The heavy infantry of the Huang family pack became an iron man, and they were also eager to form a formation to advance and pierce the Jiannu who dared to come in front of the battle, although their number was not very large due to the gradual elimination of the all-cold weapon troops by the head of the family, but the heavy infantry left behind were the most loyal and brave warriors who had been tested for a long time.

They are well-equipped and cooperative, and they are never defeated, and no cold-weapon enemy can defeat them.

There are also the Dongyang and Xiyi death squads that were selected as regular soldiers because of their military exploits, and their combat skills and courage should not be underestimated!

Jiannu did not choose the cavalry to attack when the Ming army was not firmly established, they chose to confront, and of course everyone was happy with such a good thing. The Ming army calmly established a firm foothold.

The transport ships continued to send semi-finished materials, and the steel lookout posts stood one by one with the extension of the tunnel, this thing was not afraid of being captured by the Houjin army, even if they were assaulted by the Houjin army's cavalry to take the position where the steel lookout posts existed.

The lookout posts are dead and bulky, but the scouts are the most clever existences, and their task is to observe the enemy situation while ensuring their own safety, and to transmit information to the Zan Painting Department in a timely manner, and they have no duty to defend their positions.

The scouts felt that the situation was not right, so they could carry the binoculars and retreat to the second line, and let the Jin army seize the lookout post, and in a hurry, the enemy army could not take away the spoils of war at all, and immediately the area around the lookout post would be covered by artillery fire.

The Ming army changed people to dig every hour day and night, which naturally ensured physical strength, and the digging speed was of course amazingly fast, so it encroached on half a month, and the Ming army's tunnel was less than five miles away from the Houjin army's tunnel.

Thirty-six steel lookout posts were erected, and the scouts on them had an unobstructed view of the camp through fixed binoculars.

Now the enemy's defense sand table made by the Zan Painting Department may be more thorough than the situation that the Red Gangster has mastered, of course, this is only the appearance, and the specific hiding of troops in each position of the Houjin Army cannot be fully understood.

After more than ten days of busyness, the deployment of the No. 7 artillery position of the Ming army was completed, and Commander Huang Donghai concentrated on using nine thousand field guns, a total of 132 guns.

Isn't Gou Jiannu waiting for the Ming Army? We came as he wished.

On April 16 of the sixth year of Chongzhen, the deployed Ming army artillery was ready to bombard the southern camp of Jiannu Jinzhou.

Huang Sheng personally came to the lookout post of the No. 7 artillery position to watch the battle, where he did not need to command, and each Qianzong performed his own duties.

Houjin army conceived a lot of plans for the Ming army to attack, but I didn't expect the Ming army to dig all the way over, in just ten days, the Ming army actually dug the seaside twenty or thirty miles full of holes, is the Ming army all groundhogs, how can they dig pits so quickly?

The Tunguska savage is a little dizzy, that "god-killing" man is not simple, and even the ability to dig pits is better than ours!

Of course, the Ming army, which had been recuperated for half a year, was full of physical strength, with 20,000 or 30,000 sapper shovels, and everyone worked together to excavate in the soft black soil.

The Jiannu didn't take advantage of the guys' business, Aha and the slave soldiers could barely get enough nutrition even to have a full stomach, their physical strength was naturally worried, of course, they were stealing and slacking off, so the work efficiency was definitely not comparable to that of the Ming army.

All in all, the difference between active work and passive work is too great, and the idea of ownership is not as simple as words. For the sake of themselves and the safety of their robes, the Ming army was definitely thinking in one place when digging trenches.

As a result, China's speed showed off again, and the Houjin army looked at the Ming army's trenches from afar, like countless snakes swimming closer and closer, dumbfounded.

At noon, the real battle began, and the 27 rifled guns of the Ming army's artillery array began to roar, and the six-pound and twelve-pound flowering shells unceremoniously fell around the tunnel where Jiannu was hiding, and suddenly the Jin army's position was like a frying pot.

Suddenly, they were shelled, and many Goryeo slave soldiers were blown up, and a few stick soldiers "Mom! With a strange scream, he threw down the arquebus and shot back, and before he could take two or three steps, a bright light flashed, a burst of blood mist sprayed, and a head rolled off.

The vicious voice of Bayala, who was supervising the war, was particularly harsh: "There is no advance or retreat, and those who dare to look back and wait will be decided!" ”

The discipline of the Houjin Army is really cruel, not to mention retreating and running away, you will be killed on the spot even if you look back.

The slave soldiers were crushed by the bullets, and one by one they silently lay in the trenches to gamble their luck, praying in their hearts that the heavens would bless them that the shells of the Ming army would not fall on their side.

The chaotic front tunnel slowly quieted down, and the Goryeo arquebusiers and Jiannubu archers were waiting for the Ming army to attack, but the bad Ming army did not come, and the shells were still flying.

Huang Sheng obviously knew that the lethal effect of the artillery bombardment was too much discounted in the situation of crisscrossing the ravines, and he still violently shelled the positions of the Houjin army at any cost.

The Huang family has money and food, and the flowering bomb has produced too much in recent years, isn't it just two taels to five taels of silver costing a piece, we are willing to plant a wide range of seeds and harvest thinly, and would rather blow up the Jiannu and blow up the production, rather than let the soldiers die and the silver is not spent.

Twenty-seven rifled guns are about 100 taels of silver thrown away for one round, and if the smoothbore guns are also added to the battle group, a one-time shot is 500 taels of silver, and dozens of rounds a day are gone.

It can be seen that fighting a war is throwing wealth, it is the most expensive existence in the world, and it is difficult to continue without strong economic strength to fight such a war of attrition.

The "rumbling" cannon sound of the forward position is endless, even if the Jin army can't be killed, it is enough to make those slave soldiers frightened!

The Ming scouts at the lookout post were all providing the coordinates of General Jiannu's artillery, the purpose of course was to render the enemy's artillery fire useless.

The sad Jiannu took the trouble to hum and hum to finally deploy the general's cannon in place, but unfortunately he didn't have time to shoot a cannon, and he ushered in the special care of the Ming army's artillery fire.

Jiannu also wanted to order the gunners to return fire, but unfortunately they couldn't, they all knew that the Ming army was still far away, and the effect of the artillery was just to hear a sound, and they couldn't hit the Ming army's position at all.

The Ming army does not charge does not mean that it does not act, "dig, dig, dig" we are all great groundhogs, everyone knows that the closer the tunnel is to Jiannu, the infantry attack distance will be shortened, the enemy's cavalry advantage is not worth mentioning, and the attack efficiency will be doubled when the musketeers can shoot the Houjin army.

At this moment, the Ming soldiers who had been trained for half a year were not afraid of the Houjin army, and they knew that everyone worked together to dig the position into a big face, and Jiannu's war horse could not gallop.

The cavalry that has lost the speed of impact is a scum, and he can suddenly jump out of the tunnel with a sapper shovel and be able to cut down the Jiannu who seems to be skilled in arching horses.

At this time, the Ming army was no longer afraid of Jiannu's assault, but expected them to come to this ditch and ditch, because Jiannu's head was worth a lot of silver.
