command of the Huang family engineer can always play a role.

Huang Sheng was preparing to attack the Houjin army with trench excavation in the same way, and a large-scale positional battle would break out under the city of Jinzhou, and it was inevitable that he would fight for the trench repeatedly.

This form of warfare was most widely used during the First World War, and it was very rare in this era.

Huang Sheng has seen too much from film and television works, books, and analysis of battle examples in later generations, and there are not too many tactics for fighting for positions.

Now the Huang family's industrial system has reached a new level, and it has entered the era of large-scale iron and steel, with no less than 600,000 industrial workers in all walks of life.

With the most advanced industrial system of this era to support this war of semi-hot weapons, there is no doubt that it can be won, Huang Sheng is not worried that he will not win, but he does not want to suffer too many casualties.

Therefore, it is necessary to reverse the situation on the battlefield that is unfavorable to the Ming army, and it is necessary to turn the disadvantage into an advantage.

In four or five months, Huangjiawan Island will produce too much barbed wire, rejecting horses, deer barbs, and thistles.

When it came time to meet the Houjin army, the Ming army would wear large-headed cowhide boots with steel plates at the bottom, and they could run freely on the battlefield where they scattered iron thistles.

The barbarians are miserable, their combat boots are pierced by thistles, their feet are pierced by thistles that have been ground with lead powder and boiled horse manure, and they will die in agony if they are infected!

The position covered with barbed wire, deer barricades, and rejecting horses, the cavalry could not break through at all, and such an arrangement did not affect the accurate shooting of the Huangjia musketeers.

This is Huang Sheng's advantage in the situation, with the advantage of the firepower of the Huang family's private soldiers, on the battlefield that can slow down the Jiannu and Tartar cavalry assaults, carry out long-range strikes, and effectively weaken the Houjin army many times.

In the case that a large number of Houjin soldiers will die in the battle for the trenches every day, the Red Gangsters will definitely not be able to hold out for a long time, and Huang Sheng will not be able to surround and annihilate the Houjin Army, and it is completely possible to successfully make them retreat in the face of difficulties.

The opportunity to expand the results of the battle depends on how the Red Gangsters retreat, and the men and horses after the Jin army is broken must be there, and it is difficult to withdraw if there is too much, and the possibility of being surrounded and annihilated if there is too little.

Unwilling to be lonely, the Houjin army stopped for two or three days and then began to have sentry horses come out to move, they did not dare to get too close to Ningyuan, but inserted a wooden pole in a conspicuous place on the official road, on which a letter would be left, indicating that the Ming Dynasty Nanguo Gong Qi Qi, the payment was Dajin Khan.

Soon these letters were handed over to Huang Sheng, Huang Sheng smiled dumbly, and the eight little ones used those tricks to deal with Yuan Chonghuan, but unfortunately Huang Sheng was a prophet, and he was a fool of the red gangsters.

Huang Sheng didn't open the letter of the slave chief at all, he didn't have any interest in it, and directly sent the sentry horse to Wang Yingchao, the eunuch of the prison army.

This eunuch is also very shrewd, and he didn't dare to dismantle it without authorization, so he sent 600 li to the military department urgently.

Nanguo Gong took his men and horses to Liaodong, and from then on, the six-hundred-mile expedited in Liaodong would never disturb the Gonggong Princes again.

Although Nanguo Gong did not get much this time, it was enough to make the military and civilians of Beizhili think that the situation in Liaodong had improved, because it seemed that the Ming army led by the "God of War" had already replaced defense with attack.

The recent good news was not captured, but reported to the Son of Heaven, and Liaodong successfully sent people into Jinzhou to liaise, and learned that Jinzhou was as solid as a rock and would not be a problem until May next year.

At the Great Dynasty Meeting, Emperor Chongzhen, who learned that Jinzhou could not be lost, was in good spirits, and he asked in a loud voice Xiong Mingyu, the secretary of the Ministry of War:

"Xiong Aiqing, Liaodong Jingluo has successfully contacted the Jinzhou defenders, and learned that the chief military officer He Kegang can hold on for at least half a year, but I really don't know how Nanguo Gong sent people to rush into the city when Jinzhou City was besieged by Dongnu like an iron bucket?"

Xiong Ming replied: "Your Majesty, the ministers are frightened, and they don't know much, and the Nanguo Gongbao is vague, probably because he is worried about exposing his exclusive secrets of using soldiers." ”

"Well, Xiong Aiqing is reasonable, it is a taboo for soldiers not to keep things secret. Aiqing's frequent letters to the slave chieftain in the Liaodong Economic Strategy Army are correct? ”

"Weichen thought that the prince of the southern kingdom was out of the horse, and the slave chieftain was also poor. They can't gain an advantage on the battlefield, so they do this trick! ”

Emperor Chongzhen thought that his thoughts coincided with the book of the Ministry of War, laughed, and said: "The divisive plan, the slave chief is too taken for granted, and in the future, whenever he finds out that the letter from the slave chief will be burned directly." ”

Xiong Mingyu said: "Wechen obeys, Wechen still has something to ask." ”

"Aiqing, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it."

"Weichen implored the Holy Son of Heaven to issue an order to appease Liaodong Jingluo, and inform the Duke of Nanguo that the Son of Heaven had already seen through the tricks of the slave chieftains, and as for how to use troops, it was all up to the Duke of Nanguo to make his own decisions."

"That's how it should be, I'll make a decree at once." Emperor Chongzhen was in a good mood, and the ministers were naturally happy.

Since the use of Nanguo Gong, the Ming Dynasty has been much quieter, although the Shanxi Liukou is rampant, but the encirclement and suppression of the army from all walks of life have been reported one after another, and the menacing thieves seem to have been successfully contained.

Chongzhen's five-year year has been a lot better, and the Jingshi has resumed its drunken gold fan, and the commercial street of Wang Gongchang is still crowded with people, where is there still a difficult post-apocalyptic scene of national affairs?

The red gangster's deliberate strategy did not have the desired effect, and it was destined to be happy again, and the positional battle outside Jinzhou City was inevitable, and this battle was destined to hurt both sides.

Huang Sheng's battle in Liaodong this time definitely made a big loss, and the subsidy for military expenses is probably indispensable for one million taels of silver, and the loss of his loyal and brave soldiers is not known. This battle is also worthy of the emperor of the Ming Zhu family.

Mao Yuanyi is already the fourth rank of the Imperial History of the Imperial Palace, and his official position is only one step away from the governor. Ningyuan is the garrison he has worked hard for several years, it can be said that the soldiers are good enough to eat, and there is a unique condition here to be close to the sea.

Because it is different from history, Liaodong gave birth to the Huang family navy, and the Houjin army no longer dared to easily besiege this military fortified city of the Ming Dynasty near the sea.

A friend who has become a very popular minister has become the supreme governor of Liaodong, Mao Yuanyi of course spares no effort to assist in the work, and his friend asked to train Ningyuan garrison, and he is naturally happy to see him actively cooperate.
