Yang Tingjian was still working overtime to make plate armor during this time, and Huang Taiji heard that there was a large iron factory in Huairou, so he immediately sent Tong Yangxing to lead more than 5,000 Wuzhen Chaoha to capture it.

The iron ore factory of the Tiger Ben Army was located in the Qian'anling of Huairou, but it encountered an unprecedented crisis, and Tong Yangxing led more than 5,000 Wuzhen Chaoha soldiers to besiege the iron factory.

The main source of this Wuzhen Chaoha soldier was the late Ming Dynasty initiative to annex or in the subsequent war by the Later Jin and its Jiannu captured in Liaodong people, mainly Han Chinese, there are also a small number of Sinicized Jurchens and Mongols who had entered the Ming Dynasty as officials, etc., at first all under the Manchurian Eight Banners. Due to the harsh policies of the Han people during the Nurhachi period, the status was not high at first. After Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne, he tried to change this situation, and the founding of the Han army was one of the embodiments.

Wuzhen Chao Ha soldiers are also musketeers, the muskets in their hands are all captured in the Ming Dynasty, the muskets produced by the Ming Dynasty, the quality of the muskets before Wanli is okay, but after the Chongzhen Dynasty, the quality of the muskets is too poor, and a few shots will explode.

Jiannu has fought with the Ming Dynasty in recent years, won many battles, and captured tens of thousands of muskets, among which Tong Yangxing selected more than 3,000 of good quality, as well as a few Huzun cannons and Furlong machines.

The firearms hunting of this Wuzhen Chaoha soldier is higher than that of the Tiger Ben Army, and they are basically all muskets, but their muskets are all arquebuses, with a range of about 100 meters, a lethality of 50 meters, and an armor-piercing range of 30 meters.

Wu Zhen Chao Ha Bing's musket, of course, can not be compared with the fire gun of the Tiger Ben Army, Duan Jinsheng used Yang Tingjian's musket made of modern seamless steel pipes, and it also has rifling, the longest range is 400 meters, and the armor is about 300 meters, and the fire gun of the Tiger Ben Army directly throws those burning sticks a few streets.

Since Jiannu entered the Ming Dynasty in Gyeonggi, Duan Jinsheng asked his subordinates to temporarily stop steelmaking. Instead, they went all out to build weapons and plate armor, and there were more than 10,000 young and strong people in this steel factory, while there were only more than 1,000 muskets, and the rest could only take cold weapons.

By the time Tong Yangxing was in the Iron Factory, Duan Jinsheng had already built enough weapons and plate armor to equip 5,000 people, and the more people there were, the more powerful the more people were.

After Tong Yangxing arrived at the iron factory. Then they attacked, but how could the muskets in their hands compare to the Shenwei muskets of the Tiger Army! The musket in the hands of Wu Zhenchao Ha Bing, in front of the Shenwei musket, is simply a burning stick.

Before their people rushed under the city wall, they were killed by the Shenwei musket, and as for the Huzun cannon and the Furang machine of Wuzhen Chaoha, it was needless to say, they turned into scum directly in front of the Shenwei artillery.

As a result, Tong Yangxing suffered heavy casualties in the iron factory, and Huang Taiji did not believe in evil. Another Melerjangin was sent to attack, but the result was still heavy casualties.

Jiannu did not carry artillery with him when he entered the customs this time, and the defense of the Huairou Iron Works was stronger than the city wall, and there were still so many muskets and artillery in the hands of those workers, as well as the super defensive plate armor on their bodies, Huang Taiji gave up the attack on the Huairou Iron Factory after knowing the real situation.

Although Huang Taiji wanted to get steel very much, he would never trade Jiannu's life for it. There were originally fewer Jiannu people, but they died one less than one. Every Jiannu male is extremely precious to Huang Taiji.

Duan Jinsheng, the chief manager of the iron factory, has also been highly nervous for more than ten days, Jiannu came and came twice, and they also drove the people to look at sandbags to fill in the earth and attack the city, Duan Jinsheng had no choice. They could only shoot indiscriminately, and muskets and cannons could be called up without life, killing thousands of people on the spot.

Although Duan Jinsheng felt uncomfortable in his heart, what could he do. This steel plant is too important to the Tiger Army, and there is no room for the slightest mistake, and Lord Yang has repeatedly explained to Duan Jinsheng.

Hou Jin was afraid of huge casualties, or unwilling to delay the entire campaign deployment for a small iron factory, so he temporarily gave up attacking the Huben Army Iron Factory.

……

At this time, Zhuozhou was also busy, after Lu Xiangsheng arrived in Zhuozhou, he took over the city defense of Zhuozhou, if it weren't for Lu Xiangsheng is a civilian official, his Tianxiong army was afraid that he would not even be able to enter the city, and the Ming official army would harm the ordinary people, which was not polite at all.

The good military discipline of the Tianxiong army made the people of Zhuozhou feel at ease to open the city gate, welcome the Tianxiong army into the city, and at the same time hand over the city defense to Lu Xiangsheng, which shows how important the military discipline of an army is.

The gentry around Zhuozhou said that more than 20,000 days of Xiongjun arrived, and they all ran to Zhuozhou with their wealth and food. What kind of virtue Jiannu is, the people of Beizhili are very clear.

To build a slave is to kill people when they see them, rob them when they see them, and harm them when they see women, and catch them as slaves if they don't finish killing. It doesn't matter if you are a scholar or a gentry, you will be treated in the most barbaric way.

The gentry of the prefectures and counties around Gyeonggi in the Ming Dynasty are all running if they can run, and those who can go to Beijing will go to Jingshi, and those who are far away from Beijing will run to the south. However, most of these gentry were landlords, and they were reluctant to share the family business, and the gold and silver were so soft that they were easy to carry, but the grain was inconvenient to take away, and if it was only transported to nearby Zhuozhou, it was convenient and fast to arrive.

The fame of the Tianxiong Army was there, and now the Tianxiong Army became a safe haven in the southbound passage of Gyeonggi, and all the gentlemen from the nearby state capital supported the old and the young, and ran to Zhuozhou with gold, silver, soft and grain.

As for Lu Xiangsheng, he is a pure civil official, and it is impossible for him to turn away these gentry, but all the food brought by these gentry carts and carts must be handed over to the Tianxiong Army for unified management, of course, Lu Xiangsheng can't get any money, so he can only directly make a white slip.

Although there are certain disasters in Beizhili, but it is not strict, which of these landlords in Beizhili does not have countless grain stocks, this is a good solution to Lu Xiangsheng's biggest problem, even if ordinary people flee, they also run away with their only rations, otherwise they will flee when the army is in chaos, and they will only starve to death.

For a time, the crowd in Zhuozhou was surging, and in just over ten days, almost 100,000 people poured in Zhuozhou, and the food brought was also piled up. Lu Xiangsheng also relented, and constantly sent soldiers to implement the clear of the walls in the surrounding areas of Zhuozhou, and all the personnel were evacuated, and those who did not want to stay in Zhuozhou ran south, but all the food must be sent to Zhuozhou.

This qiē was all completed by Lu Xiangsheng under a holy decree without the emperor's seal, Lu Xiangsheng was able to stabilize Zhuozhou and hoard grain and grass in such a short period of time, thanks to his non-pedantic, otherwise Zhuozhou would be dangerous.

Then all kinds of bad news followed, the right Jiannu captured Changping, captured Yanqing, and went straight to Zhuozhou, the left Jiannu has been connected to Wuqing, Yong'an, it seems that the left Jiannu is also running to Zhuozhou, and the two Jiannu add up to more than 80,000 people.

Lu Xiangsheng suddenly rushed to the invisible pressure, this Zhuozhou is the southern gate of the Beijing Division, once it is captured, then the passage between the Beijing Division and the south will be cut off. As for the Grand Canal, after Jiannu captured the Xiang River, the Grand Canal was cut off by Jiannu. (To be continued......)
