Although there are various opinions about Pang Gang in the capital, Pang Gang, who is in the center of the whirlpool, does not know all this, maybe even if he knows, he can't take care of it for a while, because at this time his mind is all on another matter.

Since the attacking Qing soldiers were beaten hard, Amin who was beaten to a blue nose and swollen face stayed in the camp honestly, and never launched an attack again, when Pang Gang, who was extremely bored, led people to explore the terrain on the outskirts of the city, he actually found a miniature tungsten mine on a hill east of Namhanshan City, this discovery made Pang Gang overjoyed, and he immediately asked Li Liang to mobilize tens of thousands of people and more than 2,000 Korean soldiers to use explosives to destroy the mine.

After a week of excavation, the miniature tungsten ore was finally hollowed out, and the results of the excavation were beyond Pang Gang's expectations, he actually dug out more than 100,000 catties of high-quality tungsten ore, and Pang Gang was so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut, which was probably an unexpected joy.

To the east of the mountain city of Nanhan, there was originally a large wasteland, Pang Gang's Qingzhou army was stationed here after coming, seven or eight hundred tents crowded this open space, in the center of this open space, a large tent was erected, and Pang Gang lived in this tent.

At noon, the autumn tiger was ravaging the land, Pang Gang was sitting in the tent and was carefully reading the information of an artillery piece in his hand, after so many battles with the Qing soldiers, Pang Gang also deeply felt the lack of artillery. So after a windfall, he introduced a famous 19th-century artillery, the famous "Napoleonic Cannon" in the American Civil War, and it is also one of the finest guns that can be realized in this "Encyclopedia of Modern Weapons".

Officially known as the M1857 12-pounder (5.44 kg) field gun, a gun named after the French Emperor Napoleon III, it was an effective weapon with strong mobility, fierce firepower, and extremely simple to manufacture and use. Because the Napoleonic cannon was cast from bronze rather than iron, it was extremely strong and able to withstand the blast of a heavy or double charge without breaking. Its 117mm bore is capable of holding heavy iron shells weighing up to 5.44 kg (hence the "twelve-pound" in its name).

It can fire a variety of bullets such as solid bullets, flowering bullets and scattered bullets, but its weight of 1,000 catties also made Pang Gang scratch his head, and this weight also limited its rapid movement, making Pang Gang's original artillery plan to quickly follow the infantry had to die halfway.

However, after Pang Gang cashed in thirty "Napoleon" guns, in the face of this newly acquired weapon, Pang Gang had a new idea in his heart.

In the evening, in Pang Gang's big tent, Li Liang, several North Korean officers, and more than 1,000 officers under Pang Gang's command were holding a meeting.

"My lord, you want to attack the camp of the Qing army?" When Pang Gang said his plan, everyone, including Li Liang, was stunned by this bold plan.

"Yes." Pang Gang nodded, the expression on his face was very calm, as if what he was going to attack now was not a large camp of more than 30,000 Qing soldiers, but the nest of more than thirty bandits.

"Although the Tartars have lost nearly 10,000 troops now, they have not reached the point of breaking their muscles and bones, and Huang Taiji will definitely not be willing to defeat here, he will inevitably continue to send reinforcements to Korea, if we can't defeat them before their reinforcements arrive, our situation will be doubly difficult in the future, so instead of sitting still, it is better to give it a go."

Hearing this, Li Liang couldn't sit still, and used less than 4,000 troops to attack ten times the enemy, whether this world is changing too fast or I can't keep up with the times.

He smiled bitterly and said: "General Xianpang, although the widow admits that your troops have excellent firearms and are brave and good at fighting, if you take the initiative to attack the strong battalion of the Qing army, I am afraid that the chances of victory will not be very great, and if the Qing army goes out of the camp to counterattack, it will be dangerous." ”

I have to say that although Li Liang is not familiar with military affairs, he still has at least some vision, and all the officers, including Da Zhuang, Li Yuan, and Wang Zhi, also quite agree with Li Liang's opinions.

Listening to Li Kun's words, Pang Gang did not answer, but looked at a young man, who was about twenty-four or five years old, and his dark complexion made him look like an ordinary peasant, and if it weren't for the armor he was wearing, no one would have associated him with a thousand households.

He is an officer raised by Pang Gang, his name is Dong Guo, originally an ordinary sergeant in the artillery battalion, in an artillery training was discovered by Pang Gang that he has an innate talent for artillery, and then he was included in Pang Gang's key observation objects, and now he has become Pang Gang's newly established artillery battalion thousand households.

Although he had less than 500 soldiers under his command, he had thirty Napoleonic cannons in his hands, but he became a decisive force in Pang Gang's hands.

I saw Pang Gang chuckling and asked, "Dong Qianhu, this official asks you, if this official gives you two moments of time, can you blow up the Qing army camp." ”

After listening to Pang Gang's question, Dong Guo still had a solemn expression, his dark face did not change much, he just said calmly: "Don't worry, my lord, two moments of time is enough, with the newly allocated artillery from my lord, I will definitely be able to blast away the Tartar battalion." ”

Dong Guo's words made many people frown, and Li Yuan was the first to speak up: "Old Dong, you can't talk big at this time, if you can't blast open the camp of the Tartars and let the Tartars mess up, we will all have to fold there." ”

"Don't worry." Dong Guo's face still did not change, "If you can't open the Tartar camp, I'll take off my head and kick it for you." ”

Dong Guo's words blocked Li Yuan's mouth at once, and everyone used their heads to vouch for what else can you say.

Da Zhuang on the side originally wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Pang Gang, "Okay, that's it, tonight, the whole army will go out of the city on the fourth watch, and the fifth watch will start to attack the Tartar camp." ”

The generals stood up and responded in unison: "Yes, the last general obeys!" ”

Pang Gang's Qingzhou army is like this, you can be allowed to have different opinions in peacetime, but once the commander gives an order, you must resolutely implement it, even if you pay the price of your life, you can't be sloppy.

After the meeting ended, Li Liang found Pang Gang, "Son-in-law, your night attack on the enemy's camp this time is too dangerous, I don't agree with your risky way of playing, I think even if the Tartars surround us with superior forces, we can completely hold the mountain city of Nanhan, why do you want to take the risk of going out of the camp?" ”

Pang Gang shook his head and said, "Your Highness, you don't know anything, I didn't get the emperor's will when I came to North Korea to reinforce you, and it is very easy to have an accident if you drag on here for a long time, so we must fight quickly." ”

Yes, this is what Pang Gang has always been most worried about, the longer he comes to North Korea, the easier it is to have problems in Qingzhou without him, so he wants to solve Amin's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in one fell swoop with the newly cashed artillery.
