Chapter Seventy-Three: Trench Warfare
In the middle of the night in Weihai Mazi Harbor, two Wendeng sailors' wave-opening boats were quietly docked on the pier, and there was a sand boat that was most common in the Liaohai Sea in the distance, and some lanterns were lit near the sand boat, and some hazy figures could be seen shaking. Welcome to reading //[]
Chen Xin paced back and forth on the dock, followed by the tail fur dog who was always following, and there were some intelligence bureau personnel on the periphery of this dock who were on guard to prevent people from approaching.
The people of the intelligence bureau operation team carried several large wooden boxes to the sand boat one by one, and when they were all moved, Zhou Shifa took Wu Rong and a man in black with an axe-like face to Chen Xin's side.
"My lord, a few of them have put it on." Zhou Shifa said in a very low voice.
Chen Xin said lightly to the man in black: "Is the letter written?" ”
"It's all written according to the meaning of the adult, and it's in Yi." The man in black was about thirty years old, his rough face was full of fortitude, and he only spoke to Chen Xin with respect, he was Liu Xingzuo's original henchman Wu Jianzhong, who walked through the western Liaoning region where the Ming Dynasty and the Later Jin confronted him in the seventh year of the Apocalypse, and reported to Yuan Chonghuan the news that the main force of the Later Jin would attack Korea, although it did not play a role because of the incompetence of the Guanning army, but it was a successful espionage operation in itself. After the last civil strife on Phi Island, he took refuge in the Wenden camp.
Chen Xin spoke highly of this person and asked him and his subordinates to work in the Intelligence Bureau, especially because there were four Jurchens under him, three of whom were Yehebu and one of whom were Jianzhou, and the original tribes of several people were wiped out by the Nuerha Chibu, and many relatives and friends were killed.
They all served in the Later Jin Army for many years, and they all spoke Manchu. But the only one who can write is Wu Jianzhong, who is now the vice captain of the action team.
Chen Xin nodded and asked Zhou Shifa to arrange specific tasks.
Zhou Shifa said to them: "Wu Rong is in charge of this operation, and Wu Jianzhong accompanied him to assist, and went to the private port in Dengzhou to meet Lu Zhi's people, and it was carried out as planned. No one on the road is allowed to talk to the four men. After this matter is settled, the two of you will take the first part of the action team to Laizhou Mansion to find a suitable group of bandits. Only those who are sure to take it will be taken, Laizhou Mansion is far away, and our soldiers cannot be mobilized to the past. You can only rely on yourself, you can cooperate or buy, this matter is not essential, your own safety is the priority, and remember that once the Denglai soldiers set off, you must rush back to Dengzhou to standby. ”
Wu Rong and Wu Jianzhong both nodded lightly, without showing the slightest look of fear, Wu Rong was born in Chen Xin's personal guard, and his kung fu was strong. There is no problem with faithfulness.
Chen Xin praised them very much, and he was also more confident in the future of Wendeng Camp, there are countless heroes in any era, just see if the people in power can use them in the right place, the so-called Jiannu combat power is unparalleled. It's also blown out, but it's just hunters from a difficult environment, and then it's strictly organized. With the vastness of China, there will never be a shortage of soldiers who dare to fight, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Lianghuai, Hunan, Zhejiang, Sichuan, and Guangxi have always been places to send strong troops, and the vicinity of Denglai is also a mountainous area. The mountain people and fishermen are also very strong, as long as the organization exceeds Houjin, Houjin will always have a day when he can't support it.
He encouraged several people: "This year's series of actions, is an important step in the future growth of my Wendeng camp, you are not only fighting for their own future, but also for the tens of thousands of people in my Wendeng camp, strictly speaking, some people are not our enemies, but anyone who blocks the advance of my Wendeng camp can only be regarded as an enemy, must be ruthlessly eliminated, what you do may few people know, in the eyes of ordinary people, some of these things may be too cruel, but the official said, are all beneficial to the country and the people, today may not be seen, But one day, the people will understand what we are doing today, and they will call you heroes. ”
Zhou Shifa and the three of them said in unison: "Loyal to adults!" Loyal to Camp Wenden! ”
Wu Jianzhong knelt down to Chen Xin and said: "My lord, we don't know what is in the country and the people, and we are not rare heroes, but since my subordinates came to Wendeng, it is the first time that I know that soldiers can be trained like this, and for the first time, I feel that there is hope for recovering Liaodong, as long as our Wendeng battalion can have fifty or sixty thousand soldiers, Jiannu will no longer be afraid, no matter who wants to stand in the way of the adults, the subordinates will never be soft." ”
A quarter of an hour later, the sky was light, and the sand boat slowly sailed out of Mazi Harbor and entered the wide sea under the escort of two wave-opening boats.
Three miles south of Dalinghe City, compared with half a month ago, it has completely changed, a soil city rises from the ground, in front of the earth city is three trenches, the first two are slightly smaller, the depth and width are less than eight feet, these two small trenches are followed by more than ten Houjin military camps, as the first layer of barrier to besiege the Daling River, trapped by the leaders of the Qigu Mountain.
After the first layer, it is the main trench with a depth and width of more than one zhang, the soil dug out of the trench is built behind the main trench, forming a thirty miles around the city, the earth city with a height of one zhang and two feet, the mouth of the battlement on the earth city, the height reaches one zhang and five feet, after the earth city is the big camp where the flag owner is located, the small trench of the horse is also dug outside the big camp, forming the second barrier of the siege, most of the flag guards are led by the flag owner, ready to support the first layer of defense at any time.
All kinds of blue flags fluttered on the earthen city, many soldiers and coats walked among the winding trenches, and if some barbed wire was added, it almost made one think that it was somewhere on the Western Front of World War I. []
Zhang Zhongqi carried a few Bao Yi, and they carried a tired Bao Yi corpse to the first trench, and several tired Bao Yi found a place, put down the corpse and began to dig a pit in the ground.
Zhang Zhongqi looked at them indifferently, life and death seemed to him as common as eating and buying vegetables, and burying this coat was not because everyone was happy, but because the weather had not completely turned cold, the flag owner strictly ordered all the corpses to be buried to prevent the epidemic from spreading. Houjin has always been very vigilant against various epidemics, and Huang Taiji has also issued a special order for this purpose, even if there are princes and ministers with pox, others are not allowed to visit, so as not to be infected.
There was a rumbling cannon sound in the distance, Zhang Zhongqi knew that it was Wuzhen Chaoha's artillery, he didn't have to hide in the trench, but his heart was still tight. During this time, his spirit was also a little wrong.
Zhang Zhongqi has heard of the ancestor who defends the city, this person is worthy of being an old Qiuba, he will never defend the city, he has to go out of the city every day to toss, and the conspiracies and tricks are endless, and all the Jin soldiers are highly nervous by him.
He Kegang and other generals also united as one, and distributed military salaries in the city to all the soldiers. In addition, there is still a lot of food in the city, and the morale of the army is also very stable, because Amin slaughtered the city in Yongping and Qian'an last year. Everyone thinks that surrender is also a dead end, and they are unwilling to surrender Jiannu again, and this batch of Guanning troops are all veterans. Now desperate to fight to the death, its combat power is also very considerable, after the siege of several small-scale battles outside the city, the Guanning army is only slightly down, Jiannu also suffered a lot of losses, and the entire Dalinghe City is high-spirited.
Therefore, the Houtai outside the city has also been persistent, whenever the Houjin army attacks the Houtai, the city will send troops to respond, Jiannu fought several times, dead and wounded hundreds of people. However, only a few of the smallest forts were conquered, so the attack on the forts around the castle was stopped ten days ago.
However, Houjin's Wuzhen Chaoha soon made a grand appearance, and a total of three Hongyi cannons arrived at the Dalinghe battlefield, all of which were made in the fourth year of Chongzhen. In addition, there were still more than 20 old-style general cannons, and as soon as they entered the battle, they forced the three trenches in the west of the city to surrender on the same day, which dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the Ming army.
Then Wuzhen Chaoha began to uproot the outer forts, and yesterday began to attack the strongest Yuzizhangtai, which was bombarded by dozens of artillery pieces. It can be seen at the head of the Daling River, because Yu Zizhangtai is outside the Tucheng, so the Daling River cannot be rescued. Today has entered the second day of the shelling.
Directly in front of him, a group of soldiers with a blue flag was leaving the camp, in which Zhang Zhongqi saw his Niu Lu Ezhen, and then there was Taktan, they crossed the trench through several passages, and laid out a formation, and the blue flag on the left flank and the Mongolian two flags on the right flank also transferred a group of cavalry.
Then a team of Wuzhen Chaoha drove the oxen and carriages, dragging three general cannons over the trench, a drum sounded in the city of Dalinghe, the south gate urn city gate opened, a group of cavalry took the lead out of the city, crossed the moat and then battled under the city, Zhang Zhongqi's eyes trembled twice, fortunately it was not the team of ironclad soldiers, the infantry was wearing two heavy armor, very similar to the group of Wendeng battalion in Gu'an, but their musketeers not only can shoot, but also most of them can shoot arrows, hand-to-hand combat is not weak, more powerful than the Wendeng camp, but there are not many of them, they have been fighting according to the city for half a month, Coupled with the cooperation of the cavalry of the Guanning Army, the Houjin soldiers were severely damaged many times. But the earth city was finally built, which made Zhang Zhongqi's heart feel a lot more stable.
Today's Zhenglan Banner is a platform one mile away from the city, this square platform is three zhang high, five zhang long and wide, there are dozens of soldiers inside, there are birds, bows and arrows and furlong machines, they cover the side of the south gate urn city, Yan zhòng affected the route of the Houjin army in the Tucheng activities, and near this platform, there is also a shrub left by the Ning army, they have to go out of the city every day to collect firewood, all rely on this trench platform cover.
The most hateful thing about the Guanning army is that it only left the firewood closest to the city, and the Houjin army needs to collect firewood, and it needs to walk a road that is not close, and the burden of wrapping clothes is very heavy, not only to dig the moat, but also to undertake a qiē logistics work, and the food is also the least, from the siege to the present more than 300 people have died of exhaustion.
A puff of white smoke rose from the head of Dalinghe City, Zhang Zhongqi turned around and jumped into the trench with great agility, and then a thunderous roar came to his ears, and then an iron bullet of nearly ten catties smashed a hundred steps away. Zhang Zhongqi took a look, and Dalinghe City did not continue the shelling before jumping out again. He was frightened enough by the Hongyi cannon in Luanzhou, and now he has become a frightened bird.
There was no commotion in the queue of the blue flag, it was still very tight, and they lined up in a long phalanx and slowly pressed towards the platform.
Three large general cannons with stubby barrels walked on the side, and the queue quickly walked into two miles, and some of the rangers with the blue flag and the Mongolian two flags entered the range of one mile in a very scattered formation, threatening the Ming army arrayed at the south gate from the side, and there was a rumbling hoof sound behind Zhang Zhongqi, and he quickly called a few coats into the trench and made way for the road.
The banner of the blue banner of weaving gold and beyler passed through the passage under the cluster of Bayala, followed by a large group of marching soldiers, Zhang Zhongqi always had a flattering smile on his face, and kept bowing to the passing soldiers, but few soldiers looked at him.
After they passed, Zhang Zhongqi ate a lot of ashes, but he still said to the surroundings with reverence: "What happened just now was the Baylor master of our Zhenglan Banner, a god-like person, you can see him once, I don't know if it is a blessing that has been cultivated in several lifetimes." ”
A few Baoyi looked at Zhang Zhongqi blankly, not understanding what he said, but Zhang Zhongqi didn't care, and pointed to the golden dragon flag on a hill on the front of the guide, "That's where our Dajin Khan is, I'm afraid you won't be blessed, with them, no one in the Southern Barbarians can defeat us." ”
A Beizhili accent said: "Master, yesterday Zhengbai Banner was not killed by nearly 100 people, one deputy general, one guerrilla, two Niu Lu Ezhen, even the flag owner was almost ......"
Zhang Zhongqi was annoyed and ashamed, waved the horsewhip in his hand, and beat it headlessly, scolding while beating: "Your mother's stupid dog, do you want to die, you fucking want to live, you have to do what Lao Tzu said, don't think that Lao Tzu loves to beat you, how Lao Tzu lived back then, do you know." He was tired and stopped, and kicked Bao Yi twice more at the fallen coat.
At this time, the first few cannons rang out, the general's artillery began to bombard the platform, and the Ming cavalry of the Daling River also rushed over, and the battlefield was full of smoke and dust, and Zhang Zhongqi could only see that there were constantly armored soldiers engaged in the battle. After a while, the sound of gold sounded on the side of the Daling River, and even they could hear the movement of the Houjin soldiers shouting and killing.
Zhang Zhongqi glared at a few coats and said: "See, the Southern Barbarians have been defeated and retreated, Lao Tzu has sued you, and it is impossible for the Southern Barbarians to beat the masters." ”
As soon as the words fell, countless flames suddenly erupted from the head of Dalinghe City, and the crackling sound was as dense as firecrackers for the New Year, and then there was a burst of shouts of killing. The blue flag waved again and again, and another team of bayalas moved forward.
After a while, a group of soldiers and Yu Ding came back with a lot of corpses, and it was estimated that there were more than ten dead and wounded, and there were also Tak Tan among the people who retreated, Zhang Zhongqi beckoned Bao Yi to help, he rushed to Tak Tan and whispered: "Master, what's wrong?" ”
"Lord Jiala was led by the barbarian's feigned defeat, and the ironclad soldiers of the Dog Riming Army hid in the trenches early, and when we rushed closer, they came out with smoke and dust to shoot guns and arrows, and the city fired artillery together, and our banner was killed by them dozens of times." After he finished speaking, he hurried away.
Zhang Zhongqi stopped, hasn't the Guan Ning army always fled, when was it so able to fight.
At this time, the Baylor Banner of the Blue Flag also retreated, and just passed by Zhang Zhongqi's side, he heard one of the rough voices scolding loudly: "Lao Tzu is guarding the south with the blue flag, and he has two yellow flags guarding the north, is it possible that the dog can still run from the north because of the ancestor Dashou, Lao Tzu's soldiers have suffered countless casualties, and the credit is all his mother's own, and Lao Tzu wants to talk to him about this truth......
"Big brother, don't go."
"Daddy Bird! Let him come to the south with two yellow flags to try."
Zhang Zhongqi watched them rush to the southern hill and muttered, "Why is it so difficult for the Guan Ning army to fight." ”……)
