685 The whole army was annihilated
There is no doubt that this matter is very beneficial to himself, and in front of his father, he can also get decency. Let those brothers and officials in Beijing take a look, and when they come to Guanwai, they not only supervise the war, but also observe the people's feelings and do things with their hearts. Whoever looks at it has to give it a thumbs up.
It's just that these 10 million immigrants are really a big matter.
Relying only on the Ministry of Industry and officials from one or two prefectures, it is impossible to do it at all, such a large project is already comparable to the Yongle Dynasty when the capital was moved to Beijing, I am afraid that the entire imperial court must work together, and all the yamen have divisions to cooperate together, and it can only be done in three or five months or even half a year.
Lian Zining looked at King Liang's face uncertain, and said in a low voice: "The Battle of Partridge Town, killing more than 10,000 Mongol and Jurchen Tartars, is one of the best victories in the country, such a big victory, but it is not the credit of a certain person, His Royal Highness King Liang is in the middle of the command, and the credit is indispensable!" Now we can jointly play and explain it to the imperial court. β
This was like the last straw that crushed the camel, King Liang's face immediately changed, and he said angrily: "Since Wu Yibo has spoken, I will help with this favor!" β
Lian Zining looked at him fixedly, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
King Liang rode his horse to Lian Zining's side, rode with him, and asked, "Where are we going?" β
"Jiahewei." At this point, Lian Zining has no need to hide it.
"Jiahewei?" King Liang raised his eyebrows: "Isn't that Amin's lair?" β
"That's right." Lian Zining said with a smile: "Let's go over this time to watch a good show." β
"Oh?" King Liang was interested and said, "Wu Yibo may talk about it carefully?" β
Lian Zining gently slapped his horse forward, looking ahead. He said in a manly voice: "Your Highness knows why I let Amin go when I was in Partridge Town." And specialize in can't you do it? β
Before King Liang could answer, he said to himself: "It's because there are few troops." It's easier to take down, and it's better to cut off one of its fingers than to hurt its ten fingers, and everyone understands this truth. But the official also knows better, who is my confidant, compared to Amin, it really doesn't matter. Therefore, His Royal Highness King Liang must have been laughing at my short-sightedness at that time, right? β
King Liang really thought so at the time, compared to the fierce tiger of Amin. Ha can't be regarded as a steppe wolf. was told by Dong Ce, he was also a little embarrassed, touched his nose and didn't answer.
Lian Zining sighed: "Amin, I must not let go." This person has a fierce tiger in his heart, the cliff is deep, and he can bend and stretch, if he runs away, he will become a big trouble. This son must not be kept! β
He smiled. The smile was full of sinister flavors: "So, I prepared a follow-up for Amin." β
King Liang laughed: "This king just said, with Wu Yibo's ability, how can he be so short-sighted?" β
He spoke like that. I lifted the somewhat embarrassing atmosphere just now.
Lian Zining didn't reveal it, and said: "As early as a month before the troops were dispatched, I sent my generals Nurhachi and Chen Dakang to lead 20,000 cavalry to Bahulu to secretly station. Bahulu is in the northeast of Jiahewei, with high mountains and dense forests. The water is abundant and the grass grows, and it is not a problem to hide tens of thousands of people. Be a little more careful, and you won't be found at all. And just before the battle of Partridge Town, I had sent a summons to them to attack Jiahewei. Bahulu is not far from Jiahewei, and it will be there in a day or two, so they will start fighting earlier than us. β
Lian Zining's eyes showed a hint of unyielding pride: "It's not that I'm talking big, in the northeast, there are not many people who don't tremble when they see my Wu Yijun." If the Jurchen guards in Jiahewei, if he were not a fool, he would have to ask Amin for help as soon as possible. β
"The elite reputation of the Wu Yi Army is well-known all over the world, but it is not limited to the Northeast." King Liang said with a smile.
Lian Zining smiled and continued, "And when Amin escaped from Partridge Town, it was almost the moment when the messenger arrived. And according to the information that my spies have gotten, I can conclude that this Jiahewei and Amin must be saved! There are three roads to Jiahewei, one to Luoshan County and the other to Wutun Hewei, and these two roads are either too far for Amin, or they are afraid that I will find out. Therefore, he will definitely choose the path of the first line of heaven! Hehe, I'm afraid this guy still thinks I'm being kept in the valley, but I don't know, this is exactly my plan! He's in the urn! β
"On the day Pu crossed the river, the official sent Xiong Tingbi to lead 40,000 infantry troops plus a thousand artillery units in the pro-military battalion to sneak into the sky and lurk. The first line of heaven and earth is dangerous, but Amin's army has not been ambushed, and when he goes out of the valley, he must be lax in his heart! When the time comes, it will be a salvo of 10,000 guns! β
Lian Zining clenched his fists heavily, and his eyes were full of murder: "A line of heaven is the place where Amin is buried!" β
ββββββββββ Dividing Lineββββββββββ
Amin's heart was beating violently, and he finally knew the source of his vague uneasiness.
Yes, Wu Yijun's extremely powerful artillery unit, how could he not bring it when he crossed the river this time? That's where their biggest advantage lies!
With an order, the dense forest, which was quiet like a cemetery just now, instantly boiled. Countless soldiers shouted, commanded, calibrated, cursed, and mingled, and with the evacuation of countless planks in the dense forest, which were painted green and could not be seen at all in the dense forest, behind the bunkers that had been built, black cannon barrels were exposed.
Outside the first line of sky, on the north and south sides of the hidden artillery positions, each hundreds of meters long, there are thousands of cannons hidden inside.
Now the position of the Jurchens is about 100 meters directly in front of the easternmost part of the artillery position, that is, the farthest point from the artillery position, which is only seven or eight hundred meters.
The effective range of the small Franc cannon is 700 meters, and the effective range of the medium Franc cannon is 1,000 meters!
There was no problem at all, and because the Jurchens were diagonally ahead, this angle problem made more than seventy percent of the artillery positions on the north and south sides aim at them. The artillery positions were deliberately designed in such a way as to avoid blocking each other's line of sight and firing angles.
Due to the current use of firearms, Wu Yijun has taken the lead in all aspects of the use of firearms.
The next moment. Dense shells fell in the ranks.
The artillery corps is divided into artillery units under the jurisdiction of each army.
With the increasing number of artillery pieces of the Wu Yi Army. The artillery contingent is getting bigger and bigger, and the artillery units are no longer what they used to be. At present, the scale of the artillery 1,000 households has increased to 2700 households, of which 12 are 100 medium-sized Franc machine guns, each of which has 150 people, divided into 10 small flags, each small flag has 15 people, divided into three artillery groups, and five people serve one Franc machine gun, which is more than enough. The number of small sample franc machine guns reached 15 households, and there were more than 120 people in each of the 100 households. Ten small flags, each with 12 people, under the three artillery groups, one artillery group of four people.
That is to say, just one artillery thousand households has 360 medium sample Franc cannons and 450 small sample Franc cannons.
And this is not the whole of artillery power, here the units of the 1st Army, the 3rd Army, the 9th Army at the level of three corps. plus a Thirty-Fourth Guard in the Twelfth Army. There are a total of seven units of the first level of the guard, and each guard has four thousand households, and each thousand households have a Franc machine cannon and a hundred households, and there are fifty cannons. Small to medium samples are mixed.
In this way, among the nearly Wu Yi army here, the number of medium Franco-Lang cannons reached 1,060. The number of small sample Franco cannons reached a staggering 1,150 guns.
Combined, more than two thousand two hundred cannons. In this day and age, it's definitely a ranged force that's terrifying to the extreme.
This round of launches. That is, 1,060 shells with a diameter of 3 inches and 1 cent, weighing 10 taels, and 1,150 shells weighing 5 taels and 9 cents and weighing about 2 inches in diameter.
This is a storm of steel that is terrifying to the extreme, covering the sky and the sun.
Thousands of scorching shells, with extremely high temperatures, crashed into the ranks of the Jurchens.
At this moment, it seemed that even the damp ground was evaporated by the heat, and before the shells fell, a white mist of steam rose from the ground.
Some of the cannonballs smashed on the ground, hitting a pillar of mud the thickness of a bowl, and countless mud sticks and spilled down with muddy water, and the earth monkeys who poured everyone around them were also like monkeys, and their bodies were gray and black.
These are extremely lucky, more are directly hit by the fiery red shells, some arms and thighs are rubbed, the whole arm and leg is immediately smashed into two, and those who are more unlucky are directly hit by the chest and abdomen and other vital parts, immediately broken into two, the broken place is extremely black, the blood vessels and muscles are like burned dry wooden strips, twisted into a ball.
In front of the iron ball, which has been endowed with tremendous kinetic energy and has become red due to rapid friction, the body's defense power is almost negligible.
A soldier was grazed in the arm, and the whole arm was immediately broken into two parts, and the white stubble and bright red flesh exposed by the wound were immediately scorched black, and the red blood vessels and white tendons of the wound were twisted by the high temperature, like dying earthworms. And the person behind him was even more unlucky, he was hit in the chest by the inexhaustible cannonball, and immediately smashed a large hole the size of a bowl in his chest, the sternum was shattered, and the internal organs in the chest and abdomen also turned into charcoal in an instant, and he died directly without snorting.
After killing two people, the cannonball seemed to be unwilling, and it smashed the thigh of an unlucky ghost again, and then it fell to the ground. There was just a stone where it landed, and the stone was shattered, and the cannonball jumped up and bounced twice, hitting a Jurchen in the lower abdomen, and the Jurchen soldier lay on the ground, moaning loudly, and a mouthful of black blood mixed with blood spit out of his mouth.
Because it was marching between the hills rather than on the great plains, it was a long snake formation formed by the Jurchens, and the soldiers were relatively sparse and not extremely dense, so the power of the cannonballs was therefore smaller. But the problem is that there are too many cannons in Wu Yijun, to a terrifying extent. Almost all of Amin's 15,000 soldiers can be covered.
It's like a swarm of thousands of planes flying like crows, indiscriminately carpeting the ground.
Amin, they have to be glad that the heavy rain has just fallen in the country, and the ground is wet and even muddy.
The shelling of this era, especially from high to low, did not cause too much direct damage, but the lethality of the projectile after it landed.
Hard ground means that the shells will be ejected after they hit the ground. Continue to stone people to death. Some shells even ricocheted all the way over, where they passed. Flesh flew sideways, opening a flesh passage through the crowd. A line kill is formed.
And now, when the cannonball hits the ground on the wet ground, it falls directly into it, and it can only form a point kill,
But this one is enough to see.
This piece of ground was instantly turned into steel casting. On the ground, a thick layer of steel was paved, and as far as the eye could see, it was full of craters, large and small. Spread all over the line of sight.?
Thousands of shells poured down, and the weight of these shells alone is already a thousand pounds of steel!
The heavens and the earth were illuminated by the flames of artillery, and the thunderous roar of artillery resounded for dozens of miles!
Dense shells smashed down, covering a ten-person Jurchen, where the shells fell extremely densely, dozens of shells fell without gaps, and the people and horses were smashed to pieces.
And this is just a very small microcosm on the battlefield.
With this round of shelling. The Jurchens instantly killed and injured more than two thousand!
The artillery roared continuously, and with the vertical and horizontal flames of gold and iron, the Jurchens fell into hell!
In this instant, these Jurchen remnants suffered more than half of the casualties.
Wu Yijun's long-range firepower. It's too powerful, and no army can do it today.
Lian Zining insisted on developing artillery units. even did not hesitate to invest millions of taels of silver before and after for this, and now it is finally a taste of sweetness. The Ordnance Bureau now produces 100 flintlock pistols per day. Five medium Franc cannons, such a speed. It is completely incomparable to later generations, and it is not proportional to the scale of hundreds of technicians and more than 2,000 blacksmiths in the Ordnance Bureau, but the problem is, this is the sixteenth century!
The Far East in the XVI century!
Compared to the level of science and technology in this era, this is already an excellent achievement.
This means that it only takes a year for Lian Zining to arm tens of thousands of firearms armies!
And now, the Wu Yi Army is already the most powerful firearms force in the land of China.
From capturing the first bowl of guns on the battlefield outside Jingcheng Pass, to obtaining the first batch of big guns from Tachibana Michiyuki, to now having thousands of large and small artillery, it took Wu Yijun almost two years to get to where he is today. In this process, it is not only the weapons and equipment that have grown, but also the training of a group of experienced artillerymen. They experienced the Battle of Baipao, the Battle of Fusang, the first defense battle of Xishenwei and the subsequent successive counter-rebellion wars, the first battle of the northern expedition, the second northern battle, plus Lian Zining's live-fire training at any cost on weekdays, and accumulated a lot of experience!
You must know that the shells and gunpowder supplied to the artillery for training in thousands of households every day are worth hundreds of taels! That's a day's worth of money, and over the years, it's a terrifying number!
Now the artillerymen have proved their worth to their infantry and cavalry robes with practical actions!
When the cannonballs cracked through the air, Amin seemed stupid.
His heart was completely gray, and there seemed to be only one voice echoing in his head: "Amin, you stupid, stupid donkey who was led by the nose, fooled again, fooled again, fooled again......"
A cannonball slammed into this direction, and Amin sat on his horse in a daze, unable to even dodge.
"Amin, be careful!" The boy beside him screamed, and his feet stepped on the horse's pedals, and the whole person flew out, throwing Amin off the horse, and both of them rolled to the ground.
Almost at the same moment, the cannonball flew almost as far as the soles of his shoes grazed, and even the boy felt the scorching heat. The cannonball slammed into Amin's mount, shattering the vertebrae and collapsing the horse's back, and a large hole appeared in it, and the internal organs and flesh were scorched black.
The horse neighed, and saw that it was no longer alive.
"Amin, what's wrong with you?" I sat up with a grim face and grabbed Amin's shoulders with both hands.
"It's over, it's all over, there's nothing left...... Amin muttered blankly.
"What's over? How are we done? My face was flushed with anxiety, and he was at a loss, he grabbed Amin's shoulders with both hands and shook vigorously: "Amin, wake up!" Wake up! β
Amin was still muttering in his mouth, his eyes were unfocused, as if he was stunned.
I knew that Amin had seen a mistake in decision-making. These armies were brought to their deaths, and they were stimulated too much. The more proud and conceited they are, the more likely they are to do the same. It's like a baby. Zhao Nanjin and other simple men, if they encounter such a situation, they will not think about anything at all, and they will directly fight their way out. And a ruffian like Liu Bang was born in a ruffian, what kind of suffering has he not suffered? If you encounter this situation, it won't be a big deal, and you can escape with your life as soon as possible.
As soon as I gritted my teeth and stretched out my hand, the two big ear scrapers slapped Amin's face fiercely. There were two crisp sounds, and Amin's face was directly swollen. His two exertions were very hard, and Amin even had bloodshot at the corners of his mouth.
slapped these two times heavily, Amin finally sobered up a lot, and his eyes also regained some light. He looked at me fixedly, and finally there was focus in his eyes.
"Thank you, boy." Amin immediately figured out the current situation, he said in a low voice, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and Huo jumped up. Look around.
By this time, the first round of shelling had stopped, and the Jurchens seemed to be in a hell of flowing fire.
The whistling cannonballs bring terrifying death.
What's more. They were stunned.
Out of the first line, I thought it was safe, and I thought I could kill those Han dogs from behind by surprise. to avenge the revenge of Partridge Town, but I didn't expect it. As soon as he came out, he was smashed down by a cannonball, and suffered heavy losses. This huge drop. It made their morale drop to the extreme in an instant.
And at this time, the second round of shelling came.
It's just that this time the Jurchens' formation is a lot sparser, so there are fewer casualties.
Amin finally made a decision, he yelled, "Order, kill into the forest, kill into the forest, slaughter those Han dogs." β
The order was swiftly conveyed by the herald galloping horses.
These Jurchen soldiers are all elites, and they can escape from the flesh mills in Partridge Town, which shows that they are not bad, and a very distinctive feature of the elite soldiers is that they are extremely strong in execution.
Despite the heavy casualties and the casualties of their companions, these soldiers still rallied towards the officers with all their strength following Amin's orders, and these officers were also the last blood of the Haixi Jurchens, the only remaining grass-roots command force.
Then the remnants of these remnants, led by the officers, dismounted their horses, lined up, and rushed towards the forest with maces held alof.
Just like their ancestors hundreds of years ago, who also started between the white mountains and black waters, they were stubborn, heavy-armoured, tireless, and charged forward!
"Kill!"
The shouts of killing shook the sky.
"These Jurchens are still a little interesting."
Xiong Tingbi stood on the side of the big rock, and through the clairvoyant mirror, he could see the form of the entire battlefield.
The tenacity and physical strength of these Jurchens really made him admire in his heart. If it were a normal army, not to mention whether it would have collapsed directly by this time, it had not collapsed, and it had no strength to charge - don't forget, before that, they had just trekked a hundred miles on the mountain road.
But admiration is admiration, and it should be fought.
He lightly ordered: "Order all the armies to guard, the flintlock musketeers shoot, and the tiger squats and cannons to prepare." β
This time, Lian Zining handed over three armies and one guard to Xiong Tingbi to command, if it was someone else, most of them would be commanding a certain guard and a certain army to do something, but Xiong Tingbi was ingenious, directly classifying all branches of the army, bypassing those generals and commanders, directly commanding the arms to fight, and commanding to the level of 100 households.
The whining horn sounded, three times in a row.
"Shoot! Shoot! "All the flintlock guns, hundreds of households, and hundreds of households have given orders.
At this time, the flintlock musketeers hiding in the forest began to shoot.
Amin's reaction, even as Xiong Tingbi expected, was that he arranged the flintlock muskeliers at a distance of only 100 meters into the dense forest.
As soon as the Jurchens charged, they were completely within the range of the flintlock musketeers!
Seven infantry guards, each guard four thousand houses, each thousand households with three flintlock pistols and one hundred houses, one hundred and twelve soldiers in each hundred houses, seven guards, nine thousand four hundred and eight flintlock musketeers shot together, and a single shot could pour nearly ten thousand buckshots.
And this time, in order to pursue the greatest one-time firepower, Xiong Tingbi did not let them hit in three stages, but shot directly at one time.
The Jurchens, who were fortunate enough to escape the shelling, were again hit by flintlock guns and suffered heavy losses, and the wolves rushed to the pigs.
The remnants of the Jurchens are already facing the tragedy of the annihilation of the entire army. (To be continued.) )
