From the imperial court to the civil officials, they all paid special attention to the casting of firearms, but later they took the wrong path, after salvaging the naval guns at sea, the artillery of the Ming army became heavier and heavier, and the scale was getting larger and larger, and it was of course the supreme weapon to defend the city, and the Jurchens had no way to fight, until the king of Sanshun returned to the emperor Taiji, the Jurchens had the casting technology of the Ming Dynasty, and they rose up to catch up, but even then it was difficult for the Jurchens to break through the city garrisoned by artillery, and Sun Chengzong's car camp had a large number of firearms...... In the hearts of the Ming people, firearms represent many things, but one thing is certain, that is, firearms are higher than bows and arrows, which is completely different from the Tartars in the Ming army. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At a deeper level, in fact, firearms represent the progress of civilization, while the northern and eastern captives are still in the barbarian form. The people of Daming may not have thought of this, but it does not hinder their pride and pride.

Due to the corruption of the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, the quality of the guns made is getting worse and worse, and the generals certainly can't talk about any training for the guns.

Firearms, civilization, iron and fire, this is the victory of civilization over barbarians, a hearty victory!

When it got dark, Liang Xing sent a large number of soldiers and people to make torches, on both sides of the road to cheer up the people who continued to pile up earth, and the army beat a big drum, and in the slow and passionate drum beat, the morale of the soldiers and people did not become low because of the continuous work.

The military doctors brought the wounded back to the tents of the field hospital for treatment, and the morale of the people became even higher when they saw that the wounded were being cared for by the doctors and treated properly.

In contrast, the smell of blood at the head of the city was very strong, many corpses were beaten to pieces and no one came to collect the corpses, and many wounded people lay on the city and kept screaming and moaning, but no one came to treat them.

It is possible that these seriously injured people just wanted to drink a jug of water before they died, but no one paid attention to such a thing. The war in the north was unfavorable, and the upper and lower levels lost confidence, simply put, they were beaten badly, and the original care for the wounded soldiers in this era was almost unattended, unless there were very good comrades or relatives together, otherwise no one would pay attention to them at all.

Illuminated by thousands of torches, the mound work continued, and the foundation of the entire mound had been piled up under the corners of the wall, and now the work was to continue to raise the foundation.

Then the pile is about one meter high, and it is connected with the previous pedestal, the whole depth is more than 200 steps, the width is more than 100 steps, the north side is already more than one meter high, and the height under the city wall is slowly rising.

No one was resting in the entire camp, and everyone, including Zhang Han, was watching this spectacular scene.

After the absolute suppression, the siege of the city with the sealing of the mound is naked bullying and crushing, who called the strength of the northern captives inferior to others, unable to limit the stacking of mounds, who told them not to dare to go out of the city, unable to kill those soldiers and people. Their firearms are rotten, their bows and arrows are weak, and their cavalry is powerless to charge, and at a time like today, watching tens of thousands of northern captives tremble in the city, being bombarded to pieces on the top of the city, seeing their flesh and blood rolling, and hearing their incessant wailing, for many people, this is not terrible, and the soldiers have no mercy, for them, this taste of revenge is incomparably wonderful.

No one wants to rest, the soldiers are forced to take turns to rest, they can't take off their armor, to prevent accidents, in the summer wearing dozens of pounds of iron armor to stand is originally very physically demanding, in the deployment of the Chinese army, there is constantly a whole brigade of soldiers to sit down and rest, they are comfortable half lying, or sitting cross-legged, drinking water, recovering physical strength, although still can not take off the armor, but at least can recover most of the physical strength.

The soldiers who got the most opportunities to rest and recuperate, they were also transferred to guard before the battle, followed by the pikemen, they also wore relatively heavy iron armor or piercing armor, and the fire hammermen had fewer opportunities to rest and recuperate, and the chain mail they wore was the lightest, weighing only about ten catties, and the burden on the fire gunners was much lighter than the iron armor of the soldiers who were more than thirty pounds.

Only part of the cavalry rode on horseback and was ready to attack, and more often led the horses to stand, or took turns to sit down and rest, and the horses drank water, fed, and maintained their physical fitness at regular intervals.

The whole army was in good order everywhere, and the place where the earth was piled up was the most chaotic, but it also maintained a relatively stable order.

Liang Xing's deployment and command this time has also been tested, maybe he is not as famous as Zhou Yao, not as rigorous as Sun Yao, not like Xia Xiping, a rising star who has a deep understanding and study of geometry and cartography, nor like Ren Jing and other officers who are brave and good at fighting at night, like Li Zhiye, who can rush to the forefront and mobilize the emotions of his subordinates.

However, Liang Xing, with his rich experience and sufficient prestige, fully demonstrated his ability to coordinate and command the overall situation in this large-scale battle in which the two armies combined with more than 100,000 people.

……

Everyone watched the mound keep piling up and felt like a miracle, but those who were in it knew how it came out.

Zhao Wen gasped, feeling that his chest was like a bellows, he felt that his throat was almost out of breath, his robe was already soaked with sweat, wet and sticking to his body, his legs were trembling, his hands were trembling, and the muscles of his whole body were trembling.

After putting the sack on the ground, Zhao Wen felt that the whole person was going to fall down with the sack.

"Let's go, let's go!"

A baggage officer waved his hand and told the men to leave quickly, and the baggage soldiers braved the sparse rain of arrows to sort out and pile up the dirt bags, while the sappers guided on the side, and everything was in good order.

Zhao Wen glanced at these scenes, and felt that he had some admiration for these people in his heart, he was scared to death when he walked, but these people had been working under the rain of arrows and shells.

Now the rain of arrows is getting more and more sparse, and the northern captives are beaten by those gunners who dare not take their heads, and when the gunners just opened fire, Zhao Wen and other people cheered loudly and cheered loudly, and his voice was a little hoarse.

Funny to say, a few months ago he belonged to the side of the city, and a few months later he sincerely cheered for the soldiers under the city, and sincerely hoped that this side would win the victory quickly.

I don't know when this transformation began, Zhao Wen only knew that he was completely on the side of He Yusheng, in the words of the military and political officials of He Yusheng, on the side of the ancestors and the nation, and also on the side of civilization and justice.

Zhao Wen is a scholar, he is not like other people who only giggle when they hear the military and political officials preach, or inexplicably angry because of the past atrocities of the Beiyu, he has been pondering what the so-called civilization and justice are, today when he saw the fire gun against the bow and arrow, and saw the performance of the armies on both sides firing artillery, Zhao Wen vaguely understood, of course, this is definitely not enough, but with Zhao Wen's current situation, he has no way to think about more things.

After gasping for a while, with the support of Li Shanxin and another folk husband, Zhao Wen got up trembling and ran back together.

When they arrived at the rear of the military formation, a military and political officer checked the signatures on everyone's bodies and said with a smile: "Okay, this day five times, your task is completely completed." ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but Zhao Wen couldn't wait to collapse on the ground.

Five trips per person, must complete such a task of sending dirt bags, from a few hundred steps back to carry more than 100 pounds of sack, risking his life to run back and forth, this kind of thing Zhao Wen feels that it is enough to do it once, but everyone has to do it five times, otherwise it is a violation of military law, in peacetime the people are disobedient at most whip or closed for a short period of time, the biggest threat is to transfer to the copper mine, if you do not listen to the order today, it is a battlefield violation, the lightest punishment is also sixty military sticks, if the nature is worse, For example, inciting more people to disobey orders, the only end will definitely be beheading, which is non-negotiable, Zhao Wen doesn't want his head to be hung in the upper room of the camp gate to warn those who come.

No matter how relaxed he is, the implementation of military law is very in place, Zhao Wen saw with his own eyes that a few chasseurs were too indulgent of themselves, and as a result, the head was cut off and inserted above the wooden stake, which is also a serious warning to the unruly chasers, Zhao Wen saw that the chasers passing by were depressed and nervous, and he was also very afraid, he definitely didn't want to fall into that fate, never.

Beyond the array of jumpers and pikemen, through the gap left by the musketeers, there was the camp area, with large tents in front of it, and a long wooden fence separating the camp from the normal grassy area.

Everyone subconsciously threw their boots, and behind them was the excavation area, where the sappers and soldiers had dug a large hole dozens of zhang wide and several zhang deep, and several other excavation areas were working.

Zhao Wen looked behind him, under the light of the torches, he continued to pile up the mound, it seemed that the Chinese army was going to finish the mound tonight, this kind of determination and will made Zhao Wen feel a little trembling, and at the same time, he was also glad that his work today had been completed.

However, when they saw the ant colony and the soldiers and people who were still working, Zhao Wen and the others had an impulse again, and they couldn't wait to go back to help. They have regarded everyone as their own partners, when the formation is according to the original range of activities in the reclamation area, the caretakers are the soldiers, the people are also grouped together, most of the people who have been recruited from the interior are organized into another team, so that the people and the soldiers cooperate tacitly to the greatest extent, and there is a considerable psychology of taking care of each other, the military department also encourages them to take care of and help each other, in the process of helping each other, people consolidate and strengthen the original friendship, sublimating it into friendship, In the end, it is close to the comrade-in-arms feelings of the soldiers.

Everyone felt very tired when they walked to their camp, although they had only moved six times, but before that they had done a lot of physical work, and each of the six trips would use up all the strength of the time, and after recovery, they would come again, and again, from the end of noon until it was nearly dark, after these six trips, the people's physical strength was exhausted.
